Kawabe Shozo did not live to return to the camp after being captured. Because he had been shot several times and was bleeding profusely, and there was no better medical facility on board the helicopter to replenish his blood, he died before the plane reached Yangon.

Zhu Jingxing was extremely remorseful and annoyed, because if he hadn't shot him a few times at that time, I am afraid that such a situation would not have occurred. He said he could have tried to capture him alive at the time.

However, Huang Zheng was relieved: "What is this? For me, the lives of our brothers are more important than the lives of any Japanese devils. The river is swinging its knife three times, and we can't just stop it. We cannot trade our brother's life for his life. Isn't this your own blood staining the red crown on your head? Don't worry, I'll explain this to my superiors, all you have to do is take good care of your injuries. ”

When Huang Zheng said this, Zhu Jingxing was relieved a lot. He asked, "What are you going to do with it?" ”

"What else can be done? Send it back to Tonggu, and then hold a grand funeral for the three old devils by the river, and announce it to all countries in the world. As for the rest, they will take advantage of the victory to pursue and drive the Japanese devils out of Burma. ”

"That's great!" Hearing Huang Zheng say this, Zhu Jingxing felt a little better in his heart.

Huang Zheng smiled, "Don't think about it so much, I'll send someone to send you to Tonggu to recuperate in a few days, and I'll come back when the injury heals." By the way, after the end of the Burma campaign, the leave owed to you will also be returned to you, and I will find Division Commander Dai Anlan and ask them to give you a holiday. ”

"That, I'm ......" Zhu Jingxing nodded, and when he wanted to say something, the words stopped when they came to his mouth.

Huang Zheng cleared his attention, and he smiled heartily: "Don't worry, your special service battalion has come out on top in this battle." Even if he didn't bring Kawabe Shozo back alive, it would be a great achievement. I have made a note of this, and I will report it to the Commander-in-Chief himself when I come back. ”

"I'm not talking about this, I'm talking about the bounty that was cashed out before......" Zhu Jingxing said a little embarrassed, but in front of Huang Zheng, there is nothing to hide, this person is Huang Zhengzhong's brother, and he has always treated him as a big brother.

"Don't worry, catch the riverside Zhengsan, the bounty will naturally not be less, five thousand fiat currency, I will apply to the headquarters when I go back." After Huang Zheng finished speaking, he patted his chest again and said, "Don't worry, it's all wrapped up in me, with the eldest brother here, you don't have to worry about anything." ”

Zhu Jingxing nodded with satisfaction.

"Take care of your injuries." Then Huang Zheng walked out.

As soon as he walked to the door, the adjutant said with some disdain: "This Zhu Jingxing is really, at this time, he is still concerned about his rewards and bounties, I think, this kid just regrets that he should have sent someone to hold down the riverside Zhengsan at that time." ”

Huang Zheng turned his head and glanced at the adjutant, "Xiao Li, your family background is superior, and it is certainly worthy of respect to serve the country in the army without caring about military exploits and the like, but those with average family backgrounds, when serving the country in the army, will inevitably be mixed with personal expectations and careful thinking, for such officers and soldiers, we can't morally require them to be selfless and dedicated, not to mention that there are no selfless people." ”

Adjutant Li's face turned a little red after saying a few words.

Huang Zheng continued: "Zhu Jingxing is a top student of Southwest Associated University, he can win a good future without joining the army, and he can stand up at the most critical time for the country and the nation, which is enough." Also, not everyone is like your parents, who are high-ranking officials in Nanjing, and can eat and drink without worry. ”

Although Xiao Li was reluctant to accept Huang Zheng's words, he didn't dare to refute it. He had no choice but to nod yes.

On the same day, Huang Zheng drafted a telegram to the headquarters, giving a detailed account of the performance of Zhu Jingxing and others in the special service battalion, and then reported it.

As everyone knows, hundreds of miles away, in the Mandalay headquarters, Sun Liren, commander of the expeditionary force, Lin Wei, chief of staff, and many senior generals unanimously decided to report to Nanjing for merit, and ask Zhao Zheng, the commander of the Yangon Campaign, that is, Huang Zheng, to be the first to take credit.

"This battle was not only beautiful, it was simply unexpected. I didn't expect Huang ...... Zhao Zheng, this kid has such a lively brain in war, it's very good! Very good! Sun Liren pinched the battle report sent from the front line and smiled from ear to ear.

Chief of Staff Lin Wei also said happily: "Yes, this battle Zhao Zheng fought very beautifully, so he took the initiative passively, not only directly reversed the sinister situation of the siege of Yangon, but even reversed the situation of the entire Burma war. ”

"That's nature." "This battle is the first credit, and no one can say anything." …… All the generals also chimed in.

"By the way, Commander, the body of Kawabe Shozo has been transported, what are you going to do with it?" Lin Wei asked again.

"Buried, buried!" Sun Liren blurted out.

"Have you already consulted Nanjing?" Lin Wei asked again.

"Well, after asking for instructions verbally, Nanjing said that it agreed to bury, but it had to be hyped up. It was a hot day in Myanmar, and we didn't have refrigeration equipment, so we hurriedly buried the matter. Besides, our army is known for its civilization, and although Kawabe Shozo is a devil, he is still a general in the end, and a thick burial should also be done. Sun Li is humane.

Everyone agreed with him.

At this time, someone asked, "Do you need to ask Stilwell?" ”

Sun Liren thought for a while and said, "Please don't need it, go back and inform him." He is now watching the battle on the Dagon front, and he doesn't think he will have time to come and participate. ”

After agreeing on this, the General Staff came up with a new round of operational plans, requiring all units on the Tonggu front to attack on all fronts and defeat the Japanese army in one go.

Sun Liren said that this matter does not need to be too detailed, Dai Anlan is a general who can fight, and he will launch an attack at the right time.

After this incident, everyone began to sign the list of military exploits reported to Nanjing, and there was almost no suspense, Zhang Qifu, an intelligence officer of the Reserve Cadre Department, and Zhu Jingxing, the commander of the special agent battalion who was born and died, could only be relegated to the second position, and Zhao Zheng was naturally the first merit in this Yangon campaign.

The reason for this is naturally tacitly understood by all the senior generals, everyone knows that Huang is the son of Huang Ke, and besides, he is the front-line commander of this Yangon campaign, and he himself is the first soldier, so it is reasonable to ask them to do so.

On the contrary, if you don't do this, it will cause a lot of trouble, and the people in Nanjing are not stupid, even if they don't report like this, in the end, the first credit will still be on Huang Zheng's head, why bother to find it yourself?

Kawabe Shozo would not have thought that after his death, he would be able to stir up the expeditionary force, and even the Nanjing side, and the problems exposed in this are self-evident.

In any case, Kawabe Shozo's death brought great excitement to the expeditionary force, the Chinese military and civilians, and even the entire Allied army.

The next day, newspapers in more than a dozen countries, including China, the United States, and the United Kingdom, carried the news that Shozo Kawabe, the commander of the Japanese Burmese Army, had been killed on the battlefield in Burma.

Newspapers and media in many countries in China and the United States have declared that he is the highest-ranking general killed in a fascist country since the Japanese army began the war.

In response to this, the Tokyo side took a-for-tat, declaring that Shozo Kawabe would be a model samurai who committed suicide and was loyal to the emperor, calling on the whole of Japan to learn from him and be loyal to the emperor, and declaring that they would definitely take back his body and put it in the Yasukuni Shrine.

On battlefields all over China, loudspeakers broadcast back and forth in Japanese and Chinese the news of the killing of Shozo Kawabe and the defeat of the Japanese army in Burma; The Japanese fought back, declaring in a high-profile manner that Kawabe Shozo was loyal to himself.

The back-and-forth struggle between the two sides on the front line of public opinion is no less than the war on the front line, but anyone with a little brain will get an important news from the information on both sides, that is, Kawabe Shozo is really dead, and he died in the battle with the Chinese army.

What a terrible thing this is, Kawabe Masasan is a general, and he leads hundreds of thousands of brave troops under his command, and he is invincible in Southeast Asia.

But such a fierce general was killed by the Chinese army during the battle, and it was not an accident, but a targeted raid.

What a terrible thing this is, because if the safety of even a general cannot be guaranteed, let alone the life of an ordinary soldier?

Shanghai, No. 76 Jisfeier Road, Ouyang Huizi, who was investigating Wang Maocai and others' embezzlement of fiat currency, was surprised to hear the news and slipped the telephone receiver from her hand, and then, after reading the internal documents sent, she was annoyed and angry, grabbed the * in front of her, and smashed the blue and white porcelain ornaments on the rosewood table with a knife.

"Yaga! Yaga! Ouyang Huizi shouted frantically, and at this time on the streets of Shanghai, the Japanese officers and soldiers and ronins in the wine house were all drunk, and then gathered in groups to sing songs full of sorrow; These Japanese are not only remembering the so-called army generals, but also thinking of themselves in the sadness of the death of the rabbit and the fox.

They began to pity their tragic fate, some vented their anger on the surrounding Chinese, a few drunken Japanese soldiers and Japanese ronin took to the streets, waved and beat when they saw the Chinese, and some even set fire to some surrounding houses and shops, provoking the people to complain and hate the Japanese to the core.

However, most people still dare to be angry and dare not speak, so they have to scold the Japanese viciously when there is no one behind their backs, or throw away and smash the Japanese things at home, and secretly burn the plaster flags issued by the Japanese to vent their hatred.

As a result, Zhu Jingxing, who captured Shozo Riverside alive, his special service battalion, and the armed helicopter brigade began to gradually enter the world's field of vision, and this kind of combat mode in which the armed helicopter cleared away obstacles, the helicopter was airborne, and the special squad carried out fixed-point strikes became the object of study by various countries.
