Lost and Spy

Chapter 1976 Retreat Order
"Don't care about the British, order, Liao Yaoxiang's new 22nd Division will quickly move closer to the 200th Division!"

Du Yuming finally made his final decision!

Thanks to the "help" of the British, the Chinese Expeditionary Force never completed the assembly scheduled before the war!
The Japanese army has already landed in Yangon, and the plan to counterattack Burma has been completely impossible to implement.

On the Western Front, the British fled without a fight.

The entire right flank of the 200th Division was completely exposed to the Japanese army.

Tonggu has fallen into a siege.

Liao Yaoxiang, who received the order, quickly approached Tonggu, preparing to meet the 200th division.

When Du Yuming gave the order to Liao Yaoxiang, he also specifically mentioned a place name:
Nanyang Railway Station.

"The 200th Regiment of the 599th Division attached Meng Shaoyuan's suggestion that we must seize Nanyang Railway Station!"

"Meng Shaoyuan? That spy from the military commander?"

As Meng Shaoyuan's reputation grew day by day, coupled with the chairman's favor, most of the senior military generals had heard of this name.

"That's right, that's Meng Shaoyuan. I heard that he helped Dai Haiou do a lot of things in Tonggu."

"He is a little spy, what does he know?" Liao Yaoxiang sneered.

However, the march of the new 22nd Division completely verified Meng Shaoyuan's judgment.

On the 28th, the New 22nd Division encountered the Japanese army at Nanyang Railway Station near Tonggu. With the support of strong fortifications and artillery, the Japanese army blocked the onslaught of the New 22nd Division.

At the same time, the Japanese army who attacked Tonggu dispatched heavy field artillery, and with the cooperation of the air force, launched an unprecedented shelling and bombing on Tonggu, and the small Tonggu was almost razed to the ground.

At that time, the vanguard of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army rushed to the front line of Tonggu, and the 200th Division was at stake.

Under the cover of tanks and armored vehicles, the Japanese army rushed into Tonggu City. At the same time, another Japanese army occupied the position east of the Xitang River. So far, the 200th Division was surrounded on all sides.

At night, the Japanese army sent a small group of troops to raid the headquarters of the 200th Division. Dai Anlan personally led the guard company to fight fiercely with the Japanese army all night.

It was not until dawn of the next day that Meng Shaoyuan arrived with reinforcements from the advance battalion, and the enemy was repelled.

"Teacher, we can't fight anymore." Meng Shaoyuan's face was covered with dust and blood: "Tonggu is surrounded on all sides, and if we continue to entangle with the Japanese army in Tonggu, my 200th division will have no way out! Make up your mind!"

"Meng Shaoyuan, go back and stick to your post and start street fighting!" Dai Anlan said coldly, "How the division makes decisions is the division's business!"

"Yes!"

Meng Shaoyuan responded loudly.

Looking at the back of Meng Shaoyuan leaving, Dai Anlan pondered for a while:
"Give power to Commander Du...Tai Jian, Deputy Commander, Commander Du:
The contact between the enemy and us began on the 28th, and the fierce battle lasted until the [-]th, which lasted for more than ten days.

I am on the verge of running out of ammunition and food. The officers and soldiers have not been able to eat for two days, and they are still sticking to the position east of the Tonggu Railway...

Since the beginning of the battle, the enemy has been fiercer than ever before, especially since the 24th, the enemy planes have continued to bombard their tanks, and the artillery has used a large number of poison gas bombs to attack our position day and night. Although I want to live and die with the ancient city, it is difficult to stop the fierce flames of the Japanese pirates... What's the benefit? "

At the same time as the telegram was sent out, street fighting had already broken out in Tonggu.

Dai Anlan personally commanded the troops to build strong fortresses on all major traffic routes in the city. Light and heavy weapons formed a cross-fire network and repelled several Japanese attacks.

He and his staff and logistics personnel also drew out their weapons and participated in the battle.

Only Meng Shaoyuan and the advance battalion were responsible for the defense line, which seemed to be much easier.

Meng Shaoyuan planted a large number of explosives in the Tonggu establishment long ago.

A small group of Japanese troops appeared, tiptoeing forward to search and advance.

Li Zhifeng lit half a cigarette.

"Give me a puff." Meng Shaoyuan ran out of cigarettes, and looked at the cigarette in Li Zhifeng's hand with a greedy expression on his face.

"Just one bite."

Li Zhifeng reluctantly handed the cigarette to the officer.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he received the cigarette, Meng Shaoyuan immediately sucked it greedily. After a while, the cigarette and the butt were almost gone.

"Why are you like this, why are you like this."

Li Zhifeng was in a hurry, and completely forgot about this officer, it is very likely that he will be appointed as the toilet supervisor again.

"The Japanese are coming up." Cao Ruicheng bent over and came over.

"Prepare."

"Sir, here it is."

Cao Ruicheng handed a paper package to Meng Shaoyuan.

As soon as Meng Shaoyuan opened it, his eyes lit up.

Inside, there are more than a dozen cigarette butts.

There are two branches, and there is almost a small half left.

Meng Shaoyuan was flattered: "Cao Ruicheng, where's the baby?"

"I picked it up everywhere for you."

"Great, meritorious, Li Zhifeng, look, you should learn from others." Meng Shaoyuan stuffed the paper bag into his pocket together: "Slap them a bitch!"

Seeing that Cao Ruicheng paid such a big flattery, Li Zhifeng was furious.

Two hands gripped the remote-controlled explosive device tightly.

The Japanese army has become more and more clear, and even their ugly faces can be seen clearly.

"Detonate!"

Li Zhifeng pressed the explosive device hard!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

There were several explosions, and the surrounding area was quickly surrounded by gunpowder smoke.

The corpses of two Japanese soldiers were blasted high into the sky, and they were torn apart when they fell.

"beat!"

With an order, Meng Shaoyuan and his guards opened fire.

The remaining Japanese troops were swept down like a whirlwind.

Seeing that this small group of Japanese troops was successfully annihilated, Meng Shaoyuan did not hesitate at all:

"Withdraw, point three, go to point three and beat them to hell!"

In terms of military command, Meng Shaoyuan's level is not even as good as Ding Wenrui's.

But fighting such a street fight is like a fish in water for him.

The arrangement was made early in the morning, so that he knew exactly where he was and when he should do things!

……

"Give power to Liao Yaoxiang, and strictly order the new 22nd Division to launch a fierce attack on the Japanese army regardless of the cost. It must complete the rendezvous with the 30th Division no later than 200 days ago!"

Du Yuming almost issued this death order in a hoarse voice!

With Tonggu surrounded on all sides, Chief of Staff Stilwell even asked the main force of the 5th Army to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army near Tonggu under the support of the 200th Division.

This was opposed by most of the Chinese generals, including Army Commander Du Yuming.

Du Yuming decided to defy Stilwell's order and let the 200th Division break out from Tonggu on the night of the 29th.

This decision will be one of the most wise decisions Du Yuming made in his military career!

……

Driven by Du Yuming's death order, Liao Yaoxiang, who was also a titan, went to the front line to command the new 22nd Division to launch a fierce attack.

The two regiments of the New 22nd Division, attached to 3 tank companies, launched a tidal attack on Nanyang Railway Station screaming "Aoao".

Under such repeated attacks, the Japanese army finally failed to retreat.

The New 22nd Division took over Nanyang Station and some buildings in one fell swoop, and destroyed the Japanese artillery positions.

Bloody Road, kill it!
The new 22nd division has finally arrived near the 200th event!
……

With the ancient, 200 division division.

"Officer Du has agreed to the retreat of our troops, and ordered the ministries to break out on the 29th!"
