Age of Rebirth

The first thousand and ninety-two chapters finally came

Japan dispatched troops from Southeast Asia, from Burma and southern Thailand, marched aggressively northward, leaving the remnants of Shouyi’s remnants in the Temple of Yeren Mountain with more than [-] people, and occupied Myitkyina, the only passage for the British army to retreat to India. The British dared not fight if they wanted to. With no way out, Mandalay became a dumpling stuffed under the attack of two Japanese troops, which could be eaten by opening one's mouth.

General Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British Army, ordered and threatened Tang Qiuli many times to send troops to Burma without success. Mandalay had already smelled the blood on the Japanese soldiers' bayonets. The situation was extremely critical. Alexander thought that Having vaguely guessed Tang Qiuli's true thoughts, the delegation of the three countries signed the alliance treaty as soon as they met, but those who were responsible for sending troops were excluded from the core command.

In anyone's heart, it will not be comfortable, and there will be a sense of resentment, especially the rebellious Tang Qiuli, who should pay more attention to face. Excluding them was a bit rough and thoughtless. After all, Tang Qiuli now had enough troops for the British army in Mandalay to escape from danger.

No, Tang Qiuli kept silent, played temper without saying a word, and stood still. Not to mention, Alexander didn't have any tricks at all, and went to the house in a hurry. The key is that the Japanese didn't give him time, and he was mostly in Mandalay. If you stay for a day, you will be in danger of being encircled by the Japanese army. No matter how stupid Alexander is, he can see the danger. [

After discussing with Chief of Staff Francis all night, Alexander decided to go to Tengchong in person to meet Tang Qiuli in the name of holding a military meeting on the war against Japan in the Indochina Peninsula. At this time, fate is more important than face, and Chief of Staff Francis gave some advice Son, I'm afraid it's not enough for us alone. Besides, we had a very unpleasant quarrel with the Chinese before.

Therefore, the Americans and the Chongqing Nationalist Government must be involved in this matter. Only in this way will it have weight, and it will also form a form of pressure on Tang Qiuli. Although Alexander does not like Francis very much, these words let Alexander Mosai suddenly realized, and was very moved. He was still his compatriots. At the critical moment, he was sincerely thinking about the interests of the British Empire.

The matter could not be delayed any longer. In the early morning of the next day, Alexander took a few entourages, leaving Chief of Staff Francis to preside over the overall situation, took a transport plane, flew directly to Kunming, and then prepared to change to a car. He rushed to Tengchong to meet Tang Qiuli, the true god. In order to prevent Tang Qiuli from leaving with excuses, he didn't even notify in advance, and there was a sudden attack, which made it too late for Tang Qiuli to hide.

Not long after Alexander's plane landed, the plane of Stilwell, an American who served as the chief of staff of the Chinese theater, also landed at Kunming Airport. After a while, a plane painted with the blue sky and white sun emblem also landed. The minister, Chen Cheng, the deputy chief of staff of the Allied China Theater, as the representative of the commander-in-chief Jiang Zhongzheng, walked out of the cabin with a serious face.

Several bigwigs from the Chinese theater got together for the first time, and they couldn't help exchanging polite greetings. Both Chen Cheng and Stilwell knew what Alexander was up to, and they knew that such a good place as Kunming Instead of convening a military meeting, they had to go to a remote place like Tengchong to gather with Tang Qiuli. It was because Tang Qiuli's soldiers could relieve the danger of the British. The British were shrewd enough.

Alexander didn't want to delay in Kunming for a minute. I dare say that you Americans don't have hundreds of thousands of troops and are in danger of being encircled by the Japanese. Chairman Jiang didn't have a single soldier in Burma. The only one who was anxious was himself. Under his urging, Several well-known bigwigs rushed to Tengchong without even having time to eat a meal in Kunming.

Alexander thought he had played a small trick, and brought a few heavyweight generals, full of sincerity, and rushed towards him. Tang Qiuli this time, what excuses do he have? As long as the Chinese send troops to Burma, Alexander is even going to take this Zhang's old face was desperate, but he forgot that Kunming is now under the control of the Independent Division. As soon as the three planes landed, Shen Jun's investigation office agents sent the information to Shen Jun.

After listening to Shen Jun's report, Tang Qiuli smiled meaningfully, and said to Chang Feng and Shen Jun, "Alexander finally couldn't sit still, and he even dragged Stilwell and Chen Cheng along. Arriving in the United States, Chang Feng, yesterday and today, has the information about the Japanese army's northward march arrived?"

Chang Feng took out a few telegrams from the folder, and said, "Master, according to the information submitted by the Intelligence Office, the 70th Division, the vanguard of the Japanese Southeast Asian Expedition to Burma, has arrived at a distance from Mandalay. Dewangchong, 350 kilometers to the south, the No.[-] Eighth Division, the leading Japanese army in the direction of Thailand, has arrived at Chawana, [-] kilometers southeast of Mandalay. It is expected that two Japanese leading troops will meet Pushing in south and southeast of Mandalay."

Tang Qiuli thought for a while and asked, "That's all? Is there no other information?" Chang Feng replied: "Master, yes, the two leading divisions of the Japanese army are equipped with a large number of tanks and armored vehicles, each about A tank brigade, as well as the Japanese air force, started bombing Mandalay on a large scale at [-]:[-] this morning. According to intelligence, the British air defense measures are quite poor and the losses are relatively large.”

Tang Qiuli asked again: "What is the situation in the direction of Shouyi in the temple in Myitkyina?" Chang Feng replied: "The Shouyi Department in the temple has more than 120 troops. A large number of fortifications, from Myitkyina to Satya, and then to the Hukang Valley, have arranged three blockade lines with a depth of about [-] kilometers. It can be seen that the Japanese are determined to wipe out the British in the Indochina Peninsula. In northern Burma, Shouichi’s actions in Terauchi are suspected to be a sign of blocking the retreat of the British army to India.”

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Okay, within two days, the Japanese will be able to exchange fire with the British and Burmese troops on the outskirts of Myitkyina. Five days later, the main force of the Japanese Southeast Asian Army will arrive, and they will be able to gather several One hundred thousand British and Burmese troops encircle Myitkyina. First let the British and Japanese fight a few times, and let each other calm down. Changfeng, Alexander came to Tengchong, you are responsible for the whole reception, you do it like this... .”

After hearing Tang Qiuli's words, Chang Feng and Shen Jun were taken aback for a moment, and then laughed wildly. Chang Feng said with a smile: "Master, this move is too ruthless, right? If the British can't stop the Japanese army's siege, Wouldn't it be the end of the entire army being wiped out?" Shen Jun didn't say anything, his eyes were on Tang Qiuli and Wei Changfeng's body, turning back and forth, apparently pondering the real intention of the teacher.

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Changfeng is suitable for the time and situation. Whether it is the British or the Japanese, it is beneficial for us to fight each other. If the British are completely wiped out, it is just right that the Japanese will be defeated." Cleared up the influence of the British in the Indochina Peninsula for us, the foxes and the wolves fought, and it was cheap, we bystanders, even if we rescued the British in the end, we would let the Japanese beat the British half to death. If you don’t have the money to return to the Indochina Peninsula, you must seize this opportunity!”

When Alexander, Stilwell, and Chen Cheng's convoy drove into Tengchong in a dusty and swaying manner, it caused a little confusion. Obviously, there was no mental preparation for so many cars suddenly appearing in Tengchong. Alexander was proud of it. Glancing at Stilwell, the troops patrolling the street immediately stopped the convoy.

After careful investigation, under the leadership of a second lieutenant platoon leader, he drove straight to Tang Qiuli's headquarters. Chang Feng heard the chaotic footsteps outside and knew that all the big fairies had arrived. He headed into the house The staff members gave a wink, and everyone quickly pretended to be very busy, but Chang Feng himself dragged the Chief of Staff Yang Ketian to hide in another room, observing the movement outside through the glass.

In the command post, the busy and tense atmosphere seemed like a front-line command post, but the performance of those officers made several high-ranking generals lose their temper. More than a dozen people came in. The four guards kept their eyes straight, their faces were like iron plates, there were more than 20 officers in the room, the highest rank was just a little major, and no one looked up at them. pile of air.

The imagined etiquette of saluting "Hello, sir" did not appear at all. Alexander, Stilwell and Chen Cheng were left at the door. This kind of stare was more unbearable than indifference. Chen Cheng's face I can't hold back anymore, so I said that I am also the head of the Military Command Department of the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government. The Chief of Staff of the Nanjing Camp, which exists in name only and has not been revoked, was recently promoted to the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Allied China Theater.

On the face of it, Chen Cheng is also the official boss of the Independent Division. Although he knows that in the Independent Division, he may not even listen to a cook, but when it comes to Americans and British, a few generals shine General, he just poked at the door like a prong, and no one paid any attention to it. It was a matter of the dignity of the government. Chen Cheng didn't say anything. According to his understanding, offending foreigners would not do any good. What's more, it was Generalissimo Jiang who wanted something from the United States. When people are in a hurry. [

When Chen Cheng thought of this, the fire in his heart rose up, but he yelled: "Stand at attention!" , looking at Chen Cheng like a monster.

Chen Chengyou then shouted: "General Alexander, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied China Theater, and General Stilwell, the chief of staff, are here!" Chen Cheng reported the names and official titles of the two big men. He was needed to do it, but there was no way. The officers of the Central Army who followed him arrived at the site of the Independent Division, and they were as short as half, unable to stand on the stage.

As the deputy chief of the general staff, Chen Cheng had no choice but to go into battle in person, temporarily playing the role of master of ceremonies, and finally someone spoke, it was the major with the highest rank, but what he said made Chen Cheng feel so angry.
