Only more than 5,000 people?

Principal Chang was a little disappointed when he heard this.

This number of deaths and injuries is indeed a little less, which is incomparable to the achievements of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. However, Principal Chang still decided to reward the Zhejiang-Fujian War Zone with the highest specifications.

Principal Chang said again: "What is the casualties of Rong 1 Division?"

"Rong 1 Division..." Zhang Zhizhong's face dimmed and he said in a low voice, "In order to break through the Japanese defense line and lift the siege of Yinjiang, the Rong 1 Division launched 18 consecutive group charges against the Japanese army."

"After three days and nights of fierce fighting, the Rong 1st Division reduced its personnel by more than 90%.

"In addition to the wounded, there are only less than 1,000 officers and soldiers left in the entire division!"

"The commander Guo Qi, deputy commander Chen Xian, and chief of staff Shi Huaiyu, all sacrificed their lives for the country."

Even though Principal Chang was mentally prepared, his face changed drastically when he learned about this result.

Principal Chang was not heartbroken by Rong 1 Division. For this armed force that had been infiltrated by the Communist Party, Principal Chang only had hatred and no care in his heart.

What made Principal Chang feel frightened was the combat effectiveness of this army!

What kind of army is this? More than 90% of the casualties can still continue to launch an attack?

What kind of army is this? The division commander, deputy division commander, chief of staff and other senior generals were killed collectively! At least all the troops of the Bian Guo Army were found, there was no such division!

Is the Communist army really so tough?

President Chang couldn't help but feel deeply worried about the future situation.

Because according to reliable intelligence, the Eighth Route Army led by the Communist Party has grown to more than 400,000 people, and the New Fourth Army has also grown to more than 100,000 people!

It's almost a big trouble!

...

In Lashio, northern Myanmar, Zhong Yi finally met Zhu Liangcheng who had been away for two years.

"Old Chief!" Although Zhong Yi was not old, Zhu Liangcheng still saluted Zhong Yi respectfully, and then called him the old Chief.

"Old Zhu, we're meeting again!"

Zhong Yi ignored these things completely and directly gave Zhu Liangcheng a powerful bear hug.

Zhong Yi said: "Old Zhu, how long have we been separated?"

Zhu Liangcheng smiled and said, "Actually, it's not long, it's only a little over a year."

"But in my feeling, we seem to have been separated for ten or eight years!" Zhong Yi said again, "Oh, it would be great if Lao Guo, Lao Shen, Lao Chi and others were all there."

A dark look immediately appeared on Zhu Liangcheng's face.

Because in the Yinjiang Battle that just ended yesterday, not only Wang Yaowu's 10th Army suffered heavy casualties, but Qiu Qingquan's 41st Army also suffered heavy casualties.

Among them, the casualties of the Rong 1st Division were the most severe.

The Rong 1st Division was the 367th Brigade during the Battle of Wuhan, and was the direct line brought out by Zhong Yi!

However, in the Battle of Yinjiang, Rong 1st Division took on the assault arrow. In order to smash the iron barrel formation of the 13th Japanese Army, almost all the division fought for nothing. One division had more than 10,000 people, and in the end it was only more than a thousand people left!

A large number of old subordinates, including Chen Xian, Guo Qi, Chi Peng, Zhao Hanxing, Hu Qing, Liang Feng, Zhao Zhiguo, Sun Zhi, Yuan Qiang, Li Sifu, Guo Weiquan, Shi Huaiyu, etc., were all on the battlefield.

When Zhong Yi saw this list of deaths, he was stunned.

This matter is obviously not as simple as it seems.

Obviously, Principal Chang secretly gave Qiu Qingquan the armed force that under the guise of the Japanese army, the armed forces of the 1st Division, which had actually been infiltrated by the CCP.

Qiu Qingquan also faithfully executed the order.

Between loyalty to the party and the country and private friendship, Qiu Qingquan chose the former without hesitation.

However, since Qiu Qingquan chose to be loyal to the Party and the country and the President Chang, then one day in the future, when they meet each other, don’t blame him for not caring about his old love.

Of course, not only Qiu Qingquan, but also Yu Liangzhen.

After this incident, he, Qiu Qingquan and Yu Liangzhen had already broken off his kindness.

"Oh, it's all my fault." Zhong Yi sighed and said, "If I had transferred all of them to the Myanmar War Zone when I came to Myanmar, there wouldn't be the tragedy today."

"But then again, who would have thought he would be so poisonous?"

"Who can think of such a thing?" Zhu Liangcheng said, "Who can think that our President Chang, the dignified leader of the National Government, can do such a crazy thing."

"He even wants to assassinate you." Zhong Yi said, "This person has no bottom line at all."

"This is the Kuomintang!" Zhu Liangcheng said sneered, "It is still a community gang at the root, and it is not a real party at all. It's sad."

"Don't talk about these bad things anymore," Zhong Yi said. "After you have arrived in Myanmar safely, I can go to Africa with confidence."

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Is it so urgent? Can you wait for a while?"

"No, the Americans are urging too hard." Zhong Yi shook his head, "I have to leave after meeting you, and I didn't even let him go back to Mandalay. He took a bus from Myitkyina to Impal, and then met the 1st and 2nd Army in Impal, then took a train to Kolkata, and then took a boat to Yemen."

Zhu Liangcheng said: "Master, when you leave, I am walking on thin ice."

"It's okay." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "I have already greeted Deputy Commander-in-Chief Wen Yingxing, Chief of Staff Wang Geng and General Stilwell. They will fully support your work! As for the commander of the army below, you don't have to worry about it. It's best if they are willing to listen to your greetings. If you dare not listen to the greetings, just replace them!"

"Anyway, there is no clear line between the commander of the army group and the division commander of the Myanmar War Theater."

"As for the intelligence organization, Jianwei is his own comrade, there will be no problem with this."

"Okay, then I know it." Zhu Liangcheng nodded and continued, "So, what else do you have to explain the next combat preparations for the Myanmar War Zone?"

Zhong Yi said: "Okamura Nishi, the old devil, has built a solid fortification chain on the border of Siam-Myanmar, so it is definitely not feasible to attack from the front. The most important combat preparation work now is to build roads. First, we must broaden the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and then try our best to widen the road from Kunming to Laojie."

Zhu Liangcheng said: "What do you mean is to bypass the Japanese defense line and attack from Vietnam?"

"Yes, attack from Vietnam." Zhong Yi said, "Let the old Japanese fortifications be repaired in vain!"

Zhu Liangcheng said: "But if we open up the road with great fanfare, we will definitely alarm the devils. At that time, Okamura Yanji can easily guess our intentions. If the old devils build a solid fortification from the front line of North Siam to North Vietnam, what should we do?"
