My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 334

The arrival of Smith had to make Liao Mingyu suspend his plan to go to Wanding. He took the latter back to his camp to see what the old guy had to say.

"Liao, you and your army have really impressed me during this period of time. I dare say that no army in your country can surpass you. Hehe... These are the best Cuban cigars, try them?"

Knowing that Liao Mingyu likes to smoke, Smith took out a box of cigars from his briefcase, cut off the two ends and roasted the body of the tobacco with a match like an old friend.

Liao Mingyu was also polite. He lit the cigarette and took a deep breath. The strong, original tobacco aroma came to his nostrils without any chemical additives or spices. The mellow yeast aroma filled the mouth, making people feel refreshed.

As an old smoker, he was quickly captivated by the mellow taste of the cigars, and he did not forget to boast: "Well, the taste is great, you Americans really know how to enjoy it."

"Hehe, I'll give you this box of cigars if you like them. If you don't have enough, I'll have some more." Smith said indifferently, what do you want as a logistics worker?There are so many things that make people greedy.

Although Liao Mingyu was puzzled, he didn't refuse. If the market price of such high-end premium cigars cost less than a hundred oceans, he wouldn't be able to get them. He was just curious about where this guy learned these routines.

There is nothing to be courteous about, either adultery or robbery, Liao Mingyu stopped talking nonsense, and asked directly: "Okay, tell me, what do you want from me?"

"I heard that you have reached Nankan and are marching towards Lashio."

"Colonel Smith's news is very well-informed. Maybe we, Chief Wei, don't know as much as you do."

Smith smiled frankly. He has his own way to control the news, but now is not the time to talk about it: "Please forgive me, I have to remind you that it is very dangerous for your army to go directly west and then south."

"What's the danger?"

"Aren't you worried that the main force of the Japanese army in the north will attack you back and forth, and your troops who are alone and deep in the ground may repeat the same mistakes."

Smith's tone became a little blunt. What he was talking about was the incident in which the expeditionary force who entered Burma for the first time was cheated, and he didn't think Liao Mingyu would fail to see the hidden dangers in it.

"Isn't there you in the north? As far as I know, the Allied forces and the troops stationed in India should launch an attack on the Japanese in northern Myanmar at the end of the month, right?" Liao Mingyu said to himself, exhaling smoke.

Smith was startled, how did he know?
The reason why Liao Mingyu dared to go directly to Burma to rescue the self-rescue army was also due to the special date of October 43.

Because in the original history, it was on October 10 that the troops stationed in India launched a full-scale counterattack against the Burmese and Japanese troops.

Because of the triumphant progress of the Honorary Third Division, the situation is now more favorable for India. The British and Yankees can't wait to go back to Burma and take their colonies back.

The two divisions of the Indian Army headed by Sun Liren have basically completed the reorganization and training in Ramgarh. They also want to counterattack Burma as soon as possible so that they can return home as soon as possible.

So Liao Mingyu didn't worry about the large number of Japanese troops in the north at all, and left those difficult bones to Stilwell and the others. Anyway, he also helped destroy the 18th Division.

"Hehe... It seems that your news is called Lingtong."

Smith smiled awkwardly. He didn't expect that he would know all the expected plans that had not been notified in India, but since it has been revealed, there is nothing to hide. He glanced at Dong Dao next to him, and sent out a look like Liao Mingyu with his eyes. ask.

"There is no outsider here, so just say it."

"All right, since you are so persistent." Smith sorted out his thoughts and continued:
"The garrison in India was originally planned to advance from Tangjiaka and Karaka to the Hugang Valley on the 24th of this month and officially launch a full-scale counterattack. Since your third division is in a very favorable position, General Stilwell hopes that you can lead the troops to attack Myitkyina, and the troops stationed in India formed a joint north-south offensive, so that the Japanese in northern Myanmar can be wiped out as quickly as possible."

It turned out that he wanted him to share the firepower. Liao Mingyu chuckled and answered the wrong question: "Does Colonel Smith remember that you still owe me something?"

"What?" Smith was a little confused, when did he owe you something.

"The batch of supplies that you promised me at the beginning... It seems that you ran away before you finished it?" Liao Mingyu shook the soot, his expression gradually indifferent.

This old fox is really not a thing. The supplies promised when he attacked the Nantianmen were divided into five or six batches because of the huge quantity, and a batch was sent every week.

But who knew that the Sichuan army fought too fast, and when the Nantianmen was captured, there were still two batches of supplies that hadn't been delivered. As a result, Smith pretended not to know, and disappeared without asking.

If something hadn't happened during that time, Liao Mingyu really wanted to talk to him, but now this old guy has the face to come over and make a request.

"Hehe, Liao, please don't get me wrong. The situation was special at the time, and I didn't deliberately shirk it. How about it... If you can send troops to Myitkyina, we will provide another batch of supplies like last time, and pay in one lump sum."

Smith didn't care about the unhappiness last time. The nature of a businessman made him feel that as long as he had enough chips, there would be nothing he couldn't agree on.

Liao Mingyu sneered again and again, and immediately asked back: "Shouldn't we go to our Chief Wei for such a matter?"

"Your commander-in-chief is busy dealing with the 56th Division now, but you can't take care of this side. With all due respect, their offensive efficiency is too low. I don't think they can't win Tengchong within one to two months." Smith shrugged expressed helplessness.

To be honest, he didn't look down on those people at all. Except for Liao Mingyu's troops in the entire expeditionary army, they were not worth investing in.

"Then this matter is troublesome. The attack on Nankan and Lashio was approved by the chief of the guard, but going north to attack Myitkyina... without the order of the chief, how can I mobilize troops to act without authorization?"

Liao Mingyu said that he is a good baby, and he would never do anything out of line without orders.

Don't you fucking disobey military orders?Which time did not act in its own way without authorization?Your name, Liao Mingyu, has spread throughout the circle. Well, Smith held back his anger and almost spit out a word that starts with F.

"120 million rounds of ammunition, 10 shells of various calibers, plus 100 new US military standard firearms, and 60 [-]mm mortars, what do you think? Besides, you have done a lot of things like this before."

Smith directly showed his chips and stared straight at Liao Mingyu, expecting to get the answer he wanted from the latter.

"In the past, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary army was not the chief of the guard. Besides, I have to consider my own reputation." Liao Mingyu showed embarrassment, and played the trick of trying to get him.

"You still care about these?" Smith was surprised.

Unexpectedly, Liao Mingyu's eyes lit up and he showed a fox-like smile: "No, no, no, Smith, you misunderstood. Now that Chief Wei trusts me so much, how can I make it difficult for him? So...you need to pay more!"
