After Stilwell and Alexander said goodbye, it was already late at night.

Zhou Xiaoshan and Deng Xihou originally wanted to go check the post, but Chu Tianshu, Liu Yuantang and Chen Li just came back from checking the post.

Several division commanders and brigade commanders stopped Zhou Xiaoshan and the others back.

"Today's night is very dark, and the guard posts are all in their own duties. The road here is not easy to walk. You should rest first. Let's see if the brothers sleep habits!"

Although it is only late March, the sultry season in Myanmar is no matter what season.

In addition to the guns and ammunition carried by the Sichuan Army on the march, they also carried a wrapped straw mat, a thin quilt, and a large waterproof straw hat that could cover half of their body.

Zhou Xiaoshan specially asked the textile factory to make a very small single mosquito net, wrapped it inside, and the soldiers felt it was a bit troublesome to carry it, but in this humid and hot Southeast Asia, this is a good thing.

The houses in Lashio were not enough for Sichuan troops to station, and the number of tents was very limited. Most soldiers could only camp in hills and mountains.

Fortunately, this is not rainy season, so it will be troublesome if it rains.

The War of Resistance is a long-term process, and as a general, we must prepare for the best of the future.

The next morning, when Zhou Xiaoshan got on the car and inspected the first pass of the Northwest Yunnan-Burma Highway, he ordered the 144th Division to log and build houses nearby and dig air defense tunnels.

At this moment, Hu Lian came over and asked Zhou Xiaoshan and Deng Xihou to return to the train station in Lashio, and Chen Cheng looked for them.

"Jin Kang, Xiao Shan, since the Sichuan Army is unwilling to participate in the frontal defense of the Battle of Mandalay, the Commission decided not to force the Sichuan Army, and he would personally deploy the battle in Mandalay. General Stilwell and General Alexander will follow me to Mandalay, and Chief of Staff He and Director Kang will also go. They will secretly inform you of the deployment of the Battle of Mandalay!"

Deng Xihou and Liu Wenhui remembered that Chen Cheng urged them to come to Lashio yesterday, and said that the committee meeting was coming.

Now the commission has secretly flew to Mandalay.

I don’t know if it’s because it’s out of sight or the warning to the Sichuan Army not to be rude.

"By the way, Xiaoshan, are Tan Wangsong and Zheng Chong here?"

He Guoguang did not see these two boys at the 22nd Army Command when he arrived in Lashio yesterday.

Today he wanted to take the two to meet the commissioner. He went all the way to Baoshan Airport to the command center. He felt that Zheng Chong had changed a lot, but he couldn't say it. Tan Wangsong couldn't figure it out. He wanted the commissioner to teach the two students himself and not follow the Sichuan army to destroy his future.

"Tan Wangsong took the staff to the southeast to see the terrain. Zheng Chong and we returned from the Yunnan-Burma Highway!"

After the July 7 Incident broke out, Zheng Chong fought several battles with the Sichuan Army and was extremely disappointed with someone he once admired.

The principal who originally asked someone to return Zhongzheng Jian to his.

He was stopped by Feng Tiankui.

In two years, Anhui led a small group of troops to fight against the Japanese army while thinking.

I also communicated a lot with Luo Jialie, of course I have been away for three days.

Chen Cheng left, took the Americans and the British, and went to Mandalay with him, including He Guoguang, the Chief of Staff of the Twenty-Second Army, and Kang Ze, the Director of Political Training.

They took the train from Lashio to Mandalay and took Zheng Chong away.

But Hu Lian was left behind.

Deng Xihou and Luo Wenhui looked at each other. Mr. Jiang was too stingy.

After all, he is the leader of a country, why is he so unconfident?

You have to hold all rights in your hands before you can feel at ease, but you can't do good things when you grasp them. If you want to fight the Japanese, you are afraid of excessive losses and lack courage.

In this regard, he is really not as good as Liu Xiang.

Liu Wenhui was about to complain, but Zhou Xiaoshan spoke.

"Team Commander Hu, why have he been abandoned by the Central Army!"

"Bad, I'm leaving Commander Hu to monitor you disobedient Sichuan Army!"

The train station sent a special train away, but the Central Army did not finish it. Zhou Xiaoshan teased Hu Lian beside him. Liu Wenhui instantly understood what Zhou Xiaoshan meant, and there was still a look and ear here, so he followed suit.

"Xiaoshan has a saying that I think is good. If you go abroad, Chinese people will not cheat Chinese people. The commander of the Sichuan Army should not treat me as a spy. I am a pure soldier and I am not vague in fighting Japanese devils. I have any task of killing mountains and fire. Even if I have all the military committee to help replenish the soldiers, Xiaoshan of the Ordnance will also help me find a way!"

As soon as He Guoguang and Kang Ze left, Hu Lian suddenly felt that he had been in a Sichuan general as if he had not been involved in something he shouldn't have.

Talking to these Sichuan warlords is just asking for trouble.

Thirty-six strategies, the best way to go.

"Xiaoshan, the new 26th Division is stationed in a lot of things. I will go and check the troops first and inform me in time if there is a task!"

Deng Xihou, Liu Wenhui, and Zhou Xiaoshan watched Hu Lian leave, and did not want to think about the bad things in Mandalay. They also wanted to take over the airport built by the British in Lashio.

As soon as he got on the car, Liu Wenhui gave Zhou Xiaoshan a question.

"Xiaoshan, tell us about the general situation of the Japanese troops in Myanmar, so that we have a clear idea and know how to cooperate with you!"

Liu Wenhui fought a lot of civil war.

But national wars are different from civil wars.

Can't afford to lose.

He has been looking at the map and knowing about Myanmar, but how he knows it is not as clear as Zhou Xiaoshan knows.

"In this way, I will call Huang Yin and Chen Li together and go to the airport with us. You will also call Liu Yuantang. We will walk on the car and talk!"

"I'll just go and inform them to go to the airport. Let's talk about it when we arrive at the airport!"

Except for Hu Lian's new 26th Division and Rao Guohua's 145th Division, almost all the first-level generals of the division and brigade level gathered at Lashio Airport.

At present, the Japanese army's attack on Myanmar has just begun, so Zhou Xiaoshan simply introduced the situation in the entire Nanyang.

The Southern Army was the theater assault corps established by the Japanese **** Group during the planning of the Pearl Harbor Incident. It is ranked alongside the Japanese Kwantung Army and the Chinese Expeditionary Force as the three main forces of the overseas Japanese army.

Long before the Pearl Harbor Incident, the old rival of the Sichuan Army, that is, Sōichi Terauchi, who served as commander of the North China Front Army after the July 7 Incident, was appointed as commander of the Southern Army by the Japanese Emperor.

Because they were responsible for the war in New Guinea and the South Pacific islands under Australian control, the command center of the Southern Army was set up in the Japanese army base camp, and they were not located in the Nanyang islands, but the commanders of several armies were responsible for each island.

Of course, the Japanese army is equivalent to the European and American army group.

Usually, they are under several divisions or even more than a dozen divisions.

Several armies fighting in Nanyang that had their own attack directions.

The 16th Division, the 48th Division, the 65th Brigade belonging to the 14th Army, and the Philippines.

The commander of the 14th Japanese Army was Honda Masaharu. Although MacArthur has not escaped to Australia yet, from the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident in December to the present, the Damilijian army stationed in the Philippines was beaten by the Japanese, leaving only groaning sounds, and there was no way to retreat.

The 2nd Division, 38th Division, and 56th Mixed Infantry Brigade, responsible for the operations of the Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia)

Historically, the battle of the Japanese attack on Indonesia was called the Battle of Java.

With the cooperation of the navy, Imamura, the commander of the 16th Army, attacked the Java Islands wildly. His opponent is also the current British commander in India and Myanmar (there are also translated as Wevel). Until now, he is still commanding the aircraft fleets of the Mid, British, Australian and Dutch coalition forces to fight bloody battles with the Japanese army based on the port.

What he never expected was that the Japanese army broke through behind him.

The one who led the 25th Army to break through the Singapore port behind him swept the Malay Peninsula was Fengwen, who survived the 66th Army's explosive formation at the Battle of Niangziguan.

He led the 25th Army Guard Division, the 5th Division, the 18th Division and the 56th Division, and was unstoppable in Malaysia. In just over two months, he swept across the Malay Peninsula.

He also sent the 18th Division to support the Myanmar battlefield.

The frontal opponent of the Expeditionary Force was the 15th Army of the Japanese Southern Army, and the original plan was to fight against Siam and Myanmar.

Thailand is not called Thailand at this time, it is called Siam.

As the only non-colonial independent country in Southeast Asia, like Italy, domestic forces are hard to tell the difference between them and the Japanese.

Before the Pearl Harbor incident, Siam, as a Japanese younger brother, established diplomatic relations with Manchuria and Wang Puppets. After the Pearl Harbor incident, declared war on the Mid-British Allied forces.

We welcome the Japanese army into Myanmar and want to borrow the hands of the Japanese army to get back part of the land in Laos, the southeastern peninsula that was taken from Britain and France.

They never thought of it.

The Japanese used the pretext of destroying Guo and attacking Myanmar by using the excuse of taking over Siam.

The commander of the 15th Army was Lieutenant General Yoshiji Iida once served as the chief of staff of the First Japanese Army of the Invasion of China. He once assisted the commanders of the First Army of Kiyotsuki Katsushi and Umezu Mijiro in Shanxi.

The Chief of Staff is Major General Haruki Isaiyama and has been serving in the Taiwan Army.

It turned out that part of the Guard Division, which was incorporated into the 15th Army, was stationed on the Malay Peninsula, and part of it seemed to be stationed on Siam, and did not enter Myanmar.

The 33rd Division, the 55th Division, and the 17th Division, which later strengthened the 16th Army, rushed straight to Myanmar. The Neville, the highest commander of the British army in India and Burma, was in Java, and was surrounded by the British army retreating into Myanmar, who retreated into Myanmar on the Malay Peninsula, fled in the wind.
