Chapter 1092 finally came to the door

Japan sent troops from Southeast Asia to the north from Burma and southern Thailand, and went north violently, leaving the remnants of Terauchi Shouichi in the Savage Mountains with more than 90,000 people, and occupied Myitkyina, the only passage for the British army to retreat to India.

General Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British army, had no choice but to send troops to Burma after many orders and threats, urging Tang Qiuli to send troops to Burma without success, Mandalay had already smelled the bloody smell on the bayonets of the Japanese soldiers, and the form was extremely critical, Alexander thought that he had vaguely guessed Tang Qiuli's true thoughts, and the delegations of the three countries, as soon as they met, signed the alliance treaty, and those who undertook the obligation to send troops were excluded from the core command.

In anyone's heart, it will not be comfortable, there will be a sense of resentment, especially this unruly Tang Qiuli, should pay more attention to the problem of face, he thinks, about the matter of the three-** alliance, Tang Qiuli is excluded, it is a bit rough and inconsiderate, after all, Tang Qiuli is now in his hands and now has enough troops to let the British army in Mandalay escape from danger.

No, Tang Qiuli didn't say anything, he didn't say anything, he didn't move, not to mention, Alexander didn't have any tricks, he was in a hurry, the key is that the Japanese don't give themselves time, stay in Mandalay for one more day, there will be more danger of being surrounded by the Japanese army, no matter how stupid and incompetent Alexander is, he can also see the danger.

After discussing with Chief of Staff Francis for a night, Alexander decided to personally rush to Tengchong to meet Tang Qiuli in the name of convening a military conference on the Indochina Peninsula against Japan, at this time, life is more important than face, Chief of Staff Francis ordered a few more tricks, just ourselves, I am afraid that the weight is not enough, besides, the previous quarrel with the Chinese was very unpleasant.

Therefore, this matter must be pulled in by the Americans and the Chongqing Nationalist Government, so that it will have weight, and it will also form an invisible pressure on Tang Qiuli, although Alexander did not treat Francis very well, but these words made Alexander suddenly moved, or his own compatriots, at the critical moment, sincerely for the interests of the British Empire.

Things can not be delayed any longer, early the next morning, Alexander took a few attachés, left Chief of Staff Francis to preside over the overall situation, took a transport plane, flew directly to Kunming, and then, ready to change cars, rushed to Tengchong for hundreds of miles all the way to meet Tang Qiuli, the true god, in order to prevent Tang Qiuli from shirking the excuse, he didn't even give notice in advance, and made a surprise attack, so that Tang Qiuli didn't have time to hide.

Not long after Alexander's plane landed, the plane of Stilwell, an American who served as chief of staff of the Chinese theater of operations, also landed at the Kunming airport, and after a while, a plane painted with the blue sky and white sun emblem also landed, and Chen Cheng, director of the Military Command Department of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government and deputy chief of staff of the Allied China Theater, walked out of the cabin with a stern face as the representative of the commander-in-chief Jiang Zhongzheng.

Several bigwigs in the Chinese theater got together for the first time, and they inevitably greeted each other politely, and they all knew what Alexander's idea was in his stomach, whether it was Chen Cheng or Stilwell, they all knew that in such a good place as Kunming, they would not hold a military meeting, but they would go to Tengchong, a remote place, and gather there to Tang Qiuli, not because they took a fancy to the soldiers in Tang Qiuli's hands, and they could solve the dangerous situation of the British, and the British were shrewd enough.

Alexander didn't want to delay in Kunming for a minute, and dared to show that you Americans did not have hundreds of thousands of troops, and were facing the danger of being surrounded by the Japanese, and Chairman Chiang did not have a single soldier in Burma, and only himself was in a hurry.

Alexander thought that he had played a small trick, with a few heavyweight generals, with full sincerity, rushed to the face, Tang Qiu left this time, what excuse to shirk, as long as the Chinese sent troops to Burma, Alexander was even ready to open up this old face, but he forgot that Kunming is now under the control of the independent division, the three planes have just landed, Shen Jun's investigation department agents, sent the information to Shen Jun.

After listening to Shen Jun's report, Tang Qiuli smiled meaningfully, and said to Chang Feng and Shen Jun: "Alexander finally can't sit on his ass, and he also pulls Stilwell and Chen Cheng, this is a disguised forced palace, thinking about the United States, Chang Feng, yesterday and today, the information about the Japanese army's northward advance troops, has it arrived?" ”

Chang Feng took out a few telegrams from Wen Jiàn's folder, and then said: "Division commander, according to the information presented by the Intelligence Department, the vanguard of the Japanese Southeast Asian Dispatch Army in the direction of Burma, the 113th Division, has reached Dewangchong, which is 300 kilometers south of Mandalay, and the 78th Division, the vanguard of the Japanese army in the direction of Thailand, has arrived at Chawana, which is 350 kilometers southeast of Mandalay. ”

Tang Qiuli thought for a moment and asked, "That's all?" Don't have any other intelligence? Chang Feng replied: "Division commander, yes, the two vanguard divisions of the Japanese army are equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, each of which is about a tank brigade, and the Japanese air force has been bombing Mandalay on a large scale since 9 o'clock this morning. ”

Tang Qiuli asked again: "What is the situation in the direction of the temple in Myitkyina?" Chang Feng replied: "Terauchi Shouyi has more than 90,000 troops, since the occupation of Myitkyina, put on an all-out defensive posture, intensively built a large number of fortifications, from Myitkyina to Satya, and then to the Hukang River Valley, a total of three blockade lines have been arranged, with a depth of about 120 kilometers, it can be seen that the Japanese are determined to wipe out the British in the Indochina Peninsula in northern Burma, and Terauchi Shouichi's move is undoubtedly to blockade the British army retreat to India. ”

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Okay, in two days, the Japanese will be able to exchange fire with the British and Burmese troops on the periphery of Myitkyina, and five days later, the main force of the Japanese Southeast Asian dispatch army will arrive, and they will be able to surround the hundreds of thousands of British and Burmese troops gathered together in Myitkyina, let the British and the Japanese fight a few times first, and dissipate each other's anger, Chang Feng, Alexander came to Tengchong, you are responsible for the whole reception, you do it like this......"

Chang Feng and Shen Jun, after listening to Tang Qiuli's words, were stunned for a moment, and then, there was a burst of wild laughter, Chang Feng smiled and said, "Master, this trick is too ruthless, right?" If the British couldn't stop the Japanese siege, wouldn't it be the end of the total annihilation? Shen Jun didn't say anything, his eyes were on Tang Qiu's body and Chang Feng, turning back and forth, obviously pondering the true intentions of the division leader.

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Changfeng, depending on the time and situation, whether it is the British or the Japanese, the two sides fight each other to consume, it is beneficial to us, if the British are all wiped out, it is just right, the Japanese have cleared the British power in the Indochina Peninsula for us, the fox and the wolf fight, it is us who are the bystanders, even if they rescue the British in the end, they must let the Japanese beat the British half to death, and there is no capital to return to the Indochina Peninsula, this opportunity must be grasped well!" ”

Alexander, Stilwell, Chen Cheng's convoy, when the dust and swaying into Tengchong, caused a small chaos, obviously so many cars, suddenly appeared in Tengchong, without any psychological preparation, Alexander proudly glanced at Stilwell, the troops patrolling the street, immediately stopped the convoy.

After careful investigation, under the leadership of a second lieutenant platoon commander, he drove straight to Tang Qiuli's headquarters, Chang Feng listened to the chaotic footsteps outside and knew that several big fairies had arrived, he glanced at the staff officers in the room, and everyone hurriedly pretended to be busy, while Chang Feng himself pulled Yang Ketian, the chief of staff, to hide in another room, through the glass, to observe the movement outside.

In the command headquarters, the busy and tense atmosphere is very much the meaning of the front-line command, but the appearance of those officers made several generals in high positions unable to hold their faces, and more than a dozen people came in, and the four guards at the door did not squint, their faces were like iron plates, and there were more than 20 officers in the room, the highest rank, but a small major, and no one looked up at them, and they were busy with their own things, just a pile of air.

The imaginary salute "Good sir" and other etiquette did not appear at all, Alexander, Stilwell and Chen Cheng were cold at the door, this kind of ignorance is more unbearable than indifference, Chen Cheng can't hold back his face, how can he say that he is also the head of the Military Command Department of the Military Commission of the National Government, the chief of staff of the Nanjing camp who exists in name only and has not been revoked, has recently been promoted to the deputy chief of staff of the Allied China Theater.

Although he himself knew that speaking in the Independent Division, he would not even listen to a single cook, but when it came to the Americans and the British, a few generals with shining stars poked at the door like pegs, and no one cared about it, and it was a matter of decency for the national government.

When Chen Cheng thought of this, the fire in his heart rose up, but he shouted in his voice: "Lizheng!" "It's okay, this voice has an effect, and the officers in the room all raised their heads and looked at Chen Cheng with surprised eyes, looking at them like monsters.

Chen Chengyou then shouted: "General Alexander, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Allied China Theater, and General Stilwell, Chief of the General Staff, have arrived!" Chen Cheng reported the names and official titles of the two bigwigs in a row, originally, he didn't need to do such a thing, but there was no way, a few officers of the Central Army who followed him, when they arrived at the territory of the independent division, they were like being half short, and they couldn't take it to the table.

As the deputy chief of the general staff, Chen Cheng had to go into battle in person and temporarily play the role of the master of ceremonies.
