In just a few days, the wounds on Dai Anlan's body had begun to heal, and when he heard that there was a situation, he forced someone to carry him over and asked, "What's the situation?" ”

Li Qiang said: "Just ten days ago, on the way from Myitkyina to Tengchong, there was an endless stream of refugees, and the people who came were all overseas Chinese from Myanmar. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 Later, we received orders to collect food and enter Burma to help the ragged national army. My 1,000 men set out from Tengchong and arrived at the stockade near Myitkyina on the night of May 7. Later, we took the food and sent people in several directions to meet the rout. ”

Li Wei said: "Don't break the army." ”

Li Qiang said: "You all know what happened next. Just now, our people came to report that after the Japanese occupied Myitkyina on the 8th, they pursued the retreating soldiers and arrived at Tengchong. At this time, Tengchong was already an undefended city. ”

Zheng Tingjian said: "No defense? ”

Li Qiang said: "The commander of the Self-Defense Forces stationed in the Tengchong area is Long Shenwu, the son of Long Yun. After receiving the news of the Japanese army's advance, Long Shenwu kept it secret and stepped up his efforts to transport his relatives and property, cars, and horse teams, and fled to Kunming. They fled, and with the refugee saying that, everyone knew what was going on. ”

The next night, Qiu Tianpei, the county magistrate, fled with the Self-Defense Forces and police. The dragons were leaderless, the militia dispersed, and only the people remained. The people of Tengchong fled with their homes, leaving behind an empty city. This was on the 7th. Three days later, a mere 292 Japanese soldiers marched straight into Tengchong and occupied the city without firing a single shot. ”

"The Japanese occupied Tengchong, did all kinds of evil, looted, set fires, killed people, **, ate people's hearts and livers, and lost their conscience!"

The crowd was silent.

Li Qiang said: "I suggest sending a telegram to the commander-in-chief asking for the recovery of Tengzhong." I've died a few times, don't be afraid. Captain Lee saved my life. He said he didn't want me to thank him, but wanted me to repay the people. Well, here's your chance to repay. ”

Li Wei said: "Calm down. Li Qiang, don't be impulsive. Let's cross the river first. The location for crossing the river and the ferry are already ready. Now it's getting late, and it's time to act. Let's go. ”

After crossing the railway line, the large force crossed the river at a ferry port downstream. One boat, a dozen bamboo rafts. After crossing the river, it was already midnight.

May 25, North Myitkyina.

The next morning, dozens of miles away from Myitkyina, Li Wei said: "Although there are Japanese, this is our territory. Let's go, let's stay first. ”

The army walked into a valley and saw dozens of houses scattered on a flat ground halfway up the mountain.

At noon, Zheng Tingjian came to Dai Anlan's room and said, "Commander, they are in a meeting. I see that they have a radio station, a military training ground, and farmland nearby, tea plantations, and rubber plantations, but I don't know what the road is. ”

Dai Anlan said: "After all, people saved our lives. Gotta work together. And they were right. We are in command of the unfavorable. The upper echelons are suspicious of each other, the troops are factional, where is there a possibility of winning the war? Who do you see they are? ”

Zheng Tingji: "They are all Chinese, I guess they are communists." ”

Dai Anlan: "You go and explore the truth and see how we work together." I wonder if we're going to take Teng Chong down. ”

Zheng Tingji said: "Yes." ”

When he came to the conference room, he said to the sentry at the door: "I have something to do, and I want to see your chief." ”

The sentry said, "We don't call you sir. You wait. ”

Without waiting for the sentry to report, Li Wei greeted him early and said, "Master Zheng, please come in." ”

There were only three people in the room, Li Wei, Li Qiang, and a businessman.

Zheng Tingji said: "Disturbed." ”

Li Wei said: "It's okay. We are also about to discuss with you our next steps. What are your plans? ”

Zheng Tingji: "Our radio station is gone, ask the radio station that borrowed you, get in touch with the base camp, and wait for orders." ”

Li Wei said: "Yes." ”

Li Qiang said: "I have a suggestion. He glanced at Li Wei. Seeing that Li Wei had no intention of stopping him, he said, "I suggest that you do not get in touch with the base camp for the time being, and we will fight guerrillas behind enemy lines." Contact them, the superior blindly commands, the monk says chanting, and the Taoist priest asks him to meditate. It is impossible to win the battle. ”

The businessman said: "We have covered your military rations." In addition, Li Qiang meant that as long as the Americans and the British did not obey President Chiang's orders. To put it bluntly, there is no malice, you don't mind. ”

Li Weidao: "I forgot to introduce, this is He Wenyuan, Chairman He." ”

He Wenyuan said: "I have heard the name of the 200th division for a long time. It's an honor to supply you. ”

Li Weidao: "The latest news, Zhang Wende, a celebrity in Tengchong County, has been appointed as the county magistrate. Mr. Zhang Wende is 62 years old, idle at home, and was appointed to be the anti-Japanese county magistrate in danger, and in front of more than 100 onlookers, Zhang Wende took the oath of office. Provincial Chairman Long Yun conferred the rank of law enforcement officer on Major General Zhang Wende to serve the public and coordinate the local military administration. We have already gotten in touch with Mr. Zhang. ”

Zheng Tingji: "What is the situation of the Japanese army? ”

Li Wei: "The county magistrate Zhang Wende set up the wartime county government and the anti-Japanese forward base in the northwest of Teng in the Jietou and Qushi areas. The Japanese army was less than 3,000, and after occupying Tengchong, the main force went north, trying to cross the Nu River and occupy Baoshan. Hundreds of people in the vanguard had already crossed the river and were killed. At present, the enemy and the national army are facing off on both sides of the Nu River. ”

Zheng Tingji: "What do you mean by leadership?" ”

Li Wei glanced at him and said, "Fight guerrillas behind enemy lines." Disrupt the enemy's logistical supplies. I want to work well with you. ”

Li Qiang said: "Don't worry, we only fight guerrillas in the Japanese occupation areas. It saves you from friction. ”

Zheng Tingji: "Three, let's have a meeting with Master Dai, how about it?" ”

The four of them arrived at Dai Anlan's room. Zheng Tingjian and Li Wei introduced the situation, and Dai Anlan said: "If I guess correctly, you are from Yan'an. ”

Li Wei smiled but did not answer.

Zheng Tingjian said: "I still have 7,000 people, and 3,000 to fight the Japanese is enough." It's a pity that I'm a mechanized unit, so much equipment is thrown away, only light weapons. The Japanese had tanks, they had heavy weapons. ”

Li Qiang said: "His twenty taels of tanks are twenty piles of cow dung in my eyes. Dozens of mountain cannons are nothing. ”

Dai Anlan said: "Fight." I accept your suggestion not to contact the base camp for the time being, and to cut it first and then play. ”

He Wenyuan said: "Your army's radio station was lost, and heavy weapons were discarded. With the help of the villagers, he walked out of the mountains, encountered the Japanese army, returned to the country with a heartfelt heart, and attacked all the way, not wanting to recover Tengchong, Myitkyina, Bamo and other places. Does this statement make sense? ”

Zheng Tingjian said: "Okay, that's easy to explain." ”

Dai Anlan said: "Let's study the combat plan. ”

Li Qiang said: "There is the support of the people. We're going to win. ”

He Wenyuan said: "In the future, if we win, Master Dai should remember to give us some convenience, then we will be grateful to Dade." In the future, when there is friction, I hope to raise my noble feet. We are little guerrillas, and you can trample us to death with one kick. ”

On 27 May, the new 200th Division attacked Myitkyina. There were only a few thousand Japanese defenders in the area. One day of attack, Myitkyina was restored. Originally, Dai Anlan and others all thought that the Japanese army had strong combat effectiveness, and although there were only 1,000 people, it would take three or five days to capture it. Considering that they only have light weapons and ammunition with their own troops, some people think that it will take ten days to do it, but after such a long time, the devil reinforcements will arrive. As a result, the officers were divided.

Unexpectedly, Li Qiang's troops had heavy weapons, which were a kind of earthen cannons, which were very effective. In addition, they did not know what tactics they adopted, so they entered behind enemy lines from the small road and disrupted the Japanese army at once, resulting in a quick victory.

At the same time, the Japanese troops of Tengchong and Ba Mo had already reinforced Myitkyina.

On May 28, Japanese troops in the direction of Myitkyina were attacked on a mountain road. The guerrillas blew up 16 tanks and more than a dozen artillery pieces of the Japanese army, and annihilated more than 1,000 Japanese reinforcements.

Before entering Burma, the newly formed 200th Division received American equipment and American-style military training, and it felt that it was terrible, as if China was invincible, but once it lost its heavy equipment, its combat effectiveness plummeted. This time, he saw that the poorly dressed guerrillas were able to easily blow up tanks.

The guerrillas' tank-fighting weapons are operated by two people, and they are always packed in cloth bags on weekdays, and they are never shown to anyone. I don't know if it's to improve the hit rate, or to keep it from being seen, but in battle, weapons are always deployed in a very high position.

A new 200th division saw the weapon and told the commander. The entire new 200th Division was puzzled, because they had never seen such a weapon before.

Up to now, after several battles, the new 200th Division admires the guerrillas very much, and some people even begin to fear their combat strength. There are intelligence officers in the troops, and they are also secretly paying attention and preparing to report the information.

The newly formed 200th Division blocked the Japanese army on the road from Ba Mo to Myitkyina, and after the guerrillas blew up ten tanks and a dozen mountain guns, the 200 Division inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese army, pursued all the way, and attacked Ba Mo.

A similar scene continued to be staged, the new 200th Division attacked for one day, and at night, Bamo was recovered.

The guerrillas attacked Tengchong and recovered Tengchong at night.

May 29th. The guerrillas blew up dozens of miles of railways and roads to Myitkyina.

On May 30, the vanguard of the new 200th Division and the expeditionary force of Baoshan joined forces and stationed in Myitkyina, and the Japanese army was stationed in the south.

On the same day, Li Wei, commander-in-chief of the Kokang coalition forces in Wa State, was stationed in Ba Mo, and the Japanese army was stationed in the south.

A month later, the Japanese army pressed the border, the expeditionary force was defeated, retreated to the north of the Nujiang River, and began a years-long confrontation with the Japanese army. Li Wei took the initiative to abandon the city and led his troops to fight guerrilla warfare in enemy-occupied areas.

Li Wei collected a large number of routs on the Eastern Front in Wa State and Kokang, and some were sent back to the expeditionary force, and some remained under his command.

This time to rescue the expeditionary force and retreat back to China, Li Wei achieved great success. It not only consolidated the two enclaves of Kokang Wa, but also harvested a large number of soldiers. At the same time, they also gained respect and friendship with the expeditionary force, which laid a good foundation for the future.

1. On May 18, 1942, Dai Anlan was injured (some say he was shot twice, some say three bullets). On the evening of May 26, 1942, when the 200th Division and the enemy went to a Kachin cottage called Mao State in Burma, due to wound ulceration and infection, Dai Anlan, a famous anti-Japanese general, died of hatred at the age of 38. At that time, there was no wooden coffin in Burma, and the general's horse leather shrouded him returned to China. Passing through Baoshan, Kunming, Guiyang, Liuzhou and other places, to Quanzhou, Guangxi, the body was placed in Xiangshan Temple, and the people along the way were all in tears, and the grand memorial to General Dai.

2, Zhang Wende, "Answer to the Book of Tajima".

Lord Tajima:

The letter was expressed in the suffering of the people of Tengchong, and he wanted to seek relief through a long meeting and talks. If China has not been invaded and can maintain normal diplomatic relations with Japan, Yu will certainly give sympathetic consideration. However, the development of events has swept away the basis for the sympathetic consideration of the remaining generals.

As Your Excellency said in the letter, Tengchong Shi follows the people's goodness, mellow customs, is the first paradise in the southwest, and is a promising hometown. However, since the turn of events, more than 2,000 people have died under the guns of Tengchong, more than 50,000 houses have been destroyed by fire, 5,000 mules and horses have been lost, millions of stones of grain have been lost, and nearly 5 billion people have been looted of property. So that the people's fathers lose their sons, and their wives lose their husbands, and they have no shelter from the wind and rain when they live, and they have no way to try to make a living, crying hunger and cold, and sitting and waiting to die;

even enslaved by your Excellency and your associates, and scourged; or has been sent to Myitkyina to serve as cannon fodder. In particular, it is one of the humiliations suffered by women. All this is the suffering of the people of Tengchong. Yu Yuan frankly explained to you that such suffering is given by you and your colleagues, and such gifts are crimes. Because of the dignity and life of the people, the rest can only condemn such crimes, and even more so to express heartfelt sympathy to the suffering people.

Since you want to relieve the suffering of the people of Tengchong, although Yu does not know what the plan for your dissolution will be, Yu is one of the citizens of China and one of the officials of the local government of Tengchong, and because of Yu's responsibility and conscience, there is no need or possibility for any plan you propose. However, if you wish that your goodwill to relieve the suffering of the people of Tengchong can be extended, then the only way you can offer to you is to ask you and your colleagues to return to Tokyo. So that the people of Tengchong will be eternal

Away from the pain of life under the coercion of guns, he returned to his hometown from the land of wandering and rebuilt his paradise on top of the broken wells. Then, when China is no longer being invaded in Japan, when the matter has been brought to justice, and when normal diplomatic relations with Japan have been restored, I will fly to Tokyo, as you have requested, not to discuss any military questions, nor to carry armed guards, to meet with you and your associates, so that the suffering of the people of Xie Tengchong may be relieved; He will also go to the Yasukuni Shrine to pray for the blessings of the nearly 10,000 Japanese officers and soldiers who died in the Tengchong battle, and may the above people forgive their crimes. Gou Tengchong is still entrenched by Your Excellency and his colleagues, and all crimes continue to occur, and he can only do his best to fulfill his responsibilities. In the future, Your Excellency will no longer have a mellow feeling for Tengchong. Because of the pressure of morality and justice, which will cause Your Excellency and your colleagues to one day submit before Yu and my Tengchong people, Yu declines the meeting of your Excellency at the chosen place for a long talk, and will engage in such things that are more beneficial to the dignity of human life. The people of Tengchong of Pain will know very well what they should do to relieve their own suffering. Therefore, I am concerned about the imminent tragic end fate of Your Excellency and your colleagues, and I dare to ask Your Excellency to think carefully and for a long time.

Zhang Wende, magistrate of Tengchong County, Yunnan Province, Republic of China
