The first thing Du Yuming did after settling down was to immediately contact the new 38th Division and ask Sun Liren to move towards Myitkyina.

The new 38th Division was temporarily incorporated into the Fifth Army during the retreat, and at this time it had been in the rear of the Fifth Army with the task of covering the retreat of the Fifth Army.

However, the order given by Du Yuming to the new 38 before was: "Follow the Fifth Army into the mountains and return to China through the Savage Mountain."

Even Du Yuming felt Sun Liren's resistance to this order, because he never received a call back from Sun Liren after that.

Du Yuming guessed correctly, when Du Yuming's order to "destroy the car into the mountain" was sent to the headquarters of the new 38th Division, Sun Liren was directing the troops to fight fiercely with the Japanese troops who were following. As soon as he saw this order, Sun Liren became angry: "Whose bad idea is this?!" Destroying the car into the mountain...... What to do if the car is wrecked? Tens of thousands of people threw down their equipment and drilled into the deep mountains and old forests, just afraid that even the grass would be eaten up! And let us follow...... Didn't that make us go in and starve to death?! ”

Sun Liren's consideration was right, you must know that the Fifth Army was not a hundred or two hundred people, but more than 30,000 people, and more than 30,000 people without supplies.

If Sun Liren's troops were ahead, they might still have a chance to survive, but they were behind the more than 30,000 people...... Just like Sun Liren said, I'm afraid that I won't even have to eat grass at that time!

"Master!" The adjutant next to him persuaded: "The military seat has already issued an order to the whole army, if you disobey the order, I am afraid that you will be charged with disobeying the military order, which will be killed!" ”

"Military orders?" Sun Liren thought about it for a while, and then said, "I can't watch the seven or eight thousand brothers in our division disappear like this, I have to be responsible for their lives...... Fuck it! I'm going to disobey the military order today, what's the matter, if you want to kill me, you have to cut me off! ”

"Shizuo means ......," the adjutant looked at Sun Liren.

"To India!" Sun Liren replied firmly.

"But...... The road to India has also been passed! The adjutant said, "And then it's all devils!" ”

"Then call back!" Sun Liren replied: "Kill one of them back to the horse gun, and then turn towards India!" ”

After looking at the map for a while, Sun Liren ordered: "You immediately inform all regiments of this situation and let them prepare for a counterattack!" ”

"Yes!" Seeing that Sun Liren was so resolute. The adjutant didn't say anything more, and immediately passed the order down.

The new 38th Division decided to part ways with Du Yuming after receiving the order to "destroy the car and enter the mountain", and Sun Liren fought this battle very beautifully...... The devil didn't expect that the Chinese soldiers who fought and walked along the way would suddenly turn back, and they were caught off guard and were defeated by the new 38th Division, and when the devil stopped his pace and organized defense and waited for the new 38th Division to attack again, the new 38th Division turned west and embarked on the road to India.

However, just as the new 38th Division was preparing for a counteroffensive and westward into India, it received another telegram: "Myitkyina has been occupied by our troops. Quickly move closer to Myitkyina! ”

When he saw this telegram, Sun Liren couldn't help but be stunned, didn't he say that Myitkyina had been occupied by devils? How could it be taken by the Fifth Army?! Isn't it time for the Fifth Army to go into Savage Mountain? Why is it in Myitkyina again!

Sun Liren even wondered if this could be a trap for the Japanese army to seize our army's radio station and then send a telegram to the new 38th Division under false names to lure them to jump. But after repeated confirmation and verification, I realized that what was said in the telegram was the truth...... The Fifth Army had indeed occupied Myitkyina.

"Master! You see......"

Sun Liren nodded, looking at the map and was silent.

Sun Liren is also a soldier with backbone, if it weren't for the order to "destroy the car and enter the mountain", he would not easily disobey the order and do his own thing.

Looking at the map, Sun Liren saw at a glance that Myitkyina was a very special place, not only because of its strategic location, but also as an important transportation hub, in addition to the Inovady River route. To the south, it leads to Bamo to Lashio and connects with the China-Myanmar Highway, and to the west it can reach the Myanmar-India border with Menggong and Kameng.

In other words, it was connected to India to the west and China to the east, although most of these roads were occupied by the Japanese at this time. But this also means that as long as Myitkyina is held, then it will form a natural flanking situation against the Japanese troops occupying the Sino-Indian and China-Burma highways.

Therefore, although the expeditionary force's way back to China has been cut off, it only needs to rest and recover in Myitkyina. It will be possible to open the China-Burma highway again and break the blockade of China by the Japanese army.

Thinking of this, Sun Liren no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Cancel the plan to go west to India and withdraw to Myitkyina!" ”

Du Yuming on the other side finished sending the telegram. The new 22nd Division, which had just been replenished with food and rested for a while, was sent to the other side of the Inovady River, and Yu Shao's 96th Division was sent outside the city to the Kumang Mountains in the northwest.

He could not concentrate all the forces of the expeditionary force in Myitkyina, and the result would be that the Japanese army would surround Myitkyina and bomb it indiscriminately, and at the same time, the expeditionary force would need more room to operate.

Myitkyina is located right in the center of the entrance to northern Burma, with two divisions on the left and one on the right, and the new 38th Division and the Engineer Regiment in the center, so that a defensive line with Myitkyina as the center will be formed to keep the Japanese army out of northern Burma.

Among them, the Kumang Mountains located in the northwest of Myitkyina are the most dangerous, according to the overseas Chinese who are familiar with the Kumang Mountains, this mountain can almost be said to be nowhere to be found, even if there is a sheep's intestine path, the grass is overgrown and the steps are difficult, it can be said that it is a natural barrier to the west of Myitkyina.

After arranging these, Du Yuming breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his chair and looked at the map in front of him in a daze...... Since the withdrawal of the Fifth Army from Mandalay, he and the Fifth Army have drifted like duckweed without roots, and although there are roads in front of them, almost every one of them is a dead end. At times, he even wondered whether his decision to insist on withdrawing into northern Burma rather than India was right or wrong, and worried that his decision would kill many of the soldiers who trusted him to obey his orders.

But now, a big stone in his heart can finally be put down...... With Myitkyina, with a strong force like the Fifth Army in his hands, plus the materials and equipment captured by Myitkyina, he was confident that he could block the attack of the devils.

At the same time, Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Du Yuming's command of Ruoding's deployment of troops, and he knew that Myitkyina's defense would not have any major problems.

He finally changed history and reversed the defeat of the Fifth Army on Savage Mountain.

However, Zhang Chi also knew that this was just the beginning, and the Japanese army would not let the Fifth Army easily sit on Myitkyina and hold the throat of northern Burma...... Where does the future lead? Zhang Chi himself doesn't know! (To be continued.) )
