Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

What Zhu Maozhen said was the truth. The first battle the expeditionary army fought was Tonggu, but when the Tonggu was fought, the artillery regiment was still behind, and when the artillery regiment came up, the troops had already begun to retreat.At this time, the Chinese soldiers' affection for artillery was at its extreme. After suffering too many shells from little devils and watching too many brothers die tragically in the fire of devils, they finally had 24 150mm heavy howitzers. Hope to avenge the dead brother, let the little devil also taste the taste of being bombed, who knows that this cannon will blow up all these hard-won treasures, what will happen to these passionate soldiers I can stand it.

Perhaps it was the words "escape, shame" that irritated everyone. As soon as Zhu Maozhen's voice fell, several battalion commanders knelt down in front of Du Yuming, begging Du Yuming to let them stay and fight with the Japanese army. Fight to the death.

This scene made several generals unable to stand up. Dai Anlan, Sun Liren, Yu Shao, Liao Yaoxiang, Peng Bisheng and other division commanders all stood up, and everyone was indignant and asked for a fight.

Not far away, Stilwell folded his hands in front of his chest, with a contemptuous smile on his mouth, he shook his head unconsciously, feeling a lot of emotion, Chinese people are never lacking in blood, it is the high-level officials who only care about conflicts of interests and blindly command Their bloodiness becomes meaningless.

"What are you doing, do you all want to disobey orders?" Du Yuming roared wildly.

Sun Liren pursed his lips and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't listen to such an order. Of the 38 people in my new 1th Division, [-] have already been lost on the Tonggu battlefield. I don't want to lose the remaining [-] people. Savage Mountain is going to feed poisonous insects and beasts, and let them die meaninglessly, so I decided to obey General Stilwell's order and withdraw the troops to India."

"Sun Liren, I have no objection that you want to be the watchdog of the British, you fucking get out of here immediately!" Du Yuming pointed at Sun Liren and cursed.

Although he is the commander-in-chief, Du Yuming really has nothing to do with the new 38th Division's on-the-spot disobedience. Obviously, Sun Liren must have received an order from the boss behind him, otherwise, he might not dare to make this decision.

Just as Sun Liren turned around, Du Yuming ordered the messenger to deliver the order immediately, igniting the explosives to blow up and burn all the heavy weapons and supplies that could not be taken away. He didn't want to delay for too long and cause any trouble.

At this critical moment, a staff officer hastily shouted "Urgent Telegram from the Military Commission" all the way, which attracted the attention of all the generals.

"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, the Military Commission calls urgently!" the staff officer ran up to Du Yuming and said out of breath.

"Read it!" Du Yuming calmly said.

The staff officer glanced at Du Yuming with a strange expression, opened the folder slowly, and read aloud: "Du Yuming is hereby relieved of his post as commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force and commander of the fifth army, and immediately transfers to India to return to China to report on his duties. Haoran is the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force, and Luo Zhuoying, the deputy commander-in-chief, also serves as the commander of the Fifth Army. This order, the Military Commission, was issued on March 30, [-]."

As soon as the staff officer's voice fell, there was an uproar at the scene, there were surprises and sighs, only Du Yuming suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and stood there dumbfounded. The news was so sudden that he couldn't accept it. The battlefield changed. General, this is a great shame for a soldier. With Du Yuming's status in the eyes of the chairman, he never thought that this scene would happen to him, and it was so real.

No one noticed that when the order was read out from the mouth of the staff officer, Stilwell waved his fist in the air, and his face was even more smug. Jiang Haoran was successfully appointed as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. His achievements, although he has never met Jiang Haoran, but he still has some understanding of his achievements.

Perhaps no one will know that Anna, who is far away in the United States, has to respectfully call him uncle when she sees him, because he and old Morgan have been old friends for many years, and he went to visit him just before he came to Myanmar. Old Morgan, as for Jiang Haoran's in-depth understanding, he heard it all from Anna, which is far more authentic and credible than hearsay.Therefore, he has always been full of curiosity about Jiang Haoran, and in his heart he has always expected that Jiang Haoran will become the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force. At this moment, "the plot has succeeded", of course he cannot help being a little excited.

Before everyone recovered from the shock of the first telegram, the staff took out another telegram and read aloud: "Commander Jiang ordered that all divisions of the expeditionary force, relying on the Hukang River Valley, start their operations on the spot. Defense, he will parachute into Burma tomorrow!"

Bangkok, Japanese Southern Army Headquarters.

The Japanese Southern Army is a strategic battle corps directly under the Army Base Camp in Tokyo.At the same level, there are the Kwantung Army, the Chinese Expeditionary Army, and the First General Army and Second General Army stationed in Japan.

Mainly fought in Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other Anglo-Dutch Far East colonies) and the Pacific region (Philippines, Central and South Pacific islands and other American colonies, and Australia-controlled New Guinea, Solomon Islands and other South Pacific islands ).

Historically, the Japanese army initially deployed only three armies and ten divisions with a total strength of about 30 troops in the Pacific and Southeast Asia battlefields, but now it has increased to four armies, plus the troops directly under the headquarters, a total of fifteen divisions , The force has exceeded 50.Among them, seven divisions in the Pacific battlefield were fighting for islands with the US military, two divisions were stationed in French Indochina, Siam and other occupied areas, and the other six divisions were all devoted to the Burmese battlefield.

In addition, 9 tank regiments were assembled for the first time in the southern army. The Japanese tank force has always been weak. There are only [-] tank regiments in the Japanese army. Enough money!

In terms of commanders, Terauchi Shouichi, Tsukada Ko, Yamashita Fufumi, and Imamura Hiroshi were assembled. These have always been valiant generals relied on by the Japanese base camp. Since the war of aggression against China, they have accumulated rich experience in commanding large corps operations.Moreover, there is one more person that has to be mentioned, and that is Hayao Tada.This often-defeated general who fought against Jiang Haoran many times and almost fell into Jiang Haoran's hands, was also incorporated into the Southern Army this time. Tada Jun probably never dreamed that he would really become attached to Jiang Haoran in his life , Nowhere can escape the fate of fighting him, and what makes him even more unexpected is that the battlefield in Burma is when his nightmare begins.

In the headquarters, Terauchi Shouichi, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, was sitting at the head, and the Chief of Staff of the Southern Army Satoshi Tsukada was sitting next to him.

The situation in Myanmar was completely under the control of the imperial army, so their expressions were very relaxed. The two were smoking and drinking tea and chatting. The laughter from time to time showed that they were in a happy mood. At this moment, a The senior staff officer hurried into the headquarters.
