Chapter 126 The fall of Lashio, the beginning of the defeat

Commander Liu died in battle, and the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division saluted with tears.

Master Dai was distraught: "Comprehensive encirclement and suppression! Kill these little devils~!"

All officers and soldiers of the 200th Division rushed up from all directions.

The brigade of the Japanese army, with more than 1100 people, had to escape from the west gate under the fierce attack of the 200th division.

The 200th Division chased after them, and in the end, less than half of them managed to escape under the cover of four tanks.

This is a small-scale battle, and many people don't know that the 200th Division is facing an armored force, which is no less intense than the Tonggu Defense War!
The 200th Division buried Commander Liu's body in this foreign country.

"salute!"

Gao Fei and all officers and soldiers of the 200th Division saluted.

"Division seat, the military department is calling. The Allied forces want us to transfer to Mandalay for the Battle of Mandalay, but the military seat has asked our division to temporarily transfer to Pinmanna to prepare for the Battle of Pinmanna. Look at this... ...whom should we listen to?"

Dai Anlan clenched her fists: "We have suffered so much, gained wisdom, and suffered so much. Don't you know? The people of Yingguo are unreliable, and the people of Meiguo are also unreliable! We can only rely on ourselves. I believe in the military seat, Transfer to Pingmanna first."

The chief of staff said again: "There is another order...the 56th Division of the Japanese Army is missing. The meaning of the military seat is to let the advance battalion go to the Lashio area for reconnaissance to see if this group of enemies has withdrawn or continued to go north. .”

Dai Anlan thought for a while and said, "The first company and the second company of the advance battalion suffered relatively heavy losses in the attack on Tangji. Let the third company go. I don't worry if they go."

"Yes, I will go down and deliver the order."

After eating lunch three times and resting for half an hour, Gao Fei received the order from the division headquarters.

"Let's go, let's go north to scout around Lashio!"

In the battle of Tangji, Sanlian lost another eight brothers.

In the non-spicy class, except for himself, the rest stayed in the 200th division to recuperate. So far, there are 74 people left in the third company.

Under the leadership of Gao Fei, a group of people shuttled through the dense forest and headed for Lashio.

……

Although Tangji was lost and recovered, the main force of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army disappeared.

A haze hangs over the hearts of all officers of the expeditionary force.

At this time, people in Lashio were panicked.

The 66st Army Headquarters.

Zhang Zhen walked around in the headquarters anxiously.

The soldiers around were busy, burning important documents and intelligence.

The chief of staff said: "Army seat, the general command ordered us to stick to Lashio."

Zhang Zhen slammed the telegram on the table: "Let me stick to Lashio? My nephew Zhang Zhiguang has already died on the battlefield. Do you want my 66th Army to be wiped out?"

Gan Lichu of the 6th Army has already chosen to retreat, so why should I stick to Lashio?Can you keep it if you die?
The new 66th Division, the only well-equipped and powerful main force of our 38th Army, was transferred away as soon as it entered Myanmar. It was said that it was going to Ren'anqiang to rescue those infant countrymen. Division and Ma Weiji's new 28th division, and these two divisions were also temporarily mobilized together, they didn't listen to what I said! "

The Chief of Staff said: "The Liu Division is composed of military personnel, let them try. The Ma Division is full of recruits, and I am afraid it cannot withstand the strength of the 56th Division."

Zhang Zhen shook his head: "Liu Bolong's division is all under the military commander Kang Ze's team. Those who engage in intelligence, whether they can fight a war, can only be seen on the battlefield!"

After thinking for a while, he changed his mind: "Go and inform Liu Bolong immediately, and ask him to take the troops up to block it, and withdraw if he can't stop it."

"Yes!"

"Come back! I'm not done yet."

Just as the chief of staff was about to leave, Zhang Zhen stopped him: "The horse division is all new recruits. If you use these two third-rate troops to fight against the elite of the Japanese army, isn't that going to death for nothing? I have to accumulate some virtue for my brothers." .”

The chief of staff reminded in a low voice: "The military seat, the military order is like a mountain, and those who violate the order will follow the military law."

"Is someone Zhang afraid of war? Both the 5th Army and the headquarters of the Allied Army are retreating. It is too late to save the troops by withdrawing to Jiangxi now!"

The chief of staff was so frightened that he was silent like a cicada: "Sir, I didn't mean that. If we pursue it in the future, I'm afraid..."

"Then let Gan Lichu of the Sixth Army get the military law first! I don't believe the head that escaped from the Japanese saber, and the higher-ups chopped him off casually!"

At this time, the adjutant came in: "Mr. Seat, the car is ready, let's go."

Zhang Zhen said angrily: "Where do you want me to go? Are you holding a white flag to surrender to the enemy?"

All the officers below lowered their heads, worried about his safety, so they arranged in advance to leave first.It's just that he didn't expect that the military seat wanted to fight the Japanese army again.

Zhang Zhen calmed down his mood: "Order, on April 4th, the military must rush to Gukai for repairs, and I will stick there for three days. Order the new 25th Division to enter northern Myanmar from Zhafang for defense before May 28st. The position is on standby to prevent the Japanese army from advancing northward, and those who disobey the order will not be tolerated by the military law!"

……

Gao Fei finally arrived near Lashio with Sanlian.

However, he came late.

But this time even he was shocked. It took only three hours for the 56th Division to break through the defense of Lashio.

The seized materials piled up like a mountain.

Not only that, in order to create even greater chaos, the 56th Division burned a lot of supplies and then continued northward.

Although the 56th Division of the Japanese Army is not a Class A division, it is also a mechanized unit with many motorcycles, cars and tanks.

Then the tanks of the 56th Division suddenly appeared on the Burma Road.

Moreover, those anti-infant Burmese traitors spread everywhere that Lashio has fallen, and the Japanese have hit the Nu River.

Rumors are the most deceptive, and fear spreads rapidly, making people panic.

Many troops began to retreat, this retreat does not matter, one person leads 100 people, 100 people may lead a division to retreat.

There are still many convoys transporting supplies on the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Seeing the large troops retreating, they didn't know what happened, so they turned around and withdrew together.

So, a strange phenomenon appeared.

The Japanese tanks ran in front of the expeditionary force, while the Japanese infantry behind them walked through the jungle, and had a scuffle with the expeditionary force inside.

Defeat is like a flood. Once a gap is opened, it will be a thousand miles away!
Gao Fei looked at the mighty retreating crowd, and the kind of tragic mood in his heart was incomprehensible to others.

Because he knew that if the 56th Division of the Japanese Army blocked the Wanding Bridge and blocked the only exit if they continued running like this, these people would be forced into the jungle and into Savage Mountain!
How to do?How to do?How to do?
Before he could come up with a good solution, there was a burst of intense gunfire suddenly on the Yunnan-Burma Highway ahead.

A Japanese army ambushed in the dense forest and ambushed a transport convoy.

The head of the convoy, a lieutenant colonel, was shot and killed instantly in a jeep sitting in the middle.

More than a dozen trucks on the road were all stopped.

Suddenly meeting the little devil, the soldiers transporting supplies in the vehicle jumped out of the vehicle in a panic, hiding on the side of the truck and forming a mess.

The driver of the jeep was a lieutenant, picked up a rifle, jumped out of the car and shouted to the soldiers: "Our commander has died in battle, and now I am acting as the commander, listen to my orders, take the guns in your hands Gun, follow me to destroy this group of devils!"

At this time, the enemy's heavy machine gun shot at him "chug-chug".

He hurriedly hid behind the jeep and continued to shout: "Listen to my orders, charge~!"

But he yelled, but no one obeyed his order.

One of the captain officers shouted loudly: "Lieutenant Long, you are a quartermaster. The enemy has already reached Wanding. What are you still acting like a wolf with a big tail? Get out quickly."

After speaking, he took a group of brothers and ran into the dense forest.

Seeing this situation, the quartermaster was very helpless, because his official position was too small, and no one obeyed his orders at all.

Seeing that all the soldiers in the convoy ran away, the Japanese army team yelled and chased after them, leaving only four soldiers to catch the man in the jeep.

Facing the four devils, the quartermaster didn't panic at all, started the jeep, and ran towards the four devils.

The four devils hurriedly shot towards the cab.

But the quartermaster's driving skills are quite good. First, he made an S-curve and avoided four bullets.

Another drift, knocked down a devil with the car body, and then the wheels ran over the devil's body.

Immediately afterwards, he manipulated the steering wheel with one hand and turned around on the spot, holding the rifle in the other hand, hardly needing to aim.

"Snapped!"

With a gunshot, a ghost was shot in the forehead and fell down.

The remaining two devils looked at each other, and rushed up with the [-] cover.

The moment the quartermaster stopped the car and opened the door, he had a Colt pistol in his hand.

"boom!"

The third ghost stared and died.

The last little devil, as if he saw a god of death descending, shouted long live and charged forward, holding a bayonet.

The quartermaster pulled out a knife from his waist, and within one round, the fourth devil was stabbed to death by him.

He returned to the car, unhurriedly took off the lieutenant colonel's clothes, and put them on himself.
