Chapter 371 Reminder from the top
Now Veterinary Hao has basically left the frontline troops and continues to work as an angel in white behind the stable hospital.
Although the veterinarian's medical skills are limited, his heart of a living Buddha is unmatched by anyone. Meng Fanglia once said, don't look at this old man's endless chatter, but if I am about to die, I will die.
If you want to have him by your side, at least he will hold your hand tightly with his wrinkled old hands and say words that will make your skin crawl, making you feel less lonely when you leave.
Now the veterinarian is the deputy director of the divisional field hospital. Although it is a casual position, it is more stable and stable. He is not busy at ordinary times, because Li Lei has done all the busy things, and he only needs to smile and hold a pipe in his hand.
The hospital helps him, and everyone has to address him as vice president when meeting him.
This old angel in the eyes of everyone is now considered to be blessed. After all, people in their fifties may die if they are not careful in the increasingly fierce battlefield. This is what no one wants to see.
If possible...Liao Mingyu is willing to support him like this for the rest of his life.
But there is one more thing that must be done, otherwise the time will still be like the original time and space, hitting this good old man with bruises all over his body. Liao Mingyu does not want to see Vet Hao who has become Alzheimer's due to the pain of losing his son.
That's why during this period of time, he asked Yu Sifan to use the power of their investigation bureau to find the veterinarian's son and find a way to transfer him to his army.
This can avoid tragedy and reunite the veterinarian with his son. It can also satisfy the old man's last wish. Why not do it?
"The 101st Division of the 35th Army is Fu Zuoyi's unit, right? By the way, how are the negotiations going now?" Liao Mingyu took a sip from his water glass and asked expectantly while holding the documents.
"Yes, sir, the 35th Army is Commander Fu's unit. Currently, I have arranged for my men there to contact Hao Zhipeng. At the same time, people from the Shanxi office will also inform the regiment commander to make personnel arrangements. I expect they will also
We will not deny the investigation bureau status just because of a company commander."
Yu Sifan confidently replied that there were not many people in China who dared to stop the people the Investigation Bureau wanted.
"Haha, I have to trouble you again this time. Say hello to Boss Dai for me..."
As he spoke, Liao Mingyu accidentally glanced at a string of numbers. He didn't pay much attention just now, but now he inadvertently thought of a familiar number in his memory:
"Hey wait!? The 358th Regiment of the 101st Division? How can it be the 358th Regiment? Is their commander's surname Chu?"
"Um... I'm sorry, I haven't done much research on the information about this regiment leader. I just know that this regiment is also a strengthened regiment, and its combat effectiveness is considered top-notch among the 35th Army."
Looking at Liao Mingyu who suddenly became fanatical, Yu Sifan was very confused. What was going on with him? Why did he become interested in this group again inexplicably?
"Sure enough...it can't be such a coincidence, right?" After listening to his explanation, Liao Mingyu's face looked extremely wonderful, and he couldn't help but murmured to himself: "The 358th Regiment has appeared, and the Northwestern Shanxi Iron Triangle is probably also there.
Is it nearby?"
"Northern Shanxi Iron Triangle? What is that?" Yu Sifan asked curiously.
"Haha, it's okay. Please check this group leader's information for me later. If he is from Huangpu Phase 5, we probably know each other."
Liao Mingyu smiled without comment, which further confirmed his suspicion. Maybe there are some other interesting characters in this time and space.
"It's time to sit down, but there's one more thing... This is a personal letter from Boss Dai to you. Please read it."
"oh?"
Liao Mingyu was a little surprised. He quickly took it and took a look, but the short content of the letter made him frown:
Mingyu, first of all, I congratulate you on your rapid progress in Myanmar. The head of state speaks highly of your recent achievements and plans to leapfrog the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force system and form a new army.
But you also need to understand that haste makes waste. Being in a foreign country and having a strong will will arouse some suspicion.
Slowness makes things smoother, slowness brings peace to people, deep water makes flow slow, and slow speech makes people noble. Don't do anything too hastily. Remember...
After reading it, Liao Mingyu tapped the table and thought deeply. Director Dai's few simple words in the letter secretly revealed two meanings.
First, the 3rd Division and the 200th Division were invincible and achieved important results in the Myanmar battlefield. This was in sharp contrast to the main force of the expeditionary force that was still trapped in western Yunnan and could not get out. The head of state expressed that he was very happy and that there might be new awards.
appointment.
The second thing is that you have been a little nervous recently. Doing things too hastily and not caring about what others think will definitely cause trouble and suspicion. You need to pay more attention to it.
From a strategic point of view, the position of the Third Division is very important. The bald head of state should want to expand the Third Division to coordinate with the expeditionary force and the troops stationed in India.
Western Yunnan really needs a capable "Meng Zhang Fei" to bring victory to China. Just some time ago, the news that Liao Mingyu successively conquered Wanding, Nankan, and Lashio shocked the high-level circles at home and abroad. This also made the head of state there.
He earned enough face in front of the foreign guy with his nose in the air.
But the tangled mentality has always affected the heart of the head of state. Look... He has won another battle, how should he be rewarded? It is not too much to upgrade these achievements by one level, right?
Although he could fight, Liao Mingyu's high-profile appearance and strong demeanor also made the head of state a little worried. In addition, in addition to his record... regardless of his seniority or closeness, this paranoid supreme commander was hesitant.
In addition, the former is now in a foreign country, and the degree of control he has over him can be said to be minimal. The secret slander from other people with ulterior motives makes the head of state still undecided.
If it weren't for Liao Mingyu's ability to fight and his status as a sixth-term trainee, as well as the guarantee and recommendation of Boss Dai, General Chen and others, the head of state might be considering transferring him back to the country for inspection and inspection before making another decision.
As one of the people closest to the head of state, his ability to observe words and emotions was quite good. Director Dai quickly noticed something, and immediately sent a cryptic reminder letter to Liao Mingyu.
Maybe some of my recent actions have made some people unable to sit still, and then they make some small moves to discredit themselves, Liao Mingyu thought.
Although I control two divisions now, most of the logistics support has to rely on domestic methods. Even if I exchange money from the system, I have to go domestic. I am afraid that one day the person standing at the top of the pyramid will be chopped off with a knife. In that case, I
Even if you don't die, you have to be disabled.
It seems that it is time to expand the war situation. Only by establishing a base as early as possible can we completely free ourselves from domestic constraints. Otherwise, these guys are like the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads, giving you gesticulations from time to time.
Liao Mingyu raised his head and looked at Yu Sifan with a burning gaze, but there was an unpredictable meaning in his eyes:
"Well, it's okay. Let's go and get busy first. But you have to take Hao Zhipeng's transfer to heart, and ask the Intelligence Department to collect the enemy's movements in the direction of Bhamo and Myitkyina in the past few days. The troops... are about to go north."
"Understood! I'm sorry to say goodbye..."
…
In the next few days, Nankan once again entered a state of combat readiness.
First, the third main force group moved to the east of Bhamo, and together with the second main force group, they set up a posture and prepared to attack north.
However, Chen Jize did not go with the troops, but handed over the command of the third regiment to Hong Mu, while he stayed at the chariot camp and followed closely with Yuan Li escorting a large amount of ammunition and supplies.
Li Wula and Krupp also led the artillery regiment and began to march north. Hundreds of military trucks of various types and towed artillery were slowly driving on the road. The marching line of the large and powerful troops was spectacular.
At present, the artillery regiment has 24 m114155mm howitzers and 36 Krupp 125mm howitzers. In addition to the artillery, it is also equipped with a light infantry battalion and a mechanized independent transport battalion, as well as Li Jie's air defense battalion. The regiment's artillery of each caliber exceeds
70 doors.
Although it is only a regiment, its total number exceeds the 3,000 mark, and its combat strength is terrifying, even worse than the division-level artillery regiment of the US military.
Now Li Liansheng is the favorite of the entire division. He holds his head high wherever he goes, and the commanders of each regiment are usually polite when they see him, which makes this boy's vanity burst.
These are all artifacts of land warfare. The artillery can account for at least half of the credit for the Third Division's current combat effectiveness.
No matter which unit is fighting, they want their artillery support. Since the establishment of the artillery regiment, they have never been at a disadvantage in frontal artillery battles with the Japanese. On the contrary, they have repeatedly suppressed the opponent, which also made each unit suffering from the fear of insufficient firepower quickly
Taste the joy of all-round firepower coverage.
The fat and thin combination of Li Liansheng and Krupp is also a very unique scenery. The former is shrewd and experienced, can handle the affairs and relationships between artillery departments with ease, and can also arrange the troops in an orderly manner.
The latter is completely a technical backbone. He is inseparable from planning artillery positions during wartime, setting the firing angles of each gun position, as well as maintaining the artillery and shooting training of soldiers in peacetime.
After all, he was a professional, and this fat man didn't know how to do anything but have sex and eat, and he didn't care about it at all. The two of them learned from each other's strengths and got along extremely harmoniously.
Two infantry regiments plus an artillery regiment, a troop movement of seven to eight thousand people, frightened the little Japs in Bhamo Town, because the Japanese troops guarding here only had one unsatisfied regiment.
The Bhamo garrison immediately asked for help from the headquarters in Myitkyina, but now everything in the north and east was reduced to a mess. The situation was so severe that the commander-in-chief of the 15th Army, Shojiro Iida, was almost bald. How could I break this situation?
He has to ask his mother for help.
Not to mention the 31st Division, which was locked in a stalemate with the Indian Army in the Hukang Valley, the split 33rd Division alone was already at a loss. One part had to go east to meet the remnants of the retreating 56th Division, and the other part had to go eastward.
The meat grinding ground in the Hukang Valley was filled, and the rest had to defend the Myitkyina headquarters. There were no spare troops for support.
In addition to asking for assistance from the Southeast Asian Front Army Headquarters, Iida could only huddle up and defend as much as possible in order to hope that the situation would turn around.
…
On the Nankan side, only the guard camp that knew how to use swords was left, and the whole town suddenly became empty and desolate.
The more than 200 soldiers who survived the Lashio Defense Battle, including Meng Fan and several others, have returned to Nankan. In addition to the battle plan these days, the replenishment and reorganization of the first main force regiment is also a top priority.
Liao Mingyu was distressed but also very anxious about the regiment that had lost its establishment. There were only more than 1,300 soldiers left in the supplementary regiment, and they were all old and weak from the previous troops. They were obviously not suitable for reorganization.
Require.
So he quickly sent a report to the Western Yunnan Headquarters asking for people, but the answer he got was that there were no additional soldiers at the moment, and it would take some time for the materials and military pay that were supposed to arrive to be delivered.
This is like a thunderbolt from the clear sky. Is retribution coming so damn soon? He was his biological son half a month ago and now he is an unloved orphan?
Wei Lihuang also finally explained that because the consecutive days of Tengchong Battle had caused heavy losses to the two armies, all frontline units urgently needed a large number of troops to supplement, and since the third division was located far away, priority was not given to supplementing.
The same thing applies to supplies. Wei Lihuang is helpless. It's not that he doesn't give them, but that he prioritizes them. After all, his own troops have suffered tens of thousands of casualties. The situation of your third division is not bad at all. Give them to me right now.
Just to save face, please be patient.
Liao Mingyu, who had received the accurate letter, had no choice but to fight with the Chief of Guard. Now he could only make up his own mind.
There was no choice but to select hundreds of decent soldiers from the supplementary regiment, and all the remaining soldiers who were too young or too old were assigned to the auxiliary troops.
Five hundred people were separated from the guard battalion, and some were taken from the escort companies of the two transport regiments, barely making up more than 1,500 people. No matter what, we first set up the frame of the three infantry battalions of the first regiment.
Chapter completed!
