Chapter 404: Planning for the future war situation
Li Junhao said, "Then I will issue the order in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Allied Frontline. If the execution is not effective, military law will be required!"

"Understood!" Liao Yaoxiang immediately replied seriously.

Li Junhao's expression became solemn and he ordered: "I order the New 22nd Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to immediately set off and rush to the strategic node on the western front in Burma at the fastest speed to take full control of it and defend against the possibility of the Japanese army attacking Burma." attack in the northern region. In addition, during this process, we must strictly prevent deserters from appearing in the Allied ranks.

"Here, I give you the highest authority to intercept and stop deserters who disobey orders and evacuate the defense zone without permission; if the other party breaks through by force, all of them will be disarmed and taken into custody; if the other party resists with force, you are allowed to take all effective measures!!"

"Yes, resolutely complete the task!" Liao Yaoxiang was so relieved that his voice broke when he received the order.

"Wait a minute." Li Junhao stopped Liao Yaoxiang who turned around and was about to run out, and then said to Yu Shao: "Commander Yu, the New 22nd Division has a heavier task in going to Piaimai. The 17th Division of the British and Indian Army still has a certain combat effectiveness. We I would like to ask you to allocate troops from two regiments to support the new 22nd Division. After completing the mission, they will return the units. Let’s take a look..."

"No problem, Commander-in-Chief, I will resolutely implement the order." Yu Shao immediately responded loudly, "Sir, I understand what you mean. The new 22nd Division will defend Bimai, the 200th Division will defend Tonggu, and our 96th Division will support the two divisions respectively. The division has only one purpose, to resolutely defend the defense area and never allow deserters and Japanese troops to cross the border!"

Hearing this, Li Junhao nodded and said, "Thank you, General Yu, for your understanding."

Yu Shao said hurriedly: "What did General Pan Sen say? If you hadn't explained it, I wouldn't have known the inside story of the war in Burma. Now, you serve as the commander-in-chief of the front line, adjust the layout according to the battlefield situation, and stop the British army's retreat conspiracy. This is tantamount to I should thank you for saving the expeditionary force from fire and water!"

Dai Anlan, who was still a little uncomfortable with this young officer taking over the Allied frontline commander, suddenly woke up: Yes, if General Panson hadn't come forward, their expeditionary force would have been tricked by the British army, so It also expresses a firm attitude: resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the commander-in-chief!

Liao Yaoxiang was about to go back to the army to lead the team. Dai Anlan ordered the adjutant to dispatch the troops. Yu Shao also had to go back to the division headquarters to arrange for each unit to cooperate with the 22nd Division and the 200th Division respectively.

While Li Junhao was pleased, he also told the three generals that what is likely to happen next is: the new 22nd Division is in Pyay and the 200th Division is in Tonggu, blocking the northward retreat of the British-Indian 17th Division and the 36th Indian Infantry Division. route, the British army may have a strong rebound. At this time, the expeditionary force cannot soften and must knock down their arrogance. Otherwise, the future war situation in Myanmar will be completely decadent, and China will lose the Burma Road.

Therefore, all units of the expeditionary force must strictly guard the defense line, even if they disarm all the British troops and put them into prisoner-of-war camps!During this period, if anyone dares to resist with force, he must act decisively and not be soft-hearted, otherwise things will be even more difficult to deal with.

After Liao Yaoxiang and Yu Shao left, Xiaohu, who had been standing next to him and studying the map of Myanmar, suddenly said: "Brother Jun, even if we hold the line between Tonggu and Beiyai, Yangon has been lost, and the U.S. aid supplies to China have also been lost. If we can’t get lucky, what’s the point of doing this?”

Hearing this, Li Junhao was a little happy. Is Xiaohu going to learn strategy?
Dai Anlan was a little surprised when he heard this young Chinese officer call General Pan Sen "Brother Jun", so he took the initiative to answer: "Major, look at the left side of the map. The closest port from Pyai to the coastal Rakhine State is less than 100 meters away. Kilometers, the American transport ship can reach it as long as it deflects slightly. "In other words, as long as our expeditionary force controls the Pyay and Tonggu lines, and then extends to the west coast, and at the same time ensures the railway lines and highway lines in northern Myanmar, it will It can ensure that the Burma Highway can receive American military aid.This is of great significance. "

"Oh?" Hearing this, Xiaohu looked at the map carefully and nodded: "Thank you, Master Dai. I understand. It is indeed the case. That means that as long as the front line of Beimai and Tonggu is held, the Allied India-Burma Theater And the Chinese theater can get continuous military supplies..."

At this time, Li Junhao also explained, "This time the New 22nd Division went to Pyai to block the British 17th Indian Division, and the 200th Division blocked the 36th Indian Infantry Division in Tonggu, it was also for their equipment and military supplies! If the British If the army insists on retreating, then leave all these behind so that they can be supplemented by the Chinese Expeditionary Force."

At this point, he asked again: "Commander Dai, did I forget to tell Commander Liao before that we should pay attention to receiving the British army supply warehouse in Piaiya?"

"Don't worry, sir, Mr. Liao will never forget this." Dai Anlan smiled.

"Oh, that's good." Li Junhao breathed a sigh of relief.

Dai Anlan said: "Sir, I have also gone to arrange the troops. Don't worry, there are brothers from the 200th Division and the 96th Division. The 36th Indian Infantry Division cannot survive Tonggu." After that, he saluted and turned to leave.

At this time, his heart was also filled with excitement. Commander Pan Sen had planned all the prospects for the expeditionary force. If there is anything else to say, let's do it! ——
Everyone else left to get busy, but Li Junhao was free again. He sat back at the coffee table and continued drinking tea, thinking in his mind whether what he had done before was appropriate.
And when calculating the situation after the Chinese Expeditionary Force blocks the British army, how will the British-Burmese Army Command react?

How will the Expeditionary Force Commander's Department react?How will the Kuomintang government react?
How would Sir Wavell in India react?How will the British government react?
How will the U.S. government react?How will the entire Allied leadership react?

In the end, he felt that it was no big deal. With his current status, he definitely had this right. Needless to say, the United States would benefit from this, and there would be no problem; as for the British-Indian Army, the British-Burmese Army As for the military, he really doesn't take it seriously now. If they don't obey, he will teach them to be obedient!
The commander-in-chief of the British and Indian Army, General Wavell, did not have a good impression of such an extremely conservative and stubborn old-fashioned aristocrat. This time, he first "slapped him twice" and then looked for an opportunity to kill him. Kick out of the army!

Li Junhao hoped that his military adjustment would be successful and change the direction of the war in Myanmar. He would not only preserve the Chinese Expeditionary Force and enhance the overall combat effectiveness of the Allied Forces, but also deal a heavy blow to the Japanese army and stabilize the battlefield situation in the Far East as soon as possible. This would be beneficial to the development of the entire war. , are all matters of great significance!
