Chapter 23: The British, who surrendered

Without saying a word, Liula put the watch on his hand and turned his head to search for the trophies from the corpses of the Japanese devils.

Meng was annoyed to find a military medical kit marked with a cross, found Veterinarian Hao, and asked him to distinguish what was useful for the wound on his leg, everyone was doing their own thing, they collected what was useful on the battlefield.

Xia Yuanhe is dead and dead is interested in materials, weapons and ammunition, "Tuanzuo, these are the materials collected by the Japanese devils, they are all canned food from the British, their food is so good, we eat boiled wild vegetables, they eat these things, and they are chased and beaten by Japanese devils who are several times less than themselves." ”

Dead and dead is angry, it is the first batch of expeditionary forces to enter Dian Burma, almost witnessed the whole process of the rout of the expeditionary force, he was angry at the inaction of the British army, did not resist, angry at the incompetence of his own people, was killed by the British army, and was chased and beaten by the Japanese devils.

But there was a sense of powerlessness that arose, because he was just a pawn before, and he couldn't change the battlefield situation at all, so he could only watch the rout of the rout.

In the fog of the night, the swaying figures of the airport can be faintly heard.

The routs were alert for a moment, and they quickly entered the battle mode, aiming their guns in the direction of the strange movement.

A small group of British soldiers, in formation, marching in small steps, the little drummers pounded, they stepped on the drums, slowly walked over, followed by the commander, the commander walked leisurely, his right hand like a parasol on a pole, on the pole hung a small white flag, the former owner of this airport, they thought they had lost the airport.

Snake Ass and the others pulled the bolt, the sound of the guns made the British soldiers stop, and they lit a torch and threw it over, the sudden increase in the light made the routs see the appearance of this group of noble British soldiers, all of which made all the routs dumbfounded.

The commander was a gray-haired soldier, amiable and respectable, and he raised the white flag in his hand solemnly and even with great grace:

"Gentlemen, what we are going to do is exactly what you can see, and we have decided to accept the protection of the Geneva Conventions."

Xia Yuan heard it clearly, and the dead and the defeated soldiers were confused, and asked dead and dead: "What do you mean?" ”

Meng was annoyed and said: "Abide by the Geneva Conventions or something, it seems that they are here to surrender, isn't this holding a small white flag?" ”

Dead, dead, looked at Xia Yuan: "Tuanzao, this is not an opportunity to send it to the door, let them do whatever they want." ”

Xia Yuan said to him: "This group of Brits is arrogant, the surrender is so formal, Meng is annoyed, tell them, accept their surrender, but they have to find the best military doctors, some of us are injured and need treatment, if you don't agree, kill them all." ”

The rout soldiers looked at Xia Yuan dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe that this was what he said.

Xia Yuan didn't think anything about it, although he believed in red, he was not the same as the volunteers, he was a person from the future, he knew what the Japanese devils, the Yankees and this group of British people did, not to mention the Opium War that began in 1840, the burning of the Old Summer Palace by the Eight-Nation Alliance, etc., just what they did in Dian-Burma, China, and the Korean Peninsula could not make Xia Yuan treat them as guests.

He believed that a bullet would kill them.

"By the way, don't tell them we're Chinese soldiers."

Xia Yuan didn't forget to tell Meng to be annoyed.

Meng opened his mouth in annoyance, nodded, and relayed what Xia Yuan said just now to the group of British soldiers in front of him in English, and the gray-haired British commander heard this, so he said: "Dear sir, it is our honor to serve you, I hope you can keep your promise, and we will definitely do our best to help you." ”

Meng was annoyed and translated to Xia Yuan, who said, "We will keep our promise and accept your surrender." ”

The British were still efficient, and promised that night that a military doctor would come here tomorrow to treat the wounded soldiers, but he also hoped that they would keep their promises, and Xia Yuan repeatedly promised that after the wounded were healed, he would let them go, and ensure that they would abide by the "Zhibewa Convention".

Xia Yuan temporarily locked them in the warehouse, but did not abuse them, and also annoyed Li Wula, Hao Veterinarian and Meng to be the doormen, and told the two of them that the British Yankees had any needs, and they could meet them as much as possible, and those who couldn't meet them came to him.

Anyway, they are allies, and they can't abuse others, otherwise it will spread out, and the reputation of their expeditionary force will not be good.

Veterinarian Hao asked Meng with some concern, would it not be good to lock them up like this, after all, the British were their allies, and they gave them weapons and equipment.

Meng was annoyed and didn't care about this matter, he was thinking that Xia Yuan would find a British military doctor and whether he would treat his wounds, but when he heard Veterinarian Hao say this, he said: "Even if we really save the entire Dianmi, which is about to be defeated by the British, the British just think that this is a war between Chinese monkeys and Japanese monkeys, stupid and conceited, and people will not be grateful to them, as if we were divided into pieces before, and shouting about what is ridiculous." ”

After a pause, Meng was annoyed and said: "Also, Dianma is a colony of the British, and they can defeat as much as they want." As for us, we are about to lose our own country. ”

Liula listened to the heartache, "No, we will still save our motherland." ”

Meng glanced at Li Ula in annoyance, "How to save?" ”

"We are saving now," said Liula. ”

Meng was annoyed and ignored him, and continued to think about things, and the British inside began to behave again, they hated that the warehouse was too dark, and Meng was annoyed and asked Liula to get a torch, and they hated that it was too dirty inside, and Meng was annoyed and told them that we slept in an open space. After a while, they disliked the cold warehouse again, Meng was annoyed and asked Veterinarian Hao to get some firewood, and made them a bunch of fire, they wanted a pot and a tea jar, Meng was annoyed and annoyed, this group of British people has really a lot of things.

Thinking of Xia Yuan's explanation, Meng was annoyed and had to meet the requirements of this group of Brits.

After everything was found, the group of Brits settled down.

Xia Yuan walked over with Dead Dead and asked, "How are they?" ”

Meng was annoyed and said: "At first, they were yelling to change places, and they were yelling that it was too dark, so I just asked Veterinarian Hao to make them a fire and roast it in the room." ”

Xia Yuan turned on his night vision and took a look, this group of British people were sitting around the fire, comfortably roasting the fire, and they were also setting up a pot on the fire, the pot was boiling with a black liquid, and there was a rich aroma in the air.

"What are these Brits cooking?" ”

Xia Yuan explained to them: "Coffee, something that gringos like to drink, this thing can refresh the mind, and it tastes very fragrant with milk." ”

Meng was annoyed and said, "This group of Brits has been tossing us for so long, and they are so good at enjoying it." ”

Xia Yuan didn't say anything, and patted Meng Annoyed shoulder, "Take care of them, I'll go and rest first, and rest in shifts." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left, Xia Yuan was a little tired.

Dead and dead also patted Meng on the shoulder and said, "Translator, Tuanzao will get a British doctor to treat your leg, are you happy?" ”

Meng was annoyed and didn't want to see him die, knocked his hand off, and said, "I'll tell you something." ”

"What's the matter, but it doesn't hurt to say it, I'll take all the rags." Dead, dead, said without caring at all.

"It's useless if you can fight again, we have already lost this battle in Dianmian, you want to form a regiment and fight in Dianmian, it's too whimsical, you persuade the regiment to fight, the regiment is smarter than you think, although he doesn't say anything, he doesn't care about anything, but he sees it clearly than you, and sees it better than you."

Meng was annoyed and said enough to go to a court-martial, staring at Death, Death, Death, just looking at him with a look of nothing.

"I'm not fighting for the British, I'm fighting for our own people, what are you afraid of?" Dead Dead was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Tuanza is not afraid, are you afraid?" ”

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Veterinarian Hao said: "He is right, he is fighting a war for our own people. ”

Meng was annoyed and poured cold water on him: "What are you excited about old man, be careful of a stroke." ”

After several days of trekking, non-stop marching and fighting, the routs were exhausted, and they slept on the cold, hard ground of the warehouse, and some clever men would find crates and lay some straw on them, and they would fall into a deep sleep with their hard-won weapons in their arms.

The snoring was like thunder, Xia Yuan's eyes widened, looking at the dark night sky, and next to his ears was the snoring of a group of routs of different sizes and in different ways, this is a very wonderful thing, there are high-pitched, bass, whirling, arias, twitching, cheering, one after another snoring gathered together.

They are really tired.

Dead Dead came over and sat next to Xia Yuan, in the dark night, those eyes were so bright.

He didn't say anything, Xia Yuan spoke first, "I know what you're thinking, you're thinking about our next path, I'm going to go back with the rout." ”

He thought about it, the Japanese devils have been killed in India, to their borders, he wants to rush back with the troops, garrison Nantianmen, find the lost souls of the cannon fodder, and want to complete the mission "My Regiment Commander, My Regiment", just take them to fight behind enemy lines, it is not possible, after thinking about it carefully, he found that when the real soul returned, it was the last period to stick to the old tree for nearly a month.

People are always faced with death, they will seriously think back on the past, recall what they have done, whether they have done nothing in their life, or have made a difference.

He seemed to be able to understand the tragedy of the Battle of Shangganling, why there were still batches of heroes rushing to Shangganling. He also seems to understand why the war is so cruel, but there is always such a group of people who are willing to use their lives to earn a better tomorrow for others.

Similarly, Xia Yuan also understood that the bond between his comrades-in-arms was the right way to reverse and find their lost souls.

Human nature is ugly, but the light of human nature when it blooms is eternal.

Xia Yuan thought of Comrade Zhao Fengshou in the Battle of Shangganling, a recruit like him, who became a combat hero after his sacrifice. He thought of Wang Yongmeng, who also became a combat hero after his sacrifice, and their sacrifice guided the direction for the soldiers in the rear, and became a hero in the hearts of the soldiers, which could not be replaced.

War is cruel and bloody, but even so, even if they know their fate, they still go forward one after another.

The so-called soul is their lost Chinese soul.

Dead Dead looked at him, a little incomprehensible why he was doing this.

"It would have been better if we could fight in the rear where the Japanese army was most empty." Dead, dead, so to speak.

"The Japanese army has already hit Nantianmen and Zenda, although we are alive, what about them?"

Xia Yuan asked about death, his eyes carried a flame, "You still don't understand their lost souls, they have the shadow of all Chinese, they are the epitome of our country, they have lost their souls, just like the dignity of our country has lost." ”

Dead Dead looked at Xia Yuan and fell silent.

"I can naturally take them to live, but it will only be temporary, and the Japanese army will eventually react."

Xia Yuan looked at the dead and died, and said: "The Dian-Burma War ended up being a failure no matter what, a ball can't turn over the slightest wave, it's like a mountain, you pry a stone, it doesn't have the slightest effect on this mountain, you want to kill devils, but they don't want to, they want to go home." ”

Xia Yuan continued to say words that made the dead feel palpitations, "They are a group of people who have lost their souls, just like a country that has lost their dignity, if you want to find their souls, you have to take them to face them, and only when they have the courage to face them will they face their hearts." ”

Dead, dead, looking at Xia Yuan like this, he was wondering what Xia Yuan was thinking in his heart.

If he is dead and dead, it is estimated that he will take the defeated soldiers to move behind the Japanese devils, he thought about Xia Yuan's words, as if he was fighting between heaven and man, on the one hand, he continued to fight with the defeated soldiers in Dianmi, and completed the almost impossible wish in his heart, and on the other hand, he listened to Xia Yuan's words and retreated from the failed battlefield of Dianyanma.

Dead, Dead, Dead, seemed to want to persuade Xia Yuan again, he said: "We stay in Dianmi, kill enough Japanese devils, we can make a great contribution." ”

Xia Yuan shook his head, "I'm not here." ”

Meritorious service in the national army is a meaningless performance.

The most important thing is that they appeared in the victory of the Japanese army, the logistics and supplies could not keep up, and the arrogant British did not treat them as human beings, this kind of battle was a meaningless battle.

He said: "The battlefield of Dian-Burma has been lost, and a wing of the Japanese army can pull out the battle line of a brigade, and you want to take the opportunity to knock him, but have you ever wondered why the Japanese army pulls out the front of a brigade with a wing?" ”

He said meaningfully: "The British are retreating, and the Chinese are fleeing. ”

"It's incompetence."
