Chapter 64 Is this a group?

Outside the meeting room, Cun Yunsheng was smoking calmly and even joked with Meng Fanle.

There were all kinds of quarrels in the meeting room.

Some people believe that the other party should unconditionally hand over these weapons. After all, fundamentally speaking, the Sichuan Army is also a Chinese army under the jurisdiction of Shancheng.

Zheng Tingji and others scoffed at these people's ideas.

Which onion is it?

Just let others hand it over unconditionally if you ask them to?
Finally, after some arguments, Dai Anlan agreed to transfer a company of soldiers in exchange for American equipment.

Of course, the soldiers of this company advertised to the outside world that they were helping the Sichuan Army with training, and never mentioned that they were exchanging weapons.

After all, it wouldn't sound good if it got out.

"A company?" To be honest, this was really an unexpected surprise.

Originally he thought it would be good to have a few dozen people.

Who knew that he would actually give it to a company, which really made Cun Yunsheng very satisfied.

"Captain Cun, you are the first person who dares to attack the 200th Division. If you were in China, people like you would have so many heads that they would be chopped off." Zheng Tingji sighed on the way back.

He didn't expect that the guy in front of him was so brave.

Didn’t you see that Dai Anlan’s face almost turned green at that time? If it weren’t for the weapons and equipment, he would never have agreed to this condition.

"Hahaha, if it were in the country, who would dare to mess with your Central Army? After all, your Central Army is the direct lineage. Don't you think death is not fast enough for me to mess with you?" Cun Yunsheng looked indifferent. Now everyone is fighting in foreign lands, and background is useless.

Whoever can get the weapons is the real deal.

"So you rely on being in a foreign land? Aren't you going to go back? The war will end one day. Everything that happened today has been recorded. I'm afraid of your fate by then." Zheng Tingji said meaningfully. He didn't believe that such a smart person could not see these things?

This was what puzzled him.

"We'll talk about the future later. Now let's drive the Japs away first. If we can't win the war, all the future will be empty talk." Cun Yunsheng looked indifferent.

"Captain Zheng, I think that what soldiers need to consider is winning the war and defending the country. If we can't win the war, what's the point of considering so much?"

"If I remember correctly, the spirit of Whampoa is about loving the country, saving the nation and the people, but I see that many officers of Whampoa have already abandoned these, and I feel very sad."

"I wonder if Captain Zheng has ever heard a saying?"

At this moment, Zheng Tingji finally realized how eloquent this guy in front of him was. He didn't expect that he would be left speechless.

"What are you talking about?" Zheng Tingji looked at the other party in confusion.

"If I don't poop, I'll suffocate to death."

"If I don't eat, I can only live for seven or eight days."

"You can live five or six days without drinking water."

"Don't sleep, live four or five days."

“Trivial matters feed us, but they also cost us our lives.”

"Our country has been lost, and we have lived for six or seven years..."

"I want things to be the way they should be." Cun Yunsheng's words were like a bolt from the blue, leaving the other party stunned, mouth dry, blood boiling, and not knowing what to say.

A complicated expression appeared on Zheng Tingji's face.

"Thank you for your advice." After a long time, Zheng Tingji let out a long sigh.

He also didn't expect that the person in front of him could have such a profound enlightenment. This really made him unbelievable.

The literal meaning is very simple. Drinking water, eating, and sleeping are all trivial things in life.

If we don't pay careful attention and support to such small things, we will die.

And even though our country has been lost, there are still so many people who laugh and curse and don't take it to heart.

So Cun Yunsheng was very sad. He hoped that everyone could rise up and become stronger, not fear the enemy, and fight against the Japanese army.

Instead of being like now, where soldiers are not like soldiers, generals are not like generals, and everyone is fleeing and scattering for their own future and lives.

Even Meng Fanle who was standing behind him was shocked. He didn't expect that his commander had such lofty ambitions.

Thinking about my past muddled life, a feeling of shame suddenly overwhelmed me.

The officers and soldiers of the 200th Division who followed them back to the airport were also shocked by Cun Yunsheng's words.

They are all more or less educated, so they can naturally understand the other meanings in the words.

When he looked at Cun Yunsheng again, his eyes were filled with respect.

An officer who has such awareness can't be too bad.

After that, Zheng Tingji said nothing and never mentioned any other topics.

Maybe Cun Yunsheng's words broke the other party's defense, or he thought of something.

Anyway, the mood is not right.

"Commander, you have a really deadly mouth. Captain Zheng has been tortured by you and hasn't spoken a word until now." Meng Fanle said quietly on the way.

"Really? I think you are still heartless? You don't have any feelings at all?" Cun Yunsheng turned his head and asked him.

This sentence choked Meng Fanle.

Don’t you feel anything?

how can that be possible.

"Okay, let's work together and try to get things back to the way they were before." Cun Yunsheng patted the other's shoulder and said softly.

"Yes, Commander." Meng Fan nodded heavily.

When we returned to the airport, the runway, which had been in disrepair, had been repaired to a point where fighter planes could take off and land.

At this time, a buzzing sound came from the sky.

This immediately caused quite a commotion, and when they saw that it was a US military fighter plane, they gathered together to point and talk.

"Disperse and stay alert." Cun Yunsheng looked at the soldiers gathered in groups of three or four and couldn't help but scold them.

When the soldiers saw that it was their own regimental commander, they jumped up in fright and returned to their respective positions.

Soon, eight transport planes began to land one after another.

As all the transport planes landed, the hatches opened and a captain officer led by a platoon of military instructors came out.

"Sir, Captain Steve reports to you." Captain Steve took a glance and found that Zheng Tingji had the highest military rank, so he hurried over, saluted and spoke loudly.

"Ah? I'm not your superior." Zheng Tingji looked embarrassed and quickly shook his head to indicate that he was not. Captain Steve was a little confused. He was not their superior?

"Ahem, I'm Lieutenant Colonel Cun Yunsheng, the commander of the Sichuan Army." Cun Yunsheng was not embarrassed. He came to Steve with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and said.

Cun Yunsheng didn't care about this mistake at all.

It is normal to admit mistakes, since Zheng Tingji has the highest military rank.

"Sir, Captain Steve reports to you." Although Cun Yunsheng looked very young, Steve really didn't dare to underestimate him.

Before coming, he had learned through telegram that the man in front of him was very capable.

A ragtag army was able to defeat a Japanese battalion head-on with less than a hundred casualties. This record is absolutely very impressive.

Especially since the other side is a ragtag army.

He also has a certain understanding of the Chinese army. The synonym of a ragtag army is poor weapons and weak combat effectiveness.

The fact that such a troop can achieve such an amazing record shows that the opposing commander must be very strong.

Soldiers all admire the strong and have great respect for capable people.

"Welcome, this is Major Lin Yi, the regiment's combat staff officer, and this is Captain Meng Fanle from the communications company." Cun Yunsheng introduced the important officers of the Sichuan Army Corps to Steve one by one.

After all, we will all be living together in the future, so it’s natural to get to know each other.

After the introduction, Steve took out a list of weapons, which contained all the weapons and equipment that Stilwell had prepared for him.

Looking at the list of weapons in front of him, Cun Yunsheng's hands began to tremble unconsciously.

It can be said that except for the lack of tanks, armored vehicles, jeeps, etc., all the necessary weapons are available.

Of course, there were no large-caliber heavy artillery either because they could not be transported.

"Do these eight planes have the weapons of a regiment?" Cun Yunsheng asked puzzledly after reading the list.

"No, there is only one infantry battalion with weapons and equipment for more than 800 people." Steve shook his head.

A standard infantry battalion in the US Army has about 870 people, which is equivalent to a regiment of a ragtag army.

What Stilwell was thinking at the time was that a regimental unit of a ragtag army would have at most a thousand people.

One battalion is enough to complete the initial reorganization.

"Only one battalion? What about the rest of the people?" Cun Yunsheng said with some distress.

what?
Steve was a little confused. How many people were there on the other side?
"Sir, how many people are there in your regiment?" Steve thought for a moment and asked cautiously.

"Not many, just over 2,000 people, and the replenishment battalion is still marching in the rear. If fully staffed, there will be about 3,000 people, a standard US infantry regiment organization." Cun Yunsheng said proudly.

At that time, he recruited soldiers according to the standard infantry regiment of the US military. Later, considering that many of them were new recruits, he formed a supplementary battalion of about a thousand people and stayed in Zenda for training.

Just send a telegram yourself and you can get them here.

So when Steve asked, he naturally said more than 3,000 people.

Only in this way can you get more equipment.

As expected, Steve was completely stunned.

An infantry regiment of more than 3,000 people?

Is this still a ragtag army?

Zheng Tingji next to him was also shocked. He didn't expect that the Sichuan Army had more than 3,000 people. Is this a regiment?

It’s almost the size of a Type B brigade.

This guy is extremely courageous.

Still dare to overstaff?

Not right either!
His official designation was the Sichuan Army Independent Regiment, and there was no limit on the number of people.

In other words, when his superiors gave him this title, they never thought that this guy would recruit thousands of people.

No wonder they dared to poach people from the 200th Division. It turns out they have always been so bold.

"More than three thousand people?" Steve said with some stammering.

"Yes, that's more than 3,000 people. Is there a problem? Or is it that General Stilwell is unable to provide so many weapons and equipment?" Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly, seeming to doubt the strength of the US military.

Hearing this, Steve jumped up.

You may doubt the U.S. military’s combat effectiveness, but you must never doubt its industrial capabilities.

Aren’t there just over 3,000 people?
Even if there are 30,000 people, they can supply them.

"Don't worry, it's just weapons and equipment for more than 3,000 people. At most, we can send a few more transport planes. I'll send a telegram to General Stilwell right away." Steve patted his chest and promised.

The corners of Cun Yunsheng's mouth slightly raised, and he looked like his conspiracy had succeeded, and he was very happy in his heart.

The Americans are still so easy to fool!
If it were Zheng Tingji, he would definitely verify the roster and then make a big discount. It would be good enough if he could give weapons and equipment to a few hundred people.

"Three thousand people?" Stilwell was a little confused when he received the telegram. Was his estimate wrong?
wrong!

It was his fixed thinking that made him misjudge the strength of the Sichuan Army.

The Sichuan Army never said how many people it had from beginning to end.

It was purely his subconscious belief that a regiment of ragtag troops could only have a thousand men at most.

Defeating the Japanese at the airport would surely result in some casualties, so it would be enough for him to transfer the equipment of a standard US infantry battalion.

Who knew there were so many people on the other side.

Knowing that there were so many people, Stilwell was not angry, but very happy. It is good to have more people.

This means he can mobilize more troops.

"Send the transport plane back and bring another batch of weapons and equipment to complete the equipment of a standard infantry regiment."

"Also transfer a few more military doctors over to set up a field hospital." Stilwell was very considerate and gave Cun Yunsheng warmth again.

A standard infantry regiment must have its own field hospital so that injured soldiers can be treated as quickly as possible.

"Sir, isn't this too much?" Tom said after a moment of hesitation.

"You don't understand. There is an old Chinese saying that goes, 'You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb.'" Stilwell shook his head with a happy smile on his face.

　Ten thousand more chapters are coming! Don't panic, there are more! If you want others to roll up, roll up yourself first, and the first one to roll up will lead the others to roll up!
