It is an airborne force, and it is also a Japanese airborne force!

The only ones that will carry out airborne behind the Chinese defense line are the Japanese airborne troops.

After realizing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned... There is no need to say more about where the targets of those airborne troops were, of course, it was Lashio, the large rear of the Expeditionary Force.

When the 200th Division fought with the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, and the main force of the Fifth Army was concentrated in Mandalay to prepare for a battle with the Japanese army, suddenly a Japanese airborne landed near Lashio!

This is also the reason why Kawabian Masato's attack on Watanabe Masao was not angry at the attack of Tomochi... Kawabian Masato also has a killer weapon, which is the airborne troops that were formed two years ago and formed combat power with the help of the Germans.

What Zhang Chi and others didn't know was that the Japanese airborne troops had tried to airborne against Lashio two days ago, but that airborne was not successful. The reason was that there was a heavy fog over Lashio, and the Japanese army could not find the airborne target at all, so the transport plane could only circulate around Lashio and then return.

This airborne operation did exist in history, but because it was not implemented in the end, it was not recorded in many historical materials... So Zhang Chi didn't know.

If Zhang Chi knew about it, he might have used some method or means to notify the senior executives of the Expeditionary Force, but it seems too late now.

Later, when I recalled it, Zhang Chi felt that this was another joke on history.

Zhang Chi always thought that he had successfully changed the fate of the Expeditionary Force, but he didn't expect that in the end he was still happy. All his efforts seemed to be beaten into the form because of the appearance of the Japanese airborne troops... Lashio was still lost, and the Expeditionary Force would face the end of defeat and retreating to the mountain.

The news that the Japanese army carried out airborne on the rear of China quickly shocked Lin Wei, the commander of the Staff Corps in Lashio. He hurriedly sent several telegrams to the Expeditionary Force Command: "Brother Guangting, the safety of Lashio depends on my brother. I hope to rush to help at night regardless of everything."

(Note: Guangting is Du Yuming's word)

You should know that Lin Wei is Du Yuming's elder and superior, and he actually called Du Yuming "brother" in the telegram... You can imagine the urgent matters in this.

At this time, Du Yuming had no choice but to do anything, because the main force of the Fifth Army who could fight was concentrated in Mandalay for the so-called Battle of Mandalay. Mandalay was 300 kilometers (289 kilometers) away from Lashio, and it was obviously too late to rescue Lashio. Originally, as the only combat-capable new 38th Division in the Eastern Front Reserve, the new 38th Division that could not be used easily was transferred by Luo Zhuoying to Qiaokebadang in the name of taking the overall situation into consideration.

Facts also prove that the British army was full of nonsense. Chokebadang had no sign of the Japanese army at all, and there was only a bunch of British troops preparing to retreat.

The 200th Division fought hard with the 56th Japanese Division in Tangji. Although Du Yuming now has the command of a hundred thousand troops on the surface, he had no soldiers available for the danger of Lashio at this time.

Du Yuming looked at Luo Zhuoying and Stilwell, but both of them were stern and did not speak.

Du Yuming was so angry that all this could be said to be caused by these two people's random command, especially for the Qiaokeba... The British army's lie was that they first asked the 200th Division to be transferred to Qiaokeba as a missed fighter, and then transferred the New 38 to make Lashio have no troops to support. However, the two culprits, Stilwell and Luo Zhuoying, are now like those who are fine.

Du Yuming gritted his teeth and ignored Shi, Luo and the others, after finishing their military uniforms, walked to the sand table and asked the adjutant: "How many troops have the Japanese army airborne?"

"The first batch will be airborne more than 1,000 people!" The adjutant replied: "The second batch will be airborne more than 1,500 people, and there is expected that there will be another batch!"

"Yeah!" Du Yuming continued to ask with a blue face: "Where are they all airborne?"

The adjutant pointed to the two locations on the sand table and said, "Mengba and Dangyang, more than 50 kilometers south of Lashio, were respectively!"

Du Yuming couldn't help but be stunned: "Why is it so far?"

Although Du Yuming had no experience in commanding airborne troops to fight, he knew something from foreign war history: most of the airborne troops were directly airborne near the enemy's key areas and launched an attack.

The reason for this is very simple. The purpose of airborne is to attack surprises, which means to capture the necessary land before the enemy can react, otherwise the enemy will likely gather and surround the airborne troops. Moreover, the airborne troops themselves lack transportation equipment, making it difficult to quickly reach the target and complete the task, so they usually choose to airborne near the target, while the Japanese airborne point is fifty kilometers away from the target.

"Maybe it's because Lashio has been foggy these days!" The adjutant replied: "This prevents the Japanese army from airborne in the Lashio area, and the 56th Division, which was responsible for interspers, was blocked by Tangji, so he had to retreat and seek second place, and airborne on the two wings of Lashio to encircle Lashio!"

"Yes!" Du Yuming nodded.

This gave the expeditionary army a time and opportunity to rush to aid Lashio... Although the Japanese airborne troops were only more than fifty kilometers away from Lashio, they were walking forward without transportation, and some troops from the 6th Army and the 66th Army blocked the attack along the way. If the reinforcements from Mandalay were going quickly, they might be able to arrive at Lashio before the Japanese arrived.

Thinking of this, Du Yuming stopped hesitating and ordered: "Send an order to quickly rush to Lashio to help Lashio, and be sure to ensure the safety of Lashio!"

"yes!"

The adjutant was about to turn around and leave, but Du Yuming called back again.

"Is the 1st Engineer Regiment still in Tangji?" Du Yuming asked.

"Stay in Tangji!" the adjutant replied.

"Order the 1st Engineer Regiment to go to Lashio to reinforce!" Du Yuming ordered.

The 1st Engineer Regiment can also be said to be a mechanized unit. Even the tanks in the 1st Engineer Regiment are more advanced and faster than the t26 in the 22nd Division. Moreover, the 1st Engineer Regiment is still behind the Japanese airborne troops. They may first fight with the Japanese army and arrive at Lashio.

"Yes!" The adjutant responded and rushed to convey the order.

So the First Engineer Regiment received the order to reinforce Lashio. At that moment, Wang Mazi did not dare to hesitate and pulled the troops to take a tank, a car and an armored vehicle and set off.

Zhang Chi sat on an armored vehicle with a gun in her arms, letting her body shake with the rampage of the armored vehicle without saying a word.

He felt that he had made a mistake, that was that he had been trying to change history by influencing the expeditionary force's tactics and strategies, but every time he failed for one reason or another.

The reason should be that I failed to grasp the key points that could fundamentally change history... What I have been doing is nothing more than telling the senior executives of the Expeditionary Force how to fight, but in fact, the senior executives of the Expeditionary Force have always known how to fight this battle, such as Du Yuming, who knows it.

So, I was telling Du Yuming what he already knew, so history will happen like history.
Chapter completed!
