Chapter 2 Hitchhiking
The Japanese watched the miracle disappear in front of them, and Jiang Shuifu ruthlessly blocked the way, so they had to vent their hatred and anger on the Chinese people who had not yet crossed the river. For several days, gunfire continued to fire on the west bank, and the Japanese launched a large-scale killing spree, massacring thousands of Chinese refugees.
History finally put an end to the so-called glorious victory of the Japanese in 1942 on the ruins of the west bank of the Nu River.
At this time, the armored support army of the 56th Division of the devil had advanced to Songshan, which was less than a kilometer away from the Huitong Bridge, and heard a violent explosion in front of it. Rear Admiral Sakaguchi, who was sitting on the turret of the tank, ordered his troops to halt their advance, and through the telescope he could see the Nu River rising with smoke and a collapsed remnant bridge washed by the ferocious waters......
"Your Excellency Commander, the Chinese army has discovered us. There is still one step left before we can control the entire Huitong Bridge. Shimada, who came to report before running, could hear his reluctance in his tone, and as long as he was a little more careful, the whole plan would be successful.
"Just one step away, just one step away, my imperial army can grow straight in, and the Nu River saved the Chinese army." Matsuyama Commander Major General Sakaguchi on the side sighed and said.
......
On the other side of the bridge, Yu Hanmin, looking at the blown up Huitong Bridge, felt indescribable. It's really a defeat.
Think about it at that time, China's expeditionary force was the best army in China at that time, the Fifth Army was the only mechanized army in China, the 38th Division was the richest army with the best equipment in China, and the Wenhua level of the officers and soldiers was also the highest among all armies in China.
The Battle of Tonggu and the victory of Ringanqiang We can know that the combat effectiveness of the expeditionary force is extraordinary, and the Japanese army on the battlefield in Burma at that time was only 4 to 50,000 people, and more than 5,000 people were wiped out by the 200 divisions in Tonggu Chengcheng, and the expeditionary force had 100,000 people, even without the help of the British army, it was impossible to rout, but the expeditionary force failed, and more than 60,000 people died.
On March 23, 1942, the Japanese army began to attack, advancing to Lashio and Lashio in a rapid column, and the army blocked the Japanese army in sections, and at dawn on April 29, the Japanese attacked Lashio. Zhang Zhen himself commanded the newly formed 28th and 29th Divisions, which held almost no resistance on the Yunnan-Burma Highway and were completely dispersed by the Japanese army. At the same time, the Burmese army had no logistical supplies and no way to retreat, and the natural army was unstable and retreated desperately, resulting in a great rout of the expeditionary force.
......
At this time, Ma Chenglong, who was behind him, was still touching his cheek with his hand from time to time, and he received a loud slap for no reason, so suddenly that even he didn't react. It's as if the whole person is still in a dream.
......
Longling.
The sky was cloudy, the air was humid and muggy, and there was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, and a rainstorm was coming.
Knock, knock, knock.
A hurried knock sounded at the Shen family's clinic.
"It's about to rain and who's knocking on the door." Xiaohuan said a little impatiently to Steward Li.
"Xiaohuan, go open the door."
"Yes, miss."
"Mr. Shimada."
"Is Miss Shen here?"
"In!"
"Miss Shen, my head is always in intermittent pain."
"You still have to trouble Miss Shen!"
"Mr. Shimada, you're polite."
"Miss Shen, in the past two years, thanks to you, I am lucky to be able to meet you in Longling, otherwise, I don't know what will happen?"
"Especially now, my head is getting more and more painful."
"Mr. Shimada, the main thing is that you don't get enough sleep and your mind is too nervous."
"As long as you rest well and don't get too nervous, you'll get better slowly, Mr. Shimada, don't worry too much."
"Xiaohuan, I just gave Mr. Shimada acupuncture, you can get some water and bring a towel to Mr. Shimada."
"Yes, miss."
The rain still didn't fall, but the dull thunder accompanied by lightning pierced the sky again and again. It makes people's mood unusually boring, very depressing, these days have not seen the sun, and there is no rain, which makes people even more irritated and depressed......
"Mr. Shimada, I heard that there is going to be a war." Xiaohuan said as she handed over the wrung out towel.
"Miss Xiaohuan, Longling will not fight."
"Here, it's very safe, it's safe, you can rest assured!"
"Oh, look at my head, acupuncture, it's much better."
"Miss Shen, thank you!"
"Mr. Shimada, you are too polite, this is the job that our doctors should do."
......
In May 1944, two years passed, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the east bank of the Nu River prepared to force the Nu River with 200,000 men from two group armies, and began a major counteroffensive against the Japanese army in western Yunnan. Armed with American-style ordnance, this resurgent expeditionary force was like a hungry tiger, and it is difficult to describe the feelings of the Japanese army just by using the word "impressive......
Suddenly, a jeep stopped, and a man with a cane in his hand stepped out of the car.
"Chief, Chief, you can't go any further, it's dangerous ahead!" Yu Hanmin, who was walking beside him, said while pulling the main seat.
"It's all our territory, so don't be too nervous."
"Boss, this is very close to the enemy."
"We must keep you safe!"
"The Japanese, if you want my life, you don't have the ability to do that."
"Just them, do you want my life?"
"The main seat, there is the Huitong Bridge in front."
"Two years ago, I watched the Huitong Bridge be blown up, and two years later, we are back."
"Yes, Hermes-Epitek, it's time for us to wash away our shame."
"The shame of snow in western Yunnan is not a dream in the end, and the national disaster will not allow the flesh to be born."
"Boss, what a poem!"
"Poetry may not be good poetry, but love is true."
"It's been two years, and we're finally back."
"Hermes-Epitek, the rainy season in western Yunnan is coming, we must be fully prepared!"
......
Longling, the radio room of the Japanese organ.
Drip, drip, drip...... The telegraph rang incessantly.
"Is there any news from Iron Eagle?"
"Not yet, Shaozuo!"
"Keep calling!"
...... Operational Staff Office of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
In view of the fact that the Japanese have now deciphered our army's telegraph code, before the new code book is delivered, all orders issued by the theater will be delivered by the staff officers of the General Headquarters. All radios are asleep.
"Counselor Tong!"
"Here!"
"You quickly send this map of crossing the river to the headquarters of the group army, and you will personally hand it over to Chief of General Staff Yu."
On a large road deep in the woods, I saw a car in a jeep speeding towards the headquarters of the group army. Counselor Tong, who was sitting in the car, held a briefcase and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hands from time to time.
At present, the intelligence organs of the Japanese army are pervasive, especially the Mangshi No. 1 of the Japanese army, which has even deciphered the codes of many radio stations of our expeditionary force or interfered with the frequency of our radio stations.
"Counselor Tong, there is a checkpoint ahead." The guard in the same car clenched his gun and said.
"Check, stop check!"
"Documents, documents out!"
As he spoke, several three people wearing expeditionary uniforms blocked the middle of the road with guns.
"I am from the Operational Staff Department, and I have important documents urgently sent to the group army." Saying that, Staff Officer Tong still took out his documents from his arms and handed them over.
"Oh, Staff Officer Tong, we also got instructions from Shangfeng to inspect all passing vehicles, please get out of the car and cooperate."
While getting out of the car, Staff Officer Tong hugged the briefcase tightly to his chest with both hands. Because he knew that this deployment map for the general offensive of crossing the Nu River was too important.
At the moment when Staff Officer Tong and the others just got out of the car, they saw a soldier who checked Staff Officer Tong's ID directly touched Staff Officer Tong with **, and Staff Officer Tong immediately fainted.
Before the guards and drivers next to them could react, they had already cut their throats with knives by the other two people, and a stream of blood spurted out instantly.
"Take this Tong Counselor, hide the bodies of the other two, go, drive quickly!"
At this time, a soldier in the car took out the information from his briefcase......
"The deployment map of the general offensive of crossing the Nujiang River has finally arrived, hurry up, hurry up."
......
It was a very dense forest, and the sun in the sky was roasting the whole earth like fire. There is only one road in the woods that can be passed by pedestrians and carriages, and this is the only way to our army's war zone.
On the way, two people walked together.
"I said, captain, will our second regiment cross the river as the vanguard this time?"
"The situation of the enemy on the other side of the Nu River, the reconnaissance company of our regiment has provided a lot of information to the group army, especially you, and Staff Officer Ma is in the tiger's den!"
"I said Xiaoshan, don't talk to me about those useless things, when did I Ma Chenglong go to Longling, your kid didn't go, you kid is praising himself, and Han Shigui has a virtue!" Saying that, Ma Chenglong raised his hand and prepared to fight Xiao Shandong.
"Captain, car!" Shandong turned around and said to Ma Chenglong.
"Stop and hitchhike." Ma Chenglong shouted as he picked up a gun and pointed it at the approaching jeep.
