Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

On the road from Mengguan to Homalin, the Fifth Army of the Expeditionary Army is marching in a hurry. The weather is sultry. In addition, the soldiers have been rushing for more than [-] hours since they set off yesterday morning, and they only rested for five hours in the middle. , so the team seemed a little loose, the soldiers were sweating profusely and panting, but the officers seemed not satisfied, and stood on the curb and kept urging "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up".

Luo Zhuoying, the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force and the commander of the fifth army, was also walking like flying in the team. There were more than 50 people, but they seemed more energetic than the young men in their teens and twenties.Because there are thousands of wounded soldiers marching along with the Fifth Army, in order not to slow down the marching speed of the troops, all the vehicles except the vehicles for pulling heavy equipment and supplies are used to pull the wounded.

However, he is a person with good spirits on happy occasions. He was transferred from the commander of the group army to the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. It seems that he has been promoted, but he has no troops under his command, which means he has separated from the real power. He is not as good as a commander of the group army. It makes him depressed. a period of time.

Fortunately, after Jiang Haoran came, he was allowed to concurrently serve as the commander of the Fifth Army, which allowed him to regain that sense of loss.He heard that this army commander was appointed by Jiang Haoran, and secretly guessed that Jiang Haoran was repaying his "teaching favor" to him at the beginning. At the same time, he also saw from it that Jiang Haoran will definitely be able to escape from the prison this time. Soaring to the sky, he had already made up his mind to assist Jiang Haoran in leading the expeditionary army, especially now that Jiang Haoran entrusted him with this task, which made him feel that he was being relied on. At the same time, he also felt that Jiang Haoran was Giving him a great credit for becoming famous, that's why he is so energetic.

Terauchi Shouyi's judgment is completely correct, Jiang Haoran is really thinking about Yingduo, even the two raids, the intervention of the British army, and the recruitment of civilians to build roads, all of these are almost the same as Terauchi Shouyi's estimate.

However, once the Fifth Army leaves Mengguan, it will be too late even if the Japanese army knows all this. The Fifth Army will arrive at Homalin tomorrow morning, and use one army and three infantry divisions with more than 4 people to fight the Japanese army. The brigade can only be said to be crushed directly, and they will be able to enter the city of Yingduo the day after tomorrow. If General Stilwell persuades the British army to help out, even if the progress of the Hukang River Valley and Mina does not achieve the expected results of Jiang Haoran, they will be completely defeated. Possess the strength to defeat Yingduo.

Amidst the urging and yelling of the officers, Luo Zhuoying walked out of the team and unbuttoned the two buttons on his jacket. The hot weather made his jacket drenched with sweat, and even the dry place was covered with salt and frost. In fact, what did the soldiers do? It's not that I've been in a wet and dry body for several times, but there is no way, there are still a hundred miles to go, the sooner I arrive, the higher the chance of winning, and I have to persevere even if I break my leg.

After receiving the kettle from the guard, Luo Zhuoying drank two sips of water, wiped his mouth, and then opened his voice and shouted: "Brothers, this battle is not only the key battle for our expeditionary force to escape from the encirclement of the Japanese army, but also my first battle." When the Five Armies became famous, so even if you broke your leg, you must persevere. Think about the life and death of the country, think about the ardent expectations of your parents, wives and children, and think about our future generations. We must persevere when we are tired. Next, we will sing the "Chinese Expeditionary Army Song", and I will start, 'China will not perish, China will not perish, and the athletes of the expeditionary force will go to the battlefield?????? 'Get ready.

"China will not perish, China will not perish. The athletes of the expeditionary army fought bloody battles on the battlefield. The guns are on our shoulders, the blood is on our chests, and the solemn military flag is flying in the artillery fire. It is better to die than to retreat, and to die than to surrender. , The strong Japanese invaders dare not stop, dare not stop???????"

Following Luo Zhuoying's order, the mighty and majestic singing resounded loudly, and the team immediately became orderly, and the speed also increased significantly.After leaving Mengguan, the troops don't need to hide. What they want now is to race against the Japanese army, and what they need is speed.

Looking at the flying dust raised by the army, Luo Zhuoying showed a satisfied smile on his face, wiped the black sweat off his face, and strode south.

Imphal, British Army Headquarters.

At the dinner table, Stilwell raised a wine glass filled with red wine to the commander-in-chief of the British Army, General Alexander, and said, "Cheers, General Alexander, and I wish the Chinese Expeditionary Force a victory in the Burmese battlefield!"

Alexander also raised his glass and said with a smile: "General Stilwell, although I don't think this is a good idea, I am really moved by your nagging obsession. I don't know what you think of those 'beggar-like troops'. Come to faith, but I am willing to believe your vision."

There was a clear "bang" sound of glass colliding, and the two poured the red wine in their hands into their mouths, and then laughed loudly.

Stilwell arrived here yesterday morning by armed helicopter. It was only at this moment that Stilwell persuaded Alexander to agree with Jiang Haoran's plan, and sent two divisions to assist the Fifth Army of the Expeditionary Army to fight Yingduo. Burma Highway.

In fact, the British army has completely given up any hope for the Burmese battlefield, and is actively deploying a defense line on the India-Myanmar border to prevent the Japanese army from invading India.They didn't think at all that the Chinese Expeditionary Army's ragged, shabby-equipped, and beggar-like troops could defeat the Japanese army, even though the helicopter that Stilwell took surprised them, even though the expeditionary army sent an airborne attack on Meng Gong in the morning. Jiedian, but they always believe that the victory of a battle cannot be won by the ability of one person or an elite paratrooper.

It was Stilwell who spent a day and a night convincing Alexander. He not only described Jiang Haoran's legendary battlefield glory in detail, but also rehearsed the entire layout of the battle on the sand table. Approval of the generals.But this kind of recognition is still tentative. Just two hours ago, one minute before the two British divisions set off, Alexander called the two division commanders aside and ordered them to move with the camera. retreat.

On the outskirts of Mina, the No.60 Sixth Army Temporary Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force.

Jiang Haoran stood in the first place with an angry expression on his face, the army commander Zhang Zhen and the division commanders and regimental commanders all lowered their heads and their faces were full of shame, and some of them even trembled.

The first thing Jiang Haoran did when he flew to Mina was to gather all the division commanders and regimental commanders for a meeting, one by one to point out their shortcomings in tactics and lack of cooperation in coordination. A plate of loose sand.Jiang Haoran's words were fierce, and he could not stop talking, scolding these division commanders for nothing, but he did not make any comments or reprimands on one person, that is Liu Bolong, the division commander of the 28th division.
