Section 2 The First Battle V

Bi Huang is a foreigner, like a Chinese expert like Qu Wei, and he is very clear about China's power, Zhuang Jihua almost laughed, he wanted to tell Stilwell, you can't even move a company without my order. \\.qВ5、c0m\

It took a lot of effort for him to resist this impulse and calmly said to Stilwell, "General." Although you are higher than me in terms of position, it can be said from the military rank that I am a national second-class general, and you are a three-star general of your country, which is equivalent to the rank of lieutenant general in my country; As for combat experience, I am even richer than you, take 10,000 steps back and say, these are not counted, how much time have you been in Burma, and how much do you know about the enemy's situation and my friendship? Have you ever thought about the battle plan in such a hurry, and if it fails, who will be responsible? ”

Zhuang Jihua's tone became more and more severe, Stilwell's face became worse and worse, he wanted to turn around and leave, but reason told him that he couldn't, he didn't know anything about the squadron, he knew very well that if Zhuang Jihua didn't agree, he wouldn't be able to move this squadron at all.

"Cultural Revolution, General Stilwell, how did you get there" The two turned their heads to see that it was Yu Jishi and Simmons walking together, they obviously noticed the smell of gunpowder between the two, Yu Jishi was stuck in the middle of speaking, looking at them left and right.

"We have some disagreements about the fight in Burma." Zhuang Jihua stabilized his emotions and said in a calm tone.

"Oh" Yu Jishi understood in his heart, Zhuang Jihua had talked to him about the concept of fighting in Burma after he arrived in Mandalay, and he completely agreed, in his opinion. This is the most prudent strategy, even if it fails, most of the squadron can return home safely, this Yankee has not been in Myanmar for a long time, what clever strategy has he come up with? It made him curious.

After Zhuang Jihua finished talking about Stilwell's idea, Yu Jishi couldn't help but curse in his heart, this was purely taking the risk of the squadron and wiping the butts of the British with the lives of Chinese soldiers. "General Stilwell, there are too many uncertainties in your strategy," Yu Jishi's tone softened. He remembered Chiang Kai-shek's instructions before leaving, and listened to Zhuang Jihua more militarily in the expeditionary force. But it is necessary to pay attention to its relations with the Americans, and China is and will depend on the Americans.

"Especially the British Army, I have been in Burma longer than you, and I know more about the British Army than you do. Now the Indians and Australians want to run away and flee to India, and the Burmese want to surrender to the Japanese, who hate the British more than the Japanese. Yu Jishi crackled and said a lot, the central meaning of which was that "we can't carry out a counteroffensive now, we should first consume the sharp energy of the Japanese army, and then try to counterattack."

Stilwell was even more disappointed, he understood that these Chinese generals did not trust the British at all, and on the way back, Stilwell did not ride in the same car with Zhuang Jihua, he sat in the same car with Simmons. With his long thin face covered with dark clouds, his painstakingly designed counteroffensive against Rangoon, and the battle plan to turn the tide died in this way, and the sky collapsed before it could be executed, and he had to bear the burden of losing Burma

Allow.

The Allied command system in the Burma theater of operations is very strange. Burma belongs to the Chinese theater of operations, so Chiang Kai-shek is the supreme commander, but at the strong request of the British, the Indo-Burma theater was established, under the command of the commander-in-chief of the Indian army Wavell, the British army in Burma commander Alexander, Shi Qiwei's identity is the chief of staff of the Chinese theater, the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, the commander-in-chief of the Burma theater, Zhuang Jihua is strictly his deputy, but because the United States did not invest a single soldier in Burma, Stilwell to carry out the combat plan, must go through Zhuang Jihua and Alexander, otherwise he will not be able to transfer a single soldier.

"Simmons, do you think the British will defend Burma?" After a long time, Shi Qiwei asked.

"General, that's hard to say." Simmons pondered, "I have met some British soldiers or officers, and from their conversations, they prefer to go to India. ”

"Then you also think that a counterattack on Rangoon is not feasible?" Shi Qiwei was very depressed.

"Whether it can be done, whether the Chinese and British armies can cooperate frankly, according to the current situation, I am afraid it is very difficult." Simonstein said frankly that during this time he was tortured enough by Zhuang Jihua, and the task given to him was to deal with the British army, and the British did not leave their hands, so it was even more difficult to let them stay and fight than to ascend to the sky, and their purpose was to let the Chinese fight the Japanese and pack their bags to India.

"You also think that the British are not to be trusted?" Shi Qiwei looked at him in surprise.

"Zhuang is right," Simmons said: "The British ** team must be reorganized before it can fight, at least the British army that fought in the early stage must be reorganized, those officers who just want to escape should be removed from their posts and investigated, and those officers who are brave and willing to fight should be promoted." ”

Stilwell was silent, he didn't expect that the situation he was facing would be like this, even the Americans could not trust the British.

"It seems that we must have another good talk with General Alexander."

In the car in front of them, Zhuang Jihua didn't care that Shi Qiwei didn't get into his car, but he still didn't have a happy look, and Yu Jishi persuaded him to save face for Stilwell along the way.

"During the Cultural Revolution, Stilwell was sent by Roosevelt after all, and the relationship should not be too stiff, otherwise it would be difficult for the principal to talk about the situation

"Although this Stilwell is reckless, I think he is quite sincere, at least better than the British who do not want to fight

"Okay, Liangzhen, I know how to deal with them." Zhuang Jihua was a little impatient. Interrupting his chatter: "Don't you think there's something wrong with the Japanese?" ”

"What's wrong?" Yu Jishi suddenly came to his senses, he leaned over, and suddenly understood: "Cultural Revolution, don't change the topic, I'm talking to you about the right thing, don't have a hard top with the Americans, I don't care what the British are, but the Americans have to talk about skills." ”

"Liangzhen, when did you become a party representative" Zhuang Jihua looked at him angrily: "You think I'm joking with you, you really haven't thought about it." Strange actions of the Japanese? ”

"What, that's really wrong?. Yu Jishi saw Zhuang Jihua's serious expression and hurriedly asked.

"How many days has it been since the Japanese captured Rangoon?"

"Four days, it's been ten days since the occupation of Bago." It was clear to Yu Ji that the Japanese army that had captured Rangoon was resting, and a small part pursued the British troops who fled westward.

"The Japanese army has always emphasized moving quickly, why is it so slow this time? Isn't that abnormal? Zhuang Jihua frowned and said.

Yu Jishi suddenly understood that the Japanese army had always acted decisively and quickly, attacked fiercely, defended resolutely, and pursued rapidly; Now they have five divisions, except for one division that is pursuing the British army, the rest of the troops are resting, if they are worried about the squadron, Yu Jishi asked himself that the more than 100,000 Chinese expeditionary forces would never let the Japanese army do this, in their military dictionary, a Japanese division can be a 100,000 squadron.

"Abnormal must be demonic" Zhuang Jihua sighed. The battle without intelligence support is really uncomfortable, both sides are guessing the other party's purpose, he is now trying to confuse the Japanese army, he is now in a formation, one by one resistance formation, in fact, as long as Tonggu guards for a week, or Lu Han's 58th Army reaches Mandalay, he will abandon Tonggu, attract the Japanese army to Mandalay, and use the terrain here to fight with the Japanese army.

But now that the Japanese have stopped, the Japanese who have always been aggressive have stopped, which can't help but make him wonder why this is?

"We only put a new 28th Division in the east, is the strength a little thin?" Zhuang Jihua seemed to be talking to himself, and it seemed to be discussing with Yu Jishi.

The new 28th Division was placed by him in Tangji, also known as Dongzhi, this division was isolated on the eastern front, in addition to supervising the shipment of materials in Tangji, it was to monitor the safety of the eastern front. The northeast of Tangji is a large number of primeval jungles. It is sparsely populated, and it is not suitable for large groups of people to run. Tangji became an important support point on the Eastern Front.

It stands to reason that such an important support point and a vast area would require at least two divisions to defend it. But the troops in Zhuang Jihua's hands can only send such a division.

"If you were Iida, how would you fight this battle, for example, you already know that the squadron is assembled in Mandalay, and you have five divisions in your hands, how will you fight?" Zhuang Jihua asked Yu solemnly.

Yu Jishi never thought about this problem. With Zhuang Jihua in him, he is happy to be leisurely, and when Zhuang Jihua gives an order, he will carry it out. Now Zhuang Jihua asked abruptly, he really didn't know how to answer.

The crowd on the road gradually increased, the speed of the jeep became much slower, the scattered British troops were contained in the city, the refugees continued to flee north, the city has been ten rooms and nine empty, the city squadron is setting up barricades everywhere, Chinese soldiers in military uniforms are patrolling the city, and the social security is very good.

A group of British routers, clearly Indians, were stopped at the checkpoint. Dark skin. There was a foul smell all over his body, and a lieutenant ** official was reading the order to them loudly, he read a sentence, and the translator next to him read it loudly.

The soldiers stared blankly at the passing convoy. also looked at the saluting Chinese soldiers numbly, and after the convoy passed, the officer Fei Zhuo scolded angrily.

"You filthy Indian pigs, don't you even know how to salute!"

The officer's scolding drifted into Stilwell's ears along the river, and he couldn't help grinning, only to hear Simmons next to him sigh slightly.

"I don't attack Mandalay directly

The jeep stopped at the entrance of the headquarters, and the first thing Yu Jishi said when he jumped out of the car was this, Zhuang Jihua didn't look at him, but just quickened his pace and walked towards the headquarters.

Walking into the war room, Chief of Staff Xiao Yisu was in the war room, and when he saw Zhuang Jihua and Yu Jishi coming in one after the other, he quickly stood up, but Zhuang Jihua waved him to sit down.

"Go and call Director He immediately

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked a staff officer to invite He Wei. Then he asked, "What's wrong?" commander

Zhuang Jihua did not answer, but walked to the map and put his hands behind his back. After a long time, he asked, "Liangzhen, how are you going to fight?" ”
