Hun Yisu Dannai shook his head, and then drafted a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek and handed it out... When the staff officer came back, he brought an emergency telegram. After seeing it, Xiao Yisu was a little nervous: "Commander, General Zhang Shu of the Sixty-Sixth Army called, the Japanese and Thai troops gathered on the Thai-Myanmar border secretly crossed the jungle of the Thai-Myanmar border. All the checkpoints set up by the Sixty-Sixth Army on the border were attacked."

What surprised Xiao Yisu was that when Zhuang Jihua heard about it, he breathed a long breath and stood up with excitement, and hit each other with both hands: "That's right." He walked two steps in the car, then turned around and picked up the coffee on the table and drank, then looked back at Xiao Yisu: "I have been thinking that I know that I have heavy troops in Lashi, but I only sent one division to detour Lashi. Isn't this for me to eat? This is unreasonable, and it is reasonable to have this division."

"Iida knows that Lashi has heavy troops? Xiao Yisu is a little confused. How did Iida know about Lashi's situation? Since she knows why she still takes the risk of going around Lashi?

"There are me in the enemy, and there are enemies in me; and, in addition, there are many people in the Deqin Party who tend toward the Japanese army, so we cannot hide it from these Burmese locals." Zhuang Jihua didn't care: "The reason why Iida insisted on detour is that on the one hand, it was blind confidence; on the other hand, this move itself is risky. How many troops in Lashio are risky, and once it succeeds, the benefits will be very great. But this time he made the wrong plan."

Zhuang Jihua's tone changed in vain: "Order Zhang Lun to find out the Japanese number and shrink the troops. Make sure Jing Dong and let the Japanese army come. What Iida didn't expect was that our troops in Lashio were not only 58th Army. The 103rd Army was hidden north of Lashio. If the 56th Division did not come, it would be aborted. If it came, it would be impossible to go back."

After receiving the telegram from Zhuang Jihua, the 58th Army had fully entered a high state. A curfew was imposed in the city, and soldiers were patrolling the streets and alleys. The division and Zhao Shi stationed outside the city were on guard. The division commanders Lu Danquan and Lu Daoyuan moved the command center to the position, and all the commanders of the entire army stayed in the command position at 24 o'clock. The soldiers were holding guns, eating, drinking, urinating, and sleeping, all on the position. The tense atmosphere of the war spread throughout the city.

The station is a key place to be on guard. Lu Han and Zhang Chong welcomed Zhuang Jihua at the station. After Zhuang Jihua got on the bus, he asked about the situation in Lashio and Lu Han reported.

"The martial law in the city was lifted." Zhuang Jihua thought about it and said: "This kind of atmosphere of a great enemy will make Iida alert. If he stops planning, all our preparations will be disappointed."

Lu Han was shocked and had to admit that he had ignored this issue. Zhuang Jihua asked again: "Are you ready for 10 and 3 Junqing?"

"Captain Sun has entered the hidden position and is ready for combat." Lu Han thought for a while and said, "The problem now is what if the Japanese army launches an attack? Should I reinforce or not?

"Don't move, Lashio cannot move, and attacking the 103rd Army will not get any benefits. In addition to cutting off our army's return, they also need to obtain Lashio's supplies. Otherwise, our army's counterattack will not be able to block it." Zhuang Jihua's consideration of the Battle of Lashio is fully mature: "What's more, the Renkang River Valley where the 103rd Army is stationed. The terrain is dangerous, and it is not good for attack. Sun Liren cannot defend it. He, Sun Liren, has fought for so many years in vain for battle.

Chiang Kai-shek himself was full of doubts about the British. After receiving a telegram from Zhuang Jihua, he came to He Yingqin and Bai Chongxi to discuss. Bai Chongxi agreed with Zhuang Jihua's analysis that as long as the expeditionary force maintains strong pressure in northern Myanmar, the Japanese army would not be able to advance westward to attack India, and Japan would not have such great power.

"How much strength can Japan have? China's battlefield, Soviet Russian battlefield, Pacific battlefield, Southeast Asian battlefield, their troops are long insufficient to support such a huge battlefield. Now occupying Myanmar is the limit of their strength. At the end of their strength, they cannot penetrate Lubai, and they cannot attack India. Stilwell was in the empty words and scared Bai Chongxi and spoke very affirmatively. His face was full of sneer: "I hope they will attack India and attack India, at least 500,000 troops will be needed. He can only draw troops from the Chinese battlefield, and the pressure for our counterattack will be very small.

He Yingqin also believed that Laxu was the most important thing to play. If Laxu was lost, the logistics of the expeditionary army would be cut off. The morale of the army would inevitably be in chaos, and hundreds of thousands of elite troops would be thrown into Myanmar.

But if the British army is not saved, it will be difficult to explain internationally, which will inevitably arouse anger from the allies. Chiang Kai-shek hesitated. Chen Cheng saw Chiang Kai-shek's hesitation and suggested: "Commissioner, I think Stilwell will go to find Zhuang Jihua, who is the commander-in-chief of the Expeditionary Force. Zhuang Jihua is his deputy."

He Yingqin's face changed and then returned to normal. Bai Chongxi opened his mouth and finally said nothing. Chiang Kai-shek nodded after thinking: "Okay, let's just do it, and send a telegram to Lin Wei, and in addition, let the Fifth Army head to western Yunnan immediately. Return to Kunming camp to direct command

The Fifth Army has been resting and training in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi. This is China's most well-equipped unit. Not to mention all American equipment, it also has a tank division. Three hundred and sixty tanks, including newly produced, blue tanks and self-propelled artillery, which are newly developed. Yu Daweiguo

Yi Xunshu's book is a different body clam

This unit is Chiang Kai-shek's heart. Chiang Kai-shek originally planned to use this unit as the main force for the counterattack, but now the situation in Myanmar is tense, and Chiang Kai-shek doesn't care about so much.

After receiving the telegram, Lin Wei couldn't help but sigh and said to his left and right: "Zhuang Wenge was young and energetic. He would have to suffer a lot in the future."

Stilwell stopped and stopped, so that Zhuang Jihua had already arrived in Lashio. He was still receiving a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek halfway. He was still amused and crying. If he wanted to command Zhuang Jihua, would he still have to generate electricity for you Chiang Kai-shek? But now Chiang Kai-shek kicked the ball back. What can he do? Alexander sent several telegrams for help a day, urging the rescuers. Alexander bluntly told him that if the rescuers could not arrive within three days, the British army would have to surrender.

The tradition of European and American troops is that when faced with desperate situations, soldiers can surrender to save their lives and will not be criticized in the future.

"Give Zhuang Jihua a command, let him draw the Honorary 10th Division to rescue the British army." Simmons suggested, Stilwell nodded bitterly, and a group of reporters were chatting nervously. Just like other European and American generals, there were many reporters among Shi Wei's entourage.

The news of Ren'an-Kang being surrounded had long been heard by reporters. British reporters anxiously asked the officers about the news and asked when they could send troops to rescue the siege. However, the news from the officers disappointed them. The Chinese were retreating to the country and refused to send troops to rescue the siege.

The news made British journalists very angry. Logan squeezed over the guards and ran to Shibawei to question: "General, Ren'anqiang is surrounded, what can the general do to save them."

"I have ordered General Zhuang Wenge to send the 10th Honorary Division to rescue Ren'anqiang." Stilwell said steadily, but there was a hint of helplessness on the corner of his mouth.

"When will reinforcements arrive? Logan is skeptical: "I heard that the squadron is retreating to the China-Myanmar border."

Stilwell hesitated, the soldiers' integrity slightly receded, and the diplomats' smoothness turned: "I have forwarded the order to General Zhuang. Allies must trust each other, and I believe he can handle it well."

After saying that, he turned around and got into the jeep and ordered to drive, leaving Logan in a daze. Several reporters surrounded him and asked him about the situation. Logan helped to tell them Stilwell's words, and almost everyone showed disbelief.

"The squadron has retreated to Lashio. Can Zhuang Zhen send reinforcements?"

“Stilwell isn’t lying, isn’t he?

"It is useless to discuss here. When you arrive at Lashi, everything will be clear. Let's go to Lashi.

"Logan interrupted everyone, and everyone got on their own cars in a mess and ran towards Lashio.

Zhuang Jihua didn't care about Shi Yaowei's telegram at all. He directly generated electricity to Alexander and told him that there were not many Japanese troops surrounding Ren'anqiang, and that the two British troops and the 17th Division could completely break through the Japanese encirclement.

This time he returned to Lashio, which was abnormal. He did not show up in public, but secretly settled in Huiliu Village outside the city. This manor was a villa of wealthy Chinese and Chinese businessmen in Myanmar. The manor was not big, and it was equivalent to a two-entry courtyard.

In order not to alarm the Japanese spies in Lashio and to stabilize Ji Feixiang, Zhuang Jihua asked Gong Chu to lead the headquarters to stay in Mandalay. At that time, it was announced that Chiang Kai-shek would hold a combat meeting in Lashio and deploy the Battle of Mandalay.

The battle of Tangji was coming to an end. The Japanese army failed to attack and changed to a strong attack. The New 28th Division resisted resolutely. The New 44th Division provided timely reinforcements. Seeing that the reinforcements of the squadron had arrived, Hosokawa led his troops into the jungle. He Wei did not chase him, but instead conquered the troops and stopped them from the New 28th Division and quickly gave up Tangji to retreat to Mandalay.

Tanaka Shinichi commanded the 18th Division and the 33rd Division to attack Pingmanna. Yu Chengwan gave up Pingmanna and retreated to Daxi. Yu Chengwan had a heavy burden on his shoulders, including three divisions of the New Eighth Army. Among them, Dai Anlan, the new 39th Division, suffered serious losses in the battle between the two Gu and the Gu, and had retreated to the Sino-Myanmar border for rest. Although Zhuang Jihua assigned the New 28th Division and the Lu Ruishan Brigade to his command, the combat effectiveness of the New 28th Division and the New 39th Division was incomparable, and Liu Bolong was even less than Dai Anlan. The only thing that comforted him was that the combat effectiveness of the Lu Ruishan Brigade was not low.

Zhuang Jihua's order to Yu Chengwan was that Shinichi Tanaka must be blocked south of Xibu.

Yu Chengwan knew that he had a burden on his shoulders. He arranged for the New Forty-sixth Division to block the attack along the way. Each brigade took turns to retreat after a day of fighting. He gave up Pingmanna and Darcy and retreated to Mandalay. Shinichi Tanaka was proud and divided the troops into three routes. He chased them along the railway.

Ji Feixiang in Mandalay felt that the situation was getting weirder and stranger, and there were many people in the headquarters. Her immediate boss, Gong Xiuhua, suddenly could not be found. Lin Yueying was inseparable from her these days, which made her feel very strange.
