Yan'an, Wayao Fort.

Mr. Zhu and Zhou Gong were invited to the cave of [***] again.

The 39th Group Army's expedition to Burma was such a big matter, and [***] did not dare to make a decision alone, and before replying to Yue Weihan, he also wanted to hear the opinions of Mr. Zhu and Zhou Gong.

After reading the secret telegram, Zhou Gong pondered for a moment and said: "Chairman, I think what Yue Weihan said makes sense, our party should strengthen ties with the United States, Britain and other Western countries, and take the initiative to win their favor, after all, everyone is an anti-fascist ally, and the ideological differences can be put aside for a while." ”

"I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just worried about whether the 39th Army will be able to gain a foothold after it goes to Burma, and whether it will be able to open up the situation in time after it has gained a foothold?" Mr. Zhu said worriedly, "After all, Myanmar is not a country, and without the backing of the masses, I am afraid this battle will not be easy to fight." ”

As soon as Zhou Gong and Mr. Zhu said this, they immediately strengthened their confidence.

At that moment, [***] snuffed out the cigarette butt vigorously, and then said in a thick Hunan accent: "The boss's concern is very necessary, but it needs to be noted that after the 39th Group Army expedition to Burma, although it cannot get the support of the Burmese people, it can get the full support of the British people, especially the American people. ”

………… Yucheng, General Staff of the Military Commission.

Chairman Chiang had a gloomy face, and walked into the war room surrounded by senior generals such as General He and Deputy General Bai and other senior generals, and the senior staff members who were busy in the war room hurriedly stood up and saluted Chairman Chiang one after another.

The three blue arrows on the map are particularly striking.

The blue arrow on the far right has been pointing straight to Wan Town along the Yunnan-Burma Highway!

At this time, among all the people present, I am afraid that there is no one who is more depressed than Chairman Chiang, he never thought that the 100,000 elites who went on an expedition to Burma would fall into such a situation as now, Chairman Chiang originally thought that with his back to the United States and Britain, it would be easy to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and it would be easy to win, but he never thought that what he was waiting for in the end would be such a miserable result.

Deputy Chief Bai sighed, took the command pole from a staff officer and explained.

"Yesterday, it was said that the chariot wing of the 56th Division of the Chinese Army had attacked and occupied Myitkyina, and in addition to the three divisions of the 66th Army that were able to withdraw to China along the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the eastward retreat of the Fifth Army, the Sixth Army, and the new 38th Division of the 66th Army had been cut off by the Chinese Army.

"What, Savage Mountain?" Chairman Chiang was shocked when he heard this.

"It is an uninhabited mountainous area north of the Hukang River valley in northern Myanmar, with a radius of hundreds of miles, and the local indigenous people call it Savage Mountain because of the presence of wild people in the mountains." Deputy Chief Bai nodded, and said, "If the expeditionary force takes this road, it will be unpredictable, but I am afraid that all the heavy equipment will not be able to be saved." ”

"It doesn't matter what you equip." Chairman Chiang said in a deep voice, "But the army must return to China!" ”

Chairman Chiang had special feelings for the army, thinking that at the beginning he was just a little-known minor role in the Kuomintang, and he could not be compared with Wang Ching-wei, Hu Hanmin, and other bigwigs, but when Chairman Chiang became the principal of the Whampoa Military Academy and actually took control of the Whampoa Student Army, his position immediately skyrocketed.

Regarding the understanding of the truth of "power comes out of the barrel of a gun", Chairman Chiang is by no means under [***]!

Therefore, Chairman Chiang was absolutely not at ease about leaving the two well-trained elite units of the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army abroad, let alone handing them over to Stilwell for command.

At this moment, Wang Shihe suddenly hurriedly walked in and said in a low voice: "Bench, Yue Weihan is in a hurry!" ”

Chairman Jiang's face suddenly became more and more ugly, this is really a good thing that does not go out, but a bad thing spreads thousands of miles, how did the news of the setback of the expeditionary force in Burma reach Yue Weihan's ears so quickly? At that moment, Chairman Jiang followed Wang Shihe to the small conference room next to him and asked, "What did Yue Weihan say?" ”

Wang Shihe said: "Yue Weihan said that the expeditionary force must not go to the Savage Mountain, saying that it is a road of no return!" ”

Chairman Jiang snorted and said, "I don't believe that an army of 100,000 people can't climb a mere savage mountain!" ”

Wang Shihe also said: "Yue Weihan also said that if necessary, he is willing to fly to Burma immediately, take over the command of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and make every effort to bring this elite force back from a desperate situation!" ”

"Hmph, he's so calculating!" Chairman Jiang said coldly, "I would rather defeat the expeditionary force and go to Savage Mountain, and I will never give him this opportunity, and I want to take the command of my fifth and sixth armies, dreaming!" ”

Wang Shihe was silent, but he thought in his heart that although Yue Weihan was born with the surname of Ao, he had repeatedly disobeyed the orders of the commission, and he was also very close to [***], but it is undeniable that his military command ability is indeed unmatched, and at the moment, except for Yue Weihan, I am afraid that no one can turn the tide and reverse the decline of the expeditionary force.

Chairman Jiang was still angry, and said to Wang Shihe: "Tell Yue Weihan to let him die as soon as possible!" ”

………… Jingcheng County, Headquarters of the 39th Group Army.

The replies of Yan'an and Yucheng were conveyed almost simultaneously, and the results were also expected by Yue Weihan.

[***] Sure enough, he agreed, but Chairman Chiang rejected him without hesitation, but two days ago, the German army had officially launched a blitzkrieg against the Soviet Union, World War II had broken out in full swing, and the United States had fully intervened in the war.

………… Times Square, New York, USA.

At the beginning of the night, the huge screen has been set up at the north end of the square, and several staff members are busy nervously in front of the projector behind the screen, Helen, who is wearing a tight cowboy suit with blonde hair and a shawl, is also standing next to the projector, and on the small table in front of her, there is a film reel.

This is a propaganda film about China's War of Resistance that Helen asked someone to carefully make.

In order not to disappoint her lover Yue Weihan, Helen put a lot of enthusiasm into making this promotional film, and in order to make this promotional film, Helen used all the connections of the Morgan family, and spent a huge amount of money to obtain all the information she wanted from various sources in a very short time, including a large number of precious photos she took on the battlefields of China.

It was completely dark, and there were already more than a thousand people gathered in the square.

Helen looked back at the staff and nodded, "Let's get started." ”

The staff immediately attached the tape to the projector, and the projector's projector light turned on, and a large white box appeared on the wide screen.

After a short period of gibberish, a terrifying image of the end of the world suddenly appeared on the screen.

Less than 100 meters away from the camera, two warships moored in the harbor were catching fire and burning, billowing smoke into the sky, forming a strange "Satanic smile" pattern in the sky, and in the distance, a larger giant ship had broken into two, half of which was lifted into the air, and the other half had apparently sunk to the bottom of the sea...... A breath suddenly sounded in the square, and in the distance, more citizens were flocking to it.

Seeing the increasing number of citizens gathered in the square, Helen finally breathed a sigh of relief, this five-minute film film she spent a full half million dollars from a small director, said that when the Combined Fleet bombed Pearl Harbor, this little director happened to shoot a sitcom not far from the military port, and the result was this five-minute tragic scene.

Five minutes later, the picture on the screen suddenly freezes, and then lines of subtitles slowly rise from under the screen, and at the same time, a deep voice-over sounds: On July 12, 1941, the Imperial Navy attacked Pearl Harbor, and the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy suffered heavy losses, destroying all warships and killing and wounding the officers and men of the fleet...... The war has begun!

The screen shifts, and a half-world pattern with the Pacific Ocean as the background suddenly appears on the screen.

The background color of the ocean is dark blue, the background color of the surrounding countries is light gray, only the color of the four islands is eye-catching red, and then the red arrows take the four islands as the center, and begin to slowly expand in all directions, gradually sweeping the southwest Pacific Ocean, the whole Southeast Asia, and most of China.

Eventually, all the red arrows formed a huge pattern of the national flag!

The subtitles rise again, and the voiceover sounds again: It is said that this is an evil imperial state, the emperor's soldiers are fighting from all sides with the belief that they will die, they are trying to conquer the whole world, and as the voiceover pauses, the originally stagnant red arrow extends forward again, and soon covers the entire North American continent.

Suddenly, there was a stir in New York's Times Square.

"Don't want to conquer America and kill these arrogant mongrels!"

"America will never give in, and we must immediately arm ourselves to defend our country!"

"Damn, tomorrow I'm going to sign up for the military, I'm going to the Marine Corps, I'm going to the Pacific."

The deep voice-over sounded again: For the American people, the war had just begun, but in the far east, there was an ancient country that had been resisting on its own for ten years, and its national strength was not even one-twentieth of that of the Emperor, and her army was far less powerful than that of the Emperor.

As soon as the screen turned, a Chinese mulberry leaf pattern appeared on the screen.

The voiceover sounded again: This country is China, the close neighbor of Ben.

Immediately, the red arrow representing the Yue army set off from the main island, along the Korean Peninsula, along the East China Sea and slowly penetrated into the hinterland of China, and eventually, most of China was covered by the national flag pattern.

The voiceover sounded again: Ten years of resistance, China has sacrificed two million heroic soldiers!

A large blood-colored Arabic "2" appears on the screen, followed by a long list of "0s".

The citizens of New York in the square were in an uproar, and everyone's faces showed extremely shocked expressions, two million, which is almost the total population of the United States when it was just reading!

As soon as the picture turned, a close-up photo of a Sichuan soldier appeared on the screen, the Sichuan soldier in the photo was wearing a single coat, stepping on straw sandals, short, thin, the rifle in his hand was shabby, and the barrel and butt were actually tied with straw rope, however, the Sichuan soldier was still smiling slightly at the lens of the camera.

Voiceover: This is the most typical Chinese soldier, he has been hungry for two days, it is freezing at minus 10 degrees Celsius, but he is still wearing only a thin single coat, the rifle in his hand is a product of the last century, after taking the photo, he stepped on the battlefield, and then did not come back, he died in battle! For his homeland!

The screen turns again, and two pictures appear on the screen, the city in ruins on the left, and the burning village on the right.

Voiceover: After 10 years of resistance, 200 Chinese cities were reduced to rubble, 20,000 Chinese villages were burned, parents lost their children, young children lost their parents, 5 million families were torn apart, 20 million people died, and 200 million people were displaced...... As the voiceover narrates, strings of blood-red numbers begin to jump onto the screen.

There was a violent stirring in the square again, even more so than the movie that saw the attack on Pearl Harbor at the beginning, because the picture on the screen had changed again.

On the left side of the screen, a toddler up to three years old sits on the railroad tracks, and a pair of young men and women lie next to the toddler, not far away, and scattered luggage.

On the right side of the screen, a military officer with a hideous face picked up an infant toddler into the air with a bayonet, and beside the vicious officer of the Japanese army, there were two other Japanese soldiers laughing, and in the middle of the two, there was also a young Chinese young woman holding hostage, the young woman was looking up at her child with desperate eyes.

Seeing these two extremely tragic photos, the citizens of New Yorkers on the square were immediately indignant.

The voiceover continues to sound: Ten years later, most of China has fallen, two million troops have been killed, but this ancient nation has not yet succumbed, their resistance continues, but they are about to shed the last drop of blood, they will almost be unable to hold on, they urgently need help from the outside world!

On the square, the sympathy of New Yorkers flooded with water.

"God, help them, help these Chinese."

"What are the councils and the political axes doing? Why not lend a helping hand to China's political axe? ”

"Oh my God, I'm willing to donate all my fortune to support the Chinese in their fight against the damned Yuben mongrel!"

The whining and roaring of young people suddenly intertwined, and many old people were silently weeping.

As the film continues, the screen turns again to reveal a striking long-range photograph of a winding mountain road that winds back and forth from the bottom of a steep slope and finally reaches the top of the slope after 48 turns, where hundreds of cars are shuttling back and forth to rush supplies.

Voiceover: The American political axe and the people have extended a helping hand to the Chinese people, and the highway in the photo is called the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which is the only lifeline of the Chinese political axe to the outside world, through this lifeline, the American political axe has imported millions of tons of arms and materials into the hinterland of China, and the Chinese are no longer alone!

The square suddenly resounded with cheers, and everyone high-fived each other!

But soon, the evil red arrows appeared on the screen again, and in less than five seconds, these red arrows completely covered the 48-turn Yunnan-Burma highway in the photo, once again forming the pattern of the national flag, and in an instant, the whole square fell into a deathly silence.

The voice-over sounded again: Unfortunately, just a few days ago, the only lifeline for China's political axe to the outside world was cut off by the Chinese army, and Chinese will once again face the desperate situation of fighting alone, the American army is far away from the ocean, and the army of the British Empire is deep in the European theater and has no time to take care of itself.

Are the Chinese, who have resisted alone for ten years, really at the end of their rope?

No, it's not like that, because China still has a great general!

The screen turns again, and a close-up photo of a [***] admiral appears on the screen.

The [***] general in the photo is young, cold, handsome, upright, with a neat military appearance, his eyes are dark and bright at the camera lens, and the corners of his mouth are slightly bent with a trace of coldness in the world, the person in the photo is of course Yue Weihan, and this photo is also Helen's most proud work.

Voiceover: This Chinese general's name is Yue Weihan, he is not yet 30 years old this year, four years ago, he was just an army captain, but now, he is a three-star general in command of 100,000 elites!

He once led a battalion that miraculously broke out of the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of troops.

He once led a regiment to miraculously annihilate the most elite infantry brigade of the Yue Army, and held the position for half a month, successfully covering the transfer of 700,000 compatriots in the capital across the river.

He once led a brigade to defend the lonely city for two months, covering millions of friendly troops from the battlefield, and then led the entire brigade to break out from the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops.

He once led a division to break the siege of three divisions of the Yue Army, and completely annihilated one of the most elite Yue Army divisions.

Two years ago, he led his troops deep into the battlefield behind enemy lines, and in the face of the encirclement and blockade of the army, he did not ask for a penny of military salary from the Chinese political axe, nor did he ask for a little bit of weapons and equipment from the Central Committee, but miraculously trained and equipped 100,000 elite troops, and moreover, he also founded a large-scale arsenal in the mountains!

Now, General Yue Weihan is the commander-in-chief of a group army, he is always waiting for the call of China's political axe, ready to rush to the battlefield in Burma with his 100,000 elites, and reopen the lifeline of the Yunnan-Burma Highway!

American citizens, let us pray together that this legendary Chinese general can perform another miracle, with his 100,000 elites to defeat hundreds of thousands of Burmese troops and reopen the Yunnan-Burma road, so that our American supplies can continue to flow into China's hinterland and help the Chinese people continue to resist.

The voiceover fell, and the citizens of New Yorkers in the square lowered their heads and began to pray silently in their hearts.

At the same time, the same scene is being played out in the squares of dozens of American cities such as Los Angeles and Chicago.
