Chapter 128 Two Options for Retreat
Long Wenwen originally planned to use the name of the head of the Sichuan Army to recruit these people under his command, but his plan failed.

Gao Feizai looked at Long Wenwen carefully.

Long Wenwen looked 35 years old, and his military uniform was splattered with blood. Rather than saying it was dirty, it was better to say it smelled like gunpowder smoke.

He has a pair of bright eyes, and his face bears the vicissitudes and dust of gunpowder smoke.

There is a smile on the corner of his mouth, so that anyone who sees him at first sight will have the illusion of a monster.

He ran the train with his mouth full, and he didn't know which sentence was true and which sentence was false.

"Hey, third company commander, don't be like a lump of wood. I'm your regiment commander. Learn to be smart and find me a messenger. It's better to know English, and Japanese is even better. If you can drive, that's even better." alright!"

Long Wenwen, who took off other people's clothes and pretended to be the team leader, quickly entered into his own role.

Gao Fei rolled his eyes: "You said that you are the newly appointed regiment commander, so take a look at your military ID card."

Long Wenwen was shocked, but there was no sign of panic on his face, and he asked, "Are you doubting me?"

"It's not that I suspect you. The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds. Some people even dare to pretend to be officers. How dare you!"

Long Wenwen naturally knew the consequences of doing such a thing, but he understood that if he pretended to be small, no one would listen to him at all, so he just wanted to pull up a team, win a battle, and satisfy his wishes in this life, that's enough!

"How about it, did you see through me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I see that your deputy company commander is not bad, he can speak English, right?"

Meng Fanran followed the team, and said as he walked: "I am the deputy company commander of the third company, a serious captain officer, how can you let me be your messenger?"

Long Wenwen waved his hand: "Now you're not anymore, just slap to the end, second-class soldier, no, I will lose face if I say it, you have been upgraded again, first-class soldier. Be my messenger in the future, keep within three meters, I can beat you with a single slap." Do you understand where it was filmed?"

Hearing his words, a group of people looked at each other in blank dismay.

Meng, the person concerned, felt even more absurd when he was annoyed. His deputy company commander was dismissed with one word, and the second-class soldier only served for two seconds. Now he is going to be an orderly.This way of appointment is like a child playing house, sitting on a high stone, and a group of children below will meet, and you will become the emperor...

……

Indian Allied Forces Command.

The news of Lashio's fall has spread.

Du Yuming said bluntly: "Everyone is very clear about the current situation. Let's talk about how to retreat, because this concerns the lives of 10 Chinese expeditionary troops. Of course, I will bear the responsibility this time."

Stilwell said: "Now is not the time to talk about responsibility. I agree to retreat, but we must retreat safely."

Luo Zhuoying looked at an old man from Yingguo opposite: "Since retreat is inevitable, let General Pressure Shan talk about his retreat plan. Isn't he quite experienced in this area?"

Everyone here knows that the once famous Dunkirk retreat was commanded by General Alexander.

Stilwell is a China hand, can speak Chinese, and can understand the meaning of this sentence.

However, Alexander's translator couldn't hear the irony implied in this, so he directly translated the original words into English.

After hearing this, Alexander thought he was praising his ability to command the retreat. He said very proudly: "This battle is the result of the cooperation of our three parties. The battle between the Allied forces and the Japanese army has ended, and the retreat has long been a foregone conclusion. Our baby The army is going to retreat westward to India, because there is no Japanese army blocking this road. As for the Huaxia army, they can retreat with us, so as to avoid the fate of the entire army being wiped out."

The translator quickly translated his words.

The audience listened carefully.

Alexander continued: "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland allows all members of the Chinese army to evacuate to India for asylum.

Du Yuming said: "Your Excellency Alexander, the Huaxia Expeditionary Army was requested by you Yingguo people to come and help you fight, but your cowardly escape caused the situation today, isn't it? Now the retreat of my expeditionary army has been cut off .You let us go to India?"

He suddenly stood up and slammed the table: "Absurd! Absurd! What a shame!"

The scene all fell silent.

After a moment of silence, Stilwell said: "Don't be angry, General Du. Alexander is right. After the fall of Lashio, the Sixth Army and the 66th Army retreated across the board. They no longer have the slightest ability to defend and counterattack. The expeditionary force is like It's a mess, I can't command, and what was supposed to be a good battle turned into a retreat."

Du Yuming was furious: "Is this our fault? The 200th division fought bloody battles for twelve days, and you didn't even fart!"

Staring at his face, Stilwell continued: "I didn't expect that the two divisions of the 66th Army were so vulnerable. At present, the 56th Division of the Japanese Army may have attacked the Nu River in one go! There are many checkpoints. In that case, there will be wolves in the front and tigers in the back, and now even our Mandalay is very likely to be made dumplings by the Japanese!"

Du Yuming asked back: "Your Excellency, do you want us to flee to India with the people of Yingguo? Sorry, I cannot accept this arrangement. We are here to fight. Even if the situation is unfavorable, we have to return to our own country. , Life under the fence is not easy, no soldier is willing to go to India to be a refugee, no!"

Stilwell understood what he meant: "You choose to retreat to your own country? I understand, I understand. But the gate of the Burma Road has been closed by the Japanese army, how do you go back? If you choose to go west from Mandalay, Go to Myitkyina, and then go north. This road is more than 1000 kilometers, and there is Savage Mountain in the middle."

Stilwell emphasized the geographical location of Savage Mountain: "Savage Mountain is known as the place where the devil lives. If you choose to take this road, you will be close to death. But if we go west and retreat to Indu, the journey is only 300 kilometers, and the Japanese army has not yet reached this area, the road is unimpeded, and there will be almost no losses. You are a wise commander, and you know how to choose."

Du Yuming said: "Thank you for your suggestion. I should have listened to our own! If I hadn't listened to your advice, the battle of Tonggu would not have turned into a defense of Tonggu, and the 200th division would not have lost so much! "

After speaking, he got up and left.

His meaning has been clearly stated, and his attitude is also very firm. He insisted on walking his own way, passing through the vast virgin forest, and returning to his own country!

When he returned to the headquarters of the 5th Army, he received a telegram sent to him by the principal alone: ​​"Our army should move to Myitkyina and Pianma immediately, don't hesitate to stop."

Looking at the route on the map, it is completely the way home going north.

This made him more determined to return home.

Stilwell asked: "People can climb mountains and cross rivers, go through jungles and swamps, but tanks can't follow you across mountains and mountains. Where are you going to take the tanks?"

Du Yuming replied: "Tanks are our lifeblood. Without tanks, there would be no mechanized infantry division of the Fifth Army! Since we are leaving, we must take them with us."

Stilwell reminded: "This is a national event, a life-and-death retreat, not a child's play!"

"Because it is a national event, it is impossible for the expeditionary force to go to India with the infantry. Our country is in the north! No soldier is willing to go to other countries to beg for food, and no force can stop our soldiers from returning to their own country Determination! This is my attitude!"

"General Du, you have to understand that we have been surrounded by the Japanese army from the south, west and north. The only way out is to go west. The people of Yingguo are willing to provide you with supplies and places to repair, and the people of Meiguo are willing to provide you with equipment and equipment. Training, why don't you want to go?"

Du Yuming took a few steps back and forth in the headquarters, not going to India because it was related to the principal's order.

He slapped a telegram on the table: "What is this order from Alexander? The people of Yingguo want the new 38th division of our expeditionary force to defend Mandalay, and the new 22nd division to defend the passages of Nemenwa and Yeu , This is for us to be the rear, to cover their escape!"

Stilwell walked around twice with his arms folded, secretly cursing the dirty tricks of the Yingguo people.

Du Yuming continued: "Facts speak louder than words. The face of the Daying Empire is clearly revealed this time! It's not that our expeditionary force can't fight, it's not that we don't dare to fight, but I think it's worthless to shed blood and sacrifice for the sake of this group of people." !"
