Songshan stands suddenly on the west bank of Nujiang River, with deep valleys and Nujiang River in front, steep slopes on the back, and mountains on the left and right, shaped like a natural bridgehead.

This unique natural advantage is enough to make it favored by thousands of people.

So...

The only bridge in Nujiang, Huitong Bridge, is built here. The Yunnan-Burma Highway is located at the foot of its mountain. The river surface 40 kilometers north of Nujiang Dahei Du, is under its control.

It not only guards the traffic throat of entering Nujiang in western Yunnan, but also controls the initiative on the Nujiang battlefield.

Advance can attack, retreat can defend.

It can also form a horn-like momentum with the surrounding Tengchong and Longling, echoing each other and helping each other. It is difficult not to become a strategic location.

It is not unreasonable to be called Gibraltar in the East.

If Songshan cannot be conquered and the Yunnan-Burma Highway cannot be smoothly cleared, transportation will be very difficult, and the plum rain season is coming soon. At that time, the water level of the Nujiang River will rise sharply, and transportation will become increasingly difficult.

Under the premise of the failure of the Tengchong battle, the Songshan Battle became the key to the Western Yunnan Battle, which became a natural thing.

Two years ago, the Yu army, with its own strength, blocked the Zhunei Lian team, which had crushed all the troops and came with the might of victory, and defended Songshan, the Nantianmen Pass in western Yunnan.

The Japanese army was defeated to Chongqing within two months, eliminated the ambitions of the National Government, and poured a basin of cold water into pieces.

During the next two years of garrison, the entire Yu army performed very well, and did not give the Japanese army any opportunity to take advantage of.

This gateway in southern China is as stable as Mount Tai, giving all the troops of the expeditionary army that were defeated on the first expedition enough time to breathe and recover.

Under such a general premise...

Not only Yu Xiaoqing, Feng Yuntian, Long Weng, Meng Fanla and other active preparers of Yu's army, they felt that this battle must be the "first battle to build a division" of Yu's army.

Even Tang Ji, a military-style politician who is more interested in politics than in war, thinks this time it's OK.

I began to secretly plan and prepare for how to use this crucial battle to gain more benefits for the "Yu family".

Not to mention the people in China.

Because of Mr. Yu's outstanding performance in defense, and Feng Yuntian, a general who often dominated newspaper headlines, was familiar to the public.

Everyone has unlimited expectations for Master Yu, the No. 1 Division of Nujiang.

The Eighth Army, which has a poor record, is at the two extremes of popularity.

Han Shaoying, who is quite acquainted with Feng Yuntian, is even ready to set off to be a war correspondent in the main position of Nujiang.

Witness the great anti-Japanese hero Feng Yuntian once again created his legendary record.

However, just like this, there is basically no suspense, and it is just waiting for Master Yu to launch a counterattack horn from the East Coast.

A new round of orders from the chief of the Expeditionary Force has arrived, which has affected more than 100,000 expeditionary forces in western Yunnan.

Both the left and the right groups have changed, and the main position of Songshan was also not spared.

First, the 20th Army, which was the main attacker of the right wing, changed from an offensive posture to a defensive posture.

The 53rd Army and the 54th Army remained unchanged, and remained in the Gaoligong Mountain and surrounding areas, maintaining an offensive and defensive attitude with the Japanese army.

Delay the Japanese troops in the area and prevent them from supporting the Matsuyama side.

The Eighth Army, which was responsible for the main attack on Tengchong, suffered heavy casualties and required proper renovation and rest.

Therefore, only the 82nd Division and the 109th Division were left behind to protect the engineers from building defenses outside Tengchong City to prevent the Japanese army from counterattacking in Tengchong City.

The purpose is to drag down the large troops in Tengchong and provide support for the battle on the Songshan side.

The 1st Division, the most casualties, retreated back to the east bank of Nujiang River with the commander He Shaozhou, and the garrison rested and waited for the next order.

The 20th Army changed from offensive to defense, and the 11th Army on the left wing was exactly the opposite.

Change from a defensive posture to an offensive posture.

The 2nd Army, which had only two divisions under his command, was attacked by the 9th Division and the 33rd Division, which had fewer troops in the attack on Mangshi, which was mobilized by less Japanese troops.

The 6th Army also has only two divisions, including the main force of the New 39th Division and the 2nd Preparatory Division, bypassing Songshan and attacking Longling.

The 87th Division of the 71st Army was transferred to Mangshi and attacked with the Second Army.

The 88th Division was only responsible for cooperating with the Sixth Army to fight, and followed the Sixth Army, which was mainly attacking Longling, bypassing the Songshan position, and preparing to take down the empty Longling in one fell swoop.

It is normal for the order to come here, everything is going on around pure "war".

Each step is to make changes to the overall situation and to promote the war more conducive to the promotion of the war, so as to meet with the Chinese army in India as soon as possible.

Keke's next deployment has become a little distorted.

The remaining units of the 71st Army's new 28th Division, the 6th Army's 117th Regiment of the 39th Division and the 146th Regiment of the 33rd Division of the 2nd Army were all transferred to the main position of Nujiang.

Commanded by Zhong Bin, the commander of the 71st Army, and the regiments of the 28th Division were the main attacking forces, and the 117th Regiment and the 146th Regiment were supplemented. On June 4, the attack on the Songshan position was launched.

It is important to take down the "precautions for emptiness" Songshan within one month.

The Yu Division, which was originally stationed in Songshan's main position, only needs to cooperate with the main attacking troops to hand over the relevant positions, and do its best to assist the main attacking troops in, and provide necessary venues and logistics supplies.

Sending troops to fight or something has nothing to do with it.

As soon as the two orders came out, everyone in the whole country was "shocked".

What is the operation?

He has been working diligently to defend Songshan, Nujiang for more than two years, and has no mistakes. He knows the enemy of Songshan and is theoretically the most suitable for the main attacker.

Not only did it fail to become the main attack force of the Songshan Battle, it didn't even need to coordinated attacks.

He has definitely become a "choreographer".

Not only do you have to eat meat, but you don’t even have to drink soup, and you don’t even have the qualifications to lick the plate.

For this battle, the Yu army had been preparing for more than two years, and even when they were sleeping at night, they were thinking about attacking Songshan.

The moment he received this order, more than 10,000 people from Master Yu could not accept it.

That's so angry ~

From the division commander to the soldiers, everyone cursed.

Yu Xiaoqing was so angry that she overturned the table. She glared and called the Supreme Command three times within a day, asking to join the war as the main combat force.

The request was rejected!

Yu Xiaoqing had no choice but to give in, hoping to assist the main attacking troops in fighting together.

The reply is the same.

This time, the best combat plan was discussed after careful consideration by the Shangfeng Mountains. The Yu Division needs to cooperate closely and no objection is allowed.

Otherwise, the Yu Army will be punished accordingly on the grounds of delaying the fighter plane.

This is an ultimatum. If you make it clear, you will say: "I can't do anything like this, so if you make trouble, be careful, I will do you."

The dizzy order of the commander of the Expeditionary Army to seek far and wide made the entire Yu army burst into flames, and the domestic public opinion atmosphere was also very passionate.

The front page headline of Xinhua News Agency is a criticism written by Han Shaoying.

The article uses a lot of sharp words to criticize the incompetence of this combat arrangement, and explicitly questioning that there are serious understatement hypes.

Only Xinhua News Agency dares to write obscure things in newspapers.

There are many young students in Chongqing and Kunming, and the emotions of young people are more likely to erupt. They even held many demonstrations on the same day.

The questioning of the inappropriate deployment of the Songshan Campaign is questioned and hopes that the National Government can re-arrange it.

Yet!

No matter how serious the dissatisfaction of Yu's army was or how huge the domestic resistance was, the orders from the superiors were still as "military orders as mountains".

There is no change, it is more stable than Mount Tai.

Seeing that the command regiment led by the commander of the 71st Army and various troops entered Chanda City one after another, the Yu Division would give up the position obediently.

Yu Xiaoqing was really anxious and had no choice but to ask Tang Ji for help.

Even if Yu Xiaoqing hates political struggles and is disgusted with this intrigue, he has to compromise at this moment.

This was the first time Tang Ji saw Yu Xiaoqing surrender and he also had some opinions on this matter.

So when talking about using his political means, we contacted General Yu and his "friends" in Chongqing to find out the reason, and see if there is room for maneuvering in this matter.

Unfortunately, after Tang Ji's side secretly surveyed the situation, his heart became cold.

Not only did he not help Yu Xiaoqing go to the top to deal with him, but he even made a fool of himself in order to prevent Yu Xiaoqing from accepting the result, and he had a conflict with the main attacking force that came to take over.

Orders were issued secretly to the Second Regiment and the logistics departments. Without his orders, there must be no resistance. We must fully cooperate with the main attacking troops to deal with the defense.

It means that even if it is Yu Xiaoqing's order, no resistance shall be made.

After secretly instructing his people, Tang Ji was afraid that something would happen, so he asked Yu Xiaoqing to summon Feng Yuntian and Long Weng to come for a meeting.

Things in politics are all unspoken rules, and they cannot be directly put on the table.

Tang Ji could not tell everyone directly directly that the reason for the credit was robbed was only to use a slanderous way of using a slanderous way of saying something.

Feng Yuntian, Yu Xiaoqing and Long Wenhuan, each of them is not a rookie who joins the army and has a certain understanding of the unspoken political rules.

After hearing what Tang Jiyi said something, besides his anger, he was helpless with a bitter smile.
