General Wei Lihuang, commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Brigadier General Dorn, Supreme Advisor of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, General Feng Yizhong, Chief of the Chongqing Operations Staff, General Song Xilian, Commander-in-Chief of the 11th Army, and General Huo Kuizhang, Commander-in-Chief of the 8th Army, Commander He Shaozhou pointed to the map to General Wei Lihuang, Brigadier Dorn, General Feng Yizhong, General Song Xilian and General Huo Kuizhang introduced in detail the situation of Zhang Junhao attacking the Bing Ding Geng Highlands in the evening and capturing these three highlands.

General Wei Lihuang took a breath and said, "Zhang Junhao is indeed a god of war! Before he came, we would have to suffer thousands of casualties from any Japanese fortress group. He captured three Japanese fortress groups in one night, but there were no casualties from any officers and soldiers. It was a miracle!"

General He Shaozhou said: "Today, everyone rested during the day. Zhang Junhao will launch an attack on the high grounds of A, B and Wu at night, and the other troops will support the feint attack."

General Wei Lihuang nodded and said, "I will stay in the military headquarters tonight. I want to see how Zhang Junhao captured the three highlands A, B and E."

He Shaozhou Army was shocked and said, "Commander, it's too dangerous for you to spend the night here."

General Wei Lihuang smiled and said, "Why am I afraid of with you? I decided to spend the night here tonight."

General Wei Lihuang said to General Song Xilian: "In the afternoon, you will go directly to Longling to coordinate and command the war in Longling."

General Song Xilian stood attentively and said yes loudly.

General Wei Lihuang said to General Huo Kuizhang: "In the afternoon, you will return to the Army Command to coordinate and command the war in this area."

General Huo Kuizhang stood at the verge of attention and said yes.

General He Shaozhou said: "Just just now, six Japanese planes flew over and threw a large amount of supplies into the Huanglong Shuijing area."

General Wei Lihuang sighed and said, "If we had known that the Japanese army would come to airdrop supplies, we should have asked General Leonard to send the air force to intercept it in advance."

General He Shaozhou said: "The anti-aircraft artillery troops must be prepared to strike Japanese aircraft."

General Wei Lihuang nodded and said, "We have established three anti-aircraft artillery positions in Gunlongpo and Zhuzipo. However, the number of anti-aircraft artillery is too small, so you must remind all departments to do a good job in air defense."

General He Shaozhou nodded and said yes.

General Wei Lihuang looked at the map and said, "The first priority of the 8th Army is to eliminate the enemy in Gulonglongpo. Only by taking Gulonglongpo can we launch an attack on Dazhai and Dayakou. We cannot be anxious to achieve success. We should clarify the enemy situation and destroy the infantry and artillery one by one; we should work day and night to work on the trench, and ants gnaw bones."

General He Shaozhou shouted yes.

General He Shaozhou thought about it and said, "The commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force transferred the 1st mountain artillery company of the 71st army to Pingjia. I am against it. The number of mountain artillery here is too small."

General Wei Lihuang sighed and said, "You need mountain cannons here, and Pingjia is also in urgent need. This is a forced move."

General He Shaozhou said: "On the 10th, I only borrowed 20,000 bullets and 1,379 shells."

General Wei Lihuang looked at General He Shaozhou's eyes and said, "You should know that the number of bullets and artillery shells in our expeditionary army is quite abundant. It would be good if each soldier in other troops can get ten bullets. Many teams even have very few artillery numbers. The firepower of one division is far weaker than that of a Japanese army. If all our teams have sufficient ammunition, how could the war be like this? I have served as deputy commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone and commander-in-chief of the front enemy, commander-in-chief of the First War Zone and chairman of the Hebei-Chahar War Zone. I have a very good understanding of the situation of the war in the northwest and Central Plains. All teams are seriously lacking in ammunition. Our expeditionary army has US aid, and the situation is much better than that of the various divisions in other regions."

General Wei Lihuang has a very high status and is very experienced. He Yingqin, the commander-in-chief of General He Shaozhou, is a big shot of the same generation. He Shaozhou was very moved by being able to talk to General He Shaozhou with such an approachable attitude. General Wei Lihuang said this, how could he dare to complain again?

After a simple lunch, General Song Xilian, Commander-in-Chief of the 11th Army, and General Huo Kuizhang, Commander-in-Chief of the 20th Army, left the 8th Army headquarters. General Wei Lihuang, Brigadier General Dorn, the highest adviser of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and General Feng Yizhong, accompanied General He Shaozhou to a high ground outside the 8th Army headquarters and observed with a telescope.

General He Shaozhou pointed to the north and said: "The 71st Army once launched an attack on the Japanese highlands from Yincheng, but suffered a heavy blow. I found that it was inappropriate to attack Zihighlands. We must first eliminate the enemy in Gulongpo, and then eliminate the enemies in Dazhai and Dayakou, so that we can finally besiege Zihighlands."

General Feng Yizhong nodded and said, "I agree with Commander He's opinion. The Japanese fortifications are too solid and the defense system is very strict. We can only bite it little by little. If we are eager to achieve success, it will backfire."

General Wei Lihuang said: "I think it is inappropriate to rely entirely on Zhang Junhao. When Zhang Junhao launches an attack on the relevant Japanese fortification groups tonight, other teams should also launch an attack on the Japanese fortification groups in person."

Brigadier General Dorn, the highest adviser of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, said: "The Sino-US coalition forces have attacked Bamo and Lashio in northern Myanmar, but the Chinese Expeditionary Force is still on the side of the Nujiang River, and the progress is too slow. We must speed up the offensive and capture Songshan as soon as possible."

General Feng Yizhong sighed and said, "The road can only be walked step by step, and the food must be eaten one bite at a time. We are all working hard and we are not impatient."

Brigadier General Dorn said: "After the 11th Japanese Army captured Hengyang, it was advancing towards Guilin. Chongqing hoped to draw a part of the Chinese army stationed in India to return to China to participate in the war. If our side cannot defeat Songshan as soon as possible, where can the teams be able to block the Japanese 11th Army's attack? If the front line from Wuhan to Guangzhou is opened by the Japanese army, the Chinese Expeditionary Force will be blocked by the Japanese army in the southwest. You must also know the consequences. It is just that the attack is launched at night, which is too conservative and must attack day and night."

Brigadier General Donn represents the US military and must be respected.

General Wei Lihuang nodded and said, "I am clear about the situation, otherwise I wouldn't have come here to supervise the battle in person."

General Wei Lihuang looked at General He Shaozhou and said, "What General Dorn said makes sense. We must take down Songshan as soon as possible. The offensive principle remains unchanged. It is only from tomorrow that we must maintain a high-intensity offensive against the Japanese army day and night."

Commander He Shaozhou stood at the right moment and said yes loudly.

Suddenly a staff officer came and shouted: "Air raid alarm! A large group of Japanese bombers are flying towards our area."

Commander He Shaozhou shouted to General Wei Lihuang: "Commander, please hide quickly."

He Shaozhou's guards immediately protected the generals and ran towards the 8th Army headquarters.

The anti-aircraft guns of Gulongpo and Zhuzipo were fired into the sky. Japanese planes dropped bombs on Gulongpo and Zhuzipo like an old hen laying eggs. The rumbling explosions came one after another, the earth was shaking, and the smoke filled the gunpowder.

In the position of the Gunlongpo Melee Team, a light and heavy machine gun fired at the air, and dense bullets and rains woven into an air defense net.

Zhang Junhao was in the trenches, holding a semi-automatic rifle in both hands, looking up at the sky. Zhang Junhao recalled the direction of Impal. After the special melee team occupied the position, he just kept busy fighting and didn't have to worry about the safety of the sky. But after coming here, Japanese planes appeared the next day. In the morning, Japanese airdropped supplies and came to bomb in the afternoon.

The Chinese battlefield air force is still too weak to protect the safety of the sky.

Faced with the bombing of Japanese planes, Zhang Junhao would not hide. In his opinion, hiding is not safe. Staying in the trenches can take the initiative to hide.

Fortunately, the Gunlongpo units did not launch an attack on the Japanese fortifications during the day. If they launched an attack, they would be exposed. Now all units are in the fortifications, which is relatively safe.

Zhang Junhao saw anti-aircraft guns firing shells into the sky. After the shells were fired into the sky, they bloomed like plum blossoms. If a Japanese plane was locked, it would inevitably be shot down.

No teams on other positions used machine guns to defend against air, but almost all the light and heavy machine guns on the special melee team's positions were spraying bullets into the sky.

If Japanese bombers dare to dive and bomb the positions of the special melee team, they will inevitably be shot down. If bombs are dropped at high altitude, it will be extremely difficult to land on trenches and castles.

Yu'er and Zhang Junhao were together. She held the submachine gun in both hands and stared at the sky with her eyes. Yu'er was not afraid of Japanese planes. If the plane really flew over her and Zhang Junhao to drop bombs, she thought she and Zhang Junhao had enough time and enough ability to avoid it.
