Kun is sorry, Jingsheng, he was also running between Yandler and Lashio. Besides, after three hours of sleep, he was too tired and needed rest. We said goodbye. Seeing that everyone in the club looked here, Ke stood up and helped Ruhr walk out. Ruhr walked while walking: "India. Go to India, Her Majesty's crown."

"It seems to be similar to what we expected," Weber told Charles: "The allies still have doubts about whether to block the Japanese army in Mandalay, at least China and Britain have differences."

"But" Charles thought about it, and although he thought Weber's point of view was reasonable, he was still a little confused: "But Stilwell seemed very confident, isn't that the case? He has a lot of confidence."

"The biggest mistake of the United States is that it has not sent a force to Myanmar." Weber sighed and stood up: "It's no longer interesting here, let's go to Lashio."

"Go to Lashio?" Charles was a little surprised: "If you don't go to Mandalay? Why go to Lashio?"

"If Mandalay is given up, Zhuang will definitely choose Lashio.

"Weber said: "Charles, believe me, if Mandalay is smoke, Laxu is the real trump card."

"Okay, let's go to Lashio." Charles also stood up. Logan shook his head: "Governor Smith and I have an exclusive interview, and then we will go to Mandalay to interview General Stilwell."

But the traffic to Lashio was very tight, the train was crowded with refugees, and rumors were everywhere in Myanmar that the Japanese army was going to kill all the Chinese in Myanmar, and the Chinese in Myanmar fled to the country frantically. Weber and Charles did not take the train without Ximandalay, and they met Rick again in the city.

The eyebrows are not big, and it is equivalent to a big town or a small county in China. However, this is a famous tourist destination in Myanmar, surrounded by mountains, with flowers blooming all year round and beautiful scenery. After Rick sent Ruhr back to the hotel, he received an order, so he embarked on the road to Lashio again.

However, he went to Lashio to meet the needs of Weber and Nars. Weber and Charles took his car to Lashio. Rick skillfully drove a jeep on the mountain road, and it took two days and two nights from Mei Miao to Lashio. Perhaps he was familiar with it, or maybe he was driving. Rick's expression became less restrained, and he also said more.

"This kind of American car is best for running on such mountain roads. I heard that China can also build this kind of jeep, is that true?"

"Yes, they have made it a long time ago." Charles sat in the passenger seat and looked at the refugees trekking north. This scene had happened many times in China and was repeated in Myanmar. Weber and another sergeant named Brack were sitting behind.

Brack smiled and said, "Sir, how did they build it? I heard that there are only women with little feet and smoke guns there, and they actually have such a good car."

"Sergeant, you really should go to China." Weber was condescending to the habits of Westerners. He had long been used to talking about China's situation. He was too lazy to explain anything, because no matter how he explained it, they would not believe it: "They will never be as weak as you think."

"Mr. Weber is right." Rick skillfully controlled the steering wheel and bypassed the obstacles in the road: "You have to admit that the most beautiful battle in Southeast Asia was the one that the Chinese fought in the ancient times. A division blocked the attack of three times that of the Japanese army and did much more beautiful than us."

"Captain, is the RAF really going to give up Southeast Asia?" Charles's face was a little dull. The violent wind made him feel a little cold.

Reek glanced at him: "Of course not, but the Germans' offensive in North Africa is fierce. We have to retreat from Libya. We must concentrate all our strength to block the German army in Egypt, otherwise the Germans will probably rush to the Middle East." "Then aren't you worried that the Japanese will rush into India at once?" Weber asked sharply.

"No," Rick shook his head and said: "The Chinese will not let them enter India. The Chinese need American material support. Once the Japanese army rushes into India, China will be completely isolated. They will never allow this to happen."

Rick's point of view represents the views of most officers in the British army. In their opinion, Myanmar's gains and losses have little to do with them. Their primary task is to save India, and the troops in Myanmar cannot lose too much.

Weber remained silent and stared at Charles from the reflector. Charles smiled bitterly. It seemed that Weber was about to be the second time again. In this way, the prospects of the Battle of Myanmar were very pessimistic. The British and Chinese were unwilling to fight. Without them, no matter how Shi Bianwei jumped up and down, he would have to fail in the end.

Rick was very fast. Even so, it was late the next night in Lashio. Several people were exhausted and were about to find a hotel to sleep. Unexpectedly, they were stopped at the gate of the city. The soldiers in front of the checkpoint insisted on asking for a pass, otherwise they would not be allowed to enter the city.

Rick repeatedly declared his identity, and the obvious Western faces of the sergeant in the leader, and then asked his superiors for instructions and let them go into the city.

"What are they doing? Suddenly increasing their alert level?" Brack looked at the soldiers patrolling the city in confusion. The residents of Lashio were almost gone, and the streets seemed empty.

"It's not a Japanese army's sneak attack, right?" Brack's expression suddenly became nervous.

"Brack, Brack, the Japanese are still south of Mandalay. Rick's tone was very helpless: "Maybe a big shot is here.

"Big man? Could it be the queen? Or Churchill?" After hearing that it was not the Japanese army, Brack's expression obviously relaxed.

"Don't be self-righteous, it's not funny. Rick parked his car in front of the largest hotel in Lashio, leaped out of the car, moved his body, threw the key to the waiter, and then walked inside.

Webber also moved his body after getting off the car. He was moving while looking at the surroundings. There were many cars parked in the parking lot next to the hotel, and many soldiers were wandering around. He looked at Charles, and Charles nodded, saying that he had seen these situations.

When I walked into the hotel lobby, the situation was very clear. There were many middle-aged people resting and chatting on the sofa. Their military ranks were very high, and the lowest one was also a major general.

Weber found a few familiar figures in the crowd. He was a little surprised. He hesitated and walked over and greeted him from a distance: "General Lu Han, General Qian Dajun, Ms. Gong Xiuhua, I didn't expect to see you here.

Lu Han and the other two obviously did not expect to meet Weber here. They looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and Gong Xiuhua smiled and said, "Mr. Weber, your reporters are so smart. How do you know that we are here?

"In your Chinese language, this is called a little bit of aligning with Webber's heart, and Charles was very excited. It seems that Lashio is coming right.

"General Qian, is it the Chinese Air Force going to provide air protection for Myanmar?" Charles seized the opportunity and first pointed his finger at Qian Dajun.

"Isn't Myanmar a colony of the British? How could it be our turn to protect?" Qian Dajun's tone was full of mockery. The Chinese Air Force was not strong. Losses, supplements, supplements, losses. So far, there are only more than 300 aircraft, including more than 100 aircraft from the US Air Volunteer Team of the Aid China. However, Chiang Kai-shek brought him to Myanmar to discuss the issue of joint combat with the British. This time the British gave the green light, and there were whatever they wanted, except the aircraft.

But the British pulled the bow too much a while ago and offended all the Chinese generals. Now they take this opportunity to exclaim their anger. Charles smiled faintly and did not respond. Weber interrupted: "General Qian, as far as we know, the British Air Force no longer has the power to defend the sky in Myanmar, we can only rely on the Chinese Air Force.

Qian Dajun then shook his head bitterly: "We don't have the power to come to Myanmar. First of all, there are not enough airports in Myanmar. The British built the airports in southern Myanmar, and there are almost no field airports in northern Myanmar. Secondly, the domestic planes are also needed. The Japanese army's bombing in Chongqing has risen. After the winter, the Soviet-Russian battlefield has turned into a truce, and Japanese planes have turned to Chongqing again. Finally, Changsha and Guangzhou are facing serious threats to the Japanese army. Information shows that the Japanese army is planning to attack Guangzhou and Hong Kong. So our planes are far from meeting the needs." Weber and Charles did not continue to ask. They knew that the Chinese Air Force was weak and there was no reason not to carry out operations abroad. Charles turned to Gong Xiuhua: "When did General Zhuang arrive in Lashio? What was the war in Tonggu?"

"It seems that the reporter's eyes and ears are not complete, Linggong Xiuhua smiled and said, "The New 39th Division successfully broke through last night. No wounded was left behind. The entire division retreated to Pingmanna, but this division suffered a lot of losses. It is estimated that it will be withdrawn from the country for rest."

When Dai Anlan held on to the eleventh day of Tonggu, Zhuang Jihua finally issued a retreat order. After Dai Anlan received the order, Xiang began to retreat secretly that night. He did not launch any attack to cover the retreat. Everything was completed quietly. By dawn, Tonggu was already an empty city. With the support of the two New Forty-fourth Brigades, he retreated through Nanyang Station and assembled towards Pingmanna.

After the New 39th Division retreated, China and Japan issued war reports almost at the same time, claiming that they had won the victory. The war reports of the Expeditionary Force said that 23,000 Japanese troops were wiped out. 300 tanks were destroyed, and our army suffered more than 4,000 casualties.

The Japanese army claimed that it had killed 12,000 Chinese soldiers, killed 1,900 of them, and seized a large number of weapons and ammunition.

The real number Zhuang Jihua got was: about 6,000 Japanese troops were wiped out, and the New 39th Division suffered about 7,000 casualties, and basically a draw. However, the New 39th Division reduced its troops too much, and for the sake of subsequent combat, Zhuang Jihua ordered the New 39th Division to return to China for rest, but secretly told Dai Anlan to take the troops north of Lashio. The Sino-Myanmar border area near Barmachi rested and replenished new recruits from Yunnan.

The War with Gu is over, but whether the Battle of Mandalay is held, China, the United States and Britain have another game. The president of this game is Chiang Kai-shek, commander-in-chief of the Shenguo War Zone.
