Chapter 378 Garrison Zazawa
ps: There are still a few hundred words left, and we are hurrying up
Hongwu forbids the sea, Longqing switches, and Qianlong has a trade ...... Whatever the reason, the policy of closing the country to the outside world eventually brought the dignified Celestial Empire into a situation where the people were poor and the country was weak.
Since the Opium War, China has been poor and weak, and finally became a piece of fat in the eyes of the great powers.
But, it turns out, China is weak, but the Chinese cannot be bullied!
The ambitions of the Japanese invaders have been repeatedly thwarted by the stubborn resistance of the Chinese military and people, and the Japanese invaders, who had vainly attempted to "destroy China in March," have been fighting the land of China for more than four years, but they have been unable to move an inch.
It is true that the Japanese invasion of China is the suffering of the Chinese nation, but is it also an opportunity for the Chinese nation to stand up again?
A nation that has not experienced suffering cannot become a great nation, a nation that has not experienced suffering cannot become a great nation, and a country that has not experienced suffering cannot become a great nation!
After the four-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese military and civilians interpreted the indomitable spirit of the Chinese nation with their blood and lives.
As a result, the Chinese theater was established, and China was among the first signatories of the UN Declaration.
However, after all, China has been weak for a hundred years, and the image of China's weakness has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the world...... Although China's status in the international community has improved, it has not yet reached the point where it can compete with Britain and the United States.
Therefore, the chairman of the committee would appoint General Stilwell as the supreme commander of the expeditionary force.
In the opinion of the chairman, with this American in the center and coordination, the expeditionary force and the Anglo-Burmese army will be able to better cooperate together.
In the beginning, things did go in the direction that the Chairman had hoped.
On the night of 14 March, the meeting between Chief Du and General Stilwell in the "Red Chamber" was a success.
At the meeting, General Stilwell expressed his full support for the plan of "fighting the offensive against Cuba," and assured him that "this morning, I once again spoke earnestly with General Alexander on the question of the operation in Burma, and he generously promised to meet my demands, and solemnly stated: 'The British army has decided to fight side by side with the Chinese army to the end, and every inch of land will cost the Japanese army a heavy blood. I think Alexander's words can be trusted. ”
The issue that had been debated endlessly at the Sino-British-Burmese joint meeting was resolved, and the purpose of Chief Du's visit was achieved, and he left with ease.
Seeing off Chief Du, General Stilwell sighed to a staff officer with great interest, "Deputy Chief Du is good!" He is very smart, very insightful, very tactically flexible, very aggressive, has an offensive spirit, and he is our trusted partner, and he is not only full of confidence in winning the battle against Burma, but also very methodical. It can be seen that the Chinese soldiers represented by him have a very tenacious will to fight and a strong offensive spirit, and they are determined to defeat the Japanese invaders in Burma...... Now it depends on the actual actions of the British army, and I hope that Alexander will match his words with deeds! ”
It can be seen that General Stilwell still has concerns about Alexander the Great, but Chief Du has to believe in Alexander's promise, after all, if General Stilwell hadn't come forward, the expeditionary force would not even have gotten such a promise!
In any case, the "Tonggu Offensive Operational Concept" has been agreed, and China and Britain have reached a consensus on the defensive deployment of the Prome, Tonggu, and Moltke fronts: Alexander, commander-in-chief of the Anglo-Burmese Army, is stationed in Prome on the Western Front, the Fifth Army of the Expeditionary Force is stationed in Tonggu in the middle, and the Sixth Army of the Expeditionary Force is stationed on the Eastern Front, Moltke.
On 15 March, the morning sun climbed into the sky early, and there was not a trace of haze in the sky, and the two horsemen hurriedly drove out from the temporary station of the 66th Regiment in the southern suburbs, and it was Li Siwei and Liu Tianfu.
Just received the order, Li Siwei was about to rush to the commander's headquarters.
"Regiment Commander," Liu Tianfu's voice has always been very loud, suppressing the sound of the horse's hooves vigorously, and there is a trace of excitement in his voice, "The commander called you over, do you want us to go to the south?" ”
"I don't know," Li Siwei smiled, "That's how you want to go to the south?" ”
"Of course," Liu Tianfu was confident, "didn't we come all the way here just to fight?" Turtle's, I haven't even seen the little devils these days, and I'm running away all day...... Getting a new guy has never been useful, and the brothers are going to suffocate! ”
"Hurry up with a hammer!" Li Siwei scolded with a smile, "Lao Tzu is now a special service group directly under the headquarters, which is different from before!" ”
"Uh......" Liu Tianfu was stunned, his face was full of unwillingness, "Then you can't stop fighting!" ”
"Who said there was no war?" Li Siwei smiled and shook his head, "Such a big battlefield...... Less of your fight? ”
"Yes!" Liu Tianfu perked up, "It seems that the follow-up troops have not been assembled yet, and we will definitely be able to go to the front line......"
"Kizujin ......"
Li Siwei suddenly retracted the reins of the horse, reined in the war horse, turned his head and glared at Liu Tianfu, stopped talking, shook the reins of the horse and continued to gallop.
Liu Tianfu was stunned for a moment, his face full of doubts, "Commander, what's wrong?" ”
"Don't do anything," Li Siwei's voice drifted in the wind, and he couldn't hear the joys and sorrows.
Perhaps, even he himself can't figure out how he feels at the moment!
A little timid?
In fact, he has always been timid in fighting, after all, fighting is to die.
A little helpless?
Yes, as a soldier, even if you don't like to kill people, and you are afraid of seeing your brothers die one after another, you will fight when you meet the enemy!
A little relieved?
Yes, it was Lao Tzu who gave them the courage to fight, and seeing their eagerness to fight, Lao Tzu should rush to be relieved!
But...... Lao Tzu is sending them to death!
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of horses' hooves was heavy and urgent, but it couldn't dispel the chaotic thoughts in Li Siwei's heart.
Hurriedly rushed to the commander's headquarters, and after receiving the report, Li Siwei walked straight to the door of Chief Du's office, and saluted with a "snap", "Li Siwei of the special service group is ordered to report for duty!" ”
"Coming?" Chief Du raised his head, his gaze moved from the document in his hand to Li Siwei's face, and a smile appeared, "Come in!" ”
"Yes!" Li Siwei agreed, strode into the office, walked straight to the desk and stood still, raised his head and chest, and looked at Chief Du with a solemn expression, "Please command!" ”
"Well," Commander Du nodded lightly and put down the documents in his hand, "Commander Li, your regiment is a unit directly under the commander's department, and it should have acted together with the commander's department, but the follow-up troops of our army have not yet been transported, so your regiment is also in this combat sequence......"
As he spoke, Chief Du paused, and looked at Li Siwei quietly.
"Please rest assured, sir!" Li Siwei hurriedly assured, "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty!" ”
"Okay," Chief Du praised, stood up, picked up a warrant and handed it to Li Siwei, "Wait a minute, you go to the war room to get a few new maps......
"Yes!" Li Siwei hurriedly saluted and took the warrant with both hands.
The content of the warrant is very clear: the special service group directly under the commander's department immediately went to Pingmanna, and stationed in Zaze to stand by!
After receiving the warrant and receiving a new version of the military topographic map of 1/100,000 and 4 copies of the new topographic map of 1/50,000, Li Siwei and Liu Tianfu hurried back to the station, speechless all the way.
It's going to be war again, and I haven't seen blood for more than half a year!
Walking into the crowded temporary station, looking at the busy figures and the familiar hurriedness, Li Siwei could only sigh secretly in his heart, suppressed all his thoughts, and walked quickly into the conference room, "Tie Sheng, call a meeting of all the officers above the company level of the regiment......
Once the order is given, the only way to do it is to go all out!
In the conference room of the temporary resident regiment headquarters, all the generals arrived one after another, sat down one after another, and looked at Li Siwei energetically one by one.
"Brothers," Li Siwei looked around at the generals with a solemn expression, "On the way to the headquarters, Tianfu said to me, 'Commander, when will you fight?' Getting a new guy has never been useful, and the brothers are almost suffocating! ’”
"Yes to ......"
The generals nodded one after another, and they were all eager to try, "Regiment leader, where do we want to fight from above?" ”
"Zaze," Li Siwei stood up, walked straight to the new version of the military topographic map that had just been hung on the wall, picked up the sandalwood short stick and pointed to a thick black dot on the Central Railway, and then moved it gently to the southwest, "It's southwest of Pingmanna...... We'll get on the train in the early evening and go straight to Pingmanna, where we'll settle in Zazawa. ”
"On standby in Zazawa?"
All the generals were stunned, "Why don't you let us go directly to the south?" ”
"Lao Tzu doesn't know," Li Siwei turned around, looked at the generals and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Maybe...... It's not laid out yet! ”
This question is naturally not something that Li Siwei can explain, but he keeps in mind Master Guan's words, "Don't advance lightly, don't retreat lightly"!
Of course, Chief Du's plan for the "Tonggu Offensive Operation" was exhaustive, but in such a general battle, he did not have decision-making power.
Just when Li Siwei received the order to evacuate, General Stilwell personally flew to the front line of Tonggu to inspect the defensive deployment of the 200th Division.
In General Stilwell's view, the army is the main body of war, and after the strategy is determined, it mainly depends on the army to achieve it, and army building is particularly important.
Therefore, he must personally go to see the 200th Division to see if they have the ability to hold on to Tonggu, consume the Japanese invaders, and then plan the main counterattack.
General Stilwell traveled nearly 100 kilometers from Tonggu to Pew, and when he saw that Division Commander Dai had made proper arrangements, the officers and men of the division were highly motivated, and the combat preparations were sufficient, his worries suddenly disappeared, and he flew to Chongqing on 17 March to report to the chairman of the CPPCC National Committee on the "Tonggu Offensive Operational Concept."
However, at this time, Rangoon had already been lost, and the British and Burmese forces did not show a strong will to fight, so the chairman's Burma war policy had changed from "active offensive" to "active defense," and his goal had also changed from "defending or recovering Rangoon" to "defending Mandalay and the northern Burma corridor." He was not enthusiastic about the Tonggu offensive.
After repeated study, the chairman finally agreed to "hold the first battle in the Tonggu and Pingmanna areas with the existing strength."
In the middle of the night of 21 March, General Stilwell rushed back to Burma and issued the "No. 1 Operational Order" drawn up by the General Staff Committee in Burma: the troops directly under the Fifth Army, the 200th Division, and the 55th Provisional Division were to be the main forces to fight against the Cuban front; The Sixth Army was prepared to meet the enemy from the direction of Thailand in accordance with its current disposition; The new 22nd and 96th Divisions were under the direct command of General Stilwell, and were mobile forces on the front lines of Dongdunzhi and Mandalay.
After receiving the order, Commander Du's enthusiasm turned into indignation, and the "offensive operation with the Japanese invaders" that he was looking forward to turned into a passive defensive war, and the plan of "first luring and annihilating the 55 th Division of the Japanese invaders in Tonggu and then encircling and annihilating the 33 rd Division of the Japanese invaders on the Western Front" came to naught.
However, the latest order of the 66th Regiment, which had been stationed in Pingmanna as early as three days ago, was to stick to Zaze and be vigilant against the despicable.
