I want to close the push next week, and thank you for all the book friends.
As a participant in this battle, Song Yuhang was naturally very concerned about Tengchong's attack and defense, but Song Yuhang paid more attention to the difference between the Battle of Tengchong at this moment and the Battle of Tengchong in history.
At this time, the Japanese army gathered 300,000 heavy troops in Burma to try to capture Imphal, the distribution center of India's allied materials, and used Imphal as a springboard to occupy India.
Moreover, the new 22nd Division and the new 3rd Division, which were planned to start from the Indo-Burmese border town of Lido, are still in India at the moment, and they are regarded as strategic reserves by the Allied Command.
Historically, two well-equipped and well-trained Chinese divisions crossed the Indo-Burmese border, first occupied Xinpingyang and other areas east of the Tanai River, established offensive starting positions and logistics supply bases, and then crossed the cross-country mountains, broke through the Hukang River Valley and the Mong Gong River Valley with powerful firepower and outflanking tactics, and seized Myitkyina, a key place in northern Burma, which played a decisive role in the final penetration of the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
And now, Song Yuhang knows that it is impossible to open up the Yunnan-Burma Highway at present, so Song Xilian's 11th Group, which is encircling the Japanese army on the front line of Longling from the right flank, is very easy to fall into a situation of supply difficulties, and the 11th Group Army in history is indeed in a supply dilemma because of the failure of Tengchong's long-term attack and the inability to break through Songshan, so the Tengchong Battle is related to the entire expeditionary force's battle situation, although the Chinese expeditionary force still occupies part of the advantage at the moment, but it is very likely because of a small mistake.
Let our army turn from active to passive on all fronts.
Song Yuhang knew that Wei Lihuang, Huo Yuzhang, Song Xilian and others had thought more, although this battle was to save others and save themselves, but it was actually equivalent to taking chestnuts for the British.
That is, the Japanese army must not feel threatened by the rear to return to reinforcements with all its might, and it must be able to threaten the Japanese army so that it cannot capture Imphal with all its strength Huo Yuzhang turned his gaze to Song Yuhangdao: "What does Commander Song think about the next battle of Tengxian?"
Song Yuhang was slightly stunned, then waved his hand and said: "Song Mou is a newcomer, let's listen to everyone here still have some experience in defending Song, and I don't have much experience in field battles, mixed mountains, and street battles, so it's better not to be ugly." ” Huo Yuzhang saw Song Yuhang's resignation.
After pondering Song Yuhang's words carefully, he took a big sip of the teacup and said: "Commander Song, you also know a little bit about my Huo someone's temperament these days, you are born in the army, and you can't do things around the bends, if you have anything to say, please say it directly."
As soon as Song Yuhang was obedient, he had to smile awkwardly.
Walk to the front of the stage.
After hesitating for a moment, Song Yuanhang used the baton to point to the four sides of Tengchong in the sand table and said: "Everyone, please see, the terrain of Tengchong City can be said to be surrounded by four mountains, and the Japanese army has gathered heavy troops to defend it around, I believe that it is ready for street fighting, on the other hand, our army."
Although there is artillery support.
There are Allied air forces to help in the war, but please pay attention.
Staff Officer Chen has just introduced that the Japanese army has turned Tengchong County into a fortress.
Although the Allied air force can blow up a few gaps, our army is still unable to go deep, and it is necessary for infantry to reach close and blast and destroy the enemy's fortifications before it can be actually occupied, and if our army attacks the city in a conventional way, it will inevitably fall into repeated battles with the Japanese army, and our army will inevitably spend a month, or even longer, and Tengchong County is likely to be unable to attack for a long time. ” Unconsciously.
The division commanders and regiment commanders below stood up one after another.
Gather before the sand table.
Song Yuhang pointed to the periphery of Tengchong City and said: "Tengchong County's potential is especially at the intersection in the center of the city.
Tengchong County is a mountainous area.
The central intersection is the highest in the city.
At the intersection of the central intersection, there is a tall and majestic Diwen Star Tower.
Overlooking the city.
And around the city.
It is a long and narrow basin.
Outside the city, there are phoenixes, flying phoenixes, and phoenixes.
Fengsi Mountain. for its natural barrier.
About two kilometers east of the city comes Fengshan.
Like a pen holder shape.
There are five peaks.
Bare and treeless.
According to Allied aerial reconnaissance ground intelligence.
It is likely that there is a tunnel in the saddle that leads into the city.
In other words, the Japanese army can come to Fengshan at any time through reinforcements from within the city.
Deliver supply ammunition to them.
The peak of Fengshan is about 150 meters higher than the city wall.
It is the commanding height of the suburbs of Tengchong.
If you don't take it down, Fengshan.
Our besieging troops will be attacked on their backs.
Siege is impossible.
However, the task of attacking Laifeng Mountain was extremely arduous. ” Standing behind Song Yuhang, Qi Baiming, commander of the Second Motorized Infantry Division, and Liang Chao, commander of the Third Infantry Division, both frowned.
Their troops were urgently transferred to the ground by Song Yuhang.
Before leaving, the two of them and Song Yuhang instructed that the recent hoarding of US aid materials in Kunming and the mid-ground flamethrowers were almost wiped out.

As the first mechanized military and the first ace main combat division.
The commander of the First Mechanized Division was silent in the face of Tengchong County.
For perennial release.
The mountains and rainforests of Myanmar are among the most unsuitable areas in the world for mechanized corps operations.
He now has the only tank regiment in his hands that is missing in this environment.
Maintenance goes far beyond mileage.
For a mechanized army.
The intact rate of weapons and equipment is the first combat effectiveness.
For pulling their own mechanized division into the deep mountains and old forests of Burma.
Instead of staying at home, suitable for mechanized troops, suitable for plain battlefields.
Chang Tianfang is also incomprehensible.
So I decided to talk to the military seat later.
Zhou Fucheng and Fang Tian looked at each other.
Zhou Fucheng pointed to Laifeng Mountain and said: "The terrain of this mountain is steep.
It was a permanent fortification built by the Japanese army.
By looking at it from the forefront.
The Japanese army did not transport supplies to the upper mountain through the passage road to the north of the city.
So it is highly likely that there is a dark passage. ” Fang Tian nodded and continued: "Look at this posture, no casualties of the two regiments can go up."
Song Yuhang pointed at Tengchong City with the baton in his hand and said: "After the Japanese army contained the routs everywhere, the Japanese army in Tengchong has more than 15,000 people, and if there is no surprise, it will be impossible to capture Tengchong County in the short term." ” Song Yuhang's basis is that the Battle of Tengchong in history lasted for 42 days from the date of the siege, and more than 9,000 soldiers of the 20th Group Army were killed.
Bloodstained Tengchong.
The second time in history that the Chinese Expeditionary Force sent troops to Burma was to relieve the siege of Imphal and contain the Japanese army, and the second was to open up the connection between the Indo-Burma Highway and the Yunnan-Burma Highway in order to quickly obtain supplies.
At present, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has no possibility of connecting the India-Burma Highway with the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
Purely in order to alleviate the pressure of the Japanese army on the Imphal side, such a situation is extremely unfavorable for the Chinese expeditionary force, and it is already very difficult for the 200,000 troops to rely on the supply operation of the Hump route alone, and before the United States completes the expansion of the Hump route, it only relies on more than 9,000 tons of land supply per month to support the entire Chinese theater, plus the consumption of 200,000 Yunnan-Burma counteroffensive troops The expeditionary force needed a quick victory, and the Japanese troops in the Imphal plateau were facing the same great pressure at this moment with the British and Indian forces.
Facing the western Yunnan roadblock squatting in Tengchong, the tiger hides the heavy Kangmei.
As well as the mountain troops under his command, Song Yuhang actually had a plan and plan that needed to be perfected for a long time, but at this moment, there were many people, and Song Yuhang had to have reservations.
At the tactical level, Song Yuhang believes that the "Black Wind Team" under the command of Zangzhong Kangmei and Zhang Tiansheng's mountain infantry brigade have the strength to fight, and it is still a matter of five to five who will die in the end, but at present, the Tibetan Kangmei Gathering Department is defending Tengchong.
It is precisely the result that Song Yuhang hopes to see the most.
Just like a beast trapped in a beast's lair, the "Black Wind Team" has nothing to worry about.
After the meeting was dismissed, Huo Yuzhang took Zhou Fucheng and Fang Tian to the headquarters of Song Yuhang's First Mechanized Army, Huo Yuzhang put on a classic expression of Corporal Lixian, because everyone attending the meeting could hear that Song Yuhang of the First Mechanized Army seemed to have the tactics of Fuke Tengchong.
Seeing that this situation was even more difficult to deal with, Song Yuhang had to be embarrassed and said: "Brother, I am in contact for this matter, if there is the full cooperation of the 14th Air Force on the allied side."
As long as the number of special ammunition coming from the ground by air is sufficient.
I believe that it is completely possible to take Tengchong, a strategic place in western Yunnan, in a short period of time. ” Huo Yuzhang looked at Song Yuhang suspiciously, and then looked at Zhou Fucheng and Fang Tian.
He hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Song, can you talk about it specifically?"
Song Yuhang nodded seriously.
Stretch out his hand with the palm facing up, and the five fingers make a mountain peak: "Tengchong outside the city of Feng, Feifeng, Feifeng, Feng, Feng four mountains are like my palm, our army wants to take Tengchong must first go to its four fingers, but these four fingers echo each other from afar, our army must attack at the same time, but at this moment, time is of the essence for our army, we are not allowed to follow the step-by-step" Song Yuhang paused, looked around at Zhou Fucheng and Fang Tian, and continued: "I have applied for a special ammunition from the Allied side, this kind of ammunition has an extremely strong combustion effect, which can cause a high temperature of several thousand degrees Celsius in the explosion area at the moment of throwing, and burn the local air, causing the enemy troops in the underground fortifications to suffocate. ” Huo Yuzhang, Zhou Fucheng, and Fang Tian suddenly gasped, the power of the bomb that Song Yuhang said was simply terrifying, they had never even heard of it before.
Song Yuhang is no stranger to thermite napalm incendiary bombs, historically the U.S. military has used a small number of experimental special bombs against Japan in 1943, and the large-scale use occurred in January 1945, the United States Air Force Curtis Lee May Curtiseay Major General was appointed commander of the 21st Bomber Force, and on February 19, the command of the 20th Air Force issued a new order to give priority to the "experimental" incendiary bomb air raid.
On February 23-24, 1945, the U.S. military launched its first large-scale incendiary offensive against Tokyo, and 174 B29 bombers dropped a large amount of napalm in Tokyo that night, burning about 256 square kilometers of Tokyo.
Historically, the performance of the experimental incendiary bombs used by the US military is still very primitive, and the effect is still very average, and the special thermite napalm incendiary bomb codenamed by Song Yuhang has two warheads, which is based on the formula and theory proposed by him himself, using the charge and air combustion to produce local high-temperature suffocation, and its effect is closer to that of a cloud burst bomb.
Although Song Yuhang has not seen the actual use effect, the US side's caution makes him full of confidence, and 1,000 100-kilogram special ammunition is enough to support his entire plan.
And Song Yuhang's plan is:
