Meng Shaoyuan felt as if he was being held tightly by Dai Anlan for seven inches!
If Master Meng doesn't want to do something, he has a hundred ways to get out.
But Dai Anlan said nothing more and did nothing more.
He just gave the other party a military uniform.
This is more useful than any threats or inducements.
If the other party doesn't value this military uniform at all, then there's no point in forcing him to stay.
But if Meng Shaoyuan has a sense of honor and mission for this military uniform, then it is the best weapon to retain people!
As expected, Meng Shaoyuan stayed with his guards.
They all put on military uniforms without any hesitation!
Meng Shaoyuan thought he was very handsome.
I look the most handsome in military uniform!
"Let those two Japanese women go."
Meng Shaoyuan confessed.
Originally, he wanted to take the two female ninjas with him all the way.
But now that he is wearing a military uniform, he will soon have to fight with little Japan. The impact of being in the military like this is too bad.
Although you are reluctant to let go, you still have to let go.
If there is a chance in the future, I will come back and interrogate you properly.
"Old Cui."
"arrive."
"You go back to Baoshan first and get in touch with Mr. Dai." Meng Shaoyuan ordered: "Ask him to immediately send people to bring radio stations and other material reinforcements. I will stay in Myanmar to assist the expeditionary force in operations. While I am away, Wang Nanxing will be in charge Working in the Operations Division.”
"Sir, it's better for me to stay." Cui Guiguang said quickly: "I also know some English and can do the job of liaison officer."
"Old Cui, there are some things that only I can do." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "Execute the order, go ahead!"
"Yes! Sir, take care of yourself!"
Cui Guiguang originally thought that he already knew Meng Shaoyuan very well, but he suddenly found that Meng Shaoyuan was so strange in his eyes.
When he put on this military uniform, the lecherous and shameless Chief Meng just disappeared.
But what replaced him was a real Chinese soldier!
…
On February 17, 1942, as the vanguard of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Ding Wenrui Advance Battalion arrived at the Pew River Bridge.
At that time, there was an endless stream of British troops retreating hastily from the front line.
No one wants to stay longer to find out what's going on with this kind of foreign troops appearing here.
Meng Shaoyuan also wanted to find out the situation on the front line.
But he soon discovered that he had thought too much.
Most of the defeated British soldiers were unwilling to pay attention to them. The only thing they cared about was how to escape from here as soon as possible.
Occasionally, there were British soldiers who were tired from running and resting aside. Meng Shaoyuan tempted them with cigarettes and got some information.
But damn, I got several different answers.
Some said that the Japanese army dispatched a regiment, and some said that the Japanese army had at least two divisions.
Bullshit!
If a coalition beats you like this, the empire will lose all face.
Two divisions?
There is only one fucking Japanese 55th Division in total!
What a bullshit military power!
The only valuable information was that it was clear that the British troops on the front line had been defeated, and the Japanese troops were chasing them away like ducks from behind.
A larger rout would pass over the Pew River Bridge.
The advance battalion has begun to build positions.
On the battlefield, time is life.
With enough time, even if they are at a disadvantage in terms of weapons, they can at least rely on solid fortifications to minimize casualties.
This is also what Meng Shaoyuan is most proud of.
The advance battalion is only the forward force, and the main force of the 200 Division will not arrive on the battlefield until March.
During this period, what the advance battalion and Meng Shaoyuan had to do was to consolidate the defense line of the Pew River Bridge, place explosives, and be ready to blow up the bridge at any time.
And behind him is Tonggu, also known as Donggua!
Stationed there was the 1st Division of the British-Burmese Army.
The advance battalion has made contact with the 1st Division.
But at this time, the morale of the 1st Division was low. As reports of defeats from the front continued to come, from the division commander to the soldiers below, they had no intention of fighting at all.
The only thing they were thinking about was how to get out of this hellish place as quickly as possible.
There is something even more frightening to them:
Heavy Japanese troops have already pressed close to Yangon, and Yangon fell in just a matter of seconds.
Yangon has been lost, so what’s the point of clinging to Tonggu?
Therefore, they ignored the advance battalion's deployment of defenses on the Pew River Bridge.
I even think these Chinese people are crazy.
The British think the Chinese are crazy, but some people find it exciting.
Overseas Chinese living in Tonggu!
After so many years, this was the first time they saw their country’s army appear here, and this was the first time they saw their country’s flag flying here!
The overseas Chinese in Tonggu quickly organized a condolence group and rushed to the Piqiao River Bridge 12 kilometers away from Tonggu to express their condolences.
When they saw the Chinese flag flying on the Pew River Bridge, some overseas Chinese took off their hats and bowed in salute, and some burst into tears!
After the Sino-Japanese War, China was poor and weak, and was at the mercy of others.
When did you ever think that one day our flag of Greater China would fly overseas?
"Lieutenant Colonel Meng Shaoyuan, attached to the 599th Regiment of the 200th Division of the 5th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, has arrived!"
This was also a false position specially arranged by Dai Anlan for Meng Shaoyuan in order to facilitate contact with the British army.
The head of the overseas Chinese condolences delegation hurriedly bowed to Meng Shaoyuan:
"Hello, sir, I am Qiu Wenlun of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry. I am pleased to hear that our country's military athletes bravely went abroad and rushed thousands of miles to help. I, the Chinese in ancient times and the Chinese in Myanmar, feel inspired and proud. Sir and the soldiers of the national army, thank you for your hard work. .”
"President Qiu, you're welcome." Meng Shaoyuan exchanged a few words with the other party:
"Since we are all Chinese, we won't beat around the bush when we talk. It is the first time for our army to go abroad to fight. We are unfamiliar with the local people and the British are not cooperative. Now, we don't even have maps of ancient times and its surrounding areas. The situation in ancient times is even more unknown.
I would like to implore President Qiu to get us the map and the entire situation of Tonggu as soon as possible. How many people, how many buildings there are in Tonggu, which places are strong and which places have complicated terrain, I want to know all of these as soon as possible. "
"Okay, okay." Qiu Wenlun agreed repeatedly: "I will personally take care of it immediately. Sir, we have brought some condolences. I don't know if it is appropriate to give them to the brothers."
"No problem, but what we urgently need now is not condolences." Meng Shaoyuan explained: "What we urgently need most is a large number of sacks, wood, nails, and stretchers. If possible, we are also very short of medicines."
"Sir, don't worry. Even if the ancient Chinese and I go bankrupt, I will prepare what your commander wants in the shortest possible time!" Qiu Wenlun said with enthusiasm: "Tonggu wants people to give people, and materials to give materials. It's not easy to see us. The army is worth it, worth it.”
"Then please, President Qiu."
Meng Shaoyuan cupped his hands: "My brothers are all over there, and the war will start in these two days!"
Here, we will become the front line of defense of Tonggu!
