Goodbye, Stilwell!
With the elimination of the Japanese artillery, the battle of Myitkyina has come to an end, the troops of the water source have been killed and wounded under the ground and air fire of the Allied forces, in the final offensive and defensive battle, the ghost artillery performed outstandingly, personally pushed the cannon to follow the commando for fire support, once destroyed a Japanese bunker with a cannon at a distance of 20 meters, which gave the Japanese army a great shock! Even the commander of the US army admired the superhuman courage of the ghost cannon! After several days of fighting, Myitkyina was successfully conquered by the expeditionary force, but due to the reasons of the American commander, the loss of more than 1,000 people originally planned became a loss of more than 5,000 people. Minakami Genzo, the commander of the Japanese army in Myitkyina, took the rest of his troops out and committed suicide by disembowelment in the jungle as a sign of responsibility for the loss of Myitkyina!
"After defeating Myitkyina, even if our main combat mission in Burma is over, there will be only one Ba Mo left, and after fighting Ba Mo, we can return to China!" Sun Liren said as he looked at a dilapidated remnant of Myitkyina. "yes, we're going back!" Liu Hai is quite touched, in the past two years in Burma, it can be said that he has had enough of foreign crimes, and now he has counted the Chinese expeditionary force from the beginning of his own departure, and the second expedition, more than two years before and after, the expeditionary force has eliminated most of the Japanese troops stationed in Burma so far, but it has also paid more than 100,000 heavy casualties, no matter what, it is finally a victory! "After Myitkyina is laid, the international line of communication can be re-established, this is the greatest significance of our attack, with this road, we can get a large number of US aid, and we can fight with the little devils again!" Sun Liren said. "Report!" Song Ruyu suddenly ran over. "Master! Something is wrong! Song Ruyu said anxiously, "Stilwell and the Nationalist Government now have a major disagreement over the distribution of aid materials to China, and Stilwell has ordered the 42nd Engineer Regiment and the 6th Engineer Regiment of the U.S. Army to stop building roads, intending to use this as a way to blackmail the Nationalist Government into making concessions!" "What?" Sun Liren and bangs were taken aback!
"This big nose on a dog day, if we don't build roads, we fucking fight for a long time, what's the point?" Sun Liren was furious. "Let's go to him, and if he doesn't agree, we'll fix it ourselves!" Bangs said. "It's not that simple, most of the Yunnan-Burma highways are jungle areas, lofty mountains, only the heavy machinery and strong transportation capacity of the U.S. military can be built, if we rely on manpower alone, I'm afraid that Chongqing will also fall if it is built!" Sun Liren said with a frown. "What then? Is the blood of these hundreds of thousands of expeditionary troops shed in vain? Bangs said. For the time being, it seems that there is no choice but to wait for the Nationalist Government and Stilwell to reach an agreement! Sun Liren said helplessly. I estimate that an agreement should be reached soon, because there is no fundamental contradiction between the two sides, especially between China and the United States, and even if there is, it is a personal contradiction between the leader and Stilwell, and it is impossible for them to replace the leader, at most they can replace Stilwell! He is just a general, not a political leader, just like the art of war says, killing one person can shock the three armies, and he will be killed! It is worthwhile for a general to continue to cooperate with China and the United States in the overall situation of resisting Japan, and I think US President Roosevelt will think the same way, after all, the Japanese devils are the biggest problem! Bangs analyzed. It should be like this, I think Stilwell also knows this, our leader is not a vegetarian, and there should be no problem dealing with a Stilwell! Sun Liren said. But what happened next surprised the two of them!
"Master!" A quick shout frightened Bangs into a rage, and he drew his pistol and aimed it at the door. "It's you, scared me to death!" Liu Hai saw that it was Song Ruyu, so he breathed a sigh of relief, after all, anyone would be shocked when they were so suddenly in the middle of the night! "Master, there is a big event, a big thing through the sky!" Song Ruyu said nervously, "I just deciphered a secret telegram from the US military, which was sent from within the United States, to the effect that it is not good for the leader!" "What?" Bangs almost fell off the marching bed. "It's true, look!" Liu Hai took a look at it, his face changed drastically, he jumped up and rushed outside, Song Ruyu followed closely behind. "Xiaohong! Xiaohong! Bangs shouted at Sima Hong. Do? Can I help you? "Sima Hong slept in a daze." Tell Mu Zhennan to inform the troops to prepare for the attack and go into a state of alert all day! Bangs said. Be! Sima Hong saw that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ran away. I'll go to see the Chief of Staff! You now use the highest-level password to inform the country of this news, and you have to send it directly to the headquarters to the leader to personally enlighten it! After Liu Hai finished speaking, he jumped into a jeep and ran towards Sun Liren's headquarters as if flying.
"Fuck, this old beauty's political quality is lower than we imagined!" Sun Liren said after reading the secret telegram. "What to do now, I have already ordered vigilance, if there is a change in the US military, we will not suffer!" Bangs said. "It seems that we are still too simple, and we thought that the Americans would replace Stilwell, but it turned out that they really wanted to attack our leader's idea! Let's do it, let's stay vigilant, but don't show hostility, as long as Battalion Commander Song's secret telegram is sent to the headquarters, the leader will give instructions, politics is too profound, we are soldiers, we can't do this! Sun Liren said, "But we can do something, since Lao Mei would rather replace our leader than replace Stilwell, then we will prepare in advance, in case things change again, we will arrest Stilwell first, so that we will not be too passive!" "Yes, I'll let Liu Xiaoshan get ready!" Bangs said. Liu Hai ran to Liu Xiaoshan's station, told Liu Xiaoshan to select a commando team, the number should not exceed 100 people, and then go to the headquarters of the US army to ambush, as long as there is a dozen signal flares here, rush in and arrest all the generals of the US army and Stilwell. Liu Xiaoshan was taken aback, but looking at Liu Hai's face, he knew that the matter was very big, so he ran to execute it without asking too much!
In fact, at this time, the contradiction between Stilwell and Chiang Kai-shek was already irreconcilable, and they did not know that after Stilwell informed the United States of the situation, Roosevelt immediately sent a fiercely worded telegram, asking Chiang to immediately appoint Stilwell with full command of all Chinese troops. What Chiang could not tolerate in particular was that the telegram was not sent directly to him, but was forwarded by Shi. Jiang took this as the greatest shame of his life. So, on the night he received the telegram, Chiang summoned Hurley and demanded that the United States immediately recall Stilwell, saying that "Stilwell will not be able to progress in Sino-US negotiations for one day after being in China," expressing "bitter anger" Chiang submitted a memorandum to Hurley, reiterating his position on transferring Stilwell. In fact, the deep-seated reason was that both Roosevelt and Stilwell wanted to gain command of all Chinese troops, and what Chiang Kai-shek could not tolerate was that Stilwell strongly demanded that one-third of the aid materials for China be handed over to the Communist Party and the Eighth Route Army, because they were also the absolute new force in the fight against the Japanese invaders.
"Division, we have received a secret message from the leader, asking us to stop obeying the command of the American army led by Stilwell until Stilwell is transferred!" Song Ruyu handed over a secret telegram. "Is that what the leader meant?" Bangs asked. "Judging from the level and tone, it's the leader's meaning!" Song Ruyu said. "Okay, I'll show it to the chief of staff, you stay here and be ready to accept domestic orders at any time, in addition to intercepting and cracking the US military's telegrams, if you find anything wrong, immediately call Mu Zhennan or Adjutant Sima to inform me!" Bangs left in a hurry! "The matter is already very clear, last week, Stilwell sent a telegram to the leader, hoping that the leader can go to India to boost the morale of the Chinese expeditionary force, the leader has agreed, originally planned to leave the day after tomorrow, but yesterday our secret telegram reminded the leader that the leader has decided to abandon the trip to India! At the same time, we sent a commendation message to Gu Zhutong, the commander of our new First Army, and awarded Major Song Ruyu a Blue Sky and White Sun Medal in recognition of her loyalty to the country! Sun Liren took out a medal and handed it to Liu Hai. Stilwell is now back in Chongqing, and we just have to wait for the results! Sun Liren said.
What happened next was an eye-opener for Liu Hai, and Chiang Kai-shek refused to go to India on the grounds that he had found a conclusive reason to prove that there was insecurity in India, so he would not go to India again. In addition, if the US Government insists on going its own way and must blackmail China with support for the resistance against Japan, then China will refuse the assistance of the US military and fight the Japanese army to the end with its own strength until the last man. Chiang Kai-shek's resoluteness was so strong that Ambassador to China Hurley wrote to Roosevelt: If you defend Stilwell in this controversy, you will lose Chiang Kai-shek, and you will lose China along with you. Roosevelt was definitely not an idiot, from Chiang Kai-shek's words that were not a factor of insecurity, he already understood that some things were known to Chiang Kai-shek, and not saying them explicitly also left room for Sino-US relations, and on the issue of military command, Roosevelt knew that it was impossible to have a result, and if he persisted at this time, he would really lose Chiang Kai-shek, and even lose China, and it would be worth the loss! Therefore, Roosevelt immediately changed his concept, expressed his willingness to transfer Stilwell back to China, and was succeeded by Weidemeyer, and hoped that the Chinese Expeditionary Force could carry on the past and forge ahead into the future, eliminate all Japanese troops in Burma, and make meritorious contributions to the anti-fascist war! In addition, Roosevelt said that he would respect Chiang Kai-shek's position as the supreme commander of the Chinese theater of operations, and hoped that China and the United States could continue to cooperate to eliminate the Japanese fascists!
