Chapter 144
The 400 people led by Hachitaro Nakai just disappeared.

Mutaguchi Ren also used his binoculars to see the failure of the night attack plan with the help of the flares, and growled angrily: "A group of pigs! A group of idiots! What a bullshit plan, [-] warriors of the Empire of Japan were sacrificed for nothing!"

Such a large casualty must not be concealed.

Kawabe Shozo had already received a telegram of the failure of the 18th Division's attack at this time. Knowing that if the attack continued like this without thinking, the loss of the troops would be relatively large, so he ordered Ren Mutaguchi to stop the attack and organize defense on the spot.

After receiving Kawabe Shozo's order, Mutaguchi Ren also roared again: "Baga, this idiot Kawabe, if you don't continue to attack, after the enemy gets the US aid supplies, their strength will increase greatly, and then they will attack you." Myitkyina is impossible!"

He was right.

In fact, even if there is a continuous attack now, the new 22nd division has already received ammunition supplies and food collected by the advance battalion.

The soldiers of the new 22nd Division are fighting high at this time, and relying on the favorable terrain of the mountain, it can be said that the weather, location, and harmony are all on our army's side.

Under the strong order of Kawabe Shozo, Mutaguchi Ren also had to give up his plan to continue to attack Myitkyina.

……

When Dai Anlan arrived at the advance battalion's position, the battle was over.

Gao Fei went up to greet him: "Master, why are you here?"

"Fortunately, you were allowed to guard this narrow river bank. You are also clever, and saw through the devil's night attack plan."

A Yi saluted and said: "Master, our camp was found through the frog. Only when the frog didn't cry, did we know that the little devil came ashore."

Dai Anlan had investigated Ah Yi and knew that she had been in the Officers Training Corps and was a major, so she was willing to start as a platoon leader.

In his heart, he felt that this was a very pragmatic young man, and said, "You are Lin Yi, right? You have performed well recently, keep working hard!"

"Yes!"

Being praised by the teacher, Ah Yi's face was full of joy.

At this time, Dai Anlan already knew that the advance battalion was going to use ropes to transport supplies, and said: "Mr. Liao called me just now and asked if the kid discovered me when I was transporting supplies. I said it was just a night attack, so he was relieved. It's not too late, hurry up and send the supplies to him."

"Yes!"

Gao Fei waved his hand, first let Milong use a raft to pull a rope to the other side.

With the cooperation of Liao Yaoxiang's new 22nd Division, boxes of ammunition slid on the cable to the opposite bank.

In the end, he used a basket to slide a correspondent over.

Bu Lai was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth, and Mi Long also wanted to sit on it to enjoy himself, but because the return cable hadn't been built yet, he couldn't come back, so he had to give up.

"Damn it, this kid is really a talent!"

While talking on the phone with Du Yuming, Liao Yaoxiang sighed: "I don't know how this kid's head grows. In the eyes of others, it is a very difficult thing. In his hands, hey! Guess what? The cable is done!"

Du Yuming was obviously relieved when he heard that the advance battalion had transported the supplies to the other side. He always felt that the kid had a way before, but he didn't expect this way to be so simple.

"That kid is smart. With this batch of supplies, brother Jianchu can last for a while longer."

Liao Yaoxiang immediately expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, Master, as long as I am here, the position will be there!"

"Well, I believe you." Du Yuming hummed, he believed in Liao Yaoxiang's ability very much, but this only solved the urgent need, his main force also needed supplies.

"Army seat!"

The adjutant came over with a telegram in his hand and said: "I just received a telegram from Chongqing. General Stilwell and Commander Luo will fly to Myitkyina at [-] o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Let us be ready to meet them." !"

Du Yuming couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard the words. The old man Shi and Fatty Luo left them and fled alone. Now that the expeditionary force has established a firm foothold in Myitkyina, they are going to come here again to dictate and command.

But after thinking about it, Stilwell was here to deliver supplies, and he stretched out his hand not to hit the gift giver, so he said: "Send the order, clear the airport, and get ready to pick up the plane!"

……

the next day.

Although the rain stopped, the sun did not come out, but a thick fog formed.

Because of the delay in capturing Myitkyina, Ren Mutaguchi was also upset. Standing in the division headquarters, he looked at a large map hanging on the wall.

If the enemy's 5th Army was crucified in Myitkyina, then this would be a big knife hanging over the head of the Japanese army in northern Myanmar.

However, Kawabe Masamune had ordered not to continue the attack, waiting for the 33rd Division to join his 18th Division.

Hebian Zhengsan's plan is to continue to attack westward with the strength of their two divisions.Attack the Nu River with the 55th and 56th divisions, trying to fight across the river.

However, neither path is smooth.

The Nu River was a natural barrier, and when a unit led by Takeuchi Lianshan attacked Nantianmen, it was blocked.

Now, the enemy's 5th Army has gained a firm foothold in Myitkyina, and the situation is very unfavorable to the Japanese army.

At this time, Kawabe Masamune came suddenly.

"General, why are you here?" Ren Mutaguchi was also surprised by the unannounced arrival of the river.

Kawabe Shozo looked at Mutaguchi Renya's big bald head and said, "The situation is like this, can I not come? At present, the aircraft carrier fleet of the country is participating in the battle, and the battle at sea is also very difficult."

Since they attacked Pearl Harbor and had a taste of the sweetness, which led to the participation of the United States in the war, their Japanese army began to decline.

Ren Mutaguchi didn't think the Empire of Japan would lose either, so he said viciously: "General, just now I suddenly thought of a big plan!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a certain place on the map.

Kawabe Masamune looked over with his fingers: "Imphal?"

The more Ren Mutaguchi thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible: Myitkyina is surrounded by the natural danger of the Irrawaddy River, and there are high mountains on both sides to guard it, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.Why don't we change the direction of attack. "

Masazo Kawabe was attracted by this plan: "Please continue talking."

"Why don't we mobilize our forces to attack Imphal in India, which is defended by 15 infantry troops. According to their combat power, they don't need much. Only three divisions with [-] troops are needed, and I can take the whole of India. !"

These words made the bulls fly, it can be said that the sky is full of hype.

But Hebian Zhengsan believed it, because according to the cowardly fighting style of the Yingjun, it was enough for the three divisions to occupy the entire Yindu.

Ren Mutaguchi also became more and more excited as he talked: "At that time, we will attack Myitkyina from the direction of India, forming a front and rear attack, and the enemy will collapse in an instant!"

The plan is very good. After listening to it, Masazo Kawabe nodded and said, "Yukishi! Mr. Mutaguchi, your idea is very good. I will report it to the base camp in detail."

"Thank you, General, for your support!" Ren Mutaguchi was also very excited. If this plan was approved by the headquarters and implemented successfully, he would definitely become a legend.

He Bianzhengsan said: "I didn't think of a good name, let's call this plan—the Wuhao Project."

"Hi!"

Ren Mutianguchi couldn't wait any longer, and immediately drew up a preliminary plan and reported it to Tojo Yingji in the base camp.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a transport plane landed at the airport in Myitkyina under the cover of more than a dozen infantry fighter planes.

Although Stilwell was a bit old, he looked very capable. He was dressed in a military uniform that was almost indistinguishable from other soldiers, and he was still carrying things in his hands, making him look like a general at all.

"General Stilwell!" Du Yuming warmly greeted him and shook hands with Stilwell, with a smug smile on his face.

"General Du!" At this time, Stilwell seemed to have forgotten their previous disagreement, and shook hands and said, "You fought very well in Myitkyina. I underestimated the strength of the Fifth Army!"

Seeing Stilwell's calm and confident appearance, Du Yuming faintly felt that something was wrong.

According to the current situation, the 18th Division of the Japanese Army will not be able to capture Myitkyina for a while.

The arrival of Stilwell made him faintly feel that there would definitely be problems with the command, because Stilwell used supplies as the biggest reliance and wanted to completely control the expeditionary force.

However, Stilwell didn't have a single soldier in his hands. Originally, he wanted to fight back to Burma, which can be said to be more difficult than reaching the sky.

But at present, there is a unit in Myitkyina blocking the pursuit of the Japanese army. Stilwell feels that this is an opportunity, or a rare counterattack opportunity.

He who has always had no military power is sensitively aware that this army is likely to become his soldier.
