A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 260 Letter of Appointment

He rescued a Dong Dao on the way and also gave him an extra Dong Jian, but this Dong Jian was still a wounded soldier and needed treatment.

With the help of Lu Cheng's life-saving grace, Dong Dao did not hesitate to bring his brother to join Lu Cheng's team.

After providing temporary treatment to all the wounded, Lu Cheng sent out some scouts to the expeditionary force in the front to conduct some inquiries and confirmed that the expeditionary force in front had not been attacked by the Japanese army recently.

It seems that the wave of Japanese soldiers that were just wiped out should be the Japanese scout troops.

Since there are no Japanese soldiers ahead for the time being, there is no need for the assault troops to rush to the front to clear the way. They can just move forward along the path taken by the defeated soldiers.

Lu Cheng immediately ordered everyone to rest, and during the break, he asked the medical team to set up a simple ward and perform surgery on the seriously injured. He also asked the medical team members to assist and learn.

After all, Lu Cheng is the leader of a team. It is impossible for him to be a military doctor every day. He also needs to train and recruit a group of qualified military doctors to ensure logistical medical care.

After treating all the seriously injured and handing over the lightly injured to the medical team, Lu Cheng and the commandos went to rest.

The next morning, the team continued to advance, with Long Wenjian walking in front, responsible for clearing the way and recruiting the defeated soldiers.

Lu Cheng and the commandos walked at the end of the team, responsible for covering their retreat.

Even though the enemies in front are gone, there may be new enemies chasing us from behind, so we still cannot let our guard down.

Of course, as this team grows larger and larger, even if more Japanese soldiers catch up with them, they will never dare to provoke them easily.

Just as Lu Cheng and his team were passing through the jungle and approaching the Nujiang River, the name Lu Cheng had already appeared in newspapers of many Allied countries.

Even the most authoritative and oldest newspaper in the UK, The Times, put Lu Cheng's photo on the front page, telling the story of how Lu Cheng led a team to heroically rescue Allied friends, single-handedly killed dozens of Japanese soldiers, and led a battalion of troops to defend the airport and wiped out the invading enemy. After the battle, he also picked up a scalpel to save many lives.

This series of stories includes the entire process of Lu Cheng's operation from boarding the plane to Myanmar to leaving the airport.

I have to say that this experience is indeed legendary and eye-catching enough.

High in the sky, a transport plane without any protection or weapons encountered a fighter plane of the Japanese devils. Lu Cheng was able to assist the pilot in completing an emergency landing, saving the lives of everyone on the plane. He also led a group of unarmed soldiers with only a pair of shorts to fight their way out of the encirclement and arrive at the airport...

What followed was an even more legendary rescue operation and ridiculously strong combat power.

The entire front page of the Times was devoted to Lu Cheng's story, and there were several photos of Lu Cheng, including the photo of Lu Cheng carrying darkness and facing the light after he rescued international friends in the church, the photo of Lu Cheng directing operations and shooting, the photo of Lu Cheng performing surgery on seriously wounded soldiers, the photo of Lu Cheng being lifted up and thrown into the sky by soldiers laughing, and so on.

It also quoted Catherine's emotional description: "In uniform, he is a warrior who strikes the enemy to protect peace. In uniform, he is an angel in white who faces death to protect life. He said that if there were no war, he would be the best surgeon who could save countless lives.

But now the war has come, he must pick up the steel gun to protect more lives and bring peace to the millions of families behind him. He loves life and respects life. He is a soldier and a hero! "

A certain American journalist also wrote: "In him, I saw the hope of victory in the war. I understood that failure is only temporary, and evil will never defeat justice."

A Chinese overseas in Nanyang also wrote: "If all Chinese soldiers were like Major Lu, why would we worry about the Japanese invaders not being destroyed?"

Not only were there newspaper reports, but representatives from various parties also expressed their gratitude to the Chinese side. A senior British financial official even expressed his gratitude to both the Allied Command and the Chinese government.

The war is not going well at the moment. The Allied forces have lost the Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam and other places. A large number of Allied soldiers have retreated and surrendered, which is also a big blow to the morale of the entire Allied forces.

It is also for this reason that the previous Battle of Yenangyaung has been played in a loop and widely publicized, and General Sun has been widely reported by Western media.

Of course, there is another very important reason why General Sun is so favored by the Western media. General Sun graduated from the Virginia Military Academy in the United States and received Western military education.

In this way, General Sun was able to achieve victory, which also earned face for the United States.

If General Sun had not studied in the West, he would not have been honored so grandly even if he had won a battle.

This is like a country bumpkin who is better than some highly educated students in some aspects. Naturally, those highly educated students will feel unbalanced.

Correspondingly, Lu Cheng also had experience studying in the West. Although he attended a military academy in Nazi Germany, he was on the same level as those senior generals in the West.

Therefore, many newspapers also highlighted Lu Cheng's experience of studying in the West.

However, no matter what, Lu Cheng became famous this time. His name appeared directly in front of senior military officials, on the desk of a school principal, and in front of Allied Commander-in-Chief Stilwell and Luo Zhuoying.

With so many big shots paying attention to him, Lu Cheng's future can be imagined.

In fact, because of Lu Cheng, the military's work efficiency has improved a lot.

Before Lu Cheng and his team reached the Nujiang River, the military's latest letter of commission had already been delivered to the river. The military's special envoy also stayed in Zenda patiently, waiting for Lu Cheng's return.

When some are happy, some are sad, but human joys and sorrows are not shared.

Some details that appeared in the Times also caught the attention of the principal: "Why did our expeditionary soldiers only wear a pair of shorts when they went abroad? When Major Lu was still cooperating with the Allied forces, where was his superior? Did he treat these people as cannon fodder? Who can tell me why this happened?"

"Principal, according to our investigation, Major Lu's superior was Yu Xiaoqing, the son of Army Commander Yu. During the battle in Burma, Yu Xiaoqing's Sichuan Army did not fire a single shot. After receiving the equipment from the Allied Forces, they returned directly. As for Lu Cheng and his men, they were probably used as cannon fodder from the beginning."

Upon hearing this, the principal frowned and said, "So he is his son. No wonder he is so petty. It seems that the Yu family wants to turn the country's army into theirs."

"Principal, what do you think we should do with Captain Yu Xiaoqing?"

"He's just a small regiment commander, let's put him aside for now. As for Lu Cheng, send someone to investigate him carefully. If there's no problem with his background, we must make good use of him. The Allied Command has mentioned him by name, so we have to show our appreciation as well. I think we should promote him to colonel and give him the Sichuan Army Corps number."

"Yes, the principal is smart!"

In terms of military command, the principal, a master of micro-management, is at most at the level of a regiment commander.

But when it comes to political struggles and balancing the forces of all parties, his level is not simple.

What would Yu Xiaoqing think if he knew that the Sichuan Army Corps number that he had worked so hard to obtain was taken away by one of his subordinates, and that his subordinate was now on equal footing with him?
