The lightly-armed soldiers advanced much faster, and the sky gradually became darker. The Japanese army clung to the soldiers and refused to relax, resulting in the soldiers not even having enough time to rest along the way.
Fortunately, at night, the Japanese soldiers chasing after them also stopped to rest, which gave them time to breathe.
It was getting dark. When the defeated soldiers stopped to rest, Meng Fanlai stood up and said, "Go to the bathroom. If you want numbness, not spicy, come with me."
Yaoma cursed: "You little bitch, you still want me to accompany you when you go to the toilet. When you wait for your wedding, you also want me to accompany you."
Bu La shouted: "Call me, call me."
Other veterans at the shelter also left quietly out of sight of others.
Xia Yuan stood up and shouted: "Doubian, Yangdanzi, you are on duty tonight."
"Why!"
The two quickly stood up and responded. After the sky darkened, the defeated soldiers fell asleep one after another, and Doubiang and Yangdanzi took charge of standing guard.
The old defeated soldiers at the shelter gathered in a forest in the distance, and Long Wenwen was also there. Fortunately, the number of Sichuan regiments reached more than 700. They disappeared without paying attention, and it was already late at night.
Many people fell asleep, and after a while, there was a movement in the forest.
Snake Butt shouted: "Who?"
"Your captain!" Xia Yuan pushed through the jungle, walked over, and glanced at several people.
Mi Long, Li Wula, Hao Veterinarian, Ah Yi, Bu La, Yao Ma, Snake Butt, Kang Ya, Fan La, and several others who walked out of the internment center together and came to Burma to fight against the Japanese army.
He whispered: "It has been basically confirmed that there are thirteen Japanese soldiers who have sneaked in. They have no contact and pretend not to know each other. Some of them will leave marks secretly so that the Japanese soldiers chasing behind us can bite us tightly.
.”
"You bastard, these little Dongyang guys are playing so dirty!" Bula grinned and cursed.
"No wonder they stopped to rest and were not worried about losing us. It turns out there is a spy on our side." Meng Fanlao pondered.
"Captain, what do you think?" Milong asked.
"We must kill them quietly. If we don't make any noise, it will be bad if they cause a disturbance."
Xia Yuan said: "Veterinary Hao, Ayi, you two don't need to participate. You only need to be responsible for the vigilance. The others are responsible for taking action and cutting their throats with bayonets to make them unable to speak."
He glanced at the time on his watch and added: "Let's start at two o'clock in the night and make a quick decision. I will arrange personal goals later."
When he was in Shangganling, he led the scouts to the US military garrison on Cangshan Mountain and did such a thing, and he is no stranger to doing it now.
After they returned, they got close to their personal goals and lay down beside them. Those people were not prepared. There was even a Japanese soldier with his eyes open. Milong yawned and sat down next to him.
He took out a cigarette and touched his body, but did not find a lighter. Milong said to the little Japanese soldier with his eyes open beside him: "Borrow me a fire."
The Japanese groped around on their bodies, found a few matches, and handed them to Mi Long. After Mi Long smoked a cigarette, he turned over and closed his eyes to sleep. The whole process did not arouse the suspicion of the Japanese soldiers. Others
They were not as bold as Mi Long. They just lay down a few meters away from the Japanese soldiers and waited quietly.
After they determine their personal goals, they wait for the time to come.
At 1:50 in the night, the air was slightly cold. Fan La, who was responsible for assassinating the Japanese army, Mi Long and others opened their eyes. In the misty darkness, they scanned their personal targets at a glance and made sure that everyone around them was...
After falling into a deep sleep, they drew out their bayonets.
Xia Yuan's movements were very skillful. After nodding to the others, he quickly approached the Japanese soldier in sight, stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and before he could open his eyes, the bayonet pierced his throat with a hiss.
, with a physical fitness that was twice that of an ordinary person, the Japanese soldier died quietly without even letting out a scream.
When he turned around, Milong's eyes were so round that they almost popped out of his head. He pressed his hands firmly on the Japanese soldier's mouth and nose, and inserted his bayonet straight into the Japanese soldier's neck, with blood flowing down his neck.
Meng Fanglia's operation was also very smooth, and no one was disturbed during the whole process.
After killing these Japanese soldiers, Ayi and Veterinarian Hao rushed forward to help. They carried a corpse and carried away the corpse of the Japanese soldier.
Long Wenwen wiped the blood off the Japs' hands and carried the little Japs' body away. Everyone gathered together again. Long Wenwen glanced at Xia Yuan and said, "All of them have been dealt with."
Xia Yuan thought deeply and said: "Just deal with it. In the future, we will keep an eye on the defeated soldiers in the team. The Japanese are probably not chasing the defeated soldiers."
Meng Fan asked: "If it is not to chase the defeated troops, then what is it for?"
Xia Yuandao: "The Burma War failed. The rampant Japanese army will not stop in Burma. They want to eat up China. If they can tear a hole from Burma and cooperate with the Japanese army in the four northeastern provinces, they will form a front-to-back cover."
If they pinch China between them, China's situation will become pessimistic. The Burma Highway is the only way for the Allied forces to support us. They have closed this way and isolated us entirely. The border is the Nu River.
The army is fortified in the Nu River, which is not easy to attack. If the Japanese army can follow the defeated troops and sneak into the country, they can get the situation of our army's defense along the Nu River. Once they understand the possible situation of our army along the Nu River, they can
You can then choose the direction of attack based on the defense situation."
His voice became heavy: "Then the Japanese army will be able to pass through Burma and enter China's rear area!"
The defeated soldiers felt their scalps numb. If the Japanese army really succeeded, they would drive straight in from the rear and directly threaten the safety of the entire China.
Veterinary Hao said anxiously: "How can this be done? We can't let the little Japanese devil succeed!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Everyone looked at Xia Yuan, he raised his head and said: "Whether they succeed depends on whether Shangfeng can react one step ahead of the Japanese army and build a stronghold along the Nu River
If they can't, at the speed of the Japanese pursuit, they can catch up to the border in two or three days. Once their artillery is set up on the other side of the Nu River, it will be like a pole to pry open the rear."
Long Wenwen said: "If during the confrontation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, we could touch the artillery position of the little Japanese devil and take advantage of him."
Xia Yuandao: "It's not a bad idea. At this time, our guerrilla advantage can be demonstrated. Through constant harassment from the rear, the Japanese army will have trouble sleeping and eating."
Everyone nodded, thinking that this method was feasible. In fact, they themselves had no idea. Once all the defeated troops retreated to the other side of the Nu River, it would mean that they were the only troops left in Burma, isolated and helpless, with no ammunition supplies and no logistics.
It is not an easy task to guerrilla in Burma, a country occupied by the Japanese army, under the condition of security.
But they always believed in Xia Yuan. This was the trust they had gained from the shelter. After the plane crash, it was Xia Yuan who led them to survive. They also fought several victorious battles and killed many Japanese devils.
Walking all the way to the airport, if they had to choose between Xia Yuan and Long Wenwen, the defeated soldiers in the shelter would choose Xia Yuan unconditionally.
Xia Yuan once sought out Yu Xiaoqing in the middle of the night to plead for mercy for several seriously injured people who could not be taken away, and begged him to take in several seriously injured people. When they had no food to eat, it was he who led them to live a good life and have enough to eat.
It was he who found the direction and goal for the defeated soldiers, and it was he who brought a glimmer of hope to the defeated soldiers in the shelter.
"At the moment, the Japanese troops are chasing us closely. After eliminating the Japanese troops in the team, we only need to change direction to get rid of the Japanese troops behind us. This matter will be left to Long Wenwen. Our final destination is Heshun Town.
"
Xia Yuan whispered to them, "And I'm going to explore this Japanese army."
Seeing the change in their expressions, Xia Yuan said again: "It is of great significance to go here, and it is also for us to make plans for the future. The Japanese army is rampant in Burma, and they will not let it go. I am the commander and the regiment leader. I want to
To reduce troop casualties in future guerrilla warfare, we need to plan to know ourselves and our enemies."
"Tuanzuo, you can find other scouts..." Ayi opened his mouth.
"No." Xia Yuan shook his head: "The quality of the individual soldiers of the defeated soldiers was not high. They could not effectively observe the overall situation of the entire Japanese army. Take Myitkyina as an example. Chairman Chiang personally sent a telegram telling Du Yuming
The Japanese army in Myitkyina was a small Japanese army, but the real situation is that what occupied Myitkyina was a Japanese division equipped with tanks and heavy artillery. This was a lack of intelligence."
The defeated soldiers were routed all the way, and it was not feasible for them to shoulder the reconnaissance mission. This task was arduous, and any lack of intelligence was likely to result in the ruin of the entire team. Xia Yuan would not joke about the future of the Sichuan Army.
, this matter must be done personally.
Long Wenwen quickly picked up the food with his feet and stood up: "Captain, let me follow you."
Kaname stood up quickly: "I'm going too."
Long Wenwen said: "Captain, let the two of them follow you, so that you can have someone to look after you on the way."
Xia Yuan thought for a while, glanced at Yaoma and Bu La, and they straightened their chests. Xia Yuan said to Long Wenwen: "Remember, we are a regular army, not a group of non-existent people."
Man, if the soldiers have made meritorious deeds, let me hold them firmly in my hands. The credit they gained with their lives is not something I choose to give away because of our life and death."
Long Wenwen was confused and couldn't understand what Xia Yuan was saying.
In fact, when Xia Yuan went to reconnoiter the Japanese troops this time, if Xia Yuan left the Sichuan Army, the Sichuan Army would most likely follow the same path. But facing the Japanese army that was hot on his heels, he had to do it. There was always someone to do it.
The Japanese troops in Burma are dispersed. If there is only one Japanese army chasing them, it will be fine. But if the number of Japanese troops chasing is very large, then Heshun Town is not a good place to fight guerrillas. He has to think about whether to survive
When Nujiang returned to China, he still stayed away from the border and wandered behind the Japanese army.
He was very conflicted in his heart.
In the TV series, the Sichuan Legion defended the Nantianmen with their lives, buying precious time for the Yu Regiment in the rear to consolidate their positions along the Nu River. However, Long Wenwen chose to give the credit for the lives of the Sichuan Legion soldiers to Yu Xiaoqing, and even the battle
Everyone later knew that Yu Xiaoqing consolidated the Nujiang defense line and withstood the Japanese attack, but they did not know that it was the soldiers of the Sichuan Army who sacrificed their lives to buy precious time for the Yu Army.
And they just used this great contribution to make a deal with Yu Xiaoqing in exchange for the chance of their own survival.
Just like this, Long Wenwen was still shouting the slogan "How can I say that I have no clothes, I am in the same robe as my son". He did not want to be born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but he wanted to die in the same year, the same month and the same day.
In this regard, Xia Yuan must criticize Long Wenwen. He can only say that this is the embodiment of human nature. No one is perfect.
Xia Yuan set off with the two of them, taking advantage of the moonlight to run away from the large army. He has night vision and eagle eyes. No one is more suitable than him to detect the Japanese pursuing troops. Those who leave the large army must take two steps at a time.
Looking back, Xia Yuan said with a smile: "What are you doing? It's like parting between life and death. It's not like we won't come back. We just went to make a simple observation. It can take as little as one day or as long as two days to get back."
"Go back quickly, let's take a look."
The two nodded and followed Xia Yuan with guns on their backs. They quickly shuttled through the jungle from dusk to dawn.
In the early morning, hazy mist spreads in the forest, and the mountains and forests in the distance become shadowy, looking so unreal.
Many broken soldiers who looked like savages emerged from the hazy weapons. When they saw the three people heading towards the rear, they kindly advised: "There are Japanese pursuers behind. You will go over and fight the Japanese pursuers head-on."
The soldiers encountered it."
Xia Yuan comforted them and said: "The Japanese are chasing so arrogantly. Our large army is in the rear. We are going to reconnoiter this Japanese army. We are preparing to ambush this Japanese army in the rear."
When the defeated soldiers heard Xia Yuan's words, they asked with surprise: "A large army, how many people are there, are they from China?"
They all became very excited and hurriedly asked them. When the soldiers surrounding them heard the sound of the large army, they immediately gathered around and asked:
"Is it a large force preparing to counterattack?"
"Is there really our large army ahead?"
There was hope in their eyes. The defeat along the way made them lose confidence. Now when they heard the news about the large army, they all became extremely excited.
Xia Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not a large force preparing for counterattack, it's a force pulled from Burma, about seven hundred people."
After hearing Xia Yuan's words, their expressions darkened.
"A team of 700 people dare to be called a large force. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated from Burma, and they were still chased and beaten by the little Japanese devils."
"If more than 700 people go to fight the Japanese pursuing troops, they are just asking for death. Those who cannot defeat them should retreat quickly. If they run fast, they may be able to return home."
