After receiving a report of the enemy situation of the Japanese army advancing towards Tonggu at the divisional headquarters, he immediately dispatched a motorcycle search team to follow the railway along the railway with the Burmese Huaqiao Volunteers, and found an excellent ambush position 30 kilometers south of Tonggu. \\、0m//

There is a small lake to the south, a small hill to the north, densely covered with woods, and behind the trees is a flat land, and the road is only forty meters from the woods. The north side is condescending, and the south side is unsheltered and barricaded, and the entire highway can be seen at a glance.

This search captain is also a bold guy, he immediately suggested to Lin Yuanzhuo to set up an ambush here to ambush the vanguard of the Japanese army, Lin Yuanzhuo personally went to check, thought it was feasible, so he sent a reinforced battalion to secretly move here at night to ambush.

The ambush was fought cleanly, and the Japanese movement in Burma was so smooth that the British army was about to collapse, so although the Japanese army had China in ancient times, it was still very bold in its actions.

A squadron was sent to the river as the vanguard, and the Japanese army swaggered to Tonggu without any reconnaissance, only to fall into Lin Yuanzhuo's ambush circle.

According to this deployment map, the Japanese 18th Division mainly attacked Tonggu, another wing attacked Moltke on the Eastern Front, and the 35th Division attacked Prome, which was defended by the British Army, and then inserted into the Tonggu flank to surround the new 39th Division, while the 56th Division was the general reserve of the Japanese army. "Tsk, I have to give Lin Yuanzhuo a credit." Dai Anlan looked at the information in his hand with great satisfaction, and the deputy division commanders Zheng Yinong and Huang Zhen also nodded, Dai Anlan turned his head and said to Huang Zhen: "Lixuan sent someone to the military headquarters." ”

Then he said: "According to this information, it is necessary for us to adjust the deployment, our front is the 772nd Brigade, responsible for the defense of the outpost positions of Okchun and Tantabao from Tonggu, this line does not need to change, the Keyonggang airfield in the north, originally planned to put a reinforced battalion, now it seems that it needs to be strengthened, let the Mongolian doctor go; The 773rd Brigade and the troops directly under the division headquarters stayed in the city, and the tank detachment was placed outside the city. Nanyang Station was guarded by two regiments led by Guo Xuanzhu, commander of the 786th Brigade. ”

This Mongolian doctor is the commander of the 786th Brigade of the New 39th Division, brought back from the Great Wall by Zhuang Jihua, and was originally a company commander under Deng Wen.

The Japanese army's action plan was not much different from Dai Anlan's estimate in advance, so the adjustment was not large, and he was very confident that he would hold on here for a week and complete the task assigned by Zhuang Jihua.

"Tell the whole brother that this battle is related to the military prestige of our expeditionary force, and to the prestige of our Chinese country, and the people at home are eagerly waiting for the news of our victory, and all the soldiers must fight bravely without fear of sacrifice. If I die in battle, I will be replaced by Deputy Division Commander Zheng, and Deputy Division Commander Zheng will be replaced by Chief of Staff, and officers at all levels must designate a replacement! ”

The first battle was successful, the morale of the new 39th Division was high, Tanaka Shinichi was furious, and strictly ordered the river to wear the crime and make meritorious service, and the river side Dongyuan did not expect that he would fight the first defeat after entering Burma, and the shame and Tanaka's order were added, and he personally supervised the troops to launch a fierce attack on the outpost of the new 39th Division.

The test of blood and fire began, and Tonggu was reduced to ruins in the sound of explosions, and the new 39th Division stubbornly resisted relying on the preset fortifications, and they embarked on a journey that shook the world.

But in Mandalay, more than 300 kilometers away from Tonggu, the generals of the Allied countries were still debating how the first war in Burma should be fought.

Stilwell and Alexander arrived in Mandalay together, but Alexander's attitude had changed at this moment, and he skillfully persuaded Stilwell not to counterattack, but to organize a battle in Mandalay, first to frustrate the Japanese army's spirit, and then counterattack, Zhuang Jihua did not want to do this proposal.

"Battle? How can it be fought? What specific recommendations did General Alexander have? Zhuang Jihua had to show some spirit to deal with it, he was very impatient, it turned out that he also wanted to fight with the Japanese army in Mandalay, but He Wei's suggestion made him waver, these days he wants to withdraw to Lashio, back to the country, and fight with the Japanese army, but he is a little reluctant to Mandalay's terrain advantage, is hesitating, but as soon as Alexander's suggestion comes out, he wants to leave.

"Our British army is responsible for defending the western front, and we are deployed along the east bank of the Irrawaddy River to defend and intercept the Japanese army at the east bank of the Irrawaddy River, while your army is to block the Japanese army at Tonggu and Pingmanna, and then gather heavy troops in Mandalay to counterattack one of them, which will surely inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army." Alexander's expression was a little arrogant, his gaze only swept slightly over Zhuang Jihua, and then turned to Stilwell.

With Alexander's description, the deployment of troops, and the situation of the enemy and the enemy, a combat map was quickly formed in Zhuang Jihua's mind, and the British army was all concentrated west of Mandalay, and the front and eastern front were all in charge of the squadron.

On the front, he concentrated the New Eighth Army and the Kou Army, and on the eastern front, he put the new 28th Division of the 66th Army to defend Tangji and Leigu, and in addition, only one brigade was transferred from the New 29th Division to defend the vast area in eastern Burma.

As for the Japanese army, judging from the information obtained, the three divisions of the main force of the Japanese army rushed to Donghu along the railway, and two divisions pursued the British army

At the same time, Zhuang Jihua was keenly aware that once the British army was defeated on the Western Front, the Japanese troops of the two divisions could pounce on the flank of the squadron guarding the front.

"But I've heard that the meanness has been lost." Zhuang Jihua asked tentatively.

"Impossible," Alexander immediately denied, and then confidently said, "I have not received such a report." By the way, our Governor's Office and General Headquarters will be moved to Mei Miao, General Chong, and the Battle of Mandalay will be the first battle in which the Allies will fight together in Burma, and I believe that as long as we cooperate sincerely, we will be able to win this battle. ”

Zhuang Jihua pouted slightly, sincere cooperation? You have a good calculation, put yourself in a position that can be attacked, retreated and defended, if you fool me, my 200,000 army will be wiped out.

"In my opinion, in order to show the cooperation between the allies, I will send two divisions to the Western Front, and your army will transfer one division to the front." Zhuang Jihua said seriously: "Also, I ask the whole army to be under my command, General Atlanta, General Shi Qiwei, you two go to Lashio or Meimiao first." ”

"No, according to the order of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, the commander of the Burma Theater is me." Stilwell immediately objected. At this moment, Li Anding quietly came in and whispered a few words in Zhuang Jihua's ear, Zhuang Jihua changed color in vain, staring at Alexander uncertainly, Alexander and Shi Qiwei were a little inexplicable.

"General Alexander" Zhuang Jihua looked grim, and said in a low voice: "You just said that the despicability is still in your hands? Is that so? ”

"Of course" Alexander's expression changed slightly, and soon returned to normal, Zhuang Jihua stood up snapped, slammed the table, and the muscles of his face trembled: "Let your mother's fart, the despicability was lost two days ago, who are you *** deceiving?!" ”

Zhuang Jihua suddenly changed color, startling Stilwell. Then he was shocked by the news he provided, it was nothing to lose his ground, but the point was that Alexander just kept saying that the alliance was cooperating, and in the blink of an eye, it was proved to be a deception.

Zhuang Jihua brushed his sleeves away, Stilwell was extremely disappointed, and after the central ** officials went out, Stilwell asked in a low voice: "Why?" ”

Alexander waved his hand nonchalantly: "General Zhuang may have misunderstood, I really haven't received a report on this, but, General Stilwell, we should join forces to drive these yellow people to the battlefield, don't let them hide behind." This world should be ordered by us Caucasians. ”

"But you know very well that without Chinese in Burma, we cannot hold Myanmar." Stilwell almost shouted, his voice trembling with anger: "Burma is not Dunkirk."

Alexander stood up, his long body, his military uniform was straight and close to his body, and the copper buttons were shining, and he smiled heartily: "General, we should talk to him again, the battle of Mandalay is feasible." ”

"Do you think he'll still believe you?" Having said that, Stilwell still got up and went to find Zhuang Jihua.

After Zhuang Jihua went out, he went straight to the war room. Yu Jishi and Xiao Yisu saw him come in angrily, and hurriedly asked what happened, Zhuang Jihua told them what happened, Yu Jishi and Xiao Yisu were very puzzled, they didn't understand why Alexander did this.

"It is now clear that Alexander's purpose was to use our army to cover the retreat of the British army to India." Zhuang Jihua was indignant, his mood was terrible, and he couldn't fight before the Battle of Mandalay began.

"Telegraph Lu Han to stop at Lashio" Zhuang Jihua decided to evacuate Mandalay: "Lu Han took over as the commander of the Lashio garrison, the new 31st Division was assigned to the 58th Army to garrison Meng Jie, and General Zhang Cheng led the military headquarters of the 66th Army and the new 29th Division to Jingdong to monitor the Japanese army on the Burmese-Thai border. ”

At this time, the 66th Army was completely dismantled, and three divisions, one under the direct command of the Expeditionary Force Headquarters, and the other under the 58th Army, Zhang Gun cursed in his heart while leading the 66th Army Headquarters and the new 29th Division to Jingdong on the Thai-Burmese border, a few hundred miles away.

"Then the Battle of Mandalay will not be fought?" Yu Jishi was a little surprised and asked repeatedly.

"Don't fight" Zhuang Jihua walked straight to the map: "How is Tonggu?" ”

"Dai Anlan reported that they had abandoned their cordon positions and retreated to Ekechun and Tantabao." Xiao Yisu reported.

"Tell them that the original mission will not change, continue to stick to Tonggu, and cover the transfer of materials in Mandalay."

A large number of supplies withdrawn from Yangon are still concentrated in Mandalay, although after this period of rush transportation, there are still a large number of supplies stranded in Mandalay, in addition, in order to give Lashio more time to prepare for the war, Dai Anlan also needs to hold on to Tonggu.

"Liangzhen, you go to Lashio immediately and tell Lu Han about our calculations, damn, these Brits, they want us to shed blood for them, no way!" Zhuang Jihua thought of Alexander's face, and he couldn't help but feel a wave of hatred in his heart.
