My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Historically, Sun Liren's army stationed in India was the first to complete the reorganization of fine weapons. Later, after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, more than 40 fine infantry divisions were reorganized on this basis.

Although these so-called artillerymen are far behind the real American army in terms of firepower, their artillery has been severely reduced, and they are not equipped with tanks, but compared with other domestic troops, they can be regarded as the elite among the elite.

Most of the troops transferred to western Yunnan were formerly in the hands of local armed forces of various warlords. Because the anti-Japanese resistance stood on the united front, Chiang Kai-shek's control over them was very limited.

Now compared with the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the national troops fought hard and many generals died on the battlefield, but Chiang Kai-shek's control has been improved.

The Japanese army had lost its advantage on the domestic battlefield and turned to defense. On the other hand, the Chinese army had successively won some small-scale battles. The situation of the national war of resistance gradually changed from passive stalemate to active counterattack.

But the reality is very helpless. Domestic newspapers have been promoting day after day, how many enemies have been eliminated today and how much lost ground will be recovered tomorrow. In fact, it does not have much impact on the entire war situation.

Because the Japanese turned to the defensive, they also gave up a lot of territory and avoided being disadvantaged by shrinking their defenses.

On the surface, it seemed that the Chinese army was unstoppable and the Japanese were retreating steadily. In fact, the losses of the little Japanese were not much.

A big boss once said that there is no point in bragging every day. There are more than one million Japs in China, and if you eliminate them one by one, this is the real thing.

How could Chiang Kai-shek not know the problems involved? This is the current domestic situation. The general direction depends on the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain. It is only a matter of time before the war ends.

The more than 200,000 troops gathered in western Yunnan were just the beginning. The bald head of state had a very clear plan.

After all, the Anti-Japanese War is not over yet. Although the troops stationed in India have been transferred back to the country, they did not send this precious pimple to the battlefield to fight the Japanese. Instead, they transferred many chaotic teams to western Yunnan to fight against the Americans. Make requests.

However, this also gave Liao Mingyu a hint of opportunity, and he immediately discussed with Fan Shaozeng and asked the latter to return to western Yunnan to operate secretly, just for the sake of those hundreds of thousands of troops.

Everyone knows that the Sichuan Army had more than three million people when it left Sichuan. Now it has suffered 690,000 casualties. Many of the remaining people have been scattered and mixed into other units. The Sichuan Army accounts for a very high proportion in the entire Chinese army.

More than half of the hundreds of thousands of people who came to western Yunnan were from the Sichuan Army, and many officers were once subordinates of Fan Shaozeng when he was in the 88th Army.

Although the designation of their unit is gone, the identity of the Sichuan people has not changed, and they can be regarded as a division that has fought for a long time. If they can be brought to Myanmar for armed reorganization, I believe their combat effectiveness will not be worse than Gao Xijiang's Fifty Division.

Asking Chiang Kai-shek for someone is definitely not feasible. He now wishes that Liao Mingyu would die in Burma. Even all the achievements and glory achieved by the latter in Burma have been deliberately ignored by him.

The merits of leading the expeditionary force in consecutive battles were also attributed to Fan Shaozeng, which also made him famous and was hailed as the hero of the expeditionary war.

Liao Mingyu has long been marginalized. Not only did he not mention his achievements in battle reports or propaganda newspapers, they also deliberately discredited his culpability as a warlord and betraying national interests.

Liao Mingyu didn't care about this, and even sneered at it. Those commendation orders and propaganda newspapers were all irritating. If they were to be of any use, real guns and live ammunition were the last word.

Wouldn't it be nice to quietly be the person behind the scenes? As for public opinion and misunderstanding... let it go. One hundred people have one hundred mouths, how can you control what others say? Whether it is true or false is left to future generations to evaluate.

Speaking of this cornering operation, Commander Fan has great confidence. People in Sichuan are said to be upright, and there is no reason to reject this former senior officer, who is also an anti-Japanese hero who has been in the limelight at home and abroad recently.

Moreover, the treatment of the expeditionary force is obvious to all. If you continue to stay in western Yunnan, you can only have two meager meals a day. When you go to Burma, you will be equipped with all American equipment. The salary is several times that of the current one. The firepower is more generous than that of the Americans. Food and drink. They are richer than Chiang Kai-shek's direct descendants, so a fool would not go.

Fan Shaozeng has successfully gained the support of several senior military officers there, and is now contacting other old troops to recruit as many people as possible.

As for the possible obstacles encountered by force, Liao Mingyu had already prepared for it. As the gateway between China and Myanmar, Nankan had long been built into an impenetrable fortress. It had been facing the national army on the other side of the Ruili River across the river, guarding each other.

The split 203rd Division of the New Army and the three newly formed infantry divisions are also moving to Nankan to step up the deployment of troops there.

This made Yu Xiaoqing, who led the 71st Army stationed in Ruili, feel even more pressure and did not dare to act rashly.

As the saying goes, as long as you can dance well with a hoe, there is no corner that cannot be dug. Now, He Yingqin is still nominally in charge of the Kunming Camp Headquarters, and Wei Lihuang has been demoted to deputy position.

However, this guy has been organizing the campaign in western Hunan since the beginning of April, and now he has no time to take care of the western Yunnan side.

And Wei Lihuang is about to be sent to the north for inspection. Long Yun, chairman of YN Province, seems to be expected to raise the banner again, but he is seriously neglected in the front, has insufficient control over the military, and is restricted by the Chongqing government in every aspect.

Today's Kunming camp has complicated factional relations and it is difficult to form a unified voice. The troops in western Yunnan are also a mixed bag. This also gives Fan Shaozeng, Commander Ha'er, an opportunity to muddy the waters.

Mangshi and Ruili in western Yunnan have now become large military stations, and some troops originally stationed in Baoshan, Dingshan and Chanda have gathered here.

这其中就有50军131师、21军133师、319师一部，104师753团144师328团等…几乎都是原川军部队，大概有七八万人，而且数量每天都在增加。

In fact, these teams did not receive any official orders and were all acting without authorization. To put it bluntly, it was Fan Shaozeng who encouraged him to go to Burma to join the expeditionary force.

Such a large battle will definitely make some people nervous. The 71st officers and soldiers responsible for regional defense immediately entered a state of alert and began to set up checkpoints to prevent these troops from continuing southward.

The superiors were horrified after learning about this incident, and hurriedly ordered the border troops to stop these troops who acted without authorization, and also sent special commissioners to resolve the matter.

The Chongqing government also sent a secret message to Yu Xiaoqing, saying that force could be used to suppress it if necessary, because this was already considered an extremely serious mutiny.

However, there were too many people on the other side, and even Yu Xiaoqing, who had a high self-esteem, did not dare to act rashly for fear of causing a large-scale fight.

Although the 71st Army is an elite force and has been equipped with many beautiful weapons, who would be willing to risk the disapproval of the world and point their guns at their own people, and their military strength is still several times that of our own.

Our Yu Dajun is now under a lot of pressure. He has to face the urging from Chongqing every day, and he also has to endure the signs and endless provocations from the troops who are ready to break through. He is afraid that if he does not do well, he will become a sinner for the ages. It can be said that he is getting angry from both sides. , not human inside or outside.
