In a residential area in the mountains, the Japanese 15th Division Command and the 31st Division Command were temporarily stationed there. Lieutenant General Shibata Utsunomi Shibata and Lieutenant General Hanoi Hirota were studying the next action in a room.

Because the special melee team was guarding the ridge and blocked all the two Japanese divisions, the Japanese army paid a heavy price, but they could not shake the special melee team's defense line, which made the two division commanders really lose confidence. The two division commanders met to study that if they could not break through the defending line, they would retreat to Wengjia, head to the direction of Jiling Temple, and cross the Qindun River from that area. The two divisions were scattered in the mountains and survived entirely by looting and could not be delayed. If they were delayed, the two divisions would definitely die without fighting.

There were also great problems when heading to the direction of Jiling Temple. First, it violated the military orders of the 15th Army Command. Secondly, it took hundreds of kilometers to go, and the team was unable to walk. Third, the direction of Jiling Temple was in war, and the Japanese 33rd Division was dragged in that area. Lieutenant General Hirota and Lieutenant General Shibata Yui knew that when heading to the direction of Jiling Temple, the two divisions would fight with the British army in the direction of Jiling Temple. Advance would have to fight, and retreat would have to fight. Advance would have to be bloody and retreated.

The commander of the 15th Division, Lieutenant General Shibata Toru and Lieutenant General Hanoi Hirotaro, the commander of the 31st Division, studied and decided to send a team to use a multi-point attack strategy against the enemy's positions while it was raining to see if they could find a breakthrough. If they could not find a breakthrough tonight, the two divisions would have to give up the idea of ​​crossing the Qindun River from the Homalin Ferry and risked their lives to the direction of Jiling Temple.

The 15th Division was led by Colonel Matsumura Hiroda, the 60th Regiment, and the 31st Division was led by Takashi Fukuzawa, and Colonel Fukuzawa, and Colonel Fukuzawa, and launched a sneak attack on the ridge in multiple ways. Once the gap was opened, it was determined to defend it. The army entered the mountains from the gap, crossed the mountains to the Hetao area of ​​the Qindun River, seized the Homalin Ferry, crossed the Qindun River, and then crossed the Qindun River for a while, and then took a rest and moved to the Minjs District for a long time.

The Japanese army's sneak attack began at 11 o'clock in the evening and naturally encountered a head-on attack from the Special Melee team. The offensives of many offensive points were defeated. However, at around 3 o'clock in the morning, the teams on the defensive position of more than 2,000 meters on the south side of the Special Melee team suddenly retreated.

The person responsible for attacking this area was Colonel Matsumura Hirodae, the captain of the 60th Regiment of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army. After climbing onto the position of the squad team, he could not believe the facts at first and thought he was dreaming because the fortifications were too strong, and no bodies of the officers and soldiers of the squad team were found in the fortifications, nor were there abandoned weapons and ammunition.

It is clearly an orderly evacuation!

This is the first time that the Japanese army has attacked the special melee team's position in more than ten days. After seizing this position, the Japanese army can cross the mountainous areas and enter the Hetao area. Although the captain of the 60th Regiment, Colonel Hirosa Matsumura, was puzzled, he still reported the good news to Lieutenant General Shibata Yuki, the commander of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, and listened to the next action instructions.

The commander of the Japanese 15th Division, Lieutenant General Shibata Toru, was overjoyed and quickly discussed with Lieutenant General Kawano Hirotaro, the commander of the 31st Division. Although the two division commanders were also confused, they mistakenly believed that the defenders must have been extremely tired after such a long battle. They were exhausted and could no longer fight. Under the strong attack of the Japanese army, they had to retreat.

The two Japanese division commanders felt like they were surviving and catching the straw. Because the environment they were facing was too sinister, their nerves were all very nervous and their bodies were very weak, the breadth and depth of their thinking were naturally limited. At this time, the two of them would only think as much as possible in terms of benefiting the Japanese army.

After discussion, the two division commanders unanimously decided to send more teams to control the position. The two division troops set out from the breakthrough, crossed the mountainous areas, headed to the Hetao area, and then seized the Huomalin Ferry.

At five o'clock in the morning, Zhang Junhao listened to Colonel Luo Zhong's report in the combat command room of the team. The Japanese army had fallen into the trap and the number was extremely large. The Japanese army was crossing the mountains and advancing towards the Hetao area.

Zhang Junhao asked Colonel Luo Zhong to inform Colonel Brandon, keep calm and let the Japanese army continue to flee to the Hetao area.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the rain became much lighter.

Colonel Luo Zhong reported that more than 200 Japanese vanguards appeared in the Hetao area.

Zhang Junhao instructed to continue surveillance.

Colonel Luce was very nervous, and beads of sweat were oozing out of his forehead.

Zhang Junhao looked at Colonel Les and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, even if the Japanese army escaped halfway, it would be a victory for us."

Colonel Les laughed and said, "The Hetao area is very vast. We do this to take the initiative to put the Japanese army on the Qindun River. If the Japanese army constructed fortifications, it would be too difficult for us to destroy the Japanese army."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "As long as the sky clears, the Air Force can come to bomb, and even if the Japanese army wants to retreat, there will be no chance. Even if the Air Force does not come to bomb, our forty mortars, two field artillery and grenade launchers equipped by the infantry detachment will be able to fight against the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will not be able to take advantage of it."

Xie Xinming came over and said with a smile: "I have a plan."

Zhang Junhao patted the seat beside him and Xie Xinming sat down.

Zhang Junhao looked at Xie Xinming's eyes and said with a smile: "Please speak."

Xie Xinming smiled and said: "I thought it would be better to use it here when we used the Japanese strategy to flood the south side of Mengguan."

Zhang Junhao had already planned the plan to flood the Japanese army and was deciding to adopt it. Xie Xinming proposed at this time that Zhang Junhao decided to give him the credit. He pretended to be overjoyed, slapped the table, and asked with a smile: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Xie Xinming laughed and said, "I thought you wouldn't let the Japanese army come, so I didn't say it."

Zhang Junhao said: "Our military deployment is decided, and the Japanese army will be sent over! And I said it when we first came here on the first day."

Xie Xinming touched his head and continued to smile silly.

Zhang Junhao looked at Xie Xinming and said, "It has been raining heavily recently, and all the small streams in the mountains have skyrocketed. It is difficult to block the streams."

Xie Xinming said: "I have studied it. If I can weave bamboo into cages, put soil in it, and push it into the stream, it will definitely block the stream. It's just that the project is very large, and it will take ten days and half a month to do this."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "The commando and a battalion of the Chindite Brigade will be done in a few days to intercept the streams?"

Xie Xinming smiled and said: "It is guaranteed to be completed within five days."

Colonel Luo Zhong came over after calling and nodded repeatedly after listening to Zhang Junhao and Xie Xinming's conversation.

Colonel Luo Zhong interrupted and said, "Captain, I think Captain Xie's plan can be implemented completely."

After Zhang Junhao told Colonel Les, Colonel Les gave a thumbs up, thinking it was a clever plan.

Zhang Junhao smiled at Xie Xinming and said, "This work will be done by your department and the same battalion as Chindit. You will block the stream for me within five days and study the work of blowing up the embankment and releasing water."

Xie Xinming quickly stood up and said yes loudly.

In the Hetao area, the Japanese army gathered more and more, but neither Jack Artillery First Detachment nor the First Infantry Detachment Chindit Battalion attacked the Japanese army. The swamps were all over the Hetao area, which was an unmanned area in the eyes of the Japanese army.

More than 200 Japanese soldiers entered the Hetao area and walked the path and quickly drove towards the Homalin Ferry.

The captain of the 124th regiment of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army, Takashi Fukuzawa and Colonel arranged teams to establish defensive positions on the mountain to protect the subsequent teams from entering the Hetao area safely.

Of course, it is not easy for both divisions of Japanese troops to cross the mountains and enter the Hetao area, and it cannot be completed in less than three days.

Now the Japanese army is simply crossing mountains, and heavy weapons are extremely difficult to carry, so some heavy weapons have to be thrown away.

The Japanese army was extremely tired and weak, and they were swaying when walking. Climbing mountains was a huge test for them. The Japanese army passed by, and the amount of materials abandoned along the way was very large.

In the evening, when the Japanese vanguard tried to occupy the highlands near the opposite bank of Qindun River in the direction of the Homalin Ferry, Zhang Junhao ordered the fire to open.

At this time, the Chindith Camp, who was staying at the ferry, had entered the mountains under the leadership of Xie Xinming and was cutting down bamboo.

The only one guarding the high ground was the First Infantry Detachment and the one battalion of Chindith.

Zhang Junhao ordered Jack's artillery to not fire the artillery for the time being, and he must show weakness in the early stage to attract more Japanese troops.

After Colonel Matsumura Hiroda, the captain of the 60th Regiment of the 15th Division, learned that there were unknown troops guarding the high ground near the ferry, he personally led more than 1,000 infantry to come to reinforce, and the fierce battle broke out.

The Japanese army gathered more and more, and the firepower of the special melee team gradually increased, and the Japanese army's repeated attacks were all repelled.
Chapter completed!
