Chapter 417: Live in the same quilt, die in the same coffin(2/2)

After a long while, the deputy company commander shouted in a hoarse voice: "Brothers, find them all for me. I will find their bones even if I die. I will buy them a good coffin later. This

We must fulfill their last wishes. Let them share the quilt when they are alive, and let them share the coffin when they die!"

On the bank of the Irrawaddy River, the temporary headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Yue Weihan had his hands behind his back and was pacing back and forth anxiously in the war room.

The Sixth Army has been fighting fiercely with the Japanese army in Mandalay for ten days. Under the tidal offensive of the two Japanese army groups, the Sixth Army has already suffered more than half of its casualties, and its defense line is already in danger. But at this critical juncture, the Fifth Army

But the main force could only stand on the west bank of the Irrawaddy River and stare, because the Japanese army took the lead and blew up the railway bridge on the river.

If we take a detour, we can only go back the same way and then cross the river through Mengong. This is unrealistic and will definitely be too late in terms of time.

The Fourteenth Air Force of the U.S. Air Force, adapted from the Flying Tigers, has dispatched almost all transport aircraft and is urgently airdropping bridge-building equipment from Calcutta, India. However, it will take at least ten days for the pontoon bridge to be erected after the equipment arrives. If

If the Japanese 55th Division prevents the Allied engineers from building the bridge at all costs, the time will be extended.

In other words, the Sixth Army will have to hold on in Mandalay for at least ten more days!

More than half of the Sixth Army has been killed or wounded. The officers and soldiers are close to their limits both mentally and physically. Can they still hold on?

Suddenly, Yue Weihan paused suddenly, turned around and shouted to Chu Zhongtian: "Prepare the car and go back to Myitkyina!"

"Chief Commander, are you going back to Myitkyina?" Luo Zhuoying said in astonishment, "at this critical juncture?"

"Yes, go back to Myitkyina!" Yue Weihan said solemnly, "Then fly directly to Mandalay. I want to live and die with the Sixth Army!"

"Ah? Direct flight to Mandalay!?" Luo Zhuoying was shocked when he heard this, and Dai Anlan, Liao Yaoxiang and other generals were also shocked.

Not far away, a strange look appeared in the beautiful eyes of Reuters war correspondent Avril: Mandalay was about to be lost, but this guy was going to Mandalay to live and die with the Sixth Army.
