Chapter 214: Two Wings

The lieutenant colonel's words made all the officers in the room raise their heads and naturally puff out their chests.

The elite's refusal to admit defeat, and that pride comes from the heart.

Dai Anlan always stared at this subordinate who only remembered his name in early spring, as if he was observing a stranger.

He has always disliked people who can only talk big words and have no actual content, if Huang Jingsheng says so much, if he can't be truthful, as long as he Dai Anlan is still alive, he will kill this lieutenant colonel.

Dai Anlan asked with a serious face, "Deputy Head Huang, are you sure that you can defeat the Japanese invaders?"

Huang Jingsheng stood up and said forcefully: "Report to the master's seat, although the success of his subordinates is uncertain, Chengren is determined!"

Zheng Tingjian shouted hello, and everyone shouted out, but Dai Anlan stared at the other party for a long time, and still had no actual strategy, so he had to turn around and order the adjutant: "Bring the map!"

The adjutant took the map left by the British and laid it out on the conference table.

Dai Anlan used a red pencil to draw two circles on the Pehe River and Ekechun in Tonggu's advance position, the latter of which was larger than the former. When he had finished rowing, he straightened up and sat everyone down, but he was still standing, and said in a deep voice:

"The military seat has instructed to fight with the ancient army to destroy the main force of the Japanese invaders. The 200th Division was the best decoy to attract the enemy, and then the expeditionary force would concentrate on encircling and destroying the enemy. This requires our 200th Division to hold on to Tonggu and wait for reinforcements to hold back the enemy.

The situation in Tonggu is well known - the British, in a hurry to flee, threw us an empty city without strong fortifications. If we want to hold on, we need time, deploy troops, and strengthen the fortifications. Therefore, we must resist the invading enemy! ”

Speaking of which, Dai Anlan pointed to the first small circle with a pencil:

"The Pew River was our first forward position, but it was not a good place to defend and could only surprise the enemy. I order the Mobu to send a force to defend it, and to attack the invading enemy head-on!"

He pointed to the second red circle: "Ekechun is my second forward position, which is conducive to defense, and it can hold out for several days to gain time to help consolidate my city defense." I will hand over this important task to Deputy Head Huang Jingsheng!"

When Huang Jingsheng heard his name, he jumped up from his seat. "Deputy Regiment Commander Huang, I order you to lead two battalions of infantry to defend the Ekechun position, give the enemy a head start, and thwart its spirit. As long as you can hold out in Ekechun for three days, your mission will be successfully completed!"

Huang Jingsheng did not show the slightest timidity, stood up and replied loudly.

Dai Anlan moved his gaze to Zhang Ziwen and said to Zhang Ziwen: "Brother, I want to ask your guerrilla detachment to be responsible for the security of the two wings, not to be able to resist for a long time, but to be able to warn in advance."

Zhang Ziwen said unequivocally and directly about this kind of thing: "My guerrilla detachment is willing to accompany the two hundred brothers to fight to the death, but it is ......."

Zhang Ziwen put forward only a few words because Dai Anlan thought that Zhang Ziwen had mentioned the number, but Zhang Ziwen said: "However, I may not be able to stop it on the east side, there is the Bago Mountains in the west, and I can block the Japanese army in the mountains, but the east side is really a flat river, and it can only be defended according to the north bank of the Xidang River."

In terms of fighting in the mountains, just 800 people in the teaching team can drag down a brigade of the Japanese army, not to mention that Zhang Ziwen plans to hand over Mao Wenguang to Zhang Li.

In this way, with a strength of almost 2,000 troops, the Japanese army would never put a wing into the vast mountains, and it must be a pig's brain to be the commander of the Japanese army like that.

"One more thing, I need supplies from the British army, mainly compressed biscuits, and I should have British rifles. If I can, I'll receive all the Lee Field rifles with the official exchange. ”

Dai Anlan was a little puzzled, because the British army only had so much ammunition, and it was impossible for the British army to send supplies, and then the ammunition would become a problem.

"Brother, why is that? Ammunition replenishment is not easy. ”

Zhang Ziwen replied: "There are two kinds of Lifield rifles, one is longer and the other is shorter, there are many thorns in the jungle, and the rifle is long, but it is a kind of restraint, so I want to exchange the rifle for the troops stationed in the Bago Mountains."

Dai Anlan knew the reason and spoke directly: "Take the short ones directly, and use the long ones as spare firearms, you take eighty percent of the ammunition, and you take half of the handleless grenades."

Zhang Ziwen should have one thing that he didn't say, that is, Ying Qiqi can be used as a sniper rifle, which is undoubtedly a big killing weapon in the jungle.

Dai Anlan handed over the matter to Zheng Tingjian and Gao Jiren, and walked out of the headquarters with Zhang Ziwen himself.

"I'm sorry for you again this time, I didn't expect the British army to be so unbearable, make it like this, if you can leave when you can't do anything, I will tell the military seat that I ordered this, and you don't have to take responsibility."

Zhang Ziwen looked at the starless night sky, looked at the sky and said: "This time, our guerrilla detachment went out to fight 4,392 people, and buried 32 brothers on the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and exactly 4,360 people arrived in Tonggu. Before the expedition, I told the brothers that we might not be able to return to our hometown in this life, but no one retreated, this is our Qianjun would rather die than retreat, but now my brother wants us to retreat, but he looks down on my Qianjun and looks down on us people? ”

Dai Anlan was blocked for a while and couldn't speak, the reason why he brought Zhang Ziwen was just thinking that he could do the task of the fire team. But he never expected that he would encounter an unquenchable fire this time, and he didn't even know how many Japanese soldiers there were, so how did he fight Dai Anlan?

Fighting at home, how can you know what troops are on the other side. But when he arrived in Burma, he only knew about the 15th Army of the Japanese Army, and he Dai Anlan had never even heard of the 15th Army, and no matter how hard the country was, the villagers would help, and as long as he turned back, the people would help.

Here, there is only an empty city, and there is nothing. Except for the two hundred divisions and the guerrilla detachment, there was not a single person alive.

After a long time, Dai Anlan said: "I didn't look down on my brothers in the Qianjun Army, my 200 Division, the New 22nd Division, and the New 38th Division are not the skeleton supported by the soldiers of Guizhou, and I can't hide it, I also wanted to ask you for some soldiers to replenish, but I think it is better to bring my brother to the battlefield."

Zhang Ziwen also sat on the ground with Dai Anlan and looked up at the sky together.

"Brother, you only have about 200 people now, can you resist the frontal attack of the Japanese army?"

Dai Anlan lay directly on the ground, like an old farmer.

"The No. 5 and 38th Division will set off from Kunming, and the Sixth Army will also start from Wan Town, plus the 66th Army, a total of 100,000 troops plus the British, how can it be enough to block a division of the Japanese army."

Zhang Ziwen knew that this was just Dai Anlan's words to comfort himself, with the current combat effectiveness of the British army, he really didn't have this confidence, but what could he do?
