In the drizzle, Song Yuhang's troops were lucky to get rid of the Japanese army's outflanking attack, but the Japanese Oshima Wing that followed behind did not dare to pursue boldly, after all, first the strange mines, and then the frequent harassment of snipers, who knows what tricks the Chinese army can play The cautious and cautious Japanese army missed a good opportunity to encircle and annihilate Song Yuhang, and Song Yuhang, who jumped out of the Japanese encirclement, commanded the troops not to stop for a moment, and advanced rapidly day and night along the ruts on the muddy road, and even ate on the march.
At 7 o'clock in the morning of May 13, the sky was still overcast and gloomy, and the drizzle could not cheer up the 200th officers and men, who had been marching continuously for 48 hours.
Even so, there were still many soldiers who fell headlong to the ground while walking, muddy roads and complicated terrain, coupled with the continuous struggle with the Japanese army, which had consumed too much physical strength of the Chinese soldiers, and after the defeat, the morale was naturally not high.
Seeing that the troops were about to collapse, Cui Zhijun found Song Yuhang, who was also a national treasure, with two panda eyes, and studied letting the troops rest for a few hours.
As soon as he heard that the troops were going to rest, Luo Jiaxiang, who had no strength to speak, rushed to a tree on the side of the road, and lay down on the ground in a raincoat and fell asleep.
Song Yuhang, who had been holding on, heard the snoring sound, and his eyelids suddenly seemed to be hung on a jack gate, so heavy that he didn't even have the strength to open them.
"Ordered the troops to rest for a morning and advance at 12 o'clock, ordered each company to lay out a tarpaulin before sleeping to prevent dampness and cold, and ordered the cooking squad to cook some hot soup so that the medical team could pay attention to the condition of the wounded."
After Song Yuhang gave a series of orders, he patted his drowsy head and began to check the situation of the troops.
Xu Tu'an, who had fallen from Yijing, saw Song Yuhang get up and prepare to inspect the troops, and struggled to get up, but was pressed to the ground by Song Yuhang: "You rest for a while, and when you wake up, go check and count the weapons, ammunition and supplies." ” In the drizzle, the Chinese soldiers simply used a few branches to spread a few pieces of tarpaulin on the ground, and then several people leaned together with their guns, and some even got under the car to hide from the rain, and many people fell asleep biting on biscuits and dry food.
Several officers saw Song Yuhang coming over and hurriedly wanted to stand up, but Song Yuhang hurriedly pressed them back, squatted down and learned about the situation of the company.
The wounded are the focus of Song Yuhang's examination, and the bumps of the days have made all the wounded appear very weak, due to the limited number of vehicles, most of the lightly injured are also on foot, and after checking a wounded man with an arm, the nurse who examined the wound for the wounded just stood up and fell to the side.
Song Yuhang hurriedly hugged the nurse in his arms, and found that none of the military uniforms on the little girl's body were dry and she had a high fever.
"Military doctor" Song Yuhang greeted the military doctor, he knew that the current expeditionary force only officers above the company level were issued with raincoats, and most ordinary soldiers only had a rain cloth, so he turned around and took off his raincoat and draped it on the shoulders of the little nurse Song Yuhang glanced at the military medical officer: "They are all revolutionary soldiers who fought for the freedom of the country and the nation, their parents are looking forward to them going home, where to defeat the battle, I don't blame you, you have done your best, and now my task is to bring you back alive." ” Song Yuhang's voice was not loud, but it made many wounded lean in to watch, and the officers wearing raincoats on the side took off their raincoats and put them on the wounded and nurses.
Seeing the scene, Song Yuhang nodded with satisfaction, and when he turned around, he found that Xu Tu'an was standing beside him at some point, so he nodded slightly and said: "Morale can't fall, and people's hearts can't be scattered."
Returning to the tent at the temporary regiment headquarters, Song Yuhang walked around and directly ordered the tent to be given to the regimental health team, and then gathered all the regimental and battalion commanders under a big tree on the side of the road.
Nominally a meeting, but in fact, all the people have no intention of speaking, and the battle has been fought like this, and they have fled, and the so-called arrangement is nothing more than how to escape faster.
Song Yuhang took a damp cigarette from Luo Jiaxiang's hand, lit it and said thoughtfully: "Everyone has seen it, in the past few days, our road is getting narrower and narrower, and the more we walk, the more complicated and difficult the road is, since last night, we have found overturned vehicles on the side of the road from time to time, I believe it will not take long, and there will be no road ahead." ” Song Yuhang's words made everyone present feel refreshed, Xiao Guodong stared, and looked at Song Yuhang with an incredible gaze: "Tuanzao, judging from the overturned vehicle, the military department is taking this road."
Song Yuhang wiped the rain from his face, and thought to himself, Deputy Commander Du, Deputy Commander Du, did you bring the brothers to the old road again But Song Yuhang couldn't say this, so he could only say in a deep voice: "The forest is getting denser and denser, haven't you noticed that there is still the driver's body in the vehicle that turned over the roadside, which shows that there is not even a trace of rescue, and those discarded equipment and so on." ” Everyone was stunned by Song Yuhang's words, they didn't even bury the bodies of their comrades, and no one went to rescue the so-called large army in front of them after the vehicle was overturned, and it was likely that they were already in danger of breaking up.
Moving closer to the military headquarters has always been the expectation in everyone's hearts, and everyone who attended the meeting knew that the 200th Mechanized Regiment at this moment was like a lonely boat in a storm, and the military headquarters and the large army were their haven from the wind, but now I am afraid that the harbor itself is difficult to protect.
In fact, Song Yuhang's purpose was to vaccinate everyone and minimize the impact of the collapse of the military headquarters and the new 22nd Division.
At 12:30 p.m., the troops set out in a whole group, and after half a day of recuperation, the mental state of the troops was much better, and according to the report of the reconnaissance team after the break, the vanguard of the Japanese army seemed to have stopped the pursuit, as if waiting for the follow-up troops In the evening, Song Yuhang led the lead company to a cottage called Dongdong Mountain, which had entered the edge of the primeval forest, and there were countless military vehicles parked on the not wide road, light tanks and artillery that had been blown up, and so on.
Looking at the wreckage of the vehicles, artillery, and chariots with no end in sight, Song Yuhang felt as if he had been pinched heavily, this is the real strength of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and these precious weapons and equipment were exchanged for the bloody battles of the Chinese military and civilians in the past four years Song Yuhang touched the broken and bent barrel of an American 1A1 75mm mountain gun, and found that the foam on the ruler base had not been removed I think of those days and nights in Tonggu, the Chinese soldiers withstood the dense artillery fire of the Japanese army like raindrops, and repeatedly fought with the Japanese army for every inch of position with their flesh and blood.
Song Yuhang couldn't understand that weapons were for people to use, not to keep them to preserve their strength, and if these artillery pieces and chariots were allocated to the 200th Division, then the Battle of Tonggu was likely to be a different situation, and the war situation in Burma would definitely not be corroded to this extent.
A gust of mountain wind howled by, and these vehicles with their inner tubes removed, the guns that had taken away the guns, and the vehicles that had been blown up, seemed to tell their tragic fate.
Song Yuhang saw panic in the eyes of the follow-up troops, and the abandoned equipment was as if it was the current 200th Regiment.
While looking for a guide, Song Yuhang sent people to inquire about the direction of the military headquarters, and on the other hand, he sent troops to search for all materials that could be used to survive and continue the battle.
Night was about to fall, Song Yuhang stood outside the gate of the cave cottage, watching the Chinese soldiers with torches searching among the many abandoned vehicles, who would have thought that the mechanized troops of China's most elite expeditionary force would be buried in this vast forest, this cemetery made the 200th Regiment feel great pressure.
After watching it for a long time, Song Yuhang sighed lightly and said that the future was uncertain What Song Yuhang was most afraid of still happened, judging from the abandoned materials and equipment, the expeditionary force can be said to have retreated in a hurry, and the troops set off lightly The Chinese expedition, which lacked experience in jungle survival and the necessary equipment, rushed through the primeval forest lightly, and the terrible consequences made Song Yuhang not even dare to think about it
