The change of equipment of the troops was carried out very secretly and quickly, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner according to the previous plan. Yan'an has basically confirmed that there is no problem, and Chen Jinghui has left Wuhan for several days in the blink of an eye. In order not to arouse suspicion from the outside world, Chen Jinghui took a plane back to Wuhan on the evening of the change of uniforms.

"Finally back, vigorously, check it out."

Standing at the door of his residence in Wuhan, Chen Jinghui took a deep breath, but he did not enter immediately, but asked Li Dali to go in and check on the side. Although the guards here have not been evacuated, for the sake of safety, it is better to be careful.

"Commander, no problem." Half an hour later, Li Dali came back to report.

"Well, everyone is tired these days, let's go back and rest!"

Entering the house, Chen Jinghui stretched his waist, and then while going upstairs, he ordered Li Dali and the other guards who had been busy with him not to continue to follow.

Although it was only past nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Jinghui seemed to be very sleepy, and fell asleep on the bed. He didn't wake up until about three o'clock in the morning. He looked at the time, then heard voices outside, and opened the door.

"Why don't you guys rest?" He saw two guards walking in the hallway with water glasses, whispering to each other.

"Commander, we're on duty in the communications room tonight." The guard replied.

"Is there anything special tonight then?" Chen Jinghui asked.

"Commander Hui, there is no report of any urgent matter yet." The guard replied.

"Since there's nothing important and it's not too early, let's all go back and rest! It's not worth the night tonight. Chen Jinghui said.

"Yes, Commander, let's tidy up and then go to rest." The guard said.

"Forget it, you guys are tired too, go down to sleep! I'll clean up, and I'll sleep anyway. Chen Jinghui said.

"Commander, how can this be done, if Brother Li knows, he will have to pull out our skin." The two guards said in fear.

"Alright, go down to sleep! I'll talk to him myself tomorrow. ”

After Chen Jinghui finished speaking, he walked directly to the communication room, and the two guards saw Chen Jinghui enter the communication room and began to pack up the documents, the two rolled their eyes, then glanced at each other, and then turned back to their room in two steps, until they heard the sound of Chen Jinghui locking the door, and they fell asleep.

Knock knock

At eight o'clock the next morning, before Chen Jinghui got up, Li Dali came to Chen Jinghui's door in a hurry and knocked on the door suddenly.

"Who! Don't let people sleep early in the morning. Chen Jinghui was woken up and asked angrily.

"The commander is not good, something big has happened." Li Dali shouted anxiously.

"What's the matter, say. What can happen in the morning? ”

Chen Jinghui opened the door, then rubbed his eyes and looked at Li Dali, and lazily asked Li Dali why he was in such a hurry.

"Commander, just now the Ministry of Defense called you to come over immediately, saying that the expeditionary force has lost contact." Li Dali said anxiously.

"What! The expeditionary force lost contact. You go to prepare the car, immediately go to the Ministry of Defense. ”

Chen Jinghui didn't care about Li Dali's expression just now, but when he heard that the expeditionary force had lost contact, he immediately sobered up and began to get anxious. This is hundreds of thousands of troops, and it is fatal to lose contact suddenly.

"How could this happen, what the hell is going on." Chen Jinghui walked outside in his coat and asked Li Dali.

"Commander, I don't know what's going on, I just got up in the morning and received a call from the Ministry of Defense." Li replied.

"Forget it, let's talk about it in the Ministry of Defense." Chen Jinghui got dressed and got into the car directly, and then went straight to the Ministry of Defense.

"Minister Wei, what the hell is going on?" Chen Jinghui hurriedly felt the Ministry of Defense and immediately inquired about the situation.

"Deputy Commander, you can be regarded as here, since six o'clock in the morning we received a telegram from the expeditionary force commander He asking for more troops, until now we have not been able to contact us, and the radio station over there is silent." Minister of Health said.

"That is to say, from six o'clock in the morning to now, for nearly three hours, there is no news from hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces." Chen Jinghui asked.

"Yes, the deputy commander-in-chief, they asked for more troops, compared to what kind of big war they encountered, the loss of troops is relatively large. But even so, it is impossible to lose contact suddenly, and no one knows exactly what happened during this period. Minister Wei said.

"Don't talk nonsense, continue to contact the expeditionary force, be sure to get in touch." Chen Jinghui gave an order in a hurry.

Tick tick tick

The communications corps kept trying to get in touch with the expeditionary force, and the messages were constantly being sent. But another hour passed, and there was still no news, and there was no recovery.

"Well, no, I can't get in touch." Chen Jinghui asked anxiously.

"No, the radio station over there has been turned off and cannot be contacted." Said the communications officer.

"Keep in touch, be sure to get in touch." Chen Jinghui shouted.

"Deputy commander, the expeditionary force has more than 200,000 troops, if it disappears like this, we can't think of the commander and the people of the country." Minister Wei said anxiously.

"I can't get in touch now, and I don't know what the expeditionary force is talking about. What the hell did He Yingqin do, hundreds of thousands of troops, and let him disappear. Chen Jinghui complained about He Yingqin.

"Deputy commander, it's useless to blame anyone now, you have to quickly find a way to contact the expeditionary force." Minister of Health said.

"Contact, it's easy for you to say, now the radio station over there has been in a silent state, and it hasn't been turned on at all, how can we get in touch, is it possible that I will send another army over to find it." Chen Jinghui said.

"What then. The expeditionary force is to assist the British in fighting the devils in Southeast Asia, and if this news is known to the British, they will definitely ask the Americans to ask for the guilt, after all, what we eat is provided by the Americans. Minister Wei said.

"So what, he Americans have the ability to come by themselves, so why ask us for help. You have to worry about this, you might as well think carefully about whether there is a chance that something will happen to them. Chen Jinghui said very unhappily.

"Yes, yes, yes, I think about it, I think about it." Minister Wei began to rack his brains to think about the contents of all the telegrams from the expeditionary force in the past few days, and he really couldn't think of them, so he directly looked for the telegrams and read them. But no matter what he thought, how he checked the previous telegram, he didn't find anything suspicious.

"Dali, immediately send a report to Mr. Peng of the Eighth Army, asking them if they have found any traces of the expeditionary force on the northwest border. At the same time, he asked Commander Chen Cheng and Chen of the Southwest Theater to pay close attention to the situation on the border and report it immediately if he found any traces of the expeditionary force. Chen Jinghui commanded.

"Yes, I'll go right away." Li Dali left, and then sent a telegram to this area.

"Have you been contacted?" After Li Dali left, Chen Jinghui came to the signal soldier to ask.

"Back to the deputy commander, I haven't been contacted yet." The communications officer replied.

"Keep in touch, non-stop calling." Chen Jinghui commanded.

"Yes"

Tick tick tick

According to Chen Jinghui's instructions, the signal corps continued to contact the expeditionary force and kept sending messages to it, hoping to get in touch. But to everyone's disappointment, no matter how many inquiries they sent, the other party always didn't turn on the phone, and there was no response at all.

Two days have passed, and the expeditionary force still has no news at all, and no one knows whether the 200,000 troops are dead or alive, and they are like evaporating from the world, with no information at all, and no trace is known.

"Is there any news from the Eighth Army?"

But Chen Jinghui was unwilling, he was still unwilling to give up, so he continued to ask Mr. Peng, who was guarding the northwest border, about the situation over there, hoping to get a little good news.

"Deputy commander-in-chief, the Eighth Army called back to say that during the two days they patrolled the border, they did not find any trace of the expeditionary force." Minister of Health said.

"What about Commander Chen Cheng's side! Also have news? Chen Jinghui continued to ask.

"Back to the deputy commander, Commander Chen Cheng called back and said that in the past two days, they have also sent a large number of manpower to patrol the border, and no trace has been found." Minister of Health said.

"Have they checked so many forests on the southwest border? Especially the old man's mountain on the border of Yunnan, has anyone been sent to check. Chen Jinghui asked.

"Deputy commander, that's an old man's mountain, don't say endure it, the beasts will definitely die if they go in. There was a primeval forest far away, and there were so many poisonous snakes and beasts in it that no one dared to enter it. Minister Wei's face immediately changed when he heard the old man's mountain, and he hurriedly explained to Chen Jinghui.

"What about poisonous snakes and beasts, the expeditionary force is hundreds of thousands of troops, and they have guns in their hands, why can't they go in, let Chen Cheng immediately send someone to investigate." Chen Jinghui shouted.

"Deputy commander, you dissipate your anger, Yunnan and Burma are next to each other, and Burma has long fallen, even if the expeditionary force wants to come back, it is impossible to go there, because to reach Burma, you have to pass through the devil blockade area of Manchester City, and it is impossible to have no movement at all." Minister of Health said.

"Then you said they went there, ah. You're talking about it! They went there. Chen Jinghui suddenly yelled.

"Deputy commander, you are angry, now everyone is very anxious, after all, this is our Huaxia army to fight abroad. But it's useless to be anxious now, so I can only continue to contact, hoping to be able to get in touch. Minister Wei said.

"What's the use of continuing to contact, immediately send a report to Commander-in-Chief Zhu of the Eighth Army, and ask him to immediately send someone into India to look for it, I want to see people alive and corpses when I die." Chen Jinghui shouted.

"Yes, immediately send a report to Commander Zhu and send the order to the deputy commander." The Minister of Health shouted at the signal corps.

Tick tick tick

The telegram was soon sent, and then everyone continued to wait here for news, and the communications corps continued to contact.

"Report, Commander-in-Chief Zhu called back, and the people sent to India came back and said that no trace of the expeditionary force had been found, and none of the areas where they were previously stationed had been found."

For another two days, Commander-in-Chief Zhu called back and said that the people sent out had found nothing. These Chen Jinghui and Minister Wei were dumbfounded, and they didn't find anything. I haven't been able to contact here, it's been four days, and there is no news at all. Hundreds of thousands of expeditionary forces disappeared like this, without a trace, without a trace.
