In the command of the Japanese army's main fortress.

"Report to the wing captain, the US bomber dropped a fire bomb, and the Fifth Battalion suffered heavy casualties. The captain Inoue Tamaki was broken, and less than 200 people were removed..."

Takeuchi closed his eyes exhausted. Napalm bullets were so terrifying that no one could escape under that situation.

Including the losses of the Fourth Brigade, more than 1,000 casualties were caused in half a day, but the tree castle was still firmly occupied by the Chinese. If this continues, the entire regiment will be exhausted.

Seeing that Takeuchi Lianshan was not speaking, Chief of Staff Yoshino opened his mouth and felt a little reluctant to speak, but the situation had to be reported, so he could only continue to say under pressure:

"The enemy took advantage of this shelling to occupy the Mid-mountain Rock and launched a tentative attack on our second defense positions. They dug out the entrance of the tunnel and were advancing inside."

Want to hit it in from the tunnel! Takeuchi suddenly opened his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the two troops on the East Coast could let go of their grudges and share the same hatred for the enemy, and cooperate with each other and make their side unable to withstand it at all.

The commander on the east coast was ruthless. From sneak attack on the tree fort to crossing the river to attacking heavy artillery attacks, one by one, one by one, one by one, no time to breathe.

This made Takeuchi feel an unprecedented sense of frustration. Why did he seem powerless to fight back when he made such a perfect preparation?

"Report, Mr. Wing Captain, I just received the news that the 13 falcon fighter jets of the Ninth Squadron of the Land Airlines Ninth Squadron are less than 30 kilometers away, and they will arrive at the battlefield within 5 minutes." A telegraph correspondent suddenly ran over and said.

"Wakada! Yoshino, immediately order the troops to pay attention to the air situation. After the shelling stops, the attack on the Chinese people immediately. Be sure to drive the enemy out of the Mid-mountain Stone with the cooperation of the air force. You can't give them any more chances!"

"Hi!"

The time for counterattack finally came. Takeuchi calmed down his bad mood and a strong fighting spirit burst out again on his face. It was absolutely impossible to make him admit defeat.

...

"Call Mike, our mission has been completed and we are ready to return now," Cooper said with the walkie-talkie.

After throwing 6 milk pounds, they finished their work and finally could go back to the airport to have a nice drink of two glasses of wheat beer.

"…All     right, thank you, I wish you a good journey." McLuhan replied.

Cooper turned off the intercom, held his head and leaned on the seat, leisurely admiring the white clouds outside the window.

At this time Anderson smiled and asked to him, "Have they approved your application?"

"No     shit! Still those reasons, it seems like I can't be a pilot." Cooper said angrily.

He was very angry when he mentioned this. He had applied several times to become a fighter pilot and had been teaching himself for a long time, but his superiors refused his request because of his lack of ability.

"Forget it, you are the best bomb thrower I have ever seen. You can eliminate more enemies in this position. Besides, we will not get used to it even if you leave." Anderson comforted.

"Let's wait and see, I will definitely..."

"Damn it! Anderson pays attention to your direction at 6 o'clock, Japanese plane!" Before Cooper could finish his words, Wisk's nervous roar suddenly came from the intercom.

"Goddammit!" Anderson quickly looked out from the reverse observation mirror, and saw that six Japanese falcon fighters emerged from the clouds behind, attacking their B17 from both directions.

"The machine gunner is in place, everyone moves, hurry up!"

In addition to Anderson and the co-pilot, nine crew members, including Cooper, quickly ran to various machine gun positions and were ready.

The Japanese fighter jets were very fast. They quickly approached the B17 in two flight formations. The two P40s that accompanied them quickly dispersed and avoided them. However, the first-mover falcon fighter jets had already bitten them.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

Six falcons fired at them together, and 12 machine guns burst out with fire snakes instantly swept over the two bulky P40 fighter jets. One of them was blown up in the air, and the other dragged black smoke and fell head to the ground.

After dealing with them, the six falcon fighters drew several arcs and rushed towards the rising B17 under the leadership of the formation leader.

...

Not long ago, the commander of the 15th Army, Yoshiro Iida, personally issued an order to the 56th Division stationed in Tengchong, asking him to quickly send fighter planes to the direction of Nantianmen.

The commander of the 56th Division did not dare to refuse to obey the order from the commander-in-chief, and immediately dispatched a total of 13 falcon fighters to support the Takeuchi Liaison team fighting at the Nantianmen.

Iida Xiangjiro knew very well that the South Heaven Gate was an important stronghold to support victory. If this place was captured by the Chinese, Tengchong Longling would have no support, and the triangular fulcrum of the Nujiang defense system would collapse instantly.

By that time, the Chinese could attack from multiple directions. As long as the highest commander of western Yunnan in China was not a fool, the Japanese army that had lost natural dangers had no military strength west of Nujiang that was swarming with Chinese people.

Once the entire western Yunnan is lost, the 15th Japanese Army in Myanmar will face the attack from both the Indian Army and the Expeditionary Force, and the entire strategic situation will undergo earth-shaking changes, which Iida Shojiro is absolutely unacceptable.

In addition to air support, Tengchong's 56th Division also sent a corps to rush to the Nantianmen at a rapid speed, and the 36th Brigade stationed in Longling County also sent a supporter, including the infamous Gangzi 9420 unit.

This battle of Nantianmen was of great importance. Once it was mobilized, the Japanese army in western Yunnan turned their attention here.

Ironically, unlike the Japanese army who dispatched troops in all aspects, the command system in western Yunnan in China is in chaos.

It was learned from the intelligence department that all Japanese troops west of Nujiang were mobilizing combat readiness. But the supreme commander General Song was confused. What the hell? Who is fighting? Who is fighting?

Because the original offensive plan was temporarily put on hold, the senior management did not know the specific situation of the front line. However, Commander Zhong, who was Yu Xiaoqing's immediate boss, was one with two heads. While having to deal with General Song's constant inquiries, he had to desperately restrain the troops below from acting.

"Zhong Bin, what's going on in the front line? Didn't you say that the troops were not ready for the offensive plan to be cancelled? Why did the Japanese rush to Songshan like they had blown up Mao? Give me an explanation!"

"Yes, sir! There should be some changes in the front line. I will send someone to verify the situation immediately and report it to you immediately."

On the other end of the phone, General Song asked sternly, and Commander Zhong had to beat him and said he would check it immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Bin immediately ordered the telegrapher to continue contacting the front line, but after his order was sent to Yu Shi and Chuan Legion, he was like a rock sinking into the sea, and he received no response. Even Tang Ji, who had always been an eyeliner contact, did not know where to go.

Commander Zhong was so angry that he cursed. Do you still need to ask now? It must be that the two troops launched an attack on the Japanese army without obeying the order.

Commander Song, who had not been answered for a long time, threw the question to his allies. The senior executives of the US Air Force were also confused. Didn’t they say that they were fighting very fiercely and needed immediate support? Why didn’t even know that their highest commander was fighting?

As front-line leaders, Helterin and others pretended not to know and explained that they received a request for support from the ally command at the beginning, and responded immediately, and everything was reasonable.
