Seeing that Peng Bisheng was still hesitant, Chen Mianyue took off his military cap and said angrily: "Brother Bisheng, this morning, this morning, when my quartermaster went to Myitkyina Airport to collect ammunition supplies, he happened to encounter the ammunition supplies of the New 22nd Division.
Officer, what do you think the quartermaster of the new 22nd Division said?"
Peng Bisheng frowned and asked, "How do you say that?"
Chen Mianyue said: "The quartermaster of the new 22nd Division said to my quartermaster, brother, your temporary 55th Division hides in the mountains all day digging holes and does manual labor. Let's do this. Our division's American cans and flour will be divided between yours.
How about your division giving us half of the ammunition we don’t need? You don’t need it anyway, damn, listen, what is this?”
"What is this? There are even worse things to hear!" Lu Guoshuan also said angrily, "My adjutant has a cousin who is the company commander of the New 22nd Division. Yesterday morning, he ran to Jiamai to find his cousin. As a result,
All I hear are sarcastic remarks, saying that your 93rd Division is really lucky. You don’t have to fight. You eat beef every day, drink foreign wine, and you still have 40 yuan a month. If you can find a few Burmese ladies to wait on you,
, even if you give it to the Emperor of Japan, you won’t change it. Well, listen, what is this? Who the hell do you think can bear this? "
"Stop talking." Peng Bisheng turned around suddenly and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to be a coward, just go with me and send a joint telegram to the headquarters!"
Meng Gong, temporary headquarters of the expeditionary force.
In order to command the battle to encircle and annihilate the Japanese 18th Division nearby, Yue Weihan had moved his headquarters to Mengong. At this moment, Yue Weihan was discussing the next stage of strategic thinking with Stilwell.
"Yue." Stilwell raised his pipe and asked, "You have left the Sixth Army as a new force, are you preparing them to launch a general attack on the Japanese 18th Division at the last moment?"
"General attack?" Yue Weihan shook his head and said calmly, "No, there is no need for a general attack to deal with the Japanese 18th Division."
After saying this, Yue Weihan added: "If Dai Anlan's assault group can make a breakthrough first, the Japanese 18th Division will definitely lose the courage to break out. Based on my understanding of the Japanese, they will definitely stick together and defend.
At that time, our army does not need to take the risk of attacking by force, we only need to besiege it to death."
"Then I don't understand something?" Stilwell frowned, "The Sixth Army..."
Yue Weihan smiled slightly and said sincerely: "General Stilwell, you have also lived in China for many years. Have you ever heard of the Chinese idiom 'tiger descends from the mountain'?"
"Of course." Stilwell said without hesitation, "I like Chinese idioms very, very much. They are concise and concise, but have profound meanings. They are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, which is very remarkable." After speaking, Stilwell specifically added, "
You Chinese nation is a great nation, and your culture is profound and fascinating."
Yue Weihan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The reason why I asked the Sixth Army to stand still, and even deliberately said some sarcastic words to stimulate them, is to make them feel angry, so that when I want to use them, they will
Like a tiger descending from a mountain, it will rush up in one go and tear the prey in front of it into pieces in an instant!"
"Yue, you are really good at fighting." Stilwell gave Yue Weihan a thumbs up sincerely.
Stilwell's words were absolutely not flattering. Stilwell did not take Yue Weihan's illustrious military exploits seriously. The Americans were always pragmatic. If they had not seen it with their own eyes, they would never believe it easily. However, Yue Weihan
Stilwell witnessed his performance after landing in Burma with his own eyes.
An impassioned speech in the Hukang Valley miraculously restored the morale of the Chinese Expeditionary Force that was on the verge of collapse!
Ordering the New 38th Division to surprise the Myitkyina Airport was a stroke of genius, which solved the expeditionary force's supply problem in one fell swoop!
In Mengong, Yue Weihan even more imaginatively gathered all the tanks and armored vehicles together, forming an unstoppable torrent of steel, tearing apart the front line of the Japanese 33rd Division in one fell swoop, and disintegrating the Japanese army in one fell swoop.
With the pincer-like force of the group heading north, the armored group swept across the area and brought in the Japanese 18th Division on the right.
Before this, Stilwell had never seen such a novel fighting method. Around the world, it seemed that he had only heard of the Germans once using large-scale armored forces on the battlefield. Yue Weihan dared to do so without any experience.
The bold innovation of tactics under the premise shows his courage, courage and extraordinary imagination.
After seeing Yue Weihan's commanding ability, Stilwell had given up the idea of personally commanding the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
The greatest advantage of Americans is that they are pragmatic. No matter what they do, their instinctive reaction is to maximize interests. As long as Yue Weihan is better at commanding, fighting, and obtaining the greatest victory at the smallest cost than Stilwell, even in history,
Even if Diwei is personally unwilling, the U.S. government and the Allied Forces General Headquarters will let him hand over command.
However, Stilwell still didn't understand what Yue Weihan was hiding in the Sixth Army, and immediately asked: "Yue, if you didn't leave the Sixth Army to launch a general attack on the Japanese 18th Division, then what was your purpose?
"
"It's very simple, just for Mandalay!" Yue Weihan suddenly had a faint murderous look on his face and said, "Mandalay is backed by the Irrawaddy River, and the railway runs through it. It is the railway, highway and waterway in central Myanmar.
The main hub of the city, its strategic position is extremely important, and the purpose of hiding the Sixth Army is to seize this important military town!"
"Mandalay!?" Stilwell exclaimed awe-inspiring, but in his heart he thought more highly of Yue Weihan. The war in northern Myanmar has not yet ended, but this guy's eyes have already jumped out of northern Myanmar and towards the military town of Manglai in China.
Damn it! At this moment, Stilwell could only feel lucky that this guy was a general of the Allied forces and not a general of the fascist army.
As he was talking, Luo Zhuoying suddenly walked in with a solemn expression and said to Yue Weihan: "General Officer, something happened. More than 200 officers of the Sixth Army, led by Peng Bisheng, sent a joint telegram with extremely strong words, demanding that the headquarters immediately mobilize
They went to the front line of Jiamai, and the officers and soldiers seemed to be very dissatisfied with the headquarters' delay in transferring them to the front line."
"Call back to the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Army." Yue Weihan said calmly, "Courage is commendable, ambition is commendable, but you are not allowed to ask for anything!"
"This..." Luo Zhuoying frowned and said in embarrassment, "General Officer, I heard that the soldiers of the Sixth Army are very excited. I'm worried that they will mutiny..."
"Mutiny? Is it possible that they can arrest me, point a gun at my head, and force me to give an order to transfer them to the front line in Jiamai?" Yue Weihan waved his hand and said with a relaxed face, "Brother You Qing,
Just reply as I said, let them hold it in now, and then vent their resentment on the Japanese when the time comes."
The front line of Jiamai, the position of the 66th Regiment of the New 22nd Division.
It was the darkest time before dawn, and the entire battlefield was completely silent. Except for the sentry guard, the officers and soldiers in the trenches had fallen into a deep sleep.
The Japanese attack on Gamai has entered its sixth day!
In the past six days, the Chinese and Japanese armies have repeatedly fought around the small river crossing in the southern suburbs of Kaimai, resulting in numerous casualties. Due to the fierce fighting, the officers and soldiers of both sides had no time to collect the bodies of their fallen soldiers. In addition, the climate in Myanmar is extremely hot and humid.
, the corpses of the fallen soldiers soon began to rot, and the battlefield was already filled with a strong smell of corpses, which made people feel sick.
If the Flying Tigers hadn't urgently airdropped anti-toxic water to Jiamai, the New 22nd Division would probably have been plagued by a plague.
However, the Japanese 18th Division opposite had no way to temporarily replenish the anti-toxic water. Starting from the fourth day, a small number of soldiers began to vomit and have diarrhea. By the sixth day, the number of sick people began to surge, and the soldiers who were the first to become ill had already
I was severely dehydrated, and my whole body had obviously lost weight. It was obvious that I wouldn't be able to survive for a few days.
In the complete silence, footsteps suddenly sounded in the trenches.
The sleeping captain and company commander was awakened by the sudden footsteps. Before he could open his eyes, he pulled out his gun as quickly as possible, immediately turned over and jumped up, raised his gun and shouted: "Who!?"
"It's me, Chang Jianxun."
A deep voice sounded, and immediately a colonel officer came out from behind the corner of the trench, escorted by two attendants. Chang Jianxun was the commander of the 66th Regiment of the New 22nd Division, an infantry science trainee of the ninth phase of the Central Military Academy, and
In terms of qualifications, he is even Yue Weihan's senior brother, but in terms of honors and military ranks, there is no comparison between the two.
The captain and company commander hurriedly took back his gun, raised his hand and saluted: "Regiment seat!"
Chang Jianxun snapped to attention, then raised his hand and said in return: "Take a break, Captain Niu."
Captain Niu rested his legs, Chang Jianxun sent him another cigarette and asked: "Captain Niu, how many people are there in your company?"
A trace of imperceptible pain flashed across Captain Niu's young and handsome face, and he immediately puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "Reporting to the group, including the wounded, there are 49 people left!"
Chang Jianxun was speechless for a long time, just smoking silently.
After a long while, Chang Jianxun put out the cigarette butt, and immediately said to Company Commander Niu: "I will add the regiment's special agent platoon to your company. Your company's mission remains unchanged. Let me nail this place like nails."
At the ferry, people are in position, and people cannot be lost even if their position is lost. In one sentence, you must not let a little devil cross the river. Repeat it to me!"
"Yes, repeat that!" Captain Niu snapped to attention and said sternly, "If you are in position, you can't lose it. If you lose position, you can't lose it. In a word, you can never let a little Japanese cross the river!"
Captain Niu's voice suddenly woke up the sleeping soldiers nearby.
The soldiers opened their sleepy eyes and saw that they were in front of the regimental seat. They all hurriedly stood up to attention. One soldier's knee joint was obviously seriously injured. He struggled to stand up but failed. Chang Jianxun looked at the soldier's knee.
Wrapped in bleeding gauze, he frowned and asked, "Why don't you go to a field hospital for treatment for such a serious injury?"
"It's okay, just a little skin injury." The soldier gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly.
The soldier stood up, but the severe pain made him break out in a cold sweat.
Looking at the soldier's childish but stubborn face, Chang Jianxun suddenly felt a soreness in his nose and almost shed tears on the spot.
Chang Jianxun turned his head hurriedly, holding back the tears. At this time, his chief of staff suddenly caught up with him in a hurry, gasping and saying: "Regiment, the US military liaison officer is here."
Chang Jianxun nodded and immediately left the forward position without looking back.
Captain Chang Jianxun warned himself never to look back, because once he turned around, he would probably be unable to control his emotions and stay to live and die with the officers and soldiers of the "Niu Company" and to live and die with the ferry! However, his position is that of the New 66th Regiment
The commander of the regiment, his position is at the regiment headquarters, and he has to be responsible for the nearly a thousand remaining officers and soldiers of the regiment!
After returning to the regiment headquarters, Commander Chang Jianxun met with the US military liaison officer sent by the expeditionary force headquarters.
The US military liaison officer could speak simple Chinese. Commander Chang Jianxun quickly learned the purpose of the liaison officer's visit. The US military liaison officer's only task was to call the Flying Tigers to provide air support to the 66th regiment. This was of course arranged by Yue Weihan, and the expedition
Since the military has air superiority, if you don't know how to make good use of it, you would be the biggest fool in the world!
At six o'clock in the morning, just as it was getting light, the 18th Mountain Artillery Regiment directly under the Japanese 18th Division began the bombardment.
The Japanese artillery was very cunning. At this time, it was still dark and the Flying Tigers could not take off. Even if they barely got into the air, they would not be able to find the exact location of the Japanese artillery because of the obstruction of sight. The Japanese artillery chose this time to carry out artillery bombardment.
You can avoid being taken advantage of by the Flying Tigers!
Twenty minutes after the bombardment, the 114th Japanese Infantry Regiment dispatched about two squadrons of infantry, crossed the river on foot and launched a strong attack on the ferry guarded by Niu Company. The battle was extremely fierce. The Japanese army broke into Niu Company's position twice.
Lian Ye twice organized death squads to launch desperate counterattacks and drove the Japanese troops out of their positions.
At 7 a.m., the US military liaison officer began to call the Flying Tigers to provide air support to the ferry position.
At 7:20, sixteen fighter jets of the Flying Tigers arrived over Jiamai and immediately entered the battle.
Under the fierce bombing and repeated dive strafing by the Flying Tigers, the 114th Japanese Infantry Regiment suffered heavy casualties. A large number of Japanese soldiers had no time to cross the river, and were piled on the tidal flats on the south bank by the Flying Tigers with machine guns. However, the tenacious little soldier
Japan did not give up. At noon, Mutaguchi Renya ordered the 114th Infantry Regiment to launch a desperate assault!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the 114th Japanese Infantry Regiment broke into the ferry position again.
At this time, there were only a dozen people left in Niu Company who were still fighting, and the newly added special agent platoon was basically exhausted!
At the headquarters of the 66th Regiment, Captain Niu's hoarse roar came from the microphone in the hand of Commander Chang Jianxun: "Regiment leader, the kid's team is coming soon, and the ferry can't be defended! Fire, fire at me.
! Let the artillery battalion fire on the ferry immediately! And the Flying Tigers, let the Americans throw bombs directly on our heads and kill these little Japanese sons of bitches, quickly..."
Captain Chang Jianxun's soul was trembling, and his hands holding the microphone were trembling slightly, but he could not make up his mind.
As the saying goes, kindness does not control soldiers, but this is really not mercy, nor is it kindness to women. Those who have never been in the military or have been on the battlefield with their comrades will never be able to understand the heart of Commander Chang Jianxun at this time.
He was so tortured that he would rather pick up a bayonet and rush to the battlefield to fight the Japanese invaders. He would rather die for the officers and soldiers of Niu Company than call the artillery to fire on his own men!
Company Commander Niu on the other end of the phone saw that Commander Chang Jianxun had not answered, so he directly called the headquarters of the New 22nd Division.
Division Commander Liao Yaoxiang was much more ruthless than Commander Chang Jianxun. He immediately ordered the division's artillery battalion to conduct indiscriminate bombardment of the ferry, and at the same time asked the US military liaison officer to call the Flying Tigers to conduct indiscriminate bombardment of the ferry!
Over Gamay.
The fourth batch of sixteen fighter jets of the Flying Tigers had been hovering in the air for a while. They wanted to swoop down to provide fire support to the Japanese, but unfortunately, the Japanese army had already broken into the Japanese position, and the two armies had already
Completely mixed together, the Flying Tigers were afraid of accidentally injuring friendly forces, so they circled repeatedly but never dared to drop bombs or dive and shoot.
"Oh, God, oh, God." Major pilot Jack repeatedly screamed on the communication channel, "The Chinese and the Japanese are mixed together. They are completely mixed together. They can't drop bombs at all, and dive and strafing can't do it. Oh God."
, the Japanese have flooded the ferry, the Chinese are finished, and the ferry cannot be defended."
"No, Jack, the Chinese are not done yet, they are still resisting, and the battle is not over yet!"
"Yes, the battle is not over yet. They have very few people left, and they are probably running out of bullets. Look, they really are out of bullets. My God, they are starting to bayonet. They are preparing to fight the Japanese.
Fighting with bayonets, God! These Chinese are the bravest soldiers I have ever seen, and I admire them."
"Oh my god, did you hear that? Chuck called us to drop the bomb, drop the bomb now!"
"I heard it, I heard it too, God, it's not Chuck, it's the Chinese, it's the Chinese on the ferry position. It's them who asked us to drop the bomb immediately. They want to go to hell with the Japanese, God,
What do these Chinese people do? Are they really not afraid of death?"
The communication channel immediately became dead silent.
After a few breaths, Major Jack gave the order to drop the bomb.
Immediately, dozens of huge heavyweight aerial bombs swung down from the sky. Amidst the harsh screams of the bomb wings piercing the air, the aerial bombs had hit the ground heavily and exploded suddenly. Dozens of huge mushroom clouds suddenly appeared from the ferry.
There was a surge on the position, and almost at the same time, artillery shells from the artillery battalion directly under the New 22nd Division also fell on the ferry position.
The ferry position suddenly turned into a burning hell. The hundreds of Japanese soldiers who had broken into the position, as well as the dozens of Japanese soldiers who resisted desperately, were all reduced to ashes in this moment! In a blink of an eye, thick smoke and dust erupted from the position.
It rolled up and gathered in the air for a long time, as if the heroic souls of Japanese soldiers were silently staring at the battlefield...
In the air, after a moment of silence, the Flying Tigers' communication channel became noisy again.
"Guys, remember these brave Chinese people, they don't just fight for China!"
"Brave Chinese people! You have won the respect of the American government and people. In this war, the American government and the American people will always stand on the same front with you!"
"Guys, let's cheer up and f**k these damn Japs!"
The next moment, sixteen fighter jets swooped down from high altitude and attacked the Japanese infantry who were crossing the river. Under the fierce fire of the Flying Tigers, the Japanese infantry who had nowhere to hide fell like weeds.
As soon as we came down, the small river, which was only a few dozen meters wide, was already filled with corpses of Japanese soldiers, and the water of the small river was completely dyed red with blood.
