Text: The Rise of Fame Chapter Seventy-Seven See Stilwell
The roar of the plane once again remembered in the sky above Tang Ji, but he didn't expect that this time, there would be a simple airfield. After the defeat of the Japanese army in a major battle, it was also repaired in situ.
The supplies this time are really nothing, and the arms that Jin Feng bought are enough for two or three major wars. The rest were food, salt, and some weapons and ammunition given by the National Government.
Jin Feng, who got off the plane, was greeted by Dai Anlan to the command headquarters. "There's trouble." "What's the matter, the Japanese are moving again?" "There are a lot of Japanese people who are moving, but we are in a very dangerous situation right now. Let's put it this way, we're surrounded. "What, we're surrounded, but I don't see any signs of the Japanese harassing us?" Dai Anlan spread out a map of Burma, and then pointed out: "You see, part of the Japanese 56th Division behind us retreated to the east to Nam Kang, and part of it retreated to Mandalay, where I returned north to the south. The Japanese 33rd Division and the 18th Division of the Japanese Army were holding on to Nam Mai Hacker and Aji to prevent us from going south to attack Rangoon, and the losses of these two divisions were not large, and part of the Japanese 55th Division and part of the 33rd Division had already surrounded the British in Ringanqiang, and the British had already sent us a telegram yesterday asking us to support. Jin Feng looked at the map and found that Tang Ji was a dead place, "Then we must move, otherwise once the Japanese command is in place, then we will be really in danger." ”
"Yes, the Japanese army that has retreated has been temporarily taken over by the commander from Rangoon, and it is said that the whole army is flanking us in the northern mountains. The 106th Division and the 107th Division, which besieged Sun Liren in the south, have now also reduced the intensity of their attacks and have partially driven north. It seems that they want to destroy us first, and then assemble and wipe out our expeditionary force in one fell swoop. ”
I thought that a big victory would alleviate the current bad situation, but I didn't expect that there was still no change, but it only slightly delayed the attack time of the Japanese army. "What is the situation when the Japanese army of Ren'anqiang surrounds the British, isn't it that the British have broken through and left?"
"This Englishman retreated, just as we had a great victory, and then General Stilwell ordered the British army to attack Ringanqiang, but fell into the Japanese tricks, was surrounded in Ringanqiang, has broken through three times, it is said that there are heavy casualties, Stilwell has called us to send troops to rescue the captured British."
"These damn Brits, don't go, we can't let our soldiers die here in vain." "Well, Stilwell is said to have flown to us. When the time comes, it will definitely not work if we don't save him, you are talking to him, and the chairman has already sent an order to let us obey your command in all operations in Burma. ”
Jin Feng pondered, Lao Jiang's speed is really fast, it is worthy of Lao Jiang's courage, this is what Jin Feng and Lao Jiang negotiated at the Geyue Mountain Villa at that time, Jin Feng is responsible for all the big and small affairs of Myanmar, but Jin Feng does not care about domestic affairs, and waits until the end of the civil war and victory, Myanmar will be a colony, on the contrary, failure is the way out. There are only these soldiers, and there are 200,000 recruits on the border, and Sun Liren's department and Du Yuming's department are in danger, and now they are responsible for rescuing them and returning to China to participate in the war of resistance.
From this point of view, as long as Jin Feng can control these people now, then he will be a proper warlord if he defeats the Japanese. Hey, it's a pity that I'm not in the mood to think about this right now, because in such a dangerous situation, it would be nice to be able to complete the task.
"In terms of military affairs, I am not a professional, General Dai is a famous general in a hundred battles, what do the generals think, we can hold this acre and three points of land in Myanmar."
"In fact, the best route is for us to concentrate our forces now to directly attack Nankang garrisoned by the 56th Division of the Japanese Army to the east, and then after conquering Nankang, we will quickly reach Wan Town directly to the north, and then let the border troops attack Tengchong, open up the road back to China, and complete the replenishment and reorganization of troops in Tengchong or the border. So that we have enough capital and Japanese troops to consume. ”
"How many people we still have and how much ammunition we have in storage, it is better to prepare sooner rather than later." "Now there is one more troublesome thing, Stilwell is coming, if this matter is not done well, there is really no strategic material in the country. That's where Stilwell has confidence. Because we can't do without him. ”
"Forget it, no matter what, we can't wait for death in this place of Tangji, let's prepare first, if it's to be saved, we can just put forward conditions."
At night, the brightly lit camp is also very lively, especially the two of them surrounded by many people and listened to the two of them talk about Chongqing. There were a lot of generals and generals, and they drank happily. But in limited quantities, at the banquet, Dai Anlan said the plan to break through, and the little tail that everyone had raised because of the victory hung down again.
Everything is going on in an orderly manner, but the British in Ringanqiang are sending telegrams one by one, constantly asking for support, and the chairman of the committee also sent telegrams, specifically meaning that in order to resist the war, at the expense of sacrifice, but also to rescue these international friends, Jin Feng pouted and heard the roar of the aircraft engine. It seems that I still can't hide from it.
Dai Anlan went to the airport to pick up Stilwell, and then made a broken jeep to the headquarters. Stilwell did not have a greeting from the Chinese, but came in and asked aggressively, "General Dai Anlan, it's been several days, why haven't you sent troops to rescue, you know, these children came here for your war of resistance, you have to ensure their safety." ”
"General Stilwell, be careful with your words, it's you who are asking us to come to the rescue, not ordering us." "Oh shit, it didn't take a minute for someone to die. You're playing with words right now. ”
"I think you're mistaken, we're in a much more dangerous situation than you Britons. We are now in a big urn, and like you British, we will continue to die if we don't break through. Jin Feng pointed to the battle map.
"Kim, I know you, but if this army is destroyed, the whole of India may not be protected?" Jin Feng motioned for Stilwell to continue. "China's supplies are transported by the Yunnan-Burma road, but since the hateful Japanese occupied Yangon, this road has been temporarily blocked, and now we are recruiting migrant workers to build a road from Imphal to Mongguan, connecting Tengchong in Myitkyina to Yunnan. But now that the Japanese 106th Division and the 107th Division have conquered Myitkyina, they have cut off all aid to China from the outside world, and you really, the hateful Japanese monkeys raided Pearl Harbor, and we Americans will also enter the war, so the American contribution will be reduced and can only be transported by air. ”
Jin Feng understood what Stilwell meant. Then without waiting for Jin Feng to speak, "This is the British garrison in India, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the army raised locally, we need to suppress India, and we must ensure that they produce various products and ship them to China." I think Kim, you know what I mean. ”
"General Stilwell, although you are right, we don't know anything about the Japanese besieging the British army, I am responsible for my soldiers, I need detailed information." "Well, about 4,000 Japanese troops."
It's really a day UZI, what kind of combat power is this, more than 10,000 people can't beat the 4000 degree people of the Japanese, and they still have the face to ask for support, but fortunately there are few people, if there are many people, there is really no way to save them. It's no wonder that Japan swept through Southeast Asia in another time and space. Now think about how low Ah San's combat effectiveness has been, so that the British have occupied and ruled for so many years.
"Well, anti-war fascism is the common aspiration of people all over the world, we will not turn a blind eye to the besieged friendly forces, we will send troops, but sir, there is a long distance from Tangji to Ringanqiang, we have no cars and trucks, we need to rest, in three days we will send troops to Ringanqiang to rescue the besieged friendly troops, and at the same time we will also attack Nam Kang, from the north to rescue our trapped notice. Also, what if we deliver them? Under the encirclement of the Japanese army, it is difficult to escape. ”
"Kim, you can rest assured that once you open the breakthrough and go north to Kalivan, from there you can return to India, and your army can also go to India to rest."
"I want to know how many of you still have and how long you can hold out, I remember that in addition to the British, there should be a lot of local Burmese troops." Jin Feng asked suspiciously.
Stilwell coughed awkwardly, "Yes, there are less than 10,000 British troops, although there are many local troops, but they are all former policemen and farmers, just with guns." ”
"I know that Ringanqiang is one of the few big oil fields in Burma, don't I know that the British army destroyed it? If it is obtained by the Japanese army, then the war will be more difficult if the Japanese army gets supplies nearby. Stilwell put gold on his face, "It was indeed not destroyed when he retreated for the first time, and the purpose of the British army's combat force Ren Anqiang this time was to urge our oil fields and supporting refineries and oil pipelines. "Stilwell is not only a general but also a politician, who lies and does not blush and breathe. Originally, I saw that China had won a big victory, and I was reckless and radical in order not to focus on the United States, but this reason was too strong.
The historical victory of Ren'anqiang was successfully rescued by Sun Liren's 113th Regiment under the command of Liu Fangwu. More than 1,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, and 522 casualties were inflicted, completing a great victory that shocked the world. However, in this time and space, the speed of the Japanese has become faster, and they have driven Sun Liren's troops back to northern Burma in advance. In the vast central part of Burma, only the troops led by Dai Anlan remained.
This mission is not difficult, but it is not simple, it is estimated that it is enough to send 1 regiment, there is an advantage in weapons, it is estimated that the problem is not big, it is really not good, and when the time comes, it is a big deal to buy helicopters and transport them out one by one. It's just that there are only 10,000 people in total, and there are 2,000 new additions, although they have experienced a war, and they don't know if they can fight a tough battle.
After confirming the support for Ren'anqiang, Stilwell also visited the camp of the expeditionary force, and Jin Feng slapped his brain, "It's a bad dish." "What's wrong with the general?" Ergou asked puzzledly, "Hurry up, let the brothers hide all the good guns and guns for me, how to get tattered." Don't ask why, hurry up. ”
After quietly explaining, he pulled Stilwell for a while. When Stilwell saw a group of disheveled, no, it should have been a group of troops in tattered clothes, with outdated weapons but fierce combat power. Stilwell didn't speak, just walked silently.
"Kim, thank you, I never thought that with such equipment and logistics, I could fight such a big victory, amazing, I will call the United States and ask them to come by air, such a good soldier should not rush to the battlefield with such a gun."
Jin Feng also sighed, fortunately, in order to prevent the bombing of the Japanese army, the transport planes were covered, I don't know what Stilwell would think when he saw the transport planes.
