Chapter 326: The Foundation of Foothold

Hearing the greeting, the young man named Chen Tang strode over.

I saw that he was a little thin at one meter and seven, but he was very energetic, his deep eyes were cold, and the hideous scars were even more fierce.

"Boy, I've been a soldier for a few years, how many little devils have you killed?"

Monk Zhou looked up and down, and nodded with satisfaction, he was also a veteran in the army, and he could feel that Chen Tang's temperament was by no means something that a raw melon egg who had never seen blood could have.

"It's been 8 years, and when we were in Nanjing, we killed 33 tank crews, and we also killed a devil's bean chariot, but it's a pity... The infantry ......"

Chen Tang seemed to fall into deep thought when he spoke, and in the last battle, the convoy was forced to follow the large army to withdraw from the Zhonghua Gate, but encountered the Japanese army on a street.

Although he and his comrades drove the British Vickers tank to resist desperately, the enemy had the advantage in numbers, and the accompanying infantry company did not know how to coordinate with the infantry at all, resulting in the tank flank being completely exposed to enemy fire, and finally ignited by the incendiary bombs of the little devils, and the two comrades-in-arms were instantly killed in the flames, and they were also burned extensively.

After the injury was healed, Chen Tang was transferred to the rear, and his uncle Feng San happened to be serving in Zhao Gongming's transport regiment, so he simply took him with him as a military truck driver.

Suffering a double blow to his body and mind, Chen Tang suffered from severe post-war stress syndrome, and he can never forget the pain, the scene 6 years ago is like a lingering nightmare, repeating itself in his mind like a slideshow.

From 1942 to 1945, the Siamese government provided about 1.5 billion baht of military spending to the Japanese army, and the Japanese stationed more than 300,000 troops in Siam to help the allies realize the construction of the "***** Circle".

In order to pay for the huge expenses of the Japanese garrison, the Luang Phibun government had to print a large amount of money, which led to inflation and soaring prices, and the cost of living of the people skyrocketed, but also provided a good logistics base for the Japanese in Southeast Asia.

However, after the end of World War II, this doggy country became one of the few winners, and it has to be admired.

Now that he is about to enter Southeast Asia, Liao Mingyu is also thinking that if he has the opportunity, he must teach these Siamese monkeys a good lesson.

But to get back to the point, the top priority is to decide whether to save the Nanyang self-help army. If you want to support, you must first open the Yunnan-Burma Highway, enter Burma and then move south to Wa State, but this is not something that can be summed up in a simple single sentence, after all, northern Burma is still entrenched in two or three divisions of the Japanese army.

But if you don't save it, just relying on the combat effectiveness of the self-rescue army, which is slightly stronger than the militia, can be imagined in front of the wolf-like Japanese, not to mention the tens of thousands of horses and horses that are followed by the two Siamese devils behind the buttocks.

Perhaps in the original history, they were submerged in the torrent of history little by little, and the disparity in strength was too great, even if there was a talented person like Fang Jingyao, there was no wave.

But this time, history gave them a different choice, Liao Mingyu touched his chin and secretly considered it, it seems that it is time to rewrite fate again.

"Brother Fang, what do you think about this matter?"

When asked about this, Fang Jingyao was speechless for a while and didn't know how to answer.

After all, this matter came from the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army, although he wanted to ask Liao Mingyu for support, but in the face of taking great risks, it was reasonable for the latter to choose not to help.

"The third regiment will move in the direction of Wan Town in the afternoon, and my order to Chen Jize is to take Wan Town before tomorrow night."

Liao Mingyu's words made Fang Jingyao instantly refreshed, but the latter did not speak, just looked at him with expectant eyes.

"In the afternoon, you took the engineer regiment and Ji Ze and them to take the lead, and took advantage of the rout of the Japanese army to enter Burma first, and approached Nankan and Wax. I will arrange for the first and second regiments to set off as soon as the supplies are completed to expand the results of the battle. ”

Liao Mingyu came to the map, pointed to the various locations that had been marked on it and said one by one, and the entire battle plan instantly appeared in his mind.

"If all goes well, after seven days, the 1st and 3rd regiments will be able to move south to the Wa State to move closer to the self-help army, while the 2nd regiment and the engineer regiment will block the incoming Japanese army. Let Ryuwen move with the Falcon squad then, preferably to get in touch with your men before they make contact with the Japanese. ”

"Brother Liao... This time......" Fang Jingyao was so excited that he was a little speechless.

originally thought that Liao Mingyu would help tentatively at most, and it was more likely that he would shirk things in order to protect himself, but he didn't expect him to help without hesitation, which also made Fang Jingyao grateful in his heart.

"Isn't it just a 53rd Division, even the 18th Division was eaten by us, and you're still afraid of him? What you didn't say was right! Liao Mingyu waved his hand indifferently and said arrogantly.

The reason why he did this was not reckless, Fang Jingyao had been in the army for so long, he had always been conscientious and responsible, and he arranged the affairs of the army very safely, although he only hung the post of staff officer of the division headquarters, but he finished the work of the deputy division commander and the chief of staff, and even supported the shelf of the engineer regiment.

Sometimes Liao Mingyu thinks that with such a strongest assistant, it is too easy for him to be the number one, after all, he has been in charge for so long, if Fang Jingyao leaves one day, he is really not used to it.

Moreover, at that time, after the battle of Nantianmen, the troops suffered heavy casualties, and many soldiers who died in battle had to be paid pensions.

From a strategic point of view, the position of the 53rd Division is exactly between the 3rd Division and the Self-Salvation Army, and if it can successfully join forces with the Self-Rescue Army and annihilate the division in one fell swoop after entering Burma, it will also be a great victory.

Besides, if these thousands of people can be saved, it is also a good batch of supplementary troops, after all, they are ready to come to Burma to make a big move, and if they have an unpleasant quarrel with the high-level of the national government at that time, and there is a problem with the replenishment of troops, it will be troublesome.

It is not uncommon for disobedient troops to be choked by the high-ups.

Materials can still rely on the system, people have no choice, and there is no harm in wanting to gain a firm foothold in Southeast Asia and have a good relationship with them, these are all ready-made soldiers, not to mention those Malaysian Chinese who have been bullied by the Japanese.

But then again, when the 100,000 expeditionary force retreated to the country, it was a bitter crush for the little devils, and tens of thousands of people were lost in Savage Mountain alone.

And although these self-help troops were driven all the way from Kuala Lumpur to northern Myanmar by little devils, they fought their way out of the encirclement and interception, and they have not been eliminated so far, I have to say that there are really some outstanding points.

They have no supplies or backup, their equipment is completely unified, and more than a dozen weapons of different calibers can even appear in the troops, adding to the confusion of the chaotic logistics.

Even in this situation, the whole army still did not collapse, and even in the face of desperate pressure, they were still able to maintain confidence to continue fighting the enemy, perhaps... Thoughtful teams are just different.

If they are allowed to use the weapons and equipment of the soldiers of the Third Division and then properly trained, Liao Mingyu believes that they will definitely be able to bring out an excellent unit with no low combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
