Section V Allies IV
After the war, it was always busy, and the military vehicles on the Yunnan-Burma Road shuttled day and night. The complexity of fighting outside the country is still there, and both the wounded and the dead have to be repatriated. As the gunfire outside Lacheng City disappeared, all the local overseas Chinese and residents near the border were mobilized, the conjoined bodies of 40,000 fallen soldiers were transported back to China, some of the more than 30,000 wounded remained in Lashio, and some were sent back to China, and the major hospitals in Nixi and Kunming were filled with the wounded of the expeditionary force.
After the destruction of the 22nd Division, Tanaka Shinichi slowed down the pace of the attack, Yu Chengwan held the Moya River Valley, when the 56th Division was completely annihilated, Tanaka Shinichi simply stopped the attack, even if Yu Chengwan retreated to Papani Mountain, Tanaka did not take another step forward, but took a defensive formation on the spot.
For a time, the wind and waves in Myanmar were calm, and the smoke of gunpowder could no longer be seen, and the sound of gunfire and artillery could not be heard. However, the high command of both sides was racing against time to gather strength, peeking into each other's weak links, and at the slightest negligence, they immediately showed their hidden fangs.
However, now the offensive and defensive momentum has been reversed, and the squadron has mastered the dominance of the battlefield. In addition to the two divisions that were completely annihilated, the troops under Commander Shinichi Tanaka also suffered heavy casualties, with more than 80,000 people in four divisions and regiments, and nearly half of them suffered casualties, of which the 35th Division lost more than half of them and had lost its combat effectiveness.
Looking at the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the 56th Division and the 22nd Division were annihilated, but the cost was also not small, among which the New Eighth Army, which suffered the largest casualties, also lost half of its combat effectiveness, and retreated to Wan Town to replenish; The losses of the 58th Army were close to 40%, and they remained in Lashio for reorganization; The 103rd Army and the 112th Army were in slightly better condition, with losses of more than 20%.
The expeditionary force had the advantage of mastering the battlefield, a large number of wounded were rescued, and the morale of the whole army was high as a result of the victory. In the case of waiting for the Japanese army to fail, the 103rd Army and the 112th Army moved forward and faced the Japanese army with a challenging attitude; The 66th Army in Dongcheng also took advantage of the victory and launched an offensive; Iida sent the 33rd Division from Tanaka's troops to move east to resist the counterattack of the 66th Army.
In the spring, Myanmar is full of rain instead of flowers, the sky seems to have been poked by cannonballs, the road is soaked in rain, and then run over by armored vehicles and trucks, it becomes muddy, and jeeps speed past, muddy water splashes, attracting soldiers on both sides to scold.
Zhuang Jihua in the car didn't seem to listen to the scolding from the wind and rain, his eyes were full of worry, and Wu Ziniu, who was sitting in front, was also silent, his eyes showed a fierce light, staring at the front viciously.
When the car arrived at the field hospital, Zhuang Jihua jumped out of the car without waiting for the car to stop, and stepped into the hospital in a few steps, Wu Ziniu's movements were also very fast. "Zhao Hanjie! Zhao Hanjie! Wu Ziniu's loud voice alarmed the entire hospital, Zhao Hanjie ran out of the ward, and Wu Ziniu rushed up and grabbed his chest. What about Yunfei? How did he get hurt? ”
"Wu Ziniu, let go!" Zhuang Jihua's stern voice came from behind him, Wu Ziniu paused, and slowly let go of his hand. Zhao Hanjie's expression was a little painful, but he was not nervous, looking at Zhuang Jihua and Wu Ziniu, he opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
Zhuang Jihua walked into the house, and the two soldiers in the house saw that Zhuang Jihua came in, and immediately stood up and saluted, and was about to speak, but Zhuang Jihua waved his hand and told them to shut up.
Song Yunfei was lying on the hospital bed, closed for two days, and plasma was hanging on the bracket next to him, Zhuang Jihua watched silently for a while, and then turned around and went out. Wu Ziniu and Zhao Hanjie followed behind them and went out.
"Commander" Zhao Hanjie said with some pain: "Captain Song was wounded on the way back, we encountered a small group of Japanese troops, the vanguard did not find it, this group of devils is very cunning" also caught the long jungle battle, we sacrificed three brothers, only to kill them all."
Song Yunfei Zhao Hanjie and the special forces have been operating behind enemy lines, after the annihilation of the 22nd Division, Zhuang Jihua ordered them to retreat and repair, but I didn't expect that Song Yunfei was actually carried back, the soldiers of the special forces in order to save him, two days and two nights of sleepless hurry, arrived in Lashio and sent directly to the hospital, Zhao Hanjie took a gun and forced the doctor to operate on him, the captain of the hospital guard team reported to the headquarters, Zhuang Jihua only knew, and then immediately rushed to the hospital.
"This is teaching" Zhuang Jihua didn't blame anyone, but his heart hurt, Song Yunfei and Wu Ziniu are not just his subordinates 7-, but brothers, as soon as he got the news that Song Yunfei was injured, he immediately left everything and ran to the hospital. "Commander." The dean who got the news hurriedly came, and Zhuang Jihua went straight to the point without talking nonsense: "How is Colonel Song's injury?" Who is his attending doctor? Is it dangerous? ”
The dean leaned sideways to reveal a middle-aged man behind him, the middle-aged man looked very capable, and his double Q was bright. The dean said: "This is Dr. Zhu Jun, he is the attending doctor of Colonel Song, and Dr. Zhu is the most skilled doctor in our hospital. ”
Zhuang Jihua turned to Zhu Jun, and Zhu Jun stepped forward and said: "Colonel Song's condition is not very stable, his dangerous period has not yet passed, fortunately, he sent it in a timely manner, and the treatment of the injury after being injured is proper, and it has not caused the injury to worsen, if the injury does not deteriorate within 24 hours, there is no infection, and there is no fever, the situation will improve." Zhu Jun and Dean obviously felt that Zhuang Jihua was angry, and then Zhuang Jihua sincerely held Zhu Jun's hand: "From Nanjing to Burma, Colonel Song led the team to attack behind enemy lines several times, and risked his life and death for the sake of the country, please take a lot of pain." ”
"Please rest assured, Commander, I will do my best, Colonel Song's physical fitness is very good, I believe he will be able to survive." Zhu Jun's words were very confident, when the special soldier's gun was put on his head, he was very angry, but after seeing Song Yunfei's injury, he immediately threw himself into the rescue, and now Zhuang Jihua's personal request made him realize that this wounded man was extraordinary.
Gong Xiuhua didn't know when he went to the ward, and then came out of the ward, his eyes were a little red, and then he stood silently behind Wu Ziniu, Shi Shaoxian came in from the outside, and whispered in Zhuang Jihua's ear: "Stilwell and Alexander have arrived, Deputy Commander Yu, please go back." "Let them wait." Zhuang Jihua was a little impatient, his face showed a look of anger, and his reply was unceremoniously, and the palace embroidery drew Shi Shaoxian aside.
Zhuang Jihua also asked the president about the hospital's medicines and doctors, and the president said that the medicine was sufficient, not enough, and the recent frequent problems in the troops were not adapted, and the rainy season in Burma could easily lead to an epidemic of dysentery.
"I have read the report and it has been sent to all units, but I hope you can come up with some measures, knowing that most of our soldiers have a low level of education, and they don't know how to prevent dysentery."
The dean nodded: "The commander reminded correctly, we will do it right away and make a manual to tell everyone how to prevent and treat." ”
Zhuang Jihua nodded, then entered the ward again, sat on the side of Song Yunfei's bed, and looked at him silently. The face was now unshaven, and its eye sockets were sunken and bloodless. Zhuang Jihua gently stroked his hand, and his palm was still relatively warm.
From 15 years to now, for more than ten years, except for the years when he was overseas, he has been following him "No matter how dangerous the situation is, they have all broken through together, and now he is lying here quietly."
"Good brother, hurry up and get better, the little devil hasn't been driven away by us yet, and it's not time to lie down yet." Zhuang Jihua said silently in his heart. Wu Ziniu didn't know what to do, "A pair of eyes were full of anxiety and helplessness. More than ten minutes later, Zhuang Jihua walked out of the ward, and he called Zhao Hanjie to his side: "How is the situation of the troops?" "The casualties are not very large," Zhao Hanjie said, "but the troops are very tired, and weapons and ammunition must be replenished as soon as possible."
Zhuang Jihua nodded, he beckoned Gong Xiuhua to his side, and said to her: "You stay in the hospital and come back after Yunfei's injury is fast and calm." Gong Xiuhua thought about it for a while, and agreed a little, Zhuang Jihua said to Zhao Hanjie again: "You have to return to the army as soon as possible, Yunfei is not here, you have to control the emotions of the troops, and the replenishment of troops must be carried out immediately." Here, two people can be left behind and under the command of the palace secretary. Speaking of this, his tone suddenly became very serious: "In addition, the news of Yunfei's injury is not allowed to be transmitted to Chongqing, understand?" ”
"Understood." Zhao Hanjie didn't say anything, his tone was a little low, Zhuang Jihua frowned, and couldn't help but criticize: "Lieutenant Colonel Zhao Hanjie" Zhao Hanjie was stunned, seeing Zhuang Jihua's serious face, his heart sank, and he heard Zhuang Jihua's stern voice: "Cheer up, the war is not over yet, how can you take your soldiers like this?" ”
"Yes, understood." Zhao Hanjie replied with a loud voice.
Zhuang Jihua nodded, he turned around and held Zhu Jun's hand tightly: "Please." ”
Zhu Jun nodded solemnly: "Please rest assured, commander." ”
When he arrived at the car, Shi Shaoxian rushed to the radio, impatiently talking about something, and when he saw Zhuang Jihua coming, Shi Shaoxian rushed to the microphone and said: "The commander is here, Chief of Staff, you can tell him directly." ”
Zhuang Jihua took the microphone, and he asked, "Chief of Staff Xiao, is there anything urgent?" ”
Xiao Yisu's voice came from the microphone: "Commander, Director Lin Wei, please go to the headquarters as soon as possible."
Zhuang Jihua sighed softly, Lin Wei was his top boss, and the expeditionary drought was commanded by the Kunming camp, but Lin Wei was very smart, he basically did not interfere with any specific command of the expeditionary force, only took care of logistics and supplies, and this time he came to Lashio on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek to labor the army. "What's the matter?" Zhuang Jihua knew that Lin Wei must have done something. "Stilwell and Alexander brought a battle plan, and Director Lin seemed inclined to approve of it." Xiao Yisu's voice suddenly lowered a few degrees. "Haven't they already told them that it's not the time." Zhuang Jihua is in a bad mood now, and his tone is very rough. "Commander, you'll know when you come back." Xiao Yisu's tone was filled with helplessness.
Zhuang Jihua threw away the microphone, turned around and boarded his jeep, and then stretched out his head and said to the dean and Zhu Jun, "Please." The dean stepped forward: "Commander, don't worry."
