Chapter 141
Gao Fei took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one for Du Yuming, took a puff by himself, and continued, puffing out the smoke, "Junzuo, I advise you to fight a battle. Only in this way can we completely stop the devil's pursuit. Otherwise , Whether it is retreating to India or retreating into the mountains, the devils will continue to pursue them, and they will take a bite."

Du Yuming took a deep breath and sighed, "I didn't come in vain today."

Although he is now a general, there are very few people who talk to him, almost none.

Through chatting, he opened up his heart, allowing him to completely return to the time when he was full of heroism, and the momentum in his body returned.

Du Yuming's gaze gradually became firmer, and his back straightened even more: "Okay! Listen to you, then fight!"

"Trust me, military seat, our army will win this battle!" Gao Fei changed the subject: "Army seat, it is very important to inspire fighting spirit, and at the same time, supplies are equally important. Now our army is in short supply of food, ammunition, and medicine. I can't help you with these matters, but please don't worry about face, please ask Stilwell to airdrop a large amount of supplies to Myitkyina."

Du Yuming said: "Don't worry, I know which is more important. Although Stilwell and I have conflicts, it's just a conflict of opinion. In private, we are still very good."

Gao Fei nodded and snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand: "Military seat, there is one more thing. Although I believe that our army can hold on to Myitkyina, I still need to make plans to retreat at any time."

Du Yuming thought for a moment: "You mean that the enemy will increase their troops and insist on taking Myitkyina?"

"The enemy's ambitions are very large. I am afraid that their strategic layout is not only in northern Myanmar, but they have even set their sights on India. We also have to plan early."

Gao Fei can see this because he has some understanding of this period of history.

But Du Yuming didn't think so much because the things here are enough for him to think about. As for the future things, he didn't think so much at all. At this moment, it seems that the long-term vision determines the strategic layout.

"I know about this. After I go back, I will start to arrange it."

Du Yuming thought for a while, then suddenly asked: "Would you like to go to my military headquarters, I lack a combat staff officer."

This is an olive branch to Gao Fei.

Gao Fei shook his head: "Mr. Zuo, I'm just like you, I don't want to part with the brothers behind my butt."

"Okay, I got it." Du Yuming didn't force it, thinking in his heart that with such a talent, being a battalion commander was too much talent, and after the battle in Myitkyina was over, he had to be promoted to regimental commander first.

……

Indo Imphal.

"Joe! Indo welcomes you!"

Alexander poured a glass of red wine into Stilwell's wine glass, and continued: "I express regret for the war in northern Myanmar. This is not your fault, but because the expeditionary force did not obey your orders!"

Stilwell couldn't help snorting at these words: "It's the same with you, Your Excellency General!"

Alexander couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then he had to smile awkwardly, secretly thinking that this Stilwell was indeed as acerbic and mean as the rumors said, leaving no room for others.

After thinking for a while, Alexander made it clear: "Joe, since the defeat in northern Myanmar is irretrievable, and it is foreseeable that there will be no improvement in the near future, then the materials accumulated in India by the American side, you see? no……"

Stilwell said: "Your Excellency, I don't know what you mean. If you have something to say, please speak up. I don't like to beat around the bush."

Alexander had no choice but to be blunt: "Our infant army is preparing for a battle in Alamein and needs a batch of supplies. Can we put these supplies in Alamein first?"

Stilwell suddenly realized that he felt like a clown being fooled.

Only now did he understand that the Yingguo people had never intended to fight back the Japanese army in northern Burma from the very beginning, because only if they were lost there could the supplies stored in India fall into the hands of the Yingguo people.

At this time, Yingguo was blocked by the German army from the sea, and it was also in a state of shortage of supplies. Like the expeditionary force, they also needed this batch of spare supplies.

Stilwell wanted to say no, but soon found he couldn't.

The reason is that the defeat in northern Myanmar has reached an irretrievable point, and these materials cannot be put into use if they remain in India.

What's more, the victory of the Allies is also in the interests of the United States.

Another point, Stilwell felt, if he wanted to return to northern Burma and drive the Japanese out next time, he would have to rely on the help of the infantry army.

Therefore, he suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "I will report your suggestion to the president!"

"Very good!" After Alexander got the answer he wanted, he raised his glass and drank it down.

Stilwell returned to his temporary office sullenly, and asked the adjutant to make a brief report.

To his surprise, the answer he got was: "The Chinese Expeditionary Army is still guarding Myitkyina. Why did the supplies have to be diverted to Africa for thousands of miles?"

"What? The expeditionary force is in Myitkyina, why didn't I know?!"

Stilwell couldn't help being stunned, what's going on?Why didn't anyone tell him that the expeditionary force went to Myitkyina, but he, the chief of the general staff, didn't know anything.

He immediately confirmed it with Du Yuming, and the reply he got was that the 5th Army did not go into Savage Mountain, but changed its mind halfway, recaptured Myitkyina, which had been occupied by the Japanese army, and stationed there.

In Du Yuming's telegram, his tone was very pertinent, asking his allies to airdrop a batch of supplies to Myitkyina to support his 5th Army in combat, so as to prevent the Japanese attack.

Whether Myitkyina can be kept or not depends entirely on these supplies.

……

Stilwell quickly knocked on the door of Alexander's office and shouted: "General! I can't let you divert this batch of spare supplies to Africa!"

Alexander looked at him suspiciously: "Joe...how did you change your mind so quickly?"

Stilwell said loudly: "Because the expeditionary force is still holding on to Myitkyina, and is preparing to launch a decisive battle with the Japanese army!"

"what?"

Alexander's face was full of disbelief: "The expeditionary force is still holding on to Myitkyina? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Even if Myitkyina is recovered, it will only be a small force that does not make a difference."

"No, that's the Fifth Army!" Stilwell had already obtained Peanut's telegram: "There are more than [-] people in total, and they have built a solid line of defense in the Myitkyina area!"

Alexander opened his mouth wide and said after a while, "Joe, you can't joke about this kind of thing, you should verify the news accurately!"

"It can't be wrong!" Stilwell said with great certainty: "I've even contacted Chongqing to confirm this point!"

Alexander's complexion couldn't help but change again and again. At this time, he already believed in the reliability of this information.

At this time, Yingguo didn't know about it, because they had already broken up with the expeditionary army.

It is different in the country of mildew, which is now the main source of materials.

Alexander wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Stilwell: "Your Excellency, General!"

Stilwell pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose: "You should be clear that the Japanese's ambitions are not limited to Burma, and they may continue to attack India in the west. But if the support expeditionary force continues to defend Myitkyina, Then all of this will most likely not happen! What do you think, Your Excellency the General?"

After a long silence, Alexander nodded unwillingly, expressing his agreement with this statement.

Alexander knew that it was useless even if he objected, because these materials belonged to the people of the country.

What's more, using this batch of supplies to support Myitkyina can prevent the Japanese army from continuing to advance westward and attack their colony India, so it is also in the interests of their Yingguo people.

Originally, this batch of supplies was for the expeditionary army, but Yingguo's good deeds did not come true, and finally returned to the original owners.
