Crossing the bluestone paved road in the city of Chanda, because we guarded the city, the common people of Chanda thought that the Japanese could not beat the river, the vendors came out to set up stalls, the farmers came out to work, and the heavily armed soldiers patrolled the city.

The Chan people have affection, and this remote earthen city mixed with a large number of ethnic minorities has a unique sensibility and enthusiasm. Almost every house has hung a lantern at the door, some have been extinguished, and some are still emitting a faint fire. They guided their comrades who died in battle on the Nantianmen Gate to return home, one for each family.

There are seven or eight hundred of our comrades who died in the battle on the Nantian Gate, and each family has less than one, and the dead brothers are blessed to receive incense offerings from several Zenda people.

Ah Yi covered his eyes that couldn't stop tears: "Dead fish, the people here are showing our brothers the way and paying respects to our brothers who died in battle along the way." ”

"Hmm." Chen Yubai said boredly: "I just don't know if there is a difference between a soldier and an officer, after all, the officer's food is high, do you think the common people of Chanda will give more incense to the officers who died in battle?" ”

"I~~~"

In an instant, Ah Yi was speechless by Chen Yu.

The atmosphere on the road brought out Ah Yi's tears all the way, but he was ruined by Chen Yu's words, the words were hurtful, but there was always someone who wanted to say it. We survived not because God was particularly gracious to us, but because we bought the lives of our brothers who died in the jungles of Burma.

From the time he landed in Burma by plane, Chen Yu estimated that more than 1,000 brothers had died along the way. More than 300 people were killed at the airport, of which more than 100 were buried by Chen Yu; The ambush of the Japanese army on the side of Tengchong was the most tragic and the most enjoyable, with more than 400 casualties; Seven or eight hundred people were left on the Nantian Gate.

Fighting and fighting, it seems that we already owe 12300 men, all on the other side of the river. The brothers at the airport were okay, we buried them with gasoline drums, Tengchong ambushed the Japanese troops, we buried the bodies in the rudimentary trenches that were dug up, and we discarded the bodies on the top of the mountain, in the woods, in the river beach, in the river.

The jeep traveled all the way, and then stopped at a road, and on the hill next to the highway was the headquarters of the Sichuan Army where Yu Xiaoqing was.

Jumping out of the car to observe the surroundings, Chen Yu found that the layout here was extremely tight. Heavy machine gun nests are intertwined with high and low fire, and even in the woods, you can see light machine gun groups hidden behind bushes, and there are gun-wielding sentries and sentries patrolling the winding mountain stone paths.

After watching it for a long time, when he turned around, he found that Ah Yi had followed He Shuguang up the hill, shook his head and smiled bitterly, and Chen Yu followed.

Finally.

In the courtyard of the mountain extending in all directions, Chen Yu saw Yu Xiaoqing who was looking down to observe the sand table, he was looking very seriously, and Zhang Lixian on the side was pointing him out the mountainous terrain on the west bank.

"Report to the group, people have brought it." He Shuguang finally stood neatly this time and saluted Yu Xiaoqing like a javelin.

Chen Yu and A Yi saluted: "I have seen the group seat. ”

"Hmm."

Yu Xiaoqing nodded her head without being salty, and didn't even look up at the two of them, still concentrating on dealing with the sand table in front of her. I have to say that this sand table is exquisitely made, the mountains and rivers are vivid, and Chen Yu didn't see anything else.

After a while, Yu Xiaoqing finally planted the small flag in his hand, and picked up the notebook in Zhang Lixian's hand to check if there was any omission. Chen Yu and Ah Yi stood aside and waited, waiting for Yu Xiaoqing to finish his beloved little sand table.

Returning the notebook to Zhang Lixian, Yu Xiaoqing's eyes were still on the sand table: "You two are from the opposite side, and the Takeuchi United on the opposite side is also fighting with you all the way, you have fought on the spot in Nantianmen, you are more familiar than me, see if there is anything missing from this." ”

"Yes, Yu Tuanza!" Ah Yi raised his hand and saluted, and hurriedly came to the sand table to watch.

After a while, Yu Xiaoqing asked, "Major Lin, do you think there is anything missing?" ”

"Eh~~~" Ah Yi was completely stunned.

Seeing Ah Yi's embarrassed face, Yu Xiaoqing held back the anger in her heart: "Go away and let the other one come over." Camp Commander Chen, what is your opinion? ”

"Huh?"

Chen Yu leaned over and glanced at the sand table and said, "It's good, the ancient tree of Nantianmen is really like, but it's a pity that I haven't touched it." The old man said that this tree was ready to cross the catastrophe, but it was split by Lei Gong to disperse the spiritual sense. ”

'Bang! With a sound, Yu Xiaoqing angrily broke the wooden ruler in his hand.

"Am I letting you see the trees? Allows you to look at the terrain and see if anything is missing. ”

Chen Yu saluted and said: "Yu Tuanzao was angry, and his subordinates were clumsy, and they didn't find anything missing. Who made this sand table, it is simply scaled down and perfect. ”

"Did you do it on purpose?" Yu Xiaoqing glared at the bull's eye and said, "I let you see Nantianmen, you said that the trees on the mountain are fine." Let you look at the terrain, you say that the sand table is beautiful, are you mocking me for only talking on paper? ”

"Don't dare!"

Yu Xiaoqing said very politely: "Don't talk nonsense, listen to that guy." You fought with the Japanese Takeuchi Wing at the airport, and captured the outlying positions of the airport with a hundred defeated troops, killing and wounding a small group of Japanese soldiers. You are the first person to fight with the Takeuchi Wing, the situation is clearer than mine, tell me about the characteristics and shortcomings of the Japanese Takeuchi Wing. ”

"Who?" Chen Yu asked.

"It's your dragon leader, I don't want to ask you a second time."

Chen Yu nodded and said, "Yes!" The biggest characteristic of the Japanese Takeuchi Wing is its combat ability and bravery, because their personnel composition is very messy. ”

"Messy?" Yu Xiaoqing heard an unusual situation.

"Yes."

"Go on."

Chen Yu stretched out his hand and pointed to the Nantianmen on the sand table: "The Japanese Takeuchi Wing, its personnel composition is chaotic. This wing was not Japanese, it also included many Koreans and 4Vs, and the Japanese also promoted these people to military ranks, inspiring their recognition and daring to die.

He fought them at the airport, during which he captured a Japanese corporal from 4V, and found a North Korean soldier while still collecting his body. After joining the Japanese army, these people faced an incompatible living environment, and often fought with all their might in order to integrate into the group and gain recognition. I met Japanese soldiers retreating at the airport, while soldiers from other parts of the country were still resisting.

The subordinates refer to this situation as 'identity', and they consider themselves Japanese and are reluctant to mention that they are from the occupied country or region. This status made them feel ashamed, and it was precisely because of this that the will to fight was often greater than that of the Japanese, so they often appeared at the forefront of the battle. ”

After listening, Yu Xiaoqing seemed to have discovered a new knowledge point. On second thought, this is not a puppet army, but a brainwashed puppet army.

Yu Xiaoqing instructed Zhang Lixian to write it down: "Go on, I hope to continue to hear something I don't know." ”

"Yes!"

Chen Yu continued to talk eloquently: "In addition to the composition of the personnel of the Takeuchi Wing, the number of artillery and tactical organization of their artillery are also different from those of other Japanese troops in China. After our rout, they were given a large amount of mechanized equipment and artillery fire, and their artillery support was delegated to the squad level.

At the airport, his subordinates confronted a Japanese squadron, and the Japanese army used two Type 92 brigade guns to cover the infantry squad for attack. And when the brigade arrives, it will carry wing-level artillery equipment. During the Battle of Nantianmen, the Japanese Takeuchi Wing even received heavy fire support beyond the division and regimental level, including many mountain artillery, field artillery and heavy artillery captured by us, which is enough to prove the strength of the artillery fire of the Takeuchi Wing. ”
