Thinking about this, the corners of Jiang Haoran's mouth suddenly showed a hint of evil smile, there is a saying called "You can't live if you do your own evil", since the little devil likes shelling so much, then he doesn't mind pushing them again.

Jiang Haoran immediately ordered: The new 38th Division and the 28th Division on the northern front attacked in the north direction overnight, firing more smoke bombs, rifles, assault rifles, rocket launchers, and small-caliber artillery on the defensive line, and firing on all fronts. Open fire, consume their ammunition.

The troops on the Eastern Front did the same, but they had one more task, to withdraw half of their troops, and to build a defensive line ten miles back in preparation for the retreat.

At the same time, the logistics troops were notified to step up the transportation of ammunition to ensure that the troops had enough ammunition to squander. Because the troops crossing the river did not have cars, all the logistics materials were completed by manpower, and the pressure could be imagined, so Jiang Haoran would be so solemn.

Half an hour after the order was issued, the entire east coast was turned into a pot of porridge, and the sound of gunfire, artillery, and killing cries had not stopped since one o'clock in the morning.

At two o'clock in the morning, Ruigu, the headquarters of the Japanese 16th Army Front.

Commander Tada sat at his desk with a gloomy face, clearly in a bad mood. Although it was still more than ten miles away from the battlefield, the rumbling of artillery could be heard clearly, and even the sky outside the window of the headquarters could be faintly red.

The chief of staff of the 16th Army, Tomoshi Nakura, hurriedly walked in, and shouted at the door: "Tada-kun, it's not a way for this artillery shell to bombard endlessly like this, our logistics 616161616161."

"Nakura-kun," Tada Jun raised his palm, interrupted Nakura's words, and said: "Jiang Haoran, I know too well, cunning and big drops, he keeps attacking, maybe nine times out of ten times is fake, but as long as we relax once, this time it may be true, although I know that he has ill intentions and intends to consume my ammunition, but I can only fall into his plan, as long as we hold Ruigu, his plan to hold Lashio and choke me will have to go bankrupt, and by tomorrow at the latest, the First Guards Division of the Imperial Army will go to Lashio, At that time, all the difficulties will be solved, so don't worry too much about suffering a little loss in front of you. ”

Seeing that Tada Jun said so confidently, Nakura had no choice but to swallow what he said, he wanted to tell Tada Jun that their artillery reserves were running out, not that their brigadier generals were insufficient, but that the consumption in the past two days was really amazing, and none of them thought that the expeditionary force would be able to occupy Lashio in the midst of their heavy encirclement, cutting off their logistics channels.

Although he didn't say anything, Nakura still walked in front of Tada, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Tada, lit one himself, sat down opposite Tada, and smoked it himself.

Before half of a cigarette had been smoked, a staff officer hurriedly came in to report that the patrol team was suddenly attacked by a unit on the main road more than ten miles east of Ruigu, and that they were numerous, and the guns they used and the clothes they wore were unintentional to the special combat team of the expeditionary force, but they were unusually tall and burly, and their combat effectiveness was also very strong.

"Snow Wolf Special Forces?"

"Snow Wolf Special Forces?"

As soon as the staff officer's voice fell, the two exclaimed in unison.

Ruigu to Lashio is still a jungle area, only after Lashio to the south belongs to the plain area, the air force of the expeditionary force is rampant at night, not to mention that they also have more mobile and flexible transport helicopters, and there is the cover of the jungle, it is effortless to airdrop a team of more than 100 people over, it seems that Jiang Haoran has begun to be desperate, even the most elite troops have been thrown to the rear, I am afraid that it is determined to be Ruigu.

But Tada Jun still had some faith, he didn't believe that the Snow Wolf Special Operations Team would still have a living mouth, with their combat effectiveness and tactical literacy, they would never let such a low-level mistake be made, and he immediately ordered the staff officer to bring in the soldiers who came back to report the news.

Soon, several grizzled and embarrassed soldiers were brought into the office, and they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to raise their heads, but fortunately, Tada Jun didn't blame them much, and only ordered them to tell them the details.

The soldier's description is basically the same as what the staff officer said, but it confirms two problems, the invading troops are by no means a hundred or so, although the exact number cannot be obtained at night, but the number is at least more than a thousand, and they have no intention of entanglement, and they gallop along the main road all the way in the direction of Lashio.

"Eight Ga Ya Road!" A few words popped out between Tadajun's teeth, and his face was seriously distorted and deformed because of anger, he knew that it was not the Snow Wolf Special Operations Team that came, but the British army that was extremely active in Xidang, what they were best at was jungle warfare, and their combat effectiveness was no worse than that of the Airborne Brigade.

At this time, they landed in the rear, and their purpose was also obvious, that is, to flank the western troops of the Imperial Army in Lashio with the airborne brigade.

Tada Jun couldn't help but start pacing, his forehead was full of fine beads of sweat, there was a cavalry wing and an infantry brigade on the western front of Lashio, where could he block their front and back attacks, and worse, he couldn't notify them at all, thinking about the scene of thousands of people killing from behind them, Tada Junhou was afraid.

"Order, the 84th Wing immediately supports the western front of Lashio, hurry up!" Tada howled.

For the whole night, Tada Jun spent the whole night in anxiety, and kept praying in his heart that Amaterasu would protect the imperial army, but in the early hours of the morning, the bad news still came, and before the 84th Wing arrived, the cavalry wing and infantry brigade on the western front of Lashio had all been shattered, and the 84th Wing only brought back a dozen war horses from the battlefield, and not even a single wounded soldier alive was turned out of the corpses of the imperial army in one place.

616161616161

On the east bank of the Inovady River, the Provisional Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force.

Naturally, the good news had already reached here, but there was no happy scene in the headquarters, the phone was ticking non-stop, and the staff officers and generals were hurriedly shuttling through it, and everything was in order.

In Jiang Haoran's view, this is a small battle, victory is a matter of course, not enough to rejoice, and the only thing that can interest him now is how to cut through the Ruigu defense line.

Because they had to wait for the two divisions of the 1st Army to cross the river, the plan of the previous night was continued during the day, and the troops continued to feint in order to consume the ammunition of the Japanese army.

And the entire river defense, all the anti-aircraft firepower was on full alert, and all the fighters that could be driven were also lifted into the air, making every effort to ensure that this steel cable bridge could support the Qing First Army before crossing the river and not be destroyed by the Japanese planes.
