Chapter 136 The Gunshots of Myitkyina
After weighing the pros and cons, Du Yuming finally chose to bypass Myitkyina and march towards northern Myanmar.

He has already considered that Lashio has fallen, the expeditionary force has no supplies now, and there are fewer bullets and shells.

If the Japanese army occupied Myitkyina again, even if they regained it, it would be an empty city.

But objectively speaking, he still lacks a certain long-term vision and general demeanor.

If he hadn't chosen to go to India before, it would be excusable.

But now, Myitkyina has been occupied by the Japanese army, there are no supplies on the way, food and medicine are very scarce, and if you go further north into the mountains, you will suffer heavy losses!

For the sake of the lives of the soldiers, you should also choose to enter India at this time, even if there is an order from the principal.

But he just couldn't swallow this breath, and couldn't let go of this face, so he chose a road to the dark!
Myitkyina was ahead, and the Japanese army had stopped attacking there, which made Du Yuming further misunderstand the war.

If there were gunfire in Myitkyina all the time, then Du Yuming, who rushed to the vicinity of Myitkyina, would of course know that the fighting in Myitkyina was still going on, and would send some scouts to scout anyway.

But there were no gunshots in Myitkyina at this time, and even if there were gunshots, they were only sporadic.

So naturally, everyone, including Du Yuming, would think: They really came a step too late, Myitkyina has already been occupied by the Japanese army, and those sporadic gunshots are just the Japanese army's defeat in clearing Yingguo.

Immediately afterwards, a road found by Du Yuming bypassed Myitkyina in the dark, and then continued to march north.

When they bypassed Myitkyi safely, they were even glad that they were not discovered by the Japanese army, but they didn't know that what they bypassed was an opportunity, and they almost made a big mistake!

The 33rd Division of the Japanese army landed from Yangon and traveled thousands of miles. It was only a small group of Japanese troops that occupied Myitkyina.

The number of people is not large. If you are full, you can have an alliance, about 3000 people.

If the Japanese army does not have a firm foothold at this time to attack Myitkyina, it can be completely recovered.

……

In order to speed up and join the 200th Division in Myitkyina, Gao Fei intercepted a convoy of the new 28th Division on the road.

Every car is full of people, so they are crowded, sitting becomes standing, and it blooms.

Liu Bolong, the commander of the new 28th Division, has a full face and looks like the kind of person who is not easy to mess with.

Now that there is a need for someone, Gao Fei sat in the jeep, looking very polite: "The teacher can give my advance battalion a ride, I am really grateful."

Liu Bolong laughed and said, "I've heard about the prestige of the Third Company Commander, but when I saw him today, he's really handsome and mighty."

"The division is honored, and the advance battalion followed the 200th division to fight desperately, all for the country, and dare not live up to the ardent hopes of the people."

"That's a good sentence, but now that we've lost the battle, I really don't have the face to go back to see the principal." Although Liu Bolong basically didn't do much here, he retreated in such a desperate manner, his face was really dull.

"Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs, and one day we will fight back."

"Well, there will be such a day." Liu Bolong secretly thought in his heart, even if there is such a day, as long as he goes back this time, he doesn't want to come here again, this place is not a place for people to stay, it is simply too hot.

Especially now that it is the end of May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "Myitkyina is only a few tens of kilometers away, but I heard that the little devils moved fast enough, and Myitkyina has already been occupied by them."

Hearing this news, Gao Fei instantly felt a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked: "Do you know where the military seat and the main force of the 200th division are now?"

"As the last unit, our division was at the back. Last night, the army led the 200th division and quietly went northward around Myitkyina. It is estimated that we are going into the mountains now."

Gao Fei said anxiously: "The signal is not good after entering the mountain, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get in touch with the radio. Can you give me a car, I will drive fast, and take a few people over there in advance."

If you walk with the convoy, the speed is of course slow. If you walk alone, the speed can be slightly faster.

Liu Bolong glanced at him: "If everyone is as loyal to their duties as you are, how can our army be defeated. Well, let's get a truck behind and drive away."

"Master, thank you!"

Gao Fei only led a dozen or so people with familiar faces, and let Kang Ya drive away in a truck.

……

Savage Mountain, also known as the Hukang River Valley, is located at the junction of China, Myanmar and India, with the snow-capped Himalayas to the north and the towering Hengduan Mountains to the east and west.

The mountains are numerous, the forests are as vast as the sea, the forests are full of swamps, the valleys are densely forested, wolves and beasts are rampant, and malaria is spreading. It is considered a very dangerous place.

The Savage Mountain was ahead, and Du Yuming couldn't help frowning as he looked at the mountains.

"Army seat! What should we do now? Cars, trucks, tanks and other equipment can't get through!" the adjutant asked.

Du Yuming thought for a while, and managed to utter a few words through his teeth: "Destroy the car...go into the mountains!"

"The military seat..." the adjutant hesitated to speak.

"Excuting an order!"

"Yes!"

When the truck drivers heard this order, they couldn't help being stunned. From the first day they joined the army, they were indoctrinated to love their trucks as much as their own lives.

Especially the Fifth Army, they have tanks, armored vehicles, heavy artillery that other troops do not have in their hands... These equipment have always been their pride.

But now, the orders they received were to destroy these equipments by themselves, who wouldn't feel sad?

Who would have the heart to blow up their car? !
Soon there were riots in the team. Many soldiers couldn't think about it, and they refused to give up their equipment, especially the tank soldiers. Some soldiers even threatened to fight with their lives who dared to blow up their tanks.

But the commander's order was: "If you don't bomb it, why don't you leave it to the Japanese?"

Therefore, many soldiers cried bitterly and reluctantly.

After a while, the adjutant walked up to Du Yuming and reported: "Secretary, there is one more problem. Tanks can be blown up, cars can be thrown away, but the wounded... what to do?"

Du Yuming was immediately stumped by this question, because what they were going to leave was Savage Mountain, a primeval forest.

This savage mountain is not so easy to walk.

Before that, Du Yuming had asked the aborigine hunters that he could see along the way over and over again, and even offered them a lot of money to lead the way, but the answers he got were all - there is no way here, only the man-eating devils!
Can't get in!Can't go!
So now, whether the soldiers with healthy limbs can pass through this virgin forest is a problem, how can they go there with the wounded? !
At this time, a major with a cane squeezed up and reported to Du Yuming: "Mr. Commander, we have discussed it, and we choose to stay!"

"Leave?"

Du Yuming looked at the major in front of him, that was his old subordinate.

This old subordinate has followed him since the Battle of Songhu, and it has been nearly five years now.

"Yes, we stay voluntarily!" The major nodded and said resolutely, "We won't be prisoners, just leave some gasoline for us!"

Looking at his determined eyes, Du Yuming realized what they were going to do.

He wanted to refuse, but he swallowed it as soon as the words of refusal reached his lips.

If refused, is there any other way?Can you still give them a way out?

If you can't, then you can only agree with heartache!

So, Du Yuming gritted his teeth and nodded heavily.

This is the most difficult decision he has made in his 20-year military career. There is nothing more complicated and desolate than the mood at this moment.

The major didn't say anything more, he saluted the military seat for the last time, then turned and left.

Soon, trucks and tanks were loaded with fuses, and the wounded were dousing themselves with gasoline, and some had hand grenades ready in their arms to save themselves from the flames.

Everything is ready, just wait for the military seat to give the order.

At this moment, a truck rushed over from a distance.

The continuous rush on the road caused the water tank on the car to boil and steam.

Only a loud roar was heard: "Don't do anything! I am Liu Feihu, the commander of the advance battalion! I want to see the military seat!"
