At the Baoshan Station of the Military Statistical Survey Bureau, Huang Yuanzhong is being examined; The new 29th Division collapsed, and he, the division chief, had an unshirkable responsibility.

Of course, as his own person, his current treatment is not bad, at least he is not tortured.

"Brother Huang, Feng Yi's department entered Myanmar ahead of schedule, if you personally took the supervision team at that time, I am afraid that you are already the director's henchman now; So good opportunity, why don't you go about it? ”

The table between the stationmaster of Baoshan Station and Huang Yuanzhong was full of wine and food, as long as the director did not say that the family law would deal with it, then Huang Yuanzhong could not say that he had fallen.

"What does the boss say?"

Huang Yuanzhong asked in a low voice.

"The expeditionary force rushed out of the jungle at the junction of Rolling and Gengma, and the blood and bones remained; The commission is very happy! ”

The stationmaster of Baoshan Station did not say the attitude of the boss, but only the mood of the lower management; What he didn't say was that because of Dai Anlan's death in battle and the heavy losses of the 200th Division, the Ministry of Military Affairs and the Military Commission attributed the cause of the defeat in Burma to the Sixth Army and the 66th Army, and his fate was actually linked to the fate of the 66th Army.

In India, the American Stilwell was lobbying the U.S. Congress and President Roosevelt at this time, and he hoped to establish a base in India to train the Chinese army in order to counterattack Burma; This idea had already come to him when he withdrew from Burma to India, which is why he instigated the entire expeditionary force to withdraw to India.

Of course, there is a fair and honest statement in his mind, that is, to preserve the strength of the expeditionary force; And in fact, this American has his own careful thoughts.

He was the most American general who came to the Asian theater of operations because he wanted to make meritorious contributions, but after he came, he was defeated by the Japanese on the battlefield in Burma.

Sometimes, when no one was around, he would curse why he didn't have a bunch of American soldiers under his command; But he was sober, and he knew that Europe was the center, where American soldiers were very limited, and the British, who were originally planned to help them, did not listen to orders.

However, the defeat on the battlefield in Burma also made him understand that compared with the British army, the Chinese troops became the best choice in his eyes, they were brave and good at fighting, not afraid of death, and had unlimited ability to resist pressure.

As for the series of fiascos on the Chinese battlefield, he consciously summed up the reasons: first, the incompetence of the command system, and second, backward equipment.

Therefore, he had the idea of turning the Chinese army into his unit, transforming it with modern combat weapons from the United States, and with the rational command of the US General Staff Committee, to transform the Chinese army into a high-level combat force in the Far Eastern theater, so that he could make contributions in Southeast Asia.

After Feng Ye lay on the bed for a few days, because the weakness brought by the jungle gradually improved, he was finally able to get out of bed and move on his own, and the brothers in the hospital were not so lucky, from being carried back to the present, more than ten people have died of serious injuries, and some brothers have had to disarm because of infection, even if they are better, they can only return to their hometown in Qijiang and be discharged.

In June 1942, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government revoked the number of the 66th Army and the new 29th Division on the grounds of ineffective combat and connivance at the rout, and the commander Zhang Zhen and the commander of the new 29th Division, Ma Weiji, were removed from their posts and investigated; Similarly, Liu Bolong, commander of the new 28th Division, was removed from his post and investigated, but due to the relationship between the Statistics and Survey Bureau, the number of the new 28th Division was retained.

Huang Yuanzhong was also punished because of his inability to supervise the war, but he was not dismissed, and within the Statistical Survey Bureau, he was demoted by one level and assigned to serve as the station chief behind the enemy.

"Yes, the number of the new 29th Division was revoked, but I didn't expect their troops to become fragrant; Chief Du and Chief Song both interceded! ”

The troops left behind by the new 29th Division are divided into two parts, the division headquarters of Baoshan and the remnants of the 86th Regiment, and the remnants of the 85th Regiment and the 87th Regiment led by Geng Ma Feng Yi, and the two units together have more than 4,000 people.

"Equal distribution is definitely not good, both sides are offended, and what they want is the people on this side."

Zhang Dingfan pointed at Geng Ma, that was the reason for the dispute between the two sides, as for the more than 1,000 remnants of Baoshan's defeated generals, no one cared about them.

"The chairman of the committee has beaten the expeditionary force with a stick, and it is time to give dates next; There are still a lot of meritorious people this time, and their fates will be presented together! ”

Zhang Dingfan put the two intercession telegrams into a drawer, sorted out the documents on the table, put them in a folder, and walked into the office of the attendant's room......

"Guangting's Fifth Army is meritorious, let them go to Kunming for training, and the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately replenished their troops; As for the 200 division......"

In the office of the Supreme Commander, when it came to the 200th Division, thinking of Dai Anlan who died in battle, the whole atmosphere fell silent.

"How's Moe Country's side? Is the Nu River defense line stable? ”

The commander-in-chief tried to divert his attention with something else, and now China, there is not much time left for him to be sad.

"The troops of the devils crossing the river have been completely wiped out by Chief Song; According to Chief Song's telegram, without the Huitong Bridge, the devil should not think of calling for the time being; It's the rainy season. ”

An officer in the chamberlain's chamber answered the question of the commission.

"The new 29th Division is not all waste, and the infantry commander Feng Ye is still very good, worthy of my students! The 85th and 87th regiments fought very well in his hands. ”

"Tell Guangting to take Feng Yi's troops to Kunming together, and they should be treated commensurate with their military exploits; I, Jiang someone, never treat meritorious people badly. ”

The words of the Supreme Commander were fantastical, but the officers in the chamberlain quickly wrote them down.

Geng Ma, the Fifth Army and Feng Yi received an order to go to Kunming for training at the same time, and Du Yuming took the initiative to leave the list of the fallen brothers of Feng Yi's department, and he wanted to hand it over to the Ministry of Military Affairs in his name, so that the death pension of these brothers would be much better than that of the new 29th Division, which had been revoked.

"Will you follow me to Kunming or back to Chongqing? I told my family that I was okay. ”

Feng Ye sat under the eaves, perhaps because of the border with Myanmar, the recent rain has been falling, intermittently, but every day.

"I'll go to Kunming with you."

Wang Ying did not hesitate, what can he do when he returns to Chongqing? It's not that I'm worried at home every day, it's better to be by Feng Yi's side, although it's a little hard, at least I'm at ease.

"I'll go to Chief Du's side."

Feng Yi nodded, now he is the same as those brothers, and he has not yet said anything; Even their current numbers have not been decided, which makes him very uneasy.

"What do you mean by the Ministry of Military Affairs? The 200th Division now has only more than 2,600 people, two of the three regiment commanders have been defeated, and the battalion and company commanders are not even one-fifth. ”

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Luo Youlun was asking Du Yuming that his idea was to restore the combat effectiveness of the 200th Division as soon as possible, instead of the illusory new division; Now there is a shortage of veterans and grassroots officers in the whole of China, and these people are like a piece of fat, and if they are not determined sooner, more and more people will want to come and take a bite.
