In the headquarters of the 200th Mechanized Brigade, the dim oil lamps were erratic, and the glass had been pasted with rice paper for air defense, and due to the unified strategic deployment of the Allied Air Force, Kunming was subjected to many large-scale air raids by the Japanese army on the second day in a row, but the main targets of the Japanese air raids were concentrated on the defensive positions of the defenders on the outskirts of Kunming City.
Song Yuhang, who had personally arrived at the front line to inspect the front, received a telegram from the Chongqing Military Judge Inspector, asking him to confirm the identity and mission of an officer named Chen Fufa and the team he commanded.
At this time, Song Yuhang knew that Chen Fufa, who had not been able to contact him, had actually returned to Chongqing a long time ago, but as soon as he came back, he was taken down by the director of military justice as a deserter, and of course the director of military justice did not believe Chen Fufa's so-called words, after all, they were numb to the deserters, what kind of excuse and people had never been met, and even more so, they even claimed to have been ordered by the chairman of the committee.
Later, Chen Fufa shouted injustice every day, one by one Song Yuhang's call, because it involved Song Yuhang, who was in the limelight, under the promise of dotting, a captain of the Judge Advocate General's Office in charge of detention asked for instructions, and then there was this life-saving telegram.
Song Yuhang immediately ordered someone to call back to confirm the identity of Chen Fufa and others, and take care of them, suddenly, Xu Tu'an, who was covered in gunsmoke, broke into the headquarters out of breath, put the telegram in his hand on the table, unbuttoned the wind with one hand, fanned the wind with his hat, and poured a few mouthfuls of cold water along his neck before he said loudly: "The Japanese army has increased its troops" The officers in the war room immediately gathered in front of the map with Song Yuhang as the center, and Xu Tuan continued: "The new commander of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Shozo Kawabe, officially succeeded Lieutenant General Iida Shoji as the commander of the Burmese Army, under the jurisdiction of the 15th and 28th armies, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi served as the commander of the 15th Army, and Lieutenant General Sakurai Province served as the commander of the 28th Army, and the Japanese army transferred four divisions and two brigades from the mainland and the Kwantung Army to join the sequence of the Burmese Army, so that the Japanese army in Burma has exceeded 330,000 troops. ” Except for Song Yuhang, almost everyone gasped, compared with the increase in Japanese troops, Song Yuhang was more worried about the 6th, 18th, and 32nd divisions and the 70th independent brigade in front of him, because Song Yuhang remembered it clearly.
The purpose of the Japanese army's large-scale increase in Burma was to enrich India, which was the gateway to the Middle East and the Germans, because in September 1942, Japan and Germany secretly formulated a battle plan for the Middle East.
Could it be that there has really been an unpredictable reversal or change in history, Song Yuhang's tightly knit brows made his expression look extremely solemn.
On 13 October, Kunming was facing a major crisis unprecedented in history, and three fully equipped divisions and another brigade of the Japanese army gathered on the outskirts of Kunming.
And the periphery of Kunming has formed a three-sided encirclement trend.
In the face of this unprecedented siege in history, Song Yuhang's heart was full of apprehension and uneasiness, in fact, history is very fair, Song Yuhang, who appeared in this time and space out of thin air, did his best, although he was unable to turn the tide and save the expeditionary force, but under his intervention, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses.
However, the Japanese naval reconnaissance plane accidentally shot down by Song Yuhang's troops gave the Japanese army a blessing in disguise and won the Battle of Midway, which should have been lost in history Won the Battle of Midway at Sea, although the strength of the Japanese Navy and Air Force was damaged.
However, it took advantage of the rare opportunity that the United States was moving to a wartime system.
Temporarily absolute initiative was mastered in the Pacific.
In this way, the Japanese army, which had a strong naval force, could quickly gather troops behind the southwestern hinterland of China by sea while traversing Southeast Asia.
The victory in the Burma campaign once again saw the possibility of a quick settlement of the Chinese incident in the Japanese base camp.
So the Japanese base camp decided to prepare for the offensive campaign in India.
Three divisions and one brigade of the Burmese Front were concentrated to cooperate with the Chinese dispatch army to flank the remnants of the Chinese Nationalist Government in the southwest.
Attempting to occupy Kunming and cut off the last international supply line for China.
The Japanese base camp was very optimistic about this large-scale operation.
They believed that the Chinese army that was approaching Changsha in advance would inevitably be mobilized and deployed near Kunming to wait for the Chinese government army to be resupplied and reloaded.
At that time, Kunming will defend against emptiness.
Even if the offensive fails, it also acts as a deterrent.
It has also achieved the goal of mobilizing the elite troops of the Chinese government army entrenched near the Yunnan-Burma border.
In order to concentrate forces to attack India in the next step, we will clear our worries.
Facing the Japanese army and the ground soldiers approaching the city.
Song Yuhang deployed his immature armored troops to the south of Kunming to conceal them.
The defense conditions of Kunming made it impossible for Song Yuhang to carry out a scorched earth defense of the same ancient style.
The 200th Mechanized Brigade is the only mechanized unit in China.
It must not be sacrificed lightly.
Moreover, as a barrier to Kunming, once Taiping Mountain was broken through by the Japanese army.
Then Kunming City will also fall into a situation where there is no danger to defend.
In order to prevent the same tragedy in Nanjing.
Song Yuhang has ordered a general evacuation of Kunming.
Once the Taiping Mountain is in danger.
The 200th Mechanized Brigade will take on the heavy responsibility of cutting off the rear ground for the retreating troops.
However, the Japanese army gathered heavily on the outskirts of Kunming, but it was a battle over who would take the main attack.
The commanders of the 6th, 18th, and 32nd Divisions.
For the sake of this great merit in conquering China's last international supply town, they did not give in to each other.
The Japanese generals who participated in the battlefield knew it in their hearts.
Kunming is China's last international supply distribution center.
The amount of material here will be astronomical.
The huge amount of materials hoarded in Kunming was undoubtedly a huge temptation for the Japanese army, which had already begun to collect supplies and allowances on the spot by fighting for war.
It has a large number of strategic materials.
Supplies will be converted into combat effectiveness.
And combat effectiveness means that the Japanese army has lost its cool in martial arts and glory.

The city of Kunming, where the war clouds are thick, has lost its former vitality.
There are no civilians in the city anymore.
Everywhere there were soldiers rushing to and fro.
From time to time, trucks whizzed by, loaded with soldiers or ammunition.
After inspecting several reserve positions of the heavy artillery battalion.
Song Yuhang drove straight to Taipingshan, the gateway barrier of Kunming.
Although Taiping Mountain was easy to defend and difficult to attack, he really couldn't let go of the provisional 10th Division that was stuck here.
Taiping Mountain is the commanding heights of Kunming.
As early as the domestic warlord melee period of the Yunnan warlord Chen Yuxing began to build the Taiping Mountain fortifications, although after many expansions and arrangements, but the Taiping Mountain fortifications still have a big problem, most of the fortifications, bunkers, fire support points, communication trenches are built on the windward line.
Although the construction of fortifications and bunkers in this way can obtain a good firing range and perspective, in the face of the Japanese army, whose firepower is several times or even more than ten times that of its own side, this will directly expose the defending troops to the direct range of the enemy's fire.
But most of the troops still do not learn their lessons.
After the three divisions of the Japanese army crossed the Nu River in a zigzag shape, Song Yuhang invested huge manpower and almost all the materials to transform the defense system of Taipingshan, but unfortunately due to the short time, only the position transformation of the main peak was completed.
The transformation of the position of the main peak of Taiping Mountain can be said to be a collection of the collective wisdom of the 200th Mechanized Brigade, which was submitted to Song Yuhang after being approved by Cui Zhijun, and several major roads around it were viewed remotely according to the main peak of Taiping Mountain.
With the steep nature of the mountain, Song Yuhang proposed a defense mode that combined the fire point, the return position and the tunnel defense system for this near-perfect defense system transformation plan.
Previously, Song Yuhang was authorized by Chongqing to cancel the numbers of the three provisional divisions, and all the soldiers and officers below the battalion level of the three divisions were supplemented to the three units including the 10th Provisional Division.
Liang Chao, who has been supplemented, can now be said to be in high spirits, and he is full of confidence in the 16,000 people of the Tenth Division to hold the main peak of Taiping Mountain and its two flank positions around it.
Liang Chao swore to Song Yuhang that as long as the ammunition supply was sufficient, the troops in other places would be able to nail to the main peak like an iron nail, and there would be no problem in holding the main peak for a month.
Song Yuhang patted Liang Chao's shoulder with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice: "This station is related to the overall success or failure of the Anti-Japanese War.
Once Kunming is lost, the consequences are unimaginable, and we must be ready to fight to the last soldier, and I will leave Chief of Staff Xu with you."
Song Yuhang's must be ready to fight to the last soldier, and this sentence made Liang Chao's heart chuckle.
After thinking about it for a long time, he made up his mind, as the saying goes, wealth and wealth are in danger, and he has no way to retreat at this moment.
Liang Chao looked at Song Yuhang for a long time and said leisurely: "Since the Anti-Japanese War, our troops have been several times that of the Japanese invaders in all previous battles and are still invincible, this time the ratio of our forces is so close, and the Japanese invaders are fierce again, Commander, do you think we can hold it?"
As soon as Liang Chao said this, the commanders of the Temporary Tenth Division in the command post turned their eyes to Song Yuhang, and Song Yuhang raised his head and glanced at Liang Chao when he heard this.
Then he said slowly: "What we are facing is not an ordinary war, after the Japanese invaders occupied the three eastern provinces, they began to carry out cultural aggression in a general manner, through the erosion of culture from our children, their purpose is to destroy our China and destroy our China, and now the Chinese nation has reached the most critical juncture, if Kunming once lost, it will lead to a sharp turn for the whole country, and we are likely to become the historical sinners of the nation." ” After a pause, Song Yuhang stretched out his hand and stroked the inland combat map of the headquarters and continued: "We were born in this era of many disasters and difficulties, since we are soldiers, we have decided that we will take on the sacred mission of resisting foreign humiliation, I once said it when I was stubbornly defending the same ancient times.
There is no certainty of victory, but there is the determination to become benevolent, life is just a few decades, the great husband's achievements are nothing more than a name for the ages, let us fight vigorously and to the death against the Japanese invaders under the city of Kunming, I believe that even after ten years, twenty years, fifty years, and a hundred years, there will be people who remember our group of heroes who stood up and generously went to the difficulties of the nation-state, and we will not be forgotten by history. ” Song Yuhang's rendering didn't play much of a role, after all, except for Liang Chao, a new division, several regiment commanders of the provisional 10th Division are old rivers and lakes and old fritters, and Song Yuhang's set of dealing with young hot-blooded students is okay.
Dealing with them is tantamount to playing the harp to the ox.
Song Yuhang was very unhappy with the reaction of several regiment commanders of the 10th Division. frowned and said: "If you win this battle, everyone can say anything, and if you are promoted to become rich, you will lose your head."
If anyone dares to escape or surrender, I will use my head to guarantee that he will be punished by the nine clans, and he will be killed without leaving his whole family of chickens and dogs."
"Do you understand," Song Yuhang yelled, causing all the officers present to tense their nerves Immediately, all the officers immediately replied, "I see."
An atmosphere of slaughter spread among everyone:
