81_81266 "Sure enough, the Japanese attacked the United States. In the conference room, on the side of the long table, a Chinese general glanced at the telegram, nodded and said: "The United States did not invite us to send troops to Burma, and you agreed to this matter, chairman?"

"Yes, I promised, as a solid ally of the United States, it is necessary for us to send our own forces to participate in the international counterattack against the Japanese army. Chairman Jiang sat in his chair, looked at several of his favorite generals, and replied with a smile.

"Report!" an officer shouted from the door of the conference room.

"Come in!" asked Chairman Chiang.

"General Li Zongren called, the Japanese army launched an attack near Wuhan to break through our army's defense line, and last night our army stabilized the situation and lost three county towns. However, the Japanese suffered heavy losses and voluntarily stopped the further offensive. The officer glanced at the telegram in his hand and replied loudly.

"This Li Zongren, why did he lose his position again?" a general frowned and asked, "I would have let my troops go up if I knew it!"

"Your troops? Let your troops go up, it's better to let my division go up and defeat the two Japanese brigades, it won't be a problem. Another general, who had a pocket watch in his breast pocket, said unconvinced.

"Alright! General Li also did his best, not to mention that it was only a small defeat at the moment! After all, he did not have enough supplies in his hands, and in order to prepare for this entry into Burma, we transferred a lot of supplies and ammunition from the front line...... Therefore, the battle for Burma can be said to be the most important one! We must unite sincerely!" the chairman of the committee made a speech, giving an explanation for the defeat at the front.

"Yes!" several people immediately stood upright, bringing up the sound of tables and chairs and benches clashing. Since the chairman of the committee said the reason for the defeat, no one in the room was silent, and this set the tone for the defeat at the front that would not be held accountable, and everyone focused on the matter of advancing into Burma.

"If you want to send me, send me!" A general patted his chest and promised: "Chairman, let me go! I will definitely be able to give you a big victory and come back! I will use my Xue Yue's head as a guarantee!"

"General Xue, I know that you can fight, but the defense area that your troops are in charge of now is very important, and you can't move lightly, so if you go to Burma this time, you should choose me." A middle-aged general stood up again and looked at Chairman Jiang who was sitting in the main seat: "Commission, this time, please let me Du Yuming go!"

"This time I went to Burma, firstly, to thwart the Japanese army's attempt to advance into India, and secondly, to restore and ensure the absolute safety of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, so I made up my mind to draw so many domestic elites. Chairman Jiang nodded and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have already selected the candidates, and General Zhang Zizhong will personally lead the team, and General Du Yuming, General Sun Liren and General Dai Anlan will personally cooperate...... We must ensure the victory of our Chinese expeditionary force!"

......General Sun Liren stood up, pointed to the map, and said, "If no one provides it, it is obviously an unwise choice to hold a battle here. ”

"At this point, please rest assured that General Sun. Bai Chongxi, deputy chief of the General Staff, stood up, took out a telegram and handed it to him, saying: "The US allies have made a guarantee to provide the expeditionary force with a single Qiē weapon and equipment, and even 200 M3 tanks have been prepared, just waiting for us to go over and get them." ”

This is not a blank check from the United States, but a real strategic material. These materials were originally transported to India to be used for training and use by British and Indian troops, and then transported to North Africa in the future to participate in the war against the German army, but now the situation in the Pacific theater has changed dramatically, so they were intercepted by the Americans and provided to Chinese troops for use as heavy weapons and equipment.

The British also cooperated in this matter, after all, as their last obedient colony, India can be said to be the top priority of the British restoration, and there is no room for failure. Therefore, Montgomery was ordered to defend Tobruk in North Africa, and all the materials saved were sent to the British-occupied Burma region to be used by the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

And not just tanks, but cars, as well as a lot of artillery. Small arms even included submachine guns, which were rare in the squadron, and a surprising number of machine guns, as well as ammunition, which was most lacking in the squadron. With these weapons and equipment, the strength of the Chinese expeditionary force will be greatly improved.

Moreover, China can be regarded as sending troops to Burma, and thousands of college students from the universities that moved south were sent to the army as the backbone of the expeditionary force. With these intellectuals, the squadron's study and mastery of new weapons and tactics has also reached a great level.

Originally, because of Germany's technical assistance and General Sickert's words and deeds, the squadron's understanding and study of the world's new weapons and tactics have become more avant-garde, and many military generals who have studied in Germany have witnessed the rudiments of blitzkrieg warfare and have also learned how to use advanced weapons and equipment to gain their own advantages on the battlefield. They are no longer the mediocre old-fashioned warlords, but the high-achieving students carefully cultivated by the German Higher Army Academy.

So, on such a day, preparations began for the establishment of a later world-famous Chinese army, and the name of this force was called the Chinese Expeditionary Force. And this army is no longer a German armor division that terrifies the Japanese, they use American equipment, but the generals who command them still remember the special steel helmet, the special three-edged long army thorn, and the German general who has been buried in China: "It is the duty of every soldier to defeat the invaders!"

Hundreds of Chinese soldiers shouldered their rifles, took their own steps, and slowly marched along the road. Their goal was to go out of the country and fight the Japanese invaders as the first army to go out of the country in decades.

The generals who commanded them were the **** famous generals who were famous all over the world in the Battle of Songhu: Zhang Zizhong, Du Yuming, Dai Anlan, and Sun Liren were all roles that caused headaches for the Japanese army, and the battle commanded by the four of them was simply a history of blood and tears in World War II of the Japanese Army.

In the Battle of Songhu, the 1st Army commanded by General Du Yuming, the 2nd Army commanded by General Sun Liren, the 3rd Army commanded by General Wang Yaowu and the 4th Army commanded by General Dai Anlan were the main forces in the squadron. And the front-line general who commanded the Battle of Songhu was the famous General Zhang Zizhong.

For example, there is still a saying in a Japanese division that "if you see a German steel helmet, don't attack." The scandal of several high-ranking officers of the Japanese Marine Corps and the Army being killed by a single shot of a German Krupp cannon has been gritted and refused to admit it to this day.

These divisions and the 5th Army, which no longer exists in Li Zongren's hands, are the five absolute main forces of the squadron in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, but with the attrition of the war, the German armament units of more than a dozen divisions of these 5 armies have basically been lost, and those once dense German M35 steel helmets are no longer common, and they are replaced by steel helmets sent by the United States for free.

Facts have proven that when the two sides are evenly matched in firepower, the combat effectiveness of the squadron * is stronger than that of the Japanese army. At least in the case of defending the homeland and defending the country, the strong willpower of the Chinese people is beyond the surpass of the Japanese army. However, war will not change the overall shape of the enemy's strength and weakness because of this, nor will it take care of certain weak countries.

Is Poland pitiful? It was divided between the Soviet Union and Germany, and now it is a dead country, but has the god of fate taken care of it? Is France pitiful? It was defeated by Germany with lightning speed, and lost the war without even mobilizing, but has the god of fate taken pity on it? Is Britain pitiful? It was once the hegemon of the world, and now it has not only been pulled off the altar, but has also ended up ruining the country, but the god of fate does not seem to regret its fate.

So don't squander your time lying on the old merit books, there is no power that can never be subverted under the wheel of history. If you want not to be bullied, you have to clench your fists, and if you want not to be knocked down by a powerful opponent, you have to grit your teeth and stand up straight in front of the fist that is waving at your cheek.

The British were also conquered by the Romans, the United States had to pay taxes to the British, China had a war of extermination against the Xiongnu, and the French were beaten by Prussia to pay reparations - so we don't have to care about the defeat of the Song Dynasty by the Mongol Yuan, nor do we have to worry about the collapse of the Ming Dynasty due to the Manchu Dynasty, of course, we can not be sad about the fiasco of the First Wu Year, because as long as we are strong, we will fight back!

What is the Great Wall? Is it a building built of blue bricks that towers over the Badaling Mountains? No, absolutely not. It is an unyielding soul that has been poured with the blood of countless loyal souls for thousands of years. Because of the soul that is not willing to lag behind, because of the indomitable spirit, because of the will to defy hardships and dangers, and because of the eternal heart of the strong, this nation will stand tall and shine for thousands of years after setbacks.

Therefore, the Great Wall of China will not fall! Therefore, China will not be defeated! Looking at these soldiers carrying steel guns, biting dry food and waving goodbye to the crowd of farewells, they are the backbone of this nation, the hope of this nation, and the most magnificent blood song of this era.

With such thousands of unyielding lives, this war era is worth remembering, and only these souls can decorate such a magnificent heroic era - 152244+03026 - >.
