"The meeting time is set at nine o'clock in the evening. Now the commanders of all the armies are basically in place. The only one missing is your South Route Army. I really don't understand where your kid is wrong. You can't sit on the right side of the plane. We must abandon the near and seek the far..."
Sun Liren walked in front with his hands behind his back, joking with a calm expression.
After some conversation, I found out that Liao Mingyu actually came all the way from Myanmar by car. It took him more than ten hours. If he hadn't seen someone arrive at the end, I would have thought that he was not going to participate in this meeting.
"Haha... The main reason is that we don't have a transport plane at Nankan Airport. If we arrange it again, the time will be almost the same as driving, so we just..."
Liao Mingyu, who was afraid of airplanes, could only smile bitterly and find an excuse at random.
"This meeting is mainly to discuss the action plan for the next war against Japan. The position of your Southern Route Army is very important. You can actively propose at the meeting to go south as soon as possible before the Japanese react."
"But then again, your Honorable Third Division is the most capable of the entire expeditionary force. My brothers are looking forward to cooperating with you."
"Haha, General Sun has received the award. I couldn't ask for it. The Japanese have bullied me too much. It's time for them to pay for it with blood." Liao Mingyu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a firm expression.
Sun Liren nodded, with some admiration in his eyes. The two chatted happily like friends they had not seen for many years. Even the surrounding guards were confused. Is this still their unsmiling general?
Maybe...this is the sympathy between the two iron-blooded soldiers.
"It's a pity that the voices in the country are not unified. They stopped it at this juncture, resulting in a missed opportunity. It's really disappointing."
Liao Mingyu gave a thoughtful sermon. He was talking about the counterattack on Myanmar some time ago, but the top leaders of the Kuomintang Party were unwilling to invest more troops.
As soon as the Battle of Myitkyina ended, we were ready to call a halt. If it weren't for the excitement of many generals in western Yunnan and the strong pressure from Stilwell, perhaps even this military meeting would have been dispensed with.
Baldhead still wants to solve domestic problems first and is not willing to spend time in Myanmar making wedding dresses for Britain and the United States.
"I don't understand politics, and I'm too lazy to think about it that much. As a soldier, it's great to be able to do your part for the country and the nation!"
Sun Liren waved his hands and expressed that he did not want to discuss those things. His idea was simple. As a professional soldier, the most important thing was to do his best to defeat foreign enemies.
"The general is really heroic and heroic, and he is really a role model for us. I have learned a lesson from you." Liao Mingyu smiled slightly and flattered him.
"Ha... I'm not a role model. Others will just say I'm a monster. It's too late to avoid me."
Sun Liren shook his head indifferently, raised his head and pointed to the side room next to him:
"You guys should take a rest here first. The meeting will start in two hours. Someone will come over to make arrangements then."
"Okay, thank you General for leading the way."
"have a good rest."
Sun Liren took a deep look at Liao Mingyu, nodded, and then turned around and left.
Meng Fanlao rolled his eyes and ran over to gossip: "Jinzuo, he is the commander of the New First Army? He has a very aura. I heard that 80% of the battles of the Indian Army They were all defeated by their army, good guy, this leader is almost a head taller than me..."
In this era when the average height is less than 1.7 meters, there are indeed very few people who can grow to 1.85 meters.
"I used to play basketball and participate in the Far Eastern Games. I'm also a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University. What do you think?"
Looking at that resolute back, Liao Mingyu fell into deep thought and sigh. Although the contact was only about ten minutes, he could feel the ambition and courage of this famous anti-war general.
Strictly speaking, Sun Liren can be regarded as a tragic hero, and he did live upright in his life, but this also paved the way for the tragedy in the rest of his life.
He is outspoken and frank, and his straightforward personality is incompatible with his colleagues in the Kuomintang. He has never been very popular in the military circles, and is often deliberately made difficult by some colleagues.
After all, within the Kuomintang military circles where there are many factions, only when everyone works together can they be united. Sun Liren, if you are so outstanding and unconventional, you will be regarded as an "alternative".
Chiang Kai-shek himself loved and hated him. What he loved most was his military strategizing and commanding abilities. He was a rare general. What I hate is that he has never been interested in his "political tasks" and is almost indifferent.
But after all, he was not born in the direct line. How could the suspicious old Chiang Kai-shek trust this tiger general who had outstanding abilities and was very close to the United States? The best proof is that he finally evaded his military power.
It is hard to imagine that Sun Liren, a talented student at Tsinghua University who once studied at the Virginia Military Institute in the United States and was called the "Rommel of the East" by the British, did not join the Kuomintang before the end of the Anti-Japanese War. He said he did not understand Politics is absolutely correct.
It wasn't until he was transferred to Baodao by Chiang Kai-shek in 1947 that he submitted the party application. However, a few years later he was expelled from the party by Chiang Kai-shek, and was dismissed from all positions due to the so-called "mutiny case". He became an American and A political victim of Chiang Kai-shek's game, all his meritorious deeds during the Anti-Japanese War were deleted and he was imprisoned. This period...is 33 years!
In his later years, Chiang Kai-shek once recalled: If Sun Fumin had some political acumen, I should be the one imprisoned...
Such an ending is really cruel to this famous general of the Anti-Japanese War, sad...sigh...
However, there is a saying that Sun Liren was definitely a tough guy soldier on the anti-Japanese battlefield. He graduated from Tsinghua University and studied abroad, and then decided to join the army to serve the country. He was injured in 13 places during the Battle of Songhu and was unconscious for three days and nights. He resolutely led his troops to fight abroad, and the "Ren'an and Qiang Victory" became world-famous.
The 18th Japanese Division was defeated in the Hukang Valley, and the Great Seal of the Pass was captured, forcing Major General Tagawa to commit suicide by disemboweling himself. He pushed all the way south from Mengguan and Myitkyina to Hsipaw. His First Army even wiped out all the enemies in the war. The largest number of military-level units.
From the perspective of the nation and the country, he is worthy of anyone. Even in the big dye vat of the Kuomintang, he can keep his original intention unchanged. This is the quality that a pure professional soldier should have. This is why Liao Mingyu particularly admires him. The place.
…
At 8:50 in the evening, the sky was as dark as ink, and the night was hazy and silent, but there were still crowds of people in the courtyard of this semi-military villa on Henlan Mountain.
After all, those attending the meeting are all top leaders of the various armies in western Yunnan, and at the very least they are generals at the level of division commanders. If this defense work is not done properly, the consequences are unimaginable.
In the main conference room, a huge long square table was gathered around. When Liao Mingyu came in, it was already full of people. Although he didn't recognize most of them, there were still a few old acquaintances who glanced at him...
