Chapter 200 Dai Anlan called

Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was only to strike at an important US military node in the Pacific, for Southeast Asia.

Before Britain, France, the United States, Russia and other countries came to their senses, the Japanese army had already been sent, and the troops of Sano, the 38th Division of the 23rd Army, had been ordered to move south from Shenzhen.

The British resisted for more than ten days with the help of the people of Hong Kong, China, but after more than 10 days, the supply of water and electricity was stopped, and they had to surrender at Christmas.

On the same day, Kuching in Sarawak, a British province in Southeast Asia, was also captured by the Japanese army.

On New Year's Day 1942, Japanese troops in Kaohsiung moved south to capture Manila.

The day before, China and Britain had signed a Treaty of Operational Alliance, agreeing to China's entry into Burma to fight.

Before that, Germany and Japan declared war on the United States.

Britain, the United States, France, and the Netherlands retreated in Southeast Asia and began to ask China for help.

It's a joke, but it's true.

In order to deal with the Japanese army, Chiang Kai-shek sent the 74th Army and the Fourth Army south to Nanning and Qujiang respectively to support.

In order to prevent the passage of British ships to support Hong Kong and Singapore, the Japanese army sent Anan south from Wuhan to attack Changsha for the third time.

Xu Yue Xue Laohu, played a trick this afternoon, Anan also fell into the inverted eight-figure formation encountered by Okamura, but he was not as clever as just now, he directly crossed the Miluo River, hit the Xinqiang River, and attacked Changsha directly.

This hit Xue Yue's arms, and at this time Hong Kong had fallen. The Fourth Army, along with the Seventy-fourth Army, marched north along the railroad to aid the city.

After fighting for eight days, Xue Yue's peripheral troops all surrounded Anan from the outside and launched a siege.

Annan was pestered and beaten by Xue Yue in this way, fought for ten days, and after paying heavy casualties, under the response of the 44th Brigade of the 19th Division, Anan escaped from the Xinqiang River.

It was customary to bring the corpse of the robe back to the mainland, and the Japanese army did not do it again this time, because they did not even have enough time to escape.

The news of Changsha's victory was told to Zhang Ziwen by Dai Anlan, and the telegram sent together also included an invitation letter to Zhang Ziwen.

The invitation was nothing else, but to tell Zhang Ziwen that the Fifth Army was about to move south from Guiyang and enter Burma to fight.

Also acting with Sun Liren's new 38th Division was also moved.

Zhang Ziwen couldn't help but be familiar with this unit, because more than 1,000 soldiers of the 38th Division were drawn from his command and handed over to Sun Liren.

Dai Anlan also mentioned in the telegram that if Zhang Ziwen was willing to send 3,000 people, Dai Anlan would ask for the name of an independent regiment.

Zhang Ziwen was a little moved, in the past two years, the guerrilla detachment did not dare to develop rapidly, and maintained a team of 8,000 people.

Even if half of them are transferred, the detachment can quickly recover.

"Xiaobao, look at this is given to us by Dai Anlan."

Ma Xiaobao, the result of the message, carefully looked down from the beginning, looked up and said to Zhang Ziwen: "To go or not to go?"

Zhang Ziwen also asked himself this question in his heart, he originally enlisted in the army to fight the Japanese army and recover the country, and now he has become a chess piece in He Yingqin's hands.

Don't forget the original intention, these four words are easy to say but difficult to do.

Zhang Ziwen looked at the heavy snow outside the window, this is a rare heavy snow, next year, China should be better.

"Go."

Zhang Ziwen said a word in a strong tone, which contained a lot of things.

"Then who do you think you send?"

Zhang Ziwen turned his head and said, "I'll go."

Ma Xiaobao was a little surprised, in his heart, it might be Ma Qi or Mao Wenguang, but he never expected Zhang Ziwen to choose to go by himself.

"Brother Wen, this can't be helped, what should you do if you go to the detachment?"

The Qiannan guerrilla detachment was just a secret hand of He Yingqin's subordinates to the Gui family, and he Zhang Ziwen had had enough.

"Where can I manage his monstrous flood, you stay behind, I will take Sun Liang, Ma Qi, Mao Wenguang, and Dali, the four old teams."

Ma Xiaobao lowered his head and thought, but hesitated, and finally expressed his worries: "Brother Wen, Myanmar is very different from China, I think we should prepare early."

Zhang Ziwen remembered that Lu Qingman left him a document with an analysis of the global climate.

In the past few years, in his spare time, Zhang Ziwen has also translated these British things, and the dictionary has been turned over.

Zhang Ziwen rummaged through the cabinets to find the box that he had treasured for a long time, and he hadn't touched it for half a year since he cut off contact with Lu Qingman.

The document inside was not damaged, and he had numbered it himself, so Zhang Ziwen quickly found it, and it was an analysis of the success or failure of the battle caused by climate analysis.

The country mentioned in it is not Myanmar, but neighboring Thailand.

In his analysis of the climate, Zhang Ziwen pieced together the bits and pieces he found.

Thailand has a tropical climate with three seasons throughout the year, from March to May. The rainy season is from June to October, and the cool season is from October to February.

Thailand has high temperatures all year round, with the hottest being April at about 38 degrees.

The article also mentions that in Thailand, it is important to pay attention to the fact that soldiers should dress coolly, and at the same time protect against mosquitoes.

A variety of complex diseases occur frequently and are contagious in Thailand.

Zhang Ziwen searched for it again, but found nothing else.

Thailand is adjacent to Myanmar, and the climate should not be much different, which means that Myanmar will also have high temperatures.

According to the distance, you will probably arrive in Myanmar in February or March, when it is just summer.

"Xiaobao, you asked Rao Xiangyun to collect all the summer clothes in the detachment immediately, pack them and bring them to Duyun.

Call Tang Song and ask him to prepare a large number of mosquito repellent and insect repellent herbs. ”

Rao Xiangyun is now the lieutenant colonel chief of staff of the guerrilla detachment, and he has to inspect the battalions every week.

"Xiao Luo, you prepare the teaching team, the artillery battalion, the first battalion, the second battalion, and the fourth battalion to go, and tell Li Wenyi to prepare to set off with half of the radio.

Inform Lu Wenqing and bring me back the guard company. ”

Everything was properly arranged, and Zhang Ziwen went to the radio room in person.

Dai Anlan was also in the radio room, but he wanted to leave, and it had been more than half an hour since the message was sent, and Zhang Ziwen still did not reply, which was not what he imagined.

The moment Zhang Ziwen sent the message, Dai Anlan was just about to step out of the door of the radio room, but fortunately he was stopped.

"Division commander, there is a message."

Dai Anlan sat down and waited, and the message was translated in a minute, and there was only a simple word on the message, go.

Dai Anlan laughed happily, and then said to the telegraph operator: "Call back, I, Dai Anlan, am ready, waiting for you Zhang Ziwen, give you three days, and in three days, my Fifth Army will march south along the Yunnan-Burma Highway."

You can wait in the Anshun area, I hope you don't miss it. ”

Dai Anlan's message was equally brief, but it was also reassuring to Zhang Ziwen.

After receiving the telegram order, Zhang Ziwen immediately ordered: "All members of the teaching team immediately move to the vicinity of the Anshun Yunnan-Burma Highway and get ready."

The artillery battalion will leave tomorrow morning and order a battalion to follow.

The second battalion and the fourth battalion set off with the regimental headquarters the morning after tomorrow to urge Rao Xiangyun and Tang Song. ”

Zhang Ziwen handled the matter well, and went home, this time he fought in a foreign country, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead, as a son of man, he had to do what he should do.
