Chapter 28: A Force That Didn't Exist
"Then it's weird."
Song Xilian frowned and said: "There is a man named Long Wenwen, who claims to be the regimental deputy of the Sichuan Army, and has just sent a telegram in clear code, saying that he has gathered more than 1,000 remnants of the Sichuan Army, and has fought more than ten bloody battles with the Japanese army at Myitkyina Airport, killing and wounding more than 500 Japanese soldiers, and waiting for an opportunity to cut off the Japanese army's logistics supply line. ”
"Dragon article?" Yu Xiaoqing was stunned and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”
The other dozen or so high-ranking generals present at the meeting showed disdain.
"More than a thousand remnants?"
"More than ten bloody battles with the Japanese army?"
"More than 500 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded?"
"This is really bragging, why doesn't he go to heaven if he's so good?"
"More than 1,000 remnants of the Sichuan Army dare to say that more than 500 Japanese soldiers were killed or wounded, so wouldn't my army be able to kill and wound more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers?"
Song Xilian didn't see any tendencies on his face.
Song Xilang said: "This deputy of the Dragon Regiment also reminded us of the remnants of the expeditionary force that had withdrawn to China, as well as the remnants of the British army that had withdrawn to Imphal, so that we could take advantage of the precious opportunity when the Japanese army was forced to return to Myitkyina, and guard against the dangers of the Nujiang River, and never let the Japanese army rush to Kunming or even Chongqing in one go." ”
"It's really unashamed."
"He said that if he returned to the Japanese army, he had to return to help?"
"Hey, I'm really taking myself as a character."
"Nujiang's dangerous solid defense, can he worry about a small regimental deputy?"
"The key point: Where did this regimental deputy jump out of? Just now, Commander Yu, oh no, Division Commander Yu can say, their Sichuan Army does not have a regimental deputy named Long Wenwen. ”
While everyone was whispering, another communications staff officer hurried in.
Song Xilian took the telegram from the communications staff officer, and after reading it, a strange look immediately appeared on his face.
Seeing Song Xilian's expression, the senior generals who were whispering immediately quieted down, because they were keenly aware that something unexpected had happened.
Sure enough, Song Xilian raised the telegram in Yang's hand and said: "This is the enemy reconnaissance provided by the Flying Tigers just now, and the Japanese Takeuchi Wing is rushing towards Tengchong along the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and I don't know why I suddenly turned back to Myitkyina. ”
"Huh? The Japanese turned back again? ”
"Really turned back?"
"Isn't it?"
"When did little Japan become so obedient?"
"Is it really because of that Sichuan Legion?"
"What Sichuan Legion, didn't you hear what Division Commander Yu said just now, the Sichuan Legion has already returned to China."
"It's just a word, the Sichuan Army has already returned to China, where is there any Zichuan Army in Myanmar."
"This is strange, that is, the one who now occupies the Myitkyina airfield and forces the Japanese Takeuchi wing to return to the division to save itself is simply a non-existent force?"
Song Xilian finally couldn't listen to it anymore.
"Enough!" Song Xilian interrupted everyone's whispering, and said to Yu Xiaoqing, "Commander Yu, no matter where this Sichuan regiment in Myitkyina came from, and no matter what happened to this deputy of the Dragon Regiment, it is an indisputable fact that they forced the Japanese Takeuchi United Force to return to Myitkyina. ”
"Therefore, you Master Yu must take advantage of this precious opportunity,"
"Reorganize the remnants of the 29th Division as soon as possible and consolidate the defense of the Nujiang River as much as possible."
"Yes!" Yu Xiaoqing snapped and stood upright, and then raised his hand to salute.
……
Myitkyina airfield, cannon fodder regiment position.
Long Wenwen put down the binoculars and said with a smug face: "Battalion Commander Lin, it seems that our telegram has worked, and the Japanese army has really given up on a small-scale attack. ”
Wang Yan said: "If I were the commander of Little Japan, I would also give up this stupid way of playing, and the tactic of refueling troops one by one is a taboo for soldiers." ”
"It's just a matter of adding fuel to the tactics and increasing casualties."
"In case we really destroy the logistics supply line because of the lack of troops in the rear, it will be troublesome."
"If this is the case, the main force of the Japanese army, which is striding towards Yunnan and Imphal, can only sing an empty city plan."
"Therefore, if I were the commander of Little Japan, I would also let one of the two Japanese pursuers return to Myitkyina to ensure the safety of the logistics support channel first."
Long Wen said: "Then you say, it will be the Japanese army in Imphal who will come back?" Or the Japanese army in Yunnan? ”
"It must be the Japanese army in the direction of Yunnan." Wang Yan said, "Tuanza, it's really not that I have the ambition of others to destroy my own prestige, and the little Japanese have probably never regarded our national army as their opponent." ”
"In the eyes of the Japanese army, the British army is qualified to be their opponent."
"In any case, Britain is the only superpower in the world today."
"Therefore, the sense of accomplishment of defeating the British army is far greater than defeating our national army."
"Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese army to give up chasing and killing the British army, but the national army in the direction of Yunnan, according to the bird nature of the national army, is already a rout, so there is no need to worry, so it makes no difference whether it is eliminated early or later."
As he spoke, it gradually darkened.
Meng looked up at the sky and whispered, "It's dark." ”
"yes, it's getting dark, we can go home." Long Wenwen made a grimace at Meng Wen, then turned his head and shouted, "Pass the order, withdraw from the position in turn, and go home!" ”
……
Under the cover of night, the cannon fodder of the Sichuan Army quietly withdrew from their positions.
The Japanese troops on the opposite side were still waiting, waiting for the main forces of the wing to come and join them, and then launch a general attack again, so the position was quiet and there was no movement.
At this time, Myanmar has become an occupied area.
And their Sichuan Army, let's call it the Sichuan Army, is the last group to stay in Burma.
So, they are now a completely lonely army, with no assistance, no logistics, no flank protection, and even no effective command.
The only radio station broke down after the message was sent out and energized.
All they have is a heart that desperately wants to go home, and they want to go home like crazy.
But the way home was not safe, and even killed, because along the Yunnan-Burma Highway to Chanda, there were still small groups of Nationalist troops running around.
So the Japanese sent a large number of search teams and ambushed them along the way.
The strength of each Japanese search team was not much, the most was only half a squad, and the few were only six or seven people, but it was still deadly enough for a rout that was like an arrow.
Don't look at the cannon fodder regiment fighting decently at the airfield and inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army.
But once the situation is not right, these routs will turn into sand in an instant, and there is no need for Japanese soldiers to fight them, and the wind can blow them to pieces.
Therefore, there must be a small elite force responsible for clearing the way for the brigade.
At that moment, Wang Yan found the dragon article and said, "Tuanzuo, I have an idea. ”
