Although the ancient war did not achieve the strategic goal of regaining Yangon, it gave the Japanese army a great blow, greatly defeating the enemy's flames and boosting the morale of the Allied Army. Its strategic significance is very obvious. Later 200 was ordered to withdraw safely in the early morning. Not only did it not leave a single wounded person, but the enemy did not notice it. The Battle History Office of the Japanese Defense Department wrote on page 64 of the Myanmar Strategy Battle, Volume 1: "The 200th Division has always been strong in will, and the troops who retreated and contained remained firmly in the position until the end and fought to the death. Although the enemy was indeed very brave, the commander of the army, Lieutenant General Iida and his subordinates praised his courage.

Wu Ming led the Rangers and the Overseas Chinese Volunteer Team to retreat into the jungle, preparing to build a temporary camp first. After the Japanese brigade drove away, he looked for an opportunity to attack the enemy.

The mountains are high and deep, the shape is strange, the climate is changing, the rain is heavy, the fog is heavy, the rivers and streams are crisscrossing, and the green and dark jungle is an unforgettable maze or a cold and ferocious trap for outsiders.

Under the leadership of the Overseas Chinese Volunteer Team, the Rangers climbed vines and kudzu, sometimes climbed up the wall and sometimes crawled. Many places had to use hatchets to open the way, crawled endlessly, crossed the dense forests and deep grass, wade through curved streams, or run on bare rocks.

"For many years, that place has been abandoned, but I didn't expect it to be used again now." Huang Zongwu said with a smile: "I have lived a comfortable life in the past few years, and my body is not good." What he said was a gem mine that had been mined and abandoned. I don't know if there were embroidered houses and shacks on the hillside, but there was stream there. It was also very hidden and very suitable for a camp.

"Captain Huang is modest." Wu Ming smiled faintly, "Aren't we all the same?"

"You can't say that. The training has just been two or three months, and it's already good." Huang Zongwu said: "It has potential, and this clothes are really easy to use. It's hard to tell if it's a little far away."

Camouflage uniforms first appeared as camouflage uniforms. Hitler's army first used camouflage uniforms at the end of World War II, which were "three-color camouflage uniforms". On the one hand, these patches can distort the outline of the human body. On the other hand, some of the patches are similar to the background color, and some of the patches are significantly different from the background color, which divides the appearance of the human body from the visual effect, thereby achieving the effect of camouflage deformation.

The place worn by Wu Ming and others is similar to the beggar's clothes, which are disguised clothes spliced ​​with rags. Although they are not as good as the four-color clothes and six-color clothes of later generations, the camouflage effect in the jungle is still much stronger than that of a single color.

"Now do you know what it means to break through thorns? The training for the past two months has been pediatrics. If you want to come and go freely in the jungle, you can't even do it. We still have to learn and improve together in practice!" Wu Ming looked at his subordinates with a smile. They were all listless and exhausted. The camouflage uniforms were already wet with sweat, and everyone was emitting the stench of sweat and mud, and they were unbearable torment, and they wanted to tear off a layer of skin on their bodies. However, Wu Ming and Huang Zongwu both ordered everyone not to loosen their cuffs, collars and trouser legs in the sewage. Because there was water in the sewage, leeches on the leaves, and poisonous insects in the grass.

Everyone took turns to pick up the machete and move forward hard. After the guidance of Wu Ming and Huang Zongwu, they had found some tricks and no longer chop randomly like they did at the beginning. They were wasting physical energy. They were getting more and more experienced in cutting, but they just opened a single sidewalk and stopped chopping randomly. Sometimes, people could travel through the gaps or crawl, and try to use knives and axes as little as possible.

This is the tropical jungle, which is extremely dangerous for unfamiliar people, but for people who have adapted to this environment, such as the semi-primitive people in the mountains and forests, it is the most beautiful place.

This is the tropical jungle, dark and humid, with a community of life hanging high above the head, and a thorny rod under the feet, which are entangled with life and death. The jungle is thick and dense. The bright sunshine cannot penetrate the sky made of lush leaves, but occasionally a few spots of light are penetrated from the mesh. Below the feet are soft and black leaves, and the unknown trees are hanging with net-shaped air roots, slightly swinging, like a row of nooses. Looking forward and looking far away, it is like a black green tunnel leading to the bottomless abyss. Every step is a daunting adventure.

…………………………………

Ten days later, in addition to leaving more than a dozen people to guard the camp, Wu Ming led the rangers out of the jungle again and began to spy on the movements of the Japanese army near Tonggu.

"It seems that the Japanese have used this place as a temporary material distribution center." Wu Ming put down his telescope and said softly.

"Although the large army has left, there are also many left-behind troops." Huang Zongwu frowned, "and the defense is still very tight."

"Then let's fight the Japanese convoy first, I need

Military uniforms." Wu Ming pointed to the highway, "set an ambush, and the Japanese escort soldiers on the road."

"Then go to the highway three kilometers away, which is a good place to get ambushed." Huang Zongwu thought for a while, pointed to the map and said.

"Captain Huang, with you, I really found the treasure." Wu Ming smiled and praised: "With you, it doesn't matter whether this map is used or not."

"I've been awarded too much, I've been awarded too much." Huang Zongwu hurriedly said modestly.

On the main road three kilometers north of Tonggu, this is a bend, and there are jungles a hundred meters away on both sides of the road. From a geographical point of view, it is indeed a good place to ambush.

—

"Look, after the Japanese occupied Tonggu, they must have sent troops to search and clean up nearby." Huang Zongwu pointed to the footprints on the soft mud in the jungle and said: "This should be the trace left by the Japanese military boots, and there were many branches and weeds that broke soon after they were found nearby."

"It's true." Wu Ming had already seen these things, but his confidence increased greatly. "This shows that the Japanese army must have relaxed their vigilance and believed that there would be no stranded enemies in this area. It seems that our ambush has greater hope."

"Tan Zheng, your second team is ambushing the opposite side." Wu Ming's face turned right and began to explain the mission to his subordinates, "Fu Lijun, your third team is ambushing here. The blasting team will release bombs on the way. I led a team to unfold backwards. After the first car was overturned, I immediately started attacking. Remember, only shoot but not charge. After hearing my signal, retreat immediately and not be allowed to fight."

"Yes." Everyone stood attentively and took people away.

The sky was surprisingly clear, the sun slowly became brighter, and the stars-like wild flowers in the low grass showed off their colors to the rising sun. The aromatic smell dissolved and evaporated in the heat, and the jungle was silent.

As Wu Ming said, the Japanese army did not notice that there would be enemies nearby, and the army had already pursued them, so this place should be a safe rear. Therefore, the convoy carrying ammunition and medicine supplies did not escort the troops too much.

With the sound of motors coming from afar, the shadow of the enemy's car was vaguely seen. The car was getting closer and closer, with a total of fifteen cars, and there was a large carriage behind it. The first car was filled with a "plaster flag" and dozens of Japanese devils were sitting, wearing flashing steel helmets and a bayonet rifle in their arms. They pointed and whispered in the car, and didn't know what to say.

With a loud "boom", the front car was blown up by the powerful American bomb. The huge air wave threw the car parts and the Japanese in the car into the air, and then fell heavily. The wreckage of the car ignited a raging fire.

With the explosion, the ambushed team members immediately opened fire with their weapons, grenade launchers, rockets, machine guns, rifles, and various ammunition frantically poured towards the Japanese supplies team that were caught off guard.

The front car exploded and caught fire. The cars, big cars, mules and horses behind were crowded with each other and could not walk. The drivers and co-pilots were knocked unconscious by the sudden ambush and jumped out of the car and spread out everywhere. They never dreamed that they would encounter such a fierce blow here during the day.

The cars that were forced to park on the road became the living targets of the Rangers, and were hit one after another and exploded. The frightened horses and mules neighed and ran around in the rain of bullets, which further exacerbated the chaos of the Japanese army. Although the Japanese who jumped out of the car and the carriage woke up from their initial ignorance and tried to fight back with guns, they could not pose too much threat to the Rangers that had gained the advantage of territories, people and advantages.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Wu Ming shot and killed a commander holding a saber, howling desperately, and killed a Japanese devil who was lying under the car and was about to set up a machine gun. At this distance, without sniper rifles, he could shoot with no bullets even when using a US-made carbine.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The explosion sounded repeatedly, and grenades loaded on a car exploded. The members of the Rangers could clearly feel the ground trembling, and debris kept falling down and smashing the ground "bang dong" sounded. Many grenades thrown into the air by air waves splashed and exploded, destroying more cars, causing larger explosions, killing more mules, horses and ghosts.

A choking smell of gunpowder came over. Wu Ming looked closely and saw that the unexploded grenades on the road were everywhere, and many small pits that did not exist appeared on the ground, which were all exploded by grenades flying around. Screams and horse neighing were heard from the fire, and the explosion continued to be heard.
