"The main seat?" Luo Zhuoying stepped forward and struck a match and handed it to Yue Weihan.

Seeing this, Yue Weihan waved his hand, indicating that he didn't want to smoke, so Luo Zhuoying had no choice but to extinguish the match again.

At this moment, a communications staff officer strode in, and immediately stood up and said: "Commander, the Flying Tigers report that the 55th Division of the Japanese Army suddenly turned around and returned south, and the 56th Division also turned around and returned to Lashio!"

"The old devil of Iida can't hold it anymore!" Luo Zhuoying suddenly said excitedly, "The 55th Division has retracted!" ”

"Great!" Luo Youlun, chief of staff of the Fifth Army, also said excitedly, "At this time, the 18th Division of the Chinese Army will be in a catastrophe, just wait for the Sixth Army to take Mandalay, the situation in the entire Burma will be completely reversed, and in another half a month, when the 39th Group Army arrives in Burma, we will be able to switch to a counteroffensive!" ”

Yue Weihan opened his right hand and squeezed the wet cigarette into his palm.

Iida Shojiro finally retreated, and after realizing the possible disastrous consequences of the fall of Mandalay, the old Iida devil decisively abandoned the 18th Division, and Yue Weihan's adventure succeeded!

This is like stud, Yue Weihan used a small hand, but deceived the old devil of Iida to give up the big card.

The small card used by Yue Weihan is the Sixth Army, but the big card given up by the old devil Iida is the 18th Division!

Regardless of whether the Sixth Army can finally take Mandalay, at least in the first few rounds of the contest, Yue Weihan has already won, Yue Weihan after landing in Burma, Yue Weihan played a series of dazzling combination punches, in Myitkyina lost, the 33rd Division of the Army was defeated, and the 18th Division fell into a heavy siege, Iida Shojiro was completely stunned.

"The main seat." Luo Zhuoying asked Yue Weihan for instructions, "Otherwise, I'll go and telegraph this good news to Dai Anlan and Liao Yaoxiang, so that they can also take a reassuring pill?" ”

Yue Weihan nodded, and just as he was about to agree, another communications staff officer hurriedly walked in.

"Report to the General Seat!" The communications staff officer strode up to Yue Weihan and immediately stood upright, "The tank regiment has smashed the division headquarters of the 18th Division of the Yue Army and successfully captured the regimental flag of the 18th Division of the Yue Army!" However, the remnants of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army broke through separately, and the division commander Mu Taguchi Lian also ran away. ”

"What? Captured the regimental flag of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army!? Yue Weihan was overjoyed when he heard this.

It is not easy to capture the regimental flag of the division on the battlefield, or it is almost impossible!

The divisions of the army were rebuilt soon after the destruction, and the main reason was that the regimental flag was not captured.

Since Yue Weihan crossed into this world, he doesn't know how many battles he has won, and he has annihilated the combat units at the brigade, wing, and brigade level of the army in a formed manner, and there are even several divisions and regiment-level combat units that have been annihilated in formation, but Yue Weihan has never captured the regimental flag so far, not even the team flag!

"Quick." Yue Weihan immediately ordered, "Let the tank regiment immediately send this regimental flag to the headquarters!" ”

"The general seat, it's a pity that the old devil Mutaguchi Renya ran away." Luo Zhuoying said with regret, "If you can capture this old devil alive, then it will really be a long morale." ”

"Haha, Brother You Qing, you should be content." Yue Weihan laughed and said, "Capture a Mutaguchi Ryoya alive, and pick a lieutenant general from the base camp of the army, and the 18th Division will be rebuilt immediately, but the regimental flag of the 18th Division will be surrendered, and most of the numbers of this division will disappear forever from the formation table of the army." ”

"Hehe, I'm going to say that." Luo Zhuoying waved his hand, and then reminded Yue Weihan, "But the 18th Division has not really been destroyed yet, did you order the 200th Division and the new 22nd Division to go all out to clear it?" We have learned the tenacity of the little devil many times, and if we don't kill all the devils, this heart is not very solid after all? ”

Yue Weihan waved his hand and said: "These devil remnants are no longer to worry about, just leave the task of clearing to the 96th Division, and order the 200th Division, the new 22nd Division, and the tank regiment to seize the time to rest and recuperate, ready to meet new tasks at any time!" Liao Yaoxiang, who told Dai Anlan, that the battle had just begun, and now was not the time to reward meritorious deeds! ”

………… Central Myanmar, jungle.

Peng Bisheng trotted and was marching forward with the troops.

Although Peng Bisheng has been among the major generals and division commanders, he is not very old, he is only 34 years old this year, and he is from the Whampoa Military Academy, and his physical fitness is still quite good, but the military uniform on his body is wet and dry, dry and wet, and the bulging folds are already full of salt crystals with white flowers.

"Division, there is a big water swing in front, and the troops can't get through!" The commander of the guard battalion suddenly ran back out of breath.

Half an hour later, Peng Bisheng followed the guard battalion commander to the side of this water, at this time, the guard battalion responsible for opening the road in front of the road had completely stopped, and was resting on the side of the water, Peng Bisheng looked around, only to see that this piece of water was more than 100 meters wide, and the two ends were even more invisible, yellow and clear, and I didn't know how long.

"Map." Peng Bisheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to ask the attendant adjutant for a map.

"Master, I've seen the map!" The commander of the guard battalion said, "This water swing is very long, and the south side is directly connected to the Irrawaddy River, so if you want to go around it, you have to walk at least more than 100 miles!" ”

"What, more than 100 miles?" Peng Bisheng frowned and said, "This is not good, this delay, the 55th Division of the Yue Army will run ahead of us." After that, Peng Bisheng said again, "Damn, it seems that I can only force the crossing, there have been people who have been asked to go into the water to try, how deep is this water?" ”

"The water isn't deep." The commander of the guard battalion said, "The deepest is only up to the thigh......

"What do you say?" Two black lines suddenly appeared on Peng Bisheng's forehead, and he said fiercely, "The deepest is only to the thigh!?" Just such a small puddle, you dare to let the troops stop? ”

"Master, will you listen to what I say?" The commander of the guard battalion smiled bitterly, "Although this water swing is not deep, but the mud under it is very deep, as soon as this foot falls in, the water can go through my neck, not to mention the march, even if it is difficult to move, if the troops want to fight this water swing, it will take more than half a day, and those who are shorter than me will have to drown alive!" ”

Peng Bisheng looked at the head of the guard battalion commander who was more than one meter eight, and was completely speechless.

Looking around, Peng Bisheng suddenly found that there was a Burmese village not far upstream of the water, and his heart immediately moved, and he hurriedly ordered the guard battalion commander: "Quick, let the troops immediately dismantle that village, collect all the door panels, floor slabs and coffin slabs, and then pick out all the people in your camp who are more than 1.8 meters tall!" ”

"Master, do you want to build a pontoon bridge?" The commander of the guard battalion said, "Can you pick a tall one?" ”

"Idiot, how can I build a pontoon bridge now?" Peng Bisheng didn't have a good breath, "Only by letting a tall person carry a wooden plank to build a board bridge, so that the troops can quickly pass through this water swing!" ”

"Yes!" The commander of the guard battalion suddenly realized that he immediately received the order.

In less than half an hour, the guard battalion dismantled the door panels and long floor slabs of the entire Burmese village, and a lot of longevity materials treasured by the Burmese aborigines were also found, at this time, all the soldiers with a height of more than 1.8 meters in the guard battalion have been singled out, and the reinforced battalion of more than 600 people has picked out a total of 200 people.

At the command of division commander Peng Bisheng, more than 200 officers and men of the guard battalion, who were more than 1.8 meters tall, including the commander of the guard battalion, immediately jumped into the muddy water like dumplings.

The wooden bridge had just been built, and the large forces of the 49th Division had arrived.

Exactly two hours later, the large forces of the 49th Division all passed through Shuidang.

Division Commander Peng Bisheng was the last to pass through the water, and as soon as he stepped on the opposite bank, Division Commander Peng beckoned to the guard battalion commander not far away and said, "Battalion Commander Cao, let the brothers go ashore quickly." ”

Not far away, the guard battalion commander closed his eyes tightly and did not respond.

"Battalion Commander Cao?" Master Peng Bisheng's tone suddenly turned higher, and he shouted, "Cao Fusheng! ”

The commander of the guard battalion still did not react, and even several officers and soldiers not far from him did not react.

Division Commander Peng Bisheng's face suddenly changed greatly, and he urgently ordered the attendant adjutant to lead someone to drag the guard battalion commander up from the water, and after the division commander Peng Bisheng untied the guard battalion commander's military uniform, he couldn't believe his eyes!

As far as the eye could see, I saw that the guard battalion commander's legs, stomach, and even neck were crawling with unknown leeches, and the stomachs of these leeches had become round, and they were obviously full of blood! However, the commander of the guard battalion has been dead for a long time, but he still maintains the posture of holding up the door panel when he is dying, and he does not fall.

The attendant adjutant led people to drag out a few officers and soldiers, and all of them died for a long time!

Seeing this, Master Peng Bisheng's nose suddenly became sour, and two lines of hot tears had already burst out of his eyes.

What kind of perseverance did the commander of the guard battalion and the 200 officers and men who acted as the bridge piers need to endure the bite of the leech without making a sound? What kind of courage does it take to face Sanshan's coming death? Don't they know the pain and the danger when the leeches bite all over their bodies? No, of course they did, but none of them flinched!

"Find me!" Master Peng Bisheng wiped away his tears, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it, none of them are alive!" ”

Finally, the attendant adjutant found a person in the middle of the water swing who had not yet breathed, and then led people to drag the senior soldier out of the water swing with great effort, the superior soldier's body was also crawling with blood-sucking leeches, and was already on the verge of dying, in the last moment of his life, the senior soldier struggled and said: "Master, I really want to see the devil surrender......

Before the words fell, the senior soldier swallowed his last breath and passed away forever with infinite affection.

Master Peng Bisheng suddenly howled and cried without any image, and while crying, he pushed the corpse of the superior soldier back to the water, and then knelt on the shore and knelt three times, and said silently: "Brothers, as long as I, Peng Bisheng, am still alive, and on the day the devil surrenders, I will definitely return here to pay tribute to your heroic soul!" ”

After that, Peng Bisheng immediately got up, and then led the guards to chase after the large army.

If time permitted, Commander Peng Bisheng certainly didn't want to leave his soldiers here as lonely ghosts.

However, the military situation is urgent, and the most important task for Division Commander Peng Bisheng now is to lead his troops to take Mandalay before the 55th Division of the Chinese Army returns to help, which is related to the life and death of the 780,000 people of the expeditionary force, and even more so to the life and death of the entire Chinese nation, and he really can't take care of the remains of these 200 officers and soldiers.

………… Meng Gong, Expeditionary Force Headquarters.

It was already past two o'clock in the morning, but Yue Weihan didn't feel sleepy at all.

It has been nearly 70 hours since the Sixth Army marched from Meng Gong, and the Sixth Army should almost arrive in Mandalay after calculating the time, although the climate in Myanmar is very hot, the jungle is dense, and snakes and ants are rampant, there are no big rivers or mountains from Meng Gong to Mandalay, and the march can almost go in a straight line, and the difficulty is not too great!

Yue Weihan was in good spirits, but Luo Zhuoying, who was sitting next to him, was already drowsy.

Luo Zhuoying hadn't woken up from a sleep, and Luo Youlun, chief of staff of the Fifth Army, suddenly rushed into the war room and shouted excitedly: "General seat, the Sixth Army is in an emergency, Mandalay has been taken!" ”

"Good!" Yue Weihan turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Pass on my order, the 200th Division, the new 22nd Division, and all the units directly under the Fifth Army will be driven overnight with the headquarters, and the target is Mandalay!" ”

"Yes." Luo Youlun snapped to the ground, and then hurried back to the telecommunications room.

After conveying the order to all units, Luo Youlun reported to Yucheng again.

………… Sichuan, China.

Just after six o'clock in the morning, Chairman Chiang ascended to the Sword Pavilion accompanied by Mrs. Chiang, General Ho, General Chen, General Bai and other senior generals of the party-state.

Early in the morning, Chairman Chiang led people to climb the swordsman, of course, not to see it.

Chairman Chiang is here to see the 39th Group Army, to be precise, to see Gao Shuxun's new 39th Division!

The Baoshan Division, the 181st Division, the New 6th Division and the New 9th Division of the 39th Group Army have already walked out of Shu Road, and the Baoshan Division has already passed through Yucheng, and Chairman Jiang has also seen it from afar.

Gao Shuxun's new 39th Division has not yet arrived, but the good news from Myanmar has arrived first.

General He, who was lagging behind, suddenly caught up and said excitedly: "Commission, good news, the expeditionary force has won successive battles in Burma, following the capture of Myitkyina by the new 38th Division, after the Fifth Army defeated the 33rd and 18th Divisions of the Yue Army, the Sixth Army also drove 700 miles to recapture Mandalay, an important town in central Burma, and the tide of the war in Burma has been completely reversed!" ”

General Bai and other accompanying generals were immediately excited when they heard this, but Chairman Chiang seemed to be in a state of gloomy mood.

Seeing that the expeditionary force was about to be built into another tiger and wolf division by Yue Weihan, Chairman Jiang was not happy at all, the reason was very simple, while the expeditionary force was transformed by Yue Weihan, it was inevitably branded by Yue Weihan, and from then on, this army was no longer his descendant of Jiang.
