Sun Liren smiled slightly, and did not delve into the discussion on this issue. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Regardless of whether Zhang Xinghan was taking the opportunity to weaken the local faction of the warlords in the southwest or had other purposes, as the commander of the Myitkyina defensive campaign, he could not be too suspicious.

After all, Zhang Xinghan put his two most elite airborne ace troops and a large part of the air force into the defense of the southwest.

Without the strong support of Zhang Xinghan's air force and logistical materials.

Sun Liren understands that it is impossible for this defense battle to happen in the current situation, and under the powerful firepower of the US military's ground-air combination, whether the southwest frontier guards can hold the Nu River defense line is a question. Pig? Pig? Island? Novel.

…………

At the same time, the city of Kunming.

Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi, Long Yun, Liu Xiang, Hu Zongnan and others were all satisfied after leaving.

Guo Zhong also reported the latest situation on the front line to Zhang Xinghan.

Zhang Xinghan and Jiang Baili discussed: "Brother Baili, the Yankees unexpectedly fled into the deep mountains and old forests, what do you think we should do next?" ”

Jiang Baili looked at the combat map hanging on the wall, pondered for a long time, turned his head to Zhang Xinghan and said: "Bench, I think that since the US army has fled into the mountains, it is very unlikely that they will turn back.

However, just in case, I suggested that the best elite troops be drawn from the frontline troops and stay at the Iriyama Pass around Myitkyina and Lashio.

At the same time, planes were dispatched from time to time to carry out pursuit air raids on the US troops who had fled into the deep mountains and forests.

On the frontal battlefield, our eastern and western armies should immediately march along the railway to Mandalay, Rangoon, and other important Burmese towns.

The troops stationed there, the 2nd and 3rd Airborne Regiments suffered heavy casualties, so they were left to rest and recuperate, and secondly, they were to hold the communication arteries such as Myitkyina and Lashio.

It can also be used as a means of counterbalancing the armies that swept south through Southeast Asia. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xinghan nodded approvingly: "That is reasonable, Zhongzi, I will send a telegram to the front line immediately." ”

"Yes." Guo Zhong hurriedly took the order and left.

…………

Three days later, Zhang Lingfu, Tang Huaiyuan, Du Yuming, Sun Liren and others led hundreds of thousands of troops to march along the railway and highway lines to southern Burma.

The main forces of the Anglo-American coalition had fled deep into the mountains, and the defenses of the towns along the way were extremely weak. In addition, the Chinese army was covered by a large number of aircraft and helicopters from the army and aviation units, and the various forces were evenly matched.

In just three days, he drove more than 200 kilometers and saw that he was about to enter the city of Mandalay.

MacArthur fled Mandalay overnight by warship from the Irrawaddy River, and the Anglo-American defenders in Mandalay retreated south along the railway line to Yangon, formally abandoning the important town in central Burma.

As soon as the US troops withdrew from the front foot, the vanguard of a regiment led by Dai Anlan of Du Yuming's department arrived in the eastern suburbs of Mandalay.

Facing almost no resistance, Dianlan commanded his troops to easily storm the city of Mandalay, and some of the remaining Burmese servants cleverly threw the British flag off the city and replaced it with the flag of the national army that they had obtained from nowhere.

…………

The White House, Office of the President.

The atmosphere here is quite heavy. Marshall and Nimitz, the commander-in-chief of the Pacific Theater of Operations, who had hurried back from Hawaii, were standing on thin ice.

Roosevelt, who had always been very respectful to them, was standing by the window of his office with a grim face at the moment, silent.

Suddenly, Roosevelt turned around and asked, as if talking to himself and asking, "Where did the new planes of the Chinese army come from?" Their level of science and technology is so backward, how can they develop one after another new aircraft that even the United States of America is not equipped with? ”

Marshall said: "Mr. President, the Chinese and the Germans are now in a strategic alliance, will their new aircraft be aided by the Germans?" ”

Nimitz nodded, and they could only choose to believe that the new planes that directly led to the collapse of the situation in Burma were made by the Germans.

This is more acceptable to them than the fighters produced by the Chinese.

Roosevelt sighed heavily and asked Marshall, "What are we going to do now?" The situation in Myanmar is out of control. It's likely to affect the whole of Southeast Asia, do you have any good ideas? ”

"Mr. President, I think we must prepare for the worst, such as losing the colonies of Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and other French allies, and the Burma colonies of British allies.

Of course. The Chinese army may also attack Siam, so we don't need to worry about this, and it is better for them to fight the Siamese, which will be more beneficial to us.

At the same time, we also want to increase the defense of the British colony of Indochina as much as possible. In order to prevent the Chinese army from taking the opportunity to advance westward and capture India.

By holding India, the Malaysian archipelago, the Philippine archipelago, and the Indonesian archipelago, we can secure our military presence in Asia, especially in the western Pacific.

As long as the time comes. We can launch a counteroffensive against the Chinese at any time. ”

"Do you have to give up Burma and Vietnam?" Roosevelt seemed to be a little unwilling, and as soon as the war began, Britain and France and other allies lost their colonies in Southeast Asia, which made Roosevelt very difficult.

"At this stage, this is a last resort, and our 100,000 troops are still lost in the mountains and forests of Myanmar.

The outcome of a war is not determined by overnight gains and losses.

This kind of war between major powers is a struggle for comprehensive national strength, war potential, and scientific and technological strength, and temporary concessions do not mean that we have completely failed. Marshall advised.

Roosevelt nodded undeniably, turned his eyes to the window, and the light of the setting sun shone in, and Roosevelt's eyes were closed and he had to turn his head.

…………

While the Dian Army and the Central Army captured Mandalay and marched to southern Burma, the Guangxi Gui Army and the Gu Zhutong Division of the Central Army in Guangxi also entered northern Vietnam and northeastern Laos.

The French mercenaries on the territory were weak and were no match for the Chinese Southwestern Frontier Guards.

After a month of continuous operations, more than 600,000 troops of the Southwest Frontier Army divided their routes and swept Britain, the United States, France, and other countries in Burma, Vietnam, and Laos to join the army.

Conquered most of the territory of the Indochina Peninsula except Cambodia and Siam (Thailand).

It faces Cambodia and Siam in the southeast, and the Malay Peninsula across the sea in the southwest.

Nearly 100,000 Anglo-American troops who had fled into the mountains and forests of Burma were forced to surrender to the Chinese army when they learned that Rangoon had been captured by the Chinese army and that there was no way to retreat.

But when they came out of the primeval forest with great difficulty, less than half of the original army of more than 80,000 remained, and the rest were either scattered or killed by disease and other jungle killers.

The remaining 30,000 or so surrendered and were immediately imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp in Mandalay.

It didn't take long for him to be taken to the Sino-Burmese border along with tens of thousands of Burmese servant prisoners, because Zhang Xinghan had decided to build a China-Burma highway to facilitate future connections between the southwest and the Indochina Peninsula.

It is also to prepare for the future large-scale migration, cultural, economic and other aspects of export.

At the same time, there were also frequent good news on the northern battlefield.

After more than a month of long-distance strangulation, the two major frontier armies in the northeast and northwest finally wiped out the Soviet people's vital forces in the Far East.

On the same day that the southwestern Chinese frontier army invaded Rangoon, Gao Chu led his troops to attack Lake Belga, and Ge Quanwu, the elite of Du Ting's department, led 30,000 men to recover Sakhalin Island, and the Soviet troops on the island were completely annihilated.

The battle flag of the National Revolutionary Army fluttered on Sakhalin Island and on the shores of Lake Belga.

In less than half a year, the Nationalist army regained millions of square kilometers of territory stretching from Lake Belga in the west, Sakhalin Island in the north, and the sea in the east.

In addition, the battle flag of the Nationalist Army to the south flew to the southernmost tip of the Indochina Peninsula, and to the southeast, Chinese warships and warplanes began to cruise in the waters and skies of the Japanese archipelago.

Zhang Xinghan, Jiang Baili and others have returned to Nanjing from Kunming.

As soon as he arrived in Nanjing, Zhang Xinghan called Zhou Gong, Zhu Gong and others to discuss whether to use troops against Siam and Cambodia.

In order to ensure the security and absolute dominance of the Southwest Chinese Expeditionary Force in the Indochina Peninsula, the Military Council finally decided to send troops to Siam and Cambodia.

The Kingdom of Siam was ordered to surrender to the Chinese army within a week.
