Chapter 142 Tengchong Outpost

At the same time, after months of rest and ship replenishment, the US Navy's Pacific Fleet finally restored its strength before the Midway Naval Battle. In contrast, due to limited production capacity, the ships it lost in the Midway Navy have never been supplemented. Due to the huge gap in Japan and the United States' industrial strength, the US Navy, which was once at a disadvantage in tactical terms, will once again start to anchor out of the port. The first thing the US Pacific Fleet faces is naturally to avenge the shame.

As a result of the past, General Nimitz, the commander of the US Pacific Fleet, changed his previous drastic tactical style and demarcated his subordinates' fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth task force to use it as a separate tactical unit. Therefore, several US fleets were cautiously active on the Pacific Ocean, intending to confuse the Japanese army and find an opportunity to fight again.

The US Marine Corps repeatedly exchanged fire with the Japanese army on Guadalone under the cover of the Navy's special condemnation battle group. Obviously, the US military was not suitable for this island capture war and also lacked the necessary weapons, equipment and training.

The Japanese army, who had been prepared, lured the US army into ambush circles in the dense forest that were far away from the range of naval guns and inconvenient to air support. The field airports seized by the US army were severely damaged by the Japanese army and could not be restored to use.

Just as the US military was in a state of great difficulty, the Japanese army repeatedly detoured through bunker tunnels to surround the US military on three sides, constantly consuming the vitality of the US military. The arrogant MacArthur lowered his head helplessly and seriously showed to Washington in the report that it was not the Japanese army he underestimated before, but the cunning Japanese deceived the US intelligence system, and the land station players who were crying and shouting at the sky and the earth were attacking the trap.

Adocas Airport, located in the south of the island occupied by the US military, became a bloody place for the US Marine Corps! Adocas means wounds in local language.

However, both Japanese and American military leaders know that the final victory in Guadalam does not depend on the army, and the navy is crucial. Only when the navy wins a decisive victory, whoever can finally gain the control of the sea will be able to achieve the final victory.

The Soviet-German battlefield in Europe was in a state of calmness. The Soviet army continued to station troops to defend key cities and cooperated with the inside corps to fight in depth, looking for opportunities to take advantage of the German light troops to break through and break up, while the German army adopted a diagonal breakthrough. Using the tactic of surrounding points, it surrounded the key points without attacking, intending to concentrate its forces to find the enemy's mobile forces to fight a decisive battle.

Compared with bloody jungle battles in the Pacific and artillery fire in the European battlefield, the North African battlefield was under dark clouds. When the Indian and Japanese invaded, the British authorities judged that the German African legion would inevitably make strategic cooperation, but Rommel's African legion became dormant after several strengthenings. This unusual deployment made the British both start and scared.

The second attempt of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to Myanmar attracted the attention of the British and American authorities. However, the British and American attention to the Chinese Expeditionary Force was obviously not from a starting point. Churchill hoped that the Chinese could lead the disaster to the west and resolve the crisis in Impaldi, while Roosevelt hoped that the Chinese Expeditionary Force could have the combat effectiveness he hoped, so that China, as one of the important members of the allies, could perform his duties.

The bloody battle in Guadalone has caused the arrogant American generals to bow their heads and blood. Even Nimitz, who has always looked down on Asians, has to start paying attention to his opponents.

As a landlord after World War I, due to geographical location and location, the United States has experienced too long peace years. From soldiers to officers, they are experts in theory and champions. Let these passionate young people use their lives to defend the so-called world peace? Can the American people agree? In order to continue the war and gain support from the majority of people in the country, Roosevelt could only try every means to reduce casualties in the US military.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force, including its troops stationed in India, gave Roosevelt a hope. But China is now out of his way. Therefore, the United States must do its best to help China defeat Japan.

The day before yesterday, Marshall, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, was reminding him that if the Chinese Expeditionary Force failed to enter Myanmar for the second time, the Chongqing government in China would lose its last elite troops, which is likely to cause an essential reversal in China's war situation.

"Maybe it was a mistake to force Willie to lure the elite Chinese troops into Myanmar by himself?" Roosevelt sighed slightly. But when he pulled the ground bow, he no longer turned back. If China wants to revive, it must pay the price.

Song Yuhang was on the front line and was much more worried than Roosevelt. After all, the Chinese were fighting and the blood was also flowing. It was related to the survival of the nation-state. Song Yuhang had to be cautious again and again.

In the early morning, Brigadier General Korome, the deputy general of the US Military Advisory Group, arrived at the front line in person. He was over 190 cm tall. He had a brown-red haired American Brigadier was a very harsh man. Brigadier General Korome not only treated his subordinates and many Chinese officials and generals who deal with him, but also was almost very harsh on himself.

Korom congratulated the 54th for capturing the Huipo, but then he reminded Fang Tian with a cold face that his troops had been blocked by the Japanese army in front of the Huipo for three days, two days later than the scheduled plan. At this speed, the 54th Army could not reach the city of Tengchong in two weeks, so the 54th Army immediately attacked and advanced.

Brigadier General Korom's words were very rude! The translator on the side was weighing the translation with a bitter face.

Seeing that Brigadier General Korom's tone was not good, Fang Tian patiently listened to the translation. Although the translation tampered with some of the meanings of the words, the words sounded a little softer.

Korom's words stimulated Fang Tian, ​​who was worried about the huge casualties of the troops. Fang Tian frowned like an old cat with his tail, and his face turned red and furious: "Tell the United States, they know what a big deal. How many battles have they fought? Run away, I'm squeaking at me? Just the terrain and weapons, I'm not convinced and let them fight?"

Fang Tian pulled a Zhongzheng rifle from the hand of the guards on the side and threw it in front of Korom and continued: "What are the weapons they promised? What are you going to want? Do you want me to chew with your teeth?"

Seeing Fang Tian furious and threw a rifle in front of him, Korom looked at the already pale translator in confusion.

The translator looked at Fang Tian pitifully, and Fang Tian said angrily: "No word is allowed to be changed, translate it for me!"

Song Yuhang, who was standing beside him, saw the two of them being as strong as fire and the little translator was about to collapse in the middle, so he spoke in fluent English: "Brother General Korom, you are talking to a friendly lieutenant general of the Allied Army, no matter your identity! But please pay attention to your military rank and tone."

Korom was stunned at first. He had never seen the overly young lieutenant general in front of him. So he asked, "Who are you?"

Song Yuhang smiled slightly and said, "The First Mechanized Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Lieutenant General Song Yuhang!"

Korom nodded in surprise. Song Yuhang's name was already well-known. It was difficult for him to associate the handsome young man in front of him with the devil who ate hundreds of soldiers on the Wild Man Mountain as food.

Seeing that Korom was puzzled, Song Yuhang said in a deep voice: "Captain Fang's troops lack the necessary weapons and equipment to attack. He wanted to ask Mr. Brigadier General. Where are the weapons and equipment promised by the US side?"

Korom rubbed his hands awkwardly at Song Yuhang's questioning, hesitated for a moment and said: "Only by opening the Sino-Indian highway, the materials stockpiled in India will be transported back. Therefore, we must now actively attack the Japanese army in front of us to ease the situation in Impal and support the Allied forces to launch a counterattack in India."

Song Yuhang picked up the rifle on the ground and said leisurely: "For international interests, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has led the troops to Myanmar and the Japanese army to fight bloody battles, and the gap between the Chinese and Japanese armies in terms of weapons can only be achieved by the flesh and blood of Chinese soldiers!"

Korom gently patted Song Yuhang on the shoulder and said, "I admire your Chinese words very much! Fight out a bloody way!"

"Just draw cakes to satisfy your hunger!"

After a slight sigh, Song Yuhang said to Korom in a flash: "Please call on the US side to transport the promised weapons and materials to Kunming as soon as possible so as to fulfill the agreement reached by both of us."

Korom walked behind and said with a blue face: "Americans use supplies, we use their lives! A weak country's army is not strong! The soldiers are sad!"

After Fang Tian and his party left, Song Yuhang stood at the commanding heights of the ash slope and watched the troops passing through the overflow. He remembered that in history, it took nine days for the Chinese Expeditionary Force to clean up the Japanese positions outside Tengchong, and now the Japanese troops defending Tengchong have been strengthened. So how long it will take for the expeditionary force to clean up the Japanese positions around Tengchong, it is probably still unknown.

Take down Tengchong, flank detour, concentrate troops to capture Songshan, and then the road to Longling will be smooth. Even if the situation of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is opened, how can this situation be easily opened?

Although the casualties of the Expeditionary Force in the Battle of Huipo far exceeded those of the Japanese army, its brave and tenacious style and fierce firepower left a deep impression on the Japanese army!

He was in Tengchong City but was worried about another thing. That is, the front army actually sent him another commander, Kobayashi Nakaichi. The worst thing was that Kobayashi was actually a major general. He had always been in the General Staff Headquarters and had no actual experience in commanding the troops.

As soon as he saw Kobayashi looking at the army, Yasumi Hiroshige knew that Kobayashi must be a radical madman, and a madman who lacked experience and was top-heavy.

Yasumi Takashige could only sigh secretly, Commander Watanabe was not helping him share his worries, isn’t this causing trouble for him?

The fierce firepower and determination of attack by the Chinese army shook the confidence of Takashigeyasumi's previous division of troops to defend, so he decided to send his elite Black Wind Team to delay the Chinese army, and then concentrate his troops in the Zhai Public House on the top of Gaoligong Mountain, trying to guard the important passes at the pass and block the enemy outside Tengchong.
