Chapter 119 Yu Xiaoqing was stunned! "A regiment's fine weapons and equipment? Regiment leader, are you crazy?" Meng Fanlao looked at Cun Yunsheng. Does the Sichuan Army still lack equipment? So give him Yu Xiaoqing the equipment of a regiment? What is this if not crazy? Can't you survive? "Don't worry, the regiment I'm talking about is not the equipment for a regiment that was given to the Fifth Army before, but the equipment for a normal regiment, which is equivalent to our infantry battalion." Cun Yunsheng knew that Meng Fan had misunderstood. Yes, so I explained with a smile. “Even if this is the case, it’s too much.” Meng Fangli’s tone softened a lot, and it was not unacceptable if this was the case. After all, it’s only one battalion, not too much. You can still get it together by gritting your teeth.
He also knew that without his own arsenal and relying solely on the US military for supplies, he could easily be manipulated by the US military. Hence, there was no refutation of Cun Yunsheng’s proposal to clear out the equipment at Leiyun Airport. “It’s not much, Yu Xiaoqing’s life is not easy either.” Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. "Didn't he become the commander? Isn't he still having a hard time? He is the only one in the entire expeditionary army who can be promoted after a defeat. He is worthy of being a member of the Yu family army." Meng Fan said sarcastically. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng chuckled. "Don't be envious of others. Maybe they are envious of us. I'm afraid he has no control over his position as a teacher, or in other words, he has no real power, and there are very few things he can make decisions about." Cun Yunsheng looked like he knew Yu Xiaoqing very well, which made Meng Fanlao feel suspicious. “Tuanzuo, you don’t look down on this kind of general’s disciples the most. What you mean behind your words, but it makes me think that you admire Yu Xiaoqing very much.” “I heard that you guys from the general family have a lot of fun, don’t you?” While saying that, he winked. What he got in exchange was a kick from Cun Yunsheng. "Leave far away." "Of course I look down on that kind of guard dog, but I still admire a capable person like Yu Xiaoqing. Although he is very proud, he has the capital to be proud." “In the Battle of Tangji, although the Yu regiment encountered a sneak attack by the Japanese army, the performance of the Yu regiment was still very good in a hurry.” "Being able to retain part of the troops and successfully bring them back home, just because of this, we are much better than those newly recruited or temporary wastes." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said. “Besides, now the Nujiang defense line is defended by Yu Xiaoqing. If the equipment and workers want to cross the river, they have to give Yu Xiaoqing’s nod, otherwise they won’t be able to cross at all.” "Just because we saved his life, we can't let our people cross the river?" Meng Fanxiao remembered that when Chanda was there, Cun Yunsheng reminded him many times not to trust the British army and the natives. After all, Cun Yunsheng did save Yu Xiaoqing's life. At least during the journey back home, Yu Xiaoqing completely ignored the orders of the British army and only thought about taking Yu Tuan back.
"Friendship is friendship. The current Master Yu is not something Yu Xiaoqing can completely decide. It's not that easy to block other people's mouths without giving them something, and we can't make it too difficult for Yu Xiaoqing." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said. . In the original work, doesn’t Yu Xiaoqing appreciate cannon fodder? No! He admires cannon fodder! But Master Yu cannot make the decision. Only Lin Yi was very smart and knew how to curry favor with Tang's deputy master, so he got part of the supplies in exchange for this. So Cun Yunsheng, who knew this, didn't want to embarrass Yu Xiaoqing. Offering to donate art equipment to a regiment, I believe those in the Yu division will no longer embarrass those workers and equipment. After all, you are soft-handed when dealing with others, but short-mouthed when you eat others. "Yes, I understand." Meng Fan nodded, and then started to ask the people in the communication camp to send the report. Not long after, the two telegrams were sent to different places. Yu Xiaoqing, who was contemplating the Nantianmen defense line, frowned. The Japanese army on the opposite side was very difficult to deal with and kept pursuing them. If artillery had not been mobilized at the critical moment to bombard the Japanese army, the Japanese army might have followed them across the river. "Master, a telegram from the Sichuan Army." At this time, Zhang Lixian came in with a telegram, glanced at the absence of Deputy Master Tang, and then spoke. Zhang Lixian was naturally not interested in the Deputy Master of the Tang Dynasty. He also knew that he was sent by the Yu family to supervise Yu Xiaoqing. “Sichuan Army Corps?” Yu Xiaoqing looked surprised. He was very curious as to why the Sichuan Army sent him a telegram, knowing that the two sides were completely different now. The other party became famous in a foreign land, and he became a puppet. That’s right! It is just a puppet. A puppet whose orders must be approved by others. Regardless of what kind of colonel he is now, only he himself knows this, which is a shame. I don’t know how many people laughed at him secretly. But he still pretended not to care. “Yes, it’s a telegram from the Sichuan Army Corps,” Zhang Lixian said quickly. "What's the matter?" Yu Xiaoqing did not answer the telegram, but asked calmly. “They have a group of workers and equipment that want to cross the Nu River. I hope we can help and open an opening.” Hearing this, Yu Xiaoqing frowned and wanted to refuse, but Zhang Lixian's words in the next second made him swallow it back.
“To express their gratitude, they can support our regiment with art equipment.” It’s not that he didn’t want to refuse, it was just that he was given too much. Logistics is all under the control of Assistant Master Tang. Those elite artillery troops cannot be mobilized at all. What he can control is Zhang Lixian's guard camp. They are all the foundation of the original Yu Tuan, and it can be said that they are loyal to him. If you have this regiment's beautiful weapons and equipment, it means that your voice in Yu Division will be more important. At least the deployment of troops will become more calm. This is why Yu Xiaoqing finds it difficult to refuse. "Master, why don't you refuse? Who knows if the people they crossed the river were workers, maybe soldiers or something." Zhang Lixian curled his lips and said. In fact, as Yu Xiaoqing's confidant, he knew that his master was tempted, but he was too embarrassed to speak. So he pretended to refuse, just to let Yu Xiaoqing take the bait. As expected, Yu Xiaoqing glanced at it and said in a cold tone. “You are really generous, you just don’t want the art equipment of a regiment?” “Isn’t that what Shangfeng said, blockade the Nu River and don’t let anyone cross the river?” Zhang Lixian scratched his head and said. “You remember the order from the top of the mountain very clearly, but the one from the top of the mountain didn’t specifically say that you can’t cross the river.” Yu Xiaoqing sneered. “I’ve guessed what he had in mind. Isn’t it the equipment and workers at Leiyun Airport?” Hearing this, Zhang Lixian looked at the other party curiously, could he not be tempted? “Do you want to ask why I am not moved?” Yu Xiaoqing seemed to understand his thoughts, glanced at the map with an expressionless face, and continued. “What if we are tempted? Without a stable rear, those equipment are just a pile of scrap metal.” “Besides, it doesn’t matter if I go to the top, so why should I worry about it?” “Since the Sichuan Legion is interested, let’s give it to them as a convenient favor.” “Perhaps if there are any difficulties in the future, we have to count on the other party for support.” There is one thing that I haven’t said yet, which is to repay the favor to Zenda. What he dislikes most is being owed favors. "Then let me make arrangements?" Zhang Lixian nodded, thinking that what Yu Xiaoqing said made sense. They couldn't protect themselves now, so how could they have time to mess with these equipments and so on. Since others are interested, just treat it as a favor and exchange it for a regiment’s fine equipment. "Well, be careful. In addition, the guard battalion will find a way to expand its size. When the equipment arrives, it will be replaced immediately." Yu Xiaoqing said with a hint. Hearing this, Zhang Lixian quickly expressed his understanding.
When Zhang Lixian left, Yu Xiaoqing looked at the telegram in his hand, then looked at the map, and then picked up another telegram. Tengchong was lost, and old man Cun went on a hunger strike to commit suicide. This shocked Yu Xiaoqing. She didn't expect that the men from the Cun family could be so bloody. From top to bottom, no one flinched. Hence, he appreciated Cun Yunsheng more and more. Even if he guessed that Cun Yunsheng was smuggling those workers and equipment and had other ideas, he treated it as invisible. The most important reason is that Yu Xiaoqing is also very disappointed with the people in Shancheng. "I hope you can make good use of these equipment and workers." Then he stared at the map and began to conceive of the defense line of Nantianmen. On the other side, Major General Cun Xingfu at Lei Yun Airport had not rested for two days and two nights, which made the subordinates around him very worried. “Sir, you’d better take a rest. We’re keeping an eye on the security of the airport, so there won’t be any problems.” The subordinate tried to persuade him. As a result, Cun Xingfu shook his head and refused. “It’s better to be busy, it’s better to be busy. If you’re busy, you won’t have random thoughts. I can’t sleep now because I’m not tired.” First, the third brother died in the war, and now his father died on hunger strike. There is nothing I can do, and it is the first time I feel like such a failure. He did not dare to close his eyes because he was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would think of his father's kind face. So, he must keep himself busy and try not to think about these things as much as possible. "But please eat some food. If you don't eat or drink like this, your body won't be able to survive." The subordinate advised again. "I know my body will be fine for the time being." Cun Xingfu shook his head and said. At this time, the communications staff came in with a telegram and spoke. “Sir, a telegram from the Sichuan Army Corps.” Hearing this, Cun Xingfu's eyes lit up and he quickly received the telegram. The beginning is to express the sorrow of the grandfather, and the following is analysis. The next target of the Japanese army must be Leiyun Airport. The Japanese army has long wanted to remove this thorn in their side and flesh. Cun Yunsheng even warned that if it really comes to a critical moment, you can retain your useful body, retreat first, and then plan for it slowly. It is a pity that Cun Xingfu, who only wants revenge, directly rejects his nephew's proposal. "It's a good time. I'm still depressed that I can't kill the kid and avenge my father. Since the kid is coming, I'll let him have a try. I'm not a vegetarian." Cun Xingfu sneered. As for the last suggestion that the equipment and workers could be removed first, after thinking about it, Cun Xingfu finally agreed with his nephew’s suggestion. Let the workers take the equipment to the Nujiang River, and let Master Yu from Nantianmen be responsible for escorting it. If it were before, he would definitely not have dared to make such a decision privately. But he also wanted to understand some things in the past two days, especially the telegram sent by Long Yun, which vaguely mentioned that after Shancheng abandoned southwest Yunnan, he was extremely disappointed with Shancheng.
So this time, he decided to follow his nephew's suggestion. Maybe these devices could play a greater role in the hands of his nephew. And he himself was prepared to fight the Japanese army in a **** battle at Leiyun Airport. Even if he died in battle, he would not dishonor the reputation of a man from the Cun family. In other words, at this moment, he was already determined to avenge his father. "Send my order and enter combat readiness immediately. The Japs are coming." Cun Xingfu read the telegram and then ordered to his subordinates. “Yes.” His subordinates responded quickly as they looked at Cun Xingfu who had regained his luster. Halfway through writing at noon, I fell asleep and went straight to sleep. I had diarrhea in the middle of the night last night and didn’t sleep well. I woke up just in time and finished writing more than 6,000 words in one go. I posted two of them together! There will be more later!
