Ma Qiang and Xu Chong were still in the south of Tengchong City to come to Fengshan to reconnoitre, and they did not know how senior the Japanese officers who attended the banquet were, but the radio station overheard that the southern organs attached great importance to this banquet and asked the 56th Division to send a decent officer to the banquet to win the hearts of the local people. This is the first time that the Japanese army has opened up the Chinese mainland after launching the Pacific War, and it is of high value in terms of propaganda, and it seems that the local maintenance will be completed in a very short time, because the candidates have been drawn up long ago.

Of course, I don't know if the participants will bring a map, but if it is a high-ranking officer, it is naturally very likely to bring the staff headquarters and map, so Lin planned to go to the Yang family's mansion outside the city to search the house first, waiting for the Japanese to come to the door.

In this operation, Ma Qiang and Xu Chong did not show up and supported in the shadows. However, they could provide some firepower and intelligence support, and after the operation was completed, it was also the time when Lin Xiuxuan broke away from Songshan, and as the scattered people of the 96th Division continued to come from the south, it was only a matter of time before he, the commander of the engineer company, went through the gang. After leaving here, they expected to meet Qin Xiaosu and help him prepare for the evacuation, which was also close to Chu Aiyun's central defense line, and they could help the deputy captain hold on to central Burma for a while.

After the Huitong Bridge was cut off, in fact, the expeditionary force's way back to China had been cut off, but Du Yuming did not know that he was cornered, and he did not want to go to India because Chiang Kai-shek was worried that his army would go to India and get out of his control (which was quite prescient), so he strictly ordered to "find a way to return home". With Du Yuming's character, he is most likely to compromise and go to Myitkyina, where to find a way to the east, at present, his command has reached Banmao, and the retreat of the 96th and 200th divisions of the rear guard is not smooth, and they are constantly attacked and disturbed by the Japanese 56th division, and they suffer heavy losses.

In fact, it is not realistic to return to China from Myitky through the ancient tea horse road in the Tengyue area, because you also need to face the Nu River. At least a few pontoon bridges needed to be erected, but the US engineering advisers tried out the new pontoon equipment on the river for two days in a row, but all failed. It is very difficult to tie the bridge deck on the mountain using steel cables. The situation is similar to the Japanese pontoon bridge on the Irrawaddy River not long ago, but the water flow of the Nu River is more turbulent, and the construction is naturally more difficult, and it takes time to explore the hydrological data of the river to find a suitable location, but the problem faced by the expeditionary force is that there is no time.

At present, there is no ready-made bridge on the river, only two mountain slides left over from the Qing Dynasty across both sides, relying on steel cables to transport people back and forth, and only a dozen people can pass every hour. If the command of the expeditionary force refuses to face the reality, but oscillates between going west to India and returning to China, then they can only continue to march north to delay time, and the old outcome of losing most of them in the end will be difficult to change.

What role can the special team play in such a life-and-death situation, Lin Xiuxuan already has several plans, including electronic deception of the expeditionary force, inducing them to go west at the precious time of Chu Tingchang blocking the Japanese army in the middle, and even the worst plan - not hesitating to end its headquarters and kill Du Yuming, so as to save more than 100,000 troops, according to Lin Xiuxuan, Luo Zhuoying is inclined to go to India, while Du Yuming is more loyal to Chiang Kai-shek.

Lin Xiuxuan led these 20 soldiers, most of them were formal, only one Czech, obviously lacking firepower, and most importantly, they had not been run-in, and they didn't know how they were. However, Ma Qiang reported that there were very few Japanese troops coming to Tengchong, only 1,000 or hundred, and they were all in a hurry to seize the vast Tengyue area, and the troops were very scattered. So killing a few traitors and fighting an ambush may be enough.

They went straight down the valley to cross the waist-deep Liang River. Hearing sparse gunfire from a distance, it was not a firefight, but just a Japanese army shooting into the sky to scare the people running into the mountains.

The unit quickly crossed the ravine, dodging the fleeing peasants in the mountains, and headed for the target, without encountering Japanese troops along the way.

In the headquarters on the mountain north of Mangshi, Zhang Lingfu is still thinking about how to defend, it seems that Du Yuming is getting farther and farther away from him, and the defense here is completely on his own. However, at present, his strength is abundant, in addition to more than 6,000 people in the 3 regiments of the 58th Division, and nearly 10,000 newly accommodated defeated troops. The 55th Division of the Japanese Army decisively interspersed to the east of Meimiao, cutting off the defenders in this area, as well as part of the rear guard of the expeditionary force retreating from Mandalay. The Japanese troops on the outskirts of Lashio were insufficient, and the encirclement was too late to form, and many expeditionary forces that fell behind came here easily, and if the US airdrops continued, and with enough weapons to equip several divisions from the warehouses in Lashio, it would not be a problem to hold on.

"Good news, Master." Deputy Division Commander Cai rushed in to report the good news, "The U.S. military promised to drop a field hospital down at night. We need to be ready on the ground. ”

"Airdrop Hospital?"

Master Zhang stayed where he was, this matter was beyond imagination.

"Really?"

"Really. Stilwell is currently in Yingduo, with Commander Luo, and Chief Du's whereabouts are not very clear. They said that they could contact him directly in the future, and there was no need to waste unnecessary time. ”

"Americans are amazing. Airdrop hospitals? So, it is also possible to take pictures from the air to complete the map? ”

He sighed.

"At the last meeting, didn't Sun Liren say that the power of the United States is not something that can be imagined by an agrarian country? The weapons we have knocked out since the beginning of the war have been ...... for half a year No, he said he could build it in a month. ”

"yes, I thought he was just babbling."

"By the way, there is one more thing, Liu Xianwen of the 96th Regiment of the 287th Division has just arrived in our defense area and brought a battalion...... He said that he had met with Commander Du for the last time three days ago and knew the full plan for the final military meeting. ”

"Is this person reliable? If Lin Linqi is here, he can let him admit it. Zhang Lingfu asked, he was assassinated once, and there was some rumor.

"Reliable, it's my fellow countryman, there can be a fake here, and besides, where is there a fake one who brought a battalion over."

"Okay, please, I have something to ask him."

Soon, a lean-looking colonel came to Zhang Lingfu and saluted him.

"It's just in time, I only received an order from the headquarters to retreat to Songshan, do you have any specific instructions for deployment?"

"Retreat to Matsuyama? No," Liu Xianwen looked surprised, "Du always wants your army to march towards the Huitong Bridge and try to return to China on its own, or make a surprise attack on Meimiao Myitkyina and make peace with the brigade." ”

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure I was there at the last military meeting, and Stilwell lost his temper, saying that it would be divided by the Japanese and that the losses would be great. However, he did not have the right to command, and the order was later signed by Commander-in-Chief Luo and handed over to the American planes for airdrop. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Lingfu turned to Deputy Division Commander Cai Renjie.

Cai Renjie seemed to have a faster brain than the division commander, and immediately found the cylinder containing the order from the pile of miscellaneous things on the side of the table.

"Look, is this it?"

"Yes, that's it, I remember that the parachute line above is this color, and it should be a handwritten letter from Commander Luo."

Cai Renjie handed over the order, did not speak, and waited and watched.

"No, it can't be, the order is not like this, this is not the result of the meeting...... If the order had been given like this, there would have been no quarrel with Stilwell at the meeting...... Slow down...... This is not the handwriting of Commander Luo Zhong......"

Zhang Lingfu and Cai Renjie stared wide-eyed. It was Cai Renjie who thought of the link that might go wrong first.

"Is there a captain in your engineer battalion surnamed Lin in Burma?"

"Our engineer battalion did not enter Burma with the army, and was responsible for road construction in western Yunnan. Not only us, but the ...... of other divisions"

"Let me ask you again, does your division have a captain named Lin Linqi?"

"No, absolutely not, I have seen all of them above the lieutenant level of my division, and there is absolutely no such one. But how is the name so familiar? ”

Liu Xianwen frowned and walked back and forth. The commander and deputy commander of the 58th Division next to him could only wait.

"By the way, last month, the military commander went to our 288th regiment to investigate the enemy's special case, and he also asked about this name, I said why is it so familiar, and said that once I encountered this Lin Linqi, I would arrest him immediately."

At dusk, Lin Xiuxuan led 20 people to the Yang family's mansion, this group of people had not eaten for a day, and they had no complaints about their good footsteps, and they seemed to be indeed elite. They looked down in the woods on the mountain, but they didn't expect that there was such a magnificent courtyard on the outskirts of such a border county, and there were even cars parked in the courtyard.

It can be seen that outside the courtyard, someone is building a colorful shed, the servants in the courtyard are sweeping the courtyard, more than a dozen tables have been placed in the courtyard, and a stage has been arranged, the number of guests can be roughly judged, the chimney on the kitchen has not yet smoked, and it seems that there is still a while before the meal time.

"Peng Hengfa!"

"Yes."

"Do you see that big house?"

"Is that the traitor you said was the one who opened the meal?"

"It's clever."

"There are few people, I will lead the brothers down to kill their whole family, what is the softness, we will divide it for him."

Peng Hengfa was eager to try and kill the traitor and divide the family property, which obviously did not violate his conscience.

"Brother, it's such a simple matter as killing his whole family, what am I looking for the heroes of your search company? Wouldn't it be better to find the king of the mountain? ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Not a single shot was fired, subduing their whole family, and ...... Servants and old mothers can't be killed. ”

"It's not difficult for the servant not to kill, just tie it up and gag it, but don't shoot a shot? How do we get close in this? ”

"You see, there is a pine forest on the edge of his yard, which can be approached in a hidden way, and the wall must be eight or nine feet ......."

"It's more than that, but I can get through. But those who are building sheds outside the pine forest are a nuisance. ”

"Don't worry, I'll lead these people to the front when I enter through the main gate later, and you seize the opportunity to climb in from there, and then open the side door and let the rest of the brothers in," he said, drawing a branch on the ground, and the people next to him gathered around to see, "You start from the west wing, one by one, try not to shoot, and when I give the signal from the front, you can kill from behind, try not to use guns, don't startle the Japanese in the distance." ”

"Got it?" He saw the crowd nodding.

"Remember to be able to make a big move, the Japanese will come later, you can't let them see the flaws, and when the Japanese enter the yard, they will be served in a pot."

"But even if the Japanese go to the banquet, they can't all come in, we have an ambush outside, and there are not enough people."

"My other team of brothers will be there soon, and they will be in charge of the Japanese outside."

"Really?"

"Of course. When have I ever lied to you? Lin Xiuxuan swore that he hadn't said a word of truth since he met this group of people a few hours ago.

"You're going to wear this?"

"Only by wearing this can you trick them into the front yard, this kind of big traitor, there will definitely be thugs who take care of the house, and you must first lure them to a place where you can see them to make it easier to start."

This plan sounds novel and exciting, full of unknowns, including what will happen to him wearing the clothes of the national army to visit the big traitor, including whether the other team of brothers he calls will appear in time. Including, what level of Japanese people will come to this banquet.
