8:12 a.m.

Liao Mingyu and his party from the guard battalion soon came to the headquarters of the Yu Division, and the strange thing was that there were many more jeeps at the gate of the headquarters.

Moreover, the surroundings were heavily guarded, and an elite soldier wearing the uniform of the Central Army was guarding the door, and a captain at the head looked at them vigilantly.

At the very least, this unit had a reinforced company, and a few trucks were parked next to the road, and there were actually two towing cannons behind them.

Liao Mingyu pouted, the battle was not small, it seems that there is probably a big person in it, and it is estimated that the teacher is here to ask for guilt.

As expected, the captain immediately greeted him, and gave a polite military salute: "Excuse me, sir, please report your identity." ”

"Sichuan Army, Liao Mingyu." Liao Mingyu returned the salute and said coldly.

It turned out that he was the commander of the Sichuan Army who didn't listen to the command, and he was really young, a thirty-year-old major general officer was not common in the entire army system.

"Sir Liao, please come in."

The captain was a little surprised by Liao Mingyu's age, but he still respectfully turned sideways and gave way.

Liao Mingyu nodded and strode in, the situation in the courtyard was the same as outside, the heavily armed soldiers took ten steps and one post, and the aura of slaughter arose. Yu Xiaoqing's guards stood far away like kittens, and those who didn't know thought that Master Yu had changed the court.

In the lobby, a middle-aged officer with a Chinese face was sitting in a high position, picking up a cup and sipping tea. On his collar badge is the rank of lieutenant general with two corners of gold face.

Yu Xiaoqing, who was full of sadness, stood next to him, and when he saw Liao Mingyu coming in, his eyes lit up, and he immediately stepped forward and introduced as if he was waiting for a life-saving straw: "Junza, this is the commander of the Sichuan Army." Commander Liao, this is Commander Zhong of the 71st Army. ”

"Commander Zhong." Liao Mingyu symbolically saluted, which was regarded as a greeting.

"Captain Liao is majestic."

Commander Zhong slowly put down the teacup, raised his eyelids and looked Liao Mingyu up and down.

This person is the same as the rumors, young, rebellious, and probably a reckless person who thinks that someone in the court has a heart higher than the sky.

"Don't dare to be." Liao Mingyu was neither humble nor arrogant, staring intently ahead, he had no good impression of this guy who urged them to stop attacking 800 times in the telegram.

"Hmph, the order I gave was to attack immediately, but you guys were fighting happily, the entire military deployment in western Yunnan was disrupted by you, Commander Liao... What else would you not dare? Zhong Bin snorted coldly, and his anger was particularly obvious.

"The order I received a few months ago was to wait for an opportunity to open up the Yunnan-Burma kilometer as soon as possible. Since the upper peak has asked me to wait for the opportunity to move, it is reasonable for me to attack the South Heavenly Gate now. Liao Mingyu replied.

"You take out the order from a few months ago and say it now? As the commander of the line from Henglan Mountain to Baoshan, am I not qualified to order your Sichuan Army? ”

Zhong Bin slapped the table heavily, and the attitude of this little head made him furious.

"I think Commander Zhong misunderstood, my unit, as an independent reinforced regiment of the military region, is under the direct command of the 11th Group Army Headquarters, but our department has not received orders from Commander Song, so please forgive me for not being able to obey orders."

Liao Mingyu was neither humble nor arrogant in his words, and there was no panic in his answer. Not to mention that Chief Song didn't order him to stop attacking, even if he gave the order, he wouldn't take it seriously, he should fight as he should!

Yu Xiaoqing secretly applauded, and today he felt how kind Liao Mingyu's annoying mouth was.

is a sharp-toothed boy, Zhong Bin didn't expect Liao Mingyu to be so eloquent, he actually played a word game with him, and asked: "I don't want to talk to you, let me ask you, what are you going to do next when the battle is like this?" ”

Liao Mingyu sneered and immediately replied, "What should I do?" How to fight, how to fight. ”

Yu Xiaoqing also persuaded beside him, "Junza, at present, we have achieved a great advantage, and we have destroyed more than 2,500 enemies in just one day, if we ......"

"Enough!" How do you know that Commander Zhong suddenly scolded: "Your business is not over, you dare to make noise here!" ”

Yu Xiaoqing closed his mouth angrily, Zhong Bin, as his top boss and his father's old friend, because he was already at a loss for disobedience on the battlefield, he didn't dare to refute it in the slightest.

"Liao Mingyu, I know that your troops can fight, but you have to understand that the Japanese reinforcements will arrive in Songshan as early as tomorrow, and the defenders on the Nantianmen are at least more than 3,000, do you have the ability to eliminate them in one day?"

Liao Mingyu's face was cold, and he had to say that Commander Zhong's words made some sense, and what he was most worried about was this matter.

Zhong Bin ignored his expression, tapped his fingers on the table and continued:

"Don't look at how big your advantage is, strategically speaking, the Japanese army has already moved towards this side from the two discoveries, if you still want to go your own way, then the soldiers on the west bank will have to be made dumplings!"

"Commander Zhong... What do you mean? Liao Mingyu asked rhetorically.

Zhong Bin smiled slightly, what he wanted was Liao Mingyu's reaction: "I know that you still have two troops hiding in the shadows on the west bank, I have to say that your plan is quite good, but... Judging from the current situation, you may not be able to hit the South Heavenly Gate. ”

Liao Mingyu didn't speak, quietly looking at Zhong Bin and waiting for his next words.

"In my opinion, the best solution is to postpone the offensive and wait for reinforcements from the rear." Zhong Bin said and picked up the teacup and took a sip, his eyes skimming to himself.

"Oh? I still have reinforcements. Liao Mingyu pretended to be curious, he probably guessed the intention of this Commander Zhong.

"Of course, the 87th Division of our army is the closest to Chanda, and if you march at full speed, the main force will be able to arrive tomorrow night. At that time, they will be the main attackers, after all, your frontal team has also suffered heavy losses, isn't it also a good thing for you? ”

Zhong Bin put down the teacup and turned his head to look at Yu Xiaoqing, and then said to him in a serious tone: "When the time comes, Yu Shi and the Sichuan Army will retreat, and your father and I will be friends for a long time, and it will be difficult to talk when we meet again after beating up his old troops." ”

"Commander Liao's two battalions on the west bank can just go to block the Japanese army that comes to aid the army, this is a matter of providence, the Japanese never imagined that there would be a team waiting for them on the west bank, and we will work together to not worry about the Nantian Gate not being broken."

Yu Xiaoqing's pupils shrank, this was said in a high-sounding manner, he just wanted a piece of the pie!

Liao Mingyu also sneered again and again, this Commander Zhong thought very beautifully, and he had done all the work he had done, as long as he jumped out at the critical moment to attack the Nantianmen, he would have written this great credit in his hands.

Zhong Bin was complacent in his heart, originally he came to Chanda to ask the teacher to ask for the guilt and then unload Yu Xiaoqing's military power by the way, but the current situation made him smell an opportunity, why not take advantage of this situation to make a military merit?

You must know that the credit for capturing Nantianmen and opening up the Yunnan-Burma Highway is not small, which is enough to bring his career to a higher level.

As a Whampoa officer in the same period as General Song, he was much worse than the former in terms of ability and deeds, which is one of the reasons why he has been acting as a deputy under him. Although they usually get along well, who doesn't want to go further?

"If you don't have any opinions, just make a decision, and I'll let you know right away......"

"Commander Zhong has not forgotten the school motto at the gate of Huangpu." Before Zhong Bin's words were finished, Liao Mingyu interrupted him in a deep voice.

"Liao Mingyu, what do you mean!"

Zhong Bin yelled with an unkind face, he did have some caution in his heart, but everyone understands people, don't you understand the rules of win-win cooperation in officialdom?

"What do you mean? You and I both know that the battle that can be resolved in one day has to be delayed until tomorrow night, if your troops can arrive at Chanda tonight, what does it matter if I, Liao Mingyu, give up the main attack position, but you are for the sake of the little ninety-nine in your heart to put those Chinese compatriots on the west bank to injustice! ”

Liao Mingyu shouted indignantly, he really can't bear these bureaucrats, they will do everything for the sake of the little military merit under his hands.

"Everyone understands that the longer this battle drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for our side, my group of brothers who are desperate on the west bank are waiting for me to lead people up to cut off the dog's head in Takeuchi Renshan, but you told me to wait for your troops to come up before launching a general attack, what do those soldiers who are still rolling in blood think!?"

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and when the main force of the 87th Division comes up, I don't know what the battle situation will turn into. The Japanese army is not stupid, will they wait for you to slowly draw out the knife and sharpen the rope before stretching out your neck to cut you?

If there is a problem in any link that leads to an unfavorable attack by the follow-up troops, the entire Nantianmen Battle will really fall short, all the blood will be shed in vain, and the gang on the top of the mountain will die without a place to bury.
