As the war progressed, the Chinese Expeditionary Army also pushed forward to the front line.
Since the day we crossed the river, our soldiers have been under attack.
As for why our army was discovered by the enemy as soon as we crossed the river, coupled with the recent heavy losses suffered by the enemy, it attracted the attention of the commander of the expeditionary army, Wei Lihuang.
However, he could not find the reason.
In the battle against the Japanese army and the capture of Tengchong, the United States also sent troops to participate in the battle. On the ground, there were about 3000 soldiers directly participating in the battle. Alan, the American soldier that Pan Huanghe had encountered in the Nu River, was one of them. In addition, the U.S. military also sent air forces to attack the Japanese. However, due to the geographical location, the air force had not been dispatched.
On May 10, 1944, 10 days after the crossing of the river, an urgent intelligence report presented by an American intelligence agent caught Wei Lihuang's attention.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, Colonel Burdin sent someone to deliver an emergency intelligence report, along with a chart of the Japanese defense forces on the east bank of the Nu River.
Wei Lihuang was shocked when he saw it. This was because the Japanese army's deployment was undoubtedly targeted. According to the plan, our attack will be split into two wings. On the left side, Songshan and Longling would be attacked by a feint army, with the goal of distracting and pinning down the enemy. The right wing, Tengchong, would be the main attack direction. The main attack group was the 20th group army, and the 11th group army was the reinforcement. The Japanese army seemed to have long known about our deployment. They concentrated more than 30,000 of the main force of the 56th Division on the front line of Gaoligong Mountain in Tengchong. They used the dangerous terrain to frequently counterattack, causing our attacks to be thwarted and heavy casualties.
After Wei Lihuang finished reading the information, his face turned ashen. He smashed the combat sandbox on the table with a punch. The attacking troops were repeatedly defeated, and the reinforcements were stuck in the canyon. Artillery fire could not be used, and planes could not drop bombs…The Japanese army occupied the mountain top, commanding it from above, killing and injuring a large number of Chinese troops. In the first week of the war, the Chinese army suffered nearly ten thousand casualties.
Wei Lihuang was very clear about the current situation. The rainy season in June was approaching. Once the rain fell, the river would rise, and the offensive of the Celestial Army would collapse. The problem wasn't just the Nujiang battlefield. If the 200,000 Chinese army couldn't defeat the 30,000 Japanese army, the impact of the defeat would quickly spread to North Myanmar, Imphal, and the entire Southeast Asia. It was entirely possible for the Japanese to take advantage of the victory and advance, directly taking Myanmar, India, and then attacking Kunming, Guiyang, and Chongqing. At that time, the " dominoes " of the Asian battlefield would collapse unpredictably because of a small Nu River battlefield.
Who leaked military secrets?
Wei Lihuang immediately summoned the supreme commanders of the left and right wings. After obtaining the unanimous agreement of the two commanders, he immediately ordered the staff to change the original attack plan. He personally took the newly drafted battle plan to Chungking to meet with Jiang Jieshi.
The new plan took advantage of the Japanese's deployment of troops concentrated on the right wing, and secretly transferred the reserve team's 11th Army to the left wing of Songshan to launch a general attack on Songshan and Longling, control the Yunnan-Myanmar highway, and cut off the retreat of the Japanese army in Tengchong. In this way, with an advantage of 200,000 troops, they could attack from both sides at the same time, so that the enemy could not look at each other from the front and back.
The new plan was quickly approved by the US Army Field Command. The U.S. military said it would send more combat aircraft to support them.
Matsuyama, the Japanese Army headquarters.
Kanemitsu Keiciro was eating a chicken drumstick with one hand and holding a disorganized military prostitute with the other. He was having a good time.
The prostitutes were also overjoyed and kept changing their positions to cater to him.
Kanemitsu Kejiro laughed lewdly as he worked,"
"Damn it, even if ###pig had a hundred lives, he would still be killed!”
After he was done, he pulled up his pants and walked to the watchtower. He arrogantly shouted at the foot of the mountain,
"###Pig, come and die! Hahahahaha…hahahaha…"
