On 15 September 41, the 11 th Army of the Central China Front set up a headquarters combat command post in Yueyang, mobilized 45 infantry brigades, 26 artillery brigades, and a number of naval and land aviation units, and launched another operation against Changsha on 18 September.

On 4 October, in response to the Central China Front's attack on Changsha, the Japanese North China Front sent the 35th Division to force its way across the Yellow River from Xinxiang and capture Zhengzhou in one fell swoop.

By 1 October, the Ninth Theater had defeated the invading enemy, and the headquarters of the 11th Army of the Japanese invaders had issued an order to all participating units to retreat, and the Ninth Theater had won the Second Battle of Changsha.

On 10 October, the Sixth Theater seized the opportunity to counterattack Yichang and ended in failure, and the enemy and us resumed their pre-war posture.

On October 25, the 35th Division of the Japanese invaders, which had captured Zhengzhou, was ordered to withdraw across the Yellow River, and Zhengzhou was recovered.

At this point, when the smoke was everywhere, the officers and men of Li Siwei's subordinate were still training in the suburbs of Kunming, equipped with new weapons, and won good news from Changsha, and the morale of all the officers and men in the regiment was naturally high, and they all held back their strength to vigorously grasp the training, hoping to fight the majesty of the 66 th Regiment in one fell swoop on the new journey.

Li Siwei has led his troops to be stationed in the western suburbs of Kunming for nearly two months, but the headquarters of the First Route Army of the Expeditionary Force has not even had a shadow, and every time the person who comes to contact him is from the Central Military Commission's staff group in Yunnan.

Division Commander Guan is also a senior staff member of the Central Military Commission's staff group in Yunnan, but every time he comes to inspect, there is a faint sigh in his words.

It seems that the formation of the expeditionary force is not going well!

Although Li Siwei saw it clearly, he couldn't ask in detail, and only hoped that the order to open would be issued as soon as possible.

No matter how long it has elapsed or how far it has gone, officers and men at all levels have always kept in mind Li Siwei's words, "Only by sweating more in training can there be less bloodshed in wartime!" ”

In the conference room of the regiment headquarters, Li Siwei was giving a lecture to the officers at the company and battalion level: "...... In the previous lesson, we talked about the climatic trials that may be faced when entering a war zone, and in this lesson, we will continue to talk about the biological threats that may be faced when entering a war zone......"

In the past month or so, Li Siwei has collected all the information he can collect, combined with all the geographical, biological, and military knowledge he has learned in his present life and previous life, and has opened this course, starting with the topography and landforms of the Yunnan-Burma region and continuing to today's lesson -- the biological threats that may be faced when entering a war zone.

In the university of his previous life, Li Siwei majored in physics, but also took "life science", and combined with the "Report of the China-India-Burma-Malaysia Expedition Mission", he asked Huang Hua to go to the Yunnan-Burma border to find a few indigenous hunters to come back and learn some information, and this series of classes was also well explained.

"You have all stayed in Dabie Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain," Li Siwei lit a cigarette and took two puffs, and officially began to lecture, in the smoke, his expression was solemn, "Naturally I understand that there is no shortage of snakes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains......

"Regiment Leader," Liu Heishui interrupted Li Siwei, his face full of seriousness, "There are more Dabie Mountains, but there are fewer Zhongtiao Mountains...... They were all eaten by the turtles that went first! ”

"Hahaha......"

The generals laughed when they heard this, "Company Commander Liu is right, it's all delicious!" ”

"Turtle's," Li Siwei scolded with a smile, "Don't give Lao Tzu just thinking about eating, most of the snakes, insects, rats and ants in Dabie Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain can eat them, but nine times out of ten, the snakes, insects, rats and ants there can't ...... bang."

"There" naturally refers to the jungles of the Yunnan-Burma region.

"It's not all poisonous, is it?"

Hearing what Li Siwei said seriously, the generals hurriedly looked solemn.

"Well," Li Siwei nodded lightly, his expression solemn, "Let's talk about bugs first...... There, bugs are most numerous and the threat is greatest. ”

As he spoke, Li Siwei paused, took two more puffs of cigarette, and then continued, "Let's take the locust...... You've all encountered locusts, right? ”

"Of course I did," the generals nodded, "Dog's bloodsucking!" ”

The generals followed Li Siwei all the way from Dabie Mountain and Zhongtiao Mountain, which one had never seen a locust?

"Well," Li Siwei nodded lightly, and the conversation changed, "Where did all the locusts you encountered grow before?" ”

"Nature grows in water," the generals rushed to reply, "there are ...... in the ditches, paddy fields, weirs and ponds Dog, if you don't pay attention, you will be drilled into the meat by him! ”

"Does it hurt when you drill?" A smile appeared on the corner of Li Siwei's mouth.

"Of course it hurts!"

The generals nodded.

"But," Li Siwei swept away the generals, restrained his smile, and said in a slow voice, "The grasshoppers there grow not only in the water, but also on the trees, and the grasshoppers in the water are similar to what you have seen before...... Tree locusts are much more powerful, they fall silently and then get on people, sneaking into your body from your bare skin...... It won't make you feel a trace of pain until you drain your blood! ”

"Hiss......"

When the generals saw that Li Siwei said gloomily, their faces turned pale.

"It's true," Li Siwei nodded slowly, his expression solemn, "Uncle Zhebuleng, have you all seen it?" ”

"Yes," the general nodded hurriedly, "his face ......"

Zhebuleng was one of the hunters found by Huanghua, and his face was very pitted.

"Yes, that's him!" Li Siwei nodded, "Three years ago, he and his two partners chased a wild donkey in the forest and got lost, it was already dark at that time, they spent the night in the forest, and when they woke up the next day, the faces of the three of them were bulging with big bags...... He was the only one who walked out of the woods, and then he took off half a basin of locusts from his face, and sucked his belly bulging one by one, and his size was the size of a seven or eight-year-old child's fist...... So that face became what it is now. ”

Li Siwei spoke eloquently, but all the generals shivered excitedly and looked at Huanghua one after another.

"Hmm," Huang Hua nodded lightly, his expression solemn.

"But," Ji Kui frowned and looked at Li Siwei suspiciously, "why don't they feel pain?" ”

"This ......," Li Siwei groaned, trying his best to use simple language so that all the generals could understand it, "You all know about anesthetics, right?" ”

The generals nodded their heads, and the medical platoon often used that thing.

Li Siwei nodded, and then explained, "That kind of locust can spit out something like anesthetic...... It's called neurotoxin! ”

The generals understood, but Liu Heishui's expression moved, "Commander, if we catch more of that kind of locust, won't the medical platoon be short of anesthetics?" ”

"That's a good idea!" Li Siwei smiled and shook his head, "But it's not easy to operate...... The old rule, after going back, let every brother think about how to deal with it! ”

"Yes," the generals hurriedly promised, all eager to try.

Just like when he was resting in Baiguo Town, Li Siwei asked the problem, and the brothers thought of a way, and once the proposal was adopted, they would be rewarded.

Of course, Li Siwei is not without a solution, but with plenty of time, he prefers to let his brothers use their brains, only in this way, when they really face that problem, can they deal with it more calmly.

"Okay," Li Siwei nodded, and took two more puffs of his cigarette, "Next, let's talk about the bigger bug - the snake ......."

As always, Li Siwei was lecturing and smoking cigarettes, and the lecture was very slow and slow.

Now, what he needs most is to slow down, and only by slowing down can he suppress the anxiety in his heart.

The commander has not arrived for a long time, and Li Siwei has not received the next order for a long time, but ...... Soldiers' speed!

Moreover, more than 20 days ago, Li Siwei had already received a letter from home...... Ning Rou was born on September 15, a girl, according to the meaning of the two old men, the child was named Li Wanwan, nicknamed September.

With these things, Li Siwei's mood at this time can be imagined!

If you can't get an order, you can't go to the front line, and you can't go home because you're entangled in military affairs...... An anxious breath has been churning in Li Siwei's heart, and it may erupt at any time!

I don't know how many cigarettes I have smoked, Li Siwei finally finished a class, the conference room was already full of smoke, Li Siwei subconsciously went to touch the cigarette again, but found that the cigarette box was empty, so he had to wave his hand at the generals, "Disperse, tomorrow morning, we will start to talk about what tactics the little devils may use in jungle warfare...... When you go back, think about it! ”

"Yes," the generals hurriedly agreed, and they all got up and dispersed.

"Commander," Wang Sangen leaned over, took out a pack of cigarettes and put it in front of Li Siwei, looking hesitant, "We can get you as many cigarettes as you want, but...... Commander, you have to take care of yourself! The brothers are pointing to you to bring them back alive! ”

Li Siwei was stunned, glanced at Wang Sangen deeply, nodded lightly, and a smile climbed up the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, Lao Tzu has three babies......"

As the old saying goes, "Life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten", didn't Qin Qiong also struggle to sell horses that day?

There is no darkness in the world that cannot be escaped!

Li Siwei perked up, stood up, straightened his clothes and hat, and nodded at Wang Sangen, "Let's go, let's go to your camp first!" ”

Saying that, Li Siwei took the lead, "How is the third brother in your camp?" ”

"It's good," Wang Sangen hurriedly followed, with a smile on his face, "Platoon Commander Li was born to lead soldiers!" ”

"That's," Li Siwei smiled, his steps became more brisk, "Before, I was just a second-pole in Sifangzhai, but the third brother was a responsive existence!" A lot of the time, I still have to rely on him for support......"

Seeing Li Siwei and Wang Sangen laughing out of the conference room, Zheng Sanyang let out a long sigh of relief and smiled.

"Sanyang," Chen Huaili also smiled, "It's nothing to do now!" ”

"Yes," Zheng Sanyang nodded, with a hint of bitterness in his smile, "I don't know when the order will come down......"

As he spoke, Zheng Sanyang's hand quietly reached into his coat pocket and clutched the letter he had just received yesterday......

"Yes," Chen Huaili didn't notice Zheng Sanyang's strange appearance, but complained angrily, "I don't know what the people above are doing, don't they know how fast the soldiers are?" ”

For the commander, who doesn't know the speed of the soldiers? Who doesn't know "preemptive strike"?

However, the expeditionary force is no longer a national business!

The Nationalist Government was bent on defending the Yunnan-Burma Line and actively negotiated with the British and Burmese sides about the entry of the expeditionary force into Burma, but although the British Government was defeated on the European battlefield, it could not let go of the pride of the empire on which the sun never set, and a "Agreement on the Mutual Defense of the Yunnan-Burma Road" could not be signed for a long time!

While Li Siwei and the generals were worried, the Nationalist Government and the representatives of Britain and the United States were also in Chongqing arguing over the terms and conditions of the "Agreement on the Mutual Defense of the Yunnan-Burma Road."

Pulling skins between countries is much more tedious and lengthy than a family's skins!

Of course, middle-level officers like Li Siwei, Zheng Sanyang, and Chen Huaili would not know about the affairs between the high-level, but the sense of anxiety in their hearts has gathered for many days!

Wang Sangen's words made Li Siwei vividly suppress the anxiety in his heart, and he patrolled the camp with a strong spirit, looking for problems, and then cheering up his brothers, and he was busy until the beginning of night before returning to the hut.

Because Wu Ruolan was still in the team, Li Siwei asked for a hut next to the regiment headquarters.

In Kunming in November, the night was already a little cold, and the bedding was also pounced on the bed, and the two hugged each other and lay down warm.

The lights in the hut were dim, the food had been set on the small table, Wu Ruolan sat quietly at the table and waited, but the look on her pretty face was a little dazed, and when she saw Li Siwei coming in, she quickly turned her head and squeezed out a smile.

"What's wrong?" Li Siwei naturally saw Wu Ruolan's loneliness, and hurriedly walked over and gently pressed her shoulder, "Is the medical platoon in trouble?" ”

Wu Ruolan shook her head lightly, turned her head to look at Li Siwei, "I ...... I'm missing a baby......"

People, once they are idle, will be cranky, and when they think about it, they will become sentimental.

"I thought about it too," Li Siwei sat next to Wu Ruolan, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, "But, now...... Our regiment is already in a state of imminent battle! ”

When he was in the military academy, Li Siwei had a vacation to go home to see, but since the moment he received the letter of appointment, he could no longer leave the army without permission.

"I know," Wu Ruolan nodded lightly and smiled reluctantly, "Let's eat first!" ”

As she spoke, Wu Ruolan hurriedly got up to serve the meal.

Seeing her appearance, Li Siwei could only comfort her softly, "Rou'er should have arrived in the past two days...... Let her tell you more about the baby. ”

"But," Wu Ruolan's hand stiffened, and her voice was already wet, "September...... She also ...... That's so small! ”

September was born on September 15, and Ning Rou needs to leave home more than ten days in advance, so that when Ning Rou leaves home, September has just been full moon!

Thinking of this, Li Siwei also had a sour nose.

"Suck ...... Whew......"

Wu Ruolan sniffed vigorously and asked softly, "Siwei, when will we be able to go to the front line?" ”

"Holy shit," Li Siwei scolded angrily, "I don't know what the people above are doing?" ”

At this moment, Li Siwei couldn't wait to rush to the front line with his troops immediately and fight happily, just like Wu Ruolan's urgent mood at the moment.

They want to go home, but they are soldiers, and they can only go back when they have finished the battle they should fight!

"Siwei," Wu Ruolan saw that Li Siwei was excited, and hurriedly put down the bowl and spoon, gently grabbed his big hand, and her pretty face was full of nervousness, "Don't worry, don't worry...... You can't rush ......."

"Alas," seeing Wu Ruolan's nervous appearance, Li Siwei could only sigh softly.

These days, he has made every soldier in the regiment realize how dangerous the battlefield he is about to go to is, but why didn't he himself have a deeper understanding of the danger there?

Don't be in a hurry!

Lao Tzu was followed by more than 2,000 brothers...... Bring them back alive!
