"Room!" the adjutant asked Wang Mazi: "Let's go now!"

"No!" Wang Mazi shook his head, and then said to the soldiers: "Brothers, bring more gasoline and food, and it's still far away to Myitkyina! Change the equipment you should change as much as possible. If you can't take it away... you will burn it all, don't leave anything for the Japanese!"

"Yes!" the soldiers responded, and then quickly started to go.

But after busy for a while, the soldiers were in a dilemma.

What they were embarrassed about was not lack of gasoline. On the contrary, the gasoline and supplies here were piled up like mountains, and there was no difficulty in not having equipment. The equipment here was everywhere, and there were American equipment. But this was exactly where they were embarrassed about... There were too many supplies, piles of pieces, just like hills, and there was no time to burn...

"Room!" The tank battalion commander reported to Wang Mazi: "There are too many supplies, and it will be a long time to burn it. The Japanese are looking closer. If they catch up with them... it will be not easy to get rid of it!"

The tank battalion commander's concern is right. This does not mean that the engineering regiment is afraid of the Japanese, but that the equipment in the engineering regiment, such as tanks, cars, armored vehicles, etc., are all heavily dependent on highways. In addition, the equipment in the original engineering regiment uses British ammunition, which cannot be recharged in Lashio at all, so fighting with the Japanese will make the engineering regiment difficult... Will it be better to use British or Chinese equipment at that time? Can temporary equipment be adapted? Will it affect combat effectiveness?!

Therefore, for the engineering regiment, the correct choice should be to use the high mobility of the mechanized troops to leave them far behind before the Japanese arrived in Lashio.

Wang Mazi looked at the mountains of materials around him... He was reluctant to let all these materials fall into the hands of the Japanese, which was equivalent to using the hard-earned money of the Chinese people to provide supplies to the Japanese devils.

In fact, Zhang Chi was reluctant to let it go. When the 56th Division in history interspersed in Lashio, it was actually unable to continue fighting due to insufficient supplies.

However, the piles of material seized in Lashio allowed them to intersperse into Yunnan, China with confidence, and even in the next two years they did not need to transport material from other places... Lashio's material was enough for them to use. They built one strong guarantee after another in western Yunnan through these materials, such as Songshan, and Tengchong.

These places are all in western Yunnan. The Japanese army originally wanted to cross the entire Myanmar to transport ammunition and grain to the western Yunnan towns, and these grains even had to be consumed while transporting them. It was very difficult to accumulate them.

But after the Japanese army had the materials seized by Lashio, everything became easier... Lashio's food and gasoline were not used up at all, and the Japanese army only needed to transport ammunition and weapons. So in just over a year, the Japanese army built unimaginable fortifications in various important places in western Yunnan. During China's second expedition, these fortifications were captured with dozens of times the number of casualties.

The most famous of these is the Battle of Songshan. ** used about two armies to fight a Japanese corps, with a force of nearly 30 to one. However, in the end, Songshan was captured at the cost of more than 7,000 casualties, and the Japanese army only suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

Therefore, these materials in Lashio are not just about the problems of food, gasoline and ammunition on the surface, but are directly related to whether the Japanese army will have greater war energy in western Yunnan and even in Myanmar in the next two years. These war energy will eventually be consumed with the lives and blood of the Chinese.

But...what can we do now?

It is indeed easy to set fire, just pour the gasoline and ignite it.

However, this fire did not burn so much material to ashes in a short while. It is conceivable that the Japanese army immediately extinguished the flames and rescued the material after they arrived in Lashio.

So it’s not right to leave, it’s not right not to leave, it’s really a bit embarrassing.

At this time, Zhang Chi noticed the water pipes connected to various places in Lashio, and saw a small hill behind Lashio along the direction of the water pipes, so Zhang Chi asked: "Where do these water pipes extend to?"

Everyone felt a little strange when they heard this. At this time, everyone was having a headache about how to deal with Lashio's material problems, but Zhang Chi still had the leisure to care about the problem of water pipes?

"The water source of Lashio comes from the mountain spring in the back mountain!" Meng Lezeng had stayed in Lashio for a while, so he was familiar with it. He explained: "The mountain spring is not far from the back mountain. Go up the water pipe. Turn a corner and there will be a reservoir, and the water pipe comes from there!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but nodded, which was similar to what he guessed.

"Room!" Looking at the water pipes, Zhang Chi said thoughtfully: "Maybe, we can kill the Japanese and get back at the back!"

"Kill me back?" Wang Mazi couldn't help but wonder: "Just rely on these water pipes?"

"Just rely on these water pipes!" Zhang Chi nodded: "Of course, there is also gasoline!"

As the captain of the Japanese Airborne Regiment, Ninei Ou has not been so proud for a long time.

You should know that since the Airborne Wing was established two years ago, there have been various "accidents". This accident either collided with a transport plane or fell from the sky. What made everyone even more shocked was that during training last year, a pilot misjudged the airborne field due to an illusion and actually airborne the airborne troops into the sea. The transport planes following behind also "airdropped" one after another... This accident directly caused dozens of outstanding soldiers to drown because they had no time to break free from the parachute.

Then, the Airborne Wing finally overcomes the technical difficulties with the help of the Germans and forms combat effectiveness, but after entering actual combat, they make mistakes again and again:

A month ago, on the Philippine battlefield, the airborne wing that had first attacked was still in the air and was injured by its own Zero fighter jets. The airborne troops on several transport planes died in a daze under their own guns before they even participated in the battle. The surviving airborne troops finally landed successfully on the ground, but the airborne point was only thirty meters away from the enemy's position, so they came to unload the parachute and were suppressed by the firepower of the defenders. The first airborne was soon in failure.

The second airborne battle was the airborne on Lashio a few days ago. When it flew over Lashio, it was foggy and there was no way to see the airborne point. He had no choice but to return... But when he returned, he encountered several reconnaissance planes that were looking for the wrong direction, so he collided and suffered dozens of casualties.

This time, we finally achieved results!
Chapter completed!
