my bright sword career

Chapter 722 Whimsical
No wonder Du Yuming and Luo Zhuoying had headaches.

When the expedition entered Burma, there were about 5 to 6 troops in the 66th Army, 8th Army, [-]th Army, and the troops directly under the Minister’s Ministry. However, after more than half a year of high-intensity fighting, the troops suffered heavy casualties. Add up to less than [-] people.

In addition, there is now a counterattack, and the number of troops suddenly becomes tight.

Luo Zhuoying said helplessly: "The closest troops to Tonggu are nearly a hundred kilometers away, so it's not easy to support them."

Du Yuming looked at Gao Hongming, "Brother Gao, can you increase the air support to Tonggu to ease their pressure?"

Gao Hongming shook his head, "Mr. Du, it's not that I'm trying to shirk. It's that with the Japanese 55th Division attacking at all costs, nearly half of Tonggu City has fallen into the hands of the Japanese.

The positions of the enemy and the enemy are intertwined. You are among us and you are among us. It is difficult for the air force to distinguish. A random bomb may accidentally injure one of our own people. No matter how many planes are sent over now, it will not be effective. "

"Eh!"

Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming looked at each other and were dumbfounded. Airplanes are not omnipotent. The reason why the 55th Division went to the same ancient city at all costs to mix with the 200th Division was to avoid the plane bombing of the expeditionary force.

When the Japanese army had air superiority in the past, in order to avoid bombing or reduce losses, the Chinese army usually took the initiative to initiate hand-to-hand combat against the Japanese army or confuse the two forces so that the Japanese army would not dare to bomb the ground casually.

But I didn't expect Feng Shui to take turns, and now it's the turn of the Japanese to play this trick.

"report!"

A staff officer hurried over: "Sir, the 200th Division sent an urgent report. The 55th Division mobilized dozens of field artillery to launch a shelling of the center of Tonggu, and at the same time added a regiment to launch a fierce attack.

Commander Gao claimed that the 200th Division is currently extremely short of troops and ammunition. If there is no reinforcements, they... they may not be able to hold on. "

There was silence in the combat hall. The 200th Division had gone through several bloody battles with the Japanese army when Commander Dai Anlan was there. In addition, during this period of time, it had stuck to Tonggu, so its troops were even smaller. Now that the 55th Division is attacking so fiercely, it can hold out. It has not been easy until now.

If there is no more reinforcements, the entire army will be wiped out in two or three days.

Du Yuming punched the table, and said in a rough voice: "Pass my order, report to Liao Yaoxiang and Gan Lichu immediately, if you can't break through the blockade of the 56th Division within two days, military law will be followed!"

"Wait a minute."

Gao Hongming quickly stopped him.

"Mr. Du, the new 22nd Division and the Sixth Army are fighting fiercely with the 56th Division. Both sides are trying their best. If your telegram passes, the current 22nd Division and the Sixth Army will rush to attack. If it leads to a big defeat, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Luo Zhuoying also stopped and said, "That's right, Guangting, Brother Gao is right.

There is a saying in the art of war, the Lord should not be angry and start a division, and the general should not be angry and go to war. Our decision is related to the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the expeditionary army, so we must not be arrogant! "

"Sorry, I was too excited."

Du Yuming also regained his senses and let out a long breath, "But how can I bear to watch the brothers of the 200th division being eaten by the Japanese army? If the 200th division is really gone, what face will I have to see Yan Gong (Dai Anlan) in a hundred years? Brother."

Seeing Du Yuming's painful appearance, Luo Zhuoying and Gao Hongming also felt very uncomfortable.

The 200th Division belongs to the Fifth Army and is the number one main force of the Fifth Army. As the deputy commander of the expeditionary force and the commander of the Fifth Army, Du Yuming naturally has feelings for the 200th Division. Now seeing that the 200th Division has been wiped out It's no wonder he wasn't in a hurry.

Seeing Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming frowning tightly while the other was holding back their anger, Gao Hongming felt uncomfortable, but now he was also powerless.

Not to mention that he doesn't have any extra troops at hand now, even if he can't make it to Tonggu for a while, unless they can fly.

"and many more……"

Gao Hongming suddenly thought of something, stood up abruptly, accidentally bumped into the table, made a bang, and even knocked the teacup on the table to the ground, which also shocked Luo and Du.

"Brother Gao, are you alright?" Du Yuming couldn't help asking Gao Hongming who stood up suddenly.

"It's okay, I figured out a way."

Gao Hongming forcibly suppressed his excitement and said, "Since we can't reinforce the 200th Division from land, we can go there from the sky."

"From the sky."

Du Yuming was a little puzzled, "Brother Gao, do you want to use an airplane to transport troops there? But don't forget, Tonggu doesn't have an airport. Could it be that you want to drop paratroopers by air? But we don't have paratroopers either."

"That's right, Brother Gao." Luo Zhuoying also said: "The paratrooper is not a unit that we can play well. It requires a lot of funds, a lot of training, sufficient supplies and excellent equipment to cultivate a qualified team. paratroopers."

Both Luo and Du are battle-tested generals. Although they have never commanded paratroopers, they are no strangers to this unit. When they heard Gao Hongming say that they flew over from the sky, they immediately thought of paratroopers as a unit.

Gao Hongming shook his head: "Who said we are going to airdrop paratroopers, we have to use airplanes to transport the troops there!"

Du Yuming looked at Gao Hongming in astonishment: "Send the troops there? How is this possible? Brother Gao, as I said just now, there is no airport in Tonggu!"

A gleam of determination flashed in Gao Hongming's eyes: "If there is no airport, we will temporarily build one."

"Bosses, I have a plan now, let's talk it out and discuss it, see if it works..."

…………

Two hours later, the 200th Division Headquarters

Just as Gao Jiwen put down the phone, he was about to drink some water to moisten his throat, which was about to smoke after talking for a whole day.

Before he could pick up the cup, he saw the communications staff rushing over.

"Division seat, the headquarters is calling."

Gao Jiwen put down his cup, took the telegram and looked at it, his face immediately became weird.

He looked up at the staff officer, "Has this telegram been confirmed?"

"I've confirmed it, sir, it was indeed sent by the headquarters, and there are signatures of Chief Luo and Chief Du on it."

"They... can this work?"

Looking carefully at the telegram in his hand again, Gao Jiwen really couldn't figure it out. Is this too child's play? Can it work?

But he changed his mind, it was related to the life and death of the 200th division, even if it was outrageous, he had to try it, if it worked, wouldn't the 200th division be saved?
Thinking of this, he immediately said to his staff: "Call Liu Shuren, the commander of the engineering regiment, to me immediately!"

"Yes!"
