For the Japanese army to attack Lashio, or to break through into the Baoshan area from Lashio, Liu Yang had expected and prepared for a long time. In fact, he had already expected the dispersal of the 92nd Division and the newly organized 26th Brigade from the very beginning. It is possible that the Japanese army will attack the Baoshan area.
Although I don't want to bring the flames of war into the country, in order to eliminate the little devils, sometimes we can't have both, so Liu Yang has already sent people to Baoshan to make arrangements carefully, and is going to dig a big hole.
The terrain of Baoshan area is complex, all of which are mountainous terrain. In addition, the Lancang River, Nujiang River, and Irrawaddy River pass through directly, and most of them are covered by forests.
Baoshan is rich in mineral resources. Liu Yang sent people to help make gunpowder in Baoshan area. Because explosives are constantly being made, gunpowder is made. Sufficient gunpowder is enough. These days, as long as there is money, the common people are willing to cooperate. People in the secret service camp hoard A large batch of gunpowder was collected.
Because there are not many troops in the Baoshan area, in order to increase the defense force, they did not do the main defense in Baoshan at all. Instead, they chose a mountainous area around Baoshan. They set up ambushes on the roads most likely to pass by the Japanese army, creating a large number of soldiers. The invincible cannon, that is, the cannon transformed from an oil barrel, specializes in throwing explosives, of course it is gunpowder here.
In Tengchong County in Baoshan, according to the order of iron ore resources, the spy battalion bought a large amount of scrap iron here, many of which are iron pots that are not very useful in ordinary people's homes, or some agricultural tools, which were collected and beaten into iron. pieces, and then added to the gunpowder bag, once it explodes, it can cover a radius of tens of meters.
In addition, the common people were encouraged to dig animal traps in the surrounding woods, and with the news that the Japanese devils were coming, the common people in Baoshan were mobilized. Although not everyone supported it, most of them definitely supported it. People in Baoshan are familiar with digging pits and setting traps.
There are many mountains and forests in Baoshan. Naturally, every household has the habit of hunting. They go to the mountains all the year round. They are very familiar with the surrounding forests and how to set traps for catching animals.
In short, before the arrival of the Japanese army, he had already made enough preparations, and Liu Yang also prepared a big fire, cutting out a firebreak around the location where the Japanese army might pass, and using several rivers as the boundary, almost hundreds of meters away. The fire belt, even the grass has been removed, and at the same time, cypress trees that are easy to burn are planted in the woods. Just wait for the little devil to enter these woods, and he will surprise the little devil with a fire.
Following the 33rd Division's attack on Lashio, Liu Yang knew that the Japanese army would not be able to enter Baoshan for too long, so he urged the brothers even more to quickly set up a few fire belts to ensure that the little devil would never come back.
This is the result of the hard work of tens of thousands of ordinary people. Of course, the spy battalion also spent a lot of money, at least to pay the ordinary people wages. In Liu Yang's words, fighting is money for fighting, and whoever has more money wins. For example, the few in Baoshan A fire belt, those cypresses were all found by ordinary people, and they didn't ask money from the spy camp at all, they just collected a little wages.
In the final analysis, Liu Yang did not intend to prevent the Japanese army from entering Baoshan at all, or to lure the Japanese army into Baoshan on purpose. Liu Yang could also think of what Yanagida Yuansan could think of. It's better than Baoshan being harmed by the Japanese army once there is a problem.
On December 6, the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army broke through the direction of Nansan, but did not continue to attack Lashio, but rushed directly towards Nankan and Muse. Suddenly depressed, I always feel that something is wrong there, because it broke through Nansan, the purpose is already obvious, Liu Yang didn't let anyone chase him.
Liu Yang had a conspiracy, Liu Tian Yuansan was the first to guess like this, the closer he got to Nankan, the more he felt that this was the case, but he couldn't guess what conspiracy Liu Yang had, did he ambush someone in front to stop him?
But in this wilderness, as long as he is not determined to confront the enemy, Liu Yang can't do it even if he wants to ambush himself. Sacrifice a little, but you will encounter it soon. As long as it is not an elite like the secret service battalion, it is not certain who will win. If it is an enemy like the Southern Independence Army, it will be defeated by yourself.
Yanagita Genzo avoids offensive and defensive battles with the enemy. As long as any enemy is not too bad, using the fortifications is enough to cause heavy losses to the imperial army. Liutian Yuanzo will not take that kind of risk.
It¡¯s just that Yanagida Yuanzo doesn¡¯t really understand the situation of Baoshan and Dehong. He doesn¡¯t know that there are several places that cannot be bypassed when entering Dehong from Burma and entering Baoshan from Dehong. Put on the fire belt and wait for the little devil to come to the door.
Even if they saw a change, the Japanese army estimated that it would be difficult to think of the fire, Baoshan and Dehong.?There are too many forests, and they are too common. In addition, the transplanted cypress trees have been treated, and it is easy to not notice that they have just been planted.
The Japanese broke through Nansan's defense and headed towards Nankan and Mujie. They thought the enemy would intercept them, but the enemy had no intention of intercepting them except to strengthen their defenses. The 33rd Division passed smoothly. , On the morning of the third day, I arrived at Nankan.
I repaired it from Nankan, and at the same time needed to observe the enemy's situation, and sent a regiment to Muse in advance to snatch the bridge in the hands of the enemy. The bridge makes it easier to cross the river.
On the Chain Bridge in Muse, there are two companies of defensive troops. Although the troops are small, they are the elite of the 92nd Division. At the same time, there are six cannons, more than a dozen machine guns and four heavy machine guns, which can completely block it. bridge.
The brothers of the 92nd Division established a defensive base on the steep north side, which is in the territory of China, and built fortifications, as well as watchtowers, and cut down all the trees hundreds of meters around to open up the field of vision. Get up and guard against the Japanese army's sneak attack from around.
In order to forcefully cross the chain bridge, the Japanese army needs to fill it with human lives. It may be impossible for thousands of people to pass. After all, no matter how many Japanese troops are on the river bank hundreds of meters wide, all they can do is wait and see and launch an attack. There is only a chain bridge of more than two meters.
The Japanese army set up cannons and set up their formation, but they hesitated. It is true that the enemy is on the other side of the bridge, but they are too close to the chain bridge. Once a shell hits the chain bridge, the Japanese army will cry. Without land, coupled with the concrete bunker fortifications built by the enemy, it is by no means easy to blow up.
Those bunker fortifications were built on the mountain, taking advantage of the mountain. If you want to hit it, you need very precise shelling, so you have to test the level of the Japanese army. As long as there is an error, if you hit the chain bridge, you will definitely create difficulties for yourself.
As long as a bunker is not blown up, the Japanese army will never think about it. This kind of narrow chain bridge only needs a machine gun, and even tens of thousands of people can't even think about it.
Liu Tian Yuansan looked at the several blockhouses at the bridgehead on the opposite bank, but he never dared to order to fire lightly. Those blockhouses were built by the enemy with concrete and then wrapped in stones. It would take a lot of cannons to explode. On a fixed iron cable, the iron cable directly submerged into the bunker.
If the iron chain is blown up, no matter how it goes, it is impossible for a 15,000-man army to swim across the river, not to mention the cannons and other supplies to be transported.
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the hateful enemy has installed explosives on the chain bridge. If you want to cross the bridge, you must dismantle the explosives, but how can the enemy give you a chance, but the enemy's bunker has several guns The mouth is very tricky, you can't see it at all, but it just controls the bridge deck.
No wonder Liu Yang didn't intercept in Lashio. It would cost too much to intercept in Lashio, but here, only two companies are needed to intercept tens of thousands of Japanese troops. The key is to make himself helpless.
"Have someone remove the explosives on the bridge¡ª" Liu Tian Yuansan had a gloomy face, and finally had to send someone to remove the explosives, but before that, Liu Tian Yuansan gritted his teeth: "Ordering the artillery to suppress the bunker on the other side, a base bombardment¡ª¡±
"Hi Yi¡ª¡ª" the messenger responded, and then went down to convey the order. It didn't take long for the cannon to rang, and it crashed on the bridgehead on the opposite bank, blowing up puffs of thick smoke.
Supported by the sound of cannons, the Japanese engineers rushed up the chain bridge quickly, walking on it wobbly, and easily fell down if they ran too fast. Some Japanese soldiers who fell couldn't hold the chain, and plunged into it directly. Into the Nujiang River, it was instantly submerged by the surging river water.
However, more engineers rushed forward. As long as they arrived at a place where the explosives were placed, they would lie down and dismantle the explosives. They were completely risking their lives. Not to mention the possibility of explosive explosions, even the bullets fired would make the engineers They feel hopeless.
Whether you are running fast or climbing forward a little bit, as soon as you get on the bridge, life is no longer in their control. Every shot of the enemy will take away a life. At this time, life is so precious It is worthless.
A total of more than a hundred people were thrown into it, but only two bombs were dismantled, and the advance was less than 30 meters. In order to advance, the engineers even had to push the corpse down to buy time and save a little bit of human life. move forward.
Seeing the constant death, Liutian Yuansan's expression remained unchanged, he waved to the chief of staff, and then lowered his voice: "Arrange people to cross the river from the upper reaches, and then sneak attack on the bridge to create opportunities as much as possible."
"Understood. Don't worry, division commander. I'll go down and make arrangements." The chief of staff nodded. If no one is sent to cross the river, then this chain bridge will be the destination of the 33rd division. Watching helplessly.
