With this Eastern Battle Command, although Wang Yong 'an did not completely break free from the shackles, he still had a lot of autonomy.
Especially for the expeditionary army headquarters, they could directly say that they would not accept military orders outside.
"Yufei, send a message to the other groups to hurry to Lashu!”
Wang Yong 'an said," Also, send a telegram to the president. I hope that in the name of the Eastern Battle Command, the 66th Army will be ordered to defend Wanding.”
"At the same time, set up a temporary supervision department for the eastern command center. It will be formed by all the people from your commander. They will be stationed in all the command centers above the regiment level of the 66th division to supervise the battle!”
"Can you set up the Inspectorate in one day?”
Wang Yong 'an asked.
"Sure!"
Gu Yufei nodded." Each division already has inspectors. We only need to send a portion of them!”
"Good!" Wang Yong 'an nodded."Just let your brother, Master Qi, be the temporary head of the Inspectorate. I'll give Master Qi an order in private. You can be ruthless, but don't be too ruthless. There will be underhanded attacks on the battlefield ~"
"Got it!"
Gu Yufei nodded. Letting Young Master Qi become an inspector was also letting Young Master Qi return to his old profession.
"Also, send a telegram to the two reserve divisions to set up a defense line in Tengchong!”Wang Yong 'an continued.
After the Japanese captured Lashiu, they would have two directions to advance.
One was Myitkyina, which completely sealed off the expeditionary army's retreat route. The other was the Japanese taking the Yunnan-Myanmar highway and entering Wanding and Tengchong, entering the country.
Wang Yong 'an couldn't reach Myitkyina, but he believed Du Ming would be prepared.
However, if the Japanese were to stop their advance, the 66th Army would have to stabilize their decline.
And the best way to stabilize the situation was the Inspectorate!
Although Wang Yong 'ang also hated inspectors very much, it was understandable that at critical times, these inspectors could indeed force out the last bit of potential of the army.
Time slowly passed, and night fell again.
Looking at the stars in the sky, Wang Yong 'an felt very at ease. He did not know when the night would give people a more comfortable feeling than the day.
After an entire day of traveling, the Fierce Tiger Division had already arrived at the outskirts of Lashu.
In this one day, Wang Yong 'an commanded the Ferocious Tiger Division to advance at full speed on the Yunnan-Myanmar highway without any concealment.
Therefore, the Japanese also got the information about the Fierce Tiger Division's movements from the reconnaissance plane.
Knowing the fighting capabilities of the Fierce Tiger Division, the Japanese retreated from Wanding and became the reserve force of Lashu.
However, the Japanese didn't stop moving toward the northwest.
After all, the Japanese's first goal was to occupy Myitkyina and cut off all the retreat routes of the expeditionary force.
As for Lashou, they just needed to hold on. But even so, the Japanese still placed an entire division of soldiers in Lashou, which showed that they thought highly of the Tiger Division.
At this moment, in the command center of the Fierce Tiger Division.
The commanders of the Ferocious Tiger Division's four main regiments, artillery regiment, and engineer regiment, as well as the commanders of the division's combat troops, were all here.
" I don't want to say anything else." Wang Yong 'an pointed at Lashio on the map and said," Tonight, you must break through the outer defense line of Lashio. Before dawn tomorrow, the assault troops must enter the inner perimeter of Lashio!”
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone listened to Wang Yong 'an's order and understood what he meant. After the day, the Japanese planes could come to support them at any time. They would definitely be at a disadvantage.
At night, with the firepower of the Ferocious Tiger Division, they had the advantage against the Japanese.
" Although our Fierce Tiger Division is quite famous, many people say that we like to fight petty thieves. This is the first time we've met the Japanese head-on."
"Tonight, we will let everyone see the real combat power of our Fierce Tiger Division!”Wang Yong An said.
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone in the command center shouted.
" Give the battle order now!"
Wang Yong 'an said," It's 7:30 now. After 9 o'clock, the artillery regiment will start firing!”
Wang Yong 'an looked at the commander of the artillery regiment." I gave you a long time to find a suitable artillery position and to mark the shooting elements in Lashou City. How did it go?"”
"Master!"
The leader of the artillery regiment, Chu Yuan, patted his chest and said," Don't worry, our cannons are all American equipment. Their range is much higher than the Japanese's cannons. Just you wait and see. Tonight, not only will we make the Japanese cry for their parents, but we will also make the Japanese's artillery regiment unable to operate!”
"Good!"
Wang Yong 'an nodded.
The biggest advantage of having a long range is that I can cover your artillery position, but your artillery can't hit me ~
"Zhao Zishi, your 237th Regiment will be the main attacker tonight!”Wang Yong 'an said," You can take as much equipment as you want from Old Ying. I don't care if you have two guns per person, but you have to be worthy of these equipment!”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Zishi nodded. This man from Jizhou looked very powerful and somewhat like Zhao Zilong.
"Wang Zhiguo!"
Wang Yong 'an spoke again," Your Rapid Combat Battalion will be transferred to the 237th Regiment. Listen to Zhao Zishi's command!”
"Yes, sir!"
Wang Zhiguo nodded.
"The 245th Regiment and the 246th Regiment will assist from the left and right sides respectively. At the same time, guard against the Japanese's roundabout attacks!”Wang Yong 'an continued," The 356th Regiment will be the main reserve team.”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhou Xue, Zhao Zhenguo, and Chen Xinghuai nodded at the same time.
"Today is the day when the Fierce Tiger Division will truly show off its combat power ~" Wang Yong 'an said with a final chicken soup."Our radio station is very well-equipped. These radio stations can't just be for show ~"
"This is also the first time our Ferocious Tiger Division is engaged in a comprehensive battle. We are telling our brothers below that they should not be stingy when they call for artillery fire. Their lives are much more precious than those cannonballs!”
"Yes, sir!"
Everyone nodded. Then, everyone looked at Chu He.
"Don't worry, everyone. The artillery regiment has long been prepared. Tonight, I guarantee that you'll blow up wherever you want ~"
Chu He patted his chest and said.
"Alright!"
Wang Yong 'an said," Now, go back and reorganize the army. The artillery regiment will start firing at nine o'clock. After half an hour of firing, each regiment will start moving according to their own combat mission!”
"Yes, sir!"
