In order to open this country's only channel to the world as soon as possible, a labor force of 200,000, mainly composed of women and children, fought day and night among the high mountains, resulting in countless casualties. However, it is precisely because of their efforts that our country was able to endure the difficult eight years of the war of resistance. It can be said that without the main artery of the Burma Road, there would be no victory in the National War of Resistance!
The road in the mountains is much more curved than the most curved snake. It is like a randomly thrown line, twisting and undulating, as if this road is composed of countless bends. . The motorcade and the flow of people are moving forward in a circuitous way on this road with countless turns and twists.
There are often fighter jets roaring past in the sky. When you look up, you will see either the Stars and Stripes of the US military or the Blue Sky and White Sun flag of the United States on the wings of the aircraft. In Myanmar in the 34th year of the Republic of China, under the joint attack of the United States and the United States, the Japanese army had completely lost air supremacy. There was no longer a single Japanese aircraft in the sky of Myanmar.
The convoy suddenly stopped, and the walking team overtook the convoy and continued moving forward. This is a common thing on the Burma Highway. Either the road is broken or there is a convoy coming in the opposite direction. Both sides stopped for a moment, gave way to each other, and then continued walking. The officers and soldiers of the 500th Army were also used to this. This international lifeline was so busy that Gao Quan and his 500 troops stopped as many as five times on the road in less than half a day. What's the reason this time?
"Why did you stop the car again?" Tang Juan in the back seat complained angrily, "At this rate, when can we get to Madaban Bay? The twenty-day deadline given by the chairman is up in two days. Can we go to Yangon tomorrow?¡±
"So what if we can't get there? The Americans haven't prepared enough transport planes for us. If our entire army flies, we can definitely fly there in two days. It's not that our army doesn't work hard, it's a conditional restriction. Look below, half of them The soldier is still walking on two legs." Gao Quan smiled bitterly and shook his head. "On the 20th day, I sent a telegram to the principal to explain that the failure to arrive on time was all my fault, not the Americans'. A little bit of a relationship.¡±
"This is not a question of whose responsibility it is. We have to report the true situation to the central government. This is the actual situation. No one can walk faster on this road!" Tang Juan got angry, opened the car door and jumped out while holding the camera. Car, "I'm going to take pictures. Sister Hong and Sister Qin, come quickly. I'll take pictures for you!"
The three women happily jumped out of the jeep, found a spot on the roadside, and posed for photos. Gao Quan stood by the car smoking and watching.
The convoy on the opposite side came over, it was a convoy of trucks transporting supplies. The back compartments of the trucks were covered with military canvas, and they drove past one after another on the highway. The passengers on the trucks loudly greeted the five hundred officers and soldiers on the roadside.
"Hello, hello! Chi yo yo -" A head popped out of the cab of a passing truck. The American with blue eyes and high nose even blew a sharp whistle after saying hello.
¡°You stinking hooligan!¡± Tang Juan cursed angrily, raised her camera and clicked the shutter at the passing truck. "Crack!" The spotlight flashed, and the truck stopped with a "crunch!"
"Hello, beautiful lady, I'm Harvey, can we take a photo?" The sharp-eyed American soldier actually recognized the beautiful lady taking the photo in the truck. The open-minded American wanted to talk to someone who knew how to take photos. Photos of beauties.
"I'm sorry, I'm a reporter and I don't take photos with foreigners!" Tang Juan refused the American soldier's request for a photo on the spot with a cold face.
"I give you chocolates, and you take a photo with me. Maiga, it turns out that these two are also beautiful ladies! Are you an army of beautiful ladies? Ladies, I have chocolates here. Can you take a photo with me? Harvey touched several pockets and took out two pieces of chocolate, "Oh, what a pity, I only have two pieces of chocolate here."
While he was talking, his eyes were wandering around the three women, as if he was choosing which two women to take a photo with him.
"Put away your chocolates. We are taking pictures by ourselves, not with others!" Tang Juan's face became ugly because she saw Gao Quan coming this way.
Harvey spoke in English, and Tang Juan also spoke to Harvey in English. Hong Yingying and Huiqin in the back couldn't understand English, so they just looked at it curiously. Gao Quan understands English, and Reporter Tang doesn't want Commander Gao to have any bad thoughts.
"Hello, soldier, what can I do for you?" Gao Quan had already heard the Americans asking for a group photo, and he knew that this was a unique American character.
"General!" Americans have been coming to the country to participate in the war for a long time, and they can clearly distinguish the military ranks of the Japanese. The two general stars on Gao Quan's collar were particularly conspicuous. When Harvey saw the general, he didn't dare to neglect him. He quickly raised his hand and gave an American military salute, "I want to take a photo with these beautiful ladies." Although. In front of the general, the United StatesThe soldier still stated his request.
"Want to take a photo? That's great! Biaozi, you all come here, let's all take a photo with the American friendly forces!" Gao Quan looked back and said hello, and Biaozi immediately ran over with more than a dozen guards.
The soldiers had never seen an American with blue eyes and a big nose. When they arrived, they all looked at the American soldier with blue eyes and a big nose with curious eyes. Are we just going to fight with this kind of yellow-haired ghost?
"Ok, ok! Li, come down quickly, let's take pictures!"
Harvey¡¯s desire to take a photo with a beautiful woman is just the same as wanting to take a photo when he sees a beautiful scenery. In fact, he doesn¡¯t have many other ideas. It's just that Americans express things differently, which made Tang Juan misunderstand. The significance of taking a photo with a general was obviously more than that of a beautiful woman. Harvey immediately happily asked the driver of the car to get out of the car and take a photo together.
The driver of the truck was a Chinese young man who also recognized Gao Quan's military rank. He was a little restrained and ran over to the general and gave a less than standard military salute, "Li Jiaji, an overseas Chinese from Nanyang." It turned out that this man was returning to China to support. An overseas Chinese driver who fought in the war of resistance against the motherland.
"Gao Quan, Commander of the 500th Army!" The other party saluted, and Gao Quan returned the salute according to the rules, "Come on, let's take pictures on the Burma Highway!"
Harvey and Li Jiaji stood on the left and right sides of Gao Quan, and Biaozi and a dozen guards stood in two rows behind. As the camera in Tang Juan's hand clicked, a photo of historical significance was left.
Harvey also brought a camera. After Tang Juan took the photo, Ha Wei took out his camera from the cab and asked Reporter Tang to take another photo with his camera. This encounter between the two parties was entirely by chance. After this encounter, it is basically unlikely that they will meet again in the future. Harvey himself cherished the opportunity of this encounter and wanted to take a photo as a souvenir.
The convoy behind was already honking its horn. Harvey and the overseas Chinese driver Li Jiaji jumped into the car and waved goodbye. The convoy of the Five Hundred Army started slowly, and both sides passed by each other towards their respective destinations.
