Hearing the greeting, the young man named Chen Tang strode over.

I saw that he was a little over 1.7 meters tall and a little thin, but he was very energetic. His deep eyes were cold and the ferocious scars were even more sharp.

"Boy, how many years have you been in the army? How many little devils have you killed?"

Monk Zhou looked up and down and nodded with satisfaction. He was considered a veteran in the army, and he could feel that Chen Tang's temperament was definitely not something that a raw melon egg that had never seen blood could possess.

"Eight years have passed. When we were in Nanjing, our tank crew killed 33 people, and also killed a Japanese bean tank. Unfortunately...the infantry..."

Chen Tang seemed to be deep in thought as he spoke. In the final battle, the convoy was forced to follow the large troops to withdraw from Zhonghua Gate, but encountered the Japanese army on a street.

Although he and his comrades drove British Vick tanks to resist desperately, the enemy had an advantage in numbers, and the accompanying infantry company did not understand the coordination of infantry and tanks at all. As a result, the flanks of the tanks were completely exposed to enemy firepower, and they were eventually defeated by the Japs. The incendiary bomb ignited the car body, and the two comrades were instantly killed in the flames. He himself also suffered extensive burns.

After Chen Tang recovered from his injury, he moved to the rear. His uncle Feng San happened to be serving in Zhao Gongming's transportation group, so he simply took him with him to serve as a military truck driver.

Suffering a double blow to his body and mind, Chen Tang suffered from severe post-war stress syndrome. He could never forget the unforgettable pain. The scene 6 years ago was like a lingering nightmare, like a magic lantern. The movie reappeared in his mind repeatedly,

From 1942 to 1945, the Siamese government provided a total of approximately 1.5 billion baht in military expenditures to the Japanese army. The Japanese stationed more than 300,000 troops in Siam to help their allies achieve the "**** circle". construction.

In order to pay for the huge expenses of the Japanese garrison, the Luang Phibun government had to print a large amount of banknotes, which led to inflation and skyrocketing prices, and people's living costs rose sharply, but it also provided the Japanese with a good logistics base in Southeast Asia.

However, this stupid country became one of the few winners after the end of World War II, which has to be criticized.

Since he is about to enter Southeast Asia, Liao Mingyu is also thinking that if he has the opportunity, he must teach these Siamese monkeys a lesson.

But getting back to business, the most urgent task is to decide whether to attack the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army. If we want to support, we must first open the Burma Highway, enter Myanmar, and then move south to the Wa State. However, this cannot be summarized in a simple sentence. After all, there are still two or three Japanese divisions in northern Myanmar. .

But if we don’t rescue them, we can imagine that the Self-Rescue Army’s combat power, which is slightly stronger than that of the militiamen, will be in trouble in front of the wolf-like Japanese, not to mention the tens of thousands of Siamese Japs behind them.

Perhaps in the original history, they were submerged bit by bit in the torrent of history. The disparity in strength was so great that even with a talented person like Fang Jingyao, there was no splash.

But this time, history gave them a different choice. Liao Mingyu touched his chin and considered it secretly. It seemed that it was time to rewrite his destiny again.

"Brother Fang, what do you think about this matter?"

When asked about this, Fang Jingyao was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.

After all, this matter came from the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army. Although he wanted to ask Liao Mingyu for support, it was reasonable for the latter to choose not to help when he was facing huge risks.

"The Third Regiment will move towards Wanding in the afternoon. My order to Chen Jize is to capture Wanding before tomorrow night."

Liao Mingyu's words instantly cheered up Fang Jingyao, but the latter did not speak, but looked at him expectantly.

"In the afternoon, you take the engineering regiment, Jize and the others to take the lead and take advantage of the Japanese army's defeat to enter Myanmar first and approach Nankan and Waxu. I will arrange for the first and second regiments to set off immediately after the supplies are completed to expand the results."

Liao Mingyu came to the map and pointed to the various locations marked on it one by one. The entire battle plan instantly appeared in his mind.

"If everything goes well, in seven days, the First Regiment and the Third Regiment will be able to go south to the Wa State to move closer to the Self-Rescue Army, while the Second Regiment and the Engineer Regiment will block the Japanese reinforcements. By then, let Long Wenwen lead the Falcon Squad, and it is best to be able to fight with them Get in touch with your people before Japanese forces make contact.”

"Brother Liao...this time..." Fang Jingyao was so excited that he was speechless.

I originally thought that Liao Mingyu would help a group of people tentatively at most, and more likely shirk the problem in order to save himself. Unexpectedly, he actually helped without hesitation, which made Fang Jingyao feel grateful in his heart.

"Isn't he just the 53rd Division? Even the 18th Division was eaten by us, so are you still afraid of him? Just fuck him, you son of a bitch!" Liao Mingyu waved his hands indifferently and said proudly.

The reason why he did this is not to act recklessly. Fang Jingyao has been in the army for so long, and he has always been dedicated to his responsibilities and hands-on. He has arranged the affairs of the army very securely. Although he only holds the position of divisional staff officer, he also holds the position of deputy division commander and deputy division commander. The chief of staff's work was all done, and he also supported the engineering regiment.

Sometimes Liao Mingyu thought that with such a strongest assistant, it would be too easy for him to be the leader. After all, he had been the boss for so long and he would not be used to it if Fang Jingyao left one day.

Moreover, after the Nantianmen attack, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and many soldiers who died in battle had to receive pensions.

From a strategic point of view, the 53rd Division is located exactly between the Third Division and the Self-Rescue Army. If it can successfully join forces with the Self-Rescue Army after entering Myanmar and annihilate the division in one fell swoop, it will be an amazing victory.

Furthermore, if these thousands of people can be rescued, it will be a good batch of supplementary troops. After all, they came to Myanmar to prepare for a big fight. If there is an unpleasant quarrel with the senior officials of the government and there is a problem with the recruitment of troops, then But that's troublesome.

It is not uncommon for disobedient troops to be choked by high-level officials.

Supplies can still rely on the system, but people have nothing to do. If you want to gain a foothold in Southeast Asia later and establish good relations with them, there is no harm in building good relations with them. These are all ready sources of troops, not to mention Malaysia, which has been bullied by the Japanese. Chinese.

But then again, when the 100,000-strong expeditionary force retreated into the country, they were crushed by the little devils and complained endlessly. Tens of thousands of people were lost in Savage Mountain alone.

Although these self-rescue troops were driven all the way from Kuala Lumpur to northern Myanmar by the little devils, they managed to fight their way through the encirclement and interception and have not been eliminated so far. I have to say that they are really quite extraordinary.

They have no supplies and no backup, and their equipment is not unified at all. There are even more than a dozen weapons of different calibers in the army, and the disorganized logistics adds to the chaos.

Even in this case, the entire army still did not collapse. Even in the face of desperate pressure, they could still maintain confidence and continue fighting with the enemy. Maybe... thoughtful teams are different.

If they are allowed to use the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Third Division and receive proper training, Liao Mingyu believes that they will definitely be able to bring out an excellent unit with high combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
