~-~ The news brought by Liu Xinlan is what MacArthur has been looking forward to for a long time, he came to the front line in Yangon this time, originally to hide his head and tail, for fear that the Japanese would know about this matter and shake off the unsightly deeds, no matter how thick-skinned he is, he can't bear the terrible consequences, so he can't stay on the front line in Yangon for a long time, but he can't see Tang Qiuli doing anything to the Japanese in Yangon, and MacArthur is not at ease.

The two moods are tormented, these days, the treacherous and cunning MacArthur has the feeling of living like a year, now it's okay, Liu Xinlan brought the news she wanted to hear the most, a big stone in her heart fell to the ground, MacArthur suddenly felt as light as a swallow, and his excitement was almost uncontrollable, it seems that Tang Qiuli has decided to do it.

After the battle began, he immediately flew back to Manila secretly, and unknowingly achieved the purpose of the trip, and MacArthur also saw that in Yangon, the Chinese and the Japanese were not dead, and the Japanese were not Tang Qiuli's opponents, so it was good to completely eradicate their worries.

MacArthur was happy that the threat could be eliminated without a single soldier from the Americans, but what if the Japanese made a comeback after the Battle of Rangoon? MacArthur is not worried at all, Indochina is Tang Qiuli's sphere of influence, when the time comes, without doing it himself, Tang Qiuli will first fight with the Japanese to the death, since you can't swallow Indochina, then let this nasty Chinese, as a free bodyguard, why not?

Things are going very smoothly, MacArthur does not plan to take out a generous gift originally prepared, it is necessary to revise it, even if the Japanese are completely annihilated in Rangoon, then Tang Qiuli's strength will be consumed a lot, and when the time comes, he will put forward new demands, such as the United States occupying the control of the Strait of Malacca, etc. Tang Qiuli also has no strength to compete with the United States, he needs to regain his vitality.

Thinking of this, MacArthur's heart was almost excited, the situation in Southeast Asia. It's a good feeling to be in your own control and play with Chinese and Japanese in the palm of your hand! He stretched out his hairy arm and was about to give Liu Xinlan a bear hug, Liu Xinlan's willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she took two steps back without leaving a trace, and said, "Your Excellency General." I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, goodbye! ”

Looking at Liu Xinlan's slender back and disappearing into the courtyard, MacArthur spread his hands without feeling embarrassed, shrugged his shoulders, acted helplessly, and muttered a word in his mouth. "A shy Chinese woman, really incomprehensible" Of course. A small episode did not affect MacArthur's good mood in the slightest.

According to the Investigative Service's agents stationed at the American station, "in the evening, all the Americans gathered together to drink, and MacArthur was particularly active, with his eyebrows fluttering, his witty remarks, his face glowing red, and his frequent toasts, to the point of celebrating the victory in advance." ”

After Tang Qiuli heard the report. A mocking smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said to Liu Xinlan with concern: "Xinlan, your task is complete, stay up in the middle of the night, go back and rest first, it's okay to have mountain tigers in them." Liu Xinlan twisted, but she didn't leave, taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention, she blushed slightly, and whispered: "Do people just want to accompany you for a while!" ”

Tang Qiuli laughed loudly, laughing so much that everyone in the division looked at him inexplicably, Liu Xinlan was so angry that she stared and stomped her feet, looking at the movements of the two, everyone seemed to understand, the good-natured laughter almost overturned the roof, Liu Xinlan couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, clenched her small fists, and kept threatening Tang Qiuli.

At 2:30 a.m. on 29 October, MacArthur and a group of more than a dozen Americans, following Liu Xinlan and a group of guards, arrived at a mountain overgrown with tall trees.

If it weren't for the guards blocking behind, allowing the Americans to roll to the foot of the mountain, at least more than half of the distinguished American generals would have made a bloody mess and suffered multiple fractures. ”

To the top of the mountain, it was close to three o'clock, the east exposed the white of the fish's belly, the general outline of the top of the mountain, it can be seen that this is a vacant land shaded by green trees, revealing obvious traces of artificial construction, several tents, no lights, dense telephone lines, winding into the distance, a few artillery mirrors, set up in the open space, facing the direction of Yangon.

From the topography, this is an excellent observation point, overlooking the entire battlefield, MacArthur has not yet breathed his breath, Tang Qiuli turned out of the woods, and said to MacArthur: "Welcome to my observation post, forget to tell you, this battle is not commanded by me, so we are just spectators." ”

MacArthur was stunned for a while, shook his head incredulously and said, "General Tang, I don't understand, in such an important battle, you actually gave up command, why?" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, bright eyes, in the glimmer of dawn, very attentive, and replied: "This is normal, my generals have experience in commanding large-scale battles, and in a certain aspect, they even surpass me, so I can rest assured that they are doing better than me." ”

Tang Qiuli was vaguely reminding MacArthur that the generals of our independent division are all generals who can take charge of themselves, and everyone who takes them out can stir up a storm in the sky, and the independent division has no combat effectiveness without me, although he doesn't know what MacArthur's idea is, based on his understanding of the Americans, they are all insatiable guys, and there is no harm in warning him in advance.

MacArthur shook his head noncommittally, he felt that since dealing with Tang Qiuli, his previous knowledge about the Chinese had become obsolete overnight, and the Chinese became more and more incomprehensible to him, especially this Tang Qiuli.

Tang Qiuli ignored MacArthur anymore, left this Yankee, pondered Tang Qiuli's words just now, went to Liu Xinlan's side, stroked her dew-soaked hair lovingly, and casually draped his windbreaker on Liu Xinlan's body, Liu Xinlan was about to excuse herself, Tang Qiuli stretched out a finger and put it on her soft red lips, making a silence.

A feeling of happiness instantly spread all over Liu Xinlan's body and mind, her military uniform had been wet with dew, the autumn breeze in the early morning in southern Myanmar, although it was not thorough, it was also cold, wrapped in a windbreaker, the girl was moved inexplicably for Tang Qiuli's thoughtfulness and carefulness, and the feeling of being taken care of was so good! Especially the people you love.

At three o'clock in the morning, a trace of morning light had already appeared in the east, the morning star was still hanging in the sky in the east, the front-line headquarters of the Yangon Campaign, Tang Qiusheng closed his eyes slightly, leaned on the marching chair, and no one could see what the third person of the independent division, the lieutenant general and deputy division commander of the independent division who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in the three corps, was thinking in his heart.

Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the Corps, came to his side and said in a low voice: "Deputy division commander, the time is up" Tang Qiusheng suddenly opened his eyes, and at this moment, Yu Guanghan saw that the cold light in the eyes of the deputy division commander flashed, "Let's start!" Tang Qiusheng said quietly, and Yu Guanghan ordered to the staff officers who were guarding the telephone, "The general attack begins!" ”

As soon as Yu Guanghan's words fell, the staff officers had already given the order to the various attacking troops, and countless red signal flares rose in the sky, as brilliant as a festive ceremony, almost at the same time as the signal flare was raised, as if it was instantly activated by the current, and the earth-shattering roar of the motor sounded in the silent dawn.

MacArthur is an old bird in the army, he can hear it, this is at least a thousand //- no advertising // tanks, the sound of starting at the same time, he doesn't understand, Tang Qiuli's commanders, what kind of battle is fought, there is no artillery preparation, the beginning is an armored assault, once the Japanese artillery fire begins to return fire, the infantry that accompanies the tank attack, it will be heavily killed?

Fighting street battles with tanks, in MacArthur's decades of experience in the army, not to mention that he has seen it, he has not even heard of it, and the generals of that country would fight like this? It seems that the generals under Tang Qiuli do not understand the essentials of the siege of the city at all, and MacArthur has a contempt in his heart, which is contempt for Tang Qiuli and the troops of the independent division.

However, MacArthur remained silent, he did not plan to remind Tang Qiuli, and there was no need to remind him, the Chinese he hated the most, on the contrary, he also had the meaning of schadenfreude, MacArthur very much wanted to see that after a few hours, Tang Qiuli's troops, their heads were bleeding and gray, and at that time, the face of this Chinese would definitely be ugly.

MacArthur even had some expectations, such a result would appear soon, the roar of the tank engine, soon after the sound, in the periphery of the city of Yangon, fierce gunfire sounded, the range of gunfire was very wide, almost covering the northern and western directions of Yangon, the defending Japanese troops, began to return fire.

From MacArthur's point of view, looking through the high-powered artillery mirror, you can even see that the bullets hit the tank armor, splashed strings of sparks, and tongues of fire sprayed from the muzzle of the tank, the battle line was very long, and it is undeniable that the commander of the independent division still used his brains for this attack.

Multi-point attack, multi-way assault, disperse the thickness of the Japanese defensive forces, seek a breakthrough, the tactics are correct, but this is useless, urban siege, not this way of playing, MacArthur can even imagine the situation where the soldiers of the independent division are under the heavy fire of the Japanese soldiers, and the corpses are all over the field.

He looked at Tang Qiuli's back eyes, and he was already gloating.
