My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 282 Wei Lihuang is angry at the meeting

"Thanks to the trust of the head of state, I am honored to be the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. This battle is a battle to defend the country, and it must be a bloody battle! In the future, I hope that all colleagues will cooperate sincerely to drive the Japanese invaders out of the border as soon as possible, and to promote the prestige of China. !"

Wei Lihuang was serious, but with a bit of a smile and easy-going, he expressed his attitude to the officers present.

"Hehe, General Wei is serious."

"Please rest assured, Chief Wei!"

"I will go all out to cooperate with the general to win this battle."

……

Everyone immediately nodded solemnly and agreed, whether it was sincere or not, at least on the surface they must cooperate, most people still respect him very much.

Liao Mingyu also sat up straight. He was not qualified to show off in front of General Wei, and he also admired this famous anti-Japanese general in his heart.

You must know that Wei Lihuang's status in the military is not low, whether it is seniority or record, he is enough to crush everyone present, and he is also a rare powerful faction among the commanders of the large army in the national government.

The other four members of the so-called "Five Tiger Generals" under the head of state are not worthy of their names, and only Wei Lihuang, the "Tiger General", truly deserves his name.

Wei Lihuang was originally appointed as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force when he entered Burma for the first time, but the latter did not take up the post due to some reasons.

In the final analysis, the bald man suspected that he was pro-Soviet. Since the end of 41, he was deprived of the post of commander of the first war zone, and he was kept in Bayu for secret surveillance.

After Chen Cheng left office, he was helpless even with his bald head. The commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force had to find someone with good abilities and prestige in all aspects. Otherwise, how could he hold back those arrogant soldiers?
After thinking about it, I can only use this general known as the "battlefield firefighter" again.

"The current situation in western Yunnan must be understood by everyone, so I won't say more. Here is the second combat plan for entering Myanmar specially approved by the head of state. Let's take a look first."

After Wei Lihuang finished speaking, he asked the adjutant to send a copy of the document to each officer.

Liao Mingyu flipped through the battle plan casually, and lost interest after a while. The content in it was nothing more than a plan for how the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force headed by the 11th Army and the 20th Army would launch an attack on Japan.

"Are you all optimistic, then let's discuss the details of the battle!" Wei Lihuang put on a pair of round glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said slowly.

"Currently most of our 20th Army is located in the southeast of Tengchong, and we have been confronting the 56th Division of the Japanese Army for a long time. Now that the situation has been opened up in Longling, the next step is to capture Tengchong so that all the troops in western Yunnan can be united. Gradually move towards Myanmar."

"I suggest that the 20th Army be the main force to launch an attack on Tengchong, while the 11th Army crosses the Nujiang River to contain the enemy from south to north, cooperate with our army to destroy the 56th Division as quickly as possible, and recover the entire area."

Fang Tian, ​​deputy commander of the 20th Group Army, stood up and solemnly put forward his opinion.

As soon as this remark came out, many military officers echoed it, including the 20th Army and others.

"I don't object to this plan, but I want to know how to cooperate with my 11th Army? If your army's offensive is unfavorable, how to solve it? You must know that the Japanese army in the west will not sit idly by and watch Tengchong be surrounded."

Song Xilian asked blankly, who wouldn't know how to say a few simple sentences?I have been confronting the Japanese army for a long time, have you made any achievements after so long?

When Liao Mingyu attacked Nantianmen, Tengchong's 56th Division sent troops to help or he sent a division to stop the enemy. The 20th Army didn't fart, not to mention that it didn't even do the minimum restraint.

"Hehe, is this battle difficult to say, easy to say, but I would like to hear the advice of the hero who defeated Longling?"

The Commander Huo who was talking to Song Xilian just now suddenly spoke up and shifted the topic to Liao Mingyu.

What the hell?What are you talking about me doing?Liao Mingyu looked blank, not knowing what this man meant.

The others looked over involuntarily, but there were a few provocative gazes among them.

"Hehe, this one is the fierce general who took back Nantianmen and Longling one after another, right?" Wei Lihuang asked softly, his eyes showing rare appreciation.

Liao Mingyu immediately stood up, saluted Wei Lihuang, and replied sonorously: "Yes! Liao Mingyu, the head of the Yuanchuan Army, is reporting to you!"

"Looking like an iron-blooded soldier, it's really the waves behind the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead."

Wei Lihuang nodded, and praised from the bottom of his heart, there are not many young people in the government who can achieve such a proud record in the war against Japan.

"Since Commander Huo has said so, you can express your own opinion."

"Yes."

It's all about this, and if you pretend to be confused, you can't justify it. Liao Mingyu sorted out his thoughts a little, and said a few words simply:

"Multi-channel encirclement, exert pressure, and at the same time hold back the enemy's rushing aid from Myanmar. It is only a matter of time before Tengchong is taken."

Now the situation is very clear. Nantianmen and Longling have been captured. Except for the 56th Division in Tengchong, there are only a few small towns west of the Burma Road still occupied by Japanese troops.

If you want to fight, don't be too simple, first block the road line, and a few troops will go to Tengchong to encircle, and the little devils will only have more than 2 people left. What tricks can they come up with?
"To put it lightly, the Japanese are not made of mud. It seems that they can disarm and surrender with just a few words from you yellow-mouthed kid."

At this time, a lieutenant general officer next to Commander Huo sarcastically sarcastically.

"I don't know what to call this officer?" Liao Mingyu asked with a smile, not feeling annoyed.

"Hmph! Commander of the 54th Army, Que Hanqian." The lieutenant general replied proudly.

"I remember that Commander Que's 54th Army defense area should be the closest to Gaoligong Mountain, right?"

"So what?"

"Then so what if you occupy the latrine by yourself and don't shit?" Liao Mingyu sneered, and suddenly raised his voice to sarcastically.

"Liao Mingyu! What do you mean!" Que Hanqian stood up abruptly and roared angrily.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward, and Yu Xiaoqing who was next to him was also taken aback, and quickly tugged at the corner of Liao Mingyu's clothes, signaling him not to be so impulsive.

Liao Mingyu was unmoved, and raised his head and said harshly: "Gaoligong Mountain has only a regiment of defensive troops, but they can unscrupulously support Nantianmen and Longling. I would like to ask if your army came to the west of Yunnan?" Are you watching a play?"

"You fart!" Que Hanqian's face turned completely red in an instant, apparently extremely uncomfortable from being choked.

"We still need you to teach our army how to fight? Don't think that a young boy can do whatever he wants with his military merits. Who here is not higher than your position? How can you let you talk nonsense here!"

The deputy commander, Fang Tian, ​​snorted heavily, and pointed at Liao Mingyu to reprimand him.

"That's right, there is no respect!" Another unknown officer also began to echo.

Liao Mingyu's eyes froze, and before he said anything, he started to attack him. Obviously, the other party deliberately wanted to embarrass him.

However, Liao Mingyu was happy and unafraid. He raised his head and chest and criticized the people of the 20th Army plausibly. Now that they have torn their faces, there is nothing to say. He has never been in vain:
"We fought inextricably with the Japanese in Longling, but the Japanese army as far away as Tengchong can rush to help at any time. Counting the Japanese in the direction of Gaoligong Mountain, there are now two regiments cruising on the right flank of our army, forcing I had to divide my troops into two groups to return to Nantianmen."

"Is my army the only one in western Yunnan? I just want to know what my so-called allies are doing? The Japanese are not made of mud, maybe you are made of mud?"

Yu Xiaoqing was speechless inwardly. This guy's mouth is still so poisonous. Back then, he often made him speechless. I guess those officers wanted to kill people.
"presumptuous!"

"This criminal who dares to kill even his superiors is not worthy of joining us!"

"Get him out!"

……

Sure enough, all the officers of the 20th Army stood up angrily and scolded Liao Mingyu. Even Commander Huo, who had been sitting leisurely on a chair and laughing, couldn't sit still, and stared at him coldly.

In fact, they were indeed influenced by Commander Huo today, and wanted to embarrass Liao Mingyu so that he could not get off the stage.

After all, the 8th Army belongs to the 20th Army, and his killing of He Shaozhou caused a lot of uproar. It can be said that everyone in the 20th Army present has a grudge against him, and no one is used to him.

Coupled with the fact that some officers are relatives of Minister He, it would be a ghost to give him a good face.

"Huo Kuizhang! What do you mean? Do you think there is no one in my 11th Army!?"

Song Xilian slammed his eyebrows on the table and yelled angrily. A group of people pointed their noses at his subordinates and scolded him. Why, I, Song Xilian, don't want to lose face?

No matter how you say it, Liao Mingyu is the number one general under his command, and he should stand up for him both emotionally and rationally.

People from the 6th Army led by Huang Jie also joined in the scolding battle.For a while, the whole meeting room was full of gunpowder, and there were noises one after another.

"enough!"

With a loud shout, the entire conference room fell silent instantly...

"This is the Expeditionary Army's combat discussion meeting, not the streets, so don't blame me, Wei, for not recognizing anyone if you are presumptuous!"

Officer Wei's words were like a curse, causing everyone to stop arguing immediately. Although everyone was still aggrieved, they didn't dare to say anything more in front of this big man, so they could only sit back on their chairs helplessly.

Originally, Wei Lihuang thought that when he came to West Yunnan for the first time, he would save some face for the various army commanders and let them discuss the battle plan before making a decision.

Unexpectedly, these guys are not good at quarreling, and they started to quarrel without saying a few words. It seems that they have to burn them with a fire to calm down the situation.

Seeing that everyone finally calmed down, Wei Lihuang, whose face was full of frost, continued to speak: "Since you can't discuss any plan, let me make it!"

“暂定20集团军第53军54军主攻腾冲城与来凤山，由第8军和11集团军第71军协同进攻高黎贡山。”

"The 14th Flying Squadron of the US Allied Forces will also send out support. At that time, there will be hundreds of aircraft of various types covering your heads."

"At the same time, the 11nd Army and 2th Army of the 6th Group Army marched to Longling and attacked Tengchong City from south to north. We must advance in three directions and strive to take Tengchong within half a month!"

The effect of the boss's speech is different. After some orders, no one will say no, and they already look like they are obeying orders.

Liao Mingyu nodded secretly. This arrangement can be said to be the safest plan. With a force of 20 people rushing forward on all sides, it will not be difficult to resolve the battle within half a month.

The only thing to pay attention to is the Japanese support troops from Burma, as well as the coordination of various troops. If everyone does not work hard, then go home and farm.

"Commander of the Guards, which force should be used to defend the reinforcements from Burma?"

Huo Kuizhang raised a question. The main forces of the two armies have basically made arrangements, and the rest are almost second-line troops. It is difficult to guarantee their combat effectiveness. It is probably difficult to resist the attack of Little Japan.

"Have you forgotten the honorary third division of Longling?" Wei Lihuang chuckled lightly, and pointedly said, "Liao Mingyu, is there any problem with sending your troops to stop the Japanese army?"

Hearing these words, Liao Mingyu regained his energy instantly. It was a question of whether there was a problem or not. He could only wish for it. He immediately replied loudly, "Go back to Commander-in-Chief and make sure to complete the task!"

"Okay, then the west side will be handed over to your third division, don't let me down!" Wei Lihuang warned solemnly.

The task of this aid is arduous and will directly affect the progress of the Tengchong campaign, but Wei Lihuang also believes that in terms of the combat effectiveness of the third division, the entire expeditionary force is no better than them.

Liao Mingyu secretly rejoiced in his heart, rather than fighting with those seemingly incompatible guys, it would be more enjoyable to jump out and face the little devil alone.

Moreover, Tengchong has many mountains and less roads, dense forests, and the terrain is more rugged than Zenda or Nantianmen. It is difficult to transport various heavy equipment of the Third Division, and it is difficult to bring out the greatest firepower advantage.

To be honest, he is not at all happy to fight this kind of nerve-wracking battle, but now the "understanding" guard commander has taken the initiative to let them undertake the rescue mission.
"With just one division, can they stop the Japanese attack? According to intelligence, most of the enemy's 18th division is moving from northern Burma to western Yunnan." Huo Kuizhang shook the fat on his face and asked doubtfully.

His worries are not unreasonable. If something goes wrong, the expeditionary army's buttocks will be exposed to the enemy's eyes. At that time, if the whole body is mobilized, the main force will be attacked by the enemy, and it may be pushed back by the Japanese.

"Hehe, Commander Huo probably forgot how many Japanese have been killed by them on the west bank of the Nu River in the past two months? If you are really worried, why don't you let your Honor First Division go to garrison? North attack?"

Song Xilian sneered, never letting go of the opportunity to ridicule the fat man
Huo Kuizhang turned his head away angrily and did not speak. He had to admit that he was also the honorary teacher. His record in Rongyi Division was indeed not as good as that of Liao Mingyu and the others.

Besides, I don't blame Song Xilian for being cowardly, the third division of honor is really up to the task.

"Anyone who thinks he can take on the 18th Division can bring it up. At worst, I'll give him the mission of reinforcements." Liao Mingyu clasped his fingers and said indifferently.

As soon as this remark came out, no one dared to answer it. Who the hell had the ability to face a division of the Japanese army alone, or the main division with extremely high combat effectiveness.

Cut, a bunch of trash!
At this moment, Liao Mingyu's haughty face curled his lips. He was ridiculed by everyone just now, but now he has become the key to undertake an important task.

Although he still glanced at him with some malicious intentions, he didn't care at all, his disdainful expression seemed to say: Sorry, I'm not targeting anyone, I just want to say that everyone here is rubbish.
