At the end of the three-month investigation, the China-India-Burma-Malaysian military delegation took a plane from Lashio and returned to China.

The plane on which the regiment commander, General Shang Zhen, the deputy regiment commander, Lieutenant General Lin Wei, and the diplomat Zheng Kangqi and others flew back to Wujiaba Airport, while the commander of the Fifth Army, Du and Zhang Wei, were like arrows, and the two of them hurriedly took another plane to Baoshan, a small city in Yunnan.

There, there are troops that they have always been thinking about.

Before taking off, the officers of the inspection group discussed overnight, sorted out the final results of the inspection, and compiled a report on the inspection of the China-India-Burma-Malaysia military inspection group, in which the observations and experiences of the inspection and the actual situation of the British side and the combat attitude were included one by one, and the battle plan and operational policy for the future invasion of Burma were emphatically described.

Baoshan, located in the southwest of Yunnan Province and connected with the mountains and rivers of Myanmar, adjacent to Dali, Lincang, Nujiang and Dehong four cities, is an ordinary small city on the border of Yunnan, however, this is an ordinary small city, when the delegation returns to the country has been very lively, the troops of the Fifth Army are stationed near the whole city, after the instruction of Chongqing, the troops of the future expedition are all concentrated on the Yunnan side, the Fifth Army received an order after the departure of Commander Du, the whole army went to the Baoshan area to assemble, the units of the Fifth Army after several months of marching hit, More than 40,000 troops of the whole army, together with all kinds of light and heavy equipment, arrived at their destination, and all of them gathered in the Baoshan area on the Yunnan border, which was also the largest concentration of all units of the Fifth Army.

As a unique army in the country, the Fifth Army at this time was subordinate to three infantry divisions, the 200th Division, the 96th Division and the newly formed 22nd Division, in addition to these three divisions, there were also a large number of troops directly under the army, including the supplementary first regiment and Zhang Wei's supplementary second regiment, as well as cavalry regiments, engineer regiments, artillery regiments, baggage regiments, armored regiments, automobile regiments, anti-aircraft artillery battalions, anti-aircraft machine gun battalions, communications battalions, fire companies, and special service battalions...... A large number of units directly under the army and three combat divisions constitute the main force of the number one in the country.

Near Baoshan, you can see the soldiers of the Fifth Army everywhere, the garrison stretches for dozens of miles, with Baoshan as the center, and the nearby towns are almost all caught in a sea of soldiers.

……

After the plane in which Zhang Wei and Commander Du were riding landed at an airstrip near Baoshan, the two got off the plane and immediately got into a special car that had been waiting at the airport for a long time, and rushed to the nearby Fifth Army garrison.

There is a good saying, there are soldiers in hand, like walking on thin ice, this is to describe the mood of the officer with the troops, there are soldiers in hand, there are troops, no matter what you do, there is a pimple in your heart, thinking of your own troops, your own soldiers.

After leaving for more than three months, Commander Du and Zhang Wei were very anxious, and they drove at high speed in the car sent by Luo Youlun, chief of staff of the army, to the military headquarters of the Fifth Army near Baoshan.

Back at the military headquarters, Luo Youlun, chief of staff of the army, had already prepared a reception banquet in the military headquarters, and Commander Du and Zhang Wei, who had been separated from the troops for a long time, finally had a meal of the Fifth Army's own meal.

……

"Come, Junzao, Zhang Wei, eat more."

The so-called reception banquet, in fact, there are a total of five people on the whole table, Commander Du, Zhang Wei, Luo Youlun, chief of staff of the army, plus two division chiefs, although all the units of the Fifth Army are all concentrated, but the management is more strict, the busyness of the whole army is even more than before, the subordinate unit commanders, the division chiefs of the military department, section chiefs, and staff officers are all busy in full swing, training training, military discipline and desertion prevention, all of them are very busy, so this reception banquet, there are only three people who come to accompany them.

This is also what Zhang Wei and Commander Du want to see.

Commander Du and Zhang Wei are also hungry, the two of them throw off their cheeks is a meal, in the British territory every day to eat Western food, black tea, bread and other things, Chinese have a Chinese stomach, occasionally eat British things is not bad, but even three months of no one can stand it, Zhang Wei and Du Jun Commander especially want their own rice steamed buns and stews, the wind banquet, the two eat extraordinarily fragrant.

"Don't hide it from you, in the past three months, I and the military seat have eaten Western food every day, black tea, coffee, cream, as well as red wine and British food.

Zhang Wei took a bite of the steamed bun and sandwiched a pork stewed vermicelli with chopsticks, the taste was simply refreshing.

Luo Youlun asked curiously: "Junzao, what are the results of your three-month inspection this time?" ”

"Results, that's too much, you should ask Zhang Wei, when I was in Lashio, I had a meeting with the commander-in-chief of the Anglo-Burmese army, and Grand Master Zhang slapped the commander-in-chief of the British-Burmese army in front of everyone, and reprimanded him sharply, so unhappy."

Commander Du said after taking a sip of tea.

"Throw face at the commander of the Anglo-Burmese Army?" Luo Youlun looked at Zhang Wei and asked, and the two colonels at the same table also showed surprised eyes.

Zhang Wei looked unconcerned and shook his hand.

"Hehe, that old man deserves it, the British look down on us, our sincere battle plan, this white-bearded old man will give a word of no, look down on the squadron, look down on China, how can you bear it? I just ripped off the British Yankee's pants in front of him, then again, this so-called commander, that is, a temporary major general, don't look down on him too much, in short, national dignity, inviolable, hehe. ”

Luo Youlun didn't want to let go of Zhang Wei, and was anxious to ask the ins and outs of the matter.

"Tell me what the hell is going on."

Zhang Wei told Luo Youlun the words of Hu Dun, the commander-in-chief of the Anglo-Burmese Army at the meeting, about his disrespect for his own inspection team, and his own angry rebuke of Hu Dun.

After Zhang Wei finished speaking, Luo Youlun and the other two directors on the table all applauded the table, this matter involves the dignity of the country and the army, they are all soldiers, and they all have blood in their bones, Hu Dun's attitude made the three of them angry, and Zhang Wei's angry rebuke and Hu Dun's deflated appearance made Luo Youlun exhale with relief.

……

After traveling abroad for three months, Zhang Wei finally returned to the Fifth Army and came to the small town on the border of Yunnan, and the pace of the war, invisibly, was getting closer and closer.
