Chapter 87 Only ordinary people stand up!

In response to Cun Yunsheng's question, Meng Fanle could only roll his eyes. You are the commander, you can say whatever you want. How dare he have any opinion?

Although Meng Fanle is usually very sharp-tongued, he is actually very cowardly.

He dares to be sarcastic only when facing people he is familiar with, because he knows that his sarcasm will not result in a beating.

When you meet a stranger, you dare not say a word unless you have someone to support you.

When I first met Krupp, it was because I had Cun Yunsheng's support that I dared to suspect that Krupp was fake.

When facing Milong, he was extremely cowardly.

"Commander, when will we withdraw?" Since Lashio was occupied, it meant that there was no point in the expeditionary force on the eastern front continuing to fight. If they didn't withdraw, they might not be able to leave.

"Let's go today, but let's think about where to go first." Cun Yunsheng expressed his concerns.

He definitely couldn't go back to Nujiang. If he dared to go back, the Sichuan Army Corps, along with its men and equipment, would definitely be taken over by others.

Don't doubt Shancheng's determination, there are many people coveting his troops.

Not to mention that they are now fully equipped with American weapons and their combat capabilities have been improved by several levels, making them even stronger than the 200th Division. It is absolutely intolerable that such an elite force is still in the hands of miscellaneous forces.

If it was the previous Cun family, the people in Shancheng would probably be more wary, after all, the other party is also considered a veteran.

Now, of course, there is no need to worry.

As for how he will be arranged, there is no doubt that he will be on the bench.

Don’t think about getting ahead in the future, until you end up with nothing.

"Where to go? We definitely can't go back. There's no need to think about going back. The outcome will definitely not be good. I guess you'll be fine. You'll probably be demoted and sit on the bench." Meng Fanle even said with some gloating.

"Who made you accept General Stilwell's order? That means you gave up the mountain city. Everyone present knows the nature of your superiors." Meng Fanle glanced at everyone as he spoke.

Except for Lin Yi who showed a hint of wanting to defend himself, everyone else nodded in agreement.

If their superiors really cared about them, would they have to stay in the shelter for so long?

Isn't it because they are defeated soldiers and cannon fodder that no one cares about them?
They all remembered what Cun Yunsheng said at the time.

The defeated soldiers also depend on who leads them.

If it were him, it would definitely be a powerful elite force.

Now Cun Yunsheng has fulfilled his promise, and they will follow each other to the death.

"Captain Ayi, please don't deny it. If the superiors really wanted to remember you, would they let a major stay in the detention center for so long?"

"You behaved so strangely in the shelter, cleaning yourself up every day. Aren't you just thinking that someone from the top will pay attention to you one day?"

"Have you ever thought about this: Who would want a major who has never fought in a war?"

"As for the officer training class you attended, I have to say that anyone can attend it as long as they are willing to spend the money." Meng Fanle's mouth was still as vicious as ever, but it made Lin Yi feel ashamed.

"That's right, Commander Ayi, we all know your little thoughts, but considering that everyone is in the shelter, we naturally don't want to make it too difficult for you."

"I'm afraid that in the eyes of his superiors, a major who has never fought in a war is not as good as cannon fodder like us. At least he can still hold up a shell at a critical moment." Yao Ma also cooperated.

"So, wherever you say to go, we will go. We have sold our lives to you starting from Zenda." Meng Fanle's words aroused everyone's agreement.

"You idiot, I'm only your chief steward. I won't serve anyone else." Milong always looked like he deserved a beating, but his words did make Cun Yunsheng smile knowingly.

It seems that my sincere efforts have not been in vain.

In fact, the cannon fodders are not really conscienceless. They have just been fooled by their superiors again and again and finally become numb. Now that they meet a superior who is sincere to them, they are naturally very moved.

"Commander, I don't want to defend myself, but I feel that if you offend the people in Shancheng like this, in the future..."

"The war will eventually end, and our fate is just to be soldiers..." Lin Yi wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Cun Yunsheng.

"I never thought about the future. I'll drive the Japanese troops away first."

"As Steve asked me."

"What?" Everyone looked over and asked curiously.

"What will you do in winter when you wear straw sandals?"

Cun Yunsheng glanced at everyone, taking in their expressions, and then spoke.

"Do you know how I answered?"

"What's the answer?" Meng Fanle asked cooperatively.

"Because we didn't plan to live till winter."

As soon as these words were spoken, the place became extremely quiet, and everyone looked at Cun Yunsheng with admiration.

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

"Now that my country is in ruins, I want to return things to the way they were before. I hope you will work with me."

This can be said to be the most in-depth communication among the cannon fodder groups, and it also made everyone know Cun Yunsheng’s ambitions.

"Yes, Commander, we will follow you forever." Meng Fanle was the first to stand up and express his opinion.

"Me too. I also want things to go back to the way they were before." Long Wenjian looked at the other person with admiration, as if he had found a like-minded comrade.

"Me too……"

"And I……"

"You son of a bitch, Commander, you made me cry."

"Damn you, there's sand in my eyes."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng laughed loudly, then pointed at the map and said.

"Since Yu Xiaoqing has pointed out a clear path for us, let's first reach Lashio and then go to Myitkyina."

"There are a lot of supplies for the British army there, let's rest there first." "After that, I will go and have a good talk with that old guy Stilwell."

"Yes, Commander."

"Everyone return to your respective units immediately, mobilize everyone, and evacuate Tangji in three hours."

"Yes."

After everyone left, Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and asked again.

"Commander, what should we do with the refugees in the city?"

"Refugees?" Cun Yunsheng was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

How come there are refugees out of nowhere?

Following Lin Yi's explanation, Cun Yunsheng suddenly understood.

It turned out that after the Japanese army landed in Rangoon, the natives who first surrendered to the Japanese army could naturally receive part of the British army's assets, but most of them were still taken away by the Japanese army.

They had no other choice but to target the Chinese and Chinese Americans.

After all, they are the richest group of people besides the British army.

Soon these people suffered a disaster. Having their property robbed was the lightest punishment. Some even lost their lives.

This created panic, and more and more people began to head north to escape from the area controlled by the Japanese army.

Who knew that the British army would continue to be defeated and the expeditionary force would not be able to stop the Japanese offensive.

There was no choice but to continue heading north.

During this period, the local Chinese and ethnic Chinese learned about the cruelty of the Japanese army and, in panic, packed up their belongings and fled.

There are thousands of refugees gathered here in Tangji.

"So many refugees?" Cun Yunsheng was stunned, and then he suddenly realized that this is Myanmar. Although it is controlled by the British army, the living standard here is still good.

After all, the British army occupied the colonies for enjoyment, not for hardship, so it would naturally develop the local economic level.

Some Chinese people came here to make a living, and after several generations of operation, they naturally lived well.

That is the so-called middle class. Now that the highly productive people have run away, the Japanese army, as the victor, will naturally take over the assets left behind by the British army.

Following their natives, it’s not in vain.

Otherwise, there is nothing to be gained by following you. What's the point?

So the middle class suffered.

After figuring this out, Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and said.

"We need to ask Sun Yunfei to try to recruit some educated people. Besides, we have plenty of food. Give some to the refugees. Also, tell them that the Japanese army is about to attack and we need to retreat. If they want to follow, they can follow behind the team. We will try our best to ensure their safety."

"Yes." Lin Yi originally thought so. After all, there was so much food at the train station and they couldn't take it away at all.

However, this act of distributing food must be approved by the regiment commander, after all, it was all won by the hard work of the Sichuan Army.

"Also call Sun Yunfei over." Cun Yunsheng waved his hand, indicating that such trivial matters should be left to the other party to handle.

Soon, Sun Yunfei arrived at the regiment headquarters and saluted very respectfully.

"Tuanzuo."

"How is it? How was the matter handled?" Cun Yunsheng nodded and then asked.

"It has been handled. There will definitely not be any problems left." Sun Yunfei explained quickly.

"Very good, I trust you to do the job. Now there is something I need you to do." Cun Yunsheng continued.

"You said you would guarantee to complete the task." Sun Yunfei looked ready to die, which made Cun Yunsheng chuckle.

"Okay, don't get so excited, it's not a big deal."

"The troops will be retreating soon, and our target is the Myitkyina area. However, there will be some refugees following us. You send a few people to infiltrate and observe these refugees at any time to see if there are any unusual movements." We must always be on guard against others. The people of the Sichuan Army Corps do not speak the native language very well, so it would be impossible to ask them to do such a thing.

So after some thought, Sun Yunfei was very suitable for this task.

"Do you suspect there are Japanese among these refugees?"

"It's not that I doubt you, it's better to be cautious. With thousands of people marching, if one mistake is made, the entire army will be wiped out." Cun Yunsheng shook his head.

Why did he ask Dong Dao to send out all the reconnaissance companies every time he went on a march? Wasn't it just to be on the safe side?

So many examples of disastrous failures told him that he must send out reconnaissance troops to conduct search and surveillance.

"I understand. What if we find out that someone has indeed informed the Japanese army?" Sun Yunfei asked again.

"I will have my own way to deal with it when the time comes." Cun Yunsheng said lightly.

“How many people are there in your volunteer team now?”

Upon hearing this, Sun Yunfei excitedly began to introduce that he had already completed Cun Yunsheng's requirement of a battalion of 500 people.

"It's not enough. Five hundred people are too few. Aung San's puppet army has nearly 20,000 people. Five hundred of you are not enough at all." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said meaningfully.

"We just seized a batch of weapons and equipment, all of which are British-made. Take your men to find Lin Yi to take them over. Here's the note."

"Try to recruit more educated people from among the refugees. In the future, we will have tanks, cannons, airplanes and so on. They all require certain knowledge to operate, so you have to prepare in advance. Don't wait until the time comes when the equipment arrives and no one knows how to operate it." Cun Yunsheng advised earnestly.

"Yes, Commander. When I go back, I will look for knowledgeable and cultured people among the refugees." Sun Yunfei was also well-educated, so he naturally knew the importance of culture.

"Well, remember to send some smart people to blend in with the refugees." Cun Yunsheng reminded again.

"Yes."

　Continue with the old rules, update first and then modify! I got up late today! Mainly because I am tired and need to rest for a while!
