Feng Ye did not bother the very tired doctors and nurses when he arrived at the hospital, nor did he go to the operating room, because he knew that he could not help.

The hospital was full of blood stains, as well as the nurses who were busy cleaning the gauze, and the expeditionary force did not have enough supplies, and the gauze had to be recycled.

"Captain!"

"Captain!"

When Feng Ye walked into the ward, the wounded soldiers got up from the hospital bed one after another.

"Lie down, here, listen to the doctor."

Feng Yi asked everyone not to move, looking at a large number of wounded soldiers, Feng Ng's mood was very complicated.

"Brethren, they are all good, and they fought well yesterday; Now your task is to heal your wounds, and the brothers are still waiting for you. ”

Feng Yi comforted the brothers, he was not a doctor, and in the face of the wounded soldiers, he could not only comfort them, but also let them recuperate.

"Commander, the scouts have made a discovery."

A communications staff officer walked into the ward and whispered in Feng Yi's ear.

"Brothers, rest well, and when the convoy returns from Lashio tomorrow, I will send you back to Lashio to recuperate."

Feng Ye waved his hand, said goodbye to the wounded soldiers, and left the hospital.

"The first squad, in Heihe, found that the devil squadron-level infantry escorted a field artillery squadron was moving in a northwesterly direction; The second squad and the third squad are here and here, respectively, and they found the devil brigade-level infantry in repair......"

The combat staff was constantly marking on the map.

Since the attack last night, Feng Ye has officially transferred those elite squads from various companies and turned them into fourteen squads, each with fifteen people, and they have become the direct troops of the regiment headquarters.

Now that they don't have a mature reconnaissance unit, Feng Ye called them as a reconnaissance unit, and the fourteen squads can at least ensure the enemy's situation within 20 kilometers of the surrounding area, so as not to rely on the intelligence of the staff group and let their eyes be blackened.

"The devil is concentrating his forces, and the 200th division is in danger."

Feng Yi frowned and looked at the vicinity of Releem; There, the cavalry regiment and two regiments of the 200 Division were engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the devils; The devils have increased their troops in large numbers, and they must be attacking the elite of the expeditionary force; Of course, not only him, but even the Expeditionary Force Commander's Department and the General Staff Committee did not expect that the real idea of the devil was to attack Lashio.

"Report the enemy situation to Commander Lin, and at the same time send a copy to the staff group."

Feng Yi nodded, his current task is to garrison Tangji, the current troops are only enough to defend Tangji, and there is no way to dispatch a large number of troops to drive away the approaching devils.

After a vicious battle, Feng Yi's telegram reporting casualties did not wait for a telegram of commendation, because the expeditionary force and Chongqing were now hesitating, whether to fight or withdraw? Only after the general policy has been decided can the operation be defined in terms of public opinion.

In fact, the war situation in Burma has been fought so far, defeat is inevitable, but the Americans are still hoping for it, and the Chinese bigwigs are still unwilling to lose Burma, they are looking forward to keeping the northern part of Burma, but their allies The British are bent on retreating, and the three countries with different minds are playing with each other, and China, the weakest in strength, has naturally become the victim.

In the afternoon, the corpses of the devils walking around Tangji were thrown into the pit, and the sappers carried out an afternoon of work to bury the corpses.

The battle situation of Relem during the day surprised the Expeditionary Force Commander's Department, the devils with air superiority did not let the planes bomb the positions of the 200th Division, but their planes continued to bomb the positions of the new 22nd Division and the 96th Division, and continued to attack the city of Wacheng.

"It doesn't matter if Tang Ji gains or loses, please keep in mind the date of the gift for the emperor, be sure to intersperse Lashio on April 29, and take Lashio with a thunderous offensive."

Rerem and Watanabe Masao received a telegram from the commander of the 15th Army, Shozo Kawabe, that Shozo Kawabe was suppressing his anger at the current situation of the 56th Division being stagnant for two days in Rerem.

"How much has the 56 Infantry Regiment assembled?"

Masao Watanabe clenched his fists, and he also cared about the gift at this time, thinking that April 29 was very special, it was the emperor's birthday, and the best gift of the Burmese Front was the victory of the war.

"Three brigades, General Sakaguchi is already fifteen kilometers away and will arrive soon."

Takeshi Fujiwara replied.

"Order the 56 Infantry Regiment to take over all positions, and leave all wounded soldiers behind; Let Shizuo Sakaguchi stay here and hold Rerem in the name of the 56th Division; 146 Wing, 148 Wing, set off immediately......"

Masao Watanabe didn't care, the adventurous spirit in his mind took over, he wanted to create an illusion to let the expeditionary force commander's department know that they were still here, still fighting the 200th Division, and his main force had already made a detour to Lashio, he decided to come out of his shell and go straight to Lashio.

The troops of the 200th Division are not all concentrated in Releem, their heavy equipment is still on the way, the attack has established a complete defensive line, and the devil's defense line with artillery support is not so easy, in fact, it is good for them to be able to fight back and forth today, because the 200th Division and the cavalry regiment have to worry about the bombing of devil planes during the day, and they are not as happy as they come at night.

As night fell, the neighborhood of Rerem was finally quiet, and there was no gunfire except for the wails of the wounded.

At this time, the vanguard of the devils appeared in Laika, Laika's troops only came and issued a warning, and in the face of the charging troops of the devils all over the mountains, a battalion of troops quickly withdrew to Mengshan following the pace of Gan Lichu.

"The devil's footsteps are too fast, and he retreats overnight."

Looking at the remnants of the army around him, Gan Lichu felt threatened, he felt that the devil was crazy, how could he find himself, he decided to cross the Salween River and move eastward, if the devil chased again, he could run back to China.

"What, Gan Lichu ran away?"

"The devils appeared in Laika, and they came to Lashio; We must now come back to Lashio! ”

At the headquarters of the expeditionary force, Du Yuming found Luo Zhuoying and made a tough request.

"The 56th Division confronted the 200th Division at Rerem, and they attacked Laika only in small units; The headquarters of the new 29th Division and the 86th Regiment have already set off from Yunnan and will soon be able to reach Lashio, and the small force will not be able to take Lashio. ”

According to the day's intelligence, Luo Zhuoying asked the impatient Du Yuming not to panic.

"My commander, I'm sure that the one in Relem is definitely only the broken rear troops of the 56th Division, and their main force is already making a detour to Lashio, and if we don't return to help, we won't be able to go back; In this way, the new 22nd Division and the 96th Division did not move, and let the two regiments of the new 28th Division and the new 29th Division immediately return to Lashio to reinforce Lashio, and Tangji I sent a regiment of the 200th Division to take over the defense. ”

Du Yuming was very anxious, and before leaving, he promised that he would bring the Fifth Army back to China, and if Lashio was lost, the devils would definitely continue to attack and cut off all the roads for them to return home.

Why is Lashio so important, because it is the hub of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the terrain is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend; Take here, to the north, the Japanese army can go straight to Wan Town, Tengchong, occupy the Huitong Bridge, ruthlessly, can seize the Nujiang Bridge, so that Chongqing will be very dangerous, to the west, can attack the area of Ba Mo and Myitkyina, so to speak, the devil controls here, with the four divisions on the battlefield in Burma, the Chinese army has no other way out except to flee to India.
