"This dog agent obviously charged with two battalions together. He gave all the credit to the advance battalion!"
Dai Anlan laughed and scolded: "This dog spy, I have to repair him properly when I find the opportunity."
Chief of Staff Zhou Zhizai was not in the mood to joke: "Division Commander, throughout the whole day, the 55th Division relied on its artillery superiority to bombard our positions crazily with aircraft, artillery, and tanks. Some positions were flattened several times.
At first, when the Japanese artillery fire stopped, our soldiers rushed to repair the position. Just after repairing it, it was bombed again, so they simply stopped repairing it. "
"It's nonsense." Dai Anlan glared; "I'll repair it once it's flattened. Don't be afraid of trouble. We can't make fun of the lives of the soldiers."
Although I said this, I was really helpless.
Although it is the most elite unit in the national army, compared with a Type B division of the Japanese army, the gap is still wide in all aspects.
The 200th Division has 10,000 troops, versus the 55th Division with 20,000 troops!
In terms of artillery fire, they were far behind.
20 75mm field guns of the 200th Division against 36 150mm field guns of the 55th Division, 100 mortars against 200 mortars, and 3 tanks against 40 tanks and armored vehicles.
In terms of air support, the 200th Division has zero, and the 55th Division has the absolute advantage of three aviation squadrons!
This battle is bound to be a hard fight!
There is no way, no matter how difficult it is, we have to fight on!
"The key issue is material supplies!" Zhou Zhizai was worried: "The tanks we left in Lashio have not been shipped yet, and what the British promised has not been fulfilled. If we have these tanks , the situation in the war with the ancients will become different again.
Also, where is the air support promised by the British and Americans? I contacted several times, but there has been no response. "
"Old Zhou, I think maybe Meng Shaoyuan is right."
"What did he say?" Zhou Zhizai asked hurriedly.
Dai Anlan was silent for a while and then said: "I had a long talk with Meng Shaoyuan before, and he told me that don't expect the British to help us. The British planes have already retreated to India. The Americans promised to Support is also a fucking thing. Well, he said 'fuck' directly in front of me."
Zhou Zhizai couldn't laugh at all: "This guy is from the military command, and he has more detailed information than us. What else is there?"
"This guy was swearing profusely, cursing the British 'fuck' one after another, but the more I listened, the more frightened I became." Dai Anlan's face was as dark as water: "He said that a battle with the ancients would never happen."
"What? He dares to say this?" Zhou Zhizai was shocked.
Dai Anlan's tone was solemn: "There is nothing he dare not say. He judged that the British army on the Western Front would soon give up resistance and directly expose our right wing to the Japanese army. Therefore, the 200 Division will face two Japanese divisions. If we are surrounded, we will be trapped in Tonggu, and the so-called battle with Tonggu will only become a defense battle of Tonggu!"
"Oh my God, this guy really dares to say that." Zhou Zhizai was dumbfounded.
"Old Zhou, this must not be spread. He is also thinking about our 200 Division. If it is spread, he will be labeled as destroying the friendship between the Allies and spreading rumors and causing trouble." Dai Anlan sighed: " Meng Shaoyuan is a glib person, but I can really feel that he really wants to help our 200th Division!"
Zhou Zhi nodded again: "Yes, he is willing to risk everything to say these things in front of you. Commander, we must pay attention to his words. If what he said is verified, then our 200 Division The situation is really dangerous! I think we should prepare for the worst situation as early as possible? "
"I have the military order, so I have to obey it." Dai Anlan said seriously: "The Allied Command ordered that our 200 Division stick to Tonggu. Without an order from the headquarters, not a single soldier of our 200 Division is allowed to evacuate!"
"That being said, I have an idea." Zhou Zhizai suddenly lowered his voice: "There is someone who can make full use of it."
"You mean Meng Shaoyuan?"
"That's right, it's him." Zhou Zhizai seemed to have thought everything through: "This person has accurate information, many methods, and is more familiar with Tonggu than us. I heard that he ordered his guards to arrive early Tonggu has installed explosives in many places, so let's talk about his preparation for street fighting early in the morning.
In this case, let me step forward and secretly give Meng Shaoyuan an order to prepare a complete retreat plan and retreat route. If it really comes to that point, we can be prepared. Commander, I know what kind of person you are, but a secret agent thinks about us at every turn. We have to be responsible for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers! "
Seeing that Dai Anlan was still hesitant, Zhou Zhi continued: "Commander, I know that if this matter is leaked, it will shake the morale of the army and talk about defeat before victory, and it will also be charged to the British. I have a clue. But this order was given by me, and there is no written order. When the time comes, you will deny it.
The specific executor is not from our 200 Division. He is sent by the military commander to assist us. We have no control over what he does. When the time comes that the British really want to pursue the case, I believe Meng Shao has the original method to deal with it. Didn't Scott and the defeated British soldiers obediently leave supplies and weapons for us in front of him? "
Dai Anlan said worriedly: "In case, I mean just in case, is it too unjust to let him bear the blame alone?"
"Sir, you are too kind." Zhou Zhi sighed again: "More than ten thousand soldiers went abroad to fight, and behind them were thousands of parents, wives and children waiting for them to come back. They gave their children, husbands and fathers to We must take them back alive.
Yes, that's right, we may have deceived Meng Shaoyuan, but we would rather deceive our own people than be deceived by the British for no reason. Although Meng Shaoyuan has a bad reputation, I have observed him for a while and found that the blood of soldiers still flows in his bones. He can speak boldly to you, why? He is worried that something will happen to our 200 Division! "
He will understand, he will understand.
"Old Zhou, I'll leave this matter to you." Dai Anlan finally made up his mind: "But you must be careful about keeping secrets. He is a smart man and can understand what you want him to do in just a few words. Also, he wholeheartedly works for For the sake of our 200th Division, I can’t be sorry for someone’s friend. If there is a responsibility, I will bear it with him.”
"It was my idea, and I have the responsibility. I will bear it with him." Zhou Zhizai smiled slightly: "It's great to have another chief of staff, but in our 200 Division, you are the only division commander!
Tonggu is just the first battle, and there will be bigger battles to be fought in the future. No one in the 200 Division can be missing, but you, Dai Anlan, can't be missing! "
In front of the country, all personal interests have become so insignificant!
