At the end of the meeting, the two sides finally reached an agreement, with the United States providing weapons and equipment, the British providing food and military supplies, while the Chinese side still contributed their efforts to form the third batch of expeditionary forces to counterattack Myanmar and Malaysia.

Unlike the first expedition and the subsequent Yunnan Expeditionary Forces, the army stationed in India, the Myanmar Expeditionary Force has not received official certification at all. It can be said that it is the product of the secret decisions made by several people from private parties.

As the matter is important, neither side has made too much statements. In name, it is just to strengthen the maintenance of defense in northern Myanmar.

At least until now, Chongqing is not very clear about the specific situation, but if the last layer of fig leaf is torn apart, some people will be charged with treason and abandoning the king.

After the meeting, Liao Mingyu continued to stay in India for a few more days, and he didn't put it down the moment before all the aid supplies were in place and loaded.

It's not that he is so worried, mainly because the aid provided by Stilwell this time is so tempting, no one dares to do so.

In terms of light weapons, there are more than 35,000 Garland rifles and m3 submachine guns, as well as 1,500 12.7-caliber m2 heavy machine guns, 300,000 grenades, hundreds of tons of ammunition from each caliber, and some considerable number of flamethrowers, blasting tubes, bazooka launchers, etc.

It takes a lot of effort to transport this batch of weapons and ammunition to the front line alone. This is because Liao Mingyu rejected the old Springfield rifle, otherwise there would be more.

However, for the Americans, this is just a normal ratio of individual weapons for an army, and only they can do such a big deal.

Not all, the heavy weapons are even more dazzling. There are 24 new m114 155mm howitzers to the shore, 60 m101 105mm howitzers, as well as countless mortars of various calibers and corresponding large amounts of ammunition. They are definitely an American heavy firepower division.

The armored troops also gave 15 early models of short-bore barrel Sherman, using the old 75mm tank gun. In terms of performance, there is a lot of difference compared with the a3e8 model that Liao Mingyu redeems from the system, but it is more than enough to deal with the Japanese.

Stilwell spent a lot of money, in addition to tanks, there were some armored personnel carriers and some equipment consultants to teach and explain the use and maintenance of American weapons to Chinese soldiers.

Originally, a large part of these weapons were prepared to support the Chinese battlefield. However, for some ulterior motives, Stilwell, the military commander, changed the direction of transportation by "secretly operating" by Stilwell, the military commander, and the documents reported to the superiors were reasonable, and ordinary people could not find any problems.

Anyway, it’s all for Chinese people, who are you giving? Maybe the President will do the same thing after seeing his achievements in Myanmar.

But when the "peanuts" in Chongqing reacted, maybe they would jump and curse again. Haha... Thinking of this, Stilwell couldn't help laughing loudly. Can he give the other party a hint of a way, which is not happier than winning a battle?

...

"so…my    friend, goodbye, maybe this will be the last time we meet."

At Lanmuga Airport, Smith smiled and waved goodbye to Liao Mingyu about to board the plane.

"Well? Are you going to return to China?" Liao Mingyu asked.

"yes, my task has been basically completed and it's time to retire. I have been in this rainforest for two years, and if I don't leave, my knee will be ruined."

Smith shrugged and joked, taking off his hat and revealing his head full of grayness. He is almost 60 years old this year and has long been tired of life in the battlefield. It is time to return to China and enjoy his old age.

However, Smith was secretly glad in his heart that he had made the right investment and bet on the right treasure. Otherwise, how could he have returned to China so soon? The young Chinese commander in front of him really brought him a lot of surprises.

"Then congratulate you, my old friend, thank you for your help during this period. Unfortunately, there is no champagne here, otherwise I would really want to have a drink with you."

Valley

Liao Mingyu sincerely blessed. Although this old guy has always been a businessman in his purposeful business, he still worked diligently in the transportation of materials in the past.

Having said that, no matter what the purpose is, at least you help me when you are in trouble, you should say thank you no matter what.

"Haha, maybe you have a chance in the future, um... I hope you can use that batch of equipment to teach those Japanese monkeys a lesson."

Shrugging indifferently, Smith looked around and quietly leaned over and whispered: "Actually, I know your ambition. You won't be willing to follow someone's orders all the time. In fact, this is your chance... isn't it?"

Liao Mingyu was obviously stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and covered up and said in response to the question: "Maybe we really have a chance to meet."

Before the other party could speak, he waved his hand and boarded the plane without looking back.

The two engines of the c47 transport aircraft made huge noises, and they carried their bulky fuselage forward. After a distance of acceleration, the aircraft finally left the ground and looked into the air.

"Junse, the plane is cold, cover it with a blanket?"

Hao Zhigang thoughtfully just took a military blanket and handed it over, while Liao Mingyu, who was sitting in the seat, just nodded slightly and stared out the window and remained silent for a long time.

It seems that we have to be careful when we act later. These Americans have already guessed their intentions, and maybe they will make some work from them.

However, they never thought of their ultimate goal, and they might just think it was an ambitious warlord who was respectful. After all, there were too many such people in China today.

After returning, the troops had to speed up their pace. It felt bad to make people feel bored, even if it was just something that might happen.

...

Currently, the established troops under the 88th Army include the Honorary Third Division, the 200th Division and the New Fiftyth Division. If the aviation team, the Nanyang Self-Rescue Army and those supplementary regiments are added, the total number of troops has exceeded 50,000. In order to better command and control, it is imperative to reorganize the troops.

As the commander of the army, Fan Shaozeng has not been idle these days. He has written documents and made plans with Meng Fanle, and also screened appropriate officers based on the current positions of each unit. He was so busy that he put his chest on his back.

Now that with the help of American weapons and equipment, the difficulty of reorganization will be greatly reduced.

The troops' weapon ratio was generally based on the original standards, but only slightly adjusted. It was still a three-three system, with 12-person infantry squads, four combat teams, seven Garland rifles, two M3 submachine guns, one MG3 universal machine gun, one shotgun and the squad leader's m1 carbine.

The infantry platoon consists of three squads, an additional three-person blasting team equipped with a Bazukka bazooka and two M3 submachine guns.

The company level is composed of three infantry platoons, with an additional mortar platoon and a heavy machine gun platoon, equipped with three M1 60mm small steel cannons and three M2 12.7mm heavy machine guns. In addition, there is a sniper team. Soldiers with good marksmanship are equipped with 4x sights. They can wait for an opportunity to act in battle. In addition, the kitchen and medical squads... the number of people is about 180.

The battalion level consists of three infantry companies, and the support weapons are strengthened. An additional heavy machine gun company, an artillery gun company and a war defense artillery company are equipped with 12 m2 heavy machine guns, 12 81mm medium mortars and 6 pak40 75mm war defense artillery. There is also a transportation platoon responsible for the transportation of heavy weapons, with a total number of about 700 people.
Chapter completed!
