Coming to Lashio again, Lin Wei's mood was very complicated, he didn't expect that Jiang Jiejie's task of Zhou Bochi would be such a difficult task. /.qb five, c0М//(зZcncom) In his heart, he was unhappy for Zhuang Jihua, and after a big victory, he was actually transferred. For so many years, he has watched Zhuang Jihua change the southwest step by step, establishing a military industrial system for China little by little, providing weapons and equipment for more than 1 million people; It is too unfair to create a brave and good fighting force, but the Americans transferred him from the front line just because of a word.

Since accepting this mission, Lin Wei has not had a smile on his face, and he was still thinking about how to announce this order to Zhuang Jihua on the way from getting off the plane to arriving at the headquarters.

"I said Director Lin, what kind of wind will bring you back so quickly, without notice in advance. I'll go to the airport to meet you, the director. Yu Jishi, who was in a good mood at the door, greeted Lin Wei, and when he was by Chiang Kai-shek's side, the two had a good relationship, and they had no scruples about talking to each other. Not long ago, Lin Wei came to Lashio on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek to attend the Zhujie meeting, and at the same time presented awards to meritorious soldiers, which was less than half a month.

"The north wind." Lin Wei sighed, Yu Jishi saw Lin Wei's expression was low, and he was stunned, and then followed him and walked inward, and when he arrived at the inner courtyard, Lin Wei didn't see Zhuang Jihua's shadow, so he asked, "What about the Cultural Revolution?" ”

"He's in the war room," Yu Jishi said, "He already knows you're coming, come over right away." ”

"What, there's a new movement among the Japanese?" Lin Wei's heart tightened, if the Japanese have a new trend. Changing the coach at this time is not a good choice.

"Oh, no, he has a defensive idea, and he is conducting a simulation exercise with Chief of Staff Xiao and Deputy Chief of Staff Gong in the Operations Department." Speaking of this, Yu Jishi sighed: "In this Cultural Revolution, every time I was unhappy, I went to the combat office to torture those staff officers. ”

Lin Wei looked at Yu Jishi suspiciously, Yu Jishi shook his head, and took Stilwell and Alexander's intentions. and the results of their talks with Zhuang Jihua, why Zhuang Jihua was angry.

"So the Cultural Revolution is completely unable to cooperate with Shi Qiwei?" Lin Wei frowned deeply and asked thoughtfully.

Yu Jishi had a bad feeling in his heart, Lin Wei's question was difficult to answer, saying that if they could cooperate, the relationship between the two sides had broken down; Saying that they can't cooperate, Lin Wei is bound to report that high-level consultations between China and the United States are bound to make adjustments to Myanmar's command system. Lin Wei sighed, then shook his head lightly, and walked towards the war room, Yu Jishi followed behind him in confusion. The war room is one of the core departments of the command. There were two soldiers standing guard at the door, and there was not a single idle person around, and the officers passing by also tried to speed up their pace.

Pushing open the door of the war room, Lin Wei saw Zhuang Jihua with his back to the door, next to the sand table, He Wei was holding the command pole and explaining, and when he saw Lin Wei and Yu Jishi coming in, He Wei couldn't help but stop and salute Lin Wei and Yu Jishi.

When Zhuang Jihua turned around and saw that it was Lin Wei and Yu Ji, he also saluted Lin Wei. Before the victory in Lashio, the relationship between Zhuang Jihua and Lin Wei was a bit peculiar, in terms of military rank. Zhuang Jihua is a second-class general in the army. Lin Wei is only a lieutenant general; Judging from the official position, Lin Wei is the director of the Kunming camp, responsible for commanding the expeditionary force, and is Zhuang Jihua's superior. After the victory at Lashio, Chiang Kai-shek also felt that this inappropriate relationship should be ended, so he promoted Lin Wei to the rank of second-class general of the army, leveling the two sides.

"You go on." Lin Wei didn't want to interrupt the tactical deduction arranged by Zhuang Jihua, even if he wanted to transfer Zhuang Jihua, Lin Wei also thought that he was the most warlike general in China at present, which was also confirmed by facts and achievements.

"What we're deducing is how to respond to the next Japanese attack." Zhuang Jihua briefly explained to Lin Wei, and then motioned to He Wei to continue.

He Wei picked up the command rod and pointed to the sand table, and first introduced the content of the deduction to Lin Wei: "For now, we don't have the ability to counterattack Yangon for the time being. There are two reasons, the most important is that the Chinese and British armies lack trust and cannot cooperate with each other, and in the whole war situation, the Japanese army is still strong enough, and our counteroffensive will attract the entire southern army to Burma, so although the British army can increase to 100,000 men in three months, plus the expeditionary force and the small allied forces in Burma have as many as 300,000 people, but the Japanese army has the advantage at sea and can quickly send the troops from Malaysia and Singapore to Burma, and we believe that in three months, the total strength of the Japanese army in Burma will reach 21,250,000.

On the other hand, our allies, the United States will not increase troops in Burma for the time being, and the purpose of the British army, at least at this stage, is to hold India, so once the Japanese army begins to attack, our army will independently face the 201,250,000 Japanese army.

Looking at our army again, if we do not increase the number of troops, and only replenish the lost troops, the total strength of our army will reach 200,000 people, and there will be no slightest superiority over the Japanese army. ”

"The Operations Office believes that the Japanese attack will be divided into three routes, with Mandalay as the center, with the left flank attacking Jingdong, the right flank attacking Myitkyina, and the middle flank attacking Lashio; Due to the lack of specific troop deployment of the Japanese army, we can only deduce according to estimates. ”

He Wei's speed of speech was relatively slow, and his command pole first pointed to the middle lane: "The Japanese army in the middle will be the main force of the Japanese attack, and the strength will account for half of the Japanese army in Burma." But the shape of a pill is complicated. Defending is not good offensive. However, the Japanese army in Jangan had a strong strength, and I think that the Sagawa Army could not be less than three armies, the first line of defense was at Papani Mountain, the second line of defense was in the Hukang River Valley, and the last line of defense was at the Wrist Town River.

For the right flank, I think that the Japanese army will not be able to commit more than two divisions, because the logistics do not allow it, and the Japanese army, after the battle of Lashio, has already understood. A campaign without logistical support is impossible to advance.

On the right flank, the target of the Japanese attack was Jingdong, and at present our army had only one 66th Army on the right flank. There is a serious shortage of troops, and I propose to add at least one corps to the right flank

He Wei analyzed the strength of the Japanese army to the possible attack strategies one by one, and also put forward the response strategy of the expeditionary force, Lin Wei's brows were always furrowed, according to He Wei's analysis, the expeditionary force must increase at least three armies, but where do these troops be transferred?

When He Wei analyzed, Zhuang Jihua didn't say a word, he put his hands behind his back, quietly looked at the sand table, and occasionally took two steps, his eyes swept over the sand table from time to time, in fact, he had seen the sand table countless times, the whole introduction. The topography of northern Myanmar was all imprinted in his mind.

He Wei talked for a whole hour and a half, his mouth was dry, and after he finished speaking, he put down the pole, picked up his cup, and took a big sip.

This one. The defense plan was formulated by Gong Chu in coordination. During this time, Xiao Yisu was mainly directing counterattacks and urging logistics, coordinating the actions of various departments, so it was the first time he had heard of this plan. After He Wei finished speaking. All the generals in the house looked at Zhuang Jihua, waiting for his conclusion.

Zhuang Jihua walked over slowly, propped his hands on the sand table table, stared at Mandalay and took a deep breath and said: "There are many small and big gaps in the whole plan, ignoring the main purpose of our army's battle in Burma, as well as the main purpose of the Japanese army. ”

Without waiting for the others to speak, Zhuang Jihua continued: "Our army entered Burma to fight. The main thing is to maintain external access to facilitate the supply of material support to the domestic theater by the allies. Since the time is not ripe for a counterattack on Yangon, then we have to find another way, that is, to hold on to western Burma, why is it said to be western Burma? Because western Myanmar is an important passage to communicate western Yunnan to India, from India through the Savage Mountain, a road can be built directly through western Yunnan. Therefore, the focus of our operations should be small, and we should focus on protecting northwest Myanmar. Therefore, the forces of the center and the right flank do not need to be so large, the right flank is wide, but the forest is dense, it is impossible to travel a continuous front, the strength of the two armies cannot be exerted, and it is enough to have five divisions.

The middle road is mainly defended, put two catties, the army, adopt the tactics of blocking and blocking, consume the Japanese army, the bottom line is set in Toadtown, or even further north, the specific location, the combat office can be studied; Northern Burma is our focus, and the counterattack of at least three Corps A, the 103rd Army and the Kou Army can be stopped, and retreated to Papani Mountain, and from now on. The divisions began to build fortifications in preparation for the Japanese attack. ”

This passage fully illustrates Zhuang Jihua's habits. He was a battlefield commander, and before the war he only decided on the principles of strategy and tactics, and how to deploy them. Leave it all over to the Operations Department, and then he will review it.

Xiao Yisu and Gong Chu did not raise any objections, He Wei frowned slightly, Lashio had a great contribution in the first battle. After Shi Shaoxian came back, he reported to Zhuang Jihua about his performance in Tangji, and Zhuang Jihua appreciated it very much, asked for credit for him after the war, and proposed to transfer Liu Bolong from the 66th Army.

"Commander" He Wei said: "Although the northwest region of Myanmar is vast, the terrain is more complicated. There are three major rivers from west to east, with more tributaries, and dense forests in the mountains, making it difficult to form a dense battle line, and it is difficult to deploy troops

"Yes, is one enough? In addition, the 103rd Army was immediately transferred to the front line of Bamo and Ruigu. "Zhuang Jihua is like this, once he decides, he will make arrangements immediately. No mud and water. And a bit bossy.

Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly reminded: "Commander." The 103rd Army is leaving, and Lashio is only left with the Kou Army, and the strength is too thin" Don't worry, the Japanese haven't woken up yet, they won't be so bold Zhuang Jihua didn't care: "Let's do it." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Jihua turned to Lin Wei and said, "Director Lin, come to my office to talk." ”

Lin Wei nodded, of course he won't talk here, the officers and soldiers of the expeditionary force must know that Zhuang Jihua has been transferred. It had to be bombed, in fact, even so, Chiang Kai-shek was not having a good time there, the great victory of Lashio spread to the country, the people of the Kuomintang region rejoiced, and the people in Chongqing, Kunming, Guiyang and other places held a grand lantern parade, and the cheers were not extinguished all night.

The Chinese people are too excited, for a long time. Only Westerners bully the Chinese, but now. They fled in front of the Japanese, but the expeditionary force led by Zhuang Jihua completely annihilated the two Japanese divisions, and all Chinese felt happy. Feel raised eyebrows.

Zhuang Jihua's prestige among the people directly catches up with Guan Gong Yue Fei and is regarded as a contemporary martial saint.
