On the way back, Long Wenwen hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Come here, I don't know whether to say something or not."
Liao Mingyu didn't talk nonsense and gave him a look to let him understand.
"Uh...will there be any problems if we kill prisoners like this? After all, the number is so large. If the superiors find out, then you..."
The meaning of Long Wenwen is very obvious. The national army rarely captures Japanese soldiers, especially in such a large number this time. If it were reported back, it would definitely cause an uproar.
But this group of prisoners of war were all killed by Liao Mingyu. If the superiors blamed them, it would be difficult to get away. After all, the number was different from the previous dozens. It was more than two thousand people. If someone with ulterior motives caused trouble, , maybe the chief of staff can’t be saved either.
"What are you afraid of? Isn't that Tanaka Shinichi who lost his hand planned to be sent to Chongqing? Isn't a Japanese Army Lieutenant General more important than those two thousand prisoners?"
Liao Mingyu rolled his eyes and said nonchalantly, he was not stubborn, how could he not know to leave a way out for himself.
Besides, which army in the country now has three divisions that can fight? This is a golden sign, who dares to touch them? The head of state also hopes that he will continue to fight with this group of people.
"Aren't I also worried that the credit that should belong to you will be wiped out by those gray grandsons again?" Long Wenwen said bitterly. Although the backstage of Ginzuo is not small, he also has many enemies.
"That's all you need to worry about. As the old saying goes, there are times in your life that must come to you, and there are times in your life that don't exist. Don't force yourself, just let nature take its course." Liao Mingyu said nonchalantly.
After finishing these things at hand, the next step is to go to Myanmar. By then, the sky is high and birds can fly, and the sea is wide and fish can jump. Who can control him until the Japanese are finished?
The only thing that needs to be worried about is the supply line and the replenishment of soldiers, but didn't the dog system say that after having a base area, the system will usher in a qualitative leap, and according to that person's virtue, he should not let himself go hungry.
As long as the brothers under my command work together, there will be no way out in Myanmar, but when it comes to this issue, we need to think about it carefully.
Looking at the somewhat uneasy Long Wenwen next to him, Liao Mingyu gradually fell into deep thought. Although he didn't care about the gains and losses in officialdom and career, these brothers may not care. Can they think the same as him?
According to Long Wenwen's character, he has no pursuit of promotion and wealth, otherwise in the original time and space, he would not have repeatedly rejected Yu Xiaoqing's olive branch, and finally forced himself to a dead end.
Except for him, most of the guys who came from the Sichuan Army are not thoughtful people. As for the young guys Meng Fanle, A Yi, Chen Jize, Xing Fuquan, and Hong Mu, they are now considered to be in high positions. They are in their twenties. Year-old regiment-level cadres are not common in the army, so why do they need bicycles? At least now I can still control them.
Thinking of this, Liao Mingyu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Why did he still doubt his brother? No one can stand the criticism of others, but you might as well do better yourself.
Liao Mingyu asked himself that he had done a good enough job for these brothers. To say that he had absolute control over this unit was really not a guarantee. That was just saying that it would not be possible even if Wei Lihuang came.
…
"It's been three days, why is the 53rd Army still in Baijiawan? Even a rat knows that Zhou Fucheng won't move if he moves to his home?"
"The Second Army still claims to be elite. It cowers like a girl when fighting. Call Song Xilian to seize the offensive in Gaoligong Mountain."
"The Japanese troops coming to Fengshan made another sneak attack at night. Doesn't Huo Kuizhang have a long memory? Get me to the 20th Group Army headquarters immediately. I want to ask him personally whether he knows how to fight!"
At the Zenda Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Wei Lihuang's sonorous voice filled the entire compound, and the staff present did not dare to speak out for fear of getting into trouble.
Although the forces of the two armies were concentrated to encircle and suppress Tengchong, the battle situation was still not ideal, mainly due to the steep terrain and the more powerful Japanese army.
This cannot be blamed on Wei Lihuang's incompetence. You must know that the original history of the 44-year expeditionary force's counterattack was full of various setbacks.
At that time, there were only more than 10,000 Japanese troops in western Yunnan, and they were still distributed in Longling, Songshan, Mangshi and other places. There were only more than 2,000 defenders in Tengchong, so the troops were not concentrated at all. However, under this situation, the Battle of Tengchong was still It lasted for more than three months before it ended.
Now it is the end of 1943, and most of the troops of the 56th Division have not been transferred away. The unit structure is still relatively complete. There are more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers entrenched around Tengchong, which makes it even more difficult for the expeditionary force to attack.
Coupled with logistical supply problems, the battle only lasted for less than half a month, and the two armies were already dwarfed by each other.
Although supplies are constantly being transported from the rear, they are all prepared for a few elite members of the direct lineage. After all, not every unit is raised like a son like the Honorable Third Division. The few supplies are not enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops every day. One day’s consumption.
After losing his temper, Wei Lihuang sat back in his chair helplessly. The defeat on the front line made him feel even more stressed. Judging from the situation on all fronts, it would be impossible to regain Tengchong in a short time.
"Commander, please be patient."
Deputy Commander-in-Chief Huang Qixiang came over with a cup of tea and said softly: "The current situation is a foregone conclusion. All the attacking troops are exhausted. I think it is better to postpone the offensive, re-integrate the strength, and then proceed slowly."
Wei Lihuang rubbed his swollen temples and said tiredly: "Well, this is the only way... He ordered the 20th Army to gather the troops to rest and regroup, and wait for the next batch of replenishments to be made before making plans. Let the Sixth Army Move south, and cooperate with the Second Army to capture Gaoligong Mountain first."
"Report!"
At this time, a communications soldier hurried in with a telegram and said to Wei Lihuang excitedly:
"Reporting to the commander, a telegram was sent from Mangshi. With the cooperation of the 200th Division, the Honorable 3rd Division severely damaged the 18th Division, annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, captured the flag of the 56th Regiment, and captured more than 2,300 enemy troops. , including division commander Tanaka Shinichi."
"However, the Japanese prisoners of war collectively made trouble and have been killed. The remnants of the 18th Division are currently fleeing westward. Chief of Staff Liao is preparing to lead his troops to continue marching westward."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. This news was so shocking that it was difficult for everyone to accept it for a while.
Wei Lihuang looked shocked. He quickly grabbed the telegram and looked at it carefully, still mumbling: "How did this battle happen? Isn't this too fast?"
The two group armies were blocked outside Tengchong and could not move. Instead, the third division responsible for the reinforcements took the lead in opening up the situation. Not only that, they also overfulfilled their tasks.
That was a division, and it was just wiped out by the third division? On the other hand, it is really embarrassing to think that even though our side has the advantage in strength, we are still helpless against the 56th Division.
