Chapter 185: If you are too proud, it is time to change people! (Second update!)
"Let's go!" Long Wenjian stood on the stage, looking at the densely packed troops in front of him, and suddenly felt an infinite sense of pride in his heart.

I never thought that one day I would be able to command an army of tens of thousands of people.

According to the plan, a force of 10,000 people led by Sun Yunfei will attack Tonggu.

He took a smaller route to attack Rangoon.

In order to make this plan successful, Cun Yunsheng provided him with an American-equipped regiment. Not only that, he also drew hundreds of key members from the volunteer team.

With these backbones, the combat effectiveness can at least be increased several times.

In terms of firepower, they were not inferior to the Japanese army, not to mention that the Japanese army at the same time was only one battalion.

As long as Sun Yunfei is not a fool, he can defeat the Japanese army even if he outnumbers them ten to one.

As for Rangoon, there were only two battalions of Japanese troops, but their firepower was not weak.

According to the information provided by Cun Yunsheng, occupy the airport first.

Taking over the airport means that Yangon is basically taken over.

"Old Sun, there is only one battalion of Japanese troops in Tonggu. We will advance steadily, build a strong stronghold, and fight a stupid battle. As long as we don't make big mistakes, we will definitely be able to take Tonggu. By then, I will take Yangon, and everything will be settled." Long Wenjian said confidently.

"Don't worry, a mere Tonggu is nothing." Sun Yunfei also looked confident, even a little arrogant.

It was obvious that he was a little bit off.

This made Long Wenjian frown slightly. He wanted to say something, but the other party didn't give him a chance and turned around and left.

"Captain, Sun Yunfei is getting a little too proud of himself. He's bound to suffer a great loss." A soldier from the special forces company reminded.

"It's okay. Let him suffer a loss. I reminded him last time not to get carried away. He has been safe for just a few days and now he is getting proud again. Does he think that everything today is due to his own ability?" Long Wenjian sneered as he watched Sun Yunfei walking away.

"The commander wants me to find a way to consume these natives. It's a good opportunity to let him hit the wall."

"Since you are disobedient, let's find someone who is obedient. The volunteer team has no shortage of people who want to take the top position."

"The commander is indeed far-sighted." The team members said admiringly.

"Well, Zhao Yi is a pretty good guy. He cooperates very well in all aspects. I originally thought he was a spy, but I didn't expect that I was wrong about him. I will focus on training him in the future. This is also what the regiment commander meant." Long Wenjian said.

"understood."

After Sun Yunfei left with an army of 10,000 people, he headed straight for Tonggu.

In fact, he was indeed drifting during this period.

Many more natives came to him for help.

When he thought about the tens of thousands of people he controlled, his tone of voice changed.

Especially since the Sichuan Army only had a few thousand people. If it weren’t for the support of the Allied Forces, would it have been where it is today?
If he had the support of the Allied Forces, he would definitely do better than the Sichuan Army.

As long as he could capture Tonggu, he would find someone to contact the allies and find a backer for himself.

It has to be said that sometimes people's ambitions continue to expand as their status improves.

The Sichuan Army's consecutive victories made him feel that the Japanese army was just so-so.

Therefore, he not only did not oppose Long Wenjian's decision to divide the troops, but instead agreed with it wholeheartedly.

He believed that he could also easily defeat the Japanese army.

After arriving at Tonggu City, Sun Yunfei decided to attack the airport first according to the tactics he learned in the volunteer team.

"Hit! Come on!"

Following an order, a regiment of natives took the lead and launched an attack on Tonggu Airport.

As a result, they had just advanced a hundred meters when they were beaten back by several Japanese machine guns.

In the end, they fled in panic, leaving behind hundreds of corpses.

This made Sun Yunfei, who was supervising the battle in the rear, somewhat unbelievable, and then he went crazy and urged his subordinates to continue the attack.

The Japanese squadron leader in charge of guarding the airport looked disdainful upon seeing this.

I originally thought they were the Sichuan Army, but it turned out to be a group of natives.

They couldn't defeat the Sichuan Army and they thought they were not strong enough.

It doesn’t mean that a group of natives dare to challenge them.

Da da da!
For a while, there were constant gunshots outside the airport, and soon, the open space was piled high with corpses.

The natives were already frightened out of their wits.

Only Sun Yunfei looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Why did the Japanese army, which was weak in the past, become so brave?

Isn't this scientific?
It is obvious that they are a unit trained according to the Sichuan Army’s method?

Why is it different?

And you have American equipment?
However, after watching the natives fall in a pool of blood one after another and the remaining natives could no longer hold on and began to flee, he realized a reality: the so-called tens of thousands of people were simply a mob.

A Japanese squadron could easily sweep them away.

"A group of ignorant natives actually dared to attack the airport." The Japanese squadron leader looked at the pile of corpses with a look of disdain.

If he hadn't been worried that this was a trap, he would probably have led his troops out.

"Retreat!" Finally, Sun Yunfei faced the reality that it was impossible to take the airport by frontal attack, so he retreated temporarily and thought of another way.

However, after this battle, his prestige declined rapidly.

More importantly, upon seeing this scene, many natives simply ran away with their weapons.

In just one day, his army of more than ten thousand was reduced to less than four thousand.

This instantly shattered Sun Yunfei's lofty ambitions.

Long Wenjian couldn't help but shook his head when he received the news.

As he expected, it was only the first day and less than half of the people were left.

It seems that there is little hope of taking Tonggu.

You have to rely on yourself at critical moments.

Thinking of this, Long Wenjian asked.

"How much longer?"

"It will take about half a day to reach the outskirts of the airport," the team member said immediately.

"Okay, also send another telegram to Sun Yunfei to give him confidence. As long as we take Yangon, we will help him capture Tounggu. Tell him not to lose heart." Long Wenjian said again.

"Yes."

Not long after, Cun Yunsheng also received the telegram forwarded by Long Wenjian. After reading it, he sneered.

"Sun Yunfei, this idiot, does he really think he is an important person?"

"After leaving the Sichuan Army, you are nothing but a pile of stinky shit. Do you still want to make a comeback?"

"Do you want to kill him?" Meng asked in annoyance.

"Once we take Rangoon, he should disappear. Why is he still thinking of contacting Stilwell alone? Will the Americans care about a worthless bug like him?" Cun Yunsheng said coldly.

"That Zhao Yi is quite good, very self-aware. Let him take over the volunteer team later." "If he doesn't listen, just replace him. Don't hesitate. We want obedient people."

"Ask Long Wenjian to keep a close eye on it. If necessary, he doesn't need to ask me for instructions. He will make the decision on his own."

"Yes." Meng Fanle responded, then asked hesitantly.

"Aren't you afraid that Long Wenjian might have ulterior motives?"

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng chuckled and said.

"How do you know that I didn't plant anyone around Long Wenjian?"

Hearing this, Meng Fanle felt his scalp tingling. He didn't expect that his own leader was so scheming.

"Don't worry, there is definitely no one around you." Cun Yunsheng joked.

"Why?" Meng Fan asked in confusion.

"With your big mouth, how many people are willing to follow you?" Cun Yunsheng joked.

Meng was annoyed and couldn't help rolling his eyes, not wanting to pay attention to him.

"The Military Control Commission called back and said that it would take some time. The list you gave them is a bit tricky and will require a lot of effort."

"Oh? It's nothing more than money. Let them not worry about money issues. Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem." Cun Yunsheng sneered.

"Give them a month to find a way to send the people to me. I don't have that much time to waste on them. If anyone tries to stop us, we'll just kill them."

"Yes." Meng replied angrily.

"We need to continue recruiting soldiers during this period. Our current strength is simply not enough. We need at least ten to fifteen battalions, and the tank battalion also needs to be expanded, as well as the aviation team. We only have thirty or so fighter jets, which is too few. All of these need to be expanded." Cun Yunsheng sighed lightly.

"Infantry officers are easy to deal with, but these high-ranking soldiers are very troublesome."

"Let the Military Control Commission think of another solution?" Meng Fanle said hesitantly.

"The people from the Military Control Commission are not omnipotent. We have to find other ways. Don't you have any familiar classmates?" Cun Yunsheng looked at Meng Fan.

"Most of my classmates are in the Japanese-occupied areas. Asking them to go south? I'm afraid it's impossible. As for the officers I knew before, they are basically dead too." Meng Fanle spread his hands helplessly and said.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng sighed and had to think of another solution.

"Commander, why don't you ask other people? Maybe they have some classmates?" Meng Fanle suggested.

"Do you think I didn't ask? They are basically the same as you. Either the ball is dead, or we can't contact them, or they just don't want to come." Cun Yunsheng glanced and said lightly.

"Forget it, let the Military Control Commission figure out a way to raise the stakes. People die for money and birds die for food. I don't believe we can't poach a few people."

Hearing this, Meng Fanle couldn't help but give a thumbs up. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he glanced around and said in a low voice.

"Commander, why don't we let the Military Control Commission try out the Fifth Army? They have quite a few high-level troops, and isn't there Southwest Associated University in Kunming? There are so many students, can't we just get a few of them over? Aren't those students from last time pretty good?"

"Isn't our field hospital supported by them?"

Cun Yunsheng's eyes suddenly lit up. There were quite a few talented people in Southwest Associated University.

In particular, the School of Engineering has a special department of aerospace engineering.

If we could recruit a few of them, we might be able to set up an aircraft production line.

As long as he can get the equipment and raw materials, there will be absolutely no problem.

Not only that, the shortage of pilots can also be solved.

Not to mention, there are students from other majors who are also talents he urgently needs.

"Let me think about it. These students are not so active. If they are not handled properly, the impact will definitely be very sensational." Cun Yunsheng paced back and forth. Meng Fanle's proposal really made him very excited.

But at the same time the risks are also great, and he may remember it a few years later because of cuts in education funding.

As a result, students from Jiaotong University took their own train to Jinling.

Therefore, this matter must be handled with caution.

It’s okay to do one or two, but if you do too many, there will definitely be problems.

"You can talk to those people in the field hospital. They also have their own teachers and classmates. You can't just take advantage of us." Meng Fanle said speechlessly.

"Yes, you reminded me. With their letter and the help of the Military Control Commission, there should be no problem."

"As for the Fifth Army, let me think about it. It's not easy to deal with the regular troops, especially after they were replaced by Crazy Qiu. It's even more troublesome." Cun Yunsheng felt a hint of trouble.

"Forget it, let the Military Control Commission figure it out on their own. My money is not that easy to take."

.........

At night, at the 15th Army Headquarters in Yangon, it should have been dark and everyone should have gone to sleep.

But now the lights are on and everyone is very busy.

Because not long ago, the troops guarding the airport reported that they were attacked.

I originally thought it was just a guerrilla attack, but who knew that the enemy's firepower was so strong.

They were all equipped with American weapons. If they hadn't all been shouting in the native language, they would probably have suspected that the Sichuan Army had arrived here.

Even so, it caused quite a stir!

"This is definitely not a simple guerrilla force." Kawabe Masazo immediately judged that this guerrilla force was not simple.

After all, the guerrillas all use bolt-action rifles. Have you ever seen a guerrilla equipped with American weapons?
And there are a lot of mortars!

This is simply outrageous!

Yahara Hiromichi's face was not looking very good either. He did not expect that the guerrillas, who had always been insignificant, would have such a powerful strength.

"It should be the American livestock that are supporting them from behind, otherwise these guerrillas would not have been able to obtain so many American weapons and equipment." Yahara Hiromichi's words were agreed by all the staff officers.

After all, only the rice-producing countries in the whole Southeast Asia have such strength.

"Your Excellency the Commander, I suggest that the navy should send submarines to attack the American merchant ships. It would be best if we could destroy their Chittagong port. Otherwise, if we continue, I'm afraid there will be even greater trouble." Yahara Hiromichi said seriously.

He knew the conflict between the army and the navy, but at this time, only the navy could deal with those merchant ships.

"Those guys in the navy won't help." Hebian Zhengsan refused without even thinking about it.

Hearing this, Yahara Hiromichi sighed inwardly.

This damn land and sea battle.

But he also knew that if he asked the navy for help, it would mean that the army would lose face.
After all, the navy always talks nonsense about the army.

"Don't worry about Chittagong, it's too far away from us. Let's deal with this guerrilla group first. The airport must not be lost. Otherwise, there will be big problems in Yangon." Kawabe Masazo said worriedly.

"Report, the Seventh Squadron guarding the airport reported that they had encountered a large number of mortar attacks and requested reinforcements." At this time, someone else came in and reported.

"Baga, could it be that the Sichuan Army is attacking?" Hebian Zhengsan roared angrily.

"No, absolutely not. Tell the Seventh Squadron to hold the airport. Also, notify the Ninth Security Squadron to leave immediately to support the airport."

"Hi!" Yahara Hiromichi immediately picked up the phone and ordered the assembled Ninth Squadron to set off immediately.

"Baga, tell the Seventh Squadron that if we lose the airport, we will all die." Kawabe Masamitsu shouted again.

"Hay."
