Li Junhao nodded, and said with some regret: "How is Lieutenant General Hutton now?" Was he dismissed? Who will replace him? Is it Scott or Slim? ”

Stilwell gave a thumbs up in admiration and said, "You are right, Lieutenant General Hutton was dismissed from the post of commander of the Anglo-Burmese army and transferred to India as the commander of the Eastern Garrison Corps. However, he was replaced by Lieutenant General Alwin, the former commander of the Eastern Garrison, and Lieutenant General Scott replaced Slim as the commander of the 1st Division of the Anglo-Burmese Army; Slim has now followed Lieutenant General Hutton to India to recuperate. ”

"Alas! Unfortunately, the only two remaining generals in the Anglo-Burmese army who could fight a tough battle were dismissed, which means that the British army is ready to completely abandon Burma. Li Junhao sighed.

"Huh? It can't be! The three Chinese generals all exclaimed, and Liao Yaoxiang said: "No matter what, Burma is a colony of the British, will they give it up directly?" ”

"To be precise, Burma is only one of the British colonies, and it is still a small colony that is not too important, far less than the status of India." Li Junhao said.

"How could it not be important?" Liao Yaoxiang was anxious, "The Yunnan-Burma Highway is now the only military aid channel to support China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression...... Speaking of this, he himself understood, "Oh, I damn it, daring is not important to them British!" They don't care if we live or die! Is this still an ally? ”

Yu Shao (born in 1891) was older, and when he heard Liao Yaoxiang (born in 1906), he immediately pulled him and said softly: "Jian Chu, be cautious!" ”

Dai Anlan (born in 1904) also hurriedly said: "General Stilwell, General Pan Sen, please forgive me, Commander Liao was a little excited, and his speech was not appropriate. ”

Stilwell was not angry at all, but sighed lightly, and it was difficult to talk about the behavior of the British army, an "ally". However, although he agreed with Li Junhao's point of view in his heart, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that the British army would not completely lose face and really ignore the allies and withdraw from Burma without authorization!

At this time, a sound of footsteps sounded, and three signal soldiers ran in together, all reporting that an urgent telegram had come from the military headquarters, and the three division commanders hurriedly got up to take it and watch it.

Seeing the angry expressions of the three of them, Stilwell was a little surprised and asked, "Generals, what's wrong?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other and nodded, Yu Shao handed the telegram to Stilwell, Dai Anlan handed the telegram to Li Junhao, Liao Yaoxiang didn't know what to think, he actually handed the telegram to Xiaoyu who was making a record on the side, and then waved his hand to let the operators of the three divisions leave the tent.

Li Junhao, who had already guessed in his heart, read the telegram as soon as possible, waved his hand directly, and said: "General Liao is right, the behavior of the British can not be called allies at all, and their selfishness will ruin the entire war situation in Burma!" General Stilwell, I suggest you reconsider the war in Burma. ”

Stilwell, who had read the telegram, glanced at him, but did not know what to say, as for reconsidering the war in Burma, could he still bypass the British army? After all, this is a colony of the British army! At this time, he suddenly thought, no, Pan Sen also has a military position in the Indo-Burma theater, and if he reconsiders it, he will have to be pulled in!

Among the three Chinese generals, Yu Shao is the oldest, but he has been in the army since he was 17 years old, although he has rich military experience, but he still doesn't understand international politics, so he can't help but say: "But I don't understand, why did the British army do this?" On the one hand, they wanted us to hold on to Tonggu, but on the other hand, they asked our three divisions to return to them the weapons, equipment, and military supplies that the British army had already given us, and they still used the tone of orders. Without weapons and quartermasters, what do we fight with? ”

Liao Yaoxiang said even more angrily: "Moreover, our newly appointed commander Luo (Zhuoying) of the First Route Army even asked us to obey this order, which is really ridiculous!" ”

Dai Anlan said directly: "I will not accept this order, and even if Chief Luo agrees." ”

General Stilwell frowned tightly and said with some embarrassment: "Three generals, don't worry, I will negotiate with the British army immediately, it is impossible for you to hand over your weapons." ”

Li Junhao suddenly said at this time: "Several generals, I suggest that you immediately send a rapid reconnaissance force to Degong on the western front and Mengzhen on the eastern front to have a look, I am worried that the British army in these two places has begun to retreat." ”

"What?!" All four generals screamed, even Stilwell.

Stilwell patted his head and said hesitantly, "The British army won't really do this, right?" ”

"Just check it out!" Li Junhao said, "In addition, if it is true, if the expeditionary force wants not to be surrounded, it will have to divide its troops to garrison these two places." ”

The three Chinese generals glanced at each other, and they all saw the horror in each other's eyes!

Dai Anlan immediately went out and ordered his adjutant to convey the order, ordering the troops to immediately send two armored reconnaissance detachments to conduct reconnaissance in the two directions of Degong and Mengzhen, respectively, and once they found signs of retreat of the British army, they immediately reported with a vehicle-mounted radio.

When Dai Anlan returned to the tent, the faces of the three Chinese generals were extremely ugly, and they could never have imagined that the British army could be so shameless.

Stilwell's face was also not good-looking, he looked at Li Junhao, who was still the old god, and asked a little solemnly, "Og, did you expect this situation earlier?" ”

"What do you say, Joseph!" Li Junhao picked up the teapot and poured freshly brewed flower tea for a few people, "Let's sit down!" Dragone and Mongon are both less than 80 kilometres away, and it takes less than two hours to get a reply, so it's not too late to react. Don't worry, if the British army really retreats, I'm afraid that even the Japanese army will not dare to believe it for a while, and there will be enough time for the expeditionary force to deal with it. ”

When he said this, the four generals all thought that they were "extremely level"! Yes, even the Japanese army could not believe that the British army would do such a ridiculous thing, but in fact it is likely to come true before your eyes!

At this time, in fact, the four of them had basically agreed with Li Junhao's judgment.

"General Panson, can you tell us why the British are doing this?" Yu Shao couldn't help but ask this question again, because it was too uncomfortable in his heart.

Li Junhao organized the language in his heart and said: "Because this involves the position of the British on the colony and their views on interests......
