In April, the sun was still so hot, and because of the great sacrifice of the 200th Division in Tonggu, it won precious time for the Chinese troops to be in full swing, especially the 66th Army, which had not yet fought the Japanese army, and the morale of the Prancing Horse Jingo was high.
Song Yuhang, an anti-Japanese hero who was blown by the Nationalist Government, miraculously returned from behind enemy lines, which is a legend in itself, and reporters and condolence groups from all walks of life immediately flocked to Kasiwa, a small town 50 kilometers away from Mandalay City, suddenly became lively.
Song Yuhang, who was unwilling to stay in the ward for one more second, jumped out of the window with Xu Tuan to escape from reporters, and even an American reporter who failed to interview many times thought that this famous anti-Japanese general was made up by the Nationalist Government.
In fact, Song Yuhang didn't want to face the so-called news media, now he just wanted to visit the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division who broke through, and the second point was that he had enjoyed special care and directly ignored these clumsy male nurses of the expeditionary force.
And there is no news about sending Xu Tu'an to find Wang Wen, I heard that it seems to be going to the new 22nd Division, and Song Yuhang, who has two big heads, can't understand why this little girl can't make people worry When he came to the military field hospital outside the town, Song Yuhang found the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division who had been temporarily placed together, the wounded were all fine, and many soldiers were still wearing tattered military uniforms and barefoot, and they snuggled together in groups of three or five and whispered something.
Suddenly, a sharp-eyed soldier spotted Song Yuhang, so he shouted: "The acting commander is here, the acting commander is here."
The position of acting infantry commander was temporarily appointed to him by Du Yuming after Zheng Tingqian was martyred in 131, and it was also his publicly recognized status in the 200th Division.
All the people were boiling, the field hospital was like a pot, many wounded and nurses came out of the tents one after another to look here, and some keen foreign reporters immediately moved closer to this side.
Xiao Guodong pushed aside the crowd, and when he saw that it was really Song Yuhang, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't care about Song Yuhang's still hanging arm and pounced on it, crying and not knowing what he was talking about.
Cui Zhijun, who was also carrying an arm, was also very excited when he saw Song Yuhang, first saluted a military salute, and then held Song Yuhang's hand tightly.
Song Yuhang keenly discovered that the military uniforms on Cui Zhijun and Xiao Guodong seemed to be under the inquiry when they broke through with Gu, and only then did they know that all the armies were now deploying, and the logistics were very busy, and the 200th Division was fighting with Gu It can be said that it was a nerve-wracking battle, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that the whole army was annihilated.
The troops without the commander are naturally unwelcome, and the eyes of the logistics quartermasters are bright, and the current situation is that these remnants of the army are not guaranteed to be dispersed to the divisions, and it is useless to send supplies to them for the time being, so a small area is demarcated in the field hospital and two meals are provided every day.
"I" Song Yuhang, whose neck suddenly turned red, held back the dirty words, threw the lanyard on his arm to the ground, and straightened his military uniform.
He said loudly to Xu Tu'an: "Go and invite Director Quartermaster Wang to me, and say that the commander of the 200th Division will invite him to come."
Director Wang, the quartermaster, naturally had no time to take care of this trivial matter, and only sent an assistant to the major general to come, and when the assistant to the major general surnamed Zhang found out that the other party was only a lieutenant colonel, his nose almost reached the sky, and he had never heard that there was an infantry commander surnamed Song in the 200th Division who asked Song Yuhang is a sentence, is this what you should ask "Official" Song Yuhang's vicious attitude, Assistant Zhang has obviously seen a lot.
Song Yuhang suddenly found that more than a dozen foreign reporters were surrounding him, and hurriedly asked Xiao Guodong to arrange for someone to pull the reporter away, after all, this is a family ugly.
Song Yuhang, who had nothing to do with Assistant Zhang, inadvertently put his hand on the holster on his waist, his move could startle Xu Tu'an, Cui Zhijun and others who were standing on the side, five or six people came up and pressed Song Yuhang's pistol almost at the same time, grabbed it and dragged the gun out, and you dragged me to pull the bullet on the top.
The muzzle of the gun has been pointing in the direction of Assistant Zhang, and the pale Assistant Zhang has seen such a scene, a little lieutenant colonel, who kills people if he doesn't say a word and pulls out his gun With a bang, a bullet hit Assistant Zhang's feet, Assistant Zhang instantly sat on the ground, and Song Yuhang's pistol was also snatched by Xiao Guodong.
Song Yuhang, who was struggling with pain in his arm, stretched out his hand, and said to Xiao Guodong with a sinking face: "Bring the gun" Assistant Zhang, who thought he had escaped the danger, instantly shook his head like a rattle, and signaled Xiao Guodong not to return the gun to Song Yuhang.
Xiao Guodong handed his eyes for help to Cui Zhijun who was standing aside, Cui Zhijun hesitated and said to Song Yuhang: "Don't make things bigger, this is not a temporary and extraordinary way to deal with the ancient front." ” Song Yuhang glared and said: "It's not the front line, what's wrong with the materials issued by the military seat, they dare to embezzle and withhold the materials, isn't this a big shit, it's just a shit major general, Lao Tzu, I am still the chief of staff of the military police regiment of the expeditionary force."
Assistant Zhang is remorseful in his heart at the moment, how can he offend this plague god one by one, this guy has been torn up and killed in Tonggu for more than ten days, I heard that people said that the Japanese disemboweled, and the lord who roasted the living people without eating later, must be addicted to killing.
Assistant Zhang was in a strong spirit, regardless of the official rank, and said tremblingly: "Chief Song, this is a misunderstanding, it is definitely a misunderstanding, and I will arrange a place for the brothers to distribute supplies and arrears immediately."
Song Yuhang snorted heavily in agreement At this time, the reporters on the periphery ignored the obstruction of the soldiers, and when they approached, they found that the young officer inside was not the Song Yuhang they had been looking for Zhu Changjiu, deputy director of the military's political department, happened to arrive and, in addition to escorting Song Yuhang, announced that he would hold a unified press conference tomorrow.
In the afternoon, someone stabbed Song Yuhang to the headquarters of the expeditionary force about pulling out a gun, and Du Yuming said lightly after understanding the situation in detail: "It's right, this is too chilling for the soldiers, when did my new Fifth Army divide the inside and outside, and it was sad for the meritorious heroes."
What Du Yuming didn't say was that the current 200th Division had become a piece of his heart The 200th Division, which had experienced a crushing defeat in Tonggu, can now be said to be unable to even count the remnants, the divisional and regimental-level officers have lost all their ranks, there are not many officers above the battalion level left, and there are only more than 2,000 lightly and seriously wounded men left in the entire five main regiments and four companies left behind, and the strength of even one regiment is insufficient, and the morale of Fengfeng is naturally not high.
The personnel who broke out of the siege from Tonggu were even more complaining, complaining a lot about the slow rescue of the allies and friendly forces, and some people even said that this was a copy of the second 39-year Kunlun Pass incident.
According to Du Yuming's original idea, he wanted to withdraw the 200th Division to the country for rectification, but this plan was stranded in the Ministry of Military Affairs, and now the Japanese are preaching everywhere that they have completely annihilated the 200th Division, the only mechanized force in China, and if the 200th Division disappears from the sequence of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, it will undoubtedly be a big slap in the face to Chongqing, which is preaching the great victory of Tonggu.
Who would want to take over this mess that has been crippled elite division, five years of hard work, their love will be bloody battlefield Du Yuming lit a cigarette and took a deep puff, he has already sent a report to Chongqing, please make arrangements for the appointment and rectification of the 200th Division as soon as possible.
The current 200th Division really can't afford to drag it out Sure enough, the 200th Division, which used to be fragrant and sweet, has now become the footcloth of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and before entering Burma, even if a division commander was transferred to the 200th Division as a regiment commander, he would have gone crazy and squeezed his head, and the Ministry of Military Affairs issued four personnel appointments in a row, three of whom could not take up their posts due to illness, and one of them refused to return to China because of illness.
Clear-eyed people naturally know that an elite division will cost money and painstaking efforts to cultivate, without five, seven, eight years and several major wars can not be cultivated, the most important thing is that the 200th division will be reorganized on the battlefield in Burma, this is simply a joke, what is Burma, that is the frontier battlefield, the little devil is bound to win, in the battlefield means to participate in the war, with a bunch of raw melons and eggs that come to pee as soon as the cannon sounds, the battle is lost, not only burying the personal military future, but also bearing the charge of losing the division and humiliating the country Just when the Ministry of Military Affairs was in a hurry, Song Yuhang, who was in the 200th Division's garrison every day, was even more anxious, and he had already sent three telegrams to Song Ziwen, but there was no news from Chongqing
