The Fifth Army on the other side, but because the Engineer Corps had no radio station, it was impossible to contact the Fifth Army, so they did not know that Myitkyina had been occupied by the Engineer Corps.

At this time, Du Yuming, who was sitting in a jeep leading the army toward Myitkyina along the Manmese Railway, was anxious. This was not only because the railway was full of exhausted expeditionary soldiers and overseas Chinese with their families who were moving in with their families... The reason why these overseas Chinese followed the expeditionary forces was, on the one hand, because they stood firmly on the side of the expeditionary forces from all aspects when the expeditionary forces entered Myanmar to the extreme, which deteriorated their relations with the Burmese people who supported the Japanese army. Therefore, if they remained in Myanmar, they were likely to be liquidated by the Burmese people. On the other hand, they were also because they knew the various atrocities of the Japanese army and knew that there would be no good ending in the end under the rule of the Japanese army, so they simply followed the Chinese army to Myitkyina.

Du Yuming was anxious because he knew that Myitkyina could almost be said to be the only hope of the expeditionary army.

It should be said that the Expeditionary Force has another hope, and this hope is easier to achieve, that is, a road sign that points to India every few hours along the way... Du Yuming only needs to turn the front of the car left to take the team onto the highway to India. It is only 200 kilometers away from the Indian border. If he marchs day and night, he may arrive in two or three days.

But Du Yuming will never forget Alexander's arrogant and domineering meeting held by China, Britain and the United States...

"Gentlemen!" Alexander said proudly with a compassionate tone: "Our battle in Myanmar has been completed. In view of the severe situation facing the Chinese army, the British government officially notified me and told me that the United Kingdom of Great Britain allowed China's army and its equipment to retreat to India for asylum!"

When Du Yuming heard this sentence, he was so angry that his face turned pale.

Allow Chinese troops to take refuge in India?

China is an ally of Britain, and this battle will be like this, Britain will undoubtedly bear most of the responsibility. Even the Chinese army cannot return to the country because of false information provided by Alexander... Now Alexander actually uses the word "asylum" to get on the Chinese army, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force instantly transforms from an allies into refugees seeking shelter.

Du Yuming turned his gaze to Stilwell, meaning that all this was caused by you. If you hadn't been to Alexander, you believed that Chokeba was desperately transferred the Chinese army to that point. At this time, the Chinese army was probably on the way back.

So Stilwell should come out and say a few words to China at this time and say a few words to the dignity of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

But Stilwell pretended to be confused. After thinking about it, he put on a calm attitude and persuaded Du Yuming: "General Du. On the technical level, I can further discuss with the British side on behalf of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, but General Alexander was right. Retreat to India is the only correct choice for the Chinese army at present!"

"I'm sorry!" Du Yuming couldn't help it anymore. He stood up and said, "General Stilwell. You can continue to discuss with General Alexander. I don't accept General Alexander's kindness!"

Stilwell's face changed. He obviously did not expect Du Yuming to react like this.

But Du Yuming knew that he had another choice, that is Myitkyina... As long as he occupied Myitkyina, the expeditionary army would have the opportunity to breathe and rest, and respond to the motherland, forming a double-faced attack on the Japanese army that broke into the southern gate of China. In time, it would not be impossible to open up the road to return to China.

What's more, Du Yuming had Chiang Kai-shek's telegram in his hand. He was the order to lead the Fifth Army into Myitkyina once Lashio was out of control, so even Luo Zhuoying had no choice but to deal with Du Yuming.

Finally, with Du Yuming's repeated insistence, the Fifth Army embarked on the road to Myitkyina.

Just as Du Yuming was pondering, a roar suddenly came from the sky. Several Japanese Zero fighter jets dived down and threw bombs at the marching team frantically. A few loud thunder sounds came from the railway. The trees rose into the air in a radial shape from the flames and smoke and gravel soil. Then a bunch of bullets poured down with dense gunfire. The soldiers who did not hide in time fell down like seedlings, and frightened mules and horses ran around. Several cars were knocked off the railway and turned into burning fire balls.

Fortunately, Du Yuming's driver was alert and drove the jeep into the weeds on the roadside when he blew the steering wheel.

But the plane avoided the strafing, and Du Yuming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was bleeding from his head because he was not mentally prepared.

The driver was so scared that he was so scared that he stood up and shouted backwards before the Japanese plane flew away: "Sanitation officer.Sanitation officer..."

The health officer rushed to check Du Yuming's injuries. After confirming that he was not seriously injured, he skillfully bandaged Du Yuming's wounds.

After a powerful strafing, the Japanese plane left, leaving only a pile of corpses and cars burned into scrap iron on the railway. The smell of blood and burnt smell were everywhere in the air, adding a bit of loneliness to the already low morale soldiers of the Expeditionary Force.

Du Yuming sat on the stone on the side of the road. The high temperature of more than 40 degrees made the sweat quickly soak the bandage that had just been bandaged on his head.

"Military throne!" At this time, an adjutant walked to Du Yuming with fear and anxiety in his eyes and reported: "We just got the news that the Japanese army had arrived in Myitkyina!"

"What?" Du Yuming couldn't help but stand up: "Where did you get the news? Is it accurate?"

"Military throne!" explained the adjutant: "Our army's intelligence department has been listening to the Japanese radio and asked intelligence personnel who know Japanese to monitor it. Just now... they heard the news that the Japanese 33rd Division had arrived in Myitkyina and launched an attack!"

After hearing this, Du Yuming was stunned. After a while, he sighed and sat back on the stone...

Although the radio only said that the Japanese army launched an attack, the British army had already evacuated, and those who were left in Myitkyina were just some defeated soldiers. Moreover, even if the British army was still in Myitkyina, they would surrender soon as they were fighting.

So there is no need to think that Myitkyina must have been occupied by the Japanese army first.

"Military throne! We are now..." The adjutant dared not ask further questions.

Now Du Yuming has two choices, one is to attack Myitkyina desperately, and the other is to bypass Myitkyina and continue northward.
Chapter completed!
