Chapter 397: Encouraging generals, knowing their shame and then becoming brave
As soon as the DC-3 passenger plane came to a stop, the cabin door was kicked open.
Immediately, 30 special warfare elites swarmed out carrying modified rifles. In less than a moment, the area hundreds of meters around the passenger plane was tightly cordoned off. Special warfare elites are special warfare elites, and the rigorous training is not in vain. Yes, even though everyone had vomited on the plane just now, they immediately returned to their true colors after getting off the plane.
After making sure there were no snipers ambush around, Chu Zhongcai protected Yue Weihan and got off the plane.
The two pilots who came on the same plane also got off the plane. Commander Yan's special plane had already sunk into the rice fields. It was obviously impossible to take off again. If they wanted to return to Taiyuan, they would have to abandon the plane and divert to India. However, Yue Weihan had just sent an invitation to them, hoping that they could stay and become pilots of the Expeditionary Force Air Force.
Without any hesitation, the two pilots borrowed from Shanxi agreed to Yue Weihan's invitation.
Who is Yue Weihan? Since the emergence of the Songhu battlefield, he has almost never suffered a defeat, but he has eaten dozens of Japanese regiments, brigades and even divisions. Following this It's fun for a general to serve as a soldier and fight. What's more, General Yue Weihan also said that if you join the Expeditionary Force Air Force, you can receive a military salary of US$150 per month!
Oh my god, 150 US dollars a month is 600 Guangyang, which is enough to buy 50 acres of good land in my hometown in Shanxi! When the Anti-Japanese War is won, as long as I haven't died in the war, I can go back to my hometown and buy hundreds of acres of good land. Now that the aunts and wives of the sixth and seventh houses are together and they have given birth to a lot of babies, living this life will be enjoyable.
Soon, the expeditionary force's search force also arrived.
It was determined that Yue Weihan was parachuted into Myanmar to take up his post. Luo Zhuoying hurriedly brought Dai Anlan and other senior generals to greet him.
Stilwell has also arrived. This old man has a higher position than Yue Weihan. Originally, there was no need to rush to greet him, but Americans have never paid much attention to these false etiquette, and the hierarchy between superiors and subordinates is not as strict as that of Easterners, even on the battlefield. In the past, many US company commanders dared to openly disobey the military orders of their regiment commanders and division commanders out of concern for the safety of their men.
Yue Weihan shook hands and saluted with Stilwell, Luo Zhuoying and others one by one, which was regarded as a formal meeting.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Zhuoying invited Yue Weihan to the expeditionary force headquarters located in the hinterland of the river valley.
In an open field, the guards had already set up hundreds of small horses. All the battalion commanders and above of the expeditionary force were already present. When they saw Yue Weihan appear, they all immediately stood up and saluted. This is also the custom. First, let officers above the battalion commander of the expeditionary force meet Yue Weihan, and secondly, Yue Weihan must also be lectured.
Stilwell couldn't help but frown. The old man hated formalism.
Luo Zhuoying had a little bit of pride on his face. Although this man had no abilities, let alone extraordinary military command skills, he was able to thrive within the Communist Party. It was because of his ability to figure out people that Jiang The reason why the Chairman of the Generalissimo sent him to Burma was also to hope that he could ease the relationship between Du Yuming and Stilwell, but he basically had no effect.
However, less than half a second after Luo Zhuoying was proud, Yue Weihan kicked over the little horse in front of him.
"What are you doing, what are you all gathering here for?" Yue Weihan's sharp eyes pierced the battalion commander, and he said coldly on the faces of the regiment commanders, "Is it fun? Waiting to die!? Waiting for the little devils?
A plane will come and kill you all? Then your troops will lose their command and turn into a bunch of sheep!?"
Luo Zhuoying was a little dumbfounded and said dryly: "General seat, this is..."
Yue Weihan ignored Luo Zhuoying at all, kicked over the second pony, and immediately shouted at the battalion commanders, regiment commanders and brigade commanders with a red face and thick neck: "Don't forget that this is the front line and a battlefield.
, not a theater! Who told you to leave your post without permission? Get out of here, get out of here right now, go and do whatever you need to do!"
All the battalion commanders, regiment commanders and brigade commanders suddenly showed extremely humiliating and angry expressions on their faces. Some of the violent ones even widened their eyes viciously, wanting to rush forward and strangle Yue Weihan to death.
Why are they willing to gather for this welcome ceremony? Was it not Deputy Commander-in-Chief Luo Zhuoyingluo who forced them to come?
The expressions of Gan Lichu, Dai Anlan and other army commanders and division commanders immediately darkened.
When Yue Weihan got off the plane, he reprimanded him sternly like this, showing no face to anyone at all. It was extremely excessive.
Even though you, Yue Weihan, have made great achievements in battle, killed enemies without calculation, and made great contributions to the country and the nation, how many people here are your brothers and seniors in terms of origin? And in terms of qualifications, how many people are your senior officers?
Senior? Even if you come from behind and become the superior's superior, you should still give the old superior the most basic respect, right?
Sun Liren, the commander of the new 38th Division, couldn't help but snorted from his nostrils, thinking to himself: This is really shameless. The hair on your mouth has not even grown, so you dare to train people like this?
Yue Weihan heard this cold snort, and immediately turned around and shouted: "Who? Stand up!"
"Me!" Sun Liren immediately took a step forward, stared back at Yue Weihan without any sign of weakness, and said proudly, "Sun Liren, major general and commander of the newly formed 38th Division of the 66th Army of the *** Revolutionary Army!"
"Sun Liren?" Yue Weihan said suddenly, "from the Tax Police Headquarters?"
"Sorry, this is the newly formed 38th Division of the 66th Army of the National Revolutionary Army!"
"Hey, what is the newly formed 38th Division? Isn't it adapted from the Tax Police Corps?" Yue Weihan curled his lips and continued, "I have heard of the Tax Police Corps, a security group jointly funded by banks from eight countries, right?
?To be honest, your performance in the Battle of Songhu was really poor, but at least it didn’t collapse at the first touch, so you didn’t embarrass the Chinese people.”
Yue Weihan's words offended all the officers of the New 38th Division. What is a security group?
For a moment, all the officers of the New 38th Division were furious, and Sun Liren even turned blue in the face.
The Tax Police Corps is not a security group, but an elite force made of steel. They fought even more bravely in the two battles of Songhu. Basically, every battalion was pulled up and a whole battalion was wiped out.
One regiment was wiped out, and no one surrendered or escaped. It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely a resounding and hard-core unit!
Of course, Yue Weihan did not deliberately discredit the Tax Police Corps. He did so for a reason.
To put it bluntly, it was because of Yue Weihan's foundation and qualifications that he was too young. Without some strong medicine, it was basically impossible for Yue Weihan to command this elite force like an arm and a leg! Therefore, Yue Weihan was ingenious in directing this exciting show.
, he just wanted to arouse the anger of these warriors, and then guide them to vent their anger on the Japanese army.
"What?" Yue Weihan looked at Sun Liren and said, "You look like you are not convinced?"
"Don't think that you, the 39th Group Army, are the only ones who can fight!" Sun Liren finally got angry, "Our new 38th Division is not just a piece of paper. If we put it on the battlefield to practice, we may not know who will win or lose!"
"Hey?" Yue Weihan said, "You still want to practice with the 39th Group Army?"
Yue Weihan immediately darkened his face and said rudely: "Sun Liren, with your new 38th Division consisting of more than 7,000 people, plus thousands of broken guns and dozens of broken cannons, how dare you practice this?
If I don’t attack you, the 39th Group Army can just randomly pull out a regiment and defeat your new 38th Division!"
At this time, Sun Liren and the officers of the New 38th Division were about to fly into a rage.
However, Yue Weihan did not give them a chance to refute. He immediately turned around and extended the scope of attacks and insults to the entire expeditionary force. Yue Weihan's "contemptuous" eyes passed over the faces of Dai Anlan, Liao Yaoxiang and other division commanders one by one, and said: "Return
With you, all of you are trash, how dare you come to Myanmar with a bunch of rabble and embarrass yourself?"
"Why, you're still not happy? They say you are trash. It's just the mob that makes you unhappy, right?"
"Am I wrong? A hundred thousand troops have been training for several years, right? There are tanks, armored vehicles, large-caliber heavy-duty howitzers, and a large number of trucks. The Lashio Railway Station and Yangon Port are even more crowded.
For the military supplies aided by the United States, you need people, guns, and artillery, and the logistics support is extremely rich, but what is the result?"
"The result is that Myanmar is lost, the Burma Road is broken, and the mountains of military supplies in Lashio Railway Station and Yangon Port all become supplies for the little devils!" After saying this, Yue Weihan patted him hard again.
His own face, "What is this? Face, do you still have face? I'm so ashamed for you. An army of 100,000 people can't even defeat half of the Japanese division that entered Burma first!"
"How can you blame us?" Dai Anlan frowned, "If the British hadn't stopped us, our expeditionary force would have entered Burma long ago. If our expeditionary force could have entered Burma half a month earlier, how could we have allowed half a division of the Japanese army to do so?
The regiment captured Yangon Port? Let alone let the Japanese army occupy Lashio and cut off the Burma Highway!"
"Excuse!" Yue Weihan gestured to Dai Anlan with his little finger and said, "Strong words!"
Before Dai Anlan could retort, Yue Weihan said again: "Don't you know how important the Burma Highway is to China? This is a lifeline, a blood vessel for the allies to transfuse blood to China. If the blood vessel is broken, can this person still live?"
It is only right to fight for the Chinese people and protect China’s lifeline. Whoever dares to stop us will be killed!”
"Besides, didn't the British beg you to come later?"
"The result? As a result, you had some contact with the Japanese army in Tonggu and Ren'anqiang, and lost in Tonggu. The 200th Division, known as the 1st Division of the ***, almost defeated the 55th Division with the same strength.
I made dumplings! Don’t tell me that the heavy equipment of the 200th Division is still in Lashio. These are all excuses. If you lose, you lose!”
"If Tonggu loses, let's lose. If the British run, let them run. But why are you running too?"
"The Japanese 55th Division in Mandalay is a fourth-class division with three infantry regiments. It has less than 20,000 people, but you have 100,000 elites, as well as aircraft, artillery, tanks and endless weapons.
Logistics and supplies, you have every chance to annihilate the 55th Division before the Japanese 18th Division arrives, why do you want to escape?"
"Even if the Japanese 18th Division arrives, so what? The two divisions combined only have 50,000 people?"
"Even if the Japanese 56th Division cuts off your retreat, so what? Doesn't he also cut off his retreat?"
"You were originally here to protect the lifeline of the Burma Highway, but when things came to pass, why did you back down? Don't forget that you are soldiers. The duty of soldiers is to protect this country and this nation. You even
What kind of soldier do you think you are if you run away if you can't protect the only lifeline of your motherland?"
"Shame, you are a disgrace to the Chinese people! I am ashamed of you!"
The commotion among the officers gradually subsided, and some even lowered their heads in shame.
Yue Weihan's words hit home hard for them, making it difficult for them to defend themselves. Although they were only following orders, retreating without fighting is an indisputable fact. As a soldier, this is a shame! This is hard to clean up.
Take off the stain!
"I know, you are just following orders!" Yue Weihan paused and then said, "But you are not puppets. You have your own brains. As a senior commander, don't you know what the Burma Road means to China?
What, you should touch your conscience and think about it carefully, Myanmar cannot be lost!"
"Burma is lost and the Burma Road is broken. What else can China use to resist Japan?"
"Without the material assistance from the allies, the Chinese nation will be exterminated, and you and I will become slaves of the subjugated country! Don't you want to be the subjects of the Japanese Emperor?"
"Pa bang bang..." Harsh applause suddenly rang.
The one who applauded was Stilwell. The old American man completely ignored the black look on the faces of the officers present. He simply admired Yue Weihan's "well-intentioned" lecture. In Stilwell's impression, many
Among the senior generals of the US military, Patton's speech quality is probably comparable to that of the young Chinese general in front of him.
Yue Weihan was not happy at all. He pulled on his straight woolen military uniform and said solemnly: "Now, I just want to tell you that I am here. Whether you accept my command or not, I will
We will fight the Japanese aggressors bloody to the end. Regardless of whether the Japanese aggressors increase their troops or not, I am bound to win Burma! China...will not perish!"
"If you think you are still a soldier, if you think you are still a bit bloody, then don't hide in this place where the devil lives. There is no way to survive hiding here!" After saying this, Yue Weihan turned back suddenly, his eyes burning.
Looking in the direction of Myitkyina, he said with murderous intent, "Take your troops and follow me to take back Myitkyina!"
"Okay, our New 38th Division will go with you to attack Myitkyina!" Sun Liren said ferociously, "However, this does not mean that we forgive your insult to the Tax Police Corps. In Myitkyina, all the officers and soldiers of our New 38th Division will
, I will use the little devil’s head to tell you that our tax police corps is by no means a security corps!”
"Okay, you are ambitious!" Yue Weihan said suddenly, "As long as your new 38th Division really wants to show off, I will kneel down and apologize to you in front of one hundred thousand officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force!" After that, Yue Weihan said
Then he turned to Dai Anlan, Liao Yaoxiang, Yu Shao and other teachers and said, "What about you? Should you tuck your tail between your legs and continue running away, or..."
"Commander, please don't insult our honor as members of the Communist Party!" Dai Anlan said coldly, "Previously our 200 Division retreated without a fight. That was because we were following orders. This time we went with the Commander to raid Myitkyina.
, that’s what we were ordered to do, but what I want to tell the commander-in-chief is that none of our 200 divisions are afraid of death!”
