Ranzhuang.

Almost all of China's top commanders and generals are gathered here.

The General Staff of the Republic was located in Ranzhuang.

For half a year, they planned day and night, studied the war situation, debated fiercely, and set off brainstorming again and again for the final battle.

-- In August, the sun was blazing.

After reading the battle report, Han Lihong sighed softly.

The war situation in northern Burma has been in a state of stalemate, and it is impossible for the expeditionary force to make a breakthrough within the year.

Can't wait any longer.

Roosevelt is Roosevelt, very tolerant, so as not to be strangled once.

Roosevelt saw that not only would he not sit back and wait for the defeat of the book, but he would also not give Stalin time to free up his hands, and he would definitely deal with the Kwantung Army before the Soviet Union freed up his hands.

-- Longling, located between the Nu River and the Longchuan River, the headquarters of the Allied Forces in Burma is located in Bizhai, northwest of Longling.

The headquarters was extremely busy, and in the large war room, Stilwell stared at the map with a grim expression.

After the plan for the northern Burma operation was formulated, Stilwell flew from India to Longling to serve as the commander of the Allied forces that carried out the northern Burma battle plan.

The Allied forces in India were commanded by Du Yuming, including the British.

The battle plan for northern Burma has been underway for several months, but little progress has been made, but the Indian allied forces under the command of Du Yuming have gradually stabilized the situation and contained the frantic offensive of the Japanese army.

Of course, Du Yuming can stabilize the situation in India, and they will also play a great role in the offensive against northern Burma.

Northern Myanmar is the lifeline of the country, and once something goes wrong in northern Burma, the five divisions and regiments of the Japanese army in India will immediately turn from rampaging tigers into trapped beasts and fall into a desperate situation.

He laid down three divisions of heavy troops in northern Burma.

Now, the Allies have gradually gained air supremacy, but in the mountains of northern Burma, air supremacy is of limited use.

-- Chen Cheng is the deputy commander of the allied forces in northern Burma, but his deputy commander is in name, and the biggest role he plays is that of a liaison officer who is not very competent.

Chen Cheng spends most of his time in Nanjing, and he only comes to Bizhai occasionally, just to have a look.

I came to Bizhai this time because Chiang Kai-shek was a little anxious. The casualties at the front were too heavy, and Chiang Kai-shek asked Chen Cheng to come over and have a look.

Chen Chenglai, Allied Commander Stilwell did not hang at all, Deputy Commander British Slim also did not hang, and only Song Xilian and others came to pick up the plane.

In fact, Song Xilian was the deputy commander of the expeditionary force on the Chinese side in the substantive sense.

When he arrived at Song Xilian's headquarters, he had just settled down, and the staff officer came in to report that Lan Hanwei was here.

Lan Hanwei's official rank is Major General, and he is Long Yun's liaison officer stationed in the Allied Forces.

What is he here for? Don't you want to raise taxes again? Chen Cheng was excited, he didn't want to see it, but he couldn't see it.

Lan Hanwei is less than forty years old, thirty-seven or eighteen, he looks chubby, and he is a group of people, if he is not wearing a military uniform, but changing into a robe and horse coat, it is an extremely standard shopkeeper of any shop.

No, it's not like a shopkeeper, he's a fucking shopkeeper, Lan Hanwei, this bastard is more shopkeeper than a fucking shopkeeper, he is a businessman among the shopkeepers, and there are endless ways to scrape their oil, which is simply fucking amazing.

As soon as he saw Lan Hanwei's face, Chen Cheng felt uncomfortable. Although Lan Hanwei didn't scrape his money, he didn't feel bad.

Paralyzed, in his hands, Lan Hanwei, a bastard, raised taxes three times.

"Hello Chief Chen!" The soldiers saluted when they met, but as soon as Lan Hanwei came in, he stretched out his white and chubby hands and bumped into Chen Cheng.

"Hello Mr. Lan." didn't see Lan Hanwei's big fat hand stretched out, Chen Cheng said coldly, he didn't call Lan Hanwei's military rank.

Not embarrassed at all, Lan Hanwei said: "Chief Chen came just in time, and Xia Guan is looking for you for something." ”

Chen Cheng couldn't help but feel a stir again, he was not afraid of Lan Hanwei, he was afraid of going back to see Chiang Kai-shek.

Everyone's brows furrowed, but no one said anything.

Lan Hanwei, no, it's not Lan Hanwei, it's Long Yun and the Black God Army, although Long Yun and the Black God Army are excessive, but in the matter of treating the wounded soldiers, they are extremely grateful.

Treating the wounded soldiers, the Yunnan side really tried their best to treat them, not only did not make a penny, but also put a lot of money into it, so that the soldiers on the front line hoped that they could be injured, because they were injured, they became uncles, not only eating and drinking well, but also beautiful little nurses.

"If there is a tax increase, Mr. Lan, please excuse yourself." Chen Cheng is iron-hearted, and he will never touch the matter of raising taxes again.

"No, no." Lan Hanwei shook his fat hand again and again, and said, "It's something else." ”

"Anything else?" Hearing that it was not a tax increase, Chen Cheng's face immediately softened.

Lan Hanwei said: "There is someone who wants to see Chief Chen. ”

Stunned for a moment, Chen Cheng asked, "Who wants to see me?" ”

Lan Hanwei said: "It's General Liu Bocheng Liu." ”

When he heard that Liu Bocheng had arrived in Bizhai, Chen Cheng was really stunned.

Chen Cheng's qualifications are old, but he is not as good as Liu Bocheng, and more importantly, in the military world, he Chen Cheng is naturally a character, but Liu Bocheng is Taishan Beidou.

In terms of fighting, he Chen Cheng and Liu Bocheng cannot be compared.

Chen Cheng took Song Xilian and others to greet him personally.

Liu Shuai did not wear a military uniform, he was dressed in civilian clothes, thick as a mountain, elegant and generous.

"General Liu, hello." In front of Liu Bocheng, Chen Cheng was not arrogant, he was very respectful.

"Hello General Chen." Liu Bocheng was also very polite and greeted everyone one by one.

After entering the headquarters and sitting down, Chen Cheng first talked a few words, and Chen Cheng asked, "General Liu, I don't know what happened?" ”

Liu Shuai said: "The General Staff knows that the expeditionary force is deadlocked, so it sent me over to see if I can do my best." ”

After Liu Shuai finished speaking, Chen Cheng, Song Xilian and others were all unhappy, and they were unhappy not because of the stalemate of the war, but because of the words "General Staff".

Originally, they were the mainstay of [***], but now it's good, they have become hard-working children who don't love their grandmother and uncle.

At this time, the agreement signed by the United States and Britain and the Black God Army on the expeditionary force has been made public, and aside from the general national righteousness and national interests, they all feel that their faces are gloomy.

It's just carrying the work, are they carrying it like this in the world?

That's why the words "General Staff" are so harsh. But no matter how harsh they were, they couldn't say anything.

Chen Cheng said lightly: "I don't know what General Liu can do?" ”

Liu Shuai said: "I brought over 3,000 people, maybe I can turn the tide of the war." ”

[***] and the Black God Army are one, although the Black God Army is very godly, but this is also a bit too much, Song Xilian asked with a cold face: "Three thousand people can turn the tide of the war, General Liu, I heard it right, right?" ”

Smiling gently, Liu Shuai said: "These 3,000 people have undergone strict training in jungle warfare and mountain warfare, and they all have the ability to be one to ten, they can infiltrate the rear of the Yue Ben, carry out sabotage warfare, blow up airports and bridges, destroy the supplies of the Yue army, and raid the command structure of the Yue army. ”

After Liu Shuai said this, everyone was moved.

After a while, Chen Cheng asked, "General Liu, when will they arrive?" ”

Liu Shuai said: "Tomorrow morning, they will be able to go to Bizhai." ”

Putting aside everything else, if it can really turn the tide of the battle as Liu Bocheng said, then this is what everyone is happy to see, Chen Cheng stood up and said, "General Liu, let's go to see Stilwell together." ”

When he arrived at the Allied headquarters, Chen Chengyi said that Stilwell was not doing much, and the eyes of the Englishman Slim were full of contempt.

Known as the king of jungle warfare, Slim is best at commanding jungle and mountain warfare, and he knows how difficult it is to achieve the effect that the Chinese say.

What's more, although Slim is very pragmatic and a competent general, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force is fighting very well, it still can't change Slim's contempt for the Chinese in his bones.

So, at the first opportunity, the contempt in Slim's heart will explode in full force.

"General Liu, this is not a game." There was undisguised contempt in Slim's voice.

Liu Shuai's expression did not change in the slightest, he was still as steady as Mount Tai, and he met Slim's contemptuous gaze and said lightly: "General Slim, may I ask, who will treat war as a game?" ”

Disrespecting others means disrespecting oneself, Liu Shuai asked lightly, which immediately made Slim think of this sentence.

The others were about to speak, but Stilwell waved his hand and said, "General Liu, do you have any plans?" ”

Nodding, Liu Shuai said, "General Stilwell, we have a plan." ”

Standing up, Stilwell stretched out his hand and said, "General Liu, please." ”

In front of the huge sand table, Liu Shuai took the indicator baton, pointed to the places one by one, and said, "We have built an airstrip here...... A road was dug here to ...... The tunnel ......"

As Liu Shuai recounted the battle plan, Slim was stupid, but Stilwell became more and more excited.

-- The next morning, when Stilwell, Chen Cheng, Slim, Song Xilian, and others entered a rather secret valley and saw the 3,000 special combat personnel standing in a strict array, they were all stunned.

Is this the Chinese army?

Green camouflage helmet, green camouflage uniform, peculiar rifle ...... And these are not the most shocking, what shocks them the most is the expressions on the faces of these soldiers.

His face is as cold as iron, and his eyes are as cold as electricity...... All of it, all of it, a thousand words, these soldiers all come together in two words: Iron Blood.

Three thousand soldiers have forged an iron-blooded divine soldier!

After the shock, everyone gasped.

Stilwell was extremely happy, Slim had a complicated expression, and the most complicated were Chen Cheng and Song Xilian and others, their eyes were shocked, fearful, envious, and ...... Proud.

There is no need to look at anything else, the combat effectiveness of this army must be extremely amazing.

Stilwell was very excited, he walked to the front of the queue, stopped, stared at the strange rifle held by a soldier for a while, and asked Liu Shuai on the side, "General Liu, what kind of rifle is this?" ”

Liu Shuai said: "General Stilwell, this is a new assault rifle manufactured by ourselves, which is our standard rifle. ”

Stilwell said, "General Liu, can I take a look?" ”

Liu Shuai said: "Of course you can." ”

Liu Shuai waved at the soldier in front of him, and the soldier immediately stepped forward, handed the rifle to Stilwell with both hands.

Stilwell, of course, was an expert, and when he took it and looked at it, he knew that this assault rifle was good.

After looking at it for a while, Stilwell asked, "General Liu, what can be the surname of this rifle?" ”

Liu Shuai said to the soldier, "You come to answer General Stilwell's question." ”

"Yes, General." The soldier first said to Liu Shuai, and then said loudly: "Report to the general......"

Listening to the soldier's report of victory, everyone was stupid again.

Bursts of 90 to 100 rounds per minute, single shots of 40 rounds per minute, can penetrate a steel plate six millimeters thick, a brick wall 150 millimeters thick, a soil layer 300 millimeters thick, or a wooden plank 400 meters thick.

In terms of use, point firing at a single target within 300 meters and a single shot within 400 meters is the most effective; concentrated firepower can shoot at planes and paratroopers within 500 meters, can kill and injure group targets within 800 meters, and warheads can still be lethal when they fly to 1,500 meters.

Is this really made by the Chinese? Its overall surname, especially its price-to-value ratio, was superior to the Thomson submachine gun they used.

At this point, the generals became weapons testers, and after many rounds of live firing, everyone admitted that this assault rifle, including the surname-to-price ratio, was indeed superior to the best Thomson Charge at the moment.

In particular, although the firepower of this assault rifle is not as powerful as that of the Thomson submachine gun, its simple structure and long range make it more suitable for fighting in places like Burma.

This completely subverted the foreigners' perception of the Chinese, especially the Chinese [***] team.

-- At 1:27 a.m. on 29 July, the operation, codenamed "Iron Blooded Divine Soldier," began.

With the launch of the "Iron Blood" operation, the disaster of the person said to have arrived.

Countless command offices were attacked, airfields bombed, ammunition supplies burned, and bridges broken...... When the army passed through those places that had to be passed, it was easy for a big explosion to occur and the mountain collapsed.

In conjunction with the sabotage battle of the special brigade, the allied forces launched a full-scale offensive, broke through the Nu River defense line in one fell swoop, and took the opportunity to quickly carry out large-scale penetration.

At the same time, more special operations teams have infiltrated northern Myanmar from various small roads and secret passages that may enter northern Myanmar to carry out larger-scale sabotage and attacks.

A month later, India's army began to shrink, and a division quickly retreated into northern Burma for reinforcements.

The stalemate is still there, but the war has entered the next stage.

――――As the "Iron Blood Divine Soldier" operation unfolded, Lu Wenzhao's eyes couldn't open again.

Earn over.

Experts from the United States, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and other countries gathered in Yanjing, and after testing the Blackgod 1 assault rifle, they immediately placed an order.

The Soviet Union ordered 150,000 pieces, the United Kingdom ordered 80,000 pieces, and the Netherlands ordered 10,000 pieces...... Each one cost $40, but it cost $110!

Some people are happy, some people are crying, Lu Wenzhao can't open his eyes here, thousands of miles away on the other side of the ocean, but there are many people in the United States whose mouths are torn into scoops.

The advent of the BlackGod 1 assault rifle dealt a heavy blow to the US arms industry.

Naturally, rifle strikes are also rifles, and the Blackgod I assault rifle hits the Thomson submachine gun.

The Thomson submachine gun came out in 1919, but it was not well received by many disasters, and finally became only the favorite of the gangsters and the standard weapon of the gangsters.

When World War II broke out, the serfs turned over and sang, and the Thomson submachine gun suddenly shook and became a strange commodity.

A Thomson submachine gun, without any accessories such as oil cans, gun straps, maintenance tools, magazines, magazine bags, etc., costs up to $209.

What a profit it has to be!

In this way, as soon as the black god came out, on the other side of the ocean, he cried all over the field.

Since then, the Black God Army has formed an unprecedented enemy.

-- Heavy snowfall.

Standing in front of the window, staring at the dark world outside, Okamura Ninji's mood was as heavy as the lead-colored sky outside the window.

It was said that it was going to be defeated, and it was irretrievable.

In just one year, the tide has turned.

Italy surrendered, and the Allies began to bomb Germany, which was already at the end of its strong crossbow and could not turn the tables.

What about them? On the surface, it is better than Germany, but in fact, like Germany, it is already at the end of its power.

Air and sea supremacy are getting weaker and weaker, and land warfare can still be supported, but it has also been fully turned into a defensive position.

With the national strength of the country, once it turns into a defensive position, there is no possibility of turning the tables, and the rest can only be a death struggle.

As the commander of the Kwantung Army, Okamura Ninji undoubtedly has great power, but at the same time, he is extremely small, because he can't change anything, he can only go with the waves and sink with the big ship of the empire.

"Your Excellency Commander, Mr. Zhang Tongyu has arrived." While Okamura was pondering, the adjutant came in to say goodbye.

Turning around, Okamura nodded and said, "Let him in." ”

"Hay." The adjutant saluted, then turned around and walked out of the office.

Not long after the adjutant went out, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, less than fifty, and a very decent appearance, came in.

The middle-aged man is Zhang Tongyu, a big businessman in Changchun City.

Zhang Tongyu has a relationship with Okamura Ninji, Zhang Tongyu graduated from Waseda University, and is good friends with Okamura Ninji's cousin Nagagawa Shengji.

Through this relationship, Zhang Tongyu and Okamura Ningji have some personal relationships, and the two get along well.

Today's meeting was made by Zhang Tongyu.

Okamura Ningji's appearance has always been very gentle and polite, and he is even more polite to Zhang Tongyu.

After warmly beckoning Zhang Tongyu to sit down, Okamura Ningji asked, "Zhang Jun, is there something wrong?" If so, you're welcome. ”

Looking around, Zhang Tongyu said in a low voice: "Your Excellency Commander, is it convenient to speak?" ”

Slightly stunned, Okamura Ningji looked at Zhang Tongyu and said, "It's okay." ”

Zhang Tongyu was very nervous, and after waiting for a while, he said in a low voice: "Your Excellency, Commander, someone found me through a friend of mine, and he wanted to meet with you. ”

Okamura Ninji's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Zhang Jun, who wants to see me." ”

"He's a member of the Black God Army."

Without much surprise, after thinking about it, Okamura Ninji asked, "Zhang Jun, can you confirm the identity of the other party?" ”

Zhang Tongyu hurriedly nodded and said, "It's confirmed, it must be." ”

Okamura nodded.
