In Longling, the military headquarters of the 66th Army and the remnants of the two newly formed divisions that had retreated here in a hurry finally suffered at night.

"It's been so long, the Military Commission should have done a good job of defense along the Nu River; Inform the brethren to retreat at night, and tomorrow morning we will be on the east bank of the Nu River, and at that time, we will be safe. ”

Zhang Zhen was making the final deployment, fleeing from Burma all the way back, if it wasn't for the fear of being shot, I'm afraid that there would be no symbolic battles in Shafang and Longling, he would have run to Baoshan a long time ago.

On May 4, 1942, the Japanese army cleared the last resistance of Longling and occupied Longling; At the same time, several hundred members of the Sakaguchi detachment disguised themselves as refugees and hurried towards the Huitong Bridge, where they wanted to seize this natural danger on the Nu River.

"Your Excellency, Commander, most of the 18th and 33rd Divisions have entered the southern Yunnan region; The 56th Division is making a detour to the area of Rolling Lane and Huban; The Chinese Expeditionary Force has been encircled by us. ”

Yangon, the headquarters of the Burmese Front, in the past few days, under the command of Hebian Zhengsan, the four divisions of the devils rely on railways and roads, and are carrying out large-scale mobilization, their purpose is twofold, one is to break through the Nu River and threaten Chongqing, on the other hand, they do not want the elite expeditionary force to return home, on the battlefield in Burma, the Chinese elite with American weapons and equipment has given the Japanese army too much damage.

"Still haven't won the 58-yard summit?"

Shozo Kawabe looked at the blue dot on the map, a little incredulous.

"Your Excellency, the aviation forces could not support at night, and after dawn, the warriors ......"

"Is there any new news from the Sakaguchi detachment? What about Huitong Bridge? ”

Without waiting for the staff officer's answer, Kawabe Shozo looked at the map, and he was most concerned about that side.

"They just set off, the road is full of refugees and retreating Chinese troops, the road is very crowded, they are dressed as refugees, they dare not reveal their identities, I am afraid that the news will be later......"

……

"Zhang Chuan just came with the news that the gendarmerie was all killed in battle, including you."

In the silent night sky, in Feng Yi's room, the rain stopped, and the two people who were sweating profusely hugged each other.

"How good it would be to have no war!"

Wang Ying leaned his head on Feng Ying's chest and muttered in his mouth.

"Do you remember that tree hole?"

"Remember, I'll never forget."

"Why didn't you leave me that night? At that time, I was still clean. ”

"The previous ones have passed, it is not certain whether Huang Yuanzhong is alive or not, I can't be angry with the dead; As long as we live, we will have a long time to come......"

……

The two of them talked, and slowly fell asleep; Whether it is Feng Yi or Wang Ying, I don't know if it is stimulated by the atmosphere of the battlefield, or it is very feeling that Zi Ah is cheating in an all-human environment, and the two of them are entangled in this night without the sound of guns.

"Buzz ......"

As soon as the day dawned, the devil's plane couldn't wait to come to the top of the 58-yard hill and the area around Xinwei, and continued to bombard the defenders' positions.

"It's strange, why aren't there any devil infantry attacking?"

On the top of the mountain, the observation post held a telescope, and he did not see the devil infantry attacking.

"Battalion commander, someone is still alive, it should be that the devil infantry did not come up."

Zhang Chuan hid under the cliff, holding a telescope, and behind him, a company of brothers was on standby.

"Keep watching."

"What are the devils doing?"

Zhang Chuan muttered.

After breakfast, Feng Yi looked at Wang Ying who was different next to him, if he hadn't prepared in advance, he would definitely not have recognized this as Wang Ying.

"My name is Wang Muyang now, Private of the First Class; Communication class. ”

Wang Ying's face was painted with an unknown color, and she was wearing a soldier's wide military uniform, and she couldn't tell that she was a woman.

"When you return home, you will disappear from the army!"

Feng Yi looked at the person in front of him, he was about to hide her.

"In the future, I will be your communication soldier, you will be there, I will be there!"

In a deliberately suppressed voice, Wang Ying walked to the radio station, from now on, she will fulfill the responsibility of a communications soldier.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Boom, boom......"

Xinwei, the fierce battle on the position began again, and a large number of mountain artillery and infantry artillery of the devils finally arrived at the front line and repeatedly shelled the defenders' positions.

"Didi ......"

The radio at the command was working non-stop, delivering the news non-stop.

"Report, urgent telegram."

The communications staff officer took a telegram he had just received and entered the semi-underground headquarters.

"Boom! Rubbish! Zhang Zhen damn it! ”

Du Yuming slammed his fist on the table and cursed loudly.

"What's wrong?"

The chief of staff looked at the furious Du Yuming, took the telegram, and the whole person was stunned.

"How could the Japanese army cross the Huitong Bridge? Or a few hundred? ”

Looking at the contents of the telegram, the chief of staff looked incredulous.

"Commander, the Huitong Bridge was blown up, what should we do?"

The chief of staff's face changed, this is the problem that the Fifth Army should consider now, the Nujiang River is not blown, there is no Huitong Bridge, they want to return to China, it is not as simple as a detour, and more importantly, they do not need to face the encirclement and suppression of devils all the time.

"Map!"

Du Yuming pounced on the combat map, looking for a route back to China on the map.

"The Huitong Bridge was bombed, the west bank of the Nu River is full of devils, we can't cross the Nu River, even if it's a pontoon bridge, we can't drive it......"

The chief of staff muttered, and as Du Yuming's fingers moved, he told that the situation in Nujiang was too clear to them, otherwise it would not have become a natural danger.

"I'm afraid I can't bring back heavy equipment such as tanks, mountain guns, trucks, etc.; I should have retreated earlier, I have a lot of responsibility! ”

Du Yuming looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Commander, even if we don't stop here, now we will reach the first line of Wan Town at most, not to mention that we will attack the devil's defense line along the way and fight a way out; The blame can only be blamed on Zhang Zhen, he ran too fast. ”

The chief of staff shook his head, and Du Yuming could not be blamed for the loss of the Huitong Bridge.

"Order the 71st Army and the 54th Army of Song Xilian's Department to march to the front line of the Nu River, build a defense line on the Nu River, and annihilate all the devils who crossed the river......

"The 66th Army was ineffective in combat, the 66th Army, the new 28th Division, and the new 29th Division were revoked, and the army commander Zhang Zhen, division commanders Liu Bolong, and Ma Weiji were removed from their posts for investigation and prosecution......"

In Chongqing, the commander was heartbroken, practiced a series of orders, and most importantly, the reserves he originally prepared for the front line of Yichang and Shipai had to be used in southern Yunnan, which was originally the rear of the country.

"Continue to call the 200th Division, and report as soon as there is news."

"The chief of staff stays, and the rest go out."

Xinwei, Du Yuming covered his forehead and drove everyone out, two heads, two pairs of red eyes staring at the map, they were looking for a way out of the Fifth Army.

"The devils keep attacking this line, we originally planned to fight back from here, I'm afraid the casualties will be very large, anyway, these things can't be saved, it's better for us to return from here, maybe the devils here haven't noticed yet."

With a stroke of his finger, the chief of staff pointed to the east of Xinwei, from here to the east, more than 150 kilometers to the border town of Huban and Rolling.

"How do you know that the devil won't outflank from here? Did any troops scout here? ”

Du Yuming looked up and asked.

"No, but it's better than going to Nankan; Our tanks, mountain artillery and other heavy weapons, anyway, we can't bring them back to China, and if there are devils, we will bombard them all the way. ”

The chief of staff gritted his teeth, and he now strongly recommended returning home from this side.
