Wei didn't expect that the grand cause of his own design would be contemptuous of Zhen Jihua, and he didn't even want to think about it, so he couldn't help but be angry. //。 ǒm/

"I now announce that the transfer of the army to Chokpadang, the transfer of the 58th Army to Mandalay, Zhuang, you stay in Mandalay to organize the defense, and the westward advance troops are under the command of Commander Huang Botao."

The fighter plane was fleeting, and Shi Qiwei didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhuang Jihua, so he wanted to directly mobilize the troops. Zhuang Jihua was really speechless about this Chinese expert who didn't understand the squadron at all, he felt funny in his heart, but he couldn't laugh.

"It's a pity that I can't agree to this troop deployment Zhuang Jihua solemnly said to Stilwell: "General, you are wishful thinking, you completely ignore the enemy situation of Tangji, and even ignore the threat of the Japanese army to our flank, your deployment is exactly in line with Iida's wishes."

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he stood up and said unceremoniously: "Although I am your subordinate, I must be responsible for the troops and the entire battle situation

"General Alexander is the supreme commander of Burma, and I am responsible for the situation in Burma." Stilwell interrupted Zhuang Jihua's words, and he was also not polite: "If you refuse to obey the order, I will remove your command."

"Only the Supreme Commander of the Chinese Theater of Operations, the chairman of the National Committee, has the authority to remove my command." Of course, Zhuang Jihua resolutely refused, and at the same time gave the order to expel the guest without the slightest tolerance: "General, if there is nothing else, please do it." ”

Alexander was happy in his heart, the British army could finally retreat to India justifiably, but he was still reserved: "General Zhuang, this is the only hope to save the war situation in Burma, I hope you will seriously consider it" There is nothing to think about" Zhuang Jihua was resentful in his heart, he knew that he could only jump into this pit, but Stilwell's plan obviously had a huge loophole, once the Japanese army succeeded in a roundabout, the entire expeditionary force would be in danger.

Without waiting for Zhuang Jihua to finish speaking, Stilwell left indignantly, and Alexander was relieved and said goodbye to Zhuang Jihua easily. After they left, Zhuang Jihua Lixuan ordered Xiao Yisu: "Telegraph to Yu Chengwan to immediately destroy all the materials of Pingmanna and quickly retreat to Mandalay." The telegram told He Wei that after repelling the Japanese army, destroy all the supplies of Tangji, and withdraw to Meimiao, Commander Huang, the Honor 10th Division and the New 51st Division immediately assembled at Ho'an, south of Lashio, and telegraphed to Lu Han that Lashio Lixuan had entered a state of combat readiness, and that the headquarters of the expeditionary force was under the command of Deputy Chief of Staff Gong, and Chief of Staff Xiao and I took a capable team to Lashio immediately

After Xiao Yisu recorded the order, he raised his head and said to Zhuang Jihua hesitantly: "Commander, how can the chairman explain that he is so stiff with Stilwell?"

"Report our judgment to the chairman, he is complaining to the chairman of the committee, he doesn't know how to pretend to understand, and blindly commands." Zhuang Jihua said contemptuously.

After Stilwell came out, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the good situation was ruined by Zhuang Jihua, he was very unwilling, so he found Xia Yanglin, hoping to persuade him, obey his orders, go west to Chok Badang, and fight back against the Japanese army on the west route with the British army, and chose Xia Yanglin because he took a fancy to his background in studying in the United States.

But with such a major change, Xia Yanglin did not dare to act without authorization, and hurriedly asked Zhuang Jihua for instructions, Zhuang Jihua was very angry at Stilwell's action, and ordered the whole army to have no orders from him. No force may act rashly.

At this point, all of Shi Qiwei's attempts came to naught, and he reluctantly retreated to Lashio with his staff, cursing Zhuang Jihua along the way, and at the same time he began to draft a report to Roosevelt.

"Mr. President, the tide of the war in Myanmar is likely to take a turn for the worse in the near future, and all hope of our victory is dashed today.

Today, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Admiral Zhuang Jihua, ordered the abandonment of the Battle of Mandalay and the retreat to Lashio, and the reason for his decision is, I think, a suspicion between China and Britain. It is fair to say that on the battlefield in Burma, the Chinese performed far more than the British, the Royal Army lost all the glory accumulated over hundreds of years in Burma, and the only thing the British wanted to do was to flee back to India, they were not willing to shed blood to defend Burma, and the Chinese did not want to shed blood for the British.

General Zhuang Jihua's performance completely subverted my previous good impression of him, Zhuang Jihua in Burma and Zhuang Jihua in Xuzhou, Nanjing, were like two people, looking ahead, cowardly, and only wanting to bring the troops back to China. China has invested 200,000 troops in Burma, but at the hands of a cowardly leader.

Again, Mr. President, I suggest sending an American force to the Southeast Asian theater, where even a single division can change the situation.

In addition, in order to make the U.S. supplies better used for the war, I demand that the U.S. supplies be distributed so that I can have a deeper influence on the Chinese government and gain a greater voice.

，”

The report was filled with anger, and Stilwell decided to put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek to gain more power and remove Zhuang Jihua, who he saw as the biggest obstacle to a better turn for the better in Burma.

Before the car could come to a stop, Simmons came from behind...", handing the paper telegram to Shi Yousheng. Jiaoquwei took a look and knew, "When did you receive this?"

Stilwell's heart was not as he seemed, but he was very shocked, and the telegram was sent by Alexander. After talking with Zhuang Jihua, Alexander was ready to return to the Western Front to organize a retreat, but unexpectedly, before he could move, the Japanese army suddenly appeared behind the Ringanqiang flank, captured the Ringanqiang Bridge, cut off the retreat of the British army, and the British army of two divisions was surrounded in Ringanqiang. This telegram was Alexander's telegram for help

What Stilwell didn't understand was how the Japanese army crossed the three lines of defense before Ringanqiang and conquered the Ringanqiang Bridge, a choke point in the northwest of Ringanqiang.

Simmons was originally the liaison officer sent to the Expeditionary Force Command, and after Zhuang Jihua and Stilwell publicly turned against him, Stilwell simply called him back to show that the United States had no responsibility for the loss of Burma.

Stilwell is a little worried now, he has no troops in his hands, and if he wants to relieve Alexander, he can only ask Zhuang Jihua to send troops, but he has already left, and then he goes back to ask Zhuang Jihua, which makes him difficult to speak.

"Didn't the British have a seventeenth division in Mandalay, Simmons reminded that this unit was given to him by Alexander in order to win Stilwell's trust. However, this unit was not stationed directly in Mandalay, but in Nawang, northwest of Mandalay, as a reserve for the Battle of Mandalay.

"Why didn't Alexander just transfer the Seventeenth Division?" Jia Diwei asked rhetorically, the 17th Division was not in his mind, but after the cancellation of the Battle of Mandalay, the command of the 17th Division was naturally transferred back to Alexander.

Simmons thought for a moment and said, "Maybe General Alexander thinks that the Seventeenth Division alone is not enough to relieve the siege of Ringanqiang. ”

Stilwell asked again: "According to the information we have obtained, the Japanese army on the Western Route only has one and a half divisions, and the total strength is only more than 40,000 people, and the British army has more than 40,000 troops on the Western Front, how can it be so badly defeated."

A thought flashed through Simmons's mind, and he seemed to hear Zhuang Jihua saying again: "This battle does not consider the British army. He suddenly understood, so he said tentatively: "General, did General Zhuang have long seen the low combat effectiveness of the British army, so he refused to fight the Japanese army in Mandalay?" ”

Stilwell raised his eyebrows and shook his head resolutely: "If the main force of the ** squadron moves westward, it will not only be able to relieve the siege of Ren'anqiang, but also completely defeat the Japanese army on the western front. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed and shook his head bitterly: "Forget it, transfer this telegram to the Chinese, and let Zhuang send someone to relieve them." ”

Simmons shook his head: "Zhuang will definitely not send troops to relieve them from the siege, but if Zhuang does not save the British, then the British will not be able to escape annihilation, Ren'anqiang's British army is the main force of the British in Southeast Asia, without this force, what will the British do to defend India?" The Japanese army could rush all the way to the Middle East. ”

Stilwell's heart was shocked, he jumped out of the car, and stood anxiously in front of the car, he didn't have the slightest way now, Simmons stepped forward: "General, we will forward this telegram to Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang can not listen to me, but must not listen to Chiang Kai-shek."

Stilwell stood still, a smile appeared on his face, this smile disappeared immediately, irritability rose in his chest again, he finally asked Chiang Kai-shek for the command of the expeditionary force, but in the end it was useless, but he still nodded.

Simmons turned to leave, but Stilwell added, "Add what you just said." ”

Zhuang Jihua had already received the news that Ren'anqiang was besieged, he ignored it, but instead contracted his troops, and led his leading troops to board the train to rush to Lashio, where he received a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, who asked him to send troops to relieve the siege of the British army in Ren'anqiang.

"Call back to the principal, the battle of Mandalay has been canceled, and the ministries are retreating towards Lashio, and they cannot send troops back to save Ringanqiang. There are not many Japanese troops in Ringanqiang, if the British army works hard, it can completely fight its way out of the encirclement, and besides, the 17th Division of the British Army is still in Mandalay, which is enough to relieve the siege of Ringanqiang. ”

Zhuang Jihua was still tough, he resolutely refused the order to relieve the siege for the British, Xiao Yisu couldn't help but remind him: "Commander, there is no need for such a hard top, I'm afraid the Americans have put a lot of pressure on the commission, we will send a regiment, we can save it, if it can't be saved, forget it." In this way, there is an explanation from top to bottom. ”

A regiment, without Zhuang Jihua sneering, didn't raise his head, and looked down at the map: "If a regiment can rescue them, they can kill themselves; If it can't be saved, the Americans still have something to say, but if they have to send more, it will affect the blocking force. The Burmese Japanese army is likely to be overwhelmed by the whole army, and every soldier here is useful. ”
