    August has arrived, and the war in northern Myanmar has basically ended. The expedition of the national army ended in a tragic failure. One hundred thousand soldiers left the country, but only 40,000 actually survived!  But this kind of tragedy has been integrated into the heavy history of the Chinese nation and has become an everlasting memory of the Chinese people!

    The three-month training has finally come to an end. During these three months, Zhang Xian mainly trained in the following three aspects: First, ideologically, what the national army needs is to be loyal to the Kuomintang, the National Government, and  Officers who are loyal to Generalissimo Chiang, and this loyalty means they can be like Zhuge Liang in the late Han Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang in the late Song Dynasty, and Shi Kefa in the late Ming Dynasty.  Secondly, in terms of military command, we focus on the many battles since the Anti-Japanese War, analyze the successes and failures of the Japanese army and the Chinese army, and find out the gaps and solutions. The focus is still on studying the Japanese army¡¯s combat methods and trying to learn from them.  Find patterns so you can find the enemy's weaknesses.  Finally, there is training in technology and weapons and equipment, because American weapons are gradually becoming the mainstream of equipment for the Chinese army, and many soldiers and officers of the Chinese army do not know these weapons and equipment, and some even do not know American machine guns.  They know how to use them, so in every national army, there must be some officers who learn to use these weapons. Who knows when these weapons will be equipped into their troops, and it will obviously be too late to learn them again.

    Although Zhang Xian didn¡¯t like the first aspect of training, he also knew that it was a required course for every training. Fortunately, as long as he followed the script, he should not make any mistakes.  As for the training in the latter two aspects, it is of practical use, so Zhang Xian studies harder than anyone else.  In the final exam after three months of training, he still achieved the best results and became the brightest among more than 200 people in his period.

    As soon as the graduation ceremony is over, he will return to the 11th Division to continue being the commander of his independent battalion.

    When leaving, Director Zheng Qingshan found Zhang Xian and asked him to take Wang Jinna to the Eighteenth Army, because the superiors had issued a transfer order and appointed Major Wang Jinna as the medical officer of the Eighteenth Army.

    *******************

    From Kunming, you can take a bus back to Chongqing, then take a boat from Chongqing down the river to return to the defense area of ??the 18th Army.  However, Zhang Xian wanted to take this opportunity to go to Zhijiang to visit his younger brother Zhang Ren.  So he planned to go to Guiyang first, then cross Zhenyuan and Yuping from Guiyang to Zhijiang. After seeing his younger brother, he would then go down the Yuanjiang River, go ashore in Changde, and go north through Li County and Yidu to visit Commander Fang Qingfang.  Finally, we returned to the 18th Army defense area near Sandouping.  His plan was originally very good, and the time was not much different from that of leaving Chongqing. If he had left alone, it would have been easy, but this time he had to take this female master of medicine with him. I heard that the ground in Guizhou and Western Hunan was not very good.  It's quiet, but bandits often come and go, so I'm afraid something might happen.

    Seeing Zhang Xian's embarrassed look, Wang Jinna asked him clearly about his reasons. After listening to his worries, she said decisively: "I'd better go to Guiyang with you and accompany you to see your brother. I also want to visit him by the way."  Those American boys. Don't worry, even if there are bandits, I have received military training. Although my gun is not as accurate as yours, I can always protect myself. What's more, we only take the main road and don't go into the mountains and forests.  What¡¯s there to be afraid of?¡±

    Seeing what she said, Zhang Xian seemed to be worried too much. He couldn't hesitate any more and could only act according to the plan.

    They went to say goodbye to Zheng Qingshan, the director of the training department. When he heard that the two of them were going to Zhijiang first, Zheng Qingshan laughed and told them that if they were half a day earlier, they could take a transport plane there, and that would only take  It can be reached in a few hours, but now we have to take a car. There happens to be a convoy going from Kunming to Zhijiang.

    It turns out that since the Yunnan-Burma and China-India highways were cut off by the Japanese, in desperation, the Chinese and American air fleets opened up a flying route, passing through the southern foothills of the Himalayas from the air, connecting India with China.  This is not a long route, but it is a tragic airlift that lasted the longest, had the most difficult conditions, and paid the highest price in the history of world war airlift.  It passes through high mountain snow peaks, canyon glaciers, tropical jungles, cold zone primeval forests, and areas occupied by the Japanese army. In addition, the climate in this area is very harsh, with strong air currents, low pressure, hail, and frost, making the aircraft face the risk of crashing and hitting mountains at any time during flight.  During the three-year arduous flight, Chinese airlines flew a total of 80,000 sorties, and the U.S. military successively invested more than 2,100 transport aircraft. A total of more than 84,000 participants from both sides transported a total of 80  Fifty thousand tons of strategic materials and more than 33,000 combat personnel.  The Tenth Air Wing of the US military alone, which has 629 transport aircraft, lost 563 aircraft.  On this route, the US military lost a total of more than 1,500 aircraft and nearly 3,000 outstanding pilots. The loss rate exceeded 80%!  There are a total of one hundred aircraft before and after.China Airlines lost 48 aircraft and 168 pilots, a loss rate of more than half.

    Today¡¯s Kunming is the end point of the Hump Route. Most of the materials transported from India will be gathered here, and then transported to the anti-Japanese front lines by cars, mules, horses, or ships.

    Zhang Xian and Wang Jinna boarded such a transport convoy. This convoy consisted of ten military vehicles, with a military jeep in front of it. They transported some navigation equipment and fighter aircraft accessories that were very needed by Zhijiang Airport.  In order to escort these materials, the National Defense Readiness Office also specially assigned a company to follow. At the same time, it notified localities at all levels along the route and asked them to protect the convoy when it was crossing the border. No mistakes were allowed.  However, the leader of this convoy was directly appointed by the military commander and turned out to be a colonel. From this point, we can see the importance of this batch of supplies.

    When he saw the escort officer, Zhang Xian was extremely surprised. He actually knew this colonel. It turned out to be Han Qi who came to the 11th Division to investigate him at the beginning of the year.

    Although they did not get on a plane, they were able to get into a car and ride in such a huge convoy. For Zhang Xian and Wang Jinna, it was also a dream. The best thing was that they did not have to worry about being attacked by bandits, and no bandit dared to do that.  They were so daring that they risked the disapproval of the world to rob the country of anti-Japanese supplies.

    ?******************

    In this transportation team, in terms of military rank, apart from the escort officer Han Qi, who is a colonel, Zhang Xian and Wang Jinna should belong to them. However, Wang Jinna is a civilian, and of course cannot be compared with Zhang Xian, a major.  In fact, these two people were just traveling together and were not part of the transport team.  The company commander who led the troops was called Tao Wang, and he was just a lieutenant. He had more than a hundred men under his command.  Therefore, the number two person in this escort team is actually Tao Wang.

    The convoy drove for a day and entered Guizhou. All counties along the way also knew that the stakes were high and sent out security teams to escort the convoy. They were relieved until they were sent out of their own territory and saw that nothing happened.  It was just like this, one journey at a time, and everything was uneventful along the way.  Everywhere they went, the best banquet would be set up to entertain them. Everyone felt that it was very majestic, but Han Qi only allowed everyone to eat meat, but not drink. This made the soldiers escorting them  Very dissatisfied, but dare not make mistakes.  Although Zhang Xian and Wang Jinna were not under Han Qi's jurisdiction, they also knew that if they enjoyed privileges, they would arouse dissatisfaction among the soldiers, so they refrained from drinking.

    Originally, this should be a very easy mission to complete, but after passing Guiyang, everything became difficult to figure out.

    First, shortly after leaving Guiyang and before arriving in Guiding, the convoy was bombed by Japanese planes. Fortunately, the mountainous areas of Guizhou are high in mountains and densely forested, so the convoy hid deep in the woods and suffered no losses.  Han Qi originally thought that this was just an enemy plane passing by by chance and would attack them after discovering them.  However, during the next journey, the Japanese planes kept coming at them, dropping bombs on them from time to time. For this reason, the escort company also lost three soldiers, and a military vehicle also overturned while avoiding the bombing.  In the ditch.  Fortunately, the things in the car were still intact, so Han Qi asked for another car from the local area. Everyone spent a lot of effort to transfer the things that had overturned into the ditch to this car.  On the road again.

    Zhang Xian felt a little strange. As soon as they came out of Guiyang, troubles continued. It seemed that their convoy had attracted the attention of the Japanese.  He told Han Qi his thoughts.  Han Qi also nodded. Don't think too much. Guiyang is the capital and largest city of Guizhou. The enemy must have an intelligence station there. Their convoy is too ostentatious. The enemy must have figured out what this convoy is transporting. Now,  They have become targets of enemy attacks.

    After analyzing the situation, Han Qi tentatively asked Zhang Xian if there was any good way to avoid the bombing of enemy planes. Zhang Xian thought about it and had no choice but to tell him that the only way was to disrupt the plan and not take the original route.  Only by taking another route can you escape the enemy's pursuit.

    Han Qi also nodded. It seemed that he thought so too.

    However, Captain Tao Wang firmly disagreed. He told Han Qi and Zhang Xian that the other road was difficult to walk. Most of it was dirt roads, and it went through mountains and ridges, which was much farther than this road. What's more,  There are no towns on that road, only a few small villages. They were carved out by horse gangs to transport smuggled salt and avoid government inspections. I heard that bandits robbed the road.

    Han Qi and Zhang Xian opened the map and studied it carefully. They found that the other road was not as far as Tao Wang said. There were two mountains in the middle, but after climbing over, they could reach Yuping City. That was  It is an ancient city that must be fought over by military strategists. The national army has a garrison there, which means that as long as they arrive at Yuping City, they can ask the local garrison to escort them with anti-aircraft artillery, and they no longer need to be afraid of Japanese planes.  No matter how difficult this section of the road was, it would only take two days at most. As for the bandits, Han Qi didn't pay attention at all.

    Having made up his mind, Han Qi ignored Tao Wang¡¯s dissatisfaction and ordered the convoy to drive on another road.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)No matter how difficult the journey was, it would only take two days at most.
