Chapter 159, defeated Maicheng
The next day, the adjutant respectfully came to Luo Zhuoying, Duan Zhongyi, and Stilwell with a telegram and looked at Luo Zhuoying.
"General Luo, General Du Yuming has called from the direction of the Hukang River Valley, he has sent a telegram to the principal, and the principal has ordered him to lead the army back to the country!"
After listening to the adjutant's words, Luo Zhuoying already knew in his heart, it had been a whole night, Du Yuming did not come to Wacheng, that must be to return to the border with his Fifth Army, it seems that he did not wait for reinforcements, but quickly withdrew from Lashio, Luo Zhuoying listened to the wind whistling outside the window, his heart was desolate, Duan Zhongyi looked at the lonely Luo Zhuoying, and thought sadly in his heart, it seems that he really let him say, this expedition ended in failure.
After a long time, Luo Zhuoying's eyes regained his heroic spirit, and his eyes looked at the adjutant beside him brightly.
"Now, the Japanese army has captured Lashio and surrounded Wacheng from all sides!"
"Yes, Commander, the Japanese army in the direction of Tangji, Lashio, and Mandalay has already encircled Wacheng! The 56th Division has divided its forces into two divisions to pursue the Fifth Army! After listening to this, Luo Zhuoying did not ask Stilwell's opinion at all, but looked at Duan Zhongyidao.
"Zhongyi, it seems that we are going to retreat to India with the British, in your name, I will telegraph to the principal, just say that our First Route Army has withdrawn to India, and after retreating to India safely, I will return to China and ask him for guilt in person, so be it!"
Luo Zhuoying turned around and left without even looking at Stilwell, Stilwell looked at Luo Zhuoying's lonely back, his eyes were guilty, and the corners of his mouth looked at Duan Zhongyi Dao bitterly.
"Duan, it seems that I was really wrong this time, I was ridiculously wrong, I am really the sinner of this battle as Luo said!"
"I'm glad you recognize your mistake now, General Stilwell, but it's too late, take care of yourself!"
After all, the other party represents the United States in China, Duan Zhongyi was very angry in his heart, but he couldn't show it, and turned around and left after saying it lightly.
Eleven days later, Dai Anlan took the 200th Division with a tired face to the dense forest in the area of Winzo, Burma, and Dai Anlan looked at his adjutant in embarrassment.
"Hurry up and set up a radio station, urgently contact our Fifth Army, and ask where our Fifth Army has retreated now after separating from the Hukang River Valley?" After Dai Anlan finished giving the order, the adjutant respectfully beckoned the staff to start setting up a radio station.
Shen drunk lit a cigarette and came to Dai Anlan's side, looked at his embarrassed subordinates and Dai Anlan's embarrassed remnants, let out a long puff of smoke, and looked at Dai Anlan with lonely eyes.
"General Dai, after this expedition, I can be regarded as understanding what is a general's incompetence, misleading the country and the army, you said that we have an advantage in intelligence, and captured the secret weapon of the Japanese army, why are we so completely defeated, now there are chasing soldiers behind us, the road ahead is boundless, it is really embarrassing!"
Dai Anlan also felt the same way after listening to Shen Zui's words, all this is to blame on the self-righteous Yankee, if he didn't agree with the commander's decision to launch a battle in Donghu at the beginning, he must rely on the British, and he would not have been defeated so completely, and now it is too late to say anything, at this moment, the adjutant who had been busy for half an hour came to Dai Anlan's side and said.
"General, oops, I can't contact the army anymore, what should I do next?" After listening to the adjutant's words, the corners of Dai Anlan's mouth also showed a bitter look, when people were back, they really stuffed their teeth with cold water, now there is no village in front of them, and there are chasing soldiers behind, if you rashly break through the dense forests of Myanmar, you will really get lost, so Dai Anlan looked at Shen Zuidao, who was experienced in jungle warfare.
"Brother Shen, what do you think we should do next?" After listening to Dai Anlan's words, Shen Zui also felt bitter, looked around, Shen Zui vaguely remembered that this was the Wenzuo area, sparsely populated, and only the north-central mountainous area might be able to find a village, so he looked at Dai Anlan and said.
"General Dai, why don't we go to the mountains, maybe we run into a village, grab a local person as a guide, and we may be able to get out of this Burmese jungle!" After listening to Shen Zui's words, Dai Anlan nodded, and then looked at the adjutant beside him.
"Tell the brothers, march to the mountain, cheer up, this dense forest is dangerous, maybe there will be Japanese at any time!" After Dai Anlan finished speaking, the adjutant conveyed Dai Anlan's instructions, and Dai Anlan also took his remnants and walked deep into the dense forests of Burma.
……
Eight days later, the ragged Dai Anlan and Shen Zui took their subordinates to a wide dirt road, Dai Anlan and Shen Zui's tired eyes for days also showed a happy gaze, it seems that this guide did not lie to himself, this road is the road to Ximo, through Ximo, it is not far from the border.
It turned out that Dai Anlan listened to Shen Zui's words and marched to the mountains, during which he also encountered attacks by small groups of Japanese combat troops from time to time, but through Shen Zui's guerrilla strategy, everyone was considered to have survived in the jungle without danger, of course, there were battles and sacrifices, and now the 200th Division plus Shen Zui's special combat team only has one regiment left, but the sky is affectionate, and they really let them meet a village, so they rested in the village for a night, grabbed a local guide, and came to the current dirt road, Dai Anlan had already arranged for an avant-garde army to go to Ximo along the road, and they finally walked out of the dense forest and came to the side of the road at this moment, so Dai Anlan and Shen Zui set off along the road with happy eyes!
Just as Dai Anlan was slowly approaching the end with his remnants, suddenly the sound of artillery fire and violent gunfire sounded in Dai Anlan's ears, Dai Anlan and Shen Zui vigilantly ordered their remnants to stay on guard, at this time, a ragged Chinese soldier with a panicked look ran towards Dai Anlan and Shen Zui, and the Chinese soldier looked at Dai Anlan breathlessly.
"General Dai, our company commander asked me to report to you, two regiments of Japanese soldiers appeared in front of you, so you should hide in the depths of the dense forest quickly!"
Dai Anlan listened to the words of the Chinese soldiers, his eyes were dark, and he said bitterly and lonely in his heart, God really wants to kill me, Dai Anlan suppressed the melancholy in his heart, and looked at the soldiers in front of him, all of them were ragged, their faces were yellow, their dry food had long been cut off, and they still relied on guides along the way, digging wild vegetables to eat, and now they had to flee to the dense forest, so Dai Anlan looked at the guide who was silent in battle.
The Burmese guide looked at Dai Anlan's gaze, and after a while, he was afraid, and the corners of his mouth trembled.
"You don't have food, even if you escape to the dense forest, you will starve to death one day, Ximo is the only pass to the Sino-Myanmar border, you still send me away with kindness, I have already brought you to Ximo, there are still old and young in my family!"
After listening to the guide's words, Dai Anlan felt a burst of grief and indignation in his heart, even he wanted to escape, it was really not beautiful, the sky was going to kill me, Dai Anlan was angry, and he whipped his horse boots with his own whip.
"It's me who is sorry for the brothers, it is I who have brought the brothers to a dead end!"
Shen Zui looked at Dai Anlan, who was annoyed and blamed himself, and hurriedly came to Dai Anlan's side with his deputy division commander Zheng Ting, Shen Zui grabbed Dai Anlan's hand holding the horsewhip with one hand, Zheng Ting looked at Dai Anlan's eyes flashed with a determined gaze.
"General Dai, brothers are not afraid of death, it is better to wait until the evening for us to break through, after all, our goal is too big during the day, it is convenient to move at night, and the Japanese army's vision is not good!"
After listening to Zheng Ting's words, Dai Anlan's eyes couldn't help but flash with a fierce gaze, yes, instead of starving to death in the dense forest, it is better to lead the brothers to a big battle, at night, maybe the Japanese reinforcements will arrive at night, and they must have notified the nearby garrison Japanese troops, so Dai Anlan's eyes also flashed with a look of death.
"In the past, Guan Gong went to Maicheng, but it was just like that, Myanmar is not a place to stay for a long time, and today it can only be either fish death, or the net is broken! Brothers are not afraid of death, just kill with me Dai Anlan, and the reinforcements of the Japanese army will also arrive at night, so it is better to kill them now, rush over, we can go home, if we can't rush over, we can also take little Japan to die together, die in battle, and live up to this life! ”
Dai Anlan's subordinates and drunken subordinates were all infected by Dai Anlan's death-defying momentum, so a group of ragged Chinese soldiers raised their heads to the sky and shouted.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! ……”
The avant-garde troops who were fighting bloodily with the Japanese army in front of them heard the shouting of killing that shocked the mountains and forests behind them, and their fighting spirit became even more vigorous for a while, and they rushed to kill with their machine guns in response to the Japanese with red eyes.
Dai Anlan looked at his energetic subordinates and nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at his remaining troops with a straight face, and his voice was like a boom.
"The artillery propped up your * barrel, advanced to 50 meters from the battlefield to fire shells, and the rest of the people formed a death squad with me to rush to kill the Japanese position, Brother Shen, you arranged for one of your subordinates to take a good look at this Burmese, if we rush out, we have to rely on him to lead the way, if we don't rush out, let him also die to defend Burma, and your special combat team will follow us and knock down the Japanese machine gunners for me!"
"Obey the order, and you will not fail in the mission!" After Dai Anlan finished his order, he said solemnly.
So under Dai Anlan's order, Dai Anlan came to the front of the Japanese position with an assault rifle in front of his death squad, accompanied by the fire that broke out in the sky in the Japanese position, Dai Anlan shouted.
"Kill! Brother, kill me! ”
Under Dai Anlan's order, Dai Anlan took the lead with the death squad to face the unscrupulous machine guns in the Japanese position, and Shen was drunk and unwilling, holding a 98-type sniper rifle, following behind the death squad, aiming at the Japanese machine gunners one by one, the bullet was not missing, and one shot hit a Japanese machine gunner, but under the bloody battle, the Japanese seemed to be infected, and the machine gunners who were not afraid of death went forward to succeed one after another, but Shen Zui did not feel tired at all, shooting one shot at a time, Under the dazzling sunlight, in the bursts of shouts and killings, a bloody battle of life and death was staged on the Japanese military position at the end of the day.
Under the bloody sun, Shen Zui and Dai Anlan finally fought their way out of the bloody battle, but the Japanese army that broke through the fine defense line was also inspired by the remnants of Dai Anlan's 200th Division, and began to chase the remnants of the 50-man Chinese army who fled to the depths of the jungle all the way.
"Bang!"
The bullet had no eyes, and a bullet pierced the abdomen of Dai Anlan, who led the team to break through the Japanese blockade, Dai Anlan's tired body could no longer bear it, and fell to the ground.
"Hurry up and carry your division commander away, I'll cut it off!"
Shen Zui finished speaking, he held a 98-style Mauser sniper rifle and shot at the pursuers behind him, Shen Zui first shot the Japanese soldier who shot Dai Anlan, and then aimed at the pursuit of the Japanese army's Dazuo, accompanied by the rifle bullet flying, accurately passing through the eyebrows of the Dazuo, Dazuo responded to the end, but the Japanese soldiers seemed to be inspired by Shen Zui to be more intensely angry, and they all desperately chased Shen Zui, shooting while running, and Shen Zui's feet flashed, constantly dodging bullets, and constantly shooting.
However, the soldiers carrying Dai Anlan slowed down because of their movements, and some were also killed by eyeless bullets, but the Chinese soldiers still did not give up, and carried their division commanders all the way forward.
Eight days later, Shen Zui took his only five remaining special combat teams and 30 remnants of the 200 divisions to carry the dying Dai Anlan to the Kachin cottage in Mao State in northern Myanmar.
"Brother Shen, how far is our border now?" After listening to Dai Anlan's words, Shen Zui eagerly greeted the guide.
"You come here, you come here, well, you come here, how far is it from our Chinese border!" The Burmese guide looked at Shen Zui's murderous gaze, came to the two of them in silence, and said cautiously.
"General, we are still thirty or forty miles away from the border!"
After listening to the words of the Burmese guide, Dai Anlan's godless eyes actually shed two lines of tears, Dai Anlan's breath was weak, his voice was low, and he said to Shen drunk with a dry and lonely expression.
"Brother Shen, I'm afraid I'm dying, I'll ask you for one thing, help me get dressed up, after I die, you must bring my body to China!"
Shen drunk listened to Dai Anlan's weak words, his breath was very weak, listening to Dai Anlan's last wish, he burst into tears for a while, and said in a choked voice.
"General Dai, don't worry, even if we take turns to carry it, we will carry you back to China!"
After listening to Shen Anlan's drunken words, his eyes also returned to shine brightly, looking at the blood-colored remnant sun in the sky, the bright sunset, Dai Anlan seemed to have seen that the Japanese empire that invaded China had sunset, victory would one day belong to China, to the thousands of Chinese people, and peace would one day shine on the earth like this sun.
In the end, Dai Anlan closed his eyes peacefully in the afterglow of the sunset, drunk and looked at Dai Anlan, who had passed away peacefully, with tears in his eyes, and at this moment, everyone looked at Dai Anlan's closed eyes and peaceful face, and they all burst into tears. The breeze blows, and a silent tragedy and sacredness drift into the distance with the wind, drifting towards the China that is close and late.
