On December 22, after the engineering troops repaired the railway bridge, the 7th and 8th armies of the 2nd Army crossed the Nandu River and fought in the direction of Madea.

The Japanese had given up on encircling and annihilating the 200th and 22nd Divisions in the Madea area, and the 33rd Division and the 1st Guards Division withdrew to Mandalay, preparing for a decisive battle with the Seventh and Eighth Armies coming over from the river.

The Japanese no longer have the initiative in the war.

Jiang Dong and the British-Burmese Army Commander-in-Chief Alexander signed a "friendly" agreement in Lashio, and the two sides reached a consensus on the war against Japan and the post-war situation in Burma.

In line with the principle of friendly cooperation between China and India, Jiangdong dispatched the Fifth Army commanded by Fu Yisheng to cross the Irrawaddy River eastward to rescue the British-Burmese 1st Division and the British-Indian 17th Division that were surrounded by the Japanese army.

Gan Lichu's 49th Division, 55th Division and 96th Division operated together with the Seventh Army and the Eighth Army. The remaining 93rd Division, while responsible for the defense of Lashio, also assisted in the mobilization and transportation of supplies, as well as training

The Myanmar Self-Defense Force just formed by the Military Intelligence Bureau.

The Sixth Army followed the action route used by the Japanese 1st Guards Division to attack the 200th Division, and inserted itself from the east into Toshiba and Tonggu, south of Mandalay.

The troops on the eastern and central fronts are already in place, and now the only thing left is the western front.

In the early morning of the 22nd, the surface of the Irrawaddy River was shrouded in a thin morning mist.

The entire river is like a white jade belt, flowing quietly and densely.

In the white morning mist, several figures in camouflage and camouflage were constantly dancing on the east bank of the Ravaddy River.

They are well-equipped and each looks like a perfect killing machine.

Yuan Fei stood by the river with his hands behind his back, frowning as he looked at the broad surface of the river.

He took a squadron of special operations personnel with him, and the task was to find enough tools to cross the river before the Fifth Army arrived at General Irrawaddy.

Each team reported one after another that no ferry was found for several kilometers upstream and downstream. The riverside was deserted, and human fishing activities seemed to have disappeared overnight.

"Captain, the boat may have been pushed to the other side by the Burmese. We have to find a way to cross the river first!" Xiao Yi ran over and said to Yuan Fei.

"The river is too wide and the current is fast. Can our soldiers swim across it?" Yuan Fei asked, looking at the wide Irrawaddy River.

"There should be someone who can swim there, I'll go ask!"

As soon as Xiao Yi turned around, a stone hit him in the head. All the soldiers around him became nervous and pulled the bolt with a clatter to load the gun.

Yuan Fei and the soldiers reacted quickly, finding bunkers immediately and getting ready for battle.

Everyone's guns were pointed in one direction, where there was a big tree more than ten meters high.

Under the muzzles of more than a dozen semi-automatic or automatic rifles, the branches and leaves of the big tree swayed gently, revealing a pair of glowing eyes.

No one said anything, everyone just put their fingers on the trigger.

In the hazy halo of early morning, the figures on the trees gradually appeared.

Even if that man faced more than a dozen gunshots, his expression remained calm.

He slid down the tall tree trunk like a neat ape, carrying a rifle on his back, and he was a warrior.

When the figure rowed under the big tree and stood in front of everyone, Yuan Fei, Xiao Yi and others realized that it turned out to be a woman.

Judging from the woman's dress, she should be a Burmese guerrilla.

The female guerrilla was dressed coolly, with two black spots looming in front of her face.

Although the woman's gun was still on her back, the soldiers of the special operations team not only did not relax their vigilance, but were also ready to shoot at any time.

Yuan Fei and the others had been standing here for half an hour, but none of the special operations team members found the Qingliang woman hiding in the tree.

This is very scary.

Special forces members have received the most rigorous and scientific military training, and it can be said that they are the strongest soldiers of this era.

This woman was actually able to hide under the noses of the special forces members for so long. If she hadn't deliberately exposed herself, no one would have discovered her until they left.

This man is really good at hiding his aura, and he really lives up to the saying, there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people.

The woman slowly raised her hand to her chest, conveying that she meant no harm.

Yuan Fei put the pistol back into the holster and took a step forward.

Other warriors are thrown on alert.

The Qingliang woman's expression began to change, and her eyes showed inquiry and curiosity.

"Wow wow wow..."

She spoke, but no one could understand what she said.

Before he was sure whether the other party was friend or foe, Yuan Fei did not expose himself easily.

The two parties communicated several times using body language, but it was obvious that neither party understood what the other meant.

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, a soldier quietly took out something from his storage bag.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, when Qingliang woman saw that thing, she couldn't hide her excitement. She happily ran over to hug Yuan Fei and murmured non-stop. The coldness and coldness just now disappeared without a trace.

.

Everyone frowned because what the soldier just took out was a captured Japanese military flag.

This woman is a Burmese adulterer!

Everyone was aware of this problem and never lowered their guns.

Obviously, the woman recognized Yuan Fei and his group as a Japanese search team.

Yuan Fei could not break free from the woman's embrace, so he put his hands behind his back to make a gesture to calm the soldiers down.

Since this female guerrilla recognized the wrong person, she should make the mistake right.

The team members exchanged glances, quickly understood what the captain meant, and put down their guns one after another.

After the excitement of the female guerrillas calmed down a little, Yuan Fei used gestures to express his group's intention to cross the river.

The female guerrilla smiled proudly and waved to everyone to follow her.

Although it was a bit risky, Yuan Fei decided to follow the footsteps of the female guerrillas.

He left half of the team behind and took the other half downstream with the female guerrillas.

Along the way, the female guerrillas were chattering and noisy.

Yuan Fei took the opportunity to ask the female guerrillas why they were able to hide quietly.

From the gestures of the female guerrilla, Yuan Fei guessed that she probably said that she had been a hunter since she was a child.

After walking for about 3 kilometers, the dust and fog on the river gradually dissipated.

At a river bend, Yuan Fei saw hundreds of ferries parked neatly.

But before he had time to be happy, a group of people rushed out from both sides of the road, all holding guns.

The female guerrilla pressed her hands and explained something loudly!

Soon, everyone put away their guns and looked as excited as the female guerrillas when they saw the plaster for the first time.

There are more than 200 people in this guerrilla group. Judging from their weapons, equipment and behavior, they should be a team with good combat effectiveness. They have been guerrillas in the mountains and forests for many years.

The woman in cool clothes turned out to be the captain of this guerrilla group, which once again amazed everyone.

There was a skinny young man wearing glasses in the team. He seemed to speak some Japanese and chatted excitedly with Yuan Fei.

The special forces members have also received language training and can speak some military terms in Japanese.

After a few stumbling conversations, all the guerrillas felt relieved.

"Are you going to the West Bank to support the main force?"

"We must not let the British escape, they have the blood of the Burmese people on their hands!"

"Is there a large army behind? We can go to the side road to meet them!"

…

Yuan Fei got some key information. This guerrilla group was not only anti-British but also anti-China.

There are no more ferries on the Irrawaddy River, and all the boats have been captured by the guerrillas.

Several rustling sounds came from the radio, which was the pre-arranged code.

The Fifth Army will arrive on the west bank soon!

There is no time to deal with this guerrilla group, so we can only take them down neatly.

Yuan Fei began to wink at the surrounding soldiers and at the same time got in touch with the surrounding soldiers.

When the guerrillas brought their most precious food - roasted plantain hearts, the action began.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The special operations team members in the camp used daggers to remove the weapons of the guerrilla commanders, and the soldiers on the periphery quickly rushed in under the cover of silenced snipers.

It must be admitted that the capabilities of this guerrilla force in some aspects have caught up with or even surpassed that of the special operations team members, but such abilities are very small and cannot achieve the all-round and flawless cooperation of the special operations team members.

"Sorry, we are the Chinese Expeditionary Force!"

It was not until everyone was under control that Yuan Fei spoke his first Chinese sentence after meeting Qingliang Woman, and revealed the Chinese military logo under his camouflage uniform.

The female guerrilla leader's eyes turned blood red at a speed visible to the naked eye, her yellowed teeth protruded from her lips, and saliva bubbled out from between her teeth.

She was like a crazy tigress at the moment, wanting to devour Yuan Fei's flesh and blood.
Chapter completed!
