My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 231 Commander Zhong's Mind

8 points.

Liao Mingyu led the guard battalion to the headquarters of the Yu division quickly. It was strange that there were many more jeeps at the entrance of the headquarters.

Moreover, the surrounding area was heavily guarded. There was a group of elite soldiers in the uniform of the Central Army guarding the door, and a captain at the head was watching them vigilantly.

This force has at least the size of a reinforced company. Several trucks are parked beside the road, and there are actually two small towed cannons behind them.

Liao Mingyu pursed his lips, the battle was not small, it seems that some important person must have come inside, and it was probably the Xingshi who came to ask the crime.

As expected, the captain immediately greeted him and gave a polite military salute: "Excuse me, sir, please report your identity."

"Sichuan Army, Liao Mingyu." Liao Mingyu bowed back and said coldly.

It turned out that he was the head of the Sichuan Army who didn't obey the command, so young.

"Mr. Liao, please come in."

The captain was a little surprised by Liao Mingyu's age, but he still respectfully stepped aside to get out of the way.

Liao Mingyu nodded and strode inwards. The situation inside the courtyard was the same as outside. The heavily armed soldiers stood at every ten steps, and there was a sense of murderousness spontaneously.Yu Xiaoqing's guards stood at a distance like some kittens. Those who didn't know it thought that Master Yu had changed the court.

In the lobby, a middle-aged military officer with a square face was sitting in a high position, sipping tea leisurely with a cup.On his collar badge is the rank of lieutenant general with two corners of the gold face.

Yu Xiaoqing, who was full of sorrow, stood beside him. His eyes lit up when he saw Liao Mingyu coming in, and he immediately stepped forward and introduced him as if he was waiting for a life-saving straw: "Junzuo, this is the head of the Sichuan Army. Head Liao , This is Commander Zhong of our 71st Army.”

"Mr. Zhong." Liao Mingyu saluted symbolically as a greeting.

"Captain Liao is very powerful."

Commander Zhong put down his teacup slowly, raised his eyelids and looked Liao Mingyu up and down.

This person is just like the rumors, young, rebellious, probably a reckless person who thinks that there are people in the court and his heart is higher than the sky.

"Don't dare to take it." Liao Mingyu stared straight ahead, he didn't have a good impression of this guy who urged them to stop attacking eight hundred times in the telegram.

"Hmph, the order I gave was to stop the attack immediately, but you guys are fighting happily. The entire military deployment in western Yunnan has been disrupted by you. Commander Liao...why don't you dare?" Zhong Bin snorted coldly. One sound, the meaning of anger is particularly obvious.

"The order I received a few months ago was to wait for the opportunity and open up the Yunnan-Myanmar Kilometer as soon as possible. Since Shangfeng asked me to wait for the opportunity, it is reasonable for me to attack Nantianmen now." Liao Mingyu replied seriously.

"You're telling me what you ordered a few months ago? As the commander of the line from Henglan Mountain to Baoshan, don't I have the qualifications to order your Sichuan Army?"

Zhong Bin slapped the table heavily, the attitude of this little regiment leader made him furious.

"I think Commander Zhong has misunderstood. As an independent reinforced regiment of the military region, my unit is under the direct command of the 11th Army Command, but my unit has not received orders from Commander Song, so please forgive me for not being able to follow orders."

Liao Mingyu's words were neither humble nor overbearing, and there was no panic in his answers.Don't say that Chief Song didn't order him to stop attacking, even if he gave the order, he wouldn't take it seriously, and he should fight as usual!

Yu Xiaoqing secretly applauded, today he realized how kind Liao Mingyu's annoying mouth is.

He was a sharp-tongued kid, Zhong Bin didn't expect Liao Mingyu to be so eloquent, and he actually played a word game with him, and then asked, "I won't talk with you, I'll ask you, let's fight!" So what are you going to do next?"

Liao Mingyu chuckled, and immediately replied: "What should I do? Hit me as you like."

Yu Xiaoqing also persuaded from the side, "Junzuo, we have gained a great advantage at present, we have wiped out more than [-] enemies in just one day, if..."

"Enough!" Unexpectedly, Commander Zhong suddenly snapped, "Your work is not over yet, how dare you make noise here!"

Yu Xiaoqing closed her mouth in resentment. Zhong Bin, as his immediate superior and his father's old friend, was already at a loss because of his disobedience on the battlefield.

"Liao Mingyu, I know your troops can fight, but you have to understand that the Japanese reinforcements will arrive in Songshan as early as tomorrow, and there are at least 3000 defenders on the Nantian Gate. You have the ability to wipe them out in one day. ?”

Liao Mingyu's face turned cold, and he had to say that Commander Zhong's words made some sense, and this was what he was most worried about.

Zhong Bin didn't care about his expression, tapped his fingers on the table and continued:

"Don't look at how big your advantage is. From a strategic point of view, the Japanese army has approached here from two directions. If you insist on going your own way, then the soldiers on the West Bank will have to be made dumplings by others!"

"Then Commander Zhong... what do you mean?" Liao Mingyu asked back.

Zhong Bin smiled slightly, what he wanted was Liao Mingyu's reaction: "I know you still have two troops hiding in the dark on the west bank, I have to say that your strategy is quite good, but... let's take a look at the current situation. It may not be possible to hit the Nantianmen."

Liao Mingyu didn't speak, just quietly looked at Zhong Bin and waited for his next words.

"In my opinion, the best solution is to suspend the attack and wait for the reinforcements from the rear." Zhong Bin said as he picked up a teacup and took a sip, turning his eyes to other places.

"Oh? I still have reinforcements for my feelings." Liao Mingyu pretended to be curious, and he probably guessed the intention of Commander Zhong.

"Of course, the 87th Division of our army is the closest to Zenda. If you march at full speed, the main force will arrive tomorrow night. Then let them take charge of the main attack. After all, your frontal team has also suffered heavy losses. Isn't this a good thing for you? Is it a good thing?"

Zhong Bin put down his teacup and turned to look at Yu Xiaoqing, and then said to him earnestly: "When the time comes, Master Yu and the Sichuan Army will retreat, and your father and I will be friends for years. Let's see each other after we wipe out all his old troops." It’s hard to talk too.”

"Commander Liao's two battalions on the west bank happened to be able to stop the Japanese army coming to help. what."

Yu Xiaoqing's pupils shrank slightly, and what he said was high-sounding, he just wanted to get a piece of the action!

Liao Mingyu also sneered again and again, this Army Commander Zhong had a pretty good idea, he let himself do all the hard work, as long as he jumped out at the critical moment to attack the Nantianmen, he would take credit for the day's great achievements.

Zhong Bin was at ease in his heart. Originally, he came to Chanda to inquire about his crimes and relieve Yu Xiaoqing's military power, but the current situation gave him an opportunity. Why not take advantage of this situation to make some military exploits?
You must know that the credit for capturing Nantianmen and opening up the Yunnan-Burma Highway is not small, enough to bring his official career to another level.

As an officer of the Whampoa family in the same period as General Song, he was much worse than the former in terms of ability and actions, which is one of the reasons why he has been serving as his deputy.Although the relationship between the two of them is usually good, but who wouldn't want to make further progress?

"If you don't have any comments, just make a decision like this, and I will notify you immediately..."

"Mr. Zhong may have forgotten the school motto at the gate of Huangpu." Before Zhong Bin finished speaking, Liao Mingyu interrupted him in a deep voice.

"Liao Mingyu, what do you mean!"

Zhong Bin roared with a grim expression. He was indeed a little cautious, but everyone understood. Don't they understand the rules of cooperation and win-win in the officialdom?

"What do you mean? You and I both know that a battle that can be resolved in one day has to be postponed until tomorrow night. If your troops can reach Zenda tonight, it doesn't matter that I, Liao Mingyu, give up the main attacking position, but you are doing it for the sake of your heart." In a small way, those Chinese compatriots on the West Bank are injustice!"

Liao Mingyu shouted angrily, he really couldn't stand these bureaucracies anymore, they would do anything for the little military exploits under their hands.

"Everyone understands that the longer this battle drags on, the more detrimental it will be to our side. My brothers who are desperately on the west bank are waiting for me to lead people to chop off the dog heads of Takeuchi Lianshan, but you let me wait for your troops to come up." Let’s launch a general offensive, what do those soldiers who are still rolling in blood think!?”

The battlefield is changing rapidly, and when the main force of the 87th Division comes up, no one knows what the battle situation will turn out to be.The Japanese army is not a fool, will they wait for you to slowly draw out the knife and sharpen it before stretching out your neck to chop it for you?
As long as there is a problem in any link and the follow-up troops will not be able to attack, the entire Nantianmen Battle will really fall short, all blood will be shed in vain, and the group of people on the top of the mountain will die without a place to bury them.
