At about twelve o'clock that night, Jiang Haoran walked into the Yingduo Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force.

The lights in the headquarters were brilliant, and the chief of staff Huang Jie, the deputy commander-in-chief Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the 66th Army Zhang Zhen, the commander of the 29th Division Ma Weiji, and a group of staff officers all gathered together. Because they didn't receive the notice of Jiang Haoran's return in advance, they were all a little surprised, but they quickly gathered around and saluted one by one.

After the ceremony, Chief of Staff Huang Jie looked at Jiang Haoran's face in a daze, and said suspiciously: "What's the matter, Mr. Zongzao, did you encounter any danger when you returned to India, why do you have so many scars on your face?" ”

"Oh, no, there are too many mosquitoes in India, and they bite me half to death, and they all pick it yourself." Jiang Haoran explained without blushing and without a beat.

"Ah, how powerful must this Indian mosquito be, can make people pick out their own faces?" Luo Zhuoying took over and said.

The wives who came in with Jiang Haoran immediately covered their mouths and smiled, and everyone in the room suddenly saw a clue, and their expressions were strange, and they didn't continue to ask.

Jiang Haoran also immediately introduced Anna and Zhuang Yingying to everyone, and his expression was as calm as if his face was really bitten by mosquitoes.

I have long heard that Jiang Haoran has five wives, all of them are like flowers and jade, and now when he stands in front of everyone, the five golden flowers are really beautiful, and the command headquarters suddenly ushered in a burst of tsk, envy, jealousy and hatred.

At this moment, Liu Bao hurriedly broke in, opened his face and said, "Boss, I beg you, you just let me take someone to Canwen them, right?" ”

As soon as Liu Bao returned to Yingduo, the first thing he did was to find out if Su Canwen had any news about them, but when he asked, something really happened, and as soon as these words came out, the people in the room were suddenly silent, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at Jiang Haoran's face.

Jiang Haoran obviously also sensed the abnormality, looked at Huang Jie and asked anxiously: "Chief of Staff, what's wrong, what's wrong with Su Canwen?" ”

Huang Jie saw that he couldn't dodge, let out a heavy breath, and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday and today, the Japanese army airdropped photos to us again, judging from the photos, plus the six team members the day before yesterday, fifteen members of the Snow Wolf Special Combat Team have been murdered. ”

Jiang Haoran's face immediately darkened, the muscles on his face throbbed, and his expression was very terrifying, Liu Bao still begged to go to the rescue, and even Cold as Frost, Zhuang Yingying also began to join the lineup of the request.

The hideous look on Jiang Haoran's face slowly receded, and after thinking for a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Can't be saved, everything can only rely on themselves, the Japanese army did this, undoubtedly to stimulate us and lure us to the rescue, once we go, not only can we not save them, but also put the rescue team in, so now we can only wait." ”

"Headquarters!"

"Headquarters!"

"Headquarters!"

"That's enough, I've made up my mind, don't talk about this anymore!" Jiang Haoran gritted his teeth and said.

Seeing that Jiang Haoran was so resolute, Liu Bao suddenly patted his head, stomped his foot, turned around and left hatefully.

Seeing this, Leng Rushuang hurriedly followed, she could understand Jiang Haoran's mood in making this decision, and of course she was going to appease Liu Bao at this time.

Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the headquarters instantly became dull and depressing, Zhuang Yingying glanced at Anna, and the two quickly left quietly.

After a long time, Jiang Haoran broke the dullness and said, "Have there been any movements of the Japanese army in the direction of Meng Gong in the past two days?" ”

Huang Jie said: "Yes, this afternoon, the commander of the 75th Army, Chen Mianwu, called, and they have discovered that the Japanese army has built fortifications under the Menggong River Valley, and it seems that they are preparing to attack. ”

"The defensive positions of the 75th Army have been repaired, right? Their three divisions were all seriously damaged, and in this first battle, Chen Mianwu would not put the new 38th Division out, right? Jiang Haoran said.

Huang Jie said: "The defensive position is still being intensified, it is estimated that the whole line will be completed tomorrow, the first battle will be fought by Lu Guoquan's 93rd Division, there is only so much depth above the Menggong River Valley, at most one division can be placed, Commander Chen Dai is ready to throw one division at a time, and the 38th Division will be used as a reserve, and it will be left until the end." ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Haoran nodded slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Chen Mianwu's arrangement, since the Japanese army was ready to fight again to recapture Yingduo, once the battle began, it would be very cruel, and I am afraid it would be unprecedentedly fierce, leaving the new 38th Division, the most powerful force, at the end, was obviously the best choice.

"Xidang, did Xidang connect Liu Xianwei and them with the second division of the Japanese army?" Jiang Haoran asked again.

616161616161 Speaking of this, Huang Jie picked up the command pole, turned around and walked to the front of the combat sand table, waved the command pole, drew a circle on a jungle not far from Xidang, and continued: "Here, about ten miles away from Xidang, the Japanese army laid down about a wing of troops here, and in the morning, Xianwei brought the airborne brigade to pounce directly and fought a battle with them, annihilating about a brigade of the Japanese army, and losing more than 200 of them, a ratio of five to one, the record is impressive. ”

Jiang Haoran smiled slightly and said, "What is this, they didn't pounce on the Japanese army to clean up the wing, but it was very unexpected to me." ”

"Hehe, Boss!" Luo Zhuoying took over the topic and said: "You may not know, this jungle is probably the most difficult to penetrate in the whole of Myanmar, like a savage mountain, there is no road at all, it is estimated that the Japanese army also wants to ambush this wing in this jungle, just wait for us to kill Xidang, they will kill from behind us, and the Japanese army in Xidang can be flanked back and forth, but I don't know how this Liu Xianwei found them, and directly chased them, and now they have chased the Japanese army out of five miles away, I think they will be able to drive them back to Xidang City tomorrow at most." ”

Jiang Haoran said: "So that's the case, that's pretty much the same." ”

Huang Jie said: "General seat, if all the Japanese troops retreat to the city, will we really press all the troops to fight Xidang?" ”

Jiang Haoran said awe-inspiringly: "Fight, why don't you fight?" Where is the 200th Division now? ”

Huang Jie picked up the command pole and drew a circle in the left rear of the jungle just now, and said: "Dai Anlan's 200th Division is here, less than twenty miles away from Xidang, Liao Yaoxiang's 22nd Division is behind them, and Yu Shao's 96th Division is advancing along the Inovady River, and its position is basically the same as that of the 22nd Division. ”

Jiang Haoran said: "Okay, I think tomorrow we can let Dai Anlan's 200th Division first carry out a tentative attack on Xidang, and Liu Xianwei's airborne brigade on the right will continue to pursue the enemy's wing, and even if they can't be completely annihilated tomorrow, they will definitely be driven back to Xidang." ”

At about 10 o'clock in the morning of the next day, Bangkok, the headquarters of the Japanese Southern Army.

Chief of Staff Tsukada Ken hurriedly walked into the headquarters, stood still in front of the commander Terauchi Shouichi, and said hurriedly: "Terauchi-kun, just now the second division of Xidang sent an urgent telegram, the expeditionary force with the 200th division as the outpost, launched a fierce attack on the front of Xidang, on the left side there is the enemy's 96th Division along the Inovady River to quickly advance to Xidang, the jungle on the right is the airborne brigade of the special operations division, and the target is also directed at Xidang. Moreover, according to reconnaissance aircraft, behind the 200 division, there was another division of troops, estimated to be the 22nd Division of the Expeditionary Force. ”

"What, Jiang Haoran is really going to play tin?" Terauchi Shouichi was stunned one by one, and seemed to be a little incredulous, but soon returned to normal, and said, "When will the 18th Division arrive in Yangon?" ”

Tsukada replied, "The 18th Division has already begun to board ships in Singapore, and it is estimated that it will arrive in Yangon early tomorrow morning." ”

"In this way, they will be able to reach the front the day after tomorrow."

"Yes, Yangon has enough wagons ready for them to get ashore and the train will be able to quickly send them to the front."

"Yo Xi, order the second division to retreat another thirty miles."

"Ah 616161616161 Terauchi-kun, don't 616161616161" Tsukada exclaimed with wide eyes: "You must know that our defeat all the way has caused extreme dissatisfaction in the base camp, and even the Allied German and Italian troops have complained to the emperor that our battlefield is unfavorable, which has brought great pressure to the allied forces, and if we retreat again, it will definitely cause the anger of the base camp, and please think twice." ”

Terauchi Shouyi: "I know this, but the war can't just look at the gains and losses of one city and one place, the expeditionary force is menacing, and Jiang Haoran's airborne brigade is the vanguard. Of course, if the 2nd Division fights hard with them, it may not have no chance of winning, but it will definitely cause a situation of defeat for both sides, and even if the 18th Division arrives on time, it will no longer be able to form a superior force. But these are not the main things, the main thing is that if we can stretch the front of the expeditionary force indefinitely, the more beneficial it will be for our subsequent offensive, as for the base camp, what do you think? As long as we win in the end, none of this is a problem, you drop, understand? ”

"Yo Xi, then do as you say, I'll go and issue an order." Tsukada was about to leave as he spoke, but was stopped by Shouichi Terauchi.

"Wait, Tsukada-kun, will the Third Fleet also arrive in Rangoon with the 18th Division?"

Tsukada turned his head and stood still, nodded and replied: "Yes Terauchi-kun, the Third Fleet has undertaken part of the transportation of the Eighteenth Division, and they will arrive in Yangon with the Eighteenth Division. ”

The Japanese Third Fleet, also known as the Yangtze River Fleet, was a fleet specially formed for the river basin in China, and played an immeasurable role in both the Jiangyin Campaign and the Wuhan Campaign.

Terauchi Shou nodded a little and said, "That's good, I don't have anything else to do, give an order, Tsukada-kun!" ”
