(I repeat, this is a fantasy war novel. The novel sets up a new world structure. Otherwise, the Sichuan Army in history would not be a match for Old Jiang.) In addition, there was a Bug in the previous article. The annual steel production of the United States was about 40 to 50 million tons. In the end, it was written as 500 million tons. Please understand!）
The Jinsha River was extremely turbid. It did not have the surging momentum of the Yellow River, nor did it have the pleasant scenery of the Yangtze River.
The two provinces were separated by a river. On one side was the land of Sichuan and on the other was Yunzhou, which was like spring all year round.
There was no bridge to cross the river, and there was no time to prepare enough boats. A vanguard team crossed the river first, then used thick ropes to form horizontal locks. Finally, the soldiers pulled the ropes to cross the horizontal ditch.
"Old Master, the Young Marshal has finally grown up!”
"Yeah, I can finally smile in the afterlife. One day, he would have to hand over his position as the chairman of the National Government. One day, our men will fight our way to the home of the Japanese invaders."One day, the blood debts owed by the western invaders will definitely be paid back by our Chinese descendants!”
At this point, Liu Xiang, who was standing by the river bank, could not help but shout,"The Sichuan army is invincible! If the enemy is not eliminated, I swear not to return to Shu! Kill!"
As soon as Liu Xiang finished speaking, the Sichuan soldiers who were crossing the river or had already crossed the river all echoed loudly,"Kill! Kill! Kill…"
After crossing the Jinsha River, Liu Zheng was able to confirm the exact location of Xie Zhiguo and the others under the supervision of the Cosmic Monarch.
The regiment led by Xie Zhiguo was still 50 kilometers away from Eagle Stronghold. After resting for a while, Xie Zhiguo would secretly set up defenses around Eagle Stronghold.
Liu Zheng was very sure of Long Deng's current situation. Therefore, there was no need for them to waste time in Eagle Stronghold.
Summoning the radio station soldiers, Liu Zheng sent a message to Xie Zhiguo, ordering him to lead the team and sneak into the Cloud Region's capital, Spring City, as fast as possible.
Yunzhou was a place where ethnic minorities gathered. The population in the territory was less than 9 million. In addition, Baldy Jiang had never paid attention to this place before.
Therefore, Yunzhou was several grades poorer than Shudu.
If there was no road, they would have to cross the mountains and forests. After entering the forest, the team almost never stopped to rest. They even ate as they walked.
As the saying goes,'A good man doesn't become a soldier.'
Why?
Because in this era, many soldiers were poor people who could not afford to eat.
The children of the poor are the masters of the house. Because of this, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army could endure more hardships than Old Jiang's Central Army.
No matter how hard it was or how tired he was, he would endure it. If he really couldn't hold it in, he would howl twice and then continue moving forward.
If someone was accidentally injured, the soldiers would automatically help their injured teammates forward without Liu Zheng's reminder.
Liu Zheng sent out a thought instructor to each unit. One of the principles he promoted was: "Don't abandon, don't give up. A comrade is a brother. After going to the battlefield, I won't hesitate to block bullets for my comrade!”
Liu Zheng repeatedly emphasized the importance of education."His decision has already played a certain role!”
One of the reasons why the western countries looked down on the Chinese troops was that: "The quality of the citizens is generally low."
This was the truth. Liu Zheng would never deny it, but he believed it."As long as we persevere, China's army will definitely become a world-class team one day!”
After 12 hours, the team was still 90 kilometers away from Eagle Stronghold.
"Marshal, have some water…"
"Senior Brother Li, I'm really sorry. You've only been here for two days and I'm already asking you to follow me through the mountains and ridges…"
"Marshal, what are you saying? Not to mention anything else, just the young and old men in this team, I, Li Yuhai, am convinced!”
Li Yuhai was a rough person. After interacting with Liu Zheng for the past few days, he admired Liu Zheng from the bottom of his heart.
Li Yuhai originally thought that Liu Zheng, who had status and status, would definitely have all kinds of shortcomings and dregs.
However, Li Yuhai only had one thought in his mind."Liu Zheng lives a thrifty and frugal life. He was serious about official business and exhausted his mind. His knowledge was superb and extraordinary!”
After a while, the team continued forward.
Under the cover of the night, the soldiers did not light any torches. With the few flashlights, the soldiers held each other's hands and advanced step by step.
The winter night was very cold, but almost all the soldiers were sweating.
The primeval forest at night was a world of poisonous insects and beasts, but Liu Zheng and the others were associated with the beasts.
Listening to the roars of the black blind men and the howls of the wolves, the young and old men of the 09th division began to practice the military songs. The military songs that Liu Zheng had personally written and then spread from the 8th army to all the Sichuan troops.
The song was loud and clear, and it was full of confidence. If Baldy Jiang knew about it, who knew what he would think?
Anyway, Liu Zheng said in his heart,""In the near future, the momentum of the Sichuan army will definitely sweep across the entire Yangtze River!”
Stepping on the morning dew and watching the sky brighten, the sun rose the next day.
Four hours before the scheduled time, Liu Zheng and his group were already close to Eagle Stronghold.
In other words, Liu Zheng's group only took 32 hours to complete the 150-mile mountain road in the jungle.
Other than the vision provided by Universe Thearch, there was one thing that was beyond doubt."Not a single soldier in the 09th Division has diarrhea!”
Eagle Stronghold, the hometown where Long Deng had made his fortune, was a small town where the Miao, Yi, Tujia, and more than a dozen other ethnic minorities gathered!
"Reporting, reporting to the leader…"
"What happened?"
"M-Leader, we're surrounded. There's a black mass of people all around us. It seems to be the Sichuan army…"
"What is it? The Sichuan army has surrounded Eagle Stronghold?”
As he muttered, Long Deng, who was sitting on the main seat, almost fainted from fright.
In a daze, Long Deng thought that Liu Zheng wanted to attack him.
Walking out of the room, Long Deng looked around and saw the dense mass of Sichuan soldiers surrounding Eagle Stronghold. He subconsciously said,""That f * cking Liu Zheng is deliberately trying to intimidate me!”
"Put down your weapons immediately, or we'll shoot…"
"What a joke. Why don't you take a look at the situation? You're like turtles cooked in a pot now. We can beat you into a hornet's nest at any time…"
"Hmph, then you guys try…"
At the scene, a woman dressed in Yi clothing led hundreds of people to block the entrance of the village.
Because Long Deng was of Yi origin, nearly half of the people in the village were Yi.
Judging from everyone's attire, Liu Zheng secretly guessed,""I think Long Deng has never forgotten his roots. With his secret funding, almost all the men, women, and children in Eagle Stronghold are martial artists!”
In the Dian army, the Yi soldiers were known for their bravery and good fighting.
In his memory, during the modern wars on Earth, when the Yunnan army fought against the Japanese invaders, the latter even called the Yunnan army 'barbarian soldiers' or 'monkey soldiers.'
This meant that the Yi soldiers in the Dian army were very brave in battle.
Even Black Tiger Zhang Chong was a Yi!
In addition, the Yi soldiers also had a respectable characteristic, which was: "We are united and never abandon our comrades.”
"I say, nephew, uncle is just meeting you. Why do you have to make such a big fuss? Do you think Uncle will betray you?”
As the voice spread, Long Deng came to the scene with a group of personal guards.
As Long Deng waved his hand, all the men, women, and children in the village put down their weapons.
"Uncle Long, you've misunderstood. Nephew isn't putting on a show. I'm just here to give you soldiers. As long as Uncle Long gives the order, other than the two elite groups present, the group led by Xie Zhiguo will already be close to Spring City…"
Upon hearing Liu Zheng's words, Long Deng's heart was immediately filled with waves."What a fast speed. Is Liu Zheng trying to attack Clouds Region?”
"Nephew's speed is important in war, uncle admires. Ah Duo, come over and greet your cousin Liu Zheng…"
"Father, he, he is Commander Liu of the Sichuan Army?”
"Hmm?"
"Oh, I was just saying, isn't he a little too young?”
So the woman leading the group was actually Long Deng's biological daughter.
"Yun Duo greets Older Brother Liu. If I offended you just now, please forgive me…"
"It's fine. It's just that we've traveled all the way here and didn't care about eating or drinking hot water…"
When Liu Zheng finished speaking, Long Deng immediately said sensibly,""Everyone, go home and cook. The Sichuan soldiers are our friends. Everyone must treat them like family.”
Long Deng had a lot of prestige in the village. After he said that, the people at the scene dispersed.
"Brothers, what are the Three Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention of the Sichuan Army? Tell me loudly!"
"Three rules: Don't take a needle or a thread from the masses, and return everything seized to the public. Eight points to note: speak amicably, trade fairly; If you borrow something, you have to return it. He did not beat people or curse people, did not damage crops, and did not harm crops. He would not molest women or abuse captives! Regarding the issue of prisoners, if they were Japanese invaders, the Sichuan Army would not take any prisoners!”
After listening to more than 6,000 people reciting the Three Rules of Discipline and the Eight Points for Attention, Long Deng was a little dumbfounded. The villagers in Eagle Stronghold were puzzled and incredulous.
"Miss Yunduo, here are 10 small yellow croakers. It's not much money. Please give our Sichuan army meals according to this standard. It's good as long as we can eat half full and drink a mouthful of hot water.”
Without waiting for Yun Duo to react, Liu Zheng took the initiative to come in front of Long Deng.
"Uncle Long, let's go to the village for a walk…"
"Alright, let's go then…"
Before today, Long Deng had always had doubts about the strength of Liu Zheng and the Sichuan Army. However, after the series of unbelievable experiences, Long Deng no longer had any doubts.
Not long after, Long Deng personally acted as a guide and brought Liu Zheng around Eagle Stronghold.
"My dear nephew, the situation is extremely unstable now. If Old Jiang doesn't do anything, Northern Hubei will be in danger, and Southern Hunan will be in danger. In the future, the throat of Yiling will fall into the hands of the Sichuan army.”
The two lakes, which were the northern part of Hubei and southern Hunan, were the most prosperous areas of agriculture in China, and also the guarantee of food for the southwestern region.
The Japanese invaders were scheming, and everyone knew about it. Their intention was to take down the two lakes and then occupy the food, thus cutting off the food supply of the Great Southwest.
This battle would definitely be fought, and it was right before their eyes.
If Baldy Jiang didn't care, then the Sichuan army would definitely go to the front line and shoulder the responsibility of guarding Yiling.
This way, Baldy Jiang would be able to free up at least 400,000 to 500,000 soldiers from the Central Army.
"Uncle Long, I don't dare to speak nonsense, but as long as there is a soldier left in the Sichuan Army, the Japanese invaders will not be able to set foot in Yiling! The Sichuan Army currently does not have tanks, aircraft, or sufficient heavy artillery and artillery shells. However, the infantry is definitely capable of fighting the Japanese invaders…"
"Hmm? Old Jiang was indeed somewhat incompetent, and his strategic intentions were very conservative. If he continued to fight like this, the Great Southwest region would sooner or later be divided between the United States and the Sun Never Sets Empire. My nephew's opinion is similar to mine. However, the Dian Army has fewer troops and outdated weapons. Now, they have been torn apart by Old Jiang. They are just short of changing their names!”
Long Deng had the intention to rebel against Jiang, but he lacked confidence.
"The two armies 'Mi equipment, 200 heavy machine guns, 1 million rounds of ammunition, 300 mortars and heavy artillery, 50,000 rounds each. "As long as Uncle Long agrees, all the weapons and equipment will be transported into Yunzhou immediately. After the Yunnan-Myanmar highway is opened, the Yunnan and Sichuan armies will gradually take down Qianzhou, then consolidate the defense of the two lakes, and finally force Baldy Jiang to take the initiative to retreat from the mountain city…"
This was Liu Zheng's strategic intention. The conditions he offered were very generous. Now, it would depend on whether Long Deng had the courage to do so.
Of course, if Long Deng still had some awareness of the Chinese people in his heart, he would definitely not refuse.
