Take Taobao to fight against Japan

现在第22集团军又被急调入缅作战，不过第47军已经脱离第22集团军建制，所以第22集团军只剩下第41军、第45军，总兵力约五万余人。

After receiving the new combat order, Sun Zhen immediately gathered the troops resting in the rear and marched to Burma.

Hurry up, and after half a month, the 22nd Group Army finally walked all the way from Baoshan County, Yunnan-Burma Highway, Nankan, Bhamo, and Migong to Menggong.

In the early morning of January 1, just as He Zhenshu had finished his breakfast, the walkie-talkie strapped to his waist began to ring.

He Zhenshu quickly connected to the intercom and said, "Hey, what's the matter?"

The other end of the phone immediately replied: "Commander, the Sichuan Army has arrived outside Menggong City and is about to enter the city soon!"

"I see, you greet me first, I'll be right there!"

He Zhenshu cheered up, and after staring for a week, he finally expected them to come!

After hanging up the walkie-talkie, He Zhenshu tidied himself up quickly, and then excitedly drove a jeep military vehicle along the highway street towards the Chengdong Highway.

Chapter 772 What Kind of Army Is This Just?

At [-]:[-], He Zhenshu drove to the east gate of Menggong City, and saw a mighty army coming from the road outside Menggong City.

The Sichuan Army Corps who had been waiting for a long time came, but what they saw in front of them was far beyond the imagination of He Zhenshu and others.

I saw this army marching on foot in a four-way column. At a glance, the line was so long that it couldn't see the end.

However, this team is not like an elite army that came to fight, but rather like a group of refugees from Africa, an organized and disciplined begging team.

The soldiers in the queue were all unkempt and ragged. The clothes on their bodies could barely be seen as military uniforms, but they were already in tatters.

The military uniforms of some soldiers turned into rags, and the black and autumnal tattered clothes hanging on their bodies swayed in the cold morning wind.

If you look carefully, you can barely see that these tattered clothes were once standard military uniforms, not begging uniforms.

The soldiers were all sallow and thin. Under the tattered striped military uniforms, their exposed skin was covered with mud and dirt, but they could still clearly see the protruding ribs and ribs.

Thin arms, shriveled cheeks, sunken eye sockets, and thin figure all show their long-term malnutrition and long-term physical exhaustion.

The shoes they wore were either straw sandals, or black cloth shoes that were still full of holes after being mended, and some even had no straw sandals and were barefoot.

In addition, there are many wounded soldiers with sticks, bandages, and gauze wrapped in the team. They either limped and walked alone, or walked with the support of their comrades, or were lying on a stretcher. carry it away.

It is really hard to imagine how such a team of "old, weak, sick and disabled" traveled thousands of kilometers in more than half a month and came to Menggong, Myanmar neatly.

However, such a team of beggars is full of shocking strength and faith, because these soldiers are not at all depressed and decadent, on the contrary, they are all full of energy and high morale!

God, where is this an army?

They are simply a group of ragged, starving beggars and refugees!

No, to be precise, it should be an organized, disciplined, and high-spirited army of beggars!

"My God, is this the Sichuan Legion? No wonder the chief asked me to come here to receive them. This is too miserable!"

He Zhenshu's eyes turned red when he saw the severely malnourished Sichuan Army Corps, which seemed to be able to fall with the wind, but was disciplined and full of fighting spirit!

Although years of military career and his heart was as firm as iron, but facing the scene before him, he couldn't help tears welling up in his eyes, and the crystal tears kept spinning in his eyes.

"My God, there is such an army in the world?"

"They must have not had a full meal for a long time, how thin they are!"

"Omika, is this the army? Or a group of beggars?"

"My God, there are such poor armies in the world? What are they wearing on their feet?"

"It's so pitiful, look, it's winter and they are still naked, and there are still people with bare feet!"

"Yeah, it's too miserable! Is there such a poor army in China? Can they beat the Japanese?"

As the Sichuan Army continued to approach Menggong City along the road, Burmese aborigines, British expatriates, and reporters from various newspapers and media gathered from inside and outside the city.

The scenes in front of them made everyone shocked and inexplicable. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have imagined that there is such an army of beggars in the world!

"Brothers, salute! Welcome the brothers of the Sichuan Army to enter the city!"

"salute!"

He Zhenshu and the others saw their eyes reddened, and then raised their right hands in unison to the marching Sichuan army.

"salute!"

Seeing dozens of heavily armed soldiers salute their new army, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army who walked in front all returned the military salute to He Zhenshu and others.

片刻之后，一名上校军衔川军官小跑来到何震树面前敬了一礼道：“这位长官你好，我是第22集团军第41军第122师第364旅第727团团长王裕成。”

He Zhenshu quickly returned a salute and said, "Hello, Commander Wang, the brothers of the Sichuan Army have worked hard.

I am He Zhenshu, the garrison commander of the Chinese Huben Group Army stationed in Yangon, Myanmar, and I am here to welcome the brothers of the 22nd Group Army by order of the General Commander.

Now the city has prepared barracks, weapons and ammunition and various supplies for the brothers of the Sichuan Army, please enter the city as soon as possible.

There are special personnel in the city to receive and guide, to ensure that the brothers are fed and clothed!When you arrive here, you will be at your own home, don't be polite! "

In order to promote He Zhenshu step by step, Yang Fan has promoted him to be the commander of the Yangon police, responsible for social security and patrolling in Yangon and several surrounding cities.

"Thank you Commander Yang and the brothers of the Huben Army. On behalf of the brothers of the Wuwanchuan Army, I express my highest respect and gratitude!"

Hearing these words, Wang Yucheng's eyes turned red instantly, and he almost couldn't hold back his tears. After going through untold hardships and suffering from hunger and marching for half a month, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

He Zhenshu then asked: "Commander Wang, where is Commander Sun? The chief ordered me to pick up Commander Sun and go to Yangon to discuss matters at the first time. The Japanese devils are already ready to move, and the time left for us is running out!"

"I am here!"

Before Wang Yucheng could reply, Sun Zhen rode up to He Zhenshu, and there were three senior generals behind him.

After getting off his horse, Sun Zhen introduced with a smile on his face:

"Hello Commander He, I am Sun Zhen, Commander-in-Chief of the 22nd Army Group, and these three are Deputy Commander-in-Chief Li Jiayu, Deputy Commander-in-Chief Chen Dingxun, and Chief of Staff Zhu Ying!"

"Hello, Commander Sun! Hello, Deputy Commander Li! Hello, Deputy Commander Chen! Hello, Chief of Staff Zhu! I have heard such a great name for a long time, and I am really lucky to meet you today!"

He Zhenshu saluted and said hello one by one with excitement. Although the four people in front of him were all unkempt at this time, and their clothes were also blackened by all kinds of filth, as if they were refugees. But nothing less.

Sun Zhen held He Zhenshu's hand, and said with a hearty smile: "Haha, where, where! We have sincere admiration for Commander Yang and the Huaxia Huben Army. You are worthy of being the nemesis of the little devil. You beat the little devil to fear Raise the prestige and self-confidence of the people of the country!"

"Thank you, Commander Sun, for your compliment!"

He Zhenshu nodded with a smile, and then said enthusiastically: "Commander Sun, Deputy Commander Li, Deputy Commander Chen, and Chief of Staff Zhu have worked hard all the way!

In the city, we have prepared food and barracks for the brothers of the Sichuan Army. You have been exhausted from the journey, so follow me into the city and take a good rest!Get in the car! "

"Okay! You can do whatever you want, then everything will be arranged by Commander He!"

Sun Zhen wasn't too polite, and immediately took Li Jiayu and the others into a jeep military vehicle. Even though he had a horse to ride and didn't have to go on foot all the time, he was really exhausted after half a month of hasty marching. At this moment, his whole body seemed to be falling apart!

Chapter 773

After entering the city, under the meticulous care of He Zhenshu, Sun Zhen, Li Jiayu and others began to eat meat and drink happily after washing up briefly.

After he was full of food, He Zhenshu got to the point and said: "Commander Sun, at least 4 sets of weapons and equipment have been left in Meng Gongying's Burmese army, and there is also a large amount of military supplies that are enough for your brothers to complete the replacement.

It's just that the brothers of the Sichuan Legion traveled too long distances, and they must be extremely sleepy and tired after arriving at Meng Gong. The commander means that your army can rest for a few days now in Meng Gong, and then officially enter the defense after recovering. "

Sun Zhen smiled and waved his hands and said, "We can only walk on two feet. Although we marched all the way in a hurry, we still came very late. The war waits for no one. The little devil will not stop attacking because of this.

We appreciate Commander Yang's kindness, as long as the brothers have enough food and enough guns and ammunition, we can beat the little devil until he howls like hell! "

During the Battle of Teng County, the two sides fought side by side, and Yang Fan also generously supported a lot of weapons and equipment. Later, the 22nd Army also added personnel and equipment many times.

However, after more than two years of large and small battles, the 22nd Group Army, a local motley crew, has been unable to make ends meet. The number of soldiers fighting is decreasing, and the weapons and equipment are getting worse and worse.

A few days ago, due to excessive wear and tear and a serious decline in combat effectiveness, they had to be pulled to the rear to rest and replenish recruits.

"Commander Sun's heroism, my younger brother really admires him!"

He Zhenshu nodded and smiled, and then tactfully persuaded him: "My little brother is also very skilled. The Sichuan Army brothers are all very skilled. They are all good at fighting devils, but sharpening knives is not the same as chopping firewood! After all, three to five days of rest is still needed!"

In fact, according to Yang Fan's deployment, the 22nd Army will not participate in the first phase of the defensive battle, and will be stationed in Menggong, Myitkyina, and Lashio for at least a month to ensure that the rear will not be detoured by devils.

"Thank you Commander He for taking care of me. I appreciate this friendship!"

Sun Zhen naturally knew that Yang Fan's arrangement was for their benefit, but Sun Zhen didn't want to enjoy any special treatment.

After a pause, Sun Zhen continued: "It is the bounden duty of soldiers to obey orders. Although we are eager to fight, we will definitely obey the strategic deployment of the commander's headquarters in the theater!"

"That's a must!"

He Zhenshu nodded and smiled, and then said: "Commander Sun, the chief hopes to send you to the headquarters of the Yangon theater as soon as possible after receiving you, so that we can jointly discuss the strategic layout and specific combat plans.

At present, Chief Li Zongren, Chief Du Yuming, Chief Gan Lichu, and other chiefs of all combat units have gathered, and we are waiting for you, Commander Sun! "

Sun Zhen nodded and laughed loudly, "Okay! That's what I wish for! I haven't seen Commander Yang for three years since we left Xuzhou. Now I can't wait to fly over immediately!"

"Haha, our chief has always missed Commander Sun very much, and often whispers in our ears the heroic demeanor of Commander Sun and the brothers of the Sichuan Army!"

Everyone carried the sedan chair, and He Zhenshu smiled and praised each other, and then asked someone to take out 4 sets of standard military uniforms of the Huaxia Huben Army, handed them to Sun Zhen and others, and said: "It's cold now, this is the standard uniform of our Huben Army Warm performance is good.

If you don't mind Commander Sun, then please change into these clothes! "

"How can you dislike it! This military uniform is many times stronger than our beggar's costumes!"

"That's right! Your army deserves to be the prestigious Huben Army. Just this outfit makes people look at it!"

"Such a precious gift, how embarrassed are we!"

Looking at the luxury suit in front of them, which included underpants, long johns, autumn clothes, a general's woolen coat, an armed belt, a tactical helmet, and long military boots, etc., Sun Zhen and the others couldn't help but be extremely envious.

After some humility, Sun Zhen and others reluctantly accepted the entire set of military uniforms, then took a shower and changed into new clothes.

"Sure enough, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles. Wearing this outfit, the whole person will feel more energetic! It's great to fight devils with Commander Yang!"

Looking in the mirror, Sun Zhen was beyond satisfied. He usually just went to war, and he didn't have the time or money to pay attention to his personal image.

But it’s different now, I’m going to Yangon to meet with all the leaders soon, if they get dirty and ragged, it’s not embarrassing themselves, but embarrassing the entire Sichuan Army!

After Sun Zhen and others finished changing their outfits, He Zhenshu didn't delay any longer. He immediately drove He Zhenshu to the airport, and then accompanied him to fly directly to Yangon Airport.

In order to entertain the 22nd Group Army that came from afar, He Zhenshu had already made all kinds of preparations in Menggong, not only freed up enough barracks, but also built a dozen large canteens, equipped with enough cooks and waiters, and purchased Enough rice, noodles, oil, vegetables, meat and eggs.

With the arrival of the Sichuan Army and its entry into the city, these canteens became busy with full firepower.

An army of 5 people is not a small number. It is really not a small project to take care of food, clothing, housing, transportation, food, drink, and sleep.

But fortunately, now Yang Fan has completely controlled Myanmar's defense and government affairs, coupled with strong manpower and material support, although it is a bit busy to entertain 5 soldiers of the Sichuan Army at one time, it is orderly and not chaotic.

Rice, white flour steamed buns, big meat buns, stewed pork vermicelli, roast beef with potatoes, spicy chicken, fried shredded pork with green peppers, deep-fried small yellow croaker, sweet and sour fish, pork ribs and winter melon soup, etc. With a fresh and fragrant cooked food aroma.

"Wow! My God, there are so many delicious foods! And you can eat enough!"

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

"My darling, I have never eaten such a banquet several times in my life!"

"This trip is worth it, even if you die here, you don't have to be a starving ghost!"

"That's right, no wonder the chief has been telling us that as long as we go to Myanmar, as long as we entertain Commander Yang, we won't be short of food and clothing!"

"Hey, that's not true. When we participated in the Xuzhou Battle in Teng County, I and the Huben Army brothers killed a devil. At that time, their weapons and equipment and the cost of food and clothing were as powerful as they are now!"

"Wow, group seat, then tell us about it!"

When this extremely sumptuous meal appeared in front of the soldiers of the Sichuan Army in the form of a banquet, the hungry soldiers of the Sichuan Army immediately turned red. They were both moved and happy, and also cried because of these delicious delicacies.

Not to mention that the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army, who have been tightening their belts for many years, are greedy, even the chefs and waiters who are used to seeing the delicious food in charge of serving the dishes are also swallowing.

This kind of food is indeed very attractive and extravagant, even in wealthy Burmese aborigines, it is impossible to eat it every day.

Chapter 774

After eating and drinking enough, the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army began to line up to receive a full set of military uniforms and personal items.

Military uniforms and military shoes are all in camouflage colors, which have the advantages of cold protection, wind resistance, breathability, water permeability, and camouflage.

The helmet is a camouflage steel helmet, made of hard and light material, which can effectively resist stray bullets and fragment attacks from the side, and the frontal defense is not weak.

The entire military uniform system is priced at only 25 wealth points, which is extremely cost-effective, and is very suitable for the climate of Myanmar and the geographical environment of the jungle.

The distribution of 5 sets of military uniforms is only 125 million wealth points, which is as simple as someone Yang plucking a leg hair.

In addition, each soldier also distributed personal items such as marching bag, soap, toothpaste and toothbrush, military water bottle, towel, lunch box, rice fork, mosquito repellent incense, and insect repellent.

After receiving the military uniform and personal belongings, under the guidance of the logistics staff, the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army took turns entering the bathhouse to take a bath and change clothes.
