    The two corps of the Eastern Front Combat Group, with more than 300,000 troops, were just east of Mandalay City. They watched helplessly in the night, a long dragon made of lights, like a defeated rooster, shrinking and meandering towards southern Myanmar.  It was a long line of flashlight lights, horse lights, and a few car and tank lights.

    When it comes to the degree of mechanization, the Japanese army is a whole generation behind the ** Division troops. If the main corps of the ** Division march at night, they are completely composed of various vehicles and lights.  The brigade commanders all called the corps headquarters, "Commander, are we just going to watch the little Japs flee south without firing a single shot?"

    "Commander, please approve. The heavy artillery regiment of our brigade will be marked with a base number. The soldiers are all anxious and red-eyed. If this continues, I can't stop it." This was a call from the commander of the third brigade.  The caller said, "Commander, I know the division commander's strategic plan, but I can't just watch the little Jaap run away so easily, right? Please approve, our brigade will attack, and I promise to cut off a big piece of fat for you."  This is a call from the commander of the First Brigade.

    Feng Jiwu always responded to these brigade commanders' requests for battle: "No, no shot can be fired without my order. If you can't help itching your hands and poke me into trouble, I will definitely let the division commander deal with me when the time comes."  I can't help you," just suppressed the request of the brigade commanders of his own regiment to fight.  Ma Chaoyang, commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, called again.

    Ma Chaoyang did not ask for a fight, but simply relayed the opinions of his regiment commanders.  Something to say.  It's almost like asking for a battle. "Deputy division commander, I can't be the commander of this corps. The brigade commanders under me are almost blasting my phone. There is only one idea. The Niangziguan Garrison Corps can open fire. Our Southeast Mobile Corps  Why not? Tell me, deputy division commander, how should I explain this to my subordinates? "

    Feng Jiwu was so angry that he became happy.  "Ma Chaoyang, the one who told you that the Niangziguan garrison has begun to attack the retreating Japanese army, said. Where did you get the information? Are you kidding me? You don't know the division commander's strategic deployment, and you are here to cause trouble for me.  Let me tell you, what your brigade commander means is basically what you, Ma Chaoyang, mean. If you are not afraid of the division commander coming to settle the score with you, then open fire!"

    As soon as Feng Jiwu put down Ma Chaoyang's phone, another phone rang rapidly.  Feng Jiwu was furious, grabbed the phone and shouted: "It's not over yet. I said before, no shots are allowed without my order. What, you say it again, okay, I know the secret surveillance."  "

    Feng Jiwu put down the phone and happily walked around in circles. This call was not from the brigade commanders asking for battle, but from the frontline troops.  "The Japanese army is in the east direction of Mandalay, in front of our army. They have deployed a large number of troops and have plans to attack us." If you want to sleep, bring a pillow to prevent the retreating Japanese army from hitting you. This is a good time, the little devil is coming to your door.  .

    It's a good thing that there is a battle and it does not violate the division commander's order. Feng Jiwu immediately ordered: "The Eastern Combat Group, immediately carry out annihilating attacks on the Japanese troops facing you. Note that only attacks on the Japanese troops facing you are allowed. If you are that  If you can't hold it back, don't blame me for handing you over to the teacher. You'll be responsible for the consequences!"

    When Feng Jiwu said these words, everyone listened attentively. Although the division commander Tang Qiuli had warned in advance that discussion of military issues was not allowed, those present here all had a background of leading soldiers in war. After a few glasses of wine, they added  The war situation in Burma has basically been settled, and he felt comfortable and returned to his old job after a few words. Feng Jiwu said, and asked Ma Chaoyang, "Commander Ma, I am not wrong, are you still playing tricks on me?  You said that the Niangziguan Garrison Corps attacked first, thinking that I didn¡¯t know. At that time, you were as anxious as a cat scratching your head, and you were more anxious than some of the brigade commanders under you. "

    Ma Chaoyang's face was red, Feng Jiwu could joke with him, but he didn't dare to joke with Feng Jiwu, so he could only mutter: "That's not because they forced me. Besides, I heard that your corps attacked first, can I not be anxious?  "Everyone burst into laughter. After the war, it is not fun to talk about the war that just happened.

    Tang Qiuli shook his head helplessly. It was probably more difficult to stop these guys from talking about the war than to stop them. Fortunately, they were all easy topics, so he did not stop them. As for Liu Xinlan, the unsuccessful wine supervisor  Official, not even a shadow was seen at all.

    Feng Jiwu said it easily. Ito was not in such a relaxed mood at the time. The sound of gunfire in the east of Mandalay made Ito break out in a cold sweat. Needless to say, it must be the flanking troops of the Japanese Army launching attacks on him.  After the attack, things still happened. The troops of the four divisions were able to block the interception of the ** division troops at the expense of themselves, although this was difficult.

    The sound of gunfire rang out almost all night long, and Ito's heart was also in his heart all night long. What gave him some comfort was that the battlefield was always in the east of Mandalay, and there was noIt developed in the direction of troop evacuation, which proved that the blocking force played its role. When the sky was dimming, all the Japanese troops had evacuated the Libao Grand Canyon defense line and Mandalay.

    Ito was one of the last batch to leave Mandalay, which had been occupied for half a year. Before leaving the city, he stared for a long time at the eastern battlefield of Mandalay where sporadic gunshots were still ringing. He could not see the troops that had completed the blocking mission and retreated.  One can imagine how difficult it is to come up with four divisions to block the swarming of more than 300,000 Japanese division soldiers.

    These warriors of the Japanese Empire, soldiers of the Imperial Army, were using their flesh and blood to open a hole for the main force of the dispatched army to evacuate. Ito looked and looked until he could see through it. The battlefield was completely silent and he didn't see anything.  A soldier withdrew. He knew that the troops of the four divisions were finished. Next, they would face the endless pursuit of the troops of the ** division.

    Ito's motorcade drove out of Mandalay, and he turned back to drink for the last time. The city of Mandalay in the colorful autumn, this important town in central Myanmar, carries too many of his dreams and ambitions. Today, he has to leave, what?  When can we come back again?  Ito knew that he would never be able to recover like this again in his life. Two drops of turbid tears fell silently down his wrinkled face. The guards in the car could not help but sobbing softly, as if they were  An elegy for Ito Genzaburo, the ambitious Japanese general.

    Ito looked back from the direction of Mandalay, his face straightened, and he restored the usual coldness and perseverance of Japanese soldiers. He shouted to the driver, "Open the way!" He had no time to be sad, although the imperial army had withdrawn south,  But the next trouble is not small. He must deal with the crazy pursuit of the Japanese Army. The Chinese devil will not let him go.

    Until now, Ito still believes that his decisive decision to withdraw southward was beyond Tang Qiuli's expectation. In other words, it achieved an unexpected effect. He has ordered the 35th Division of the vanguard, the 35th Division, to  Seven mixed brigades, the Eighth Cavalry Regiment, and the Ninth Chariot Regiment were formed to recapture Taunggyi and Leigu and open the passage for southward retreat.

    Since the troops of the ** Division flanking Mandalay were concentrated in that direction, Taunggyi and Leigu must have weak defensive forces. It was a good time. To Ito's surprise, the Japanese vanguard troops captured Taunggyi and Leigu.  It took no effort and captured the two southeastern gateways to Mandalay without firing a shot.

    Feng Jiwu didn't put any soldiers in these two places. Ito couldn't figure it out. He absolutely didn't believe that Tang Qiuli and his generals would make such a low-level mistake, which frightened Ito.  One judgment is that this is the conspiracy of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, and he must be waiting for me somewhere ahead.

    That's not right. Tang Qiuli's troops were all concentrated on the front lines of Mogok and Mandalay. The third troops from him were enough to compete with the main force of the dispatched army. Ito was confused. Furthermore, the rearguard troops reported,  No pursuing troops of the Imperial Army were found, which meant that the imperial army could retreat southward calmly.

    Is there such a good thing?  Ito, who had been repeatedly hit and seriously injured, did not believe this fact at all. On October 14, Ito's headquarters entered Liagu. When they got here, they had already walked halfway to Yangon. The leading Japanese troops had already entered.  At the Dandang front line, no troops of the Japanese Army intercepted or blocked the attack, and the tense nerves of the Japanese soldiers began to relax.

    No one believed that the troops of the Japanese Army would attack the Imperial Army again. Only Ito thought morbidly that the Chinese devil troops would appear in unexpected places like ghosts. He said over and over again on the phone.  He emphasized again and again, "Pay attention to ambushes, pay attention to interceptions, pay attention to dangerous areas, conduct fire reconnaissance first, and send small groups of troops to search and advance."

    The Japanese division commanders almost had calluses on their ears. In the end, they all got tired of hearing, "Why, Commander, you are like a psychopath, always imagining that the enemy will appear. The division's  The pursuers are still about four days away from us. "Needless to say, Ito's actions greatly reduced the speed of the Japanese army's retreat.

    Before the pursuit of the ** Division arrived, on October 15th, the bomber group and fighter group of Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group arrived. There were more than 200,000 Japanese troops. The retreat route stretched for more than 100 kilometers, and everything was possible.  At the location of the bombing, the aircraft fleet of the Japanese Army was like a blind man, turning a blind eye to the large Japanese troops retreating south, but they seized the Japanese rearguard and launched air strikes and bombings vigorously.

    The soldiers of the Japanese rear guard, whose flesh and blood were flying everywhere from the bombing, were complaining endlessly, cursing their commander-in-chief as a crow's mouth, always talking about pursuers, but now they really came, it was a group of planes specially designed to drop bombs overhead, so  Got your idea?

    Not to mention, as soon as the Le Yiqin fleet exploded like this, the retreat speed of the Japanese troops immediately accelerated. No one wanted to stay behind and be a living target of the planes. The Japanese troops on the stand had no choice but to shout down.Shit, I couldn't be more depressed. There were even more people who were more depressed than the Japanese soldiers.
