071 Cowboy Leader

A large number of troops began to assemble in Tonggu, and a general battle with the Japanese army in Burma began.

At the same time, the 3rd Regiment of the 2nd Division of the 1st Army of the Expeditionary Force received an operational order to rush to Ringanqiang to relieve the besieged British troops and British people there.

The troops immediately began to move, and the troops of the three regiments were ready to start marching towards Ringanqiang.

Before leaving, Mu Dan, a translator and confidential staff officer sent from the headquarters, finally found Liu Fangwu, the commander of the third regiment, after several rounds.

At this time, the troops were ready to set off, and Liu Fangwu leaned on the jeep and deployed various orders with his subordinates.

Mu Dan stepped forward and leaned on his heels and said, "Report, confidential staff officer Zha Liangzheng is here to report!" ”

Liu Fangwu, who was talking, stopped speaking, and after glancing Mu Dan up and down with his eyes, he said to him nonchalantly, "You wait here first", and then continued to lecture and deploy to his subordinates, completely ignoring the people sent by this headquarters as nothing.

Mu Dan felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked the regiment commander in front of him up and down, he was different from other officers, he was a little unruly, but he also had a reckless and free atmosphere.

Take, for example, his attire was not as well-dressed as other officers, and his attire was simply a model of extreme casualness: he was dressed in a khaki military uniform with a colonel's badge, a nylon armed belt that was not wide at his waist, and a large-eyed puff and bullet box hung on it, and the trousers on his feet were tied into light leather boots, which also made him deliberately puncture some small holes, presumably for ventilation; On his head was a grass-green military hat with a large brim and round brim.

This kind of military hat was developed and equipped by Huang Kete for the First Army of the Expeditionary Force, and the main feature is that the surrounding round edges are soft, which can be put down to cover the ears, and can block the rain in the rainforest and even avoid flying insects from falling into the collar, and when not needed, you can also use the hat rope to roll up the round edges on both sides.

This jungle penny, which appeared only later, was widely equipped in the First Army of the Expeditionary Force. Compared with those thick and bulky steel helmets and ordinary military hats, grassroots officers and soldiers can't put down this kind of hat.

Liu Fangwu, who was a pioneer in the field, also seemed to be a big fan of this hat, and he rolled up the brim of his jungle hat, put it on his head and waved his horsewhip to lecture his subordinates, which reminded Mudan of Hemingway's old cowboy in the American West.

After about ten minutes of talking, Liu Fangwu motioned for everyone to disperse. He walked over and looked Mu Dan up and down before saying, "The previous order from the headquarters has been received, and your task is to make an English translation. So, you come with my car, let's go together. ”

"Yes!" Mu Dan leaned on his heels again. Unexpectedly, before he saluted, he was stopped by Liu Fangwu, "There is no need for so much red tape on the battlefield, it is very dangerous to salute indiscriminately, change this habit." Everyone is a robe brother, and you don't have to be like you are in an institution. ”

After speaking, Mu Dan wanted to stand up and salute again, but in the end he still held back.

"You can't do it." After Commander Liu finished speaking, he shouted at his guard, and the guard ran over with a thin man who was not tall.

"Sanxi, find a jungle hat for this chief, this steel helmet is worn for fear that he will realize the prickly heat. Also, get him another kettle and fill it with water for him to bring with him. After Captain Liu finished speaking, he sat in the driver's seat of the jeep, and then he patted the co-pilot's position casually and said, "You sit here, Sanxi sits behind." ”

After a while, the guard named Sanxi brought a certain jungle hat and a full water bottle and handed it over. Mu Dan thanked him, and Sanxi's eyes narrowed into a line.

Commander Liu Fangwu drove the car himself, Mu Dan sat in the co-pilot's seat, Sanxi sat in the back with a * in his arms, and some drinking water and other items were placed on the back seat, and a small jeep was stuffed to the brim. Fortunately, the jeep is open-topped, and there is just a canvas shed hanging on it to protect it from the rain and sun. Mu Dan looked at the canvas with many holes, and thought that if it rained heavily, I am afraid that these things would not be of any use.

Just as he was about to leave, an officer with a second lieutenant badge ran over and said, "Regiment commander, Deputy Regiment Commander Lin suddenly fell ill, I'm afraid I can't go with the brigade." ”

After hearing this, Liu Fangwu asked, "What kind of bullshit disease did he suddenly have?" ”

"The medic said that he vomited and diarrhea, probably because he had eaten something bad." The lieutenant scratched the back of his head and replied.

"What the hell!" After scolding, Regiment Leader Liu said: "Why is he always sick at a critical time." Find a car to pull him, and even if he dies, he will die on the battlefield. ”

"Yes." When the second lieutenant was about to turn around and go back, Liu Fangwu thought about it again and said, "Forget it, let him stay here, and then follow when he is cured." lest they stir up trouble with the great army. Are the troops ready? When you're ready, you're ready to go. ”

As he spoke, Regiment Commander Liu started the car, stepped on the accelerator and got off the jeep and ran out. Shem's Mudan stumbled backwards, and he quickly grabbed the handrail.

Mu Dan looked at Liu Fangwu, and then looked at Sanxi suspiciously, and suddenly felt that this regiment leader was a little ruthless. Sanxi seemed to see Mu Dan's doubts, so he leaned over and said, "Staff Officer Cha, you don't know, our deputy head Lin is simply ......"

"Three joys!" Before Sanxi opened his mouth, Head Liu called him coldly, and he had to stop what he was about to say, but he also whispered to Mu Dan: "I'll tell you later." ”

The 3rd Regiment marched towards Ringanqiang, and according to the predetermined plan, they were to start from the northeast line, breaking through the multiple Japanese lines on the way. Fortunately, the degree of mechanization of the troops was very high, the armored vehicles were dragging 105 mm guns, and the ten-wheeled kari were sitting with heavily armed officers and soldiers, and the convoy formed a long line and began to drive towards Ringanqiang.

After the troops were almost gone, Lin Zhangyan, the regiment deputy who was lying on the hospital bed just now holding his stomach and crying, sat up excitedly, and when the nurse walked in with a medicine tray, he waved his hand to signal people to go out.

Lin Zhangyan's guard Zhang Bo was also surprised when he came over, but when he thought of the style of the chief he was talking to, he almost understood.

"Sir, you have some Coke, you have an empty stomach just now." Zhang Bo, this kid's brain, has always been appreciated by Lin Zhangyan, so after seeing it, he secretly took a glass of Coke and came in.

These colas belong to the carbonated drinks supplied by the regiment headquarters, aided by the Americans, and it feels very comfortable to drink in the summer.

Lin Zhangyan took the glass of Coke, took a few sips and said, "Keep the door watched, don't let those nurses and doctors come in again." ”

"Then you can rest assured, I've done it." Zhang Bo said with a grin.

Lin Zhangyan lay on the hospital bed with peace of mind, and then he stretched out two fingers, and Zhang Bo cooperated very well to take out a pack of American-aided camel cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to him, and then lit it.

Lin Zhangyan took a puff and spit out a long smoke ring, the smoke ring rose up, and the smoke was blown away when it was almost to the electric fan above.

"Sir, this is an opportunity to make a contribution, and my subordinates don't understand, why are you?" Zhang Bo didn't know if he was deliberately pretending to be stupid, or if he really didn't know the inside story.

"You know what?" Lin Zhangyan looked at the electric fan and said, "The ghost place is stuffy and hot, and Liu Fangwu still likes to be on the front line." Damn, Lao Tzu's family sent me here to make contributions to this place, and I was promoted when I went back, not to go here with him and send me to death. ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Bo nodded, smiling flatteringly. He was born in a small official family, and he didn't learn anything else, but his kung fu was still inherited.

"Xiao Zhang, you really only know one thing but you don't know the other. This trip is to make meritorious contributions, and it is clear that his mother is sent to death. If you don't follow me, this trip will not let the Japanese die, and let the sun roast along the way, where can you sit here and drink Coke with me and blow the fan? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Zhang Bo flattered vigorously.

Lin Zhangyan lay back, his body completely sunk into the pillow, he flicked the cigarette ash and said casually: "Xiao Zhang, do you know? In order to take the oil fields of Ringanqiang, the Japanese mobilized nearly a division of troops. Nearly 10,000 troops of the 214th and 215th wings were deployed in Ringanqiang near the defense line of the expeditionary force. You have also seen this unit of Little Japan fight, and it is not ordinary ruthlessness. The British armored brigade of more than 7,000 people is besieged inside, and you expect these thousands of soldiers in Liu Fangwu's hands to defeat them? Joke! ”

"I see, let alone defeat this group of Japanese devils and rescue the British, whether they can come back alive or not is a matter of whether they can come back alive. Do you think I really don't know how to fight? Lin Zhangyan snorted coldly, "My old man also commanded many troops before, and the Great Revolution will follow Mr. Zhongshan to fight the world." I've been in contact with more than that stupid roe deer of Liu Fangwu since I was a child. Let me tell you, the Japanese army has deployed an anti-encirclement formation this time, which can change at any time, and once the time comes, they can immediately start an encirclement, and you can eat as many reinforcements as you have. ”

Lin Zhangyan was talking about his analysis and conception there, and laughed at the heat outside and the stupidity of Liu Fangwu and others, and couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority in IQ and EQ in his heart, and his heart was happy.

Seeing this, Zhang Bo also followed the whiskers and patted the horse, praising Lin Zhangyan, who didn't understand bullshit, for his proper tactical thinking. The two of them hid in this cool ward, laughing at the officers and soldiers who were trekking through mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but feel happy.

"Xiao Zhang, you will follow me when you turn around, and when you go back, you will be promoted and make a fortune together!" Lin Zhangyan patted Zhang Bo on the shoulder and said happily.

Zhang Bowei was submissive, with a smirk.
