Chapter 1343: Singing Accompanied by the Way Home!
It was the first time for the expeditionary force to urgently assemble on the battlefield and then urgently airlift back to China, and the New Sixth Army had to wait for the transfer of defense, the most important thing was their heavy weapons, tanks, howitzers, mountain artillery and heavy machine guns, these things did not want to be on the plane, only soldiers and light weapons could be airlifted.
On December 1, all the men and men of the Einsatzgruppen were airlifted to Myitkyina, and outside Myitkyina, all the officers and men of the Einsatzgruppen were already waiting.
"All the wounded stayed behind and returned home after they recovered; The wounded in the field hospital, those whose injuries have not recovered are strictly forbidden to be discharged, and all departments must strictly examine them, and the brothers who shed blood and died on the battlefield cannot be allowed to die on the recurrence of their wounds......"
The first thing Feng did was to gather the officers to explain the preparations before returning home, they had been informed that all individual weapons could be carried, but the weapons had to be packed and transported uniformly, and the soldiers could only take off with their bare hands, and the officers would have the privilege of being allowed to carry pistols.
"Look at the boxes unloaded from the transport plane, there are our things in there, packed with weapons, don't let people move......"
Feng pointed to the transport plane parked at the airport, which contained all the equipment of their 800 brothers, and there was no need to make any other arrangements, and the transport plane would continue to fly to China the next day.
"Colonel Feng, General Sölden has invited you to a farewell dinner tonight."
The staff officers of the Allied Command specially rushed to the airport, and the Allied Command held a farewell dinner for the New Sixth Army and the Chinese Special Regiment, which was about to return to China, and not only Feng Yi, but also Liao Yaoxiang and all regimental-level officers of the New 22nd and 14th Divisions would attend.
"Today's separation is for the preparation of our allied forces to meet in Tokyo, in the Burma battlefield, the cooperation between Chinese and American soldiers is worthy of our eternal memory, this kind of cooperation, is a model of the world's anti-*** alliance......"
The dinner was held in the officer's club as if it were daylight, and no matter where the Americans went, as long as there were garrisons, the first thing they built was not a barracks or a restaurant, but a military club.
"The Chinese soldiers, with their bravery and wisdom, have proved to the whole world that they can fight any army in the world if they are properly equipped, trained, and led, and can win in battle......
"The battlefield in Myanmar has allowed us to see the bravery of the Chinese soldiers, and the composure and wisdom of the Chinese commanders are equally amazing, for which let us thank the Chinese soldiers for their efforts in Myanmar in the past three years......
"The world anti-*** war has reached a critical moment, China, a country with 5,000 years of civilization, has been invaded and occupied a large territory, boys, your motherland needs you, I hope that after you return to China, you can be invincible and wipe out *** in the land that flows with the blood of Chinese compatriots......"
General Sölden's speech was very long, and the officers of China, the United States and Britain who attended the dinner could feel it from General Sölden's speech, and General Sölden was very reluctant to leave Burma in this way, which might bring hidden dangers to the imminent victory of the Burmese counteroffensive, but he also understood that these young men from China could not wait to return to China, to return to their homeland, and use their blood to drive away the jackals that broke into their homeland.
"Feng, thank you very much for your help to us, General Slim please let me express my gratitude to you, the general said that if the war is over, he hopes to meet again......"
The American dinner is not a large group of people sitting at the table eating and drinking, next to the buffet that has been prepared for a long time, you can eat what you want to eat, the largest area in the middle is surrounded by lights, melodious music, the stars are shining, the officers hold wine glasses, and keep clinking glasses with the officers they know and don't know.
"Colonel, it's a pity that I wanted to keep you, but your commander thinks you and your soldiers need to return home......"
Compared with the gratitude of the British, Sauerden came more directly, Feng Yi's department was originally a mercenary unit scheduled by the Americans, but he was caught off guard by the sudden changes in China.
"General, thank you very much for your praise, I am a Chinese soldier, the motherland is still bleeding and moaning, expelling the Japanese invaders and returning my China to the good and prosperous world, it is the mission of every Chinese soldier......"
Feng Ye didn't feel pity at all, at this time, his heart had drifted to China, he missed his motherland, his hometown, and his relatives.
"Your regiment is an excellent team, excellent soldiers and officers who are good at commanding, I wish you greater results."
General Sorden smiled and nodded, raising his glass.
"Thank you for your blessings!"
......
I don't know why, Feng Ye reached the peak of his alcohol consumption tonight, he was not drunk, and finally he was even able to return to the airport very soberly.
The next day, Feng finally knew where he was going to return, and the destination of their airlift this time was Yunnan Zhanyi.
"Let's go home!"
Feng Ye shouted and waved his fist at the brothers excitedly.
"Home!"
"Go home!"
......
With the shouts, Feng Ye gradually burst into tears, and he could finally return to his motherland alive.
"When the wind and clouds rise, the mountains and rivers move ......"
I don't know who it was, but I took the lead in singing the army song in the cabin, and the song quickly changed from humming at the beginning to a chorus of the brothers in the whole cabin.
Zhanyi Airport is a product of the Chinese Anti-Japanese War, built in 1938, initially as a training airport for pilots, after the Burma Highway was cut off, Zhanyi Airport became an important transit point in the transportation of the "Hump Route", a large number of military supplies and military personnel were airlifted to Zhanyi, and then transferred to other places. On March 11, 1943, the U.S. 14th Air Force (i.e., the Flying Tigers) under the command of Chennault was stationed at Zhanyi Airport, which became an important military base and bombing airfield in China.
Every day, a large number of transport planes have landed at Zhanyi Airport, and the ground support system has become the busiest group of people, who need to quickly transfer supplies, and on the other side, frequent take-off and landing fighters have become the best way to supervise and show the people here that war is around them.
The new 22nd and 14th divisions are still in Burma, and the Chinese Einsatzgruppen has become the first batch of troops to land, without bothering the ground staff to help carry the materials, and the Einsatzgruppen Group is more important to its own equipment than anyone else, after all, this is domestic, and American-style equipment is nothing in Burma, but when it comes to the country, it is something that the troops are fighting for.
"Commander Feng, no one will touch your equipment, let your brothers rest first, and we will arrange for logistics personnel to transport your supplies to the barracks."
In charge of settling the Einsatzgruppen was a major officer, who was also the head of the Ministry of Military Affairs at the Zhanyi airfield.
"Weapons are a soldier's second life, it's a habit we have developed in Myanmar, please don't mind."
Feng Yi politely refused, and watched the brothers get boxes of supplies in their hands and walk out of the airport in a neat queue, Feng Yi was relieved.
