Chapter 515: 53 Army
Zhang Chi, who was in Shenyang, certainly didn't know what Hideki Tojo and Roosevelt were doing, and he didn't need to know, because he had to do too much at this time, and everything was urgent.
The first thing is to let the First Regiment and Second Regiment continue the road north... The blitzkrieg fight was just the word "fast", so even though the soldiers were quite tired at this time, they had no choice but to overcome it.
In fact... the difficulties faced by the Expeditionary Force soldiers are not very big. At least the soldiers are still rushing on cars, tanks, and semi-tracked vehicles. The drivers on the road are more difficult, but several drivers can drive in rotation, while the infantry can rest in the car.
If you really want to say that it is hard, how could it be better than the Red Army's Long March and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. It is said that the volunteers often sleep while walking and fall asleep while walking. You can imagine how trapped he is. As for the direction... it is to put on the shoulders of the soldiers in front, follow wherever they go. Once a person falls, the whole line of people falls like dominoes. And they don't get up after falling down for a long time... It's not because of anything else, but because they fall down and sleep more well. Several cadres have to come up and slap each of them for a few more trouble to reorganize the team.
This time, Zhang Chi did not walk ahead with the group because Shenyang needed to rectify.
After the battle, Zhang Chi took a free trip to the temporary resettlement of prisoners of war in the northern suburbs... More than 2,000 prisoners from various countries rescued from the Northern Camp were placed here.
Zhang Chi did this because he knew that it was very important to build momentum internationally during this period. As some people said: During World War I, several countries determined the pattern of the entire world, and during World War II, several oligarchs held a meeting in a secret room to determine the fate of the world... This was during World War II, so it was still quite important to build momentum internationally.
The temporary resettlement camp is not far from Beidaying, less than two miles away.
Originally they could have been placed in Beidaying... At this time, a large number of houses were destroyed in Shenyang, and the remaining enemies in the factory had not been cleared yet, so the relatively complete Beidaying is the most ideal place to resettle. After all, no place can arrange more than 2,000 people at will.
But the prisoners said they were unwilling to return to Beidaying, and they would rather use the tents provided by the Expeditionary Force to build their own camps in the wild.
It is difficult for Zhang Chi to understand what they did... In the past few years, they have lost their freedom and have no basic life guarantee. Now they are finally free, so they no longer want to go back to the cell where they are imprisoned.
So, when Zhang Chi got out of the car, he saw the joyful congratulations of the prisoners. Some excitedly threw everything in their hands into the air, some lay on the ground in a very exaggerated posture and looked into the air, while others looked at the photos in their hands with a smile, as if they could not wait to return to their country and reunite with their families.
"Teacher!" The soldiers who maintained order watched Zhang Chi walk down and couldn't help but stand up and salute.
A US military adviser who was a translator said to the prisoners in English: "Gentlemen, have you always hoped to thank the people who saved you in person? He is here!"
"Wow!" The prisoners couldn't help but surrounded them from all directions when they heard this.
"Sir, thank you!" An American soldier ran up, saluted Zhang Chi, and then said incessantly: "You and your army have brought us freedom. We have been captured by the Japanese army for more than two years and suffered a lot in the Japanese prison. Thousands of comrades died of starvation and torture... There were only four people who escaped, but they did not succeed. They were eventually caught by the Japanese and tortured to death in front of us! I could not find a suitable language to describe the insults of the Japanese to us. Sir, as an ordinary American soldier, I would like to express to you with full gratitude: None of us will hope to remember this day, and we will be your most loyal friends in this life! Thank you, thank you!"
"Thank you!"
"I can be reunited with my family, thanks to your help! Thanks to you!"
...
The captives came forward one by one and rushed to shake hands with Zhang Chi. They were all thin and pale, but their eyes were shining with a light of happiness and excitement, and some even had tears on their faces...
Zhang Chi couldn't help but remain silent.
He originally prepared a lot of infectious words, and originally wanted to use this to deliver a speech to achieve the purpose of shaping the international image of the Chinese team.
But Zhang Chi couldn't say anything.
Because Zhang Chi felt the sincerity of these prisoners, he felt that using political methods at this time was an insult to them.
At this moment, Zhang Chi truly realized one thing: although countries do only talk about interests, soldiers are not like this... Chinese soldiers are the same as American soldiers and British soldiers, at least there is no difference at this moment.
After leaving the prisoner-of-war resettlement office, Zhang Chi received news that the 53rd Army had arrived in Shenyang... The 53rd Army came by train. The Expeditionary Force seized five trains, two passenger trains and three freight trains in Lushun. Then the Chinese engineers followed the troops to build railways. It doesn't matter which sections of the railways in front of them were blown up. The engineers had American repair machinery in their hands, and the railway tracks were built in Japanese factories. They were built all the way, and they were opened to traffic not long ago. So the 53rd Army and its equipment were transferred up in one breath.
The commander of the 53rd Army was Wu Xuexin. Although he was a commander than Zhang Chi, he had a lesson from the Sixth Army before and then a rectification along the way. He also knew that the actual helmsman of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was Zhang Chi.
So when Zhang Chi appeared at the train station, he trotted all the way to Zhang Chi, stood up and saluted, "Reporting the Master! I am Wu Xuexin, the commander of the 53rd Army!"
"Yeah!" Zhang Chi replied casually, and he was used to it.
None of this matters.
What is important is that Zhang Chi looked at the soldiers of the 53rd Army, the Northeast soldiers who were arranged in neat formations next to the train... with cold light in his eyes and murderous faces.
"Do you know where this place is?" Zhang Chi grabbed the trumpet and asked.
The soldiers of the 53rd Army had never seen such a speech and didn't know how to answer it for a while.
"Do you know where you are stepping on your feet?" Zhang Chi asked again.
"Shenyang!"
"Shenyang!"
...
Several soldiers answered.
"Speak louder!"
"Shenyang!" the soldiers answered in unison.
"When did you throw it to the Japanese?" Zhang Chi asked again.
Chapter completed!
