Chapter 220: The plane is coming

Next, the two discussed the issue of whether to defend or retreat from the Pew River, with Dai Anlan guarding and Zhang Ziwen retreating.

"A wing of the Japanese army in front of it will inevitably erect pontoon bridges over the river, and there will be more than one, and when the Japanese troops come up, the position on the Pew River will lose its meaning."

What Dai Anlan is entangled with is that the message to Du Luming has not yet arrived, and now that he has withdrawn, it will become a joke.

Zhang Ziwen continued: "Brother Dai is worried that the telegram has not arrived yet?"

Dai Anlan nodded solemnly.

"Then you see us like this, we will hold the Pew River until dark, and withdraw from the position after dark, so that we can ensure that the telegraph is received later, and the artillery of the retreating devils at night cannot find anyone. Prior to this, we ordered the training team in the Bago Mountains to harass the Japanese troops from behind and delay the Japanese army's erection of the pontoon bridge. ”

Dai Anlan nodded at this time, and said to the staff officer on the side: "Telegraph the Pew River position, be sure to hold out until dark, withdraw from the Pew River position after dark, retreat into Okwin, and at the same time telegraph the Ekovan position to prepare to respond."

Du Luming, who had not yet received the telegram, did not know that the Japanese army had already connected with the 200 divisions and was bargaining with Stilwell.

"Fifty planes, no less, there are quite a few British planes, why can't my expeditionary force be divided into a third?"

Stilwell once came to China with the Eight-Nation Alliance, and he claimed to be a Chinese expert, and he could understand Chinese; as a military attache stationed in China, he had long seen through the weaknesses of Chinese's character and said to Dai Anlan: "General Dai, we must take into account the overall situation, and not ignore the overall situation in vain."

Du Lu almost slapped the table angrily, who did not care about the overall situation?

Du Luming was about to leave the game again, but Du Luming's adjutant walked in directly.

"Commander, good news from the Pew River."

God help yourself, see what Stilwell has to say.

"There is a telegram here, and the 200 divisions of our Fifth Army have been engaged in fire with the Japanese army."

Stilwell and Alexander looked sideways, how did the Japanese fight so fast? It is only a few days today, and it will be three days before the plan made by the British army to reach Tonggu.

"My 200 divisions repelled the Japanese at the Pew River and covered the retreat of the British army."

It was inevitable to cover the retreat of the British army, because the British army could only retreat on the same ancient road, and the British army was looking for death when entering the mountains on both sides.

Alexander's face became embarrassed when he heard the translation's words, and Stilwell remained expressionless.

"I would like to ask the two generals ......"

"Okay, the expeditionary force fought well, we want to reward them."

Stilwell blocked Du Luming's mouth again, Du Luming glanced at Stilwell hatefully, turned back to the adjutant and said, "Go prepare the car, load all the materials in our hands, and rush to Tonggu overnight."

Du Luming was angry, and slapped the message directly on the table, one expressionless, and the other pretended to be deaf and dumb.

After Du Luming left, Alexander, who pretended to be deaf and dumb, picked up the message, read it to his interpreter, and said in English: "But a small team of Japanese troops ......"

Alexander looked at Stilwell and saw that Stilwell had gotten up and walked out the door.

Alexander could only grit his teeth with hatred, and there was nothing he could do about this arrogant Yankee, after all, he was only the deputy commander.

The world could not have imagined that such a situation would occur in the midst of a high-level military conference of the three countries.

Out of the door, Du Luming's adjutant asked, "Is the commander really all loaded, don't you have to think about Chief Lin's side?"

Du Luming took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said: "In a few days, a third of the time, at the same time, the 38th Division and the new 22nd Division will be ordered to enter Burma quickly, and the 96th Division will be equipped to meet the retreat of 200 divisions."

Although Du Luming was ready to fight together on the front line, he still had to keep the 200 divisions, and he couldn't let this unit be lost like this.

"By the way, give the commissioner a telegram. Inform me of the current situation, just say that I, Du Luming, really have no choice, and ask for another seat to invite Gao Ming, and I, Du Luming, will go back to be the commander of the Fifth Army. ”

The dignified deputy commander of the Chinese-American-British-Burmese Allied Forces could only scrape together enough supplies for 20 cars in the end.

"Drive all the cars away~"

The adjutant immediately arranged for all the cars to drive out of the field, which was originally used to transport troops to support the 200 divisions, but because of Alexander's resistance, the 22nd and 38th divisions are still hundreds of miles away.

The hateful thing is that the train was stopped, and the British shifted the blame to the Burmese, saying that the railway was full of Burmese, and they didn't want us to win, to put it simply, it was Du Luming, and you wanted to transport yourself to settle the railway workers.

The backlog of anger over the past few days led to Du Luming's outburst today.

At this time, Du Luming began to miss when Zheng Dongguo and Qiu Qingquan were there, if they were still there, they would not be able to sit still.

He Du Luming took a fancy to Dai Anlan, but Chiang Kai-shek valued Zheng Dongguo and Qiu Qingquan.

That's it, what about the success or failure, fight to the death.

Before it got dark, the Pew River once again received good news, and the Pew garrison once again repelled the Japanese army, and this was already the third time.

The defenders of the Pew River were only half full, and if the Japanese charged again before dark, it was not known whether the Pew River would be able to hold it.

At this moment, Lu Wenqing ran into the headquarters of the 200th Division.

"Master Dai~"

Lu Wenqing saluted and said to Zhang Ziwen: "Commander, there are about two squadrons of Japanese planes, which have already flown in from the south, and it seems that they want to take advantage of the night sky to attack Tonggu. There was also Xiao Wu who rushed to the Pew River with a small team, and the situation of the Pew River was not optimistic. ”

Lu Wenqing did not avoid Dai Anlan, and everyone present heard it.

"Brother Dai, you also heard it, I suggest that a telegram be sent to the Pew River immediately, so that they can prepare to retreat, and at the same time send a telegram to the Ekewen defenders to pay attention to the air raids, and not to light the lights at night in the same ancient period to prevent the Japanese air raids."

Dai Anlan said directly to Zheng Tingji: "Do what Brother Zhang said, UU read the book .net and at the same time telegraphed the 96th Division to pay attention to the Japanese air raid."

Zheng Tingjian immediately ordered his subordinates to do it, and he couldn't care too much about it at this time.

"Brother, while the sky is still bright, we are discussing the issue of assisting in defense."

This question is the main topic of Dai Anlan and Zhang Ziwen today, the generals cooperate with each other, and it is impossible to explain a word, only by starting from the details, this ancient city can be defended for a longer time.

The Japanese army was already strong in combat, and the 200 divisions and guerrilla detachments were only 10,000 in total, while the 55th Division, even if it was only the B division, had at least more than 20,000 people, plus the 200 divisional artillery regiments, and the armored regiment was still unable to advance in Lashio because of the railway problem, and most of the combat strength was lost, and the Japanese planes were lost.

"Alas, it's better for us to fight ourselves, the British are invisible, and the Yankees are invisible. Leave it to us to fight on our own, now at least the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army can enter Burma first to resist the Japanese army, and wait for the 66th Army to enter Burma, and then we can stabilize the situation, but now it is ......."

Dai Anlan angrily slammed his fist on the table, staining the map red.
