What's on Jasmine's mind- My leader, my regiment follow-up

(One)

At the end of April 1944, we raided Nantianmen, which is what the military called "strong fire reconnaissance".At the end of May, China's Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force finally forcibly crossed the Nu River and launched a counter-offensive across the board.It has been more than three months since we came down from Nantianmen. It is now the beginning of September 4. The Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force is fighting fiercely with the Japanese in Tengchong and Longling. The field hospital of the Ministry of Defense also moved here with the troops.

Fanla lives in the officer's ward of the field hospital. He is out of danger, but it will take some time to recover.The medical officer said that he had to rely on sleep to make up for the excessive blood loss, so he fell asleep and woke up, woke up and slept again.

The veterinarian, Krupp and I stood in front of his hospital bed for a day and a night, we just looked at him, silently.Then, I decided to leave. Before I left, I looked at a pair of major military ranks and a medal next to his pillow, thinking that I don’t have to worry about him for the time being. If you’re bothered, you can sleep well, and I’ll see it again you.

We saw Ah Yi leave Master Yu sadly and lonely.Tang Ji finally fulfilled his wish and transferred him away.He is now going to another army to be the lieutenant colonel and supervisor of a certain regiment.

We also saw Yu Yu's classmate Zhang Lixian, who was still kept by Yu Shizuo's side. He now holds a vacant position as the lieutenant colonel staff officer of Yu Shizuo.

We have seen that the counter-offensive in western Yunnan started by us this time is part of the overall counter-offensive plan following the counter-offensive in northern Burma launched by the Chinese troops stationed in India in October 1943; it is integrated with the entire Burmese battlefield; It is a coordinated operation of China, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

We can see and hear more things now, and my vision and thinking are more open.I finally understood why the command "Attack stop" from "Shangfeng's Shangfeng" came about.

Since the first defeat in the Burmese battlefield in June 1942, in order to promote the United States and the United Kingdom to jointly reopen the Burmese battlefield, the Chairman has been actively deploying counter-offensives in northern Burma and western Yunnan. At the Cairo Conference in November 6 , reached a strategy and agreement for China, the United States, and the United Kingdom to jointly fight in Burma.

But the British considered the interests of their colonies more than morality and agreements, and the Americans also sacrificed China to accommodate the United Kingdom because of their "Europe before Asia" strategy.Therefore, after China, the United States, and the United Kingdom jointly counterattacked Burma, and the plan to reopen the Burmese battlefield was put forward, it was delayed again and again and was shelved.

Until the beginning of 1944, the counter-offensive plan in western Yunnan had been formulated, but the implementation had always been repeated. This is why the military department first acquiesced in our surprise attack, and then the order "attack immediately stop" came.

Now I finally understand what Master Mai said about the eight heads arguing at the negotiating table.

On the current battlefield in western Yunnan, although we have the advantage in numbers and equipment, due to the stubborn resistance of the Japanese army and the unfavorable situation of the enemy's defense and our attack, the war is extremely fierce.Every step forward, we have to pay the price of casualties several times that of the enemy, but we are also winning step by step.

I am a person who is unwilling to leave easily after seeing the battlefield, but considering the veterinarian's wish to go to the Central Plains battlefield to find his son, we still left West Yunnan and started to move eastward and northward.

1944年4月17日，日军发动了代号为“一号作战”的河南战役。4月22日，郑州失陷；5月26日，洛阳失陷；5月27日，日军集结了36万的兵力开始了长衡战役。

Throughout June 1944, the national army lost Liuyang, Changsha, Liling, Zhuzhou, Xiangtan, and Xiangxiang. On June 6, the defense of Hengyang began, and on August 6, the Japanese army captured Hengyang. At the end of August, the Japanese army started the Battle of Liugui. On September 23, the Japanese army ended the Battle of Liugui and occupied Quanzhou.

We went east and north all the way, and what we saw were countless refugees. What we saw was the defeat of the national army in Henan, Hunan and Guangxi on the Eastern Front.What a rout it was!They retreated thousands of miles, lost more than 20 square kilometers of land, lost 60 to [-] troops, and even lost the air force base of the American ally in Guiliu, which allowed the Japanese army to open up the line of communication.

We came to Henan, which is now an enemy-occupied area.Just at the beginning of this year, the veterinarian received a letter from his son's colleagues saying that a few months ago, their unit openly surrendered to the enemy, and the veterinarian's son refused and was shot before the battle.To die is to die, not even a small victory, and not even to die on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War.

Since he came to the Central Plains, the veterinarian has been muttering: "I am really sad to death." We believe that we know how sad he is.We accompanied him and searched all over Henan Province for places where his family Fuwa might have been, but we have never found the dead soul who died.

Later, I left Krupp to accompany the veterinarian and asked them to go from Henan to Hunan and follow the route of the defeat of the National Army in Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. If they couldn’t find it, it happened to be in the direction of Zenda , and I want to look elsewhere.

On the way we came out, I checked carefully to see if there was any sign of Bula, but I never saw him.Given the size of China, it is really not easy to find a person in the vast sea of ​​people, and you can only follow the fate.

Now I am alone and have more freedom to see where I want to be.

After the beginning of China's Anti-Japanese War, due to reasons such as the enemy's strength and our weakness, the Japanese army invaded and occupied a large area of ​​China's territory and destroyed the local rule of the Nationalist Government in the occupied areas.However, the Japanese army could only occupy large cities and major traffic arteries, and had no power to occupy China's vast small towns, especially the vast rural areas.I want to go to the enemy's rear, especially the vast countryside behind the enemy, to see the anti-Japanese guerrilla battlefields behind the enemy led by the red armed forces.

I saw that the Taiyue and Taihang military regions of the Eighth Route Army sent troops into western Henan to open up base areas; Frontier Base.

I saw that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army quickly advanced to the enemy's rear in Henan, launched extensive anti-Japanese guerrilla warfare, and created a new situation in the Central Plains War of Resistance.I thought of the little red bookworm, and I saw young China, the hope of China.

Along the way, I saw a lot and thought a lot.Now, I can finally look at China from a higher level and see the overall situation of China's war of resistance.

I suddenly realized that Master Yu used to call me "a genius who fights in short combat, an evildoer who goes against the tide", and I myself thought that I was such a genius who didn't understand shit, and I was even very arrogant and arrogant at one time. Lang.But now I understand that the so-called genius is at most only on the tactical level. As for the strategy of the War of Resistance, I have always thought very little about it, and I seldom think about it from the perspective of the overall situation and politics. Military advances and games.

If I can have half of Tang Ji's political skills, maybe I can save the Sichuan Army, at least it won't be completely wiped out like it is now.But when I thought that the purpose of pulling out this regiment was not to preserve my strength, carry troops with self-respect, be a warlord or a military stick, but just to fight on the anti-Japanese battlefield where I was most needed, I was relieved.

Maybe, even if I am given thousands of opportunities to choose again, I still can't be Tang Ji, and I will still choose to be myself.
