Chu Aiyun is considering whether to roll up his sleeves and go down to guide himself, of course he is not afraid to work, when he was in the shipyard in Shanghai, he was regarded by Shu Ping as an indispensable machine tool operator.

But I also feel that if I can not only communicate, drive, and know various foreign languages, but also operate a milling machine, it is too amazing and will make others suspicious. Just as he was hesitating, someone ran in to report that General Sun Liren had arrived.

I didn't know why Sun Liren came, so he quickly got up and came out to meet people.

He and Sun Liren had met several times in the combat meeting, and knew that he had a lot of strange words, and he didn't look down on Du Yuming very much; In fact, even to his superior, Zhang Zhen, commander of the 66th Army, did not buy it very much, and often directly put forward opinions to refute face, which is rare in the field of national officers. However, facts have proved that his prediction of the movements of the Japanese army is more accurate than Du Yuming's, and his prediction of this kind of thing is not actually a blind guess, but a comprehensive judgment of the enemy's commander-in-chief's decision-making, military ability, and characteristics of the use of troops, and this is not a skill that can be acquired by studying in a military academy. To a certain extent, whether a person can fight or not depends not necessarily on his academic qualifications, but on his sense of smell on the battlefield.

Sun Liren's sense of smell is probably good, he deigned to take the initiative to find Chu Aiyun, he must have discovered something unusual about him, it is said that Chu Aiyun is only a major at present, and he has only received a written notice and has not been officially promoted.

"Battalion Commander Chu, I haven't seen you for a few days, I heard that you have expanded a lot of people, and now you are strong and strong, and your firepower is strong."

Sun Liren saw Chu Ting grow out, and said loudly. In the traditional atmosphere of the top of the national army, such a straightforward compliment definitely sounds twisted.

"Whereever, they were just ordered to receive some ordnance from the Allies, not that they were short of parts and ammunition, they didn't want it."

Chu Aiyun saluted hastily and responded casually, he didn't know the other party's intentions, and he could only say some words.

Sun Liren did not shy away from it, and walked directly into Chu's headquarters; I don't know, I thought he was very familiar with Chu, but in fact, although he had met a few times in meetings, he hadn't spoken yet. With his hands behind his back, he paused in front of the wall to look at the map for a moment.

"Battalion Commander Chu's map is updated in a timely manner, the enemy situation is clear, and when you look at the work on this map, you know that you have the demeanor of a professional soldier."

"Where, where, it's just that I have an American liaison officer here, and I can't be idle, and he's always doing this."

"Major, how do you feel when you see this stalemate at the moment?"

At the end of the greetings, Sun Liren entered the topic, ostensibly to test Chu Tingchang, but in fact, he seemed to have something to say.

Thanks to General Sun's battle east of Ringanqiang, he turned the tide and stopped the momentum of the Japanese offensive. Now they can't move forward. ”

"Turning the tide?" Sun shook his head helplessly, "Actually, it's just to repel a wing of the Japanese army, has the pavilion commander found that there are loopholes in the deployment of the Japanese army?" ”

"What vulnerability?" Chu Aiyun asked. At this time, Brooke walked in with a notebook, and it seemed that Sun was here, and he was also surprised, so he stood aside quietly.

"To put it simply, Iida's deployment is strong in the east and weak in the west, top-heavy, there are two divisions near Tonggu, and in front of us, there is only the 33rd division. The reserve was in the delta, the supply route was simple, all along the river. ”

"It was this division that was chased all the way from Yangon to here, and it was simply bitten to the death. With the addition of artillery, chariots, and heavy engineers directly under the 15th Army, we estimate that there are about 30,000 people in person. ”

"Yes, there are only 30,000 Japanese troops, and there are no less than 60,000 on our side, and we also have an advantage in firepower, so we are still defending."

Chu Tingchang was noncommittal, and Brooke nodded frequently behind him, what he heard the most in Myanmar was all kinds of pessimistic views, all of which regarded the Japanese as soldiers and generals, and there were not many such opinions.

"Recently, they have been attacking too hard, and they have leaked a hole in the middle. If you give me the artillery regiment of your 5th Army, I will be able to ...... here," he said, gesturing on the map, "from Yangmidin, all the way to Higashi-Atsu-ede, threatening the flank of the entire Sakurai Division. You see, the enemy's supply lines along the Irrawaddy River are actually very weak, and if we build a few bridges in a day and night, and then cut off the main supply lines of the 33rd Division, they will lose 70% of their supplies, and not only will they lose the momentum of their attack, but they will also fall into a huge passivity. If Iida draws some troops from the east to rescue, the 200th Division can fight in Dongwei. ”

Brooke was about to applaud, the most uplifting plan he'd heard in recent times.

"No, General Sun," Chu Aiyuntou shook his head and laughed, "the British must be against it." If you had come up with this plan a few days earlier, maybe it would have been successful, but now that they have blown up all the oil fields in Ringanqiang, and then talk about a counteroffensive, wouldn't this disgust them? Maybe they think we're playing tricks on them, haha. ”

As soon as Brooke saw the ruffian appearance of Chu Tingchang, he was immediately furious, in the face of such a positive plan, even if he was against it, he should be a little more serious, he moved out of the British to resist, it was completely the hypocritical atmosphere of the Chinese army. Brooke knew that one of Du Yuming's tasks to Chu was to accept aid to preserve his strength, and now he received a lot of money here, which should have taken advantage of Du Yuming's heart.

"Well, I talked to General Luo on the phone, and he expressed his approval, saying that the fighters are hard to find, and they can be put into battle first; But General Du said that he could not fight, and the lone army would not cooperate with the British army. Sun Liren said disappointedly, this plan was carefully considered by him, but there was a lack of fire support, and he originally thought that Chu Aiyun might be more active, and he was entrusted with command, and he was not so constrained, but he looked like a bird.

"Oh, what did Chief Du say?"

"If I launch an attack, can your artillery hit one or two bases in the area I have demarcated." Sun Liren was straightforward. He hated asking for people the most in his life, but the 38th Division only had mortars and a small number of anti-aircraft guns, and it was really powerless to launch an attack.

"Well, Chu can't call the shots, the cannon belongs to Chief Du, and you have to listen to him."

Brooke came out alone without saying a word, of course, to find Stilwell to report to him, as Americans, they are interested in every active counteroffensive on the Burmese battlefield, if Du Yuming or Chu Aiyun don't know each other, and they want to reach out for this and that, naturally they have a color to see.

After Sun Liren left, Chu Aiyun found a secluded place, talked to Lin Xiuxuan, reported the incident, and expected that Stilwell would soon pressure Du Yuming to cooperate with this counterattack. Neither he nor Lin Xiuxuan thought of countermeasures for the time being, but the opinions against the counteroffensive were unanimous.

Sun did not know that the 31st Division of the Japanese Army had gone ashore, of course, the real danger was not that there were more divisions, but as a later person's understanding of Churchill's black history, some documents disclosed after Churchill's death exposed some of his far-reaching calculations. The 42 years of protest in Burma were for the Americans, and Churchill had already decided that Japan would eventually lose World War II, so he would rather have the Japanese occupy Burma in a systematic way than the Chinese army to win here, which meant that China could regain its traditional influence in the region. And at the end of the war, the intensity of the British counteroffensive was greatly increased, and a large number of chassis were quickly seized, also out of the same intention. Therefore, some possibilities that have not been practiced by history can actually be guessed. If Sun's troops fought well, they would most likely be betrayed by the British.

Rabaul. Yamamoto decided to postpone his planned plan to use a password vulnerability to trap the U.S. fleet, and after Makino appeared, he sensed that the plan was too crude and potentially threatening.

Of course, this aroused the dissatisfaction of Vice Admiral Hyakutake Harukichi, who was in a hurry to land in Port Moresby, and the amphibious assault could not be carried out without destroying the remaining US aircraft carriers, but the army had just lost the 1st Division, and its confidence was also insufficient, and it was forced to give in.

Yamamoto's real purpose was to wait until the seaplanes equipped with magnetic detectors were completed before attacking. At present, 2 Kawanishi Type 97 seaplanes are being assembled in Kagoshima, and this detection equipment itself is not complicated, it can be said to be an amplified mine detector, and thanks to the fact that Makino designed it in advance, and through the intervention of Nobusuke Kishi, special funds were used to start construction, so it will be completed soon.

Makino's far-reaching planning even made the testing of such a device intensively planned. He planned to test the Kasuga Maru before it flew to the South Sea.

If it is feasible, it will undoubtedly have two meanings, one is to prove the detection ability, and the other is to greatly speed up the progress of salvaging Kasugamaru, and the efficiency is increased by more than 100 times compared to the first grid search using the visual vision of the ama.

Yamamoto found that Makino had a good appetite, and he gradually didn't need Asano. Of course, Asano's strategic plan to abandon Solomon and occupy Australia has been formed, and he can only go on, but he can't see that Asano has any greater value, since history has begun to enter into differences that he doesn't know, in fact, he is no different from ordinary staff officers. Yamamoto planned to find an excuse to send Asano and Masanobu Tsuji to another place, preferably back to Myanmar.

March 25th. The first 97 yacht to complete the modification of the magnetometer was flown directly from Kagoshima to Taiwan. The pilots were instructed to fly the modified aircraft, which had increased its huge dead weight, and flew in a zigzag shape over a sea surface of about 1,000 square kilometers. The pilots had never received such a strange task, and the superiors did not tell why, only that some kind of anti-submarine equipment was installed behind the plane.

The plane remained low-flying, almost close to the surface of the sea. The route was drawn up in full accordance with the radio cross-lateral data left behind after the last discovery of Kasuga Maru.

Kasuga Maru is not only a civilian ship that never demagnetizes, but also has a large rare earth permanent magnet motor as a sample in the hull, which is obviously the easiest magnetic source to detect in this area.

The operators of the rear cabin received only very simple training, and their job was to sit there with headphones on, waiting for the current to become louder, and to judge the location and depth of the magnetic source based on that.

After searching for 2 hours, they finally heard a clear signal sound and immediately asked the plane to turn around and fly over the same area from a different direction.

After several repeated comparisons, the position where the signal is most concentrated and clearest was finally detected. Then the aircraft went around the target area and dropped ten special positioning devices. These installations were also designed by Makino.

Simply put, it is a metal ball that sinks to the bottom, and after hitting the bottom of the sea, it quickly releases a floating object pulled by a 200-meter-long rope. This buoy does not emit any radio signals, only glows. After Makino suspected that a submarine might have crossed into the era, he began to be careful with various details, beware of any electromagnetic radiation that could be detected. He wasn't sure if the submarine existed, but all the considerations had been added to the submarine's precautions.
