My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 553
"Oh, yes, it's time to go..." Liao Mingyu was at a loss for words for a while, and started hahaha in embarrassment, but it turned out that he was the one who didn't do his job properly.

The brothers on the front line have only gone through several bloody battles, and it’s the time of the Chinese New Year. The commander should personally come forward to boost their morale, express condolences and concern

It stands to reason that these things should be done by myself, but I have been busy with logistics supplies during this time, so I completely forgot about this matter.

"Cough...By the way, Junzuo, there are two things I haven't had time to report to you."

The smart and tactful Meng couldn't see the embarrassment of the other party when he got annoyed, so he hurriedly changed the topic, and by the way, he also turned over an article about this matter of himself:
"The construction of the route from Lashio to the Heihe base area has already started, and the labor is relatively sufficient...

Also, the list of supplementary personnel you asked me to count has been verified. There are about 3 people in that batch of troops who can enter the army, and people from the rear have been arranged to set up training camps in Nankan and Myitkyina. "

Liao Mingyu blurted out in surprise: "Damn! Only 3 people after a long time?"

"Yeah, it's not that you don't know what that team is like. This is the number of people who have relaxed the requirements. Otherwise, it would be enough to make up [-]... and some of them have to go to the hospital for treatment. Too many injured too much."

Meng troubled to narrate the facts, this matter itself is a hard job.

"Forget it, let's do it like this, but the training of recruits must keep up. Anyway, I will give you enough weapons and ammunition, but you must not give me eye drops, do you hear me?" Liao Mingyu said helplessly.

"Don't worry, it's all according to your wishes. Everyone has to complete three months of military training before they can leave the company. As for the others...?" Meng Fanle looked at the other party questioningly.

"The rest of those who are in good health will be incorporated into the logistics force, and those who are really not good will be arranged to participate in local construction in the base area. There are also those child soldiers who must not be left alone. The school in our base area is about to be completed, and we must pay close attention to education. .”

Liao Mingyu frowned, pinched the base of his nose, and felt tired.

It is true that the army is not able to manage the local area. It seems that the regional government still has to seize the time to form it.

In the past period of time, he has not been busy in vain. In addition to asking Stilwell for food and drink, he also asked the other party to help start a "human trafficking"

After the two battles of Ren'an Qiang and Siam Chiang Mai, the troops have entered a period of rest and reorganization, and they have been relatively calm in recent days. The 88 infantry divisions and 3 directly subordinate brigades of the 2th Army are in full swing for combat preparations and supplies. training run-in.

The source of soldiers has always been a knife stuck in Liao Mingyu's neck.The battle continued, and personnel losses were inevitable. However, except for some veterans and civilians recruited in the concentration camp some time ago, the 88th Army had almost zero additional troops.

The domestic government has now determined that the 88th Army is an uncontrollable rebel force, and someone is regarded as a new type of warlord.

If it wasn't for the U.S. military's need for a Chinese army to continue in Southeast Asia, and for the sake of international aid, it temporarily tolerated the existence of the 88th Army.
Just want money, food and people?Sorry...not a dime!The so-called Expeditionary Force is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Huaxia Anti-Japanese War Zone, and because the domestic war is becoming more and more serious, it is absolutely impossible to provide them with any supplements.

So Liao Mingyu had no choice but to ask Stilwell to make a request to the Chongqing government, asking him, in the name of the commander of the Southeast Asia theater, to ask Chiang to send some more soldiers to Burma in order to deal with the war damage on the front line.

There are still 72 and 65 armies left on the border in western Yunnan, but Lao Jiang is naturally unwilling to send people to the wolf den, that is, meat buns beat dogs, and there will be no return.

I think he originally sent Fan Shaozeng over to play against each other, but in the end he helped Liao Mingyu, let them get along with each other and coerced one of the [-]th Division into running away.

It's just...even the bald head of state who calls the wind and rain in the country has to bow down for Doumi. After all, his "American master" has given too much, and he can't bear the constant pressure from there, so he finally agreed.

In order to meet the demands of the Americans and not want to appear stingy in front of the other side, at the end of the year, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs mobilized a group of more than [-] troops from various theaters in the south, and sent them to Myanmar after they were assembled in Kunming.

But the shrewd old Jiang still kept his eyes open. The elite troops didn't even think about it. They only sent over those miscellaneous brands that no one would look up to, including the 27th and 28th Army Groups that were disabled in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. Part of it, as well as the remnants of various troops and some security regiments who lost their numbers and were resting in places.

Liao Mingyu was stunned when these people came to Mandalay. In the so-called supplementary source of soldiers... veteran soldiers aged 50 to [-] years old, and child soldiers as young as [-] or [-] years old were caught. About [-]% of them have injuries, and most of them are remnants and defeated generals with little combat effectiveness.

Moreover, with a team of 7 people, less than [-]% of them are armed with guns. The only thing they can take out is their tattered military uniforms. What's more annoying is that so many people don't even have a group of decent officers. The highest rank is actually the major battalion commander who is blind in one eye.

Rather than saying that they are soldiers, it is better to say that these people should not be burdensome to the various troops. It took a lot of effort to deal with them, but now they are all right, and they are packed and thrown to Liao Mingyu. The military expenditures that come out can be used elsewhere, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. It is estimated that Lao Jiang will have to wake up from his dream at this time.

Fortunately, after screening, there are still about [-] people who can meet the requirements of ordinary soldiers. Although they are a little weaker now, and they have no energy, their overall quality is much worse than that of soldiers in normal troops, but at least these external reasons Everything can be changed.

It can be said that they are similar to the group of defeated soldiers who lost their souls in Chanda in Western Yunnan. It is not easy for them to cheer up and change themselves.

However, Liao Mingyu is very experienced in this point. No one is born a qualified soldier, and only after continuous training and tempering can he radiate fighting spirit.In addition to training, work hard on treatment and ideological guidance, so that they can regain their confidence.

With these more than 3 people, the battle losses among the various units can be replenished in time, and several new teams can be formed outside the main force.

As for the remaining tens of thousands of people, they are all too old or too young, suffering from diseases or serious disabilities. Due to their own reasons, they have no way to enter the battlefield to fight, even if they are forced to take up weapons The material used as cannon fodder is not good for the various departments of the 88th Army who are now taking the elite path.

Most of the eliminated people will be incorporated into the logistics non-combatants, and if the conditions are really not good, they will be transferred to local construction, and there will always be opportunities to shine.

Two hours after the two of them discussed many trivial matters, Meng Fan made two cups of tea and brought them to Liao Mingyu. Looking at the steaming cup of noodles, he couldn't help sighing:

"Junzuo, after this year, it will be the 33rd year of the Republic of China, and we have been in Myanmar for almost two years. Alas... I don't know how long this battle will last."

Liao Mingyu picked up his cup and took a sip, looked at the huge Southeast Asian combat map on the wall, and said with a meaningful smile: "Hehe...it's coming soon, the little devil can't hold on for too long."

"After the war is over, I want to take my parents back to Peiping to see if the ancestral house in my hometown is still there..."

Meng Fanlai stood in front of the window and looked towards the north. He seemed to recall the scene of being disobedient and making mistakes when he was a child, being reprimanded by his father with a ruler at home, and those useless "technical inventions" that his father piled up in the yard

"At that time, your old man will not let you recite all his thousands of scriptures from Heihe to Beiping." Liao Mingyu joked with a smile.

"Well... then don't go back."

Meng Fan shrank his neck, thinking back to his father's collection of books that a dozen people could not finish by heart, he was afraid for a while, if he really got all of them in Peiping, he would not be exhausted to death.

"Report to Junzuo! Chief Yu of the Ministry of Intelligence asks to see you."

Just when the two of them were chatting away, the guard outside the door suddenly shouted...
