Han Lin said: "The strength, combat power and ammunition reserves of the 27th Army of the Japanese army are not worth worrying about. If it is a battle in the open plain terrain, with the strength and firepower of our 22nd Army and the 23rd Army, we can completely crush our forces and firepower, but..."

Speaking of this, he said: "It is this jungle that has had a serious impact on our army's offensive and has also provided excellent cover for the Japanese army."

Zhong Yi said: "So what do you mean?"

Han Lin's eyes flashed and he said in a deep voice: "Start the mountain!"

Zhong Yi couldn't help but exchange a look with Wang Geng, which was exactly the same as his thoughts.

But Wang Geng was opposed to burning mountains and said with a frown: "Myanmar is full of primitive jungles. What should I do if the fire is out of control?"

Han Lin said: "Try to control it as much as possible. If you really can't control it, then he can only do it. After all, compared to destroying the Japanese army, nothing else is worth mentioning."

Wang Geng was speechless immediately because Han Lin was talking about the truth.

Compared with the highest goal of defeating the Japanese army, other things are indeed not worth mentioning.

Not to mention that the Rukai Mountains are all remote mountainous areas, and there were not many people living there. Even if the Rukai Mountains are densely populated, they would burn it.

In order to defeat the Japanese army, what price can't be paid?

The Chinese even dug the entrance of the garden and burned the ancient city of Changsha!

So, what can burn a mere barren mountain in Myanmar be worthy?

However, at this time, Stilwell expressed different opinions and said: "But the question is, the climate in Myanmar is hot, can the rainforests here be burned?"

"Don't worry about this." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "As long as the fire is together, the tropical rainforest will only burn more vigorously!"

In Zhong Yi's memory, why do we report only the news of large-scale fires in the tropical rainforest? This shows that there will be fires in the tropical rainforest.

Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "It's settled, set fire to the mountains!"

"Yes!" Han Lin stood attentively with a snap.

...

On the northern foot of the Rukai Mountains, the 30th infantry revolver belonging to the 28th Division.

The wing captain Naoto Takagi and his adjutant were inspecting the defense line of the wing.

When I inspected the position of the 4th Squadron to which the 1st Infantry Battalion, I found that a heavy machine gun position had not been constructed, so I immediately became popular.

"Where is your squadron leader?"

"Call your squadron leader here!"

A high-ranking soldier hurried to find the squadron leader.

After a while, the squadron leader Kawano Hiroshi hurried over with mud and water.

Kawano was carrying more than a dozen kettles in his hand, and he just went to get the water.

Naoto Takagi frowned and said, "Kano, why did you go to get water yourself? Just send a second-class private to such a broken matter."

"Captain of the regiment, no," Kawano said with a wry smile, "There is only one water source nearby, and it is facing the position of the Chinese army. From three days ago, a very powerful sniper came to the position of the Chinese army, and actually shot and killed six of us soldiers who went to fetch water in succession."

"In the end, I really have no choice but to pick it up myself."

"At least I know more than these privates and know how to avoid the sniper's lockdown."

"That's not possible." Naoto Takagi waved his hand and said, "You are the squadron leader and a commander. If you are shot and killed, who will command the entire squadron?"

Speaking of this, Naoto Takagi reached out and pointed to the heavy machine gun position on the high place, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Why is the heavy machine gun fire set up at such a striking height?"

Kawano Hiroshi hurriedly said, "Oh, this heavy machine gun is broken and cannot be repaired, so I deliberately placed it on a high place, with the purpose of attracting the Chinese army's aviation and artillery fire."

"So that's it." Naoto Takagi suddenly said, "I blamed you wrongly."

At this moment, a privateman suddenly shouted: "Captain of the regiment, squadron leader, look at it, is the one in front of him fog? Or smoke?"

Naoto Takagi and Hiroshi Kono subconsciously turned around.

Then, the two of them saw that in front of the position, there was indeed a vast white thing like fog and smoke.

Just after a glance, Naoto Takagi retracted his gaze and didn't care much, because he didn't associate this matter with the large-scale setting of the mountain.

But Hiroshi Kono realized something was wrong.

"The captain of the wing, it seems that it is not right." Kawano Hiroshi said in a deep voice, "This is smoke!"

"Not right?" Naoto Takagi was stunned for a moment, and then said, "So what if it's smoke?"

"The captain of the wing, it's the problem that is serious." Kawano Hiroshi said in a deep voice, "Didn't you notice that in just a moment, the smoke is much richer than before?"

"Hmm? It seems that this is true." Naoto Takagi was stern.

In just a moment, the smoke in front of me became much richer and the range was even larger.

At this time, Naoto Takagi finally reacted and said, "Bagayaru, the Chinese army shouldn't want to set fire to the mountains, right?"

Kawano's face turned pale for a moment.

More than a dozen Japanese soldiers nearby also changed their faces.

Naoto Takagi's worries quickly became a cruel reality.

Less than five minutes passed, and the smoke in front filled the 4th Squadron's position.

More than 100 Japanese soldiers on the position, including Naoto Takagi and Kuraohiro, immediately began to cough violently, and each of them was so furious that they were so furious that they burst into tears.

That's not over yet.

A few minutes later, a raging fire began to appear behind the smoke.

Immediately after the smoke, open flames followed one after another, it was really a big fire!

The sucking flames swept through the front, and towering trees were instantly swallowed by the flames. The dense leaves were burned in a short time, and then they caught fire and burned.

After more big trees began to burn, the fire became even more powerful.

In less than half an hour, the 4th Squadron's position was completely surrounded by fire.

Naoto Takagi was trapped in the 4th Squadron's position just after hesitating for a moment. At this time, he couldn't escape even if he wanted to run away, because the fire had already surrounded the entire position.

Soon, the huge fire approached the defensive position of the 4th Squadron.

Naoto Takagi, Hiroshi Kono and the Japanese soldiers from the 4th Squadron were forced to hide in the trenches.

However, this is of no use, because the trench is open and has not been capped, so it cannot withstand the scorching of the flames at all.

The rolling heat waves quickly filled the trenches.

Naoto Takagi watched as his military uniform began to be scorched and his skin was blistered.
