Chapter 143 I'm Going to Myitkyina
Amidst the roaring cheers of the soldiers, Song Yuanming glanced at Sun Liren and Du Yuming, whose faces turned gray, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. This smile disappeared in a flash, and no one noticed.
"Dong De Long Dong Qiang - Dong De Long Dong Qiang -" A burst of lively sound of gongs and drums came, attracting the attention of all the soldiers. I saw a large group of people at the gate of the headquarters compound.
Overseas Chinese in various costumes filed in carrying various gifts. After the overseas Chinese entered the compound, two lion dance teams with strong Chinese characteristics danced lifelike lions amidst the lively sounds of gongs and drums.
Performing a variety of difficult moves.
"Boss, you are finally back." An overseas Chinese man with a goatee and about sixty years old came out. He held Du Yuming's hand with tears in his eyes and shook it.
It was obvious that he was very excited, so excited that he couldn't control the movements of his hands.
"Uncle, you're welcome." Du Yuming tried his best to put on a friendly face. These are all our compatriots.
"You're welcome, you're welcome. Boss, you don't know that our army is not here, and the little devils are arrogant all day long. The lives of the folks are really difficult. Now, our Chinese army is back, folks.
We all have a bright future ahead." The old man excitedly touched his eyes blurred by tears, but then he saw the coffin covered with bright national flags behind the officers, "Stop, stop beating the gongs and drums, the lions are also
Stop." The old man was very authoritative. Although his words were not loud, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing.
"Old man, what are you..." Song Yuanming jumped down from the high platform and walked to the old man in a few steps.
"Sir, please forgive me for being abrupt, but I didn't know that the National Army is setting up a funeral hall here today." After the old man said this, he turned around and said loudly to the people behind him: "Fellows, today, the National Army is setting up a memorial hall here.
The mourning hall, those who died here are all juniors. Although they are not as old as us, they are all good men. It was they who rescued us from the rule of the Japanese devils. Fellow villagers, fight for our children.
, for the expeditionary officers and soldiers who saved us overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia, kowtow three times!"
"Oh, no, no, no, no, sir, you are really embarrassing us." Song Yuanming quickly supported the old man who was about to kneel down, "We soldiers, with the common people's food and salary, we are going to bleed and die for everyone.
.These brothers went, but they went to liberate Myitkyina and for us overseas Chinese who are suffering. If they knew that their sacrifices had brought everyone a healthy life, I believe they would rest in peace."
Listening to Song Yuanming's words, Du Yuming, who had been clamoring to withdraw from the Savage Mountain to the country, wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. If he really withdrew, or it would be more appropriate to say that he was defeated in the Savage Mountain, then he would really abandon it.
We abandoned them and abandoned these overseas Chinese who were suffering in Nanyang.
At the same time that the Chinese Expeditionary Force held a public memorial meeting for the fallen soldiers in Myitkyina, the headquarters of the Indian and British Empire troops in India.
Chief of General Staff Stilwell had already arrived at the headquarters of General Alexander, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in India, on a transport plane of the Fourteenth Air Force. General Alexander was originally meeting Miss Smith, the BBC's ace war reporter from the UK.
The "Bloody Rose", which had been active on all major battlefields since the beginning of the war, almost took away the spirit of the battle-hardened Alexander.
"General, General Stilwell, Chief of Staff of the US Army, is here." (English) A major adjutant wearing British Army uniform hurriedly walked into the reception room and said.
"This damn Yankee." Alexander was very disgusted that Stilwell ruined his opportunity to get close to the beautiful woman. He cursed in a low voice, bowed slightly and made a gentleman's salute to Miss Smith: "Dear Miss Smith, please
Please wait a moment, I'll excuse you for a moment." (English) Smith also knew that Alexander was on official business, smiled slightly, and said: "It's okay, General." (English)
At the headquarters, Alexander glanced at Stilwell who was not far away with a gloomy expression. Not only Alexander, but also the British officers in the headquarters didn't have a good look when they saw Stilwell. Naturally, just a few decades ago,
, the British Empire is still the most powerful country in the world, what is the United States, it is just a former colony hanging overseas. But decades have passed, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, and now the British Empire is watching
They are exhausted, while the Americans are full of energy. Contempt, indifference, envy, jealousy and hatred... The British with various emotions naturally don't look good when they see Americans.
Stilwell's purpose here is very simple. Although he has heard about Song Yuanming's abilities, he still does not want to believe that the Chinese army can successfully capture Myitkyina. You must know that he has personally seen Du Yuming commanding all the beautiful weapons and equipment.
The excellent expeditionary force was forced to flee in embarrassment by the Japanese. As a result, he naturally did not have much confidence in the Chinese army, not to mention that the current expeditionary force could be said to have abandoned its armor. This lack of confidence made him
You have to find a place where you can temporarily stand to avoid the limelight. At the moment, the British army in India is such a safe haven.
"General, general." The confidential staff officer hurried in, picked up the telegram in his hand and read loudly: "General, there is a call from the Chinese army in Myitkyina. They have successfully captured Myitkyina. The 14th Air Force's
The transport plane has unloaded the first batch of military aid, and the fighter squadron is making the transition!" (English)
"They really did it. It seems that Song Yuanming is really good at creating miracles." (English) Stilwell Man murmured, but Alexander snorted coldly: "I won it again."
Anyway, it's one thing whether this army made of sand can hold it or not." (English) At this moment, the adjutant hurriedly ran into the headquarters again: "General, a group of Chinese troops is approaching Burma and India.
The border guard asked us for further instructions." (English)
"Chinese army? How many are there?" (English) Alexander asked.
"Three thousand people, the strength of a reorganized regiment." The adjutant replied. Alexander was originally slapped hard by Song Yuanming when he easily captured Myitkyina, but now he found a punching bag: "Order that team of Chinese soldiers,
Disarm and enter India as a refugee!" (English) Stilwell glanced at Alexander coldly: "Alexander, you are humiliating yourself!"
On the Myanmar-India border, the Chinese reorganized regiment close to them was the Sharp Knife Regiment of the 1st Hunter Division led by Qinan. The leader of the Sharp Knife Regiment, Du Cheng, suddenly changed his expression after receiving the notice from the British duty post. He thought they were also the First Division.
Du Cheng's trump card, and the troops whose bayonets had seen red on the battlefield, were actually being asked to disarm and enter India as refugees. With Du Cheng's temper, how could he endure it.
"Tour leader, don't be impulsive. It's better to ask the master for instructions first!" the adjutant quickly took Du Cheng's arm and said.
"I'm so excited, sister! You've been bullied by the British, but you can still hold back! We've got everyone, build fortifications on the spot, and the artillery battalion will set up all the cannons for me. If the British dare to ask us to disarm, we will
Give him a taste!!!" Du Cheng said fiercely. Afterwards, Song Yuanming and Qinan learned about the incident and threw Du Cheng to the Military Justice Department for a week of confinement. The reason was-for
The British are too damn polite. If you encounter something like this in the future, you won’t say anything. Beat them up. After beating them, Shangfeng will wipe your butts. Isn’t that what Shangfeng does?
As a result, the British on the Myanmar-India border saw a scene that they could not believe in their lives. The Chinese army on the opposite side built a three-story ring fortification of civil structure in just one hour, equipped with light and heavy machine guns and mortars.
It was directly aimed at the British soldiers at the duty post. The weapons in the hands of the Chinese army on the opposite side also surprised the British: that one seemed to be a Czech light machine gun, but what happened to the 200-round metal bullet chain? That one seemed to be
Mortars, but what’s that 300mm caliber? What’s that iron cylinder that the Chinese soldiers carry on their shoulders? Why does it look so much like the bazooka rocket launcher that the Americans just equipped?
, but the caliber is wrong. The caliber of this thing is much larger. Wait a minute, is that a German-made Pak37 anti-aircraft gun? Can you withstand this fortification? If any weapon from the opposite side comes over, you will be finished waiting for others.
Bar.
The British guy at the duty post was so frightened that he peed. The news reached Alexander's ears. Alexander was confused, but Stilwell couldn't hold back his laughter until his face turned red. He didn't care to stay here anymore and took the Fourteenth Air Force.
