Chapter 1200 Congratulations
Dai Anlan was sticking to the time of the Gu Jiutian, and cooperated with the Liao Yaoxiang division and the Overseas Chinese Self-Defense Army to assist, successfully defeated the attack of a complete division of the Japanese.
Under the guidance of the Military Commission's intentional public opinion.
A craze of congratulations was triggered in the country.
Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Chinese army's first victory in transnational operations.
The poorly equipped 200th Division, with few enemy forces, fought a 3-to-1 loss ratio in the face of the integrated air-ground attack by the Japanese army.
In this difficult deadlock in the War of Resistance, it is like listening to thunder in silence.
Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Xi'an and newspapers are full of beautiful articles praising the Central Army's entry into Myanmar.
Some articles even stepped on the Sichuan Army.
Lamenting that after Liu Feng, there was no sharp Sichuan Army on the front line.
The angry Li Qingxia asked someone to air transport the newspaper to Lashio.
Liu Wenhui and Deng Xihou had already received telegrams from Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, Li Jiayu and Tang Shizun from Yongzhou.
Let them urge Zhou Xiaoshan to be more determined and show the momentum of the Taihu Battle.
Not to mention fighting for honor for the Sichuan Army, people cannot be beaten by the cracks in the door.
Not to mention that he has been greedy for Liu Xiang and Feng Tiankui's merits.
"Damn it, the Central Army is really heartless. If it weren't for the Sichuan Army's airplane raiding the Japanese plane, Xiaoshan suggested establishing the Overseas Chinese Self-Defense Army to set up the Japanese artillery position, could he Dai Anlan and Liao Yaoxiang become a hero? Can the Central Army win a great victory?"
Zhou Xiaoshan and Deng Xihou have become accustomed to this kind of thing.
Liu Wenhui is not used to it.
He took the telegram and cursed, and asked someone to send a telegram to Li Jiayu and Tang Shizun, and Yang Sen explained the situation in the war in Myanmar.
"Those who have thunder in their chest and faces like a flat lake can be called the general! Where can you read the books of Baoding Military Academy? The battle to Myanmar has just begun. Don't forget that defeating the Japanese is not a matter of one day or one night. Only when you laugh at the end can you laugh the most romantically!"
Deng Xihou glanced at his old classmate from Baoding Military Academy and proudly accepted the Sichuanese calling him "Liu Yaoda" and could not hold back at all.
"A lie is still a lie, Hu Lian said that Dai Anlan sent a telegram back to the country and entrusted the newspaper to explain the reversal of the Sichuan Army's airflight in the war, and was suppressed by the rear!"
"I'm a little lucky. When Liu Xiang mobilized the Sichuan army to go out to Sichuan to fight against the war, I was foolish and stayed in Sichuan. If I really followed the first batch of people to go out to Sichuan, even if I didn't die on the battlefield, I will now be like Li Jiayu, Wang Lingji, and Yang Sen, who will take my brothers to have a meal, starve, and stay in the war zone as cannon fodder!"
When Liu Wenhui heard Deng Xihou and Zhou Xiaoshan persuaded him, he also giggled.
"That's right, Xiaoshan is not angry. Why am I angry? People graduated from Lu University and gave ranks in neat ceremony. The graduation ceremony of the fifth session is very simple. They have not been awarded until now. Now in Mandalay, British people, Milijian people, and Jiang are all competing to award ranks to Linkson! It is said that one commander of the Self-Defense Army and two deputy commanders are both awarded major generals. Is their combat function comparable to Xiaoshan? Why is the difference between people so big?"
Is there any way? From the time I returned to Sichuan, none of Zhou Xiaoshan did to make someone happy.
I happened to go to Burma to fight, and some conditions were obtained.
Whether it is the conditions in Yongzhou or the negotiations in Chongqing, the members of the Military Commission were very angry.
At this time, do people still come to please you?
I'm still running to promote your military rank.
What are you thinking about?
But this is good, Zhou Xiaoshan got used to it.
Life experiences cannot be compared. Since the Battle of Taihu, many old subordinates made meritorious battles overnight, and their positions were higher than Zhou Xiaoshan.
Even the major general of the National Army after the name was changed, he was still holding a colonel.
Many people within the Sichuan Army were fighting for Zhou Xiaoshan. The soldiers who fought bloody battles made contributions and did not receive the promotion and rewards they deserved, and were extremely disappointed with the government.
Anyway, the morale of the Sichuan Army comes from fighting hard with the Japanese, defending their country, and gathering more points of cohesion.
As the saying goes, Sichuan people cannot say anything, they will come from whatever they say.
From a distance, I heard Hu Lian shouting outside the door.
"Xiaoshan, a great joy, treat you!"
"You often follow Xiaoshan to eat and drink at the Army Command, but it's not enough, so what else do you want to treat?"
"One code is one code. I am now a member of the 22nd Army. The command center has a delicious meal, and I have one! This time it is different. Xiaoshan has been promoted! The commissioner brought the military rank. He was originally going to give Xiaoshan a rank himself, but the military and government affairs are busy, so he could only stay in Mandalay for two days. He flew away with Minister Chen two hours ago and entrusted Chief of Staff to award Xiaoshan a rank on his behalf!"
He Guoguang was entrusted to award the rank of lieutenant general, so he must be a major general.
A major general of the National Army is not a lieutenant general, so what is there to be happy about?
Deng Xihou shook his head.
According to Zhou Xiaoshan's military achievements, it will be a matter of time before he can get the general star.
"I heard that Dai Anlan and Liao Yaoxiang may be able to teach the blue sky and the white sun. Has the Military Commission forgotten our Sichuan Army?"
"There is nothing, the first-class treasure tripod medal, both of them have already awarded medals in the morning, and have also awarded medals to Stilwell, Alexander and the Self-Defense Forces. Linkson also asked to receive the medals of the Self-Defense Forces Commander!"
The new 22nd Division clearly belongs to the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army.
There is a layer of affiliation in the middle.
According to news from Mandalay, Hu Lian is much more familiar than Deng Xihou and Liu Wenhui.
"In the same battle with Gu Defense, the 200th Division and the New 26th Division cooperated with the Sichuan Army to fly, and won the results of the Pingman Na Battle prepared by Du Yuming. The 55th Division said that with the support of the 56th Division, less than half of the system was withdrawn, and the Myanmar **** Army also suffered heavy casualties. What honor should Zhou Xiaoshan, who commanded and coordinated the Sichuan Army to fly, and what honor should Li Qingxia, who led the team to fight, be awarded?"
"Li Qingxia and Kong Fei, who participated in the war, both made military achievements. The principal instructed Chief He to give a separate award after writing the report!"
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, there were big and small battles, Niangziguan, Taihu Lake, and Shandong. Although there was no blue sky and white sun, there were several medals from the National Government, but he didn't care. He wanted to get medals from Yan'an, but unfortunately he had no hope of this identity now.
In the world of TV series, Deng Xihou participated in the Battle of Southern Shandong. He even passed the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and no longer cared about it.
The only thing I care about is Liu Wenhui.
Seeing what Hu Lian said, he was very upset that the Sichuan Army Kong Fei and the 22nd Army split.
"Teacher Hu, after the Japanese army occupied Yangon, they attacked along two railways. Did Alexander mobilize the expeditionary force to assist in the defense of Ren'anqiang?"
"Yes, he asked the principal to send at least one division to Ren'anqiang to assist in defense. Before the principal made a statement, Stilwell disagreed first. The two had a dispute. Later, with Stilwell's consent, the new 38th Division sent a regiment!"
Myanmar's terrain is high in the north and low in the south, and facing the Bay of Bengal in the south is a plain with a low altitude.
More suitable for building railways.
Starting from Yangon, two railways extend northward toward western Myanmar.
In addition to the route to Tonggu, Pingmanna and Mandalay.
There is also a railway in Yangon that leads to Ren'an-Kang.
Although there is no railway directly to Ren'anqiang in Mandalay, the highway is still relatively developed because the terrain of this area is relatively flat.
The Japanese army occupying Yangon divided into two groups, and the 55th Division pursued along the northeastern railway line.
There was also the 33rd Division along the south-eastern railway line.
Where in Ren'anqiang, there are strategic materials that the Japanese army dream of.
oil.
Ren'anqiang, meaning "Oil River" in Burmese, is one of the earliest regions in Asia to exploit oil.
Located in the southern part of the dry area of central Myanmar, on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River.
The altitude is about 120 meters. The climate is dry and hot, with the hottest monthly average temperature above 30℃.
After 1886, new technologies were used to exploit, and oil production continued to increase. It was famous for its high yields during World War II. Liu Xiang led an investment group to produce small oil wells in various parts of Sichuan. The combined output of small oil wells was not enough to carry his shoes.
The oil pipe directly connects to Shalian, the oil refining center in southeastern Yangon, with a total length of more than 400 kilometers.
With the existence of this oil field, Zhou Xiaoshan was not even worried that the Japanese would not move westward along Yangon, nor was he worried that he could not defeat the Japanese devils of the same ancient times and then retracted back to Yangon.
The victory of the two Gu Xiaosheng will cause the defeated Japanese army to attack even more crazily.
The existence of Ren'anqiang, the vulnerable British army, will also attract bloodthirsty sharks like blood.
"Captain Du has no idea about Ren'anqiang?"
The Japanese invaded Southeast Asia for a long time. They all considered it very clearly how to attack the first wave and how to reinforce after the attack was frustrated.
Whether it is from the perspective of feelings or the situation in Southeast Asia.
Zhou Xiaoshan hopes that the Central Army entering Myanmar can win.
This world is a little different from history. Because it is time to enter Myanmar with the Sichuan Army, the three Central Army Expeditionary Army were fully loaded near Mandalay.
There are only a few Japanese in Myanmar now, and it is not enough for the Sichuan Army to get stuck in the gaps. What's more, there are also elite troops of the Central Army in the Sichuan Army.
The devils can even be used to impatiently against Ren'anqiong, and they are bound to win the situation and achieve a big victory, which will attract the Japanese reserves, and even attract the Japanese troops from the entire Indochina Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula to Myanmar.
Hu Lian did not pay attention to every word Zhou Xiaoshan said.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Lian quickly grabbed the map on the table.
Deng Xihou and Liu Wenhui also put their heads on.
"Xiaoshan, do you mean that the Japanese are bound to win Ren'anqiang?"
Ren'anqiang is a large oil field with high yields of oil. The refining plants in Yangon have been occupied by the Japanese.
Now wait for the rice to be put into the pot.
"What a pity that our Sichuan army was late. We rushed to Ren'anqiang to set up an ambush, and the daylily was cold!"
"What's the best thing to fight in the Pingmanna Battle? The Japanese army's attack was not smooth. They withdrew from Tonggu. There were 200 divisions and the new 26th divisions nearby. The Japanese need at least one to two months to mobilize troops to reinforce the 55th Division and the 56th Division. I was so I was surprised and let the other 6th Army and 56th Army march urgently to the vicinity of Ren'anqiang!"
Hu Lianquan understood why Zhou Xiaoshan asked Alexander if he invited the Expeditionary Force to help defend Ren'anqiang.
Actually, it was time to go.
If Ren Anqiang starts the battle, the only obstacle will be the British, who are worried that the national army will lack combat power or will touch their core interests.
In the Battle of the Gust, the Central Army won the trust of the British, and this obstacle has disappeared.
Chapter completed!
