There is no news from the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army. No one knows what the situation is over there! If you don’t know the situation, you can’t react! If the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army solve the Japanese night attack, then they will not
They need to send reinforcements. If they can't solve the problem, they must let Pingmanna's 66th Army go to support as soon as possible!
Within the headquarters, everyone was a little worried.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Telegram from the Fifth Army, telegram from the Sixth Army!"
"read!"
"At 12 o'clock tonight, Burmese people were in trouble in Tonggu Town and dropped grenades in our army camp! At the same time, the Japanese army outside the position south of Tonggu launched an attack. The situation was chaotic. However, our Fifth Army worked together to resist, but they still
I'm afraid I've lost my position, so I'm asking for support!"
"Tonight at 12 o'clock, the Burmese raided our camp. At the same time, outside the northern position, the 56th Division attacked our position at night under the awe of tanks! I am afraid that we are the same as the ancient ones, so we ask for support!"
The telegrams from the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army all indicated that the situation was very urgent!
"Chief of Staff, what do you think?" Du Yuming looked at Stilwell, and after Chiang Kai-shek left, he told him to give orders to Stilwell as much as possible.
"Immediately send Pingmanna's 66th Army to support! No matter what, whether Tonggu is lost or not, we must support! Without support, the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army will suffer heavy casualties!" Stilwell thought for a moment.
, the result is given.
"Okay!" No one had any objection.
So the messenger immediately went to deliver the order.
Zhou Weiguo frowned. Attacks from inside and outside had always been a common method used by the Japanese army. Coupled with the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides, the situation was indeed urgent.
They had already understood the battle situation during the day. Our air force and the Japanese air force were almost both losing. And the casualties of the infantry were probably very heavy.
At this time, being attacked by Japanese soldiers is not a good thing.
But, wouldn’t the Japanese have guessed that they would ask the 66th Army to reinforce them?
No, the Japs will definitely guess it!
Originally, the Japanese 55th Division surrounded Tonggu, and the 56th Division and the 18th Division were ambushing on the road from Pingmanna to Tonggu, just to encircle the point and bring reinforcements! To eliminate the effective strength of the expeditionary force!
After the counter-ambush battle, the Japanese 18th Division disappeared! Only the 56th Division rushed to Tonggu and attacked Tonggu's expeditionary force together with the 55th Division!
There is no doubt that the 18th Division must be near Pingmanna! Prepare for tonight's night attack!
"Tell the 66th Army to be extremely careful. I'm afraid the Japs will ambush you on the road!" Zhou Weiguo said, "After the self-reflexive ambush, the Japs' 18th Division disappeared without a trace. It wasn't considered dead. It was just in hiding. But
Why did he hide? Then, the Japanese must have had a premeditated plan, or they were planning to encircle the point and call for reinforcements! I guess that if the 66th Army goes like this, it may not be able to reach Tonggu safely!"
"You mean, I'm afraid the Japs will be like last time? Are they preparing to ambush?" Du Yuming squinted his eyes. Zhou Weiguo's words are not unreasonable. Moreover, if Zhou Weiguo's guess is true, then this time, the expeditionary force may
It’s going to be completely damaged!
"It's very possible." Stilwell said. He agreed with Zhou Weiguo's guess. "If I were the Japanese commander, I would not give up such a good opportunity. Therefore, if the 66th Army goes over, I am afraid that it will really be ambushed.
.”
"What should we do? Don't we go to the rescue?" Du Yuming was a little angry.
"We still need to save them, otherwise there will really not be many people left in the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army." Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "Let the 66th Army take a long detour!"
"That's all we can do! Order: The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army stand firm and wait for reinforcements! The 66th Army will immediately go to Tonggu for support. Please be careful on the way and avoid the main road!"
The atmosphere in the headquarters was a bit depressing. No one expected that the Japanese would attack at night and play such a trick. Although this was just Zhou Weiguo's guess, no one thought it was false. Because, if it were them, they would
Will do the same.
Zhou Weiguo sighed slightly, he had already done his best, and he could only follow fate.
…
Not far outside the ancient town, Zhu Ziming and others put on the Japanese military uniforms and equipment that Liu San had found.
"You don't understand Japanese, so don't speak anymore. The three of us will handle everything." Liu San warned, "The fighting on the Tonggu position is very fierce now, but I believe that the Japanese commander will definitely not
Go to the battlefield in person! When I went to the Japs camp, I found the Japs coming out in droves! So it didn’t take much effort to get these things! This gave us a great opportunity!"
"Well, Brother Liu San, what do you think we should do?"
"The goal of this trip is a beheading operation! That is, to kill the top brass of the Japanese 55th Division! If we kill the top brass of the Japanese 55th Division, this siege can be solved! But if it fails, I'm afraid we will also be in danger.
." Liu San spoke. In fact, he only asked Zhu Ziming to bring two people to follow him, because too many people was not a good thing. Therefore, Zhu Ziming also selected the more skilled among the dozen or so pilots.
A better and smarter person.
"Got it!" Zhu Ziming nodded.
"Well, in a moment, the three of us will take one of us. In short, you three don't need to talk. Just watch our gestures and winks."
"good!"
"Then let's go!"
…
On the Sixth Army side, Gan Lichu has received the telegram from the headquarters and is waiting for reinforcements!
"Send the order and tell everyone to hold on! If you hold on for two hours, there will be reinforcements!" Gan Lichu said in a deep voice. The pressure on their Sixth Army was heavier than that on the Fifth Army. Because the Sixth Army was facing the 56th Army.
The mechanized division of the division! They couldn't stop the Japanese tanks! Coupled with the super firepower of the 56th Division, they were already vulnerable! As for the Burmese who originally came to attack them, after being chased by a regiment,
I don't know where I went.
In other words, the Sixth Army's top priority is to hold its position! As long as they hold on, then, as soon as the 66th Army arrives, they can attack the Japanese front and back! The situation of their Sixth Army will change immediately! Moreover, they will compare
The 5th Army is much easier! Because they are to the north of Tonggu! The 66th Army is also to the north!
"Yes!" Then, soldiers began to pass orders one after another. The originally depressed soldiers of the Sixth Army cheered up after hearing this order!
Originally, if a person is in a desperate situation, many times they don't even want to put in too much effort to resist. Tonight's situation, in the eyes of many soldiers of the expeditionary force, is already a desperate situation!
But in a desperate situation, they saw hope again! As long as they persist for two hours, reinforcements will come! At that time, they will not only be able to relieve the current situation, but also attack the Japanese from both front and back!
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
For a time, many soldiers of the Sixth Army roared on the position!
