, Chapter 1094 is not yet hot

Alexander, Stilwell and Chen Cheng stopped in Tengchong, anxiously waiting for Tang Qiuli to come back, now, Alexander didn't even have the courage to leave with his sleeves up, most of the cruel words he said to Chen Cheng were to put pressure on Chen Cheng, trying to get through the national government, put huge pressure on Tang Qiuli, and achieve his own goals.

Alexander, who was anxious and anxious, urged Chen Cheng countless times a day, Chen Cheng had to call Chang Feng again and again to ask about Tang Qiuli's whereabouts, Chang Feng replied the same every time, the division commander had received a telegram and was on his way back to Tengchong, and Tang someone, who was regarded as the savior of hundreds of thousands of British soldiers in Burma, was in Tengchong County, with his wife Mei Xue, with the special guards, leisurely traveling around the mountains and rivers every day.

The large and small scenic spots near Tengchong have been visited, even the inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, Tang Qiuli has to be interested in exploring, rare leisure time, accompanied by his wife and brothers, tired of playing, just around the green trees, beside the flowing stream, light a bonfire, carry out game barbecue, and rare poetry, make a few masterpieces that make Mei Xue laugh.

In terms of the level of ancient Chinese, Tang Qiuli, a person who traveled from modern times, is not a little worse than Mei Xue, who has received a strict private school education since childhood, so much so that Mei Xue said to him when no one was around, "Qiuli, your poems, let me read them alone," the implication is that you Master Tang, don't be embarrassed by this thing.

Tang Qiuli didn't care, as if he didn't hear his wife's teasing words, but said unashamedly: "Xue'er, you must record it and keep it as our heirloom in the future, so that the children can also see his father's literary talents," Mei Xue couldn't help but be stunned, and muttered to herself in her heart, "At this level, leave it to your children, don't teach my children badly." ”

Thinking of the child, he suddenly blushed, and then, he glared at Tang Qiuli fiercely, he was helpless about someone's self-absorption, when Chang Feng went into the mountains to find Tang Qiuli, it was already a day later, looking at the smoke curling and the aroma of game roasting on the fire, the division commander sat cross-legged, and several special guards were busy before and after, and they couldn't help but smile, feeling sorry for Alexander.

Seeing Chang Feng coming, Tang Qiuli raised his hand and greeted: "Chang Feng, it's better to come early than to come smartly, sit down, this hare has just been roasted, how about tasting my craftsmanship?" Chang Feng was infected by this relaxed and comfortable scene, so he let go of the questions in his head, ate a lot, and praised it while eating.

Tang Qiuli asked casually, "How is the guest's affection?" Chang Feng replied more simply, just four words, "anxious," Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "That's right, what is the situation in Mandalay?" Chang Feng put down his rabbit legs, paused slightly, and replied thoughtfully: "According to the intelligence department, the two Japanese vanguard troops arrived at Taunggyi in the southeast of Mandalay and Mitiekong in the south direction, and in two days, they could force into the outskirts of Mandalay. ”

Tang Qiu didn't raise his head to deal with the game, and then asked, "How do the British in Mandalay react?" Chang Feng shook his head and said incredulously: "Division commander, I really don't understand, Taunggyi and Mi Tie Control are the first barrier for the security of southern Mandalay, the terrain is complex, and it is the area that is most conducive to establishing a blocking line, and the British army in the two places did not release a single soldier, and the Japanese army did not fire a single shot, so in the north, there is no such good terrain conditions to be used, what are the British thinking?" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled coldly, as if answering Chang Feng's question, as if he was talking to himself, "The core policy of the British in Indochina is to avoid war, preserve strength as much as possible, let us Chinese and Japanese fight face to face, it is best to lose both, when the time comes, the British will go out of Imphal in eastern India, and they can recover the lost territory without effort, which is also the consistent practice of the British." ”

Chang Feng nodded with deep understanding, and then said: "The British are planning to let us cover the westward retreat to India, for them to block the Japanese army attacking from the north, in the Burma battlefield, the British army's combat effectiveness and will to fight, has been in an extremely low ebb, the army is discouraged, no fighting spirit, it seems that there is no hope at all, the British army can help us share some of the pressure, it is fortunate not to help," he seemed to be quite emotional.

Tang Qiuli looked at Chang Feng very strangely, and said: "Chang Feng, how can you have the idea of counting on the British to help, this is unacceptable, remember, our troops, once they enter Burma to fight, do not have any form of cooperation with the British army, adhere to the principle of independent operations, do not believe in any allied forces, in the face of interests, can be betrayed, especially the European powers, you put down your body from Alexander, and personally went to Tengchong, did you not smell the smell of conspiracy?" Not long ago, he was going to unite with the Japanese to deal with us! ”

In history, the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Burma to fight, and most of the battles were to cover the British army's westward retreat from India, and even in the main defense area, the British army who defended together was thousands of people, leaving the squadron, not even saying hello, and fleeing overnight.

Chang Feng felt a little ashamed, the division commander rarely used such words that were not harsh, but very serious, to talk about himself, he fell into thought, Tang Qiuli didn't speak again, give him a little time to digest, in fact, it was not from the later generations, Tang Qiuli's approach to the British in Burma may not be more thorough than Chang Feng, this is the benefit of being a human being in two lives.

Chang Feng returned to Tengchong County with a sense and shock, and continued to communicate with Alexander and them, before leaving, Chang Feng asked Tang Qiuli, "Commander, how should I reply to Chen Cheng's constant inquiries, whether to give them a clear meeting date?" ”

Tang Qiuli said lightly: "Tell Chen Cheng, I am on the way back to Tengchong, don't give them a clear time, and now, when I meet the British and the Americans, the time is not yet ripe, Alexander's troops in Mandalay have not been consumed by the Japanese to the point of collapse, and meeting too early will not achieve the best effect, and it is estimated that it will be soon, when the Japanese army beat the British to vomit blood, it is when I meet with them, pay more attention to the battle situation in Mandalay." ”

Another two days passed, Chen Cheng was about to be driven crazy by Alexander, Alexander didn't dare to find Chang Feng, so he caught Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng didn't dare to lose his temper with Chang Feng, let alone urge Tang Qiu to leave this figure that Chairman Jiang couldn't even provoke, Chen Cheng was a heavyweight in Chongqing's national government, but when he arrived in Tengchong, he became a little daughter-in-law who was angry at both ends, and in a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

On the third day, the situation in Burma changed, the vanguard of the two divisions on the left and right flanks of the Japanese army, approaching the line from Ye'an to Indo, which was less than 50 kilometers away from Mandalay, and the news came out that more than 400,000 Anglo-Burmese troops in Mandalay were in chaos, and Major General Francis, chief of staff of the British army sitting in Mandalay, hurriedly dispatched the 11th mechanized infantry division of the British army, the 14th light infantry division, the fifth, sixth, and ninth mixed brigades of the British-Burmese army, and the third and fourth tank regiments of the British army to form the Ye'an and Indo defense clusters.

This is the most elite of all the British troops concentrated in Mandalay, and it is also Alexander's last capital, which was used as the vanguard of the whole army when preparing to withdraw westward to India.

Francis first sent troops, and then reported to Alexander, when is it, but also to keep a hand, Francis is very dissatisfied with Alexander's approach, if Ye'an and Indo are occupied by the Japanese, Mandalay loses the last line, barely usable defensive front, the Japanese only need a charge, less than half a day, can hit under the city of Mandalay.

After receiving Francis's telegram, Alexander, like a cat whose tail had been trampled, jumped up and shouted at Chen Cheng, "General Chen, the Japanese army has approached Ye'an and Indo, which are only fifty kilometers away from Mandalay, if Tang Qiuli does not send troops to Burma again to participate in the battle against the Japanese army, thus causing the British army to suffer heavy losses and Burma falls, you Chinese, you must bear a qiē responsibility!" ”

The clay figure still has three points of anger, Chen Cheng urges and asks Alexander every day, and is pushed by the Tai Chi who is not yin and yang, and he has long been haggard and burnt, and the taste of being sandwiched in the middle is absolutely uncomfortable, and now, Alexander has begun to go crazy, Chen Cheng can no longer suppress the anger, and stands up Teng, his eyes are round.

He shouted in a voice higher than Alexander: "General, let me remind you that the power to send troops or not is in the hands of Vice Chairman Tang, even if Vice Chairman Tang immediately sends troops to Mandalay, it will take at least four days or more, then, during this period, the more than 400,000 British troops stationed in Mandalay should not do something?" Just watched the Japanese army enter a no-man's land and go straight to Mandalay, so we had to wait until our squadron went to block and defend? ”

Alexander opened his blue eyes, looked at Chen Cheng, who was round in his neck, and shook his head in disbelief, this Chinese general, who has always been submissive, was unusually unusual, yelling at himself, and couldn't help but restrain his arrogance a lot, frankly speaking, Chen Cheng's forced question, Alexander couldn't answer.

I can't tell Chen Cheng clearly, our British Empire's army is preparing to withdraw to India, and your squadron is covering our retreat, Alexander was annoyed and angry, but he couldn't find the right words to refute Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng did not show weakness, and the two were like fighting roosters, not giving in to each other, glaring angrily.

In the end, it was Stilwell who made peace, so he held the two of them, Tang Qiuli had not yet shown up, and bad news came from Mandalay, Francis sent to block the Japanese Anglo-Burmese army Ye'an, Indo defense cluster, and the Japanese vanguard just had a big defeat.
