Chapter 866 The 200th Division Commander with a heavy heart (Chapter 2 is here today)
Du Yuming’s mansion,
He had just been summoned back by the chairman of the General Assembly for a meeting from the inspection place where the Myanmar-India-Malaysia military inspection team was.
Within a day, I also received consecutive calls from the Chairman.
And I also met and talked with the Chairman in person,
In the end, it was confirmed that he would serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the first route of the expeditionary force.
Du Yuming had no objection or disagreement with this position.
But even so, after he accepted this combat mission, he was still worried because he knew very well that this battle was not easy to fight, especially when he had to cooperate with those arrogant foreigners.
However, he accepted it only after the chairman's earnest persuasion, instead of accepting it happily from the beginning.
However, the person with the opposite mood to him was the Chairman, because he finally found the commander of the expeditionary force.
So after accepting such a difficult combat mission, he was also very irritable.
So after finishing the meeting with the Chairman,
As soon as he returned home, he immediately called the residence of Dai Anlan, a graduate of the third phase of the Huangpu Military Academy and one of the backbones of the Huangpu Department.
Make an appointment to meet each other,
Because the other party has also been appointed by the Chairman to become the division commander of the 200th Division, leading the vanguard of the expeditionary force to Burma to cooperate with the British army to fight against the Japanese and kill the enemy.
This was a passionate anti-Japanese general who ended up dying of serious injuries on the way to the expeditionary force.
Of course, at this time, neither Du Yuming, Chairman of the Committee, nor Dai Anlan himself knew about such a tragedy.
After receiving the invitation from Du Yuming,
Dai Anlan was also neatly dressed and came to Du Yuming's mansion for a meeting. Of course, he came by car.
After entering Du Yuming's mansion, under the guidance of the servant, he arrived at the drawing room.
Here, Du Yuming also prepared some delicious refreshments to entertain the other party.
"How many days are left before you lead your troops abroad? I heard that your first stop this time is to be stationed in Baoshan! Because the British army seems to have not fully agreed to allow our troops to enter their colonial areas to fight against Japan.
!”
After Dai Anlan and Du Yuming finished greetings, Du Yuming also got straight to the point and asked Dai Anlan, who was already sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Because he had just taken over the position of deputy commander, he also obtained some information about the deployment of troops from the chairman of the committee who was the commander-in-chief.
So he also knew that Dai Anlan was going to lead the 200th Division as the vanguard to attack.
And where is the opponent's garrison location?
"Well! Yes! I'm leaving the country soon, probably in about a week!"
In response to Du Yuming's straightforward inquiry, Dai Anlan responded without any concealment.
Because he knew very well that Du Yuming, who had a higher official position than him, could definitely get the battle information about where he was dispatched from the Chairman of the Committee, as well as all the information.
So he was also very candid in his response to Liu Feiyang, without any deception or concealment.
"You are going abroad this time to join forces with the British army to fight against the Japanese troops. How do you think the battle situation will be like this time abroad?"
"Can we obtain weapons and equipment from foreigners to fight against Japan?"
"In short, how are the weapons and equipment arranged? Should we continue to use our backward weapons and equipment? Or should we use the newer weapons and equipment of the foreigners to fight and kill the Japanese?"
After Du Yuming personally poured a cup of tea for Dai Anlan, he also smiled brightly and asked the other person in a gentle tone.
"I don't know what it will be like to fight abroad, because I don't have the ability to predict it!"
"This expedition to fight abroad is the first time since the Tang and Ming dynasties that our country has sent troops to fight abroad again to show off its power abroad. Therefore, even if Dai fights to the death of every soldier, he will definitely fight to the end until the Japanese troops are defeated.
Until defeated!"
"And once the battle breaks out with the Japanese, if I die in battle, then my unit will be replaced by the deputy division commander. If the deputy division commander dies in battle, then he will be replaced by the chief of staff, and then the regimental commander will die in battle. That's it.
Replace him with the battalion commander...and so on, at all levels."
"So I've already made a will!"
"As for whether the foreigners have given us new weapons and equipment, the chairman of the committee is still communicating about these situations, so I don't know what the results will be, but I believe that once he has the results, he will definitely make it clear to me!
"
"So now I just need to feel at ease and station the 200th Division in Baoshan!"
Dai Anlan also responded to Du Yuming in a straightforward manner as soon as they met and sat down and asked him about his overseas missions.
"Well! I have just officially accepted the position of deputy commander of the First Route Army given by the Chairman, so I will also go abroad to kill the Japanese. I asked you to come here this time because I want to have a good chat with you.
For a moment, because I was still a little nervous after accepting this combat mission, so I’m not afraid of you making fun of me!”
"I just want to have a good chat with you to relax, and I also want to know how you generals feel about going abroad to fight against the Japanese? Or do you have any good combat suggestions or necessary suggestions?
!”
"If there is, I will try my best to give you what you strive for from the Chairman!"
"After all, we will all be generals going abroad to fight in the future, so if you can help me, I will help you!"
After listening to Dai Anlan's sincere response, Du Yuming continued to respond in a gentle tone.
"Well! I don't have any requirements for the time being, but if you can provide the 200th Division under my command with more sophisticated weapons, equipment and ammunition, then I will be very grateful, because the environment of going abroad to fight is much worse than
Our domestic operations are even more difficult, especially when faced with the Japanese army, which has air superiority and heavy firepower weapons and equipment!"
"So I really want to get more good weapons and equipment to arm the 200th Division!"
Seeing that Du Yuming seemed to want to have a heart-to-heart chat, Dai Anlan also began to relax and responded with a smile to the other party.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to have a little bit of a friendship, and they were having like-minded conversations, talking over wine and talking at length.
All in all it was a pleasant chat,
As the two of them chatted more and more later, they became more candid about the feeling of going abroad to fight this time.
"I will fight hard with the Chairman to give you some better weapons and equipment for the 200 Division! After all, this is the first time for our national army to go abroad to fight. We can't lose our face.
Yes, at least we must win the first battle!"
So when the chat came to an end, Du Yuming was sincere and prepared to ask the Chairman for Dai Anlan to get sophisticated weapons and equipment so that he could equip the 200th Division and go abroad to fight against the Japanese.
"I'll leave everything to you, Commander Du!"
After hearing this, Dai Anlan was also very grateful.
"Well! I'll try my best! But I don't know what the chairman's true thoughts are!"
"And how was his conversation with the British soldiers?"
Regarding Dai Anlan's gratitude, Du Yuming also expressed some unstable factors.
He did not pat his chest and promise that the 200th Division would be successfully equipped with sophisticated weapons and equipment. Instead, he told the worst possible outcome.
At least he didn't cut off his own escape route.
His desire to help Dai Anlan was genuine, but he was not 100% sure that he could convince the Chairman and those foreigners to give them new weapons and equipment to kill the Japanese.
As the saying goes, you can't say too much, as this will cut off your own retreat.
"Well! I understand, you just have to do your best. Even if the change of clothes is not successful, I can still kill the Japs. Just like us in normal times, we can still kill them without the sophisticated weapons and equipment of the Japs!
It’s just that the casualty price we paid is much greater!”
Regarding Du Yuming who did not give up his promise, Dai Anlan also responded with a "I understand" expression.
"Thanks!"
For this reason, the person who expressed gratitude this time was Du Yuming.
Seeing this, Dai Anlan just smiled and didn't take it to heart.
Then the two of them continued to relax and chat for a while, and then parted ways.
But after leaving Du Yuming's mansion, Dai Anlan felt very heavy.
Because he didn't know if he could come back alive this time, he felt inexplicably sad on the way home.
Chapter completed!
