Lost and Spy

Chapter 1973
"What? Lost the airport?"

Dai Anlan yelled into the phone: "Where's the Engineering Corps? Where's Li Shuzheng? Shoot, shoot me!"

On March 1942, 3, the Japanese army dispatched an engineer regiment that detoured to Yongkegang Airport in the north of the ancient city of Tonggu, and the engineer regiment that stopped at the Tonggu Airport was attacked by surprise.

Li Shuzheng, the head of the regiment, took the lead in fleeing, and the engineer regiment collapsed and fled without a fight.

At that time, only the 598st Battalion of the 1th Regiment rose up to fight, but because of the weak force and lack of strong fortifications, the airport eventually fell.

Li Shuzheng became the first and only middle and senior officer of the 200th Division to go abroad to fight.

This has become an indelible shame for the 200 division!

The loss of Tonggu Airport meant that the connection between the 200th Division and the rear was completely cut off.

The retreat of the 200th Division has been cut off.

The fall of Yongkegang Airport is entirely the responsibility of Li Shuzheng, the head of the engineering corps.

Dai Anlan immediately ordered the Military Law Department to arrest Li Shuzheng and shoot him on the spot, so as to correct the morale of the army!

However, in any case, the fall of Yongkegang Airport quickly plunged the 200th Division into a huge passive situation.

In the process of participating in the attack on Yongkegang Airport, a team played a "huge role".

At 24 pm on the 2th, the "Myanmar Independence Volunteer Army" led by General Aung San arrived in time to help the Japanese army and joined the ranks of attacking the 200th Division.

The Japanese army, led by the Burmese Independence Volunteer Army who was familiar with the terrain, detoured to the north of the city through a small road, and only then did the sneak attack succeed.

The 200th Division was fighting to defend Burma, but the Burmese helped the Japanese.

Dai Anlan fell into deep self-blame.

When Meng Shaoyuan was invited to a banquet earlier, Meng Shaoyuan specifically mentioned that the Japanese army has a foundation in Myanmar, and even in the eyes of the Burmese, the Japanese army is the party that is "just, helping them drive away the British and gain independence and freedom"!
Dai Anlan didn't pay attention.

Looking at it again, the 200th Division is here to defend Burma, and the Burmese will never repay their kindness, right?

Meng Shaoyuan also specifically mentioned Yongkegang Airport, and implicitly proposed a change of general, but Dai Anlan didn't take it to heart.

Li Shu is his old subordinate, and the Engineer Corps has done a good job.

Besides, Yongkegang Airport is not on the frontal battlefield, and the Japanese army has no way to fight there.

Now, everything proved that Meng Shaoyuan was right!

In fact, at this moment, after Meng Shaoyuan learned the news of the fall of Yongkegang Airport, he felt extremely painful in his heart.

He only knew that Yongkegang Airport would fall, but he didn't know how the Japanese army sneaked into the airport.

Back then, when Little Glasses mentioned the Expeditionary Army and the 200th Division, it would have been nice if he could have asked more carefully.

However, there is never an if.

However, the life of the Japanese army was also difficult.

Outside the ancient city of Tong, they encountered the most violent resistance since the Burmese War, which was unexpected by the Japanese army.

For several days in a row, the 55rd and 143th Wings of the 144th Division suffered heavy casualties.

The Japanese Air Force dispatched more than a hundred planes from Yangon Airport every day to bombard Donggua indiscriminately, dropping countless incendiary bombs and gas bombs.

However, the defense line of the 200th Division has not been broken through, and the Chinese defenders in the city have never wavered or retreated.

The soldiers of Dai Anlan's 200th Division on the Tonggu battlefield showed rare fighting courage and a high degree of sacrifice in the face of powerful enemies.

With their crude fortifications and weapons, they have always resisted the enemy outside the city.

The city was razed to the ground, food and water were out of positions, and hand-to-hand combat took place every day. Every day, officers and soldiers fired grenades and died with the enemy.

"Long live the Expeditionary Army! Long live the Republic of China!! Long live the Chinese nation!!", accompanied by the explosion of grenades resounded through the sky all the time!
This is Tonggu, the Tonggu defended by the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the tomb of the capital of the 55th Division of Japan!
Enraged, the enemy Japanese army fired hundreds of corrosive mustard gas bombs into the city.Fortunately, it was the dry season, and the poisonous gas was mostly blown away by the monsoon, and more than ten people were poisoned.

However, this also confirms that the Japanese army is really in a hurry!

"Master, Meng Shaoyuan asks to see you."

"Let him in."

"Teacher, transfer the division headquarters immediately."

Meng Shaoyuan said as soon as he entered.

"What is the transfer division doing?" Dai Anlan, who was staring at the map, didn't even look up.

Meng Shaoyuan said hastily: "According to reliable information, the Japanese army has locked the position of the division headquarters, and it is very likely to launch a surprise attack."

"The whole Tonggu is a battlefield. Where can I move?" Dai Anlan didn't care at all: "I have a company of guards here. Since the Japanese army is a sneak attack, there won't be too many troops. I can also fight when necessary , don’t forget, I’m also a soldier.”

"Since the teacher is not afraid, I don't have much to say." Meng Shaoyuan said suddenly: "Master, let's talk in another place?"

Dai Anlan was stunned for a moment: "Come with me."

Dai Anlan took him to his temporary lounge and asked:
"Tell me, what is so mysterious."

Meng Shaoyuan adjusted his breathing: "I have solid information that the British army on the western front is about to be defeated, that is to say, the right wing of my 200th division will be directly exposed to the Japanese army, and the Japanese army will form a siege to me!

At the same time, the 56th Division of the Japanese Army is approaching Tonggu. If Japanese reinforcements arrive, our 200th Division will be separated from the north and the south, and at the same time occupy the position east of the Xitang River, which will cut off our 200th Division. A silver lining. "

Dai Anlan stared at him: "You are already preparing, aren't you?"

"That's right, I'm making preparations." Meng Shaoyuan smiled wryly: "But I'm only a small lieutenant colonel. What I can do is to let the troops know where to retreat when they are retreating, so as to prevent the Japanese army from pursuing and minimize losses. But on the big side, without the cooperation of the teacher, I can't control it."

Dai Anlan smiled: "Speak out what you think."

"Master, please send a secret message to Commander Du." Meng Shaoyuan said in a low voice, "Once the situation on the battlefield changes, Commander Du, please send elite soldiers to attack the Japanese troops surrounding Donggua. Especially the surrounding area of ​​Nanyang Station must be under control.

At the same time, the division commander must keep a capable reserve team in his hands for use as a breakout.The staff department has already made arrangements. At that time, the staff department will lead the advance battalion to cover the retreat of the main force. "

"Are you here to break the queen?" Dai Anlan was taken aback, "That would be very dangerous."

"The department encountered more dangers. In Shanghai, the department and Li Zhifeng were trapped by hundreds of Japanese soldiers, but the department was still out of danger." Meng Shaoyuan said with a smile: "The department has a lot of life, and luck is not bad. , To put it bluntly, the Japanese who can kill me haven’t appeared yet.”

"Shaoyuan, correct your bragging faults." Dai Anlan also smiled, but then said seriously: "You are loyal and brave. Although you have many faults, you are still a real soldier. Then this task will be handed over to you." Here you go."

"Thank you, Master, for your cultivation, please rest assured, Master, the department will never regret it!"
