After all, it was a division of troops. Unlike Luo Yuesong's reconnaissance team, there was no way to completely conceal it. Soon, Lao Watanabe received a report that a division of the Chinese army had arrived in the north of Tonggu City.
As soon as Lao Watanabe heard the report, he immediately understood that this division was here to rescue the 200 Division. How could this be possible? The 200 Division had not captured Tonggu for more than ten days. The 200 Division had made him lose face. He must not let the 200 Division escape.
But it was already night now. After thinking about it, Lao Watanabe still did not dare to rush to send troops to the north of the city to strengthen the encirclement. You must know that although the new 22nd Division is not as powerful as the 200th Division, the two divisions are attacking front and back. Which regiment should be sent there?
You may get dumped in the end, and night battles are completely unable to take advantage of heavy firepower. The Chinese say that "stealing chickens does not result in losing rice." This is an ancient saying.
Just when Lao Watanabe was hesitating, Commander Liao had already formulated a combat plan to help the 200 Division break out of the encirclement based on Luo Yuesong's reconnaissance information, and got in touch with Commander Dai.
This night was not easy for anyone. Old Watanabe didn't sleep much. He was waiting for dawn.
Commander Dai originally planned to join forces to fight out at night, but he was worried about poor visibility at night. If he was ambushed by the Japanese army, he would suffer heavy losses. Now the 200 Division not only held on for more than ten days, but also annihilated more than 7,000 Japanese soldiers, and suffered casualties.
With only 2,000 men, Commander Dai knew that the 200th Division and the Japanese 55th Division were no longer competing for Tongugu City, an important area that had lost its strategic value. Old Watanabe was waiting to eliminate the 200th Division's effective forces.
When they vowed to avenge themselves, Commander Dai and Commander Liao agreed to break out from the east at dawn so that the large army could disappear into the vast jungle after the breakout.
Commander Liao was not idle either. One regiment was placed behind the Japanese troops in the north of the city to prevent the Japanese troops in the north of the city from coming to cause trouble when a breakout was launched. The other regiment cooperated with the 200 Division inside and outside, fighting together from both ends, striving to break through the Japanese encirclement as quickly as possible;
One regiment was placed on the north and south banks of the Pew River to prevent the Japanese army from sending troops from the outside to ambush the 200th Division that broke through the encirclement.
Luo Yuesong was particularly worried about Nurse Lan this night. Although Biaozi was following her and Feiteng Leap was protecting her, in such a chaotic battle situation, any accident could happen.
Yuesong wanted to sneak into Tonggu City while the moon was dark and the wind was high, and meet up with Nurse Lan and other special operations team members, but Commander Liao did not agree with his plan. Although Yuesong disagreed deeply, at this critical moment, thanks to Commander Liao's leadership,
Come to rescue, otherwise, your own reconnaissance team will not be able to rescue the 200 Division, let alone rescue Nurse Lan. Out of respect for Commander Liao, Yuesong suppressed his bad temper,
I spent an extremely torturous night in the woods.
Yuesong sat alone on a rock, listening to the many frogs chirping happily, and suddenly felt that it was a wrong choice for him to take Nurse Lan to the overseas battlefield. Alas, it has come to this, and there is no regret in the world.
We can only wait for dawn to rescue her.
"Captain, the battle situation is so chaotic. What should we do after the 200 Division breaks through?" Lei Hang asked worriedly.
Yuesong looked up at the sky. There were only a few stars, which made people feel that there was still hope, but it was still so far away.
"Either follow the 200 Division back home, or stay and fight guerrillas." Yuesong said.
"Fighting guerrillas? This is not China. The Japs over there in the Dabie Mountains haven't finished their work yet. If we want to fight guerrillas, we have to go back to the Dabie Mountains." Lei Hang was puzzled.
"Commander Li and the others are holding the Dabie Mountains. It's okay if we don't go back. The Japanese army is already in a stalemate on the battlefield in China and can't go any further. It's also difficult for us to drive the Japanese army out of China at once." Yuesong analyzed.
"Oh, that's right."
"The Burma Road is different. The Chairman of the Generalissimo sent 100,000 elite soldiers abroad to fight under such difficult circumstances. It can be seen that the Burma Road is related to the overall situation of China's Anti-Japanese War. If I am not wrong, although this expedition will inevitably fail,
There will definitely be a second expedition."
"So we stayed to fight guerrillas. We were actually scouting the terrain, scouting the enemy's situation, and preparing for the second expedition."
"Yes, it's just that the Burmese people don't seem to be that supportive of the Chinese army."
"Why? Don't Guido and his village support us very much?"
"I think the Burmese people don't like the colonial policy of the British-Burmese army, and now for strategic interests, the Chinese army and the British army are allies, so the Burmese people are not that supportive of us."
"Then what?"
"Emotions between people come from getting along. As long as we are sincerely good to the Burmese people, I believe they will support us."
"Okay, fortunately we have Shaoqiu and Jiduo, it's still a lot more convenient."
"Get some rest early. The battle will begin at dawn."
"Yeah." Lei Hang agreed and found a place to lie down.
