Chapter 326
From 1942 to 1945, the Siam government provided a total of about 1.5 billion baht of military expenditure to the Japanese army, and the Japanese stationed more than 300,000 troops in Siam to help allies realize the construction of the "*** Circle".
In order to pay for the huge expenses of the Japanese garrison, the Luan Piwen government had to issue large amounts of money, which led to inflation and soaring prices and rising people's living expenses, but it also provided the Japanese with a good logistics base in Southeast Asia.
However, this dog-forced country became one of the few winners after the end of World War II, which had to be admired.
Since he is about to enter Southeast Asia, Liao Mingyu is also thinking that if he has the opportunity, he must teach these Siamese monkeys a lesson.
But back to the point, the most urgent task is to decide whether to rescue the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army. If you want to rescue, you must first open the Yunnan-Burma Highway and then move south to Wa State after entering Myanmar. But this cannot be summarized in a simple sentence. After all, there are two or three Japanese divisions entrenched in northern Myanmar.
But if you don't save it, you can imagine the combat power of the self-rescue army, which is slightly stronger than the militia, in front of the Japanese, not to mention the tens of thousands of troops followed by the Siam two devils.
Perhaps in the original time and space, they were drowned little by little in the torrent of history, and their strength was too great. Even a talented person like Fang Jingyao did not show any waves.
However, this time, history gave them a different choice. Liao Mingyu touched his chin and thought about it secretly. It seemed that it was time to rewrite his destiny again.
"Brother Fang, what do you think about this?"
When asked about this, Fang Jingyao was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
After all, this incident came from the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army. Although I wanted to ask Liao Mingyu for support, I was faced with great risks, even if the latter chose not to help.
"The third regiment will move towards Wancheng in the afternoon. My order to Chen Jize is to take down Wancheng before tomorrow night."
Liao Mingyu's words made Fang Jingyao feel instantly, but the latter didn't say anything, just looked at him with anticipation.
"In the afternoon, you took the Engineer Regiment and Jize and others to take the lead, taking advantage of the Japanese army's defeat, entering Myanmar first and heading straight to Nankan and Huaxu. I will arrange for the First Regiment and the Second Regiment to set off immediately after the supply is completed to expand the results."
Liao Mingyu came to the map and pointed to the locations marked on it one by one. The entire combat plan instantly emerged in his mind.
"If everything goes well, seven days later, the first and third regiments will go south to Wa State to move closer to the self-rescue army, while the second regiment and the engineers will block the Japanese army. At that time, let Long Wen take the Falcon Squad to operate, and it is best to contact your people before contacting the Japanese army."
The reason why he did this was not to act recklessly. Fang Jingyao has been in the army for so long and has always been dedicated to his duties and has done everything himself, and has arranged the matters in the army very safely.
Although he was only in charge of the division headquarters, he finished all the work of the deputy division commander and the chief of staff, and even supported the engineering regiment's airs.
Sometimes Liao Mingyu thinks that it would be too easy to be the top leader with such a strong assistant. After all, he has been a manager for so long. If Fang Jingyao leaves one day, he will be really not used to it.
You should know that after the Battle of Nantianmen, the troops experienced a serious economic crisis. Those who were alive had military pay, those who were seriously injured and disabled had to settle down, and those who were killed had to pay pensions. This was what Liao Mingyu promised to give them from the beginning, but at that time the troops could not afford that much money.
For this reason, he raised money everywhere and started to blatantly resell arms, but this was not something that could be seen in a short time.
After Fang Jingyao found out, he immediately took out all the gold and silver oceans stored in Chanda to serve as military pay and pensions for the soldiers.
That time, Liao Mingyu deeply remembered this kindness and also recognized Fang Jingyao's character more, so this time he had to help him, both busy with emotion and reason.
"Brother Liao...this time..." Fang Jingyao was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Originally, he thought that Liao Mingyu would send troops to test at most, and he was more likely to do things perfunctorily to protect himself. Unexpectedly, he helped him without hesitation, which made Fang Jingyao very grateful.
"Okay, I understand, you and my brother still talk about so much?"
Liao Mingyu waved his hand indifferently and said proudly: "Isn't it just a 53rd Division? Even the 18th Division was eaten by us. Are you still afraid of him? I'll just fuck him if you didn't say anything!"
Fang Jingyao nodded heavily with his lips pursed. What else can I say when this is said? Even if there are thousands of words, there is nothing more than one sentence I understand you.
He worked hard and paid a lot of effort by the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army, and it was also the hard work of the eight major families in the Nanyang. If it was gone, it would be even more painful than digging his heart and liver.
Fortunately, there is no way out. As long as Liao Mingyu's help, they will be saved. The combat effectiveness and equipment of the Third Division are obvious to all. When he is strong, he will fight back to Malaysia!
Liao Mingyu helped them unconditionally, and of course there were other reasons besides friendship.
From a strategic perspective, the 53rd Division was located between the Third Division and the Self-Rescue Army. If it could successfully meet with the Self-Rescue Army and annihilate the Division in one fell swoop after entering Myanmar, it would be an amazing victory.
Furthermore, if these thousands of people can be saved, it will be a good group of replenishing troops. After all, when I come to Myanmar, I am going to let go of my hands and feet. If there is a problem with the senior management of the government at that time, it will be troublesome.
It is not uncommon for disobedient troops to be choked by senior officials.
If materials can still rely on the system, there is nothing we can do about people. There is no harm in trying to gain a firm foothold in Southeast Asia and establish a good relationship with them. These are all ready-made soldiers, not to mention those Malaysian Chinese who are bullied by the Japanese.
But then again, when the 100,000 expeditionary troops retreated to the country, they were crushing the Japanese and they lost tens of thousands of people in the Wild Man Mountain alone.
Although these self-rescue troops were driven from Kuala Lumpur to northern Myanmar by the Japanese, they fought hard to pursue and block the enemy and have not been eliminated yet. I have to say that these people are really a bit extraordinary.
They had no supplies, no support, and their equipment was completely unified. There were even more than a dozen weapons of different calibers in the army, and the chaotic logistics added to the chaos.
Even in this case, the entire army still did not collapse. Even in the face of despair pressure, they could still maintain confidence in continuing to fight with the enemy. Perhaps...the thoughtful team is different.
