Chapter 7 Expedition to Burma Section 2 First Battle (3)
Zai Anlan led four guards and ten to the Mojun City Defense Command... He was not far away and Major Dington of the Irrigationzhou was striding his way.
"Wow, Dai, have you robbed the station that bitch?" Aldington looked at the fully armed jeep in surprise. He knew that in order to load more people, the train did not load any vehicles. Apart from people, there were only a few mountain cannons and all the trough cannons were on the road.
Oldington was very dissatisfied with Field's attitude. He followed the New Thirty-Nine Division and knew the price they spent to rush to get on the road. But after finally reaching Tonggu, the British man refused to get off the car. It was really outrageous. "The British are very wealthy, and they don't want such a car, so we have to pick it up and use it." Ji Anlan did not answer. The chief guard answered for him, stretched out a hand to pull him into the car. Then the jeep drove towards Tava Street.
We didn't plan to fight here." Aldington was disappointed when he saw the scene along the way. Some British soldiers appeared one after another on the street, most of whom were empty-handed or carrying suitcases that came from unknown to him. His face was full of panic.
"Hey, hey, which unit are you? Where are the Japanese now?" Aldington called out a sergeant. The sergeant stared at him blankly. Aldington asked again, but the sergeant still shook his head blankly.
"Drive, he's scared." Dai Anlan said lightly. These soldiers were very familiar to him. At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War Network, some Chinese soldiers were like this and didn't know anything. They didn't know where the enemy was. As long as they heard the gunshot, they would definitely run away in the opposite direction of the sound. No one could pull them back.
When it was almost time to reach Tawa Street, a group of refugees appeared from the south. More than a dozen British soldiers were wrapped in them, only half of them had guns. A lieutenant on the side of the road was trying to gather these soldiers, but the soldiers pretended not to see them and were still rushing to the road.
"Ltd. Where is the City Defense Command?" asked Aldington, who glanced at them. He saluted Aldington, and replied, "You can see it by turning right forward."
Dai Anlan's face turned cold. According to international customs, salute should be the first to salute the highest rank. However, the lieutenant did not seem to see the Venus on his shoulder. He hummed heavily: "Drive."
The head guard did not understand these etiquettes, so he started the jeep and left, but he knew that the chief was unhappy. The rear of the car was gently swayed, and the lieutenant hurriedly avoided it.
Aldington didn't know why Dai Anlan was angry. After turning, he understood why the lieutenant said he could see it. Four or five trucks were parked in front of a three-story building. The soldiers were busy loading the trucks, and the documents were thrown all over the ground. The soldiers standing guard at the door saw the jeep and let them drive into the yard.
Aldington grabbed a red-faced sergeant and asked the commander where he was. The sergeant gasped and pointed at him. Dai Anlan and his party threw away the others and went directly to the commander's office on the second floor.
"Tell them that at the latest it will be twelve noon today. We will leave. If the Chinese are not at the moment, I will not let my soldiers fight in this situation."
Still in the corridor, I heard a very energetic voice coming from inside: "Those real-skin monkeys are right behind. If you don't leave, we will be all done!"
Diana Lan could understand part of the English. He looked at Aldington, and Aldington looked embarrassed. Aldington pushed open the door. A major pointed and scolded a loudly. Lieutenant, seeing Aldington and Diana Lan who were pushing the door in, immediately showed vigilance.
"I am Major Aldington, the US liaison officer, and I accompany General Dai Anlan of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to contact defense." Aldington's tone was a little stiff.
The major's face immediately relaxed, and Aldington felt that he was obviously relieved. He cursed in his heart. The major immediately saluted Dai Anlan: "I am Major McFothen, the commander-in-chief of the British Army and the Gucheng City. I have received a notice from the new commander-in-chief of the Imperial Burmese Army General Alexander, the squadron will take over Tonggu, and we are waiting for your arrival. General, I am ordered to hand over Tonggu's defense to your army.
”
Dai Anlan said expressionlessly: "I am Major General Dai Anlan, the commander of the newly formed 39th Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. I am ordered to accept the defense of the Tonggucheng."
Neither party intends to hold a handover ceremony, so Diao Anlan immediately occupied McFoson's desk and asked, "Major, you have the situation."
"After our army gave up Bogu, one of them retreated to Tonggu, and the main force retreated to Yangon. We originally planned to stay in Yangon, but before our army arrived in Yangon, the Japanese 56th Division and the 18th Division landed in Yangon. Yangon fell yesterday. The 17th Division and the 7th Armored Brigade, which were originally scheduled to retreat to Yangon, were retreating to Plomei. In addition, some troops were retreating to Tonggu, and they were expected to arrive in two days."
"What about the Japanese army?" Dai Anlan asked.
"The Japanese army, the Japanese army is not very clear," said McFourson: "As far as I know, after the Japanese 56th Division and the 18th Division captured Yangon, they were resting in the city. The 2nd Division and the 55th Division were also resting in Bogu, so the rest of the others were not very Qing Jinxi
Aldington was very disappointed, the situation was too vague, and it was probably wrong. The Japanese army was resting and our army was running for life. God, Myanmar was given to the Japanese.
"Where are you going?" Aldington asked contemptuously.
"After you arrive, I will lead my troops to Ren'anqiang, and the headquarters will order us to gather there." McFothson seemed to have not noticed Aldington's expression. After saying that, he felt relieved and said in a relaxed tone: "General, Tong Gu is yours now, I hope you can have good luck. I heard that those yellow-skinned monkeys are very difficult to deal with."
"I have been dealing with them for four years. I know what they are." Dai Anlan said irresistible.
McFothson smiled faintly. He was very satisfied with being able to escape from this dangerous city in time. He saluted Diana and Aldington and turned away, but Ji Anlan asked him to leave the map. The British map was very accurate, but the Chinese one was still a little rough. He thought that McFothson was the honor of the Royal Army, so he did not refuse. On the contrary, he looked down on him even more.
Diana Lan and Aldington are enjoying the British map. This is Zhang Tong’s ancient map, which is very neat. There are mountains, rivers, churches and temples on it, and there is nothing. It’s the same: no defense. From the map, the British only made simple defense arrangements at the airport, and there was nothing else in other areas. Diana Lan even doubted whether the Pew River Bridge was installed.
"If you travel with this map, you will definitely not get lost." Aldington said sarcastically. Diana Lan smiled slightly. He was in a relatively relaxed mood. It seemed that the Japanese army would not arrive today, so he had at least two days to arrange defense.
Suddenly, an angry roar came from outside the window. The two of them hurried to the window. McFoson in the yard was cursing at the two Indian soldiers with heartache: "Xian, do you know what this is? This is an antique from the 17th century! The representative of Burmese civilization! It is destroyed in your hands! You two stupid pigs!"
There were piles of porcelain pieces on the ground that were beaten to pieces, and the painted Buddha statues could be vaguely seen. After seeing it clearly, Dai Anlan turned around and left. Aldington couldn't help but curse: "If the British want to defend Myanmar, they must first shoot such a bastard." "Do you still want to fight with them now?" Dai Anlan moved the chair to the map and asked while looking. Aldington was speechless. He was like Simmons, and went further. He even hoped that the New 39th Division could join forces with the British to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army. Of course, this request was firmly rejected by Dai Anlan.
After a pause, he looked up at Dai Anlan thoughtfully. He understood what these Chinese people were thinking. They had long known that the British were unreliable, so they would rather be slower than risk losing Yangon than join the British, but the sacrifice was the war situation in Myanmar.
Just as he was about to speak, there was another noise in the yard. He walked to the window angrily, opened it and was about to scold McFoson, who was only interested in escaping his life, but saw a group of people rushing into the yard and stuffing the yard. Chief of Staff Huang Zhen was instructing people to carry the equipment into the building.
"Chief Staff Huang, don't carry things in. I'll come down."
Aldington turned his head and saw that Dai Anlan had arrived at the window at some point and was shouting. Huang Zhen immediately told the people not to move anymore and waited in the yard.
Dai Anlan ordered the chief guard to take down the map, then scanned the gorgeous and messy office, sighed softly and left, Aldington followed him, not knowing what he was going to do.
"Japan wants to go outside the city. First of all, there must be shells here. The command center cannot be placed here." The first thing Dai Anlan said to Huang Zhen was the location of the command center: "There is a villa at the back of this street. The terrain is good and the manor is strong enough. Let's go there."
"Here?" Huang Zhen hesitated. His building was a cement building. The British were still very particular about housing construction. The houses were built very strongly. Such a place was suitable for command centers.
Seeing the reluctant look, Dai Anlan said lightly: "The Japanese must think that our command is located here. Once the attack starts, this will be the focus of their attack.
”
Aldington suddenly felt confident. He felt that these Chinese were very familiar with war. They had rich experience. Their previous external performance was just because they did not trust the British. In fact, they were prepared for how to fight in Myanmar, and they might even have a comprehensive strategy. The prospects for the war in Myanmar may not be so pessimistic. Perhaps they can give everyone a surprise in Myanmar.
At 10:30 in the morning, Deputy Division Commander Zheng Yinong led the troops on the road to Tonggu. The entire New Thirty-Ninth Division arrived in Tonggu and fully protected the Tonggu small town.
