Stilwell also became excited, raised his right palm and said: "Okay, let's high-five and swear, and together we will fight this battle perfectly and beautifully, and give the Japanese monkey a heavy blow!" ”

"Smack!" With a bang, two hands clapped in the air, and then the two of them burst into laughter.

After drinking the last glass of wine, Jiang Haoran advised Stilwell to rest early, there were important things to do tomorrow, and he had to ensure that he had plenty of energy.

Stilwell suddenly sighed, worried about the materials of the war of resistance in Chinese mainland, because in Jiang Haoran's plan, the expeditionary force only temporarily occupied northern Burma, relying on the Irrawaddy River as the boundary line to fight against the Japanese army, and the real counteroffensive could not begin until Jiang Haoran's third and fifth divisions and the Chongqing government re-transferred troops from the interior, which would take at least three months, plus the attack on the Japanese army, the fastest and smoothest would take several months to tear through the Japanese defense line. In other words, the Yunnan-Burma Highway will not be able to be opened for at least half a year, which means that China will not be able to get supplies in the past six months, and the expeditionary force will be safe, but whether the Chinese battlefield can hold out for so long has become the most difficult problem at present.

In the face of Stilwell's concern, Jiang Haoran didn't know where to take out a map of the Yunnan-Burma border, spread it out on the table, picked up a pencil, and drew a straight line from Assam, India to Yunnan, China, and said: "From here to open up a 'hump route' materials can be continuously transported to China, but the United States must put a large number of transport planes into the Chinese battlefield, and the problem of material shortage will be solved immediately." ”

Stilwell said: "You mean from the Indian state of Assam in the west, to the east across the Himalayas, the Gaoligong Mountains, the Hengduan Mountains, the Salween River, the Nu River, and then to Yunnan? Oh my God, you have to know that the mountains here are undulating, and the altitude is more than four or five thousand meters, can planes fly over it? Did you fly? ”

Jiang Haoran said with a smile: "No, I haven't flown it, and this route is far more than you said, just the high altitude of the mountain peaks, and the unpredictable risks such as strong turbulence, strong winds, and freezing during the flight will also be encountered, and because the rolling terrain of the mountain peaks is complex, so I call it the 'Hump Route', although it is a bit dangerous, but I know that this route can definitely be opened, and it is the most direct and effective." ”

Faced with Jiang Haoran's confidence that he didn't know where he came from, Stilwell actually believed it, nodded and said: "Okay, I will report your expectations as soon as possible, and I hope that our Mr. President can send a pilot to investigate the site as soon as possible, and accept your ridiculous suggestion." ”

?????? In the early morning, the sun is still shining, the rainy season is far from coming, the weather here will be mainly sunny and hot, the sun shines through the mist on the earth, and unknown birds sing in the jungle, the sound is beautiful and pleasant.

The entire Hukang River valley was full of soldiers who were busy assembling their faces, and although the commander who led the team was in a hurry, they all had smiles on their faces, and they were excited by the new military pay system announced early in the morning. As a soldier, it is a big truth to protect the family and defend the country, and it is fundamental to be able to earn a few dollars to feed a large family, and this benefit that Jiang Haoran obtained for them made the soldiers instantly identify with the new commander-in-chief.

In fact, not to mention the officers and soldiers at the bottom of the expeditionary force, but all Chinese, where do they not know Jiang Haoran, the legendary achievements along the way have long been reprinted in the hearts of the soldiers. Jiang Haoran's arrival undoubtedly injected them with a shot of chicken blood, and also allowed them to see a glimmer of hope from the predicament.

Deep in the jungle, there was a small wooden hut with sawdust on the thick planks, which was newly built. This is Jiang Haoran's temporary camp, in order to build this new nest for Jiang Haoran, a battalion of troops was used, and it took a day and a night to build it, for which Deputy Commander-in-Chief Luo Zhuoying also took great pains.

Around the wooden house, there are clear posts and secret posts of the snow wolf special combat team everywhere, and the radius of thousands of meters is guarded, no one can be sure that there are no Japanese spies in the expeditionary force, and even some people in the country still want Jiang Haoran's life, so this guard work cannot be relaxed at all.

Not far from the wooden house, Huang Jie, chief of staff of the expeditionary force, hurriedly walked over with three people dressed as ordinary people. It was blocked a hundred meters away from the wooden house, and after some negotiations, Huang Jie still couldn't move forward, so he heard him shout, "I am the chief of staff of the expeditionary force, I have an urgent matter to meet the general seat, and you can't afford to delay the military situation?" ”

The person in charge of off-site vigilance is Tie Erdan, who is a nervous character, who only listens to Su Canwen and Jiang Haoran, who doesn't care who you are Huang Jie or what is going on, and immediately responded: "I don't care who you are, no one can go in without the order of our general seat." ”

"Then you're going to inform the chief seat?"

"No, our captain said, the general seat came back late last night, and no one can disturb him without resting."

"Hey, I can't tell you yet?" Huang Jie's voice was a little crazy, and then he simply stood outside and shouted "General Seat".

Lieutenant General Huang Jie is actually also a fierce man, the first phase of the Huangpu Army Military Academy, after receiving training in the Lushan Officer Training Corps and the Army University General Officer Class, participated in the Eastern Crusade and the Northern Expedition, in 1933, he personally led the second division of the National Revolutionary Army to the foot of the Great Wall, participated in the famous Gubeikou battle, and fought fiercely with the invading Japanese army for five days and five nights.

The door of the wooden house finally creaked open, Jiang Haoran was wearing short-sleeved cropped pants, stood at the door and rubbed his eyes, and roared: "Tie Erdan, what are you doing, Chief of Staff Huang, you dare to block Lao Tzu from the door, don't you get out of the way?" ”

Tie Erdan reluctantly got out of the way, Huang Jie ran over quickly, stood up and saluted: "Boss, there is no way, General Stilwell ordered me to find you two guides as soon as possible before leaving, this will wake you up." ”

"Hehe, Brother Dayun (Huang Jiezi), don't be so polite, what 'yours' sounds awkward, you can just call me Haoran or my Ziqian in the future, I chatted with General Stilwell late last night, and these people in my house probably changed to a new place, and they didn't rest well all night, so I got up late today." Jiang Haoran said.

"Hehe, it is said that Jiang Haoran is a straightforward person, it seems that the rumors are not false, okay, then I will rely on the old man and sell the old once, and call you a humble brother. By the way, these are the two guides you want, the descendants of overseas Chinese in Myanmar, who grew up in Meng Gong, are quite familiar with the terrain in that area, but unfortunately do not understand Chinese, so they also gave you a translator. Huang Jie said, pointing to the three people dressed as ordinary people who were still blocked by Tie Erdan.
