After learning that Tang Cheng was playing with motorcycles with his driver, Sun Liren in the command post was secretly fooling around. As an officer, he should have the qualities of an officer. How could he lead his driver around on Highland 01? I was already worried about Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng had a bad impression. After Tang Cheng was called to the command post, when Sun Liren faced Tang Cheng again, his original attention had disappeared. He only wanted to drive this guy out after talking to Tang Cheng.
His 01 high ground goes.
Stepping into Sun Liren's command post again, Tang Cheng no longer felt the reverence he felt when he first met Sun Liren. When he saw Sun Liren's adjutant bringing a stool for him, Tang Cheng sat down without waiting for Sun Liren's greeting.
Come down. Some of the staff officers at the command post have already stared at him, thinking that this little captain who appeared out of nowhere is very courageous. He dared to sit down without even saying anything from his own teacher's seat.
.
Sun Liren didn't say anything about Tang Cheng's rudeness. He just smiled lightly and asked, "Company Commander Tang looks young. I'm afraid he is not 25 years old this year, right? The youngest company commander under me is over 30 years old. They are all old."
Many of our veterans have fought bloody battles with the Japanese army in the North China battlefield." Sun Liren's family-like question made Tang Cheng stunned for a moment, and then he frowned unconsciously, listening to the first half of Sun Liren's words.
It doesn't matter at all, but the second half of the sentence is a bit hammering and questioning one's own meaning.
"Going back to Master Sun, I joined the army in the 26th year of the Republic of China. I was considered a student to join the army at the age of 19, and now I have 7 years of military service." Tang Cheng's answer was something Sun Liren did not expect. He did not expect this.
The boy sitting in front of him is a veteran with 7 years of military service. Seven years in the army is not a rare thing. Sun Liren has many veterans under his command, and many of them have military service experience far beyond that of Tangcheng.
But what Tang Cheng said next made Sun Liren even more unexpected.
"I first joined the army in Shanghai. It happened to be the third day when the Second Battle of Songhu broke out. We organized students to deliver condolences to the front line. As a result, I was temporarily captured by a national army infiltration force to serve as a guide.
Later, when I was ambushed by the Japanese army, I was rescued alone but was put into a miscellaneous company and ordered to guard a street corner. My military service should be calculated from that time." After hearing this, Tang Cheng said that he was a soldier in Shanghai.
Soldier, Sun Liren's eyes lit up. He also participated in the Battle of Songhu at that time, but he was affiliated with the Central Tax Police Regiment participating in the war as an independent brigade of the 88th Division.
Seeing that Sun Liren did not respond to his words and seemed to be waiting for him to continue, Tang Cheng had no choice but to continue talking about his own affairs, "Later, our company held the position in the middle of the street for three days and three nights, and I was the only one left in the whole company. But
The Japanese did not take advantage, and our entire company killed at least two of their squads. Later, I was transferred to the 88th Division, and then followed the troops to Nanjing."
"When we arrived in Nanjing, our Second Company was stationed at Guanghua Gate with the Second Regiment of the Teaching Team. After Nanjing was captured, I followed the company commander to Mengcheng. It was in Mengcheng that I became an officer after being appointed by the Fifth Theater Command.
We were ordered to contain the defeated troops in Mengcheng and form the Mengcheng Guard Group. Later, the Japanese army came and the guard group was finally dispersed by the Japanese army. I took some brothers to Macheng. During the Battle of Xiaojieling, I suffered
He was seriously injured and lost contact with the army. Two of his brothers desperately protected him across the river and all the way south to Kunming to seek refuge with relatives and friends."
When Tang Cheng talked about this experience, he sounded plain, but Sun Liren knew the hardships involved. A seriously injured person wanted to cross the river and travel thousands of miles south under the blockade of the Japanese army. This was not something ordinary people could do. Listen.
After reading these experiences told by Tangcheng, Sun Liren's impression of Tangcheng has been greatly improved. From this point of view, it is true that the direct company desperately held back over a thousand enemy troops in Xinpingyang, and it was not like what his staff officers said.
of falsely reported achievements.
A veteran who had fought in the Battle of Songhu, fought in the Battle of Nanjing and traveled thousands of miles south, Sun Liren believed that such a person would never be an officer who relied on flattery, and Americans were not so easy to coax. However, Sun Liren still had a crush on Tangcheng.
Heng'an is interested in how to become the company commander directly under the company. You must know that when Stilwell decided to form a Sino-US joint force, there were many young officers in the national army who wanted to participate. They were not like Tangcheng.
This is an opportunity to lead an army on your own.
In response to Sun Liren's doubts, Tang Cheng could only reply that he was lucky, "I'm actually not a member of the Refugee Expeditionary Force. My brother-in-law was transferred to Myanmar as a logistics officer. My sister was afraid that he had some shortcomings.
I found a few old brothers from the shelter to come to Myanmar to help him. During the evacuation of Mandalay, we were separated from the main army and walked through the jungle alone. We happened to save the American people. Maybe we were fighting the Japanese army together in the jungle.
As time went by, we all became friends, and when we arrived in Lieduo, we helped the British army fight off the Japanese attack, so we became the current direct company in a confused way."
Tang Cheng's reasons made Sun Liren exclaim that he was just listening to a story, but this matter could withstand verification. As long as Sun Liren was willing to investigate the matter, he would find that there was no water in what Tang Cheng said. The more Sun Liren looked at it, the more he liked it.
Then while eating, he proposed to recruit Tang Cheng to join the 38th Division, but Tang Cheng blamed Mike, saying that the Americans would not agree. The 38th Division's cook was good at cooking, but this meal
However, Tang Cheng didn't know how to eat the food. Sun Liren almost asked Tang Cheng how old he was when he wet the bed.
However, it was not without benefits for Tang Cheng to come to see Sun Liren. At least he had learned from Sun Liren that Xinpingyang was about to build an airport, and the construction materials shipped from the rear had already arrived at Xinpingyang. "It'll be fine now, as long as it's
With the airport in Xinpingyang, I can contact George. From now on, our things will no longer have to worry about being discovered and buried in the ground. We can just get on the plane from Xinpingyang and transport them back to Kunming. Leave this matter to me.
." When he learned that Xinpingyang's airport was about to start construction, the happiest person was Cai Jincheng. He saw more and more jadeite ore, but not being able to transport it out was a big problem.
Mike didn't care much about these things. Anyway, he had to be counted as a contributor when things were taken. Mike was quite interested in the next movements of the 38th Division. "What else can we do? The 38th Division has over 10,000 people, so they can't just come here."
If you are traveling in northern Myanmar, it is certain to capture the entire Hukham Valley. But do you really want us to follow the 38th Division and eat the leftovers? You know, there are only more than a hundred of us left now.
"Tang Cheng was very dissatisfied with Mike's ambition. The entire direct company had been seduced by Cai Jincheng and fell into the eyes of money. If Mike wanted to recruit the direct company to fight a tough battle with the Japanese army, few people might listen to him.
Mike was a little anxious after Tang Cheng revealed his feelings, and shouted to Tang Cheng, "Tang, you are still an officer now, and they are still soldiers. They must not escape their mission as soldiers. The only way to remove the Japanese army from this land is
Only by running away can this damn war end. Otherwise, none of us will be able to go home to see our relatives." Mike's words made everyone fall silent. Thinking about it carefully, what Mike just said is not unreasonable.
After going to see Sun Liren once, Tang Cheng did not go to Xinpingyang again. Instead, Mike Jiantian drove the jeep to Xinpingyang for a tour, and used all channels to inquire about the new trends of the 38th Division. Naturally, the headquarters could not let the 38th Division do so.
Stationed in Xinpingyang Fuwo, after taking Xinpingyang, Sun Liren's offensive continued unabated and continued to mobilize troops to pursue the Japanese army. On February 1st of the following year, he captured Taibaijia. On March 4th, he and Liao Yaoxiang's 22nd Division attacked Meng in a two-pronged attack.
close.
After a short rest in Mengguan, on March 9, the 113th Regiment of the 38th Division joined forces with the US commandos to capture Waluban. The Burmese Japanese army originally planned to use the 18th Division, which was the most confident in fighting the Chinese army, to fight the 38th Division, but unexpectedly they entered Hukang
The 38th Division of the River Valley has completely changed its appearance in terms of organization, equipment, tactics and technology, causing the Japanese 18th Division to suffer heavy losses." The Japanese 18th Division, known as the "King of Jungle Combat", suffered more than half of its casualties in this battle.
Even the Japanese troops in Myanmar could not help but be shocked if they did not escape from the Hukham Valley in embarrassment.
After the troops stationed in India captured the Hukang River Valley, they took advantage of the victory to attack the Mengong River Valley on March 14, 1944. The 113th Regiment of the 38th Division detoured over the mountains and ridges from the left wing to the rear of Qianbu Mountain, and attacked from both sides with the New 22nd Division. Passing by the Japanese army
After a fierce battle, they finally captured the natural barrier of Jianbu Mountain on the 29th and opened the door to the Mengong River Valley. On April 24, 1944, according to Stilwell's counterattack plan, the 38th Division and the New 22nd Division commanded by Sun Liren attacked Mengong Valley respectively.
and attack on Garmai.
After the garrison in India captured Myitkyina, the troops were reorganized and expanded. The New 1st Army was expanded into two armies, namely the New 1st Army and the New 6th Army. Sun Liren was appointed lieutenant general of the New 1st Army, under the jurisdiction of the New 38th Division and the New 30th Division.
The troops on the front line were fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, but Tang Cheng, who was hiding in Xinpingyang, was already hairy. Since the 38th Division left Xinpingyang and continued to pursue the Japanese army in the Hukang Valley, it had already been beaten by the expeditionary force.
The direct company that the headquarters forgot has been in Xinpingyang for almost half a year.
Mike had been clamoring all day long to go to the front line to kill the enemy. After being tied up hand and foot by Tang Cheng, Liu Shitou and others, he was thrown into the stream and almost drowned. Mike never mentioned going to the front line again. New Pingyang's
The airport had long been put into use. George's arrival made Cai Jincheng smile from ear to ear. A large amount of excavated jade ore was finally transported back to Kunming in a steady stream. In May, the arrival of Huang Hanju finally made the patient who had been forbearing
Mike burst out and sprinkled a few handfuls of salt into the hot water while Tang Cheng was taking a bath. Mike finally went to the front line with his precious carbine.
