    > Chapter 1,212 Catching the tail of the Japanese army

    The heavy fog in the early morning of October 10th was beyond everyone's expectations. Zheng Yong was right. Is the meteorological department just for a living?  There was originally a battlefield weather forecast. There would be light fog in the early morning, which would have little impact on visibility. After the sun rises, the fog will dissipate and will not affect the progress of the battle. Judging from the current situation, the fog will dissipate before noon.  No.

    Tang Qiuli put down the page in his hand and smiled bitterly. He did not intend to punish him, and he would not even question the meteorological department. Weather forecasting is inherently difficult to be accurate. When dealing with God, it is too difficult to accurately predict the pulse.  It is said that with the technology and instruments of this era, even when I was in later generations, I would not dare to say that the weather forecast was 100% accurate.

    He picked up the phone and said, "Changfeng? Immediately dispatch some tanks to the front line of Mogok for reconnaissance. If the Japanese army is found, do not fight, report the situation immediately, and then quickly break away from the Japanese army. Otherwise, Zheng Yong's artillery shells will  , it will fall on you." This was a last resort move. He and Zheng Yong agreed that Ito would never let go of such a good opportunity. The key question is, how many troops will the Japanese army send out?  Where to go depends on the lethality of artillery fire.

    At the Ribo Grand Canyon, in a mountaintop observation post on the Japanese defense line, General Ito Genzaburo put down his telescope and gently closed his eyes, "Bless Amaterasu and the Emperor, and the troops dispatched to Southeast Asia should not die. God has sent such a favorable situation."  The weather is really a great blessing for the empire and a blessing for Japan. In such weather, all the heavy weapons of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's army are useless. "

    "Especially the aviation force of the ** Division that poses the greatest threat to the Imperial Army. By the time conditions allow for liftoff, the Imperial Army's troops will have been mixed with the ** Division's troops. Without the greatest threat, the casualties of the Imperial Army's troops will be reduced.  Many, in terms of individual soldier quality and combat effectiveness, the samurai of the Japanese Empire will not be inferior to the Chinese soldiers. Tang Qiuli, let my soldiers and your soldiers have a real military showdown? "

    Although what Ito saw was also a vast expanse of white fog, he had a clear battle plan in his mind. Ito could roughly judge how far the division had advanced. In order to achieve the suddenness of launching the battle, Ito  All assault divisions were even ordered to maintain radio silence until the battle began.

    Lieutenant General Takemura Yamaichi, the chief of staff behind Ito, was filled with discomfort when he saw Ito's hypocritical attitude of looking forward to his ambition and trying his best to conceal it. He led a group of staff members to light lamps, boil oil, and hang everything.  After two days of brainstorming, he came up with an assault plan. When Takemura proudly presented the plan to Ito, his eyes were full of glory.

    The most meaningful strategic decisive battle of the Imperial Japanese Army has begun in his own hands. Although Ito is the supreme commander, he still has to act according to his own plan. He cannot take all the credit for winning this battle.  Yes, at least half of it, right?

    But with a few words from Commander Ito, Takemura's enthusiasm instantly turned into ice-cold water. It was like pouring a bucket of cold water into a red-hot iron pot. Not only did it make a "gurgle" sound, but also  Fine lines were cracked, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Takemura. Before that, I have ordered the troops to start almost as planned. Oh, by the way, let me inform you that the six divisions of the Imperial Army will be deployed in five hours."  We have already captured Mogok before." After saying that, without even glancing at the plan, he turned around and issued a series of orders to other staff officers.

    Treating Wucun like a fool, he was left in the command post. The blood on Wucun's forehead surged up, his temples jumped, and his face turned the color of pig liver. "Damn it, you don't treat people like this, think of me as a human being."  Are you a fool? Give me a piece of work. You have already made arrangements. Are you afraid that I will get in the way or do you want to take credit? "

    Takecun really wanted to shoot this cunning old bastard, but he didn't dare. At this time, Takecun realized that no matter how powerful he was, he was not the supreme commander of the Southeast Asia Expedition Force, but just a subordinate chief of staff. This kind of talk  The influence of Han Tianxian and the power in hand cannot be replaced by someone with great background. From this moment on, Takemura has secretly gritted his teeth and must bring down the old guy Ito.

    At 4:40 in the morning, the heavy fog showed no sign of dissipating or weakening. Meng Xiaozhu was still staring tirelessly at the artillery mirror. Counting it all, he had not closed his eyes for two nights and one day, and his head was buzzing.  , the eyelids were like lead weights, stuck together. An assistant said: "Team leader, you go and get some sleep. We are watching. With this damn weather, we can't see anything. Don't waste your time."  Stronger!"

    Meng Xiaozhu shook his head and said: "I have been here for two days, not less than this moment. Besides, the more the weather is like this, the more likely the Japs are to take action." The two assistants wanted to persuade, but Meng Xiaozhu suddenly waved his hand to stop the assistants.  say?, he heard an unnatural sound. It was a sound that shouldn't have appeared in this foggy morning. It was low, messy, and vague. If you didn't distinguish it carefully, there was nothing. In other words, he heard  The sound you hear should be an intuition.

    Meng Xiaozhu asked the two assistants, "Did you hear any sounds?" The two assistants shook their heads. In their ears, there was nothing but boring silence. Meng Xiaozhu ordered, "You two hold on where you are, I will go down the mountain."  Go and observe. Remember, without my order, even if a cannonball hits your head, you cannot leave your post. We are the eyes of the cannon. "

    In a flash, Meng Xiaozhu disappeared into the vast white mist. The two assistants suddenly felt very lonely and couldn't help but lean together. They could hear each other's violent heartbeat. They walked through a dense bush and groped forward for four steps.  More than 100 meters away, the trees in front are not particularly dense and you can walk straight through.

    Suddenly, a looming shadow passed by him. Meng Xiaozhu's whole body tensed up, and his hair almost stood up. There were figures constantly passing by him, like ghosts in the mist. He widened his eyes and couldn't see clearly what it was.  People, these people couldn't see him clearly, "Hayagu, Hayagu!" A low and fierce voice sounded in the heavy fog.

    The person shouting obviously tried his best to lower his voice. Meng Xiaozhu's heart started to beat wildly, "It's the Japanese. I accidentally got into the enemy's crowd." He fought against the Japanese from North China to Burma many times.  Yes, he can still understand a few simple Japanese sentences.

    Taking advantage of the fact that no Japanese soldiers were paying attention to him, Meng Xiaozhu returned along the original route. In order to avoid losing his way, he left road signs along the way. This is the difference between veterans and recruits. Meng Xiaozhu's sudden appearance made his nervous assistant, who was shivering all over,  Startled, she instinctively pointed the gun at him, "Team leader, are you back?" the two assistants asked in surprise.

    Meng Xiaozhu didn't have time to answer their words. He turned on the intercom with a quick movement and called in a low voice, "Call the artillery group, call the artillery group. I am Meng Xiaozhu, leader of the first observation group of the artillery group. I am within the observation range of my group.  A large number of Japanese troops were found, and the exact number was unable to be reported due to the fog. The Japanese troops were passing through the dense forest.

    "What, your observation post discovered the Japs, what's the location? Okay, the observer named Meng Xiaozhu has made the first contribution. Your artillery group will immediately prepare for the bombardment. I will report it to the division commander immediately," Zheng Yong was so excited that he  With a fist, finding traces of the little devil in such a heavy fog is like finding a needle in a haystack.

    "Division Commander? I am Zheng Yong. The third artillery group observation post reported that Japanese attacking troops were found, but the number cannot be determined. Division Commander, I have an idea. Based on this observation point, expand left and right to carry out predetermined artillery fire coverage.  Please approve!" Zheng Yong's loud voice made Tang Qiuli frown over the phone and had to take the receiver away.

    Tang Qiuli thought about it and said: "Zheng Yong, judging from the situation you reported, the Japanese army cannot be just like this. Once they fight, wouldn't the target be exposed? There must be Japanese attacking troops that we have not discovered.  Meng Mi's tank troops, don't wait for them. I approve your plan. Remember, it must achieve the expected results. Also, the soldier who first discovered the Japanese troops, your artillery troops, must take credit for him!  "

    Putting down the phone, Tang Qiuli said to Liu Xinlan, who was standing by: "Immediately order the tank reconnaissance unit that came out of Mengmi to withdraw to the original defense area. Also, the temperature in Myanmar's autumn is not higher than usual, especially in foggy weather. I am here  There is a military coat, please put it on." After saying that, he picked up the coat without any explanation and put it on Liu Xinlan's slim body.

    Liu Xinlan's cheeks were flushed by Tang Qiuli's sudden move. A manly aura surrounded her instantly. She had underestimated the temperature in Myanmar's autumn. It was indeed a bit cold. She put on a coat and immediately drove away the autumn feeling.  When she arrived at the command department, Liu Xinlan turned back and glanced at Tang Qiuli, feeling a strange feeling in her heart.

    Zheng Yong put down the division commander's phone and called the third artillery group again. He said to the artillery group commander, "Get me through the observer named Meng Xiaozhu immediately. I want to speak to him directly."

    After Meng Xiaozhu reported the situation, his mission had been completed. However, he had to stay put until he received the order. The green light of the walkie-talkie suddenly flashed, and he immediately picked up the earphones.

    Zheng Yong's usual loud voice struck Meng Xiaozhu's eardrums, "I am the artillery commander Zheng Yong, Meng Xiaozhu, remember the following orders. You, the observation group, stay where you are. The entire artillery group will conduct blind operations based on you."  Shoot, you are an old artilleryman, do you know what this means? Stay firmly there and correct the target for the artillery group. Remember, the first shell is fired under your command. "

    Meng Xiaozhu felt a little dizzy, "?"My God, this is the number one brother in the entire artillery unit of the ** Division. I never dreamed that I could talk directly to the artillery boss." Meng Xiaozhu, who had sobered up a little, knew better what it meant to accept this order.
