In the distance, the Japanese command center.

Two tricycles led the way, followed by two armored vehicles, and several large trucks at the end of the valley, came along the dirt road from the other end of the valley, and soon stopped in the open space in the valley basin.

Seeing this convoy coming, many Japanese soldiers stood attentively and saluted. Several Japanese officers even trotted all the way, opening the doors of the two armored vehicles with a respectful look on their faces. Several senior Japanese officers came out from inside, a Japanese lieutenant general, a Japanese major general, and two Japanese colonels.

Seeing this scene, the commander of the reconnaissance company in the distance who was paying attention to the situation here was slightly excited. Unexpectedly, there was a Japanese division-level command center in this valley. This time, he picked up a big fish.

This is indeed a Japanese division command center, one of the several major Japanese divisions stationed in Lashio, and the Japanese 22nd Division headquarters is stationed here.

The 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, one of the A Divisions, is one of the few A Divisions in the Japanese Army in Southeast Asia. Two years ago, the 22nd Division was a B Division, and it was later upgraded and expanded into A Division. The division commander was Japanese Lieutenant General Jiro Imamura.

The Japanese army deployed the 22nd Division and the 57th Division on the northern periphery of Lashio, with the purpose of blocking the Century Team to the south. Jiro Imamura also facilitated the front line to command and moved his division headquarters from the city to this hidden valley.

Now, Jiro Imura, who has a serious expression, has returned from the front line inspection. The war on the front line is unfavorable, which makes Jiro Imura feel heavy. Jiro Imura never expected that his A-type division, coupled with the cooperation of the 57th Division, could not stop the progress of the China** team. At present, the China** team is advancing smoothly.

After getting off the car, Jiro Imamura took a group of Japanese officers and entered the largest tent without stopping.

**********

The 1st Regiment of the Second Infantry Division of the 1st Army.

Commander He has received a report. Commander He never expected that he would find a very hidden command center of the Japanese army on his own march, and it might be a command center above the corps level.

Commander He thought to himself. If it was a command center at the Japanese brigade level, it would be a big profit. There was at least one Japanese major general at the command center at the brigade level. It was a great achievement to be able to kill a Japanese major general. Thinking of this, Commander He was slightly excited.

"Captain 1st Battalion! Commander 2nd Battalion! Commander 3rd Battalion!"

"Come!" Hearing his regiment commander shouting, the three battalion commanders not far away immediately jogged all the way and said in unison: "Captain! Do you have any instructions?"

Commander He motioned for his guard to open the military map he carried with him, and pointed to the map and said, "Captain 1st Battalion, lead your battalion quietly around here and attack me from this end of this valley. There is a large Japanese command center in the valley. Don't be careless."

When I heard that there was a large command center, the first battalion commander immediately said loudly: "Captain! Don't worry, you will definitely complete the tasks you deployed beautifully."

"Second Battalion Commander! Your mission is to attack from the other end of the valley."

The second battalion commander next to him had long been shining. When he learned that there was a large Japanese command center, he was extremely excited. He immediately said, "Captain! We will definitely beat the Japanese devils to the point of falling."

Commander He nodded, then looked at the hillside next to him, which was only two or three hundred meters high and said, "The soldiers of the Third Battalion follow me. Everyone climbed up the hill, rushed down the valley, and brought me the Japanese command center with everyone."

The Third Camp also whispered: "Yes!"

Now, the location of the first regiment is only a mountain from the Japanese command center, with a mountain ridge between them, and a mountain ridge that is only two or three hundred meters high.

This north-south mountain has a gentle terrain and the sparse shrubs on the mountain can easily climb to the top of the mountain. Commander He personally led the Third Battalion and the direct troops of the regiment. It took everyone only half an hour to climb the top of the mountain.

Standing on the top of the mountain and hidden in a shrub from behind, Commander He took his telescope and carefully observed the bottom of the valley not far away. Commander He was condescending and saw clearly that it was indeed a large command center with more than a dozen tents of all sizes. At least a dozen large trucks and three and four armored vehicles were parked in the valley basin.

In addition, there are not many Japanese soldiers patrolling the open space, at least hundreds of them. Judging from this scale, based on experience, Captain He thinks that it should be at least a Japanese brigade-level command center, or a Japanese division command center.

Division Command! Thinking about it, Commander He was so excited.

After finally calming down his excitement, Commander He held his telescope and saw that the first and second battalions had reached the entrances and exits on both sides of the valley and had successfully blocked the valley. The Japanese army in the valley became a turtle in a jar.

"The Third Battalion Commander, use all the mortars in your battalion and bombard me the Japanese command at the bottom of the valley."

At the bottom of the valley, about a few hundred meters away from the top of the mountain, it is just within the firing range of 60mm mortars. Not only did the Third Battalion equipped 18 60mm mortars, but the first regiment's direct mortar company also equipped 12 81mm cannon guns.

Soon, these mortars were erected on the top of the mountain. The mortars had very low terrain requirements, and even the top of the mountain was very convenient to erect. 18 60mm mortars and 12 81mm artillery guns were erected one after another.

"Tell me the order, send the signal flares, prepare for the battle!"

A dazzling signal flare rose into the sky, and almost all the soldiers in the entire regiment saw it, and of course, the Japanese army in the valley also saw it.

The Japanese army at the bottom of the valley saw a signal flare suddenly rising on the top of the mountain. The Japanese army became nervous. A Japanese major even raised his telescope at the first time and hurriedly looked at the mountain not far away.

At first glance, the Japanese devils almost dropped his telescope to the ground, and a large number of Chinese soldiers appeared faintly on the top of the mountain. If it weren't for relying on the telescope, the Japanese devils would not have discovered the soldiers on the top of the mountain. The soldiers were all in field camouflage uniforms, and they were very hidden under the cover of trees and shrubs.

"Baga! It's all the Chinese team!"

The Japanese Grandpa shouted in anger, and a large number of sharp whistling sounds sounded almost at the same time, and 30 mortars on the top of the mountain began to show their power.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The dense mortar shells exploded in the valley basin, and 10 shots of 30 mortars were extremely terrifying. Mortar shells were simply overwhelming.

Many Japanese soldiers were blown away before they could react. Several trucks parked in the basin were also blown up. One of the Japanese armored vehicles was blown up. The armored vehicles were hit by several mortar shells in succession.

Several of the Japanese tents were destroyed. Jiro Imamura's commander was lucky. The big tent where Jiro Imamura was located was not hit by a bomb.

"Secretary Commander! Retreat quickly!"

A Japanese colonel did not react slowly. The sound of explosions outside was overwhelming. The Japanese colonel immediately persuaded to retreat. From such a dense explosion, it could be guessed that the person who came was not good.

Jiro Imamura immediately stepped on his command knife and hurried out of the tent. As soon as he got out of the tent, Jiro Imamura heard several explosions coming from behind him, and his big tent was blown away.

Jiro Imamura was scared and sweated in a cold sweat, and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

At this time, a terrifying shout sounded from the top of the mountain, and hundreds of soldiers, holding their weapons, rushed down one after another.

Seeing so many soldiers rushing down, the Japanese were so scared that their faces were pale, and Jiro Imamura was the same, with a little pale face.

Jiro Imura staggered and ran to an armored vehicle not far away in a mess. At this time, the shelling at the top of the mountain had ended, and one of the several Japanese armored vehicles had not been destroyed. Jiro Imura obviously took a fancy to this armored vehicle and was preparing to use this armored vehicle to escape.

There were also shocking shouts at both ends of the valley. The soldiers of the first and second battalions rushed over with weapons. The soldiers charged and shot, and the Japanese who were resisting were killed.

Seeing that there were a large number of Chinese soldiers in the valleys on both sides, Jiro Imamura ran faster and led a group of Japanese officers to rush to the armored vehicle in the distance.

It was more than 100 meters away, why was it so far today? Imamura Jiro wanted to run to the armored vehicle as soon as possible, then boarded the armored vehicle, and drove at full speed to break out a bloody road.

Finally, Jiro Imamura ran to the armored vehicle. Jiro Imamura quickly opened the door, rolled and crawled in, and hurriedly said, "Hurry! Open the road quickly."

The Japanese driver also barely got in and got the order to start the armored vehicle immediately. The rest of the Japanese officers who ran over with Jiro Imamura, including a major general, two colonels, and several Nakasa and Grandmasa.

The Japanese officers ignored the armored vehicles that had already been launched and kept drilling into them. Soon, the armored vehicles were stuffed tightly, at least seven or eight people came in, and a group of Japanese officers were like sardines.

There are also some middle- and low-level Japanese officers who were unable to get in. They climbed onto the roof of the car or hugged them in the car. Now, it is important for Japanese soldiers to escape.

In the distance, a soldier carried a 40mm rocket launcher and pointed it at the armored vehicle. Seeing that there were many Japanese officers hanging outside the armor, the soldiers couldn't help laughing. At the same time, they calmly aimed and fired a rocket.
