Seeing that Peng Bisheng was still a little hesitant, Chen Mianyue took off his military hat and said angrily: "Brother Bisheng, this morning, this morning, when my quartermaster went to Myitkyina airport to receive ammunition supplies, he happened to meet the quartermaster of the new 22nd Division, guess what the quartermaster of the new 22nd Division said?" ”

Peng Bisheng frowned and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Chen Mianyue said: "The quartermaster of the new 22nd Division said to my quartermaster, brother, for the time being, your 55th Division is hiding in the mountains all day long and digging holes, but doing manual work, so let's do half of our division's American canned food and flour, and your division will also mix half of our ammunition that we don't need?" You don't need to do it anyway, damn it, listen, what's that called? ”

"What is this? There's something even worse! Lu Guoxuan also said angrily, "My adjutant has a cousin who is a company commander in the new 22nd Division, yesterday morning, he went to Gamai to find his cousin, but all he heard was cold words, saying that your 93rd Division is really lucky, you don't have to fight, you eat beef every day, drink foreign wine, and there are 40 oceans to take every month, if you can find a few Burmese girls to wait, even if you give it to the emperor, you won't change it, well, listen, what is this called?" Who the fuck can stand this? ”

"Don't talk about it." Peng Bisheng Huo Ran turned around and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to be a turtle with a shrunken head, just follow me to send a joint telegram to the headquarters!" ”

………… Meng Gong, Temporary Headquarters of the Expeditionary Force.

In order to command the battle of the 18th Division of the Encirclement and Annihilation Army nearby, Yue Weihan had moved his headquarters forward to Meng Gong, and at this time, Yue Weihan was discussing the next stage of strategic ideas with Stilwell.

"Yue." Stilwell raised his pipe and asked, "Are you going to leave the Sixth Army as a new force ready for them to launch a general attack on the 18th Division at the last moment?" ”

"General attack?" Yue Weihan shook his head and said indifferently, "No, there is no need for a general attack against the 18th Division of the Yue Army. ”

After saying this, Yue Weihan said: "If Dai Anlan's assault group can make a breakthrough first, the 18th Division of the Yue Army will definitely lose the courage to break through, with my understanding of Yue himself, they will definitely hold on to the death in the future, and when the time comes, our army will not have to risk attacking at all, just besiege it to death." ”

"Then I don't understand?" Stilwell frowned, "Sixth Army ......"

Yue Weihan smiled slightly and said sincerely: "General Stilwell, you have also lived in China for many years, have you ever heard of the Chinese idiom 'a tiger descending from a mountain'?" ”

"Of course." Stilwell said without thinking, "I like Chinese idioms very, very much, concise but far-reaching, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Chinese, which is very remarkable." After speaking, Stilwell specially added, "Your Chinese nation is a great nation, and your culture is broad and profound, which makes people fascinated. ”

Yue Weihan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The reason why I let the Sixth Army stand still, and even deliberately say some cool things to stimulate them, is to make them hold back a fire in their hearts, so that when I want to use them, they will rush up like a tiger coming down the mountain, and tear the prey in front of them in an instant!" ”

"Yue, you're really good at fighting." Stilwell gave Yue Weihan a heartfelt thumbs up.

Stilwell's words are absolutely not flattering, Yue Weihan's previous great military exploits, Stilwell did not take it to heart, the United States ghost animals have always been pragmatic, if they didn't see it with their own eyes, they would never believe it easily, however, Yue Weihan's performance after landing in Burma, Stilwell witnessed it with his own eyes.

An impassioned speech in the Hukang Valley miraculously restored the military spirit of the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the verge of collapse!

Ordering the new 38th Division to make a surprise attack on Myitkyina airfield was even more a stroke of genius, and it solved the supply problem of the expeditionary force at once!

In Menggong, Yue Weihan even imaginatively gathered all the tanks and armored vehicles together, thus forming an unstoppable torrent of steel, tearing apart the front of the 33rd Division of the Yue Army in one fell swoop, and also disintegrating the pincer momentum of the northward cluster of the Yue Army in one fell swoop, and the armored cluster swept along the trend, and the 18th Division of the Yue Army on the right flank was also enveloped.

Stilwell had never seen such a novel style of play before, and in the world, it seems that he had only heard of the Germans once used large-scale armored forces on the battlefield, and Yue Weihan's courage to boldly innovate tactics without any experience was evident in his courage, courage and extraordinary imagination.

After seeing Yue Weihan's command ability, Stilwell had already dispelled the idea of personally commanding the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

The greatest advantage of the Americans is pragmatism, no matter what they do, their instinctive reaction is to maximize interests, as long as Yue Weihan is better at commanding than Stilwell, better at fighting, and better at exchanging the greatest victory at the minimum cost, even if Stilwell is personally unwilling, the US political axe and the Allied General Command will let him hand over the command.

However, Stilwell still didn't understand what Yue Weihan was hiding the Sixth Army for, and asked at the moment: "Yue, since you left the Sixth Army not to launch a general attack on the 18th Division of the Yue Army, then what is it for?" ”

"Quite simply, it's for Mandalay!" Yue Weihan's face suddenly swelled with a faint murderous aura, and said, "Mandalay is backed by the Irrawaddy River, and the railway runs through it, it is the general hub of railways, highways, and waterways in the central region of Myanmar. ”

"Mandalay!?" Stilwell exclaimed awe-inspiringly, but he thought more and more highly of Yue Weihan in his heart, the war in northern Myanmar has not yet ended, but this guy's eyes have already jumped out of northern Myanmar and thrown into Mandalay, a military town in Myanmar and China! At this moment, Stilwell could only be glad in his heart, glad that this guy was a general of the Allied army, not a general of the fascist army.

As he was talking, Luo Zhuoying suddenly walked in with a solemn expression and said to Yue Weihan: "General, something happened, more than 200 officers of the Sixth Army headed by Peng Bisheng sent a joint telegram, the wording was extremely strong, asking the headquarters to immediately transfer them to the front line in Gamai, and the officers and soldiers seemed to have a lot of opinions on the headquarters' delay in transferring them to the front. ”

"Call back to the officers and men of the Sixth." Yue Weihan said indifferently, "Courage is commendable, ambition is reluctant, please don't allow!" ”

"This ......" Luo Zhuoying frowned and said embarrassedly, "Boss, I heard that the emotions of the sixth officers and soldiers are very excited, and I am worried that they will mutiny......"

"Mutiny? Could it be that they could still arrest me, put a gun at my head, and force me to give the order to transfer them to the front line in Gamai? Yue Weihan waved his hand and said with a relaxed face, "Brother You Qing, you just reply as I say, let them hold back now, and then vent this resentment on Yu himself." ”

………… The Gamai front, the position of the 22nd regiment of the new 66th division.

It was the darkest time before dawn, and the whole battlefield was dead silent, except for the guards in charge, the officers and soldiers in the trenches had fallen into a deep sleep.

The army's assault on Gamai has entered its sixth day!

In the past six days, the two armies have fought repeatedly around the small river crossing in the southern suburbs of Kamai, and have suffered numerous casualties; because the fighting is too fierce, the officers and men of the two sides have no time to collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers of their own side, and in addition the climate in Burma is extremely hot and humid, the corpses of the fallen soldiers will soon begin to decompose, and the battlefield has been filled with a strong smell of corpses, and the Chinese people want to vomit.

If it weren't for the Flying Tigers' emergency airdrop of anti-virus water to Gamai, the new 22nd Division would probably have had an outbreak of plague.

However, the 18th Division of the opposite army had no way to temporarily replenish the anti-virus water, and from the fourth day, a small number of soldiers began to vomit and discharge, and on the sixth day, the number of sick people began to surge, and the first soldiers who became ill were already seriously dehydrated, and the whole person was obviously thin, and it seemed that he could not last a few days.

In the silence, footsteps suddenly sounded in the trenches.

The captain company commander, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by this sudden footsteps, and before he could open his eyes, he pulled out his pistol as quickly as he could, and immediately turned over and jumped up, raising his gun and shouting: "Who!? ”

"It's me, Chang Jianxun."

A deep voice sounded, and then a colonel officer walked out from behind the corner of the trench under the escort of two attendants, Chang Jianxun is the commander of the 66th Regiment of the New 22nd Division, the ninth infantry scientist of the Central Military Academy, in terms of qualifications, he is even Yue Weihan's senior brother, but in terms of merit and rank, the two cannot be compared.

The captain and company commander hurriedly withdrew his pistol, raised his hand and saluted: "Regiment seat!" ”

Chang Jianxun snapped and stood upright, and immediately raised his hand to salute back: "Take a break, Commander Niu." ”

Company Commander Niu pouted his legs for a while, Chang Jianxun sent him another cigarette, and asked, "Company Commander Niu, how many people are there in your company?" ”

A trace of imperceptible pain passed over the young and handsome face of the company commander Niu, and he immediately puffed up his chest and replied loudly: "Report to the regiment, counting the wounded, there are still 49 people!" ”

Chang Jianxun was speechless for a long time, just smoking silently.

After a long time, Chang Jianxun snuffed out the cigarette butt fiercely, and immediately said to Company Commander Niu: "I will supplement the regimental headquarters spy platoon to your company, the mission of your company remains the same, nail me to this ferry like a nail, people are in the position, people can't lose their positions without a position, in a word, you must not let a little devil cross the river, repeat it to me!" ”

"Yes, repeat!" The commander of the Niu Company stood upright and said sharply, "The people are in the position, and the people can't lose their positions if they don't have them, in a word, you must not let a little devil cross the river!" ”

Company Commander Niu's voice suddenly woke up the sleeping soldiers nearby.

The soldiers opened their sleepy eyes, and saw that it was the current regiment, and hurriedly stood up one by one, a soldier's knee joint was obviously seriously injured, and he struggled to stand up but failed, Chang Jianxun looked at the bloody gauze wrapped in the soldier's knee, frowned and asked: "Such a serious injury, why don't you go to the field hospital for treatment?" ”

"It's okay, just a little skin trauma." The soldier gritted his teeth and stood up suddenly.

The soldier stood up, but the intense pain made him break out in a cold sweat.

Looking at the soldier's childish but stubborn face, Chang Jianxun suddenly felt a sour nose and almost cried on the spot.

Chang Jianxun hurriedly turned his head and held back so that the tears did not fall, and then his chief of staff suddenly hurriedly caught up, gasping and said, "Tuanza, the US military liaison officer has arrived." ”

Chang Jianxun nodded, and immediately left the forward position without looking back.

Commander Chang Jianxun warned himself that he must not turn back, because once he turns back, he is likely to be unable to control his emotions and stay and live and die with the officers and soldiers of the "Niu Company" and the ferry! However, his position is the commander of the new 66th Regiment, his post is in the regimental headquarters, and he has to be responsible for the remaining nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers of the entire regiment!

After returning to the regimental headquarters, Regiment Commander Chang Jianxun met with the US military liaison officer sent by the headquarters of the expeditionary force.

The U.S. military liaison officer can speak simple Chinese, and the head of Chang Jianxun soon knew the meaning of the liaison officer, and the only task of the U.S. military liaison officer is to call the Flying Tigers to provide air support to the 66th regiment, which is of course Yue Weihan's arrangement, since the expeditionary force has air superiority, if you don't know how to make good use of it, it will be the No. 1 fool in Tianzi!

At 6 o'clock in the morning, as soon as the sky was brightened, the 18th Mountain Artillery Wing directly under the 18th Division of the Chinese Army began shelling.

The artillery of the army is very cunning, at this time the sky is not yet bright, the Flying Tigers have not been able to rise into the air, even if they are barely in the air, they will not be able to find the exact position of the artillery because of the obstruction of the line of sight, the artillery of the army chose to carry out artillery shelling at this time, so as to avoid being taken by the Flying Tigers!

After 20 minutes of shelling, the 114th Infantry Wing of the Yue Army dispatched about two squadrons of infantry to cross the river on foot and launch a strong attack on the ferry guarded by Niu Lian.

At 7 a.m., the U.S. liaison officer began calling the Flying Tigers to provide air support to the ferry position.

At 7:20 a.m., 16 fighters of the Flying Tigers rushed to the skies over Gamai and immediately entered the battle.

Under the fierce bombardment of the Flying Tigers and repeated dive strafing, the 114th Infantry Wing of the Flying Army suffered heavy casualties, and a large number of devil soldiers did not have time to cross the river, so they were stacked by the Flying Tigers with machine guns on the tidal flats on the south bank, however, the tenacious little Yue Ben did not give up, and at noon, Mutaguchi Lian also ordered the 114th Infantry Wing to make a decisive assault!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the 114th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army again broke through to the ferry position.

At this time, there were only a dozen people left in Niu Lian who were still insisting on fighting, and the spy platoon that had just been replenished was basically exhausted!

At the regimental headquarters of the 66th Regiment, the hoarse roar of the commander of the Niu Company came out of the microphone in the hand of the commander of Chang Jianxun: "Tuanzao, the little devil's brigade is coming soon, and the ferry can't be guarded!" Shoot at me! Let the artillery battalion open fire on the ferry at once! And the Flying Tigers, let the Yankees throw the bomb directly on our heads and blow up this group of bitch-raised little Toyo, ...... quickly"

Chang Jianxun's soul trembled, and the hands holding the microphone were also trembling slightly, but he couldn't make up his mind.

As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, but this is really not soft-hearted, let alone the kindness of a woman, who has never been a soldier or has been on the battlefield with his comrades, will never be able to understand the inner torment of Chang Jianxun at this time, he would rather take a bayonet and rush to the battlefield to fight with Yue Kou, would rather die for the officers and soldiers of Niu Lian, and never bear to call the artillery to fire at his subordinates!

Seeing that Regiment Commander Chang Jianxun had not answered for a long time, the company commander Niu on the other end of the phone directly called the headquarters of the new 22nd Division.

Division Commander Liao Yaoxiang was much more ruthless than Regiment Commander Chang Jianxun, and immediately did not hesitate to order the division's artillery battalion to carry out indiscriminate shelling of the ferry, and at the same time asked the US military liaison officer to call the Flying Tigers to carry out indiscriminate bombardment of the ferry!

………… Over Gamai.

The sixteen fighters of the fourth batch of the Flying Tigers have been hovering in the air for a while, and they really want to dive down to provide fire support to [***], but unfortunately, the army has broken through to the [***] position, and the two armies have been completely mixed together.

"Oh God, oh God." Major pilot Jack exclaimed in the communication channel, "The Chinese and Yue himself are mixed together, they are completely mixed up, they are completely unable to drop bombs, and they can't dive and strafe, God, I have already flooded the ferry, the Chinese are finished, and the ferry cannot be held." ”

"No, Jack, the Chinese are not finished, they are still resisting, the battle is not over!"

"Yes, the battle is not over, they have few men left, and they are probably running out of bullets, look, they are really out of bullets, my God, they are starting to use bayonets, they are ready to fight with me, God! These Chinese are the bravest soldiers I have ever met, and I adore them. ”

"My God, do you hear me, Chuck calls us to drop the bomb, drop the bomb immediately!"

"I heard it, I heard it, God, it's not Chuck, it's the Chinese, it's the [***] people on the ferry position, it's they who ask us to drop bombs immediately, they want to go to hell with themselves, God, what are these [***] people doing?" Aren't they really afraid of death? ”

There was a dead silence in the communication channel.

After a few breaths, Major Jack gave the order to drop the bomb.

Immediately, dozens of huge heavy bombs swayed down from the air, and in the piercing scream of the bomb's wings piercing the air, the bombs had already hit the ground and exploded immediately, and dozens of huge mushroom clouds suddenly surged up from the ferry position, and almost at the same time, the shells of the artillery battalion directly under the new 22nd Division also fell on the ferry position.

The ferry position suddenly turned into a burning hell, and the hundreds of devil soldiers who had broken into the position, as well as more than a dozen [***] who resisted to the death, were all reduced to ashes at this moment! Suddenly, thick smoke and dust swept up from the position, gathering in the air for a long time, as if the heroic souls of [***] soldiers were silently gazing at the battlefield...... In the air, after a moment of silence, the Flying Tigers' communication channel became noisy again.

"Guys, remember these brave Chinese [***] people, they don't just fight for China!"

"Brave [***] people! You have won the respect of the American political axe and the American people, and in this war, the American political axe and the American people will always stand on the same front with you! ”

"Guys, let's brace ourselves and kill these damn devils!"

The next moment, sixteen fighters swooped down from a high altitude and launched an attack on the infantry who were crossing the river, and under the fierce strafing of the Flying Tigers, the infantry who had nowhere to hide fell down like a weed, and soon, the small river that was not more than a few dozen meters wide was already covered with the corpses of the devil soldiers, and the water of the small river was completely stained red with blood.
