Hu Bin and Commander Xu started talking in the afternoon until after 2 o'clock in the evening. The two of them held the map of India and were discussing a series of strategies the Expeditionary Force would adopt against India at that time.

The next day, Hu Bin sent Commander Xu to Myanmar in the small yard. Now he wants to hide his identity, he is a patient.

After seeing off Commander Xu, Hu Bin worked in the small yard. One was considering the affairs of the arsenal, and the other was penicillin.

Now that we have obtained information about penicillin here, we are doing experiments, Hu Bin also sent a telegram and sent everything he knew, asking them to get the finished medicine as soon as possible.

The rest is the matter here in Hubei. Hu Bin is still the commander here, but he still has to accept the management of Commander Chen and Commander Peng. However, no matter what, Commander Chen and Commander Peng passed the decision here, and asked Hu Bin to do it.

About 10 days later, the new troops entered Myanmar.

20 days later, the first batch of troops to return from the Expeditionary Force began to set off, and Xiang Feng and Li Qinwei's troops were all going back.

At this time, the commander-in-chief represented Yan'an, and Li Zongren from Chongqing, went to Yunnan to welcome the soldiers back triumphantly. On that day, tens of thousands of people came to a small town on the border of Yunnan, with people on the border.

There are also people who welcome the soldiers of the expeditionary force back to China, and there are also a large number of journalists, especially those from the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as journalists from the Americas and Europe. Although most of the European countries are now occupied by Germany, there are still many journalists from the media in China. Now that they see the Chinese expeditionary force back, they will come to report it no matter which camp they belong to. |

"Here, come!" Many people on the border saw the convoy driving from afar and immediately shouted.

In front of me were three tanks, and then there were trucks. There were more than 300 trucks. After the trucks were approaching, all the people and reporters were shocked. The vehicles were written in red cloth on both sides, and the list began with the list of the soldiers on the car.

There were no soldiers on the car, just small jar-shaped objects wrapped in national flags fixed by wooden frames. The people knew that they were the ashes of the soldiers who died. On the border line, a large wooden arch was placed on the road. On the border line, a large number of soldiers were guarding the road with guns. When the officers and soldiers saw the vehicles coming, they were staring at the vehicles tightly.

"Salute!" a officer leading the team shouted loudly,

"Brush!" The soldiers of the country immediately raised their guns and watched the vehicles pass by.

"salute!"

"salute!"

Where the vehicles passed, the officers shouted loudly, and then the officers raised their right hand, while the soldiers stood attentively and held their guns in front of them. At this time, behind the soldiers standing guard, a large number of people bent down and bowed to the soldiers who had sacrificed.

"Light firecrackers, welcome the heroic spirits of the Expeditionary Army to return home!" Major General Jun, standing in the distance, shouted loudly.

"Crack, crackle!" Immediately, the firecrackers that had been placed along the road were lit immediately,

The vehicles carrying martyrs' urns, brought by the three tanks in front, were standing on the road trapped by the crowd, and the three armored soldiers and heavy machine gunners in front stood on the top and kept saluting.

When the vehicle drove about 300 meters ahead, there was a large open space, and the commander-in-chief and Li Zongren stood there waiting. Seeing the vehicles coming, the commander-in-chief and Li Zongren raised their hands, and the generals behind them also raised their hands to salute the martyrs!

The vehicles soon drove to the open space, and then parked neatly, followed by the infantry troops of the Expeditionary Force. They all came back on foot because the vehicles were left on the expeditionary force and they needed them, so the soldiers who returned to China this time were all walking.

"Ah!~"

"Welcome back to China!"

"Welcome, welcome!" The reporters on both sides of the road shouted loudly after seeing the soldiers walking back.

Especially when the first passing unit was fighting the 99th Division of the 99th Army of the 99th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the people and Chinese journalists who came to welcome them all applauded.

They knew that the 99th Division was brought out by Hu Bin.

After the infantry troops returned, they stood on the open space. Li Zongren delivered a speech on behalf of Chongqing to welcome the Expeditionary Force back to China. Then the Commander-in-Chief represented Yan'an to welcome the Expeditionary Force's soldiers home, affirming the achievements of this Expeditionary Force and the hard work of the Expeditionary Force.

After the media reports on this day were released, it caused a huge response from China. When they saw the above figures, they were very shocked. The first and second batches of soldiers went abroad to fight were 372,871 people, of which 71,234 were sacrificed, 47,818 were seriously injured and disabled, and 821,942 enemies were killed, including 389,121 people killed and 432,821 were captured.

This was a very remarkable victory, but the great sacrifices made by China's Northern Expeditionary Forces were also made. Many people saw it and understood and supported China's anti-Japanese war soldiers more.

When Hu Bin saw this report in Wuhan, it was already afternoon. Hu Bin took the report and sat by the stove. He had been sitting there for several hours without moving, and there were cigarette butts on the ground.

"Commander, Deputy Commander: Xiaobin lives here!" Li Tianxing and Ning Ze were accompanying the Commander into the yard. The Commander was coming to welcome the martyrs back to the country. Now the ashes of the martyrs are transported to Hubei by plane from the airport in Yunnan.

The commander and the deputy commander both came to welcome the martyrs to return to their hometowns, because more than 80% of the soldiers who died were from Hubei, were all soldiers recruited by Hu Bin here. They followed Hu Bin to fight on the front line. Hu Bin took them out, but there was no way to bring them all back alive.

"Commander, Deputy Commander, you are here!" Zhang Fan and Mo She saw the Commander and Deputy Commander coming, and stood at the door to greet him.

"Where is Xiaobin?" the commander asked.

"Inside, holding the newspaper, I have been sitting there for several hours without moving! I won't let us go over and disturb you!" Mo Za said with red eyes, and Zhang Fan turned his head away.

"Go in and take a look." The commander nodded and said, Zhang Fan and Mo She also opened the door. Then the commander, deputy commander, Li Tianxing, Ning Ze, and Zhenguo who followed him all entered the house where Hu Bin was sitting. The commander walked inside and saw that Hu Bin was still holding the newspaper in one hand, lowering his head, and holding a cigarette in the other hand.

"Xiaobin!" The commander shouted when he saw him like this.

When Hu Bin heard this, he raised his head and saw that it was the commander and the others coming. Hu Bin stood up: "Commander, Deputy Commander, why are you here?"

"Oh, sit down, come on, let's all sit down." The commander sighed and walked to the stove where Hu Bin was burning. The commander sat down next to Hu Bin.

"Sit down!" After the commander sat down, he saw Hu Bin standing there in a daze. Hu Bin nodded and sat down.

"Commander, I didn't expect that after several battles, there were so many sacrifices, so many injured and disabled. Most of them were soldiers I recruited from Hubei. When the parents of the children handed them to me, I said, I would definitely bring them back, but, but, but, wuwuwu!~" After Hu Bin sat down, he covered his face with his hands and started crying.

Zhenguo, who was sitting opposite Hu Bin, was shocked to see Hu Bin like this at this time. He had never seen Hu Bin cry.

In his consciousness, Hu Bin was an anti-Japanese hero, a commander who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, a person who was not afraid of death, or even bleeding, how could he cry? When the commander saw Hu Bin crying with his face covering his face, the commander also hugged Hu Bin and let Hu Bin lean in his arms.

"Woo wow~" Hu Bin lay in the commander's arms and cried bitterly. The commander patted his shoulder, and the tears in his eyes were also spinning.

He could understand Hu Bin that in order to win, he often had no choice but to sacrifice how much he had sacrificed, but every time he finished fighting and saw the numbers of casualties, no general could control his sober.

As a general, a person who commands hundreds of thousands of troops to kill the enemy on the front line, few generals can be cold-blooded. After the war, they hid in a place and covered their chests, enduring the pain in their hearts.

To outsiders, this is a number, but for those commanders, these are living people, all flesh and blood soldiers.

At this time, the commander, deputy commander, Li Tianxing and Ning Ze, no one spoke, they all raised their heads high and did not let their tears flow down.

A few minutes later, Hu Bin left his head in the commander's arms, sat upright, wiped away his tears, and said to the commander: "I will go to the airport tomorrow to welcome the soldiers back. I will take them out. I will take them back here!"

"Okay, tomorrow you will wear the clothes of ordinary soldiers and serve as my guard to welcome the soldiers back." The commander nodded.

"Thank you, Commander." Hu Bin nodded thankfully. He couldn't go out now. Yan'an had already released the news. Hu Bin's health was in trouble and was recuperating now. People in China knew that Commander could receive tens of thousands of letters sent from all over the country every day, all asking about Hu Bin's health.
