Chapter 145
"General Du!"

Just when Du Yuming was distracted, Stilwell took out a telegram from the document bag, shook it, and said, "This is a telegram from the principal. Because the expedition failed, he agreed to transfer you back to China to recuperate for a period of time!"

Du Yuming couldn't help being taken aback.

After the retreat, Stilwell, known as the sour vinegar knock, made a small report to the principal, suing him for disobedience to orders and directions.

Therefore, he already knew that such a day would come.

But there was nothing he could do. On the one hand, Luo Zhuoying was still there, and on the other hand, all the US aid materials were in Stilwell's hands.

The expeditionary force at this time means that whoever has the supplies has the initiative.

Therefore, as long as Stilwell got the supplies, the 5th Army could only stare blankly and drink the northwest wind.

Du Yuming asked unwillingly: "I want to know what you want to do next? Are you going to counterattack?"

"You guessed it right." Stilwell said: "I will rely on Myitkyina, first build a road from Ledo to Myitkyina, and lay an oil pipeline next to it, so that the cannons and tanks can quickly Move here."

Du Yuming felt that things were not that simple: "What else?"

"Establish a training base in Ramgarh to train your soldiers. I will apply to replace them with better American equipment."

Du Yuming said: "But I want to take them back to China, because our soldiers are needed in the domestic battlefield!"

Stilwell shook his head: "It's absolutely impossible! The battlefield here needs an expeditionary force! If you leave, the Japanese can enter India in one go!"

Du Yuming snorted coldly: "Without us, the people of Yingguo would not be able to fight, right? Wouldn't the Japanese take a detour to attack India? Don't forget, the 33rd Division of the Japanese army is advancing westward like a broken bamboo. Might go to attack Imphal!"

"Imphal?" Stilwell was a little puzzled: "Imphal is indeed very important, but...there is no danger there now, and the Yingguo people deployed three armies in that area, and the Japanese did not attack there. plan of."

"Maybe so, but now that we have occupied Myitkyina, the Japanese can only take a detour and attack Indu first, and then attack Myitkyina from behind!"

Du Yuming is well aware of the current situation. The Japanese army is blocked by the Nujiang River in the north, and they are blocked by them in Myitkyina. The only key to breaking the situation is the infant army in India.

Stilwell seemed to understand a little: "You mean..."

"General Shi has not forgotten the Burmese independent volunteer army!"

"Of course!" Stilwell replied, "But there are only 3000 of them left now, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to play any role in northern Burma."

Du Yuming said: "Similarly, India also has an anti-infant armed force."

"You mean the Japanese will attack Imphal with internal and external cooperation?" Stilwell shook his head unimaginably: "This is impossible! The infantry army has 15 people, and is equipped with a large number of aircraft, tanks and artillery. Not so stupid!"

"No, the Japanese will do this!" Du Yuming is so sure because the kid once talked to him about this wild plan. Without a better breakthrough, it seems that it is really possible to implement this plan full of loopholes.

It was still difficult for Stilwell to accept this idea, it was simply a wild imagination.

Du Yuming continued: "The Japanese army has very good reasons to attack Imphal! Because behind it is the Assam Railway. Once the Japanese army captures Imphal, Leido will become an isolated city with no danger to defend. It will also fall into the hands of the Japanese army."

"Oh!" Hearing this, Stilwell rested his chin with his hand, thinking thoughtfully, "In this way, the Japanese army can encircle Myitkyina from behind and deprive the expeditionary force of supplies from India!"

"Yes!" Du Yuming said firmly: "The Japanese need another way to attack us. This method is to avoid our expeditionary force and beat the Chinese!"

Stilwell was silent for a while: "I have to admit that the people of Yingguo are really bad. This will make people think that they are vulnerable, so the Japanese will pick up soft persimmons!"

Stilwell is worthy of being a China hand, and he also knows "soft persimmons".

After thinking about it, Du Yuming asked casually, "When is the plane?"

"There will be a transport plane flying to Kunming in two hours!" Stilwell continued: "So I suggest that it is best to prepare!"

"So fast?"

Although Du Yuming was mentally prepared, he was a little surprised to drive him away so hastily.

"There will be a time later!" Stilwell bid farewell, and then left with a blank expression.

Du Yuming sighed, thought for a while, and finally found Gao Fei.

"Army seat!" Gao Fei looked at Du Yuming's expression and asked, "What happened?"

Du Yuming didn't hide anything, and said, "This is a transfer order, and I'm leaving soon."

"Ah? So fast?" Gao Fei was taken aback. He guessed that Du Yuming might be transferred, but he didn't expect it to be so hasty.

Du Yuming had to leave for two reasons: one was that he was not as obedient as Luo Zhuoying.The other is that Du Yuming had a profound influence on the expeditionary force.

So as long as he is there, Stilwell will not be able to actually control this army for a day.

Du Yuming looked a little disheartened: "You have expected all of this."

Gao Fei said: "Mr. Zuo, don't be discouraged."

"The transfer order has come down, what else can I do?" Du Yuming really couldn't bear to leave, and couldn't bear to have those brothers who followed him behind him.

"Military seat, the battle situation in northern Burma has reached a stalemate. The Japanese army is busy mobilizing troops and horses, and will not be able to fight for a while. Although General Stilwell will attack in the opposite direction, he must first build roads and train soldiers. It will also take a long time. time to prepare."

When Du Yuming heard the words, his heart moved, and he asked, "You mean...?"

"Although General Stilwell obtained the command with supplies, even if all the officers of the 5th Army were replaced by people from the U.S., he still couldn't control this army. Because this is a Chinese army, the bones are broken and the tendons are connected! In any case, they are with us!"

Du Yuming said with emotion: "I really can't bear to leave!"

"At present, there is no major war in northern Myanmar. It is good to leave, just take this opportunity to straighten out your thoughts. This expedition, the principal should be very disappointed with the people of Yingguo and even the people of Meiguo, so the principal will not put all the eggs In the basket of the Allied Forces. It is enough for Myitkyina to keep the new 22nd Division and the new 38th Division. Find a way to transfer the 200th Division back to China. I guess the principal will agree."

Du Yuming's eyes gradually lit up: "You mean the principal still trusts me?"

"You are his best student, who do you believe if you don't believe me?"

Two hours later, with the sound of the brakes, Du Yuming slowly stepped out of the jeep in a neat military uniform, followed by an orderly carrying a bag.

Du Yuming put on his military cap solemnly, and when he raised his head, he was stunned. At some point, there were rows of officers and soldiers standing neatly on both sides of the airport.

When they saw Du Yuming get off the car, they just shouted loudly: "Salute!"

With a sound of "shua", the soldiers saluted Du Yuming almost at the same time.

Du Yuming slowly raised his hand, and returned a very heavy military salute.

He sighed and said: "Brothers, Guangting is incompetent and cannot continue to fight the enemy bravely with his brothers on the battlefield! But Guangting will wait for your good news in the country, waiting for you to fight back to northern Myanmar to regain the Burma Road , when the time comes, Guangting will set up wine in the country to welcome all the brothers back in triumph!"

"Army seat!"

"Army seat!"

The soldiers yelled loudly, with reluctance in their eyes.

Gao Fei, who was in the row, couldn't help sighing, Du Yuming is a general who knows how to fight, although he made the wrong decision to go to the Savage Mountain, he is much better than Luo Zhuoying and his like.

But he also knew that if Du Shi did not agree, there would be no place for him here, not even Du Yuming, most of the middle and senior officers in the expeditionary force would be dismissed by Stilwell for various reasons in the near future.

Stilwell naively thought that as long as the Huaxia military officers were replaced with mildewed military officers, the command of the expeditionary force could be controlled in his hands.

In fact, he was wrong. He would never be able to control the expeditionary force. This was due to different cultures, different regions, and different ideas.
