Japanese planes were ordered to crash and destroy the last iron bridge over the Ching Dun River, and lost a series of radio navigation facilities in the mountains of Burma to guide the way for bombers coming from afar, and once they found the Ching Dun River, they could go up the river to find the only iron bridge. However, the new 38th Division was one step ahead and took control of the anti-aircraft positions abandoned by the British around the iron bridge, and the Japanese bombers that fought for a time could not get close. However, the bad news that Lin Xiuxuan overheard was that the 10th Air Force in India was ordered to be quickly transferred to North Africa to wipe the butts of the British. In other words, the private exchange between Britain and the United States once again sacrificed the interests of China, and if the Japanese continued to attack, the air defense positions could still not be guaranteed to be foolproof, especially the British could not provide anti-aircraft ammunition.

Sure enough, the Japanese army strengthened its air attack force, and Lin Xiuxuan's vanguard unit must always be careful of the Japanese planes that dive down from the sky, because the Japanese planes flying from Thailand have half a chance that they can't find the bridge, and when they return home, they will come down and drop bombs when they see the troops below. Even if you throw it out*, you will come down and strafe from time to time. The expeditionary force could only return fire with light machine guns, and with relatively dense firepower, it really knocked down two, but in the end it could not resist the air strafing.

The Japanese army has set up radio navigation stations in various hills in Burma, taking into account some meteorological observations and meteorological information transmission, which has enabled the air force to fly all the way from southern Burma and even Thailand to northern Burma relatively smoothly. If the 419 drones were there, they could destroy these damn navigation points, and I believe that the Japanese planes would not dare to go deep rashly. The situation was urgent, and Lin Xiuxuan felt that it was imperative to let Qin Xiaosu and He Ming use the remaining equipment to carry out an electronic deception of the enemy's radio navigation, so that the enemy could not easily find the target.

Of course, you can't invest too many people, because Ma Qiang and Xu Chong still have to carry out very important reconnaissance missions.

Since the focus of the listening has always been in the east, the enemy situation of the 31 st Division deployed in the west is not well understood. I only know that the new 38th Division got rid of the entanglement of the 31st Division after a bloody battle, but that was because the new 38th Division acted in time a week ago and seized important ground. Now these places have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army again, and the 138th Wing and the 40th Wing, which landed from Sittwe, have just been added to the 31st Division, of which the 138th Wing is the main force of the 116th Division, and the 40th Wing is the artillery wing of the original 40th Division. These two troops fought hard near Yichang and Changsha respectively, but the base camp simply separated the main wing from their heads and transferred Nanyang support, which shows how important the Burma campaign was.

At present, the 33rd Division is dealing with it carefully, and to some extent, these units are fully equipped and more active than other tired units.

Qin Xiaosu quickly made a plan according to his assumption, preparing to occupy the nearest Japanese navigation station nearby, and then create chaotic information, so that the enemy would lose a large number of votes, but it would be difficult for the two of them to complete this mission alone, and without extra manpower, Lin Xiuxuan could only allocate a platoon from his subordinates, and Qin Xiaosu would lead him to ride a bicycle through the war zone to capture the mountain navigation station. The navigation station belonged to the British not long ago, and after they abandoned it, it was picked up by the Japanese, and it was expected that the garrison would not have many troops.

Qin Xiaosu and He Ming were not suitable for combat missions, but now they were reluctant to do so, and they had to go into battle. According to their calculations, as long as there is confusion at one navigation station, it can cancel out the correct signals of the four nearby navigation stations, and even send deception signals at intervals to make the Japanese planes miss the time to return. As long as there is a problem with the identification signal sent by a navigation station, the enemy will be chaotic, and when the time comes, let alone find the target, it may not be able to go back.

Most of the men and horses of the synthetic group have been recently contained, which makes it particularly easy for Lin Xiuxuan to insert Qin Xiaosu and He Ming's installation into a task force that no one knows anyone, how he handed over this to them, it is expected that the battle will not be too difficult, the main risk is that the soldiers who act with them may be suspicious of the purpose and method of the operation, because this is completely contrary to the operational logic of this era, and there are not too many scruples about this now, because a suicide plane may crash the bridge on the Qingdun River at any time, so it must be taken immediately.

After deploying everything, he continued to lead his troops forward. Ma Qiang and Xu Chong drove a jeep with the necessary equipment and galloped westward, and the two of them were at the forefront of the team. A series of technical reconnaissance of the Japanese army was necessary to ensure that the composite regiment quickly broke through the enemy's defenses. Reconnaissance includes radio listening and small unmanned aerial vehicle reconnaissance, and at night infrared reconnaissance.

When Ma Qiang was driving, Xu Chong operated a small drone in the car, which allowed them to have an extra ear and eye a few kilometers in front of the vehicle, so as not to crash into the ambush position of the Japanese.

No one picked up the Japanese soldiers who were 2 kilometers away, squatting on the ground and moving slowly, judging from their movements, they were being deployed*. Obviously, after the 18th Division was beaten, the 31st Division was quite self-aware and did not dare to fight directly, but was ready to stick to it and wait for reinforcements.

Ma Qiang stopped the car, communicated with Lin Xiuxuan, and put a sign on the side of the road to enter the enemy-occupied area. Then he and Xu Chong put on their backs and disappeared into the roadside jungle. The Japanese only controlled the road for the time being, and were still digging trenches, just occupying the commanding heights nearby, leaving large gaps that could be easily traversed. The two were familiar with each other and soon reached the rear of the enemy. It can be found that the enemy has laid several simple lines of defense, as well as two artillery positions, all of which are deployed according to the assumption that the expeditionary force will kill along the road. It seemed that a quick knife cut through the mess at night would not be a problem, but the drone quickly observed that near the jungle, there were Japanese sappers filling in the small river ditch. This is an unusual move, unless there is some heavy weapons vehicle that needs to be maneuvered. They were going to use drones to conduct a reconnaissance to prepare for further infiltration after dark. The drone photographed a patch of trees in the jungle staggering to and fro, leaving a straight path on the ground, and it seems that some heavy vehicles did pass by not long ago, perhaps the Japanese army sent tank troops again. This is a major enemy situation and needs to be reported to the higher-ups. After Lin Xiuxuan got the information, he asked them to reconnoiter further. Because of Qin Xiaosu's statistics, the Japanese army may have less than 30 tanks in Burma, and they are scattered in various places, so they should not be concentrated.

The two quickly advanced towards the suspicious area, and a continuous explosion was heard behind them. It didn't sound like a firefight, so I quickly turned the drone to look around, it turned out that a group of wild elephants had just crossed the highway and stepped on the * set up by the Japanese army, but the hateful Japanese army was insatiable, and the minefield was particularly wide in the dark, and the frightened elephants ran around and were killed a lot.

They continued to walk to the path that had been crushed out of the middle of the jungle, and the two of them crouched down to check, and could see that it was indeed a muddy road pressed by the track shoes. The tracks were quite wide, the hull was wide, not a Type 95 or 97 tank, maybe a British timber carrier. Hearing only a rumbling sound in front of them, the two hurriedly hid and saw 3 Type 95 tanks quickly driving over, followed by several trucks, with brackets installed on the trucks, which were supposed to be tractors for the repair unit.

Rounding a hill, there were several warehouses in front, surrounded by barbed wire, surrounded by lookouts, and the only entrance with machine guns. It doesn't seem to be able to pass by during the day, and drones can't see inside from the roof of a traditional warehouse, but if you look through a telescope from a distance, you can see sparks flying in the warehouse gate, and a heavy tank with several people climbing on it is tinkering, this tank uses a lot of small-diameter load-bearing wheels, which is a Churchill tank. Apparently the Japanese have found something else in the forest. It is estimated that the British army transported the damaged tanks here for repair last month, but they did not expect the Japanese army to come quickly, and the repair shop was discovered by them. But how many such tanks are there here? Can you still fight? Xu Chong and Ma Qiang decided to recover the drone first, wait until night, and find a way to go in to see the situation.

Forty kilometers away, soldiers of the expeditionary force on heavy bicycles were told that they were almost at their goal. They left their bikes on the side of the road, covered them with grass, and followed the strange lieutenant in front with their weapons. The lieutenant looked white and clean, he didn't seem to have been in the sun much lately, he didn't look at a map, he didn't use a compass, but he didn't seem to take the wrong road. As soon as he can't find his way, he will look down at something, and when he looks up, he will appear very sure.

They quickly reached the bottom of a small hill and could see a dilapidated tower with a Japanese flag on the roof, apparently Japanese troops. Qin Xiaosu discussed the plan with the infantrymen, and he himself did not participate in the attack, but only waited for good news from the front. He stressed that the attack must be fast to prevent the Japanese from destroying the equipment.

The gang was carrying 10*, and it was clear that they had a lot of firepower and nothing to fear. The soldiers went straight up the passage and launched a frontal attack. After a while, the battle on the mountain began, and it was over in 2 minutes, and it was reported that a total of seven Japanese soldiers had been killed, 4 guns were captured, and it was a communications detachment of the enemy. Qin Xiaosu took over this place smoothly, and then quickly transformed the equipment with He Ming, and began to send error messages around, and the surrounding soldiers couldn't understand what they were doing at all, and originally guessed that they were going to install * to blow up here, but they didn't leave for a long time. Everyone can only stay with them, and they don't know which one to sing.

Before the opening of their navigation station, the headquarters of the Japanese 15th Army had just made a decision to cut off the retreat of the expeditionary force; Now that it has the ready-made experience of blowing up the Huitong Bridge, the 5th Flying Division is not prepared to delay time, dispatching a large group of aircraft to carry out air strikes before sunset and returning after sunset. The light bomber was carrying 250 kilograms* on board, and the pilots were told as they took off that the bridge was too important to be allowed to survive today. You can destroy it by any means.

At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a large group of planes flew over the mountainous areas of northern Myanmar to the northwest, such a long route, indeed let the Japanese suffer a big loss, even if they can successfully find the target, the plane stays over the target for a short time, but some of them are ready to hit the bridge, did not plan to fly back, so do not care about the flight distance; But Myanmar's 100,000 mountains are a nightmare for navigation, and there is no obvious water system to identify in the central mountainous area, and all the north-south mountains look similar. The only reliable thing is the navigation signal.

The backseat pilot (and machine gunner) of the 99 bomber constantly detects the surrounding signals and confirms the location of each navigation station according to the number, so that it can be cross-positioned and outline the general route on the map. However, soon mistakes began to appear, and the navigator found himself unable to navigate further precisely according to the established calculations. In order to evade the British radar, the plan formulated by the General Staff must be covered by mountains and take complex routes, and it is not possible to simply use the sun's bearing to navigate, but this is a big trouble.
