Thank you for coming to drink a cup of laba porridge from your classmates!

As a matter of fact, a unit that has the courage, determination, and courage to face the enemy will often not resort to extremely cruel means such as gouging out the eyes, digging out the hearts, burying them alive, and lighting sky lanterns on the common people, as the spies of the military command do. And the military command special forces ...... In its short five-year history, hundreds of thousands of people have died at their hands.

The commander of this new 28th Division, which was reorganized from the Military Command Special Forces, was none other than Liu Bolong, who was known as the "razor."

Needless to say, why there is the nickname "razor", razors are used to shave heads, of course, shaving here does not refer to shaving hair, but shaving people's heads.

It is said that when Liu Bolong was stationed in Yunnan, he ordered the slaughter of the village just because his subordinates were killed by stray bullets, killing more than 1,000 innocent people, causing the local chickens and dogs to be restless and shocking Yunnan and Guizhou, but Liu Bolong called it "Liwei".

This can also understand why the new 28th Division was defeated in front of the Japanese army...... Of course, a person like Liu Bolong, who doesn't take the lives of the people seriously, certainly doesn't have any sense of national honor or the desire to defend the country for the people, and it can even be said that his subordinates don't have this heart, they only think about their own interests.

In this mentality, of course, they will not resist to the death in the face of the Japanese attack, all they think about is how to bring a little more valuable things from Lashio and then escape, and even if they can't escape, they will become traitors in the blink of an eye and turn around and kill their own people.

Du Yuming looked at the map with a pale face, the loss of the two heights of 419 and 287.5 almost meant that the road from Mandalay to Lashio was cut off, and the new 22nd Division along this road to Lashio was afraid that it would be difficult to arrive in time for reinforcements from Lashio.

"How's the road from Tangkit to Lashio?" Du Yuming asked again.

"The situation is unknown!" The adjutant had only one answer.

Du Yuming couldn't help but let out a long sigh: The situation is not optimistic...... Even if the engineer regiment can break through many obstacles and reach Lashio, it will not play a great role in the battle situation, and the loss of Lashio can almost be said to be a foregone conclusion.

Of course, the engineer regiment did not know that the new 22nd Division on another route had been blocked by the Japanese army, and they were still rushing all the way towards Lashio.

It should be said that the situation in this direction is much better than in the Mandalay direction, one reason is that it is not the notorious military command special forces stationed on this road, but the remnants of the new 29th Division and the temporary 55th Division that retreated from the defeat of Luo Yi Kao.

Eighty percent of the new 29 th Division are recruits with no combat experience, but they all still have their families, conscience, and enthusiasm to serve the motherland, and many of them are the new 29 divisions that are rushing to take revenge and fight a war......

Therefore, the saying "things gather by like, and races by groups" is really good. Most soldiers who want to go to the military command special unit will have such a mentality...... That's a military commander, and after you go in, you can go sideways with a petty official, and you can enjoy the glory and wealth in the future.

However, when you join a unit like the newly formed 29th Division, which has no background and no background, and has only been formed for two months, there are many people who have a deep blood feud and really want to go to the battlefield to fight.

Therefore, although the new 29th Division had no combat experience, the Japanese army could not quickly occupy the jungle-filled heights in this dark night...... No one knows if there is a troop hidden in the jungle, and they will suddenly give the Japanese a blow from behind.

For example, there was a soldier named Meng Lezeng in the tide of escape, he was the commander of the artillery battalion of the new 29th Division, and he was sitting in the passenger cab and felt unwilling, so he shouted violently: "Stop!" ”

The car stopped with a "whoosh", and the driver looked at Meng Lezeng suspiciously.

Meng Le opened the door of the car with a bang, stood at the front of the car and shouted at his subordinates: "Brothers, we can't run away anymore!" Take one step further and put the Japanese devil in your own hall! Not only will we be killed, but even our parents, relatives, and ancestral graves and old houses are all gone! ”

Meng Lezeng is right, Lashio is not only the rear of the Chinese expeditionary force, but also the gateway to China, it is only more than 100 kilometers away from the Sino-Burmese border, and it only takes a day or two for the Japanese army to enter Yunnan and stab China in the back...... This is exactly what the Japanese army did in history, but the 56th Division of the Japanese Army that entered western Yunnan in history was recorded.

And Meng Lezeng is a native of Yunnan (Guangxi is the largest province with the Mongolian surname, accounting for nearly half of the total population with the Mongolian surname), so there is a saying that the Japanese devils will not be able to keep the ancestral tomb house even if they go one step further.

As soon as Meng Lezeng called this, many soldiers immediately responded:

"The battalion commander is right, we can't run away anymore!"

"Fight with Little Japan!"

"If the skull falls off, it's a scar the size of a bowl, and I don't want to run for a long time!"

……

Some of the deserters are really not bad breeds, and many of them are good, but they are just because they have no official heads, and no one organizes them.

Then another battalion commander named Gao Yushu turned around and shouted to his subordinates when he passed by Meng Lezeng and his party: "Brothers, think about the scene when the people saw us off when we went abroad! If we just run back like this, how can we be worthy of this human skin in the future! I won't stay if I want to leave, and if I want to stay, follow me and Camp Commander Meng to fight devils, and I will die a happy death! ”

So the two battalions, a total of 324 people, immediately seized the high ground by the roadside to build fortifications, and the heavy equipment in their hands was only ten dilapidated Japanese-style mountain guns...... These mountain guns were confiscated from the Japanese devils in the country, and because they were too dilapidated and almost unusable, they were lost to the new 29th Division.

These soldiers all know in their hearts that this is a battle without suspense, and they have only one ending in the end without logistics supplies and reinforcements: they will die here until they run out of ammunition and food.

But none of them flinched. Their purpose was not to defeat the Japanese army, but simply to prove to the motherland and their families with their lives and blood that they had lived up to their nurturing grace.

Soon after, the Japanese army did come up, so they were quickly blocked by the soldiers led by Meng Lezeng and Gao Yushu.

Therefore, fighting a war is often not only about equipment and training, but also about courage and determination!

********

In this chapter, I would like to pay tribute to Meng Lezeng, commander of the 66th Army's anti-aircraft artillery battalion, Gao Yushu, commander of the search battalion, and the 324 soldiers of their subordinates, who spontaneously stopped to block the enemy in the rout, and the two battalions, a total of 324 soldiers, all fell on the red soil outside the Chinese gate after fighting the Japanese army for more than an hour.
