To the east of Baoshan, near a small town in Dali, the headquarters of the 11th Army is located in the center of the town.

The barracks were impregnably fortified, with countless machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, soldiers patrolling back and forth, and two well-equipped infantry regiments guarding the town to the left and right.

Outside the town, a convoy slowly approached from a distance, and the guards stationed there immediately set up barricades to block the road, and the first second lieutenant stepped forward and raised his hand, and said in a loud voice:

"Excuse me, please show me your ID."

Dong Dao, who was in the car, immediately handed him the documents and telegrams.

After checking that everything was correct, the second lieutenant nodded and saluted again, "Thank you for your cooperation, you can go in, but the soldiers in the back must stay outside the town." ”

"What do you mean, these are all the guards of our regimental commander, don't you even let the town in?" Dong Dao was a little unhappy, didn't he enter the command headquarters and not let the guards follow?

"The military order is like this, the humble position is just to obey the order, and please don't embarrass the commander." The second lieutenant stood upright and preached without being arrogant or humble.

Dong Dao wanted to say something, but Liao Mingyu, who was sitting in the co-pilot, held him down: "Okay, let Zhang Liu wait outside with his brothers, let's go in first." ”

"Yes."

Seeing that they compromised, the second lieutenant told his men to remove the barricades and make way for them.

"Please follow me."

The second lieutenant also arranged a jeep to lead the way in front, Ding Xiaoer immediately stepped on the accelerator to follow, Liao Mingyu looked ahead with an expressionless face, and only brought a few people with Dong Dao around him, this is the headquarters, it is better to keep a low profile.

……

In a two-story attic, Song Xilian, whose cheeks were slightly chubby, was sitting at his desk looking at the front-line telegrams, and there were many busy high-ranking officers in the headquarters, seeing that the ranks on their collars were not low.

"Report to the commander, the commander of the Sichuan Army Liao has arrived."

"Oh? Let him in. ”

Following Commander Song's orders, the second lieutenant led Liao Mingyu into the room.

"Commander Song, Liao Mingyu of the Sichuan Army reports to you!"

Liao Mingyu tightened the military uniform on his body, saluted Song Xilian with a straight face, and at the same time looked curiously at the red man of the top ten generals of Huangpu and the highest commander.

"Hehe, it's really young and promising, and he has momentum!"

Looking at Liao Mingyu, who was tall and resolute, Commander Song nodded with satisfaction, this is what an officer of the Huaxia Young Zhuang faction should look like.

"Relax, don't be so restrained, come, sit down."

Liao Mingyu did not shirk and sat in front of Commander Song.

"Alas... I didn't expect it, you took Nantianmen in just two days, I knew that your Sichuan Army was so capable of fighting me, I should have let the 71st Army fully press the border as soon as possible, and it would not cause such a big loss, I'm really sorry. ”

Song Xilian said with some regret, and at the same time apologized for not providing them with too much support.

"Commander doesn't have to be like this, I'm just taking advantage of some opportunism. As the commander-in-chief of the group army, you must be given priority to the overall situation, and I am not to blame me for being a great gift, so why should I apologize? ”

Liao Mingyu is not stupid, whether he is sincere or false, he will lower his posture and praise it first, at this time, if he is not convinced, he still wants to be better later.

Sure enough, Song Xilian was still more useful after hearing these words, and now there are not many subordinates who can fight and speak.

"I've worked hard for you this time, I have a general understanding of the situation of the troops, and there is a reason for you to withdraw from Nantianmen." Commander Song said casually, took out a document from the drawer and handed it to him:

"The three supplementary regiments took a lot of effort to get them for you, and they are enough for your Sichuan Army to restore its establishment, so make good use of it."

"Thank you for the commander's love, Ming Yu will definitely live up to the trust." Liao Mingyu's eyes rolled and he hurriedly replied, feeling that this Commander Song seems to value himself more.

Song Xilian didn't reply immediately, and took him to a huge sand table, and there was a map of western Yunnan on the side of the sand table, Commander Song picked up the teaching stick and pointed to the location around the Nu River and said:

"Now the situation of the enemy and us is more complicated, although we have opened the corner of Nantianmen in the Nujiang River, there are still tens of thousands of Japanese entrenched on the left and right to the west, you should know this."

Liao Mingyu nodded and said that he understood, Longling County has the strength equivalent to a brigade, not to mention Tengchong in the northwest.

The Japanese laid out a large number of defensive lines and strongholds within their control, and the entire battlefield could not be solved by a single force.

"What do you think we're going to do next?" Song Xilian suddenly said to someone who was in a daze.

"Huh?" Liao Mingyu was stunned at first, what do you mean, do you need to ask me about this kind of thing?

"It's just a private discussion, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Commander Song preached indifferently.

Liao Mingyu thought about it and still expressed his opinion: "Take Longling as soon as possible before the Japanese army increases its troops, form an encirclement of Tengchong, and then attack on all fronts to eliminate the Japanese west of the Nu River in one go." ”

Historically, when the expeditionary force counterattacked the west bank, it chose to multi-way flowering, and with the superior strength of the two army groups, it attacked Longling, Songshan and Tengchong at the same time.

Although the momentum was huge, the battle also lasted for nearly three months, and the expeditionary force suffered more than 60,000 casualties before it won the victory and regained the lost territory.

The counterattack in western Yunnan, which originally began in June 44, was advanced by nearly a year under the influence of Liao Mingyu, and now it is an opportunity, although the Japanese army is still in a strong period, but also their control of western Yunnan has not reached 100%.

"At present, the Japanese garrison in Longling is not too much, and they do not have a strong fortress like Nantianmen, among which the 114th Wing is relatively strong in combat, and the other wing is not enough, this is our opportunity."

Liao Mingyu pointed to the sand table and said slowly, if he can give him one or two divisions, with the Sichuan Army as the main attack, he is very sure to take Longling.

This battle was fought with the same speed as Nantianmen, and all battles on the periphery had to be cleared before Japanese reinforcements arrived, and it also required the cooperation of a large number of friendly troops.

Alas...... It's just a pity that there is only a reinforced group of a few thousand people under his hands, and there are still cheating teammates like Zhong Bin by his side.

"Hmm... Your idea is radical, but there is some truth in it, and I will consider it seriously. ”

Hearing Commander Song's words, Liao Mingyu sighed again, sure enough, the high-level side did not have much desire to attack, and they still had a negative attitude towards the next battle.

However, he ignored most people's perception of the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army, and even in this year, he had to pay a 1:4 battle loss ratio with the Japanese army.

This is also the main reason why most of the high-level leaders are reluctant to fight at will, fighting means killing people, killing many people, and fighting with small Japan is to fill in with their lives, how can other troops have the ability of the Sichuan Army.

As if seeing Liao Mingyu's loss, Song Xilian shook his head and smiled indifferently, and said leisurely: "Do you know that the head of state doesn't want to fight this counteroffensive in western Yunnan now?" ”
