According to the military department, although Lin Yue went to the division headquarters to warn Yu Xiaoqing that attacking Nantianmen might cause heavy casualties for the sake of the country, his rhetoric was too intense, which led to a riot in the guard company and almost started a civil war between the Sichuan Army and the Yu Division. After a meeting and study, the military headquarters decided to deduct one month's salary from him. At the same time, considering the deep rift between the Sichuan Army and the Yu Division, in order to avoid violent conflicts, Long Wenwen was ordered to lead the Sichuan Army to garrison in the northern mountainous area along the Nujiang River.
As for Master Yu, Yu Xiaoqing and Tang Ji's subordinates were not strict in recording their faults. However, because the war was about to begin and it was time to hire people, the punishment was temporarily suspended until the attack was over. In addition, due to the complex terrain of Nantianmen, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the enemy has hidden many deadly arrangements, the military headquarters ordered the two division commanders Li and Wang to lead their troops to coordinate with the Yu Division to complete this critical mission.
Punishments like deducting one month's salary were meaningless to Lin Yue, but moving the Sichuan Army away from Zenda was a bit excessive.
When retreating from Burma, everyone had a small share of the credit for guarding the Nantianmen and stabilizing the river defense. Now Yu Division wants to take advantage of the critical moment of the Takeuchi Regiment and transfer the team to the north, which means that they do not want them to get even a little military credit. As for Yu Xiaoqing, although the two division commanders Li and Wang intervened, the main credit for conquering the Nantianmen was still his. As for the "suspension of punishment", it was just a reason for his escape from the above.
Therefore, for those who are paying attention to the situation in Nantianmen, it is obvious that the Sichuan Army Corps has been tricked by the military headquarters. The military commander who has always loved Colonel Lin made such an arrangement, and I am afraid there is a force behind it.
Whose hands are those?
Who else could it be besides Yu Xiaoqing’s father?
Compared with generals who only focus on meritorious service, promotion, fame and fortune, this arrangement is difficult to accept, but for the people of the Sichuan Army, no one complained. On the contrary, the old cannon fodder was very happy.
This time they went north to take over the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 2nd Regiment of Li Division to guard Yiniu Ridge in order to prevent the Japanese troops from Heshun and nearby areas from bypassing the Henlan Mountain position and invading Chanda.
In the past, the Japanese troops in northern Burma and the Yunnan border could indeed gather division-level forces to threaten the Nu River defenses. However, since Mutaguchi Lianya became the commander of the 15th Army, the Japanese army launched a combat plan code-named "Urban" with the goal of garrisoning the river. The British-Indian Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the Imphal area on the India-Myanmar border.
A large number of Japanese troops marched from south to north driving cattle, sheep and other livestock. Even the garrison troops in the Yunnan border area deployed more than half of their troops to join the war. The Takeuchi Regiment is already considered the most complete unit of the Japanese army on the Yunnan border. Therefore, it is impossible for the Japanese army to have spare power to launch an attack on the Chinese army on the east bank of the Nu River before completing the Battle of Imphal.
In other words, the Sichuan Army came to Buffalo Ridge just to fill up the head. The opposite side is not Nantianmen, and it is not at a key position on the Burma Highway. It has no strategic significance to capture it.
No war means no life-threatening, and you can still see the sky and earn military pay. How can you find this kind of life?
From south to north, Meng Fangliao was proud all the way, and Long Wenwen was depressed all the way.
Then, at first he was proud and depressed, and at first he was depressed and proud.
Lin Yue called Long Wenwen, A Yi, Meng Fanlie, Li Wula, Master Mai, and the battalion commanders together and held a combat meeting for them.
The content is not to occupy favorable terrain to take over the defense line of the 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 2nd Regiment of Li Division, as on Jiqi Slope, but to cross the Nu River and go to the enemy-occupied area.
No one expected that things would change like this.
"This operation has been submitted to the military department for approval. While the Third Division of Yu and Li Wang attacked Nantianmen, the first and second battalions of the guard companies will cross the river in batches from here, here, and here." Lin Yue pointed to the map and said: "The caravan Road, smuggling road, bandit road, Master Yu's people thought that after the Xingtiandu was blown up, there would be no way to cross the river except boats, ha... plus the waterway where you went to pick up Meng's father last time, old man Guang Chanda knew There are five or six ways to cross the river, and you should know about this, Captain Long."
Long Wenwen smiled charmingly and said, "I can't deceive you with anything."
"No." Meng Fan shook the map: "Why are we going to the enemy-occupied area? To fight against the enemy? To penetrate the back door of the Takeuchi Regiment? Don't forget the two lines of defense on the reverse slope. With the strength of our regiment, we can fully It has no diversionary effect.”
"Feng Ni is right. If the war gets desperate and the Japanese troops in the Heshun area arrive after hearing the news, even if there are not many people available, they can annihilate us all with long-range artillery and aircraft bombing."
Not to mention, Li Wula went to the Lanjia training camp and really learned something.
"Who said I'm going to attack Nantianmen? It's the Third Division of Yu, Li and Wang that will help us contain the Japanese army, okay?" Lin Yue's hand moved westward on the map, all the way to the Chindwin River on the India-Myanmar border: "Our goal is Here. According to the news from the front line, the Japanese army is fighting fiercely with the British-Indian Army and the Expeditionary Force in India in the Imphal area. If a surprise force appears behind the enemy's rear and cuts off the supply lines of materials and medicines, what impact will it have on the war situation?"
Arthur McLuhan looked at him blankly: "Is this the big battle you told me about before? OH, this is really crazy."
After this period of development, the Sichuan Army has expanded from more than 1,000 to more than 1,400 people. But even so, how big a splash can it make in a big battle with more than 200,000 troops? The Japanese army can quickly wipe them out by dividing them into two or three brigades.
Lin Yue said with a smile: "The Japanese army will definitely lose this battle. I said in front of you that the Sichuan Army's march to Burma can disrupt the enemy's long supply line and give our army an opportunity to win. He said that this will definitely be a hard battle. , you have to be mentally prepared. But actually we are going to pick peaches. If the Sichuan Army sets off early tomorrow morning, it will arrive near the Chindwin River at the end of June. I guarantee that what will appear in front of you then will be a wonderful sight."
"Remember what happened when we entered Myanmar? The British went crazy and the Japanese went crazy chasing them. As long as you follow my plan, I promise to let you experience it. The Japanese went crazy running crazy and the Chinese chased them crazy. a feeling of."
Arthur McLuhan looked at the Japanese attack route and the bases of the British-Indian Army and the Expeditionary Force in India outlined on the map and said: "What if the Japanese won this war?"
Lin Yue didn't answer the question, just looked at him with a smile.
In the Battle of Imphal, the Allied forces outnumbered the Japanese, and the enemy had to travel a long distance. The climate and geography were not conducive to the attackers. Even without his reminders and suggestions, Mutaguchi Lian would not have been able to win.
"Okay, if you insist on doing this." Master Mai shook his head, recalling what Lin Yue said a few months ago. It seemed that he had predicted that the Japanese army would make a big move at the beginning of the year.
Master Mai stopped talking, and Long Wenwen asked a question: "The enemy has occupied Burma for many years, and must have placed a large number of informants on key sections. Even if we cross the river through the caravan road and smuggling road, how can we touch Burma under the enemy's nose?" West?"
