Chapter 387: Bad Heart
"The report was seated, and the tower correspondent said that the military plane had flown over Nankan and landed five minutes later."
Liao Mingyu looked up, although he couldn't see the shadow of the plane, but the roar still came slowly from the sky.
"Has the runway been cleared?"
"Don't worry, it's all cleaned up."
Ten minutes later, the C47 transport plane finally came to a steady stop on the runway, and soon the cabin door opened, and a fat man with a big waist and a round waist was the first to get out of it.
"Salute Chief Fan!"
More than 30 soldiers of the guard battalion stood up and saluted in unison, Fan Shaozeng was stunned by this scene as soon as he got off the plane, and his fat face looked very surprised.
Seeing that a young officer with a golden face and two stars was standing at the head of the group, he was looking at him with a smile, and he didn't have to guess who this person was.
"Oh, you don't have to be polite, you don't have to be polite. This is Brother Liao, right? What a personable talent. Fan Shaozeng hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him warmly.
"Hehe, Chief Fan is polite, I have prepared a table of good wine and food for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, let's go first?"
While speaking, Liao Mingyu also began to look up and down at the "Commander Ha'er" in front of him
Fan Shaozeng is not tall but his body is unusually fat, and his fat military uniform is obviously a custom size, different from Krupp's tall bear style, he looks more rounded, a simple and cute round face is like a leather ball, and he laughs like a Maitreya Buddha.
"Oh, thank you, Brother Liao, but don't worry, I'm still a little bit of a teacher. Come on, Adjutant Fan! Bring the handwritten commendation order and medal. ”
Fan Bao behind him hurriedly took out the commendation order and a delicate locket from his briefcase.
"Ahem... Love general Liao Mingyu meritorious battle, drive the enemy outside the country, is a model of Chinese soldiers, the nation's luck, awarded a medal of the blue sky and white sun, hope to live up to expectations and create brilliance......
Fan Shaozeng took the commendation order and talked eloquently, this is something that the chief specially explained before he came, after all, if you have merit, you will be rewarded.
This time, a total of two third-class Baoding medals, five fifth-class Baoding medals, and a larger number of Yunlu medals and loyalty medals were awarded to Long Wenwen, Chen Jize and others who fought on the front line.
Liao Mingyu took it with a smile on the surface, but he didn't care in his heart, and his bald head likes to engage in these vain things to attract people's hearts.
I have several medals myself, and this thing can't be eaten, so what's the use of hanging it to look good? Why don't you go to the actual ocean?
Besides, the 1.8 million fiat currency is like toilet paper, and it costs tens of thousands of yuan to buy a chicken with this Raush thing, and the purchasing power is not as good as a year a year, and the degree of inflation can be imagined.
"In addition, the Führer also ordered you to serve as the deputy of the military department of the new 88th Army, which is the appointment document, and later... You and I are going to work together sincerely. ”
This Fan Ha'er is really familiar, and he has already begun to call him a brother and sister before he can talk a few words, but his last words moved Liao Mingyu.
The Führer actually put himself in the post of deputy in the army? This was unexpected.
originally thought that this transfer turmoil was somewhat offensive to the bald head, but he didn't think that not only did he not get angry, but he promoted himself to another level, which made people scratch their heads.
"This time, the Ministry of Military Affairs transferred you to Jiangxi without success, and Lao Jiang was afraid that you would be uneasy, so he gave some sweetness to stabilize people's hearts."
As if seeing Liao Mingyu's hesitation, Fan Shaozeng quietly came up and said mysteriously:
"Hey, hey... But your baby is really (powerful), several bigwigs came forward to protect people, Lao Tzu... Belch... I've never seen anyone with such a big drop of face. ”
Liao Mingyu smiled bitterly, Fan Shaozeng is really fast-talking, and he will tell the truth outward.
Any military commander who takes up his post is a large group of people, and at least there must be a guard team to follow. He's good, he didn't bring anything except an accompanying adjutant, and he looked like a master of art and boldness.
However, it is such sincerity and unpretentiousness that has won a lot of favor from Liao Mingyu.
……
= "Five-star chef" snake butt has already prepared a table of wine and food, in order to cater to Fan Shaozeng's taste, he, a Cantonese chef, also started Sichuan cuisine.
"Come to Commander Fan, thin wine and mussels are not a tribute, try it to see if it suits your taste."
At the wine table, Liao Mingyu greeted warmly, and also called Meng Fu, Milong and others to accompany him, and the delicacies on the table could be regarded as enough to increase Fan Shao's face.
"Hey, brother, don't be polite, I don't hold my mouth, what to eat, otherwise where will this fat grow?" Fan Shaozeng waved his hand indifferently and joked humorously.
"Haha... Commander Fan is quick to speak, admire, come and I will toast you! ”
"Commander Fan, I also toast you!"
"Haha... Dry! ”
"Slippery... Tut! Fan Shaozeng took a sip of wine beautifully, and said to Liao Mingyu with a smile: "I am born in the twentieth year of Guangxu, and it is estimated that I will be one year older than you, so it's not too much to take advantage of you and call your brother, right?" ”
"Huh... Where's the word? Brother Fan, this is worthy of me. ”
Everyone was so happy to push the cup and change the lamp, and after the three rounds of food and wine and five flavors, everyone was almost familiar with each other, and the conversation became less restrained.
Especially Milong, an iron and simple drunkard, it is easy to seize a chance to drink, how can he let it go, and directly throw away the cup in exchange for a big bowl of energy.
Liao Mingyu also held a glass and toasted repeatedly, and the bold Fan Harr did not refuse, and a few jars of liquor quickly bottomed out, and the eyelids of the adjutant Fan Bao next to him jumped.
Needless to say, the amount of alcohol in the Northeast Han, the momentum is the same as drinking boiled water, and there is a Liao Mingyu next to him who has a hanging physique that is different from ordinary people, even Fan Shaozeng, who has been mixing with the wine table for a long time, is a little overwhelmed, and begged for mercy again and again.
"Hey, hey... Lao Tzu never drank so much wine on the day he got married... Brothers, steady, slow down..."Fan Shaozeng's face was flushed, and his tongue was a little numb.
"Hehe, brother massively, what is this bit of wine? Come and we're having a toast. Saying that, Liao Mingyu picked up the cup again.
it... Are these people all bottomless pits? How can a few jars of liquor be like a nobody?
Fan Shaozeng looked at the wine glass in front of him and felt a little numb, and if he drank it again, he might have to lie down and go back today, but wouldn't it be shameless to say that he couldn't drink it?
Just when he was in a dilemma, Fan Bao really couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly dissuaded him: "Commander, you have drunk too much, you can't drink anymore, I'm afraid that if you drink again, you will drill the foot of the table..."
"Fart! Which says I've drunk too much? Turtle son has your part in talking? You can't come over to accompany Chief Liao, right? ”
Fan Shaozeng said and squeezed his eyebrows at Fan Bao, who had been with him for decades and had already had a good idea, and immediately picked up the cup and came up: "Sir Liao, the humble position is abrupt, you don't remember the villain, you will pay you a compensation, and the humble duty will be done!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay..."
With Fan Bao sharing the firepower, Fan Shaozeng suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, although he put down the wine glass, his words obviously became more, everything was talked about in the world, and there were no twists and turns in his words, and he looked like a bit of a heroic person in the rivers and lakes.
Liao Mingyu looked at him funny, how could this trick of the golden cicada be hidden from his eyes.
The personality of this Commander Hal is really as upright and face-loving as rumored, but also cunning as a fox, after all, his deeds have also been made into many serials in later generations.
When this guy was young, he did things recklessly, and did a lot of ridiculous and shocking things, coupled with being extremely lustful, the wife of Aunt Jia in the main house married more than 40 people, and also built a "Fan Mansion" in Sichuan, specially to house these concubines and wives, which can be described as a rare legend among male livestock.
However, there is some truth to saying that he is "Harr", before starting his career as a warlord, this guy used to be the "second best guy" in the mouth of Sichuan.
A rich son from a scholarly family actually fell into the grass, just like the family obviously has gold and silver mountains but just don't want to play, you have to go to the bottom to mix with the society, which is an incomprehensible thing in itself, but no one thought that the more was still to come.
Once when the bandits gathered, everyone was complaining that "business is difficult to do" and was about to be uncovered, because these robes pay attention to thieves and have a way, and they can't rob the poor people, but big families have private soldiers who are not easy to use, so the brainless Fan Shaozeng began to propose to draw a fist to discuss winning or losing, who loses and robs who's house, but in the end it was he who lost.
Seeing that it was difficult to ride a tiger, and everyone persuaded them to joke and forget it, this guy was stunned and said that the manly husband counted, and he really led the bandits to steal half of his granary in the middle of the night.
Later, the matter was revealed, and he was buried alive by the old man of the Fan family, and before he died, he scolded the old man in turn, and finally if Fan Bao hadn't taken advantage of the chaos to dig him out of the soil, his life would have almost been confessed.
There are countless incidents like this, all of which show that Fan Shaozeng is a wonderful and complex person, but he is such a straightforward and righteous wonder, but he is also an iron-blooded general who made great achievements in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
Now that he was full of food and drink, Fan Shaozeng, who was in a daze, gently tapped on the table with chopsticks and said, "Brother, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not, brother?" ”
"Oh? Brother Fan, but it doesn't hurt to say. Liao Mingyu looked at him curiously.
Fan Shaozeng didn't answer immediately, but looked left and right at the people on the table, and the meaning was self-evident.
"Annoying, lost dragon, know how to use knives... When you are full, go out for a walk first, and I have military affairs to discuss with Commander Fan. Liao Mingyu understood and immediately made arrangements.
"Yes!"
"Fan Bao, you also go out..."
All the irrelevant people cleared the room, and the door slammed shut, and the surroundings became quiet in an instant.
"Brother Liao, I'm not an outsider here, I'll tell you honestly..."
Fan Shaozeng, who was still staring at him just now, suddenly came to his senses at this moment, although he still had some drunken demeanor, but his eyes were a lot clearer, he was not verbose, sat up straight and said solemnly:
"Lao Jiang sent me here just to boil a frog in warm water and slowly empty your military power,
"Why did Brother Fan suddenly tell me this?" Liao Mingyu didn't rush to make a statement, his fingers were on the table and he was tapping rhythmically.
"I won't hide it anymore, Lao Jiang's suspicion is too serious, and those turtle sons in the Ministry of Military Affairs are not things, I am just miserable by these dogs."
Fan Shaozeng slapped the table hard, his fat face was full of anger, and he continued angrily:
"I think that when Lao Tzu went out of Sichuan to resist the Japanese, he didn't ask Chongqing for a penny, and finally relied on his own hands to pull up the 88th Army of the Sichuan Army. Lao Jiang didn't talk about any favors at all, and directly watched the play in the back of Lao Tzu's road, if it was you, would you be angry? ”
On December 24, Christmas Eve, the Indian army, which had been advancing rapidly, suddenly underwent some changes, resulting in some shortages in the logistics of the front-line troops.
The logistical support of tens of thousands of people is not a trivial matter, and although it has not caused a direct impact, the seriousness of the problem has still aroused the worries of various commanders in the army.
After many investigations, it was found that the result was that because this day was regarded as an extremely important holiday in the eyes of Westerners, the British in charge of logistics deployment were busy living peacefully.
The Americans are good to say, at least they still know that the overall situation is important, and the 5307 Merrill Commando has been cruising around Sun Liren's 38th Division, and the Air Force is also on call. But those "English gentlemen" didn't care about any of this, and no one could stop them from wanting to take a holiday.
It was originally planned that on the 22nd of this month, the 36th and 77th Brigades of the British Army would penetrate directly into the rear from the right flank, cooperate with the main offensive of the Indian army, and at the same time cut off the railway from Mandalay to Myitkyina, and destroy the logistics supply line of the Japanese.
But the gang actually used the Christmas truce as an excuse to prevaricate the questioning of the headquarters, and the two troops were also contented to prepare the food needed for the holiday in the same place.
These slapsticks made Stilwell yelled whatthefuсk, pointing at the noses of the Brits in the command and scolding, are you here for a vacation or a war?
But the tsundere English gentleman didn't care about this, I was used to what I was used to, and even the nominal Supreme Commander, General Mountbatten, felt that there was no need to be so anxious about this matter, it was just a delay of a day or two, after all, the soldiers could only devote themselves to the battle after they were repaired.
God, how could I have met such a stupid pig teammate? The enraged Stilwell was so angry that he almost had a heart attack, and in comparison, the unpretentious and hard-working Chinese were the best soldiers.
Sour Vinegar Joe can be regarded as seeing through it, he can't expect those British fools to fight well, and he has to be careful that they get into trouble at all times, it's just...
……
A few days later, the Provisional Seventh Division finally arrived at Nankan, and the three regiments of the division had a total of 9,000 men, and there was a mountain artillery battalion and a battle defense artillery battalion, all of which were old-fashioned things, and the quality of the soldiers was also low.
These are not the point, before the arrival of the Seventh Division, Liao Mingyu began to inquire whether the commander of the division was surnamed Chang, and specially asked the other party if there was a military band.
However, the answer was no, this unit was only reorganized from the local security regiment this year, and there were some miscellaneous teams that were broken up in the middle.
"There's no military band, and there's no one there, it seems that it's really not that legendary army,"
In the office of the headquarters, Liao Mingyu rubbed his chin and muttered to himself, the state government's management of these temporary divisions is very chaotic, and it is not surprising that the numbers are repeated.
"Counselor... Uh, no, Junza-sama, who are you talking about? Meng walked into the office with a roster and asked curiously.
"Oh nothing, I thought the commander of the Seventh Division was a guy who wasn't good at running."
"Uh... The commander of the Seventh Division is surnamed Zhao, and his name is Zhao Yanchun, and he seems to have just been promoted."
