It all started in 1938.

That year, not long after the Japanese entered China, China at that time was quite backward in terms of military equipment.

Not only the Chinese understand the truth of the cold lips, but also some small surrounding countries, so the neighboring countries bordering China at that time more or less sponsored anti-Japanese resources.

At that time, there was no road, and in order to receive third-party materials, in early 1938, the construction of the Yunnan-Burma Highway began.

At that time, 200,000 people in 28 counties in western Yunnan, inspired by the belief in resisting Japan and saving the country, brought their own rations and tools, slept in the open air, split stones and drilled rocks, lasted 10 months, and built the Yunnan-Burma Highway with their hands and blood and sweat on the rapids and rapids of the high mountains and valleys, along the mountains and fields of western Yunnan and northern Myanmar for 990 kilometers.

At that time, in order to build this road, countless people died due to blasting, falling rocks, falling into rivers, heavy pressure of earth and rocks, and malignant dysentery.

Opened to traffic at the end of 1938, the Yunnan-Burma Highway became the blood vessel of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

This is a historic event for China, but not for Japan. The Japanese had a great appetite, China was only their first target, in order to cut off China's third-party material aid, the Japanese quickly occupied the Burmese region, at the same time, the northwest of Burma is close to India, the Japanese plan is to annex India again with Burma as the cornerstone after swallowing China.

At that time, Burma was a colony of the British, and the British were naturally very annoyed by the occupation of the colony by small Japan, so they reached an agreement with China and signed an agreement with China on the "Sino-British Agreement on the Mutual Defense of the Yunnan-Burma Road", and established an alliance with China.

At that time, the Japanese army sent 60,000 people to invade Burma, and after all, Britain was far away and the garrison was insufficient, and Japan was very advanced in all aspects at that time, and entering the relatively backward Southeast Asian region was like a tiger and a wolf entering a flock.

Under such conditions, China immediately organized the 'Republic of China Expeditionary Force' to fight in Burma and fight against Japan together with the British army. The Battle of Yunnan-Burma was China's first overseas campaign after the First Sino-Japanese War, and it was of great historical significance, but unfortunately, it was a very tragic battle. China invested more than 400,000 sick forces before and after, with a total of nearly 200,000 casualties, before finally achieving a tragic victory and blocking the Japanese strategy of vainly trying to invade China from the rear of the northwest.

And this is an old man who is many years old, and he was a member of the Chinese Expeditionary Force back then.

That battle was fought for three years, the harsh environment was backward with weapons, and the first people used hand-to-hand combat guns and ammunition, one group after another, in the process, out of strategic needs, there were several retreats.

The old man who asked us to do things, called Song Feng, when he participated in the Yunnan-Burma Campaign, he was not very old, only eighteen years old, many people joined the army at that time, in fact, just to make a living, Song Feng was only 15 years old when he really joined the army, but he lied about his age.

In the later stages of the campaign, news of the retreat came, when the Japanese occupied the Yunnan-Burma road, and the equipment of the British army was delayed, so Song Feng's group was trapped in the tired troops and received the order to retreat. At that time, in order to avoid the Japanese, he retreated into the Yunnan-Burma jungle and returned to China from the Yunnan-Burma jungle.

The jungle of Burma and Burma, people who don't know, may think that it is just an ordinary forest, however, this is a nightmare shared by Chinese and Japanese.

During the retreat, the Japanese also chased into the jungle one after another, in order to preserve the troops, the commander at that time dispersed the team, Song Feng remembered that his original team of more than 300 people, in the end only a few dozen people remained.

Later, there were no more than the dozens of people, only he was alone, who crossed the jungle of Yunnan and Burma alive, climbed the river valley and savage mountains, and returned to China.

There are a lot of unspeakable things that happened in the middle, and this old house doesn't know too much, all he can know is some things that Song Feng relayed to him. Of course, there are many unreasonable things in this, probably because Song Feng deliberately concealed it and did not say it, as for the reason, it is unknown.

At that time, more than 100,000 troops were sent for the first time, and the number of casualties was close to 50,000, and most of them did not die on the battlefield, but died in the jungle of Yunnan and Burma, and died in the savage mountains.

Yunnan-Burma jungle, many poisonous insects, beasts, many miasma, swamps and hollows, under the pursuit of the Japanese, the expeditionary force retreated rapidly, at that time, naturally knew the danger of the Yunnan-Burma jungle, but did not personally experience it, no matter what, Song Feng did not expect that this danger, actually have to pay such a big price.

In the process of retreating and dispersing, the small detachment of 300 men gradually became smaller and smaller, and they were forced to separate from the large force after a head-on attack with the Japanese. Of the 300 men, most of them were male soldiers, and there were only about a dozen female soldiers.

And in this process, the first to die are the female soldiers.

Whether it is physical strength or personal resistance, female soldiers are far from enough, and in the process, the ubiquitous miasma in the Yunnan-Burma jungle has eliminated those with slightly lower resistance in the team. Those people had abscesses on their bodies, which attracted countless mosquitoes, and even maggots grew on their wounds.

At first, there was medicine in the team, but it was quickly consumed, and the later people could only boil it slowly. Their feet were festering and eroded by miasma, and their bodies were full of pustules, and each person's body emitted a foul stench as if it were about to rot.

In the beginning, they would also make some simple stretchers to carry the unconscious and fallen people, but later, these fallen comrades could only be abandoned.

It's not that I don't want to save it, but I can't save it, and I can't do anything.

Little Japan is hateful, but the spirit of their allegiance to the emperor, the demonic thoughts that seem to have been brainwashed, are really terrifying.

At that time, after the little Japan chased into the jungle, they were in the same situation as the expeditionary force, but even at this time, the gang shouted Long live the emperor and wiped out the Shina pigs. In that kind of situation where there are enemy troops behind and the expeditionary force is seriously injured and sick, there is no way to save people.

There is no physical strength, no medicine, even if it is carried on a stretcher, people will only die on a stretcher in the end.

And it was a very painful death.

Song Feng always remembered that at the beginning, when there were still many people in the team, there were more than 20 wounded people carried, they were originally extremely strong soldiers, but in the end, they screamed and wailed on the stretcher, maggots crawled around on their wounds, and the female nurse in the team cleaned this up, but she didn't care about that. After the whole thing was cleaned up, someone had new maggots.

One by one, the people were rotting alive, and finally some even wailed and begged: "Kill me, kill me." ”

"Bang!"

It is no longer known who was the first to shoot, and in the course of the ensuing process, people constantly died or even went missing.

Sometimes as you walk, there will be two fewer people in the team, and no one knows how people are lost. Some of them fell halfway through, unnoticed by their companions, who were also weary and miserable.

Some were delirious, and as they walked, they fell behind and got lost, and walked alone to an unknown place.

When there were still thirty or so people left in the group, they entered the Savage Mountain in the River Valley.

It is said that there are wild people in this mountain, and it is also the most taboo place for Burmese people.

At night, the team set up camp in exhaustion and lit a bonfire. The jungle was very humid, even the firewood was damp, and it was difficult for the fire to be raised. The silent team, the stinking team, the team that didn't know if they could survive, the deathly silence hung over the heads of these dozens of people.

There was only one female soldier left, her legs rotten and her mind barely clear, and somehow she suddenly stood up and shouted at the sky, which was completely obscured by the trees...... I want to go home! The male soldiers around her looked at her silently, and finally I don't know who started to sobble and cry, and the cries were continuous.

Song Feng is the best resistance among them, their family used to open a medical hall, and his father was a doctor, so he laid Song Feng's physical foundation very well. Although he was not eroded by the miasma, he was tormented by exhaustion, hunger, and worn out feet.

The reason why Savage Mountain is called Savage Mountain is, of course, there is a history, it is said that not only there are savages here, but also the savages here eat people.

The animals in the jungles of Yunnan and Burma are as if they are equipped with radar detectors, and the hungry eyes of the team glow green, and they want to hunt and get some food, but they can't see any living creatures. You can feel the whole jungle full of life and danger, but when you really go to find it, you won't find anything.

Not even a pheasant can be caught.

The only thing you can see are all kinds of poisonous insects, poisonous spiders and poisonous plants, which are not edible, and some plants do not recognize them at all.

I was so hungry that I tried to eat plants I didn't know, and in the end many people died on it.

It wasn't a quiet night. The crowd really encountered the wild man.

What do the wild people look like, to be honest, Song Feng can't see clearly, their speed is too fast, shuttling between the trees, everyone only sees a black shadow, like lightning, like a ghost, there are screams in the team from time to time, after each scream, there will be a person who disappears, and the person who disappeared, where he was originally standing, can only see a trail of drag and blood.

As you chase down the trail of dragged blood, the trail will suddenly disappear under a large tree, and when you look up at the tree and forget about the area around the embankment, you may be captured by another wild man.

In the end, the temporarily elected commander of the squad ordered to run, the enemy was too strong, there was no other choice but to run, and how many could run was a few.

Song Feng still remembers that the commander's name is Li Youde, and in the process of retreating, the original commander of the team disappeared, and in order to organize discipline, the remaining people elected a temporary commander.
