Chapter 421
"The meeting time is set at 9 o'clock in the evening. Now the commanders of each unit are basically in place. It's just your Southern Army. I really don't know what's wrong with you. You don't sit on the plane and try to stay away..."
Sun Liren walked in front with his hands behind his back, joking with a calm expression.
After a conversation, I found out that Liao Mingyu had actually been in a car from Myanmar. It took more than ten hours. If I hadn't seen the person arrive at the end, I would have thought he would not have been going to attend this meeting.
"Haha...it's mainly because we don't have a transport plane at Nankan Airport. If we arrange it, the time is similar to driving, so just..."
Liao Mingyu, who felt fear of the plane, could only smile bitterly at this and found a reason to make excuses.
"This meeting mainly discusses the next action plan for the Japanese war. The position of your southern army is very important. You can actively propose it at the meeting to try to move south as soon as possible before the Japanese respond."
"But then again, the entire expeditionary army belongs to your honorary third division, the best fighter. My brothers under my command are looking forward to working with you."
"Haha, General Sun has been too rewarded, I can't ask for it. The Japanese bully me too much, and it's time for them to pay their blood debts." Liao Mingyu's mouth raised slightly, and his expression was extremely firm.
Sun Liren nodded with a little appreciation in his eyes. The two of them had a great time talking to each other like friends they hadn't seen for many years. Even the guards around him were puzzled. Is this still their serious general?
Perhaps... this is the mutual appreciation between two iron-blooded soldiers.
"It's a pity that the voices in China are not very unified. They actually stopped at this critical moment, resulting in a missed opportunity. It's really disappointing!"
Liao Mingyu preached thoughtfully, what he said was the case that the counterattack of Myanmar some time ago, but the top leaders of the National Government Party were unwilling to invest more troops.
The Battle of Myitkyina was about to stop as soon as it was over. If it weren't for the many generals in western Yunnan who were thrilling and Stilwell's strong pressure, even this military meeting would have been exempted.
The bald man is still determined to solve the domestic problems first and is unwilling to spend it in Myanmar to make wedding dresses for Britain and the United States.
"I don't understand politics and I don't bother to think about so much. As a soldier, it's good to be able to do his part for the country and the nation!"
Sun Liren waved his hand and said that he didn't want to discuss those things. His idea was very simple. As a professional soldier, he tried his best to attack foreign enemies.
"The general is indeed a heroic spirit. He is really a role model for us. I have received the teachings." Liao Mingyu smiled slightly and flattered him.
"Ha...why are you not a role model? Others will only say that I am a monster, and it's too late to avoid it."
Sun Liren shook his head indifferently, raised his head and pointed to the wing room next to him:
"You guys have a rest here first. The meeting will start in two hours, and someone will come to arrange it at that time."
"Okay, thank you general for leading the way."
"have a good rest."
Sun Liren looked at Liao Mingyu deeply, nodded and then led the person to turn away.
Meng fucked his eyes and ran over to the gossip and said, "Junzuo, is he the commander of the New First Army? He has a strong aura. I heard that 80% of the battles of the Indian army were fought by their army. Good guy, this leader is almost one head higher than me..."
In this era when it is generally less than 1.7 meters tall, there are indeed very few people who can grow to 1.85 meters tall.
"I used to play basketball and participated in the Far East Games, and I was a top student who graduated from Tsinghua University. What do you think?"
Looking at the resolute back, Liao Mingyu fell into deep thought and sigh. Although it was only a few ten minutes of contact, he could also feel the mind and courage of this famous anti-Japanese general.
Strictly speaking, Sun Liren is a tragic hero. He did walk straight and sit straight all his life, but this also laid the groundwork for his tragedy in the second half of his life.
His straightforward and honest personality is incompatible with his colleagues in the National Party, and has always been unpopular in the military, and is even deliberately troubled by some colleagues.
After all, within the factional Kuomintang military community, only when everyone joins the crowds of people will be united. Sun Liren, you are so outstanding and innovative, you will be regarded as an "alternative".
Lao Jiang himself loves and hates him. He loves his military advisor and command ability, and is a rare general. He hates him that he has never cared about his "political tasks" and is almost indifferent.
But after all, he was not born in a direct line. How could Lao Jiang, who was suspicious by nature, feel assured that this tiger general with outstanding abilities and very close to the United States? In the end, the extermination of his military power is the best proof.
It is hard to imagine that this talented student at Tsinghua University, Sun Liren, who had studied at the Virginia Military Academy in the United States and was called "Rommeel of the East" by the British, had never joined the National Party before the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan. It is true that he did not understand politics.
It was not until 1947 that he was transferred to Baodao that he submitted the application for joining the party. He was expelled from the party by Jiang Jiang just a few years later. He was removed from all positions due to the so-called "mutineering case", and became a political victim of the game between Americans and Chiang Kai-shek. All the achievements of the war of resistance were deleted and imprisoned. This hurdle... it was 33 years!
In his later years, Jiang Jiang recalled: If Sun Fumin had a bit of political acumen, then I should be the one who was imprisoned...
Such an ending is really cruel to this famous anti-Japanese war hero in the future, sad... It's a pity...
However, to be honest, Sun Liren was definitely a tough soldier with iron and strong bones on the battlefield of the Anti-Japanese War. After graduating from Tsinghua University, he went abroad to work abroad and then turned to join the army to serve the country. He was injured 13 times and unconscious for three days and three nights. He resolutely led his army to fight abroad. The "Ren'anqiang Victory" is world-famous.
The Hukang River Valley defeated the 18th Japanese Division, seized the seal of the guard defense, and forced Major General Tianchuan to commit suicide by digging his stomach and pushing him south from Mengguan and Myitkyina to Xibu. The first army under his command was the army-level unit with the largest number of enemies among all the troops in the War of Resistance Against Japan.
From the perspective of the nation and the country, he is worthy of anyone. Even in the Kuomintang's big dye vat, he can maintain his original intentions. This is the quality that a pure professional soldier should have. This is what Liao Mingyu admires him especially.
...
At 8:50 pm, the sky was already as dark as ink, and the night was hazy and silent, but there was still a crowd of people in the semi-military villa courtyard on Henglan Mountain.
After all, the people who came to attend the meeting here were the top leaders of the troops in western Yunnan, and at the most solemn generals at the division command level. The consequences of this defense work cannot be done properly.
