My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 283 Sudden Olive Branch
"Commander, what's the matter?"

At around 9:[-] p.m., the combat meeting was over, and all the officers left the field one after another and went back to their homes to find their mothers. Only Liao Mingyu was called to the office by Wei Lihuang, as if he had something to say to him alone.

Wei Lihuang didn't answer him right away, but took out a second-class Baoding Medal and an appointment document from the drawer.At the same time, he took this opportunity to carefully look at this young man in his early 30s, full of curiosity and admiration.

"This is the award given to you by the supreme officer for your victory in this battle. I hope you will work hard and do your best."

Wei Lihuang personally wore the medal for him, and encouraged him with approval. It is rare for him to be promoted but his position does not remain. Maybe even higher.

"Thank you sir!"

Liao Mingyu raised his hand in salute, accepting this honor quietly, but there was no big disturbance in his heart.

He is not alone in the mismatch between military rank and position in the government, but as long as the actual troops he can control are not a problem, he doesn't care about these vain things.

Moreover, this title has long been used by high-level officials. Whether it is brigade commander, division commander, army commander, corps commander, or even the deputy commander-in-chief of the corps, he may be a lieutenant general. This rank is worthless at all.

"According to the intelligence, the 18th Regiment of the enemy's 55th Division has already reached the border Wanding, and the 56th Regiment also tends to move eastward. If we launch the Tengchong Campaign, it is estimated that the entire 18th Division will come out to attack western Yunnan."

Wei Lihuang looked out the window and said very worriedly.

This battle is no small matter, and the order of the head of state is also very clear, to open up the Yunnan-Burma Highway, to ensure the smooth flow of the logistics strategic supply line from Yunnan to India in the southwest of China.

Now that you have decided to fight, you have to use your brains. The Japanese army is likely to rush to help western Yunnan at all costs to prevent their strategic goals. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of bloody battle it will be.

"Kunming is too far away from the front line. I am going to move the headquarters of the expeditionary army to Chanda. Having said that...can your troops really withstand the attack of a division without collapsing?"

Wei Lihuang was a little bit worried. After all, it was a division, and even if he pulled out a well-equipped army to fight against it, it would be difficult to retreat completely.

"I dare not say that they will be completely defeated, but it is not a big problem to block them to the west of Longling. But..."

With the firepower of the third division occupying a favorable terrain for defensive warfare, it is almost impossible for the 18th division, which lacks a wing, to break through their defense line. Besides, the transfer of a division is not easy.

Liao Mingyu seemed very confident, and then changed the subject, and said in a blunt voice: "After all, the enemy army is powerful, and our army will not feel comfortable if we really want to fight. I also want to ask the commander to give more support and supplies."

It would be foolish not to reach out and ask for something at this time. The astute Liao Mingyu would definitely not let go of the opportunity.

"You boy, tell me, what do you want?" Wei Lihuang could not fail to see his intention, shook his head and gave him a blank look, and said with a smile.

"It's mainly cars and military rations. Now I'm all American weapons. I don't need 79 bullets. But I want to ask the commander to help me prepare some 7.62 bullets for my allies. I also need 75 shells... Oh yes, I heard that the 200th division is not Is it idle in Kunming, hehe, I don't know..."

Liao Mingyu was not too polite, he listed a large number of supplies, and finally made his mind on the 200th division. The way the lion opened its mouth made Wei Lihuang's face turn green.

"Are you a division or an army? Why do you need so many supplies?" Wei Lihuang asked with a straight face.

"Otherwise, how could we have achieved such a good record? Sir, think about it, I have completely wiped out several Japanese regiments during this period of time." Liao Mingyu smiled and continued his routine.

"Forget it, ammunition and supplies are fine, and I can help you with trucks, but what I don't understand is what do you need a tank for? How do you drive this mountain?"

"The commander forgot, didn't we have a ready-made road? Mangshi is still a flat terrain, which is just right for the deployment of armored troops."

The two started a heated discussion. Liao Mingyu used his three-inch tongue to make Wei Lihuang dumbfounded.It's true that people can't be judged by appearances. I didn't expect this kid to have such an eloquent mouth.

……

"The flag is fluttering, the horse is fluttering, the gun is on the shoulder and the knife is on the waist..."

Liao Mingyu came out of the office humming a song. He was in a good mood at the moment, obviously he got unexpected benefits from the bargaining with Wei Lihuang.

Just a few steps away, I saw a few people standing outside the headquarters, wasn't that Yu Xiaoqing's group and Dong Dao who were waiting outside.

"So happy?" Yu Xiaoqing was a little suspicious, how could this guy be as happy as eating honey.

"Hey, of course I'm happy when good things happen again and again. I said brother Yu, the plane won't be able to fly at night, why don't you go with my convoy?"

Liao Mingyu hugged Yu Xiaoqing's shoulders arrogantly, as if they were old friends who had a good relationship, and immediately stunned the people around him.

"Uh... that's fine, but I want to ask you for a favor." Yu Xiaoqing grinned awkwardly, and he couldn't accept Liao Mingyu's "intimate" behavior for a while.

"What's the matter?"

"Let's go first, we'll talk on the way."

Because of the urgency of the war, the battle plan for Tengchong was set for a week later, so the commanders from all walks of life basically began to return to the troops now, preparing for the next step of preparations.

The Kunming battalion must also move forward. With Wei Lihuang's character as a tiger general, the headquarters will never be too far from the front, which would be inconvenient for him to command and dispatch the troops.

Therefore, the new headquarters will be in Zenda. This small town, which has been confronted with the Japanese army for more than a year, will welcome a large number of troops to settle in again.

Liao Mingyu and the others were no exception. They set off overnight and returned to Longling. Calculating the time, they estimated that they would arrive in the morning of the next day.

"You just said you wanted my help. What's the matter?" Liao Mingyu asked casually while holding a cigarette while steering the steering wheel.

Ding Xiaoer almost vomited bile due to airsickness in the afternoon, and he was already a dead fish at the moment, so he was temporarily thrown into the back truck to rest.

"I would like to trouble you to see if I can provide some gas masks for my troops." Yu Xiaoqing sat on the co-pilot and replied a little embarrassed.

"What am I thinking, that's all? I'm sorry, I'll ask the people below to send you 800 sets when I get back."

Liao Mingyu agreed indifferently, he did not lack such things as gas masks, and the three main groups below had almost one of them, and they still had a lot of reserves.

In addition to carrying gas masks, the individual soldiers also have some neutralizers against poisonous gas. The little devil doesn't talk about martial arts, and he uses biochemical weapons like a fool. He is very clear about this, otherwise he would not equip the troops in large quantities.

Last time at Nantianmen, Master Yu suffered a great loss of troops due to the lack of such items. According to statistics after the war, more than 2400 people died, and more than 700 people's organs were injured to varying degrees. Even his Yu Dazhi, the head of the second regiment, also died under the attack of that wave of poison gas bombs.

"Then...thank you, and I won't let you help for nothing, I will pay the market price." Yu Xiaoqing breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said that she was not in vain.

Let's talk about this gas mask, but few troops in China can equip it on a large scale, and the reason is still because of poverty.

Although the national government also has its own production of this thing, the amount of distribution is pitifully small, and there are only a few direct elites who are relatively equipped. He can't do it if he wants to purchase it on a large scale. The key is that there is a price but no market.

"Look down on me, what's the money for this little thing?"

Liao Mingyu said proudly, there is no need to haggle over this little favor, after all, Yu Xiaoqing has also helped a lot during this time, so it is right to repay the favor.

"It's not right, as far as I know, that thing is not very easy to handle."

"What a big deal, don't be polite to me."

Since the Nantianmen counterattack started, especially after Tang Ji was dealt with, Yu Xiaoqing seemed to be a different person.

In many ways, they have also started to get on the road, and they are no longer as annoying as before, and the relationship between the two has gradually melted away from the initial tension.

It may be that he was repeatedly compared by Liao Mingyu, which made him slowly put away his proud heart, or it may be that he found his own new philosophy of life and forced himself to make some changes.

In the last battle against Longling, they lent dozens of trucks and logistics personnel without saying a word, and actively cooperated in the rear of the battle, using the strength of the whole division to guarantee Liao Mingyu's entire logistics transportation line.

At least for now, this guy is worthy of recognition in these places.

Yu Xiaoqing smiled slightly. It was strange to say that the few times since he entered into a relationship with Liao Mingyu and cooperated sincerely, it was more effective than when Tang Ji assisted him for a few years.

After the first Battle of Nantianmen, due to his outstanding military exploits, Yu Xiaoqing became the deputy commander of the 71st Army Major General, fulfilling his dream of being a general. From this time on, his life seemed to usher in spring.

Not long after the Longling back-offensive battle, he was ordered in the face of danger, and with difficulty picked up a deck of cards that Zhong Bin had beaten badly. When Nantianmen was about to fall, Liao Mingyu turned the tide and helped him tide over the difficulty again.

In the end, Liao Mingyu also obeyed Chengruo and reported his military achievements together, without any intention of greedy for his achievements, so that he was promoted again.

To say that the nobles help each other is nothing more than that, right?In a sense, this can be regarded as her lucky star, Yu Xiaoqing also finds it inconceivable when she thinks about it.

I have to admit that being a friend with Liao Mingyu is much more profitable than being an enemy, and this point is now firmly in his heart as the way to win.

"Ahem, Brother Liao is only 31 this year, right?"

"It's still two months away, what's the matter?" Liao Mingyu was a little confused by the nonsensical question.

"I heard that you don't seem to be married yet?" Yu Xiaoqing suddenly turned her head and looked at him thoughtfully.

Liao Mingyu raised his brows and secretly thought it was not good. He probably had some idea when he asked this question, and he couldn't allow him to think too much at this moment, and quickly replied: "Uh... so what, I have a wife in Chanda, even though he is not married, it is still a good idea." privately for life."

"Huh? Didn't you say that it was just a lover?" Yu Xiaoqing whispered.

What the hell?Liao Mingyu was startled, did this guy go to inquire about it?

"As the saying goes, it's the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. Even now, you have to register to witness the marriage. Yours doesn't count."

Yu Xiaoqing suddenly lectured with a serious face, and as soon as the words fell, she immediately expressed her real purpose: "I have a younger sister who is [-] years old, but she was born slim, Brother Liao might as well..."

"Cough...cough cough!" Liao Mingyu stared, and suddenly coughed violently: "cough cough...sorry, I was choked by the smoke."

Yu Xiaoqing didn't care about his abnormal behavior, and continued: "As the saying goes, a man stands at thirty. Although you are in the top of the officialdom, you have to think about it as soon as possible."

"Aren't you standing up too? You're already 35, and besides, I already have one." Liao Mingyu replied helplessly with a bitter face. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, this Yu Xiaoqing wanted to be his uncle, and even took the initiative to talk about it. media.

"I was aiming at making meritorious deeds. I will never start a family until the Japanese invaders are eradicated. You are different. At least you have some thoughts about this." Yu Xiaoqing rolled her eyes and said eloquently.

How the hell am I thinking? Liao Mingyu was almost speechless, and he made him sound like a co-author.

"Don't worry, man, I can understand it too. Which famous person doesn't have many concubines now? Yours can be used as dessert after dinner. This dinner can't be sloppy, my sister..."

Seeing that Liao Mingyu didn't speak, Yu Xiaoqing continued to "sell" his sister. The reason why she can say this with shame today is because of the former's endless potential.

Moreover, after hearing about his experience during this period, the family really felt that some ideological changes had to be made, and there was no lack of his father's help in this.

In fact, regarding Tang Ji's disappearance, Yu's father could more or less guess that it was Liao Mingyu who did it, but his hard power is obvious to all.

If the army commander said he would cut it down, he would be fine in the end. Who would dare to provoke such a person?
But if you think about it from another angle, they can fight wars and have a strong background. If they can tie up this dark horse, then their Yu family won't take off yet?

What is a Tang Ji, if he likes to send another Zhang Ji, Li Ji will not hesitate to cut him off, not to mention that he is going to give his daughter now.

If Tang Ji had any knowledge under the spring, he would have to come back to life with anger.

"Brother Liao? What do you think? How about I ask Sister She to come over some time and meet you?"

Seeing Yu Xiaoqing who has become a matchmaker, Liao Mingyu immediately felt a big headache, but he was too embarrassed to say no to this kind of thing, otherwise it would be very hurtful, so he could only delay the decision first after thinking about it.

"The war is imminent, how can we think about the love between these children, let's talk about it later, let's discuss this battle. What, do you have enough infantry artillery? Can't you transfer 10 guns?"

Liao Mingyu hurriedly changed the topic with a haha, it's good to be alone, he doesn't want to fall into the vortex of these families and become a hawk dog instigated by others...
