, we have to stay in Crying for two days" Dai Anlan thought about it and said, four times in a row, "Gong Dou has been beyond his expectations, new: the 19th Division is against three divisions, and the two sides have fought fiercely for three days. /。 Qb(5).c0m\\Although the new 39th Division was on the defensive, it did not fall behind in the slightest, and in the initial period, the two sides also engaged in an artillery battle, which was unthinkable before.

"You can't do it like this anymore, Lin Yuanzhuo has no strength there, let him retreat across the river. Our purpose is to delay the Japanese army, not to defend Dai Anlan to make up his mind: "Order Lin Yuanzhuo to cross the river tonight, tell him not to leave a single wounded and then look up at everyone in the headquarters: "From tomorrow onwards, we will stick to the city." ”

"In addition, the Mongolian doctor is stubbornly guarded, and there can be no omission.

In the evening of the same day, the 19th Division began to adjust its deployment overnight, the troops east of the Xidang River crossed the river and withdrew into the city overnight, and Dai Anlan transferred a battalion from the regiment directly under the division headquarters to reinforce Keyonggang Airport overnight.

The atmosphere in the headquarters of the new 44th Division, which was located in the church in the north of the city, was even more tense, and the staff officers went in and out, constantly transmitting news from the front and rear to the war room.

The war room was brightly lit and silent, a large combat map was hung on the wall, and the situation of the enemy and the enemy in the vicinity of Tonggu was clear, and a group of senior officers surrounded Yu Chengwan, with anxious looks on their faces.

A staff officer of the army commander rushed into the room excitedly: "The commander agrees with our plan." ”

"Good". Yu Chengwan immediately turned to face everyone: "Division Commander Shen, you lead the division headquarters and the 364th Brigade to stay in Pingmanna, the 365th Brigade Lu Brigade Commander, you lead the 365th Brigade to attack from the left side of Bagong, and Brigade Commander Ye of the 366th Brigade, you lead your troops to launch an attack from the right side of Bagong, first clean up the 35th Division and reduce the pressure on Nanyang Station." In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the Pingmans, I have ordered the 573rd Brigade from the 46th Division to be transferred to Pingmana to strengthen the strength of Pingmanna. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen. According to the commander's plan, after this battle, we will have to evacuate Mandalay, so the whole army must take up their spirits and not slack off in the slightest. ”

"Yes". The generals, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, replied with a bang, and then quickly left.

Stilwell insisted, and Alexander fanned the flames. Zhuang Jihua could only agree to the battle in Mandalay with great depression, but he promised to return, but there was no downward deployment, all the troops were still operating according to the original deployment, and the 58th Army stayed in Lashio. The 274th Mixed Brigade of Lu Ruishan, the vanguard of the 103rd Army, boarded the train at Lashio, and Sun Liren led the new 38th Division and the New 22nd Division to Wancho. However, Zhuang Jihua ordered them to stay in the area north of Lashio and not to go to Lashio no more, so as to serve as a reserve for the Battle of Lashio.

But Zhuang Jihua's small actions were quickly noticed by Stilwell, and the Americans sent liaison officers to each division in China, and these liaison officers were equipped with radio stations, and the situation of all units of the expeditionary force was fed back to Stilwell in a timely manner.

Stilwell found Zhuang Jihua and asked why the 58th Army and the 103rd Army were staying in Lashio, Zhuang Jihua didn't think to hide it from Stilwell, but he didn't expect him to find out so quickly, so he had to use the excuse of insufficient capacity, and the two armies were forced to stay in Lashio.

"Heart, absolutely not, the last time the train came, it was empty, and they have already built fortifications in Lashio, Zhuang, you didn't think about the battle of Mandalay." Stilwell was furious. Still, he tried to suppress his anger. looked at Zhuang Jihua stubbornly.

"You filtered, General Shi Qiwei" Zhuang Jihua didn't want to uncover the hole cards yet, and he didn't want to tear his face with Stilwell: "The 103rd Army and the 58th Army came from Hubei and walked thousands of miles. The soldiers were tired. It is necessary to rest before entering the battle. However, in order to participate in the battle in time, I have already dispatched the mixed brigade under the 103rd Army to Mandalay urgently. Rest assured, as long as Alexander can hold the Western Front, the rest will be left to me. The new 39th Division has been holding off the Japanese army in Tonggu for five days, and they are facing a Japanese army four times their size, and they have achieved the record of killing and wounding more than 5,000 Japanese soldiers. This is a record that the British army has never achieved

I have never looked down on the Chinese soldiers, but the valiant soldiers should be commanded by the valiant generals, and Stilwell said coldly: "In order to strengthen the defense of the Mandalay front, I consulted with General Alexander, and he transferred a reinforced brigade from the British army to the Mandalay front." Speaking of this, he turned around and left, and when he reached the door, he stopped and added without turning around: "I will direct the command."

Looking at his back, Zhuang Jihua sneered in his heart, it is useless to strengthen the brigade and strengthen the division, Alexander is pushing you off the cliff, the battle of Mandalay This pit, you are willing to jump, Lao Tzu is unwilling.

Stilwell came out and called Chiang Kai-shek. Directly asked to transfer Zhuang Jihua, Chiang Kai-shek was extremely surprised, and hurriedly called Zhuang Jihua to ask what happened, after Zhuang Jihua received the telegram, he scolded in his heart, but he had no choice but to call, and explained to Chiang Kai-shek the development of the war situation in Burma and the situation of the British army. After arriving at the report, He Yingqin, Bai Chongxi, and Chen Cheng were called to the Huangshan Mansion to discuss. After chewing and deleting anything, there was a little silence for a while. Judging from the relationship between the three of them and Zhuang Jihua, the three of them are not very close, but the three of them have their own interests. Therefore, it is not easy to pronounce this statement.

After being silent for a long time, Bai Chongxi said: "Wencao is ahead, I thought his judgment would not be wrong." Besides, the chairman of the committee also said that we should be wary of the British, and I think it is better to let the Cultural Revolution deal with it. ”

In this silence, Bai Chongxi figured out He Yingqin Chen Cheng's thoughts, in his opinion, this is Huangpu's internal friction, he just needs to keep his position and not sin Zhuang Jihua.

"I'm afraid things are not so simple," Chen Cheng said: "The committee has also said that we must have good relations with the Americans, and since Stilwell is the main battle, if we insist on opposing it, it will inevitably make the allies look down on us. ”

Chen Cheng and Zhuang Jihua have a secret competitive relationship. At least that's how he saw it, it turned out that he recommended Luo Zhuoying as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, but Chiang Kai-shek appointed Zhuang Jihua, which made him a little disappointed, and now Zhuang Jihua has angered the Americans, which is naturally good for him, so he insists that he should fight a good battle in Burma.

"Changing generals in battle, soldiers are taboo". He Yingqin heard that Chen Cheng had the intention of changing generals, and hurriedly stopped him, although he was not as trusted as Chen Cheng. But he faintly regarded Zhuang Jihua as an ally, and Guan Linzheng of the He Department was strongly recommended by Zhuang Jihua as the commander of the Sulu Theater, and now he wants to repay the favor

Finish.

"Moreover, the Cultural Revolution did not say that he would not fight in Burma, the battlefield he chose was in Lashio, Lashio is an important support point in the rear, and the choke point of our army's logistics must not be lost, in addition, if the battle is fought in Mandalay, the entire strength of the Japanese army will be pressed on our army, and in Lashio, the Japanese army is only two-thirds of the sky, that is, 780,000 people. Moreover, the logistics line is long, which is exactly the target of our army's attack, so in Lashio, our army is much more proactive. ”

He Yingqin's analysis made Chiang Kai-shek nod frequently. He knew that these expeditionary forces were all Zhuang Jihua who had spent a lot of effort to train their equipment, and they could be called elite. In particular, the 103rd Army, after the baptism of the Battle of Wuhan in Zaoyang, Xuzhou, has become China's first-class elite unit.

Chiang Kai-shek was very clear about the importance of Lashio, and he also telegraphed Zhuang Jihua several times that the garrison of Lashio must be strengthened, and he also agreed with Zhuang Jihua's placement of the 66th Army in Lashio.

But in Chiang Kai-shek's heart, there was another factor, the United States, Shi Qiwei's telegram made him feel that Zhuang Jihua's relationship with the Americans was on the verge of rupture, and if he allowed development, he would be poisoned. will affect U.S. military and economic assistance to China.

"Mother's fart". Chiang Kai-shek secretly scolded Shi Qiwei in his heart, and before he could speak, Chen Cheng opened again

Finish.

"It stands to reason that after the loss of Yangon, the Burma war will lose its meaning, and we now have the Sichuan-Tibet highway. The road has been built to the Sino-Indian border. It will be opened to traffic this year, so there is not so much need for a counteroffensive to Yangon, if there is a war in the border area between China and Myanmar. It is also a good choice to frustrate the arrogance of the Japanese army. ”

Chen Cheng's mind turned very quickly, and when he saw that Chiang Kai-shek clearly agreed with He Yingqin's opinion, he immediately changed his opinion. Chiang Kai-shek thought for a while and said: "The attitude of the Americans is still very important, and we are serving the Americans' food now, and we can't offend them too much." Such. I went to Myanmar to coordinate their relationship

"Don't go, the situation is very chaotic now, and it is not safe to go now Chen Cheng Lixuan objected.

But Bai Chongxi expressed his support: "I am afraid that the only one who can convince the Cultural Revolution is the commission, and if he continues to stand up like this, it will inevitably affect the relationship between the two countries, and the commission." It is the best policy to show that we attach importance to the battlefield in Burma and to be able to coordinate the relationship between them

can make Chen Cheng deflated, He Yingqin naturally wants to add to the fire, and he immediately expressed his support: "Jiansheng is right, the allies sent Myanmar into the Chinese theater of operations, and the commission was the commander of the Chinese theater, and inspecting the Burma theater is also a manifestation of national strength. It also helped Madame with her trip to the United States. ”

Chen Cheng smiled secretly in his heart, he deliberately objected, even if such an objection was not adopted, it would not damage the future at all.

Soong Meiling went to the United States in mid-March, and this visit to the United States is very different from the previous one, and she has not yet left the country. Kong Xiangxi called from the United States, saying that President Roosevelt very much welcomed Soong Meiling's visit to the United States, would invite her to the White House as a guest, and the US Congress would also invite her to give a speech.

Therefore, Chiang Kai-shek was extremely optimistic about Soong Meiling's visit, and he hoped that Soong Meiling would persuade Roosevelt. More attention will be paid to the Asian theater of operations, and the supplies for China will be increased to 50,000 tons per month.

Chiang Kai-shek did not pay attention to the thoughts of the three important generals under him. With the support of He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi. He made up his mind and immediately ordered the air force to prepare the plane, and at the same time telegraphed Zhuang Jihua and Shi Qiwei to meet in Lashio, and he would fly to Lashio the next day.
