Woo......"

At Jeonju Station, a military train drove out of the station, the gray and black carriages, the front of the carriage was covered with camouflage nets, the side of the carriage was painted with the logo of the military train, four Type 24 heavy machine guns equipped with anti-aircraft tripods were secured on the carriage, and the Type 24 heavy machine guns equipped with ring sights were held high in the sky.

At the sound of the whistle, the train ran at high speed on the railway line, and a faint smoke erupted from the front of the locomotive.

Zhang Wei, Commander Du, was sitting on this inconspicuous military train at this time, this was originally a military train transporting military supplies, the train was loaded with military rations and uniforms, just passing through Quanzhou, Zhang Wei and Commander Du communicated with the station, and then took this train, ready to take the military train to the assembly area.

The members of the China-India-Burma-Malaysia military expedition came from different sources, and most of them were high-ranking officials, and the personnel in the delegation were distributed in various places, and the scheduled assembly place of the delegation was in Kunming, Yunnan, and after the inspection group was assembled, they would set off from Kunming to Burma, and Zhang Wei and Commander Du were going from Guangxi to Kunming, Yunnan, and there was no other convenient means of transportation, only stuffy tankers.

Don't even think about taking an airplane, Japanese planes often fly over Guangxi, if they really run into Japanese military planes, Zhang Wei and Commander Du don't have to go to the inspection group, just wait for the people of the Fifth Army to collect the corpses.

Zhang Wei and Commander Du couldn't afford to gamble anyway, so they could only rely on constantly transferring to military trains and rushing to Kunming by land.

In the carriage of the front car, Zhang Wei, Commander Du and others were feasting in the carriage, in addition to Chief Du and Zhang Wei, there was also a guard squad of Chief Du, and two accompanying captains and adjutant officers served as staff officers, counting a total of 16 people from Chief Du and Zhang Wei, the delegation also had requirements for the number of inspection personnel, and each person involved in the inspection could not bring too many followers.

The guards were responsible for the basic vigilance, and the two captains, adjutants, and staff officers, that is, those who did some recording and hands-on work, Zhang Wei was the one who could really play a staff and assisting role.

In addition, there were several officers in the carriage who were escorting supplies.

In addition to chatting about things, sleeping, that is, eating and drinking, the escort officer on the train learned that Commander Du was going to take the train, which was to compliment Commander Du and Zhang Wei constantly, and even the food and drink along the way were prepared in advance.

These escorted officers are all lieutenants and captains from the army, and they have been doing the work of escorting materials in the rear for a long time, not to mention the lieutenant general of Commander Du, who is Zhang Wei, the rank of lieutenant colonel, and the officers who escort are usually not seen much, and the ranks of the two are rare officials for these people, so they specially prepared food early on the train, and everyone in the guards of Commander Du, Zhang Wei, and the army commander has a share.

Roast chicken, peanuts, and a few dishes of lo-mei and cooked food, the whole carriage was full of people eating with their mouths wide open, and a hot aroma filled the carriage.

"Our front-line officers are just different from others, we have to change trains repeatedly to go to an inspection group, and the other senior officers will fly over as soon as they are on a plane, and there are military aircraft to escort them." Commander Du said after throwing two peanuts into his mouth.

"Military seat, take the car to get tired, if this plane is loaded with the Japanese plane, then it will be all over, I remember last year's dog day bombing, it is said that the entire city of Wuzhou was bombed, and now there is no our fighter plane in Guangxi, at this time taking a plane is tantamount to gambling on life." Zhang Wei clutched a gnawed chicken wing and smiled bitterly.

"Back then, when we fought Kunlun Pass, our army could still get reinforcements from fighters and bombers in Guangxi, but now, even if you take a train, you have to carefully engage in air defense, and you are aggrieved."

Sitting for a long time to carry grain and be loaded into the military train, and the pain of sitting in the green car for a long time in later generations is about the same, and the conditions are even worse than the green car, because this is a military train that pulls materials, the function of transporting goods is the main, the condition of the carriage is very low, the train is constantly shaking, and people are also shaking in the car, and after a long time, the whole body has a sore back, and the shaking commander Du also has to complain.

Zhang Wei said: "Military seat, the air force of our army is now concentrated in the direction of Chongqing, and Guangxi is really unable to catch it, just like that, I heard that Chongqing was also bombed very badly, and it could not withstand the indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese army, and the people suffered heavy casualties. ”

As a matter of fact, as early as three years ago, that is, in 1938, Japanese planes flew into Guangxi many times to bomb the territory of Guangxi, and so far, Japanese planes have invaded Guangxi more than 1,000 times, and in Guangxi, the air defense forces of the Chinese army, at first, there were fighters of the Soviet Air Volunteer Corps and the Nationalist Air Force that clashed with the Japanese army.

However, up to the present time in the war, the losses of the Nationalist air force have been increasing day by day, and it is impossible to guarantee even the air defense safety of Chongqing, the capital of Chongqing, and last year it suffered heavy losses in the air battle of Bishan, and all the limited air defense forces have been shrunk and concentrated on defense, and the air defense in Guangxi can only be defended by a pitiful number of antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns.

"Weak countries fight, that's the only way. It still needs flesh and blood to fight," Chief Du lamented.

Zhang Wei: "There is no way, you can't build planes by yourself, the more things are fighting, the less things are fighting, the combat effectiveness and air defense will only shrink, when you hit Kunlun Pass, it happened to be the peak period of Soviet and Russian aid, just like that, the fighters of our air force will not reinforce the army, the bombers will drop a few bombs, the fighters will circle twice, and the rest will depend on our infantry to fight by themselves." Now even Soviet and Russian aid is decreasing day by day, if the battle in the direction of the Yunnan-Burma Road cannot be fought decently, and the aid materials from outside cannot be brought in, the national army will only become more and more passive on the battlefield. ”

"This is true, the meaning of the above, our Fifth Army will be the main force of the future battle in western Yunnan and Burma, lacking gasoline and artillery shells imported from abroad, and the unique heavy equipment of our Fifth Army is scrap iron, so look at it, the Yunnan-Burma line and our Fifth Army are really closely related, once the battle is not fought well, the chariots and cars of our Fifth Army will bear the brunt, and I will not tell you that I originally had great hopes for the war situation in Burma, but a few days ago you made a phone call in front of me and the Senza, so that I now have no bottom in my heart." Commander Du said.

Zhang Wei was silent.

In the carriage, the guards and staff adjutants were still happily eating and drinking, while Zhang Wei and Commander Du had already drifted to western Yunnan, full of worries about the future war......
