Chapter 244 Getting ready to board the plane

Xiaozui, who exhausted herself, didn't know that everything she did was in vain. For a top old Chinese medicine practitioner, there are many ways and means to prevent pregnancy.

Before the war is truly over, Lu Cheng doesn't want Xiaozui to give birth to and raise the child alone. That would be too dangerous, and Lu Cheng is also worried.

After comforting Xiaozui and resting for a night, Lu Cheng returned to the refugee shelter early.

Not long after, Zhang Lixian, the battalion commander of the special forces battalion under Yu Xiaoqing, and He Shuguang, the company commander, brought some people to conduct conscription inspection and registration.

It was called an inspection, but in fact, as long as they were not missing any limbs, they were basically registered directly. Anyway, this group of people were used as cannon fodder and were sent directly over. They acted completely separately from Yu Xiaoqing's main force.

In the original drama, Yu Xiaoqing simply led the team across the river, took a stroll, and without firing a single shot, he took the equipment given by the Americans and turned back to his hometown.

As for this group of cannon fodder, they were simply troops thrown over to deal with requests for reinforcements from the rear.

However, having said that, if Lu Cheng really had to bring people to follow Yu Xiaoqing, Lu Cheng would not be happy about it.

By that time, the Japanese were frantically pursuing the British Army and the Expeditionary Force. The battle line behind them was very long, with scattered small groups of Japanese. There were also many supply points left by the British and Americans that had not been destroyed in time. It was definitely a good opportunity to pick up some supplies.

Compared with the front, the rear is better. There are Japanese to fight, equipment to obtain, and merits to be achieved, which is more conducive to development.

"Li Sifu, Second Heavy Gun Company of the Sichuan Army, Corporal!"

"Kang Huojian from Datong, Shanxi. He has fought in wars. He was a warrant officer deputy platoon leader in the transportation battalion of the 17th Reorganization Division."

"Gu Xiaomai, from Baoding, Hebei, a private in the baggage battalion of the newly formed 51st Division. He fought in wars but never went to school..."

"I think you are only fifteen or sixteen at most. How come you have become a private first class?"

"Sir, I am already 19 years old and have been a soldier for 5 years."

"Go down."

……

When it was Li Liansheng's turn, Milong, who was sitting next to him, could not bear it any longer: "Li Wula, you are the only one who is still winning. Your father named you to scold you. You are not a winning streak. You, you have killed so many people. You have killed our entire row! What are you going to do? To harm others?"

Even though Milong pointed at his nose and scolded him, Li Liansheng still did not refute anything, but just firmly read out his name: "Li Liansheng, second lieutenant platoon leader of the Northeast Army, hometown is Jinzhou, Liaoning. I have fought in the war."

In fact, after six months of training, Li Liansheng has been reborn. He has learned from his mistakes and regained his fighting spirit. He vowed to avenge his brothers.

"You've lost many battles! Many masters couldn't find your paper money. I think you're a spy. Damn it, can you salute? You can't even stand straight!"

Milong was still cursing. Although he usually liked to bully Li Liansheng, he would always give him a bite to eat when Li Liansheng was about to starve to death.

After all, in this defeated army camp, Li Liansheng is Milong's only fellow villager.

In the original drama, Long Wenjian once said that for soldiers who died outside, being able to be buried with their fellow villagers was also a return home.

Although Milong hated Li Liansheng, he also regarded Li Liansheng as his own home. He didn't want to watch Li Liansheng leave him and go to a foreign country to fight, and there was a possibility that he would never come back.

There were a total of 80 soldiers preparing to join the war. After completing the registration, they began a simple training session.

Just at this time, an exciting news came from the front line, and the radio began to play a loop of a great victory achieved by the expeditionary force on the front line.

"…The Japanese army invaded and occupied the north and south of Pinqiang River with the strength of two regiments. Our expeditionary soldiers fought bravely and bloodily, drove the Japanese army out of Yenangyaung, and rescued more than 7000 British allied troops…"

After the news of the victory in Yenangyaung came back, it greatly boosted people's morale and made the soldiers who were about to go to Myanmar to fight very excited.

In fact, this great victory was not as exaggerated as publicized in the broadcast. It was just that both the British troops who were chased everywhere by the Japanese and the Chinese side urgently needed a great victory to boost morale.

As a result, this victory was widely spread after being exaggerated. Some Western newspapers even called this victory the second Dunkirk evacuation, and General Sun was also called the Eastern Rommel.

Rommel was the Field Marshal of Nazi Germany and the number one general under the Führer Hitler. This also shows the Western media's approval of General Sun.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Cheng and others were appointed as officers at all levels. Lu Cheng remained as the major battalion commander, A Yi was the major deputy battalion commander, Meng Fanle was the company commander, Li Liansheng and Kang Huojian became platoon leaders.

Lu Cheng and others were now organized and were no longer a group of guerrillas.

Seeing that everyone was training in full swing and were about to leave, Milong, a man from the Northeast, finally couldn't sit still anymore. What would be the point if he was the only one left in the shelter after everyone left?

After all, we have eaten from the same pot and slept in the same room, so there is still some affection between us.

So, Milong took the initiative to find Lu Cheng: "Captain Lu, let's discuss something. Can you take me with you? I also want to go to Myanmar with you."

Lu Cheng laughed: "I asked you to come earlier, but you didn't come. Now you regret it."

"How about this? As long as you take me with you, I'll give you all the goods in this room."

"Okay, since you're so sincere, I'll count you as one."

"Okay, that's a deal, you can't regret it."

There were indeed a lot of goods in Milong's small warehouse, including more than 200 military canned goods, as well as clocks, radios, medicines, bacon, military uniforms, watches, etc.

Lu Cheng asked people to sell some unused clocks, radios and other items, and had food and medicines transported out and quietly transferred to the storage space. He also sent some food to Chen Xiaozui.

Of course, Lu Cheng also left enough money and supplies for Chen Xiaozui.

Afterwards, Lu Cheng directly incorporated Milong into his team without even bothering to say hello to Zhang Lixian.

Anyway, Zhang Lixian and his people don’t take this group of cannon fodder seriously. It doesn’t matter if there is one more or one less person, or if a few are replaced.

The superiors had originally planned to train this group of people for 20 days and then send them to Myanmar by plane. However, a continuous heavy rain delayed Lu Cheng and others for another week.

Almost a month later, when Lu Cheng and others were preparing to set off, the British troops in Burma had already retreated towards India. The expeditionary force in Burma was also directly abandoned by the allies and left behind to cover the retreat, becoming a barrier to prevent the Japanese from pursuing the British army.

Moreover, those British gentlemen were very disloyal. They ran away without even saying goodbye, putting the expeditionary force into an extremely passive situation.

The soldiers who were preparing to set off at this time did not know that the situation on the front line had quietly reversed. The so-called great victory had become a thing of the past, and they were just being used as cannon fodder.

Of course, although Lu Cheng knew all this, he would not say it out loud. For Lu Cheng, this was a perfect opportunity to take advantage of the situation and make a fortune.

In the original drama, Long Wenjian was able to gather a group on the way of fleeing. Lu Cheng will definitely not be any worse.

The regiment assembled by Long Wenjian was basically wiped out at Nantianmen, leaving behind more than 1000 corpses, and in the end only a dozen people escaped.

Lu Cheng is fully confident that he can rescue more people and also has the confidence to build up his own team.

At the airport, a group of soldiers looked at the huge transport plane in front of them and talked about it: "Wow, it's so big! I have never seen an airplane up close in my life."

"Look, there's a picture of an American girl without clothes on the plane."

"Isn't he wearing clothes? He has shorts and a vest."

"What's the difference between that and having no clothes on? Really..."

A group of people were talking about it, but they didn't move their eyes away. They stared at the portrait on the plane and commented on it.

Seeing this, Lu Cheng shouted, "Alright, you all look like you have never seen the world. Hurry up and line up. When we get over there, I will take you to eat good food and use good things."

"Yes, battalion commander!"

Soon, a major officer in charge of the handover came over and said, "Everyone, take off your clothes, leaving only your underpants. When you get there, the British will give you clothes and the Americans will give you guns. There's no need to go in your clothes."

No one took any action, but turned to look at Lu Cheng, waiting for his instructions.

The major also looked at Lu Cheng. Seeing that Lu Cheng was also wearing a major's uniform, he asked, "Are you their superior?"

Lu Cheng nodded: "Good. Everyone, take off your clothes!"

"Yes!"

The next moment, all the soldiers took off their clothes without hesitation, leaving only their shorts, but still stood straight.

Seeing this, the major felt a little respect in his heart and said politely: "After taking off your clothes, hurry up and get on the plane."

Lu Cheng didn't take off his clothes, he was fully armed, with the box gun hanging on his waist, and waved his hand: "Get on board!"

The next moment, the soldiers lined up and divided into two teams in an orderly manner and boarded two planes respectively.

Lu Cheng was the last one to board the plane, and it was the plane with more main members of the cannon fodder group.

This time, Lu Cheng brought a total of eighty people, divided into two platoons, and flew to Myanmar on two transport planes.

The two planes were C46 transport planes of the United States. The standard number of passengers should be 28, but at this time there were people on board.

Fortunately, these soldiers were very thin. Basically, the combined weight of three of them was equivalent to the weight of two Americans...
