During the Cultural Revolution, the principal also wanted to fight Yan Dele. "Yu Jishi was careful to talk about Zhaonuo Cave. He was a little worried. Chiang Kai-shek called a few days ago. He suggested that they use the powerful terrain of Mandalay to organize a battle here to slam the arrogance of the Japanese army.

"The first thing we need to do now is to preserve the army. Let the principal explain the situation clearly, and the principal will naturally understand it." Zhuang Jihua frowned and said. He did not like others to interfere with his command, but Chiang Kai-shek's tone was gentle and he did not give a direct order. This was also for Zhuang Jihua. If he wanted to change others, he might have already gone to Myanmar to inspect the army.

"How can Shi Mawei answer?" Xiao Yisu asked.

“Don’t care about him.

. Zhuang Jihua hesitated and said that he could deal with Alexander unscrupulously, but he could not deal with Stilwell like this. After all, the most important supporter of the United States and China.

The contact with Tonggu was kept open, and Dai Anlan sent a war report every half day. Yu Chengwan, who was in Darcy, was also nervous. Because he was worried that Dai Anlan would be surrounded, he ordered a brigade to be drawn from Pingmanna's New Forty-fourth Division to go north of Mura, and then reported to Zhuang Jihua and asked to be commanded by Pingmanna. The New Eighth Army was temporarily commanded by Deputy Commander and Chief of Staff Shi Guanjiu, and Zhuang Jihua also agreed.

"Did Tang Ji, also known as Dongzhilei, find out the enemy's situation?"

Behind the northern side of Tonggu, Tangji is a key area near the Thailand-Myanmar border between Myanmar and China, and the New 28th Division is responsible for defending this area.

"Director He called, but no trace of the Japanese army was found." After Xiao Yisu finished speaking, he reminded him again: "Do you want to send our latest deployment to Director He?

"Don't send a telegram, send someone." Zhuang Jihua nodded: "The telegram is not safe. Tell He Wei that if Tang Ji is attacked by the Japanese army, he must hold on for three days. In addition, the materials must be transported quickly. There cannot be any delay. "Hao Lu Houde is here?" Zhuang Jihua turned his head and asked, "Lu Houde was the commander-in-chief of the Yunnan branch of the Logistics Department. Zhuang Jihua transferred him to the expeditionary army this time. He was responsible for logistics affairs and asked Hong Junqi to send someone else to replace him.

"No, he went to Pingmanna and Gong Chu replied.

"What did he do to Pingmanna?" Zhuang Jihua asked with a frown.

"The British army had two stair warehouses in Pingmanna. It is said that there were 500 cannons alone and about 20,000 barrels of gasoline and diesel. He rushed over." Gong Chu said.

"The supplies here must be transported as soon as possible. The Japanese army is counting on these things." Zhuang Jihua said: "Deputy Chief of Staff Gong, you are responsible for this matter. You can take all necessary measures."

After Zhuang Jihua finished speaking, he wrote a warrant and handed it to Gong Chu. Gong Chu took it and turned around and left. He arrived at the door and was meeting Stilwell and Alexander who were coming in. He paused and asked them before going out.

"Zhuang, I think we can talk about it again." Stilwell said: "General Alexander had just contacted the front, and Bei Mi was indeed lost. He had not received any reports before that, and it was handled by Chief of Staff Hu Dun."

Zhuang Jihua looked at them coldly, Shi Bianwei looked grim, and Alexander still maintained his aristocratic arrogance, holding a carefully carved trick in his hand.

"Zhuang, I'm sorry." Alexander's expression didn't look like an apology at all: "I hope to forget this unpleasant thing as soon as possible, we must block the Japanese in Mandalay."

"There is no need to talk about the matter in Mandalay. Our army came to Myanmar with only one purpose, to eliminate the Japanese. However, since the entry into Myanmar, your country has set up many obstacles, which has not yet been fully assembled. Now I find that your country has no confidence in defending Myanmar. What you are thinking about is how to withdraw to India as soon as possible, so that our army can attract Japanese attacks and bear all the pressure. So I have ordered the cancellation of the Battle of Mandalay, and our army will gradually retreat north. I will officially notify you here."

Zhuang Jihua looked grim. Now he did not plan to circle with Stilwell, nor did he intend to give Alexander face. Stilwell suddenly lost his composure and rushed forward a few steps forward.

Zhuang, the Battle of Mandalay was negotiated by the Allies, so you can't just cancel it. And I am the chief of staff of the Chinese theater. Without my consent, the Battle of Mandalay cannot be cancelled."

"General Stilwell, I have always respected you very much, but I cannot implement this order. My troops are still scattered along the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and the transportation power is insufficient. Where is the air cover promised by the British side? Besides, we have seen many British teams along the way. Can you see that they have the will to fight? Fifty thousand people guard Yangon, but they only stayed for two days. Can such an army fight?" Zhuang Jihua was very energetic and his voice was louder than Stilwell.

When Zhuang Jihua got angry, Stilwell calmed down. He and Alexander exchanged glances. Alexander did not care about Zhuang Jihua's view of the British army. He calmly pushed the gold-rimmed glasses: "General Zhuang, our performance in the early battles was indeed not good, but now it is different. After rectification, our army's morale has been completely restored. The officers and soldiers are now eager to fight and wash away the shame. As for your team, as far as I know, two armies have arrived in Myanmar, and the main forces of the third army have all entered Myanmar. In this way, we have concentrated 200,000 troops, which is completely enough to fight in Mandalay."

"In Mandalay?" Zhuang Jihua sneered: "We are here to fight. General Alexander, I would like to ask you first, when will the air cover you promised by your country arrive? Also, how do you plan to command your team?"

Alexander Chen Ning regrets that the Royal Air Force is now strongly supporting the Myanmar operations. Royal Air Force needs strength in Europe. However, the mission of the Army is to eliminate the enemy on the surface. Without the Air Force, it can also eliminate the enemy."

He stood there with a magnificent waving his cane, his tone was strong. If he had not seen their background clearly, Zhuang Jihua would have really thought that the British wanted to compete with the Japanese here seriously.

"Telephone with the same Gu" Xiao Yisu received the telegram from a staff officer and reported to Zhuang Jihua. Zhuang Jihua said nothing without replying. Xiao Yisu picked up the telegram: "In the afternoon, the fierce battle between Tonggu continued. The Japanese 18th Division attacked Ekchun and Ekchun and Tantabao respectively under the cover of aircraft and tanks. Our army relied on the preset position to fight resolutely and killed more than 200 Japanese troops; another 2,000 Japanese troops bypassed Kakechun and attacked Keyonggang Airport, and were repelled by the Mongolian regiment of the 786th Brigade. Yu led the division headquarters to continue in the city, and our army suffered little casualties.

"General Zhuang, your subordinates are still fighting, so you are ready to retreat and escape. Are you worthy of your subordinates?"

Stilwell is now very angry. Zhuang Jihua of this Hai is no longer the brave and tenacious commander in Xuzhou, Nanjing, but a general who is as afraid of the enemy as a tiger and as timid as a mouse.

"Many". Zhuang Jihua snorted lightly and was about to fight back. Yu Jishi was worried that it would make the relationship too stiff, so he quickly interrupted: "General Stilwell, General Alexander. Since it is a joint operation, we want to know the deployment of the British army."

Yu Jishi's interruption made Alexander and Shi Mawei have an illusion that Zhuang Jihua's anger just now was just pretending to behave, and the ultimate goal was to raise the price.

"Bimu has been lost, but our army is still in Alanlang, Yoktapo, Obangwei, Shask, Wuwai, Todunzhi, and Ren'anchang. Three lines of defense were set up, and the last main position was set up in Chokbadang. After the consumption of the three lines of defense, we can severely teach the Japanese to be scrapped off in Chokbadang." Alexander seemed very confident.

Zhuang Jihua was about to object, and Yu Jishi hurriedly said: "Since that is the case, how much force is your country planning to invest?"

"Four divisions and one division is on the way to arrive, with a total force of about 100,000. If the 15th Division can arrive in time, the total force can reach 120,000 Alexander is confident: "I have replaced a group of timid and cowardly officers. Under the leadership of the new officer, the soldiers are full of fighting spirit and are waiting for the Japanese to come.

Zhuang Jihua was a little puzzled. How could this British aristocrat say something about lies? It seemed that this was a necessary quality for the nobles. They were full of fighting spirit. Beimue lost it without fighting. The Japanese army came out of Myanmar and took only four days to conquer Beimue. Four days, they marched and fought for more than 500 kilometers. I really don’t know how high the morale was, so that the Japanese army could achieve such an outstanding record.

Yu Jishi Zhuang Jihua winked at him. His meaning was very clear, so he asked him to say a few words casually. He just fooled the two of them. As for how to fight, we should fight and fight. Whoever sells it will be uncertain.

Unexpectedly, Stilwell was wrong. When he turned his head, Alexander said: "The battles some time ago proved that General Hu Dun's ability is not enough to command such a big battle. Can you personally command your team?"

According to the truth, Alexander was Stilwell's superior. Stilwell was just the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force. "Alexander was the commander-in-chief of the entire Burmese Allied Forces, but the situation is different now. If the British want to achieve their goals, they must rely on Stilwell's power.

"General Shimawei, I will go to the front to command the troops myself. We will definitely block the Japanese from the south of Chokbadang." Alexander replied without hesitation.

Stilwell immediately struck while the iron was hot and looked at Zhuang Jihua eagerly: "General Zhuang, you have heard General Alexander's words. I don't know what else to prevent us from teaching the Japanese here?

Zhuang Jihua and Alexander were forced to do so. He was very helpless and angry. He was about to refute, but suddenly he saw a hint of pride on Alexander's face. When his thoughts were turned, he knew that

.

"Damn British guy, it turns out you're here to be a trap for me." Zhuang Jihua understood in vain why Alexander insisted repeatedly. This kid thought that as long as he insisted on the battle, he would be invincible no matter what.

If a battle really occurs, the British army will be on the Western Front. They can retreat to Erta at any time and leave a squadron to fight with the Japanese army. Stilwell will bear the responsibility for losing Myanmar. On the contrary, if Zhuang Jihua firmly opposes the battle, the British army will naturally retreat to India. The criminal who lost Myanmar will be Zhuang Jihua. He will not suffer any loss no matter what.

Zhuang Jihua sneered in his heart, since that's the case, don't blame me for being unjust. "Since that's the case, I agree to fight the Japanese in Mandalay, but I hope General Alice can personally command the British army and boost morale with his reputation. As long as you can defend the Western Front, we can defend the front and the Eastern Front. My headquarters is located in Mandalay

Stilwell finally breathed a sigh of relief, Alexander was proud of himself, and he said solemnly: "Please rest assured General Zhuang, I will personally command the British army and save the situation in Myanmar."

I had something happened yesterday and I didn’t have time to update it, so I made up for it today.
