Before the war of aggression against China, the Japanese had a boastful saying: "The Japanese soldiers are the first in the world, and the Japanese Kyushu soldiers are the first!" ”

Kyushu, also known as Kyushu Island, has rich mountain forests and mineral resources, but many volcanoes, so the economy is not developed, the vast majority of residents are mining and logging for a living, can bear hardships and stand hard work, and adapt to the harsh living environment.

As early as the Warring States Period, Kyushu soldiers were synonymous with ferocity and cruelty.

During World War II, the Japanese invaders formed military units and recruited soldiers according to regions, and the three divisions formed by the Kyushu soldiers all showed good combat effectiveness.

One of the most notorious is the Sixth Division, composed of miners in the Kumamoto area of Kyushu, also known as the Kumamoto Division, codenamed "Ming", known as "black skin, red blood", its ferocity is the most of the divisions, as early as 28 years to create the Jinan Massacre, and in 37 years to participate in the Nanjing Massacre, and then as the backbone of the war of aggression against China has been fighting in Central China, and finally in the third Battle of Changsha was disabled by the Chinese army, and then was reorganized into a three-wing division regiment, transferred to the Pacific Theater.

The 18th Division, which also originated from Kyushu, was composed of lumberjacks, and was once touted by the Japanese as the first division in combat effectiveness because it was good at jungle warfare, codenamed "Ju", and had fought with Germany in World War I, landed in Hangzhou in 37 years, participated in the Battle of Nanjing, captured Wuhu, and then went south to Guangdong and captured Guangzhou, and the fighting style was also extremely fierce. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the 18th Division, as the first army to reach Southeast Asia, swept across the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia, achieving the prestige of Yamashita Fengwen "Malay Tiger".

Compared with the previous two divisions, the 56th Division has a smaller name, but its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated.

In the Battle of Tonggu, it was the timely reinforcements of the 56th Division that forced the 200th Division to withdraw from the battlefield on its own initiative.

On 29 April, the 56th Division staged a thousand-mile assault on northern Burma, quickly capturing Lashio, and completely defeating the expeditionary force.

Lashio fell, and the Anglo-Burmese forces on the Western Front, under the leadership of the "fleeing general" Alexander, hastily retreated westward to the Indo-Burmese border, running faster than rabbits...... Where do you remember that the expeditionary force was an ally of theirs? Where do you remember the saving grace of the expeditionary force to them?

After the fall of Lashio, the Sixth Army of the Eastern Front Expeditionary Force was ordered to move to the Jingdong (also translated as Jingdong) area, and the units of the Central Route Expeditionary Force were ordered to move to the west bank of the Inovady River.

On 30 May, the Japanese Fifth Army received an order from its base camp to "expand the results of the battle," and then pursued the defenders in front of it along the Yunnan-Burma Highway in the direction of the Nu River with the 148th Infantry Wing of the 56th Division and the 14th Wing of the Combat Vehicle Regiment, and advanced in the direction of Myitkyina with the main force of the 56th Division along the Lashio, Xinwei, Mujie, Nankan, Bhamo, and Myitkyina roads, so as to cut off Myitkyina, another retreat route for the Burma Expeditionary Force, and the 18th Division, The main forces of the 33rd Division and the 55th Division intensified their offensive against the various units of the Central Route Expeditionary Force, forming a three-sided encirclement with the intention of annihilating the main force of the Expeditionary Force in northern Burma.

On 30 April, the Expeditionary Force Headquarters retreated to Cambolu, an important town along the Mandalay-Myitkyina Railway, and established a temporary headquarters.

As a special service regiment directly under the headquarters, the 66th Regiment also retreated here by train with the commander's headquarters.

Gambleunan is one hundred and forty or fifty kilometers away from Mandalay, and when he arrives here, he can no longer see the gunsmoke in the direction of Mandalay and cannot hear the sound of gunfire in the direction of Mandalay, but the gunsmoke and the sound of gunfire have been churning in Li Siwei's heart, and he is almost out of breath.

If Lao Tzu was not just a small leader, if Lao Tzu could influence the decision-making of the top management, none of this would have happened!

However, he is only a small regiment leader, too far away from the decision-making level, and the tragedy of history is inevitable!

The emotion of self-blame lingers in the bottom of my heart.

Perhaps, some beings are inherently destined to struggle with self-blame.

Burma's air supremacy has long fallen into the hands of the Japanese invaders, and the Manmi Railway naturally did not escape the bombing of the Japanese invaders, and the reason why the headquarters temporarily stayed here was precisely because the railway going north had been blown up and was being repaired.

The situation was chaotic, and the 66th Regiment was ordered to take on the task of guarding the headquarters.

After arranging the vigilance, Li Siwei hurried to the headquarters to report, even if there were more negative emotions in his heart, he had to cheer up at this moment.

The headquarters is located in a large mansion near the railway station, and at this moment, all the generals are coming in and out, in a hurry, and it is also a busy scene, but there is a solemn atmosphere in the conference room.

"Didi......"

Rapid electronic sounds came one after another, and battle reports came hurriedly, like a hammer hitting the hearts of the generals.

General Stilwell and Chief Luo sat at the conference table, silently listening to the battle report, their brows furrowed.

"Junza,"

Another colonel's staff officer hurriedly walked into the conference room, wiped the beads of sweat on his face, and reported with a solemn expression, "The wounded soldiers of various units have been transported one after another, and the field hospital of the headquarters is short of doctors and medicines, and it is no longer possible to admit them......

"Then find a way!"

Chief Luo looked up at the staff officer, his face full of irritability, "Go, collect medical soldiers and medicines from all departments, and the headquarters will deploy them uniformly...... Do your best to contain all the wounded soldiers who have retreated here! ”

"Yes!"

General Stilwell hurriedly nodded in agreement, with a reluctant smile on his face, pretending to comfort the staff officer easily, "When the railway is cleared, we can successfully withdraw to Ba Mo, and when the time comes, doctors are not a problem, and medicines are not a problem......

"But ......"

The staff officer was still full of embarrassment, "Our army retreated in a hurry, and the medical soldiers and medicines that can be collected are ......"

"Report,"

Before the staff officer's words fell, Li Siwei hurriedly arrived at the door of the conference room, saluted, and was about to report, but when he saw that Chief Luo was in good spirits, he stood up suddenly, his eyes were blazing at himself, and he hurriedly straightened his chest, his face was full of solemnity, "Sir, what do you command?" ”

"Good!"

Commander Luo praised loudly and pointed to the colonel's staff officer, "Commander Li, the situation is difficult, the wounded soldiers of all departments are stranded here, and the field hospital of the headquarters is short of medical treatment, so you immediately assist the permanent staff to go to the various departments to collect medical soldiers and medicines...... Be sure to settle the wounded soldiers who are stranded here! ”

"Yes!"

Li Siwei hurriedly saluted, "Please rest assured, sir!" ”

Staff Officer Chang glanced at Li Siwei, quickly turned around and left, and Li Siwei hurriedly followed.

"Alas!"

Out of the conference room, Chang Wanmian suddenly sighed softly, turned his head to look at Li Siwei, and smiled wryly, "Head Li, this errand ...... It's hard! ”

"Hmm,"

Li Siwei nodded lightly and quickened his pace, "Let's go to our group first!" ”

Why didn't Li Siwei know that this errand was difficult?

However, the matter has come to this point, no matter how difficult the errand is, someone has to do it, right?

Since I have taken on this errand, I have to do my best!

Since entering Burma, the 66th Regiment has only fought one battle in Zaze, there are not many wounded in the regiment, and they have rested for a long time, and their manpower is also rich.

Seeing this, Staff Officer Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, he finally got off to a good start.

Subsequently, the two recruited more than 100 medical soldiers and some medicines from various departments, and finally solved the urgent need, but as the follow-up troops retreated one after another, the number of wounded soldiers continued to increase, and the pressure on the field hospital was also increasing.

"Alas,"

After leaving the field hospital, the permanent staff officer couldn't help but sigh, "I only hope that the railway can be opened as soon as possible......

Once the railway was opened, the wounded could be transported to Ba Mo in a steady stream and then transported back to China.

"Railroad ......"

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, wanted to speak and stopped, silently took out two cigarettes, handed one to the permanent staff officer, and swallowed the clouds and mist, but his heart was full of bitterness.

Li Siwei didn't know when the railway would be able to get through, but he knew that Bamo couldn't get through!

On 1 May, the troops stranded in the Mandalay area were completely withdrawn and the Ijang Bridge was blown up, blocking the Japanese on the east bank of the Inovady River.

On the same day, the Manmi Railway was finally opened to traffic after overnight repairs, and all departments hurriedly boarded the train to continue to retreat north, but after withdrawing to the Kerbal station, there was no car to take!

The road ahead was unrepairable under the bombardment of the Japanese invaders.

On 3 May, at the Kerbal station, more than 100 cars from various departments were collected, large and small, and the medical guards escorted the wounded soldiers to hurriedly board the trains.

Ning Rou and Wu Ruolan were next to the car to escort the wounded to board the car, and they would also board the car and go first with the commander's headquarters, but the vehicles were limited, so Li Siwei had to lead his troops on foot.

This is a helpless parting, but this parting is ...... Li Siwei didn't know if he could see them again, after all, the road ahead was too difficult!

"Commander,"

Li Siwei was looking at the two girls from afar, and Lu Tiesheng hurriedly came, "Chief Luo is here!" ”

"Oh,"

Li Siwei glanced at the two women one last time, turned around, and strode away, "Lead the way!" ”

"Yes!"

Lu Tiesheng hurriedly agreed, went first, and went straight to greet Chief Luo.

At the gate of the station, Chief Luo and General Stilwell came with a group of entourage, and when they saw the huge station crowded, they were in good order, and their gloomy faces were slightly gloomy.

"Hello sir!"

At this moment, Li Siwei hurriedly greeted him, and the "snap" was a salute.

"Junza,"

Staff Officer Chang also came out of the crowd and saluted with a solemn face, "Please board the car first!" ”

"No hurry,"

Chief Luo waved his hand and looked at Li Siwei, his face full of seriousness, "Commander Li, do you know why your unit has been resting since the Battle of Zaze?" ”

"Uh......"

Li Siwei was stunned, "I don't know if I am humble!" ”

"You know!"

Chief Luo looked at Li Siwei tightly, "The so-called good steel is used on the blade, as a special service group directly under the headquarters, I will not let your regiment go up unless it is absolutely necessary!" ”

As he spoke, Chief Luo's voice sank, "Now, it's time for your regiment to go up!" ”

"Yes!"

Li Siwei met Chief Luo's gaze and nodded solemnly, "Please command, Chief!" ”

"Good!"

Chief Luo nodded with satisfaction, took out a warrant and handed it to Li Siwei, his face was solemn, "Act according to the order...... Respond to the follow-up departments! ”

"Smack!"

Li Siwei took the warrant with both hands and saluted with a "snap", "Please rest assured, sir!" ”

Chief Luo glanced at Li Siwei deeply, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and turned around to leave.

"Sir,"

Looking at Chief Luo's back, Li Siwei gritted his teeth and asked, "Which direction are you going to transfer?" ”

Chief Luo's footsteps froze, and all the soldiers around him looked at Li Siwei in surprise.

This should not be asked!

Li Siwei naturally knew that he shouldn't ask this, but he still couldn't help but ask.

Because, the whereabouts of Chief Luo are related to the comfort of the two women and the female soldiers of the medical platoon!

Chief Luo also looked at Li Siwei, and there was no joy or anger in his eyes.

Li Siwei didn't dodge the gaze of Chief Luo, his expression was calm, but there was a hint of stubbornness.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little heavy.

"India,"

Chief Luo suddenly opened his mouth, with a hint of helplessness, "I just received the news that Wan Town has been lost, and the Japanese are rushing in the direction of Bamo...... To the north is a dead place. ”

As long as you don't go to Savage Mountain!

Li Siwei perked up and saluted, "I understand!" ”

Seeing that Li Siwei suddenly perked up, Chief Luo was a little surprised, glanced at Li Siwei strangely, turned around and left with the regular staff officer.

After seeing off Chief Luo and his entourage, Li Siwei turned around and walked back, walking in a hurry, hoping that he would still have time to say goodbye to the two women.

However, when he hurried back, the car in which the two girls were located was already far away......

Chasing?

Li Siwei wanted to chase, but he stopped as soon as he took a step.

At this time, he can't chase!

Because, he still has Chief Luo's warrant in his pocket, there are more than 2,000 brothers by his side, and there are tens of thousands of expeditionary soldiers behind him.

Looking at the car disappearing from sight, Li Siwei cheered up his spirits, and his voice was sonorous, "Tie Sheng, immediately call the heads of all departments!" ”

In the distant convoy, there are countless eyes looking back at the Kerbal station, looking back in the direction of Mandalay.

In a car, Ning Rou, Wu Ruolan and several medical soldiers all looked at the Kerbal station from the back of the carriage, their eyes slightly reddened.

The wounded in the carriage were also enduring the pain and refused to hum.

"Platoon Commander,"

Cui'er suddenly opened her mouth, her voice trembling, "We're just leaving?" We're gone...... The regimental commander and his brothers were wounded...... What should I do? ”

Silence, silence in the carriage.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of sobbing.

"No,"

Wu Ruolan suddenly looked up at Ning Rou, her big eyes were full of tears, but there was a hint of determination on her pretty face, "I want to stay, I want to accompany him!" ”

Saying that, Wu Ruolan put on the big medicine box and squeezed to the side of the carriage, and the posture was about to jump out of the car!

"Ruolan,"

Ning Rou hurriedly grabbed Wu Ruolan and glared at her with red eyes, "Do you know how serious this jump is?" ”

Wu Ruolan was shocked, looked back at Ning Rou, tears slipped down the corners of her eyes, her face was full of pleading, and she looked moving, "I know!" But I can't just walk away! You are a platoon commander, you can't be a deserter, but I can...... Let me take care of him for you! ”

Acting with the headquarters is a military order, and leaving the team without permission is a deserter!

"You ......"

Looking at Wu Ruolan, who was full of pleading, Ning Rou's tears also fell down, "What are you...... So stupid! ”

"I'm not stupid,"

Wu Ruolan heard Ning Rou's soft tone, so she gently broke free of Ning Rou's hand, and smiled at her, her tears were not dry, but she was also beautiful, "I know what is the most important thing!" ”

For her, the military order is not important, nor is the identity of the soldier, only he is the most important!
