Chapter 1757 New Layout
When it is one o'clock in the afternoon in the United States, it is already midnight in Guangzhou.At this time, in a small conference room at the headquarters of the Guangzhou Xuebing Army, Ouyang Yun, Ji Xingwen, Li Tieshu, Jiang Guangnai, Ye Zhao, He Zhengjiang, Stern and Guo Kui, Shan Renxiong, Tie Linfei, Chen Sitting around a coffee table, Ce and Chang Gen were discussing topics related to Chen Shichang's return.

When Ouyang Yun decided to go on an expedition to Southeast Asia, he was opposed by many people. Now, in view of the considerable achievements of this expedition, especially in solving the potential threat of Thailand, he did a good job. It can be called no war. As a model of subduing soldiers, not only the Xuebing Army, but also the Jews, the CGD, and the Chongqing government all praised it. They believed that Ouyang Yun's contribution to this trip was no less than that of Zhuge Liang's seven captures of Meng Huo. Therefore, the Japanese army should not even think about opening the western front to China from Vietnam and Laos.

In response to the request of the British and the "retention" of the French, Ouyang Yun left a total of four divisions in Thailand and the Indochina Federation.They are Xu Zhi's Second Expeditionary Division, Feng Lanshan's Third Expeditionary Division, Baojun's Second Mountain Division, and Bian Jiansheng's Third Mountain Division.In addition, Guo Kui's Jungle Special Operations Brigade and Huang Hua's Special Artillery Brigade each left a regiment. Among them, the Jungle Special Operations Regiment was commanded by Wang Changlong, and the special artillery regiment was commanded by Huang Hua's former Special Operations Division. Meng Xiao, one of the battalion commanders.These troops were all incorporated into Chu Tiange's First Expeditionary Army, of which Xu Zhishi will be responsible for helping the Thais defend Bangkok, Baojun Division will be responsible for helping the French defend Hanoi, Feng Lanshan Division, Bian Jiansheng Division and about one division's direct troops Under the leadership of Chu Tiange, he drove to Naypyidaw in Myanmar, where he would help the British establish a new line of defense.

According to the tacit agreement reached by the three parties when the expeditionary force was established, the Northeast Expeditionary Force should have been responsible for helping the British defend Burma.However, because the Chongqing government withheld all the financial aid from the British government, but did not guarantee enough military pay and logistical supplies for the Northeast Expeditionary Force, Liu Duoquan's 49th Army helped the British fight against the little devils on the Denver defense line. After the war, they withdrew to the eastern part of Myanmar, and then all the Northeast Expeditionary Forces camped here, and they never moved.

At the end of July, after more than a month of planning, the Japanese-Western Expeditionary Fleet launched a full-scale offensive against the British Army's Moulmein Line of Defense.At this time, Wavell was using the "Langluga POW Death Squad" to reorganize the Indian British army in the Manipur area. The Moulmein defense line only deployed one division of the British army and three divisions of the Indian retinue army plus one division. Burmese retinue.However, the Yatsushiro Yukichi Corps of the Japanese army has one division of the Japanese army and about ten divisions of the Indonesian National Independence Army.There is already a huge gap in ground forces, and the Japanese Kisarazu Air Force has an overwhelming advantage in air combat after being equipped with Zero fighters. Therefore, the British army was defeated after only five days of resistance.

Once the Mawlamyine line of defense was lost, the depths of Myanmar's inland would open the door to the Japanese cavalry. Wavell had no choice but to put pressure on the Chongqing government to demand that the Northeast Expeditionary Force go into battle as soon as possible. The consensus reached in the "Bangkok Talks" was to send a certain number of cadets westward as soon as possible to help the British army defend the strategically important Nay Pyi Taw.

This time, Ouyang Yun didn't play any more tricks, and immediately asked Chu Tiange to lead a total of three divisions to Naypyidaw.In the telegram to Chu Tiange, he wrote: I certainly do not want our soldiers to sacrifice for the benefit of other countries, but I am even less willing to see the Japanese army successfully open up the western front against China.Comparing the two, the general headquarters believes that instead of letting the war burn into our country, it is better to help the British army contain the Japanese army in the southwestern line of Myanmar... Tiange, no matter what other people do, since the original intention of our army is to fight against The Japanese invaders defend their home and country, so even if there is no request from the British, this opportunity cannot be missed... One thing to keep in mind is that you can only rely on yourself in this westward march, so don't fall into the encirclement of the Japanese army...

Why did the Xuebing Army go west when Minyueqiong was still threatened by the Japanese army?Some people may think that Ouyang Yun is a great success, but he himself and the senior officials of the Xuebing Army have a clear understanding of this. The fundamental starting point is that they do not want the Japanese army to open up a western front against China, so that the Japanese army will encircle China on three sides.

What happened between the Chongqing government and the Northeast Expeditionary Army, Ouyang Yun knew some secrets through the information collected by Fox Tong.However, because some unpleasant things happened during his "unconsciousness", Guo Kui decided to unilaterally cut off the communication between the headquarters of the two armies.As a result, there was a gap between the two armies. Later, when Shaoshuai Zhang decided to shrink his troops to the border area between China and Myanmar, he did not notify the Xuebing Army. It seemed that the friendly relationship between the two armies had come to an end.

When the Northeast Expeditionary Force was gathering at the China-Myanmar border, Ouyang Yun was busy solving the Bangkok problem, so he was in no mood or energy to take the initiative to care about it.After returning to Guangzhou, he really wanted to have a good talk with Zhang Shaoshuai on related issues, but he didn't have this opportunity.

Since the Japanese army adjusted its China strategy at the beginning of this year, there have been two major battles in China.After the Japanese army established the so-called "Government Army" with a brand-new concept, the North Korean puppet army and the Chinese puppet army shared a large proportion of combat and defense tasks, and were able to gather heavy troops to fight against the Central Army and other forces in central and northern China. The faction's anti-Japanese armed forces launched a decisive battle and gained a greater advantage.In the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, under the command of the new commander of the Chinese Dispatch Army, Nishio Hisao, the Central China Japanese army assembled a 30-strong army. First they fought against Li Zongren's troops in Wuhan, and then against Xue Yue's troops in Changsha. After winning these two battles In North China, Neiji Okamura led about 5 Japanese troops and 10 Korean and puppet troops to implement the encroachment policy against the Japanese base areas. Under the threat of it, the number of anti-Japanese base areas that were originally as numerous as stars in North China is shrinking sharply. The local anti-Japanese forces and armed forces have suffered unprecedented blows. The situation of the Anti-Japanese War is unprecedentedly bad.

In sharp contrast to this, although the Xuebing Army confronted the Japanese army and the Korean puppet army in multiple directions, the situation seemed relatively calm because the Japanese army and the Korean puppet army had taken defensive positions. It's like being in a foreign country.

The topic about Chen Shichang and the others was first brought up by Ouyang Yun.Because several people in the meeting did not know that the Xuebing Army had developed such a large-scale ocean-going fleet in the United States, when he received the secret telegram sent back by Chen Shichang not long ago from Pan Meiren and read it out to the public, all of them There was a look of surprise on their faces, as if they were listening to a book from heaven.
