"George. Barton? ”

"Yes. As I recall, this guy seems to have been one of the people on your Mission's list, right? ”

Based on Stilwell's impressive example, when the Americans again proposed a new candidate for chief of staff in the theater, Lao Chiang specially sent someone to call Qin Wei back to Chongqing...... It's a very solemn kind.

"It's really on my list." Qin Wei couldn't stop smacking his tongue, "But I really didn't expect the Americans to bleed so heavily this time...... They're ruthless. ”

"What do you mean?" Lao Jiang raised his eyebrows: "This person is very capable?" ”

"Not only is he capable, but he is not afraid of death when he fights. If you change to our China, this guy is another Zhang Lingfu! Qin Wei said, "Of course, compared to Zhang Lingfu, this person is more ruthless and more capable!" Give him an army group, and it will definitely not be any problem. ”

"Oh?" Lao Jiang's eyes began to glow. Zhang Lingfu is almost the most capable and least afraid of death among his subordinates. Whenever he encounters a big war, he longs for more such generals under him. But he also knew that Zhang Lingfu's kind of general material could be met but not sought, and it was even more rare than Wang Yaowu's handsome material. But now the Americans actually sent him such a number, doesn't that mean......

"Don't get too excited." Qin Wei also saw Lao Jiang's eyes, and immediately smiled bitterly: "This Patton is indeed more ruthless than Stilwell, but he is definitely not a suitable candidate for the chief of staff, and I guarantee that if this person gets along with us, then he will only be more difficult to serve than Stilwell." ”

"Then you mean to say, reject the Americans one more time?" Lao Jiang's eyes fell silent again. In this regard, he is now extremely trustworthy to Qin Wei...... Stilwell is a prime example of this. And, of course, the previous Eisenhower and others. And since Qin Wei has said this George. Barton would be more difficult to serve than Stilwell, so he simply didn't plan to serve...... Even if Qin Wei said "maybe"!

"I'm afraid it's not going to be easy." Qin Wei smiled bitterly, "You have already removed Stilwell, what about the Americans." It also sold your face, and really recalled people. This time, they sent another fierce general, obviously trying to earn back the lost points, and you don't sell face...... If Roosevelt had known what he had said, he would have stood up in anger. ”

"Then you can tell me about this Barton!" Qin Wei can think of it, and Lao Jiang can naturally think of it. When he said that just now, he actually wanted to see Qin Wei's attitude. After all, this kid is very good at dealing with foreign devils, and in his opinion, he is at least much better than Wang Chonghui and Wang Shijie's gang. Although those two guys analyzed this kind of affairs from the beginning, they always felt that they were shorter and weak-hearted to foreigners. I can't lift the momentum. But Qin Wei is different, this kid can always make people feel upset. Just like this time, a telegram was directly withdrawn from Stilwell...... Although he knew that this was mainly because the Americans didn't want to deal with him, think about it. He's still so cool. Therefore, only Qin Wei was willing to support his idea. He dared to make a decision. But now it seems. Qin Wei also felt that they had stimulated enough to the Americans, and it was not appropriate to go too far.

"As a soldier, Patton was on the offensive, and it is said that he had a saying, 'Attack! Offensive! Attack again'! Qin Wei said, "So." I don't think he'll be with us long. ”

"Attack! Offensive! Attack again? Lao Jiang was stunned for a long time before he smiled bitterly: "Who doesn't want to attack." Attack, attack again? I've ever dreamed of it! But how can it be so easy? ”

"That's why I said he wouldn't stay with us for long." Qin Weizhi said, "And as far as I know, Patton is now the commander of the First Armored Corps of the United States. This was the trump card unit that the Yankees used against the Germans, and Patton had been the commander of the unit since the day it was formed, so the stage for him to really show himself should be the place where the mechanized troops in the European theater were gathered. Marshall sent him here only to use his military talents to save Stilwell's lost face. ”

"Think beautifully." Lao Jiang said disdainfully, "Where is the fierce general?" If the Japanese could be repelled by bravery alone, how could the situation become the way it is? ”

"So, I think the Yankees must have a backhand." Qin Wei said with a smile.

"Backhand?" Lao Jiang was stunned, "What backhand?" ”

"Chairman, Patton's talent is comparable to Guderian's, they command armored forces!" Qin Wei grinned.

“……”

"Boom-"

"Boom, boom—"

Siam.

Harutake Haruyoshi looked at the arrogant Chinese Air Force above his head, and the sea of fire in front of him, and only felt that his teeth were about to shatter.

Immediately after receiving the order from Terauchi Shouichi, he led the 18th Division, which was ready to enter Burma, to march towards Chiang Mai, northwest of Siam. I only hope to be able to recapture the airport and the precious jets in the airport before the Chinese escape. And the order given to him by Shouichi Terauchi, even if he destroyed all those planes, would never allow any of them to fall into the hands of the Chinese.

He knew the importance of the task, so he hardly stopped along the way, at most he only took a short break in the middle of the way, and set off again in half an hour at most. And in order to achieve the purpose of the surprise attack, he also concentrated the elite of the division, led by himself, broke away from the large army, and advanced towards Chiang Mai at a faster speed.

But after all, he still couldn't hide from those ghost-like enemies. When he led the elite of the division to a jungle, he was discovered by the Chinese Air Force, which suddenly arrived, and then a large number of napalm bombs were thrown down...... Under the desperate protection of his subordinates, he rushed out of the fire in a panic, but most of the members of that elite team were trapped by the fire. And he hid outside, there was no way to rescue him.

"Yaga-lu, Ya-ya-"

After the bomb was dropped, the bombers of the Chinese Air Force turned around a few more times, as if they were appreciating the effect of the bomb dropping and were satisfied before they flew away. And seeing their performance, Hyakutake Haruyoshi couldn't bear it anymore, jumped out of his hiding place, and waved his fist at the sky incessantly:

"Coward! If you have the ability, come down, come down—"

"Division Commander—"

Perhaps it was the discovery of Hyakutake Haruyoshi, and a "Hellcat" escorting those bombers suddenly turned in this direction. That appearance scared Hakutake Haruyoshi's signal soldier half to death, and hurriedly hugged Hyakutake Haruyoshi and hid in the bushes on the side again. For a long time, until there was no more shadow in the sky, he dared to reappear.

……

"Division Commander, what should we do? Are you waiting here for the big army behind? ”

"Waiting for what?" Frightened by the "Hellcat", Hyakutake Haruyoshi's anger had long since disappeared, and he wanted to cry without tears when he smelled the scorching stench coming from the still burning woods in front of him: "Chinese have air superiority, and they have already discovered us, and there is Chiang Mai Airport as a forward base...... If you continue to move forward, you will only become a target for napalm on the other side. Do you want to repeat this again? ”

"But, but...... What about our tasks? ”

"Send a telegram to the commander of the temple, saying that we have encountered irresistible difficulties and asking for tactical guidance."

"Hey!"

*************

"Baga Ya Lu-"

Similarly, after learning what happened to the Eighteenth Division, Terauchi Shouichi almost let out the same roar as Hyakutake Haruyoshi, the only difference was that Hyakutake Haruyoshi attracted a "hell cat" and was so frightened that he hid again, while Terauchi Shouichi attracted Sakagaki Seishiro. Of course, seeing this his own chief of staff, although Terauchi Shouichi didn't have to dodge, his mood was not much better:

"Sakagaki-kun, did you come to see my jokes?"

"The leader of the Chinese Air Force is a vicious wolf who is more cunning than a fox! Since he wants to get the fighter planes that have snatched us, he will definitely prevent our counterattack. Seishiro Sakagaki did not sarcastically mock Shouichi Terauchi, nor did he blame the other party for not listening to his advice: "If you want to deal with him, you can only win by surprise!" ”

"Surprising? That guy has a terrible intelligence system, how is it surprising? Terauchi Shouichi howled.

"No matter how terrible the intelligence system is, there is always something that cannot be taken into account. Even if he could keep an eye on the entire Southern Army, he would certainly not notice the Siamese. Seishiro Sakagaki tilted his chin, "I just met with Siam Prime Minister Songkan, and he has promised to send a force to help us. ”

"Them?" Terauchi Shouichi was stunned for a moment, and then sneered, "I believe that the Chinese will definitely not notice them." But with the combat effectiveness of the Siamese army, can they take the airport guarded by the Chinese for us? We are facing the Chinese elite New 1st Army. In the Vietnam Campaign, this unit firmly held the southern defense line, and together with Du Yuming's 5th Army, it almost ate our three divisions! Moreover, Hyakutake Harukishi's report also said that the Chinese had also prepared a large number of napalm. This shows that the Chinese have long been prepared, just like we are in the Philippines. And the entire Indochina Peninsula is densely covered with jungles, and once our people are discovered by them, it will be difficult to escape this catastrophe. ”

"Napalm is powerful, but we always have a way to deal with it." Seishiro Sakagaki.

"Don't tell me that the Siamese don't have to walk the woods!" Shouichi Terauchi snorted coldly.

"Although I don't know how the Chinese found Hyakutake Hakumi in that dense jungle, I'm sure that when they focus all their attention on Chiang Mai, they will definitely be careless about their own back!" Seishiro Sakagaki said, "So, I think it's most appropriate to send the Siamese to their rear. ”

"Rear?"

"Walk the Mekong! Grab some gunboats and run to the New 1st Army's garrison in Laos! (To be continued......)
