Chapter 352 Stilwell is jealous! "Regiment flag?" His eyes returned to the mountain city. The old man was originally angry that the Ninth War Zone had unauthorized contact with the Nanyang Task Force. Unexpectedly, He Yingqin and Chen Cheng, who had just left, returned again and gave him a huge surprise. "Yes, this is the telegram just sent by Xue Boling. They have seized the regiment flag of the 6th Infantry Regiment." Chen Cheng also looked excited. He did not expect to capture the regiment flag. It was really unexpected. He expected it.  This is simply unbelievable. This should be regarded as the first coalition flag since the Anti-Japanese War, right?  As for the capture by the Sichuan Army, he automatically ignored it.   After all, this is the first regiment flag captured on the Chinese battlefield. This is enough to show how difficult it is?  During the great victory at Wanjialing two years ago, the 106th Division was almost wiped out, and only a few hundred Japanese soldiers were allowed to escape.  The regiment flag was not captured even here.  It is enough to see how difficult it is to capture the regiment flag.

 But now that the alliance flag was actually captured, he was shocked.  “Are you sure?” The old man also looked unconvinced. "Yes, I even called Xue Boling personally. The regiment flag is now at his headquarters, and someone can be sent to deliver it at any time." Chen Cheng's tone of voice was different. Xue Yue was his number one general. Now that the younger brother has made a meritorious service, he, the boss, will naturally have a bright face.  They have sufficient confidence in speaking. 　　"Okay, okay..." The old man said three good words in a row, which was enough to tell that he was also very excited, and even the trace of dissatisfaction he had before disappeared.  “Xue Boling can still fight.” "Your Military and Political Department is planning a reward. It should be grand and show it to those motley crews. As long as they can fight and dare to fight, I will not be stingy with the reward." Hearing this, He Yingqin responded quickly. Not long after, the news of the capture of a coalition flag naturally spread throughout the mountain city, and Bai Chongxi, who was on the phone, naturally got the news. "Brother De Lin, I'm afraid we are really wrong this time. The limelight has been stolen by the Ninth War Zone. If we want to win over those miscellaneous troops again, we are afraid that our efforts will be much greater." Bai Chongxi sighed. . On the other end of the phone, Li Zongren also sighed. Unexpectedly, he, who was always so courageous, would shrink back at this critical moment.  Isn’t it just over 100,000 Japanese troops? So what if they are the elite of the Kwantung Army?  It’s not like he has never fought against elite Japanese troops? During the Battle of Taierzhuang, when faced with the attack of the Japanese elite division, didn’t he resist it?  Why do I lack this courage now?  Perhaps it was just one division at that time?  There are five Class A divisions now?

And it’s the Kwantung Army?  Perhaps you want to preserve your strength?   There are various reasons anyway.  For a moment, Li Zongren didn’t know what to say. "Brother Jiansheng, our Gui Clan can no longer think about preserving our strength. We must show an attitude. If we can regain Jiangcheng, it will also be famous for our Gui Clan." After a moment of silence, Li Zongren said It was decided to take action against Jiang Cheng. “If we go to the other party now, can we still get weapons and equipment?” Bai Chongxi asked doubtfully. "Don't worry, there will definitely be no problem." Li Zongren looked confident. Cooperation was all negotiated. There was nothing that could not be negotiated, as long as the conditions were right. "Okay, I suggest that if necessary, Xiawei can be transferred out of Guangxi Province. He also has a group army there, and his troops can be reorganized into an artillery unit first. It may play an unexpected role." Bai Chongxi mentioned. “Don’t worry, I know what’s going on.” Li Zongren nodded.  … "I didn't expect that the alliance flag was really captured. Zhao and them did a good job in this battle." Not long after, Cun Yunsheng, who was far away in Hanoi, also received a telegram from the Ninth War Zone. He was also very surprised that the Japanese army flag was captured. Normally, it would be difficult to capture it.  Because the Japanese army would take the initiative to burn the regiment flag when the situation went wrong.  During the great victory at Wanjialing, the Japanese army burned the regiment flag in advance. This shows how much the Japanese army values ​​the regiment flag, and it would be a miracle to capture the regiment flag. “This is the first coalition flag since the Anti-Japanese War. It is really rare.” Lin Yi said with emotion after reading the telegram. Everyone knows that this flag is valuable enough to be recorded in history and its name will last forever. Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel a trace of sourness on his face. "Sir Ayi, have you forgotten that we also captured a coalition flag? Why is it the first coalition flag?" Cun Yunsheng said casually, pointing out his mistake. “Hahaha, Sir, if you didn’t tell me, I would have forgotten that we also captured a coalition flag, but wasn’t that coalition flag collected at Stilwell’s?” "I'm wrong, this should be the first regiment flag on the Chinese battlefield." Lin Yi was stunned, and suddenly remembered the regiment flag that had been captured by his family before, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "That's okay to say. It is indeed the first united flag on the Chinese battlefield. Especially for Shancheng, this is indeed a very exciting thing." Cun Yunsheng did not refute. “We were caught off guard last time. How did we capture it this time?” Lin Yi asked curiously. "The Japanese army should have been stunned. Otherwise, how could they not have had time to burn the alliance flag? After all, these little devils value this thing more than their lives and will rarely lose it." Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and felt that he should push forward. The speed was too fast. It is estimated that the Japanese army was cut off from the wing headquarters before it had time to burn it down. “No matter what, this united flag will play a huge role in the morale of the war. After five years of fighting, many people have become desperate and think there is no hope of winning, such as the Wang Puppet Government who surrendered to the Japanese army.” “Now that this regiment flag has been seized, many traitors may not be able to sleep at night.” "Master, when will we capture another regiment flag? Then we can put it in your headquarters so that we can visit it every day." Lin Yi asked curiously. "Don't worry, it will happen. There are so many Japanese troops in Nanyang. With luck, we might be able to capture ten or eight regiment flags by then." Cun Yunsheng was not in a hurry at all.

 “Sir, General Stilwell’s phone number.” At this moment, the communications staff officer walked in and asked respectfully. "Pick in." Cun Yunsheng responded and began to think about what Stilwell meant by calling him at this time.  Is it to supervise his Nanyang offensive?  There is a high possibility that it is. Especially now that a regimental flag has been seized in Changsha, which is quite a shock. Stilwell will definitely be anxious. Sure enough, the moment the phone was picked up, Stilwell's questioning voice rang out. “Cun, tell me, why hasn’t there been any movement from my Nanyang Task Force? You told me that we can land on Luzon Island within half a month, why hasn’t there been any movement yet?” "General Stilwell, I have been busy rectifying the new recruits during this period. Most of those recruits are illiterate and do not have a thorough understanding of the art of weapons and equipment. They need enough time." Cun Yunsheng said without any panic. "Cun, I have high hopes for you. I hope you won't disappoint me. Can you tell me what's going on with the art mechanics in Changsha? Could it be that you transferred the equipment I used to equip the Nanyang Task Force and gave it to other war zones? Are the troops ready?" Stilwell's voice was very cold. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was a little surprised. Stilwell knew it so quickly. As for who leaked it, Cun Yunsheng didn’t even have to guess, he already knew who it was, it was just a few people. “No, the equipment you brought was not given to anyone.” Cun Yunsheng shook his head and explained. “General Stilwell, these weapons and equipment are all old-style equipment. As for their origin, they are sold by some arms dealers. I don’t know their origins, but I believe you will know.” Since Cun Yunsheng dared to sell weapons, he naturally had enough confidence to deal with Stilwell.  Humans die for wealth, and birds die for food. Even if a war breaks out, it will not affect those arms dealers' ability to make money. Especially those neutral countries, aren’t they the venues used by the warring countries to purchase resources? These are unspoken rules. As expected, after hearing this, Stilwell was silent for a while, and probably guessed that it was weapons and equipment sold by some arms dealers.  Because according to the news sent back by the military adviser he arranged, the equipment he sent was indeed in the hands of the Nanyang Task Force. And the new recruits are also undergoing training.  Cun Yunsheng did not deceive him.  Thinking of this, Stilwell mentioned another thing. "Inch, the Suez Canal has been dredged, and the balance of victory will soon return to the Allied side. I hope you can capture Luzon Island as soon as possible. By then, we will be able to provide more support, including what you need. There is absolutely no need for you to spend high prices on those weapons and equipment.”  Draw a big pie? A picture flashed through Cun Yunsheng's mind. That’s the boss’ crazy plan.  The same is true for Stilwell at this moment. However, it is possible to realize this big pie.

 Because as long as Luzon Island is captured, it means that the US military can indeed transport supplies to Luzon Island through the Pacific Ocean.  Even if there is a threat, there are still ways to deal with it. “General Stilwell, has the Pacific Fleet returned to its pre-war level?” Cun Yunsheng asked with a puzzled look on his face. Hearing this, Stilwell felt a little uncomfortable, but he still said it bravely. “It’s coming soon. Within a month at most, three aircraft carriers and more than ten **** aircraft carriers can be incorporated into the Pacific Fleet.” 　　His! Cun Yunsheng really had no doubts because he believed that with the strength of the US military, this could be done. Especially because of another sneak attack some time ago, Admiral Nimitz of the Pacific Fleet was very annoyed, so he asked the Navy Department to replenish a group of warships as soon as possible. He must completely eliminate the Combined Fleet. "Yes, I understand. Give me another ten days. Now that the Fourth War Zone has just captured Yangcheng, their troops will be incorporated into the Nanyang Task Force. With the addition of this elite force, it will definitely go smoothly. Take Luzon Island," Cun Yunsheng promised again. "Okay, I hope to hear good news from you. I only have one united flag here, and the number is too far back. I hope to have a second, or even a third, united flag with the numbering at the front. "Stilwell said meaningfully, and then hung up the phone. “You’re really petty.” Cun Yunsheng curled his lips. Sure enough, it was because of the alliance flag. He did misappropriate some of the weapons and equipment brought by Stilwell, but quickly replenished them through gold fingers, so the military advisers did not find anything fishy in it.  To put it bluntly, it means making a time difference.  This is why Stilwell did not dwell too much on this issue.  Otherwise, if the weapons brought by Stilwell were sold to the Ninth War Zone, this guy would definitely be angry, and the gains would outweigh the losses. After Stilwell said those last words, he understood that it was really because of the regimental flag.  “This little old man is really petty.” Lin Yi also laughed and couldn’t help but make a few remarks. “One united flag is not enough? Why do you want to get a few more? Whose number does the united flag rank first?” “It’s okay. I’ll give him a ten-sided alliance flag later and let him sleep with it every day.” Cun Yunsheng didn’t care.  “Notify the navy to get ready, it’s time to set off.” "yes."  Before this, that is to hand over the two Fletcher-class destroyers he obtained through Goldfinger to the navy. As for the reason, to be honest, he really hadn't thought about it. If it didn't work out, he just used the name of Siam and said that he bought it from the US military. No one would investigate it carefully anyway.  … "This **** is really lucky..." Outside Changsha City, Zhao He muttered as he looked at Li Yutang, who was so happy that he couldn't find anything else to do. "What did you say?" In fact, Li Yutang heard what this guy said, but now that he was in a good mood, he didn't care and deliberately pretended not to hear. "Nothing, I just want to say congratulations to you for capturing the first regiment flag on the Chinese battlefield since the Anti-Japanese War. It will definitely be famous throughout the ages." Zhao He had to compliment. No one expected that a recruit thought the cloth was of good quality and was going to take it home to sew some clothes for his wife, so he just put it in his pocket.

Later I saw boxes of captured cans at the Japanese army’s logistics point, and I thought about using this piece of cloth to pack some. When I got hungry during the march, I could use the cans to fill my stomach. Who knows, he has just finished packing and has not carried it far yet. He was discovered by Zhao He. This is a **** alliance flag.  Immediately ask where you got it from. You must know that the Sichuan Army Corps had captured a regiment flag before, so he naturally recognized it as the regiment flag. If it hadn't been for him, I guess this united flag might have been used as rags and made into clothes. After getting to know it, he found that it was really a regiment flag. Li Yutang immediately became happy. While scolding the recruits, he also asked someone to send a telegram to the theater headquarters, saying that a regiment flag had been captured.  After finishing speaking, he took out a few more coins from his pocket and rewarded the recruit with three levels in a row. Promoting directly from a recruit to a second lieutenant can be said to be an instant success.  A huge sense of happiness instantly surrounded the recruit, and he did not expect that what he carried in his pocket would be so important. “Hehe, thank you for your knowledge of the goods, otherwise, you would have been scolded by people like them, and you might just go home and make clothes.” Li Yutang thanked him sincerely this time. If Zhao He hadn't been sharp-eyed, I'm afraid this would have happened. After all, for these common people who have just put down their hoes, they don’t care what kind of union flag you are, they just think it is a good piece of cloth, and they can definitely wear it for several years when they go home and sew clothes. “Each of us will get half of the credit this time.” Li Yutang thought for a while and felt that it was unrealistic to take all the credit. After all, without the armored regiment’s charge, they would not be able to defeat the Japanese army in a short time. That is a regiment. Even if it recruits new recruits and its combat effectiveness declines, it will not be easy to deal with. "It's up to you." Zhao He didn't care. After all, he didn't capture the alliance flag by himself. It didn't matter whether he got the credit or not. He was affiliated with the Allied Forces Command, and his promotion was decided by the Allied Forces Command. "This little devil's sense of smell is really sensitive. He is just a little bit close to catching all the enemy's division headquarters." Zhao He was naturally still a little bit upset about the artillery fire on the division headquarters of the third division. It would be perfect if this could defeat the Third Division's headquarters. "Okay, don't be too greedy, kid. Being able to seize the regiment flag is considered a great achievement. Taking over the division headquarters is the icing on the cake at best. There are many lieutenant generals who died, even princes, but Is it important to have a regiment flag? "Li Yutang is not very concerned about whether he can capture the Japanese Third Division's headquarters. If it doesn't work this time, he will have a chance next time. But the regimental flag is hard to come by. Here we are still regretting that we did not take down the Japanese division headquarters. Yan Junliu received a telegram from the intelligence staff, and everyone was dumbfounded.  “The regimental flag of the 6th Infantry Regiment was captured?” “Baga, is this true?”  “Can you confirm?” “Takahashi Tao, this idiot, should commit suicide by committing seppuku.”     Oops, I got sidetracked in my writing. I forgot the previous plot. Thanks to the readers for reminding me in the group, please revise it quickly!
