Chapter 1261 is not a doubt, but a certainty
Gan Lichu is from Huangpu Phase I.
The Eastern Expedition, the Northern Expedition, the Communist Party, and the Central Plains War were not over.
Because Mr. Jiang likes to use Huangpu students from his local native place, he restricts local forces.
So when there was no war, Gan Lichu's attention should be focused on the forces in Guangdong and Guangxi.
He had no objection to let Hu Lian coordinate the battle on the Western Front.
Although he is a teacher and commander of the fourth-stage student, the commander of the first-stage student is not in accordance with the rules, who will let Minister Chen take charge of his backstage take charge in Myanmar?
It was a bit interesting to receive an apology telegram from Zhou Xiaoshan to him.
Gan Lichu had to solemnly call Deng Xihou and Zhou Xiaoshan to reply, willing to assist Hu Lian and wipe out the 17th 18th Division of the Japanese Army.
And he took the initiative to send a telegram to Hu Lian and request a task.
This made Hu Lian a little flattered.
The senior in the telegram called out one after another, and the order was still correct.
In Beimiao's case, Gan Lichu not only had to cooperate with Rao Guohua Division and Yu Shao Division to form a defensive line to defend Beimiao, but also sent a large number of small troops to investigate the intersection where the Japanese army might escape from the left and right wings under the leadership of the Overseas Chinese Self-Defense Forces of the South China Sea.
Gan Lichu immediately judged that Hu Lian might join forces with Yu Shao, Rao Guohua and Liu Yuantang to defeat the 17.18th Division.
Last night, Hu Lian and Zheng Chong captured the supplies of the two Japanese divisions.
Immediately followed the highway from Ren'anqiang to Yangon and organized a blocking line.
What surprised them was that the Japanese 17.18th Division did not continue to move forward halfway, and there were less than two regiments fighting their blocking positions.
Although he is not afraid of death.
The fight was also very fierce, and Hu Lian suspected that the Japanese would take a detour from the Nuokai Mountains or Pingmanna.
The Flying Tigers came here to investigate in the morning.
Some of the Japanese troops' cars and supplies were on the road, just over twenty kilometers ahead of their positions.
Liu Yuantang behind him didn't dare to get too close. They bombed the two divisions miserably last night.
It is too difficult to fight the soldiers who broke the Japanese behind borrowed the terrain.
Hu Lian is still thinking about it.
Rao Guohua brought Zheng Chong to find him.
"Team Commander Hu, Zheng Chong suspected that the Japanese might have run away last night and stayed there. It was the troops with the rear and the Communist Youth Army!"
Hu Lian was very surprised at this moment.
Qiu Qingquan, the eastern front, blocked his life and failed to stop the Japanese from escaping. There was nothing we could do. If the Western front could not wipe out the Japanese 17.18th Division, his new commander would make a big joke.
"What basis?"
Hu Lian stared at Zheng Chong with his eyes tightly.
Zheng Chong didn't care and said in a hurry.
"I just received a report from the scout last night. The two Japanese divisions returned to the aid chariots and the baggage corps, and stopped at our hands! Here, this place called Wangla, not only gathered the Communist Youth Army, the Volunteer Army, but also recruited villagers around!"
"Are there any large number of Communist Youth Army and villagers who came out of the Japanese camp?"
"Yes, at around 8 o'clock in the morning, they were pulling ox carts and horse carts, which didn't look like an army, but it seemed that there were arms in the carts?"
"In that direction?"
"Pingmanna direction!"
Hu Lian on the map hurriedly opened up Hu Lian and asked Zheng Chong to continue talking.
"I suspect that the Japanese have escaped from their shells. Using the open terrain of Wanra, they can dodge left and right, and also because we did not form an encirclement in time. Retreat to Pingmanna. You must know that although we have nearly 300,000 troops entering Myanmar, the gap between Pingmanna and Mandalay is very empty. If the Japanese plan to advance quickly, they can completely cross a gap and join the remaining Japanese on the Shan Plateau!"
"Not doubt, it's certain!"
Hu Lian hurried to the telecommunications office.
"The front-line command will immediately launch an attack on the remnants of the 17.18th Division of the Japanese Army, send a report to Liu Yuantang, asking him to attack with all his might and pull all the artillery up. The purpose is only one, to prove whether the Japanese army escaped from the shell last night!"
The Japanese 5th Division suffered a lot in the Nuokai Mountains.
The information obtained was that non-combat reductions were almost one brigade.
The 17.18th Division will definitely not escape from the south, although the coastline is very close, there are still Japanese fleets to support them.
Toward the northward direction, towards the Shan State Plateau in the northeast, they meet with the remnants of the 55.56 Guard Division, which is their only way to live.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Liu Yuantang immediately ordered the pursuit troops to attack at all costs.
Yu Shao's troops, Rao Guohua troops from the direction of Beimiao, and the newly formed 26th Division were also launching an attack.
Although some Japanese troops were very tenacious, they relied on their positions to block the attack.
A large number of vehicles were blown up.
There are also several planes to assist.
Still can't withstand the attack from the north and south.
In less than two hours, he captured a large number of prisoners alive.
The 17.18th Division only left more troops than the other brigade, and the rest were the Gongrong Army and local villagers wearing Japanese clothes.
At least two Japanese troops from the regiments ran away.
And he ran north arrogantly, ignoring the existence of the expeditionary force.
Hu Lian and Liu Yuantang were so angry that they almost captured the prisoners.
"What's the use of getting angry here? I'll inform Zhou Xiaoshan immediately and let the 200th Division stationed in Tonggu return to Pingmanna, and send a large number of troops to investigate, block the intersection, and discover the Japanese army as soon as possible, so as not to let the Japanese run away!"
What Rao Guohua said makes sense. Hu Lian sighed and arranged the pursuit directions of the new 22nd and 145th Divisions.
Send a telegram to Zhou Xiaoshan immediately.
I heard that a platoon of the 145th Division's investigation company followed the Japanese army, so I quickly ordered the most pursuing troops to take Zheng Chong as the commander-in-chief.
Take a steady step and do not cause unnecessary losses.
Zhou Xiaoshan and Deng Xihou who received the telegram were not surprised.
The Japanese are at a dead end and can come up with any solution.
The Japanese in the two regiments said no more, no less.
It is indeed a bit embarrassing to be really driven by them from the Western Front to the Shan State Plateau.
Their trouble will affect the deployment of the expeditionary force.
First of all, Chen Li and Su Hai's troops retreating from Yangon may encounter such defeated Japanese soldiers near Pingmanna at any time.
Zhou Xiaoshan hurriedly sent a message to Su Hai and Chen Li, asking them to slow down their advance and protect the spoils and huge convoys stolen from Yangon.
Liu Bolong's troops who set out from Mandalay may also encounter these Japanese devils at any time.
Zhou Xiaoshan simply sent a message to Liu Bolong, asking him to find various roads that might appear in the Japanese army, make arrangements in advance, and prepare to intercept the Japanese army.
The 200th Division will definitely return from Tonggu to help Pingmanna.
Their baggage and supplies must be fully collected.
Dai Anlan cooperated with Liu Bolong and once the former discovered traces of the Japanese army, he immediately went up to siege.
He didn't believe it, and he fought for so long.
17.18 The Japanese soldiers of the two divisions were both iron-clad and could learn from the Red Army's Long March of 25,000 miles.
The defeated army has no morale and can survive thousands of miles of battle. It is definitely a miracle to survive in the face of siege and blockade.
Even the Japanese soldiers armed by Bushido absolutely have no ability to perform such miracles.
