Chapter 126: The Great War Is Coming


Although there were no big waves in the Chinese battlefield in 1943, but there were also small battles everywhere, the Japanese Burmese Front since the end of 42 years after the bloody battle under the city of Kunming, actually retreated to the north of Longling, began to build permanent fortifications, the Japanese army will be reorganized the main force began to assemble in the Indian side of Imphal, intending to cut off the Sino-Indian road, threaten the Allied supply center, and consolidate the defense posture of Burma.

Since Imphal was the main stronghold of the British army in the Assam region, as early as January 1943, the commander of the Japanese 15th Army, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryo, had already put forward the idea of attacking Imphal, the purpose of which was to completely cut off the supply of the Allies to China, and then as a preparation for the occupation of India; However, from Burma to India, it was necessary to cross heavy jungle areas, cross the turbulent Chindun River, and climb over the Arakan Mountains more than 2,000 meters high.

This battle, which originally took place in March and July 1944, actually showed signs of breaking out ahead of schedule, and Song Yuhang was worried that the Japanese troops who participated in the Battle of Imphal in history were seriously undersupplied, and there were serious omissions in the battle plan formulated by Mutaguchi Lian, which caused the Japanese army, which had completely lost its logistical supplies, to launch an attack in a hurry.

However, the current Mutaguchi Lian can be said to have a large number of soldiers and a wide range of materials, and there is the support of the commander of the front army, Kawabe Shozo, while the Anglo-Indian army that retreated back to India is a frightened bird.

History has deviated from the track, Song Yuhang's previous advantages can be said to have been lost, at this time, the squadron's intelligence and secrecy work is far worse than the Japanese army, Song Yuhang obtained the Japanese army's telegram code in Tonggu Song Yuhang did not report, nor did he make more use of it, but handed it over to Suna for preservation.

Song Yuhang hopes that this set of passwords can play a major role in a pinch.

However, this fighter never appeared Due to the military build-up of the Japanese army in Burma with obvious targeted intentions, the British could not bear it, Churchill received Mountbatten's telegram for help, and immediately contacted Roosevelt, Churchill knew that after the defeat in Burma, the current British could no longer hold their proud heads in front of the Chinese army, but the so-called self-esteem of the British gentlemen made them unable to put down their heads.

Even if Churchill had put down his jaw and begged Generalissimo Chiang, I am afraid that Chiang would have been more happy to hear his painful pleas, and would not have given him any face The most particular thing about the Chinese is to respect me and respect you, remembering that in Cairo he Mr.

Churchill rolled up the face of Jiang several times In desperation, Churchill had to move out of Roosevelt and play the alliance card, and Churchill almost shamelessly expressed to Roosevelt: "Letting the Chinese rescue India is equivalent to the Chinese saving themselves, for the European battlefield, for the Indian subcontinent."

China must immediately send troops to Burma to entangle the main force of the Japanese army" Roosevelt was a little confused: "Did the Japanese attack India?"

"They will soon, please believe it, Mr.

President.

The Japanese will soon attack India, so the Chinese must immediately send troops" Churchill was adamant.

Although his reasons are so naïve and ridiculous How Roosevelt didn't understand what Churchill meant.

But in order for the Chinese army to take advantage of the British, he still has to think carefully.

After all, the military politician of the East has a different way of thinking.

Having an elite army in China is tantamount to having power.

If you want to use other local troops to be cannon fodder for a person who has not had a good relationship, the difficulty can be imagined, and the most important thing is that the equipment and training of the Chinese army have not yet ended.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of these squadrons, armed with American-style equipment, is still unknown.

"Let me think," Roosevelt lit a cigarette for himself.

In the dimly lit room, a red dot flickered and flickered Early the next morning.

After a night of careful consideration, Roosevelt sent a telegram to Chiang Kai-shek with a slightly vague content.

The telegram first stated that he would ask Congress for approval to increase military aid to China.

In addition, there is a vague mention of how the Indian side was attacked by the Japanese army.

As a member of the Allied Powers.

China is obliged to send troops to Burma.

In Roosevelt's opinion.

Chiang Kai-shek was not unacceptable to the Chinese for the British.

The key is how much the United States and Britain will have to pay in exchange.

As Roosevelt expected.

Chiang Kai-shek kicked the ball back in even more vague terms.

Obviously, Chairman Chiang belongs to the category of not seeing rabbits and not scattering eagles.

This also made Roosevelt realize that a few promises could not be exchanged for Chairman Chiang's promise to send troops.

The United States and Britain have to be practical.

According to Song Yuhang's words, luck cannot be stopped, and he has become a direct beneficiary of the friendly actions of the United States and Britain.

The First Mechanized Corps arrived in Kunming in just four days with some of its heavy weapons, and a large number of spare tanks and spare parts, along with various supplies and ammunition, were also arriving.

Even Song Yuhang, who has been in the central subordinate army, has never been so generous, and many training subjects that could only be talked about on paper before can finally be implemented.

The first mechanization has become a benchmark in Kunming, under the strict training and iron-like military discipline and military regulations, the soldiers of the first mechanized unit are two people even in the barracks, and everything in the three-person army is straight lines and edges, so that all the people have a new feeling.

The student soldiers who were replenished to the First Mechanized Army were the most satisfying for Song Yuhang.

Although these soldiers and officers looked very young.

But they hardly need to agitate in politics, they understand what they are fighting for, especially those patriotic films shot by Xiao Guodong are more popular with intellectual youth.

It has been a few years since the capital was moved from Nanjing to Chongqing.

Chiang Kai-shek never went to the streets, and the whole mountain town was always shrouded in terror, and the summer of 1943 was exceptionally hot, so hot that it made people panic The population of the city swelled, the traffic was congested, the supply became more and more tight, and there was an inexplicable stench everywhere, which was unacceptable to Chiang Kai-shek, who liked to be clean.

Walking in the city, the ears are full of news of the defeat, and rumors mixed with deliberate exaggeration are spreading rapidly.

For example, the city of such and such was lost, the whole army of such and such a unit was destroyed, and the unit of such and such was transferred, and so on Today, Chiang Kai-shek has another feeling that as the supreme commander of the Asian Theater of the Allied Powers, Chiang Kai-shek has read the telegram more than a dozen times, and in Chiang Kai-shek's eyes, he has been recognized by the leaders of the Allied countries.

China has also become one of the top four in the world, what a merit and glory Recalling the 100 years of weakness of the nation-state, Chiang Kai-shek even began to think of the scene after the victory over Japan, and he must let the Japanese emperor come to Nanjing to sign a surrender treaty Chiang Kai-shek's obscenity was interrupted by Chen Jinwen, vice minister of the Ministry of Finance "Let him in" Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand to the guards unhappily, and Chiang Kai-shek had a very bad premonition about Chen Jinwen, who had nothing to do and went to the Three Treasures Palace Sure enough, the report brought by Chen Jinwen made Chiang Kai-shek's brows twist into a button, and the serious depreciation of the fiat currency and the soaring prices exceeded everyone's expectations, and the large number of fiat currencies issued had exceeded the gold reserves of the Nationalist Government by more than 2,000 times.

The economy of the Nationalist Government was on the verge of collapse.

Roosevelt's proposal was again put in front of Chiang Kai-shek, who would send troops to Burma to help the British in exchange for much-needed military and economic aid Chiang Kai-shek gently closed the file in front of him, such a big country.

Numerous local powerful factions, countless irreconcilable interests issues, people's livelihood issues, the personnel system of the national government, and other thorny issues almost caused Jiang to collapse "This home is not good" Chiang Kai-shek sighed helplessly, in the morning the Military Command Bureau had just reported to him the news that the Japanese army was gathering troops in Xiangxi, Wang Yaowu's 74th Army, Shi Zhongcheng's 100th Army, the 10th Army and other units were ordered to assemble in Xiangxi, and Wang Zejun's 44th Army, Liang Minghan's 99th Army, Fang Jing's 66th Army, Wang Benjia's 79th Army, Wang Zhibin's 73rd Army and other units defended on the spot.

When Song Yuhang learned that the 100th Army, which had completed the refitting in Kunming, was urgently deployed, he realized that something had happened, and Song Yuhang secretly complained about Chiang Kai-shek's deployment Chiang Kai-shek's deployment was almost exactly the same as that of the Battle of Changde.

Although it seems that there are many Chinese troops, Wang Zejun's 44th Army, Liang Minghan's 99th Army, Fang Jing's 6th Army, Wang Benjia's 79th Army, Wang Zhibin's 7th Army and other troops have been mostly long-fought troops.

Moreover, in history, the Japanese army deciphered the code of the squadron during the Battle of Changde, so that the Japanese army could calmly concentrate its forces to wait for the labor and guard points to send reinforcements, and the reinforcements of various departments fell one after another, resulting in reinforcement casualties exceeding the defenders several times, and the losses were the elite main force of the Chinese troops, it can be said that the Japanese army completed its strategic purpose at a weak cost and dragged down the strategic maneuver of the Chinese troops.

Reminded Chongqing that the Japanese army might decipher our code, Song Yuhang didn't dare to start this after thinking about it, what are the military commanders and the central commanders doing, and I believe that as soon as I open my mouth.

I'm afraid that the first place to be investigated is yourself, how do you know that the Japanese army deciphered our army's code, is it difficult that you have contact with the Japanese army, or you provided the place It is likely that the Japanese have nothing, and their new military seat was taken down instead Although Chiang Kai-shek had no intention of mobilizing the First Mechanized Army, Song Yuhang decided to take precautions, the First Mechanized Army entered the first level of combat readiness, the army's logistics made material preparations, the detachments directly under the combat divisions completed the campaign organization and action plan, the army and its divisions sent advance troops to the western Hunan direction, set up oil and material supply centers along Qujing, Guiyang, and Zunyi, and carried out maneuvers in the direction of Yuanling, with one regiment in each division as the vanguard.

The whole army was transferred to a wartime system.

All soldiers and soldiers will stop taking leave.

At this moment, as the commander-in-chief of the campaign, Diwang Yaowu was in a daze at the map in the headquarters of Shimen, and Sun Lianzhong, the commander of the Sixth Theater, Xue Yue, the commander of the Ninth Theater, and even the chairman of the committee called to repeatedly urge.

The Japanese army's intention to attack was already very obvious, and the opponent was still the 11th Army Yokoyama Isamu Yokoyama.

The large number of troops that worried Wang Yaowu were actually directly mobilized by Xue Yue, and the 100th Army allocated to him was still maneuvering at the moment, and the only one he could directly command was his 7th Army.

What he could not accept the most was that the troops of the 100th Army had not yet arrived, but the chairman of the committee had sent two telegrams in succession, in which the chairman clearly pointed out that the 100th Army could not be dispersed and should give a fierce attack in the enemy's important direction at a critical moment.

Wang Yaowu understood that the 100th Army and the First Mechanized Army were the first to be armed with American weapons, and they were the first units to be guided by American instructors, and when the blood of other units was about to run dry, the Japanese could not stand it, and the 100th Army was jumping out to destroy the withering and decaying, the wind and clouds were miserable, the battle was victorious, and the 100th Army had face after a big victory, and naturally the chairman of the committee also had face, and the US allies who provided weapons and equipment were also happy, and as soon as the American allies were happy, the next batch of weapons would naturally come quickly On behalf of the hussars to ask for a monthly pass, to see that when someone goes out to drill the ravine on business, they can still stick to the code word, and you book friends will support you a lot this month Hussar, let your enthusiasm be vividly reflected on the monthly pass, the above, pot and pot delivery:
