Chapter 78 seems to be a big hit!

"Tell us everything. This is a telegram from the Allied Command, hoping that we can capture Tangji." Cun Yunsheng handed the telegram in his hand to everyone, then pointed to the map and said.

"Commander, of course there is only one battalion of Japanese troops in the city. We can take them down with just one charge." Bu La said without thinking.

"You bastard, they're just a battalion of Japs. We've even defeated an entire regiment. Are we still afraid of them?" Li Sifu also echoed.

"Commander, we'll do whatever you say." Li Liansheng always has an expression that says he will do whatever he is told.

"What about Ayi? What do you think?" Cun Yunsheng nodded, then looked at Lin Yi and asked curiously.

Hearing this, Lin Yi scratched his head and spoke after hesitating for a while.

"Commander, how are you going to fight?"

"Oh? What do you think?" Cun Yunsheng stared at the other person and motioned him to continue.

"I think we should transfer the defenders in the city out. That way, there will be fewer casualties in the battle." Lin Yi said after thinking for a while.

"That's just my immature advice."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng chuckled and then said with a smile.

"The Japanese are not fools, and it's not that easy to mobilize them."

"But we can set an ambush for the Japanese army."

As he spoke, Cun Yunsheng told his plan.

"Will the Japanese army be able to fall into the ambush we set up in advance so easily?" Li Sifu asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, the Japanese army will definitely come out." Cun Yunsheng said confidently.

Meng Fanle and Long Wenjian looked at each other and said nothing, because they knew that the Japanese army would definitely come.

After all, the Japanese army has never suffered such a heavy loss since landing in Burma. Now that they have suffered such a heavy loss, they must retaliate.

The others looked at each other and didn't say much. They just had to carry out their mission.

……

The Japanese Army's 56th Search Regiment is a new organization that has stronger mobility and even armored protection capabilities compared to the ordinary infantry regiments of the Japanese Army.

As the name suggests, this unit is responsible for important combat reconnaissance missions, but it does not stop there. It is also responsible for multiple tasks such as combat breakthroughs, combat maneuvers, and combat pursuit.

It can be said that the search wing is a spearhead force. Originally, Watanabe Masao was planning to transfer the 56th Search Wing to Lashio.

Try to capture Lashio as quickly as possible.

Who knew that we would learn that the Sichuan Army had appeared at Tangji Airport.

In order to wash away the shame of the Imperial Army, Watanabe Masao transferred the regiment to Tangji Airport.

"Yes, tell the tank squadron to speed up and get to the airport before dark. Notify the field artillery regiment and ask them to find a way to increase the speed. We must not give the expeditionary force time to react." After reading the telegram, Colonel Uesuke Hirai, commander of the 56th Search Regiment, gave orders to his subordinates.

"Hay."

Colonel Soji Tomi, commander of the 56th Field Artillery Regiment, frowned when he received the telegram.

"Damn it, Mr. Hirai only knows how to urge us. Doesn't he know that the mountain roads are rugged and the march is very slow?" Colonel Souji Tomei said a little annoyed.

"Colonel, what should we do? Colonel Hirai has the order from the division commander." The chief of staff's words made Colonel Souji Tomi very helpless.

After thinking about it, he could only order the troops to speed up, and at the same time sent a telegram to the engineering corps, asking them to find a way to repair the damaged road.

Just as the Japanese army was rushing to Tangji Airport day and night, Cun Yunsheng brought Long Wenjian and others to Colonel Rogers' office.

"Huh, what are you doing here?" Due to the previous unpleasantness between the two sides, Colonel Rogers' attitude was naturally not very good.

It can be said that Colonel Rogers hopes to never see Cun Yunsheng in his entire life.

"Colonel Rogers, we have come here specially to thank you. Now we have received an order to retake Tangji City, so we are here to say goodbye to you." Cun Yunsheng was not angry because of Colonel Rogers' rude attitude. Instead, he smiled.

This made Colonel Rogers feel a little embarrassed, and he wondered if he was being too stingy.

No one cared about this matter anymore, so why should he keep holding on to it? However, his arrogant character made him unable to let go of his pride, so he still had an unwelcome expression.

"Then please leave my airport."

"Okay, we'll leave now. The main reason we came here is to say hello to you as the host. After all, we Chinese people believe in reciprocity." Cun Yunsheng still had a smile on his face, and after he finished speaking, he took Long Wenjian away.

As soon as he got out of the door, his expression changed to a cold one.

"Commander, this Colonel Rogers is really arrogant to the extreme." Long Wenjian was also a little angry and said dissatisfiedly.

"Hmph, why get angry with a dead man? Let everyone set off immediately and call Dong Dao over." Cun Yunsheng snorted coldly and asked Long Wenjian to call Dong Dao over.

Not long after, Dong Dao came running over and saluted Cun Yunsheng when he saw him.

"Commander, you're looking for me?"

"Well, there is something you need to do in person." Cun Yunsheng looked at Dong Dao and spoke directly.

"The troops will leave the airport soon. Pick a few trusted people to stay behind and monitor the airport. Send a telegram immediately if there is any movement."

"Remember, it must be someone you can trust."

"Yes, Commander, I'll let Dong Jian stay. You can trust him to do the job." Dong Dao didn't ask why he stayed to monitor the British army. He just carried out the mission faithfully.

For this reason, Cun Yunsheng was very satisfied.

"Go, tell Dong Jian to be careful. If you find anything wrong, retreat immediately." Cun Yunsheng gave another instruction.

"Yes."

…………

On the hills on both sides of the road leading to the airport in Tangji, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army were busy building fortifications.

The American military instructors were very confused. Shouldn't they take the initiative to attack?
Digging these fortifications now is obviously not for attack, but for defense?
Steve found Cun Yunsheng with a puzzled look on his face and raised his doubts.

"Captain Steve, the best attack is to lure the enemy out." Cun Yunsheng did not explain much, but said with a profound look on his face.

Steve was even more confused now. He always felt that the way the man in front of him fought was too fanciful and did not conform to basic military science at all.

"Lure the enemies in the city out? Will they come out?" Captain Steve expressed his doubts.

In fact, not only him, but others were also confused.

Will the Japanese army come out on their own initiative?
"Don't worry, the Japanese army will definitely come out. I have sent people into the city to spread rumors. The Japanese army will definitely come out." Cun Yunsheng made up a reason to send Captain Steve away.

After all, he is not of our race, so his heart must be different. It is impossible for him to tell him the plan to trap the British army.

If he stabs me up there, I'll be doomed.

After all, harming friendly forces is a serious crime.

Especially since this friendly soldier is a big shot, the crime is even greater.

When Captain Steve returned to the fortifications to instruct the soldiers on how to dig the fortifications, he heard several gunshots coming from the other direction around the corner of the road.

As the gunshots got closer, suddenly, the sound of a car was heard, which made Steve realize instantly that the Japanese army was coming.

At the same time, I was also very shocked. Were the Japanese troops really lured out?
How on earth did he do it?
Suddenly, he felt that he could not understand the man in front of him at all.

Very mysterious, as if he has countless secrets.

"Get ready for battle." Without Cun Yunsheng's orders, soldiers from various battalions and companies entered their positions, loaded their guns, and lay down in the trenches.

Cun Yunsheng also lay on the trench, picked up the telescope and began to observe, while feeling very confused.

"So fast?"

"Commander, they shouldn't be the Japanese army." Long Wenjian had very sharp eyes and he immediately realized that they were not the Japanese army, but his own people.

"It seems like he's one of us." Lin Yi also said.

"He's really one of us." Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but frown when he saw the expeditionary army uniforms through the telescope.

"Strange, why are there our own people here?"

"Forget it, tell the battalions and companies not to shoot and let them pass."

"Yes." The messenger immediately waved the flag and conveyed the order through flag signals.

The orders were passed down one by one, and all the soldiers turned off the safety again.

Sure enough, after a while, several cars were seen driving towards this side, and there were soldiers on them shooting behind them.

There were five cars in total, all packed with people.

You can imagine how panicked they were when they ran away.

Since the Sichuan Army was digging fortifications on the top of the mountain and the positions were camouflaged with weeds and trees, the fleeing soldiers did not notice the ambush.

"It seems to be from the Provisional 55th Division." Long Wenjian immediately recognized these defeated soldiers and said in surprise.

"Strange, weren't they beaten and fled in all directions? Why are they still here?"

"Let Dong Dao take people to the back and find a way to stop these people." Cun Yunsheng did not answer his question, but gave orders.

"Yes."

"It looks like there are Japanese pursuers behind us. It looks like we are quite lucky that we encountered the Japanese so soon." Lin Yi also spoke at this time.

"Commander, do you want to destroy this group of Japanese troops?"

"No, let them go and don't attract the attention of the Japanese army. I have a big appetite and I can't satisfy these Japanese soldiers." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

The Japanese troops pursuing them were at most a small team, which would expose their intentions. He would definitely not do such a deal.

"Yes." Lin Yi said with some regret.

As expected, a small group of Japanese soldiers also chased them in trucks, and the two sides were shooting at each other all the time.

However, the Japanese army's trucks were equipped with machine guns, which made the fleeing soldiers in front unable to raise their heads.

As this small group of Japanese troops passed through the ambush circle, they soon heard bursts of roars behind them.

Cun Yunsheng, Long Wenjian and others looked at each other.

"Could it be the main force of the Japanese army?" Lin Yi murmured.

Leading the way were a few sidecars with plaster flags flying, followed by a Type 95 light tank, and further back were Type 96 tanks, as well as the Japanese whose convoy could not be seen clearly.

Seeing so many devils, everyone gasped.

Have we encountered the main force of the Japanese?
Long Wenjian, Lin Yi and others all looked at Cun Yunsheng, as if asking whether they should shoot.

"Wait a little longer." Cun Yunsheng shook his head, signaling everyone not to be impatient.

I have to say, these Japs were really arrogant. The tank commander directly exposed half of his body, not caring at all whether he would be shot from behind.

But this is not clear either. After all, the Japanese army swept through Burma and had no opponents at all.

Even if they were an expeditionary force, they crushed the other side.

Such behavior is normal.

"Commander, is this group of Japanese troops heading for the airport?" Long Wenjian couldn't help but guess as he looked at the Japanese convoy advancing in the distance.

"You're right, it's really possible. It seems that the Japanese army attaches great importance to us. They have almost an entire regiment here, right?" Cun Yunsheng said with a smack of his lips.

He also felt that the Japanese army's firepower was a bit excessive. With tanks, armored vehicles and so on, it was obvious that this was not an ordinary infantry regiment.

"Commander, should we send a telegram to the British troops at the airport, telling them that the Japanese troops are coming and asking them to prepare in advance?" Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

Only Cun Yunsheng looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Do you think the British army will believe what we say?"

　I am late, mainly because I have some troubles, I will update first and then make changes! There is more to come, I will try not to eat and write more!
