My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 273 Yuan Li
Canned food, fruit, cured meat... The soldiers sent over the ready-made food in the Japanese camp.

They frantically pounced on the food like a hungry tiger seeing a sheep, and started to gobble it up without saying a word.

"Oh, these people's eyes are starved, I don't know how long it's been since they had a full meal." Bu La shook his head, unable to bear to look directly.

This group of people has no expression on their faces, their eyes are numb and empty, like a body without a soul, and they can only exercise some instinctive reactions.

It wasn't until the soldiers repeated over and over again that we are an expeditionary force and that you are saved, that the eyes of these people slowly recovered a little brilliance.

A few skinny soldiers with unshaven beards even hugged each other and wept bitterly, as if they were venting their pent-up emotions.

The officers and men of the three divisions silently watched these beggar-like compatriots in front of them, feeling slightly sour in their hearts.

They all have the same identity as themselves, but they are suffering here and are tortured so badly by the little devils. The sadness in this is unimaginable for ordinary people.

"The seats are here!"

When everyone turned their heads, they saw Liao Mingyu leading his men striding towards here.

"There are so many people? Damn it!" Seeing the tragic situation here, Liao Mingyu was so angry that he couldn't help yelling loudly.

There are hundreds of prisoners of war gathered in this small concentration camp. The dark life makes them see no hope, so that most of them are now in a state of confusion.

"Long Wenwen, count the number of people, and call the medical company to come over and check them one by one, and then take them down to take a good rest."

Liao Mingyu immediately issued an order, no matter what the identities of these people, he would not let them go.

"understand!"

Just as Long Wenwen was about to arrange things, a young man in his twenties suddenly stepped out from the crowd.

"Sirs, on behalf of my soldiers, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you!"

The young man stood up straight and gave a standard military salute to Liao Mingyu and the others. Although his face was pale, his eyes were bright, and a lieutenant colonel's collar badge was faintly visible on his worn collar.

This young officer was obviously different from the muddled ones of the others. He was polite in his conversation, neither arrogant nor humble. It could be seen that he should have some status in the original army.

"Are you their commander? Tell me about the specific situation here." Liao Mingyu bowed back and asked curiously.

"Yes! Sir. My name is Yuan Li, the former Lieutenant Colonel and Battalion Commander of the 200nd Regiment of the 1152th Division. Most of the soldiers here are soldiers from the 200th Division, as well as some local people..."

The young officer Yuan Li slowly told Liao Mingyu what happened to them.

It turns out that this concentration camp is basically the soldiers of the Chinese Expeditionary Army who were defeated and captured when they entered Burma for the first time.

Yuan Li's unit was the first mechanized unit of the government, the famous 200th Division in China.

As the main force of the expeditionary force, the 200th Division was one of the first Chinese troops to enter Burma in March 42.

They became famous in the battle to defend Tonggu, and they still fought desperately even when the enemy was heavily surrounded and had no reinforcements. In the end, they wiped out more than 5000 enemies, showing the prestige of the Chinese Expeditionary Army.

General Dai even announced before the battle: If the division commander dies in battle, he will be replaced by the deputy division commander; if the deputy division commander dies in battle, he will be replaced by the chief of staff;

However, due to the failure of the British army on the western front to take active actions and the delay of the British side, the follow-up troops of the expeditionary force failed to be transported to the Tonggu front line as planned.

Although the results were brilliant, the 200th Division also paid a huge price. The whole division fought hard for 12 days and suffered more than 2000 casualties.Coupled with the lack of food and ammunition inside, and no reinforcements outside, facing an enemy four times larger than oneself after reinforcements, they were trapped in an isolated city, and the situation was critical, so they had to choose to break through in the end.

Then they moved to Taunggyi, Larong and other places according to Shangfeng's instructions to cover the retreat of the 5th and 6th armies to the country. Finally, when they crossed Yeren Mountain, they were ambushed by the 56th Division of the Japanese Army, and the troops were subsequently beaten. In the end, General Dai was also seriously injured and finally died. The entire 200th Division withdrew to the country with less than 3000 people.

袁立所在的1152团第9战车营因为连番战斗和撤退原因，18辆苏制T26轻型坦克损毁9辆，剩下的也只能无奈丢弃。

But when they reached the border town of Wanding, they were intercepted by the Japanese army. Yuan Li immediately led his troops to block the enemy, but was surrounded by the Japanese army due to being outnumbered, and finally he himself was captured due to injuries.

Only [-] of the [-] expeditionary force that went to Burma for the first time returned home safely. Tens of thousands died in battle in foreign countries, and countless soldiers were captured by the enemy.

The sad thing is that they can only be counted as missing in the rear statistics, and Yuan Li's group is one of them.

Later, the Japanese army occupied a large area of ​​land west of the Nujiang River, and thousands of prisoners of war were escorted to Burma or Malaysia in batches.

It would be fine if it was just an ordinary prisoner-of-war camp, but is there any need to talk about the virtues of the Japanese?
The reason why the little devils don't kill them is nothing more than keeping them for great use. The Gangzi 9420 troops headquartered in Singapore need a large number of living test objects for the research of new biological and chemical weapons, and these prisoners of war are the best candidates.

Because Longling also has a biochemical research institute set up by the Gangzi 9420 troops, more than 2000 prisoners of war including Yuan Li were also escorted here.

The military camp that Long Wenwen and the others discovered was the Japanese military laboratory. Besides prisoners of war and little devils, many local people were also arrested and subjected to inhumane bacterial experiments.

These devoid of conscience conduct experiments on plague, typhoid, anthrax, tuberculosis, and syphilis with living bodies in order to develop more efficient biological and chemical weapons.

The concentration camp originally imprisoned thousands of Chinese people, but only a few hundred people survived, and the rest were brutally tortured and killed by little devils in various biochemical experiments.

Liao Mingyu sighed softly, and felt somewhat empathetic when he heard Yuan Li's experiences. In fact, he was the same as these people when he led the Sichuan Army, struggling desperately in the torrent of defeat, just to go home.

If it weren't for the system and its own foresight, it would probably become a pile of dry bones in the primitive jungle and be buried forever in a foreign country.

"Turtle son's little Japan, I'm going to kill those captives now!!"

"You bastard, count me in!"

The upright Yao Ma and Bu La got mad on the spot when they heard this, and they wanted to vent their anger on those captive little devils.

Liao Mingyu curled his lips. Now that he thinks about cutting off his head, it would be a bit cheap for those little devils. He should let them have a good taste of what real cruelty is.

"Those beasts were chopped up by Chen Jize a long time ago, you can see them now on the west road."

"what?"
