Bright Sword: Heiyunzhai was closed at the beginning

Chapter 282 Withholding and strengthening, the battle begins (two-in-one ask for subscription and ask for monthly pass)

"What, what kind of trough line of defense is the southern expeditionary force group building?" General Lemon Barton was a little dizzy after hearing the report.

"Aren't they very sharp in attack? How did they turn into defense? Whose idea is this?"

General Simon Patton stood next to the map and re-observed the situation of the enemy and the enemy according to the report, feeling very confused.To be honest, he didn't understand the purpose of Gao Jianwu's move at all.

Well, in fact, everyone knows that Barton’s military skills are slightly equal to 0. If it is not for his good background, someone like him would not be able to take the post of commander-in-chief of the Allied Southeast Asia Command. In terms of real ability, it's not good to lead him a regiment, let alone take charge of one aspect.

Of course, General Barton would never admit it.

"John, if you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government. We should still respect the decisions made by these frontline generals. After all, we don't know what the frontline is like here." General Joe Steven, as always Support for Gao Jianwu's decision.

"By the way, we need to transport the logistics materials needed to organize the wave valley defense line to Dagon as soon as possible. With the sea transportation channel, our transportation cost has been greatly reduced and the speed has also been accelerated. This time we will supply the expeditionary force group It can be done a month in advance.”

Speaking of which, General Joe Stevens is just informing General Lembarton, because these aid materials are all from the beautiful country, and have nothing to do with Daiying here.In terms of the dispatch of these materials, General Joe Steven is the final decision maker.

Gao Jianwu didn't know that this time the port of Dagon was captured, and with the full support of General Joe Stevens, this new round of supplies for the beautiful country was quite amazing.

通过海上运输的方式直接运送了50架野马战斗机，准备投入到亚洲战场，另外还有100辆坦克以及50门155毫米榴弹炮，100门105毫米榴弹炮。

According to the original plan, half of these weapons and equipment should be sent to the north.Support the Allied troops on the northern front who are fighting against the 18th Division of the Little Devils, most of them are British and Indian troops who are like trash!
"John, you must help me this time. We really need this batch of supplies. Especially in the face of the current war, the supply of this batch of supplies is very important to us." When Gao Jianwu heard that the port had arrived A large number of weapons and ammunition.

Without saying a word, he went to Colonel Smith directly.

"Gao, half of these weapons belong to your troops. But the other half belong to the Allied troops fighting in the north. This is something that has been planned. I have no way to change it." Colonel Smith spread his hands and said. There is really nothing you can do about it.

"No, John, you can change. For our victory and to wipe out the little devils in Po Valley as soon as possible. With this batch of weapons, we can wipe out the little devils in Mawlamyine faster and cleaner!" Gao Jianwu wanted to get this The batch of weapons is also a fight.

Originally, he wanted to let the little devils attack, but if this batch of weapons were allocated to him, Gao Jianwu felt that the attack would be fine.

He has now expanded to an air force of nearly 100 pilots, and now there are only 30 fighters for training. If he can get all the 50 Mustang fighters, then he will achieve almost one aircraft per capita.

Even though the imitation of the Mustang fighter has already started in Jinyang Arsenal, the production of a fighter is more complicated than the production of a cannon.Gao Jianwu is able to squeeze wool, of course he hopes to squeeze more.

If we can finish the expeditionary force's Southeast Asian campaign, we can collect 100 Mustang fighter jets and go back.

Gao Jianwu has the confidence to go back and directly fight against the little devils in North China.With the technical advantage of the Mustang fighter, face the little devil's [-]-type fighter.Gao Jianwu felt that one fight was more than enough to beat them three times.

So with 100 Mustang fighters, Gao Jianwu felt that he could gain air superiority over North China.Under such circumstances, he used an attack group consisting of more than 200 tanks and more than 200 heavy artillery to launch a strong attack. The dozen or so scattered divisions in North China were really not enough for him to fight.

At that time, I am afraid that only the main force of the Kwantung Army will be able to compete with Gao Jianwu.

It's just that Da Mao's dozens of divisions in the Far East may not dare to move the main force of the Kwantung Army looking at the little devil. After all, Manchuria is now their foundation, and they already regard it as their own land.

"I can try and apply to General Steven, but I can't guarantee it." Colonel Smith was a little bit annoyed by Gao Jianwu, so he could only let go.

"John, you have to explain to General Steven that if our expeditionary force group gets these weapons, we will guarantee to wipe out all the little devils in Maulmein. At the same time, we will go north within a month and completely wipe out the 18th division of the little devils. Annihilate in northern Myanmar!" In order to fight for the ownership of these weapons, Gao Jianwu finally showed his pride.

In fact, if the little devils in Mawlamyine are wiped out, the southern part of the Burmese-British Territory will no longer have any military forces that can threaten the expeditionary army group. It is reasonable for Gao Jianwu to say that, as long as he sends two attack groups north to join the siege , the 18th division of the little devil will become a turtle in the urn, and there is nowhere to escape.

Sure enough, after hearing this guarantee, Colonel Smith's eyes lit up.

"If that's the case, I'll have to make a trip to Allied Command myself.

I believe General Steven will consider it carefully.After all, for General Steven, only defeating the little devil is the core goal. As for who owns these weapons and equipment, he doesn't care too much.

In other words, whoever can win the battle will give it to him. "After receiving Gao Jianwu's promise, Colonel Smith dared to go to the door to fight for it.

"Haha, in the Burmese-British territories, besides our expeditionary army group, who else can fight better than us? It seems that John can completely leave it to you.

I hope that when the next round of weapons is delivered to the mainland, four or five transport planes will detour to Jinyang to pick up the elite fighters we have selected, Dagon. These are our newly trained artillery and tank soldiers.I hope that these weapons will soon be able to join the ranks of our battlefield killing enemies. "

Gao Jianwu immediately hit the snake with the stick, ready to grab another wave of benefits.

Following these new soldiers, there are also some industrial products produced by the Jinyang factory and some engineering equipment customized by Gao Jianwu for mining. In particular, the second generation of Red Star Motors has come out, and now the tricycle has become a 2-wheel vehicle. The load capacity is also more than two tons.

Of course, considering the carrying space of the transport plane, Gao Jianwu did not ask them to transport the entire vehicle, but the important parts and components. Others such as the carriages were assembled locally for secondary production, and a kit of 50 vehicles was brought over. , as a test, and it is also the first export of the whole vehicle. The current price is 1 oceans, and the merchants in Nanyang can also accept it. I just don’t know if it can be sold after the batch is up. For the time being, Gao Jianwu can’t care about it. More, let Jinyang Heavy Industry Vehicle Branch send people to do these
Seeing that Gao Jianwu found something to sell, Colonel Smith also smiled wryly, but who made him so good at fighting? For the beautiful country, such a talent really can only make do with it.

You must know that if the 4 divisions of the little devils are thrown into the Pacific battlefield, the possible casualties for the US military will increase by at least 3 to [-].

And Gao Jianwu has actually killed such 4 divisions, and will soon kill the other 4 divisions.

Yes, in the eyes of Colonel Smith, the little devil's army in Mawlamyine is like a turtle in a urn, a meal on the plate.

Colonel Smith did not consider the situation of losing at all.

Colonel Smith's trip to the Allied Command, although there were a few twists and turns, under Steven's foothold, Colonel Smith achieved his goal and left all the weapons in Dagong to allow the expeditionary force to enter the group. use.

Mawlamyine's 4 small devils reorganized divisions and three brigades are under real pressure. The Allied Southeast Asia Command is also afraid that Gao Jianwu will not be able to withstand it. The situation in the British colonies would have the effect of collapse.

It is tantamount to giving up the dominant position that has been formed with great difficulty.It even poses a serious threat to the Allied forces in the north and the expeditionary force of the national army.You must know that this is the real main force of 10 little devils.

It has to be said that Gao Jianwu chose a good time. Under this kind of threat, no one can force these weapons to be transported to the north.Your excuse, Gao Jianwu, is also very good. Once he defeats the little devils in Mawlamyine, it is true that there will be no power to stop the Allied forces from eliminating the little devils on the battlefield of the Burmese and British territories.

Even if Gao Jianwu's expeditionary army group did not choose to go north for reinforcements, it would still shake the confidence of the little devils in the north.After all, they can't believe that they are not moving at all, and if they attack from the north and the south, they have no chance of victory, and they don't even have a chance to escape, so once the little devils in Mawlamyine are defeated, the little devils in the north He will definitely try to escape.

Lemon Barton also had a good plan. If this is the case, then it means that he has added a strong stroke to his military exploits.

So at this time, Mengbaton also hopes that Gao Jianwu can win this war more than ever.

Chu Yunfei, Ding Wei, Zhang Dabiao, Xu Shida, Kong Jie and others who attended the frontline headquarters watched Gao Jianwu really transport 50 Mustang fighter jets, 100 Sherman tanks and 50 M1 155s from the beautiful country. Millimeter howitzers, 100 M2A1 105mm howitzers were brought into the bag and pulled into the main force base of the expeditionary force group in Dagon.

They are all speechless. Gao Jianwu is a long-sleeved dancer. They think they can't learn at all. What they don't understand is why the people in the beautiful country are so easy to talk in front of Gao Jianwu. Others don't know, but Chu Yunfei knows. Well, even if the headmaster of the national government, the master of micromanagement, came forward, it would be extremely difficult to obtain so many weapons.

There used to be 30 Mustang fighter jets parked at the Dagon Airport. This time, in order to receive new ones, Lu Xingguo's flight team has already flown to the airports of Shanmana and Mandalay to make room.

With these 80 Mustang fighter jets, an air force assault group can now be formed, with 2 flying groups under its jurisdiction, and each flying group has 3 flying squadrons, each flying squadron has 12 fighters, plus the chief and deputy captain of the flying group , A full-fledged flight brigade has 38 fighters, and now two flying brigades are full-staffed, and the remaining four are used as trainers to train new recruits.

Lu Xingguo, the Commander of the Air Force Assault Group who took office, was full of ambition for a while. Now, apart from the Flying Tigers having more fighters than him in the country, he is the big brother of the Air Force!

Even under his command, more than half of the people need long-term training to form full combat effectiveness, but now there is no big problem for these newcomers to perform some simple air strike missions. .

Those who can also come to Dagon, all have flown on the plane.

新到的大炮又被编为新的5个重炮团，重炮六团和七团分别25门155毫米榴弹炮，重炮八团九团和十团则分别33门105榴弹炮。

The tank unit has also increased by 5 battalions, bringing the total number of tank battalions to 12.

It can be said that this wave can no longer be called a return of blood, but a big change of strength like a reborn!

Due to the concealment of the strategy, this time the reception and reorganization of troops were carried out in secret.

In the information obtained by the little devils in Maulmein, half of the weapons transported to Dagon were to be transported to the north. This is the previous information they received, and Gao Jianwu intercepted them. It's not quite clear yet.

Now that the expeditionary army group has a large number of troops, it is not easy to collect information. The artillery and tanks of the expeditionary army moving back and forth in Dagon make it impossible for the little devil spies to know how many weapons Gao Jianwu has received.

It's just that this round of replenishment of weapons and ammunition made Mao Damian's General Kimura feel even more nervous. They knew that once the production machines in the United States were fully activated to produce weapons and ammunition, the production capacity of this area was second to none in the world.

So the longer Gao Jianwu and the others wait, the more weapons and ammunition they may obtain, and of course the more difficult it will be for their attack.

So without struggling for a few days, General Kimura made a decision.

"We must immediately launch a full-scale offensive to strangle the expeditionary force group as much as possible in the southern part of the British Burmese territory. Our main force in Mawlamyine, the 54th and 55th Divisions, as well as the newly mobilized Second Guards Division and the The Fourth Division and the Ninth Flying Division are all dispatched to fight against the expeditionary army group!

Three days later, with the Heavy Artillery Brigade, the 3th Division, and the 54th Division as the vanguard, the 55th Flying Division attacked Pogu as an air cover force, and the [-]nd Guards Division and the [-]th Division served as strategic reserves on the Xidan River in the Pogu. Standby! "

After General Kimura made a decision, he stopped hesitating and began to dispatch troops to attack.

As soon as the little devil moved, Gao Jianwu immediately received an intelligence alert.

Seeing the little devil's new offensive deployment, Gao Jianwu couldn't help laughing. Although the little devil has suffered so many times, he has gained some memory, but not too much.This time, two reorganized divisions were used for direct attack, which can be regarded as progress. .

It's just that the Ninth Flying Division made Gao Jianwu pay more attention.After all, the air attack group of the expeditionary force has just been formed, and half of them are still novice pilots.So if you want them to compete with the little devil's Ninth Flying Division, the chances of winning are not too great.

Even if it is the fighters of the pilots of the little devils, the Type 97 fighters are still the main fighters. After all, 1-on-3 requires skilled ace-level pilots to do it.On Gao Jianwu's side, that is, Lu Xingguo and the others can do this.

Fortunately, Gao Jianwu was not facing the little devil alone.The Allied Forces had long held the superiority in the air. Facing a flying division, Gao Jianwu was not polite at all, and directly asked Colonel Smith to request air reinforcements from the Allied Southeast Asia Command.
Gao Jianwu would not do such a thing as being a hero by himself and causing great losses to the troops.So soon at Dagon's airport, the original 40 fighter planes became elite pilots of the Allied Forces, and at Shanmana Airport, Lu Xingguo and his 15 pilots who had experienced actual combat were waiting for them.

Although the number is smaller than that of the Little Devils Ninth Flying Division, but in terms of strength, Colonel Smith vowed to be much stronger than the Little Devils, because Colonel Smith himself is from the Air Force, and this time he also wants to go into battle with Lu Xingguo and the others Join the battle!
In the eyes of Colonel Smith, Lu Xingguo and the others are just a group of rookies, and they are still very worried without him. Only then did Gao Jianwu take a closer look at Colonel Smith's past, and suddenly discovered that this tool man who had been with him for a long time turned out to be When he was in the air force, he actually had the result of shooting down 6 fighter planes of the little devil.

Considering that Lu Xingguo and his group of elite pilots had a strong foundation in foreign languages, and it was not difficult to hear Colonel Smith's command clearly in the air, Gao Jianwu resolutely handed over the command of the air force to him.

For a long time, Colonel Smith himself did not disclose his occupation, making Gao Jianwu think that he was from the army. After all, Colonel Smith often has some unique insights in army command.For Gao Jianwu's command, he can now keep up with the train of thought.

This made Gao Jianwu think that he was originally from the army. Who knew that this kid was from the air force?

He is such a good tool man, how could Gao Jianwu let him go?It happened to allow him to train his air force to be more effective. After all, Lu Xingguo's ability was still a long way from the elite pilots in the beautiful country. With such a teacher, he must try his best to squeeze him out.

Battalion Commander Wei Guodong of the 1st Battalion of the First Attack Group defending the position on the west bank of the Xidan River Bridge was quite helpless. According to the deployment of the battle, their defense here was actually a feint. In fact, as long as the enemy launched an attack, they would Make a strategic retreat.

The most difficult thing for him is not how to block the enemy's attack.It's about how to minimize their own casualties during Jiren's attack. After all, their family was ordered to retreat in defeat.

The most important thing is how to resist the enemy's first round of artillery attack?When he was building fortifications, Wei Guodong couldn't help but feel a little headache when he thought that the enemy had a heavy artillery brigade.

You must know that the power of the 150mm howitzer cannot be blocked by simple fortifications. If you want to build fortifications that can block such heavy shells, it will take too much time and materials, and there will not be many built in a short period of time.

Without a large number of reinforced concrete bunkers, there is no way to block the attack of the 150mm howitzer.

It was a company commander under his command who gave him an idea.

"Battalion Commander, since we are not trying to block the enemy this time, when building fortifications, we can make some fortifications very conspicuous, a lot higher than the position, and directly exposed to the enemy's vision, but such Our soldiers do not go in to defend the fortifications, if the enemy attacks, they will attack these forts first."

Wei Guodong's eyes lit up when he heard this idea. If it was just for appearance, the construction speed and material consumption would be too small.So Wei Guodong didn't hesitate for a few seconds at all, and immediately made a decision to build the dark fort system in this way.

Because it was just building appearances, Wei Guodong built hundreds of fortifications like bunkers on the West Bank in just a few days. In order to be more realistic, Wei Guodong also placed "heavy machine guns" carved out of wood at the openings of these so-called "dark forts".

Since it is exactly the same size as the real heavy machine gun, it is also painted with the same color paint.No flaws can be seen even a few meters away, let alone a distance of hundreds of meters or thousands of meters across a river.

Each bunker has a trench to connect it.Whether observed from land or from the air, it can be seen that this is a well-defended position.

This patchwork of hundreds of "dark fortresses" and the intertwined firepower of at least a hundred heavy machine guns in the dark fortresses are simply a nightmare for the attacking side.

Therefore, in the first round of attack, the little devil must use artillery fire to destroy these bunker positions before sending infantry to attack.Obviously Wei Guodong would not invest his fighters in these places.

It's just that when the construction was just completed, Wei Guodong still put soldiers in and out of it, which seemed to be the positions they had to protect to the death.Sure enough, Wei Guodong's trick not only fooled the little devil, even Gao Jianwu didn't expect that his subordinates had such talents.

When Gao Jianwu came to inspect the positions for the first time, he didn't know what these were, and he was surprised at how fast the first battalion's positions were built.

Only after Wei Guodong whispered in his ear that these were all fakes, Gao Jianwu smiled wryly. This Ding Wei's subordinates are indeed talented people, and such talents may not be seen often in Zhang Dabiao's subordinates.

So Wei Guodong has since become famous in Gao Jianwu's eyes.

Originally, Gao Jianwu was also worried that such a tactical arrangement would cause greater casualties to the First Battalion, so he actually came to see if there was any way to reduce the casualties. Unexpectedly, Wei Guodong and the others came up with a more perfect method than he thought.

Three days passed in a flash, and General Gao Jian told Wei Guodong the exact time of the little devil's attack, allowing them to successfully leave the battlefield before the little devil's attack at zero hour.

Seeing the overwhelming shells submerge Wei Guodong and his positions, one after another bunkers were smashed in the explosion of shells, Wei Guodong broke out in a cold sweat.

According to the power of such an explosion, even if they really built a solid reinforced concrete bunker, it would be of no use. The huge shock wave was enough to kill the people inside the bunker.

These large-caliber blockbusters are indeed the kings of war.

Gao Jianwu is not surprised that the little devils choose one to attack. After all, they want to capture the Xidan River Bridge and the west bank position. Night is the best time. Due to the limited sightlines, the troops can be weakened by artillery fire at night possibility.

In this way, the dominant artillery of the expeditionary army group has much less room to play.

For normal people, such thinking is correct, but is Gao Jianwu a normal person?
