My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 448
June...The fighting on the Lashio battlefield was basically subsided, and the entire battle finally ended with the Japanese army fully withdrawing to the central area of ​​Mandalay.

The Northern Wa State area is basically controlled by the 88th Army. In order to avoid greater losses, the Japanese can only transfer the remaining three dissatisfied divisions to Mandalay and Taunggyi to ensure the defense of the important city Mandalay .

Matsumoto Tomokawa, the commander of the central defense zone in Myanmar, was dismissed and sent back to the base camp, and was replaced by Lieutenant General Fufumi Yamashita.Terauchi Shou put many problems on the former, such as poor command and poor reinforcements, and it was clear that he was regarded as a scapegoat.

Although the [-]th and [-]th divisions from Siam were still moving to central Myanmar, the Japanese army had begun to fully shrink its forces and completely gave up the idea of ​​going north to counterattack.

Regarding this point, Yamashita Fufumi didn't take it seriously. He really wanted to make some achievements in Burma, and only a military victory could have more say. Therefore, even though the temple strongly demanded a solid defense, he was thinking about how to counterattack the Chinese.

……

"Little nun~ Nian Fang is twenty-eight... Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang Qiang Qi..."

In Nankan City, in the headquarters of the 88th Army, Fan Shaozeng was sitting comfortably in his office drinking tea, while humming a little song leisurely with a fan.

"Master, can you take a look at the telegram sent by the Military and Political Department just now?"

Adjutant Fan Bao walked in with the telegram, and before speaking, he did not forget to look back, and saw no one locked the door tightly.

"Tsk... oops... Fan Bao, I told you many times that at the head of the barracks, you have to call the commander or the commander, and the turtle son is not in shape at all!" Fan Shaozeng sipped his tea and reprimanded him pretending to be serious.

"Yes, young master... The military seat has taught you well, the military and political department..."

"What's the matter? Hesitating." Fan Shaozeng grabbed the telegram and read it impatiently.

The content of the telegram was not much, but every word and every sentence made people feel terrified. Rao Fan Shaozeng, who has always been calm, broke out in a cold sweat involuntarily.

"He Yingqin, an asshole, thinks highly of me too!"

In view of the fact that the Lashio crisis has been resolved, China’s high-level officials have also made plans. The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs is preparing to withdraw the 88th Army from Myanmar and return to Kunming for reorganization. The vacancies in northern Myanmar will be replaced by the 72nd Army and the Second Army.

Like the troops stationed in India, these U.S. military units are the darlings of Chiang Kai-shek. Although this order has not been officially approved by the head of state, the reorganization plan of the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has included the 88th Army in the priority list.

At this time, He Yingqin took up the post of Army Commander-in-Chief of the Huaxia Theater in Kunming, and was responsible for the operations, command and training of troops in all theaters in the Southwest, as well as guiding party and government affairs in Guizhou Province.

So now the expeditionary forces returning to China are basically under his control, and it is reasonable to say that the same is true for the 88th Army.

This shady military boss had set his sights on Liao Mingyu's troops early on. Although he was not easy on the surface, he was very handy at making obstacles behind him.

Having been in the military and political circles for so many years, how could He Yingqin fail to see Liao Mingyu's plan not to return to China, he just didn't know the latter's real purpose, and thought that the other party just wanted to hide from his enemy.

No matter what, He Yingqin decided to act first. He knew very well how much the head of state and Chen Cheng liked Liao Mingyu. Although the latter could not be killed now, it was still possible to find a way to disarm the army in his hands.

So there was this secret telegram sent to Fan Shaozeng. Before Fan came, he was specially instructed by the head of state to go to the 88th Army.

However, Fan Shaozeng, who had other plans, didn't take it seriously at all. After arriving in Myanmar, he began to let himself go. Fan Bao never cared about the radio station.

He Yingqin's message in the telegram was very simple. The 88th Army will be dispatched in the near future. At that time, he wants Fan Shaozeng to cooperate with the Kunming Garrison Command and actively participate in the troop call-back.

What's more... If Liao Mingyu was acting as a hindrance and was unwilling to bring the troops back to the country, he would be forcibly removed from his military power and put under house arrest. After the dust settled, he would be charged with perverse behavior and refusing to obey the orders of his superiors.

In the end, He Yingqin revealed cryptically that the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs decided to create a new group army based on the 88th Army and the Fifth Army. After the event is completed, it will definitely speak well in front of the head of state. The meaning is self-evident...

"Junzuo, what do you think we should do?" Fan Bao looked at Fan Shaozeng expectantly.

"What should I do? Cold salad!"

Fan Shaozeng slapped the telegram on the table, knocking over the teacup next to it with great force, spilling tea everywhere.

Seeing this, Fan Bao hurriedly picked up a rag and went up to tidy it up, while he was still uncertain about the wind: "Military seat, the benefits promised by Mr. He are not low, I think..."

Fan Shaozeng was so angry that he kicked Fan Bao's thigh and cursed: "You think it's a hammer! Didn't he, He Yingqin, just want Lao Tzu to be his thug? Do you believe this kind of empty promise? Your mother I'm afraid it's a pig's head if you slap it!"

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)" Fan Bao was so frightened that he hurriedly persuaded him.

Fan Shaozeng, who was hot-tempered and upright, didn't care so much, as if a volcano had found a vent, he continued to curse: "Shhh a hammer! Haven't you been punished by these bastards before? Isn't it true that I can get to this point?" Thanks to that Granny He, and now I want Lao Tzu to be his spearhead, what a ghost!"

"Oh...young master, didn't I think about you? You said that although you are comfortable here in Myanmar, you still feel that you are dependent on others. Do you think which unit of the 88th Army can listen to you? Alas... I think we were in Myanmar at the beginning. In Sichuan..." Fan Bao lowered his head, his face full of grievances and he had nothing to say.

Seeing him like this, Fan Shaozeng was too embarrassed to scold him anymore. After all, the other party had a good intention, but he couldn't see the essence of the matter clearly.

"You don't need to talk about these things, I still don't know? Forget it, I can't explain it clearly to your son, hum... give me the lighter."

Fan Shaozeng reached out to take the lighter, lit the telegram slowly, and threw it into the ashtray.

Seeing the paper being gradually engulfed by the flames, both of them fell into deep thought. After a long time, Fan Shaozeng said leisurely: "The present life is only temporary. Liao Mingyu is not an easy person. You have a higher vision."

"Besides, I'm almost begging him for help. What kind of trouble is it at a time like this? Brother Pao, we can't be lazy when we come back!"

Don't look at Fan Shaozeng as a brainless brat with a fat head and big ears, but he has a face like a pig, and his heart is loud, and he has already figured out which is more important.

He has long seen Liao Mingyu's ambitions, and he also feels that sooner or later this person will be a flying dragon in the sky, and he will definitely not be able to be suppressed by the gang of scheming idiots in the country. One hand, no matter how bad the ending is, how bad can it be?

"Report to the Army Commander! Lieutenant Liao just got off the plane. Please meet me at the airport now, saying that there is something important to discuss."

At this moment, a report from the guard came from outside the door. Fan Shaozeng and Fan Bao looked at each other, and they really said that Cao Cao had arrived.

"Prepare the car and go to the airport with me!"
