Chapter 39 Cooperation

Major Steven was completely moved by Qin Shou, in his eyes, Qin Shou had completely become a heroic image who was willing to fight to the end with a murderous enemy for the sake of the country and the nation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Commander Qin, be honest. The defeat in the Burma campaign has indeed had a serious impact on US strategy. The Chinese battlefield dragged down most of the Japanese army. If the Japanese themselves devote this part of their forces to the Pacific, we may have no choice but to retreat to the United States.

However, it has to be admitted. The combat effectiveness of the Chinese* army is too poor. That's why we continue to provide weapons support to China. The defeat of the Burma campaign has cut off the Yunnan-Burma highway. As a result, our aid can no longer be on the battlefield in China. It is foreseeable that it will be very difficult for the Chinese* army to resist the attack of the Japanese themselves. Once China is defeated and Japan wins, it will be a disaster for the whole world! ”

Qin Shou nodded, he clearly remembered that in another time and space, the Burma campaign was lost, and the Yunnan-Burma road was cut off, so that the assistance provided by the United States to China had to take the Hump route.

The Hump route is not only dangerous, but also limited by the capacity of aircraft, which has brought US assistance to China on the battlefield to a virtual standstill. And this allowed the Japanese army to launch a large-scale offensive on the Chinese battlefield, causing the Chinese* military and civilians to pay heavy casualties.

"Your Excellency Steven, if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army led by me can defeat the Japanese on the battlefield in Burma, the Yunnan-Burma Highway will once again be unimpeded. At the same time, we will also use Burma as a base to attack other Japanese forces in Southeast Asia. In this case, the Japanese army would have to draw troops from other regions and devote them to the war in Southeast Asia. This will undoubtedly ease the pressure on the United States. It is also very helpful for the United States.

So, it is very good for the United States to support us and help us defeat Japan itself. ”

Qin Shou emphasized this point again.

"Commander Qin, although I admire you very much, I don't quite believe that the army you lead really has such ability. The Japanese army, too strong. Moreover, in addition to the Burma battlefield, the Japanese army also had a large number of troops throughout Southeast Asia. In comparison, you and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army you led are even weaker. ”

Today, Japan is in the Pacific Ocean and the South Seas, and it is in full swing. Qin Shou jumped out and said that he could lead his army to defeat Japan in Burma, and even send troops to other parts of the South Seas. Whoever it was, the first reaction was to be that he was a madman.

"Sir Steven, no matter how much I say now, it's useless. The facts will tell. I implore the United States to give us a chance. As far as the United States is concerned, it is nothing to provide us with a batch of weapons and equipment. However, if we can defeat Japan itself, this will be one more option for the United States. ”

Qin Shou is still working hard, and the support of the Americans is very important. If he misses it, his plans will be greatly affected.

Major Steven nodded: "General Qin, to tell you the truth, I am willing to believe you." I had previously served as an adjutant to General Stilwell. If you and your army really have the ability to do this, I will definitely convince General Stilwell to provide reinforcements to your troops. ”

A hint of joy flashed in Qin Shou's eyes, Stilwell was the chief of staff of the Chinese theater appointed by the Americans, the commander-in-chief of the US forces in the China-Burma-India theater, the deputy commander of the Southeast Asian Allied Command, the commander of the Chinese forces in India, and the person in charge of distributing US aid materials to China.

It can be said that it is up to him to decide how to distribute the war materials that the United States has provided to China and even to Southeast Asia and India as a whole. If he recognized Qin Shou's Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, believing that they were capable of defeating the Japanese himself, he would have offered his full support. Then, Qin Shou and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will soar into the sky.

"Lord Steven, you will see what we are capable of. By the time we headed south from Sunbrabung, our whereabouts must have been revealed. The Japanese have definitely sent troops in pursuit of us. At the same time, when we took Myitkyina, the Japanese defenders here must have reported to their superiors. So, the Japanese army must be rushing towards Myitkyina. I am afraid that their strength will be thousands or even tens of thousands. The combat effectiveness of such a Japanese army is undoubtedly very strong, right? ”

Major Steven looked serious, if there were really tens of thousands of Japanese troops coming towards Myitkyina, then they must be in danger. If not, Myitkyina will fall to the Japanese. And they all have the possibility of falling into the hands of the Japanese army again.

"Your Excellency Steven, if I lead the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, I can defeat the Japanese army in this battle. That would undoubtedly prove our ability, right? Qin Shou continued.

I am afraid that the attacking Japanese army will be 10,000, although the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army now has more than 30,000 people. But most of them were rabble, and they were all captured by the Japanese army. Their combat effectiveness is bound to be worrisome. It must be very difficult to defeat so many Japanese troops.

If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army led by Qin Shou can really defeat so many Japanese troops. Then, with the support of the United States, maybe we will be able to defeat more Japanese troops. This is also a great thing for the United States.

Although, Major Steven subconsciously thought that this possibility was very small. But as Qin Shou said, it doesn't hurt for the United States to try it. If it can succeed, it will be of great benefit to the United States.

"Commander Qin, if you can really defeat the invading Japanese army, I promise that I will do my best to convince General Stilwell to provide you with support." Major Steven made a promise.

"Lord Steven, I promise, you'll see our victory soon." Qin Shou's eyes were full of determination.

"May God bless you!" Major Steven blessed.

"By the way, Lord Steven. If we really can defeat the Japanese themselves, I hope that my troops will be fully equipped with American-made weapons, the same as the US military. Not like the expeditionary force, but an emasculated American-style infantry division. Qin Shou made a request.

The Chinese Expeditionary Force, to put it nicely, an American-style infantry division. But in reality, all the equipment is shrunken American-style weapons. The armament is very different from that of the American infantry divisions. Take rifles as an example, the M1 automatic rifle that the US military is equipped with. And the Chinese Expeditionary Force is armed with M1903 rifles, which are antiques from decades ago.

Steven was stunned for a moment, and then nodded heavily: "If your troops can really defeat the Japanese * himself and provide you with sophisticated weapons and equipment, then it is naturally useless!" ”
