Chapter 238: Allied Aircraft
Chapter 238: Allied Aircraft
The sun in the sky seemed to never set, and the vicious sunlight pierced Zhang Ziwen's back through the tattered military uniform.
Feeling that his ankle did not touch the grass, Zhang Ziwen immediately squatted down and scraped off the baby's fist-sized leech with a leaf.
"You see that this leech eats a lot of brains and intestines, it would be better if it could eat."
Lu Wenqing had to remind Zhang Ziwen.
"Commander, a brother of the new 22nd Division ate it the day before yesterday, and it was gone that night."
Zhang Ziwen threw the leech into the distance, which was a pity for a big piece of meat.
In the past few days, I have eaten a lot of plantains, and my mouth is full of sourness, and I haven't eaten meat for several days.
Zhang Ziwen misses the python he often saw when he first entered Myanmar, one is enough for a company.
"Commander, I still have a piece of jerky here, you pad it first, maybe you can hit something today."
Lu Wenqing was not sure when he said this, because he was too hungry, and the brothers from the other troops kept rushing forward.
Scared away the prey, the elephants in the plantain grove were not visible, let alone anything else.
In order to save Du Luming's life, the teaching team had to give them a share of what they had hit.
When I looked up at the sky, I saw that there seemed to be an eagle in the sky.
It's really unlucky, Zhang Ziwen, who is only a vegetarian, has to get him down for a good meal.
"Keep it, who really can't hold it and eat it again."
Lu Wenqing put the coveted jerky into his arms, otherwise he would be gone after a while.
Zhang Ziwen's headquarters now has less than 100 people left, and heavy documents have long been turned to ashes in the rainforest.
The radio stations were also buried in the ground, and many of the brothers threw away the food guys.
Zhang Ziwen continued to move forward, and suddenly heard the roar of the aircraft engine in the sky.
"Lying down, air raid ............"
The whole team lay down and watched the huge planes fly in the sky.
The eye can see that the shape of the airplane is completely different from that of Japan, gray color.
"Commander, this looks like an Allied plane."
Zhang Ziwen's eyes narrowed slightly, it was really an allied plane.
"Give the elder a grenade, and the brothers on the side will open it for me."
He took the grenade from Xiao Luo's hand and threw it out of the team with all his strength.
Bang~, the huge explosion made Zhang Ziwen feel familiar and excited.
You must see, the lives of these tens of thousands of brothers depend on you.
The plane circled over the sky for a week and flew back again, a package falling from the sky.
"Bring me that package back, and whoever dares to grab it will send him to the west." Lu Wenqing sent someone to bring Commander Du over. ”
The plane flew to the west mercilessly, and Zhang Ziwen didn't know what was in the box.
Don't be a gun or ammunition, even a box of biscuits.
Zhang Ziwen heard the gunshots in a state of anxiety, which was inevitable, and it was the same if Du Luming went up.
After nearly two months of long journey, who will let go after being hungry for many days.
Hearing an explosion, Zhang Ziwen couldn't sit still.
"Lu Wenqing of the dog day, what is this for, Rao Xiangyun, you can show me."
Zhang Ziwen took out Browning, who had not fired a bullet for nearly two months, to prevent accidents.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Rao Xiangyun ran back.
"Commander, the Allies have airdropped a radio station and a handful of medicines."
"Gather the medicines, let Mr. Long take a look, and you immediately start to see if you can contact the outside world. Directly using the public channel, the devil did not catch up so quickly. ”
Rao Xiangyun ran back again, and Zhang Ziwen's heart settled down.
Since the Allies dropped the radio, it proved that the radio was usable, and the exact location could be determined.
As long as the Allies still have some humanity, dropping a little supplies can take the rest out of Savage Mountain.
"Commander, the military headquarters of the Fifth Army is here, and Commander Du has called you over."
Zhang Ziwen unloaded the gun before walking over, and now that he has contacted the allies, he does not plan to be the king of the mountain, and it is the right thing to do to return power to Du Luming.
Walking to Du Luming's stretcher, Zhang Ziwen had to admire him, and walked alive for a month with his injured body.
More than 20 people died in the guard company, and the commander of the guard company died of illness.
"Commander Du, don't worry, my staff officer has already grabbed the airdrop supplies, there is a radio station inside, and we are trying to contact the allies. There are also some medicines in it, which will be brought over after being examined by the medical staff. ”
After listening to Zhang Ziwen's words, Du Luming opened his mouth with difficulty and said: "Xiao Qin, go and use the radio to contact the allies, the code book is in my box, change the previous document and send it to the chairman."
Zhang Ziwen was right, and he didn't have anything to do with himself.
"Commander Du, retire from your humble position."
Du Luming did not respond, Zhang Ziwen only acquiesced to him.
The radio station was handed over to the headquarters of the Fifth Army, including some of the guns that the guerrilla detachment had brought back with its own efforts.
"Commander, listen to the people from the Fifth Army headquarters, tomorrow the Yankees and the British will airdrop supplies down."
Zhang Ziwen also knows, but it's hard to say how much he can get.
"Tomorrow we will take part of the food and part of the medicine. We have all survived in front, but it really can't be done, so we turned to the north and broke through from Xikang to return home. ”
It's not that Zhang Ziwen is too careful, but that he embarrassed Liao Yaoxiang in the Savage Mountain and became a villain.
Out of the mountain, Du Luming didn't say anything, and it was strange that no one cleaned himself up.
If Anlan Dai was here, the situation would be completely different.
If it weren't for the damn Luo Zhuoying who put himself along, he would have returned to China with the two hundred divisions.
The charter was set by Rao Xiangyun and Lu Wenqing, and in order to ensure the emergency, Tang Song and others were brought back overnight.
They are the only troops that maintain their combat effectiveness, even if Liao Yaoxiang gets the supplies and wants to turn his face, then he has to see if his fists are hard enough.
An An'an slept soundly all night, and the next morning someone from the military headquarters came to inform him that he would stop advancing today.
This is waiting for the supplies to come, four or five thousand people went out of Guizhou to Burma, and now there are only more than 1,000 people left.
March still couldn't hold it anymore and died.
Mao Wenguang was driven crazy by himself and committed suicide with a gun.
Wen Zhijun, an old man who was steady, dared to fight, and followed Zhang Ziwen all the way to Pingjiang silently, also died.
Those who are old and injured are basically dead.
"Why did I come out of here?"
"Kill the enemy to serve the country and expel the Japanese invaders."
"We were defeated, and were driven into the mountains by the Japanese army, where we ate the bark for two months. Are you convinced? ”
"Unconvinced ............"
"I'm not convinced, right, the Allies will drop supplies in a while, and we will be able to eat enough and get out of the mountains in a short time. The Japanese army is also making a detour to our exit, what should you do? ”
"Kill ............"
The U.S. military dropped 350 packs of rice and 7 packs of medicine in Xinpingyang.
The 5th Army mustered up its courage and continued its advance, finally reaching the vicinity of Ledo in the eastern Indian state of Assam on 25 July.
At this time, it had been two and a half months since the retreat of the troops from India and Dao to the north on 10 May, during which time it could truly be described as "deep and barren," and the officers and men had traversed the savage mountains with a depth of 480 kilometers, and the officers and men had endured all kinds of hardships and dangers and suffered heavy losses.
The new 22nd Division had 9,000 men when it entered Burma. There were 2,000 casualties in each battle, and as many as 4,000 casualties during the retreat, which was more than double the combat attrition. When they arrived in India, there were only 3,000 men left in the division, only one-third of what they had when they entered Burma.
