Shadow Spy

Chapter 390 A new round of planning begins

Early on the morning of March 3, just as it was getting dark, Dai Anlan led the guards outside the courtyard of the U.S. military simple camp. Two Chinese soldiers wearing U.S. military uniforms checked their IDs and invited them in.

After entering the door, he looked at the seven large armored vehicles and the military tents in the courtyard, and was very surprised and emotional.

At this time, another Chinese officer came over and said: "It's an honor to meet General Dai. General Pan Sen is waiting for you!" While speaking, he invited others with one hand and made a gesture of rejection with the other hand.

Dai Anlan turned to his guards and said, "You stay, I'll go in by myself." He had already known that General Pan Sen spoke Chinese very well and had many Chinese people around him, so he was not worried about not being able to Communication issues.

In front of the command tent in the middle of the camp, Li Junhao greeted General Dai Anlan at the door. After both parties greeted him, they invited him in.This is the first meeting between 38-year-old Dai Anlan and 27-year-old General Pan Sen!
The two stayed in the tent for more than an hour. No one knew what they talked about, but Dai Anlan looked extremely serious when he left. He remained silent until he returned to his division headquarters, making everyone suspicious.

At 10 a.m., Li Junhao met with the visiting Lieutenant General Slim, commander of the 1st Division of the British-Burmese Army, in the camp.

Slim was very polite to him as an American observer. He first conveyed his gratitude to Major General Yuen, the commander of the 17th Division of the British and Indian Army, and then extended an invitation to him on behalf of the Commander of the British and Burmese Army, Hutton, hoping that the observer could come to Yan'an Qiang. meet.

In this regard, Li Junhao said very politely that the previous meeting in Degong was just a coincidence. The victory of Degong was achieved through the fighting of the officers and soldiers of the 17th Division...

At the same time, he also expressed his appreciation for the courage and record of the 1st Division in holding on to Tonggu;
As for Commander Hutton's invitation, he said he would consider it carefully; and told Slim that he had previously received invitations from General Stilwell and General Du Yuming to meet him in Lashio, conveyed by General Dai Anlan of the Expeditionary Force. consider.

The first meeting between the two parties was in a very harmonious atmosphere.

An hour later, Slim stood up to say goodbye, and specially invited Li Junhao to move the station to the West City, saying that a new station had been prepared for the observer team.

In response, Li Junhao refused with a smile.

After seeing off Slim and his party, five college students came to ask Li Junhao for instructions, hoping to visit the Chinese Expeditionary Force. They were eager to see the army of the motherland.

Of course, Li Junhao agreed to this, but asked them to pay attention to their words and deeds, read more and talk less, and call them back for help immediately if they encounter trouble.For this reason, Xiaohu was asked to get them a personal infantry phone and teach them how to use it.

This novel gadget surprised the college students, and they were very enthusiastic about learning. From time to time, they heard exclamations of surprise.

Officers and soldiers of the 200th Division discovered that five young men and women wearing American military uniforms had entered the camp and immediately reported it to the division headquarters. Dai Anlan asked Huang Xiang, the director of the Recruit Training Department who knew English, to rush over to accompany him, although he did not know that these observers were coming. What to do, but thinking about showing the best face of the Chinese military.When Huang Xiang rushed to the 599th Regiment with a few guards, he was surprised to find that five members of the observation team were chatting animatedly with the officers and soldiers, and the two sides even exchanged weapons for trial use.

The five college students had just come into contact with American weapons, and all they had with them were pistols and submachine guns.

The weapons used by the officers and soldiers of the 200 Division are IWC. The 599th Regiment is the main force. The soldiers' weapons are mainly German-made Kar.98K rifles. The grassroots officers are equipped with German-made MP18, MP28, MP34 (Austria) submachine guns, light The machine gun is the Czech ZB-26, the heavy machine gun is the German Maxim, and the anti-tank company is equipped with the German Pak35 37mm anti-tank gun, which is already the highest equipment for domestic troops.

The weapons and equipment of the expeditionary force were very crude in the eyes of the five college students, because they had seen the preparation of British troops before, not to mention the advanced weapons in the hands of the officers and attachés.Not to mention anything else, the Thompson M1928A2 submachine guns, M1 Garand rifles, M1911A1 pistols, and Browning M1910 pistols they carry now are much more advanced than the expeditionary force in terms of sophistication and firepower density.

In fact, there was no need for orders from the division headquarters. The officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force were very enthusiastic about the five college students. In this foreign country, they felt a natural sense of intimacy when they saw the Chinese, especially there were three young and beautiful beauties among them; as for No one paid much attention to the American military uniforms they were wearing. On the one hand, they knew that the United States was now an ally, and on the other hand, they had seen the British soldiers with their noses raised to their foreheads before. In contrast, the American military uniforms were more pleasing to the eye.

After getting off the bus, Colonel Huang Xiang walked directly into the circle of officers and soldiers of the 599th Regiment. He greeted the five college students warmly and politely, and asked the question in his mind: As attachés of observers, what business do they have in coming to the expeditionary force?
Hearing what Director Huang said, the surrounding officers and soldiers of the 599th Regiment were a little confused. They had never thought about this problem at all!
The five college students laughed out loud. The leader, Shui Jingyun, majored in international politics. Thinking of what the other party was worried about, she said: "Director Huang, a few of us are here just to meet the students from the motherland." Expeditionary officers and soldiers! Because we were all studying at the University of Singapore before, it has been too long since we have seen our relatives in the motherland. When we had the opportunity this time, we couldn't help but come over. We had no other purpose."

Hearing this, Huang Xiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although he still couldn't believe it completely, most of the doubts in his heart had gone away, so he said: "In that case, how about I accompany a few of you to visit?"

At this time, Colonel Liu Shaohua, the leader of the 599th Regiment, rushed over. Hearing this, he said unhappily: "Well, old Huang, a few students are willing to come to our group to visit. We will definitely take care of them and you don't have to worry about them. Students , the situation of several other groups is similar to ours, it doesn’t matter whether you look at it or not.”

Huang Xiang stared at him speechlessly and could only say: "Dear students, this is Liu Shaohua, the leader of the 599th Regiment."

"Hello, Captain Liu!" The five people saluted immediately.In order to facilitate future actions, Li Junhao gave all five of them the rank of second lieutenant of the U.S. Army (a small golden strip made of metal on the collar). After this period of military training, the American military salutes of several of them are still standard.

"Hello, you guys!" Liu Shaohua returned the greeting immediately. He really didn't dare to underestimate these young people - not only were they attached to the American observers, but they were also college students!

Seeing the appearance of the two colonels, the lower-level officers and soldiers became cautious. The outgoing Xiao Xiaomin couldn't help but said: "Captain Liu, Director Huang, your arrival has destroyed the lively atmosphere we had just now!"
