454 Psychological warfare

"India, India, you all say that it is India, and the China-Myanmar border is so long, why do you want to go to India far away."

Du Yuming lowered his voice, as if he didn't want others to hear it. He repeated these stupid words many times, almost convincing himself. As the commander of the three armies here, he has been evading in the cracks, on the one hand, because of his strong suspicion of the principal, and on the other hand, the reality of the rapid progress of the enemy. After the Huitong Bridge was hit by Japanese planes, he should have had the consciousness that he could not go back, and now he wants to go back, he must face three problems, the first is the Japanese army that has already killed Longling, the second is that it is impossible to climb the Gaoligong Mountain, and then the galloping Nu River, and perhaps the Jinsha River, if the Japanese army does not make up their minds to blow up the Gongguo Bridge. But the first instinct of the rector was to seize the military power, and he would never allow his troops to go to India.

"And what do you mean?" Luo Zhuoying patted the back of his hand and asked eagerly, waking Du from his contemplation, "Whether you return to China or go to India, you must make a decision quickly, and you must not delay any longer." ”

"Go to Myitkyina for the time being, since there are tens of thousands of overseas Chinese there, and there are mountain antennas and allied airdrops, it can be said that the time and place are favorable." He got up and walked to the map, "This place, easy to defend and difficult to attack, can be advanced and retreated, is a stone's throw away from the country, and at the same time guards the passage to India, which can be described as the only feasible expedient measure at the moment. ”

Du Yuming finally revealed his full plan. The so-called expedient solution is actually a compromise plan that does not touch the essence, and it is a plan that he can explain to the principal.

"You're living in a dream, you're committing a crime against your soldiers," Stilwell roared, and halfway through his speech, he realized the nature of Du Yuming's plan, that he was not a responsible general. But he couldn't understand how the Chinese could say that such a hesitant plan was divine and perfect.

Du Yuming was silent and sat down, he didn't want to have a pointless argument with the Americans.

"Junza, go to Myitkyina, but there is no way back. If the Japanese army breaks through the middle road and cuts off the road to the Qingdun River crossing, we will not be able to go to India. Chu Tingchang reminded. Du Yuming raised his head and stared blankly at this battlefield star who hijacked the plane from Pudong, he had never thought that such a person would be an unborn genius and become his right and left hand that he could rely on, but today he obviously betrayed himself and sided with Stilwell.

"Pavilion Chief, do you think it's wrong to go to Myitkyina?"

"Military seats, where military plans are formulated, they must complement each other, either as fast as a fire, or as immobile as a mountain, and there is no plan that is evenly balanced. When we go north, we are in danger, we have completely lost the rear, there is no supply, and in a hurry, there can be no surprise offensive. Moreover, the further north we went, our mechanized equipment and automobile artillery could not be taken with us, and we had to lose them to the Japanese. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Either rely on Myitkyina, shrink the forces around, and wait for the Japanese to pounce and hit hard. Or, head west to India as soon as possible. ”

"Go on."

"After the Huitong Bridge was blown up, Tamantike on the Qingdun River is the last way out, the current Japanese airfield is too far to reach the whip, but Magway was beaten by me, currently potholes, unusable, but once repaired, it is difficult to say, the Japanese have also seen the matter of the Japanese hitting the bridge, if they are determined to blow up the bridge there is completely doable......

Chu Tingchang was kind and seductive, he proposed two plans to either fight or run, of course he expected that Du Yuming would never have the courage to turn back and fight, so in essence, he was tempted to go to India.

"Pavilion Chief, what you said is reasonable, but let me think about it again, think about it again......"

"Junza, since you have no conclusion here, I will retire first. My new 38th Division is responsible for breaking off, and the enemy situation is getting worse every hour, and sitting here in a daze is like sitting on the stove......" Sun Liren got up to say goodbye, and he didn't persuade Du Yuming all night, on the one hand, he was born as a tax policeman, and he was an outsider, on the other hand, he also saw that it was in vain; He had long wanted a way out, at least to save his troops.

"Okay, there you go."

He waved Sun Liren away.

Chief Chu also wanted to return to his own troops, but he knew that his current responsibility was heavier, and he couldn't go back before convincing this old stubborn. He suddenly felt that it might be more reasonable to let Ma Qiang or Xu Chong kill Du Yuming with one shot, so that the command would fall into the hands of Luo Zhuoying, who was not assertive and did not obey Jiang very much, and would definitely lead to Stilwell. After coming here, he inquired about the situation of the supplies, * There are still some medicines, food can last for a week, and the US military airdrops can help Zhang Lingfu's troops of several thousand people, but it is unrealistic to help 100,000 people here.

In the Moneva mining area, Lin Xiuxuan returned to the headquarters. Just now, after the First World War, more than half of the losses were counted, and all the way back, the number of people gradually increased, and if it was a little rougher, it turned out to be about the same size as when I went. These Yunnan-Guizhou soldiers and mountain people are not good at combat skills, but they have their own advantages, first of all, they are very adaptable to the climate and terrain of northern Myanmar, and they are not very afraid of Burma's poisonous insects and mosquitoes, and secondly, they are ruthless in fighting, which is much stronger than the plains strong men.

His soldiers returned to the mining area happily with the spoils of war, and they did not march dozens of kilometers in the morning, plus the fatigue of a battle, and received the food allocated to them by their superiors, and the group began to bury the pot and make food.

Lin Xiuxuan suddenly thought that this group of people could use this group of people to organize a group of men and horses similar to Chindit, and specifically use guerrilla warfare to fight the Japanese army and delay their plan to attack India. Wingate was not in India at this time, and the Japanese plan was expected to be faster than the original history, so ......

As he pondered, a soldier in front of him was struggling to chop wood with a captured Japanese saber, interrupting his thoughts, the knife had a strange shape and a long spike, obviously an ancestral weapon of great value, the soldier was barefoot, and he was reluctant to wear the Japanese military boots on his shoulders, but he cut the knife, which was much more expensive than rubber shoes, all the gaps. The rapid formation of combat effectiveness of the synthetic battalion is related to the good level of knowledge and strict discipline of its own soldiers.

He left this group of people to go to the pit to find Tao Mingzhang and Zhou Youfu, and when he walked past the other troops, he found that many soldiers were talking to each other, looking at each other with wrong expressions.

Coming to lead the command, the other two were thinking about how to deal with the frontal Japanese attack, and Lin entered the command room directly as a captain officer. Zhou Youfu ignored him, Tao Mingzhang heard that he had won, he was a little excited, and introduced the enemy situation a little.

At present, the situation is grim, and the frontal firepower of the Japanese army has increased exponentially. I just got the news that two days ago, an officer of the 5th Army Artillery Regiment was bribed by the Japanese, and some cannons that had not had time to be destroyed fell into the hands of the Japanese army and were transported here. And the Japanese army seems to have armored units again, and the scouts observed smoke rising ahead, and it seemed that some very dusty motor vehicles were secretly deployed.

"How's the morale at the moment?" Lin Xiuxuan suddenly diverted the topic of enemy situation and asked about morale.

"It's not good, the rumors about the departure of the group seat can't be stopped, and the people's hearts are floating at the moment, and there are more than a dozen deserters in the morning." Tao Mingzhang sighed.

"yes, we have to find a way to thwart the rumors." Lin said.

"You know it's a rumor?" Zhou Youfu sneered, "How can rumors be foiled? Do you want the group clone to come back? There is no common sense, and it is unrealistic. ”

"It may not be necessary for the doppelganger to come back and show up, it is okay to have a voice, is there a public address system in the mining area?"

"Of course, of course, you wouldn't be looking for someone to imitate his voice, would you? I don't think that's going to work. It's self-defeating. Tao Mingzhang said.

"By the way, do you always have a film group with you?"

"Yes," said Brooke, who was sitting in the corner without saying a word, "what do you want to say?" ”

"If there are simultaneous recordings on the film, there may be some Chu Tingchang's voice in it."

"Of course, it's just messy voiceovers, and he likes to dangle in front of the camera, explaining the battlefield, exaggerating victories, boasting about non-existent victories, but you can only get those sounds when you get out of the film, and when he talks about it, the topics are messy, and what comes to his mind ......"

"It's best this way, we can splice it together and cut the useful parts together," Lin said, while Zhou Youfu looked at Lin with his mouth wide open. Brooke was also confused.

"And such a miraculous thing?" Tao Mingzhang asked.

"I used to work as a post-editor at Tianyi Film Company, so I can give it a try. If you fail, you have nothing to lose. Lin said, of course, he knew that optically synchronized recording in this era would not be possible to do what he had in mind.

"It's hard, you don't have time. There are not a few days when you can't do it. If it is messed up, let the soldiers hear it, but it will be confirmed that Chu Tingchang is not there. Brooke said, looking at Lin.

"Give me a few hours, I'll give it a try, maybe there's something in the narration that can be borrowed in large chunks? Anyway, let you hear it first. ”

"Well, I'm not against that." Brooke said, dismissing the no, as if to see if a miracle would happen. Ever since he met Chu Tingchang, he was no longer so repulsive to low-probability events.

"Fuck, if you can do it, my old Zhou will lose you 100 yuan, and I will call you grandpa."

"It's a matter of what we say." Lin said.

"How dare you say yes? These days, the sappers dare to say anything. ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to find those things," Tao Mingzhang pulled Lin out, "There is equipment for developing film in the mining area, but I still don't understand the principle." ”

While explaining the principle of optical recording, Lin followed Tao Mingzhang to find those copies, obviously no one here remembered what Chu Tingchang said in the movie before, so of course he didn't really edit it, but asked Qin Xiaosu to do it, and then process the sound, make the sound a little "old", and then destroy those copies and destroy the evidence. Of course, this is really not very rigorous, but he is very worried that the morale will collapse in advance, and the old foundation of the synthetic battalion may be able to hold on, but it is difficult to say who is new to the camp. There is no doubt that these people are mixed with Japanese spies and are spreading rumors.

Two hours later, the Japanese shelling stopped. The Japanese always set aside a window for the personnel on the high ground to observe the effect of the shelling, to see how many vehicles were still maneuvering or that the hidden fortifications were newly exposed.

In addition, the headquarters of the 18th Division was also waiting for further changes within the Composite Regiment, and Lieutenant General Mu Taguchi was becoming more and more convinced that the unit blocking his way actually had no commander, because another spy from the Southern Agency had obtained the list of the Anglo-Dominic Military Conference, and the name of Chief Chu Ting was prominently listed, if so, he could expect means other than artillery shells, and psychological warfare was always particularly effective in previous operations against the Chinese army. As long as the Chinese soldiers knew that their officers had betrayed them and they ran away first, the collapse of the defensive line was almost a sure thing.

Three o'clock in the afternoon. Six Japanese heavy bombers flew over the Composite Regiment, but they did not drop*, but dropped Japanese leaflets.
