At this time, there were only three staff officers in the command headquarters doing their daily work, Song Xilian turned to the officers and said, "You guys put aside everything in their hands and go out first." ”

Several officers were puzzled but also interested and did not ask much, and just left the headquarters silently.

After sending them away, Song Xilian continued to say to Liao Mingyu: "The war in the Central Plains is unfavorable, and the focus of the head of state has always been on the domestic battlefield, but his attitude towards western Yunnan is very vague. ”

Liao Mingyu didn't talk, and stood up and waited for his next step.

"Because of their own interests, the British and Americans both want our Chinese to quickly send troops to counterattack Burma, but this war involves the whole body, and the Führer does not want to experience another bloody defeat."

Song Xilian shook his head and was full of emotion, thinking of the defeat of the expeditionary force in Burma for the first time, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Moreover, the Indian troops under Stilwell have been somewhat out of domestic control, and the Führer suspects that the Japanese army will make big moves in northern Hunan, so he is unwilling to launch a counteroffensive now."

In fact, the bald head himself is also very entangled, the reason why he is unwilling to fight this battle is very simple, the Japanese Burma Front has ten divisions and 300,000 horses, all of which have to rely on the Chinese Expeditionary Force to counterattack, but doing all this is to help the British recover the lost territory, no matter how you think about it, I feel that I am at a loss.

The most important thing is that it has been pit once by the British, and those cheap people who eat people and don't spit out bones are really disgusting.

However, the Americans have used American aid materials to tempt and coerce bald heads, and if the Yunnan-Burma Highway is not opened, a large number of US weapons will not be able to be transported in, and they can only be sent to them through the Hump route.

The most important thing is that the Japanese army is eyeing Hunan, and has already assembled heavy troops near Changde, and it is very likely to launch a larger campaign, which is one of the reasons why the bald head hesitates to counterattack western Yunnan.

"But the Commander... So much land in the west of the Nu River belongs to China, can we just watch and do nothing? ”

Liao Mingyu's heart was tight, he somewhat understood the meaning of the bald head, but what he wanted was to counterattack Burma and then enter the South Seas.

And only through war can we get more supplies, and the army will continue to grow, who the is happy to work for a bald head for a lifetime? How many more years can he bounce?

"Why don't I think so? But do you know how much of a ripple effect the last battle of Nantianmen caused? Thankfully, you won, otherwise do you think you would still be able to stand here and talk to me? ”

Liao Mingyu was silent, indeed... That's how it is. If you win, it's okay to say, if you lose, you will be dismissed and investigated, and a group of people will jump out and pull you off the stage, and there will be no one behind you to support you, and you won't want to get up again for the rest of your life.

"The situation at the front line is complicated, and I, as the commander-in-chief of the group army, have many times been unable to help myself, and this kind of thing as an all-out offensive is not something that I can say alone. But you're different......"

Song Xilian was a little lonely, as the commander-in-chief of the group army, he had more things to take into account, he was directly under the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs or the bald command.

Not only is he responsible for more than 100,000 soldiers, but if he doesn't pay attention to a paper order, he will be buried, so how can he do whatever he wants like Liao Mingyu, and someone will come out to wipe his ass after he finishes it.

"What did the commander say about this?" Liao Mingyu understood the previous sentence, but the last sentence was a little puzzled.

"Occasional local wars can still be fought, just like your Battle of Nantianmen, did you still greet me?"

Song Xilian glanced at him angrily, and said with something in his words: "But you have to withstand the pressure to fight this kind of battle, win and everything will be fine, and lose... As long as the establishment is still there, there is no big problem? ”

Liao Mingyu frowned, how could he not hear the meaning, Commander Song had already acquiesced in their unauthorized actions, and let the Sichuan Army play freely.

He won't care too much and won't give any support, as long as you have the ability, he will ask for credit if you win, and it doesn't matter if you lose, as long as the whole army is not annihilated, he can help resist.

"However, it is difficult for my regiment alone to play a big role, my Sichuan army has so many people, and if you fight a battle, you will have to break your muscles and bones."

Liao Mingyu pretended to be pitiful and sold miserably, and there was no chance if he didn't want any benefits.

Stinky boy, I knew that you would say this, Commander Song pursed his lips as if he had expected such an answer, only to see that he suddenly diverted the topic:

"By the way, the 66th Army was broken up in the first invasion of Burma, you should know about this, right?"

"Hmm...... I've heard of it. ”

A bull's answer to the horse's mouth made Liao Mingyu feel a little inexplicable, does this have anything to do with himself?

Regardless of Liao Mingyu's reaction, Song Xilian said to himself, and did not forget to glance at the former between his words: "Some time ago, the head of state specially ordered me to reinstate the establishment and continue to contain the increasingly severe situation in western Yunnan. ”

"Alas... It's just that the number of troops is not sufficient, and I intend to reorganize a division first to serve as the frame of the 66th Army, but the commander of this team must be capable, and he has to be with me. ”

If you don't understand this, you will really be a fool, Liao Mingyu suppressed the joy in his heart and immediately said sonorously: "I am willing to listen to the commander's dispatch and serve the party to the death!" ”

"Good!"

Hearing his statement, Song Xilian smiled with satisfaction, he admired Liao Mingyu's ability, and at the same time, he also saw the shadow of his youth in this officer.

"This division will take your Sichuan Army Corps as the backbone, and it will be reorganized on the basis of the remnants of the original 66th Army, and the early establishment of the unit will be relatively large, because it may be expanded into a corps-level unit later."

What does it mean to send charcoal in the snow? This is called sending charcoal in the snow! Liao Mingyu was extremely excited in his heart, and he was finally about to usher in a team of more than 10,000 people.

Commander Song's intention to win over is particularly obvious, in this deceitful army system, the former is also expanding the strength of his own faction all the time.

A capable and young officer like Liao Mingyu, Song Xilian is happy to push him to the top and train him as his descendant.

Although this is also full of the smell of trading, but who cares about this, Liao Mingyu doesn't care about pretending to be a grandson now, as long as he can grow quickly, his strength is stronger than anything else.

Subsequently, he and Commander Song discussed the arrangement of the troops, and according to Commander Song's intentions, the Sichuan Army and the provisional 46th Division of the 66th Army were reorganized, and the troops were first expanded to the main division of two brigades and six regiments, with a number of about 15,000 people.

The provisional 46th Division will arrive on the east bank of the Nu River at the end of the month, and after determining the general framework, Song Xilian asked Liao Mingyu to go back and sort out a compilation of materials and hand it over to the headquarters.

Commander Song gave him enough power, for which Liao Mingyu was very grateful, and once again said that he would keep this kindness in his heart and hurriedly retired.

……

The three supplementary regiments for the Sichuan Army were ready, and after coming out of the headquarters, Liao Mingyu specially went to the barracks to see their situation.

Fortunately, this group of supplementary regiments were not strong men or baby soldiers, most of them were defeated and retreated from the front line, and their original units were crippled and forced to cancel their establishment, so they had to be reduced to a supplementary source of troops for various units.

That's fine, these people are at least stronger than raw melons and eggs, and Liao Mingyu is confident that he will turn them into a strong army again in a short time.

"Dong Dao, you stay and arrange for them to return to Chanda, and the others will go with me first."

"Understood!"

Just as Liao Mingyu was about to leave, a communications soldier from the headquarters ran over with a telegram......
