Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

"Yes, I just received it and came to you!"

As he spoke, Wei Junjun handed a folder to Xu Le: "Young Marshal is the soul of the 88th Army. You should be in charge of the headquarters. Why do you want to lead the troops in person?"

Xu Le took the document and just smiled and said, "After all, it's such a long journey, I don't trust others to go!"

There are two main reasons why she personally led the troops to the battle:

The first reason is naturally because of the problem of weapons and ammunition. If he stayed at the headquarters, the ammunition for the expeditionary force would have to be slowly transported from Shanxi Province, which would waste too much time and might affect the actual combat of the troops.

After all, the first thing the 88th Army considers when fighting is fire coverage. If there is not enough ammunition, the battle time will be prolonged, which will affect the overall battle situation.

He could only follow the troops so that he could take ammunition out of the system anytime and anywhere.

Second, it can be used as a reconnaissance for the troops when they go abroad in the future.

Wei Junjun still asked with doubt: "Is there anyone that the young marshal cannot trust? Not to mention letting Minister Jiang lead, even letting Deputy Commander Wang lead the troops to the battle is fine. Why did the young marshal want to put himself in danger?"

"They are human beings, and so am I. Wouldn't it be dangerous for them to go there?"

After hearing Xu Le's words, Wei Junjun was stunned.

Your identities are different, can they be confused?

The 88th Army can do without her, Jiang Feng, and Wang Dafu, but it cannot do without Xu Le.

Does the young commander regard himself as an ordinary soldier? Will he live and die with all the soldiers?

Thinking of this, the look in her eyes when she looked at Xu Le changed slightly.

Xu Le didn't know that he was just making excuses for the system, but in Wei Junjun's eyes he became more noble.

Wei Junjun didn't care about this anymore. Just like she said just now, soldiers should obey orders. Since the young marshal had made the decision, she would not question it. She was just curious.

She changed the subject and said, "Commander Jiang originally planned to establish a new designation for our expeditionary force. Why didn't the young marshal agree and instead went to the expedition under the name of the Xu Family Army?"

After reading the telegram, Xu Le replied: "If we accept the number of the National Guard, it means that we are fighting under the orders of the National Guard, and we have to consider the National Guard and the Tang Dynasty when doing things.

The predecessor of our 88th Army was a warlord in Kang Province. Strictly speaking, he was just a local bandit, not a member of the National Guard.

In this way, even if we encounter international issues during external warfare, it will not involve the Tang Dynasty! Commander Jiang must understand this, so he allowed me to use the Xu Family Army's number! "

Wei Junjun was stunned at first, then he thought of something and said in shock: "Isn't our mission to recover the territory of Yunnan Province? There are no British troops even in Burma. Why would we get involved with foreign troops? Could it be that the young marshal wants to fight abroad and complete the mission that the expeditionary army has not completed?"

After saying this, Wei Junjun paused and said, "No, even if we enter Burma, the only foreign troops we face are the devils. We have no disputes with foreign troops. Marshal, do you want to fight further?"

Xu Le waved his hands: "I didn't say that, you said that! My appetite is not that big!"

Wei Junjun seemed unable to see the man in front of him clearly again. Ever since the Japanese invaded the Tang Dynasty in 31, the Tang Dynasty army had always been defeated in the country.

Even the expeditionary force not long ago, which could barely be considered an active attack, ended up being almost completely wiped out soon after.

Although his young commander did not admit it, if we don't count the time when the young commander was in a coma, he has been with the young commander for almost 9 months.

He understood the temper of the man in front of him. He was very imaginative in fighting. He might be fine today, but he might suddenly give the order to fight tomorrow.

He is a person who makes it hard to figure out what he is thinking.

Just now the young marshal did not deny that he wanted to fight further. Wei Junjun was sure that this time the young marshal's expedition would not be a small one, and it was very likely that he would turn the world upside down!

"By the way, I just said that Lu Shiyu has a position but no military rank. I thought about it and realized that you have a military rank but no official position. You two are exactly the opposite!"

However, as soon as Xu Le finished speaking, Wei Junjun spoke up hastily: "I want to go to the Intelligence Department, not as a deputy, but as a principal! And I will manage it in my own way, and you can't interfere!"

Xu Le was slightly stunned. This woman must have been eyeing this position for a long time.

Logically speaking, Wei Junjun came from the Military Control Commission, and his mentor was Boss Dai. Not to mention those far away, at least in the 88th Army, no one could compare to Wei Junjun in intelligence work.

The current director of the Intelligence Department is a member of the guard team. After all, he is a combat member and can only manage it with some difficulty.

With the expansion of the army and the outward extension of intelligence work, the guards were obviously unable to cope with the situation and had come to him before, asking him to find a suitable person to take over.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Le agreed. "Okay, I'll leave the Intelligence Department to you from now on. But this is not the Military Control Commission, you have to be careful about certain things and don't mess around. If you have any difficulties, ask the Political Department for help!"

It's just right, you should take over now and select a group of elites to go with us. Your intelligence department will be of great use in the future!"

"Okay, I'll do it right away!" After responding, Wei Junjun left in a hurry.

Intelligence work is extremely important in any military force, but it is also difficult to establish and cannot be completed overnight.

......

The strength of the guard has been kept at around 500 men, which can be seen as a commemoration of the former guard, but there are only 150 guards in the guard.

There are about 200 people assigned to various army units and headquarters units;

50 people were assigned to the Air Force before it was established. Later, when new soldiers were recruited, 200 flight cadets were recruited. These people were different from the pilots sent by the National Guard. They had no experience, so another 25 people were selected to help.

50 people were transferred to the Navy Department which had not yet been established. However, because naval ships were too complicated and the technologies such as radar and missiles on them were difficult to teach, basically one instructor could only be responsible for a few naval soldiers. There were simply not enough instructors, so 25 more people were transferred there not long ago.

Of course, given the incompatibility of Ren Woxing and Bai Shiyi's temperaments, the current Commander-in-Chief of the Navy is Ren Woxing on the surface, but in reality is Bai Shiyi.

6 month 20 day.

In the morning, the 176st Armored Regiment of the 1th Armored Division, led by Zhu Zhaolan, boarded the train at Linfen Railway Station first, and all tanks were transported by train.

In the afternoon, the 1st Mechanized Infantry Regiment of the division also boarded the train under the leadership of Lin Jingyan and rushed to the front battlefield.

As the saying goes, food and supplies must be sent before the army moves. Zhu Xiaoping also led a food transport team to Kunming to prepare for battle.

The flight distance between Shanxi Province and Kunming is 1500 kilometers, but Datang's transportation is backward and there is no direct train from Linfen to Kunming. It is necessary to change the marching mode many times along the way, and it takes about 2500 kilometers to reach Kunming.

The first step is to start from Linfen, cross the Fenglingdu Bridge, and head west along the Longhai Railway in Tongguan to the terminus of Baoji Station.

Then everyone got off the bus and headed south along the highway, passing through Fengxian County, Baocheng County, Ningqiang County and other places, entering the territory of Guangyuan County in Sichuan Province, and heading south all the way to Chengdu.

The troops boarded the train again in Chengdu, turned south in Neijiang via the Chengdu-Chongqing Railway, and took the Xuzhou-Kunming Railway to enter Dayuan Station in Yunnan Province, then headed east into Guizhou Province, and then turned into Xuanwei County in Yunnan Province from Weining County in Guizhou Province, and then passed through Zhanyi County, Malan County and other places, and finally arrived at the administrative center of Yunnan Province: Kunming.
