After 20 "Super Air Fortress" bombers bombed this camp, the entire camp was in a mess. In the end, two squadrons of wild horse fighters rushed down and fired a few times, and more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers were destroyed.

While the Chinese Air Force bombed Lashio Airport, the remaining large number of Mustang fighters were divided into several squadrons, each with two, three Mustang fighter squadrons and dozens of aircraft launched a large-scale retaliatory bombing on the Japanese army stationed around Lashio, causing heavy losses to the Japanese army.

The planes at Lashio Airport were completely lost and air supremacy was firmly controlled by the Chinese Air Force. The planes of the Chinese Team could launch a large-scale attack on the Japanese army in Lashio in a very high-profile manner.

On the first day alone, the Japanese army in Lashio lost more than 30,000 people, and a large number of fortifications were destroyed. The next day, the Chinese Air Force bombed the Japanese army without any stopping, and the Japanese army in Lashio lost more than 20,000 people. After two days of retaliatory bombing, the Japanese army stationed in Lashio lost 50,000 to 60,000. Several Japanese division commanders were so angry that they jumped straight, but they had no choice but to face the powerful Chinese Air Force.

In order to ensure that Lashi is not lost, the Supreme Command of the Southeast Asian Japanese Army has issued an order to increase troops against Lashi again, and two Japanese field divisions are coming to Lashi urgently.

The Chinese side has learned that the Japanese army has made additional troops, but the Chinese side has not adjusted its combat plan because several large armies have entered designated positions.

Taking advantage of the past two days that the Japanese were busy dealing with the bombing, the 1st Army and the 2nd Army had entered the north of Laxu, less than 30 kilometers away from the central city of Laxu. They had begun to exchange fire with the Japanese.

The 13th Army moved to the northwest of Laxu, while the 15th Army moved to the northeast of Laxu. The 13th Army, the 15th Army, was only 30 to 40 kilometers away from the central urban area of ​​Laxu.

The Chinese team had a total of four armies, with more than 200,000 people, and almost completed the three-sided encirclement of Laxu. The 28th Army was inserted directly from the east side of Laxu according to the plan and moved to the south of Laxu to prevent the Japanese from breaking south.

At this time, the purpose of the Chinese team was very obvious. It was to eat the Japanese army in the entire Lashio area in one bite and start its first battle in Myanmar.

The intention of the Chinese team was also Zhang Yunfei's intention. In this battle, all these Japanese troops must be wiped out.

The Japanese Army Command in Southeast Asia may have noticed the intention of the Chinese team and reinforced the two Japanese field divisions of Lashio were marching northward in an emergency. They might be able to reach Lashio within one day.

Now, the 28th Army is also marching to its designated location. The 28th Army's mission is to block the Japanese reinforcements and advance northwards, and at the same time prevent the Japanese army from going south to break through.

Lashio is north.

Wang Haiyang, commander of the 1st Group Army, and Chen Erwa, commander of the 2nd Group Army, were on the same mountain. They were holding a telescope and looking ahead. There were dense sounds of gunfires in front of them. This was the fierce exchange of fire between the soldiers and the Japanese army.

There are many mountains around Lashi. Although the mountains are not high, they are also part of the mountainous area. The Japanese army stationed in Lashio has built a lot of fortifications based on the mountainous situation, especially the mountains on both sides of some highways, which are more focused on defense.

The Japanese army knew that the Chinese troops had a large number of trucks, and the march was basically motorized. If they left the highway, they were difficult to drive, so the Japanese army focused their defense on both sides of the highway, and set up defenses along several roads leading to Lashio, laying out one line after another.

Now, the 1st and 2nd Army, which were attacking from the north, are advancing along several highways and fighting fiercely with the Japanese army.

The main road leading to Lashio is naturally the Yunnan-Burma Road. In addition to the Yunnan-Burma Road, there are several dirt roads. These gravel-paved dirt roads can also be driven by trucks of the China Team. Many troops are also advancing towards Lashio along such dirt roads.

Wang Haiyang and Chen Erwa stood side by side, both of them were Zhang Yunfei's old subordinates. This time, the Central ** team sent troops to Southeast Asia, and Chang Yunfei sent two of them. It can be seen that Zhang Yunfei was determined to conquer the remaining Japanese devils in the entire Southeast Asia.

"Old Chen! Our troops are advancing smoothly. Today, we can advance at least 20 kilometers and conquer several lines of defense of the Japanese army."

Chen Erwa nodded, "Our Air Force bombed the Japanese army in Lashio area miserably. Many Japanese defense lines have suffered heavy losses. There is no problem in advancing 20 kilometers today."

"Yeah!" Wang Haiyang nodded, and then continued: "The Japanese may not have thought that we sent a few surprise troops to give up the highway and go straight to Lashio City along the mountainous area."

"Ha ha......"

The two looked at each other and immediately burst into laughter. At present, each unit is less than 30 kilometers away from Lashio City. They changed their previous combat style and sent several troops to give up the highway, walked south along the mountain road and penetrated directly into Lashio City.

The main force of the two major armies was still advancing along the highway and fighting fiercely with the Japanese army.

In the north of Lashi, nearly ten kilometers away from the Yunnan-Burma Highway, at this time, an army was heading south along the mountain road. This was a whole infantry regiment of soldiers, nearly two thousand soldiers, all fully armed, heading south toward the city of Lashi. The marching team stretched for three or four kilometers.

There are seven or eight such teams, each team is at least one group, and some even two groups act together.

The main force of the Japanese army was being attracted by the soldiers attacking from the front, and the Japanese army did not notice at all. The Chinese team had already headed south along the mountain road on a large scale.

The Japanese army stationed in Lashio did not have air reconnaissance without planes. If the Japanese army had reconnaissance planes hovering in this area, the Japanese army would definitely discover such a large-scale military operation.

In addition, the several Japanese commanders stationed in Lashio have become rigid in their minds. These commanders believe that the Chinese team still had the same style of play, first bombing by planes, and then advancing head-on along the highway under the cover of cannons and tanks. In the past, the Chinese team played, but this time there was a slight change.

This Chinese army that marched along the mountainous road has been marching for almost two hours and has been traveling south for ten kilometers. If it weren't for the mountain road, the soldiers were fully armed, and everyone's march was definitely more than this.

However, he successfully marched south for ten kilometers and was much closer to Lashou City. The faint sound of gunfire was already left behind by the soldiers. The soldiers knew that they had entered the depth of the Japanese defense zone.

A colonel leader who led the team was also slightly ahead of the middle of the team. After two hours of march, the colonel leader seemed full of energy and fatigue, and obviously in good health.

"Guardian! Send the order and rest on site for twenty minutes. At the same time, send a reconnaissance force to investigate and guard the front."

After receiving the order, the marching soldiers began to rest on the spot. Many soldiers were carrying mortars, ammunition boxes, machine guns and other guys. After two hours of marching, they were all mountain roads, and many soldiers were also a little tired.

The soldiers put down the guy in their hands, and many people sat down on the spot. Some soldiers even took out their own kettles and drank a few sips of water. Some soldiers with more addictions in cigarettes took out their own cigarettes and lit them, and took a few beautiful sips.

At the forefront of the team, a captain company commander was leading more than 100 soldiers to investigate, which was the direct reconnaissance company of this infantry regiment.

"Comrades! They are scattered in units of classes, with a two-kilometer investigation range."

Soon, small groups of soldiers scattered, not only some went to the front to investigate, but also some went to both sides to investigate.

The captain's company commander also personally led an infantry squad and went forward, about a little more than a kilometer ahead. The road had forked, one to the south and the other to the right, which obviously led to a valley next to it.

"Let's go, let's go to the right."

The captain's company commander just observed a little. There were many footprints in this area, and people cut down the branches and thatch on both sides. When they found this situation, they naturally had to take a look. If they could find the Japanese army, it would be a big gain.

The company commander, with more than a dozen soldiers, quietly followed this road. After walking about four or five hundred meters, everyone saw at least a dozen Japanese soldiers standing guard in front of him. The Japanese soldiers standing guard also set up two crooked machine guns.

Further away, the Japanese seemed to be more. A little further away, it seemed to be a basin in a valley. There seemed to be many tents on the basin, but there were trees blocking them, so I couldn't see clearly.

Could this be a front-line command center for the Japanese?

Thinking of this, the captain company commander immediately signaled everyone to keep quiet, and he took out his telescope and observed it quietly. After looking at it for a while, the captain company commander confirmed that this was a command center of the Japanese.

Because, just now, many Japanese soldiers came in and out of the tent, and there were Japanese soldiers standing guard outside each tent. They were undoubtedly the Japanese command center, but I don’t know what level of command center it was.

"Squad leader! Take two people to report to the regiment leader quickly. There is a situation here, and it is a Japanese command center."

"Old Zhao, Xiao Li, come with me." The squad leader quietly retreated with two soldiers, then trotted all the way to report to his regiment commander, and the captain company commander personally led the remaining soldiers to monitor from afar.

The Japanese in the distance were unaware of it.

This is a relatively large valley. Although the mountains on both sides are not high, the basin at the bottom of the valley is not small. It is not far from the front line, only less than ten kilometers away. It is a very good location and is very suitable for setting up a front line command.

In addition, on the other side of the valley, there is a dirt road connecting the Yunnan-Burma Highway several kilometers away. On that side, the Japanese deployed a lot of troops to guard the war. This side connects a desolate mountainous area, with very weak defensive power. It happened to be a leak by the soldiers and was easily discovered by the soldiers.
