Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

After a whole day of heavy rain, it finally stopped, but outside Lashio City, another bloody storm had just begun.

Ten minutes later, Liu Xianwei and Tang Hao entered Lashio City with a squad of security guards and a dozen staff officers and other civilian personnel.Of course, in special operations teams like the Airborne Brigade, there are no purely civilian personnel. Anyone who picks up a gun is a soldier, and it is definitely not the kind that makes up numbers at critical moments.

The flares fired from time to time in the sky made the visibility in the city quite good.At this time, Lashio City was full of ruins and dilapidated walls, and the humid air was still full of the smell of gunpowder smoke. Several houses that had not been burned in the rain, after the rain stopped, the wind blew and crackled again. .

There are bomb craters everywhere on the street. If the visibility is not good, people walking on it may fall into the crater at any time. In short, this place is not like a city, but a ruin.

Not long after Liu Xianwei and his party entered the city, they heard noisy footsteps, mixed with some indistinct shouts and curses. The people around them suddenly became tense, raised their guns and spread out in battle formation, entering a fighting state. Liu Xianwei and Tang Hao hurriedly walked behind a section of ruins.

Soon, they found out that it was a false alarm. A few soldiers from the Bonneiwen and Guard Battalion came. However, there was a huge team behind them, holding hoes, wooden sticks, kitchen knives, and machetes. .

"Why all this, all this?" Liu Xianwei stepped forward and asked.

Bo Naiwen said: "These are the people in the city, basically Chinese and overseas Chinese, the old and the weak, women and children have arranged to seek refuge in the east, and the rest of the young and strong have to come to help the expeditionary army kill the devils, I can't even persuade you."

After being ravaged by devils for so long, and killing so many of them, it's finally time for revenge. Everyone can understand their feelings at this time.

But this is a war, and it is not possible to kill the enemy with courage and blood. These ordinary people who have not received any training on the battlefield will not only fail to bring casualties to the enemy, but will also bring constraints to their own soldiers.

But it can't dispel their enthusiasm. The army and the people are like water. This is a good start. Liu Xianwei first gave a high evaluation and affirmation of their performance. There is no need to go to the battlefield. It is not possible to kill the enemy with blood and courage. If they really want to help, they actually have other methods, which are far more valuable than going to the battlefield.

That is to act as a logistical role for the army, helping to transport the wounded, take care of the wounded, repair bridges and repair roads, and even make some food and drink for the soldiers.

Liu Xianwei's proposal immediately won everyone's approval, and everyone expressed that as long as these little devils can be driven away, they are willing to do anything.

Soon, under Liu Xianwei's instructions, the soldiers who accompanied Bonai Win into the city divided nearly two thousand people into several groups, each leading a team, and Ulala rushed to their respective battlefields.

As soon as these people left, Liu Xianwei hurriedly asked Bonai Win, "Mr. Ne Win, have you found out about Mr. Aung San?"

Bo Nai Win sighed, and pulled out a young man dressed as an ordinary Burmese from behind, and said, "Borden, tell us about the situation, and tell Brigadier Liu what Daw Aung San told you."

Bodeng took a step forward, made a standard military salute to Liu Xianwei, and then told him that yesterday afternoon, Lieutenant General Maeda Toshiwei, head of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Wanding, suddenly came to Lashio and ordered Aung San to immediately come to Lashio. Gather troops and give no reason.

Aung San didn't want anything to happen at this juncture, so he had to follow suit. Who knew that after the troops were assembled, Maeda Toshiwei ordered Aung San to divide into two brigades. One brigade went north to accompany the Infantry Iguchi Regiment, and the other brigade went south with the infantry. The Infantry Abe Wing moved together, and the rest moved with Maeda Toshio.

where to goWhat are you doing?You are not allowed to ask questions, and there are Japanese soldiers guarding all around during the whole process. You are not allowed to whisper or desert, and those who disobey the order will be killed on the spot.

It was also at this time that Dazuo Aung San learned that the Japanese Abe Wing and an armored vehicle wing were still stationed in Xibao, south of Lashio. They belonged to the No.16 Brigade of the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army, along with the Jingkou Wing in Lashio. group.

Afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Japanese army and destroying the original attack plan, Aung San had to obey the order of the Japanese army and divide into two brigades, and he took the rest of the troops to act together with Maeda Toshiwei.The accompanying Japanese army was a brigade of the Japanese Iguchi Regiment.

After the troops traveled more than ten miles westward, Aung San found an opportunity to teach Borden face-to-face, and asked him to find a chance to desert and come back to Bonne Win, and told Bonne Win about their situation, and at the same time said that the original plan would not change.

In this way, taking advantage of the inattention of the Japanese army, Borden rushed into the woods on the way, and did not touch Lashio until last night.

After listening to Borden's report, Liu Xianwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Aung San did not change his mind, the battle would still have to be fought. According to the information they obtained, the Japanese army ambushing them was just a brigade, but the artillery fire was stepped up. , and at the same time there is an armored wing, just want to eat two regiments of his airborne brigade just for this pomp?Liu Xianwei felt that the appetite of the Japanese army was too great.

However, the Japanese army did not know that Aung San was ready to surrender. If more than 1 of them were counted, the scene was not small.

After thinking about it for a while, Liu Xianwei asked Borden if there was any way to find Aung San. He estimated that the Japanese army was setting up an ambush to the west. They thought that if the two regiments from the north and the south attacked, the expeditionary force would inevitably break through to the west, so the distance would not be too far. .

Borden said it shouldn't be difficult.

Liu Xianwei asked him to bring a letter to Aung San, asking Aung San to rise up immediately and annihilate the Japanese brigade directly, and then lead the troops to Lashio to join them, and told Aung San not to worry, don't worry, the expedition The army troops have already crossed the river at the front of Ruigu, and they will join them soon.

Borden took the order to go, and Liu Xianwei and his party hurried to the second regiment, because at this time the sound of gunfire and artillery in the north had become more intense.

After walking a few steps, Liu Xianwei seemed to suddenly think of something. He looked back at Bonnewin and asked, "Abe United? Borden just said that the south is the Abe United?"

"Yes, it's the Abe United."

Liu Xianwei's expression froze, and he asked anxiously, "Is their team leader Abe Jinwei, the former team leader of the Japanese 38th Division Mohua Wing?"

Bonnewin looked surprised and said, "Yes, how do you know?"

Liu Xianwei suddenly stopped talking, and turned his eyes to Tang Hao, the chief of staff beside him. Slowly, both of them clenched their fists, gnashing their teeth and looking terrified.
