Sun Erwei was still a little hesitant about killing someone with a borrowed knife.
He said to Wang Xuexin: "Wang, isn't this a bit inhumane..."
"Inhumane?" Wang Xuexin put on a strange expression and asked, "Did we do something?"
Sun Erwei was a little confused when he saw Wang Xuexin's reaction. He hesitated and said: "We are not leaving those to the Japanese..."
"No, no!" Wang Xuexin interrupted Sun Erwei: "Who said those are reserved for the Japanese? Those are just for dealing with rats, do you understand?"
Sun Erwei kept his mouth half-open for a while without closing it. After a while, he nodded and said, "That makes sense! Those were not meant for people to eat. The devils picked them up and ate them themselves, so we can't blame us!"
Wang Xuexin nodded matter-of-factly: "That is, if they are dissatisfied with their longevity, can we still stop them?"
Sun Erwei laughed and raised his fist, and Wang Xuexin raised his fist to bump it naturally.
This surprised Sun Erwei. This gesture is not popular among Chinese people.
Wang Xuexin quickly explained: "I met a foreigner before, and he taught me this!"
Sun Erwei said "Oh" and then felt relieved.
For the Chinese Expeditionary Force, there was only so much Wang Xuexin could do.
At this time, Wang Xuexin was more than 2,000 kilometers away from the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and there were stubborn troops in the middle. It was impossible to lead his troops to join the war directly.
Wang Xuexin thought that after doing this, it would have at least several impacts:
The first is to make the expeditionary force more capable.
In the early stages of the expeditionary force entering the battlefield, due to the obstruction of the never-setting sun, the army was unable to smoothly enter the battlefield. The leading force, the 200 Division, still relied on walking to reach the defense line at starry night. This was one of the reasons why the 200 Division was surrounded by the Japanese in the first battle and suffered heavy casualties.
Second is the supply aspect.
Because Yingjiang focused on leaving supplies to the army where the sun never sets, the Chinese army tightened their belts to fight the Japanese. Many cars and tanks were unable to drive to the front line in time due to lack of fuel. As a result, they came forward in batches.
Fueling tactics.
Once again, there is the problem of the army secretly withdrawing and exposing its flanks as the sun never sets.
During this period, a strange thing happened that was rarely seen in the history of war. The Japanese army almost never stopped chasing them until the sun set, but one day they rested for half a day.
Not because of anything else, but after occupying a warehouse and finding a warehouse full of wine. As a result, the Japanese were so drunk that they had to take a rest.
This also shows how luxurious the Sun Never Sets army is. When the friendly forces on the battlefield cannot even meet the basic supplies, they can still enjoy wine imported from France...
The army guarding the western front where the sun never set was defeated like a mountain, and the eastern front of the expeditionary force was naturally cut off by the Japanese.
But if the Japs get into trouble because of eating the captured food, it will give the expeditionary force a chance to counterattack and encircle the Japs.
At that time, although I dare not say that it will change the direction and outcome of the war, it is still possible to reduce the casualties of the expeditionary force and give them more time to react.
Wang Xuexin's only worry was whether Stilwell would do as he said, or whether he could do it well.
But the feedback from Sun Erwei soon put Wang Xuexin at ease.
Sun Erwei came to see Wang Xuexin on the third day.
As soon as he saw Wang Xuexin, he mysteriously whispered to Wang Xuexin: "Wang, Stilwell has made arrangements!"
"So fast?" Wang Xuexin was surprised because modern Yingjiang's work efficiency is very low. It usually takes several years to build a building and build a road for several months.
But after thinking about it, I realized that I have habitually brought modern thinking into this era.
Eagle sauce in this era is different. The people are all very hardworking and efficient, otherwise it would not be possible to launch an aircraft carrier in a week.
Then Wang Xuexin asked curiously: "How did he do it?"
Wang Xuexin felt embarrassed when this matter was left to Wang Xuexin.
The reason is that this is a supply sent to the front line for the troops to use. This is no small matter. What if it is mixed up and distributed to the soldiers on whom the sun never sets?
Sun Erwei explained: "It's like this. Stilwell got a batch of expired cans, called them spare food, and sent an assistant to take care of them personally. They are not allowed to be used without his approval!"
Wang Xuexin secretly praised it in his heart. It was a good idea. Those pampered soldiers would look down on these expired cans until the sun sets, but it would be different when the Japanese came. They would not distinguish between expired and non-expired cans.
"In addition..." Sun Erwei said: "General Stilwell also mobilized two special trains for the Chinese army in the name of transporting supplies! The supplies are also gradually tilted towards the expeditionary force. To be precise, it is not tilted, but General Stilwell
The reserve materials were mobilized to supply the expeditionary force, and the sun never sets and we haven’t discovered it yet!”
Wang Xuexin nodded to express his understanding.
Stilwell, who had no real power, wanted to do something secretly. Otherwise, if Alexander knew about it and protested and opposed it, there would be trouble.
Now Stilwell will hide it for a while, and when the battle starts, Sun Buji will just focus on escaping and not care about this anymore.
Wang Xuexin relaxed after hearing the news, and then it depends on the performance of the expeditionary force itself.
"Thank you, Sun Erwei!" Wang Xuexin expressed his gratitude to Sun Erwei from the bottom of his heart. If this matter could not be solved without his help, it might save many outstanding Chinese soldiers.
Sun Erwei smiled and shook his head: "I should thank you, Wang! This may save many Yingjiang soldiers!"
This is true.
The more the Chinese battlefield develops in a good direction, the more it will be able to hold back the Japanese, so many fewer people will die in Yingjiang.
This is the so-called "common interest", just like comrades on the battlefield who benefit from each other and win-win. In fact, there is no one to thank whom.
Because everyone does these things for the benefit of their own country.
Otherwise, how could Yingjiang risk the lives of precious pilots to establish a hump route to transport supplies to China?
When Wang Xuexin turned his eyes to the documents on the desktop, he remembered the establishment of the mountain army, and said to Sun Erwei: "I need a thousand sets of rock climbing tools. I don't know if you can..."
"Climbing tools?"
Wang Xuexin explained: "When we fight against the Japanese in Zhongtiao Mountain, we sometimes have to use these tools."
"No problem!" Sun Erwei agreed immediately: "These are free! Even if I thank you for doing so much!"
Wang Xuexin suddenly discovered that it was quite cost-effective to cooperate with Yingjiang. Not only was it in China's interests, but he could also occasionally gain something.
The problem is...
Wang Xuexin didn't know which direction this battle would develop after his own changes.
However, this is not something Wang Xuexin can master. He can only take it one step at a time.
