Chapter 149 Reason? There are so many reasons! (Second update!) In Myitkyina, Zhang Lixian, who had been dealing with affairs for three consecutive days, stood up and stretched his muscles. Before this, he only had a general understanding of the Sichuan Army. It mainly stays in writing. What a great record, full of beautiful weapons and equipment. It wasn’t until after reading so many documents that I realized that the Sichuan Army was much more powerful than it appeared on paper. The total number of people in the group is close to more than 7,000, and this is just on paper. It is said that there are still some things that are not on paper, such as support teams, guerrillas, etc. Perhaps more than 10,000 or 20,000. However, these are all core secrets. As an officer who has just joined, he knows so much, and he already takes it seriously.
“Sir, Staff Officer Lin Yi wants you to go to the headquarters.” At this time, a soldier walked in and said. “Okay.” Zhang Lixian nodded and followed the other party to the headquarters. This was originally Cun Yunsheng's headquarters and bedroom. That's right, when he was in Myitkyina, he was either patrolling the battalions and companies, or he just stayed at the headquarters and fiddled with the map day after day. I sleep at the headquarters at night. But now it has become Lin Yi’s headquarters. “Consultant Lin.” Zhang Lixian stood at attention and saluted when he saw Lin Yi. Although the two men have the same military rank, their positions are different. "You're welcome, how about it? Those documents shouldn't trouble you, right?" Lin Yi said with a smile. He still has a good impression of this junior. As everyone knows, in the original work, these juniors were a little respectful when they were just recruiting soldiers, but when they heard that they had never fought in a war, they couldn't help but feel contempt, but in the end they still admired Lin Yi. Because Lin Yihuo became another dragon article. “No, I didn’t expect the Sichuan Army Corps to be so strong. This is not even a regiment. It’s even more powerful than a division.” Zhang Lixian sighed with emotion. Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled and said nothing. There were some secrets that he couldn't tell. Even if he is a junior, he can’t say it. He still has a good understanding of this point. "Commander Lin, what do you want from me?" Zhang Lixian finished sighing and looked at Lin Yi in confusion. “The leader just sent me a telegram, asking what you think?” Lin Yi smiled and handed over the telegram he had just received. With doubts, Zhang Lixian opened the telegram.
In addition to the normal inquiries, the above are the arrangements for Zhang Lixian. One is to stay at the regiment headquarters as a combat staff officer. Seeing this, Zhang Lixian glanced at Lin Yi unexpectedly and asked him to serve as combat staff officer, which meant that Lin Yi must be the chief of staff. After all, his military capabilities have been continuously improved during this period, and he has gradually been recognized by most people in the Sichuan Army. It is not impossible to serve as a combat staff officer. However, Zhang Lixian still yearned for the battlefield, so he continued reading patiently. The second option is to serve as the commander of the newly formed 6th Battalion. At the same time, rush to the airport, take the Yankee transport plane, and go to Hsipaw to participate in the battle of Lashio. Seeing this, Zhang Lixian's heart skipped a beat. Participate in the battle against Lashio. Is the Sichuan Army going to take action against Lashio? The reason why the expeditionary force suffered a disastrous defeat was not because Lashio was occupied by the Japanese army. Now that the Sichuan Army is about to recapture Lashio, this is simply a great opportunity to avenge previous humiliation. Just thinking that I am a new member and that I am so reused. Zhang Lixian was moved and worried for a while. “Tuanzuo, do you value me so much?” Zhang Lixian’s eyes were a little wet. It is absolutely false to say that I am not moved. As long as Yu Xiaoqing had the courage to attack Nantianmen regardless of his superiors' orders. Even if he died in battle at Nantianmen, he would die without regrets. But that person was too hesitant and lacked the temperament to take responsibility. “Everyone in the Sichuan Army is valued very much by the regiment.” Lin Yi said, patting the other party on the shoulder. “I remember, this is the sentence Tuan Zuo said the most.” “What?” Zhang Lixian looked at the other party curiously. “There are no heroes falling from the sky, only ordinary people who stand up.” “He believes that everyone in the Sichuan Army is an ordinary person, but he believes that such a group of ordinary people will definitely create miracles, so you have to believe in yourself.” "You can do it, don't live up to Tuan Zuo's expectations." After Lin Yi finished speaking, he looked at the other party with an even bigger smile. “Hmm.” Zhang Lixian took a deep breath, nodded heavily, and then asked again. “What else did Tuanzuo say?” Now he is more and more curious about Cun Yunsheng, which is different from the first time they met.
Now he really wants to understand what kind of person the other person is. "Anything else? Let me think about it..." Lin Yi thought for a while and then said. "Well, one more thing, it was in Bhamo, a major of the British army asked the regiment." “He saw the straw sandals we were wearing and asked.” “What will happen to your straw sandals in winter?” Zhang Lixian was moved when he heard about straw sandals, which were the standard equipment of the expeditionary force at that time. Except for officers, soldiers basically wear straw sandals. “How did you answer?” Zhang Lixian especially wanted to know how Cun Yunsheng answered at that time. “The Tuanzuo said: We have no intention of living until winter.” Lin Yi was still in awe when he said these words. Zhang Lixian was moved when he heard this. “Tuan Zuo is really an amazing person.” Zhang Lixian suddenly felt a little regretful for some of his previous misunderstandings. "Yes, so I have to protect Myitkyina for him now, and absolutely no problems will be allowed." Lin Yi also said firmly. “Okay, I’ve told you so much and wasted a lot of time. Have you made your choice?” "Well, I want the front line. I want to participate in the battle against Lashio. Even if I die on the front line, I will have no complaints." Zhang Lixian said solemnly. "Okay, I see, you are not interested in the staff. In that case, you go to the airport. The Sixth Battalion has completed its assembly and is waiting for the transport plane. It just so happens that you can also take this opportunity to get familiar with them." Lin Yi nodded. He immediately asked Zhang Lixian to go to the airport to get acquainted with his troops. “Yes, Staff Officer Lin.” Zhang Lixian nodded, and the moment he turned around, he gave another military salute. “Senior, take care.” “I will remember what you told me.” After saying that, Zhang Lixian left the headquarters, got into a jeep, and drove toward the airport. Although he has learned through documents, an infantry battalion of the Sichuan Army has close to a thousand people. I didn’t feel much at that time, but now when I look at the dense crowd of soldiers in front of me, I still feel a surge of pride in my heart. At the airport, the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion were serious and there was no noise. Even if the commander is not around, he still maintains his standing posture. I have to say that Cun Yunsheng is very good at military training. In fact, his request is very simple, that is, to pay attention to military discipline. No loud noises are allowed at any time. Two people form a row, three people form a line! Even specially set up a gendarmerie to enforce military discipline. In addition, various honorary titles are awarded to squads and platoons with outstanding performance through various evaluations.
Cultivation of the spirit of honor among soldiers, and let them understand that every time they gain, they will be honored, and every time they suffer, they will suffer. In addition, certain rewards will also be given in material terms. With a variety of means and a multi-pronged approach, military discipline has been greatly improved in a very short period of time. With a brand-new military appearance, equipped with powerful weapons and equipment, the combat effectiveness will be extremely terrifying. “My name is Zhang Lixian, and from now on, I will be your battalion commander.” "In the days to come, I will fight side by side with you, live and die together!" Zhang Lixian took a deep breath, looked at the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion in front of him, and said loudly. “Live and die together!” The soldiers of the Sixth Battalion burst out with a thundering roar. At this time, the roar of transport planes came from the sky. I saw transport planes landing slowly and then opening their doors. “Let’s go!” Zhang Lixian waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to board the plane. … Just when Cun Yunsheng was preparing to lead his men to attack Lashio. But I met a special guest. In other words, he never expected that he would meet such a guest here. “German?” Cun Yunsheng looked at the blond, blue-eyed, high-nosed William in front of him speechlessly. “Yes, distinguished Lieutenant Colonel, I didn’t expect to see you here.” William did not have the inherent rigidity of the Germans, but showed a kind smile. “I really didn’t expect to see Germans here.” Cun Yunsheng said helplessly. “Let me guess, you came here to do business with the Japanese, right? Then you encountered my troops attacking Hsipaw? So you didn’t leave in time?” Hearing this, William nodded and admitted. “That’s right, we just negotiated a medicine deal with the Japanese army, and before we could evacuate, Hsipaw was captured by your men.” “Dear Lieutenant Colonel, I didn’t expect that your troops were not inferior to the German armorers back then. No, they were even stronger. Especially the M4 tank, which is no longer weaker than our Panther tank.” “I didn’t expect that America’s military development would progress so fast. This is not good news.” Cun Yunsheng hasn’t said anything yet, but the person in front of him has said a lot. “Arms dealer? Or transnational businessman?” Cun Yunsheng asked. War is a good opportunity for these multinational arms dealers to make a fortune. Especially in Myitkyina, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses, and all the wounded soldiers were concentrated in Hsipaw. Because the Japanese army did not consider that they would be defeated miserably, they did not carry many medicines. With so many wounded people suddenly appearing, a large amount of medicine will definitely be needed.
It was too late to transport it from the mainland, so we had to find these multinational arms dealers. There are many multinational arms dealers like this in Shanghai. Even the former Xiangjiang had quite a few. There are arms dealers from all over the world. “Your Majesty, Lieutenant Colonel, knows us very well.” William chuckled. "Yes, but I think besides medicines, are there other businesses? For example, rubber?" Cun Yunsheng suddenly remembered that after the Japanese army occupied Southeast Asia at this time, the German army seemed to have sent a submarine force to arrive here. In addition to intercepting Australian merchant ships arriving in the British Isles, it also purchased some scarce supplies, such as rubber. Hearing this, William looked at the other party in disbelief as if he had seen a ghost. “You, you, how do you know.” William felt his scalp was numb, and his eyes were filled with a trace of fear. “I guessed it.” Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. This is really a guess! He remembered that after the Japanese army occupied Southeast Asia, the German army did send a submarine force over, with the purpose of weakening the British army and completing the plan to trap the British Isles. Who would have known that I just said it casually and actually guessed it right. Actually, William is speechless. Can you guess this? Had it not been the first time he met Cun Yunsheng, he would have suspected that the other party had planted a spy. At the same time, William's fear deepened. He seemed to have thought something was wrong. Cun Yunsheng knew about it, which meant that the Allies would also know about it. If this is the case, wouldn’t the Allies also have to send warships over? You must know that not far from here is the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Empire. Although the Mediterranean Sea is now controlled by the Italian Navy, in fact the strengths of the two sides have gradually become unequal. If the Allies knew that the Germans had sent submarines. Then warships will definitely be dispatched for anti-submarine warfare. The reason why they did not send warships before was because the British army wanted to completely solve the European battlefield before coming over. But if the German army wanted to cut off the British merchant ships, it would definitely be different. It should be no problem not to mention sending the main force, but at least a fleet. Thinking of this, William felt that he should not come to see him.
You should keep a low profile then! Looking at William's increasingly frightened expression, Cun Yunsheng wondered for a while, he had done nothing, so why was he so afraid? Think about it for a moment! He suddenly understood what the other party was afraid of. “Don’t worry, the Allies don’t know about your plan to send a submarine yet, but with your cipher machine, the Allies will probably know about it in a short time.” Cun Yunsheng chuckled. William looked at each other blankly. Is there something wrong with their cipher machine? How can this be! It should have been a lie to him. But he was very curious about what the other person meant when he said this. “Aren’t you going to tell the Allies? This is a great achievement.” William still couldn’t help but ask. "That's not necessary. Anyway, what you are going to attack is a British merchant ship, and I don't have a good impression of the British army." Cun Yunsheng said casually. It's not like blowing up his merchant ship, so what does it have to do with him? What was weakened was only the potential of the British army. He is still eager for the other party to do this. Hearing this, William became even more puzzled. “Aren’t you allies?” “Yes, allies can sometimes be betrayed.” Cun Yunsheng smiled even happier. “Okay, I won’t tease you anymore, let’s go. With your status, you will be able to reach Yangon easily.” Hearing this, William nodded, and then looked at the other person in surprise. "Why? If you hand me over to the Allies, it will be a big achievement." "Why? How can there be so many reasons? If you have to give a reason, thank you for training the German mechanics for us." Cun Yunsheng thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the reason. Oh, another one is Rabe. “German Mechanic.” William murmured. “Wait a minute, can you get some mechanical equipment?” Seeing William turning to leave, Cun Yunsheng suddenly shouted. Also, there are four guaranteed updates today! Try to make up for what you owed yesterday!
