My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 425
At this moment, everyone's eyes in the conference room were on this young officer, mixed with curiosity, doubt, and even jealousy, but no one expected that he would be the first to stand up and refute Officer Chen.

Although Liao Mingyu was already in his thirties this year, compared with most of the military officers who had passed their forties or even fifty years ago, he was indeed considered a younger generation.

"Oh? Are you Liao Mingyu?"

Chen Cheng was not angry because his words were interrupted, but asked curiously.

"Yes, sir!"

"I have been paying attention to the battle reports in western Yunnan and Burma. The heroic performance of you and your subordinates has even been praised by the Yuan capital. It is really a blessing for our party and a pride for our nation." Chen Cheng praised.

Liao Mingyu stood straight and straight, and said modestly: "Sir, Miao praised, how can He De deserve such a title, all the victories are the result of the joint efforts of all the seniors here..."

Good boy, you are not proud of taking credit, and you must be proud of others. It is really commendable, and it is not in vain that I have spoken well for you in front of the head of state so many times. Chen Cheng smiled even more, and he has great plans to pull Liao Mingyu into his faction.

"You're welcome, your contribution is obvious to all, but what is the urgent matter you just mentioned?"

Liao Mingyu glanced at Sun Liren, straightened his thoughts a bit, and said calmly: "Our troops have been defending the Lashio area of ​​Myanmar, and we did detect signs of Japanese troops moving here two days ago. According to the information obtained, the Japanese army is likely to launch a counterattack against northern Myanmar.”

Chen Cheng touched his chin and fell into deep thought. Everyone here is not mediocre, and can quickly analyze the probability and consequences of this matter, but most of them have never been to northern Myanmar, and do not know the specific situation. It is hard to believe that Japan People can react so quickly.

"The little devils just lost five divisions in Myitkyina. Could it be that they are capable of counterattacking so soon? Boy, you are too alarmist." Before Chen Cheng could speak, a questioning voice came from beside him.

Liao Mingyu took a closer look, and it was none other than Huo Kuizhang of the [-]th Army who spoke.

"First of all, northern Myanmar is very important to us in China, and the same is true for the Japanese."

Liao Mingyu walked to the front of the map expressionlessly, and while introducing the situation in northern Myanmar, he explained the problems to everyone:
"At present, the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway and the India-Myanmar Branch Line are being rebuilt. It is only a matter of time before the opening to traffic. The Japanese know very well that if this life transportation line cannot be curbed, our Chinese military strength will only become stronger as time goes by. It was very detrimental to the Japanese army on the domestic battlefield."

"Once we withdraw from Myanmar, they are likely to take this opportunity to make a comeback. At that time, all these efforts will be in vain, and they will even threaten the western Yunnan region again."

In fact, Liao Mingyu was not alarmist. Originally, the Japanese army mobilized too many troops to deal with the U.S. forces in the Pacific, which led to the gradual reduction of military power in China and Southeast Asia. Moreover, due to the decline in national strength and the overall decline in the quality of soldiers, their combat effectiveness also began to decline. After the expeditionary force took northern Myanmar, they had no ability to launch a counterattack.

But now the Japanese army's military power in Southeast Asia has not been completely wiped out by the Pacific battlefield. They still have considerable troops deployed in central Burma and the Malay Islands. It is not impossible to counterattack if they really want to.

But it's too late to say anything now, in order not to let the overall situation get out of control, and also for the future retreat of myself and my brothers, I can't say anything about being transferred back to the country.

Who knows what the Chongqing guy did?As long as you go back, you definitely don't want to stay in the original army. Are there still few examples of being pulled from the bottom by him?Liao Mingyu would not commit such a foolishness.

"This is all your speculation. Maybe the Japanese are just afraid that we will continue to go south and mislead us by bluffing? I still don't believe it. Only tens of thousands of people were wiped out. How can those bastards have the ability to launch a counterattack?"

Huo Kuizhang leaned back on the chair carelessly, his tone was full of doubt and disdain, and he didn't take the other party's words seriously at all.

"You just underestimate the determination and perseverance of the Japanese." Liao Mingyu responded calmly with a blank face. He felt that it would be a waste to say a word to such a person who is not so clear-headed.

"Then according to what you said... instead of withdrawing our troops, we will continue to send people to Myanmar? Huh! It's simply alarmist!" Huo Kuizhang continued to confront each other, his cynicism full of hostility.

It's not that he can't understand the stakes, it's just that he can't get used to it. Who told someone to make him look bad last time.

"Isn't Chief Huo paying attention to the enemy's dynamics? The Japanese still have at least five to seven divisions in Burma, and there are several divisions in Siam nearby. I think anyone who is a smart person should understand the reason. .” Liao Mingyu spread his hands, and stabbed back with something in his words.

"A bullshit deputy dares to show off in front of our commander, right?!" Before Huo Kuizhang could speak, a major general next to him jumped out to cheer for their commander.

"Face is not given by others, it is earned by oneself. I am afraid that only useless trash needs to be given face by others." Liao Mingyu sneered and turned back unceremoniously.

I didn't want to cause trouble at first, but I can't blame him unless someone who doesn't know what to do is scolding him.

"Scream your housewife!"

Huo Kuizhang was so angry that he even uttered the words of his hometown, and was ridiculed in public by a younger generation. Where would he save his face?

"Fatty Huo, are you afraid that you took the wrong medicine? What do you call nothing?"

Song Xilian, who was sitting not far away, was not happy anymore. After all, Liao Mingyu was considered his subordinate in name, so you can scold him casually?Treating Lao Tzu as a display?
"May this kid scold me, don't let me get angry?! Song Xilian, isn't that how you protect the calf?"

"Hehe, it took nearly three months for a group of more than 8 people to attack Tengchong, what is it if it's not waste?" Song Xilian smiled slightly and sneered casually.

"You fucking…"

"enough!"

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the conference room was getting heavier, Chen Cheng jumped up and shouted loudly.

His icy eyes slashed on everyone's face like a knife's edge, and the aura of a superior quickly permeated the entire room.

Seeing that their old chief was angry, Huo Kuizhang and Song Xilian didn't dare to make a mistake, they snorted coldly and turned their heads away.

"Well, Mr. Minister, the current crisis we are facing has not been resolved. If your Huaxia side insists on withdrawing troops, then you will have to bear the consequences of this wrong decision! Is...is this what your head of state expected?"

At this moment, Stilwell suddenly interrupted, like a heavy hammer that exploded in Chen Cheng's heart.

Let’s not talk about future problems. From the present point of view, once the Lashio area falls, the Japanese may indeed make a comeback and threaten the southern section of the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the branch line of the Myanmar-India Highway. At that time, northern Myanmar will become a stalemate again. , it is even more impossible to withdraw the troops...
