Zhang Junhao stood on the ruins of the main fort and shouted to Wu Qiong: "Immediately send a report to the Chinese Army Command in India and General Wingate to report the good news. Please Lieutenant Colonel Zachary tell us the news of our victory to Colonel Les and Colonel Mairrell."

Wu Qiong stood up and shouted, then ran away.

Zhang Junhao told Lieutenant Colonel Cameron: "Lead the third infantry team to occupy the bridgehead to Dabaijia, blow up the bridge, build fortifications, and eliminate all Japanese troops who might cross the river and flee."

Lieutenant Colonel Cameron stood attentively and said yes.

Zhang Junhao told Lieutenant Colonel Yang Jianhu and Lieutenant Colonel Huang Yongjun: "The first and second infantry detachments immediately rushed to Mengguan Town."

Lieutenant Colonel Yang Jianhu and Lieutenant Colonel Huang Yongjun shouted yes.

Zhang Junhao said loudly to Colonel Brandon and Colonel Luo Zhong: "Notify the Kachin Army to clean up the battlefield! And assist the team to move to Mengguan Town. Jack's team artillery prepares for advancing towards Daro."

Colonel Brandon and Colonel Luo Zhong shouted yes.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Zhang Junhao rode a war horse and entered Mengguan Town with Colonel Zhang Boliang, Colonel Brandon, Colonel Luo Zhong, Lt. Col. Wu Qiong, Lt. Col. Xie Xinming, and Lt. Wang Jinxian. Li Li ran forward and behind to take photos.

First, I inspected the seized Japanese supplies yard. It was a sparse forest land with hundreds of acres of land. All the supplies were covered with canvas, and piles of supplies stood like small hills.

Not only does it contain a large amount of ammunition, but it also has a large amount of food and weapons.

A dozen trucks were parked on one side.

Zhang Junhao looked at the Japanese supplies yard with a smile on his face and said to everyone: "We have controlled the Japanese supplies. If the Japanese army can withstand the attack of the Sino-US coalition forces in the direction of Dalu and Dabai, they will not be able to withstand the guns and no bullets, cannons, tanks, and no oil, and food in their stomachs. They will starve to death and be trapped."

Everyone laughed.

Zhang Junhao said: "Immediately report to the Chinese army stationed in India and General Wingate on the situation of our occupation of Mengguan Town and the Japanese military's material yard."

Wu Qiong said yes loudly.

Zhang Junhao said: "The first and second infantry detachments advanced twenty miles towards Daro, constructed positions and defended against the Japanese army. The Kachin army assisted in digging trenches, and the Jack artillery assisted in defense. The commando was temporarily stationed in Mengguan Town."

Colonel Brandon and Colonel Luo Zhong shouted yes.

Zhang Junhao went to the former headquarters of the 18th Japanese Division.

Zhang Junhao sat down at the seat of the former commander of the 18th Japanese Division, Lieutenant General Tanaka Shin-yi, and raised his hand to pull off the miscellaneous items on the table. Colonel Zhang Boliang waited to sit down at the table.

Zhang Junhao glanced at everyone, said with a smile: "Occupying Mengguan, the Japanese pearl chain defense chain was cut off, and the Japanese army's retreat in the direction of Daluo and Dabai family and Magao were cut off. The remnants of the Japanese 55 and 56 registrars were blocked north of Mengguan."

Everyone said yes in unison.

Zhang Junhao stopped his smile and said, "Since Mengguan is so important to the Japanese army, the Japanese army will definitely fight for it with all their might. Although it took us a lot of energy to attack Mengguan, the real test for us is not to capture Mengguan, but to defend Mengguan."

Everyone nodded and said yes.

Zhang Junhao said: "There is a plain between Mengguan and Daluo, with a large number of farmland and relatively few trees, which facilitates the movement and combat of the large army."

Everyone nodded.

Zhang Junhao said: "After we occupied Mengguan, the troops had to be dispersed. It was easy to defeat the country, but it was difficult to defend the country. This is an objective rule. We only have a little force, but we have to defend the Japanese army's attacks in the three directions of Varuban, Dabaijia and Daluo. The key defense direction is of course the Japanese army's heavy weapon troops in the direction of Daluo. In order to prevent the Japanese army's attack in the direction of Daluo, we must learn how the Japanese army dug trenches and build trenches in the direction of Daluo. But we cannot just imitate them, and the time is too late. My idea is to dig an anti-tank trenches every 100 meters to block the attacks of the Japanese tanks and heavy weapons troops. If the river water can be poured into the trenches, it will definitely be able to block the Japanese army. But it is too late, and the project volume is too large. The trenches cannot be dug too wide."

When Zhang Junhao spoke, Li Li translated.

Colonel Brandon frowned and said, "General, I'll get a mouthful."

Zhang Junhao looked into Colonel Brandon's eyes and nodded, "Please speak."

Colonel Brandon said: "If the trenches are shallow and narrow, Japanese armored vehicles can easily cross them. Even if they are digging very wide, dozens of armored vehicles will drive over and force them to retreat to guard the trenches and make them fill the road for tanks to enter. I feel that this method is not feasible."

Zhang Junhao asked with a smile: "Tell me what you think."

Colonel Brandon sighed heavily and said, "Dig trenches and hold on to Mengguan to the death."

Zhang Junhao smiled and shook his head and said, "All our officers and soldiers are heroes. I can't bear to watch them die under the crushing of Japanese tanks."

Colonel Brandon sighed again and said, "Digging a trench to block the attack of Japanese tanks is definitely a good way, but we don't have enough time to dig it! If we can give us half a month, I think it is possible to dig two trenches, and it can even lure the water from the Dayuan River into the trench."

Everyone looked at Zhang Junhao and thought what Brandon said made sense.

Zhang Junhao smiled and shook his head and said, "It seems that the Colonel has really used his brain when he can think of luring the river into the trench."

Zhang Junhao suddenly sat upright, glanced at everyone, and said with a serious expression: "The Kachin army dug three anti-tank trenches, each one apart, each one a hundred meters long, each anti-tank trenches are four thousand meters long, with the road as the middle line, extending to both sides. The first two are two meters deep and three meters wide. On the Mengguan side, the side is low, and our side is tall. In fact, there is no need to dig two meters deep. Just dig out the dirt in the trenches and pile them on our side, and you can easily reach two meters high. Doing so will not only delay the advancement of Japanese tanks.

, it can also prevent Japanese tanks from firing artillery at us. Even if the Japanese tank climbs to the top, it is difficult to find the firing angle due to the difficulty of maintaining balance. The last one is two meters deep and five meters wide. The front end of the trench of the two infantry detachments is fifty meters away from the widest trench. It is very important to select an address. If explosives are buried in the last trench, our trench must be relatively high and can attack the Japanese army from a high point. We must have the geographical power to force the Japanese army to attack and we will be on the verge of downward."

Everyone listened attentively.

Zhang Junhao said: "Explosives were embedded at the bottom of the trench. When the Japanese infantry entered the trench, they detonated the explosives and killed all the Japanese infantry. If a tank entered, some of them would be blown away."

Everyone smiled and nodded.

Zhang Junhao said: "Then Japanese tanks gathered in the trenches and found that explosives were buried in the widest trenches. How could they dare to move forward willingly? The Japanese tanks stayed in the trenches, and because there were trenches and dams blocking the view, the difficulty of firing would inevitably increase. Our mortars pre-tuned the coordinates of the launch shells, which can increase the hit rate and destroy a considerable number of Japanese tanks.

Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Zhang Junhao said: "It's not OK to do this. We can also pre-install a large number of captured Japanese gasoline barrels and a large amount of firewood in the trenches of the infantry detachment. After the Japanese tanks crossed the last trench, they opened the gasoline barrels and evacuated through the trenches. Next, you should know what to do, right? I will only talk about the general details, and the details will be studied and implemented by you experts."

At this time, Stilwell came to Yubang. He was anxious about the failure of the war in the direction of Daluo, Dabai family and Magao. The Japanese army's defense was too tenacious. All the Sino-US coalition forces were equipped with chariot battalions and artillery regiments to crush the Japanese army with firepower, but they still could not defeat the Japanese army.

In the direction of Rakkai, the war between the British and Japanese troops was in a stalemate, and the troops and firepower were in absolute terms. The British troops were defeated by the Japanese troops and retreated step by step.

In the direction of Impal, the 15th Japanese Army was in an offensive tide and was trying to force cross the Qindun River. The British army all contracted, trying to use the mountains in the direction of Impal to withstand the Japanese attack.

In the direction of Kunming, although the Chinese Expeditionary Force crossed the Nujiang River, its progress was very slow. The Japanese army built positions into fortresses in all key areas, and it was extremely difficult to conquer one fortress and the other fortress.

When will the Lieduo Highway be completed? In order to support China's War of Resistance, this highway must be successfully built quickly.

If the Dalu and Dabai family cannot be captured immediately, the army will not be able to advance to the Menggong Valley before the rainy season arrives. We must speed up the progress while the 15th Japanese army attacks Impal. If Impal is lost, what will happen to the Sino-US coalition forces? If Impal can attack Myitkyina before Impal falls, everything will be easy. Of course, Impal must defend it, otherwise, if the Lieto Highway is built, it will become a dead end.

Stilwell sighed heavily, feeling anxious.

Wingate has several brigades of special operations forces, but it will take at least four or five months to be put on the battlefield.

At this moment, the staff officers rushed over with the telegram. Stilwell took the telegram and saw a powerful warm current that instantly surged to his forehead, tears gushed out from his eyes.

Stilwell's tight and thin face filled with a smile.

Mengguan was defeated by Zhang Junhao, and the Japanese army's retreat was cut off. Daluo, Dabai family and Magao Sansan became turtles in the jar.
Chapter completed!
