After Deputy Commander Du Yuming finished his lecture,

All the expeditionary forces were also full of fighting spirit. They started to set off in car units.

However, when setting off, there were also many officers and soldiers singing their expeditionary force's war song.

"The guns are on our shoulders. The blood is on our chests. Go to Myanmar, embark on the international battlefield, avenge the national calamity, and vow to kill all the Japanese pirates."

This war song has been sung in the car queue one after another.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the consumption of military supplies was huge. Most of the international aid supplies to China were transported into the country via the Burma Highway.

This is an international channel born in the flames of the Anti-Japanese War, accounting for more than 90% of all international aid transported in.

Once this area is cut off by the Japanese army, the military material support from the National Army, the Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese forces will be almost completely cut off.

So after the expedition team set off,

Deputy Commander Du Yuming, who was riding in a special car, was also worried.

Although he was a little emotional just now, after calming down, he was still worried about this overseas battle.

Since the Yuan Dynasty of Genghis Khan, domestic troops have almost never gone abroad to fight. Therefore, it is really the first time for the national army to fight abroad. They are not familiar with the place.

The worst thing is that this time the Japs attacked the Burmese side with the slogan of helping the people there drive away the British troops and give them independence and freedom. It was also because of this that the Japs gained the hearts and minds of the people there, and many Burmese traitors appeared. Compared with

The traitors came more actively to assist the Japanese army in dealing with the British army and even the expeditionary force.

On the way the expeditionary force set out, they also saw many people on the Yunnan side, who happily welcomed them and sent them off.

There were even many people who arranged incense tables for them, set up altars to pray for blessings, and donated rice wine, some daily necessities, etc. to reward the soldiers of the expeditionary force.

As for the huge portrait of the Chairman, it is also majestic. It stands at the head of Wanding Bridge to see off these elite national army troops as they go abroad to fight.

Moreover, under the huge portrait of the Chairman, there are two lines of headlines in bold letters: "Drive out the Japanese pirates and recover Myanmar!"

In the automobile unit of the Expeditionary Force, when they passed by the huge portrait of the Chairman, many soldiers saw these two lines of words, and at the same time their fighting spirit became even higher.

In addition, after they drank the last round of farewell drinks given by the people, they officially set foot on a strange land to kill the Japanese.

The fighting spirit is still strong, and there are also a group of young medical staff who have joined the army to fight in Myanmar.

Among these medical staff are many female nurses who have experienced war and treated wounded soldiers in the Battle of Changsha.

Therefore, these young and caring female nurses are even more popular with the soldiers of the expeditionary force.

But even so, there was still no way to change the fact that they entered a foreign country where the climate was unaccustomed to them, and fought a tragic war that was completely beyond their expectations.

The 200th Division, as the vanguard, headed for Tonggu, an important town in southern Myanmar, at the fastest speed.

On the way there, the expeditionary force troops, including the 200th Division, also experienced being greeted by many overseas Chinese who gave them cigarettes, candies, flowers and other things.

Seeing those overseas Chinese with bright smiles warmly welcoming their arrival, many soldiers of the expeditionary force suddenly forgot that they were going to fight the Japanese.

Because at this moment, they felt like they were the anti-Japanese heroes who had won a great victory and returned home in triumph, attracting the attention of the public.

Of course, at this moment, they still don't know that when they arrive at the destination of their battle, their mechanized troops will be completely unavailable.

Because of the terrain of Myanmar, there are tropical rainforests everywhere, crisscrossed by rivers, wild mountains and forests everywhere, and places with high mountains, wild beasts, venomous snakes, savages and other strange things.

When fighting in this hot area, many soldiers of the expeditionary force were wearing thick cotton clothes, so they were extremely uncomfortable. This was also because more and more soldiers were not accustomed to the climate and became sick.

But even so, the troops of the 200th Division were still trying to speed up their advance towards Tonggu, their designated defensive town.

"Hey! Did you see how enthusiastic the overseas Chinese who welcomed my mother just now were? There were actually some young and beautiful girls throwing flowers at us! It was so exciting!"

"Tsk! If that's the case, then prepare to kill more Japs and protect them! Don't forget that we are going to kill the Japs this time! We are not here for fun, and the terrain here is really complicated.

, and what the hell! I’m almost acclimated. I just took the medicine that the female nurse gave me, but it still can’t cure my gastrointestinal problem! I don’t know when I will be able to reach my destination and take a rest!”

"Don't say you are acclimated! Me too, I want to have diarrhea now! And the worst part is that I am still wearing thick cotton clothes, I thought it was also very cold here! Only now do I know that it is completely different

What a world! I really miscalculated this time!"

"Just take off some clothes when it's hot, but now I'm worried about how long our cars can go forward! The terrain here is very unsuitable for our mechanized troops to rush forward! Otherwise we can save a lot of time

, I hope we don’t have to march on foot! If so, it would be tragic, we are not familiar with this place at all!”

"Probably not! I heard that after arriving in Lashio Town, we can change to a train and continue fighting deep into southern Myanmar, so we shouldn't have to worry too much!"

"I've seen it before if I'm not worried. The weather here is so weird that it changes all the time. Sometimes it's sunny, sometimes it rains. In short, it's really changeable, and there are so many towering trees here! I'm really worried.

Will our mechanized troops be blocked by dense forests halfway along the way?"

"What you said is indeed very dangerous. If we are pursued by the Japanese army now, we will probably be in big trouble. Not only are there many virgin forests here, but there are also many cliffs! There are also desolate places.

Also, I feel more and more that when we go abroad to fight this time, it seems that it is not as simple as when we fight at home!"

"That's right! If we don't have these mechanized assets, I'm afraid we will be in a bad situation. Those damn Japanese troops have air supremacy and fight with the support of artillery and tanks and chariots!"

"Hey! Are you too negative? The good atmosphere just now has been completely destroyed by your increasingly negative remarks. Can you say something better? This is our first time fighting abroad.

Oh! Can't you say something auspicious?"

"That's a good scolding. I'm most afraid of crow's mouth. Don't continue to say these words that shake the morale of the army, otherwise I will be the first to report you to the commander!"

........

........

When the mechanized troops of the 200 Division left the main force and began to head towards Tonggu, the important town they were assigned to defend, many soldiers were in an uproar, discussing what would happen after they got further and further away from densely populated areas.

Feel it,

Especially when they no longer saw the crowds of people who lined the streets to welcome them, and entered an area full of barren mountains and ridges, uninhabited areas, and unpredictable weather, they became even more panicked.

At least a lot of soldiers were talking in low voices,

In response to this, some officers finally couldn't help scolding these officers and soldiers for talking negatively.

After that, these negative remarks were suppressed.

Because all of them knew that their commander, Dai Anlan, was not easy to mess with, and they were also elite officers and soldiers who had killed the Japs and annihilated a Japs brigade, so after a brief discussion with negative remarks,

He gradually calmed down and continued marching.

In fact, at this time, they never thought that not long after, the wealth they had saved over the past few years was destroyed by bombing without being used to kill the Japanese after the defeat.

,

Especially those tanks, chariots and artillery, when they were blown up, it made their commander Dai Anlan heartbroken.
Chapter completed!
