In the Lashio combat command room, in the sound of busyness, the young adjutant happily came to Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming's side, and the two looked at the young man's happy expression, according to the time, it must be that Tang Ji's side has succeeded, so he looked at the young adjutant.

"Say, looking at your expression, I think it must be Tang Ji's good news!"

"Yes, Commander Luo, General Du, and General Dai Anlan called, Tangji has been successfully captured!" After Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming listened, their eyes showed long-lost happiness, and then Luo Zhuoying looked at the young adjutant and said.

"Is there a message from General Duan Zhongyi?"

"Yes, General Duan called, they have arrived in Wacheng, and Commander Luo still needs to go to General Stilwell to discuss with General Stilwell about returning to Lashio!" After hearing this, Du Yuming slapped the table fiercely and said.

"Zhuo Ying, look at what I say, I'll just say that the Yankee won't agree to our plan!"

"Lao Du, it seems that I am going to go in person, Lashio will be handed over to you, you can rest assured that I will definitely persuade Stilwell!"

After Luo Zhuoying finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left, but Du Yuming's eyes flashed with a solemn gaze, I am afraid that this time you are also going to go in vain, Du Yuming sighed, and then looked at the young adjutant.

"Telegraph to Dai Anlan's department, stick to Tangji, the Japanese army will counterattack in a few days, and if you don't encounter a critical situation, you must not retreat to Tangji!" The young adjutant listened to Du Yuming's majestic words, and hurriedly turned around respectfully to leave.

In the afternoon, the young Japanese adjutant of the Yangon Operational Command respectfully came to the side of Kawabe Shozo and looked at Kawabe Shozo who was engrossed in studying the sand table.

"General Riverside, General Sakurano Ozawa, commander of the 56th Division, called, my 56th Division has arrived outside Lashio to surround the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and launched an attack on Lashio at night, General Takeuchi Kan, the commander of the 55th Division, called, Tangji has been occupied by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and at night, my 55th Division has launched an attack on Tangji!"

After listening to the adjutant's words, Kawabe Shozo nodded, and then his eyes flashed a cold glow, good you Takeuchi Kuan, unwilling to attack Tangji, want to wait for the Chinese to receive the news that Lashio was attacked Good soldiers take Lashio bloodlessly, you kid is a soldier like a son, this is mocking me, and then Kawabe Shozo shook his head helplessly and looked at the adjutant.

"Telegraph Sakurano Ozawa and Takeuchi Kan respectively, I approve their battle plan, you go!"

……

Unlike the commander on the Japanese side, who understood his subordinates, at this moment, Luo Zhuoying hurriedly walked into the combat command room in Wacheng and looked at Stilwell and Duan Zhongyidao who were studying the sand table.

"General Stilwell, isn't it just to come back to Lashio, why do you want me to come in person, can't you see the intentions of the Japanese army in the deployment of the Japanese army?"

"Dear Luo, don't be anxious, don't be angry, how could I not understand the intentions of the Japanese army, but I think that the next plan of the Japanese army must be to quickly occupy Tangji, and then capture Wacheng, and finally attack Lashio, because the Japanese army will not let go of this plan to annihilate us and the British army! I think you should be quiet now, we will wait here for the rabbit, once the Japanese army attacks Wacheng, there are Tangji and Lashio from both sides, we will definitely be able to annihilate the Japanese attack in one fell swoop! ”

Stilwell said confidently, Luo Zhuoying looked at Stilwell's confident expression, and the blood on his rare elegant face surged, and he looked at Stilwell angrily and said.

"Stilwell, you're confused! You think that Hebian Zhengsan is as great a joy as you, he is a meticulous and wise person, he will definitely attack Lashio directly, don't be obsessed, you will mislead the country and the army like this! Stilwell was unhappy when he heard Luo Zhuoying's words, his face was pale, and he looked at Luo Zhuoying with a stubborn face.

"Luo, how can you be like General Du, I really don't know how you China trains generals, are they all as domineering as you? Okay, you don't have to speak, you can keep silent, you must know that I am the commander-in-chief of the Burma battlefield, your staff officer in the Chinese theater, you and I don't need to say who has the right to me, come on, take Commander Luo back to the room for me, and think about it behind closed doors! ”

Stilwell stubbornly commanded his American guards, so two American GIs pointed at Luo Zhuoying with assault rifles, and Duan Zhongyi hurriedly looked at Stilwell anxiously as he looked at this scene.

"General Stilwell doesn't have to be like that!"

Stilwell ignored Duan Zhongyi's persuasion and ordered his guards to take Luo Zhuoying into custody, and Luo Zhuoying looked at Stilwell angrily.

"You Yankee, our Chinese expeditionary force will be buried in your stubbornness, and you will become a sinner and a sinner in China!"

The word sinner spurred Stilwell's nerves fiercely, and Stilwell looked angrily at his guard.

"What are you waiting for, don't give me a damn!" So Luo Zhuoying was escorted away by two American GIs, Duan Zhongyi looked at Stilwell's stubborn conceit and was helpless, snorted coldly, and left the combat command room angrily, Stilwell looked at the back of the two of them leaving, did not think that he had done anything wrong, and continued to confidently study his plan.

At night, Sakurano Ozawa, who had quietly surrounded Lashio in the depths of the dense forest a kilometer away from Lashio, had bright eyes flashing brightly, looking at the heavily guarded Lashio outside the dense forest, there was only one division of troops, so let you see the strength of our division, and then commanded the messenger behind him.

"Notify the artillery regiment five miles away, bomb Lashio, summon the teams, and launch an attack on Lashio!"

So when the messenger conveyed Sakurano Ozawa's military orders one by one, the night sky of Lashio fell steadily into the city of Lashio with the sound of cannonballs passing by, and a huge sound broke out for a while.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! ”

* Broke out in the city of Lashio, the fire in the sky instantly swept the Chinese expeditionary force that was caught off guard, the entire city of Lashio under the artillery fire in the sky, the earth shook, trembling, and Du Yuming, who felt the earth shaking, also walked out of the war room, looking at the artillery fire everywhere in the city, Du Yuming was very shocked, how could the Japanese suddenly attack Lashio, could there be a division quietly outside the city of Lashio, deliberately occupied Tangji in order to attract our attention, Du Yuming also showed his iron-blooded general's style, Thinking about everything in an instant, he looked at the adjutant and the messenger beside him.

"Dai Anlan's division of the 200th Division of the emergency telegram, rushed to the aid of Lashio, and ordered all departments to stick to the city wall, fight the Japanese army, and not take a step back!"

Du Yuming said iron-clad, and then the young adjutant and the messenger hurriedly went to order Du Yuming's military orders, and outside the city of Lashio, the planes continued to roar in the sky, bombing the city of Lashio, and the groups of Japanese soldiers also began to launch a fierce attack on the city.

At the same time, the sky above Tangji City, it also rained down the raining cannonballs, under the huge bombardment sound, the entire Tangji City trembled, Dai Anlan dodged the cannonballs, and Shen Zui came to the city wall together, Dai Anlan picked up the telescope and looked at the direction of the cannonballs, and found that there were guns on the fire, and there was no wind and grass in the dense forest under the moonlight, Dai Anlan couldn't help but fall into deep doubts.

At this moment, Dai Anlan's adjutant came to Dai Anlan's side in a hurry, panting, and said eagerly.

"Lashio is in an emergency, Lashio is besieged by unknown Japanese troops, so our troops quickly rush to the aid of Lashio!"

After listening to the adjutant's words, Dai Anlan was stunned for a while, and blurted out.

"What, what do you say, Lashio is under siege!"

"Yes, General!"

Dai Anlan listened to the sudden bad news, his eyes darkened, Shen drunk hurriedly supported Dai Anlan behind Dai Anlan, Dai Anlan opened his eyes and looked at the artillery fire in Tangji City, and instantly understood why the Japanese army on the opposite side only had artillery attacks, but did not charge, it seems that the Japanese had already planned everything, Tangji is a disguise, outside Lashio City, I am afraid that a Japanese division has secretly arrived to surround it, so he said helplessly.

"Order the whole army, evacuate Tangji, march quickly, and gallop to the aid of Lashio!"

After Dai Anlan finished speaking, the adjutant went to convey Dai Anlan's military order, Dai Anlan glanced at this Tangji City again accompanied by Shen Zui, and left with Shen Zui lonely, and the adjutant of Takeuchi Kuan outside Tangji City came to Takeuchi Kuan's side happily.

"General, you really expected things like a god, the Chinese withdrew, what should we do next!"

"Order our army, wait for the Chinese to evacuate and enter the city overnight, rest all night, march quickly tomorrow, and go straight to Lashio!"

The next day, the sun was rising, the blood was still in the sun, Sakurano Ozawa held the binoculars, looking at the Chinese expeditionary force still rising up and holding on to the city of Lashio, he couldn't help but be full of respect in his heart, he only came after the end of the last battle of Donghu, did not see the tenacity of the Chinese expeditionary force, last night after a night of strong attack, still did not break through the hard city wall of Lashio, but his own soldiers were eliminated a lot, of course, the Chinese must have died a lot, but still hold on, really tenacious, much stronger than the British.

At this moment, a young adjutant hurriedly came to Sakurano Ozawa's side and said eagerly.

"General Sakurano is not good, after Lashio City, a division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force suddenly appeared and broke through our blockade of the east road of Lashio!"

Sakurano was not shocked after hearing this, it must be that the Chinese Expeditionary Force Division stationed in Tangji has returned, and it is moving quickly, no worse than our elite division, but he did not panic, and calmly commanded.

"Strictly order all units not to rush to the east road, and go all out to attack Lashio from the other three directions!"

The reason why Sakurano Ozawa was not worried was because as long as the Chinese defenders of Lashio were contained from these three sides, it was estimated that the 55th Division would appear on the east road of Lashio in half a day.

At this moment, Dai Anlan came to the Lashio Combat Headquarters accompanied by Shen Zui, Du Yuming looked at Dai Anlan with a tired face and nodded with relief.

"An Lan, Brother Shen, you are back, fortunately for you, then let's guard Lashio together! I've sent an urgent telegram to Wacheng for help! ”

Dai Anlan looked at Du Yuming's last trace of fantasy and couldn't bear it, but he still said to Du Yuming with iron blood.

"General, let's withdraw, they are too late, it is estimated that another division of the Japanese army will besiege before noon, now we have lost a lot of brothers in guarding Lashio, we have lost a lot of troops in breaking the eastern blockade, in my observation, the strength of a division of the Japanese army is twice that of us, and four times the strength of the troops cannot hold on to the reinforcements of Wacheng, and we can't let our Chinese expeditionary force shed blood and sacrifice for Stilwell and the British in vain!"

Du Yuming was also very helpless in his heart after listening to Dai Anlan's words, looking at the battle conference room that had been a few days, to be honest, leaving like this, he Du Yuming was very unwilling, but just like Dai Anlan's words, he couldn't let his army shed blood and sacrifice in vain, he wanted to bring them back, so Du Yuming looked at Dai Anlan with iron blood.

"Then we will retreat in three ways, the new 22nd Guard Division will be led by me as one way, the 96th Division of the Fifth Army will be one way, your 200th Division and Brother Shen's special combat team will be one way, and the Third Route Army will retreat to the border in three ways after breaking through the east road of Lashio!"

After Du Yuming finished speaking, Dai Anlan and Shen Zui respectfully saluted, and then Du Yuming's adjutant conveyed it in accordance with Du Yuming's military order, and at this moment, in the Wacheng battle conference room, Luo Zhuoying and Duan Zhongyi broke in angrily, Stilwell no longer had the arrogance and domineering of yesterday, and handed the message received urgently to Luo Zhuoying and Duan Zhongyi.

Luo Zhuoying and Duan Zhongyi took the message from Stilwell, looked at the request for help above, both of them sat down, and the air in the conference room became more and more solidified for a while, and after a long time, Luo Zhuoying angrily pointed at Stilwell's nose and said.

"You Yankee, you are the sinner of China, the sinner of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, what about your guard? It was your self-righteousness that buried Lashio! ”

Stilwell was powerless to refute Luo Zhuoying's accusations at the moment, and a glimmer of hope had surged in his heart.

"I've arranged for the army to set off to aid Lashio!"

"It's too late to arrange now, the reinforcements will not arrive in Lashio until at least the evening, and the Japanese army has launched an attack last night, twice the strength, Du Yuming's Fifth Army can at most hold on to the arrival of Dai Anlan, it is already the end of the anger, plus Tangji's Japanese army will also march to Lashio in a hurry, you must know that the distance from Tangji is much closer than Wacheng to Lashio, at most two hours will arrive at Lashio, four times the strength, not to mention the weapon, Lashio will be lost, even Zhuge Liang will not be able to return to heaven in the next life, you Stilwell is a sinner, You are responsible for this defeat! ”

Luo Zhuoying finished speaking angrily, and then left the battle conference room in despair, Stilwell listened to Luo Zhuoying's words and woke up like a dream, as soon as Lashio was lost, Wacheng was surrounded by the Japanese army, and it was indeed powerless to return to the sky, Duan Zhongyi looked at Luo Zhuoying who was lost and hurriedly followed, and Stilwell also looked at the sand table in front of him with a dead face, and at this moment he was also sighing!
