"Let me introduce you to Arthur, the Allied military adviser. McLuhan, the young man's name is Alger. Collins was an armourer. ”

"I consider that only your Sichuan Army has not arranged the guidance of the allied troops in the front line of the Nujiang River, so I also brought him and them here this time."

Smith introduced the two of his peers to Liao Mingyu, one of his old faces was smiling thinly, and the folds on his face were almost wrinkled together, as if to say: Look, I'm kind to you, I want you for everything.

No wonder it looked familiar, it turned out to be the two of them. Liao Mingyu suddenly realized, and at the same time politely greeted the two: "Two friends, hello, welcome to the Sichuan Army." ”

Arthur, a middle-aged officer with a beard and a high hairline. McLuhan just nodded faintly in response. The young armorer on the side shook hands with Liao Mingyu very enthusiastically.

However, he didn't know about the situation of these two people, which was a bit ridiculous, and they were two strange flowers among the many military advisers who came to China to support.

Arthur. McLuhan, a status quo maintainer, is also a straightforward man. He doesn't like the deceit and stinky feet of officialdom, and he won't bend his mind to meet his superiors and colleagues, and he is an old-fashioned and strict American soldier who has not been reused because of his personality.

And the young armorer, who was later jokingly called "all-people assistance" by the cannon fodder of the Sichuan Army. Collins, on the other hand, is a natural nerd who is reluctant to go into battle and kill. I just hold on to this war, and my attitude is not correct all day long.

Smith wanted to give Liao Mingyu a favor that didn't require much investment, and the unsociable Lao Mai and the terrible armorer Collins were the best choices.

They were originally one of the military advisers of the Yu Division, but now there is no shortage of Americans on the Yu Division's side, and Yu Xiaoqing is happy to send them out for these two monsters in the eyes of his colleagues.

For this, Liao Mingyu gladly accepted it, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat. Besides, these two are a bit out of place with their companions, but they are both people with real talents.

Needless to say, Collins was an armourer who was very familiar with American armaments, although he had a free-spirited personality and had never been on the battlefield.

But with the two of them coming to the Sichuan Army for guidance, at least they can improve their use and cognition of firearms by these illiterate people.

"Hehe, then it's confirmed, Mike and Collins will come over today, and Liao will arrange it later."

Colonel Smith, who had thrown off his two burdens, was very happy, and then moved on to another matter:

"As far as I know, that Commander Yu has won everything he wants, your boss has sent him two regiments of troops, and now the number of combatable soldiers in the entire Yu Division has exceeded 10,000."

Liao Mingyu raised his eyebrows, this information somewhat surprised him, it seems that Yu Xiaoqing has worked hard for this battle.

Smith continued: "Colonel Hertling, of our Allied Support Forces, agrees with his offensive views, and now they are making the final strategic arrangements and will launch a counteroffensive shortly. ”

"That's a good thing, you should be happy for him, isn't that what you've always wanted?" Liao Mingyu said with a smile, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Smith looked at him deeply, frowned and said worriedly: "Theoretically, this is a good thing, but I don't think that Commander Yu's attack plan will succeed, he underestimated the horror of the Japanese too much." ”

"His eyes were full of war madness and conceit, and although everyone agreed with his plan at the battle meeting, I didn't think that this war could be won by determination alone."

Smith was a very shrewd man, he had seen many officers like Yu Xiaoqing, confident and impulsive, thinking that he could defeat the enemy by seizing the advantage, but blindly attacking would only plunge his troops into the abyss.

"There is not much novelty in Commander Yu's plan, it is nothing more than relying on firepower and strength superiority, coupled with air support to launch an overwhelming attack on the enemy." Colonel Smith said slowly.

Liao Mingyu thought for a while: "It's very similar to your Americans' style of play, relying on heavy firepower to open the way and then launching an attack, and calling for air support at any time during the breakthrough process." ”

"Yes, but we have confirmed one thing on the islands in the Pacific Ocean, relying on this offensive means cannot completely destroy the Japanese defenses, and our lads still suffered heavy casualties."

"This Nantianmen is not much worse than the fortresses on those small islands, and it is even stronger in some ways, and the heavy firepower that Master Yu is proud of seems to me to be just a child's play, they don't even have guns above 150 mm."

Smith showed a deep disdain when he said this, what about more than 10,000 people? What about the preparation of the equipment? These things couldn't be more common in his eyes.

He knows the Japanese too well, and although he doesn't know the specific situation of Nantianmen, it is definitely not as simple as it seems.

You must know that the fourth-class people in the Pacific Ocean also have large-caliber naval guns, and the planes can support them anytime and anywhere throughout the day, isn't it still extremely difficult to fight?

According to Yu Xiaoqing's way of playing, it is estimated that 10,000 people will have to be thrown inside, and as a logistics liaison officer, he doesn't want to leave, he has to continue to consume in this ghost place.

But now there are many people who are willing to believe Yu Xiaoqing, thinking that his offensive deployment is foolproof, and with such a careful plan and firepower, he will definitely achieve the final victory, but they just have too little and too little understanding of the Japanese and too one-sided.

In order for himself to retire as soon as possible and enjoy his old age, and for the sake of not being wasted in vain, Smith began to look for other chips.

"Captain Liao, I think you must have some special way to conquer the South Heavenly Gate, right?" Smith looked at him expectantly, this was another purpose of the Legion today.

Smith never saw through this young officer with a confident smile on his lips, but he didn't know why, he believed that Liao Mingyu definitely had a way to fight this battle.

"Mr. Smith, you're laughing, I don't have any special way but to do my best and obey the fate of God. However, I will inform my allies of my plans before attacking, after all, I need your air support as well. ”

Liao Mingyu would definitely not tell him the truth, and his ambiguous answer made Smith scratch his head, but he was even more curious.

He didn't give up and tried a few words again, but Liao Mingyu didn't let go, just chatted with him about the offensive dynamics and key issues of this battle, and didn't say a word about his preparation plan.

This result made Smith a little depressed, but just in the casual chat, Liao Mingyu's clear strategic thinking and overall view really impressed him.

This is much more clear than that hot-headed Master Yu, although he didn't get the answer he wanted, but at least he had a little bottom in his heart.

"Since that's the case, I won't say more, if you have any other needs in terms of equipment, you can mention it to me again, I will try my best to arrange it, I just hope that Commander Liao will not live up to my intentions." Smith preached from the bottom of his heart.

"Hehe, I don't need you to say that I will, after all, that land is our country!" Liao Mingyu said categorically.

Smith, who had just gotten up and was about to leave, patted his forehead in annoyance, and said to Liao Mingyu embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, I almost forgot the most important thing, in three days we will have a pre-battle deployment meeting at the Yu Division Headquarters, and the commanders of several sides will participate, and I hope you will also attend this meeting."

Is there going to be a combat meeting so soon, Yu Xiaoqing is getting more and more anxious, but Yu Dashao doesn't seem to invite himself, probably because he is afraid of demolishing his platform.

Liao Mingyu pondered for a moment and immediately agreed: "Well, I will go." ”

After Smith left with the adjutant, Mike, who had been standing by for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth, and said in Chinese: "Don't trust this old scoundrel too much." ”

"Oh? What are you talking about? Liao Mingyu asked unexpectedly.

Of course, he knew Smith's careful thoughts, and he didn't look at this old guy who looked like he cared about their success or failure and casualties, he actually cared about whether he could complete the task.

Unexpectedly, this Master Mai is really frank, and he can scold his top boss in front of outsiders when they meet for the first time.

"I just don't want you to be shot by that old bastard, because what you need is unity." Mike said coldly, he was referring to the relationship with Yu Xiaoqing, this businessman-like Smith made him very unaccustomed to it.

Liao Mingyu nodded noncommittally, as a gunman? It's not certain who the gun is.
