The reason is simple. Right now, there are only three divisions in Xi'an, the 200th Division, the New 22nd Division and the 96th Division, and a tank regiment. Of course, after the troops cross the river, the heavy artillery brigade can also go back, but the total strength is less than seven Wan, facing the Second Division of the Japanese Army, the No.18 Division, and an unknown division that may appear, the pressure is unimaginable.

Moreover, since the Japanese army took the initiative to attack Homalin, the entire line of defense has extended from the Inovaddy River to the Wanjiang River a hundred miles away. Such a long front with so few troops?Just thinking about it makes my legs go weak.

"What are you afraid of? Doesn't India still have the No. 40 First Army? Although they have only received training for a few months, they have received militarized training from the United States. The training weapons, ammunition, and equipment are sufficient, and they are fully equipped to form With a certain combat capability, putting them into the battlefield may not necessarily mean that we will lose." Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan stood up and said.

As soon as Chen Shaokuan finished speaking, everyone looked at him with disdain and contempt. Who doesn't know that there is a 41st Army in India? Moreover, soldiers in the Chinese battlefield can have three or four months of intensive training, which is already very good No, how many soldiers put down their hoes and went directly to the battlefield. They still learned to shoot from the battlefield temporarily, not to mention that they are still student soldiers with better acceptance.

It can be said that the Chairman is on all kinds of defenses and concerns about Jiang Haoran at this time. Can he hand over the No. 40 First Army to Jiang Haoran?

The scene was embarrassing, and everyone understood the truth, but no one would be so stupid as to reveal this matter face to face.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhirou actually stood up at this time, and said with a little emotion: "The success or failure of Myanmar is related to the survival of the country. No matter what prejudices or suspicions there are in the past, we have to put aside. Everything is won Let’s talk about this battle again, everyone, I suggest that my younger brother Houfu (Chen Shaokuan) and I take the lead in writing a joint letter to the Military Commission, requesting that the Military Commission transfer the 41st Army Group to Burma to participate in the war at this moment.”

Zhou Zhirou's words were greeted with applause and echoes, and even Jiang Haoran looked sideways at him, and immediately felt that he was much more pleasing to the eye.

In fact, aside from Zhou Zhirou's suggestion to the Chairman and ordering Jiang Haoran to hand over the dozens of planes captured from the Japanese Jiujiang Airport to the Nationalist Government, there was no other quarrel between them, but the situation in front of Zhou Zhirou. These words completely overturned Jiang Haoran's view of him. At critical moments, he can still put the interests of the country and the nation first, that is to say, there is still justice!

A joint telegram was sent out quickly, Zhou Zhirou walked up to Jiang Haoran, and said earnestly: "Brother Ziqian, I know you have some thoughts about me, but I want to tell you, put aside your political opinions, in the face of the interests of the country and the nation , my heart is the same as yours."

Jiang Haoran nodded heavily, and then formally saluted Zhou Zhirou. Communication between smart people does not require too many words. Zhou Zhirou extended his right hand to Jiang Haoran, and the two held hands tightly. Together, at this moment, their goals are the same.

Afterwards, Zhou Zhirou also suggested to Jiang Haoran that this joint telegram alone might not be enough, suggesting that Jiang Haoran send another telegram to Chen Chen and General Li in his own name, and with their mediation, the matter will surely succeed.

??

Jiang Haoran's "treasure" was right on the Pacific Fleet of the United States. Since [-]:[-] p.m., the Japanese navy's carrier-based aircraft really did not appear in the sky over Myanmar. The flying division of the aviation division was blocked on the periphery of the battlefield. Only six fighters in the middle successfully passed through their defense line and entered the sky above the battlefield. casualties.

In the evening, the new 38th Division began to cross the river, followed by the 29th Division, 93rd Division, and 49th Division. It is expected that all troops must cross the river before dawn tomorrow. The Expeditionary Army 66th Army, 75th Army, two armies and six divisions, Except for the No.70 Fifth Army Commander Chen Mianwu who personally led the temporary 55th Division to defend Myitkyina, the rest all headed to the east bank.

At this time, the defense line on the east coast of the Japanese army collapsed under the ravages of hundreds of helicopters. Not to mention that the offensive of the two divisions was blocked, the entire defense line was washed to pieces, opening the way for the expeditionary force to fully cross the river. thoroughfare.

Just when everyone's high tension was just beginning to let go, Ye Zhaofeng suddenly sent a shocking news. Just ten minutes ago, Zhuang Yingying, the squadron leader of the Second Squadron of the Flying Brigade, was carrying out the post-break mission. The Mustang fighter was entangled by an enemy plane and shot down two enemy planes on the spot. Unfortunately, his own fighter jet was also hit by the enemy and crashed near Xibao. Some pilots saw Zhuang Yingying parachuting with her own eyes. She had a great hope of being alive. Paul's nearest airborne brigade sent troops to rescue.

When the news came, there was no sound in the headquarters, even a needle dropped on the ground could be clearly heard, and everyone's eyes were on Jiang Haoran.

And Jiang Haoran's face was pale, with beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, he walked into his headquarters without saying a word, and closed the door heavily.

Everyone in the room didn't know what to do. Everyone knew that Zhuang Yingying had a special status. She was not only the squadron leader and ace pilot of the Second Flying Squadron, but also Jiang Haoran's wife. The consequences were unimaginable. The loss of an ace pilot was secondary. Once the Japanese army knew that Zhuang Yingying was Jiang Haoran's wife, they would inevitably use it.

All the staff generals began to imagine a scene, that is, Zhuang Yingying was stripped naked by the Japanese army, surrounded by the Japanese army, crying and howling helplessly amidst the laughter, and this kind of picture would appear in the Japanese army In the brochure, it became a bargaining chip for the Japanese army to coerce Jiang Haoran to retreat or other conditions.

Even if Jiang Haoran was able to harden his heart and avoid the coercion of the Japanese army, there are still some possibilities that caused him to be temporarily confused, misjudged, etc., and so on.Therefore, everyone agreed that no matter what, this person must be saved, and Zhuang Yingying must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the enemy.

In view of the fact that the airborne brigade was already in a state of no communication, a special force could only be sent to the Xibao area immediately to search for Zhuang Yingying.

Chief of Staff Huang Jie bravely knocked on the door of Jiang Haoran's office, and within a minute of entering, Jiang Haoran shouted loudly: "Don't go!"

Immediately, Huang Jie withdrew in disgrace, looked at the staff generals in the room and waved his hands, shaking his head helplessly.
