Hu Bin and Commander Xu started talking from the afternoon until more than 2 o'clock in the evening, holding a map of India, and they had been discussing, discussing a series of strategies that the expeditionary force would adopt against India at that time.

The next day, Hu Bin sent Commander Xu to Myanmar in the small courtyard, and now he wants to hide his identity, he is a patient.

After sending Commander Xu away, Hu Bin worked in the small courtyard, one was thinking about the things in the arsenal, and the other was penicillin.

Now that I have obtained information about penicillin and are doing experiments, Hu Bin also sent a telegram and sent everything he knew, asking them to get the finished drug out as soon as possible.

The rest of the things are the affairs of Hubei, Hu Bin is still the commander here, but he still has to accept the management of Commander Chen and Commander Peng, but no matter what, Hu Bin's decision-making on this side, Commander Chen and Commander Peng are all approved, let Hu Bin do it,

About 10 days later, new troops moved into Burma.

Twenty days later, the first batch of troops of the expeditionary force to return began to move, and Xiang Feng and Li Qinwei's troops were all going back.

At this time, the commander-in-chief represented Yan'an, and Li Zongren of Chongqing went to Yunnan to welcome the triumphant return of the soldiers.

There are also the people who welcome the soldiers of the expeditionary force back to China, and there are a large number of reporters, especially reporters from the United States and the Soviet Union, as well as reporters from the Americas and Europe.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Many people on the border saw the convoy coming from afar, and immediately shouted,

I saw that there were three tanks in front of me, and then trucks, a large number of trucks, more than 300 of them, and when those trucks approached, all the people and reporters were shocked, only to see that the list of those vehicles was written in red cloth on both sides, and the beginning of the list was the list of the soldiers on the car.

On the car, there were no soldiers at all, but small jar-like things wrapped in the national flag fixed by wooden frames, and those people knew that they were the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers. On the border, a large wooden arch is placed on the main road. On this side of the border, a large number of soldiers with guns were guarding the road, and when those officers and soldiers saw those vehicles coming, they all kept a close eye on those vehicles.

"Salute!" One of the officers leading the team shouted,

"Brush!" The soldiers immediately raised their guns and watched the vehicles pass by.

"Salute!"

"Salute!"

Wherever the vehicles passed, the officers shouted loudly, and then the officers raised their right hands, while the soldiers stood upright, holding their guns flat in front of them. At this time, behind the soldiers standing guard, a large number of people were bent down and bowed to the sacrificed soldiers.

"Light firecrackers and welcome the heroic souls of the expeditionary force to return home!" A major general standing in the distance shouted loudly.

"Crackle, crackle!" Immediately, the firecrackers that had been placed along the road were immediately ignited.

The vehicles carrying the martyrs' urns were brought by the three tanks in front of them, and the three armored heavy machine gunners in front stood on the road that was sandwiched by the crowd and saluted.

When the vehicle drove about 300 meters ahead, it was a large open space, and the commander-in-chief and Li Zongren were standing there waiting. Seeing those vehicles coming, the commander-in-chief and Li Zongren raised their hands, and the generals behind also raised their hands and saluted those martyrs!

Those vehicles quickly drove to the open space, and then they were parked neatly, and then there were the infantry units of the expeditionary force, and they all came back on foot, because those vehicles had to stay on the side of the expeditionary force, and they needed them, so the soldiers who returned home this time were all on foot.

"Ahh ~”

"Welcome home!"

"Welcome, welcome!" The reporters on both sides of the road shouted loudly after seeing that the soldiers on foot had returned,

Especially when the first unit to pass was under the banner of the 99th Division of the 99th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, the people and the Chinese reporters who came to welcome them all applauded.

They knew that the 99th Division was brought out by Hu Bin.

After the infantry unit returned, standing on the open ground, Li Zongren issued a speech on behalf of Chongqing to welcome the expeditionary force back to China, and then the commander-in-chief welcomed the officers and men of the expeditionary force home on behalf of Yan'an, affirming the merits of the expeditionary force and the hard work of the officers and men of the expeditionary force.

After the media report on this day went out, it caused a huge repercussion in the whole of China, they saw the above figures, and were very shocked, the Northern Front Expeditionary Force, the first and second batch of soldiers went abroad to fight, a total of 372,871 people, of which 71,234 were sacrificed, 47,818 were seriously injured or disabled, and 821942 enemy were annihilated, of which 389121 were killed and 432821 captured.

This was a very remarkable victory, but the great sacrifices made by the Chinese Northern Front Expeditionary Force were also seen by many people, and they were more understanding and supportive of the soldiers of China's anti-Japanese war.

When Hu Bin saw this report in Wuhan, it was already afternoon, and Hu Bin had been sitting by the stove with this report, and had not moved for several hours, and there were cigarette butts on the ground.

"Commander, Deputy Commander: Xiaobin lives here!" Li Tianxing and Ning Ze were walking into the courtyard with the commander at this time, and the commander was going to come over to welcome those martyrs back to China, and now the ashes of those martyrs were to be transported by plane from the airport in Yunnan to Hubei.

The commander and deputy commander both came to welcome the souls of those martyrs back to their hometowns, because more than 80% of the soldiers who sacrificed their lives were from Hubei, and they were all soldiers recruited by Hu Bin here, and they followed Hu Bin to the front line to fight, and Hu Bin took them out, but there was no way to bring them all back alive.

"Commander, deputy commander, you're here!" Zhang Fan and Mo Shot saw the commander and deputy commander coming over, and stood at the door to greet them.

"Where's Xiaobin?" The commander asked.

"Inside, with that newspaper, has been sitting there for hours without moving! Don't let us bother us in the past! Mo Jie's eyes were red and he said, Zhang Fan also didn't look over.

"Let's go, go in and have a look." The commander nodded and said, Zhang Fan and Mo Jian also opened the door, and then the commander, the deputy commander, Li Tianxing, Ning Ze, and Zhenguo, who came over, all entered the house where Hu Bin was sitting, and the commander walked inside, looking at Hu Bin still holding the newspaper in one hand, lowering his head, and holding a cigarette in one hand.

"Xiao Bin!" When the commander saw him like this, he shouted.

Hu Bin heard it, raised his head, and saw that it was the commander who came over, Hu Bin stood up: "Commander, deputy commander, why are you here?" ”

"Hey, sit down, come, let's all sit." The commander sighed and walked to the stove where Hu Bin was baking, and the commander sat down beside Hu Bin.

"Sit down!" After the commander sat down, he saw Hu Bin still standing there in a daze. Hu Bin nodded and sat down.

"Commander, I didn't expect that after a few battles, the sacrifices would be so great, and there would be so many injuries and disabilities. Most of them were soldiers I had recruited from Hubei, and when the parents of those children handed them over to me, I said that I would definitely bring them back, but, but, but, woo! ~" After Hu Bin sat down, he covered his face with his hands as he spoke, and cried.

And Zhenguo, who was sitting opposite Hu Bin, was quite shocked to see Hu Bin like this at this time, he had never seen Hu Bin crying,

In his consciousness, Hu Bin is an anti-Japanese hero, a commander who commands hundreds of thousands of troops to fight, a person who is not even afraid of death, a person who is not even afraid of bloodshed, how can he shed tears. When the commander saw Hu Bin covering his face and crying there, the commander also hugged Hu Bin and let Hu Bin lean on his arms.

"Woo wow wow~" Hu Bin lay in the commander's arms and cried bitterly, the commander patted him on the shoulder, and the tears in his eyes were also rolling,

He can understand Hu Bin, when he was fighting, in order to win, many times, he didn't care how much he sacrificed, but every time he finished the battle and saw the number of casualties, no general could control it.

As a general, a person who commands hundreds of thousands of troops to kill the enemy on the front line, few generals can be cold-blooded, and they all hide somewhere alone after the war to cover their chests and endure the pain in their hearts.

To outsiders, this is a number, but for those commanders, these are living people, all flesh and blood soldiers.

At this time, the commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, Li Tianxing and Ning Ze, no one spoke, they all raised their heads high, so as not to let their tears flow.

After a few minutes, Hu Bin left his head from the commander's arms, sat up straight, wiped away his tears, and said to the commander: "I will go to the airport tomorrow to welcome those soldiers back, I took them out, and I will take them back here!" ”

"Yes, tomorrow you will wear the clothes of an ordinary soldier and serve as my guard to welcome those soldiers back." The Commander nodded.

"Thank you, Commander." Hu Bin nodded gratefully, now he can't go out, Yan'an has already released the news to go out, Hu Bin's body has a problem, and now he is recuperating, everyone in the country knows that the commander can receive tens of thousands of letters from all over the country every day, all asking about Hu Bin's physical condition.
