Chapter 881: British Showdown!

The convoy was speeding all the way on the road, and the automobile soldiers of the Fifth Army were used to driving on bad roads at night, and after arriving in Burma, due to the loss of air supremacy, the only way to transfer quickly was at night, because the planes of the devils were often frequented during the day, not to mention bombers, and even the machine guns of fighters were enough to make the convoy pay a heavy price.

"Woo woo woo ......"

Amid the roar of the cars, they had to leave the trail, they had already passed Laika, and in front of them was Menggon, and the convoy had to go up the road.

"Stop."

Feng Ye shouted, and the convoy turned off the lights and stopped.

"Min Fei, take a class of brothers to the front to have a look, and pay attention to the road conditions."

Feng Ye shouted, he wasn't sure if the devil had passed, now he could only look at the wheel marks on the road, especially the devil's tank, on the battlefield of the Eastern Front, on this road, there were no tanks of the expeditionary force, if the devil passed, he would definitely leave traces of crushing on the road.

"Follow me!"

Min Fei shouted, holding a rifle and a flashlight, turned out of the trail and walked into the avenue.

"Take a break."

Feng Yi leaned against the car door and lit a cigarette, he liked this thing more and more now, especially when he was irritable and restless.

"Huhuhu......"

"How's it going?"

Seeing clearly who was coming, Feng Yi asked anxiously with anticipation on his face.

"Regiment commander, I took the brothers to touch forward for a kilometer, and I found no traces of the tank being crushed, and even the marks of the car were old and basically invisible."

Min Fei looked at Feng Ye after the report, the brothers were still waiting on the avenue, and if they wanted to continue to reconnoitre, he would use a flashlight to send a signal.

"Okay, let's go!"

Feng Ye shouted.

"Woo woo woo ......"

"Hopefully, Mengon is still under the control of the expeditionary force."

Feng Ye sat in the wheelhouse, praying in his heart that if the expected was correct, they would soon reach Menggong.

In fact, the devil has not yet come, but the Chinese defenders of Menggong have already run away, and there are too few troops here, only a symbolic alert force.

"Regiment commander, there are no defenders in sight, and there are no Japanese."

Meng Gong was quiet, Feng Yi didn't know if there was a Burmese watchful eye in the thatched house in the dark night, and the convoy continued to set off.

"Woo woo woo ......"

With the roar of the engine, the convoy continued on the road until dawn, when the convoy arrived at Nanlan, and finally saw the defensive troops of the Sixth Army, where two battalions of the 94th Division set up positions.

"Buzz ......"

At this time, there was a buzzing sound of airplanes in the sky, Feng Ye looked up, and two devils' planes appeared in the field of vision.

"Don't worry, the devil's reconnaissance plane, it's been coming every day these days, and it's not bombing, I don't know what it's doing."

The officer at the entrance of Nanlan Town said unintentionally, and didn't seem to pay attention to it.

"The weather is nice! It is suitable for the activities of the devil's planes, but we can't swagger on the road, the devil's reconnaissance planes are coming, and the bombers will come back at any time and will not bomb the positions, but our convoy will never give up. ”

Feng Yi frowned, he felt that the journey during the day was not easy, but fortunately, it was not far from Lashio here.

"Head Feng, don't look at the good weather here, around Lashio, it's been foggy for the past few days, and you can't see anything on the devil's plane until noon."

The officer shook his head and sighed, the weather in Myanmar is so strange.

"Oh? How far are you from entering the fog zone? From here! ”

Feng Yi's eyes lit up and asked anxiously.

"There's still more than fifty kilometers left!"

The officer estimated, and he wasn't sure.

"Thank you!"

"Everyone, get on board and go!"

Feng Ye shouted, let the brothers board the car, originally planned to let the car soldiers rest here for an hour, but now it seems that it is not possible, must hurry into the fog area, he is very afraid that the convoy will be bombed by devil planes, such human losses are immeasurable, and it seems very meaningless.

"Chief Chen, the brothers are very tired, let's squint for a while!"

A car soldier opened his mouth to beg for mercy, they drove all night, and they really couldn't hold on, even if two people took turns driving, but the car was not well rested at all, it was too tired, and that kind of tiredness was not physical tiredness, but mental tiredness.

"Brother, the devil's plane has appeared; There are still more than 50 kilometers ahead to enter the fog area, but even if the devil's plane comes, there is nothing we can do, and we can rest at that time, isn't it safer than here? Hold on a little longer! ”

Feng Yi explained, he was determined to go.

"Brothers, don't talk about it, let's go!"

The leader of the motorcade shouted, and climbed into the car first.

"Woo woo woo ......"

With the roar of cars, the convoy stayed for fifteen minutes and then continued on the road.

"Buzz ......"

However, Feng Ye and the others were very unlucky, they had just walked more than 20 kilometers, and the devil's reconnaissance plane appeared above their heads again.

"Stop, everyone get off, hidden!"

Feng Ye shouted, he didn't dare to bet, the devil's reconnaissance plane still had machine guns, and the plane's dive strafing, the same car that could hit could not escape.

"All help, push the car into the woods."

Seeing the planes in the sky getting closer and closer, Feng Ye shouted, causing the brothers to start straining.

"Da Da Da ......"

The plane began to dive, and the on-board machine guns strafed the avenue.

"Leave the car alone, hidden!"

Feng Ye shouted for the brothers to hide in the forest.

"Da Da Da ......"

The dive-strafing devil reconnaissance plane circled twice, perhaps emptying the bullets, or perhaps they ran out of fuel, and quickly left.

"Count the number of people, are there any casualties?"

Feng Ye shouted.

"A car was shot and was scrapped; There were no casualties. ”

Soon, someone shouted for a report.

"Divide the people into other cars, hurry up, the next time it may be the devil's fighter."

In the shouts of Feng Ye, the convoy set off again.

Feng Yi's hunch was correct, not long after they entered the fog area, the devil's fighter appeared in the air, the devil's fighter arrived here only an hour apart, and even searched twice along the road, but unfortunately, at high altitude, through the thick fog, they couldn't see the situation on the avenue at all.

At noon on April 25, about an hour after the fog had cleared, the convoy entered Lashio, and they finally arrived.

In Kyaukmaixi, at this time, Alexander, Stilwell, and Slim analyzed and studied the war situation in Burma in a fierce quarrel, and judged that according to the available information, the four divisions of the devils and the expeditionary force of 100,000 people, they felt that the frontal battlefield could collapse at any time, and the British strongly demanded that they immediately retreat across the Irrawaddy River; However, Stilwell disagreed, believing that in the Mandalay area, if all the Chinese and British troops were concentrated, the Japanese could still be defeated.

Unfortunately, the honorable British did not pay attention to Stilwell, and Alexander, who became famous in Dunkirk by the great retreat, came with a retreat mission, and he had a showdown, informing Stilwell that the British army would retreat on the night of the 25th, and then left Kyaukmai West on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs.
