When my adjutant and I appeared at the military headquarters, the guards at the gate were almost arrested by the Japanese army, because we were all carrying guns, but we couldn't tell which country we were soldiers in military uniforms.

I said to the nervous guard: "I am An Sihu, the commander of the first battalion of the new 200th regiment, I have important things to do, and I want to meet Junzuo!" In addition, there is a wounded soldier five miles away, possibly with a broken bone, please send someone to rescue. ”

In the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Army, I am not as simple as an ordinary battalion commander, I am still the son-in-law of Linmeng Tan Bancheng, and I am still a guy who overthrew his boss and was regarded as a guy with a backbone in the back of his head.

My complicated reputation led me to be met by Jun Zuo in the midst of his busy schedule, and in a small conference room of the military headquarters, my adjutant and I stood in front of Jun Zuo like a pair of mud monkeys.

Jun Zuo looked at our image and frowned, and said, "I heard that you were shelled by the Japanese army? ”

I said, "Yes, Junza, if it weren't for the humble running fast, maybe I wouldn't be able to stand in front of you right now." ”

Jun Zuo snorted coldly and said, "You shouldn't have stood in front of me in the first place!" I have ordered your new 200 regiment to immediately prepare to cross the river for reinforcements, as the commander of the first battalion, you appeared here at this time, what is the matter? ”

I saluted again and said, "Junzuo, the reason why I rushed here desperately is because I received your order to cross the river for reinforcements, so I came here for this!" ”

Jun Zuo said, "Oh? Tell me your reasoning! ”

I said: "Junzuo, I was ordered to carry out a reconnaissance of crossing the river, and I also participated in the first river-crossing operation, so I can say that I am very familiar with the deployment of the Japanese army on the west bank. ”

Jun Zuo said, "So what? There are a lot of people who are familiar with the positions on the West Bank, and you are not the only one! ”

The commanders seemed to like to interrupt their subordinates to show his sacrosanct power, but they all knew very well that the subordinates would have their reasons.

I continued: "I believe that the Japanese defense on the west bank is so tight, and that our army has lost its geographical advantage, and now that it is the rainy season, the mountain roads are slippery and muddy than written in the military intelligence report. Jun Zuo looked at the embarrassment of the two of us, and knew how muddy the mountain road was. ”

Jun Zuo said: "I'm busy, you want me to listen to you, don't say anything that has nothing to do with the military situation!" ”

I said: "I dare not delay Junzuo's precious time, and what I said is related to the military situation. The slippery and muddy mountain roads aggravated the difficulty of our army's attack from the bottom up, and I had personally experienced that when charging, I often fell down, and I couldn't even hold my gun steadily when shooting at the enemy. It was because we lost the right time and place that we had the failure of the first attack on crossing the river, and the difficulties encountered in this attack! ”

This time Jun Zuo didn't interrupt me, he was pondering, which was a good sign, at least it showed that he no longer thought I was talking nonsense.

"Camp Commander An, sit down and talk. Come! Jun Zuo shouted outside the door.

A second lieutenant officer appeared at the door and said, "Junza, what do you command?" ”

Jun Zuo said: "Go to the munitions warehouse and get them two sets of clean military uniforms, a battalion commander, dirty like this, it is really a loss of military appearance!" ”

"Yes!" The second lieutenant turned to leave.

I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Junza, please wait a while." Clothes are not the most important thing, if the clothes are dirty, you can change into new clothes, if your life is gone, you can't change it back. ”

It's already a little rude for me to speak like this, and with a mere major speaking like this to a general, I'm really ready to be scolded.

Jun Zuo's self-cultivation is obviously much better than Huang Wenlie, although his face is a little unsightly, but he is not angry, he said: "Don't beat around the bush, have something to say!" ”

I stepped forward and said, "Junza, I didn't ask you for clothes this time, I asked you for weapons!" ”

Jun Zuo said: "You want a weapon? I have distributed all the weapons sent by the Americans to various units, and what weapons are they asking me for? ”

I said, "Junza, do you want to continue what you just said...... Our army has lost the right time and place, and although it has the advantage in strength, if it still relies on traditional means of attack, I am afraid that it will fall into the protracted and bitter battle that the Japanese army loves, and in this way, it will inevitably cause huge casualties to our army. ”

Jun Zuo's fingers tapped on the table, pondered for a long time, and said: "Battalion Commander An, you said a bunch of disadvantages of our army, do you want us to temporarily stop the attack and wait for the weather to improve before attacking?" ”

I cautiously said, "If that's the case, of course it's the best." ”

Jun Zuo slapped the table and said, "Impossible! The military department has been planning the offensive plan for more than half a year, how can it be easy to change it because of a little rain! ”

I hurriedly said, "Of course, if we can't change the battle plan, there are ways to improve our attack. ”

Jun Zuo was very interested in this sentence and said, "Let's hear it." ”

I said: "Our regiment had already suffered a lot in the last attack, and we knew that this conventional offensive method was not the key to victory, and that it would only allow us to sacrifice more of our brothers' lives. ”

Jun Zuo said: "I have heard too many such words, how can there be immortals in war?" You can win a war without dying, I have led troops for more than 20 years, and I have not heard of it. ”

I said, "Fighting a war is naturally about bloodshed, but we can reduce unnecessary sacrifices. As I said just now, our army does not occupy the right time and place, but our army also has an advantage that the Japanese army cannot match! That's the weapon! ”

Jun Zuo stood up, walked around the ground twice, and said: "Of course, weapons are the advantages of our army, whether it is the weapons allocated by the government or the weapons provided by the Americans, I have already ordered them to be provided to the front-line combat troops, and I will send you all the tanks, what other weapons do you need?" ”

I said: "Junzuo, Qingyundu was blown up, although the tank is good, it is impossible to swim through the Nu River, it can only be used as a gun rack." The weapons of the lowly are flamethrowers, bazooka, and these melee assault weapons! ”

Jun Zuo hesitated for a moment and said, "I will also send these weapons ......"

For the first time, I interrupted Junza's speech and said, "Weapons are distributed to officers who don't pay attention, and they just lock the good stuff in the warehouse. ”

Jun Zuo looked at me and said, "If I send you these weapons, will you be able to take Moyunling?" ”

I know that if I hesitate a little at this time, the previous words will be in vain. I said loudly: "Report Junzuo, as long as you send a weapon like the lowly position, the lowly duty swears to take Moyunling!" ”

Jun sat back in his chair, tapped his fingers on the table again, looked at me covered in mud, and said, "Anyone can say big things, and I promise to be the least valuable thing now, but ......"

The window of the conference room was open, and there was a faint sound of gunfire outside the window, and I was waiting for Junzuo's next step in this gunfire.
