Chapter 184 Those who died were all natives, so why feel bad! (First update!)
“I have to say that Long Wenwen is really brave.” Looking at the telegram in his hand, Cun Yunsheng couldn’t help but shake his head and said.
Originally, he wanted Long Wenwen to send troops to Mandalay or Tonggu, so as to attract the attention of the Japanese army.
As a result, this guy went straight to Yangon.
It is enough to see that this guy is not very courageous.
"You are really brave, but you have a good idea. If you can capture Yangon, basically the Japanese army in Myanmar will only have one fifty-fifth division left, which can be wiped out at any time." Meng Fan looked at it. The more I looked at the map, the more I felt something was wrong, and I even tried hard not to laugh.
“You can laugh if you want. Do you think Yangon is the same as your buttocks?” Cun Yunsheng knew why the other party was holding back his laughter.
Because from the map, the location of Yangon does look like a human butt.
After Cun Yunsheng’s reminder, Meng Fanglia finally laughed.
In an instant, the atmosphere at the regiment headquarters became much more relaxed.
“Okay, now that you’re done laughing, you can think about whether this plan is feasible or not.” Cun Yun pointed at the map of Yangon and said to Meng Fanlian.
"I think we can give it a try. The Japanese army probably wouldn't have thought that the dead troops would go straight to Yangon." Meng Fangliao analyzed seriously.
“It’s a pity that we don’t have a navy. Otherwise, we can learn the Japanese landing method and land directly from here, and we should be able to capture Yangon very quickly.”
After hearing what Meng Fangliao said, Cun Yunsheng nodded.
"You are right. Although there is no navy, as long as they capture the airport as soon as possible, there is still hope to capture Yangon."
“Only by capturing the airport and depriving the Japanese army of air superiority, it can be said that capturing Yangon becomes a sure thing.”
“So, you support the plan of death, death, death?” Meng Fangliao asked doubtfully.
“Why don’t you support it?” Cun Yunsheng asked.
“You and I both know that taking Yangon means the complete bankruptcy of the Japanese army’s plan to attack Burma. At the same time, Allied supplies can also be transported directly through Yangon, and there is no need to transship through Chittagong Port.”
“There is a complete railway here. As long as the materials arrive in Yangon, they can be transported to various places by railway.”
“The only troublesome thing is that we must not expose our relationship with Long Wenwen and others.”
“Otherwise, the British army will definitely go crazy if they know they are supported by us.”
Hearing this, Meng Fangliao couldn't help but nodded. Since he knew the true face of the British army, he didn't have much favorable impression of the British army.
"In this way, let the logistics transfer another regiment of fine weapons and equipment to Long Wenwen to ensure that he can successfully capture Yangon. Also, when he captures Yangon, Sun Yunfei should be asked to come forward. His identity is very suitable."
“After cultivating him for so long, it’s time to play his role and let all the people in the volunteer team go to war.”
From the beginning, Cun Yunsheng asked Sun Yunfei to form a volunteer team just to prevent this day.
As expected, the British army was still the same British army and would not let them go south.
At this time, the volunteer team is the best card.
A resistance army composed of a group of local indigenous people drove away the Japanese army and established their own political system.
Even if there is a problem, it cannot be blamed on him.
What’s more, is the US military behind this?
Even if the British army wants to cause trouble, they have to worry about the US military's face.
Fortunately, the British army itself is still in a lot of mess.
I guess I can’t take care of that much for the time being.
“I’m afraid it will be difficult for the British army to come back again.” Looking at the map, Cun Yunsheng could hardly suppress the smile on his lips.
Suddenly I understood why the United States and the Soviet Union joined forces to dismantle the British and French colonies after the war.
This feeling is so refreshing, but the matter that was originally handled by the United States and the Soviet Union is now handled by him, which makes the feeling even more satisfying.
“Sir, you are the one who is to blame. If the British army knew that you were behind all this, they would probably kill you.” Meng Fan couldn’t help but sigh.
“Then don’t let them know.” Cun Yunsheng said and laughed.
"Okay, let's leave the attack on Yangon to Long Wenwen. The next thing we have to do is to reorganize with all our strength."
Hearing this, Meng Fangliao suddenly asked.
“Commander, what is the organization of our task force?”
“Is it similar to a Japanese detachment?”
In addition to the normal regiments, brigades and divisions, the Japanese army.
Sometimes, in order to perform special combat missions, several regiments will be separately organized into a detachment.
So, when he learned that the Allies had given him a special service team, Meng Fangliao had always been confused. Is this a detachment similar to the Japanese army?
“Yes, it is the same as the Japanese detachment. They are all separately organized for special combat missions.” Cun Yunsheng nodded.
“Then I will call you detachment leader from now on?” Meng Fanxiao said with a chuckle.
"It's just a title." Cun Yunsheng didn't care too much about this, but looked at the map to calculate the troops he currently had.
It seems like a lot, but actually it’s not much if you break it down.
In the Hsipaw area, at least two battalions of troops are guaranteed. In the Kengtung area, the Thai army is currently increasing its troops and at least five infantry battalions are needed.
In addition, important towns such as Lashio also require a certain amount of troops.
In this case, at least ten battalions of infantry will be needed in the front and rear.
After calculation, the troops on hand are seriously insufficient.
Thinking of this, Cun Yunsheng frowned. The troops were still not enough.
“Tuanzuo, do you want to expand them into a group?” Meng Fangliao asked again.
“No, being a battalion commander is already their limit, and beyond that, they cannot hold the position based on their commanding abilities.”
"We will not expand regiment-level units for the time being. They will still be at the battalion level. Promotion too quickly is not necessarily a good thing." Cun Yunsheng shook his head. He felt that the current position was already the pinnacle of their personal abilities.
Perhaps with a few more years of training, I might be able to hold the position, but I definitely can’t do it now.
“But isn’t it true that Die Die commands tens of thousands of people?” Meng Fangliao asked doubtfully.
"His capabilities are at the regimental level at most. In fact, he is more suitable for special operations. This kind of large-scale operations requires very high requirements on the commander's ability to adapt to changes." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.
Meng Fanglia immediately heard other meanings from Cun Yunsheng's words and asked doubtfully.
“Tuanzuo, are you not optimistic about their battle?”
"There is no problem with the plan. We can capture Yangon without any accidents, but there may be heavy casualties." Cun Yunsheng said casually.
"Huh? Why don't you remind me?" Meng Fangliao asked anxiously.
"The dead are all indigenous people, what does it have to do with me? Even if one hundred and eighty thousand people die, what does it have to do with us? Do you want national independence and freedom without paying the price with blood? Is it possible?" Cun Yunsheng said lightly.
The reason why one regiment is given more art equipment is to allow Long Wenwen to recruit more points.
With the military quality of the indigenous people, there will definitely be heavy casualties by then.
But it doesn’t matter!
Anyway, the most indispensable thing here is people.
“You are still cruel, but I don’t know if Shi La Shi La can understand what you mean.” Meng Fangli said with emotion.
"Don't worry, he is so smart, he will definitely understand what I mean." Cun Yunsheng said confidently.
"In addition, send a telegram to Zhang Ruzhi to congratulate him on his promotion to deputy director of Kunming Station, send him a congratulatory gift, and give him the list in my hand and ask him to find a way to get it." The list is a list of officers he has recently selected based on the list sent by the military commander.
First of all, the direct lineage must be crossed out. It is too troublesome, can easily attract attention, and is not cost-effective.
So the list of people to choose from is much shorter.
However, Cun Yunsheng saw a few people from the list provided by the military commander.
One is Duan Zhenguo, currently the commander of the Bayonet Battalion of the Expeditionary Force.
Needless to say, this person's ability is indeed very powerful. The key is that he has two brothers who are also very powerful.
Just like the Cun family, all nine sons of the Cun family became soldiers.
Therefore, if he is poached, it is estimated that several brothers can be packaged and poached together, and the officer corps in his hand will also have some cards.
Otherwise they are all cannon fodder, and the one with the highest military rank is Lin Yi.
Another person is Han Shaogong, who originally had the rank of colonel, but ended up offending Shangfeng, and his rank was wiped out. Currently, he has some free time at home, and the military commander can find ways to poach him.
His other two subordinates, Captain Qin Daling and Second Lieutenant Yang Wen, are both good.
This is why Cun Yunsheng has temporarily stopped expansion.
Once these people are recruited, we can consider expanding into a group.
“Huh? So many people?” Meng Fanglia looked at the list in his hand and was startled.
If these are all dug out, the strength of the Sichuan Legion will grow to a new height in a short period of time.
But are you sure this won't cause trouble?
"How much? What we lack now is mid-level and senior officers. We have received so many benefits, so how can we do nothing if we don't contribute?"
“Do you really think that my things are so easy to get?” Cun Yunsheng sneered.
“Tell him, after this is done, the quantity of rice next month will be mentioned as 5,000 tons. Can such a huge profit still keep their mouths shut?”
“Ah? Where did we get so much rice?” Meng Fanglia asked anxiously again.
"Well, you need to open your eyes. We don't have that much, but others do. Siam doesn't have much of anything, all it has is rice. Instead of having so much rice looted and sent back home by the Japanese army, it's better for us to **** it. Sell it, no matter what, this batch of rice will still fall into our own hands. "
"How much can those people eat? And they can't sell it to make money?" Cun Yunsheng looked like he hated iron.
Where is this?
Southeast Asia!
Rice is harvested three times a year, and the most indispensable thing is rice.
How much rice did the Japanese army plunder during their two-year occupation here?
How much does it matter if he grabs a little bit?
“Yes, group seat.” Meng Fangliao stood at attention and saluted.
“Go ahead and let the military commanders figure out a way. Don’t do nothing when you get the benefits.” Cun Yunsheng said calmly.
…
Kunming Juntong Station, Zhang Ruzhi was sitting on the deputy station chief's chair, looking at the furnishings in front of him, feeling very happy in his heart.
"Xiao Li, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to sit in this position so quickly. Tell me, what position do you want? Give you an action captain?" Zhang Ruzhi is not the kind of person to burn bridges across rivers.
The first time I was promoted, I thought of promoting Li Jiu.
Speaking of the captain of the action team, he definitely has real power.
Who knew that Li Jiu was not interested at all.
"Stationmaster, I have no interest in this action captain. Why don't you arrange a casual position?" Li Jiu said.
"A sinecure? Then there is only the position of director of the archives office. It is a Qingshui Yamen, and there is no profit or success." Zhang Ruzhi hesitated and said.
"You and water? Stationmaster, are we still short of three melons and two dates?" Li Jiu chuckled.
"It makes sense, that's right, but if we want to expand our business, we have to have some real power in our hands. Otherwise, we will just be a decoration. After all, there is a webmaster above?" Zhang Ruzhi had a headache. said.
Hearing this, Li Jiu chuckled.
“Stationmaster, you are just overthinking. Apart from soldiers and weapons, money is the most important thing these days.”
“Those captains and so on, all of them look majestic, but in fact they are all bitter.”
“How can the paper bills that are so popular these days be used in the white ocean?”
“What we are most in need of right now is money, what about the webmaster?”
"Without money, can those captains and others listen to him?"
“As long as we can give them enough benefits, you, the deputy webmaster, can speak much more effectively than any webmaster.”
I have to say that Li Jiu’s words really touched Zhang Ruzhi’s heart.
Had it not been for money to pave the way this time, with such a big credit, it would not have been so fast to get promoted.
"Well, what you said is right, then the job of winning over those captains will be left to you. Our business cannot stop and must continue." Zhang Ruzhi agreed with his words and said immediately.
"Report, Deputy Station Master, I have a letter from you." At this time, the voice of a confidant sounded outside the door.
Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi frowned slightly, but still let people in.
When I saw that the envelope was signed "Sichuan Army Corps", my frown eased a lot.
“Across the river.”
With that said, Zhang Ruzhi opened the envelope, but after reading it, Zhang Ruzhi’s brows furrowed even deeper.
"The Sichuan Army Corps has posed a problem for me. I have just taken office, and they asked me to recruit so many officers for it."
“Especially when there is a colonel who is idle at home.”
Li Jiu took the telegram out of curiosity, but after reading it, she didn’t care much.
Instead, he was very concerned about the five thousand tons of rice.
“Webmaster, the profit from these five thousand tons of rice is quite a lot.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruzhi rolled his eyes. If it weren't for the five thousand tons of rice, he would have cursed.
With so many officers, it is not so easy to handle.
Even if he became the deputy director of Kunming Station, he would not be able to cover the sky with one hand.
"How confident are you that you can handle these people?" Zhang Ruzhi asked.
Li Jiu did not give an answer immediately, but pondered for a while.
“Webmaster, it’s impossible to accomplish this with just the two of us.”
“We can only get more people into the water.”
“It’s best if the entire Kunming station is on the same boat as us, so that it can be completed.”
“But it requires a lot of money.”
Inviting guests to dinner and giving gifts requires money.
"Okay, this task is entrusted to you. No matter how much it costs, it must be completed. The profit of five thousand tons of rice is enough for us to take risks." Zhang Ruzhi said with red eyes.
