"Then you are still going? I heard that the Burmese Expeditionary Force fought miserably. Many brothers from the Sichuan Army died in the Savage Mountain, and tens of thousands of them never came back."
The lieutenant colonel's eyes showed some worry, and he was obviously not optimistic about the situation there.
"Fan Bao, your vision is just too narrow. Now the expeditionary force is no longer what it used to be. The Japanese in Burma are retreating steadily. You don't usually understand these things? You know how to get around in one day?" Kiln!"
The fat commander said in a tone of irony, and slapped the lieutenant colonel on the head: "Besides, how can we not fight if we are afraid of death? Why did I come out of Sichuan? What are those millions of Sichuan troops doing? What!?"
"Ouch... Commander, please calm down. I am worried about you even though I am a humble official." Fan Bao covered his head and quickly admitted his mistake.
The fat commander rolled his eyes and shook his head helplessly. Then he took out the sealed letter from his briefcase, held it in his hand and shook it: "Do you know why the head of state wants to send me to Burma? What should I do when I go to Burma?" What?"
"I'm not sure about this... humble position."
"Hmph! He, Bald Jiang, just wants me to go to Myanmar to capture the tiger, and then capture the leopards, wolves and dogs under the tigers and do his bidding."
The fat commander squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully. He slowly glanced at the white clouds outside the window with his peripheral vision. There was a bit of sophistication in his deep eyes, which was very different from his naive appearance.
Tear...
"Oh, Commander! Why did you tear up the secret message the Führer gave you?"
The fat commander snorted coldly, patted the scraps on his hand and said nonchalantly: "Our head of state still uses these methods. Is that tiger so easy to subdue? I don't want to be a spearman for him!"
"But as the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. You mean no harm...are you not afraid of the evil intentions of the Burmese?" Fan Bao
"Adjutant Fan, remember, this muddy water is not easy to flow through. Let's treat it as if we are going abroad to have fun. Don't think about all the evil things. If you can live in Myanmar, then stay there well. If you can't, then stay there." Live...at worst, I'll just go back to Sichuan, I still don't believe he can shave off my belly."
The fat commander said proudly, there is a proverb in Sichuan that is to have a pig face but a bright heart. Even though he looks like a fat ball turned into sperm, he knows better than anyone in his heart.
…
Ding Xiaoer took a rag and took advantage of this moment to wipe the dust off the jeep while looking at the straight figure in front of him.
"Senate, who are we waiting for? We've been standing here for a long time."
"Haha, I'm waiting for a commander..." Liao Mingyu looked into the distance and said without looking back.
Behind him, Dong Dao, Zhang Liu, and the soldiers from the guard camp lined up. More than thirty soldiers stood as straight as javelins.
As early as a few days ago, Liao Mingyu received a notice from his superiors. In addition to the establishment of the New 88th Army and the arrival of Fan Shaozeng, there was also a transfer order issued by the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs.
The order stated that he should immediately report to the 58th Division of the 74th Army in the Ninth Theater and be under the command of General Xue Yue. As for any position he would take, he would wait for the next step.
This was obviously a ploy by Minister He and other senior officials of the Military and Government Department to drain money from the bottom of the pot, but the head of state responded to this matter with a tacit approval. Apparently, he was beginning to feel a little uneasy about the full-fledged Liao Mingyu.
After receiving this transfer order, Liao Mingyu thought for a long time. He said that he would definitely not be able to go. Wouldn't it be just right to be led by someone like this? Besides, he had worked hard in western Yunnan for so long, how could he let others pick it? peach?
But it is definitely not possible to openly disobey orders. After all, we are not completely free from the control of the government yet, and if we are really tough, we will give those people a better handle. The head of state is already suspicious by nature, and he will only become more passive by then.
You must know that the 74th Army is Wang Yaowu's army, and this is Minister He's capable subordinate. A large part of his current status is due to Minister He's care. If this is over, why not be killed?
Coincidentally, the former commander of the 58th Division was also named Liao. He was the famous anti-Japanese general Liao Lingqi who was shot dead by Chiang Kai-shek two years ago.
This graduate of the fourth class of Huangpu participated in the Northern Expedition, the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Nanjing Defense War and other battles. During the Battle of Changsha, when the entire army was defeated, he led his troops to attack the Japanese headquarters and rescued the troops. In the end, he was not unjustly shot for various reasons, but it was actually very embarrassing.
The Ninth War Zone was a wolf's den, and there was no return. After much deliberation, Liao Mingyu decided to play the game of surrender and wait until he was soft.
First, he sent a telegram to General Wei, who had always supported him, explaining the situation. Then he sent a message to Stilwell, who had never ignored him, saying that he would immediately cooperate with the combat operations of the troops stationed in India, but only if he wanted to use the latter to deal with the situation. Let’s communicate with the Chongqing government.
This order was first stopped by Wei Lihuang on the grounds that the Northern Burma Campaign was imminent, and Liao Mingyu, the commander of the southern route troops, was determined not to leave.
The performance of the third division is obvious to all, and Liao Mingyu is now starting to "sensible". Of course, Stilwell does not want to change his generals on the spot. Who knows what kind of decisions a new commander will make?
Anyway, there was no good person sent by Peanuts. With this idea in mind, Stilwell immediately decided to stumble the Chongqing side and resolutely not allow the generals of the frontline combat troops to be replaced.
He is the deputy commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Theater. He holds international supplies to support China in one hand. In terms of identity and status, he has the strength to challenge Baldhead.
These two shields instantly protected Liao Mingyu tightly. In addition, a certain person involved pretended to be stupid and violated the order. In the end, the order of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs had no choice but to be ignored.
Although the Ministry of Military Affairs later sent a reprimanding order for neglecting military aircraft, it was of no use to Liao Mingyu. As long as I didn't leave voluntarily, could you still come to Myanmar and kidnap me back?
After fucking taking Myitkyina, I turned around and attacked Mandalay. Once I entered central Myanmar and opened up a base, let’s see if you grandsons still dare to point fingers at me.
Although the matter came to an end, Liao Mingyu was interested in the fact that the head of state sent Fan Shaozeng to serve as army commander.
In addition to his brilliant achievements, this famous Sichuan commander also had a unique style of conduct. At best, he was a maverick, at worst, he was a strange flower. He did things that ordinary people could not understand.
The world has mixed reviews about his ridiculous behavior and experiences, but it is undeniable that he is indeed a tough guy.
He demonstrated his dignity as a Chinese by actively resisting the war externally, and resolutely opposed the sword-fighting between brothers internally. He launched an uprising in Qu County, Sichuan in 1949. After the founding of New China, he held many positions and was one of the few high-ranking military officers in the government who died a good death.
On the other hand, although it is said that Fan Shaozeng has a bohemian character and is upright and forthright, no one who has gotten to this point is simple. Who is not a thoughtful person? Liao Mingyu also wanted to test his capabilities this time and find out the other party's true intentions...
