Chapter 780 General Du is also a student of Huangpu
Defense Minister: "Huh, isn't Song Wenwan relying on his own power now?
You see, he is getting more and more outrageous now, and wants to get involved in everything."
The Minister of Military and Political Affairs cannot think like this, because the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is from his own faction.
He didn't want them to get into trouble because of the expeditionary force's defeat in Burma.
"Director Xiong, does Officer Song have any suggestions?"
Director Xiong: "Commander Song asked in the telegram whether we have decided to go through Yeren Mountain.
He has prepared 36,000 sets of combat uniforms specifically for use in tropical rainforests.
There are also various tools and medicines for logging and river crossing used when crossing the Savage Mountain.
Commander Song said that as long as the government approved, he could use airborne delivery.
In this way, the supplies can be delivered directly to the Chinese Expeditionary Force without going through the hands of the British.
He could even airdrop a troop to guide the expeditionary force back to the border."
The Minister of Military and Political Affairs was somewhat moved. This Commander Song was really amazing. He would really help his own people when they were in trouble.
After a while, Master Xiong returned to his office in high spirits.
Minister of Military Affairs: "How is it? Has the higher-ups agreed?"
Director Xiong nodded: "The higher-ups have approved the invitation from the Eighth Route Army, as well as Commander Song's suggestion.
Because the discussion this time was about economic issues, the Minister of Finance went to Zhaojiayu in person to contact them.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force will continue to take the Yeren Mountain route, but the coordinates can be reported to the Gannan Air Force.
They airdropped supplies and provided various supplements to the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
As for the airdrop troops, if possible, we can send out a guide force of less than 100 people."
The Minister of Military and Political Affairs breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the higher-ups agreed, everything would be fine.
That's a force of nearly 36,000 people, all of them are direct descendants of the Central Army.
He felt sad just thinking about the loss in the tropical rain forest of Myanmar.
However, the minds of the bigwigs in the attendant room are still as meticulous as ever.
They only wanted supplies and not people, because they were afraid that Song Wenwan would take the opportunity to seize the expeditionary force's power.
Even for the guide troops, they only dared to ask for less than a hundred soldiers. They were really cunning.
They were not made to wait any longer. As soon as the telegram from the attendant's office was sent out, the Eighth Route Army Headquarters and Song Wenwan both sent back telegrams to the attendant's office.
Director Xiong: "The Eighth Route Army Headquarters has agreed that the Minister of Finance can go on the trip accompanied by the head of the Eighth Office.
They can transfer from Longshui to Kenanpo and then take the land route to Zhaojiayu.
Song Wenwan also called the attendant's office back and agreed to the number of people required.
In addition, Commander Song has organized a special forces team of 100 people to join the expeditionary force in Myanmar.
Commander Song also said that he had invited Honorary Brigadier General McDu from the United States.
And the small force that landed in Savage Mountain will also be directly commanded by Maikedu."
"Well, it's still Chief Song who is so righteous!"
Defense Minister: "You think you are being righteous by hiring an American brigadier general? It seems that Jingzhi still loves Commander Du very much!"
The Minister of Defense was unhappy when he heard this. Aren’t you saying that I want to form cliques and small groups?
Do you think that all the American brigadier generals are cheap cabbages and we can hire any of them?
If it weren't for Brigadier General McDu, who had a deep connection with Song Wenwan, there was no way she could have asked him to help.
Minister of Military Affairs: "Please be careful with your words, Commander Du is a student of Huangpu.
He is also the head of the Party-State, and the Expeditionary Force is also the expeditionary force of the Party-State.
The reason they failed in this battle against the Japanese invaders was not because they were not brave enough, but because they had too many constraints.
The British only used our expeditionary force as cannon fodder, while the American envoys compromised and did not care about the lives of our brothers at all.
Now, with McDu's identity, we can at least avoid the British's blind command."
After they finished discussing in the attendant room, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs became more cautious.
He did not tell the expeditionary force's front-line command the whole story.
Instead, he secretly informed Commander Du in code and waited for his news.
The next night, two C-119 transport planes from Gannan took off under the escort of the Mustang Squadron.
The plane carrying McDu and a hundred special forces took off from Longshui and headed straight for Kunming.
After refueling in Kunming, they headed straight for the designated area above Savage Mountain.
Because of their good confidentiality system, the fighters on the ground did not notice until McDu started the airborne operation.
When they arrived at the drop site, they saw Commander Du and McDu shaking hands there.
As the C-119 transport plane returned, the sky gradually darkened.
Then, a scene that shocked Commander Du appeared.
The roar of airplanes could be heard faintly in the sky, and then a large amount of supplies fell from the sky with white parachutes.
McDu said: "Please rest assured, Commander Du, the first batch of airdropped supplies has arrived.
They are mainly medicines, and some necessary tools for us when crossing the Savage Mountain.
Then the senior generals of the National Army Expeditionary Force finally opened their eyes.
A one-piece military uniform with steel plates inlaid on the soles and high-top military boots covered with steel mesh.
Mesh mosquito nets, steel cables for crossing rivers, and electric saws for cutting trees.
There were also large bundles of dry batteries wrapped in plastic bags, which were specially used for high-power radio stations.
What’s also peculiar is that they also airdropped two small cranes.
There is really nothing they can't bring, except what you can't think of.
If necessary, call their commander Song Wenwan for airdrop.
What they could not understand the most was that the largest amount of supplies Song Wenwan airlifted were military supplies such as explosives.
At dawn the next morning, the soldiers of the expeditionary force were still preparing to set off three days later.
Then I heard a loud explosion in the woods not far away.
After a brief panic, the Kuomintang soldiers finally calmed down.
It turned out that it was Maikedu and his special forces team who were blowing up trees over there.
After a while, Major Taylor, the liaison officer from the British Army, who was drunk the night before, came to the door.
"Oh my god, General Du, are you really monkeys? Do you really want to cross the Savage Mountain?"
He said this without caring at all about what would happen to the self-esteem of the Chinese general in front of him.
The Burmese translator also looked down on the Chinese and translated it word for word to the Chinese general of the expeditionary force.
Looking at the Chinese generals with red faces and thick necks, the British major raised his chin proudly, appearing very proud of himself.
Mocking generals who bully the Chinese has become a daily routine for British officers.
Even if Joseph was the only one left here, he would still repeat this honor tirelessly.
Suddenly, a gunshot was heard, and the Burmese translator fell in a pool of blood with blood oozing from his forehead.
I saw McDu with a ferocious face, who had transformed into Du Maike and walked over with a gun.
Commander Du had ignored Taylor for a long time. When he saw McDulk shot and killed the translator, he felt extremely happy.
Now he saw that Taylor was about to shoot, and he was afraid that McDull would suffer.
General Du gave his guard a subtle look.
His guard was also a ruthless man. He took out his gun and put it at his waist, ready to fire at any time.
General Du has already thought it through this time. They are the only two outsiders here.
Now that one has been killed, he doesn't care about killing the other.
