"Commander Sun, is this information about the movements of the Japanese army true?"

After clearing his voice, Chen Cheng turned his head to look at Sun Liren, the stakes were so important that he had to confirm it again and again.

"Report to the commander, the 54th Division of the Japanese Army has approached Lashio, followed by the 55th Division, the 49th Division and the 72nd Independent Mixed Brigade have all arrived in the Kazan area north of Mandalay, and are heading to Xib and Mon Ya in batches."

"This is the result of the joint investigation by our reconnaissance unit and the US military intelligence department, and before we have time to report it, it is conservatively estimated that there will be no less than 50,000 little devils this time."

Wow...

Sun Liren's words were shocking, and when they heard the news, all the officers showed expressions of disbelief, who would have expected that the Japanese, who had just suffered a defeat, would move so quickly.

Liao Mingyu rubbed his chin and secretly wondered that most of these Japanese troops should have been moving to northern Myanmar before the end of the Myitkyina Campaign, trying to support the five divisions trapped in Myitkyina, but the little devil didn't expect this battle to end so quickly.

However, in terms of intelligence, I also have to admire Sun Liren, in addition to knowing that a large number of Japanese troops are coming, he is completely unclear about the rest of the details, it seems that after going back, he has to supervise Yu Sifan and them to sit down in intelligence work.

"So Myanmar has to send a lot of people."

"Now that there are several armies over there, do you need additional reinforcements?"

"What do you mean!? Let the Indian army be in the front, and you bastards will watch the play in the back? Why? ”

"Who the is watching the show in the back!? Didn't my 71st Army contribute? ”

"I should let you try it too..."

"If you want to go, our division has lost more than half of it, and it hasn't been replenished yet!"

……

The conference room suddenly became noisy, and the officers of the various units were blushing and arguing, and they were arguing fiercely about the next course of action, but it was clear that the vast majority of people did not want to go back to Burma to drill the woods.

"Oh my God, Sun, look what they're doing..."Stilwell looked at the scene in front of him uncomfortably, he really couldn't understand why these Chinese people were sneering at each other like enemies.

Sun Liren shook his head and smiled bitterly, this situation is very common in the army of the national government that talks about factions, everyone wants to preserve their strength, and there are too few people who are willing to stand up and face it positively.

"That's it! Don't make any noise! What kind of system do they become like ordinary people in the market?! ”

Wei Lihuang knocked on the table and scolded impatiently:

"The battle has been fought to this point, who can be alone? Since none of you want to go abroad to fight, then I will command it! ”

Wei Lihuang's impassioned words made the conference room quiet again, but there were still many people who looked at their noses and noses, and they didn't make any statements with their own small calculations.

"Commander Wei, please calm your anger, the Japanese can't make waves with our army stationed in India in Burma, and the western Yunnan side only needs to provide us with logistical support." At this time, Sun Liren stood up.

It's better to ask for others than for yourself, and besides, even if those guys who fight the five scum go to Myanmar, they may not be able to perform well, but it is better to fight the war as they should according to the current situation.

"General Sun, there are still more than 100,000 troops in western Yunnan, don't worry, you still have to prepare for a retreat." Chen Cheng raised his hand to tell him not to be so excited.

"But..."Sun Liren still wanted to explain.

"There is nothing good about it, the army stationed in India has been told by the head of state to return to China for rearmament, obey the order!"

Chen Cheng's attitude was slightly aggravated, indicating that there was no discussion on this matter. Gu Yu

The tens of thousands of people in the New First Army and the New Sixth Army were trained by the Yankees, and the weapons and equipment in their hands were the most in the country, and the heavy artillery and heavy armor units could be said to be proud of the others.

Although he was unwilling, Sun Liren also understood that the Fuhrer's suspicion had been committed again.

In the past year or so, because the troops are all in India, the Chongqing one has almost no control over them, and the closer he is getting closer to the Americans has gradually caused the other party to gradually lose trust.

Lao Chiang's heart is a needle at the bottom of the sea, the army stationed in India is not cannon fodder, rather than letting them continue to be consumed on the battlefield in Burma, it is better to transfer back to China as soon as possible to reorganize and increase the control of this army, otherwise it will be troublesome to lead the Yankees astray.

"Okay, you Western Yunnan will send two armies to Burma to replace General Sun's vacancy, as for the 88th Army..."

"Chief Chen, I very much agree with the Führer's order, but the position of our army is too high, and the top priority at the moment should be to solve the Japanese counterattack first, so as to ensure that there is no problem with the international aid line before deciding on other matters, otherwise if there is a problem with the Sino-Indian highway, our efforts in the past two years will be in vain."

Liao Mingyu hurriedly jumped out to show his attitude, and if he didn't say a few words, he was really arranged to be transferred back, it was just holding the second brother "playing with eggs"

"Hmm... There's some truth to what you're saying, but..."

Chen Cheng hesitated, indeed, as the former said, the position of the new 88th Army was opposite the Japanese, and it was not that it could be withdrawn if it was mobilized.

But all the same, the 88th Army ... In other words, he knows a little bit about the situation of the Honorary Third Division, and just like the army stationed in India, it is first-class and strong in terms of combat effectiveness and equipment.

Although he doesn't know how Liao Mingyu turned a group of cannon fodder into elites, Lao Jiang still doesn't feel at ease to let the captain of this team hang alone abroad, and at the same time, his attitude towards the former is hesitant, giving him a lot of privileges but not fully trusting him.

"That's it, the defense of Lashio is temporarily in charge of your 88th Army, and you will withdraw from Burma after the support troops arrive, and I will make detailed arrangements later, but... Don't make it difficult for me in front of the Führer. ”

In the end, Chen Cheng still made a decision, and he can still figure out which is more important at the moment, and when the time comes, he will explain to the Führer and explain that it is not a big problem.

"Yes! After completing the task, the humble post will definitely obey the commander's arrangement, and will never embarrass the commander! ”

Now he can't care so much, Liao Mingyu hurriedly agreed, and at the same time made a horse-headed look.

That being said, who can say for sure what will happen next, anyway, as long as you are in Myanmar. As the old saying goes, generals will not be subject to foreign military orders, and when Lao Tzu establishes a base area, it will not be controlled by others at that time.

"Hmm... Good! ”

Chen Cheng couldn't help laughing and said, the more he looked at Liao Mingyu, the more pleasing he felt to the eye, who didn't like his capable and talkative subordinates? If this kid continues to develop like this, he will definitely be the dragon and phoenix among the people in the future, and his own "civil engineering department" will definitely have a place for him.

At this point, the meeting basically finalized that except for the 88th Army, which continued to stay in Burma to defend against the Japanese, the 38th Division of the New First Army would temporarily stay to cooperate with the operation, but all other units had to be withdrawn to Kunming for reorganization.

All the high-ranking officers of the army stationed in India also had to be transferred back to China for other arrangements, and this result also brought some regrets to Sun Liren, who wanted to continue to gallop on the battlefield.

In addition, the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force sent two armies to support northern Burma, but there was a problem as to which general would lead the army out of Burma.

A few old slippery heads pushed back and forth, and the reasons were also strange, like what troops suffered too many losses, too many recruits and lacked combat experience... In the final analysis, it is a sentence, whoever is happy to go will go anyway, Lao Tzu will not go.

In the end, it was another stunned Qingyu Xiaoqing who stood up to take the lead, which ended a farce.

Stilwell is helpless, the Chinese people are determined to withdraw the army, the command is a simple thing, when the troops are at your disposal, but when people are really unwilling to continue to invest, you can't change anything.

But fortunately, there are still some troops left on the Burmese side, and it seems that the president will have to put pressure on their head of state, and it is better to give himself clear command and dispatch authority, otherwise it will be too constrained by others.

Thinking of this, Stilwell couldn't help but look at the young man who was mysterious, just from the current point of view, his personal ability and achievements are higher than Sun Liren's, maybe he is another object that can be wooed...
