"Leader, here are the candidates for the reconnaissance team. Take a look at what needs to be adjusted."
In the headquarters, Long Wenwen handed the drafted personnel list and schedule to Liao Mingyu for review.
A total of 15 people went to the West Bank this time, including veterans of the Sichuan Army such as Yao Ma, Bu La, and Dong Dao. There are also Milong, Yangdanzi and newcomer Zhang Liu among them.
As soon as they heard that they were going to pick up Meng FanLe's relatives, each of them asked to join the investigation team without hesitation. Originally, Long Wenzhang disagreed, but he couldn't stand the grandsons blocking the door and arguing every day.
Long Wenwen was confused, but he finally agreed. After all, these guys are all veterans of the battlefield, which will make him more confident in the next action.
The remaining few people are also experienced warriors. Equipped with the firepower of the strongest team, they can escape unscathed even if they encounter an imp on patrol. It shouldn't be a big problem.
Liao Mingyu was looking at the schedule seriously without saying anything, while Long Wenwen explained to him:
"I made a new plan based on the new situation. We started from Luqiao Township, crossed the bridge and rushed to Heshun Town along the path. The 15 people were divided into two teams. After arriving at Heshun Town, they first rescued Meng Fanle's parents, and then a team of The team escorted him back to Luqiao Township."
"The rest of the team will continue to stay near Heshun Town and conduct reconnaissance on the Japanese positions as appropriate. But the only thing that needs to be worried about is whether it will alert the Japanese army, because they still have to look for Meng Fan's parents... The probability of this happening is very high high."
After Long Wenzhang finished speaking, he took a peek at Liao Mingyu. To be honest, he did not recommend such behavior.
According to his idea, it is best for the investigation team to have no more than five people. It was only for the rescue operation that he increased the number to 15 people. However, this could easily lead to the failure of the entire investigation operation.
It is very likely that the Japanese patrol will also find Meng Fanle's parents when they find them. Although they are confident that they will bring Meng's father and others back, forget about exploring the Japanese positions.
"Ask the first battalion to arrange two companies to guard Luqiao Township to provide timely support in case of emergencies."
Liao Mingyu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking about the details of this operation:
"The investigation team will set off from Luqiao Township at 2 o'clock tomorrow morning and arrive near Heshun Town around 5 o'clock. Remember, this time the main focus will be on rescue and investigation as a supplement. If it is not possible, give up the investigation operation, but we must bring as many people as possible with us. The annoying mother-in-law is back!"
"clear!"
Long Wenwen nodded in response. It seemed that the group leader was determined to save the old couple. Then he no longer hesitated and turned around to arrange the next matters.
…
In addition to the Sichuan Army Corps, which is training intensively, the Yu Division next door has also been idle recently.
More than half a year has passed since he first entered Myanmar to fight, and Yu Xiaoqing finally received the American support he had dreamed of.
The Langa training camp was established in India some time ago. The British provided the venue, the Americans provided the money, and the Chinese continued to send soldiers to India from the Hump Line.
At the request of the superiors, he sent a group of elites from the main regiment and the special agent battalion there to receive training from the Yankees.
The British were eager to regain their colonies in Southeast Asia, and the Americans were also concerned about their interests in this land. Therefore, the Allied commanders urgently hope that the Chinese side can open the Yunnan-Burma Highway as soon as possible and counterattack Burma.
China lacks everything except people. This is exactly the opposite for the Allies. They have an abundance of supplies but not enough soldiers to fight. In other words, their soldiers in Southeast Asia are more delicate than a group of women.
At the end of 1942, various weapons and equipment were transported to the frontline troops in western Yunnan, and senior Chinese military officers were also preparing for the upcoming major counterattack. But the top officer with the bare head was a little hesitant at the moment. Faced with the urging of his allies, he made concessions to them while making his own plans.
Because his eyes were still fixed on the eroded frontal battlefield of his country, he really didn't have the energy to worry about the fire in other people's homes, even though the fire had already burned in his own backyard.
But aren’t the Japanese attacking now? Most senior officials in the country hold the idea that they can live one day at a time. Anyway, there is no urgent moment. There will naturally be people on the front line to support the situation. What do they have to panic about?
Comfort, or for the sake of comfort!
At this point, there is a difference between Yu Xiaoqing and those wastes who are not enterprising. He only wants to achieve great achievements and prove his abilities while also wanting to kill all the invaders. At least his heart is still burning.
During the last offensive and defensive battle on the Nu River, the weapons of the Sichuan Army opened his eyes. Those beautiful weapons and equipment were indeed more than a little powerful. So he eagerly wanted his troops to have such weapons and equipment.
For this reason, Yu Xiaoqing showed a side that few people know about. Shangfeng used the reason of transportation inconvenience to prevaricate him, so he built the road himself to clear the way. Shangfeng also said that there was a shortage of supplies, so he asked for help in various ways and tried to build relationships with everyone. He has endless good things to say and wastes his energy, just like a beggar.
It can be considered that Huangtian paid off, and finally he got what he wanted. Now the soldiers who went to the Langa training camp are also returning one after another, along with a large number of beautiful weapons and equipment and technical advisors from the Allied Forces.
Garand, M1 carbine, Thompson, flamethrower, the weapons delivered were barely enough to equip his main regiment, and many of the guns were seriously worn.
Because most of them are old weapons replaced by the US military in the Pacific battlefield, they may be sent to the Chinese after simple maintenance and repairs in the rear.
But this also made him extremely happy. He was still wondering what Liao Mingyu would think when he saw this scene.
If Liao Mingyu really saw it, he would probably only say two words: garbage!
"Colonel Smith, this is my troop situation and subsequent attack plan. Do you see anything that needs to be added?"
In the Yu Division headquarters, a large group of officers were discussing matters, and among the many officers there were also faces that were not foreigners.
Yu Xiaoqing was looking longingly at this old foreigner from across the ocean. This was a big Buddha, and he was careful and did not dare to neglect it.
The translator standing aside quickly translated Yu Xiaoqing's words to Smith.
This white officer in his fifties with slightly gray hair was a military advisor sent by the Allies, and he was also the person in charge of managing front-line logistics supplies in the Nu River.
After hearing this, Smith said nothing more and said to Yu Xiaoqing with flat eyes: "I have nothing to add, but I have a question. How long will it take for you to launch an attack on the Japanese?"
"The specific attack time depends on the preparations of the troops. If your army can provide more support, I think our attack will proceed faster."
Yu Xiaoqing showed his rare smile. After all, he wanted to continue to get more military assistance from this American.
"I will try my best to talk to the higher-ups about supplies, but I have no confidence in your combat effectiveness. Can this team of less than 6,000 people really capture the fortress on the other side?" Smith said doubtfully.
Except for their main regiment, which was still decent, Smith was very unfavorable to the remaining soldiers in this unit.
The most important intelligence showed that the number of Japanese troops on the other side was no less than theirs, and Smith still had fresh memories of the combat effectiveness of those yellow-skinned dwarfs.
