After landing, Balsos quickly disposes of the umbrella bag behind him to check the equipment, and orders the surrounding team members to observe the terrain, select a high ground for easy defense to establish a defense line, and at the same time, they turn on the radio to airborne the soldiers nearby to meet him.

The more than 900 paratroopers airborne this time were composed of the first and second divisions of the Mairel Commando. As the commander of the first division of the commando, Balsos was fully commanded by him this time. The most urgent task is to gather the troops as soon as possible and start an attack on the enemy according to the scheduled plan.

Each airborne team is equipped with a liaison officer. After successfully landing, they will contact the operation commander's radio as soon as possible and move to the assembly point as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, the airborne did not encounter too many enemy attacks this time, and most of the Japanese army was still concentrated in the main position of Nuanshan, and there were not too many enemy troops in the airborne area. It took only an hour for the soldiers from two squads to assemble.

After counting, except for the 78 people who were reduced by the enemy or accident during the airborne, the other soldiers and equipment were intact. Soon they initially established a line of defense on the spot and began to clean up nearby Japanese troops.

The transport planes that returned soon returned to the airborne area and sent the second batch of paratroopers to the battlefield, but their location was not on the side of Balsos, but on another major traffic route more than 20 kilometers away from the latter. There were still a large number of Japanese activities there. According to air reconnaissance, it was probably the enemy's wounded hospital or logistics equipment storage point. Anyway, it must be an important stronghold.

At the same time, the transport aircraft also brought more ammunition and support equipment, such as 2-heavy machine guns, Type 2 60mm mortars, etc.

As a single soldier, it is light and portable, with a fast fire speed and a large power. The 60mm mortar, which can be operated by a single person, has become the best choice in the jungle battle of the commando team, and it is also their only artillery fire support. It must be deployed in large quantities in the airborne troops.

As the saying goes, hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, the two assault troops are like a big pliers. Because of his weak spots in the Japanese army, Kimura Jiro suddenly panicked when he learned that there was an enemy situation on both the flanks and the rear. The enemy actually detoured the rear from under his nose!

He could not understand the paratrooper airborne tactics for the time being. The Japanese army itself lacked the preparation and use of the airborne troops, and their only airborne force was also a very short-lived existence.

The short and weak Japanese airborne brigade even made a lot of jokes on the battlefield. During the battle in Saipan, the Japanese army airborne troops had been changed to infantry operations and were wiped out. The naval airborne troops were all destroyed in the battle of Okinawa, ending the short but inaction of the Japanese airborne troops.

So Jiro Kimura didn't expect the enemy to use airborne tactics to deal with them. He was hesitating whether to retreat. Now, if he doesn't withdraw it, it's all here.

However, the current situation is no longer something they can retreat if they want. It takes a lot of time for the troops of more than 10,000 people to pack up and drive. The fighter planes in the sky are always staring at each other, without giving them a chance to breathe.

Soon the 200th Division and the 50th Division surrounded each other, and Liantian artillery fire would once again cover the warm mountains. The vanguard attacking the mountain had reached the foot of the mountain and under the cover of artillery shells and bombers, they had begun to attack the mountain. But surprisingly, the resistance on the position was not as fierce as imagined.

Jiro Kimura thought for a long time, but in the end he couldn't resist the pressure and chose to retreat. He left a unit's military strength behind the palace, but because his warm mountain defense line was extended relatively large, it was too difficult for two or three thousand people to guard the place, not to mention that the opponent's troops were several times more powerful than his own, and there were still the assistance of artillery and fighter jets. To put it bluntly, these Japanese devils were staying to die, and they were all victims of the retreat of the large army.

At around 2 pm, the 30th Brigade encountered the second echelon of the airborne troops on the way to Nanben, and the two sides immediately started a war.

The gunfire and shells exploded in the teams of both sides. The Japanese were eager to escape and did not fight too much. They just wanted to pass through this place quickly. The second echelon of paratroopers was clearly a stumbling block, so how could you leave safely?

Within two hours, the first echelon of the airborne troops also joined forces with part of the 29th Japanese Brigade. Both sides put in full force, and the battle scene was extremely tragic.

Jiro Kimura did not let the troops evacuate to one place, mainly because he got together and the target was too big and could easily become a living target for US aircraft. He dispersed the team and turned into pieces, and went south one after another in the form of small straits, mainly running south, and the two cities in Lampang were evacuated.

The fighter jets in the sky are still searching for targets. Their radios are connected to the ground forces and will go wherever reinforcements are needed. This kind of ground-to-air coordinated combat method is like a dimensionality reduction strike, which has caused the Japanese to suffer a lot.

The transport aircraft formation currently parked at Heihe Airport is also rushing to prepare for the third airborne mission. More than 900 people from the third echelon of the Mairel Commando are boarding the plane one after another. They will arrive at the battlefield in two hours to provide more troops for the paratrooper blocking area.

This joint battle was personally directed by Liao Mingyu, and Stilwell was generous this time. In addition to letting the 14th and 20th air force teams move to Heihe Airport to prepare for the war, he also temporarily handed over the command of the two air force teams to him.

With a systematic base main control room to grasp the overall situation, he can learn about everything that happened on the front line battlefield as soon as possible. Even if the troops participating in the war have reached 50,000 or 60,000, he can make adjustments and arrangements based on the facts as soon as possible, so that all departments can execute orders in an orderly manner according to the plan.

The entire Chiang Mai area was a mess. Due to the early escape of the Fourth Division, the combat cores of the two divisions of the 88th Army were all centered on annihilation of the Japanese troops stationed in Yinda Nuanshan. As long as the Japanese army was annihilated, there would be no threat in southeastern Myanmar.

However, the first echelon of paratroopers encountered a tough problem. The place where they blocked was to Lampang. The Japanese army asked the 29th Brigade's tank brigade to take the lead, and 8 Type 97 tanks and 3 Type 9 bean tanks appeared in the battle area between the two sides.

The transport aircraft formation currently parked at Heihe Airport is also rushing to prepare for the third airborne mission. More than 900 people from the third echelon of the Mairel Commando are boarding the plane one after another. They will arrive at the battlefield in two hours to provide more troops for the paratrooper blocking area.

This joint battle was personally directed by Liao Mingyu, and Stilwell was generous this time. In addition to letting the 14th and 20th air force teams move to Heihe Airport to prepare for the war, he also temporarily handed over the command of the two air force teams to him.
