Chapter 142: Just a coalition flag! (Second update!) "Your Excellency, Colonel, the Sichuan Army has broken through the second line of defense..." The wing chief of staff, who had just returned from the forward position, came to the wing headquarters to report.  As a result, he saw the blood scabs on the foreheads of Yamazaki Nobu and Colonel, and he quickly asked with concern.  “Your Excellency, Colonel, are you injured?” “Baga, you losers, how did you protect His Majesty the Colonel?” As he said that, he turned to curse at the other people in the regiment headquarters. "It has nothing to do with them. A heavy artillery shell just landed here, and his face was scratched by the splashed stones." Yamazaki Nobu and Colonel shook his head and said. “Ah? Have all the heavy artillery of the Sichuan Army reached here?” the chief of staff asked with a surprised look on his face. "Well, it's not surprising that the American 155mm howitzer hit here." Xu understood what the military department meant. At this moment, Yamazaki Nobu and Colonel seemed very calm, as if they had seen through life and death, without any emotional fluctuations.  “How is the situation on the front line?” "The battle situation..." The chief of staff was about to say something when he was interrupted by an explosion.

　　Boom!  The house not far away shook several times under the bombardment of heavy artillery, and finally collapsed. “Your Excellency, Colonel, do you want to change positions?” The chief of staff looked at the houses that were bombed into ruins, and his eyelids twitched wildly. It always feels like the next cannonball will land here.  But Yamazaki Nobu and Colonel shook his head and said. “There is no safe position in the city now. The shell just now probably landed here accidentally. They are currently correcting the coordinates, and the target is still the fortifications in the city.” "It's a pity that there are no heavy artillery in the city. Otherwise, we would not be able to tolerate the Sichuan Army being so reckless."  The heavy artillery is all in Lashio, and Hsipaw is indeed a gathering place for wounded soldiers. There are not even a few mountain cannons.  It’s just that the mountain cannon at this time is not as effective as a few more mortars. “Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, how is the situation on the front line?” Yamazaki Nobu and Colonel asked again. “The situation is not good. The Sichuan Army has used a new type of tank, which is more advanced than the US military’s M3 tank. With its help, it has destroyed many peripheral fortifications and even directly smashed into the wall. It is unscrupulous.” “Several suicide squads have been organized on the front line, but they were all repulsed, and not a single enemy tank was destroyed.” "I'm afraid all the street battles we planned will come to nothing. The Sichuan Army Corps doesn't want to fight any street battles with us at all." The chief of staff's words were filled with a hint of loneliness.  When was the Imperial Army of Japan so defeated that it was unable to fight back?  It seems not at all! Even if they faced rice beasts, they would hold each other down and beat them. But now, the Sichuan Army, which only has a few thousand people, has beaten them to the point of collapse. “New tank? Is it an M4 tank?” Yamazaki Nobu and Colonel asked in confusion.  “M4 tank?”

“Well, Mizu’s new medium tank is competing against the Soviet-made T34 tank, which is several times stronger than our tank.” Although Yamazaki Nobu and Colonel’s words did not have any emotion, judging from their expressions, it was obvious that they were envious and jealous.  Can't they build a medium tank? No! They can be made, but most of their steel is eaten by the gold-eating behemoth of the navy. The remaining steel cannot meet the needs of the army, so they can only choose light tanks. Another point is that the infrastructure in the Far East is really bad, and light tanks are more suitable than medium tanks. “What should we do now?” Under such a steel behemoth, it is not wise to engage in positional warfare with the Sichuan Army. We can only use buildings to engage in street fighting with the opponent. But the Sichuan Army is not a fool, and it is obvious that it is unwilling to engage in street fighting.  Has been using heavy artillery to clear out houses in the city. "I have asked people to establish a new underground headquarters. Come with me to have a look." Listening to more and more explosions all around, Yamazaki Shin and Colonel said expressionlessly. 　　I then took the command knife and led several people towards the underground headquarters. 　　Boom! 　　Boom! 　　Boom!  Tens of meters away, the shell hit the ground again. “It’s almost unsafe here.” Yamazaki Nobu and Colonel glanced at the explosion in the distance and shook their heads. “Let’s go in.” A basement door was opened, and several people walked down the stairs.  … “Tuanzu, do you want to stop for a moment?” Meng Fanlian looked at the smoke-filled Hsipaw City in the distance and said with some distress. "Why stop? Keep blasting." Cun Yunsheng did not put down the telescope, but kept observing the situation in the city. “However, we only have less than half of the heavy artillery shells we carry.” Meng Fangliao said helplessly. “Don’t worry about the ammunition supply, it will be delivered soon.” Cun Yunsheng said nonchalantly.  Goldfinger has accumulated another batch of cannonballs in the past two days, which is enough to last for a few days. “When we capture Hsipaw, we will send a telegram to Stilwell and ask him to airdrop supplies. Don’t worry about ammunition or anything like that. The Americans will pay for it.” Goldfinger’s ammunition must be taken out in a reasonable manner, so it will naturally be given to the Americans. “Then just stop the bombardment and let the infantry take the field?” Meng Fanglia asked in confusion. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said. "The little devils are still fighting to the death. They obviously want to start a street fight with us. Can I be led by them?" “So you let the artillery battalion use heavy artillery to blow up the houses in the city? You are not afraid of accidentally injuring civilians?” Meng Fan glanced at the other party and said with some worry. "What kind of civilians are there? They are all servants. Besides, those in the Allied Forces won't care at all. As long as we can capture Hsipaw, they will just pretend they can't see the civilians." Cun Yunsheng looked indifferent. said.

"Well done, who did this shot?" Looking at the smoke rising in the distance, it was obviously a small arsenal of the Japanese army.  “It’s probably a blind cat that encountered a dead mouse.” Meng Fanliao said casually. "Okay, I won't hear two good words from your mouth." Cun Yunsheng sneered, and then asked again.  “Where are the people from Long Wenwen? Why haven’t they come yet?” "It should be soon, right? He called back not long ago and is already on his way, but he said in the telegram that he wanted to give you a surprise." Meng Fangliao scratched his head and said. "Surprise? I'm afraid it's not a shock, right?" Cun Yunsheng sneered. “Don’t tell me when the time comes, all the soldiers he recruits can become division commanders.” “Hiss, it’s really possible when you say that. I heard that they are doing very well recently and are prosperous.” Meng Fanlai felt more and more likely that it was possible. Only Cun Yunsheng is a bit screwed up, sir? A group of natives who put down their hoes and couldn’t stand in line? It is estimated that they can only bully the volunteers. Facing the Japanese army, I am afraid they will only get beaten. The only thing that gives him a headache is that he is probably planning to ask for weapons again.  In addition to the supplies promised by Stilwell, the weapons and equipment brought by Goldfinger can only equip one regiment a month, and most of them are half a regiment.  It seems like a lot, but it’s actually not much.  Because he has to maintain the arms business and sells at least half the regiment's equipment every month.  So there are not many weapons and equipment that can be saved, so I can only find ways to get more reimbursements from Stilwell.  But he is not a fool. It is impossible for him to give whatever he wants immediately and to verify it. If Long Wenwen really gets a division of troops, I'm afraid it won't be a surprise, but a shock.  Can’t feed you!   Can't make a living at all. "Where is Dong Dao? Has his reconnaissance battalion penetrated into the city? Find a way to kill the Japs' headquarters. In this case, the Japanese troops in the city will lose their unified command and fight independently. It will be much easier to annihilate them." Cun Yunsheng shook his head. He shook his head and looked at Meng Fan again. "I personally led a company of soldiers into the city. There should be news soon." Meng Fangliao said. “Well, let’s wait here for news from them and let the artillery battalion rest for a while. If there is no news after half an hour, continue bombardment.” Cun Yunsheng glanced at his watch and said. “At this time, the air force should take off.”  After saying that, he looked at the sky in the distance again and fell into deep thought.  … “Battal Commander, Battalion Commander, we haven’t found the Japanese headquarters.” After taking the outer position, Dong Dao, under Cun Yunsheng’s order, took a company of soldiers, put on Japanese military uniforms, and sneaked into the city.  The purpose is to find the Japanese military headquarters and carry out beheading operations.

 This is a skill that the reconnaissance battalion has recently practiced hard, penetrating behind enemy lines to fight. To prepare for this day, Dong Dao personally took the soldiers of the reconnaissance camp to learn Japanese.  Although it is not very standard and authentic, at least there is no problem with basic communication.  After listening to the report from his subordinates, Dong Dao's face showed no signs of fluctuation. It seemed that nothing could affect his mood. “In the entire city, this area should be the only one suitable for serving as a headquarters. It’s impossible not to have one.” Dong Dao murmured as he looked at the map in his hand.  “Are there any prisoners left?”  “It’s gone.” When the other soldiers heard this, they looked at each other.  Captives?  When will the Sichuan Army keep prisoners? Isn’t that a waste of food rations? "Go and capture some prisoners and ask them. Remember, take off your jaw first." Dong Dao warned again. "yes." Not long after, several soldiers came over escorting two little Japs with their jaws removed. “Where did Yamazaki Shin and Colonel go?” Dong Dao asked in unskilled Japanese.  The two Japanese soldiers looked at each other and shook their heads. Seeing this, Dong Dao didn't bother to talk nonsense to him.  The sword flashed! The head of one of the Japanese soldiers flew out, and the blood was directly sprinkled on the body of the Japanese soldiers next to him. Even though the Japanese soldiers were used to seeing life and death, they were frightened by this scene and subconsciously took a few steps back. “Tell me, where are you?” Dong Dao asked, still expressionless. "There." The Japanese soldier couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and pointed to the house not far away.  “Are you sure?” Dong Dao asked.  “Yeah, yeah.” The Japanese soldiers seemed frightened and nodded quickly. 　　唰!  White light kills everyone again!  The head of the Japanese soldier flew into the sky again!  And his widened eyes looked at the sky in confusion!  Seems like asking again! Why!

 Didn’t I say that? “Let’s go and take a look.” Dong Dao wiped the sword in his hand with the Japanese’s clothes and said to his subordinates. Even though he became a battalion commander, he still habitually carried this sword on his back.  In Cun Yunsheng’s words, this is a sense of security.  When he arrived at the headquarters, he found that the place was already empty. Dong Dao frowned slightly.  “Withdrawn?”  “The vigilance is so high.” “Battal Commander, the kid’s antenna is still there.” At this time, a soldier came over panting and said. Antenna?   Meaning that the little devil’s headquarters is still here and has not gone far. “Look for me more carefully, especially the secret doors.” Dong Dao ordered. "Yes." Dozens of scouts immediately spread out and started looking.  Ten minutes later, a soldier trotted over and said that they had found a basement that seemed to be a Japanese army headquarters. “Right here.” The soldier pointed to the area in front of him that was covered with mud.  But from the naked eye, it is absolutely impossible to tell that this is a basement. Even Dong Dao didn't notice anything different. “Are you sure?” Dong Dao asked. “I promise, this place may look like any other place, but in fact the soil here is new.”  “New soil?” Dong Dao looked at the other party in surprise. “Your ancestors weren’t tomb robbers, were they?” “The ancestors passed down one or two moves.” The warrior scratched his head and said with obvious embarrassment. have to! It really is!  Dong Dao was too lazy to dwell on this issue. “Use Tuanzuo’s new equipment for our flamethrower. Don’t you like being a mouse? I haven’t roasted a mouse for a long time, so I’ll give it a try.” With Dong Dao’s order, the hidden basement entrance was opened.  But the soldiers of the reconnaissance battalion did not enter immediately, but first threw a few grenades. 　　Boom! 　　Boom!

　　Boom! As bursts of explosions sounded, wailing sounds came from inside. “Go up!” Dong Dao said to the soldier carrying a flamethrower. "yes!"  As the trigger was pulled, a fire dragon instantly entered the basement.  The oxygen inside was consumed, and the Japanese soldiers inside felt dizzy instantly. Before they could react, they saw the fire dragon heading towards them.  The Japanese soldiers guarding the entrance of the cave instantly became burning people. The shrill wail echoed throughout the basement.  When attacking a basement like this, one must either ignore casualties and engage in hand-to-hand combat, or use flamethrowers and burn them all to death.  The former may be to obtain valuable information, but the latter is simply indifferent. And Cun Yunsheng's order to them was that they only wanted to die and not the others. That's why Dong Dao dared to use the flamethrower, otherwise, once the fire burned, nothing would be inside.  After another five minutes, I tried it with a torch. It was filled with oxygen again, and I dared to touch it. At this moment, the basement has been burned beyond recognition. Looking at everything in front of him, Dong Dao said with some regret.  “It’s a pity that so much valuable information has been lost.” “Send a telegram to the regiment and tell us that the Japanese military headquarters has been completely wiped out by us.” "yes." Cun Yunsheng received the telegram with a smile on his face. “Regiment leader, so much valuable information is gone, maybe there is still a regiment flag.” Meng Fangliao said with some distress. "I can't bear to sacrifice so many elites for just a flag. Besides, it's not a regiment flag with a high number. I don't like it. At least it's the one from the 18th Division." Cun Yunsheng Said nonchalantly.  Besides, this is an infiltration operation behind enemy lines. It is already very difficult to achieve the goal of beheading, so why should we be so harsh? What's more, there are still quite a lot of coalition flags in Myanmar. If this one is gone, there will still be that one. At this time, there were bursts of roaring sounds in the distant sky. finally come! A strange smile appeared on Cun Yunsheng's lips. I finished writing at noon and went to catch up on my sleep. I didn’t even eat lunch. I got up, ate some bread, drank a bottle of milk, and quickly coded. There were still two chapters to go. It would be late and I needed to eat some food. I was so hungry that I felt dizzy!
