There are also 12,000 Garand rifles, submachine guns, machine guns, rocket launchers and other weapons, plus 20,000 sets of individual equipment, such as helmets, clothing, ammunition bags and other items, which will be sent to the front line as soon as possible in the next few days.

Smith also promised to provide a batch of fuel and several tank and armored vehicle maintenance technicians to help with the daily maintenance and maintenance of the armored units of the third division.

"That's it, dear Smith, you have to hurry up about the supplies, don't do the same thing as last time, and our agreement... Don't forget. ”

Liao Mingyu smiled and stretched out his right hand, the final result made him very satisfied, today is also a major gain.

I have to admire that these Yankees are really generous, it is enough to arm him with these materials, and the points left in his hand can't be exchanged for so many things.

Maybe the system will find this old boy to send supplies to himself in the future, Liao Mingyu thought.

Smith shook his hand with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "I will arrange it, but I also hope that you can send troops as soon as possible, after all, it will be good for you and me for this war to end early." ”

The lion opened his mouth and almost wiped out all his hoards in western Yunnan, which were originally intended to be given to all units of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force in batches to help them improve their combat effectiveness and counterattack Burma as soon as possible.

But now it seems that the combat effectiveness of those guys is really unbearable, and they are still being dragged in Tengchong and the progress is slow, rather than investing in the expeditionary force full of uncertainty, it is better to cooperate with the powerful Liao Mingyu, at least on the surface, the latter has that strength.

In order to end the war in Southeast Asia as soon as possible, and for the sake of his happy old age after retirement, Smith also let go, and directly supported the Third Division, anyway, everything has to be given, to ten people is to give, to one person is also to give, the most important thing is that that one person is stronger than the other ten people.

Regarding heavy units such as tanks and artillery, that is, the last agreement between him and Liao Mingyu, it will only be said after the battle in northern Burma......

Although Smith's episode passed, it also disrupted Liao Mingyu's battle plan.

Originally, he was going to go to the front line first and set up a headquarters in Wan Town, where he used it as the logistics command center for scheduling.

As an important location connecting the north-south and west-west transportation lines, Wan Town can reach Nankan, Bhamo to Myitkyina and other places in the west and north, and to the south is directly connected to Lashio and Mandalay.

Nankan is like a bridgehead on the offensive end, whether it goes north to Myitkyina or south to Lashio and Mandalay, everything depends on Liao Mingyu's meaning.

Originally, it was planned that Chen Jize's third regiment and the engineer regiment would guard Nankan, and the first and second regiments, together with the 200th division, would quickly attack Lashio in order to encircle Wei and save Zhao to help the self-help army relieve the siege, and even wanted to face up to the 53rd Division and severely damage this division with the cooperation of the self-rescue army.

However, now the situation has changed and has to be adjusted, the engineer regiment assisted the 1st Regiment and the 200th Division to continue south to seize Lashio, while the 2nd Regiment stayed in Nam Khan to establish fortifications, and then attacked Myitkyina north with the 3rd Regiment after the supplies were in place.

Of course, the strength of this attack completely depends on Liao Mingyu's intentions and the performance of the situation at that time, it is impossible to fight at both ends when the attack is unfavorable to the south, and he will not do that kind of stupid thing.

The Allies wanted them to share the Japanese firepower, so why didn't they think so? Besides, the momentum of the army stationed in India under Sun Liren should not be too strong, and he doesn't have to worry about the situation in the north at all.

Smith's supplies are on the one hand, but more importantly, Liao Mingyu feels that the current situation of the self-help army itself is not very good, and it is really difficult to say which is stronger or weaker to blindly fight with the 53rd Division, so let's talk about it first.

Fortunately, the 53rd Division has now begun to withdraw and rush back, and the self-help army is temporarily out of danger, which can be regarded as helping Fang Jingyao solve this matter.

As for the Self-Salvation Army, it is now located near the Salween River in Burma, that is, the downstream section of the Nu River that flows into Burma. Compared with the turbulent middle reach, the mountains there are open and the river flow is not large, so it is completely possible to go north along the river into western Yunnan, and then take the land route to Luqiao Township, which is the route where Fang Jingyao bought arms and returned from the beginning.

……

On the other side, Meng was tired and took a group that had already passed Wan Town, and traveled south along the Yunnan-Burma Highway to Lashio.

The purpose of their trip was no longer to fight the 53rd Division head-on, but to occupy and establish a defensive line before the Japanese returned to Lashio, so as to block the 53rd Division in the south and unable to return to northern Burma.

The mountain road was narrow and steep, but fortunately the soldiers of the regiment were accustomed to this marching environment, and although there was no large number of cars to transport them, they quickly left the other two teams behind.

On the contrary, the 200th Division, which had a lot of armored combat vehicles, fell last, and those iron lumps were simply difficult to move in this wet and muddy environment.

After a long walk, one or two tanks or tanks or tanks lay on their stomachs, either mechanically malfunctioning or getting stuck in mud puddles, and had to be dragged out with the help of the engineer regiment, and the march speed of the whole army was delayed.

"Rest in place for half an hour, so that the brothers can hurry up and eat. It's not spicy, you arrange someone to be responsible for guarding. ”

"Got it."

It's past 10 o'clock in the morning, and the fog in the mountains has not completely dissipated, and the surroundings are still immersed in a white sea.

Meng was bored and took off the kettle and poured it into his hand, wiping it his tired face, and the stimulation of the cold water finally lifted his spirits.

After a night of rapid marching, most of the soldiers were exhausted, but they couldn't help it, because it was a race against time, and they had to fight the wax guard before the 53rd Division, otherwise they would be passive when they came out.

"I'm annoying, I've been walking for a day and a night, and there's still a long way ahead?" Bu Spicy walked over, still holding a biscuit in his hand and nibbling on it.

Meng was annoyed and sat on the ground, spread out the map carefully before looking at the marching route, and when he found out where he was, he couldn't help but sigh: "His uncle, this is only half the way, oh, little master..."

They should have walked more than 90 kilometers from Wan Town yesterday morning, but they are still half the way to Lashio, and even if they continue to march rapidly, it is estimated that they will not arrive until the early hours of tonight, despite the time for rest.

"Wang Ba cover drop, is there so far for Mo Zi?" Not spicy and a little frustrated, he sat aside and rubbed his sore calves: "You ask them to numb them, maybe they are almost there." ”

"How can it be so fast, you think it's all mountain rats becoming? They were just 10 kilometers ahead. Meng couldn't help but give him a roll of his eyes.

Long Wenwen and Yao Ma have already taken the Falcon team to take the lead, and at the same time, they are also scouting for the possible ambush ahead, and they have radios to contact each other at any time, and with them in front of the guide, the marching route of the large army is much easier.

After a day and night of rapid marching, the soldiers were not in a good condition, many soldiers had blood blisters on their feet, and some unlucky ones were bitten by the poisonous snakes around them, so in order not to slow down, they could only stay in place and wait for the arrival of the follow-up large army before medical treatment.

In addition to poisonous snakes, those ponds and swamps
