Chapter 223: Retreat

The meeting was over, and Ekewen's good news also came, but the uneasiness in Dai Anlan's heart became more and more intense, and in this mood, Dai Anlan decided to write a letter.

Walk into his room and pull out a Parker pen he hadn't used in a long time, the pen had been with him since high school.

At that time, he was a scholar, Dai Anlan scattered his nonsense and wrote:

Dear Hexin,

Yu was ordered to stick to Tonggu this time, because the above plan, the plan was undecided, the rear of the rain was too far away, the enemy moved quickly, and now our army is fighting alone, determined to sacrifice all in order to repay the country's upbringing. It is extremely glorious to die for the country. All I miss is that my mother was out and couldn't serve. Duan Gongxian died, for his funeral, your mother and son, life in the future, should be more painful, but Dong Jin is very smart, in the future, there will be great success, you know, you can have a day of suffering for a few years, I hope don't think of me. Last year, I am sorry for you, I hope you can forgive me, I want to deploy and kill the enemy too busy, I hope you will respect yourself, and love your children, serve your mother, your father is in southern Anhui, you don't have to report it. Hand is the song.

Anlan hand Qi three, twenty-three.

I thought about it indifferently, and wrote such a sentence behind the sex, You can negotiate the cost of living with Shikawa, Zimo, and Erkui, because one, because they handle me and I don't know, presumably they will be able to live with their conscience and will live up to me.

Dai Anlan thought about it again and again, and wrote to three friends again.

After that, it was handed over to the adjutant to be sent to the rear, waiting to be sent back to the country.

In the early morning of the next day, the Japanese army, starting from the morning, launched a fierce attack on the Ekechun position by means of a combined air force, and at 9 a.m. made a detour from the Keyonggang airfield, which is about 100 kilometers west of the railway, about 100 kilometers and about 8 kilometers from Tonggu, with about three squadrons, five or six hundred men, and a few small guns.

At this time, because of Du Luming's orders, the third battalion was building fortifications, and the good news came yesterday that caused the Japanese army to pass without knowing.

The Japanese army bypassed the position of the third battalion and made a detour from the west, at this time the engineer regiment was sabotaging the railway, and suddenly the Japanese army did not even have a gun in hand, and withdrew directly to the north.

When Zhang Ziwen heard the gunshots in Beicheng, he was immediately frightened half to death, and immediately led people to the Dai Anlan headquarters.

As soon as he saw Dai Anlan, he stepped forward directly: "Please punish Master Dai, it is the subordinates who are not defending well."

Dai Anlan held Zhang Ziwen up, he knew that Du Luming's sudden order would inevitably lead to a defensive hole in the guerrilla detachment, but he didn't expect the Japanese army to be so fast.

"Brother, get up, the current important matter, how to drive out the Japanese army in Beicheng?"

Zhang Ziwen also knew that this was indeed his own problem, and immediately gave Lu Wenqing a look behind him, and Lu Wenqing immediately ran back to the guerrilla detachment headquarters and asked Mao Wenguang to step up his position and build a blockade of the Japanese army.

Dai Anlan took Zhang Ziwen to the sand table and said: "Brother, look, now the third battalion of your guerrilla detachment is placed west of Tonggu, and a large piece of land has been vacated in the west, and the Japanese army can intersperse at will. Originally, according to your idea, it was completely possible to block the Japanese army, so that the Japanese army did not dare to enter, and it could be annihilated if it entered, but now even if we eat this Japanese army, it will not help, but will make the defense of the west of the city weaker, and if the Japanese army comes back to make a big detour by itself, the west of the city will be gone. ”

Zhang Ziwen agrees very much, in fact, the best way is to give up the passage and pull up a battle line between the Xidang River and the Bago Mountains, so that the Japanese planes will not be able to exert their strength, and the Japanese army will not be able to break through Tonggu.

But Zhang Ziwen knew that this method would not be adopted, because in Du Luming's mind, defending the city was the most important thing.

But this is not a country, there are no our compatriots in the city, there are only 200 divisions in the city, we don't have to protect anyone, we just need to stop the Japanese army.

Last night, Du Luming had already said that it was impossible to abandon the city.

"My three battalions plus the troops going to the north of the city will not have a problem eating this Japanese army, but it will always be a danger if we let them stay behind our backs."

Dai Anlan still waved his hand, pointed to Keyonggang Airport and said: "The British army will not give us any more support, so it is useless to keep the airport, I have sent people to destroy it, as long as the Japanese army can't use it." We have to gather our troops, defend Tonggu, and take the east as our only way to retreat, and my brother depends on you. ”

Zhang Ziwen saw that Dai Anlan closed his eyes, knowing that he had already decided to give up.

After a long time, Dai Anlan opened his eyes: "Gaojiren, notify all the forward positions, withdraw all to Tonggu at night, let the 589th Regiment strengthen the northern position, and the division directly subordinate team reinforce the southern position, and notify all personnel to hold a meeting at 8 o'clock in the evening."

Once the word is settled, there is no chance of repentance.

Zhang Ziwen returned to the command headquarters, sat down in a hurry before he came, and Mao Wenguang called.

"Commander, the commander of the third battalion called, the Japanese army about a brigade broke through from the right flank of the position to the north of the city, and it was not entangled at all."

Zhang Ziwen climbed into the car and rushed all the way towards Dai Anlan's headquarters.

"Brother Dai, a brigade of the Japanese army reinforces the north of the city, and does not entangle with our army, please send someone to support it quickly."

Dai Anlan was so excited that he directly held the pen in his hand.

"The Japanese army is going to break my Tonggu, immediately notify the 598th Regiment to strengthen the defense, and the division will directly support the north of the city."

The sun was in the west, slowly falling in the artillery fire, and when it was dark, there was a sea of fire with the position of the northern city of the ancient city, and this time it failed to prevent the Japanese air attack.

There were more than 20 colonels sitting in the headquarters of the 200 divisions, and as long as the Japanese planes were a little off, Tonggu would have fallen.

"The Japanese army has captured Keyonggang Airport and surrounded Tonggu from three directions: north, south and west, and it is time for us to be loyal to the country.

From now on, my two hundred junior sisters, the division commander died in battle, the deputy division commander was replaced by the deputy division commander, the deputy division commander was killed in battle, the chief of staff was killed in battle, the infantry commander was replaced, and the infantry commander was killed in battle.

Everybody, let's write a suicide note. ”

The meeting was very brief, and there were only so many, which meant that all the officers and men of the 200 Division had made up their minds to live and die together with the ancients.

To the two hundred and ten, from March 18 to contact with the Japanese army Qian Shao, in the outskirts of the ancient city of the fortification, has been fighting for a week, not all, the assembly of the expeditionary force soldiers, won precious time.

However, the British army repeatedly delayed under the pretext of the general headquarters, and the expeditionary force was really unable to reach Tonggu.

Even Du Luming had already personally run to the back of the scoop, he was going to come with the 55th Division to rescue the 200th Division, but the road was far away, and God knows how long Tonggu could hold on.

Overlooking the whole of Burma, only the 22nd Yedasi Division was closer to the 200th Division, but they also had only one main regiment and one supplementary regiment. The Japanese could easily blockade the road and railway with only the troops north of the city.

It's hard, it's hard.

Zhang Ziwen looked at the officers and soldiers of the 200 divisions who were writing a suicide note, and he was even more helpless in his heart, his suicide note had been handed over to Ma Xiaobao before he set off.

In other words, his suicide note was written during the defense of Wuhan.

The people of this era are difficult, difficult.
