    In the distance, there is the Japanese military headquarters.

    Two tricycles opened the way, followed by two armored vehicles, and finally several large trucks, coming from the other end of the valley along the dirt road, and soon stopped in the open space of the valley basin.

    Seeing the convoy approaching, many Japanese soldiers stood at attention and saluted. Several Japanese officers even jogged all the way, opened the doors of the two armored vehicles with respectful expressions, and got out of them several senior Japanese officers and a Japanese middleman.  General, a Japanese major general and two Japanese colonels.

    Seeing this scene, the commander of the reconnaissance company in the distance who was paying attention to the situation here was slightly excited. Unexpectedly, this valley was actually a Japanese division-level headquarters. This time, he picked up a big fish.

    This is indeed a Japanese division headquarters. One of the several Japanese divisions stationed in Lashio, the Little Devil's 22nd Division headquarters is stationed here.

    The 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, one of the Class A divisions, is one of the few Class A divisions of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia. Two years ago, the 22nd Division was still a Class B division, and was later upgraded and expanded into a Class A division.  Division, headed by Japanese Lieutenant General Jiro Imamura.

    The Japanese army deployed the 22nd Division and the 57th Division on the northern periphery of Lashio in order to prevent the Chinese Army from moving south. Jiro Imamura also moved his division headquarters from the city to this hidden valley in order to facilitate frontline command.  .

    Now, Jiro Imamura, who has a serious expression, is returning from an inspection on the front line. The war on the front line is not going well, which makes Jiro Imamura's heart heavy. Jiro Imamura never expected that he would have a Class A division.  In addition, the cooperation of the 57th Division also failed to stop the progress of the Chinese Army.  At present, the Chinese team is making smooth progress.

    After Jiro Imamura got out of the car, he led a group of little Japanese officers into the largest tent without stopping.

    *********

    The First Regiment of the Second Infantry Division of the 1st Group Army.

    Captain He has already received the report. He never expected that he would find a very hidden headquarters of the Japanese army on his marching route, and it might be a headquarters above the regiment level.

    Captain He thought to himself.  If it were a Japanese army brigade-level headquarters, it would be a huge profit. The brigade-level headquarters had at least one Japanese Major General. Being able to kill a Japanese Major General would be a great achievement. Thinking of this, He Tuan  Chang was slightly excited.

    "First battalion commander! Second battalion commander! Third battalion commander!"

    "Here!" Hearing his regimental commander calling him, the three battalion commanders not far away immediately trotted over.  They all said in unison: "Captain! What are your instructions?"

    Commander He signaled his guards to open the military map they carried with them, then pointed at the map and said: "First battalion commander, lead your battalion to quietly go around here and attack from this end of the valley.  , there is a large Japanese military headquarters in the valley. Don¡¯t be careless.¡±

    Hearing that there was a large headquarters, the battalion commander immediately said loudly: "Captain! Don't worry, we will definitely complete the mission you deployed beautifully."

    "Second Battalion Commander! Your mission is to attack from the other side of the valley."

    The second battalion commander next to him had already brightened up. He was naturally very excited when he learned that there was a large Japanese army headquarters.  Immediately said: "Captain! We will beat the little devil to a pulp."

    Commander He nodded, then looked at the hilltop next to him, which was no more than two or three hundred meters high, and said, "Soldiers from the third battalion are coming with me. Everyone climbs up the hilltop, rushes down the valley, and together we command the Japanese army here.  The ministry brought it to me."

    The third battalion also shouted: "Yes!"

    Now, the location of the first regiment is only separated from the Japanese headquarters by a mountain, separated by a mountain ridge, which is only two or three hundred meters high.

    The terrain of this north-south mountain range is gentle and there are sparse shrubs on the mountain. It is very easy to climb to the top of the mountain. Commander He personally led the third battalion and the troops directly under the regiment. It only took them half an hour to climb the mountain.  to the top of the mountain.

    Standing on the top of the mountain, hidden behind a bush, Commander He took his telescope and carefully observed the bottom of the valley not far away. Commander He was condescending and could see clearly that it was indeed a large headquarters.  , there were more than a dozen large and small tents, and at least a dozen large trucks and three or four armored vehicles were parked in the valley basin.

    In addition, the number of Japs patrolling the open space is not small, at least several hundred. Looking at the scale and based on experience, Commander He felt that it should be at least a Japs brigade-level headquarters, and possibly a Japanese headquarters.  Military division headquarters.

    Division headquarters!  Thinking about it, Captain He was very excited.

    After finally calming down his excitement, Commander He took a telescope and saw that the first and second battalions had reached the entrances and exits on both sides of the valley. They had succeeded.Blocking this valley, the Japanese troops in the valley became trapped in a jar.

    "Commander of the third battalion, use all the mortars in your battalion to bombard the Japanese headquarters at the bottom of the valley."

    The bottom of the valley, about a few hundred meters from the top of the mountain, is within the firing range of 60mm mortars. Not only is the third battalion equipped with 18 60mm mortars, but a directly subordinate mortar company is also equipped with 12 81mm mortars.  gun.

    Soon, these mortars were set up on the top of the mountain. The mortars have very low terrain requirements. Even on the top of the mountain, they are easy to set up. 18 60mm mortars and 12 81mm artillery cannons have been set up one after another.

    "Give me orders, send out flares, and get ready to fight!"

    A dazzling signal bomb rose into the sky. Almost all the soldiers in the entire regiment saw it. Of course, the Japanese troops in the valley also saw it.

    The Japanese soldiers at the bottom of the valley saw a signal bomb suddenly rising from the top of the mountain. These Japanese soldiers were nervous. A young Japanese major even raised his telescope immediately and hurriedly looked at the top of the mountain not far away.

    At first glance, the young Japanese Major almost dropped his telescope on the ground. A large number of Chinese soldiers loomed on the top of the mountain. If it were not for the telescope, the young Japanese would not have been able to spot the soldiers on the top of the mountain. The soldiers were all wearing field camouflage.  It is very secluded under the cover of trees and shrubs.

    "Baga! They are all from the Chinese ** team!"

    As soon as the little devil Major finished shouting angrily, a large and sharp roar sounded almost at the same time, and a total of 30 mortars on the top of the mountain began to unleash their power.

    "Boom, boom, boom"

    Dense mortar shells exploded in the valley basin one after another. The 10 rapid fires from 30 mortars were very terrifying. The mortar shells were simply overwhelming.

    Many Japs were blown away before they could react. Several trucks parked in the basin were also blown up. One of the Japs' armored vehicles was also blown up. This armored vehicle was hit by several mortar shells.  hit.

    Several tents of the Japs were also destroyed. Jiro Imamura, the leader of the Japs division, was lucky. The big tent where Jiro Imamura was was not hit by the bomb.

    "Your Excellency, Division Commander! Retreat quickly!"

    A little Japanese colonel was not slow to react. Thinking of the overwhelming explosions outside, the little Japanese colonel immediately persuaded them to retreat. From such a dense explosion, you can guess that the person who came here is evil.

    Imamura Jiro immediately stepped on his command sword and hurried out of the tent. As soon as he left the tent, Imamura Jiro heard several explosions coming from behind him, and his big tent was blown away.

    Imamura Jiro broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted: "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

    At this time, loud shouts rang out from the top of the mountain, and hundreds of soldiers rushed down one after another with weapons in hand.

    Seeing so many soldiers rushing down, the little devils were so frightened that their faces turned pale. The same happened to Jiro Imamura, who turned a little pale.

    Jiro Imamura staggered and ran towards an armored vehicle not far away in embarrassment. At this time, the shelling on the top of the mountain had ended, and one of the Japanese armored vehicles had not been destroyed. Jiro Imamura obviously took a fancy to this armored vehicle.  , prepare to use this armored vehicle to escape.

    The two ends of the valley also sounded the shocking shouts. The first battalions and the second battalion soldiers also rushed over with weapons. The soldiers shot while charge, and the little devils resisted were killed.

    Seeing that there were a large number of Chinese soldiers in the valleys on both sides, Imamura Jiro ran faster and led a group of Japanese officers to the armored vehicle in the distance.

    The distance is more than 100 meters. Why is it so far today? Imamura Jiro wished he could run to this armored vehicle as soon as possible, then board the armored vehicle and drive at full speed to carve out a bloody road.

    With great difficulty, Imamura Jiro ran to the armored vehicle. Imamura Jiro quickly opened the door, rolled and crawled in, and said in a hurry: "Quick! Open the way quickly."

    The driver of the Imp also got in and immediately started the armored vehicle after receiving the order. The rest of the Imp officers who ran over with Jiro Imamura included a major general, two colonels, and several lieutenants and majors.  .

    A group of little Japanese officers, completely ignoring the armored vehicle that had already started, kept getting in. Soon, the armored vehicle was packed tightly, and at least seven or eight people got in. A group of little Japanese officers,  Like stuffed sardines.

    There were also some junior and middle-level officers who could not get in, so they desperately climbed onto the roof of the car or hung on the car. Now, it was crucial for the young Japs to escape.

    In the distance, a soldier is carrying a 40mm gunThe quiver was aimed at the armored vehicle. Seeing many little Japanese officers hanging outside the armor, the soldier couldn't help but laugh. At the same time, he calmly took aim and fired a rocket.
