Chapter 26: Untitled

Moving to the airport does not mean that everything is fine, in just a few days, the dice and Tan Fei and Zhao Liang have already fought several fights with the American soldiers at the airport, fortunately, neither of the two sides involved in the fight used knives and guns, otherwise the fight would not have subsided so simply." You deserve it, seeing that you can't still fight, you should be locked up for a few more days, and confinement of you for three days is considered to spare you. "Pick up the dice that have been locked up for three days, Tang Cheng scolded all the way and never stopped.

The dice just lowered their heads and didn't answer, but there was a hint of a smile in their eyes, fighting in the army was too common, but the dice were fighting with American soldiers this time. Zhao Liang still wanted to talk back, but was secretly pulled by Tan Fei, now Tang Cheng is angry, and now replying is equivalent to hitting the muzzle of the gun, which is purely adding fuel to the fire. Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Tang Cheng, who was scolding and had a dry mouth, naturally lost his anger, and then turned his head and left with a hum.

Just when Tang Cheng and Mike went to look for the American soldiers who were also locked up and confined, the US troops at the airport suddenly received a new order, starting today, all US troops stationed at the airport began to be on alert around the clock, and without the warrant of the commander of the air force, all personnel who were not affiliated with the airport were not allowed to enter and leave the airport at will. "It's going to be a big battle, and it's not just us, all the pilots are being asked to stay in the airport and be on standby." An American military officer who was familiar with Mike secretly told Mike the news.

With no time left to bother with the dice and their fight, Mike and Don Town began to spread out the map in the house, and deduced it on the map according to the message passed on by Mike's friends. McTonguò's own connections have collected a lot of relevant information about the Japanese army in China in the past two years, and after carefully looking through the information that Mike has found, Tang Cheng asserts that this time it will be a big war. Because the Japanese wanted to consolidate the areas they had occupied, they had to mobilize large forces to engage the Nationalist forces in an attempt to dismantle the threat posed to them by the Nationalist army.

From June to July last year, the 11th Group Army of the Expeditionary Force launched a campaign against the headquarters of the 33rd Army of the Japanese Army on the west bank of the Nu River in western Yunnan. In order to quickly capture Tengchong and Longling, the Chinese Expeditionary Force joined forces with the Indian army in northern Burma and opened up the Sino-Indian highway. The 11th Army launched an attack on the Japanese 56th Division at Longling and Mangshi, and in early June, the main forces of the 7L Army and the 2nd Army crossed the river from Huitong Bridge, Bizhaidu, and Sanjiangkou. The main force of the 28th Division of the 71st Army overcame the Lameng attack on Songshan on the 4th, but because the Japanese army had strong fortifications and could not be attacked for a long time, it broke through along the south side of Bilong Avenue to Longling.

On June 10, they arrived at the outskirts of Longling, and some of the outlying strongholds of the Japanese army were linked, and the remnants of the Japanese army still resisted stubbornly at the strongholds inside and outside the city. At this time, about 1,500 Japanese troops rushed from Tengchong to Longling for reinforcements. The 71st Division of the 87th Army blocked it in the area north of Longling. The right flank of the division was broken by the Japanese, and the flanks were threatened. At the same time, about 600 Japanese troops from the Mangshi side also reinforced Longling and fought fiercely with the new 28th Division near Maqiao. By the 18th, the Japanese army concentrated about 5,000 troops in Longling, and began to counterattack the divisions of the 7L Army from the 21st. The 7L Army launched an attack, inflicting a severe blow on the Japanese army, and the Japanese retreated to the outskirts of Longling City and formed a standoff.

After this battle, the Chinese army that forced the Nu River successfully established a bridgehead in the north of Burma, while the Japanese 56th and 53rd Divisions retreated to Longling Songshan outside the Sino-Burmese border in mid-July due to the inability of the counteroffensive, and the Chinese army suffered huge losses, and the main force of the Japanese 56th Division of 21,000 men was almost completely wiped out. After the success of the Nu River, the Chinese Expeditionary Force did not stop, but directly aimed at Tengchong, which was occupied by the Japanese army, and liberated Tengchong on September 14.

The 11th Army crossed the river on June 1, and the new 28th Division overcame Lameng on the 4th and encircled Songshan. On July 1, the 8th Army was to attack, and the army attacked in rotation with three divisions, nine times in a row, and by September 7, the enemy was broken and the defending enemy was completely annihilated. After a bloody battle, the expeditionary force conquered Longling on November 3, Mangshi on the 20th, Shafang on December 1st, and Fuwan Town on January 19, 1945. At noon on January 22, the 116th Division of the 53rd Army met with the 1st Division of the New First Army at Musha, and advanced to Mangyou in a pincer offensive, and on January 27, Mangyou near Wan Town joined forces with the Indian Expeditionary Force.

Due to the defeat of the Japanese army in Burma and the fact that the war in the Pacific theater was not going well, although the Japanese army had basically opened up the mainland communication line after the Battle of Henan-Xianggui, due to the frequent attacks of the Chinese and American air forces from the interior, and the increasingly tight Pacific theater, the Allied forces were gradually approaching the Japanese mainland. Therefore, in order to eliminate the airfields of the US military in China in order to maintain the smooth flow of communication lines on the mainland and end the Sino-Japanese war at an early date, so as to concentrate all efforts on the defense of the homeland.

Beginning in March, the Japanese forces in Henan launched an attack from the east to the west of the defensive line after the Battle of Henan-China in late March, and their advance rushed all the way to the mouth of the West Gorge. The Japanese army in Hubei launched an attack to the northwest and captured Laohekou on April 8. At the same time, the Japanese army in Hunan targeted the air base Zhijiang and launched an attack on western Hunan in April. The Japanese army was vainly trying to eliminate or control almost all airfields in central and southern China, and had achieved the goal of maintaining the smooth flow of communication lines on the mainland.

The airport where they were in Tangcheng was ordered to stand by and prepare for war because of the frantic attack of the Japanese army, the airport has been temporarily closed, except for the planes taking off and landing from time to time, the only ones who can enter and exit the airport at will are the group of fireheads. Unable to get out of the airport, Mike had to continue to pull Tang Cheng to study those intelligence and maps, Tang Cheng knew that Mike wanted to participate in the battle, but Tang Cheng didn't want to be involved in this big war, such a scale of the war, there would be no fewer deaths.

Tang Cheng is no longer the bloody recruit when he left Shanghai, in the past few years after leaving Shanghai, Tang Cheng has been on the battlefield, and he has been able to go through so many battles without dying, which is also a miracle among veterans. "I think you'd better rest, this is the foundation, people transfer pilots who can fly planes, can you fly planes? It won't open, you're going to be wrapped up in a mess. Tang Cheng, who couldn't bear it, preached Mike, but the latter was unmoved, and still insisted on collecting various battle reports from the front every day.

In April, most of the fighters in the airport were transferred to other places, and Tang Cheng and Mike knew that this was a transfer of fighters to participate in the war. The fighters were all transferred to the field, and the martial law at the airport was lifted, and Mike finally failed to board the bombers and run to the front line, and finally had to follow Tang Cheng to hunt and fish all day long in the mountains and forests around the airport for fun. In June, the first to get the battle report from the front was Huang Hanju, who had been transferred back to the Executive Office, and the Japanese army, which had lost air supremacy, was not the opponent of the national army at all, and the battle finally ended with a great victory for the national army.

In this great battle initiated by the Japanese army, the time began on April 9 and ended on June 2, which lasted a total of 55 days. The main battlefields include Changde, Yiyang, Xiangtan, Shaoyang, Lingling, Dong'an, Xinning, Wugang, Hongjiang, Zhijiang, Chenxi, Lipu, Yuanling, Anhua and other areas, in the battle, the participating national armies killed and wounded 28,174 Japanese soldiers and captured 247 enemies. The Japanese army suffered a big defeat and retreated to the original position, and then the more brave the national army took advantage of the victory to pursue, to take the opportunity to launch a counteroffensive to the Guangxi region, and regained Nanning on May 27, and is now planning to recover the whole territory of Guangxi The news came back from the front line, the whole Kunming city was like a festival, and the Tangcheng group who was called back to Huang's house for dinner had to slow down the speed, and enjoyed the scene of celebration in the city of Kunming. This is the Huang family's family banquet, except for the people of the Huang family, it is Hou San and those who are of the same heart as Tang Cheng, and Xiao Yalan, who is close to Tang Cheng with a mission, is naturally not among them. After eating the meal and drinking the wine, Huang Hanju waved off the maid and beckoned Tang Cheng and them to go to the study to discuss things. Although our family's industry in Kunming is still passable, this is not the root of our family after all, and there are still old mansions of the Huang family and those fields in Macheng. There are no outsiders here, so let's see what to do about it? When the people in the administration saw the sky, they clamored for the recovery of the rivers and mountains, and I think it was true that they wanted to wait for the call back so that they could draw money for themselves. Huang Hanju's face was full of wine, but when he spoke, his eyes were not a little confused.

"Brother-in-law, if you want me to say, from now on, our family will start to do business little by little. Now there are a lot of rich people in the city of Kunming, if you really wait for the defeat of the Japanese army and the rich people run back to their hometowns, then the things will be worthless. Tang Cheng took a sip of the tea made by Mrs. Huang, he had always suspected that Xiao Yalan was a member of the CCP, Tang Cheng had long lost interest in fighting, let alone participating in the mess of the national army and the CCP, he was now only staring at getting Robert's ashes back, and immediately went to the United States to prepare to stay out of the matter.

"Huang, your passports have already been done, and in a sense, you are now Americans. When you go to the United States, our ranches will be bought together so that we will be neighbors, God, just thinking about it makes me look forward to it. Mike knew Tang Cheng's intentions, so he helped Tang Cheng persuade Huang Hanju not to change his mind, and Mike knew that if the Huang family chose to stay in China, Tang Cheng would definitely not live in the United States for a long time.

"Okay, in a few days, I'll find someone to top out the restaurant first, and the transportation company will directly top it to the people in the administration, and it will save the wind and rain in the city when the time comes, saying that our Huang family has made a fortune." Tang Cheng and Mike's persuasion, coupled with Mrs. Huang's insistence, Huang Hanju, who finally came up with the idea, had no choice but to obey the majority and decided to gradually give up the Huang family's property in Kunming.
