~-~ MacArthur is a veteran general in the American army, he has been in battle for a long time, his opinion is not unreasonable, Ito Yanzaburo, who defended Rangoon, is not a good character, in MacArthur's view, around the city of Rangoon, the Japanese will definitely dig anti-tank trenches, and the tanks of the independent division, once they fall into the anti-tank trenches, will not be able to move, so that the infantry will be exposed to the fire of the defenders and will be heavily wounded.

This nasty and arrogant Chinese, let his troops, suffer from the Japanese, the best result is that the Chinese and the Japanese, in the protracted battle in Yangon, kill the Japanese, Tang Qiuli is also exhausted, both defeats, we will benefit from it and get the benefits we want.

The gunfire became more and more intense, and at about six o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright, and standing on this commanding height, the entire battlefield was in full view, just as MacArthur judged, the independent division attacked the troops, and adopted the tactics of attacking from multiple points and breaking through in multiple directions, but it seemed that the results were not great, because the gunfire never advanced to the city of Yangon.

The attack was frustrated, this was MacArthur's judgment, it seemed that Tang Qiuli was somewhat unable to sit still, holding two binoculars, and his attitude was unprecedentedly friendly in front of MacArthur, and said: "General MacArthur, the development of the campaign, there have been some deviations, at present, the attack force is not progressing smoothly, I think, it is necessary to discuss with the general some problems that have arisen in the battle, I wonder if His Excellency the general is interested?" ”

MacArthur's blue-gray eyes turned around a few times, he couldn't understand Tang Qiuli's words, whether he was pretending to be polite, or sincerely asking for advice, but Tang Qiuli couldn't help but stuff the telescope into his hand towards the sky, and pulled MacArthur to observe the battlefield situation together, no one noticed that several cameras, in a hidden corner, put MacArthur and Tang Qiuli side by side~~-- The first release of the network update~~. With binoculars in hand, in the early morning sun, in a posture of discussing tactical issues together, pointing at the Yangon battlefield. It's all filmed.

Tang Qiuli's humble request for advice made MacArthur very face-saving, but it was not to the point of getting carried away, and he only gave Tang Qiuli one suggestion, intensifying the attack. Immediately put into the second-line troops, on the existing attack points, regardless of casualties, non-stop attack, and strive to break through several points, forcing the Japanese to have to fight repeatedly.

MacArthur's method, to put it bluntly, was a crowd tactic, using the lives of the soldiers of the Independent Division. Opening the gap, MacArthur had his own thoughts: "It's not American soldiers who die anyway." Tang Qiuli's troops, the greater the casualties, the better, weakening the strength of potential opponents, is also one of the important means. ”

Tang Qiuli nodded again and again, looking like he was being taught, and in front of MacArthur, he immediately issued an order: "The troops immediately stop attacking, our allied generals, there are new tactics." Then, very sincerely, Tang Qiuli invited MacArthur and the members of the Allied Field Observer Mission in Rangoon to a military meeting to be held soon, focusing on how to use the new tactics he had just proposed.

This time, MacArthur was really intoxicated. It is really rare to let this arrogant and annoying Chinese bow his head in front of him and ask for advice so humbly, this feeling is really good, this person is fluttering, it is easy to swell his self-confidence, forget how many pounds and taels he has, under Tang Qiuli's repeated sincere requests, MacArthur very modestly agreed to the request and participated in the military meeting of senior generals of the independent division.

The sound of gunfire and the roar of tank engines on the battlefield has stopped, and it can be seen that the attacking troops of the independent division have retreated, I don't know why, the Japanese troops in Yangon City did not take this opportunity to carry out a counter-assault, maybe they were scared, right?

Accompanied by Tang Qiuli, MacArthur walked into the conference room of the Independent Division, and as soon as he entered, he was greeted with thunderous applause, and there were more than 200 officers of the Independent Division, waiting for him to arrive, a well-deserved veteran of the American ** team, and MacArthur's vanity was greatly satisfied.

As soon as the spirit came up, MacArthur talked endlessly for more than two hours, and he did not explain the main points of the urban fortification, but repeatedly emphasized that the use of superior forces to carry out continuous forced breakthroughs, that is, attacks regardless of death, and even the role of artillery fire in the urban fortified fortifications was only mentioned in a few words.

Speaking of excitement, this guy danced with his hands and made witty words, which can exhaust Liu Xinlan, who served as a simultaneous translator, with a small mouth saying dry mouth, looking at the hundreds of central ** officials below, recording them hungrily, and looking at himself with adoring eyes, MacArthur was like being outside the clouds, light, and his words have penetrated into the hearts of the middle ** officials who have never seen the world.

However, he did not see that several cameras had captured all of his shots, and such a scene was like General MacArthur, who was making campaign arrangements for the Chinese officers, and MacArthur, whose vanity was greatly satisfied, immediately came out of the conference room and immediately proposed to return to Manila.

Tang Qiuli was very surprised, and said: "General, I very much hope that you can stay and assist me in commanding this battle" MacArthur politely refused, for a very good reason, a delegation from the US Congress will come to Manila tomorrow to inspect the military situation in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific region, and provide the necessary report for the US government to increase its military strength in the region and drive out the Japanese forces.

This is also MacArthur's ability, he didn't even blink an eye when he lied, that imaginary delegation was made up by him temporarily, he knew in his heart that he had already obtained the result he wanted, although Tang Qiuli did not mention the casualty figures of the troops attacking Rangoon in the early hours of this morning, from his face, MacArthur could guess a rough idea, it must not be small.

He doesn't have to worry, since Tang Qiuli is at war with the Japanese, and there are a lot of casualties, then the two sides are in a situation of endless death, no one can stop without distinguishing between victory and defeat, he stays here again, there is no point, there is also the danger of revealing his identity, and besides, his own tricks are enough to damage, a place of right and wrong, it is better to leave early.

Tang Qiuli personally sent MacArthur and the members of the Allied Field Observation Mission to the car to Myitkyina, and hugged General MacArthur very gratefully, with a posture that was difficult to leave, Liu Xinlan, who was accompanied, flashed her big eyes, she didn't understand why Tang Qiuli, who had no good impression of the Americans, became so fast? A man's mind is hard to guess.

Tang Qiuli returned to the conference room, the conference room that was full just now had become empty, except for a few corps commanders, artillery commander Zheng Yong, and several division commanders of the division headquarters, those officers had long since disappeared.

Seeing Tang Qiuli and Liu Xinlan coming in side by side, Tang Qiusheng, who was sitting in his hands, smiled slightly and asked, "The Americans are gone?" Tang Qiuli nodded, and said teasingly: "Let's go, our Deputy Commander-in-Chief MacArthur, with great satisfaction and the pride of succeeding in his treacherous scheme, is leaving, it is estimated that he can smile crookedly in the car at this time, Xinlan, do you say so?" ”

Without waiting for Liu Xinlan to think about how to answer, Li Honggang looked at Feng Jiwu, the two looked at each other for a moment, and suddenly burst into laughter, this laugh, the people in the room couldn't help laughing, Tang Qiuli couldn't help laughing straight, Liu Xinlan's face suddenly turned crimson, she thought that everyone was laughing at Tang Qiuli's words that asked her.

So, Liu Xinlan glared at Tang Qiuli fiercely, with a posture of settling accounts with you later, Tang Qiuli couldn't hold back his laughter very hard, and said to Liu Xinlan: "Xinlan, everyone is not laughing at you, but feeling that MacArthur's clumsy performance made us see a farce, he thought that we were all fools, and he actually came up with such an idea, and talked for more than two hours." ”

Feng Jiwu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said: "Commander, you have done a good trick, you have played MacArthur, who feels very good about himself, as a monkey, do you know, what did we brigade commanders who temporarily brought in to cheer for us say when they left?" Without waiting for Tang Qiuli to ask, Feng Jiwu couldn't help laughing again.

It was Li Honggang who took over the conversation: "Division commander, our reluctant brigade commanders said that even if you watch a monkey show, you can also watch our Chinese, Americans, it's boring!" Treat us all like rookie eggs! Ma Chaoyang took it and said, "That's it, one of my brigade commanders, if I hadn't pressed it, I would have almost knocked MacArthur off the stage on the spot."

Finally the laughter subsided, Tang Qiuli looked at Shen Jun, the director of the investigation department, and said: "This is a good work, or Shen Jun, the director, arranged it, by the way, the three photos have been taken, right?" Shen Jun got up and replied: "Division commander, both the angle and the clarity are very qualified, even when I saw it, I thought that our independent division had changed the division commander?" ”

Tang Qiuli didn't dare to laugh anymore, his stomach hurt, "That's good, it's not in vain to act in a few scenes, you and Director Yu of the Intelligence Department arrange to send these photos through appropriate channels, and you must let the Japanese see them, as for when to send them, wait for my order, and also, don't be afraid of huā money, you must find a master with a strong pen to write articles." ”

"General MacArthur, you can't come back in vain, you have to leave some memorial! The main point must be that General MacArthur, the first deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied forces, personally commanded the attack on the Japanese army in Rangoon and formulated all the campaign plans. ”

Everyone was about to laugh again, Tang Qiuli hurriedly waved his hand, "Stop, otherwise, this will not be able to be opened, the play that should be seen by MacArthur has already been performed, below, a few of you attack force commanders, tell me about the effect of the tentative attack in the early hours of this morning?" ”
