With Jamie's help, Liao Mingyu's hanging heart was finally relieved, but the situation on the front line is still serious, and the problem will still be a problem until it is completely solved.
At present, the war in northern Myanmar has turned into a pot of porridge. In addition to the battered south, the north direction of Myitkyina is also not a worry.
After all, as a major military town of the Japanese, Myitkyina's defense system is very complete. It is not only defended by two divisions, but also an Army Aviation Flying Group. The aircraft that fight the Americans in western Yunnan all take off from here.
But judging from the current trend, it is extremely unfavorable to the Japanese. With the troops stationed in India in the north, the expeditionary force attacking Tengchong in the west, and the Honorable 3rd Division and the 200th Division that made a long-distance attack on Canglong, the entire Northern Burma Front can be said to have suffered. It's a multi-faceted attack.
In the end, the Japanese commander Shojiro Iida decided to abandon western Yunnan in China on November 5, and gradually sent multiple reinforcements from Myitkyina to Tengchong to assist and support the 56th Division's retreat plan.
At this time, the 56th Division was not feeling well. Although the two offensives of the 11th Group Army and the 20th Group Army, one in the east and one in the south, failed to completely break through the opponent's defense line, they gradually swallowed up various peripheral strongholds, forcing the Japanese army to continuously shrink the defensive circle and encircle them. It is only a matter of time before the 56th Division dies.
After all, the Japanese army has controlled western Yunnan for more than a year. They have built a road from Tengchong directly to Myitkyina since the beginning of this year. However, the road was paved with the flesh and blood of countless Chinese people.
After fighting for more than half a month, the battle situation was about to develop. As a result, the Japanese were about to flee. Wei Lihuang, who received the news, was the first to refuse. He immediately ordered the two armies to speed up the attack and no longer give A chance for the little devil to breathe.
At the same time, he also called Liao Mingyu who was far away in Nankan, asking the 3rd Division to immediately launch an offensive against Myitkyina and force the Japanese who entered western Yunnan to return for reinforcements. In short, the 56th Division must not be allowed to escape back to northern Myanmar.
The Indian troops stationed in the northernmost part of the country and the Japanese were fighting inextricably in the Hukang River Valley. It was estimated that there would be no chance of a winner in a short time, so the only one we could count on was Liao Mingyu's advance army.
Liao Mingyu was also helpless with the order from the Chief of Guards. His focus was all on Lashio, and with only two regiments in hand, he really had neither the inclination nor the ability to launch operations against Myitkyina in the north.
Although he was not in a good mood, Liao Mingyu could not completely reject Wei Lihuang because of his love. He could only let Xing Fuquan lead the second regiment to approach the town of Bhamo in southern Myitkyina, temporarily forming a confrontation with the Japanese army here. , playing a certain containment role in western Yunnan.
But the first goal is to clear the siege of Lashio first. Otherwise, when the little devils push all the way up, the huge advantage will be lost.
While various armies in northern Myanmar were moving, hundreds of Chinese soldiers were trapped in a mountain valley northwest of Lashio.
Ayi hid behind a big rock, grinned at the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Dakui, what's the situation over there...get out of the way!"
"boom!"
Before he finished speaking, a cannonball landed right in front of the boulder, and the exploding fragments scattered in all directions. Fortunately, Ayi and the others dodged in time, otherwise at least one shift would have to be canceled this time.
Ayi shook his heavy head. The shell also caused him to temporarily lose his hearing. His ears were full of buzzing and he couldn't hear anything else.
The Japs' offensive was very fierce and the firepower was distributed very carefully. They should have set up an ambush here early to wait for the enemy to appear. The engineer regiment that was caught off guard was knocked unconscious and had no choice but to hide in the jungle of the mountain.
The engineering regiment itself is not very powerful in terms of combat effectiveness. Although its firepower is comparable to that of the Japs, its coordination and combat experience are far different. The Japanese suppressed them in all aspects at the beginning of the battle, plus the damage caused by the ambush. Fear and strength can only be used to 50/60%.
The most terrible thing is that Ayi only brought a vanguard of about a thousand people with him, and most of the main force was still behind. Moreover, the team was cut off by the sudden attack of the little devils, and Dakui's side was already trapped. The situation ahead was extremely bad.
"Contact the third and fourth battalions behind immediately and ask them to follow quickly!"
Ayi shouted sharply at the communications soldier who was carrying the radio, but the communications soldier lay motionless on the ground, as if he was frightened.
"Hey! Did you hear..." The angry Ayi stepped forward and pulled him up.
There was nothing left on the face of the communications soldier. Half of his face was blown to pieces, and the black wounds were still steaming. He had been dead for a long time.
"Chenna Niangbi!"
The scene in front of him made him shiver involuntarily, and the hairs all over his body stood on his head. The fear and panic that had been suppressed for a long time instantly filled his heart.
"Captain? Commander!"
Cold sweat flowed down involuntarily, and the surroundings seemed to have turned into a silent world. Ayi felt that his scalp was numb and his whole head was empty, and he had no idea what to do.
"Captain!!"
Finally... the shouts of the soldiers beside him pulled him back from the chaos.
He stared at the opponent blankly, and gunshots and explosions rang in his ears again. The soldiers around him were still resisting desperately, and people kept falling to the ground and dying. There was frightening blood and screams everywhere, and he held the hand But the right hand holding the pistol couldn't stop trembling.
what to do? what to do?
Ayi's first thought was to escape from here and hide far away, but he was the supreme commander of the entire team, and the entire team had to finish this run.
Let the soldiers charge? No... you can't do this... you have to calm down, you have to calm down!
He subconsciously wanted the soldiers to charge forward and break through the ambush circle, die bravely, and protect the country... This was the sentence he heard most in the military academy and was deeply engraved in his heart.
It was like this in the past. When encountering anything, the soldiers would just rush forward mindlessly. Giving orders righteously would actually make them panic inside. Moreover, he was the one who was most afraid of death.
But after calming down, he immediately rejected this idea. Now that the Japanese occupied the forest highlands on both sides, the crossfire points had already been set up. To rush forward like this would be like using his own chest to block the opponent's machine gun, and it was no different from sending someone to death.
We can't do that anymore, we can't escape anymore!
What will Shenzuo and the master do here? I...what should I do! ?
"Everything must be observed first, then analyzed, and finally decided on how to solve the problem. A qualified commander will not be swayed by the disadvantages of the battlefield. You must learn to control it..."
"No good general will go to the battlefield with fear. You have to work hard to control your emotions and inflict fear on your enemies..."
"You must be responsible for your men for every word and deed. They are not only soldiers, but also your comrades, your brothers, and the sharp sword that allows you to defeat the enemy..."
At this moment, countless pieces of information flashed through Ah Yi's mind. The tactics that Shenzhen had taught him before and the principles that Fang Jingyao had taught him came to mind one by one.
Ayi's eyes gradually solidified, and an unprecedented resolute look appeared on his face. At this moment... he finally defeated himself and completed his transformation.
