Chapter 663: Precise Deployment
Jiang Haoran raised his thumb and praised Luo Zhuoying: "Brother You Qing is really powerful, this is to the point?" ”
Luo Zhuoying was still complacent, but Wu Huawen said without yin or yang: "To put it lightly, the surprise soldier attacked Meng Gong? Do you know that from the north to the southern pass of Jianbu Mountain, to this section of the valley between Menggong and Menggong, it is more than 100 kilometers long from north to south and more than 10 kilometers wide from east to west. It is one of the few plains in northern Burma, we will be discovered by the Japanese army before we enter, and the west is as high as a thousand meters of Bujeban Mountain, the ravines are impassable, coupled with the dangerous terrain of Meng Gong, how many troops do we need to take Meng Gong to cut off the Manmi Railway, and can block the Japanese army from Yingduo and Ba Mo to increase troops to counterattack? Let me ask again, even if we move all the Japanese troops to the other side of the Irrawaddy River, where is our way out? Aren't you trapped in northern Myanmar and can't move your nest, and continue to starve and be surrounded? ”
Although Wu Huawen's words were a little aggressive, but what he said was also the truth, Jiang Haoran was not angry, but smiled: "You don't have to worry about the surprise attack on Meng Gong, I won't use a single soldier of the expeditionary force, to be honest, you can't complete this task, Meng Gong is the rear of Myitkyina, and it is naturally a place for material hoarding, I not only want to occupy Meng Gong, but also ensure that the food and materials inside are not destroyed by the Japanese army, although this bit of food and materials may be less for an army of more than 100,000, but you can rest assured, everything will be there." As for the way out? Yes, that's the crux of the matter, all my actions are fake, the real purpose is ??????"
Jiang Haoran said and pointed at a place name on the sand table with a command rod, everyone was stunned, and then let out an exclamation, Jiang Haoran ignored everyone's astonishment, and asked the chief of staff Huang Jie to prepare personnel and tools, and he carried out sand table deduction, this is a huge military operation, must be precisely deployed, any loophole in any link may lead to the failure of the entire operation, especially the troops he is not familiar with, he hopes that every division commander can deeply understand his combat intentions, and implement it to the end.
The whole sand table exercise lasted from about 4 p.m. to 12 p.m., and dinner was brought to the war room by the soldiers to eat. Fortunately, the results are very gratifying, with a success rate of up to 70%, which is already good for sand table deduction and is completely operable. The expressions of the generals also slowly changed from shock to doubt, and then to the current relaxation, and it is not difficult to see that they have basically agreed with Jiang Haoran's battle plan.
Jiang Haoran raised his wrist and looked at the time, and said, "Okay, it's twelve o'clock now, I don't know if you have any objections?" ”
Jiang Haoran swept his eyes across the audience, saw that there was no sound, and continued: "Okay, let's prepare separately, what time means to us, I think everyone knows it, I hope everyone will make all the arrangements tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning, and I want to remind you that in Burma we are the allies of the British colonialists, and the Japanese army is the 'liberator' in their minds, to hide our intentions of action, we must use extraordinary means, we don't need to teach you this, right?" ”
When Jiang Haoran said this, there was a chill on his face, and everyone immediately understood the meaning of this "extraordinary means", and suddenly felt that his scalp was numb, the nearest hundreds of miles in the past this way, the farthest hundreds of miles, how many Burmese locals he had to meet, he Jiang Haoran was really a killing god, and he didn't blink his eyes when he said this.
Finally, Jiang Haoran announced the decision on the latest military salary of the expeditionary force, and the military salary has changed from the original five oceans to the current five dollars, which is undoubtedly a big news, and it is also the most direct way to improve morale.
The generals agreed with a bang, and then rushed out of the war room, they still had to be busy tonight, no one dared to delay, and they were clean in an instant, leaving Jiang Haoran and his adjutant, secretary, and of course General Stilwell in the room.
Jiang Haoran said: "General Stilwell, I don't know if the expeditionary force has prepared a camp for me?" ”
"Of course!" Stilwell said, and then called the guards in, and took Adjutant Leng and the two secretaries Mei back to the camp to rest first, he and Commander-in-Chief Jiang still had something to say.
Looking at the backs of the three stunning beauties, Stilwell couldn't help but praise: "Jiang, you are really a blessing, and I have begun to understand why Anna is willing to refuse the pursuit of countless handsome young men in the United States for you, and is desperately in love with you, you are indeed a man who makes women obsessed." ”
"Ah, do you know Anna?" Jiang Haoran was pleasantly surprised, his eyes began to shine, in the more than a year after Anna left, in addition to the exchange of letters, he really didn't get a little news from other channels, at this time, I heard that Stilwell actually knew Anna, how could he not be surprised?
Stilwell smiled: "It's not just acquaintance, I grew up watching her, she didn't pee on my neck when she was a child, and she will definitely call me uncle affectionately when she sees me." ”
Jiang Haoran looked at Stilwell, who no longer spoke, and said with a smile: "What do you mean, I have to call you uncle before I can go on?" ”
Stilwell smiled noncommittally, but was really silent.
"Uncle!" Jiang Haoran was also simply blurted out, his eyes full of impatience.
Stilwell answered, smiled heartily, and then told Jiang Haoran that he was actually the best friend with Anna's father, the kind that he played with since childhood, but Anna's father died young because of a car accident, so the old Morgan pinned all his hopes on Anna, and pampered him so much that he heard that Anna actually married a Chinese man in China, which made him so angry that he swore not to allow Anna to set foot on Chinese soil again. However, the turning point appeared when Jiang Haoran became the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, and the old Morgan also fully understood Jiang Haoran at this time, and began to acquiesce in Anna's marriage, but Jiang Haoran must go to the United States, and when the situation in Myanmar stabilizes, Anna will also come to Myanmar.
Jiang Haoran has never considered going to live in the United States, and it is estimated that he will not consider it in the future, but he is still full of expectations for Anna in Myanmar in the future.
In the past half an hour, Stilwell said a lot of interesting things about Anna's childhood and growth, and listened to Jiang Haoran with relish, and laughed heartily from time to time, until Stilwell's adjutant sent supper, and the topic was not over, Jiang Haoran was still satisfied, but Stilwell said that Anna's story could not be finished for three days and three nights, and there was an opportunity to say in the future, now it is better to eat something first, and he still has a big question to ask Jiang Haoran for verification.
Jiang Haoran had no choice but to give up, the supper was very simple, only a plate of beef jerky and a plate of peanuts, but there was a bottle of Lafite red wine, and the vintage was not low.
