Chapter 832: The British Ran Away!

Hearing the words shouted from Linoldton's mouth, Feng Yi was stunned for a moment, and for the first time, he felt as if the expeditionary force had been trapped.

"We're not going to do this anymore, you'll get your gear sooner or later."

Faced with Feng Ng's inquiring eyes, Lyndon decided to shut up, although the news was no longer a secret, he was still not ready to say it, because he found that Feng Que didn't seem to know.

"Let's talk about the Japanese soldiers! I heard that you have been fighting with the Japanese army for several years, what kind of people are they? Does it look like a monkey? Very short? ”

Linoton changed the subject and began to talk to Feng Yi.

But Feng Ye didn't want to talk to him now, and after putting his rifle back on, Feng Ye pointed to the clothes on his body and went back to the barracks to wash and change clothes.

"Feng, you want to know where those things went? Is it? ”

After the meal, in the campfire, Linoldon found Feng Ye again, here, except for the fact that he could communicate with Feng Jie, the other people could only gesticulate.

"So, you tell me, what I want to know; I'll tell you what you want to know? OK? ”

Linoldon thought about it, and he couldn't hold it back.

"But you have to promise that you can't tell the news, only you know."

Seeing Feng Ye nodding slightly, Linoldton warned Feng Ye with a serious face.

"Don't worry, my friend, I will never say that I know it from you."

Feng Yi nodded solemnly, reassuring the American.

In the following chat, Feng Ye finally knew that the Americans had indeed transported this batch of equipment to Yangon a long time ago, but Burma was the territory of the British, and the British troops in Burma also had more than 50,000 people, including two armored brigades, they intercepted this batch of equipment and replaced it with their own troops, and all the equipment that was reequipped for the Fifth Army was far from meeting the standards of the Americans, at least the artillery and armor were seriously insufficient; Fearing to anger the Americans, the British finally gave some to the Fifth Army, and even gave their old tanks to the Fifth Army.

The gap of 50,000 people is too big, and if the British want China to send troops, they can only let the Americans bring weapons over, which needs to be delayed, which is also the reason why the expeditionary force has not been able to fully change its equipment.

"As long as it is not sold, the British got this batch of equipment, maybe it will make the Japanese devils have more headaches!"

Feng Yi thought in his heart that the prestige of the empire on which the sun never sets was made by the army, and he did not think that the combat effectiveness of the British army was low, and if that was the case, it would not have suppressed the entire European continent for hundreds of years.

"Feng, don't worry, as long as Rangoon is still there, the military supplies of the United States will arrive soon; Now that the two armies of the expeditionary force have entered Burma, the British originally had so many troops in Burma, and the port would not be so easy to lose. ”

In fact, if it were not for the need for warships at sea, the United States would only need a month to arm China's 500,000 soldiers, and this includes all heavy weapons.

"Linoldon, thank you, thank you."

Feng Yi nodded sincerely, in the face of international aid, China at this time only has gratitude, although this aid is in exchange for more things, but at least some people are willing to change, unlike two years ago, even if China is willing to change, European and American countries will only shake their heads.

On March 1, 1942, the Sixth Army, the vanguard of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, arrived in Lashio, and on the 4th, it arrived at Pingmanna to occupy the position to cover the main assembly of the expeditionary force.

But no one expected that the British had no intention of holding on to Burma from the beginning, and that the British already knew that the Japanese fleet was approaching Rangoon, and they were retreating from Rangoon.

On March 8, the Japanese army took Rangoon lightly.

"Shit! Damn British!"

The 85th regiment camp, since Lenoldton came here, Feng Ye has never been able to get rid of him, and follows his ass like a ghost every day; Fortunately, he slept in the morning and paid attention to the battle situation in Burma in the afternoon, so that Feng would only hear his complaints after returning to the camp in the afternoon.

"What's wrong?"

Feng Ye asked in surprise, this was the first time Feng Ye had seen this American officer so emotional.

"The British didn't hold out in Rangoon at all, Rangoon was lost."

Linolden hung his head in decadence.

"And our gear?"

Feng was most concerned about this, shaking Lyndon's shoulder.

"Don't worry, some of the equipment was spit out by the British, I don't know how much, it has already arrived in Lashio, it depends on luck."

Lynnoton spread his hands, indicating that there was nothing he could do.

After getting this news, Feng Ye is now desperate to get those Hanyang-made, Czech-style and Min-24 heavy machine guns in China, so that he does not have to carry a wooden stick to the battlefield.

"Linoldon, we're best friends, I have a request, I want you to help, is that okay?"

Feng Yi frowned and asked very seriously.

"Feng, you say."

Linolden raised his head.

"The Burma War has begun, can you get the battle situation ahead, at this time of the day, tell me here?"

Feng asked.

"It's no problem, it's not a secret in the first place, it's on me."

Linoldon patted his chest.

From this day on, Feng Ye no longer trained the troops himself, and let the battalion company commander continue training with the troops, and he looked at the map of Myanmar every day and cared about the battle situation on the front line.

On March 16, 1942, the Japanese army began to bomb Tonggu, and Chairman Tonggu began. On the 18th, the last brigade of the Anglo-Burmese 1st Division withdrew to Bere, including the 1st Division of the Anglo-Burmese Army, the 17th Division of the Anglo-Indian Army, the 63rd Brigade of the Anglo-Australian Army, and the 7th British Armored Brigade all began to retreat to India. In the afternoon of the same day, the Japanese vanguard advanced 12 kilometers south of the Pew River, but until this time the Japanese were still unaware that the Chinese army had taken over the British defense. The vanguard of the 200th Division engaged in contact and battle with the Japanese army at the Pew River, and more than 40 Japanese planes bombed Tonggu in three batches.

In the battle of March 29, the Japanese army increased its troops, and the 200 divisions that held on to Tonggu were in danger of being surrounded, and in the half-month battle, they annihilated more than 5,000 Japanese troops at the cost of killing more than 2,500 people, and then broke through and transferred from the northeast of Tonggu.

The entire Burma battlefield presented a different situation, the British army on the western front kept retreating, the Fifth Army and the Japanese army fought to the death on the middle road, and on the east road, the Japanese 56th Division had already appeared, and there was only the provisional 55th Division of the Sixth Army between Mochi, Loikaw, Taunggyi, and Leliem to Lashio in the east, and the entire area was seriously lacking in troops.

In the past half a month, every day Lenoldon has been cursing and cursing those damn British grandfathers, and Feng Ye has asked the division commander for equipment supplies for I don't know how many times in addition to training, and he wants to go to Burma to fight devils.

But every time I got the same answer, that is, the guns and ammunition waiting for US assistance, and the Ministry of Military Affairs of China has not planned to reequip them so far.
