Chapter 166: Allied Advisors
"Tuanza, here are the candidates for the reconnaissance team, you can see if there is anything that needs to be adjusted."
In the headquarters, Long Wenwen handed over the drawn up personnel list and plan to Liao Mingyu for review.
A total of 15 people went to the west bank this time, and veterans of the Sichuan Army such as Yaoma, Bula, and Dong Dao were impressively listed. There are also Milong, Sheep Egg and the newcomer Zhang Liu are also among them.
As soon as they heard that they were going to pick up Meng's annoying relatives, each of them asked to join the reconnaissance team without hesitation. Originally, Long Wen disagreed, but he couldn't stand the noise of these grandsons blocking the door every day.
The dragon's article was too big, but in the end he agreed. After all, these guys are veterans of the battlefield for a long time, and they can also make him more confident in the next operation.
The remaining few people are also experienced fighters, and they are equipped with the firepower of the strongest team, even if they encounter a little devil who is a patrol, they can retreat with their whole body, and it shouldn't be too much of a problem.
Liao Mingyu was looking at the schedule seriously and did not speak, and Long Wenwen explained to him:
"I re-planned for the new situation. Let's start from Luqiao Township, and after crossing the bridge, we rushed to Heshun Town along the path. The 15 people were divided into two teams, and after arriving in Heshun Township, they first rescued Meng's annoying parents, and then a team escorted them back to Luqiao Township. ”
The remaining group continued to stay near Heshun Town, reconnoitring the Japanese positions as appropriate. But the only thing to worry about is whether it will alarm the Japanese army, because there is also a search for Meng annoying parents... The probability of this happening is high. ”
Long Wenwen took a peek at Liao Mingyu after speaking, and to be honest, he didn't recommend this kind of behavior.
According to his idea, it is better for the reconnaissance team to be no more than five people, and it is only for the rescue operation that he has increased the number to 15 people, but this can easily lead to the failure of the entire reconnaissance operation.
It is very likely that the Japanese patrol will also find Meng Annoyed parents when they find them, although they are confident to bring Meng Father and them back, but don't think about the exploration of the Japanese position.
"Let the first battalion arrange two companies to be stationed in Luqiao Township to respond, so that in case of emergencies, they can provide timely support."
Liao Mingyu's fingers tapped lightly on the table, thinking about the details of this operation:
"The reconnaissance team will set off from Luqiao Township at 2 a.m. tomorrow and arrive near Heshun Township at about 5 a.m. Remember, this time the rescue is mainly supplemented by the investigation, if it really can't be done, give up the investigation operation, but be sure to bring the annoying mother back as much as possible! ”
"Understood!"
Long Wenwen nodded in response, it seemed that Tuanzuo was determined to save the old couple, and then he no longer hesitated, turned around and went out to arrange the next matters.
……
In addition to the Sichuan Army, which is intensively training, the Yu division next door has not been idle recently.
More than half a year has passed since the first invasion of Burma, and Yu Xiaoqing has finally waited for the coveted American-style support.
Some time ago, the Ranga training camp was established in India. The British provided the venue, the Americans paid for it, and the Chinese sent a steady stream of soldiers from the hump line to India.
At the request of Shangfeng, he sent a group of elites from the main regiment and the special service battalion there to receive training from the Yankees.
The British were anxious to reclaim their colonies in Southeast Asia, and the Yankees were concerned about the interests of the land. Therefore, the Allied commanders desperately hoped that the Chinese side could open the Yunnan-Burma road as soon as possible and counterattack Burma.
China lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of people, which is the opposite for the Allies, who have too much supplies but not enough soldiers to fight, or their soldiers in Southeast Asia are more delicate than a group of girls.
At the end of 42, all kinds of weapons and equipment were delivered to the front-line troops in western Yunnan, and high-ranking officers in China were also preparing for the upcoming major counteroffensive. But the bare-headed Supreme Commander was a little hesitant at the moment, and in the face of the urging of his allies, he made his own plans while making false promises with them.
Because his eyes were still on the rotten frontal battlefield in his own country, he really didn't have the energy to worry about the fires in other people's homes, even though the fires had already burned into his own backyard.
But aren't the Japanese also attacking now? Most of the high-ranking officials in the country have the idea that they can live one day at a time, anyway, they are not in a hurry when they are burning their eyebrows, and there are naturally people on the front line to stand up, so what is there to panic about.
Comfort, or for a comfort!
At this point, Yu Xiaoqing is still different from those wastes who don't want to make progress, he is bent on making immortal achievements, proving his ability, and at the same time wanting to kill these invaders, at least his heart is still hot.
In the last offensive and defensive battle on the Nujiang River, the weapons of the Sichuan Army opened his eyes, and those American weapons and equipment were really more than a star and a half. So he desperately wanted his troops to have that kind of weaponry.
For this reason, Yu Xiaoqing showed a little-known side. Shangfeng prevaricated him on the grounds of inconvenient transportation, so he built the road and opened the way himself. Shangfeng also said that there was a shortage of materials, and he begged for people and dredged up and down the relationship. Endless good words, endless energy, like a beggar alive.
It can be regarded as the emperor's wish, and in the end he got what he wanted. Now the soldiers who went to the Langa training camp have also returned one after another, along with a large number of American weapons and equipment and technical advisers from the Allied forces.
Garand, M1 carbines, Thomsons, flamethrowers, and the weapons that had been delivered were barely enough to equip one of his main regiments, and many of the guns were badly worn.
Because most of them are old weapons replaced by the US military in the Pacific theater, they may be transferred to the Chinese after simple maintenance and repair in the rear.
But this also made him very happy, and he still wondered how Liao Mingyu would feel when he saw this scene?
If Liao Mingyu really saw it, he would probably only say two words: garbage!
"Colonel Smith, this is the situation of my troops and the follow-up offensive plan, do you see anything that needs to be added?"
In the headquarters of the Yu Division, a large group of officers were discussing matters here, and among the many officers there were faces that were not foreigners.
Yu Xiaoqing was looking at this old foreigner from the other side of the ocean. This is a big Buddha, and he is careful not to slack off.
The translator standing aside hurriedly translated Yu Xiaoqing's words to Smith.
This white officer, who was about 50 years old and had gray hair, was a military adviser sent by the Allies and was also the person in charge of managing the logistics on the front line of the Nu River.
Smith didn't say anything more after listening to it, and said to Yu Xiaoqing with a flat look in his eyes: "I don't have anything to add, it's just that I have a question, how long will it take for you to attack the Japanese?" ”
"The specific time of the attack depends on the preparation of the troops, if your army can give more support, I think our offensive will be carried out faster."
Yu Xiaoqing showed his rare smile, after all, he still wanted to continue to get more military aid in the hands of this Yankee.
"I will try my best to talk to the higher-ups again, but I have no confidence in your combat effectiveness, can this team of less than 6,000 people really capture the fortress on the other side?" Smith said skeptically.
Except for their main regiment, which was still a little bit like that, the rest of the soldiers in this force made Smith very unfavorable.
The most important thing is that according to intelligence, the number of Japanese troops on the other side is not less than them, and Smith still remembers the combat effectiveness of those yellow-skinned dwarfs.
