Chapter 1264: The Possibility of Returning to the Positive!
The battle of the Hukang Valley was a great victory, and all the officers of this military conference were very happy, but this war briefing made the whole atmosphere turn sharply, and everyone's faces were full of anxiety, because the British army only had disappointment in the eyes of these soldiers.
"In view of the fact that the Japanese army has threatened the rear of our army, the command has ordered the 50th Division and the new 30th Division of the Expeditionary Force, which have just arrived in India, to assist in the defense of Imphal."
The chief of staff had just stopped, looking at the serious expressions of the officers, Liao Yaoxiang hurriedly reported new information, indicating that there were still Chinese soldiers in the back road, so that they could stabilize their mentality.
"Whatever our back course may be, there has never been a better time than now for a counter-attack on Myitkyina; Because the Japanese army was insufficient, once we waited for the Japanese 15th Army to return to the division, we would not only face one 18th division, but three or even four divisions. ”
Liao Yaoxiang explained the current situation to the brothers, continuing to attack without time to recuperate, which would make the troops very tired, but if this opportunity is lost, it will be gone; Several divisions of the Japanese army shrank up to defend, how long will they fight?
"Most of the people here were evacuated from the first expedition, and how many brothers died along the way? How many of our wounded soldiers and brothers who cannot be evacuated have become the souls of the devil's butcher's knife? Two years have passed, but those of us who have evacuated must not forget, we must not let the tragedy of the retreat repeat here, and we will take our brothers back to China! ”
Liao Yaoxiang shouted, cheering up the morale of the brothers.
"Divisional commander, you just give the order! The brothers did not say a word, and resolutely carried out the order. ”
"Division Commander, we dare not forget the shame of the first expedition, we must let the little devil pay for it with blood......"
......
After Liao Yaoxiang's instigation, whether it was the new 22nd Division or the new 38th Division, all the regiment commanders were a little excited, and stood up one by one to ask for battle.
"Your will to fight is no problem, as long as we can take Myitkyina, even if the Japanese 15th Army returns from Imphal and relies on the Mong Gong River Valley, the Japanese army can only withdraw from northern Burma and western Yunnan, otherwise their troops in this area can only be dumplings by us."
Sun Liren knew that it was time for him to play, and Liao Yaoxiang had done his best when he said this.
In this battle plan, in addition to the frontal attack, Stilwell gave a name for the raid on Myitkyina, called Project King Cobra; Captain Feng, what do you think of the current situation? ”
Sun Liren smiled at the corner of his mouth and pointed out to let Feng Yi express his opinion.
In fact, before the meeting, Feng had already received a document from Stilwell, which was sent by Unit 5307 when he was picking up the wounded, and he thought he was asking him to express his opinion on the King Cobra project.
"The Eye King Snake plan is a tactical concept of air-ground integration, which is very rare in large-scale combat operations, and it can be said that since the beginning of World War II, it is the first time that a city with a solid defensive force has been attacked with the concept of air-ground integration; The risk is very great, testing the troops' ability to conceal and approach, testing the suddenness of the attack, and at the same time testing the ground-air coordination, communication support, officers' adaptability, and other aspects, as long as any of these links fail, the troops attacking Myitkyina will be in a predicament, and if there is no way to guarantee logistics, it will be a disaster for the troops attacking Myitkyina; Relative to the risks, this operation, if successful, would result in a major victory at very small cost. ”
Feng Yi's voice was very slow, to be honest, he didn't want to take risks, two parachutes, knocked out all his luck, and at the same time, for the adaptation of the Americans, the brothers paid again and again with blood.
"Soldiers, it is our duty to obey orders, and at present, my department is directly under the command of Stilwell, I don't seem to have any other choice, I hope this plan can end perfectly like this plan."
Feng Yi smiled bitterly, in fact, he did not need to participate in this combat meeting, this afternoon, he was going to withdraw to Xinpingyang and prepare to participate in the King Cobra plan.
"Guys, take a ten-minute break, and resume the meeting in ten minutes."
Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang glanced at each other and nodded, they felt that there was a play.
"Colonel Feng, sir, please."
Walking out of the tent, Feng Yi had just taken out a cigarette and lit it, and Liu Jianzhang, chief of staff of the new 22nd Division, walked to Feng Ye's side and pointed to the other side, where Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang were looking at him and nodding slightly.
Feng Ye took two puffs, put the cigarette butt still on the ground, and walked over directly.
"General!"
Feng Yi saluted first, his current position was very awkward, and the chief seemed to be a little suspicious of taking the initiative to post it.
"No need to be polite, get one."
Liao Yaoxiang handed over half a box of cigarettes.
"Yo! Old knife card! ”
Feng Yi looked at the familiar cigarette case and lit it directly.
"How? Are domestic cigarettes more suitable for our mouths? ”
Liao Yaoxiang looked at Feng Yi's expression and said jokingly.
"It's still so pure!"
Feng Ye took a sharp puff, how long had it been since he had smoked a cigarette from China? He seemed to have forgotten a little.
"Master Sun, I remember that you still have a piece of stock there! Don't take care of your little brother? ”
Liao Yaoxiang looked at Sun Liren and started to rob directly.
"Gotcha! I'm afraid of moles! I don't pump much anyway, I'll give it to you! ”
Sun Liren smiled heartily.
"Sir, don't just call me over to satisfy my appetite!"
Feng Yi understood that these two people must have something to do with themselves, I am afraid that they came with their own equipment, and he really doesn't care, no, it is impossible for Stilwell not to replenish himself, including the latest Bazooka, he can send it out, he knows that the second batch of Bazooka has arrived in Xinpingyang.
"Interested in fighting with the brethren?"
Liao Yaoxiang took this opportunity to finally speak out.
"Haven't I been fighting with the New First Army?"
Feng Yi was stunned and deliberately pretended to be stupid.
"Division Commander Liao means to directly accept the command of Commander Zheng Dongguo and cooperate with us to attack from the front."
Sun Liren pointed in the direction of Meng Gong.
"Thank you, sir, for being able to afford it, of course I'm fine, but I'm afraid Stilwell won't be able to handle it."
Feng Yi smiled bitterly.
"Are you willing, then?"
Sun Liren asked.
"As long as Stilwell is okay, I'm sure I'm fine."
Feng Yi nodded, the new First Army is very strong in combat, and with them as allies, it is much more reliable than those American GIs in Meryl's detachment.
"Cheng, Stilwell, you don't care about it, you prepare, see what supplies you need, prepare to cross the Kumang Mountains, I will let the 112th Regiment make a detour on your periphery to meet you."
Sun Liren laughed and patted Feng Ye on the shoulder, not stinging with his excitement.
The biggest problem was solved, Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang didn't expect Feng Yi to be so easy to talk to, it was very difficult to cross the Kumang Mountains, and they finally had a reliable force to complete it, which would make them have a lot less pressure to attack head-on.
