Chapter 73 The decisive battle is coming

Fu, a very ancient and common tactic, but in war, there are no two exactly the same eggs in the world. If you study the ambush cases carefully, you will find that no two ambushes are exactly the same.

"The Art of War. Nine Changes" proposes that in special circumstances, command should adapt to changes according to the development of the war situation. Although the "Nine Changes" have different opinions on the history of different ways, they all change the guiding ideology of combat based on time and place, and do not blindly adhere to general principles.

"This is indeed a good place to ambush." ​​Wu Ming held up a telescope and carefully observed the surrounding terrain, then patted Xiao Minghua on the shoulder, "Everyone can see that the terrain here is dangerous. Do you think the Japanese devils will be fooled?"

Xiao Minghua was stunned, opened his mouth, and said stutteringly: "Don't ambush rely on favorable terrain? Isn't that the case?"

"Of course not." Wu Ming shook his head, "This is a mistake in understanding. Although most ambushings are indeed like this, there are many prerequisites and conditions. According to my understanding, the basis for ambushing is the combat situation between the enemy and us. If it is beneficial to me, it can be carried out. If it is not good for me, there is no need to copy it."

"The key point is not to place success on the stupidity of the enemy at any time, as it will make you seem incompetent." Wu Ming said with a smile: "If you were the Japanese commander, how would you deal with it when facing such a terrain?"

"Me?" Xiao Minghua thought for a while and said, "I will send a small search team to conduct a close reconnaissance and confirm that the enemy has not set up an ambush here before continuing to move forward."

"If all the troops were ambushed here, do you think they would be discovered by the Japanese?" Wu Ming continued.

"It should be, we don't know how to invisibility." Xiao Minghua replied truthfully: "If it is one, two people may not be discovered, and more than one hundred people may be in trouble."

"That's it." Wu Ming clapped his hands, "The ambush was not successful, but he would have to fight a position with the Japanese. Although the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the Japanese transfer the plane, this battle will be difficult."

"Then cancel this ambush. Let's continue to retreat westward. After meeting with the second and third teams, we will wipe out the Japanese army in one fell swoop." Although Xiao Minghua was a little unwilling to have his first combat vision denied, he still figured it out quickly. "Drag the enemy for a few more days, and when the enemy is exhausted, we will concentrate our all and succeed in one blow."

"It's right." Wu Ming nodded in admiration. "But this ambush still needs to be set up. Everything should be done as usual. It is convenient to set up places where traps should be set up. The burial of mines should be buried makes the Japanese army feel that nothing is abnormal and they can catch up with them with confidence."

Xiao Minghua looked at Wu Ming in confusion, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Yes. There is no ambush in such a good place. I don't know what the Japanese devils think? Let them experience some pain, constantly see through our conspiracies, and overcome all difficulties. Finally approach the goal. This should be the law of normal development of things, I understand."

……………………………

Fierce gunfire and explosion sounded in the distance. Sato sneered and raised his telescope. Although dozens of Japanese soldiers who were responsible for searching the high ground on both sides might be outnumbered, with his correct command, the large group of people avoided ambushing, and the Chinese attempted to go bankrupt again.

"Reinforce to the high ground on both sides and defeat the Chinese army." Sato issued a proud order. Now he was getting closer and closer to the Chinese army. With their relentless pursuit, they could no longer hold back. The dawn of victory was ahead.

"Your Excellency Sato, it seems that we have touched the butt of the Chinese people, and they can't hold back." The Japanese Staff Officer said in an admirational tone: "This is indeed a good place to set up an ambush, but unfortunately you have seen it out again."

"The dog is anxious to jump over the wall." Sato said lightly: "If we could get rid of our pursuit, they would have run away long ago. It seems that they were also chased by us in a very embarrassing way, so they would have been conspiring and plotting again and again."

"Your Excellency," said the Japanese Staff Smith, "The Chinese side has always avoided the real and attacked the virtual. Now he is eager to defeat our army. You can be sure that they were chased miserably by our army and cannot support it."

Sato nodded with a smile, "Send a report to Myitkyina. Our army pursues continuously with perseverance. Now we have found that the main force of the Chinese Rangers and the enemy is quite tired. Please cooperate closely and monitor closely. In this way, we will annihilate the main force of the Chinese Rangers and completely stabilize the rear."

Not long after, the Japanese in front of him came to report, "Your Excellency,

After the Chinese Rangers were discovered by my search troops, they fired violently, resulting in major casualties. They quickly retreated before the reinforcements arrived."

"Oh." Sato frowned and asked, "The firepower of the Chinese army is very fierce and moves very quickly?"

"Yes, yourselves." The devil replied: "The automatic weapons they used were indeed very fierce, and they also used light mortars."

Sato sneered, "They are demonstrating to us, indicating that they have ammunition and still have combat power." After a pause, Sato continued, "It's better to cover up. If they show weakness, our army should be more careful. Now that the enemy does this, I feel relieved."

"Showing him to be weak will have tricks." The Japanese Staff Officer also added: "Only when you are at the end of your life, you will be intimidated."

Sato nodded and ordered: "Order the troops to step up their pursuit. After all, we are hunters, and they are the prey. Within the control of our army, the enemy is far less convenient and flexible than our army. They are already quite tired and are just enough to defeat them in one fell swoop."

This is how people and land think. Under Wu Mingdi's repeated guidance, Sato has fallen into a vicious circle of thinking without knowing it. The Japanese army has always had a wrong judgment on the number of people in the Rangers. They always believed that the Rangers had no more than 200, and the Rangers had indeed not really concentrated all their troops to carry out major operations. Furthermore, the Japanese army always thought that their role was the pursuers. In their hinterland, the Rangers should flee in panic like now. The traps and mines along the way mean that the escapees were psychologically afraid and did not dare to collide with the search team head-on. Hiding and hiding are the duties of the Rangers.

……………………………………

After receiving Wu Ming's telegram, the General Command of the Indian Army re-formed the plan to set up another battlefield in Myitkyina. On 1944421, the General Command of the Chinese Army in India decided to form a commando of the United States Galahad regiment and Chinese troops to secretly advance from the mountain road, seize the Myitkyina Airport with the cooperation of Wu Ming's ranger, and then transport the troops and equipment to Myitkyina by air transport, and finally occupy the city of Myitkyina. In this way, the armies of China and the United States formed a mixed formation and formed an advance commando.

The captain of the advance commando is Brigadier General Mill. The captain of the 1st Column (K Column), Colonel Kellyshen, and the captain of the 1st Column (H Column). The 1st Column is composed of the 1st Battalion of the US Galahad Regiment, the 88th Regiment of the New 30th Infantry Regiment, and the 4th Artillery of the New 22nd Division. The 2nd Column is composed of |: 1st Platoon of 5th Artillery (composed by the US Army), 150th Infantry Regiment. 428. The weapons and equipment of the two columns have been supplemented, and a contingent composed of 1,400 US Army 4,000 Chinese troops and 600 Kachin Commando members began to operate.

The Myitkyina contingent crossed mountains and ridges and had an encounter with the Japanese army at Leiban and Dink Lugao. During the battle of Dink Lugao, the 88th Regiment fought with the Japanese army for 17 days, causing the main force to detour until the Battle of Myitkyina and the Japanese army retreated and the third one left the battle.

Because the ancient trees in the Kumang Mountains covered the sun and sank slopes, the troops crawled forward at a speed of four to five miles a day, and sometimes they had to use their hands and knees. Half of the mules died of exhaustion or fell into the canyon, and many soldiers died of typhus.

"Boss, the contingent sent a telegram, they are eight or nine days away from Myitkyina." Xiao Minghua ran over to report: "We are asked to respond five miles from the west airport of Myitkyina."

"Eight or nine days' journey?" Wu Ming shook his head gently, "That's their estimate. The road along the way is so difficult to walk, and you have to avoid the Japanese army. It will be fast in a dozen days. However, the decisive battle with the Japanese army is about to begin, and time should be too late."

"Boss, the second and third teams also sent a telegram. They have been successfully renowned and have been resting for two days. They are waiting for us not far ahead." Xiao Minghua continued: "I think the time to annihilate this group of Japanese devils is ripe."
