At the same time, the latest battle report from Lashio excited Liao Mingyu. After more than half a month of confrontation between the South Army and the 53rd Division, Long Wenhua finally opened a breakthrough.

Because the terrain of Lashio is mostly mountainous jungle, it is difficult for armored troops and artillery to set off, and the 53rd Division is very cunning and has been hiding in the forest and constantly dealing with it. Therefore, in the initial battle with the Japanese army, Long Wen has never gained an advantage.

Sneak attacks, interspers, and joint siege... In order to break the deadlock, the Japanese army thought of many ways, but Long Wen was not vague. The soldiers came to fight against each other when they came to fight with each other, using their strength and equipment advantages to fight with the Japanese.

Having said that, today's 200th Division is no longer the same as before. After several major blood changes, this legendary unit has long lost its courage as it used to be. There are still many new recruits in the team who have never fought wars, and only the dozen T26s can support the scene. The combat power of the infantry is very limited.

In addition, the engineering regiment, which is also inexperienced, is quite good to be able to face a division of the Japanese army without losing a disadvantage.

But their mentality is completely different...

Long Weng was not in a hurry. His main task was to prevent Lashio from letting a Japanese go north to support him. There was also the logistics base of Nankan, behind him, as support, and he was stationed in Lashio as stable as Mount Tai.

The Japanese were different. The telegram from the Japanese headquarters fell like snowflakes, all asking them to break through the enemy's defense line quickly to support Myitkyina. However, the war was progressing extremely slowly. The Chinese only defended but did not attack, and prevented Lashio so much that it was so anxious that the division commander Yuijiro Kono was so anxious that he was in a row.

Moreover, Kono found that the other party did not use all his strength and sent only a small number of troops to fight each time. Once the war was intensified, he immediately retreated. After repairing, another group of people came out to cause trouble, as if he treated them as whetstones.

The Dragon Demon indeed thought so. The strength of the soldiers under his command was uneven. How could he not practice more?

However, in this way, the battle between the two sides has turned into a tug-of-war. I can't do anything to you, and you can't do anything to me. The stalemate is a headache.

However, this is not a solution. After communicating with the headquarters, Yujiro Kono decided to take a gamble and push the whole line. Then, with the air force, he would break through in one fell swoop. No matter how much the price he paid, he would have to defeat the Chinese.

Long Wenhua seemed to have expected that they would have such a reaction. Since the Japanese army chose to take the initiative to attack and entangle with all the enemies on the front, within a radius of dozens of kilometers, the Lashio instantly burst into flames.

Just as the two sides were fighting wildly, a mysterious unit quietly came to the south of the Japanese army.

At the same time, Long Wenbian suddenly ordered the 1132nd Regiment of the 200th Division, which was in full swing, to withdraw from the battle and move backwards, but this led to a huge loophole in the originally stalemate defense line.

How could the Japanese army miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Kono Yujiro ordered all troops to attack and attack this gap with the cooperation of the fighter jets in the sky, trying to concentrate on the entire defense of the Chinese people.

The Japanese, who were unaware of the savages, quickly made adjustments and gathered the forces of two regiments to attack this point. Soon they went deep into the hinterland to cause the 200th Division and the Engineer Regiment to retreat in succession.

Seeing that the front was broken, several Chinese troops around began to flee backwards. Not only did they give up their outer defense lines, but they were even occupied by the Japanese in the railway station and Lashio city. There were countless ammunition and medicine supplies in the military camp in the city.

Kono Yujiro was overjoyed and thought that the other party could not bear the pressure and began to collapse. He immediately decided to increase his troops and expand his results, and even put all the reserve teams on the battlefield.

The balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards the Japanese, but it seemed to be a foregone conclusion, but I didn’t know that all this was a trap set by Long Wen!

Just as the Japanese army raised their battle flags and celebrated their excitement to capture Lashio, the mysterious unit that was ambushing on the battlefield early suddenly attacked their weak rear command center.

A team of thousands of people appeared from behind the butt. They wore grass rings and animal skins, and their weapons were also varied, looking like savages.

But this army, which was like a guerrilla, caused a devastating blow to the Japanese army. Because of the lack of escort, almost all command posts and artillery positions were attacked.

Although the other party seemed to be a mob, it was because there were many people, and the Japanese behind them were in chaos in an instant.

After receiving the news, Yujiro Kono was also in a cold sweat. If he hadn't been moving forward with the large army on a whim, he would have been beheaded by someone now.

This team is the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army, which was originally besieged by the Japanese in the Wa State area.

Due to the restraint of the First Regiment, the Japanese army gave up the encirclement and turned north. They took the opportunity to sneak into the jungle and disappeared. It was not until Fang Jingyao arrived in Lashio that he found a way to contact them.

Although these people do not have the excellent weapons like regular troops, they can escape the Japanese encirclement and interception repeatedly, which fully proves that they still have some advantages.

Long Weng, who had a keen mind, immediately realized the way to defeat the Japanese, so he started to perform this performance after discussing with Fang Jingyao.

On the front battlefield, he pretended to be defeated and revealed his flaws, and then opened the gap to lure the enemy into the deep. Long Weng was bold and did not hesitate to use the military supplies hoarded by Lashio as bait, which caused the opponent to really let go of his vigilance because he had already fled, so he put down his guard and put all the troops into the "chasing".

Almost at the same time as the Japanese army was attacked in the rear, the 200th Division and the Engineer Corps, which were originally "fleeing", immediately responded to the counterattack. Each regiment adopted a tactic of division and siege against the Japanese army, forcing the other side to be unable to take care of each other.

Only then did Kono Yujiro realize that he had fallen into the enemy's trick, but it was too late at this moment.

Because the two corps that were alone in deep were too long, their troops had no time to react. After this period of time, the soldiers were reborn and transformed. They cooperated with each other and acted quickly, and they completed the encirclement of the Japanese army in an instant.

There was no suspense in the following situation. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties under the attack of various troops, blood-stained corpses could be seen everywhere, and the entire jungle was filled with harsh gunfire and shouts.

Both sides were already entangled, and the Japanese fighter jets could not help at this time, so they could only watch the situation on the verge of collapse.

The remorseful commander of the Kono Division had to order each to break through, but the large army had been disbanded by the Chinese, as if they could encounter the upper figures of the enemy everywhere. The Japanese army was in chaos, and it was said that the soldiers could not find the generals, and the generals could not find the soldiers, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

In the end... the Battle of Lashio ended with the defeat of the Japanese army. More than 4,000 people were killed in the entire 53rd Division, including two colonel captains, countless injured people, and very few people finally broke through and retreated.
