Hearing that Luo Yuesong and the comrades of the reconnaissance team were coming back, Biaozi took the brothers who were left behind in the city and waited at the entrance of the division.
As soon as they met, Biaozi rushed up and punched Luo Yuesong on the chest: "Hey, you mule, Master Li asked me to accompany you to fight abroad, and you will use me as a mother-in-law. No matter what, everything will be fine."
Bar?"
Yuesong took Biaozi's hand, and the two hugged each other, reluctant to separate for a long time.
"Okay, okay, two grown men, you and me, my military appearance has been ruined by you two." Commander Dai and a group of brothers heard the noise outside and came out to greet Luo Yuesong and his party.
Luo Yuesong quickly pushed away Biaozi, organized a reconnaissance team, and reported to Commander Dai: "Reporting to Division Commander, the 200 Division Reconnaissance Team was ordered to go out for reconnaissance. It successfully completed the reconnaissance mission and was ordered to return to the army. Please give instructions to the Division Commander."
Commander Dai said: "Salute to the soldiers of the reconnaissance team, salute!" Commander Dai led everyone to salute the soldiers of the reconnaissance team.
Luo Yuesong led the reconnaissance team to return the gift.
"How's it going? Let me take a look. Three brothers are injured. We'll go to the division hospital later and have a good check-up." Commander Dai inspected the reconnaissance team while caring about the soldiers who had returned from the war.
"Commander, when the Japanese artillery position was bombed, Du Ba of the reconnaissance team died. It's all because I led the troops too recklessly. Please punish me, commander." Luo Yuesong reported to the division commander with tears in his eyes.
Commander Dai patted Luo Yuesong on the shoulder, paused, and said: "In war, there will inevitably be sacrifices. Brother Du Ba is a heroic expeditionary force soldier, and the motherland will remember him."
"Thank you, sir, for your magnanimity."
"Let's see, brothers, thank you for your hard work. Captain Luo, Vice Captain Hu and Lieutenant Colonel Yang will stay here. Staff Song, you go arrange for the brothers in the reconnaissance team to take a good rest and treat those who need to be injured."
"Yes." Staff Officer Song took the order and took the brothers of the reconnaissance team to rest.
After returning to the division headquarters and sitting down, Commander Dai introduced the current battlefield situation to everyone.
"Since the start of the Tonggu Defense War, all the brothers of our 200 Division have fought bravely against the enemy. So far, according to preliminary statistics, 4,000 of the enemy have been killed, and more than 800 of us have sacrificed our lives. Due to the overwhelming advantage of the Japanese heavy weapons, our troops have been injured.
There are more, more than 1,200 people. According to the current situation, our 200 Division should be able to complete the task of holding on to Tonggu for two weeks. However, the entire battle situation is very unfavorable, and it is very likely that our 200 Division will be defeated in the next few days.
We are surrounded by Japanese troops on the central, eastern and western fronts. Therefore, we need to analyze together how we should respond next." Commander Dai said, "Please have some tea. This is the best tea I brought from West Lake.
Longjing.”
After taking a few sips of tea, Chief of Staff Lu picked up his baton, looked at the large map on the wall, and began to further analyze the battle situation: "Everyone, please see, the theater headquarters plans to launch a strategic decisive battle with the Japanese army in Mandalay.
, the purpose of our 200 Division to stay in Tonggu for two weeks is clear to everyone. According to Captain Luo's reconnaissance, at least three light infantry brigades of the leading troops of the 56th Division of the Japanese Army on the Eastern Front have moved to the east side of Tonggu, but today
There was only one brigade that attacked the north of Tonggu City in the morning. Where did the other two brigade go? I think it is very likely that it was not Mandalay, but continued to advance north along the jungle and went straight to our war zone's return and material supply depot.
Lashio, this is also the consensus between Commander Dai and I, and Commander Du also supports our opinion, but the theater chief of staff, General Stilwell, stubbornly believes that it is impossible for the Japanese mechanized troops to march on a large scale from the jungles on the eastern front."
"Commander Du must convince Stilwell to fight the Japanese army, and his thinking cannot be solidified." Luo Yuesong suddenly stood up and said.
"Captain Luo, there are two main problems when our Allied Forces are fighting now. One is the serious differences in the commanding opinions of the General Headquarters. The other is that the Allied British and Burmese troops are blindly protecting themselves, which has led to greater problems on the entire Western Front. The Japanese Army on the Eastern Front
The problem is left to Commander Du to solve. Commander Du on the Western Front sent Major Lengren's reconnaissance team to master a large amount of dynamic information about the Japanese army. The key now is that I want Captain Luo to personally lead the team to conduct reconnaissance and report directly to me.
The 200th Division is a heroic unit, and I cannot let the 200th Division die in my hands at the gunpoint of the Japanese army." Commander Dai said firmly.
"Yes, I promise to complete the task." Luo Yuesong stood up and saluted.
"There's no rush, let's listen to Chief of Staff Lu's introduction to the battle situation on the Western Front first." Commander Dai motioned Luo Yuesong to sit down.??
