My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 276 Upgrade completed (two chapters in one)

At the 11th Group Army Headquarters, a slightly thin senior officer was walking towards the headquarters office, holding several documents from the front line in his hand.

The middle-aged officer opened the door carelessly, but the guards at the side did not intend to stop him at all. It was obvious that his status was extraordinary.

"Brother Yin Guo, the statistics of the Longling battle report are out, it's really scary for young people, take a look."

"Oh?"

Song Xilian at the desk put down the banknotes in his hand, took the battle report and read it carefully.

"This Liao Mingyu is really capable. In less than a week, he actually stabilized the war in the Songshan area, and took the opportunity to counterattack and regain the entire Longling."

The middle-aged officer randomly pulled out a chair and sat opposite Song Xilian, but he praised the battle endlessly.

"Hehe, didn't Ping's brother still say that Zhu Zi became famous when he came here, nothing else?"

Song Xilian put down the document and teased with a smile, not surprised at all, but showed an expected expression.

"Oh, at that time I thought he was just a stinky foot promoted by some people, but I really misunderstood him. As expected, there is nothing worthy of his reputation. I'm afraid that old devil Watanabe won't be able to sit still this time. "

The middle-aged officer waved his hands mockingly. He was the commander of the Sixth Army who was transferred to western Yunnan in May this year.

Because of the influence of his old classmate Zhong Bin, coupled with He Shaozhou's incident later on, his attitude towards Liao Mingyu has never been very friendly, and he especially doesn't understand why Song Xilian is so interested in the latter.

But after this battle, Huang Jie finally realized Liao Mingyu's excellence.

This battle annihilated two Japanese regiments plus an artillery regiment, seized countless supplies, directly cut off the retreat of the Japanese army in Tengchong, and strategically forced the 56th Division to become a lone army.

If the 56th Division wants to withdraw to Myanmar, it is no longer feasible to walk the Yunnan-Myanmar kilometer. They can only march westward along the Yingjiang River and along the valley.But there are high mountains and steep roads, and it is not easy for large troops to pass through.

"Let's talk about the business. Send this battle report to Yuan Yuan immediately. This time, that kid's outstanding military exploits can also offset the impact of his last incident and confirm this teacher."

Song Xilian crossed his arms and thought, since he chooses to help Liao Mingyu, let's help him to the end, after all, the latter's ability is nothing to say, the more he can beat himself as the immediate boss, the better he will be.

"I don't think so. The incident last time involved too much. If it weren't for the grievances between the head of state and Minister He, Liao Mingyu would not have been able to get away so easily."

The seasoned Huang Jie has more insight and insight than Song Xilian in politics, and said that he has a different view on this issue:

"You still don't understand the temper of our chief instructor? There will be all sorts of twists and turns in the future. Now, Commander Chen has returned to Bayu to return to his command. I don't know who the next commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force will be."

It has been more than a year since the failure of the first expeditionary force to enter Myanmar. In February this year, high-level government officials decided to rebuild the command of the expeditionary force.The bald head of state appointed Chen Cheng as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, responsible for the training of the second batch of expeditionary forces.

In addition to the Burma expedition, the second expeditionary force was also responsible for recovering western Yunnan. The reason why Baldhead appointed Chen Cheng as the commander was mainly to take advantage of his prestige in the national army and his ability to organize the army.

Now that the two major armies of the Expeditionary Army have completed their training, his mission has been completed, and the future commander-in-chief is still unknown.

Song Xilian sighed dejectedly, and said helplessly: "Oh, just do your best and obey the destiny. No matter how you say it, he is also under my command. It can be seen that this kid is definitely not someone in the pool. I guess I will have to rely on him in the future." maybe."

Huang Jie nodded to express his understanding. Now there are many factions in the national government, and they, Huangpusheng, are divided into several factions, not to mention the various generals under the command of those big bosses.

The intricate network of relationships is like a mess. In addition to choosing to cling to one side, more people also hug each other to keep warm, or cultivate their own party members. This is the truest portrayal of the government.

He could tell that Song Xilian was trying to win Liao Mingyu, a young man, after all, he would reap what he sowed, and with the latter's momentum, he might really become a great god in the future.

Huang Jie can also be regarded as an aboveboard person, he has always loved capable generals and praised them without hesitation, so let's take it as a good thing this time.

……

A few days later... In a three-story bluestone brick building at No. 232, Bayu Guofu Road, the bald head of state was meeting an important confidant.

The head of state held a civilized stick and said to the visitor with a smile, "Cixiu, don't stand around stupidly, sit down quickly."

"Yes!"

A well-mannered middle-aged officer with thick eyebrows and big eyes immediately bowed his head and said yes. He adjusted his military uniform and sat upright on the sofa. On his collar badge was the rank of general with a gold face and three stars.

"I've been doing well in western Yunnan for the past few months. How's the army going?" The head of state asked slowly, taking a sip from his teacup.

"Thanks to you, everything is well. The expeditionary force's training work has been completed, and the 20th and 11th armies are basically completed."

The middle-aged man held his breath, and replied very seriously: "It's just that the 71st Army suffered heavy losses a while ago, and there were some vacancies in the army, but new replenishment has been arranged."

"Yes, you've worked hard." The head of state nodded, smiling and expressing his approval of his work.

"If you are loyal to the country, why do you work so hard?"

The middle-aged man replied sonorously, this person is one of the most trusted confidantes of the head of state, the commander-in-chief of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force: Chen Cheng.

"I'm going to send Wei Lihuang to take over the military affairs in the west of Yunnan. This time I will transfer you back for another purpose. I hope you can understand." The bald head said softly.

"All according to the arrangement of the head of state."

Chen Cheng nodded and said with lowered eyebrows, as the direct confidant of the head of state, he has always obeyed and supported the bald head's decision unconditionally.

The head of state nodded without saying anything, and pointed to the telegram document on the table for him to take a look.

Chen Cheng took it over and took a quick glance. The whole process of Longling's battle was recorded in detail in the telegram. He knew all these things, but he didn't understand what the head of state wanted to express.

"What do you think about this Liao Mingyu?" the head of state asked suddenly with his eyes closed slightly.

Chen Cheng was very surprised. According to the personality of the head of state, he would not ask such a question for no reason. Since he asked, he definitely had some ideas.

The head of state's behavior style has always been unique, and he doesn't care too much about other people's opinions at all, unless he values ​​​​the person very much, or the person has a high position and power and it is difficult to choose.

And Liao Mingyu obviously couldn't be the latter, there was only one explanation, Chen Cheng thought for a while and decided to tell the truth:
"Actually, I don't know much about Liao Mingyu, but his command ability is quite good. Just from the results of the battle against Japan from last year to now, it can be seen that he is a rare general."

The head of state nodded and said nothing. Of course, he also knew how brilliant Liao Mingyu's record was in western Yunnan in just one year. No general at the regiment or division level could do this.

If you just counted military exploits, it would not be an exaggeration to give him a military commander now, but for some reason, he couldn't be given a higher position.

"Actually... I think we can give Liao Mingyu the reward he deserves. After all, his military achievements are there." Chen Cheng thought for a while and expressed his thoughts. Seeing that the head of state's expression did not change much, he continued to add:

"As a general who fought on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, his ability and qualifications are very outstanding. He should be put on a bigger stage so that he can display more talents."

He is very clear about the grievances between Liao Mingyu and Minister He, but the same.His disagreement with Minister He is also well known, and the two have been fighting openly and secretly for many years.

As a rising star, Chen Cheng has won the love and trust of the bald head, and he can be said to be the new No. [-] figure after Minister He in the national government, second only to the bald head in status.

The so-called enemy of an enemy is a friend, and Liao Mingyu himself is very good, Chen Cheng really wanted to draw him into his command, and then strengthen his faction.

"Then tell me, what kind of job should I give him?" The bald head raised his eyelids and asked expressionlessly.

"I don't dare to speak nonsense in a humble position, it all depends on the decision of the head of state." Chen Chengyi replied half-covered.

Although there is a serious tendency to form cliques among the governments, they still dare not act recklessly on the surface, especially in front of bald faces, and they should not be too obvious.

"Cixiu, you may not know the mystery..." The head of state shook his head, and slowly told his confidant what happened.

The bald head wanted to reward Liao Mingyu for the last victory at Nantianmen, but he put it on hold because of He Shaozhou's incident.

In the end, although it was resolved, a large number of military officers from the Whampoa Faction spoke up and expressed their dissatisfaction with the incident.

Killing a colleague is despicable, and such a person cannot be allowed to stay in the army.Or the black sheep, unwilling to be with it.Anyway, there were countless slanderous telegrams of all kinds, and even several army commanders in western Yunnan sent letters of protest.

Although Minister He's status is not as good as before, his prestige is still there. As the former chief instructor of Whampoa, he still has the support of many officers. This is also a very troublesome point for the bald head.

Although the bald head kept Liao Mingyu under pressure, he was somewhat outraged by the public. In the end, if Zhong Bin hadn't underestimated the enemy and rushed forward and caused heavy losses to the troops, Nantianmen urgently needed a general to put out the fire. Liao Mingyu probably would have been hidden for a while.

But this is only to give him the position of chief of staff, and the reason for this is that Minister He obstructed it.

On the other hand, the bald head also wanted to use this kind of buffer to let Liao Mingyu get through this turbulent incident. As long as he continued to win on the battlefield, he would be able to right him later.

After listening to the head of state's grievances, Chen Cheng was also filled with emotions, but he wanted to help Liao Mingyu more and more in his heart.

On the one hand, it was because of Minister He, and on the other hand, he also discovered how much the head of state attached importance to Liao Mingyu, which is particularly important.

"It's better like this... Let him continue to hold the current position, but don't appoint a military chief for the time being. The victory of the Longling Battle this time is enough to jump to his gold-faced two-star rank, and it can also prepare for subsequent appointments."

Chen Cheng thought about it carefully and put forward his own suggestion.

"Well, I think it's feasible, let Wei Lihuang pass this order over."

The head of state thought for a while and felt that this was a more selective method, so he immediately decided to follow this arrangement.

In addition, Wei Lihuang's prestige and character are relatively good. If he goes to the west of Yunnan, he can also shock the commanders of the group army.

At this moment, Chen Cheng also began to make plans in his heart. Since the head of state attached so much importance to Liao Mingyu, he couldn't remain indifferent.

……

At this time, Liao Mingyu, who was thousands of miles away, didn't know about such an appointment. He was a little drowsy after lunch, and his mind suddenly trembled.

"Ding! Report to the host, the system upgrade is complete, please check..."

The long-lost voice sounded again, making Liao Mingyu almost jump up. This doggy system finally came alive.

"Master System, you can figure it out. I thought the upgrade would kill you! Didn't you say that it's a month at most? How long have you been doing the math?"

After reacting, Liao Mingyu kept complaining, this bastard is too irresponsible, what he said for a month suddenly disappeared for more than 60 days.

If it hadn't exchanged a lot of supplies before it "stands up", the entire army would have to sit and eat, and the supplies allocated from above could not afford to support these beautiful equipment.

"Ding, because part of the space-time data is lost, this upgrade has been affected..." The system immediately explained.

"and then?"

"Ding...no more."

"You fucking deal with me like this?? Do you know that I almost died this time? I was locked up in a small black room for more than half a month, and I told you that if you don't give some compensation, this matter will never end!"

Liao Mingyu cursed in his heart, wanting to dismiss the matter with just one sentence, it was too much.

"Ding... Check the host's memory... The query is over. That matter is the punishment of the host's own impulse, and has nothing to do with the system. Please don't turn black and white."

"Is that because the route you arranged for the delivery of the goods was not in place, so that you were peeped by others and caused the following series of things? Why don't you think about the source?"

Liao Mingyu insisted on relying on the system with his three-inch tongue. Anyway, it meant the same thing, and there would be no end to it if I didn't give an explanation today.

...The system paused for a long time without any response, as if he lost the courage to defend himself because of his words, and then slowly replied after a while:

"Ding, it does seem reasonable to say that. In this case, the system will give away a free weapon draw as compensation."

"Only once? You are too stingy! No matter how you say it, it will take three times. I have been imprisoned for more than half a year..."

"Ding... Since the host does not accept it, the opportunity to give it away will be cancelled. At the same time, due to data loss, the system will enter a post-upgrade repair state, during which time it will temporarily disconnect from the host."

Liao Mingyu was severely interrupted by the system before he finished speaking, how shameless?Then don't blame high-tech for being ruthless.

"It's got it! Just one time, it's better than nothing." Liao Mingyu hurriedly accept it as soon as he sees it, there is really no reason for this grandson to quit the job.

"Oh, that's right! I remember that there were two opportunities to draw weapons, right? Adding this time, it would be three times."

"Ding... That's right, there are still three chances to draw, but doesn't the host want to open the system interface to see the new functions of level 5?"

The words of the system seemed to be full of magic spells, which made Liao Mingyu instantly interested. He immediately closed his eyes and entered the depths of his mind, and opened the system situation impatiently.
