The War of Resistance Begins with the Regiment Leader Chapter 116

Chapter 116: Die to clarify your ambition, hope to fight bravely to kill the enemy!

"Military seat, why is this?" Outside Kunming City, where the Fifth Army was stationed, Zhu Maoqin looked at Du Yuming in front of him with a puzzled expression.

 He didn't understand why the operation to support southwestern Yunnan was abandoned?

Although the 200th Division suffered heavy losses, the losses of the remaining troops were not very large.

 Especially after Myitkyina received a large amount of material supplies, the combat effectiveness did not decrease much.

 On the contrary, it has been strengthened to a certain extent because of the American equipment provided by the Sichuan Army.

If the Fifth Army moves to southwest Yunnan at this time, it will obviously be able to severely damage the Japanese army and even restore the ChinBurma Highway.

 Why stop the attack?

Zhu Maoqin really didn't understand. He still remembered that the army had promised the Sichuan Army that they would use these weapons to inflict heavy damage on the Japanese army.

The results of it?

 Not to send troops and abandon the previously formulated reinforcement plan.

“I'm just following the orders given to me to go up to the peak.” Du Yuming took a deep breath and said helplessly.

"What a **** order. This is just sitting back and watching the country fall. What on earth is Shangfeng thinking?" Zhu Maoqin yelled angrily.

 “What are you talking about?” the chief of staff couldn't help scolding.

Du Yuming, however, did not pay attention and waved his hand.

“I can understand the sadness and anger in your heart, but this is an order from the top. Next, the Fifth Army will be stationed in the Kunming area.”

Hearing this, Zhu Maoqin understood immediately.

“I don't understand, what time is it, what kind of sectarianism are those people in the mountain city doing?”

Zhu Maoqin's voice was a little sad. He didn't want to resist the Japanese army, but in the end he was still engaged in some direct line and miscellaneous armies.

 He really didn't understand what those people in the mountain city were thinking.

Hearing this, Du Yuming fell silent and did not answer him.

 Because he knows that this is indeed wrong, but he is a soldier and it is his bounden duty to obey orders.

Looking at Du Yuming's expression, Zhu Maoqin also knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, and finally took a deep breath and said.

"Military seat, if nothing else, you have agreed to the Sichuan Army Corps to garrison in Tengchong. Now all the west of the Nujiang River has been abandoned, and Tengchong is also within the scope of the abandonment."

"Don't you care? The old man of the Cun family is eighty-eight years old. Not to mention that General Cun Xingqi died for the country, even if you gave us such a big help to the Fifth Army for the sake of Cun Yunsheng, you would not Can't you just sit back and watch?”

“Otherwise, what will others think of our Fifth Army in the future?”

Du Yuming glanced at Zhu Maoqin unexpectedly. He didn't expect that this guy was very affectionate and righteous.

"I have asked the security battalion to dispatch a company to Tengchong. I will pick up old man Cun. I promise that nothing will happen to him." Du Yuming's words made Zhu Maoqin breathe a sigh of relief. No matter what, nothing will happen to old man Cun. Otherwise, they will I really have no face to face the Sichuan Army.

 I took so many things from others and promised to fight the Japanese army. What was the result?

The Japanese army did not fight, but took the initiative to give up so much territory.

If something happens to old man Cun again, the Fifth Army will have to be stabbed in the back from now on.

"Okay, there are still new soldiers arriving soon. The artillery regiment must make up for the missing soldiers as soon as possible." After Du Yuming finished speaking, he signaled Zhu Maoqin to leave.

 After the other party left, the chief of staff couldn't help but speak.

“Military, why don't you tell him the truth?”

"What's the truth? Did Shangfeng do it on purpose? The fifth army was transferred just to watch over Long Yun?" Du Yuming sneered.

 “As a military commander, I will soon be on the bench.”

The defeat of the 200-strong division made Yamashiro want to preserve his strength.

Therefore, he directly refused Du Yuming's strong request to support southwest Yunnan and asked him to station near Kunming, obviously to rest and recuperate, but secretly to keep an eye on Long Yun.

 Prevent these miscellaneous troops from becoming powerful and threatening the status of the direct lineage.

Du Yuming even suspected that when the war was over, Long Yun would be the first to be attacked.

 Du Yuming felt very distressed about all this. He was not reconciled to it at all. He just wanted to lead his troops to fight and didn't care about anything else.

 But he couldn't avoid these, which made him extremely distressed.

 Just as he was about to reach the peak, he was going to sit on the bench for a while, so he could take advantage of this period of time to rest and recuperate his body.

Only half of the 100,000-strong expeditionary force came back. Someone must bear the responsibility for this person.

 In addition to the canceled 66th Army, two division commanders were also held accountable.

 As the actual person in charge of the expeditionary force, he will naturally be kept in cold storage for a period of time.

“Sir, don't worry, your abilities are well known to everyone, and you will still be activated in one year at most.” the chief of staff comforted him.

"It doesn't matter. I just returned to my hometown to recuperate. I have been sick for a long time after fighting in the north and south these years. I will take this opportunity to take good care of myself." Du Yuming waved his hand to show that he was not greedy for power at all.

Seeing this, the chief of staff couldn't say anything and could only sigh. In fact, Du Yuming was really wronged for taking the blame.

I am only the deputy commander, and there is a chief commander above me.

　　Not to mention how many pitfalls the British army has?

If it weren't for the British troops, how would the expeditionary force be so miserable?

But in order not to damage the relationship with the Allies, Shancheng naturally had to have someone take the blame, and Du Yuming was the most suitable candidate.

 Du Yuming obviously knew this, so he acquiesced.

It's really just about catching honest people and trapping them.

On the other side, Colonel Usuke Hirai of the 56th Search Regiment was stunned for a long time as he watched the news from his subordinates.

“The second reserve division on the opposite side has withdrawn?”

"Yes, Your Excellency Colonel." His subordinate's words made him hesitate.

 Mainly due to being tricked by the Sichuan Legion. So now that he saw the Second Preparatory Division voluntarily withdrawing from Mangshi, it made him wonder if there was any conspiracy.

 “Your Excellency, Colonel, do you want to send troops to pursue us?” his subordinate reminded cautiously.

"Well, send a squadron to chase after you. Remember not to get too close to see if there is an ambush. Remember to be more vigilant. When you encounter a suspected ambush, you must search several times." Usuke Hirai This is the first time that Colonel has been so timid.

 When I heard that the Chinese army was retreating, I would always scream and order the troops to pursue it.

 Now I don't dare to do that.

 “Hai.” His subordinates responded quickly without saying much.

 The result was beyond expectations. The Second Preparatory Division seemed to have no fighting will, and it kept retreating without even breaking up the troops.

This made the pursuing troops a little confused, and they did not dare to pursue too deeply for fear of being surrounded and eaten by others.

"There is no ambush? Have the Chinese people completely given up on holding on?" Colonel Hirai Uosuke still couldn't believe it.

 After all, winning Mangshi so easily really surprised him.

 Originally I thought I had to pay a certain price, but who knew it was so simple.

 “Continue the attack.”

Seeing that the Second Preparatory Division had no will to fight, Colonel Hirai Usuke continued to issue orders to pursue.

After occupying Longling, they divided their troops into two groups, attacking Tengchong and Huiren Bridge, preparing to hit the Nujiang River in one go.

However, when attacking Tengchong, they encountered fierce resistance.

"Old man, we are from the fifth army guard camp. Our army commander asked us to take you away. You should pack your things and follow us." In the ancestral home of the Cun family in Tengchong, the old man Cun looked at the soldiers in front of him and shook his head.

“I am already eighty-eight, even if I die, I will die in Tengchong.”

“Young men, please leave. The Japanese army will soon reach Tengchong. Please leave quickly.”

 Hearing Cun Dajin's words, the soldiers in the guard company looked at each other, full of helplessness.

 If they are young people, they still dare to be violent.

 But they really didn't dare to move against the person in front of them.

 They did not dare to be presumptuous by saying that he was the grandfather of the commander of the Sichuan Army Corps without mentioning his age.

 After all, the Fifth Army owed the Sichuan Army a huge favor.

 The beautiful weapons and equipment they are currently equipped with were all donated by the Sichuan Legion.

Originally, they promised the Sichuan Army to defend southwest Yunnan. Who knew that the Fifth Army broke its promise and did not send troops to defend it, but rested in Kunming.

 Even southwestern Yunnan was torn by war, which once made them feel that their faces were shameless.

If something happens to Mr. Cun again, their Fifth Army may really be stabbed in the back by the Sichuan Army.

“Company commander, what should we do?” a soldier asked anxiously.

The Japanese army has appeared outside Tengchong City. The troops defending the city are fighting with the Japanese army. However, the gap between the weapons and ammunition of the two sides is too big and they cannot stop them for long.

 So there is not much time left for them.

"Old man, our army has a very good relationship with Commander Cun Yunsheng of the Sichuan Army. It was Commander Cun Yunsheng who asked us to pick you up. The Japanese army will soon invade Tengchong and it is no longer safe here." Guard Company Although Chang was anxious inside, he still spoke softly on the surface.

"It's Yunsheng, so I can't leave. He's fighting outside the territory, and as his grandfather, he can't lose his homeland." Mr. Cun shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal.

"My Cun family has been guarding Tengchong for generations. The ancestors of the Cun family are here. Even if I die, I will never leave. You go, stay useful and kill more little devils."

"But..." The guard company commander wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Mr. Cun.

“As for Yun Shengna, don't worry, he will understand.”

"This is a letter from me to him. I hope he will take national affairs as his priority, kill the enemy and serve the country, and live up to his reputation as a man of the Cun family." After saying that, Mr. Cun handed the letter directly to the guard company commander, and then didn't look back. Return to the main room and ignore them.

"Company commander, what should we do? This is a task assigned to us by the military." The soldier said anxiously.

They didn't expect that Mr. Cun was so fearless of life and death that he would even die in Tengchong, which left them helpless.

 “Withdraw.” The guard company commander gritted his teeth and decided to withdraw first.

 If we stay any longer, I'm afraid more than a hundred people will have to answer for it.

 In any case, he has done his duty, and all that remains is to bring these family letters back safely.

The family letter given to him by the old man Cun showed that in addition to Cun Yunsheng, there were seven other sons.

　　Holding this thick letter from home, the guard company commander's eyes were a little red.

 After the Japanese army occupied Tengchong, Mr. Cun lamented that he was old and weak and could not go into battle to kill the enemy and defend his country.

 Then he said to the old servant who had served him for most of his life.

“From now on, don't bring me food. I will go on a hunger strike to commit suicide.”

 “Sir...” The servant immediately burst into tears.

"Don't be sad, everyone is destined to die. It may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai." After the old man finished speaking, he sat under the thousand-year-old fir tree that was broken by lightning and looked at Tengchong City in the distance.

This city that he guarded all his life resisted the invasion of the British army, but in the end it did not escape the fate of being occupied by the Japanese army.

 The ancestors of the Cun family were unfilial and allowed the Japanese pirates to occupy Tengchong.

 I hope that the men of the Cun family will be able to realize their shame and be courageous, and kill the enemy bravely to repay the country.

May the motherland prosper! Long live the nation!

The fifth update! Change first and then change!
