Chapter 083 Determining the Breakout Direction
Taili said on the way back to the house with Dong Limao: "Company Commander Dong, you just carried the rocket launcher and roared angrily, it's so terrifying!"
"Is that so? I'm not a monster, what's scary?" Dong Limao replied with a smile.
"You made me feel that something terrifying than a beast appeared from you, just like...uh... like an angry lion, which could tear the opponent to pieces at any time, and like a hungry wild wolf, ready to pounce on the prey, and like... Anyway, your body is full of the fierce nature of various beasts." Taili smiled. She didn't know how to describe Dong Limao's fighting spirit at that time, either you die or I live. As a woman, I like this beastly nature in a man. Taili is a white woman, and her masculine instinct can be more experienced with the woman's sixth sense.
"Haha... This is called fearlessness without fear! What's wrong with the general? He is also a living person, no different from me! So I'm not afraid."
"The fearless one is not afraid..." Tari said this sentence repeatedly, as if it was difficult to understand the meaning of it.
"Miss Taili, go and sleep for a while. I'm afraid I can't fall asleep even if I want to sleep later." Dong Limao walked to the door of the house and said to Elizabeth Taili.
"The Five Army is in the south, and we are in the north, with a primeval forest in the middle. May I ask Company Commander Dong, how did you take us to the headquarters of the Fifth Army?" Taili asked before leaving.
This is the most troublesome thing about Dong Limao. He stared at Taili for a while and thought to himself: How did the great-grandfather take them out of the encirclement back then?
"Company Commander Dong..." Seeing that Dong Limao stared at her without answering, Taili called out again.
"Oh... there will be a way, there will be no way!" Dong Limao finished speaking and shouted to Hu San: "Little Beard! Let a few platoon leader and instructor Gou come to me! Then get us some cans of British guys."
After everyone arrived, Dong Limao said: "We have injured twenty-three brothers at present. I have checked them. They are all slightly injured. There is no problem in participating in the breakthrough battle. The question is, in which direction should we break through? Let's talk about our own ideas."
Hu San carried a box of cans snatched from the British chariot battalion warehouse, opened them one by one and handed them to everyone.
Zhao Yong first spoke: "Breakthrough is about the word "fast". You cannot get involved with the Japanese. After tearing the gap, you can quickly get rid of the Japanese's siege. This is not difficult to achieve with the overall combat effectiveness of the spy company alone, but we have to take into account hundreds of journalists and missionaries without any weapons. In this way, it may be difficult to quickly break out of the encirclement."
"Company Commander, Platoon Commander Zhu has left his life here for the sake of the British. We can no longer let more brothers take risks for this group of ungrateful foreigners. In my opinion, just ignore them. We will break out and calculate the ball!" Wang Jiagui said angrily.
Dong Limao glared at Wang Jiagui. He didn't like Wang Jiagui's selfish behavior and took over the words: "I announced an appointment, the position of deputy company commander, Zhao Yong temporarily acted, and served as the main attacking platoon leader. No one has any objection?" After saying that, he glanced at everyone and saw that no one was talking, he continued: "I didn't speak, that means I agree. The reason why I appointed the position of deputy company commander at this time was for the sake of all the brothers in the company. After all, the spy company is a collective organization. We can't let all brothers be in the grief of losing Deputy Company Commander Zhu at critical moments. Now is not the time to consider seeking revenge on the Japanese devils, nor is it when we are angry with the British, but how to get out of here. Why do we fight against the Japanese devils? Not all for
Don’t let the Japanese devils bully our brothers, sisters, fellow villagers, journalists and missionaries, although most of them are foreigners, they are innocent like our compatriots. Do you have the heart to leave them to the Japanese devils to massacre? As soldiers, they should take protecting the weak and maintaining justice as their duty. For a long time in the future, some people will remember the feat of our blood and sacrifice for them. After we all die, the descendants of these foreigners will still remember that we did not abandon their ancestors today! If anyone among you dares to say in front of me that they will not care about their own tragedy, then I can help him! You can leave the spy company now! The spy company does not need such a coward who ignores others' lives and death and wants to save his life!"
Dong Limao's words made Wang Jiagui lower his head and stop chewing.
After a while of silence, Gou Hao broke the dull atmosphere: "In my opinion, we can break through from the direction of the primeval forest and use the forest as a cover. The Japanese cannot do anything to us!"
"But have you ever thought about those journalists, young and young, and women? They are no better than us." Dong Limao had thought about it, but considering that it was not only the spy who broke through more than 100 people, he denied this breakthrough direction.
"Or, let's break through the road." Zhao Yong looked at the map and said, "Now we have cars. As long as we can break out of the Japanese encirclement and drive forward, there are 66 troops two hundred kilometers away. We are there to replenish fuel and ammunition, and then walk towards the headquarters of the Fifth Army. It is estimated that we can send them to the military headquarters a day and a night."
"But this position is the strongest defense of the Japanese, and it may be difficult for us to break through the Japanese's defense line." Zhang Dali shook his head and denied.
Dong Limao stared at the map. He also wanted to break through the road, and was worried that the Japanese troops in this position were tightly defended. However, now with armed jeeps and rocket launchers, the firepower was strong enough to break out of the tank formation. It was not impossible. The question was how to ensure the safety of journalists and missionaries on the truck.
"Apart from this road, we really can't find a faster breakthrough." Dong Limao slapped on the map and said: "As the saying goes, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is! The Japanese may not have thought we would break out from this direction!"
"The key is the timing!" Zhao Yong deserves to be a person who has worked as a company commander and explains the problem that Dong Limao always can't figure it out.
"That's right! The key is the time!" Dong Limao suddenly realized: "The attack on the other side of the river at midnight will attract some Japanese to move closer to the river bank, including heavy weapons, which will gather towards the river bank. As long as we choose a good time, we can break through the Japanese defense line on the road in one fell swoop! Zhao Yong, what time do you think is the most suitable time after the battle begins?"
Zhao Yong touched his chin with his right hand and thought for a while, saying, "After the breakout battle begins, it depends on the firepower of the new 38th Division's attack. If the river bank is not a feint, but a main attack, then in two hours, the Japanese army can mobilize defenders from other directions to provide assistance."
"I can be sure that the new 38th Division did take the river bank as the main attack direction. With the cooperation of the British chariot battalion, it quickly took the Japanese position on the river bank, and then quickly spread to the left and right wings to block the Japanese army on the left and right sides of the river bank, forming a safe area where it could cross the river. Two days later, more than 7,000 officers and soldiers from the British chariot battalion crossed the river and retreated from the encirclement..." Everyone was stunned when Dong Limao's words heard.
Zhao Yong couldn't help but interrupt Dong Limao and asked, "Company Commander, how do you know that the British army can be successfully rescued?"
Dong Limao couldn't explain to them that he knew about the book "Myanmar Expeditionary Force" sent by Bai Rushuang. He scratched his scalp and replied with a self-deprecating smile: "Haha... I personally think this should be."
