Knowing that Tang Cheng was fiddling with his motorcycle, Sun Liren in the command post was secretly messing around, as an officer, he should have the quality of an officer, how could he take his driver to wander around on the 01 heights. I already had a bad impression of Tang Cheng in my heart, and after Tang Cheng was called to the command post, when Sun Liren faced Tang Cheng again, the original attention had already disappeared, and he just wanted to talk to Tang Cheng and kick this guy out of his 01 Heights.

Stepping into Sun Liren's command post again, Tang Cheng no longer had the reverence he had when he first saw Sun Liren, and seeing that Sun Liren's adjutant had brought him a stool, Tang Cheng had already sat down without waiting for Sun Liren to greet him. Some of the staff officers at the command post were already glaring, and they said in their hearts that this little captain who came out of nowhere was not small, and he dared to sit down with a big stab before his division had spoken.

Sun Liren didn't say anything about Tang Cheng's faux pas, but just smiled faintly and asked, "Company Commander Tang looks young, I'm afraid he won't be 25 years old this year, right?" The youngest company commanders under my command are all in their 30s, and they are all veterans, many of whom have fought bloody battles with the Japanese army in the North China battlefield. Sun Liren's homely question made Tang Cheng stunned for a moment, and then his brows wrinkled unconsciously, Sun Liren's first half of the sentence sounded nothing, but the second half of the sentence was a little beating and questioning his own meaning.

"If I go back to Master Sun, I was a soldier in the 26th year of the Republic of China, then I would be considered a student in the army at the age of 19, and now I should have 7 years of military experience." Tang Cheng's answer was something Sun Liren didn't expect, he didn't expect that this kid sitting in front of him was a veteran with 7 years of military experience. Being a soldier for 7 years is not uncommon, Sun Liren has many veterans under him, and many of them are even far older than Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng's next words made Sun Liren even more unexpected.

"I first joined the army in Shanghai, and it was the third day of the Second Battle of Songhu, when we organized students to deliver condolences to the front line, and as a result, I was temporarily captured by an infiltration unit of the Nationalist Army to act as a guide. Later, when I was ambushed by the Japanese army, I was rescued alone but was stuffed into a ragtag company and ordered to hold a street intersection, which should have been my military age from that time. Listening to Tang Cheng say that he was a soldier in Shanghai, Sun Liren's eyes lit up, he also participated in the Battle of Songhu at that time, but he was subordinate to the Central Tax Police Regiment that participated in the war as an independent brigade of the 88th Division.

Seeing that Sun Liren didn't answer his words, as if he was waiting for himself to continue, Tang Cheng had no choice but to continue to talk about his own affairs, "Later, one of our companies held the position in the center of the street for three days and three nights, and I was left alone in the entire company, but the Japanese army did not take advantage of it, and our entire company killed at least two of them, and then I entered the 88th Division, and then followed the troops to Nanjing." ”

"When I arrived in Nanjing, our second company was stationed at Guanghuamen with the second regiment of the teaching team, and after the city of Nanjing was broken, I followed the company commander to Mengcheng, and it was in Mengcheng that I was appointed by the Fifth Theater Command to become an officer. We were ordered to contain the defeated troops in Mengcheng and form the Mengcheng Guard Regiment, and then the Japanese army came over, and the guard group was finally broken up by the Japanese army, so I took some brothers to Macheng. During the Battle of Xiaojieling, I was seriously wounded and lost contact with the troops, and was desperately escorted by my two brothers to cross the river all the way south to Kunming to seek refuge with relatives and friends. ”

Tang Cheng sounded plain when he talked about this experience, but Sun Liren knew the hardships, a seriously injured person wanted to cross the river and go thousands of miles south under the blockade of the Japanese army, which was not something ordinary people could do. After listening to Tang Cheng's account of these experiences, Sun Liren's impression of Tang Cheng has changed greatly, so it seems that the fact that the direct company desperately dragged down more than 1,000 enemy troops in Xinpingyang is true, and it is not a false report of the battle results as those staff officers under his command said.

A veteran who fought in the Battle of Songhu and 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 his whiskers and horses, and the Americans were not so easy to coax. However, Sun Liren was still interested in how Tang Cheng became the commander of the company directly under him, you must know that when Stilwell decided to form a Sino-US joint force at that time, there were many young officers in the national army who wanted to participate in it, and they did not have the opportunity to lead an army alone like Tang Cheng.

To Sun Liren's doubts, Tang Cheng could only reply that he was lucky, "I am actually not a member of the Refugee Expeditionary Force, my brother-in-law was transferred to Myanmar as a logistics officer at that time, and my sister was afraid that he would have some strengths and weaknesses, so I found a few old brothers from the shelter to come to Myanmar to help him." During the retreat of Mandalay, we were separated from the large army and crossed the jungle alone, and happened to save the American soldiers, probably a piece of time in the jungle and the Japanese army for a long time, everyone had a friendship, and when we arrived in Ledo, we helped the British army to repel the Japanese attack, so it became the current direct company. ”

Tang Cheng's reason made Sun Liren shout as if he was listening to a story, but this matter could not afford to be verified, as long as Sun Liren was willing to investigate this matter, he would find that there was no moisture in what Tang Cheng said. The more Sun Liren looked at it, the more he liked it, and then during the meal, he offered to recruit Tang Cheng to enter the 38th Division, but Tang Cheng pushed everything on Mike's head, only saying that the Americans would not agree. The cook of the 38th Division cooked well, but Tang Cheng didn't know how much to eat at this meal, and Sun Liren almost had to inquire about how old Tang Cheng was wetting the bed.

However, Tang Cheng came to see Sun Liren not without benefit, at least he had learned from Sun Liren that Xinpingyang was about to build an airport, and the construction materials transported from the rear had arrived in Xinpingyang. "It's good now, as long as Xinpingyang has an airport, I can contact George, and in the future, we don't have to worry about being found and buried in the ground, just get on the plane from Xinpingyang and transport it back to Kunming, and I'll leave this matter to me." Knowing that the airport in Xinpingyang was about to start, the happiest person was Cai Jincheng, seeing that there were more and more jade ores, but it was a big trouble to not be able to transport them.

Mike didn't care much about these things, anyway, if something was struck, he would have to be counted, and Mike was quite interested in the next movement of the 38th Division. "What else, the 38th Division has more than 10,000 people, and it can't be a trip to northern Myanmar to play, and it is certain to take the entire Hukang Valley. But do you really want us to follow the ass of the 38th Division and eat leftovers? You know, we're only a little over a hundred people left. Tang Cheng was very unimpressed with Mike's ambitions, the entire direct company had been tempted by Cai Jincheng into the eyes of money, and if Mike wanted to pull the direct company to fight a tough battle with the Japanese army, few people might listen to him.

Mike, who was told by Tang Cheng, was a little anxious, and shouted at Tang Cheng, "Tang, you are still an officer now, and they are all soldiers, and you must not escape your mission as a soldier." Only by driving the Japanese army away from this land can this damned war end, otherwise none of us will be able to go home to see our relatives. Michael's words silenced everyone, and when you think about it, what Mike just said is not unreasonable.

After seeing Sun Liren once, Tang Cheng did not go to Xinpingyang again, but Mike Jiantian drove the jeep to Xinpingyang, and by the way, he used a qiē channel to inquire about the new movements of the 38th Division. After taking Xinpingyang, Sun Liren continued to mobilize troops to pursue the Japanese army, conquering Taibaijia on February 1 of the following year, and on March 4, he and Liao Yaoxiang's new 22nd Division attacked Mengguan on two ways.

After a short rest at Mengguan, on March 9, the 113th Regiment of the 38th Division joined forces with the American commandos to capture Waruban. The Burmese Japanese army was originally prepared to use the 18th Division, which was the most confident in fighting with the Chinese army, to meet the 38th Division, but unexpectedly, the 38th Division that entered the Hukang River Valley completely changed its appearance in terms of organization, equipment, tactics, and technology, and caused heavy losses to the Japanese 18th Division. The 18th Division of the Japanese Army, known as the "King of Jungle Warfare", suffered more than half of the casualties in this battle and had to flee from the Hukang River Valley, and the Burmese Japanese troops could not help but be stunned.

After the Indian army captured the Hukang River Valley, it took advantage of the victory to attack the Menggong River Valley on March 14, 44, and the 113th Regiment of the 38th Division crossed the mountains and mountains from the left flank and returned to the rear of the Jianbu Mountain, and the new 22nd Division attacked on both sides. After a fierce battle with the Japanese army, they finally captured Jianbu Mountain on the 29th and knocked on the gate of the Menggong River Valley. On April 24, 1944, according to Stilwell's major counteroffensive plan, the 38th Division and the New 22nd Division under the command of Sun Liren advanced to Menggong and Gamai respectively.

After the Indian army conquered Myitkyina, the troops were reorganized and expanded, and the New 1st Army was expanded into two armies, namely the New 1st Army and the New 6th Army. Sun Liren served as the 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 and the Japanese army were in full swing, but Tangcheng, who was hiding in Xinpingyang, was already idle and was about to grow hair, and since the 38th Division left Xinpingyang to continue to pursue the Japanese troops in the Hukang Valley, the company directly under the expeditionary force headquarters had already been in Xinpingyang for almost half a year.

Mike clamored all day long to go to the front line to kill the enemy, and after Tang Cheng and Liu Shishi tied their hands and feet and threw them into the stream and almost drowned half to death, Mike never mentioned going to the front line. The airport in Xinpingyang has long been put into use, and George's arrival made Cai Jincheng smile from ear to ear, and a large number of excavated jadeite ore was finally transported back to Kunming in a steady stream. In May, the arrival of Huang Hanju finally made Mike, who had been forbearing, burst out, and took advantage of Tang Cheng to sprinkle a few handfuls of salty salt into the hot water while taking a bath, and Mike finally went to the front line with his baby carbine.
