Looking at Du Yuming's smiling face, Zhou Weiguo shook his head helplessly, "What equipment does Brother Du need?" ”
"Our 5th Army was expanded from the original 200th Division, and the title of mechanized troops is also because of the expansion of the number of troops, so I can't afford it." Du Yuming thought for a while, "But your independent division doesn't seem to produce combat vehicles, so it's a real pity." ”
Zhou Weiguo smiled bitterly, if he could produce, he would also want to produce, but the productivity could not keep up, and the technology could not keep up. "There's really no way around this."
"For the next battle, so, I want to buy some machine guns and cannons for my brother, this, there is no problem, right?"
"Nature."
"Originally, I heard that the army unified directly purchased artillery from your division?"
"Hmm."
"It's a pity that there are many armies, and there are not many of them." Du Yuming sighed.
Zhou Weiguo's brows furrowed slightly, "That's right, there are indeed many domestic troops, and there are indeed not many of them." The equipment of the Fifth Army should be considered good among the many units of the National Army. ”
Du Yuming nodded, "No way, who called us an agricultural country instead of an industrial country, otherwise, why would we be beaten like this by Japan, an industrial country." ”
"Huh." Zhou Weiguo sighed lightly, the research institute was established, and with the cooperation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Zhou Weiguo didn't know if it could be done, and he couldn't say that he would become a political victim in the end.
……
White House
"Stilwell, you have a heavy task on your shoulders when you go to China." Roosevelt sat in a wheelchair and looked at Stilwell, "Your positions, including the chief of staff of the Chinese Theater Command, the commander-in-chief of the US forces in the China-Burma-India theater, the supervision of US aid materials, the US government's representative to the Chongqing Military Conference, and the liaison between the Chinese theater and the South Pacific theater, you must remember that the supreme commander of the Chinese theater is Jiang, who knows the Japanese best and is also Chinese. ”
"Your Excellency, please put it down."
"Well, you've been in China for a while, so you probably know something. Now the Japanese are wreaking havoc in Southeast Asia, not only attacking the British colonies, but also attacking our American territory, which is intolerable to us Americans, because he has damaged the interests of our Americans. ”
"The Sino-Japanese war has been going on for about 11 years, and now, in China, the Japanese do not dare to act rashly. For the Pacific region, the Chinese have made great contributions. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Now that the military situation is urgent, you can take your people and rush to China as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
……
At the end of February, Stilwell, along with his staff officers and some of his security personnel, left for New York.
While all eyes were on Singapore, the Japanese chose to attack from the south through the towering mountains of the Thai-Burmese border, which was home to only the Burmese 2nd Brigade and a border guard.
……
Command of the Southern Army of the Japanese Army
"Your Excellency Commander, the 55th Division has successfully crossed the Shan Mountain Range!"
"Yo Si! In this way, as long as we take a city in Myanmar as a base, our hard battle will be easier! ”
"Hey!"
"Tell the warriors, hurry up! The Chinese have already entered Myanmar! ”
"Hey!"
In fact, for the Japanese army, they also knew that the battle of Burma would be a bitter battle in terms of combat distance, terrain and supplies. The Shan mountain range, which runs along the Thai-Myanmar border, has an average altitude of more than 2,000 meters. In order to rush as soon as possible, the Japanese army took the infantry first, opened up a small road, climbed over the mountains, and left the artillery for later transportation. The "Chong Detachment" of the 55th Infantry Wing of the 120th Division, which was the advance team, was surprised to find that there was no resistance and, to the warm welcome of the local population, they occupied Dawei in southern Burma.
In fact, there is some irony in this.
The people of the colonies that Britain and the United States wanted to protect welcomed the little devils backwards.
In the eyes of the people of these colonies, the Anglo-American people were the enemies.
And the Japanese army came to rescue them.
Zhou Weiguo naturally doesn't care about this, he only cares, whether he fights devils or not.
After a long journey of nearly 10 days, Zhou Weiguo and others finally arrived in Yangon!
The time is also the beginning of March.
Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Yangon did not fall so early, otherwise, the road for more than ten days would have been in vain.
At this time, Stilwell had also arrived in Chongqing to take up his post.
"Welcome General Stilwell." Stilwell's arrival in Chongqing was welcomed by everyone.
"Thank you." For this welcome, Stilwell was still a little happy in his heart, in his opinion, in China, he will definitely be able to establish immortal feats!
Lao Jiang looked at Stilwell and the people brought by Stilwell, and he was also relatively satisfied, because outsiders' evaluation of Stilwell was imaginative, flexible, and self-confident, that is to say, the Americans sent a serious talent.
When it was time for dinner, Stilwell looked at the rich menu and thought of the narratives, anti-Japanese slogans, and propaganda of his colleagues who had visited Yan'an before.
Stilwell raised his eyes and looked at Chairman Chiang, not knowing what he was thinking.
The next day, Chongqing, a conference room.
"Therefore, after the above discussion, I believe that the distribution of American-style equipment should be based on whether the army can fight or not, 'including the Communist Party's Eighth Route Army.'" Stilwell's voice fell, and the conference room fell silent.
Lao Jiang's face was pale, and the air pressure was very low.
Those present, including Chen Cheng and others, did not speak.
Everyone knows that Stilwell's words have touched the bottom line of the chairman.
After a while, Chairman Jiang pulled a very reluctant smile, "General Stilwell is a guest from afar, and the situation of our Republic of China is not clear, so let's move on to the next topic of the meeting." ”
"No!" Stilwell spoke up, "Your Excellency, this matter is related to the situation of resistance against Japan, please pay attention to it. ”
"The next topic is the deployment of relevant cities in Myanmar."
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Stilwell's face was also very unsightly. In his opinion, Chairman Jiang is weak-hearted! Moreover, these people did not give themselves any face, which made Stilwell's face red.
……
On March 8, Chiang Kai-shek officially appointed Stilwell as chief of staff of the Chinese Theater and assigned him command of the Fifth and Sixth Armies of the Chinese army entering Burma.
At this moment, Du Yuming, who was in Yangon, received a telegram from Chongqing.
Zhou Weiguo also received a telegram.
"How?" Du Yuming looked at Zhou Weiguo.
"Huh." Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "I'm going back to Kunming again......"
Du Yuming's face was also ugly, although he was promoted and became the deputy commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, he also had to return to Kunming, but they just came out of Yunnan!
And no one thought about what they thought?
"What should I do?" Zhou Weiguo looked at Du Yuming, the two received the appointment together, Stilwell arrived in Kunming, Zhou Weiguo's appointment was Stilwell's intention, and Du Yuming's appointment was estimated to be the intention of the chairman.
