Chapter 555
"Sifan, why are you in such a hurry?" Liao Mingyu was very curious, he knew the other party's character, if it wasn't a very important thing, it would be impossible to come over to find him in person.
Yu Sifan walked close and saluted, took out a telegram translation from the folder, handed it over, and said: "Report Junzuo, this is the latest news from the Nanyang Intelligence Station, please take a look." ”
"What's going on, Lao Yu, the little devil blew up the nest again?" Meng was annoyed and became interested, and came to Yu Sifan's side and asked with interest.
"On the 20th of last month, the Japanese army carried out a comprehensive inventory operation in Singapore, more than 900 innocent Chinese were brutally killed, and more than 150 anti-Japanese people and intelligence officers from all walks of life were arrested, and on the 27th, a public execution was carried out in Republic Square, including the father of the chief of staff of Fang..."
The cold tone did not carry any emotion, Yu Sifan was still as poker as always, but a chill was heard from his words.
"What!?"
Liao Mingyu's brows immediately wrinkled into a Sichuan character, not only because of the atrocities of the Japanese army, but also because of Fang Jingyao's father.
In fact, Old Man Fang was aware of the fact that he was doing things for the Japanese in Malaysia, and many of the intelligence officers sent to Malaysia were saved by relying on the cover of the other party.
Moreover, when the 88th Army was formed, the domestic government did not allocate a dime to the salaries of the troops, although the weapons and equipment and logistics supplies were supplied by the US military and the system, but the salaries of tens of thousands of soldiers were not provided.
This is no more than a problem that can be solved by tens of thousands of yuan in the Sichuan Army, and since the first reorganization of the Honor Third Division, the unit has implemented strict standards for military salaries and pensions, and has never owed a penny in arrears.
After all, most of Liao Mingyu's troops came from all over the world, and most of them had not followed him for too long, and their education level was limited, and their ideological consciousness was not high.
If you talk to those ordinary big-headed soldiers all day long about the nation, righteousness, and the country... This is all nonsense, and they may be able to listen to it when they are full, but when they encounter a desperate situation, they can only think of running away, which is also one of the reasons why most of the domestic army is about to collapse in the face of the Japanese army.
Liao Mingyu doesn't want to treat those soldiers as cannon fodder, what he can do is to do the ultimate in weaponry and logistics supply, give them more support on the battlefield, and let them have a greater chance of surviving in every battle.
At the same time, the main reason why his team can maintain high morale and soldiers who are not afraid of sacrifice and dare to work hard is that he does not deduct his salary, pays the promised pension on time, and takes care of the disabled veterans as much as possible.
Then again, all of this is something that requires a lot of money to achieve, and this huge expenditure at that time really made Liao Mingyu anxious for a while, and forced him to almost prepare to drum up the arms and medicine business again.
Even if you want to go to the black market to do business, you can't get so much money in a while, but the huge military salary vacancy will not wait for you, those tens of thousands of hands can wait for money, it's okay to be in arrears for a month or two temporarily, and something will definitely happen after a long time, and the reputation and prestige that you have built up with great difficulty will be ruined.
In the end, it was Fang Jingyao who used the assets transferred overseas by the Fang family and the Nanyang Chinese Association, and took out millions of oceans worth of funds to subsidize the troops, which solved this urgent need, in fact, all of this was the instruction of Old Man Fang.
It can be said that a large part of the stable development of the team depends on the funding of the Fang family, and Liao Mingyu, the kindness of the old man Fang, is remembered by Liao Mingyu.
But such a righteous and awe-inspiring anti-Japanese person was brutally killed by the Japanese, who could still sit still after hearing the news?
"Why did you only get news about last month!? What does your intelligence group do for food? Why not get people out in advance!? ”
Liao Mingyu slapped his head and questioned Yu Sifan angrily.
Seeing the other party's angry eyes, Yu Sifan had no choice but to grit his teeth and replied:
"Hui Junzuo, the Japanese operation this time is very secretive, like a temporary intention without the slightest warning, our personnel have not had time to obtain information has fallen into the enemy's encirclement and suppression, Singapore has been captured more than seventy percent of the intelligence personnel, the survivors did not dare to contact the site immediately after leaving, until the complete security did not get in touch with our department..."
"Don't talk about these useless things, do you have anything else to say?"
Liao Mingyu looked at him coldly and didn't say more, just kept walking back and forth in front of the two.
"This is an oversight of lowly intelligence, please punish Junza."
Yu Sifan hurriedly bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and seeing that the other party did not respond, he had to continue: "However, judging from the latest news, the deployment of the Japanese army in the Malay region has been dwarfed, and the entire Singapore city defense team is less than 1,000 people, and the troops that can be mobilized from all over the Malay Peninsula have been sent to southern Myanmar..."
Liao Mingyu raised his hand and interrupted the other party, he didn't want to listen to those who didn't have it now, so he hurriedly asked: "I want you to organize the relevant information immediately and put it in my office, and... Does Fang Jingyao know the news? Where are his troops now? ”
"Back to Junzuo, the news came to me as soon as possible, and the Chief of Staff Fang should not know the situation yet." Yu Sifan replied immediately.
"Uh... The 3rd Division of Honor had already departed from Ringanqiang, and most of the troops were stationed in Bea, and the Chief of Staff of Fang should have rushed to Taungoo and Naypyidaw with two main regiments, where the remnants of the Japanese army were being cleared. Meng was annoyed and realized the seriousness of the matter, and quickly replied.
The battle on the front line was fierce, and in order to facilitate the transfer, the Honorable Third Division, the armored brigade and the heavy artillery brigade formed a large army, with Long Wenwen as the commander-in-chief, and Fang Jingyao temporarily acting as the commander of the third division and concurrently serving as the chief of staff.
Liao Mingyu frowned, he had been weighing in his mind whether to tell Fang Jingyaozhong the news now.
After thinking about it, he looked at Meng Fu again, this guy can speak well, it should be better to let him go over and run.
"I'm annoying, you go to Mandalay now, I don't need to say more about what to do, if necessary, replace him back, I will explain to Long Wenwen, and you will temporarily take over the post of chief of staff of the third division."
Obediently, is this going to let me go to the front line?
Meng was annoyed, and he didn't dare to be careless and hurriedly replied: "Yes!" Humble duty understands. ”
"In addition, contact the 3rd Division to seize the offensive against Japan, and I want them to advance to Naypyidaw before the beginning of spring to end this battle."
