Chapter 578 The leader of the special war came to ask for advice

The reason why General Wingate had a separate talk with Zhang Junhao focused on the idea of ​​airborne the Special Melee Team in Ukruel in the future was that General Wingate was full of confidence in the British 2nd Division, the 7th Division, and the Chindi Army, thinking that after these teams participated in the war, they would inevitably easily eliminate the first column of the Japanese army in a very short period of time or force them to retreat.

Thinking about it, the first Japanese column of the army has suffered heavy damage, and its troops have been destroyed by more than 8,000 troops. How can it have such a strong combat power? Even if the first Japanese column of the army has reinforcements, all signs show that the total number of Japanese reinforcements will definitely not exceed 5,000. Moreover, when the Japanese reinforcements attacked the Fortress Mountain, they were hit by Zhang Junhao's melee team on the head, and more than 1,000 were eliminated in one attack. At that time, Zhang Junhao was beaten so hard that he did not dare to attack again.

The British troops gathered in Kohima have reached 30,000, with planes bombing in the sky and heavy artillery and tanks attacking on the ground. The troops and firepower have crushed the Japanese army. It may be a bit difficult to destroy the first column of the Japanese army, but it will not be difficult to force the Japanese army to retreat, right?

However, after a week of battle, the news that the various departments summed up at General Wingate's office made General Wingate's heart feel cold.

First of all, the defending teams in Fortress Mountain had more than 500 casualties every day. In one week, more than 3,500 casualties were killed or killed. At the beginning, more than 500 casualties a day were found, and General Wingate did not pay attention to it. After a week, the data was summarized, General Wingate was shocked. What's wrong, if you continue to fight this trend, don't you be consumed?

Not only did the defending team make General Wingate feel cold, but even if the 2nd Division was the main force to attack the Japanese army, all the summed up were unfavorable news.

It rained four days this week, and the ground was very wet and muddy, which really increased the difficulty for the attacking troops. The Air Force could only bomb three times a day, and the attack on the Japanese army also decreased. The Japanese army occupied the mountains and established solid fortifications, but it would not have lost more than 5,000 troops during the attack on the Japanese army, right?

General Wingate was upset! He was entrusted by General Slim to Kohimalay to preside over a period of time work. He originally thought it was a chance to create meritorious deeds, but he didn't expect the result to be like this.

General Wingate is the pioneer of special operations behind enemy lines in the West. When encountering difficulties, the first thing that comes to mind is naturally the special operations behind enemy lines. In his opinion, Zhang Junhao is the only person in the world who is qualified to talk about special operations behind enemy lines on an equal footing with him. Moreover, General Wingate admires Zhang Junhao from the bottom of his heart. He secretly compared his special operations behind enemy lines with Zhang Junhao, thinking that he was slightly inferior to Zhang Junhao.

Because Zhang Junhao only led less than 1,000 troops, he wiped out nearly 80,000 Japanese troops in Zhejiang, China. Of course, when destroying the Japanese army, Zhang Junhao's melee team also coordinated other teams to fight with the Japanese army. The melee team was only the main force. The credit cannot be all due to Zhang Junhao and the melee team led by him. However, Zhang Junhao created a precedent for destroying a whole division of the Japanese army in Zhejiang. Although the battle process was very difficult, the result was so dazzling.

After Zhang Junhao led the special melee team to airborne Kumenling, he fought many fairy battles. The first battle was to eliminate two Japanese infantry brigades. What kind of combat effectiveness was this? Then he eliminated the Japanese Myitkyna cavalry brigade, eliminated two Japanese armored brigades in the Daro Valley, successfully rescued Mai Detachment and British paratroopers, and killed Major General Seo of the Japanese army. Zhang Junhao fought too many victories, and General Wingate could not list them one by one, but he still knew some of the main victories. General Wingate thought that the reason why Stilwell could recover the Daro Valley and the entire Hukang Valley before the rainy season came was mainly due to Zhang Junhao.

General Wingate was also very impressed by Zhang Junhao's surprise attack on the Western Myitkyina airport. Not only did he wipe out the Japanese army at the airport, but he also ambushed and wiped out the 56th Japanese army's search corps.

How many Japanese generals were killed by Zhang Junhao? Are there ten? Isoda Saburo was a lieutenant general, Seo was a major general, and who else? General Wingate couldn't think of it. But he firmly believed that there would be no less than five Japanese generals killed by Zhang Junhao.

Regarding Zhang Junhao's record in northern Myanmar, Wingate could only know through General Stilwell's notice that Zhang Junhao still had many great achievements. General Stilwell may not have reported it. Zhang Junhao's record since he was airborne Kohima General Wingate learned through General Slim. He eliminated the Japanese army and snatched grain bases in the first world. He ambushed hundreds of Japanese grain robberies in World War II. He attacked the Japanese material bases in three worlds. He destroyed the Japanese artillery positions in four worlds, destroyed all the Japanese artillery ammunition and food. At the same time, he also eliminated the Japanese army's vitality and strength. The most important thing is that this attack and occupied the fortress mountain played a main role in rescuing Kohima and eliminating the Japanese army.

The key to the reason Kohima was able to defend the Japanese attack was that the special melee team was brave in combat. Gary Matsuyama suffered such a powerful offensive from the Japanese army and was able to always control it.

Heroes cherish each other, heroes respect heroes, and heroes want to talk to heroes.

That morning, General Wingate brought red wine and coffee, and drove to the special melee team headquarters in the heavy rain. He wanted to have coffee, red wine and have a good chat with Zhang Junhao.

General Wingate is a general, with such a high rank, and it is extremely rare to be able to treat subordinates so politely.

From this point, we can also see that General Wingate is very unique, not care about the details, and has no official airs. Treating his subordinates is like treating his own brothers. Although General Wingate did not openly communicate with Zhang Junhao, he had been intimate with his gods for a long time and had long regarded Zhang Junhao as his own brother, so he condescends to visit Zhang Junhao in the rain.

Zhang Junhao has been staying in the team headquarters this week.

Zhang Junhao didn't have to worry about the replenishment of the special melee team, and the replenishment was completed in three days. The dead team members have been buried, and Zhang Junhao led all the team members to attend the funeral.

No one would inform Zhang Junhao of the frontline war, and Zhang Junhao was too lazy to inquire. The special melee team had many things that he needed to make decisions. He was very busy. After handling the work, Zhang Junhao would stay in the second floor reception room to rest.

During the war, Zhang Junhao was like a lion, and was very quiet when he was resting. Zhang Junhao did not have any entertainment. There were a large number of British and Americans among the officers and soldiers of the special melee team. They could play poker and read a lot of beautiful magazines printed on them. Zhang Junhao would only stay in the reception room to drink tea.

Even without outsiders, Zhang Junhao still sat very well.

General Wingate came in the rain, and Zhang Junhao was deeply surprised. When Sakurako Yumiya reported that General Wingate had come to visit, she immediately stood up and walked downstairs quickly.

When Zhang Junhao came downstairs, General Wingate had already entered the combat command room. All officers from the team stood upright and saluted General Wingate.

After General Wingate returned the salute, he asked loudly: "Where is General Zhang?"

Zhang Junhao replied loudly as he went downstairs: "General, I'm here."

General Wingate raised the red wine and coffee in his hand, laughed and said, "Don't come down, let's drink coffee first, then drink red wine."

It was impossible for Zhang Junhao to not come down, so Zhang Junhao continued to go downstairs. At this time, General Wingate had already arrived at the entrance of the stairs.

Zhang Junhao stood attentively and gave a standard gift.

General Wingate returns the salute.

Zhang Junhao made a delayed request and said loudly: "General, please!"

General Wingate smiled and said, "Please."

Zhang Junhao led General Wingate upstairs. After arriving at the reception room, he asked General Wingate to sit down on the three-person sofa. Zhang Junhao asked Sakurako Yumiya to take the coffee and red wine and make coffee immediately.

Colonel Zhang Boliang, Colonel Brandon, Colonel Luo Zhong and Lieutenant Colonel Zachary stood beside him.

General Wingate said to them: "You guys go and do your business, I want to chat with General Zhang alone."

Zhang Boliang and others stood attentively and saluted, then retreated.

After Zhang Boliang left, General Wingate looked at Zhang Junhao's eyes, stopped his smile, and sighed and asked, "Do you know the war on the front line?"

Zhang Junhao said: "No one informed me that our department has been busy replenishing soldiers and burying the dead soldiers these days."

General Wingate sighed heavily and said, "I'll tell you about the situation, alas! The situation is extremely unfavorable to our army. The fortress mountain defenders have suffered about 500 casualties every day. If this casualty rate continues, there will be no soldiers in the fortress mountain to participate in the war in less than a few days."

Zhang Junhao was shocked and said, "No way? Why are the casualties so serious?"

General Wingate waved his hand and said, "Not only did the military situation in the fortress mountain make me feel cold, but the main force's attack on the Japanese army occupying the ridge also made me feel cold."

Zhang Junhao frowned and asked in a low voice: "What the hell is going on?"

General Wingate said: "A part of the Japanese army maintained a high-intensity attack on the Fortress Mountain. The main force was actually entrenched on a 6-kilometer-long jungle-covered high mountain ridge outside the city, guarding the deeply built castle position. This is a fortress in the forest. The green cliffs on both sides were covered with dense layers of trees and weeds, and ordinary teams could not climb. In the past, the officers and soldiers of the British 2nd and 7th Divisions were stationed in the Middle East and the mainland of India for most of the time, and they were not used to fighting in the jungle. General Slim had not many reserve troops at this time, so he had to send them.
