In the early hours of the morning, Song Yuhang was awakened by a rush of footsteps, after the T suit came to the headquarters, Song Yuhang now almost all the division commanders have arrived, everyone's faces are full of solemnity, Li Haibo and several people are standing in the corner as if they are talking quietly, and the atmosphere in the headquarters seems to be condensed. \\ Xu Tu'an took this telegram and read it aloud with an expressionless face: "In the early hours of this morning, the Indian soldiers of two divisions led by the Anglo-Indian Fernandesel in Imphal collectively laid down their arms, causing the British army's defense in Imphal to suddenly open, and the Japanese army took advantage of the situation to attack, and the remnants of the 15th Army commanded by Lieutenant General William Joseph Slim, the supreme military commander of the British Imphal, to break through in the early morning and move closer to the 4th Regiment Army and the main force of the 3rd Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in India.
The 14th Army and the 11th Army, which was being formed, organized defenses deep into the Indian hinterland. ” "Imphal is lost" Song Yuhang gasped, the loss of Imphal means a major change in the war situation between India and Burma, and the allies seem to have fallen into a very disadvantageous situation, he thought for a while before looking up and asking: "Aren't the Indian troops of those two divisions having British commanders at all levels, why would they suddenly lay down their arms and stop resisting?"
Xu Tu'an glanced at Su Na, the head of the Military Intelligence Department of the Expeditionary Force, who happened to arrive in time, and Song Yuhang nodded slightly at Su Na.
Suna obviously trotted all the way, and after panting slightly, she took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat, opened the folder that followed, looked around and said, "The cause of everything is related to this Subhashchandra Bose" "What" Song Yuhang exclaimed in frustration, Song Yuhang had a deep memory of the person Subaschandra Bowes, and in his previous life, he had read a few articles about this person, in order to avoid being too shocking, Song Yuhang motioned to Suna to continue with his eyes.
Suna cleared her throat slightly and continued: "Subhashchandra Bose is a famous political and social activist in India, one of the former leftists of the Congress Party and one of the leaders of the Indian National Liberation Movement, and now this person is the Prime Minister of the Provisional Government of Free India supported by the Japanese.
The generals present were in an uproar, and after discussing one after another, Liang Chao was very depressed and said: "What kind of Subaschandra Bose is, in the final analysis, not a traitor and a traitor, but this traitor is good enough, and he can call on two divisions supervised by British officials to lay down their weapons, not to mention, and they can turn around and go into battle, this is also amazing, it must be the propaganda of the little devil." ” Song Yuhang waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this is true, this Bose has a very high reputation in India, almost equal to my country's Premier Sun, after he was elected chairman of the Indian National Congress Party, he has always believed that the goal of the Congress Party's struggle is to fight for India completely, get rid of British colonialism, and rebuild India.
He also believes that the fundamental task of nation-building is to eradicate poverty.
In addition to establishing an iron-clad political party, he had to enlist foreign aid and build up an army, which the British could not allow, so Bose was persecuted and expelled by the British colonial authorities, and it was crucial that in the eyes of the Indian people, he was not a lackey of the Japanese but a hero who saved the Indian nation from the British colonialism. ” After Song Yuhang explained, Liang Chao and the others stared at each other, and stared for a while before holding back a sentence: "This Indian traitor can still be a national hero."
Song Yuhang ignored Liang Chao's muttering.
Instead, he stood in front of the sand table.
The early morning shelling of Myitkyina was temporarily cancelled.
The situation in India made Song Yuhang very worried.
If the British army in India is unable to withstand the Japanese attack.
In such a hurry to relieve the encirclement, it is bound to easily fall into the trap set by the Japanese army.
Song Yuhang saw this very clearly.
Soon.
As Song Yuhang expected.
Now located in Kolkata, the 3rd Mechanized Army Commander Zheng Dongguo sent a telegram.
Lieutenant General Stilwell made a statement to Song Yuhang about his intention to take over command.
Zheng Dongguo's purpose is very clear.
That is, not to offend Stilwell.
Don't offend Song Yuhang.
And it can't be perceived by both sides.
Zheng Dongguo is playing on the balance beam.
Song Yuhang could feel it.
If the command of the four divisions is transferred to Stilwell at this moment.
Song Yuhang is sure.
When he led the main army into India.
The Third Mechanized Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force may only become a nostalgic term.
The enemy is still distracted to play tricks with Stilwell.
Hated so much that Song Yuhang sent the telegram directly to Chiang Kai-shek.
Chiang was asked to get in touch with President Roosevelt immediately.
Ensure the ownership of the command of the third mechanized military and local.
The identity and status of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Burma and in the future if needed to enter the Indian battlefield and many other matters.
Chiang Kai-shek received a telegram from Song Yuhang.
T without delay.
For Chiang Kai-shek, this was a great opportunity.
Use Song Yuhang as a buffer between him and Roosevelt.
Avoid the possibility of causing Roosevelt displeasure if he confronted Stilwell directly.
Hand Song Yuhang to the front.
In this way, he is in an advantageous position to advance and retreat freely.
When Roosevelt received Chiang Kai-shek's tactful and suggestive telegram.
He suddenly had the feeling of wanting to drop something.
It was hard for him to imagine that at such a critical juncture of life and death, President Chiang Da would have the leisure to talk to him about the ownership of the command of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and also involved the Indian garrison and many other matters After being translated and interpreted by the Director of Far Eastern Affairs, Mel Xidi.
Chiang Kai-shek's telegram to Roosevelt felt like a man standing on the edge of a cliff threatening an irrelevant man.

Threaten the other party to give him his lunch.
Otherwise, he will have to jump off the cliff.
Throw yourself to the ground.
Make the other person disgusting Although Roosevelt thought that this was an authentic bastard logic, Roosevelt was not prepared to seriously calculate, but he also provided him with everything that Chiang needed, in Roosevelt's view, all this was not at all a loss for American interests, even if there was a dispute in the future, it would be a problem for the British, Chinese, Indians, Burmese, what he had to do now was to restrain Stilwell's expanding power, and it would be better for the Chinese to command the Chinese army, and for all the conceptual problems raised by Chiang Kai-shek, Roosevelt's answers were all ambiguous, a technique that is the standard of a successful politician.
Roosevelt knew that Chiang Kai-shek did not really expect to get a lot from him, and his main purpose was probably related to the previous rumors that the commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater of operations wanted to let the chief of the general staff of the theater return to the countryside to farm.
Stilwell, who was in Calcutta, had not yet received the latest instructions from President Roosevelt, and he was packing his bags, although he had repeatedly stated that he wanted to advance and retreat with the troops on the front line, and live and die together, but the US Army Act clearly stipulates that a general of his level must be transferred in advance according to the law before the troops are under major threat, and MacArthur left nearly 80,000 troops in the Philippines and withdrew to Australia alone according to this act.
This is also the main reason why MacArthur was still able to command the US team in the Guadalcanal Islands at this time.
Besides, there are no American troops in India, and those army aviation units that are responsible for supporting them can be redeployed at any time, and the only thing that makes Stilwell depressed is the four divisions of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in India, although Stilwell thinks that these troops are much worse than the American troops, but they are more than enough to deal with the Japanese, and he knows that once he leaves here, he is likely to lose the direct command of these troops forever, and counterattack Burma is a shame, Plans to bring his military career to a successful end would come to naught.
The whole of Calcutta was shrouded in mourning, the vanguard of the Japanese army had not yet arrived, and most of the Anglo-Indian army was assured of defeat as if the war was over, and there were drunken soldiers everywhere, and those who could not flee were cursing the incompetence of the government and the military.
When Stilwell was reluctant to give up the Densimon transport plane, several suddenly rushed out, and the Japanese fighter planes that appeared over the airport were shot down by a squadron hovering nearby 40N after frantically strafing the control tower, Stilwell's face was very pale, and the adjutant behind him was already a little impatient to urge him again, it was obvious that this was the last plane to leave Calcutta, and a group of aircrew in the distance seemed to be burning something, and the British lady in the cabin was holding her dog and crying softly, Everything seemed so lost.
When a speeding jeep stopped in front of the transport plane, Captain Evante, who volunteered to stay behind, handed Stilwell an urgent telegram from General Marshall, and then Captain Evant hesitated and said, "General, I would like to ask you to bring this medal awarded to me by the Chinese government to my family in Texas, and tell my father that little Winches has become a brave man." ” Stilwell's hands trembled slightly, he seemed to have guessed the contents of the telegram, from the time when the president and Marshall insisted that he must retreat, he knew everything, after reading the telegram, Stilwell slowly closed his eyes, and the plane's engine vibrated and started with a roar.
Two lines of muddy tears flowed uncontrollably, Stilwell's telegram was Marshall's precautionary measure, if Stilwell insisted on refusing to evacuate, he would be relieved of Stilwell's post as chief of the general staff of the China Theater in his capacity as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and under the authority of the president
