Chapter 893 The troublemaker is here
Zhou Weiguo took a deep breath and threw his cigarette butt on the ground. "Let's retreat and leave Tonggu to them."
Fang Shengli finished the can in a few big mouthfuls and stood up. "Should we save some breakfast for them?"
breakfast?
Zhou Weiguo shook his head. "Forget it. Just consider it as a reward for giving us a day's time. Also, leave them a copy of the map of Burma and South Asia that the British army gave them."
"You're such a good person, worried that I'd get lost in South Asia and even left me a map. But I really like it."
The military maps of South Asia and Myanmar were placed carelessly on the table, and there were even seven or eight cans on the table. Takeuchi Hiroshi, who brought his men into this simple command center, took a look at the cans on the table, and then his eyes fell on the two military maps.
He reached out and picked it up, and a piece of paper slipped out. The adjutant next to him squatted down, picked up the note, and opened it. After reading the contents, he handed it to Takeuchi Hiroshi. "General, this was left by Zhou Weiguo of the Independent Brigade."
"Oh." Takeuchi Hiroshi took the note and looked at it.
The British 1st Division has no weapons or equipment. If you want to chase them, go ahead. I won't stop you. Also, I've left some supplies for you in warehouses along the way. Don't worry about me planting bombs. Don't worry, we are not mortal enemies yet. I wish you a smooth pursuit, Zhou Weiguo.
Ha ha……
Takeuchi Hiroshi laughed a few times and turned to the Chief of Staff beside him and said, "Order the Nakamura Brigade to immediately attack the British 1st Division. Also, transfer the transport convoy to the Nakamura Brigade."
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, Zhou Weiguo is a treacherous and cunning man. We absolutely cannot trust his words." If we really pursue him, and if he sets up an ambush along the way, then the Nakamura Brigade will probably be surrounded."
Takeuchi Hiroshi glanced at the map in his hand and shook his head. "Don't worry, if he wanted to attack us, he wouldn't leave us this. Also, send a telegram to Army Command. My 55th Division has been fighting the enemy in Tonggu for several days and has completely captured Tonggu today. We are currently resting in Tonggu. Ask for the next battle plan."
On the day Zhou Weiguo withdrew from Tonggu, Commander Bai issued an order to transfer the independent brigade back to Mandalay for rest and recuperation.
The troops lost almost two-thirds of their personnel, including artillery and field hospital personnel. The independent brigade can be said to have temporarily lost its combat effectiveness and needs to rest and replenish.
After returning to Mandalay and settling the troops, Zhou Weiguo took Xiao Ya and Chao Xiang Xiuling to the command center.
Deputy Commander Long has returned to Kunming to preside over Yunnan's political affairs and prepare supplies for the front line. Therefore, Commander Bai is the temporary commander-in-chief, and Chief of Staff Luo has also gone to the independent brigade to visit and comfort the troops, so he is the only one left here.
"The troops have been replenished for you. Within one month, restore the combat capability for me. Is that ok?" Commander Bai asked after motioning the three to sit down.
"No problem. Those who survived this time are all top veterans. Plus, they are taken care of by the commanders and are troops directly assigned from the army. Within a month, the independent brigade will definitely recover its combat effectiveness."
The additional troops this time were directly drawn from the combat sequence of the Gui Army and the Central Army. They were all veterans who had fought on the battlefield. They were able to fight right away, not to mention that they were given a month to get used to the new skills.
"By the way, Delhi's Chief of Staff Smith is here, go meet him."
"Sir, why is he here?" Chao Xiang Xiuling, who was making tea, turned her head and asked.
Commander Bai chuckled. "Not long after you evacuated, a brigade of the 66th Division overtook the British 55st Division. Unarmed, they were easily overtaken by the 55th Division, which captured over 55 of them. The th Division even pursued them, capturing three counties to the northwest. Now, the th Division isn't far from the South Asian area. I imagine they're here to exact revenge."
"They have the nerve to come and demand our punishment," Asaka Hiderei choked. "If the British First Division hadn't been stationary on the right flank, we wouldn't have lost two-thirds of our men in such a fight."
this……
Commander Bai picked up the teacup and was embarrassed to comment, or rather, he was too embarrassed to comment. He had ordered the independent brigade to return a long time ago, but Zhou Weiguo said that he wanted to let them train there. To be honest, it was not the British army's fault in this matter.
But he couldn't admit it.
"You guys go meet him." Commander Bai waved his hand and sent them away. If he let these three continue talking, he might really think that the losses of the Independent Brigade this time were caused by the British army.
Smith came here yesterday, but he didn't see anyone.
Since his superiors were not around, he had no way to vent his anger even if he was angry. He couldn't get angry at the soldiers who were guarding him.
This is war time, and everyone has a common enemy. If he really angers these peasants, they will shoot him or drop a bomb on him, and then plant it on the Japanese army. He will have no place to cry.
Now, he could only wait here quietly. After all, some strangers had infiltrated the city. No one knew whether these people were from the Second Department or the Special High Technology Department.
However, if the Japanese army wants to sow discord between the Empire and Yamashiro, then I am now the best breakthrough point.
"Your Excellency the General, the commander of the Shancheng Independent Brigade, Zhou Weiguo, is here to express his condolences and visit." The adjutant came up to Smith and said.
"Finally they're here." Smith took a deep breath and stood up. "I'll ask them why they didn't send reinforcements to us, allowing the British First Division to suffer such heavy losses."
And he remembered that the person who guarded Tonggu was Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo, a lieutenant general, appeared in the living room. Smith exchanged pleasantries with him for a moment before getting straight to the point: "I think you owe us an explanation."
"Really?" Zhou Weiguo said with a smile after lighting a cigarette. "That's perfect. We also need you to give us a reasonable explanation."
what?
Smith looked at Zhou Weiguo in front of him in a daze. Did he hear it wrong? Zhou Weiguo actually needed the empire to give them an explanation. Shouldn't it be them who gave the empire an explanation?
"What do we need to explain to you?"
Now that things have come to this, Smith wants to know the reason. The victim seems to be his own empire, and he, Shancheng, actually has the nerve to come and ask for an explanation.
He wanted to see what Zhou Weiguo could say.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at Smith and said, "General, if you think about it, we are actually sending troops to assist you in resisting the Japanese attack. So, I would like to ask you a question."
