My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 494 Stilwell Comes to the Door

"Hey... who said that the Japanese are starting to go downhill? Look, this sudden and ruthless... can the gang of officials in China still hold on?"

The news of the Henan-Xiang-Guangxi battle was also sent to Lashio. Seeing the horrific battle report, Meng couldn't help but close his eyes when he was so annoyed, but anger rose in his heart while ridiculing.

What a bunch of idiots, with a land of more than 20 square kilometers and a population of 6000 to [-] million, they were all lost in less than four months.

"Oh, Brother Meng, you still don't know about those people? A big bald guy who doesn't know how to command and likes to command blind chickens, and a group of scheming, infighting and expert sons, there are a few who can fight...he also There is no way to return to the sky alone."

Fan Shaozeng took a sip of tea and preached lightly.The situation within the National Party has always been the same. Most people are deliberately preserving their strength and watching the fire from the other side. As long as they don’t burn themselves, it doesn’t matter. If the whole country can really unite as one, the Japanese can win half of the country?Even if you can't beat it, you won't lose so badly.

Meng was annoyed and helpless. Seeing his country's territory being swallowed up by foreign enemies bit by bit, it would be hard for any bloody Chinese.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry too much. Although the Japanese have achieved their tactical goals, they have suffered huge losses and are unable to launch a new round of offensive. Compared with this, the elite and main forces of the Nationalist Party are still there, and they have to rush back. The troops stationed in India have not even gone to the battlefield, and the future situation is still unknown."

Fang Jingyao put down the document, smiled and comforted.

With his insight, he had already seen through the purpose of the Japanese army, and he also analyzed the results of this battle very thoroughly.

Japan also failed one after another in the Pacific battlefield. The sea line of communication was cut off, and the Japanese army in Nanyang was facing the dilemma of being cut off.

For this reason, Japan was desperate to fight, and formulated a plan to seek a breakthrough from the Chinese battlefield and attempt to hold on to the mainland in order to persist in a long-term war.

On the surface, it appears to be Japan's active offensive operations, but in essence it is for defensive purposes.

Although this battle achieved the goal of the Japanese army, the expected results were not satisfactory. All the forces of the Huaxia Dispatch Army were assembled, and troops were deployed from Japan and the Kwantung Army to strengthen the attack. However, the loss of the troops was still very huge. Don't think about launching any decent offense for a long time.

The Japanese army was already insufficient in strength. Although the mainland communication line was temporarily opened, the limited strength was further dispersed in order to guard such a long area, which put itself in an extremely disadvantageous position strategically.

Moreover, for the smooth progress of this battle, Japan had to deploy a large number of troops from the battlefield in North China and Central China, thereby reducing the pressure on the battlefield behind the enemy, but it laid the groundwork for the development and counterattack of the guerrillas behind the enemy in the north. Strengthen yourself more and more.

The inertia of time is so huge, no matter how much Liao Mingyu's butterfly flutters, it can't affect the specific direction of the general situation in the country.

"Haha, let's not talk about other things, this old Jiang is here to reward again, all of us brothers will have a share, right?" Fan Shaozeng grinned like a Maitreya Buddha.

"Well, the promotion of the promotion, the reward of the reward, eh... It seems that Junzuo doesn't have any real rewards?" Meng Fanlai suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively.

Because of the victory in the Battle of Mandalay this time, the bald head is not stingy, and the appointment of the official made a wish to give a lot of benefits. The 88th Army has almost been promoted from top to bottom, and there are a lot more military medals.

Due to the large number of enemies annihilated in the campaign, the impressive results achieved will surely be recorded in the annals of history. Fan Shaozeng was also promoted to the second-level general of the Kuomintang Party, instantly standing on the same level as Wei Lihuang and Xue Yue.

Originally, there was nothing to say. Who made him the nominal commander of the 88th Army, but what is strange is that almost everyone was rewarded, but Liao Mingyu, the real instigator, was left behind. The commendation documents were not insignificant, which also made all the soldiers fight for him.

"That's not true! I know what the bald man is thinking. He's playing a game of alienation, and he wants to take Brother Liao off."

Fan Shaozeng made it clear with a single sentence, and none of the people sitting here are mediocre, and they have guessed the meaning to some extent, so maybe everyone doesn't have to be so embarrassed to point it out directly.

"Would you like to remind Jun Zuo?" Meng Fan suggested.

"Jun Zuo is not a mediocre person. How could he not understand such a simple truth? I'll just wait until the troops are restrained. Don't worry about other things."

Fang Jingyao waved his hand to signal him not to talk nonsense. In fact, almost the entire 88th Army is Liao Mingyu's confidant and supporter. No matter what position he is in, he has absolute control over the army.

"Oh, I'm just trying to keep up the appearance. No matter how high the military rank is, his brother has the final say. Don't worry about it." Fan Shaozeng brushed off the folds of his clothes, and made a joke freely.

"How can it be, Commander, why don't you give us chills?" Meng Fan laughed with a hippie smile.

"Okay, didn't Brother Liao say that he wanted to transfer the headquarters to the Japanese fortress in the Heihe area? You have to hurry up. The convoy of the transport regiment is about to leave. I'll go ahead and go back and have a look. Hey, slow down, everyone. Take your time."

Fan Shaozeng patted his shiny forehead, and said that he was about to run away, he didn't want to worry about these headaches.

"Oh my Commander, you can't leave now, General Stilwell is coming soon, who will meet him after you leave?" Meng Fanyou hurried forward to dissuade him.

I just received the news, and I don't know why Stilwell came to visit suddenly, and he even asked to see Liao Mingyu by name. The key point is that the latter has gone to another place now, so he has to receive it... No matter what, let the leader go.

"You can go or not. What do you want me to do? Stare at that foreigner? I can't speak foreign languages."

Fan Shaozeng rolled his eyes, indicating that he was not interested, and before the other party finished speaking, he slipped out of the war room with oil on his feet, making Meng annoyed and chasing him.

At the same time, at the gate of the Lashio Military Headquarters...

"What? Why didn't anyone tell me your commander isn't here? Do you know how I got here!?"

Stilwell's expression was a little unkind, and he pointed at the guard's nose and growled in English.

Because there is no airport in Lashio, he had to fly from India to Nankan, and then changed cars non-stop to arrive in Lashio. After tossing for a long time, he found out that Liao Mingyu was not here at all when he got to the gate. I missed it.

The company commander on duty was very helpless. He waited for the interpreter to understand what he said before he hurriedly explained: "Sir, our army commander is indeed here, but the one you said you are looking for is our staff officer." , Chief...he is not our army commander..."

The American military officer on the opposite side asked nicely just now that he wanted to see Junzuo, but when he said he wasn't there, the old guy went into a rage on the spot, which really made people speechless.

"The commander is here, I found that person is not there, what are you talking about?"

Apparently, the level of this translation is a bit low, and the meaning is not clear. Stilwell is also not very clear about the internal composition of the 88th Army. This kind of dialogue gradually made him lose his patience: "Shit, just tell me where he is now." Where?"

"Right now he…"

"Hey, this is General Stilwell, right? Hello, uh...General, nice to meet you."

Meng Fanle, who rushed over, immediately went forward to say hello, with a warm smile on his mouth, but Stilwell frowned at his non-standard spoken language.

However, at least someone who could communicate normally came, and Stilwell didn't say much. He extended his hand and shook it politely, and asked, "Are you their chief?"

"yes, yes..."

"I have something very important to ask your commander, can you tell me where he is?"
