my bright sword career

Chapter 677
November 11th Expeditionary Army First Route Army Headquarters

Today, there are many stars in the expeditionary force headquarters.

Generals present today include Luo Zhuoying, Commander of the First Route, Du Yuming, Deputy Commander and Commander of the Fifth Army, Gan Lichu, Commander of the Sixth Army, Li Zhipeng, Commander of the 6th Division, Sun Liren, Commander of the New 36th Division, and the 38th Army Army commander Zhang Zhen.

In addition, there were three American generals, Doolittle, Chennault, and Stilwell, all of whom looked like gold stars at a glance.

Today, Stilwell is wearing a set of ironed general officer's uniform, and his leather shoes are also polished black and shiny, and he said with a radiant face: "Everyone, today is the third day, but there is still no news from Chongqing. .

Time waits for no one, and the 200th Division trapped in Yangon can't afford to wait. It's time to make a decision.General Luo, General Du, do you agree with my proposal to change the command of the expeditionary force I proposed a few days ago?

If you do not agree, in the future, if the battle to open the Burma Road suffers setbacks due to the command of the two of you, the two of you will bear the responsibility. "

Good guy, this guy didn't even want his face in order to seize power, and now he even used intimidation methods.

Du Yuming was so angry that his face was red, and he was about to shoot the case, but was held back by Zhang Zhen, the commander of the 66th Army.

It's just that Zhang Zhen held Du Yuming, but forgot that there was another bigger thorn beside him.

Suddenly a major general stood up and said loudly: "General Stilwell, I know that you are holding supplies from the Allies to aid China, but the war of resistance is a matter for all the Allies, not just one country.

If you think that you can do whatever you want with the right to distribute aid materials to China and the air force, I can tell you that you are wrong. The Chinese Expeditionary Force can only be commanded by Chinese people, just like you will not agree with Chinese generals. The same as the command of the US military! "

The person who became angry was none other than Sun Liren, the commander of the new 38th Division.

What's more terrible is that this guy still speaks English, which also led to the fact that no one understood what he was talking about except for a very small number of people, only seeing Stilwell's old face flushed with anger.

Staring at Sun Liren with lightning-like eyes: "Mr. Major General, there is an old saying among Chinese people that eating the king's reward and being loyal to the king is a matter of loyalty to the king. Now the more than [-] expeditionary troops eat, wear, and use weapons and ammunition. Provided by us in the United States of America.

Even the aircraft in charge of air support is under the command of our American generals, and it is only natural for us to take over the command. Why do you still have to be stubborn? "

"This is not a dead duck's mouth, but a matter of principle." Sun Liren looked straight into Stilwell's sharp eyes without fear, "Although Huaxia's national strength is weak, it is also an indispensable member of the Allies.

I have never heard of it, just because you provide weapons and ammunition, you can take away the command of the allies by the way.If this is the case, may I ask the United States to provide so much war material to Britain and the Soviet Union, can you also ask Prime Minister Churchill and Mr. Stalin to command the British and Soviet troops? "

"you……"

Stilwell was at a loss for words, and asked Stalin and Churchill for the command of the British and Soviet troops?Even if he ate ten leopard guts, he wouldn't dare to do this.

Although my heart was about to explode with anger, I couldn't get angry. After all, Sun Liren's words were clear and logical.

When it comes to the strength of the aid, China's military aid is not even a fraction of that of the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. Why do you, Stilwell, ask for the command of the expeditionary force.

The two spoke English so quickly that, except for Chennault and Doolittle, none of the other expeditionary generals could understand it.

Just when the atmosphere in the headquarters was about to freeze, a voice sounded at the door.

"report!"

Accompanied by a loud voice, a staff officer appeared at the door, then trotted up to Luo Zhuoying and gave a military salute: "Commander Luo, Generalissimo Jiang is calling!"

"Is the chairman calling?"

The words of the staff officer can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and dozens of pairs of eyes were all looking at the staff officer.

"Hurry up!"

"Yes!"

"I have learned from the call that there is a dispute between the senior generals of the expeditionary force because of the issue of command. I am very anxious. The success or failure of the expeditionary force determines the strategic structure of Asia, and we must not fail because of internal strife.

Therefore, the Military Commission decided to appoint Major General Gao Hongming, the head of the militia regiment in Liantai County, Shanxi, as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force's flight, and to be fully responsible for the air support and transportation work of the expeditionary force.

Sincerely, the National Military Commission on November 31, [-]"

"what?"

As soon as the staff officer finished reading, there was an uproar in the headquarters.

For national army generals like Luo Zhuoying, even though they had never met him before, the name Gao Hongming had long been heard.

Whether it was the poisonous gas that nearly wiped out the [-]th and [-]th Divisions two years ago, or the sudden defeat of the Zhongtiaoshan Battle last year, or whether it was a few years ago. The great victory of recovering Taiyuan a few months ago was all led by him.

Although his reputation was specially suppressed because of the taboo of Chongqing's high-level officials, his name became more and more famous among the national army.

In the words of later generations, that is, although Brother is not in the Jianghu, there are legends of Brother circulating everywhere in the Jianghu.

Among other things, the huge fleet that Doolittle brought this time was sent by Gao Hongming.

After the shock, there was unbearable ecstasy. The hearts of the expeditionary generals such as Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming were like a mirror, and the eyes they looked at Stilwell naturally carried such a taste of gloating.

You, Stilwell, aren't you, you keep saying that the Flying Tigers and the air force led by Doolittle are under your command, and now that the boss is here, if you have the ability, show me in front of the boss?

Although none of the generals present had any dealings with Gao Hongming, but according to the gossip, Gao Hongming is a vengeful lord, and this is a good show.

Sun Liren stepped forward and asked the staff officer, "Commander Li, did the telegram say when General Gao will arrive?"

The staff officer shook his head: "Sir, it was not mentioned in this telegram."

"report!"

Another staff officer Xing hurried over: "A call from the airport. They just received a telegram. The other party claimed to be Gao Hongming, the head of the Shanxi Liantai militia. The plane he took arrived at Yangon Airport in about half an hour. The airport is ready."

"what?"

"That arrives so fast?"

No one present at the scene expected that Gao Hongming's movements would be so fast. As soon as the telegram from Chongqing arrived, he would soon arrive in Yangon on the back foot. Perhaps he set off immediately after receiving the telegram from Chongqing?
