In 1942, the Chinese Expeditionary Force was invited by the British to fight in Burma. The Fifth Army, the Sixth Army, the Sixty-sixth Army, and the Thirty-eighth Division successively entered Burma to fight.
However, due to the various non-cooperation of the British army, our expeditionary force was full of difficulties, and finally the expeditionary force failed in the first operation into Burma and was forced to withdraw from Burma.
According to Yu Shao, commander of the Ninety-sixth Division of the Fifth Army, the retreat path of the expeditionary force was simply a thrilling step by step. They traveled through the inaccessible primeval jungle and suffered a lot. Countless warriors buried their bones in exotic lands.
The primeval forest is inaccessible and airtight, and even dogs can't drill through. There are thousands of apes in the trees, the cries of misery rise and fall, and the locusts in the grass and trees are as many as ants, and they can climb dozens or hundreds of people in a few minutes.
What is even more frightening is that there is an extreme shortage of food, Yu Shao recalled that a British soldier wanted to exchange a gold ring with a bowl of rice with a soldier of the expeditionary force, and the soldiers of the expeditionary force were not willing to change it, because they did not know when they could go out, and the rice had to be saved.
On the way, many Indians fled to India via Sunbra, and the flow of people was endless. There was an Indian woman holding a baby with a little girl of five or six years old. She abandoned the little girl in the jungle, and the little girl tore her heart out and cried and chased after her. The expeditionary soldiers looked sad and carried the child in pursuit of the woman. The woman burst into tears and said sadly: Sir, my life is still in danger, and I really can't take care of my children.
Most of the Indians who fled this time were businessmen and civil servants, belonging to the Indian elite, and their families were rich. But the escape was not adequately prepared, and there was not enough food. In the primeval forest, the valuables they carry are useless, and even become a burden.
Yu Shao saw an old Indian woman on the side of the road dying on the side of the road, wearing gold jewelry, anklets and gems on her nose, at her fingertips, but no one went to get them.
After many days of arduous marching, he finally escaped to heaven, and countless soldiers died of hunger, disease, locust bites, and Japanese bombing on the way, and the situation was unbearable. But this escape also left a spark for the fierce counterattack of the expeditionary force.
