Without saying a word, Li Wula put the watch on her hand and turned around to search for the trophies on the Japanese corpses.
Meng Fanlian found a military medical bag marked with a cross, and found Veterinary Hao, asking him to identify things that would be useful for the wound on his leg. Everyone was doing their own thing, and they collected useful things on the battlefield.
.
Xia Yuan and Sila Sila were interested in supplies, weapons and ammunition, "Tuanzuo, these are the supplies collected by the Japanese. They are all canned goods from the British. Their food is so good. We eat boiled wild vegetables. They
While eating these things, I was chased and beaten by Japanese soldiers who were several times smaller than me."
Die La Die La is angry. It was one of the first expeditionary forces to enter Burma. It almost witnessed the whole process of the expeditionary army's defeat. He was angry at the inaction and non-resistance of the British army. He was angry at the incompetence of his own people and was defeated by the British.
He died in a military camp and was chased and beaten by the Japanese.
But there was a feeling of powerlessness, because he was just a pawn before and could not change the battlefield situation at all. He could only watch the defeated soldiers being defeated.
In the hazy night, you can see the shaking figures of the airport as far as the eye can see, and you can still faintly hear the beating of drums.
The defeated soldiers instantly became alert, and they quickly entered combat mode, aiming their guns in the direction of the unusual movement.
A small group of British soldiers marched in small steps, and the little drummer was beating. They stepped on the drums and walked slowly over, followed by the commander. The commander was walking casually, holding a parasol in his right hand.
Holding a pole with a small white flag hanging on it, the former owners of the airport thought they had lost the airport.
Snake Butt and others pulled the bolt of their guns. The sound of the guns made these British soldiers stop. They lit a torch and threw it over. The sudden increase of light allowed the defeated soldiers to see the appearance of these noble British soldiers.
This appearance made all the defeated soldiers speechless.
The commander was a gray-haired soldier who was amiable and respectable. He solemnly and even raised the white flag in his hand:
"Gentlemen, what we are going to do is just as you can see, we have decided to accept the protection of the Geneva Convention."
Xia Yuan heard it clearly, and the dead soldiers and the defeated soldiers were confused, and asked: "What do you mean?"
Meng Fangliao said: "Abide by the Geneva Convention and so on. It seems that you are here to surrender. Isn't this person holding a small white flag?"
Die La Die La looked at Xia Yuan: "Tuanzuo, this is not an opportunity that comes to your door. They will do whatever you ask them to do."
Xia Yuan said to him: "These British guys are so arrogant and the surrender is so formal. Meng is annoyed and tells them that they accept their surrender, but they have to bring the best military doctors over. Some of us are injured.
They need treatment, and if they don’t agree, kill them all.”
The defeated soldiers looked at Xia Yuan dumbfounded, as if they couldn't believe what he said.
Xia Yuan doesn't think anything of this. Although he believes in red, he is not the same as the volunteers. He is a person from the future and knows what the Japanese, Americans and these British people have done, let alone starting in 1840.
The Opium War, the burning of the Old Summer Palace by the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, etc. Just the things they did in Burma, China, and the Korean Peninsula could not make Xia Yuan treat them like guests.
He believed that one bullet could take their lives.
"By the way, don't tell them we are Chinese soldiers."
Xia Yuan did not forget to tell Meng Fan again.
Meng Fanla opened his mouth, nodded, and relayed in English what Xia Yuan had just said to the group of British soldiers in front of him. After hearing this, the pale-haired British commander said: "Dear sir, we are the ones who can serve you."
It’s an honor and I hope you can keep your promise and we will do our best to help you.”
Meng Fanglia translated to Xia Yuan, and Xia Yuan said: "We will abide by our promise and accept your surrender."
The British man's work efficiency is quite good. He promised that night that a military doctor would come here tomorrow to treat the wounded soldiers, but he also hoped that they could keep their promise. Xia Yuan promised again and again that after the wounded soldiers were treated, he would
We will let them leave and ensure that they abide by the Zhibewa Convention.
Xia Yuan temporarily locked them up in the warehouse, but did not mistreat them. He also asked Li Wula, Veterinarian Hao and Meng Fanglia to be the guards, and told them that if the British people have any needs, they should try to satisfy them as much as possible, and if they can't, they will be satisfied as much as possible.
Come to him.
After all, they are allies, so we can't mistreat them. Otherwise, if the news spreads, it will not be good for their expeditionary force's reputation.
Vet Hao worriedly asked Meng Fan if it would be bad to lock them up like this. After all, the British were their allies and gave them weapons and equipment.
Meng Fanlao didn't care about this matter. He was thinking about whether the British military doctors Xia Yuan had brought to him would treat his wounds. But when he heard what Veterinary Hao said, he said: "Even if we really save him,
The whole of Burma is about to be defeated by the British. The British just think that this is a war between Chinese monkeys and Japanese monkeys. They are stupid and conceited. They will not be grateful to you, just like we were divided into seven and eight before.
Luo, and still shouting about using barbarians to control barbarians is ridiculous."
After a pause, Meng Fanlian added: "Also, Burma is a colony of the British. They can defeat whatever they want. As for us... we have almost defeated our own motherland."
Li Wula felt heartbroken when she heard this, "No, we will still save our motherland."
Meng Fanglai glanced at Li Wula, "How to save?"
Li Wula said: "We are saving now."
Meng Fanglia ignored him and continued to think about things. The British inside started to act like monsters again. They thought the warehouse was too dark. Meng Fanglia asked Li Wula to get a torch. They also disliked the warehouse being too dirty. Meng Fanglia told them.
, we slept in the open space. After a while, they disliked the coldness of the warehouse. Meng Fanglia asked Veterinary Hao to get some firewood and made a fire for them. They also asked for pots and teapots, and Meng Fangliao was very annoyed.
No, these British guys really have a lot going on.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Thinking of Xia Yuan's explanation, Meng Fanglia had no choice but to meet the requirements of these British guys.
After all the things were found, the group of British guys felt more at ease.
Xia Yuan came over with Shila Shila and asked: "How are they?"
Meng Fan said: "At first, they were clamoring for a change of place, and then they were complaining that it was too dark. I just asked Vet Hao to make a fire for them and warm themselves up in the room."
Xia Yuan turned on his night vision and took a look. This group of British guys were sitting around the fire, warming themselves comfortably. They also set up a pot on the fire. The pot was boiling with dark liquid, and there was a cloud of smoke floating in the air.
A rich aroma.
Die La Die La asked: "What are these British guys cooking?"
Xia Yuan explained to them: "Coffee is something gringos like to drink very much. It can refresh you. When paired with milk, it tastes very fragrant."
Meng Fangliao said: "These British guys have been tormenting us for so long and they know how to enjoy it."
Xia Yuan didn't say anything. He patted Meng Fanle on the shoulder and said, "Keep an eye on them. I'm going to rest first. I'll rest in shift."
After saying that, he turned around and left. Xia Yuan was a little tired.
Shi La Shi La also patted Meng Fan on the shoulder and said, "Translator, we will get a British doctor to treat your leg. Are you happy?"
Meng was annoyed and didn't want to see him dead. He knocked his hand off and said, "Let me tell you something."
"Whatever it is, just say it doesn't matter, I'll take all the junk." Die La Die La said without any care.
"It's useless no matter how hard you fight. We have already lost the battle between Burma and Burma. You want to form a regiment to fight in Burma. It's too fanciful. You persuade the regiment to fight. The regiment is smarter than you think. He
Although he doesn't say anything and doesn't care about anything, he can see clearly and understand things better than you."
Meng Fanlian said something that was worthy of being brought to a military court, and stared at Die La Die La. Die La Die La just looked at him with a blank expression.
"I'm not fighting for the British, I'm fighting for our own people. What are you afraid of?" Die Die Die was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "Everyone in the group is not scared, are you scared?"
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Vet Hao said: "What he said is right, he is fighting a war for our own people."
Meng Fanlao poured cold water on him: "Why are you so excited, old man? Be careful of having a stroke."
After several days of trekking, non-stop traveling and fighting, the defeated soldiers were exhausted. They slept on the cold and hard floor of the warehouse. Some smart people would find crates and lay some straw on them.
The hard-won weapon fell into a deep sleep.
The snoring was like thunder. Xia Yuan stared at the dark night sky with his eyes wide open. Next to his ears was the snoring of a group of broken soldiers of different sizes and styles. This was a very wonderful thing. There were high-pitched sounds, low-pitched sounds, whirling chants, etc.
The snoring, twitching, cheering, and one after another converged together.
They are really tired.
Die La Die La came over and sat next to Xia Yuan. In the dark night, those eyes were so bright.
He remained silent. Xia Yuan spoke first, "I know what you are thinking. You are thinking about our next path. I plan to take the defeated soldiers back."
He had thought about it. The Japanese had already reached India and reached their border. He wanted to lead his troops back and stationed at Nantianmen to find the lost souls of the cannon fodder. He wanted to complete the mission "My Commander, My Captain".
"Regiment", just leading them to fight behind enemy lines is not enough. After thinking carefully, he found that when the real soul returned, it was the last period of holding on to the old tree for nearly a month.
When people are facing death, they will seriously think about the past and think about what they have done, whether they have done nothing in their lives or whether they have made a difference.
He seemed to be able to understand why the Battle of Shangganling was so tragic, and why there were still batches of heroes rushing to Shangganling. He also seemed to understand why the war was so cruel, but there was always a group of people who were willing to use
Live your life to earn a better tomorrow for others.
Similarly, Xia Yuan also understood that the bond between comrades was the correct way to reverse the situation and find their lost souls.
Human nature is ugly, but the light when it blooms is boundless.
Xia Yuan thought of Comrade Zhao Fengshou in the Battle of Shangganling, a recruit like him who sacrificed his life and became a combat hero. He thought of Wang Yongmeng, who also sacrificed his life and became a combat hero. Their sacrifices served the rear
The soldiers pointed the way and became the heroes in the hearts of the soldiers, which cannot be replaced.
The war is cruel and bloody, but even so, even though they know their fate, they still continue to fight one after another.
The so-called soul is the Chinese soul they lost.
Die La Die La looked at him, a little confused as to why he would do this.
"It might be better if we can fight in the rear where the Japanese army is most empty." Die La Die La said.
"The Japanese army has reached Nantianmen and Chanda. Although we have survived, what about them?"
Xia Yuan asked if they were dead, his eyes were filled with fire, "You still don't understand their lost souls. They have the shadow of all Chinese people. They are the epitome of our country. They have lost their souls.
It's like the dignity our country has lost."
Die La Die La looked at Xia Yuan and fell into silence.
"I can naturally lead them to survive by living in the rear, but that is only for a while. The Japanese army will eventually react."
Xia Yuan looked at the dead ones and said: "The Myanmar-Burma War was ultimately a failure no matter what. A ball cannot make waves. It is like a mountain. You can move a stone without doing anything to the mountain."
It doesn't matter at all, you want to kill the Japanese, but they don't want to, they want to go home."
Xia Yuan continued to say words that made Die La Die La feel palpitated, "They are a group of people who have lost their souls, just like a country that has lost its dignity. If you want to find their souls, you have to take them to face them."
, only by having the courage to face it can they face their own hearts."
Dead, dead, looking at Xia Yuan like this, he was wondering what Xia Yuan was thinking in his heart.
If he died, he would probably lead the defeated soldiers to move behind the Japanese army. He thought about Xia Yuan's words, and his heart felt like he was at war between heaven and man. On the other hand, he led the defeated soldiers to continue fighting in Burma.
To fulfill the nearly impossible wish in his heart, on the other hand, he would listen to Xia Yuan and retreat from the failed battlefield of Burma.
Die La Die La seemed to want to persuade Xia Yuan again, he said: "If we stay in Burma and kill enough Japanese Japs, we can make a great contribution."
Xia Yuan shook his head, "That's not my ambition."
Performing meritorious service in the national army is a meaningless performance.
The most critical thing is that when they appeared in Burma, where the Japanese army was victorious, the logistics and supplies could not keep up, and the aloof British did not regard them as human beings. This kind of battle was a meaningless battle.
He said: "The Burma battlefield has been lost. A Japanese regiment can pull out a brigade. You want to take the opportunity to knock him, but have you ever thought about why a Japanese regiment pulls out a brigade?
front?"
He said pointedly: "The British are retreating and the Chinese are fleeing."
