Soon, all sorts of rhetoric spread among the British army.
Most of them said that we couldn't beat the Japanese, so why didn't we withdraw because we were going to die?
But there is also a squad that is plotting how to break the internal defenses.
More and more rhetoric reached the ears of the British military's top brass, which made them very worried.
Judging from the previous performance, they couldn't beat the Japanese, and moreover, it was a heavy defeat And now, their allies, the only hope that they can beat the Japanese, have also been wiped out by their own hands.
"Your Excellency the General can't wait any longer" "Yes, Your Excellency General, we have to preserve our strength, the Japanese are too sharp now" The more Alexander listened, the more annoyed he became, "Bastards, keep watch, I'll have another meeting with the allies" "Yes" Several officers heard the loosening in Alexander's words, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, to tell the truth, the situation in Burma has reached such a point, and they are really helpless.
On April 25, Stilwell, Alexander, Luo Zhuoying, and Du Yuming sat together again and held a joint meeting for the last time, and this time, China, Britain, and the United States finally reached a rare agreement to retreat.
The loss of Lashio, the loss of Pingmanna, everything made the three parties helpless.
In fact, if you really prepare for the Battle of Mandalay, there is still hope, but China and Britain have already separated from Germany, and the expeditionary force has suffered serious losses, so they do not want to participate in this war.
In addition, the morale of the British army has been lost, and it is impossible to believe it.
"Mutaguchi-kun, what do you think, what kind of reaction will the British have" Masao Watanabe valued Mutaguchi Ryoya and smiled, they have surrounded Mandalay for more than 20 days, to be honest, they also think that it is a miracle that the British can hold on for so many days without being frightened.
"Anyway, on the 29th, we're going to really attack."
Mutaguchi replied with a smile, "You know, that day was a special day. ” "That's right, we will end the war in Burma and celebrate His Majesty the Emperor's birthday."
On the 26th, Alexander returned to Mandalay and began preparations for the retreat.
On the 28th, the withdrawal of British troops from Mandalay began.
The Ayeyarwady River flows west of Mandalay and is crossed by the Awa Bridge, a 16-span railway-road bridge.
It was the only point of passage for British troops to retreat west from Mandalay, as it was the only bridge that could carry tanks, baggage, and large numbers of troops across the river.
Two months ago, the British army installed explosives on this bridge for emergencies.
On the night of April 30, the bridge was blown up after the last scattered refugees and British troops crossed the bridge.
"With a loud bang, the bridge was blown up at 23:50 on April 30, and the middle section of the bridge fell into the river in its entirety, which is both a sad scene and a signal that we have lost Myanmar."
Alexander looked at the Ava Bridge behind him and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
He came to Myanmar with confidence, but he didn't expect to usher in a similar ending.
But no matter what, their strength can be regarded as preserved.
Moreover, they retreated after the Japanese army besieged it for more than 20 days.
Externally, how can it sound better.
The expeditionary force, on the other hand, continued to stand quietly on the border.
This expedition, just like that, came to an end.
Tens of thousands of soldiers died heroically At the same time, the British army became not very tall in the eyes of China.
May 1, Kunming Wujiaba Airport.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the fighters that kept stopping, breathed a sigh of relief, and finally, he was going back.
For the last month, Zhou Weiguo didn't know why the Japanese didn't attack until he read a newspaper saying that the commanders of several divisions of the Japanese army had given Mandalay as a birthday gift to Emperor Showa.
Sighing slightly, this battle should not have been fought like this.
Originally, he had changed history and sent the Fifth Army to Rangoon before the fall of Rangoon, but what he didn't expect was that the British army was tricked and sent out the originally strong Rangoon.
In the same ancient war, tens of thousands of soldiers of the expeditionary force were bloody, and they also left the lives of many devils.
But no matter how many devils are left, they won't be able to go home.
Then to the loss of Pingmanna and the loss of Lashio, the general trend of Myanmar has become irreversible.
The experience of more than 3 months always makes Zhou Weiguo feel like he is in a dream.
"Division" Qiu Ao got off the plane and saluted Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo returned the salute, "Rest." ” "It's okay, I'm not tired."
Qiu Ao smiled, looked at Zhu Ziming, and then gave Zhu Ziming a hug, he heard about the second flight group.
The relationship between several people has long been very iron, so everything is silent.
A group of planes also stopped, including 2 transport planes.
From Shandong to Kunming, how to say, you still have to replenish fuel once to continue flying.
To Zhou Weiguo's surprise, the major he had seen in the restaurant before was actually ordered to go back to Shandong with him, and the purpose was to be counted as a liaison officer between the Central Committee of the National Army and the Independent Division.
Zhou Weiguo didn't refuse, he really wanted to see what kind of tricks this young man was playing.

The young man's name is Zhou Jianshi, and he is said to be from Zhejiang.
But Zhou Weiguo didn't believe it much, although this person's accent was also very similar.
Then, Zhou Weiguo looked at the ground staff in the airport and began to refuel the plane, and the engineers began to check the status of the plane.
In short, everything is busy and orderly.
At 1 p.m., several planes took off from Wujiaba and no one saw them off.
Sitting in his seat, Zhou Weiguo closed his eyes.
When Zhou saw it, he sat in a position behind Zhou Weiguo, and there were different emotions in his eyes.
Although Zhou Weiguo closed his eyes and recuperated, he had always been wary of this guy behind him, including that he had also gestured to Gu Feiyan and Liu San, asking them to check whether they had their hands and feet on the plane.
"This brother, how do you look at you, so raw" Yang Yang opened his mouth, looked at Zhou Jian, and asked with a smile.
Zhou Weiguo listened and hooked the corners of his mouth.
When Yang Yang came back, Zhou Weiguo almost didn't recognize it, it was too dark, ultraviolet, it was really terrible, shook his head, and listened to the movement behind.
"Oh, hello, my name is Zhou Jianshi, and I am the liaison officer of the party-state in the independent division."
Zhou saw that he hurriedly greeted him, looking shy.
"Hello, my name is Yang Yang" Yang Yang smiled, "Sit in a little bit" "Okay" Zhou saw his eyes wide, not knowing what Yang Yang was going to do, but Yang Yang's request, he did not refuse.
He knew that every soldier of the special combat team of the independent division had a high rank.
Especially the veterans.
After speaking, Zhou saw that he moved his position inside.
I heard Yang Yang say, "Brother, tell me, the people above, what are your ideas?"
"Ah" Zhou opened his mouth wide when he saw it, looking at a loss
