In the blink of an eye, the time has come to mid-February 1941.
At this time, a full month had passed since the battle of Xidang River started.
Over the past month, the Japanese 25th Army has been blocked on the east bank of the Xidang River and has been unable to advance even an inch. The city of Xidang has also been firmly in the hands of Yang Sen's 27th Group Army.
However, the 27th Army also paid an extremely heavy price.
As of today, the two divisions of the 27th Group Army, with more than 8,000 officers and soldiers, have only less than 1,000 left.
Looking at the sparse formation in front of him, Yang Sen couldn't help but feel sad. He recalled that when he first left Sichuan, his 27th Army, although not a strong force, was fully equipped with nearly 20,000 troops.
But now, the entire group army combined is not even enough to have the strength of a regiment.
Even though Yang Sen had rich experience and even participated in the war against Yuan Huguo, he couldn't help but shed tears at this time.
"Brothers, I, Yang Sen, can't help you." Yang Sen choked and said, "When I left Sichuan, I personally promised you that I would bring you all back to Sichuan alive and return you alive. Your parents, your women, your wives and children, but now I, Yang Sen, am going to break my promise."
In the ruins, more than a thousand Sichuan officers and soldiers were silent.
Almost all the surviving officers and soldiers had dull eyes and expressionless faces.
To be honest, no one can remain indifferent after experiencing such a high-intensity war.
Human beings are flesh and blood after all, and they have feelings after all. They cannot be like machines. As long as they are supplied with oil or power, they can keep running until they are scrapped!
To be honest, the more than a thousand Sichuan officers and soldiers who survived have already given up on war.
¡°In other words, the more than a thousand Sichuan officers and soldiers who survived were already fearful.
"Chief!" In the silence, a veteran knelt on the ground and cried loudly in the ruins. "We have been holding on to Xidang City for a whole month. Is the mission completed? Can we retreat?" "
This sentence immediately aroused the echo of the other surviving officers and soldiers, and they all began to cry for a while.
Yang Sen was also in tears, nodding his head and saying: "My enemy, my enemy, our mission is completed, completed, we can retreat, take the ashes of the fallen brothers with us, we will return!"
"Withdraw!" Li Yueshen gave the order and the team began to evacuate.
¡¡
In Yangon, the Myanmar Theater Commander's Department.
Wang Geng quickly walked into the war room and reported to Zhong Yi: "General, the preparations for the Myanmar Army Officer School have basically been completed, but they will be evacuated to Myitkyina soon."
Zhong Yi said: "This is only temporary, and it will come back sooner or later."
"That's right." Wang Geng nodded and added, "According to the instructions of the General Secretary, half of the trainees recruited by the Myanmar Army Officer School are Bamar trainees, and half are from other ethnic groups and overseas Chinese."
Zhong Yi said: "After all, Myanmar's population is dominated by the Bamar people, so it is necessary to recruit more Bamar students. In the future, we must rely on the Bamar people to control Myanmar, otherwise we overseas Chinese alone will not be able to do it."
After a pause, Zhong Yi added: "However, the teaching at the Myanmar Army Officer School must insist on using Chinese. Not only can the official use Burmese, but they can't even use English!"
"Understood." Wang Geng said, "We need to cultivate Bamar students' love for Chinese culture."
"Yes, we must focus on cultivating the Burmese students' love for Chinese culture." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "You must focus on observing the ideological trends of the Burmese students. If you find that there is a strong nationalist tendency, put it in another volume. They will not be reused. If there are students who have a good impression of Chinese culture, they will be reused and placed in various important positions in the Myanmar United Army."
"Understood." Wang Geng nodded and said, "As long as I have time, I will talk to the cadets of the Myanmar Army Officer School, follow their ideological trends, and if I find someone suitable, I will immediately arrange to serve as a chief officer in the Myanmar United Army."
Zhong Yi nodded lightly and said: "Also, Brother Shouqing, you must always remember that there is no eternal friendship in this world, and there is no eternal hatred, only interests are eternal! So, not only because these Bamar people Since the students have a good impression of Chinese culture, we think everything will be fine, so we still have to give them benefits and bind them to the Chinese and overseas Chinese groups as a whole through benefits, forming a relationship of interest in which both prosper and lose. Only in this way can we last long!"
"Understood." Wang Geng nodded solemnly after hearing this. He still understood these principles.
While the two were talking, Adjutant Zhang Shiliang suddenly walked in with a telegram.
"General seat, please take your seat." Zhang Shiliang stood upright, saluted Zhong Yi and Wang Geng respectively, and said, "I just received a telegram from the 27th Group Army. They have withdrawn from Xidang City and are walking along the east bank of the Xidang River. Head towards Ruijin."
Zhong Yi nodded and asked in a solemn tone: "How many officers and soldiers are left in the 27th Group Army now?"
Zhang Shiliang had a sad look on his face and replied: "Including some staff members from the Army Headquarters, there are still more than a thousand people left in the 27th Army."
Zhong Yi was silent for a moment, and then said: "Telegram to the 27th Army. After the thousands of remnants arrive in Ruijin, let them demobilize and return to the country. They have made enough sacrifices for the country and the people. We can't ask for more, so , let them return to Sichuan Province to reunite with their parents, wives and children."
"Ah?" Wang Geng said in astonishment, "Why does the commander-in-chief treat the remnants of the 27th Group Army so favorably?"
"Because their military exploits are great enough! If it weren't for them holding on to Xidang City for a month, there would be no victory in the Battle of Xidang River!" Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "And more importantly, this month The lonely defense of the city has caused serious psychological trauma to them, and they are no longer suitable to remain in the army."
War Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is very scary.
¡°Lonely defenders like the 27th Army are most likely to suffer from war-related post-traumatic stress disorder.
Therefore, Zhong Yi must be responsible for these more than a thousand officers and soldiers. While their illness is not serious yet, they can be rescued and demobilized back to Sichuan Province. I believe that with the company and comfort of their relatives, their spiritual wounds will slowly recover.
All in all, these more than a thousand remnant soldiers are no longer suitable to stay in the army and can only be demobilized.
"After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "Tell Brother Hesun again and ask him to prepare fifty US dollars in retirement pay for each of the more than a thousand veterans who have been demobilized. The money will be paid when they arrive in Kunming without default!"
Is fifty dollars much? In fact, it's not much, only two hundred yuan.
Zhong Yi also wants to give them more, but he can't give more now. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
