October 7, 1943 was an extremely difficult day for the British and the Chinese Expeditionary Force!

Song Yuhang, who arrived at the headquarters excitedly to meet Wei Lihuang, found that everyone's expressions were very solemn and there was no sign of joy at all. Moreover, the headquarters guard regiment was retreating the red flowers used for decoration in the venue. The careful Song Yuhang did not find Song Xilian and the commanders of the 11th Group Army among the many generals?

Song Yuhang, who had been in the headquarters for a long time, was thinking about asking Wei Lihuang for something based on the principle of not leaving the empty space. Before he could take a few glances, he was discovered by Deputy Commander Huang Qixiang. Huang Qixiang smiled and said, "My Commander Song, don't look for it. Now all good things have passed through the Kunming Garrison Command to go to your First Mechanized Army. This great Expeditionary Force Command is almost a beggar's nest. You are holding a golden bowl and still thinking about beggar's supper. I'm not very kind!"

How could Song Yuhang not understand what Huang Qixiang said? So he immediately smiled and said, "My Deputy Commander-in-Chief! The conscience of heaven and earth! Brother American aid supplies, I am diligent! I dare not make any deviations. Your decent deputy commander-in-Chief even shaves my oil. If you say it, you are afraid that you will be laughed at by outside."

"Bad! You little bastard!"

Huang Qixiang said with a tense face: "I don't care. Tomorrow you can contact Kunming, two American jeeps, a roadway strip, and get me a Chevrolet, the best black one, and then send a platoon of guards. My sister-in-law wants to play in Kunming for a few days. You are responsible for safety and entertainment. When you leave, the two jeeps will be sent to them."

Huang Qixiang gave her a sigh. Although it was just two American jeeps, Song Yuhang felt uncomfortable all over, so he leaned forward with a flattering smile and lit a cigarette for Huang Qixiang and said, "No problem, Deputy Commander-in-Chief, I will definitely take good care of you!"

Huang Qixiang nodded with satisfaction. Seeing that Song Yuhang had no intention of leaving, Huang Qixiang said bluntly: "Tell me what you want, right?"

Song Yuhang smiled and said, "I heard that more than 300 new graduates from military academy have been assigned. How about giving me one hundred?"

"one hundred?"

Huang Qixiang glared at Song Yuhang, "The entire expeditionary army has only 300 people. Can you still add to one hundred others? You are saying that your first mechanized army is a wandering household. You may go wherever you will go tomorrow! Thirty. Do you want love?"

Three cars were replaced by thirty military academy students. Huang Qixiang took the initiative to send the business to the door, making both of them feel that they had made a lot of money. Song Yuhang got the officers he needed to supplement. Huang Qixiang did the work for his sister-in-law and also ended with a Chevrolet that he thought about for a long time. The Expeditionary Force was only Wei Lihuang who had a Chevrolet car history.

The meeting was held normally. Wei Lihuang, Huang Qixiang and others entered the venue one after another. Song Yuhang, Fang Tian and others stood up to salute. The depressing atmosphere of the meeting made Song Yuhang feel unpleasant. The military throne below was also looking at each other with ghost heads and toads.

Wei Lihuang said with a gloomy face: "I will make a mistake in the world. I will make people in the world laugh at me. I will lose all the faces of Chinese soldiers. The 11th Army's reputation is ruined."

Sure enough, an accident happened when Song Xilian's 11th Army conquered Longling!

On the evening of October 5, the main forces of the 87th, 88th Divisions and the 6th Army New 39th Division had already broken into Longling City. After a day and night of fierce fighting, the remaining Japanese troops shrank and occupied more than ten isolated strongholds in the city.

On the evening of October 6, after receiving the news that the 20th Army's troops were restored to Tengchong, Song Xilian sent a telegram to the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force's commander-in-chief, despite the fact that the remaining Japanese troops in the city had not yet been cleared, he said that Longling had been restored. However, in the early morning of October 7, the main force of the Japanese Second Division suddenly appeared 10 kilometers west of Longling City.

The main force of the Japanese Second Division cooperated with the first part of the 56th Division to launch an attack on the 87th Division, 88th Division and the New 3rd Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the mainland of Longling City.

The Japanese army, which had not yet been cleared in the city, also began to counterattack frequently. The major reversal of the situation in Longling caught Song Xilian off guard, and the intelligence department of the Chinese Expeditionary Force did not notice the secret deployment and detour of the Japanese Second Division. This led to the extremely passive battle situation in Longling.

The recurrence of the Longling war is actually very normal. The war is extremely unknown and unpredictable. But the failure lies in the Chongqing side's publicity that the restoration of Longling has been carried out in a big way. The chairman raised his glass to celebrate the recovery of Longling the day before, but just one day after Longling fell? Isn't this openly slapping him, Mr. Jiang?

Chairman Jiang, who was furious in front of allies and the news media, shouted that he would severely punish the person responsible for losing Longling and to punish him as a warning.

The most depressing thing about the reversal of Longling's battle situation was Song Xilian, who made the principal lose face and still had good results? Thinking of the principal's thunder and thunder, Song Xilian hurriedly thought about countermeasures, but it was raining again. Although the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which was unable to fight, resisted step by step after withdrawing from Longling City, the Japanese army had no intention of stopping at all. They rushed and attacked, and beat the 87th Division, 88th Division and the New 39th Division commanded by Song Xilian.

Just as Wei Lihuang was worried about how to support the 11th Army in rapid capture of Longling!

Tengchong's failure made Masazo Watanabe so angry. In his opinion, it was already a great gift to let the Chinese army hudden in Kunming survive for a few days. These ignorant Chinese people dared to make trouble behind the Japanese army?

Especially those Chinese troops who fled to India, who were once defeated generals under the Imperial Army, they dared to send a division deep into the primitive jungle of northern Myanmar to launch a fierce attack on the 18th Division that was defending the Hukang Valley and the Menggong Valley.

"This is absolutely unforgivable!" Watanabe Masazo howled and threw a teapot on the wall.

Although the Chinese Expeditionary Force rushed down to Tengchong, Watanabe Masazo was not in a hurry at all, because he saw a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The Chinese army that captured Tengchong was stuck in western Yunnan by the solid fortress of Songshan. Once the Imperial Army that penetrated deep into Impal was victorious, then the more than 200,000 troops that crossed the Nujiang River to attack Songshan would die without a burial place.

A bold and arrogant plan emerged in the mind of Masazo Watanabe. He used airborne troops to regain Tengchong. The Chinese army had just occupied Tengchong for a while. And immediately concentrated its forces to try to capture Songshan and open the road to Myanmar. Then the defense of Tengchong, an important logistics supply base for the Chinese army, should be very relaxed.

If the surprise attack is successful, it will be the second copy of "Surprise Attack on Lashio, the Battle of Eight Moses"! The Myanmar Front will achieve a decisive and brilliant victory. Thinking of this, Masasa, the riverside, couldn't help but feel excited.

In order to change the paratrooper brigade's very inferior airborne performance, the Jiumi brigade headquarters, which received the order to serve as the Tengchong airborne operation, quickly formulated a new airborne combat plan: launch the first wave of airborne assault with 1,850 main force of the first echelon, first occupying the field airport outside Tengchong County, and then attacking the Laifeng Mountain Highlands and cutting off the retreat of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Then, 1,650 people from the second echelon were launched for the second wave of assault. They occupied the mainland supply center of Tengchong County, and then went south to develop an offensive. In order to ensure the smooth capture of the airport, the Jiumi Brigade also organized a 124-man commando, carrying eight light and heavy machine guns and six mortars to land directly at the airport to cover and cooperate with subsequent airborne.

The entire plan is perfect, and the ambitious Japanese airborne troops are determined to create a "miracle" in the history of world airborne in Tengchong.

In order to ensure the smooth implementation of airborne operations, the Japanese Southern Army Command also strengthened the equipment of paratroopers' individual weapons, replaced the originally equipped single-shot rifles with German submachine guns with strong firepower, and equipped the Japanese army's little-known 100-type submachine guns for the first time.

The gun started to be developed as early as 1935. Later, it was denied by the Japanese base camp that the cost was too high, "wasting ammunition" and affected the "performance of the Bushido spirit". Finally, after several tosses, it was finalized and produced in 1940 and "decided" to distribute it to the airborne troops.

At the same time, Lieutenant General Koree, the commander of the 5th Flight Division of the Japanese Army, was also ordered to command and support the airborne operation.

On October 10, Lieutenant General, the commander of the 5th Flying Division, received an order, and the Jiumi Paratrooper Brigade carried out airborne operations against Tengchong at dawn the next day.

On October 11, a very important day for the Chinese. On this day, it was still dark. At the airport covered by night, the first batch of new Japanese "Zero" fighters serving as air cover began to enter the runway. The motors on the entire airport roared and deafening. The paratrooper transport aircraft group waiting for the takeoff signal was also slowly moving on the airport runway like giant pythons.

As three green signal flares emerged from the tower, one after another, the Zero fighter jets quickly took off.

However, this day seemed destined to be a day when the two "Hundred-Shi" reconnaissance planes returned to the airport made the wrong direction in the dark sky. The airport command did not allow the reconnaissance planes to land on the backup runway in accordance with regulations, but eventually collided head-on with the group of "Zero" fighters that had just taken off on the same runway.

The two exploded in the air on the spot. After the other two collided, they fell to the airport together, and a huge fire suddenly ignited, causing several other planes to be buried in the fire before taking off, as well as nearby guards and field personnel.

For a moment, the fire extinguishing and ambulance screamed, and the entire airport suddenly became a mess. The little lieutenant general, who claimed to be unstoppable, was also stunned by the accident. He finally recovered and hurriedly commanded the Japanese army to restore order and urgently clear out the runway, but the airborne takeoff time was delayed by two hours.

At this time, the anxious lieutenant general ordered the takeoff again, and the first batch of 92 transport planes loaded with paratroopers finally took off one after another in a chaotic situation.

What was unexpected then was that when the crew entered Tengchong and prepared to airborne, they found that the entire airborne area was filled with white fog barriers, and there was almost nothing but the black tops of the mountain.

Due to the heavy fog, the pilots were unable to find the target on the ground, so the entire fleet had to fight "circle battles" in vain in the air, trying to find the opportunity for airborne, but the God who was against it did not dissipate the fog.

In desperation, the lieutenant general had to desperately order the cancellation of the original airborne combat plan and order all the parachutes to return immediately. Unexpectedly, man-made disasters arose on the way back.

First, two transport planes accidentally "kissed" and collided in the air. One of them fell head-on at that time, and the other was injured and struggled to the death in the air. The crews on board rushed to parachute and plunged into the uninhabited "Savage Mountain" in the local area, and soon became a sacrifice for the Savage Mountain.

When the fleet flew to the airport, another transport plane suddenly caught fire for some reason, and the plane exploded during an emergency landing, causing none of the crew and the paratroopers on board to survive.

However, the bad luck of the Japanese paratroopers did not end here. In the evening, when the paratroopers who returned without success came to the cafeteria to have dinner, a return fighter plane rushed out of the runway due to mechanical failure and plunged into the paratrooper officer canteen after breaking through the wall, causing nearly dozens of dining officers to die on the spot.
