My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 333 The old acquaintance visits

Shojiro Iida leaned halfway on the chair, his thin face was covered with gloom, and the successive bad news made him feel extremely bad.

The conference table was surrounded by high-level military officers, but no one dared to speak at the moment. The commander was in a fit of anger. Who would want to touch this bad luck.

"Is there anything unusual in Indochina recently?" After a long while, Iida was the first to break the calm with a sullen face.

"According to intelligence, the Chinese troops stationed in India are approaching the India-Myanmar border with unknown intentions."

One of the officers replied bravely, carefully observing the commander's face while speaking, seeing that there was no sign of anger, he continued to add: "However, in view of the situation in western Yunnan, it is very likely that they will attack our army. Offensive, echoed left and right with the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force, threatening the entire northern Burma."

Iida snorted coldly, I really don't understand why these guys are still so optimistic, do they have to run over and shoot him to understand that they are going to attack?If he was the commander of the Indian Army, he would never let go of such a good opportunity to attack.

"Threat? It's a crisis now, Gannanjun! The offensive of the troops stationed in India will definitely start in these two days!"

"Hi eh..."

The godfather captain was sweating profusely, he shrank his head and hurriedly retreated.

"Order the 31st Division to intensify the defense of Xinbeyan, Dabanga and other places. As the gateway between northern Myanmar and India, this is the only place where the Indian army's offensive line must pass. It must not be sloppy!"

"Myitkyina must also do a good job in defense, and beware of the enemy's interludes. This time our 15th Army will face the biggest test. If the defense line collapses again and again, everyone here should think about how to apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

The hearts of the officers around were shocked. Don't look at the shriveled old man Shojiro Iida, who is skinny and has no power, but he is a ruthless person, and he definitely belongs to the kind of master who will do what he says.

At the beginning, he commanded 4 divisions of the Japanese army to attack Burma, successively defeated 2 British colonial divisions, and fought fiercely with the 10 Chinese Expeditionary Force commanded by Stilwell, Luo Zhuoying, and Du Yuming.

He used a front to contain the main force of the Chinese army, and sent a strengthened division to attack long distances to seize Lashio, the rear base of the expeditionary army, with the intention of annihilating the Chinese expeditionary army.

Du Yuming was forced to give up all his heavy weapons and forcibly returned to the country over the wilderness mountain. Only one third of the 10 expeditionary troops survived in the country.

It can be said that the reason why the expeditionary force entered Burma for the first time and returned home was that apart from the cheating behavior of the pig teammate and its own fault, the ruthless attack of this shriveled old man was also one of the reasons for the great defeat.

"Iida-kun, do you need any arrangements for Nankan? I am worried that they will turn north and attack Bhamo, threatening Myitkyina."

On the left hand, the chief of staff, Major General Tadao Kawashima, made an opinion.

"It's not impossible. Let the 33rd Division send a unit to help defend Bhamo, and the 53rd Division will return to the north as soon as possible. Alas...the army in hand is not enough."

Iida held his forehead and felt a headache. The group of Chinese who came from the west of Yunnan was already annoying enough, and the Indian direction was about to move. Facing several defensive directions, the strength of his own troops was already dwarfed by comparison.

"The 56th Division over there..."

"Watanabe is an excellent commander. He knows what to do. Now our priority is to defend northern Myanmar. You have to understand this...Kawashima."

These words were so blatant, Chief of Staff Kawashima had already guessed that the commander was going to abandon the 56th Division which was under heavy siege.

Thinking about it, the 18th divisions that were sent to support were all wiped out, how can they be left to their control in the current situation.

The most important thing is the Chinese army that broke into Burma. They were like inserting a poisoned bayonet into the middle of their own side, disrupting the entire deployment in northern Burma. It can be described as a ruthless move.

"To keep the direction of Indochina, we must find a way to destroy this lone Chinese army, otherwise the entire northern Burmese front army will be in trouble. Do you hear me clearly?"

"Hey, Waka Lima Xida!"

……

Outside the temporary headquarters in Mangshi, several jeeps and heavy trucks were parked outside the tent. More than 1000 elite soldiers in full armor stood quietly on both sides of the road. At the front of the convoy, there were actually two T26 tanks opening the way.

"Digging, is it necessary?"

Liao Mingyu strode out, looking at the battle in front of him, as if a black line had been drawn across his face.

Dong Dao quickly greeted him: "Seat, everything is ready, we can set off at any time."

"You did this?" Liao Mingyu was a little speechless. Didn't he just go to Wanding for inspection, and he didn't go to the front line to fight, as for?

"It was arranged by Staff Officer Fang before he left. He said that your safety is the most important thing for the whole division. You can't make any mistakes. You have to follow the guard battalion wherever you go." Dong Dao replied truthfully with a solemn expression.

Liao Mingyu shook his head, and asked helplessly, "The Falcon team has set off, didn't you go with Long Wenwen?"

"Zhang Liu and Yangdanzi can just go there, and the guard camp can't be empty."

Some of Falcon's team members happen to be the commanders of various units, like Long Wenwen, Yao Ma, and Dong Dao. They usually stay in their own units when they have no missions.

Zhang Liu is now the deputy battalion commander of the security battalion. He and Dong Dao are both skilled and skilled marksmen. They have also discussed that if they go on a mission, one of them must stay in the security battalion to protect Liao Mingyu's safety.

At this moment, a jeep with the Stars and Stripes suddenly came from behind, and the soldiers immediately stepped forward to stop it. This scene also attracted Liao Mingyu's attention.

Taking a closer look, there are still old acquaintances sitting in the car, but I don't know what this old fox is doing here now.

"Wait, please show your ID!"

"Oh, please, I'm from the Allied Strategy Department, and I need to see your supreme commander immediately."

The soldier looked at him suspiciously, completely unable to understand what he was talking about.

Smith was also helpless, pointing in the direction of Liao Mingyu and yelling, but the soldier was still unmoved, which made him anxious.

I left in a hurry and forgot to bring an interpreter. I didn’t care about the person who could speak English. Who knew I was turned away here.

"Okay, they are going to see the attendants, let them go." At this moment, Dong Dao who hurried over finally relieved them.

Smith said thank you, and regardless of the others, he ran towards Liao Mingyu impatiently in three steps at a time. It seemed that something was really urgent.

"Old Fox, it's been a long time. What evil wind brought you here?"

"Excuse me?" Smith looked confused.

Liao Mingyu laughed lightly, and then spoke to him in English: "Colonel Smith, you came at the right time, and I will go to the front line if it is later."

"Oh, dear commander, I have rushed here as fast as possible. In order not to waste time, I set off without even bringing an interpreter."

Smith wiped the sweat from his forehead, raised his eyebrows to express how difficult it was for him...
