Chapter 149 Reasons? How can there be so many reasons! (Second update!)

In Myitkyina, Zhang Lixian, who had been handling affairs for three consecutive days, stood up to stretch his muscles and move around.

Before this, he only had a general understanding of the Sichuan Army.

It mainly remains in writing.

What a great battle record, fully equipped with American weapons.

It was not until I read so many documents that I realized that the Sichuan Army was much more powerful than it appeared on paper.

The entire regiment has nearly 7,000 people, and this is just on paper.

It is said that there are some things that are not on paper, such as support teams, guerrillas, etc.

Maybe more than 10,000 or 20,000.

However, these are all core secrets. For a newly-joined officer like him, it is already a great honor for him to know so much about them.

"Sir, Staff Officer Lin Yi asks you to go to the headquarters." At this time, a soldier walked in and said.

"Okay." Zhang Lixian nodded and followed the other party to the command center.

This was originally Cun Yunsheng's headquarters and bedroom.

That's right, when he was in Myitkyina, he was either patrolling the battalions and companies, or staying at the command center, guessing at the map all day long.

I also sleep at the headquarters at night.

But now it has become Lin Yi's command center.

"Staff Officer Lin." Zhang Lixian saw Lin Yi and stood at attention and saluted.

Although the two people have the same military rank, their positions are different.

"You're welcome. How is it? Those documents shouldn't be difficult for you, right?" Lin Yi said with a smile.

He still has a good impression of this junior.

Little did they know that in the original novel, these junior students were only slightly respectful when they were recruiting soldiers, but when they heard that they had never fought in a war, they couldn't help but look down on him. However, in the end, they still admired Lin's translation.

Because Lin Yi has become another Long Wen Zhang.

"No, I didn't expect the Sichuan Army to be so strong. It's not just a regiment, it's more powerful than a division." Zhang Lixian said with emotion.

Hearing this, Lin Yi smiled but said nothing, as some secrets could not be told.

He couldn't tell even his junior.

He still has a good understanding of this point.

"Staff Officer Lin, is there anything you want to talk to me about?" After Zhang Lixian finished expressing his feelings, he looked at Lin Yi and asked in confusion.

"The commander just sent me a telegram asking what you think?" Lin Yi smiled and handed over the telegram he had just received.

With doubts, Zhang Lixian opened the telegram.

In addition to the normal inquiries, the above also includes arrangements for Zhang Lixian.

One is to stay in the regiment headquarters as a combat staff officer.

Seeing this, Zhang Lixian looked at Lin Yi in surprise. Letting him serve as the combat staff officer meant that Lin Yi must be the chief of staff.

After all, his military capabilities continued to improve during this period, and gradually gained recognition from most members of the Sichuan Army.

It is not impossible to serve as a combat staff officer.

However, Zhang Lixian still yearned for the battlefield, so he patiently continued watching.

The second option is to serve as the commander of the newly formed Sixth Battalion.

At the same time, they rushed to the airport and boarded an American transport plane to Hsipaw to participate in the battle in Lashio.

Seeing this, Zhang Lixian's heart was pounding.

Participate in the battle against Lashio. Is the Sichuan Army going to take action against Lashio?

The reason why the expeditionary force suffered a disastrous defeat was because Lashio was occupied by the Japanese army.

Now that the Sichuan Army is about to recapture Lashio, this is a great opportunity to avenge the previous humiliation.

Just thinking about how I have just joined and am being valued so highly is refreshing.

For a moment, Zhang Lixian felt a little touched and a little worried.

"Commander, do you think so highly of me?" Zhang Lixian's eyes were a little moist.

It would be a lie to say I wasn't moved.

If Yu Xiaoqing had the courage of Cun Yunsheng, he would have attacked Nantianmen regardless of the orders from his superiors.

Even if he died in battle at Nantianmen, he would have no regrets.

But that person was too hesitant and lacked the courage to take responsibility.

"The commander of the Sichuan Army values ​​every member of the army very much." Lin Yi said, patting the other person on the shoulder.

"I remember this is the sentence the commander said the most."

"What?" Zhang Lixian looked at the other person curiously.

“There are no heroes who fall from the sky, only ordinary people who stand up.”

"He believes that everyone in the Sichuan Army is an ordinary person, but he believes that it is this group of ordinary people who will create miracles, so you have to believe in yourself."

"You can do it. Don't let the commander down." Lin Yi said, looking at the other person with an even bigger smile.

"Yeah." Zhang Lixian took a deep breath and nodded heavily, then asked again.

"What else did the commander say?"

Now he was more and more curious about Cun Yunsheng, which was different from the first time they met.

Now he really wants to know what kind of person the other person is.

"Anything else? Let me think..." Lin Yi pondered for a while and then said.

"Well, there is one more sentence. It was in Bhamo, a major of the British army asked the regimental commander."

"He saw the straw sandals we were wearing and asked."

"What will you do with your straw sandals in winter?"

When Zhang Lixian heard about straw sandals, he was moved, as this was the standard equipment of the expeditionary army at that time.

Except for officers, the soldiers basically wore straw sandals.

"What was the answer?" Zhang Lixian especially wanted to know what Cun Yunsheng's answer was at that time.

"The commander said: We didn't plan to live until winter." Lin Yi said this with awe.

Zhang Lixian was also moved when he heard this.

"The commander is such an amazing person." Zhang Lixian suddenly felt a little regretful for some of his previous misunderstandings.

"Yes, so now I have to guard Myitkyina for him and absolutely no problems are allowed." Lin Yi said firmly.

"Okay, I've told you so much and wasted a lot of time. Have you made your choice?"

"Well, I want to be on the front line. I want to participate in the battle against Lashio. Even if I die on the front line, I will have no complaints." Zhang Lixian said solemnly.

"Okay, I see that you have no interest in staff. In that case, you should go to the airport. The Sixth Battalion has completed assembly and is waiting for the transport plane. It's a good opportunity for you to get familiar with them." Lin Yi nodded, and then asked Zhang Lixian to go to the airport to get familiar with his troops.

"Yes, Staff Officer Lin." Zhang Lixian nodded, and when he turned around, he saluted again.

"Take care, senior."

"I will remember what you said to me."

After saying that, Zhang Lixian left the command center, got on a jeep, and drove towards the airport.

Although he had learned from documents that an infantry battalion of the Sichuan Army had nearly a thousand people.

I didn't feel anything at the time, but now, looking at the densely packed soldiers in front of me, I still feel a surge of heroism in my heart.

Inside the airport, the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion were taking it seriously, and there was no noise at all.

Even if the boss is not around, he still remains standing.

I have to say that Cun Yunsheng is quite good at training soldiers.

In fact, his requirements were very simple, that is, to pay attention to military discipline and not to make loud noises at any time.

Two people form a row, three people form a column!
They even set up a special gendarmerie to enforce military discipline.

In addition, various honorary titles are awarded to squads, platoons and companies with outstanding performance in various evaluations.

Cultivate the soldiers' spirit of honor and let them understand that when one prospers, all prosper; when one suffers, all suffer.

In addition, certain material rewards will also be given.

By using various means and taking a multi-pronged approach, military discipline was greatly improved in a very short period of time.

With a brand new military appearance and equipped with powerful weapons and equipment, the combat power it unleashes will be extremely terrifying.

"My name is Zhang Lixian, and from now on, I will be your battalion commander."

"In the days to come, I will fight alongside you, live and die together!" Zhang Lixian took a deep breath, looked at the soldiers of the Sixth Battalion in front of him, and said loudly.

"Live and die together!" The soldiers of the Sixth Battalion burst into an earth-shaking roar.

At this time, the roar of transport planes came from the sky.

I saw transport planes slowly landing and then opening their hatches.

"Let's go!" Zhang Lixian waved his hand, signaling the soldiers to board the plane.

.........

Just as Cun Yunsheng was preparing to lead his men to attack Lashio.

But I met a special guest.

In other words, he never thought that he would meet such a guest here.

"German?" Cun Yunsheng looked at William, a man with blond hair, blue eyes and a high nose bridge, speechlessly.

"Yes, respected Lieutenant Colonel, I didn't expect to see you here." William did not have the old-fashioned nature of the Germans, but instead showed a kind smile.

"I really didn't expect to see Germans here." Cun Yunsheng said helplessly.

"Let me guess. You came here to do business with the Japanese, right? And then you encountered my troops attacking Hsipaw? So you didn't leave in time?"

Hearing this, William nodded in acknowledgement.

"That's right. We had just concluded a pharmaceutical deal with the Japanese army, and before we could evacuate, Hsipaw was captured by your men."

"Respected Lieutenant Colonel, I didn't expect that your troops are not inferior to the German-equipped divisions of that year. No, they are even stronger. Especially the M4 tanks, which are no weaker than our Leopard tanks."

"I didn't expect that America's military development has progressed so fast. This is not good news."

Before Cun Yunsheng could say anything, the person in front of him said a lot.

"Arms dealer? Or transnational businessman?" Cun Yunsheng asked.

War is a good opportunity for these multinational arms dealers to make a fortune.

In particular, the Japanese army suffered heavy losses in Myitkyina, and the wounded were concentrated in Hsipaw.

Because the Japanese army did not consider that they would suffer a disastrous defeat, they did not carry much medicine.

With so many wounded people suddenly appearing, a large amount of medicine must be needed.

It was too late to transport them from the mainland, so we had to turn to these multinational arms dealers.

There are many multinational arms dealers like this in Shanghai.

There were even quite a few in Hong Kong before.

Arms dealers from all countries have them.

"Your Excellency the Lieutenant Colonel knows us very well." William chuckled.

"Yes, but I think besides medicines, are there other businesses? For example, rubber?" Cun Yunsheng suddenly remembered that after the Japanese army occupied Southeast Asia, the German army seemed to have sent a submarine force here.

In addition to intercepting Australian merchant ships arriving in the British Isles, they also purchased some scarce materials, such as rubber.

Hearing this, William looked at the other person in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.

"You, you, how did you know?" William felt his scalp numbing and his eyes were filled with fear.

"Guessed." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

This is really just a guess!
He remembered that after the Japanese army occupied Southeast Asia, the German army did send a submarine force there with the aim of weakening the British army's foundation and completing the plan of trapping the British Isles.

Who would have known that I would actually guess it right just by saying it casually.

In fact, William was speechless.

Can you guess this?
If it wasn't the first time he met Cun Yunsheng, he would have suspected that the other party had planted a spy.

Meanwhile, the fear in William grew deeper.

He seemed to have thought of something wrong.

If Cun Yunsheng knew about it, it meant that the Allies would also know about it.

If this is the case, wouldn't the Allies also have to dispatch warships?
You know, not far from here is the British Empire’s Mediterranean Fleet.

Although the Mediterranean is now controlled by the Italian Navy, in reality the strength of the two sides is gradually becoming unequal.

If the Allies knew that the Germans had sent submarines.

Then warships will definitely be dispatched to conduct anti-submarine operations.

The reason why the warships were not sent before was because the British army wanted to completely resolve the European battlefield before coming here.

But if the German army wanted to cut off British merchant ships, it would certainly be different.

Not to mention sending the main force, at least sending a fleet should be no problem.

Thinking of this, William felt that he should not come to see him.

Should have kept a low profile at that time!

Seeing William becoming more and more frightened, Cun Yunsheng felt puzzled. He hadn't done anything, so why was he so frightened?

Just think about it!
He suddenly understood what the other party was afraid of.

"Don't worry, the Allies don't know yet that you're going to send submarines. But with your cipher machine, the Allies will probably find out soon." Cun Yunsheng chuckled.

William looked at the other party blankly. Was there something wrong with their cipher machine?

how can that be!

He must have been lied to.

But he was very curious about what the other party meant by this sentence.

"Aren't you going to tell the Allies? This is a great achievement." William couldn't help but ask.

"There's no need. Anyway, you are going to attack British merchant ships, and I don't have much good feelings towards the British army." Cun Yunsheng said casually.

It's not like we're bombing his merchant ships, so what does it have to do with him?

What was weakened was only the potential of the British army.

He actually hoped that the other party would do so.

Hearing this, William was even more confused.

"Aren't you allies?"

"Yes, the allies can sometimes be betrayed." Cun Yunsheng smiled even more happily.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. Let's go. With your status, it should be easy for you to reach Yangon."

Hearing this, William nodded, and then looked at the other party with some surprise.

"Why? If you hand me over to the Allies, it will be a great achievement."

"Why? How can there be so many reasons? If you must give a reason, thank you for training the German-equipped division for us." Cun Yunsheng thought about it and it seemed that this was the only reason.

Oh, there is another one, Rabe.

"German-equipped division." William murmured.

"Wait a minute, can you get some mechanical equipment?" Seeing William turning around to leave, Cun Yunsheng suddenly shouted.

　Also, there will be at least four updates today! I will try to make up for what I missed yesterday!
