When Dai Anlan's telegram reached the headquarters, everyone in the headquarters was amazed, except for Zhou Weiguo.
No one could have imagined that Dai Anlan could give the Japanese army a certain counterattack under such a disadvantage.
Stilwell and Alexander's eyes lit up and they were full of praise, in their opinion, since the Chinese army could fight, then their Battle of Mandalay would definitely be able to be carried out, and they would have the opportunity to give the Japanese army a powerful war of annihilation.
If Zhou Weiguo knew what they thought, he would definitely say that the plan was good, but unfortunately, the person who executed it made a mistake.
The British met the Japanese and collapsed at the first touch. led to the collapse of the whole plan.
Chongqing After receiving the telegram, Chairman Chiang was also in a very good mood, "Yes, compared to being able to give the Japanese a certain counterattack at a disadvantage, the performance of the British is really As he spoke, the chairman shook his head.
Dai Li nodded in agreement, compared with his own army, his own army is obviously the children of other people's families in the mouth of his parents.
"Prepare, I'm going to Kunming, I heard that the new commander of the British army in Burma has also arrived" "Yes, Headmaster."
"Let's go then."
"Yes" On the afternoon of March 13, Chiang arrived in Kunming.
When Jiang arrived in Kunming, Stilwell and others were already waiting at the airport.
As the supreme commander of the Chinese theater of operations, Chairman Chiang's position cannot be ignored by everyone.
Although Stilwell and Lao Jiang are not at odds, it can't be too obvious.
The war of resistance that the Allies should have waged was still going on.
Zhou Weiguo, naturally, is also at the airport.
At this time, Wujiaba Airport was extremely lively.
The aviation volunteer team led by Chennault, that is, the Flying Tigers, and an aviation regiment led by Zhu Ziming, plus several planes flying from Chongqing, were full, and finally the airport was full.
Chairman Jiang was obviously also very surprised, there would be so many planes at the airport, but when he saw the model of the plane below, he roughly knew what Zhou Weiguo meant, this is the support of the independent division.
Although the independent division is far away in Shandong and cannot send troops to come, this aviation regiment is the heart.
Lao Jiang was still a little satisfied in his heart. saw Zhou Weiguo in the crowd again, but found that Zhou Weiguo had not changed, and his mood was complicated.
"Mr.
Commander."
Stilwell stepped forward.
"Mr.
Chief of Staff."
Lao Jiang obviously had to respond as well.
"This is Alexander, the new commander of the British Empire in Burma."
Stilwell introduces the two.
"Hello."
"Hello."
"Let's go, let's go back to headquarters first" "Hmm."
Lao Jiang nodded in agreement.
By the time we returned to headquarters, it was already dark, and after eating, everyone began to sit in the conference room.
At this moment, Lao Jiang saw Mandalay marked on the map, "Mr.
Chief of Staff, you are planning the decisive battle of Mandalay" "Oh yes, Mr.
Commander-in-Chief," Stilwell saw this, nodding, "it seems to me that the fighting qualities of the Chinese soldiers are very good, they are hard-working, submissive, able to endure hunger, long hours of labor, wounds, sickness and boredom, and as long as there are good generals, they can compete with any army in the world."
In particular, General Dai Anlan's performance today was so unexpected that we all thought that he would go to Tonggu to defend."
Hearing Stilwell's praise of his own army, even if he was unhappy with Stilwell, Lao Jiang also had a smile on his face, "Indeed, I was also surprised. ” "So, General Alexander and I have been wondering if we can find a place to fight the Japanese army in a decisive battle and eat the main force of the Japanese army in Burma and eliminate our worries," Stilwell continued.
Lao Jiang nodded, he also tended to be able to solve his troubles in a war, the Chinese theater was established, he needed to show a little achievement, in particular, the Japanese army was raging in other parts of Southeast Asia, if it fell on the Burmese side, it would be of great help to his prestige and China's status, "Then tonight, let's improve this plan." ” "Okay."
As Chief of Staff, the commander-in-chief's orders are usually endorsed.
So, the meeting ended one night, and the final result was that the Yangman Railway was the boundary, from the east of the railway to the Thai border, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force was the defense area; The British army, numbering about 40,000 men, defended the west of the railway.
The Chinese and British armies were deployed in three ways to meet the enemy, and finally planned to meet the Japanese army in the area from Pyin Wenna to Mandalay and encircle and annihilate the enemy.
Zhou Weiguo sat in the middle, his face became more and more ugly, why is it so difficult to get rid of historical inertia Leave it to the British army to defend and defend him "I'm against it."
Zhou Weiguo stood up, "There is an omission in this plan. ” Everyone looked confused, isn't this plan very good, where did it come from?
Du Yuming looked at Zhou Weiguo, to be honest, Du Yuming felt that since the Fifth Army could temporarily defend in Tonggu, it was better to fight a battle in Tonggu and then recover Yangon "Counselor Ou Zhou, why do you oppose it" Obviously, Stilwell's opposition to Zhou Weiguo was also very surprised.

At this moment, whether it was Lao Jiang or Alexander, they all looked at Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo sighed slightly, "I don't think it is appropriate for the British army to defend the west with the performance of the British army in Yangon. ” After listening to Zhou Weiguo's words, some people couldn't help laughing, which is not appropriate, that is, they don't believe it, and they don't believe that the British can hold it.
However, after listening to Zhou Weiguo's words, everyone felt that it made sense.
And the commander-in-chief of the British army in Burma, General Alexander, after listening to Zhou Weiguo's words, his face was not very good-looking, and he retorted, "If you Chinese troops defend it, you will definitely be able to hold it?"
Zhou Weiguo smiled slightly, "I can't say 100%, at least I won't collapse at the first touch, and I will run desperately, just like Dunkirk." ” Alexander slammed his feet and looked at Zhou Weiguo, the retreat from Dunkirk was determined by the general environment, and it was also one of his few achievements Now, he was ridiculed by Zhou Weiguo, he was really angry, "Mr.
Commander, is this the quality of your Chinese soldiers, attacking the Allied generals in front of them, distrusting the allies, how can the soldiers of our British Empire be so unbearable?"
At this time, Lao Jiang also had to glare at Zhou Weiguo, and then came out to turn around, "General Alexander, what Staff Officer Zhou means means that we need to be more insured, for example, we will transfer another 1 to 20,000 troops to coordinate with your army in the west. ” "No, no" Alexander's reaction was fierce, which, in his opinion, was to look down on their British soldiers, and to discredit them with the British Empire: "Our brave men of the British Empire, in our own strength, are enough to hold the western line":
