It is meaningless to China to live in Yangmi on the 22nd. It is a port where cattle can rely on. Although Guangzhou has been recovered, it is still blocked by the Japanese Navy. Large-scale strategic materials cannot be used here at all...

"We should enter Myanmar now," said Chen Mingren: "Build defensive positions in the line of Maotanjin and Jingdong. Use these positions to consume the strength of the Japanese army, and then gather to annihilate them.

, heart

Zhuang Jihua still didn't speak, and it was impossible to enter Myanmar now. The British had changed their issue of cooperation in fighting against Japan. After the Japanese army entered Indochina, the British's attitude became more positive. Dennis, the new military officer of the embassy, ​​took the initiative to contact him. He hoped that the two sides could cooperate in fighting against Japan. However, after the outbreak of the Soviet-Japanese War, the British's attitude immediately turned 180 degrees. They secretly arrived in Myanmar this time, proving that the British would not agree to the squadron entering Myanmar now.

"Commander, don't worry about what the British think. Our two armies will drive over. What should we do to see him?" Xia Yanglin looked down on the British from the bottom of his heart. These British people have neither the strength to protect Myanmar nor are willing to seek help from China, for fear of losing the face of the empire that will never set in the future.

"Dianlan's face sank: "If this is the case, the British will join forces with the Japanese to deal with us."

"Impossible" Xia Yanglin waved his hand: "Absolutely impossible, don't forget that they are the steel axis. The steel axis that needs to be together when they shit and fart.

Shang Zhen couldn't help but smile. He had the shadow of West Point Military Academy. He didn't know that he thought he was from Green Forest and could not read two words. But don't say it, he said it makes sense. The British really couldn't unite with the Japanese unless they were willing to surrender to the Germans.

"These British people, only when the Japanese bombs landed on their heads, could they wake up and shake their heads. The New Eighth Army was stationed at the border. Now everything is ready, just waiting for the order to be issued.

Listening to everyone's talkative discussions, Zhuang Jihua suddenly smiled: "The British's plan is probably wrong. Let me tell you one thing. The Yunnan-Burma Highway is not our only transportation route to connect with the outside world. We also have the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. Four of us have started to build this road. Next spring, we will be able to connect the entire line. The engineering troops led by General Yu Peilin have made great contributions.

"With this road, we bargained for the capital. At worst, we could build more trucks. Zhuang Jihua paused when everyone responded, Shang Zhen maintained his demeanor and the others collectively realized.

"But politically, we are required to go abroad to fight a war, so we still have to go to Myanmar, but we are not going to help the British, but building an outer barrier for western Yunnan. So in the report submitted to the Chairman, we must estimate various possibilities. In addition, the issue of military strength, the Director of Commerce said it well. It is absolutely not enough to rely on the current two troops. I think at least five reorganized troops are needed. In addition, it means 250,000 to 300,000 people. In terms of technical weapons, Myanmar is mountainous, and tanks do not have much use, so there is no need for many tanks." The blade heavy artillery does not require too many, one regiment is enough.

"Secondly, the formation of a guerrilla detachment is full of mountains and jungles in Myanmar, which is conducive to guerrilla warfare. The hundreds of special forces members trained by Colonel Song Yunfei and Colonel Zhao Hanjie are far from enough. After the war begins, the remaining units will be formed by themselves.

"When will the troops enter Myanmar? It is up to the Chairman to decide. One thing that everyone should be relieved. Once Japan goes south, it will first target the United States. Whether we are willing to send troops or not, whether the British agree to us to enter, we will eventually enter Myanmar to fight, because the United States will beg us to protect Myanmar or India and use this as a bridgehead to counterattack South Asia. So don't be lucky, we will eventually fight against the Japanese army in Myanmar in Myanmar.

When Shang Zhen thought that Yangon might not be able to be saved, these generals were all disheartened and some were unwilling to contribute to the British.

Zhuang Jihua then divided the work, and he was responsible for writing military and diplomatic reports and providing combat strategies; Shang Zhen was responsible for the dynamics of the British in Myanmar, Dai Anlan and Xia Yanglin were responsible for drafting the Mandalay defense deployment. Chen Mingren and Huang Botao were responsible for drafting the South Myanmar combat plan. The two staff members brought by Shang Zhen were responsible for drafting the logistics support plan. All plans were finally reviewed and approved by Zhuang Jihua before they were reported to Chiang Kai-shek.

By the end of November, the entire East Asian battlefield seemed relatively quiet. Except for some small-scale firefighting, both the Chinese and Japanese armies stopped large-scale combat, and even the war on the battlefield behind enemy lines calmed down. The only big battle occurred in the Xiangyuan, where the Eighth Route Army division crossed the entire grassland, fought to the Sino-Mongolia border, and then entered Mongolia.

After receiving the report, Chiang Kai-shek just smiled faintly and told Hu Zongnan and Fu Zuoyi that it would not interfere or assist. It was expected that the Soviet Union equipped the Eighth Route Army, but there was no free lunch in the world. Since he had taken the Soviet Union's weapons, he should contribute to the Soviet Union and could no longer hide it.

The actions of the Eighth Route Army attracted the attention of the Japanese army. This area where the Japanese army and Fu Zuoyi's troops confronted each other was extremely combat-effective. The Japanese army was on a defensive position in this area. If the Eighth Route Army was invested here again, the Japanese army would be unbearable. The commander of the Mongolian Governor Governor Naosaburo quickly requested the increase of troops, and Mijiro Umezu drew a B-type division from the troops attacking the Soviet Union to station in Baotou.

But what surprised Chiang Kai-shek and Mejiro Umezu was that after the Eighth Route Army entered the Mongolian border, the stand-alone disappeared. It seemed that this thing never happened, which was confusing.

The US's attack situation gradually relaxed. However, the negotiations did not make progress. After the Japanese envoy came to Washington, he held three rounds of negotiations with Secretary of State Hull, who refused to give in during the negotiations. On the contrary, he added a new condition, requiring the Japanese army to withdraw troops from China's Soviet Union and Indochina and abandon Manchukuo. This, the new demands angered all Japanese generals, and calls for war were heard throughout the entire army building.

On December 6, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Fifth Army, which was gathered on the border of Guangxi and Guangdong, to be renovated in the west, to be transferred to Guizhou. The Fifth Army is China's strategic reserve team, with two infantry troops and one tank division. The entire army is all American-style equipment, with 340 tanks and 200 armored vehicles.

In addition, the 66th Army was transferred from the Fourth War Zone, and the 58th Army was transferred from the Fifth War Zone to western Yunnan. The 58th Army was the Yunnan Army. Chiang Kai-shek did not want to transfer the Yunnan Army back to Yunnan. However, Lu Han led the soldiers of the 58th Army to write letters several times, demanding that the Yunnan soldiers be led to the southern Yunnan fight against the Japanese invaders and protect the relatives of his hometown.

Lu Han's request was filled with tears, "The soldiers bravely fought against the bent enemies in front of them, but they were worried about their hometown. The congressmen were a lot, and the soldiers were not in a fight. I beg the Chairman to understand their feelings and feel the worries of the soldiers." Long Yun was very smart this time. He did not speak a word in Chongqing and remained calm. He secretly encouraged Hu Yan and others to write a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, hoping to transfer the soldiers of the Yunnan Army back to Yunnan to defend their hometown.

Faced with this feeling, Chiang Kai-shek had to consider the specific situation of the 58th Army, and finally agreed to Lu Han's request. However, he did not let Lu Han go to southern Yunnan but asked Zhuang Jihua to continue to command. He believed that Zhuang Jihua could suppress Lu Han and the soldiers of the Yunnan Army of the 58th Army.

Zhuang Jihua was anxiously waiting for the arrival of December 7th. Instead of returning to Guiyang, he stayed in Kunming and began to form the Expeditionary Force headquarters and deal with related matters of the war.

But this day finally came. I heard the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor for a whole day. Zhuang Jihua's heart was so intense that he sank. Has history really changed completely, the United States reached a compromise with Japan, and Japan would no longer attack the United States. If so, then Ritakasuke's actions would be worth the loss.

"Cultural Revolution, what's wrong with you? I was restless, looking at him with a puzzled look like Xia Yanglin. This was something I had never seen before. She felt that Zhuang Jihua had something to do in his heart, and it was a big deal.

"It's nothing, it's just a restless mood. Zhuang Jihua concealed it. He grabbed the military cap and said, "Forget it. Let's rest, it's getting late. I can't finish it anyway."

Gong Xiuhua looked at Zhuang Jihua with doubts, then silently put down the documents in his hand, stood up and followed Zhuang Jihua, and arrived at the door. She said, "Let's go out for a walk. I heard that the scenery in Kunming is very good at night.

Gong Xiuhua thought that Zhuang Jihua was in a boredom because of the many things. The military order had been issued, and the army had already gathered in western Yunnan, but the headquarters was delayed. Zhuang Jihua was already in charge of the command, but his mother Yong had doubted that Zhuang Jihua proposed Xu Zuyi as chief of staff, but Chiang Kai-shek did not approve it. Zhuang Jihua also proposed that Gong Chu be the chief of combat, but Chiang Kai-shek did not approve it.

When we went to Myanmar, there were many troops gathered and there were so many things that needed to be handled, but the headquarters was unable to be formed for a long time. Everything was handled in the name of the Southwest Camp. However, the main organization of the Southwest Camp was in Guiyang. There was no soldier or soldier in western Yunnan near the battlefield. Zhuang Jihua had to rely on his previous prestige to command.

Kunming has not been bombed by Japanese aircraft. The night market is quite lively, and the theater is still crowded. The paintings and singing and dancing on Kunming Lake are still the same. A few people changed into casual clothes and walked around the city casually, looking at the bustling crowd, like ordinary people, eating snacks on the street.

, Gan Wan

They thought they had changed into casual clothes. Their demeanor was also very conspicuous in the crowd. Wu Ziniu quickly noticed that there were several tails behind him. He didn't say anything and quietly noticed that it was Weber and Charles, as well as the female reporter Ye Xufei.

They are all old acquaintances.

But these people just followed silently and did not mean to say hello. Wu Ziniu felt a little surprised. He quietly reported to Zhuang Jihua. He suggested going back immediately, it was too unsafe to transfer like this.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and turned around and walked towards Webber and the others.
