    Yiyi said goodbye, and Dong Limao sent Dao Lanxiang away like this.

    Dao Lanxiang¡¯s departure has become an eternal farewell.

    At night, Dong Limao thought of a question.

    That was before time travel, my father mentioned that Dao Lanxiang went to see her great-grandma with her photo.

    Thinking of this, Dong Limao was shocked, and then he remembered the photo.

    Dong Limao ran to the cave where he spent the last night with Elizabeth Terry. He clearly remembered that he did not take the photo away, so he went to the creek with Elizabeth Terry. Then something unfortunate happened, and he later forgot the photo.  .

    "Here comes someone" Dong Limao looked around with a pine oil lamp but didn't see the photo, so he shouted loudly.

    "Company commander, what's the matter?" Two guards ran in from outside the cave entrance and asked.

    "Who organized this cave after Miss Tai Li's death?" Dong Limao asked, looking around the walls of the cave.

    "It was sorted out by Military Doctor Dao." A guard answered.

    "Lanxiang" Dong Limao thought that the photo might have been put away by Dao Lanxiang, so he ran out of the cave and returned to the cave where he and Dao Lanxiang lived to see if Dao Lanxiang had put the photo somewhere.  place.

    However, Dong Limao searched almost every corner of the cave and could not find any photos.

    "It's broken" Dong Limao sat down on the ammunition box and said to himself: "Lan Xiang took the photo away. I will never go back to the era I lived in before, and I will never see my parents again.  He Rushuang, I will die in Songshan"

    Dao Lanxiang did take the photo with her. When she was packing her luggage, she originally thought about giving the photo to Dong Limao, but then she thought that if something happened to him, she and her child would have nothing to worry about. After the child was born,  , don¡¯t even know what his father looks like.  So, Dao Lanxiang kept the photo on her body just to think about it in the future. It seemed that she felt that she would never see Dong Jiacheng again.

    Of course Dong Limao didn¡¯t know what Dao Lanxiang was thinking. He still hoped to use that photo to travel back in time at the end of the Songshan Battle.

    "Did Lan Xiang later find Grandma Tai and say when she handed the photo to Grandma, 'This is the only relic left by Company Commander Dong. He gave it to me before he rushed into the underground tunnel and asked me asked me to hand it over.  What I said to you' was a lie. Dao Lanxiang was not with my great-grandfather at all, was she just making it up?" Dong Limao thought of this and became extremely desperate: "If this is really the case, I am already a dead person.  Maybe I died when I fell into a big explosion pit while paying homage to my great-grandfather in Songshan, and now maybe the bones have begun to rot." Dong Limao groped randomly on his body with his hands: "Even if this is true, this time travel will not be the same.  It was worth it! I lived a resounding life! Others are nothing when they die, no matter how great a person they are, but I, a poor student who failed the college entrance examination twice, actually traveled through time and became my great-grandfather after death, killing the Japanese with great force.  , This is thousands of times better than those bullshit great men!"

    Thinking of this, Dong Limao smiled, laughed heartily, completely gave up the idea of ??life, and was mentally prepared for the heroic battle in Songshan.

    In the next six months, Dong Limao led the special agent company and accepted the leadership of Zheng Chengkui, the commander of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column in Western Yunnan. He mainly engaged in sneak attacks on Japanese convoys and small groups of Japanese puppet troops on the highway. There were no major battles. Such battles did not occur.  He did not cause any reduction in the number of agents in the company, and he protected the lives of his brothers very well.

    However, in June 1944, the expeditionary force began a full-scale counterattack in western Yunnan. After the Songshan offensive, the bad luck of the spy company had just begun.

    In order to cooperate with the crossing of the Nu River to attack Songshan and defend the enemy, the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column in Western Yunnan received an order from the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, requiring the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Column to launch attacks on major towns such as Tengchong, Longling and Mangshi, and to contain the Japanese and puppet troops from advancing towards Songshan.  reinforce.

    The attack on Longling County became the main battlefield for the guerrilla column. Zheng Chengkui personally led the guerrilla column and cooperated with two divisions and one regiment of the 71st Army of the 11th Group Army that bypassed Songshan. Among them, Dong Limao's spy company also participated in this operation.  The first siege of Longling.

    The battle started in full force on June 1. The expeditionary force on the east bank of the Nu River fired heavy artillery at the Japanese positions in Songshan and Yinbushan.  With the cooperation of aircraft, the New 28th Division of the 71st Army of the 11th Army forcibly crossed the Nu River and attacked Zhuzipo.

    The sudden left-wing offensive launched by the expeditionary force put the Japanese army into a passive position, and the Japanese puppet troops in western Yunnan and the Burmese front army were quickly mobilized to reinforce the Songshan front line.

    Blocking the Japanese and puppet troops from reinforcing Songshan in Longling became the key to capturing Songshan. However, as the Japanese and puppet troops continuously mobilized large numbers of troops from Mangshi and Ruili to Burma, and Longling City was easy to defend but difficult to attack,  The expeditionary force fought interspersed with two divisions and one regiment, plus Zheng Chengkui's Western Yunnan guerrilla column. In fact, they were fighting alone in depth. Logistics and supplies could not be guaranteed at all. Songshan could not be captured for a long time, which led toThe battle reached a stalemate for a time.

    In order to help readers understand the real scene at that time, it is necessary to give a preliminary introduction to the strength and combat situation of the expeditionary force that mainly attacked Songshan:

    ****, the 82nd Regiment of the New 28th Division of the 71st Army of the Eleventh Army quickly occupied Zhuzipo after crossing the Nu River.

    On June 5, the 82nd Regiment of the New 28th Division of the 71st Army attacked the Yinshan Mountain position.  Yinshan Mountain has a steep slope of 60 to 70 degrees, and there are bunkers everywhere, which serve as a barrier for the main peak of Songshan Mountain.  The Japanese troops suddenly opened fire when the expeditionary force entered the position within 100 meters.  Only one platoon of the 3rd Battalion survived the attack on the top of the mountain.  Although supported by the mountain artillery battalion on the east coast, the 82nd Regiment's other two attempts to charge to the top of the mountain failed.

    On June 6, the 82nd Regiment deployed 2 American "Bazooka" rocket launchers and 3 M2 flamethrowers.  The infantrymen crossed the barbed wire fence, rushed to the top of the mountain, and fought hand-to-hand with the Japanese troops.  However, Japanese artillery fire on the slopes and Songshan Mountains hit the top of the mountain, causing the officers and soldiers who had reached the top of the mountain to withdraw from the battle.  Captain Liang of the 7th Company and Captain Li of the 9th Company were killed.

    On June 7, the 82nd Regiment captured the Yinshan Mountain position, and the Japanese captain committed suicide after breaking his leg.  The 83rd Regiment attacked Gunlongpo.  Gunlong Slope is the highest point behind the Bamboo Slope. If it can be captured, the Japanese army in Songshan will be attacked from both sides. Therefore, the battle will be as fierce as the battle for Yinshan Mountain.

    On June 820, the overall war reached a stalemate.  On the 11th, the 117th Regiment of the New 39th Division of the 6th Army was assigned to the New 28th Division.  On the 13th, under the leadership of the guide, the expeditionary force destroyed the Japanese water supply pipes from Huangtupo to Dayakou and Yinshan Mountain.  On the 15th, the 3rd Company of the 83rd Regiment occupied three small side defense forts on Yinshan Mountain.  On the 17th, the 82nd Regiment occupied most of the top of Yinshan Mountain, and the 83rd Regiment captured two Dayakou fortresses.  The Songshan offensive did not make much progress. Instead, the troops attacking Longling fell into a crisis. Wei Lihuang was forced to use the expeditionary force's general reserve force to form the newly formed 8th Army. The 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Rong Division and the 71st Army of the 3rd Rong Regiment were assigned to attack.  Matsuyama.  On the 20th, the 82nd Regiment completely occupied Yinshan Mountain, but was unable to attack Songshan.  The 2nd Battalion of the 83rd Regiment and the 84th Regiment attacked Gunlongpo.  So far, in the Songshan attack battle, the expeditionary force had suffered more than 1,600 casualties, including more than 1,000 casualties from the New 28th Division.

    With the onset of the rainy season in mid-June, flash floods broke out, the Nu River doubled in width, traffic was cut off, and the mountain roads were muddy, making it impossible for mules, horses, and cars to travel.  Without logistical support, the morale of the expeditionary force was shaken and the offensive retreated. Although they had the numerical advantage, the weather and location were unfavorable. They fought against the odds, traffic was blocked, and heavy rain made the attack difficult.  On the 21st, both Wei Lihuang and Song Xilian realized that Songshan, who was in a secondary position in the original plan, had become the key. If Songshan could not be defeated, the whole line might collapse.  Then Commander Zhong Bin of the 71st Army was ordered to lead the main force of the 84th Regiment of the New 28th Division to Songshan to supervise and command the battle.

    From June 22 to 23, the commander of the 71st Army deployed the 117th Regiment of the 6th Army's New 39th Division, the 1st Battalion of the 82nd, 83rd, and 84th Regiments of the 71st Army's New 28th Division, and the 71st Army Mountain Artillery Company to attack the Japanese army in Songshan.  The casualties were extremely heavy.

    On June 27, Zhong Bin appointed Liu Youjun as the frontline commander, and the last coordinated infantry and artillery attack with the 117th Regiment and the 1st Artillery Regiment also failed.

    On June 28, six Japanese aircraft dropped ammunition supplies to the troops defending Songshan. This was the first time Japanese aircraft appeared in Songshan since the Battle of Songshan. This greatly boosted the morale of the Japanese troops defending Songshan.

    So far, the first stage of the Songshan Battle ended with the failure of the expeditionary force. By the time the 8th Army took over the defense in early July, it had captured several Japanese support points at Zhuzipo, Lameng Street, and Yinshan Mountain.

    During the first phase of the attack on Songshan, to be precise, late at night on June 5, Dong Limao received an order requiring him to lead a special agent company to blow up the Taojin River highway bridge from Longling to Songshan.

    This is the only road bridge from Longling to Songshan. As long as this bridge is blown up, the Japanese and puppet reinforcements will not be able to use trucks to transport soldiers, ammunition and supplies to Songshan.

    After accepting the mission, Dong Limao led a spy company of more than 100 people, intending to bypass the Japanese army. However, he encountered more than ten times the number of Japanese and puppet troops than the spy company.

    These Japanese and puppet troops did not drive towards Songshan, but wanted to take a detour and quietly rush to Songshan's aid. They did not expect to encounter Dong Limao's spy company at the Gold Rush River.

    It was too dark and neither side could see each other clearly.

    When the special agent company arrived at the Taojin River bridge, they were almost mixed with the Japanese troops.

    An officer of the puppet army asked: "Which branch are you from?"

    Zhang Dali even replied loudly: "We are from the special agent company."

    The officers of the puppet army did not react for a moment and continued to move forward, but Dong Limao reacted and came, but it was too late. The brothers of the special agent company were almost mixed with the Japanese and puppet troops. He secretly complained in his heart and quietly gave  Zeng Zifan next to him said: "If the Japanese soldiers ask questions, you should answer in Japanese."

    Zeng Zifan didn¡¯t know that the spy company was mixed with the Japanese and puppet troops, so he asked inexplicably: ¡°Company commander, what¡¯s your answer?¡±

    "We are mixed up with the Japanese and puppet troops. If the Japanese troops ask questions, just answer that we are rushing to aid the Songshan puppet troops." Dong Limao confessed in a low voice.

    "Ah" Zeng Zifan almost screamed, but Dong Limao covered his mouth with his palm.
