Chapter 1005: Student Company
Today, the Airborne Brigade has gone through several tragic battles, and nearly half of the troops of nearly 10,000 people have suffered casualties, but John's Marauder Independent Regiment is almost unscathed, still maintaining an establishment of more than 3,800 people, except for a few hundred people thrown into the rear, and the frontal attacking force is also nearly 8,000 people. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
And these 8,000 people are the strongest team in Jiang Haoran's hands now, there is absolutely no suspense in using them to impact the Japanese defense line, plus the rear of the Japanese army has now been beaten into a pot of porridge by the Snow Wolf special combat team and armed helicopters, everything is even more reasonable.
It took almost half an hour for the defense line of the Japanese Eighth Division to be torn apart, and Yachierro smashed into the enemy group like a tiger and wolf, and attacked the Japanese Eighth Division with the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team in front and back.
Chen Feng's 93rd Division also took advantage of the situation to press the front line, penetrating from the junction of the 22nd and 8th Divisions of the Japanese Army, cutting off the linkage between the two divisions.
The 1st Division and the 29th Division were not idle, and they took an offensive stance, and a dense number of shells and torrential bullets smashed into the enemy's position, and the momentum of the main force to break through was completely unfolded.
The battle began at ten o'clock in the evening and did not end until five o'clock in the morning of the next day, when the expeditionary force completely penetrated the defense line of dozens of miles on the northern front, and the number of enemies destroyed could not be counted, but the eighth division was basically disabled, and the price paid by the expeditionary force was less than two thousand.
From beginning to end, the troops of the Japanese army on the western front did not send a single soldier to the Eighth Division, the cutting off of the 93rd Division was only one reason, the most important thing was that the Japanese army did not dare to reinforce, and in a hurry, Tada Jun could not know Jiang Haoran's true intentions, coupled with the loss of contact with the Eighth Division, Tada Jun did not know that the Eighth Division needed reinforcements, and by the time he understood, it was already the next morning, but it was too late, and all he could do was to gather the remnants of the defeated army.
The 1st Guards Division on the Southern Front was completely kept in the dark, they didn't know what happened last night, their own casualties plus the air raid at more than nine o'clock, they were also afraid of a sneak attack by the expeditionary force, so they chose not to move.
The Japanese army inflicted heavy casualties on the expeditionary force during the day yesterday, and Jiang Haoran took revenge overnight, and he was far more happy than the Japanese army.
It was also because of this surprise attack that the Japanese army Tada Junbu brought an unprecedented sense of crisis, the Eighth Division was almost completely destroyed, and the Tenth Division also suffered heavy casualties.
Moreover, several fierce battles in a row have almost exhausted the ammunition reserves, and if they want to launch another attack, I am afraid that it will take three to five days of airdrops to ensure that the ammunition is sufficient, and the battle has reached more than ten days, and their food is about to run out, and this siege has put them in a situation of more than one bad luck.
As for the 1st Guards Division of the Japanese Army, after losing the elite of the heavy artillery brigade and two infantry wings, their situation was not much better, and it was difficult to organize an effective offensive in a short time.
At this point, the expeditionary force ushered in a short period of tranquility in Lashio, and the key to the battle began to favor the progress of the western Yunnan team, and only when they tore apart the Japanese defense line, the danger of Lashio could be truly lifted.
In the early morning of 13 September, the 41st Group Army was in the provisional headquarters of the former enemy in western Yunnan.
Chu Zhongtian, Su Peng, Liu Dakun, and a group of staff officers and generals walked out of the war room, and the brigade commanders and regiment commanders did not stop a single step, but walked directly to the courtyard, jumped into the jeep, and walked all the way away.
After more than ten days of excavation, the sappers finally succeeded in digging the tunnel to the bottom of the top of the rolling dragon slope, and now it has entered the stage of installing explosives, and in another hour, the entire rolling dragon slope will collapse after a loud bang, and the troops will immediately turn to attack, and the danger of Lashio and Jiang Haoran's safety are on the shoulders of several of their divisions, and they dare not delay for a minute.
Out of the door, Chu Zhongtian stopped in front of Su Peng and Liu Dakun, and said: "Butcher Su, Liu Dazhu, why don't you change our special operations division for the main attack this time, I don't look down on you, the battle in front of us is too difficult to fight, and we may have a better chance of winning if we go up." ”
Liu Dakun's eyes widened, and he scolded angrily: "Bullshit, isn't this looking down on us? Tell you that Chu is a big man, don't think that the 40th Group Army can fight as far as your special operations division is concerned, my new Fifth Division is definitely not a bad seed, this Songshan Heights Lao Tzu will bite it off even if he bites. ”
Su Peng's reaction was not as fierce as Liu Dakun's, and he said with a wry smile: "Zhongtian, the special operations division is the treasure of the general seat, and it must not be consumed in such a tough battle, besides, the general division hopes that your special operations division is like a bayonet that stabs into the heart of the enemy, if this bayonet is dull in Songshan, who will guarantee the safety of Lashio and the safety of the general seat?" ”
Chu Zhongtian glanced at Liu Dakun, didn't intend to pay attention to him, and said to Su Peng: "In this way, I'll transfer a student to you, maybe it can help you a lot." ”
"Student Company? How can they help me? Su Penghu said suspiciously.
"Hehe, you'll know when the time comes, okay, hurry up and go to the front, I'm watching at home, you can rest assured, I won't accompany you, I have to go back to the base airport to pick up someone." Chu Zhongtian raised his legs as he spoke, ready to leave.
Su Peng said with a smile: "Yo, where did this master come from, I still have to greet our Master Chu in person?" ”
Chu Zhongtian said: "The big man is not, but he is the 'baby' of the general seat, Liang Xiaotian, the son of Liang Gong." ”
Su Peng said: "Xiaotian? What is he doing at this time? ”
"He didn't come to join in the fun, he came on the orders of the head office, and he came to do us a great favor."
"Oh" Su Peng thought for a moment, nodded and didn't say anything more, waved his hand at Chu Zhongtian, and motioned for him to hurry up and pick up someone.
Chu Zhongtian raised his legs, Liu Dakun hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, this will change into a flattering face, and said with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Zhongtian, is this student even going to transfer one to my new fifth division?" ”
Chu Zhongtian glanced at Liu Dakun, waved his hand and said, "What nonsense, what else do you need from the new Fifth Division, don't you have teeth?" Bite it with your teeth! ”
After finishing speaking, he raised his leg and left, Liu Dakun hurriedly stepped forward and dragged him, and said hurriedly: "Zhongtian, favor one over the other or brother?" ”
Chu Zhongtian shook his arm, got rid of Liu Dakun's entanglement, and said angrily: "You have to get it, I'll give it to you, but you have to ensure their safety, they are not combat troops, I only have two or three people in each company, and I will transfer one company to you, and almost all my reserve forces will be withdrawn." ”
"Well, this is a brother, don't worry, I'll send a special team to protect them." Liu Dakun smiled at this time.
