On the first day at the airport, other than a small Japanese troop, there were no other Japanese troops. On the second day, there were a few small attacks, all of which were Japanese soldiers. In these two days at the airport, the 3rd Regiment saved nearly 800 expeditionary soldiers.
They had retreated from southern Myanmar to northern Myanmar. They were exhausted and their weapons were damaged. Many of them had wounds on their bodies. As summer arrived, their wounds were very easy to get infected. Zhou Heng let them rest and recuperate at the airport and not fight for the time being.
On the third day, the first large group of Japanese appeared near the airport. They had chased from southern Myanmar to northern Myanmar. According to the results of the scouts, there were about two squadrons of 400 people. They did not find any heavy firepower. They must have chased too fast and left the artillery behind.
The other side seemed to have noticed that there were Chinese troops at the airport, so they were preparing to attack the airport two kilometers away.
This made Zhou Heng speechless. He didn't know whether to say that these Japanese soldiers were confident or arrogant. They had planned to attack before they even knew the situation at the airport. Moreover, they had split up and attacked from both sides.
At the frontline command post, Zhou Heng listened to the report of the scout and smiled at the people present." These Japanese probably think that we are the exhausted expeditionary force, right? 400 people dare to attack our 2,000-strong base, how do you think we should fight?”
"In my opinion, we should just attack directly. Our artillery is far more powerful than theirs. The Japanese only know how to use artillery to bombard their infantry. We should do the same thing. First, we use artillery to bombard them, then we charge over and beat them up.”Meng Fan said. The two days of fighting had given him a lot of confidence. Now, he even dared to attack.
"Yes, at the moment, we do have a huge advantage. Attacking is also a good choice. "Lin Yi also agrees with Meng Fan's plan.
However, after hearing their thoughts, Zhou Heng didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Wang Wenyuan, who was attending the meeting for the first time, what he thought. The beautiful attack the day before yesterday had earned him the attention of Zhou Heng. As a talent grooming, he began to get in touch with the core meeting.
Wang Wenyuan, who was standing in the corner, didn't expect Zhou Heng to ask for his opinion. He was silent for a while and then said," I think we can wipe out these two Japanese squadrons. If we attack directly, they might retreat. It's not that the Japanese won't retreat. When they encounter a fierce attack, they will also retreat.”
"Good, you're ambitious enough to want to wipe them all out. What tactics do you have to keep them all here?”Zhou Heng really liked this kind of ambitious general in battle.
"We just need to be able to block the Japanese from getting close. Don't show too much firepower and hold them back. At the same time, send a battalion to surround them. When the troops are in position, we will focus our firepower on them. When that time comes, they will definitely retreat, but they won't be able to escape even if they want to.”Wang Wenyuan revealed his plan.
Everyone's eyes lit up. This was a good idea. With the Japanese's arrogance, if they had the chance to break through the defense, they would definitely not retreat. As long as they delayed, the team behind them would be able to surround them and wipe them out.
"Good, good strategy. That's it. The Japanese are attacking from the southeast, so we'll go out from the northwest. This mission will be handed to you, Wang Wenyuan.”Zhou Heng immediately rose in rank. Previously, he was the one leading the 3rd Battalion. Now, he could hand it over to someone else.
Wang Wenyuan's face revealed a surprised look. He quickly saluted and replied," I promise to complete the mission. I won't let any Japanese off."”
"Alright, let's go. This is the first large-scale battle. I'll be waiting for your good news.”Zhou Heng said to everyone.
A group of people went out to prepare their battle plan. Zhou Heng took out his binoculars and began to check the situation of the Japanese in the distance. However, the forest was dense and he could not see anything.
At this time, in the jungle outside the airport, the Japanese army was eating. They were already starving, and the logistics could not keep up. They could only eat what they had seized, mostly biscuits and canned food discarded by the British army. They would only attack after they had eaten their fill.
"Captain, this is the canned beef from the British army. It's much more delicious than the fish. There's also these biscuits with sugar in them.”A second lieutenant brought the canned food and biscuits that he had prepared to Nozomi Tachibana.
Tachibana took the can and started eating. He was obviously hungry from running. After finishing a can, he let out a sigh of relief and said," The English still don't know how to cook. The beef is so good, but it tastes so strange. I really miss the Sushi and Miso soup back home!"”
"When we defeat the British and American monsters, the captain will return to his hometown and countless citizens will send him miso soup to let the captain feel the warmth of his hometown.”The second lieutenant flattered him very loudly.
However, the muscular Tachibana Norio did not like flattery. He stood up and looked at the airport not far away. He asked," The airport should be guarded by the Chinese. Have you found out how many people there are?" How's the firepower?"
"Hai Yi, there should be more than 1000 people at the outpost. The fortifications should be left behind by the British. They still have to defend the surroundings, so their forces are very weak. After dinner, they will attack from the southeast. The Chinese people will not be able to withstand a single blow. Whether it is in Myanmar or China, they will probably need to charge and the captain will be able to enter the airport for tea.”The major said with certainty.
Nodding, Tachibana seemed to agree with him." Then let's start the attack in half an hour and take down Myanmar. The Chinese will be cut off from the United States and the United Kingdom. At that time, we can force the People's Party to surrender. These traitors from Asia should go to hell."”
In the eyes of many Japanese, they invaded other countries for the so-called common prosperity of Asia. Whoever did not cooperate with them was a traitor. They did not care about the crimes they committed in other countries or whether other countries were willing or not.
