It was not Dai Anlan's order, but the self-decision of defending the Pew River Bridge. After receiving the information from the Japanese army in the division headquarters to Tonggu, they immediately sent a motorcycle search team to work with the Myanmar Huaqiao Volunteers to track the railway along the railway, and found an excellent ambush position 30 kilometers south of Tonggu...

To the south is a small lake, to the north is a small hill covered with dense forests, and behind the forest is a flat land. The road is only forty meters away from the forest. The north is high, and there is no cover or blockage on the south, and the entire public is unobstructed.

The search team leader was also a bold guy. He immediately suggested to Lin Yuanzhuo to set up an ambush here and ambush the Japanese vanguard. Lin Yuanzhuo went to check it out in person. Thinking it was feasible, he dispatched a reinforcement battalion and secretly moved to ambush here at night.

The ambush was fought neatly and neatly. The Japanese army's actions in Myanmar were so smooth that the British army was about to collapse. Therefore, although the Japanese army had China in the same ancient times, the actions were still very bold.

A squadron was sent by the river as the van. The Japanese army took a bus to Tonggu without any reconnaissance, but ended up falling into Lin Yuanzhuo's ambush circle.

The biggest result of the ambush was not to eliminate more than 100 Japanese devils, but to seize a Japanese combat plan and deployment map. According to this deployment map, the 18th Division of the Japanese army was mainly attacking Tonggu, and about a gang attacked Moltke on the Eastern Front, the 35th Division attacked Plomei, who was defending the British army, and then inserted it to Tonggu to surround the New 39th Division, while the 56th Division was the general reserve team of the Japanese army. "Tsk tsk, I have to remember Lin Yuanzhuo for some reason." Dai Anlan looked at the information in his hand with great satisfaction. Deputy division commanders Zheng Yinong and Huang Zhen also nodded. Dai Anlan turned his head and said to Huang Zhen: "Li Xuan sent someone to the military headquarters."

Then he said: "Based on this information, we need to adjust the deployment. Our front is the 772nd Brigade, responsible for the defense of the Guzhou outpost positions Ekchun and Tantabao. This line does not need to be changed. A strengthening battalion was originally planned to be placed at Keyonggang Airport in the north. Now it seems that it needs to be strengthened and let the Mongolian doctors go. The 773rd Brigade and the direct troops of the division headquarters stay in the city, and the tank team is placed outside the city. Nanyang Station is led by Guo Shuanzhu, the commander of the 786th Brigade, led two regiments to guard it."

This Mongolian doctor was the commander of the 786th Brigade of the New 39th Division. He was brought back by Zhuang Jihua from the Great Wall. He was originally a company commander under Deng Wen's army. He was not a Mongolian man, but his surname was Meng and his name was Dafu. Everyone called him Shunkou and became a Mongolian doctor.

The Japanese army's operation strategy was not much different from that of Dai Anlan's previous estimate, so the adjustment was not big. He was very confident that he would stick here for a week and complete the task assigned by Zhuang Jihua.

"Tell all brothers that this battle is related to the power of our expeditionary army, and to the people of our country are eagerly waiting for news of our victory. All soldiers must not be afraid of sacrifice and fight bravely. If I die, Deputy Commander Zheng will be replaced by Deputy Commander Zheng and Chief of Staff will be replaced. Officials and assistants at all levels must designate replacements!"

The first battle was won, and the New 39th Division was full of morale. Tanaka Shinichi was furious and ordered the Riverside to be punished and made meritorious. Hebian Dongyuan did not expect that he would fight the first defeat after entering Myanmar. With the shame and Tanaka's order, he personally led his troops to launch a fierce attack on the outpost of the New 39th Division.

The test of blood and fire began, and Tonggu turned into ruins in the sound of explosions. The New Thirty-Ninth Division relied on preset fortifications and stubbornly resisted, and thus they embarked on a journey that was famous all over the world.

But in Mandalay, more than 300 kilometers away from Tonggu, the generals of the Allied Powers were still arguing about how the Battle of Myanmar should be carried out.

Stilwell and Alexander arrived in Mandalay together, but Alexander's attitude had changed at this moment. He skillfully persuaded Stilwell not to counterattack, but instead organized a battle in Mandalay, first setbacks the Japanese army and then counterattacks. Zhuang Jihua didn't want to do this proposal.

"Clash? How to fight? What specific suggestions does General Alexander have?" Zhuang Jihua had to show some energy to deal with it. He was very impatient. It turned out that he also wanted to fight the Japanese army in Mandalay, but He Wei's suggestions shook him. These days he was thinking about withdrawing Lash, leaning against the country, and fighting with the Japanese army, but he was reluctant to part with Mandalay's terrain advantages. He was hesitating, but as soon as Alexander's suggestion came out, he wanted to leave.

"Our British army is responsible for defending the Western Front. We set up defenses along the east bank of the Irrawaddy River and blocked them layer by layer. The Your army was in Tonggu, Pingmanna blocked the Japanese army, and then assembled heavy troops in Mandalay to counterattack it. It would definitely hurt the Japanese army severely." Alexander looked a little arrogant, and his eyes just swept down Zhuang Jihua and turned to Stilwell.

With Alexander's description, the troops were equipped and the enemy-to-weapon situation quickly formed a combat map in Zhuang Jihua's mind. The British army was all concentrated west of Mandalay, and the front and eastern fronts were responsible by the squadron.

On the front, he concentrated the New Eighth Army and the Order Army. On the eastern front, he released the New 28th Division of the Sixty-sixth Army to defend Tangji and Legu. In addition, the vast areas of eastern Myanmar only drew a brigade from the New 29th Division to be responsible for the defense. The troops were extremely weak and were actually only responsible for monitoring the area.

As for the Japanese army, from the obtained situation, three main divisions of the Japanese army rushed to Dongzhao along the railway, and two divisions pursued the British army. According to the schedule, Japanese

Zhuang Jihua also keenly realized that once the British army was defeated on the Western Front, the Japanese troops of the two divisions could pounce on the side of the squadron guarding the front. At that time, once the Japanese army successfully attacked Lashio according to He Wei's idea, the expeditionary army in Mandalay would fall into a heavy siege of the Japanese army. It would be as difficult as heaven to escape.

"But I heard that Bei Miu has lost his life." Zhuang Jihua asked tentatively.

"Impossible" Alexander immediately denied it, and then said confidently: "I have not received such a report. By the way, our Governor's Office and General Command are going to move to Meimiao, General Zhuang, the battle of Mandalay will be the first battle for the Allied forces to fight together in Myanmar. I believe that as long as we work sincerely, we will definitely win this battle."

Zhuang Jihua curled his lips slightly, cooperate sincerely? You have a good plan and put it in a position where you can attack and retreat or defend. If you want to fool me, my 200,000 army will be destroyed.

"I think so. In order to reflect the cooperation between the allies, I will send two divisions to the Western Front, and your army will transfer one division to the front." Zhuang Jihua said seriously: "Also, I ask the entire army to be under my command, General Atlanta and General Shi Maowi, you two will go to Lashio or Meimiao first."

"No, according to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's order, I am the commander of the Myanmar War Zone." Stilwell immediately expressed his objection. At this moment, Li Anding quietly came in and whispered a few words in Zhuang Jihua's ear. Zhuang Jihua changed color in vain and stared at Alexander in a stalemate. Alexander and Shi Mawei were a little puzzled.

"General Alexander" Zhuang Jihua said in a low voice: "You said that Bei Mi is still in your hands? Is that true?"

"Of course" Alexander's expression changed slightly and he quickly returned to normal. Zhuang Jihua stood up and slapped the table hard, his face trembling: "Don't you, Bei Mi lost two days ago. Who are you lying to?!"

Zhuang Jihua suddenly changed color, which scared Stilt. Then he was shocked by the news he provided. Bei Mi's loss was nothing, but the key was that Alexander just said that the alliance was working together, but in a blink of an eye it was proved to be deceiving.

Zhuang Jihua left with a sleeve, and Stilwell was extremely disappointed. After the officials left, Stilwell asked in a low voice: "Why?"

Alexander waved his hand indifferently: "General Zhuang may have misunderstood. I did not receive any reports on this. However, General Stilwell, we should join forces to catch these yellow people on the battlefield and not let them hide behind. This world should be the white people who set order."

"But you know very well that without Chinese people in Myanmar, we cannot defend Myanmar." Stilwell almost shouted, his voice trembling with anger: "Myanmar is not Dunkiel."

Alexander stood up, with a tall body, his military uniform was straight and his copper buttons were shiny. He smiled cheerfully: "General, we should talk to him again. The Battle of Mandalay is feasible."

"Do you think he will believe you?" Having said that, Stilwell still stood up and went to find Zhuang Jihua.

After Zhuang Jihua left, he headed straight to the war room. When Yu Jishi and Xiao Yisu saw him coming in angrily, they hurriedly asked what happened. Zhuang Jihua told them the matter. Yu Jishi and Xiao Yisu were very puzzled. They did not understand why Alexander did this.

"It's clear now that Alexander's purpose is to use our army to cover the British army's retreat to India." Zhuang Jihua was in a bad mood. He couldn't fight before the Battle of Mandalay began.

"Telephone order Lu Han, the 58th Army stopped in Lash," Zhuang Jihua decided to evacuate Mandalay: "Lu Han took over as the commander of Lash, and the New 31st Division was assigned to the 58th Army to garrison Meng Jie, and General Zhang Shu led the 66th Army headquarters and the New 29th Division to move to Jing Dong, responsible for monitoring the Japanese army on the Myanmar-Thailand border."

Now the Sixty-Sixth Army was completely disbanded. Three divisions, one was assigned to the Expeditionary Army headquarters, and the other was affiliated with the Fifty-Eighth Army. While cursing in his heart, Zhang Qiang led the Sixty-Sixth Army headquarters and the New 29th Division to Jingdong on the Thai-Myanmar border hundreds of miles away.

"Then the Battle of Mandalay is no longer fought?" Yu Jishi was a little surprised and asked repeatedly.

"No more fights." Zhuang Jihua walked straight to the map: "How is Tonggu?"

"Dai Anlan reported that they had given up their alert positions and retreated to Ekechun and Tanta Castle." Xiao Yisu reported.

"Tell them that the original mission will not change, continue to stick to Tonggu, and cover the transfer of Mandalay's materials."

A large number of supplies withdrawn from Yangon are still concentrated in Mandalay. Although after this period of rush, a large number of supplies remain in Mandalay. In addition, in order to give Lashio more time to prepare for the war, Dai Anlan also needs to stick to Tonggu.

"Liangzhen, go to Lashio immediately and tell Lu Han about our plot, Damn, these British guys want us to bleed for them, there is no way!" Zhuang Jihua thought of Alexander's face, and couldn't help but feel a sense of hatred in his heart.
