Chapter 1199 Column
It was embarrassing, and the battle reports on the front line were successively spread to the Mandalay Allied Forces Command.
This battle was really not fought by the Sichuan Army.
The First Column of the Nanyang Chinese Self-Defense Army took advantage of the 55th Division's fierce attack on Tonggu, and the two sides were in a stalemate, attacked the four artillery positions and baggage camps of the 55th Division, seized a large number of Japanese infantry flex artillery, Type 92 infantry artillery, and most importantly, there were seventeen intact Type 96 150 field artillery and 130 intact cars, all of which were pulled away by the Self-Defense Army.
The other party's division commander even sent only one regiment commander to Liao Yaoxiang. Dai Anlan expressed his gratitude, thanking both sides for joining hands to attack the Japanese army.
Then he ran away.
It seemed as if they were not here to assist in the war, but to rob, and they would stop after this vote.
Stilwell, who first reacted, immediately asked He Guoguang.
"What kind of organization is the first column?"
He Guo's bald head is big,
Historically, the column number originated from the Eastern Expedition. In September 1925, the Second Eastern Expedition of the National Revolutionary Army had three columns, the first column consisting of 4 divisions, the second column consisting of 1 division and 1 brigade, and the third column consisting of the attacking Hubei army, Gan army, Chaomei army, Henan army and other units.
Du Teniang's old calendar before the Northern Expedition.
Where does the Ministry of Military Affairs have any column organization?
However, there is no place for the 18th Group Army. From the Red Army to the Eighth Route Army, the organization is very casual, with a battalion, a regiment, a brigade, and a division all taking columns as their numbers.
Could it be that this Self-Defense Army was created by Yan'an, Chen Jiageng, and Hu Wenhu?
Surely so.
The dog-dreaming Zhou Xiaoshan must have predicted that the Japanese army invaded Nanyang, and the nervous overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia discussed with Yan'an again and cooperated with these two capitalists.
Chen Cheng's face was also ugly. In order to prevent the Communist Party from infiltrating the Expeditionary Force, the Military Commission asked Dai Li to pass the information of each soldier of the Central Army, and Kang Ze also held the information of all the soldiers of the Sichuan Army.
They came to Nanyang.
A staff officer around Stilwell secretly introduced the origin of this number to Stilwell in the Republic of China, and Stilwell did not care about the common and limited co-subjects.
The Eighteenth Army is also an Allied Army.
"Hello, help me contact Zhou. I need the contact information of the First Column of the Nanyang Chinese. They must enter the battle sequence of the Allied forces! Accept the unified command of the Allied forces!"
After listening to the translation and expression of what Stilwell said in the text, Alexander also started to yell in English.
"Yes, let Zhou hand over the contact information of the Chinese Self-Defense Forces. Myanmar is a colony of the British Empire. The subjects on this land should be loyal to the British royal family and be under the command of the British army! This victory is the common result of our British Myanmar and the Central Army of the National Government!"
Not to mention that He Guoguang is a little stupid, Chen Cheng and Du Yuming are a little numb.
Have these two people taken the wrong medicine?
They are Chinese Self-Defense Forces and Chinese overseas Chinese. According to reason, they should be under the leadership of the Military Commission.
But if you report to the attendant's room, you will definitely be scolded.
Dai Anlan also sent a telegram to request whether he could accept patriotic overseas Chinese in the same ancient times and set up a supplementary group.
Just as the few people were a little confused about how to report to the servant room, it was difficult to discuss in front of Stilwell and Alexander.
The telegram is here.
The principal has taken off from Chongqing and is expected to arrive in Mandalay in the evening. Please ask the Expeditionary Force to provide air defense warnings.
Chen Cheng handed Du Yuming the telegram marked with the top secret.
"You're relieved now. The Japanese 55th Division lost more than half of its losses, and the remnants retreated to Yangon. There is no need to organize the Pingmanna Battle for the time being."
"But, how can you explain to the commissioner about the Self-Defense Force? Look at these two people are competing for the command of the Self-Defense Force!"
After reading the telegram, Du Yuming handed it to Kang Ze and He Guoguang.
"Don't scare yourself. The number of a column cannot explain the problem. Zhou Xiaoshan has the contact information of the Self-Defense Army. What if it was sent by the Sichuan Army here? Besides, the Communist Party is also the Mi. The British dike is vigilant. It is not to jointly deal with the Germans and Japanese. They will never join forces with the Soviet Union!"
"Yes, let's ask what's going on first. If Zhou Xiaoshan has contact with the Communist Party, he must investigate it clearly. If he is as pro-communist as Guo Xunqi, he will immediately drive him back to the country!"
A few people whispered wherever they didn't realize it at all, and there was a Communist Party member standing beside them.
Zheng Chong pricked up his ears and said, "Don't say goodbye."
These people are too nervous.
The leaders tried every means to protect the 66th Army. How could the Self-Defense Army expose the 18th Army because of a small battle and a little result?
Even Luo Liang changed his name and was named Luo Xuming by the Yan'an leader.
The primary task in Nanyang is to assist the Chinese in fighting against Japan and help overseas Chinese not be bullied by the Japanese army, British, and local people.
Stop the political propositions of propaganda organizations.
Not to mention exposing the connection between the 18th Army and the Nanyang Self-Defense Forces and the Sichuan Army's 66th Army.
The reason why it is called a column is that it hopes to fight independently as a guerrilla behind enemy lines when dealing with the Allies.
As the liaison officer of the Self-Defense Forces, Linkson, an overseas Chinese in Myanmar, was in Lashio. They assisted the Sichuan Army in raising logistics supplies.
"By the way, Xiao Zheng, do you know the origin of this Myanmar Self-Defense Force?"
Zheng Chong was still distracted, but suddenly Kang Ze asked a question.
"I just wanted to say it, but I don't know how to organize the language. It was only after I went from Anhui to Baoshan that I knew about this person, Linkson! I was not sure whether they had any connection with the 18th Army."
"Have you heard of the Nanyang Self-Defense Force?"
"Yes, the deputy commander of their first column is Lin Kexun. He was assigned by Mr. Hu Wenhu to the Yunnan-Burma Highway to assist the Sichuan Army and the Central Army in transporting materials! He also served as a liaison with the Sichuan Army and the Central Army. He had visited Commander Du and was turned away!"
Now Du Yuming was embarrassed.
After going back to China from the Nanyang Sea, the Fifth Army was organized to enter Myanmar, and he was as busy as a top.
He didn't know when he would refuse to visit.
It may even be a good thing done by your subordinates.
"Myanmar overseas Chinese spared no effort to support the War of Resistance. Linkson provided 500 tons of rice to the Sichuan army. It is said that after Zhou Xiaoshan learned that there were his supplies on the cargo yard, he coaxed him and brought him to Lashio. The other supplies from Baoshan were taken together!"
"As the damn Zhou Xiaoshan, he must have been greedy for the supplies given to us by overseas Chinese!"
Du Yuming looked dark and said nothing, and the officer beside him cursed.
"Not necessarily, Linksun and Hu Wenhu have been to Sichuan. Only very few of the materials they donated were donated directly to the National Government, and the rest were all given to the Sichuan Army. I suspect that what Zhou Xiaoshan received was the Self-Defense Army leaving a way out, and was worried that he could not defeat the Japanese and kept the reserves in Baoshan!"
Zheng Chong was fooling him real and fake, and several senior generals nodded frequently.
"I suggest that I send a telegram to notify Commander Deng and ask Linkson to come to Mandalay to ask, and you will know what the situation is in the Self-Defense Forces!"
Whether it was Chen Cheng or Du Yuming, his eyes lit up.
The commissioner was coming to Mandalay, and he couldn't take off Lashio. It was difficult for the boy Zhou Xiaoshan to pry out confidential things from his mouth.
It just happened to be possible to get Linkson to Mandalay.
The situation of the Self-Defense Forces is clear, and the commissioner has explained wherever he has.
As for whom the Nanyang Self-Defense Forces will be led and commanded, let Stilwell and Alexander fight for it themselves.
Chapter completed!
