Chapter 807 The Expeditionary Force Wants an Explanation
The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force looked at McDu. He wanted to ask for an explanation from the person in charge representing Gannan.
It is understandable that the people in their expeditionary force had been fighting abroad and did not know that Baoshan area had fallen.
It would be a lie for McDull to say he didn't know about this!
Commander-in-Chief: "Commander Song from Gannan, do you really not know that Baoshan has fallen?"
McDu: "Of course our Commander Song knows. Not only does he know, he also specially praised you and the expeditionary force."
Commander Du: "What can he praise me for? He praised me for being so stupid that I tried to get into the Japanese encirclement."
McDu: "You two really are soulmates. Hey, please stop glaring at me.
He said that you and the expeditionary force are very brave, and he respects the decision made by you and the soldiers of the expeditionary force.
Commander Song just didn't expect that you would be so strong-willed.
In the end, he chose to return to his motherland by killing his way through the Japanese defense lines.
But I think Commander Song really doesn’t know that you don’t know the news of Baoshan’s fall.”
Commander Du: Do you think I’m that great?
McDew: What else can I say if I don’t praise you to bits today?
After being praised by McDu, Officer Du's expression has improved a lot.
But he still said: "You said it lightly, there are nearly 70,000 Japanese devils stationed along this line.
How can our expeditionary force of more than 40,000 defeated soldiers break through the Japanese defense line? "
McDu said casually: "How difficult is this? It can be done with hands."
After saying this, McDu covered his mouth.
He thought to himself: Oh no, oh no, I didn’t pay attention and said something wrong.
Commander Du and Fang Xia were both in a trance. They both stared at McDu with incredible eyes.
Fang Xia: "Commander Mike, I didn't expect your Chinese to be so good, and you even have a Gansu accent."
After hearing this, Commander Du said angrily, "What do you mean by having hands is enough? Who are you trying to be, McDu?"
McDew: Is this the difference between men and women?
How come their two focuses are so different?
“General Du, if you don’t believe me, I will bring the special forces team tonight.
I will show you a unique skill of beating the devils with your hands."
McDu was not bragging when he broke through the defensive position of a large group of Japanese soldiers.
He hid five aerial three-wheeled vehicles in a valley.
The turbulent Nujiang River and the cable-stayed bridge equipped with explosives could not stop him from forging ahead courageously.
It doesn’t matter if the cable bridge is bombed, he has three-wheeled vehicles and drones.
It only took half a day to rebuild a few cable bridges for the large troops to return home.
The one thousand Japanese soldiers guarding the cable bridge will face a double attack from McDu from the air and the ground.
McDu didn't dare to say that he could wipe out all the 1,000 Japanese troops.
But he can still break through or defeat them.
Just when one wanted to see the other's fighting power, and the other wanted to show off his fighting power.
A woman spoke weakly in this powerful aura.
Fang Jing: "Generals, there is no need to argue. We don't have to cross the river from Baoshan.
As long as we go west along the south bank of the Nujiang River, there is a place called Ruili five hundred miles away.
Our national army is stationed there. It is the territory of the 73rd Army Group. We will be safe there."
McDu: "Do we have to walk 500 miles along the mountain road?
That’s nearly ten days’ journey, and it’s nowhere near as exciting as going all the way from Baoshan.”
Commander Du doesn't want to fight anymore. He doesn't have that much appetite right now.
Although Song Wenwan provided support for them along the way, they still consumed too much physical energy.
Their vanguard has already left the Savage Mountain, but the troops behind them, responsible for covering the entire army, are still at least two days away from here.
Even if they broke through the Japanese positions at the Baoshan Cable Bridge, it would be useless.
Because even if the people in front returned home safely, the troops behind would still be in danger of being blocked by the Japanese.
McDu also saw Commander Du's dilemma and thought of a way to have the best of both worlds.
"Commander Du, I have an idea. How about you give it to the staff?
Let's split our forces into two groups. You lend me one regiment, and I will lead you across the river tonight to seize the cable bridge.
Then tomorrow morning we will start building bridges on a large scale to create the illusion that we are attacking Baoshan County from above and returning to the motherland from there.
This will attract the attention of Japanese troops in other places and create conditions for the large troops to return home.
You and your brothers who are leading the expedition out of the mountains should rest here first and wait for the troops to arrive.
Then they returned to China in batches from the south bank of the Nujiang River, heading west from Ruili.”
Commander Du grabbed McDu's hand and said excitedly: "General Du, my brother Du.
I didn't expect that everyone from your Gannan coalition is so righteous.
Although it is said that gratitude is inexpressible, I still want to thank you on behalf of the 40,000 brothers of the Chinese Expeditionary Force! "
Finally, they decided that the expeditionary force, under the leadership of Commander Du, would first make some rest and create the illusion that they were preparing to return home.
A day later, they will follow the terrain of Savage Mountain and head west.
After walking another 200 kilometers, we returned to China from Ruili.
That night, the Japanese on the other side of the Nujiang River turned on all their searchlights.
The area within two kilometers of the cable bridge was illuminated as bright as day.
Even if a mosquito flew over from the other side of the river, the Japanese could see it clearly.
At ten o'clock in the evening, Commander Du was worried and decided to come over to take a look.
If things are impossible, I will think about persuading McDu not to take the risk of attacking.
"I didn't expect that Military Doctor Qian was here too. Why didn't I see General McDu?
Hey, where are your special forces of more than a hundred people?
And where is the regiment I supported for you? Why is it gone?
There is only one company left here, right? I don't think it's enough to guard your temporary headquarters."
Commander-in-Chief Du pointed to the trench ahead. On the edge of the trench, there were many expeditionary army caps placed there.
But looking at the number of people in the trenches, wow, a hundred or so people really seem pitifully small.
The Japanese soldiers on the other side of the Nujiang River were very arrogant and did not cross the river to attack.
They were just shooting at the military caps on the edge of the trench over here.
The Japanese also knew that these military caps were a trick used by the expeditionary force to confuse the enemy.
They didn't care and instead let the recruits practice shooting with the expeditionary force's caps.
Every time a hat was knocked away, the Japanese soldiers on the other side of the river would start howling like ghosts and wolves, as if they were celebrating something.
The medic glanced at the trench ahead and gave orders over the phone in his hand.
"Don't stop at one place, and tell them to be careful not to be targeted by the Japanese.
Pick up all the hats that were blown away and hang them up on branches.
Tell them that the lives of their comrades who have crossed the river are in their hands.
If you don't want them to be killed by the Japanese, please work harder for me."
At this moment, a soldier suddenly stood up in the trench and fired a shot at the opposite side.
Officer Du didn't bother to ask the doctor any more questions and quickly checked through the telescope in his hand.
It turned out that the expeditionary soldier was hitting the Japanese soldier on the opposite side, who was wearing a combat cap propped up with a tree branch.
The shot hit the edge of the military cap, about a foot away, splashing up a few grains of dirt.
