The blocking position of the 2nd Brigade of the Independent Division
The Japs from the 56th Division and the 33rd Division suddenly began to withdraw. The 18th Division in the direction of Mandalay was also taking turns to cover the retreat. The Chinese side had no intention of pursuing it. The two sides broke away from contact in a tacit understanding. This was the first time between the two sides. The battle ended in such an anticlimactic manner.
After learning that the Japanese had retreated, Wang Tiechang, commander of the Second Brigade, breathed a sigh of relief. He used one brigade to withstand the impact of the two divisions. There were planes in the sky and tanks and heavy artillery on the ground. The Second Brigade fought very hard;
In order to win the battle, they suffered a lot. The casualties were close to 2,000 people, almost a regiment, and they were the ones who sacrificed the most among the participating ministries.
At the independent division headquarters, Zhong Guoliang walked in excitedly, walking with wind. Chu Xiong knew at a glance that the work on the front line had been completed.
Old Man Stevie didn't wait for Zhong Guoliang's report. He immediately read the telegram and read it ten lines at a time. A flush began to appear on the old man's face;
Then he read it carefully from beginning to end, and after making sure it was not a dream, he shouted excitedly:
"Okay, well done to the Chinese Expeditionary Force!
Chu, good news on the western front. Our expeditionary force's independent division, new 38th division, new 7th division, and new 9th division completely annihilated the Japanese 55th Division in the northern part of Feicui, annihilated one regiment of the 56th Division, and severely damaged the 56th Division, The 33rd Division wiped out a total of 30,000 Japs, including 20,586 from the 55th Division. No soldier from the division commander, Lieutenant General Takeuchi Hiroshi, below was spared;
Annihilated 3,562 people of the 146th Regiment of the 56th Division, and captured a regiment flag——"
Chu Xiong finally came to his senses, raised his head suddenly, stopped counting the beans, stopped pretending, stood up and grabbed the telegram from Old Man Shi, read it through carefully, pumped his fist excitedly and shouted:
"Okay, Li Chenxi is really my lucky general! We have been fighting with the Japanese for almost 5 years, and we have wiped out no less than 150,000 Japanese. This is the first coalition flag captured. It is of profound significance. This time, you want to be a bastard." It’s time to vomit blood, I’m going to wipe my butt with it!”
"Chu, pay attention to your manners! Wiping your butt is too wasteful. I think it's okay to use it for bathing!"
Old Man Stevie also joined in the fun, and there was a burst of cheers in the command room.
With the vigorous publicity of major media in Eagle Sauce, the news of Jade Beida's victory spread all over the world overnight, greatly boosting the morale of the Justice League, which was fighting hard against the evil group. The small Jade Kingdom became the focus of attention for both the enemy and ourselves. .
"Selling newspapers, our expeditionary force showed its power in foreign lands, annihilated the Japanese 55th Division, severely damaged the enemy's 15th Army, and wiped out 30,000 enemies;
After capturing the regiment flag, Chu Xiong, chief of staff of the expeditionary force, said he would use it to wipe his butt! "
"Selling newspapers, the Expeditionary Force wiped out the 146th Regiment of the 56th Division, and seized the regiment flag. General Stevie and General Chu Xiong are fighting, and General Stevie wants to take a bath with the Japanese Regiment Flag!"
"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers..."
Chu Xiong once again entered the public eye overnight and became the focus of attention all over the world. Even Fatty Qiu praised Chu Xiong in public as the second best general in the Allied Forces, second only to leading an army of 300,000 to successfully escape back to England. Island of Montgomery.
(Chu Xiong: Are you shameless?)
In the Eagle Palace, the wise old man held a thick cigar in his mouth, with sparks dancing happily on it. George, who knew him well, knew that Franklin was in an extremely good mood.
His good mood came from the newspaper on the table and the cartoon wiping his buttocks with the rising sun flag.
I have to say that when it comes to humor, the eagle sauces have their own talent.
"Your Excellency Franklin, Chuxiong is talking loudly again. He needs air superiority. He asked for 100 P-51 Mustang fighter jets. He also named only Mustangs. He would rather have fewer, 50 B-17 Flying Fortress bombers and 8 reconnaissance aircraft."
George took advantage of Franklin's good mood and reported Chu Xiong's request to him.
Franklin shook his hand and said:
"NO, Chuxiong is the tiger of China, not the lion. Thirty thousand Japanese are worth 100 wild horses;
But there is a saying in China that asks for high prices and pays them on the spot. If they want P40 Tomahawk fighter jets, 100 will be no problem, but only 60 Mustangs and 30 Sky Fortresses;
I had to eat the food one bite at a time. I was curious, where did he get so many pilots? "
"Your Excellency Franklin, Chu hopes that you can allow him to recruit volunteer pilots in the Goshawk Country. Each pilot will receive a settling-in allowance of 1,000 eagle dollars, a monthly salary of 100 eagle dollars, and a death pension of 1,000 eagle dollars;
He plans to recruit 300 people, and Taihang Investment Company will foot the bill. "
Franklin had a playful smile on his face and said to himself:
"What an interesting young man!"
Thinking of this, Franklin shrugged and said:
"We do not support this, nor do we block it. As long as he can recruit, the limit cannot exceed 500 people."
"George, the Fifth Army, Sixth Army, and Sixty-sixth Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force have all retreated back to the country. In this case, let's simply form a new division with the Independent Division, the New Seventh Division, the New Ninth Division, and the New Thirty-Eighth Division. the expeditionary force;
With Chu Xiong as the commander and General Sun Fumin as the deputy commander, all the above four divisions were upgraded to armies, with the total strength increased to 150,000. The required equipment and military pay were provided by the Goshawk Kingdom, and the missing soldiers were provided by the expeditionary force. Collected from local Chinese;
China will provide another 50,000 strong men, and you can persuade the commander to agree to this reorganization plan, exchange equipment from two divisions, or provide equivalent aid from Eagle Elements.
Chu Xiong made a list of the equipment and supplies needed to form a new expeditionary force, and General Stilwell checked them, and allocated them directly from the supplies to assist John Bull. "
George nodded and said:
"Will Fatty Qiu protest if it is diverted from John Bull's supplies?"
Franklin shrugged, then raised his hands and said:
“We accept his protest, but this does not affect the Chinese Expeditionary Force’s access to this batch of materials;
Let Shi Diwei tell Chu Xiong that this batch of equipment cannot be taken for free, and the foot pot chickens will be driven out of the Emerald Kingdom within a year! "
In Savage Mountain, Du Guangting and the Fifth Army who returned home finally experienced the terror of the primitive jungle. The New Seventh Division and the New Ninth Division could help them block the Japanese pursuers, but they also blocked the ubiquitous beasts, poisonous insects, obstructions, and diseases. ;
As time goes by, food and clean drinking water have become the biggest obstacles. Many troops have begun to run out of food. Many people have drank unclean drinking water and contracted various strange diseases. The troop attrition has become more and more serious, and many people have fallen ill. On the long road back home.
In a certain jungle, a group of female soldiers are moving forward with difficulty. They are the communications team directly under the Fifth Army. There were more than 130 people when they set out, but now there are only 107 left.
"Captain, Xiaoyu has been having a fever and started talking nonsense. He is probably going to die soon."
Staff Sergeant Li Lan reported to team leader Wang Yan that her voice had become hoarse, which was a sign of severe dehydration.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan immediately followed Li Lan to a simple stretcher, touched Lin Xiaoyu's forehead with her hand, and frowned. The situation was far worse than she imagined. Without antipyretics, Xiaoyu would not survive today.
"Li Lan, you put Xiaoyu down first and give her some water. I'll look around to see if there are any herbs."
Li Lan took out the only half bottle of fresh water and brought it close to Xiao Yu's chapped lips. Xiao Yu shook his head and said:
"Sister Lan, leave the water to those who need it, I can't do it!"
When Wang Yan heard this, she immediately turned around and said to Xiao Yu:
"Lin Xiaoyu, drink water, this is an order!"
Suddenly, a joyful voice came from afar:
"Captain, captain, we are saved!"
