    After the Spring Festival, it was already March, and the Japanese seemed to show no sign of stopping. General Okamura Neiji, the newly appointed commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Forces, in order to realize his determination to defeat China as soon as possible, wrote to the Tokyo base camp one after another.  , requested to march westward to Chongqing, and drafted a battle plan.  However, the Tokyo Base Camp did not approve this plan out of practical considerations. After all, the defeat in the Pacific battlefield had endangered the security of the homeland. Their strategic focus was on how to repel the increasingly advancing US military.  However, with Okamura Neiji's repeated persuasion, the base camp still agreed to its limited attack. The goal was only to seize Chinese and American air bases to eliminate the Allied air threats to the mainland and Taiwan.  After receiving the approval of the base camp, General Okamura immediately mobilized his troops to punish the generals, and the war began on the Western Front.

    In March, the war started in western Henan first. Many Japanese troops rushed westward with great momentum, using tank groups and cavalry units to advance quickly.  The troops of the fifth theater of the national army, determined to die, launched a decisive battle with the enemy near Nanyang.

    Soon, the Japanese troops in northern Hubei also moved north from Jingmen, attacked Xiangyang City, and pushed towards Laohekou, the headquarters of the Fifth War Zone. The 22nd Army of the National Army defended the city, but in the end they were unable to hold on and lost Laohekou City.  The 41st Army recaptured Gucheng and faced off with the Japanese across the Han River. Other troops also fought tenaciously and fought decisively with the main force of the Japanese army on the front line of Xixiakou.  Stopped the enemy's attack and pulled up the saw.

    Just when the gunfire was thickening in western Henan and northern Hubei, Okamura Ningji turned his attention to Zhijiang, the largest Allied air force base in the Chinese theater at this time, and a larger-scale war began.

    Compared with the past year, the new year is obviously much easier. Not long after the New Year, inspiring good news came from the Yunnan and Burma battlefields. The Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Chinese Army in India, and the British and American Allied Forces won the victory.  After joining forces, the Japanese troops in Yunnan and Burma were completely defeated. This was also the first complete victory for the Chinese military and civilians in large-scale offensive operations since the Anti-Japanese War.  The Yunnan-Burma Counterattack began in October 1943 and ended in March 1945. It lasted one year and five months and recovered the lost territory in western Yunnan, killing more than 41,000 Japanese troops.  , of course, the losses on our side were also heavy, with 31,000 officers and soldiers killed and 35,000 wounded.  The victory of this offensive battle not only reopened the land communication line between China and the Allies, but also greatly improved China's battlefield supplies.  More importantly, this victory revived the people's hearts and morale that had been lost due to the failure of the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi the previous year, and greatly inspired the national military's anti-Japanese fighting spirit and confidence in victory; at the same time, it also allowed  Descendants of the Yellow Emperor and international friends around the world rejoiced, making the world look at the Chinese nation with admiration.

    The victory of the counteroffensive in western Yunnan and northern Burma was an excellent start for the year. Perhaps this was a sign of victory.

The first time is during the summer of the first academic year. According to the military branch where the trainees are from, the trainees are assigned to other nearby military branches or apprenticeships to visit and learn the education, training and internal management of the army.  And make study notes.  The second time was during the summer vacation of the second academic year. The trainees went to the army to participate in actual military command on the playground and in the field, and took notes on the internship.

    However, after the three-year study period was merged into a two-year study period, field work and military internships were also merged. Only in the spring of the second academic year, students were arranged to spend two months, either practicing in a nearby military unit, or  After returning to the original army, complete field work, staff travel and army internship, etc., and hand in homework and notes when you return.

    In April, Mainland China arranged for regular class students to conduct on-site operations and staff travel. More than 100 people were divided into several groups, and either returned to their original units, or were arranged by the school nearby.

    Zhang Xian chose to return to his original unit because at this time, the Japanese army was already strengthening its forces in western Hunan and was likely to attack western Hunan. He hoped to go back and catch up with them.The Eighth Division blocked the enemy and had already blocked the division on the Zishui shore.

The eastern plains are basically occupied by the Japanese army, while the western mountainous area is still owned by the national army.  territory.

    Commander He was so immersed in the conversation with General Leng that he completely forgot that they were on a plane, as if there was no roaring noise.  At this time, Zhang Xian, who was sitting next to him, was also very engrossed in listening. A map of Hunan immediately appeared in his mind. Listening to what the two officers talked about, he immediately thought of the long western Hunan.  , from north to south, there are many important places, such as Changde, Yuanling, Chenxi, Zhijiang, and Hongjiang. No matter which city is lost, it will bring great difficulties to the national army. The enemy will be able to rush through this hole.  The portal went straight to Guizhou and threatened Chongqing.

    Commander He finally stopped talking, turned his head, and saw Zhang Xian who was thinking hard. He was stunned, and wanted to take another test for this top student from mainland China, so he shouted: "Zhang Xian!"

    Zhang Xian woke up from a dream, quickly raised his head, and responded repeatedly: "Here! Sir!"

    Commander He smiled and nodded, and asked him: "I want to test you to see if you can answer the question."
