Before the Japanese army had time to support the ferry, the British-Burmese 1st Division quickly ran away from the encirclement. The commander of the 113th Regiment, Liu Fangwu, still shouldered the important task of holding on to Mandalay during the New 38th Incident, and did not dare to fight. After completing the rescue mission
, quickly retreated to Mandalay.
The commander of the 3rd Division of the Japanese 33rd Division, Sakurai Province, was so angry that he threw a cup and cursed his mother. He originally planned to encircle but not attack, which made the British and Burmese troops unable to endure hunger and thirst, losing hope, and finally surrendered. Not only did they not waste a single shot or bullet, but
The First Division of the British Burmese Army was able to seize a large amount of heavy equipment. Who would have expected that a regiment of the Chinese Army would attack from a long distance and be relieved in just one night. Their wishful thinking came to nothing. The little Japanese learned the Art of War from China's Sun Tzu.
, I can only be a dabbler at all times. As for the five thousand years of culture in Greater China, where can the little Japanese learn the essence? Not to mention that the little Japanese have insufficient cultural accumulation, it is enough. Just relying on the little Japanese is bullshit.
It is impossible for the nation’s virtues and dispositions to comprehend the breadth and depth of Chinese culture.
Luo Yuesong saw that the situation of tens of thousands of heavy troops mixed together was solved. In addition to admiring the commanding skills of the officers of the New 38th Division, he also felt extremely admirable for the resolute execution of the soldiers of the New 38th Division.
After reporting to Commander Dai, Luo Yuesong received the order to rush back to Tonggu. According to Commander Dai's judgment, after the British-Burmese 1st Division fled to India, the Japanese 33rd Division would send at least one regiment to encircle them.
Tonggu, coupled with the pincer attack on Tonggu by light-armed infantry in the jungle on the eastern front, made Tonggu in danger.
After Luo Yuesong asked for instructions, Commander Dai finally agreed that the reconnaissance team would withdraw to Tonggu while keeping an eye on the troops of the Japanese 33rd Division rushing to encircle Tonggu City, and report the Japanese army's movements in a timely manner.
Leng Ren's mission also changed with the changes in the war situation of Ren'an Qiang. After receiving the order from Commander Du, Leng Ren's military reconnaissance team temporarily rushed back to Mandalay with the 113th Regiment. The new mission will be assigned by Commander Du.
Arrange separately.
After the Nian Qiang battlefield disappeared, Yoshida Shoichi crossed the Pingqiang River and reported back to the commander of the regiment, Harada Tong.
Harada looked at the more than 100 Imperial Army soldiers that Yoshida had taken away, but now he had brought back less than 50 people. He was so angry that since the reconnaissance team that encircled and suppressed the enemy army could not do a good job, he might as well lead the way and help them.
The combined forces encircled and opened the way to the ancient city.
Yoshida was not slapped or scolded. He was very satisfied that he had arrived. Now he received the task of leading the team to encircle Tonggu. He was full of gratitude, so after saying "Hi", his face glowing red, he went to the military supplies.
After receiving some military supplies, he led the team in the direction of Tonggu.
The commander of the Third Division of Sakurai Province originally planned to scold Harada Harada to relieve his anger, but seeing that Harada Harada was also injured, the defeat could not be said to be Harada Harada's fault alone, so he invited Harada Harada to drink two cups of tea.
He also replenished the troops and supplies for Harada Tong's regiment, and asked Harada Tong to lead a regiment to attack Tonggu City in an effort to win the hard nut as soon as possible.
Haradadong felt grateful and happy to receive such courtesy. He received the troops and supplies, and after a short period of reorganization, he set off in the direction of Tonggu.
When everyone focused their attention on the ancient city of Tong, only Commander Dai focused on Lashio. Lashio is the distribution center for materials and troops for the expeditionary army. A large amount of strategic materials are all stored in Lashio, and then passed through
Lashio was transferred to various war zones. Ever since Luo Yuesong encountered a large number of Japanese light infantry advancing covertly in the jungle on the eastern front, Lashio has been the focus of Commander Dai. Now that the Japanese encirclement and ancient trend have become settled, the 200 Division will be stronger again.
, it is impossible to hold on to Tonggu for too long. So Lashio is the center of overseas operations, and naturally it is also the key point for the expeditionary force to withdraw to the motherland. Once Lashio is lost, judging from the entire battle situation, whether Tonggu can press the headquarters
It is no longer important to stick to the order, and the failure of the first expedition has become apparent.
Under this situation, Commander Dai sent a long telegram to Commander Du sincerely, explaining his views. However, Commander Du's reply was that he would continue to hold on to Tonggu City and wait for new orders.
