Chapter VII Expedition to Burma Section 5 Allies (4)

After entering the war, they were always busy. The soldiers and vehicles shuttled day and night on the Yunnan-Burma Road... The complexity of the war is still there, both the wounded and the soldiers who were killed have to be transported back to the country. As the gunfire outside Lashio City disappeared, all the local overseas Chinese and residents near the border were mobilized, and the bodies of 40,000 dead soldiers were transported back to the country. More than 30,000 wounded soldiers were left in Lashio, and some were sent back to the country. Major hospitals in western Yunnan and Kunming were filled with wounded soldiers.

After the 22nd Division was destroyed, Tanaka Shinichi slowed down his attack. Yu Chengwan defended the Moya Valley. When the 56th Division was completely wiped out, Tanaka Shinichi simply stopped the attack. Even if Yu Chengwan retreated to Mount Papani, Tanaka did not take another step forward, but instead adopted a defensive formation on the spot.

For a moment, the wind and furious in Myanmar were quiet. They could no longer see the smoke of gunfire or hear the sound of gunfire. However, the highest commands of both sides were racing against time to accumulate strength. Looking at the weak links of the other party, as long as they were negligent, they would immediately reveal their hidden fangs.

However, the offensive and defensive momentum has now reversed, and the squadron has taken over the battlefield. The Japanese army suffered heavy casualties in the early battles. In addition to the two divisions, the division was completely wiped out, and the rescue troops of Tanaka Shinichi also suffered heavy injuries. Four divisions had more than 80,000 people, with nearly half of the casualties, of which the 35th Division lost more than half and had lost combat power.

Let’s look at the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which annihilated the 56th Division and the 22nd Division, but the cost was not the same, the New Eighth Army, which had the largest casualties, also lost half of the losses, lost combat power, retreated to the south town to supplement the replenishment; the 58th Army suffered nearly 40% of the losses and remained in Lashio; the 103rd Army and the Kou Army had a slightly better situation, and the losses were more than 20%.

The expeditionary army was beneficial to the battlefield. A large number of wounded men were rescued, and due to the victory, the whole army was highly motivated. While waiting for the Japanese army to fail, the entire army moved forward and faced the Japanese army with a challenging attitude. The 66th Army on the eastern front also fought against the victory. Iida Yoshiro pulled the 33rd Division from the Tanaka troops to move eastward to resist the counterattack of the 66th Army. Myanmar in spring was full of not the fragrance of flowers but rain, and the sky seemed to be poked a hole by a cannonball. It kept going down, and the road was soaked in rain, and then crushed by armored vehicles and trucks, it became muddy. Jeeps sped past, and the mud and water splashed, attracting a scolding from the soldiers on both sides.

Zhuang Jihua, who was in the car, seemed not to listen to the curse from the wind and rain. His eyes were filled with worry. Wu Ziniu, who was sitting in front, was also silent, with fierce light on his eyes, staring at him fiercely.

noodle.

When the car arrived at the battlefield hospital, Zhuang Jihua jumped out of the car before he could stop and stepped into the hospital in a few steps. Wu Ziniu's movements were also fast.

"Zhao Hanjie! Zhao Hanjie!" Wu Ziniu's loud voice alarmed the entire hospital. Zhao Hanjie ran out of the ward. Wu Ziniu rushed up and grabbed his chest.

"Where is Yun Fei? How did he get injured?"

"Wu Ziniu, let go!" Zhuang Jihua's stern voice came from behind. Wu Ziniu stopped and slowly let go of his hand. Zhao Hanjie's expression was a little hurt, but he was not nervous. Looking at Zhuang Jihua and Wu Ziniu, he opened his mouth but said nothing.

Zhuang Jihua walked into the house. When the two soldiers in the house saw Zhuang Jihua coming in, they immediately stood up and saluted. Just as they were about to speak, Zhuang Jihua waved his hand and asked them to shut up.

Song Yunfei lay on the hospital bed, his eyes closed, and plasma was hanging on the stent next to him. Zhuang Jihua looked silently for a while before turning around and going out. Wu Ziniu and Zhao Hanjie followed behind him and went out.

"Commander". Zhao Hanjie said in pain: "Captain Song was injured on the way back. When we met the Japanese army, the vanguard did not notice it. This Japanese army was very cunning and good at jungle warfare. We sacrificed Sanjie and brothers to kill them all."

Song Yunfei and Zhao Hanjie were moving behind enemy lines. After annihilated the 22nd Division, Zhuang Jihua ordered them to retreat and repair, but unexpectedly, Song Yunfei was carried back. In order to save him, the soldiers of the special forces rushed to the hospital for two days and two nights. When they arrived at Lashi, they were sent directly to the hospital. Zhao Hanjie forced the doctor to perform surgery on him with a gun. The captain of the hospital guard team reported to the headquarters. Zhuang Jihua then realized that, and then he was deposed and rushed to the hospital.

"This is a teaching." Zhuang Jihua didn't blame anyone. But his heart hurt. Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu were not just his subordinates, but brothers. As soon as Song Yunfei was injured, he left everything behind and ran to the hospital.

"The commander who received the news came over hurriedly, and Zhuang Jihua went straight to the point without talking nonsense: "How is Colonel Song's injury? Who is his attending doctor? Is it dangerous?"

The dean showed a middle-aged man behind him sideways. The middle-aged man looked very capable and had a bright look. The dean introduced: "This is Dr. Zhu Jun, who is the attending doctor of Colonel Song, and Dr. Zhu is the doctor with the most skilled medical skills in our hospital."

Zhuang Jihua turned to Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun stepped forward and said, "Col. Song's situation is not very stable. His dangerous period has not passed yet. Fortunately, he sent it in time. Moreover, the treatment after the injury was properly handled, which did not cause the injury to worsen. If the injury does not worsen, infection, or fever within 24 hours, the situation will improve."

Zhu Jun and the president clearly felt that Zhuang Jihua let go of a dagger, and then Zhuang Jihua sincerely held Zhu Jun's hand: "From Nanjing to Myanmar, Mishang seems to lead the team to attack the enemy's back several times, and take risks for the sake of the country's birth and death. Please worry more."

"Please rest assured, commander, I will do my best. Colonel Song has good physical fitness. I believe he will survive Zhu Jun's words. When the special soldier's gun was pressed against his head, he was very angry, but after seeing Song Yunfei's injury, he immediately went to rescue. Now Zhuang Jihua's personal request made him realize that the wounded were extraordinary.

Gong Xiuhua went to the ward at some point. At this time, he came out of the ward, his eyes were a little red, and then stood silently behind Wu Ziniu. Shi Shaoxian came in from the outside and whispered in Zhuang Jihua's ear: "Stilwell and General Alexander have arrived. Deputy Commander Yu invites you to go back."

"Let them wait for Zhuang Jihua a little impatiently, with a hint of anger on their faces. The reply was not polite, Gong Xiuhua pulled Shi Shaoxian aside.

Zhuang Jihua asked the dean again about the hospital's medicines and doctors. The dean said that the medicines were sufficient, but not enough, the troops had frequent discomforts recently. In addition, the rainy season in Myanmar can easily lead to dysentery epidemics. They reported to the headquarters, hoping that the troops could take precautions.

"I have read the report and have been sent to various troops. However, I hope you can propose some measures to know that most of our soldiers have low education and they don't know how to prevent dysentery at all.

The dean nodded: "The commander reminded me correctly. Let's do it immediately and make a manual to tell everyone how to prevent and treat it.

Zhuang Jihua nodded, then entered the ward again, sat beside Song Yunfei's bed, and looked at him silently. His face was now unshaven, his eye sockets were deep and his blood-colored. Zhuang Jihua gently stroked his hand, but his palms were still relatively warm.

From the age of 10 to the present, for more than ten years, except for those years overseas, they have been following him, no matter how dangerous the situation is, they have all come over together. Now he is lying quietly here.

"Good brother, hurry up and get better. The Japanese have not been driven away by us. Now it's not time to lie down. Zhuang Jihua said silently in his heart. Wu Ziniu didn't know what to do. His eyes were filled with anxiety and helplessness.

More than ten minutes later, Zhuang Jihua walked out of the ward and called Zhao Hanjie to his side: "How is the situation in the army?"

"The casualties are not very big," said Zhao Hanjie: "But the troops are very tired, and weapons and ammunition should be replenished as soon as possible."

Zhuang Jihua nodded, he waved to Gong Xiuhua and called him to her, and said to her, "You just stay in the hospital and wait until Yun Fei's injury stabilizes.

"Gong Xiuhua thought for a while and agreed. Zhuang Jihua said to Zhao Hanjie again: "You must return to the army as soon as possible. Yun Fei is not here. You must control the emotions of the army. In addition, you must start immediately with the replenishment of the army. Here, two people can be left. When the commander of the Secretary Guigong said this, his tone suddenly became very serious: "In addition, the news of Yun Fei's injury is not allowed to be spread to Chongqing. Do you understand?"

"I understand that Zhao Hanjie didn't say much, his tone was a little low. Zhuang Jihua frowned and couldn't help criticizing: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Hanjie". Zhao Hanjie was stunned. Seeing Zhuang Jihua's serious face, he heard Zhuang Jihua's stern voice: "Cake up, the war is not over yet. How can you take your soldiers like this?"

"Yes, I understand that Zhao Hanjie replied with a loud voice.

Zhuang Jihua nodded then, and he turned around and held Zhu Jun's hand tightly: "Please."

Zhu Jun nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured by the commander."

When he arrived by the car, Shi Shaoxian rushed to the phone and said something impatiently. Seeing Zhuang Jihua coming, Shi Shaoxian rushed to the microphone and said, "The commander is here, Chief of Staff. Tell him directly."

Zhuang Jihua took the microphone and asked, "Chief Staff Xiao, is there anything urgent?"

Xiao Yisu's voice came from the microphone: "Commander, Director Lin Wei, please come to the headquarters as soon as possible." Zhuang Jihua sighed softly. Lin Wei was his immediate superior, and the Expeditionary Force was commanded by the Kunming camp. However, Lin Wei was very smart. He basically did not interfere with any specific command of the Expeditionary Force, and only cared for logistics supplies. This time he came to Lashio to work on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek.

"What's wrong?" Zhuang Jihua knew that something must have happened to Lin Wei's actions.

"Shi Mawei and Alexander brought a combat plan, and Director Lin seemed to be inclined to agree with this plan." Xiao Yisu's voice suddenly lowered a few degrees.

"Are they still finished? Haven't they told them? It's not the time yet." Zhuang Jihua is in a bad mood now and his tone is very rough.

"Commander, you will know when you come back." Xiao Yisu's tone showed helplessness.

Zhuang Jihua threw away the microphone, turned around and boarded his jeep, then stretched out his head and said to the dean and Zhu Jun: "Please, please."

The dean stepped forward: "Don't worry, commander."

It's late tonight, please forgive me.
