Chapter 811: Far Water Can't Save Near Fire

So everyone only cares about eating, but Su Canwen turned it up at the bottom of the box, as the captain, what he wants to know most now is what happened, whether the Japanese army really retreated? And the airdropped supplies will definitely have communication tools, at least the opportunity to talk.

Sure enough, Su Canwen quickly turned out a walkie-talkie, immediately turned on the call button, and contacted the pilot in the sky.

Indo, Command of the Expeditionary Force.

The Japanese army retreated on all fronts, and the threat of Yingduo was completely lifted, and commanders at all levels rushed back from the front, from Deputy Commander-in-Chief Luo Zhuoying to Zhang Zhen and Chen Mianwu, two army commanders, and then to the division commanders below, except for the injured 93rd Division Commander Lu Guoquan, the rest all arrived, Liu Xianwei, Liu Bao and John Williams were also there, and even Wu Huawen, who had just recovered from a serious injury, was not left behind.

However, the room full of people were all elated, and there were a few fierce and high-spirited people in the conversation, but they had nothing to do with Wu Huawen, everyone present was a great achievement, but he was a guilty person, and he did not make an inch, and his disappointment and loneliness were simply indescribable.

At this moment, he was sitting alone in the corner, coldly watching the generals around Jiang Haoran talking and laughing, as harmonious as a superior who had worked together for decades, but he was extremely frustrated. If he knew how to judge the situation at the beginning, at this moment, he would also be one of them, and the position of military commander would not be cheap Chen Mianwu. But everything in the world can be bought, and the only thing you can't buy is regret medicine.

Summoning all the generals back, of course, will not be just for the sake of a commendation meeting, but for the purpose of redividing the defensive area.

Dai Anlan's 200th Division and Liao Yaoxiang's 22nd Division of the Fifth Army were still deployed on the front line of Xidang, and Yu Shao's 96th Division was still deployed on the line of the Inovady River.

Due to the withdrawal of the Japanese army from Mina, Zhang Zhen's 66th Army took over the defense, and Mina was garrisoned by Sun Liren's new 38th Division and Zhang Zhen's 28th Division, and Meng Gong was stationed at Ma Weiji's 29th Division.

Two divisions of the British Army were transferred back to India because the German army was about to move on the Western Front in India, and the task of garrisoning Homarin was entrusted to Chen Mianwu's 75th Army.

The 75th Army also suffered heavy casualties in this battle, Lu Guoquan's 96th Division, with wounded soldiers, was left with less than one battalion, and the formation was gone, Peng Bisheng's 49th Division and Chen Mianwu's 55th Division were no better, basically just barely preserving the formation, in the past practice of the Central Army, these troops could only wait for the cancellation of the number, and the remaining personnel of the army were incorporated into other units, but in Jiang Haoran's hands, this situation would never happen, even if there was only one person left in the whole division, this person would become a seed, take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree again.

Jiang Haoran transferred the 75th Army to Homalin, on the one hand, to coordinate the construction of the Indo-Burma Highway by the British army, and on the other hand, to prepare them to accept new recruits as soon as possible and rebuild their combat effectiveness.

Although the two British divisions withdrew from India, the regiment of John 61 Williams remained, representing the British army and the Japanese army to resist to the end.

Moreover, John also offered to put his troops on the front line. In this regard, Jiang Haoran, of course, was eager to divide the jungle from Xidang to Homarin into the area of their activities and that of the airborne brigade. The reason why it is said to be an activity area is because they can freely decide their own position, as long as they do not let the Japanese infiltrate into the rear, they will not care even if they are stationed under the nose of the enemy.

Jiang Haoran's meaning is actually to let these two troops, using this vast jungle, operate under the nose of the enemy, harass the enemy at all times, and make them never have peace.

The level of jungle combat of the airborne brigade is unquestionable, as for the British army led by John, they also performed well in this blocking battle, with very small casualties, brought great trauma to the Japanese army, although there is no lack of credit for the snow wolf special combat team, but it can also be seen that their own combat effectiveness is not bad, even if their jungle experience is almost good, but with Liu Xianwei and they take care of it, they will not see them suffer in the hands of the Japanese army.

As soon as the deployment task was over, Luo Zhuoying said: "General seat, although we have won a big victory this time, but the casualties of each department are not small, the casualties of each department of our Fifth Army are still small, but they are close to half, we are in a hurry to replenish, the casualties of the Japanese army in front of us are not much better than ours, but who knows if they will continue to increase troops in the direction of Xidang?" But our supplementary army source is still in Yunnan, so I'm afraid that we will be caught off guard by then? ”

"One more question?" Chief of Staff Huang Jie took over the topic and said: "I heard that the military committee to supplement the expeditionary force are all student soldiers, although the source of soldiers is good, but after all, they have not been on the battlefield, in terms of the situation of the Fifth Army, they still have half of the veterans, and there is no problem in supplementing them with veterans, but if you want the 75th Army to also replenish these student soldiers, it will not be able to form effective combat effectiveness in the short term, and when the rainy season passes, the Japanese army will definitely regroup its forces and attack again, and it will definitely be more dangerous than now. It seems a bit irresponsible to throw these student soldiers on the battlefield, and it's too much of a waste of these good soldiers? ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Haoran frowned slightly, nodded and replied: "What you said makes sense, it is easy to come over as soon as possible to replenish the troops, with the 14th Air Force here, they are fully capable of helping us to airlift to Imphal in the short term, as long as they arrive in Imphal, it will only be a matter of a few days for them to come over." But I am afraid that it is unrealistic to ask the Military Commission to replenish our veterans at the moment, I am afraid that the Military Commission will be powerless even if it has the heart, the Central Army has fought the War of Resistance in recent years, and the casualties are not small, and the warlords in various places are similar, and everyone lacks veterans in their hands, and the gap of the expeditionary force is not small, and one or two thousand cannot solve the problem, unless an army is abolished, but who will be willing to make this sacrifice? The Military Commission will not exert such great courage? ”

Leng Rushuang said with a smile: "If you want to use disarmament to ensure the source of troops for the expeditionary force?" I think this will be spurned before it is spoken, your 40th Army has an army of 400,000, but you have to sacrifice others to ensure the supply of troops for your expeditionary force, who can be convinced? ”

Jiang Haoran smiled bitterly: "I want to transfer the 40th Group Army over, but the third and fifth divisions must not move, they must cooperate with the special operations division to attack Burma from Baoshan, in order to reopen the Yunnan-Burma highway to build momentum, and the 331 base is basically no longer adjustable, the nearest are in Nanchang, thousands of miles away, let them come on foot, at least three or four months before they can reach Yunnan, even if it is airlifted from Yunnan, this transportation capacity is also a very headache, it is really far water can not save the near fire?" ”
