Early the next morning, Wu Ming led the ranger to set off. After careful discussion, he decided to go up the river first so that he would not suffer the hardship of thorns and avoid the Japanese army on the road. At night, everyone could find a sand and gravel beach to camp. According to Huang Zongwu's experience and calculations, this unmarked river on the map will be divided into several streams after reaching the Dagon near Shan State. As for where these several streams flow, I don't know. However, Wu Ming was already very satisfied with the ability to walk such a long journey lightly.

Before setting off, all the team members took off their hats and bid farewell to the tomb of the sacrificed team members. The team members were able to calm down their mood and no longer had the sad primitive impulse of losing their comrades.

Because of the river water, this time I turned around was like a pleasant trip. If the stream bank could not pass, the rangers would wade through the water on pebbles. The gurgling water and cheerful waves made them forget the heat of the sun, and the sun seemed to feel thirsty, shining and playing in the waves through the green shade of the stream.

The river hidden in the dense forest allows the team members to enjoy the tranquility, fragrance and coolness. The birds chirp in the forest. The joy after comfort and fatigue makes everyone feel good.

There was almost no people on the way to move forward. Wu Ming ordered the team members not to use guns without authorization, set traps along the way, and hunt with homemade bows and arrows to make up for the shortage of food. Learning in practice and making progress in practice. Wu Ming especially hopes that through this transfer, everyone in the ranger can be turned into a real jungle pass.

"If you want to talk about the real jungle, you must also be the savages living deep in the jungle." Huang Zongwu talked to Wu Ming about some things while walking. "These savages, whether they are naked, and their lower bodies are covered in animal skins or linens. Their local leaders are generally called mountain officials."

"There are savages in the mountains?" Wu Ming felt very fresh about this, "Do they eat human flesh?"

Huang Zongwu smiled, "They don't eat human flesh, but they like to chop people's heads, and they hate the British in particular."

"The British are not a good thing." Wu Mingshen said in agreement: "selfish and treacherous."

"That's not the reason." Huang Zongwu shook his head and explained: "Myanmar is rich in jade and Pei Cui. Before the British came, many mines belonged to the locals. After the British came, they forcibly seized these wealth with guns and cannons, killing many people, and the rest were driven into the deep mountains and forests."

"What do you mean is that these savages were not savages, but later they became savages?" Wu Ming asked strangely.

"It's almost the same!" Huang Zongwu nodded, "But even if they don't run into the jungle, their level of civilization is not high."

"What else is there to be interesting?" Wu Ming asked casually.

"There is a nation called man, a group of savages. When guests come to their homes, they must accompany their wives and daughters. They are called guests, and they will stop for three guests. After three guests, if the guest still stays in their house, when the guest is asleep, the host will sneak into the house and take away the guest's clothes. If the guest is still greedy for beauty and still has no intention of leaving, the host will kill him to sacrifice to ghosts; but if the guest refuses his wives and daughters to accompany them, he will be regarded as looking down on the master, which will also bring about a disaster of killing." Huang Zongwu continued.

"This is a very strange custom." Wu Ming said with a funny look: "Lao Huang, have you ever been to Rendi Course?"

"No." Huang Zongwu hurriedly denied, "I have heard from the older generation, but I have never met him."

"Just kidding, I really want to be a guest." Wu Ming saw Huang Zongwu embarrassed and patted his shoulder gently, "It's so good that I won't sleep if I don't sleep!"

"Don't just think about good things." Huang Zongwu smiled bitterly and shook his head. "The wild people believe in ghosts and gods. If something bad happens before and after your arrival, they will think it was brought by you, but they will not treat you as a guest. Moreover, there are many taboos in the wild people's villages. All urine, wash water, and mouthwash should not be splashed randomly. They all have directions. Even the guests bring a ground knife, but they should not hang it randomly on the wall. Instead, the blade must be outward. If the blade is inward, it will be regarded as an assassin. Therefore, it is better not to deal with it, so as not to be confused and regarded as an enemy by them."

"I'm just talking." Wu Ming smiled and comforted: "It's important for us to hurry up, so there's no time to play with the savages."

"But be careful, too." Huang Zongwu warned solemnly: "I haven't walked this road before, who knows if I will bump into the savage."

"By the way, I forgot to ask you." Wu Ming suddenly remembered something and asked curiously: "These savages have low productivity and cannot know science and technology at all, but how did they find so many mines? What method did they use?"

"I don't know this." Huang Zongwu shook his head, "Maybe they have their own unique method, maybe they dug it out randomly."

Wu Ming smiled self-deprecatingly, now he is turning in. To put it bluntly, it is okay to call it escaping, but he is still thinking about making money, which is a bit too much.

After the Battle of Tonggu, Liao Yaoxiang led more than 9,000 new 22nd Division of his troops to adopt the tactic of segmented resistance. In the area between Yedexi and Pingman Na, tens of thousands of Japanese divisions lasted for 18 days, delaying the enemy's attack, and at the cost of more than 500 casualties, he achieved more than 5,000 enemy results, and seized a large number of weapons, horses, vehicles and ammunition, resulting in a successful sequential resistance with few defeats and weak enemies with strong ones.

Before Tonggu retreated, the Chinese Expeditionary Force decided to implement the Pingman-Na Battle. In the 200th, the 96th Division was concentrated near Pingman-Na and actively prepared for the battle. At that time, the 66th Army had entered Myanmar, the 38th Division was guarding Mandalay, and the New 28th Division gathered in Meimiao, and was stopped by the New 22nd Division near Swa.

At this time, if the 5th and 66th armies could be concentrated in time to fight the enemy 18 in Pingmanna, and the hope of winning was very high. However, after abandoning Alanmu, the British army gave up Saswa, Dongdun Branch, and Xinbang Guard, which threatened the 5th right side of the Pingmanna area.

A few days later, the British army gave up the air base Magui and the strategic location of Xindian. The commander of the 1st British-Myanmar Army Slim ordered the blowout of the Ren'anqiang oil field. Ren'anqiang is the largest oil field in Myanmar, with an annual output of more than one million tons of oil. The Japanese invaders had long been coveting it, trying to seize this extremely important battle target as soon as possible and plunder its abundant oil for urgent needs for the war of aggression. At that time, Lieutenant General Sakurai, the commander of the 33rd Division of the Japanese army, learned that the Ren'anqiang oil field had been blown up by the British army. Looking at the fires in the sky and the sound of the sound, he couldn't help but be furious and led his troops to rush to Ren'anqiang overnight and surrounded the 1st British-Myanmar Division and the 7th. The Chinese were shocked. Alexander, Wavere in New Delhi and Churchill in London were both shocked and anxious when he heard the news, and they all asked for help from China. This time, he shot himself in the foot.

Under the strict orders of the British and Stilwell, the Kuomintang army had to give up the Battle of Pingmanna and sent the New 38th Division to Ren'anqiang to rescue the trapped British army. Sun Liren led his troops to defeat the 33rd Japanese division besieged Ren'anqiang. He fought fiercely for a day and night, annihilated more than 2,000 enemies. The enemy abandoned more than 1,200 corpses and rescued more than 7,000 British and American military personnel, more than 500 other British and American military personnel, more than 1,000 horses and more than 300 cars, known as the "Ren'anqiang Victory".

Marshal Slim, who was promoted to Chief of Staff of the British Empire and Governor of Australia, was promoted to Chief of Staff of the British Empire and Governor of Australia, personally expressed his gratitude to Commander Sun Liren and Commander Liu Fangwu. In his book "Reversal of Defeat": "Chinese soldiers are outstanding warriors. In the battle of Ren'an-Kang, Myanmar, they not only defeated strong enemies with ten times their troops, but also rescued the British army on the verge of despair, but also created a battle with few defeats the strong, defeating the strong with few, and attacking the masses with few.

The miracle of winning is an immortal example. In that battle, General Sun Liren and Commander Liu Fangwu both showed the fine traditions and qualities of Chinese soldiers. They were brave and calm, with extraordinary wisdom and courage, calm in encountering things, decisive in dealing with things, flexible in tactics, and clever commands. They were all the best commanders. Especially General Sun Liren is brave and good at fighting and willing to help others. The Virginia Military Academy should be proud of having General Sun Liren. They are the best commanders in any country."

Empty words are empty words, which sounds comfortable, but they do not work at all in the battle. After the British army was rescued, they ran away and retreated sharply to India. The new 38th Division turned into the British army and Stilwell. Luo Zhuoying, under the temptation of Alexander, had given up the Battle of Pingmanna and transferred the army to Taze and Mintela to organize the Battle of Mandalay. In this way, the new 38th Division was trapped behind the enemy, and the results of the great victory of Ren'anqiang disappeared instantly.

During the process of moving forward, Wu Ming always maintained contact with Kunming's radio stations, paying attention to the development of the Myanmar war and the actions of the expeditionary forces. When declassified telegrams were handed to him, he couldn't help but worry more and more about the results of the expedition to Myanmar and the fate of the 100,000 expedition forces.

"Although I am not good at planning such a large-scale battle, I also feel that the expeditionary army's plans seem to have changed too frequently." Wu Ming gently stroked the map with a pen and told the squad leader beside him: "The orders are changed every day, and because of the British's wrong command, we have committed a military taboo. The tactics of adding fuel to the Japanese army cannot pose a threat."

"We should have left the British and independently arranged the battle." Fu Lijun frowned and said, "The British are unreliable and they still need to rely on their cooperation. How can we not fall into a passive responsive again and again?"
