"So, I want to invite you to the Fifth Army, of course, if you want to lead an army, I can also give you the right to command, you are in my Fifth Army, and I have the same right to speak" Du Yuming said, "It's just that I can't transfer the military position on the surface, after all, a radish is a pit, you should also know this."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, still quite moved in his heart, Du Yuming's invitation was already very sincere, after thinking about it for a while, he agreed, "Then please take care of my brother." ” Du Yuming didn't expect it to be so simple, so Zhou Weiguo agreed, "Brother, you agreed" "Hmm."
Zhou Weiguo should be down.
"Haha, okay" Du Yuming laughed happily, "I thought it would take some words, but I didn't expect it to be so simple" Zhou Weiguo smiled, originally, when he accepted the appointment, he planned to do something, in the command, after the last incident, the atmosphere was a little weird, and he went to the 5th Army, he should be able to feel more comfortable.
"Commander Du personally came to invite, how can I have no reason."
"Hahaha."
Du Yuming laughed again and stood up, "Okay, then I won't disturb Brother Weiguo's rest." ” "Then I won't keep my brother."
Zhou Weiguo also stood up.
After sending Du Yuming away, Zhou Weiguo thought that today was already the first day of the Lunar New Year.
Exactly, a new year, a new atmosphere.
To tell the truth, Lao Chiang attaches great importance to the expeditionary force, and the situation in the country is like this, if he is not careful, a big war will start, and then there will be another beacon fire.
Rather than this, there is now an opportunity to put the battlefield abroad and improve China's international status, and Lao Chiang is naturally happy to do so.
Zhou Weiguo thought of the upcoming Chief of Staff of the Coalition Army, Stilwell, and thought about Lao Jiang, and closed his eyes helplessly and fell asleep.
On the 16th, Zhou Weiguo rushed to Dali with Du Yuming.
After resting, we are ready to leave for Myanmar.
At this time, the 200th Division had already set off for Burma.
The fall of Singapore is a wake-up call for everyone.
In particular, Wavell, commander-in-chief of the Indian Army, had an ugly face and kept postponing his entry into Burma, because it was his idea, and it was he who told Chiang Kai-shek that he could only accept one division into Burma.
But his refusal also led to the Japanese pressing forward step by step.
As early as December 8, 1941, the Japanese launched simultaneous attacks on Thailand, Malaya, the Philippines, Guam and Hong Kong, China, and on December 10, the British air force in Thailand was wiped out13 or so, and the rest was withdrawn to Singapore.
On this day, the British battleships "Prince of Wales" and "Enemy Enemy" from the Singapore Naval Base were escorted by four destroyers and were about to intercept the Japanese troop carriers, but were sunk by a swarm of Japanese planes on the way.
On 25 December, the British forces defending the second line of defense in the western part of Hong Kong Island were forced to surrender; On January 2, 1942, the Japanese occupied Manila; The Japanese airborne forces began to attack the Dutch East Indies, and Thailand was occupied.
As long as the Japanese army advanced further west and crossed the border, it would be Burma.
And now, Singapore has also been captured by the Japanese army, and to put it mildly, a third of Southeast Asia has fallen into the hands of the Japanese at the moment, and the Japanese have not been subjected to decent resistance at all.
White House Roosevelt looked at the telegram and sighed, Singapore had also fallen, he didn't know what was going on in Britain, the good situation was like this.
He once said to his son: "If China falls, you know how many divisions the Japanese will spare and where they will use these troops to capture Australia and India."
Advancing directly into the Middle East, the Japanese and German armies would flank from both sides and meet somewhere in the Near East, completely cutting off the Soviet Union from the outside world, tearing apart Egypt and cutting off all lines of communication through the Mediterranean. ” However, it seems that China will not be able to fall for a while, but the British are about to fall.
If Germany and Japan were to work at the same time, the situation in Britain would be really bad.
"Your Excellency."
"Hmm" "It's meeting time in a moment."
"Okay, I got it."
After several days of turbulence, the Fifth Army finally entered Burma.
The weather is also significantly hotter, and the air in Myanmar is more humid than that of Yunnan.
The fall of Singapore was of great significance to the coalition forces.
This means that the Japanese Navy can directly pass through the Strait of Malacca and reach the hinterland of Myanmar.
There was not a lot of time left for the expeditionary force.
The car stopped, and they arrived at Lashio.
The 200th division, now also in this position.
After all, the 200th Division is now an infantry division.
"How" Du Yuming asked Zhou Weiguo.
"It's too hot."
Zhou Weiguo replied with a smile, not long after entering Myanmar, the military uniforms they wore with long sleeves and long pants already looked a little heavy and stuffy.
Du Yuming nodded, "Although Yunnan is also hot, the temperature is not so high. ” "It's okay now, it's not yet the rainy season, and if it's the rainy season, it's hot and humid, that's the sin."
Zhou Weiguo shook his head, "However, at that time, even if we are guilty, the Japanese will also suffer." ” Du Yuming nodded, "That's right." ” "It's only now in Lashio, and we have to keep marching."
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "However, along the way, the British soldiers didn't have a very good face when they saw us." ” "Heh, they even lost Singapore, what good face can they have."

Du Yuming smiled mockingly, "As early as the beginning of the establishment of the expeditionary force, the chairman of the committee continued to increase the number of troops to 80,000, but the British commander-in-chief in India, Wavell, refused the chairman, saying that he could only accept the strength of one division into Burma. ” "One division" Zhou Weiguo tilted his head, "the strength of one division" really thought that all divisions of the national army were independent divisions "He may think that the equipment of all our divisions is like that of independent divisions," Du Yuming laughed, "However, I am really jealous of the equipment of your independent divisions." ” Zhou Weiguo smiled and said nothing, now many of the equipment of the independent division are produced, rather than exchanged from the system, which also allows Zhou Weiguo to more or less get rid of his dependence on the system.
Since it is produced, it has created value, and money is needed to buy it.
Everyone thinks that the national army is rich, wears brand-new military uniforms, and is equipped with brand-new guns, but in fact, except for a few elite troops, the equipment of other national armies is really average.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the soldiers behind him, and sighed slightly, anti-Japanese, anti-Japanese, not his division's anti-Japanese, "Haha, that's simple." ” "Oh how easy" "Is Commander Du rich?"
Du Yuming smiled helplessly and pointed at Zhou Weiguo, "You, you have prepared money for your brother, and I am waiting for you to slaughter it." ” "Hahaha."
Zhou Weiguo also smiled, "That's better, I can't ask for it."
"That's okay" Du Yuming nodded, all he wanted was a right to buy
