At the end of 1941, Wan Town, an important town on the border of China and Burma.
More than 200 German-made Opel trucks of the Fifth Army Automobile Regiment of the Fifth Army Army sent the officers and men of the Supplementary Second Regiment into Burma along the vast mountains and fields on the winding Yunnan-Burma Highway, opening the prelude to the Chinese army's entry into Burma.
According to the plan in advance, the task of transporting the Second Regiment from China to Wan Town was all under the responsibility of the Fifth Army Automobile Regiment, and in order to transport nearly 3,000 troops of the Second Supplementary Regiment, the Automobile Regiment of the Special Army of Commander Du drew out nearly two-thirds of its capacity in the busy military transportation task and transported the Second Supplementary Regiment from Baoshan to Mangshi of the Sixth Army to cover the first line.
Then, from here into Burma, all the way to the small town of Wan Town, the road to Burma, for the first time appeared not to transport goods, but to transport troops, not goods, but to transport the Chinese army, the Chinese army convoy like a light gray dragon, marching in the mountains.
This was the first time since the First Sino-Japanese War that the Chinese army stepped out of the country to fight abroad for the life and death of the country, and the second regiment was the vanguard regiment of this first battle The wind and clouds are rising, the mountains and rivers are moving, the Huangpu army is strong, and the revolutionary heroes are loyal.
Jin Ge Iron Horse, a hundred battles on the battlefield, and a pioneer inside and outside.
Sweep vertically and horizontally, rejuvenate China, be invincible, and make great contributions.
A military song of the National Revolutionary Army is passionate and powerful fluttering in the sky over Wan Town, and when you go out to fight abroad, you must have a good military style and military discipline, which is a matter of dignity and national character, Zhang Wei ordered the whole regiment to pay attention to dress and military discipline, and to show the best and most high-spirited and uplifting spiritual outlook.
And singing military songs, there is no doubt is the best way to boost the strength of the strength, sitting in the car of the second regiment of the second regiment, while enjoying the beautiful mountain scenery on the edge of Yunnan, while singing loudly, for a while, full of pride.
The road was bumpy, driving more than 100 miles, supplementing the vanguard convoy of the second regiment, and finally arrived at Wan Town.
Zhang Wei, as the head of the regiment, naturally sat in the head car, however, as soon as he arrived in Wan Town, he had not yet connected with the people of the advance staff group of the expeditionary force, and the convoy suddenly slowed down, changing from rapid driving to turtle crawling, and on the road more than ten miles away from Wan Town, there was a scene that made Zhang Wei stunned.
On both sides of the highway leading to the town, hundreds of people held flowers, cheered, welcomed the convoy of the second regiment, beat gongs and drums, the scene was about to catch up with the New Year, and the people also held many banners, on which were written in regular characters such as "I wish the expeditionary army a victory" and "The heroes of the overseas Chinese in Burma are triumphant".
Obviously, this is the people on the border, and the overseas Chinese came to bid farewell to the national army that went to Burma.
Among the people, there are three-year-old children, some elderly, and some young students in their prime, dressed in different ways, coarse cloth and coarse clothes, wearing Mao suits, dresses, and bright girls, wearing cheongsam, foreign groups, student clothes, it seems that it is very eye-catching, but when these people are densely crowded towards the convoy, the people on the car are not in the mood to appreciate the beauty The people happily flocked to the convoy, and even worse, blocked the road, and the whole road was full of dense crowds, and the drivers of the Fifth Army reduced their speed in fear, and cautiously marched through the crowd.
This is not over, the masses on both sides of the highway are very persistent in throwing things at the back of the truck, there are candy, canned food, biscuits, flowers, beef jerky, the officers and soldiers of the second regiment of the supplementary regiment sitting on the truck compartment are at a loss, they can only sit hard, suffering from the "attack" of the people, "throwing things", smashing the German-made Opel truck with a ding dong sound.
Zhang Wei sat in the first car, then needless to say, the treatment was a first-class good, more fierce than the follow-up car, the carriage was almost piled up by the people, Zhang Wei sat in the co-pilot seat better, the regiment attached Zheng Yiqun sat in the back compartment, was thrown things smashed miserable, the herald of the regiment headquarters screamed again and again, and hurriedly brought a steel helmet.
"Sir, this car can't be driven, it's all ordinary people, and I can't go on."
The platoon leader of the car platoon next to Zhang Wei's left hand stepped on the brakes and said to Zhang Wei.
The drivers of the Fifth Army were also unlucky, they were tasked with replenishing the 2nd Regiment and transporting them to Wan Town, and the task from Wan Town to Burma was the business of the British Army, but who would have thought that when they arrived at the place, the road was blocked.
Zhang Wei looked at the scene in front of the car with a wry smile and nodded.
"Stop, I can't walk now."
As soon as the car stopped, at the door of Zhang Wei's passenger car, several people came over and smiled at Zhang Wei with a smile.
"Commander of the expeditionary force, come down and rest before you go."
"Come down and taste our rice noodles, you have to eat well when you are a soldier in battle."
It's already like this, Zhang Wei looked back, and the cars behind him also stopped, and now, he had to get out of the car.
Opening the car door, Zhang Wei jumped out of the car, and was immediately held by several people, and was pulled to the front of the road in the crowd.
After being carried forward for dozens of meters, with two feet trampled on his shoes and two handfuls of candy and a pack of cigarettes stuffed in the pocket of his military uniform, the people carrying Zhang Wei finally stopped and came to the main road.
Standing in front of Zhang Wei was an old man, on crutches, wearing a cyan horse coat, and he was a portrait of a village sage.
"Sir, the old man is the old man of Wan Town, I heard that our army is going to Burma today to attack the Oriental child, the old man specially led the people of the town, the virtuous, and some overseas Chinese in Burma to come, welcome, condolences to our expeditionary army, dare to ask the chief is" Zhang Wei hurriedly bowed to the old man.
"The junior is Zhang Wei, the head of the Second Supplementary Regiment of the Fifth Army of the Chinese Army, and the supreme commander of the first troops to enter Burma.
As soon as Zhang Wei's words fell, the old man in front of him suddenly put down his crutches and bowed.
"The Japanese invaders invaded my China, killed my people, the old man is old, he is eighty years old, he can't go into battle to kill the enemy, he is indignant in his heart, only to give the army condolences and condolences, can I make my heart a little wider, today I see the grand occasion of our army, the old man is excited, and I hope that Chief Zhang will be worshiped by the old man, and kill a few more Japanese soldiers on the battlefield for the old man, raise the prestige of our country, and defend my country."
As he spoke, the people around him also bent down, and some knelt down and kowtowed to Zhang Wei, and there were a large number of people who knelt and worshipped, hundreds of people.
Everyone knelt down, Zhang Wei was startled, but in his heart, he was more shocked, nose, and a little sour The patriotism of these people is beyond Zhang Wei's imagination, they can contribute everything, do their best to comfort the expeditionary force, and dedicate everything to the land under their feet.
Zhang Wei took off his military hat, helped the old man up, and said loudly "Folks, please hurry up, so that the younger generation is originally a soldier, fighting against the Japanese is a matter of duty, before the expedition, my brothers and I have sworn to fight to the end with the Japanese invaders, please rest assured that the old man and you, I Zhang Wei, will definitely do my duty, in a foreign country to raise the prestige of our country, hit the enemy, shoot up the last bullet, fight to the last person, swear to sweep the Japanese slaves regardless of their lives" ：。
