Stilwell shrugged and expressed regret, but instead comforted Jiang Haoran. When the situation stabilized and the expeditionary force opened up the Burma Road, he would definitely suggest to the U.S. government to provide production equipment and raw materials, and even skilled technicians for free. Be sure to let this weapon shine.

Stilwell was aware of current affairs, and did not ask Jiang Haoran to provide the mature technology of this weapon to the United States, which would produce it and put it on the battlefield in China. With the industrial base of the United States, it would not be a problem to produce a hundred of them per day with mature technology. Based on Stilwell's understanding of the Chinese people, it is absolutely impossible for the Chinese to hand over such cutting-edge technology to the United States so generously, but he underestimated Jiang Haoran. In Jiang Haoran's eyes, everything can be shared, as long as The price is right.Of course, it is meaningless to say these things now, so Jiang Haoran just smiled and didn't say anything more about it.

The planes in the sky had already returned after dumping the ammunition they carried, and the commanders of the divisions also came back from the front one after another, saluted and shook hands with Jiang Haoran one by one, which was considered a preliminary acquaintance.

When they met, these generals automatically stood in two rows. Normally, a new official would say a few words when he took office, summing up the failures of his predecessors, pointing out the shortcomings of the current situation, and picking out one or two typical examples for criticism. One is to show one's ability, and the other is to establish prestige.

But Jiang Haoran didn't play cards according to common sense, looked at everyone pretending to be puzzled, and said: "What are you doing standing here, waiting for dinner? Go to the war room." After finishing speaking, he ignored everyone and did something to Stilwell A gesture of invitation was firstly polite, and secondly, he didn't know where the war room was.

Stilwell hesitated for half a second, apparently not understanding Jiang Haoran's initiative, but he waved his hand and walked away.

Standing in two rows, the army commanders and division commanders, and even Luo Zhuoying's deputy commander-in-chief, looked at each other, wondering what kind of medicine Jiang Haoran was selling in the gourd. 15 expeditionary troops entered Burma, and the three-month battle was a mess. Although there were many objective factors involved, a defeat is a defeat. No reason can explain this fact. These generals originally thought that Jiang Haoran's death was inevitable. He was reprimanded and humiliated, and he was already prepared in his heart, but who knew that he didn't mention a word.

Although no one was willing to scold them, Jiang Haoran's performance made them feel like a stab in their throat, and they were flustered, not sure what Jiang Haoran's intentions were.

Although everyone felt uneasy, they had no choice but to follow Jiang Haoran into the war room.

The War Room is a makeshift tent on the edge of the jungle.Although the tent is big enough, the furnishings inside are very simple. There is only a huge sand table and a large table made of wooden boards. There are more than a dozen marching chairs placed here and there. Too low, and you can only see the parts above your shoulders when you sit on it.For a headquarters of 10,000+ troops, this is indeed a bit shabby, and Jiang Haoran, who is not very particular, frowned immediately.

Stilwell seemed to have noticed the change in Jiang Haoran's expression, and immediately explained that it was because he was preparing to retreat, the wooden house built earlier had been dismantled, and everything that should be smashed and destroyed had been dealt with. I took the staff team to do it overnight last night, but these are not bad. If the telegram is a few minutes late, let alone these things, even the tanks and artillery will be blown up.

Jiang Haoran gave a wry smile and didn't say much. He went straight to the sand table, looked at it carefully, and was full of praise for the temporary sand table made by Stilwell. The mountains, rivers, roads, and jungles in the entire northern Myanmar, the enemy's troops were assigned It was clear at a glance, combined with his aerial inspection, Jiang Haoran made several changes before he raised his head and said: "General Stilwell, tell me about the basic situation of the expeditionary force, weapons and ammunition, soldiers, supplies?"

Stilwell said: "The expeditionary force has nine infantry divisions, one tank regiment, one heavy artillery regiment, one automobile regiment and one logistics regiment. Excluding the tens of thousands of stragglers who fled back from Lashio, Myitkyina and other places, there are still 11 troops. 850 people, including more than 4000 combatants, more than 3000 technical soldiers and non-combatants, and more than 20 serious injuries and more than [-] minor injuries. Two bases for various types of firearms and ammunition, two for the division artillery battalion There are more than one base number directly under the heavy howitzer regiment, and there are five base numbers. Medicines and food are currently the most scarce, and the limited supply is at most [-] days."

Jiang Haoran frowned when he heard the words, there is no problem with the strength of the troops, if the 11 people are tactically correct, there is still a lot to do, and the ammunition is still there.The basic ammunition of domestic army rifles is generally 120 rounds, and the expeditionary army is richer, with 24 rounds. Compared with the [-] rounds of the Japanese army, although it is a bit shabby, but it is economical. It is no problem to fight one or two tough battles. Machine guns It is almost the same as the Japanese army. A light machine gun has a base of [-] rounds, and a heavy machine gun has a base of [-] rounds.The artillery shells are similar to those of the Japanese army, with a base of [-] rounds for light and [-] rounds for heavy.No more, no less, especially the heavy howitzer, which has five bases, [-] howitzers, that is [-] rounds of shells, which is almost enough for a small battle.

What troubled Jiang Haoran the most was the issue of food. The food and drink for 10,000+ people is not a small amount. Even if we temporarily control the airspace and can drop it by air, a troop of 11 people, based on the minimum standard of one catty per person per day, would be 11 tons, the transport planes that use up the whole country may not be able to guarantee one-third of the volume every day, and once the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway is cut off, the transportation of the entire country will be very tight, and it is impossible to transfer all the transport planes, at most Only medicines and a small amount of energy-enhancing foods such as beef jerky and pork jerky can be guaranteed.And this can't be considered too long-term. Although the Japanese Fifth Flying Regiment was disabled, the Japanese air force is far more than one Fifth Flying Regiment. Who can guarantee that they will not replenish as soon as possible?

Although Lala Zaza said so much, it flashed through Jiang Haoran's mind. Although he was a little worried, Jiang Haoran would not show it, but said very easily: "20 days is enough to do a lot of things Now, let's see what we do?"

After finishing speaking, Jiang Haoran picked up the command stick, drew a circle in the area north of the sand table, and said: "Now the Japanese army has three divisions from northern Burma to western Yunnan. It is known that the 56th division of the Japanese army is in Longling, Huitong Bridge, Tengchong line, coveting Yunnan with a vanguard attitude, trying to enter the rear of our southwest. The Japanese No. 16 Division and the Fifth Division are on the opposite side of the Hukang River Valley, Myitkyina, and Mangshi. The specific deployment of troops is unknown , but according to the aerial reconnaissance just now, it can be basically determined that the strength of Myitkyina is close to a division, and it is the No. 16 division of the Japanese army. The normal way back to the north has been blocked by the Japanese army."
