Gala Dinner(2)

"What do you have to do with me?" Bangs looked at Weidmann a little strangely. "That's the case, Division Commander Liu, you know, we have opened up the international transportation line, but there are still more than 10,000 remnants of the Japanese army in northern Myanmar who are gathering in Longling, where is the Japanese army that has built fortifications for several years, it is very difficult to fight, at least we need enough artillery support!" Weidmann said. "Oh, don't worry, my cannon will give you enough support!" Bangs said with a smile. "But the problem is that your chairman does not agree that you are going to war, but wants you to rest and expand, and we need your help, so I want to ask you to ask your chairman to join the war!" Weidmann said. "I'm just a general, and I don't have the right to change the leader's will, but your government can make demands!" Bangs said. "Now that we are fighting a world war, a big country like China and the United States will not use an alliance because of an artillery division, and those bureaucrats think that the Japanese army in Longling is just a remnant, and a random company can hang more than 10,000 Japanese troops, but this is not the case!" Weidmann said, "I just don't want to kill any more soldiers!" "I see, General. I will ask the chairman, but I can't guarantee it! Bangs said.

Liu Hai thought about it for a while, the chairman must not want his elite artillery to suffer losses when it is not necessary, after all, Longling is just sweeping the final battle, there is no need to let his artillery take risks, for his own artillery, any shell is worth more than a soldier! And the Japanese fortifications, in the storming of Songshan and Gaoligong Mountain, both Liu Hai and every soldier of the expeditionary force have a deep understanding that if there is no artillery of their own, then many more people will die, even if another artillery comes over, the lack of combat experience on the ground will be very limited! Liu Hai was very disdainful of the chairman's idea, but he was just a lieutenant general, a lieutenant general who had just been promoted, and it was not so easy to change the chairman's decision. Bangs while thinking and greeting the people around you! "Mr. Lieutenant General, I didn't expect you to have such a beautiful girlfriend, and there are two more, it's so surprising!" The female reporter from the U.S. military came up again. "Hehe, it's complicated!" Bangs said. "Don't you want to have a drink with me? You Chinese men can marry as many wives as you want, and I don't mind being your little wife! Major Shwerin said. There is no need for a major, and I am very willing to let the whole world know our combat experience and the heroic deeds of the Chinese people against the enemy that no matter what the situation, our nation will not give in, even if there is only one person left! Bangs said, "So you're willing to help me with the task?" Silin said. Very willing to help you, beautiful major! Liu Hai said, but at this time, Liu Hai suddenly thought of a way, "But you also need to do me a small favor!" ”

At this time, Chiang Kai-shek was drinking and talking with Chinese and American generals with red faces. "I'm sorry, Mr. Chairman, but I'm a reporter from the U.S. Military Journal, and I very much hope to take this opportunity to have an exclusive interview with you!" Silin said to Chiang Kai-shek a little ambiguously. "Of course!" Chiang Kai-shek was in high spirits, and he was naturally very happy to see such a beautiful US military reporter interviewing him. "Mr. Chairman, your army fought very hard in Burma and won in the end, do you think it is the generals or the soldiers who take the most credit? Or are you? Silin asked. Of course, it is our national army soldiers, my credit is insignificant, they are the real heroes! "Chiang Kai-shek knew these Western journalists very well and was concerned about the value of each individual." So you must wish your soldiers would die less? Silin asked. Yes, of course I would like my soldiers to die less, they all have parents and families, and I want to end this war one day sooner so that they can go home and be reunited with their parents and families! Chiang Kai-shek said with a smile. However, Your Excellency the Chairman of the Committee, but I heard that you refused to allow you to have elite artillery to participate in the Battle of Longling, you must know that the strong fortifications of the Japanese army are difficult to overcome without artillery, so whether it is our American army or your troops, the casualties will be very large, is there such a thing? Silin asked suddenly.

After Chiang Kai-shek listened, his face changed slightly, but he quickly smiled, "Miss Silin, this matter is related to military secrets, I can't say more, how do you know?" "This, I think I can know, because in addition to being a military newspaper reporter, I am also a communications company commander of the U.S. Army's Northern Burma Command, and my specialty is short-wave communications!" Wisdom Lin said immediately. "That's the case, Miss Silin is really versatile, amazing, which military school did you graduate from, short-wave communication is one of the most advanced communication methods!" Chiang Kai-shek cleverly wanted to change the subject. "My affairs don't matter, after all, I'm just a major, and your artillery is related to the lives of thousands of soldiers, I wonder if you plan to let them participate in the Battle of Longling?" Silin is not naïve and not fooled! "I have to study this issue carefully, and I can't say anything for the time being, as you said, it is related to the lives of thousands of soldiers!" Chiang Kai-shek is already a little impatient! "As far as I know, the Japanese fortifications in Longling are very strong, and without the support of artillery, it will cause great casualties, I don't think there is anything to study about such a thing, you are the leader, I don't think you will participate in specific operations, all you have to do is give orders!" Silin said. "That's true, Mr. Chairman, you don't need to think about it, if it gets out, it will make people mistakenly think that you have reckless human life! This will affect the morale of our American troops, especially the morale of the American soldiers on the transportation lines, and I think they are not willing to fight for a commander who does not take their lives seriously! "Weidmann wasted no time in coming over and getting a hand!

"Hehe, General Weidman is exaggerating, I said that every soldier has his family, but the Fourth Independent Division has been fighting hard for a long time, and it continues to replenish and recuperate, he is our only elite artillery division!" At this time, Chiang Kai-shek finally understood Weideman and Silin's intentions, they were to force themselves to send the Fourth Independent Division to participate in the Battle of Longling! In fact, Chiang Kai-shek did not let Liu Hai participate in this campaign because the international transportation line had been opened, and Longling was of little significance, but the US army wanted to completely eliminate the Japanese army in northern Burma, because although Longling was dangerous to the transportation line, but for these remnants of the Japanese army, the port controlled by the US army was what they were most interested in, because with the port, they could withdraw from northern Burma! In other words, Chiang Kai-shek was unwilling to let his artillery take any more risks for the benefit of the American army! "The battle of Longling will not let them have losses, we have enough troops, we only need your artillery to destroy those fortresses, with those elite artillery, our soldiers can die a lot less, isn't this what you want?" Weidmann said. "Of course that's the case, but the Fourth Independent Division is indeed exhausted, and whether it can continue to fight is still between the two!" After Chiang Kai-shek finished speaking, he shouted to the bangs on the side, "Commander Liu, come here!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Hai seemed very excited because he had drunk a few glasses of wine at this time, and he didn't come over immediately. "Commander Liu, your troops have been fighting for a long time and urgently need to be reorganized and rested, if you let your troops continue to fight now, is it a little powerless?" Chiang Kai-shek almost clearly told Liu Hai what he meant. "Our unit has been fighting for a long time, and now it really needs to rest and replenish, but this is only my two infantry regiments directly under me, and the combat strength of my artillery regiment is still there, without the slightest loss, as long as the chairman needs it, my fourth division will be invincible, invincible, and will never let the chairman down!" Bangs stood up straight and replied with a radiant look. Chiang Kai-shek looked at the bangs with a flushed face, and felt angry in his heart, these bangs must have been drunk and excited, and he did not carefully comprehend his words. "Chairman, we only need artillery, you can leave the infantry regiment of the fourth division for repair, integration and replenishment, I promise that you will not lose a single artillery!" Weidmann said.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Chairman, you will definitely send your artillery to protect those soldiers from fearless sacrifices, is that right?" Si Lin came over and said. "This, of course, but the arrangement of the operation still needs to be decided by a combat meeting, and we are also very democratic!" Chiang Kai-shek resorted to a delaying tactic! "The operational meeting is convened by me, because I am the commander-in-chief of this campaign, and I must ask you, we need the artillery of Division Commander Liu!" Weidmann said. "Since that's the case, Commander Liu, are you sure that your artillery can participate in the battle?" Chiang Kai-shek asked Liu Hai again. "I will never let down the great trust of Chairman Chiang, and I will personally lead the artillery regiment to participate in the war to defend the country and the leader!" Liu Hai said energetically. "Generals! Thank you Chairman Chiang for sending his elite artillery to wipe out the last Japanese troops in Burma, let us raise a glass together, Your Excellency the Chairman of the Committee! Silin raised his glass! Thank you! "The American generals shouted in broken Chinese." Hehe, let's the bravest soldiers of China and the United States, drive the Japanese out of Burma completely, and let's toast to victory! Chiang Kai-shek was suddenly put on a high place, and he had to say. Bangs glanced at Si Lin and smiled happily! The reason why Liu Hai laughed was because he remembered General Dai Anlan who died tragically in the jungle and countless soldiers of the expeditionary force, and only by destroying this last Burmese Japanese army could he be regarded as avenging them!
