Chapter 278 Honest people are easy to mess with too! (Second update!) "You want me to join the Sichuan Army? As the leader of the new second regiment? Or the standard American infantry regiment." Cun Xingxing looked at the telegram in his hand and said with a wry smile. "It's really generous. He is the leader of the main force, and he is all equipped with beautiful weapons and equipment. This guy is too heroic." The officer in front of him looked envious. Who doesn't know how well treated the Sichuan Legion is? "Master, are you tempted?" a major asked with a smile. "What? Aren't you tempted?" Cun Xingxing said angrily. "It's a lie to say that I'm not interested, but it won't sound good if I say it out loud. Anyway, I am also his fourth uncle. If people find out about this, I will be an uncle and beg for food behind my nephew. If I say it out, I don't know what others will do. Laugh at me." Hearing this, all the officers were speechless. Damn your pride. In other words, these people in the Cun family all have this bad habit.

But I have to say that the Cun family is indeed full of loyal people. "Regiment leader, this is a good opportunity. The Sichuan Army's art corps is different from our art corps. Their regiment has almost three thousand people, while ours only has a thousand people. Moreover, we are from the Yunnan Army. , Those direct troops didn’t take us seriously at all.” "All the beautiful weapons and equipment provided by the Yankees have been taken away by the direct troops, and we haven't been allocated much beautiful weapons and equipment until now." "If your surname hadn't been Cun, I wouldn't have been able to get even a single piece of fine art equipment." The major's name was Zhang Lan, and he and Cun Xingxing were considered brothers in life and death, so they were so careless in their words. Hearing this, Cun Xingxing remained silent. He also knew that his subordinates were telling the truth. If he only had a surname of Cun, he might not get much preferential treatment in the expeditionary force. Because this kind of preferential treatment will only appear in the Yunnan Army. For those direct troops of the expeditionary force, the Yunnan Army was also a mixed force. The reason why Cun Xingxing's infantry regiment was able to receive some fine weapons and equipment was purely because of Cun Yunsheng's face. If it weren't for Cun Yunsheng, they would definitely be like other troops, not even receiving a beautiful rifle. "It seems that even if I don't go, I will still take advantage of my nephew." Cun Xingxing said helplessly. "Tuanzuo, please stop being pretentious at this time. It is better to go to your nephew. He is your blood relative and cannot harm you." Zhang Lan advised again. "Let me think about it again." Cun Xingxing did not agree immediately. "Regiment leader, Commander Du Yuming, I want you to go to the headquarters." At this time, the communications staff walked in and said quickly. Hearing this, Cun Xingxing was startled, what does this mean? How do you let him go to the headquarters in a smooth manner? Is the fight about to begin? That’s not right either! His superiors also include division commanders and corps commanders.

It was never Du Yuming's turn to find him. With doubts, Cun Xingxing simply packed up and headed to the expeditionary force headquarters. … "This Yun Sheng is really going to give me problems. He wants someone from me." Du Yuming said helplessly after reading the telegram in his hand and handing it to the deputy commander Zheng Dongguo next to him. "Who do you want?" Zheng Dongguo asked curiously after receiving the telegram. "His fourth uncle, Lieutenant Colonel Cun Xingxing." Du Yuming explained. "Ah? His fourth uncle is also in our expeditionary force? This Cun family is really full of loyal people. Two people have been sacrificed. Counting old man Cun, that's three people. If something goes wrong with him." Zheng Dongguo's next words I didn’t say it, but the meaning was obvious. If it doesn’t work, just send it to someone else. After all, their expeditionary force still owes the Sichuan Army a lot of favors. "Yes, Chief Du, who is also a lieutenant colonel, is from the Yunnan Army. I believe those in the mountain city won't care." Sun Liren also spoke in agreement. After all, for the sake of the Sichuan Legion, it is not too much to send an officer who is also his fourth uncle. Even Liao Yaoxiang, who had been silent, also agreed and would send him away if it didn't work. After all, the expeditionary force of more than 100,000 people doesn't care about a small lieutenant colonel. "No, you don't think it's because I'm reluctant to let him go, right?" Du Yuming was speechless for a while. He was not that stingy person. As they say, a small lieutenant colonel was born in the Yunnan Army. Those people in the mountain city don't care at all. "Isn't it?" Sun Liren asked subconsciously. "Of course not. Yun Sheng wrote a letter to his fourth uncle, hoping that he would help him, but his fourth uncle refused. The general meaning is that he did not want to take advantage of him." Du Yuming rolled his eyes. "The Cun family is really strong-willed. Some people are eager to use the power of the family to advance themselves faster." Liao Yaoxiang said in time. What he said was Yu Xiaoqing. A kid from an aristocratic family who had been repeatedly defeated in battles and had no impressive achievements actually became the deputy commander, one level higher than him. Although he is the deputy commander of a motley army, he is still the deputy commander, and he is still very young. This naturally made him a little unhappy, so he took advantage of this moment to speak out. Hearing this, Du Yuming didn't say anything. He naturally knew about Yu Xiaoqing's reputation. I also feel that such a person is not worthy of becoming a soldier. It is said that even his confidants went to the Sichuan Army, which is enough to show that this person is not good at leading troops. But he was too lazy to take care of these messes, because the last expeditionary force had such messes. Isn’t that the case for all newly formed troops?

Otherwise, the defense line will not collapse quickly. So this time Du Yuming absorbed the lesson from the last time and equipped only the direct troops with fine weapons and equipment. Those miscellaneous troops had no fine weapons and equipment at all. That is to say, Cun Xingxing was assigned some fine weapons and equipment because of his relationship with the Sichuan Army. According to Du Yuming's explanation, it is to create a fist force specifically responsible for frontal assault. These miscellaneous troops were responsible for cleaning the battlefield, taking care of prisoners and so on. "Can you persuade me?" Zheng Dongguo asked curiously after reading the telegram. "I don't know." Du Yuming spread his hands, he really didn't know. Because Cun Yunsheng explained in detail in the telegram that the reason why his fourth uncle definitely didn't want to go was simply because he didn't want people to gossip. "We'll wait and see what happens. You guys should also follow suit. Seeing that the Sichuan Army has helped us a lot, let his fourth uncle go to the Sichuan Army." As soon as Du Yuming finished speaking, he heard the adjutant's report. Cun Xing Lieutenant Colonel Xing is here. "Sir, are you looking for me?" Cun Xingxing, who had just entered the headquarters, first stood at attention and saluted, and then said respectfully. "How have you been lately?" Du Yuming said kindly. "It's okay." Although he was a little confused, Cun Xingxing said quickly. "Sir, is there any mission? I promise to complete the mission." Cun Xingxing thought there was some task for him to complete, and once again emphasized that he would be able to complete the task. "This is a telegram from the Sichuan Army. Take a look at it." Du Yuming thought for a while and handed over the telegram in his hand. With confusion, Cun Xingxing took the telegram, glanced at it quickly, and was speechless for a while. This kid was actually able to persuade Du Yuming to persuade him, and his skills have indeed improved. "Sir..." Cun Xingxing was about to say something when he was interrupted by Du Yuming. "I suggest you go to the Sichuan Army. To be honest, you won't have much development prospects if you stay here, because you are from the Yunnan Army, which means your upper limit will not be very high in the future." This time Du Yuming spoke the truth. Although he is an honest man, he is not a fool. Naturally, we know that the one from Shancheng has been suppressing the miscellaneous troops. They even used the war to consume a lot of miscellaneous troops. Others were surprised when they heard this. Normally, no one with any common sense would say this. Only Du Yuming knew in his heart because he had the Weichuan Army. After taking so much equipment from others, I promised the other party to keep Tengchong and old man Cun. The result? Tengchong was lost, and old man Cun went on a hunger strike and died.

He is responsible for most of this. That's why he said such words. And Cun Xingxing was also very surprised. If this was reported to the mountain city by someone who was interested, Du Yuming's future would probably be very bleak. The other party has been sitting on the bench for a while. Hasn't he changed yet? "Sir." Cun Xingxing wanted to say something else, but saw Du Yuming wave his hand again. "Don't worry about me. At worst, I will continue to sit on the bench. I have no interest in getting promoted and making a fortune." This is true. Du Yuming is considered to be the most incorruptible group of people. "Listen to my advice, the Sichuan Army may have a better development prospect. Your nephew is very good. If it weren't for him last time, the expeditionary force would have suffered greater losses. This time it was also because of him that there has been no loss until now. Otherwise, we will become cannon fodder again," Du Yuming explained. After hearing this, Cun Xingxing fell completely silent. He didn't expect his nephew to be so capable? It was indeed beyond his expectation. Seeing that everyone else was silent and did not refute Du Yuming's words, he knew that he was indeed not suitable to stay here. "Sir, I understand. I will go back and pack my luggage right now. In addition, I want to bring a few more people with me." Cun Xingxing said. "Okay, as long as it's not too much, you can take them away." Du Yuming had no objection to this. After all, he could understand if he took a few confidants. After receiving the approval, I couldn't help but feel reassured. At the same time, I felt bitter. I didn't expect that I would end up joining my nephew. It’s really a disgrace to the Cun family. Thinking of my third brother, he entered the martial arts hall at the age of fourteen and later participated in a series of large-scale battles. Compared with the other party, I am not satisfactory. After Cun Xingxing left, Du Yuming couldn't help but smile. "Finally convinced." "Sir, if what you just said is reported to Shancheng, I'm afraid you will be on the bench again." Liao Yaoxiang couldn't help but say. He was still convinced by this senior, so he couldn't help but remind him that the expeditionary force still had military commanders. Hearing this, Du Yuming waved his hands and said nonchalantly. "It's okay, isn't it just a bench? It's not like I haven't sat on it before. Besides, this is a place where no one can shit. There is no US aid now. Who is willing to come?" These words made the people in front of them speechless. It was true that no one wanted to come to this poor place. They were also deceived, thinking how good it would be, but what happened? Those indigenous people defecated directly on the ground, and after being washed away by the rain, they entered the river. The result?

Both humans and animals use a river. On the first day of arrival, many people got malaria. If the Americans hadn't brought enough medicine, I'm afraid many people would have been killed. Then Du Yuming ordered that everyone was not allowed to drink raw water and must drink boiled water. Not only that, none of the food provided by the local indigenous people will be eaten, and the cooking class will be responsible for it. I finally understood why Zheng Dongguo and the others wanted to farm. Because you grow it yourself, you can rest assured about what you eat. "I heard that the Japanese army's offensive was very fierce in the front. They were invincible and the British troops were retreating steadily." Zheng Dongguo changed the subject and said. Hearing this, Du Yuming nodded and then said. "Yes, Stilwell sent me telegrams more than once, urging me to speed up. Even the old man Wavell sent me a telegram, saying that there were weapons and equipment ahead. Huh, these foreigners have no Peace of mind.” If it had been before, Du Yuming would have foolishly launched an attack. Having suffered such a big loss from the British army last time, they would definitely not believe what the other party said. "How did you respond?" Liao Yaoxiang asked curiously. "What else can I say? Let them send weapons, equipment, food supplies, etc. first, and then consider sending troops." Du Yuming said casually. After Cun Yunsheng's teaching, he now suddenly understood that no matter what, he had to get the benefits first. "I'm afraid that guy Wavell is going to be angry to death." Zheng Dongguo also said with a smile. "What does it have to do with us? Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. How is the training of the troops during this period?" Du Yuming asked, spreading his hands. "Military literacy has been improved very quickly, but how should we deal with the two hundred thousand natives? We can't afford to keep them like this." Zheng Dongguo asked. "Didn't the British say that there are weapons and equipment in front of them, so let them go? It will just consume the strength of the Japanese army and reduce our burden." Du Yuming thought for a moment and remembered Cun Yunsheng's previous arrangement, which allowed these natives to go consume the Japanese army. Hearing this, Zheng Dongguo was stunned, and then asked uncertainly. "If these 200,000 natives are released, big trouble may happen." "As I said before, it has nothing to do with us. We only have the right to command. What they want to do has nothing to do with us." Du Yuming said vaguely. After hearing this, everyone understood that it meant letting two hundred thousand natives go to harm those people. As for what the disaster will look like, that has nothing to do with them. "Then shall we keep farming like this?" Sun Liren still wanted to make achievements, but it was really pointless to keep farming like this. "There's no rush. Once the armored regiment promised by the Yankees arrives, we can launch an attack. Then we will raid the Japanese positions at lightning speed." Du Yuming raised his voice. I have to say that Cun Yunsheng's trick worked really well. Stilwell has promised that he will do everything possible to solve his tank needs.

Before this, had he dared to think so? "We can't give these foreigners a good look, and we can't tolerate their bad habits. If they don't have the equipment in place, it's impossible to send troops." Du Yuming said plausibly. (End of chapter)
