Chapter 526: Attacking the Japanese Rear Area

526 Raid on the Japanese Rear Area

Ye Qingshan then ordered the special operations regiment and the armored regiment to stand by and rest in Yenangyaung temporarily.

After the two regiments of soldiers worked hard for most of the night, the fire in the Japanese supply camp they occupied was finally put out.

They were also able to rescue a lot of military supplies captured from the Japanese.

These military supplies were originally intended to be sent to Mandalay by the Japanese for their 15th Army.

Now, it's actually a good deal for the expeditionary force.

"Captain, the day's results and casualties have been tallied."

Before dawn, Black Bear also received a summary of the day's battle results from his men.

"explain."

"During the daytime battle, our two regiments wiped out more than 2,300 Japanese soldiers, and our regiment suffered more than 400 casualties.

The armored regiment lost more than 500 people, as well as four tanks and seven armored vehicles.

In terms of battle results, our regiment destroyed the Japanese airport and blew up thirty Japanese fighter planes.

From the supply base, we seized a large number of weapons and ammunition from the Japanese, enough to equip a fully-staffed division.

This was even after a large number of weapons and ammunition were destroyed by the Japanese before they left.

In addition to weapons and ammunition, we also seized food, medicine, gauze, oil and other supplies.

It is more than enough to fill the gap in supplies for our two regiments."

The major officer who was reporting was also grinning from ear to ear.

The Japanese headquarters prepared this batch of supplies to support the Japanese 15th Army, which was enough to supply military supplies to tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers.

The number was so huge that even though the battle was fought during the day, most of them were destroyed.

But the remaining ones were the small ones that they rescued.

For the more than 5,000 people in the armored regiment and special operations regiment, it is enough for a long time.

"So, with these captured Japanese ammunition and supplies.

We have absolutely no need to get supplies from the rear.

Then you can continue fighting.

Especially the armored regiment, after replenishing the captured fuel, it should be able to continue the long-distance raid."

Black Bear asked this after listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Uh, that should be fine."

"Captain, what do you think?"

The major officer looked at the meaningful smile on Black Bear's face and asked some puzzled questions.

Based on his understanding of his leader, when Black Bear showed this smile.

It is often when the leader of one's own group wants to cause trouble.

“I have a bold idea.

Let’s go find Captain Hu.”

Black Bear didn't say anything, he just stood up and went to find Hu Xianqun with the major.

"What? Captain Chen?

You are crazy, do you know what you are talking about?"

Half a day later, Hu Xianqun was at the temporary headquarters of his armored regiment, staring at the black bear with wide eyes and an expression of disbelief.

To be honest, he was scared by the new plan that Black Bear just proposed to him.

Not only Hu Xianqun, but also several officers from other armored regiments nearby showed expressions of shock.

"Hey, Captain Hu.

Of course I know what I'm talking about.

Don't you think this is a good plan?

If we succeed, our two groups might be able to end this battle together.

By then, you and I will be among the greatest contributors to this battle."

Black Bear seemed to have anticipated that Hu Xianqun and others would have such expressions after hearing his words.

Hehehe laughed and continued to speak seductively.

But in my heart, I was complaining: A bunch of old men, yet so timid.

"No, no, this plan is too risky.

I can’t make the decision.”

After a moment, Hu Xianqun waved his hand and rejected Black Bear's risky plan.

"It's okay, I just came to tell you.

Let you prepare in advance.

I have already reported this new plan to the headquarters.

The commander will definitely give me an answer before dawn.

I believe the commander will support my new plan of action."

Black Bear said confidently.

He still knew Ye Qingshan.

"Even if the headquarters really agrees with your action plan, I still need to receive the order from our army commander."

Hu Xianqun would not really hand over his armored regiment to Ye Qingshan for blind command.

Unless Ye Qingshan can convince Du Yuming and let Du Yuming give them orders directly.

But Hu Xianqun felt that Du Yuming was unlikely to agree to Black Bear's plan.

As the only armored regiment in the expeditionary force, it was Du Yuming's favorite.

Du Yuming would not easily let them carry out such a risky combat operation.

"Then we can only wait for news."

Black Bear disagreed. He believed that his commander could definitely deal with Du Yuming.

At this time, Ye Qingshan was in the headquarters, talking on the phone with Du Yuming.

"Commander Du, what do you think of this plan?"

"Isn't it too risky?"

“It’s a bit risky, but if it succeeds.

Our army is almost certain to win this battle.

The complete annihilation of the Japanese 15th Army is just around the corner. If you want to achieve such a fruitful result without taking any risk, do you think it is possible?

Moreover, in my opinion, the Japanese should have no more troops in the rear.

Otherwise, they would have sent more troops to Yenangyaung.

Yesterday's raid on Yenangyaung by the Armored Regiment and the Special Operations Regiment would not have been so easy to succeed.

Now, their two regiments have captured a large amount of ammunition and supplies from the devils, which is enough to support this combat operation."

The other side fell silent.

"General Du, don't forget that you said before that you would fully cooperate with me in this battle.

I now, on the orders of the expeditionary force commander, mobilize your armored regiment to carry out this mission.

Do you agree or not? "

Ye Qingshan was as strong as ever, which put some pressure on Du Yuming.

Ye Qingshan couldn't stand the hesitation of these Kuomintang generals, who were afraid of both wolves in front and tigers behind.

“Well, you’re the commander.

You decide. "

Hearing Du Yuming say this, Ye Qingshan immediately laughed.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingshan called Xiao Wusheng directly and said with a smile: "Call Black Bear.

Tell him I agree with his new combat plan.

The Armoured Regiment went with them.

This time, if he succeeds, he will be the main contributor to the victory of this battle."

"Commander, Captain Chen is indeed worthy of being taught by you personally.

This fighting style is exactly the same.”

The young martial artist laughed.

After the early morning of the 25th, Black Bear, who was still waiting at the armored regiment headquarters and had not yet slept, finally received Ye Qingshan's telegram.

"Haha, I knew the commander would support me."

After reading the reply from the headquarters, Black Bear shouted excitedly.

At the same time, the commander of the armored regiment, Hu Xianqun, also received a telegram from Du Yuming, asking them to fully cooperate with the special operations regiment in the operations.

"Captain Hu, what do you think? I was right, wasn't I?

It seems that the brothers from our two groups will have to unite from now on.

Complete this difficult mission."

The black bear grinned and looked at Hu Xianqun.

"Okay, Captain Chen, our commander asked me to cooperate with you from now on.

You tell me, when should we set off?"

Hu Xianqun did not expect that Du Yuming actually agreed to let them fully cooperate with the special operations team in the next adventurous operation.

But since Du Yuming had spoken, their armored regiment had no choice but to do as he said.
