Zen reached Henglan Mountain, the former Yu division headquarters...
This is a villa courtyard located on the mountainside. It was originally supposed to be the private property of a wealthy landlord, but was eventually requisitioned by Yu Xiaoqing as his only command post on the east coast.
During the confrontation with the Japanese army for more than a year, the former had already built this courtyard like a military fortress, with machine gun battle stations and ring fortifications stacked on top of each other, as well as several forts that looked daunting.
And now... the defense here is even better than before. The fully armed soldiers stand three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. There are a full regiment of troops guarding here, and they are basically American-style equipment, including combat defense artillery. There are countless positions for anti-aircraft guns and machine guns, and they even brought in a few Sherman tanks.
"His uncle, this posture... the one from Chongqing is probably nothing more than this." Meng Fangli impatiently handed over his identity document to the guard, still mumbling.
After crossing the river from Chanda Huitong Bridge, they rushed to Henlan Mountain non-stop, but the garrison force here refreshed the understanding of Meng Fangliao and others.
Soldiers patrolling along the road into the mountains can be seen everywhere. This is already the fifth checkpoint. Every time I have to check them from beginning to end, I have to pull off my pants to see if there is anything inside.
"Haha, don't be surprised, sir. We have confirmed your identity and can pass through, but they must stay here."
In the checkpoint box, a lieutenant officer just put down the phone, saluted and apologized with a smile on his face, and at the same time slowly pointed his arm towards the convoy behind.
"These are our Junzuo guards, why are they not allowed in?" Meng Fangliao questioned.
"This is a rule from above. Every troop commander who enters from here is like this. He can only lead one guard squad at most."
The lieutenant was neither humble nor arrogant, and continued to smile, but there was an irresistible meaning in his attitude.
"Brother, you have to take a closer look. We are from the Honorable Third Division of the 88th Army. The man sitting in the car is our deputy commander of the South Burma Route Army. You must have heard of his name, right?" Seeing the other party's attitude Being tough, Meng Fanglia began to prepare to use his status to oppress others.
"Haha, of course I have heard of the officer's humble position, but rules are rules. Please forgive me for this order."
The lieutenant still had a polite smile, unmoved at all: "There is one more thing. I have to ask you to hand over your guns before entering the conference room later. But don't worry, sir, the jade will be returned to Zhao intact after it is over."
"What a shame, isn't this just a disguised disarmament? Ask the men behind me if they agree!?"
Meng was annoyed and his temper was rising. He wouldn't let him do this or that, no matter what he said. In the end, he had to hand over his gun. Who could bear this?
"I'm sorry, sir, these are all orders from General Stilwell and General Wei Lihuang. I am just following orders. Please understand."
The lieutenant put away his smile and stepped back slightly. The defenders behind him immediately became alert with their guns in hand. It was obvious that this inexperienced guy was not following Meng Fanfeng's tricks.
The worst of the troop commanders who came here today were major generals, and there were several lieutenant generals. Without exception, they all had to follow the rules. Obviously, Liao Mingyu's team could not give him the green light.
"Okay, stop making trouble!"
Liao Mingyu glanced at Meng Fan with a strange look. This boy had lost some of his tact and coquettishness now, and became more and more confident and powerful.
"Jin Zuo, it's mainly because this kid is so annoying..."
Meng Fan was about to say something else, but was stopped by the former with a wave of his hand. It was better to keep a low profile here than in his own territory, where leaders from all armies gathered. It was better to keep a low profile.
"Why are you all gathering here and arguing? Which army are you from!?"
At this moment, a middle-aged officer wearing an American combat uniform walked out of the inner courtyard with his men. Looking at the tensed people at the door, his brows furrowed into a frown.
"salute!"
The lieutenant immediately put his legs together and shouted loudly. The other guards quickly stood at attention and saluted the officer. Only the members of the third division who were not aware of the seriousness remained where they were, still staring at each other coldly.
"Who can tell me what is going on?"
"Reporting to General Sun, they are from the Honorable Third Division of the New 88th Army. They have just arrived at Henlan Mountain and are preparing to enter the meeting place. They just have some differences in security arrangements and gun control." The lieutenant did not exaggerate and spoke truthfully.
"Honorary Third Division?"
The middle-aged officer was slightly surprised, and his deep eyes immediately looked at Liao Mingyu, who was standing in the front row. At this moment, the latter was also looking at him curiously.
"You...are Liao Mingyu?"
In fact, this is not difficult to guess. I have long heard that a dark horse appeared in western Yunnan. In just two years, he was promoted from a regiment commander to the deputy of the first army. He led the Honorary Third Division to be invincible in the jungles of Myanmar. Except for the man in front of him. Who else could be an extraordinary young man?
"Yes, if I guess correctly, you should be Sun Liren, General Sun, right?" Liao Mingyu nodded and asked with a smile.
"Well, that's right. It seems that our confidentiality work needs to be strengthened. You can recognize me at a glance." Sun Liren made a rare joke, which surprised the guards next to him.
He was dressed very casually, not wearing a general's uniform, just a very ordinary American military uniform and jacket, without even a flower on the collar, and an M1 steel helmet on his head. If you were standing in a crowd and didn't know this, I thought it was just a big-headed soldier.
Although he had never actually met Sun Liren, Liao Mingyu had seen the former's photo from an article in the original time and space, so he had some impressions in his mind. Coupled with the title from the lieutenant, he guessed that this aura was quite strong. That's probably the officer.
"General Sun, I have long admired your name!" Liao Mingyu suddenly stood up straight, raised his hand and saluted first.
Seeing another legendary figure in history, Liao Mingyu felt a sense of emotion when he saw Sun Liren, who was much taller than him. He also had great respect for this "Jungle Fox" who killed the little devils in Myanmar and made them run away like rats.
Dare to be there
This famous Anti-Japanese War general was born in the 26th year of Guangxu's reign. He is already 44 years old this year, but there are not many traces of time on his face. His height of 1.85 meters is slightly thin, and he stands out in the crowd. generally.
Sun Liren raised his hand to return the salute and said with a smile: "Haha, I often heard about the amazing deeds of your third division when I was in India. When I saw them today, they were all fierce and fierce, but they didn't give the two inside them any face."
Two black lines flashed across Liao Mingyu's face. How could he not hear the meaning in his words? He had to smile bitterly and apologize again and again: "The general is joking. These guys are usually too arrogant. I will definitely discipline them if they turn back."
"Okay, it's okay to stand here. Let's go in and talk." Sun Liren smiled calmly, turned around and gave the order to the guard:
"Let them go, and you don't have to hand in the guns. But there are too many guards, and it's hard to control them when they go in. Just stay in the camp at the foot of the mountain like them. Someone will make arrangements here. Brother Liao, what do you think?"
As he said this, he looked at Liao Mingyu, giving each other a step up.
"It all depends on the general's arrangements."
Of course Liao Mingyu would not refuse, and his polite appearance shocked Meng Fan and others.
They have never seen Jun Zuo be so "reasonable" and show such heartfelt respect, even when facing Commander Song and Commander Wei...
