"I said, Lao Yang, we have been separated for several years.

We were also old enemies in Sichuan.

I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, we would be on the same front again."

After a chaotic battle, news came from the front that two Sichuan troops arrived at the Japanese artillery position at about the same time.

Sun Zhen breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

The Japanese army without artillery was like a tiger with its teeth pulled out, so there was no need to worry too much.

Worry.

"Yes, times are funny.

We were fighting to the death in the middle of Sichuan, and at the end of the day, the Japanese broke into our house.

If we had expected such a day, why did we people go through such trouble in the first place?"

Yang Sen continued.

Passing the cigarettes handed over by Sun Zhen, he smiled self-deprecatingly, glanced at the brand on the cigarettes, and couldn't help but said, "What, you can even supply cigarettes now?"

"It's nice to enjoy the shade under the big trees.

Even during the war, at the battalion level and above, we can provide a few packs of cigarettes from time to time.

After entering the northwest, my military headquarters was downsized into a division headquarters, and the fuel and water were not as good as before.

But These messy things really paid off."

Sun Zhen took out a lighter from his pocket and opened the high-quality metal cover.

With a flick of his thumb, the fire started.

"You have a watch and a ignition device.

You have a lot of foreign gadgets on you."

Yang Sen looked at the silver lighter in Sun Zhen's hand in surprise and said.

"This is not a foreign thing.

It is produced in the northwest.

I heard that this thing has a registered brand with foreigners, and there is a patent for it.

This thing is highly praised by some foreigners in the northwest.

Of course, it is Those foreigners who smoke are too expensive, and ordinary people can’t bear to buy one.”

Sun Zhen handed the lighter to Yang Sen again.

Although the two sides were hostile during the melee in central Sichuan, Sun Zhen's status at that time was far inferior to that of Yang Sen.

After all, he was a figure who competed for the chairmanship of Sichuan Province.

However, there are not one or two instances where the top leaders of the Sichuan Army fight today and make peace tomorrow.

Besides, this is a national war, and it is no better than the petty fights in central Sichuan.

Today, we don’t know what will happen tomorrow, and there are still any grievances that cannot be put aside in the past. .

"Yes, I have benefited from you today.

I imitated the machine gun of Oerlikon," he said with envy, "Good guy, I don't have a few cannons in the division below, and even my headquarters doesn't have anti-aircraft guns.

You can start here."

Got it done. " "That's true.

Although the Northwest Army is a little stricter, it has not skimped on weapons and supplies.

Compared with Chairman Chiang, it is really not a little better.

These anti-aircraft guns are just for show. , the really powerful one is the Northwest Air Force.

Without the cover from above, it saves money.

There are a lot of things going on.

Although there will be troubles from time to time, you don't have to worry about being bombed by the Japanese all day long.

By the way, are you interested in coming to the northwest?

You can't write two words of Sichuan in one sentence.

After all, they are all from the Sichuan Army. , If Brother Yang is willing to come to the northwest, I can help you learn something."

Sun Zhen looked smug.

Although Yang Sen had a higher status than him at the beginning, even now, the opponent's military rank is higher than him, but the organization of the Central Army is very rich.

Although Yang Sen in front of him is also the commander of the group army, but his life is It may not be better than what he is doing now.

"If I had chosen the northwest before leaving Sichuan, there should be no problem, but now I may not have this opportunity.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

Now that Chairman Chiang has even lost Nanjing, here we have to If I dig into Nanjing again, Chairman Chiang will take a lot of responsibility, and Director Jiang will accept me."

Yang Sen shook his head.

After all, he was a giant in the Sichuan Army at the time, so he saw it more clearly than Sun Zhen, a rising star.

"If you really care about the friendship between the Sichuan Army and the Sichuan Army, give me some of the supplies seized this time.

I can't compare to you.

You have the Northwest Army as a backer.

You can't even fill your stomach with Chairman Chiang.

Those under me Bing, look at what you're wearing, you've been shouting for a while, don't talk about him.

Even I was jealous when I looked at them.

It was raining and snowing in the cold winter, and the soldiers below didn’t even have a pair of cloth shoes, let alone boots.

They were still wearing the straw sandals they brought from Sichuan.

If it weren’t for these enthusiastic people to help, many people would freeze to death.”

Thinking of the hardships his troops had endured on the battlefield during this period of time, Yang Mu couldn't help but sigh.

He saw Sun Zhen who also came out of Sichuan, although his number was reduced.

But life was much better than his.

"Okay, stay here, Lao Yang, and pick more people for you.

If you ask me, you should also fight more with the person named Jiang.

Isn't the treatment of their Huangpu family much better?

Although we are also divided into three, six, and nine grades here. , but it’s not too obvious.

If you fight well, you will still stand out.

This month, six of my divisions have been transferred to the military academy in the northwest.

If they come out again, they will become direct descendants.

If the battle is successful, there will still be a way out.

Yes, the view from the northwest side is not as deep as the south side.”

The left and right battle examples were jointly captured by the two armies.

He had supplies from the Northwest Army.

It was not easy for Yang Sen to obtain supplies from the south.

He still has this authority. bang bang "Celebrating the official opening of the Yunnan-Qingdao Highway" "This road took 13 months and more than 200,000 people to work day and night.

This road, which is more than a thousand kilometers long and took more than a year, was finally completed and opened to traffic.

This road crosses 6 mountains and 5 large The river passes through eight cliffs.

In order to build this highway, more than 3,000 people have sacrificed their precious lives.

This highway is the crystallization of the sweat and blood of more than 200,000 people.

When I say this, I am not complaining, but rather asking for credit.

I just want to represent the voice of more than 200,000 people and tell the country and all the people and compatriots who are fighting on all fronts that everything is for the sake of the war and the Republic of China.

The rear area, but for the independence of the nation and country, and for defeating the invading bandits, we dedicated our youth, blood, and even lives, and we have no regrets."

As the chief designer of the Burma Highway, Li Wenping is only 26 years old, but he is an overseas student with a PhD in transportation engineering.

At this time, Li Wenping stood in front of the loudspeaker, wearing a navy blue Mao suit.

Although he was young, he had become mature in the process of being responsible for the Burma Highway.

Not far from Li Wenping, there is a huge monument engraved with names.

It is engraved with numerous names.

Around Li Wenping are Yunnan's top executives.

The Wuhan government, as well as some representatives sent from the northwest, engineering soldiers, and some workers' representatives who built roads.

"Salute to the martyrs who swore to die" With a loud shout, everyone bent their waists towards the huge monument.

The camera captured this solemn scene forever.

Beep, the shrill sound of the whistle.

After a simple ceremony, the first group of cars drove onto this road built with the blood and sweat of the people.

The only difference from history is that the cars that originally drove on this road were either three-ton Chevrolets, Fords, 35-ton Dodges, or 45-ton Grand Internationals, all of which were basically made in the United States.

At this time, the trucks driving on the Burma Highway were mainly Lanfeng trucks produced in the northwest.

There are loads ranging from 25 tons to 35 tons.

History does not always change too much based on personal will.

Although Jiang Li planned the Yunnan-Burma Highway as early as possible, it took five months longer than the opening of the entire line in history.

After all, Jiang Li and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek He had the final say on highway construction in the Republic of China, but the highway sections in Myanmar required the cooperation of Myanmar and Britain.

So it was delayed for five months.

Of course, the early bird catches the worm, compared to the pure dirt roads in history.

There is also a road construction team that was basically composed of old, weak, women and children in history.

At this time, under Jiang Li's strong push, the main force building this road was replaced by a construction team with many years of road construction experience in the northwest.

In addition, compared with the pure manual work in history, Northwest also invested a large number of road construction machinery.

In terms of efficiency alone, it is much higher than before.

Therefore, compared with the pure dirt road in the past, the current Yunnan-Qingdao Highway is not only twice or one-third wider where conditions permit, but it is also a cement road.

The transportation capacity is not comparable to that of the original Burma Highway.

"I didn't expect that the Chinese people built the Yunnan-Burma Highway in such a short period of time.

Moreover, northwest China connected Sichuan's highway with the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

In the future, even if the empire blocks the southeastern coast of China, it will certainly not be able to stop it.

Material resources stored by British and American ghosts are constantly entering China."

Among the crowd preparing for the successful opening of the road, on a bamboo building not far away, two guys dressed like ordinary Han people, but with serious expressions on their faces, were looking solemnly at the people driving smoothly on the road. convoy.

"Previously, the northwest passage was controlled by the Soviet Union.

There was a strong controversy over the northward passage from the base camp.

Firstly, it could eliminate the Soviet threat to the Northeast, and secondly, it could also cut off the northwest passage for material supplies.

Now it seems that even if it is cut off, The Trans-Siberian Railway may not be able to The previous purpose has been achieved.

Now that the highway has been built, the railways being built by the Chinese will definitely speed up.

The status of the Yunnan-Burma Railway and the Highway will soon replace the Trans-Siberian Railway.

If they weren't obstructing it, the damn British would.

The empire will not be so passive."

Iji Meisaburo's eyes were spitting fire.

Anyone who is not a fool can see the huge impact of the Burma Road, and its significance is more important than the success or failure of one or two battles.

Japan had previously planned to occupy the eastern coastal areas of the Republic of China and cut off the Republic of China's supply channels outside the country.

In this way, the Republic of China could also obtain fewer and fewer arms and other necessary supplies.

Japan could completely defeat the Republic of China at a much smaller cost.

At present, it is impossible to cut off the foreign aid from the Republic of China.

With the Republic of China's almost endless manpower and material resources, the longer the war lasts, the more difficult it will be to make up for the losses Japan suffered in the war.

"Iji-kun, can we start from another angle?

The Burma Highway is nearly a thousand kilometers long, with countless dangerous terrains in between.

Sending some people to blow up their roads and destroy some bridges may have a good effect. ."

Another person suggested.

"Things are not that simple.

The Chinese people have gained certain support from the British for building roads, and Myanmar is a British colony.

In addition, according to the information we have obtained, the Chinese people have set up temporary offices in some dangerous areas along the highway.

There are a small number of troops.

The quantity is not large, but it is enough to deal with some small-scale attacks.

If the empire sends out too many people, on the one hand, the logistics cannot be guaranteed, and on the other hand, it will alert the British, after all, unless the base camp has been prepared.

Prepare for confrontation with Britain.”

Iji Meisaburo shook his head and denied his colleagues' statement.

After all, the Republic of China government spent so much money building this road, how could it really take no precautions at all?

Not to mention the troops, it was just the support of the local people for road construction.

It would not take long for the unfamiliar Japanese troops to enter the nearby area, and their traces would probably be exposed.

"Then what should we do?

Just watch the supplies to aid China continue to arrive and then be used on the battlefield against the empire."

Another person said with some reluctance, "The Chinese people are building roads too fast.

They can Working around the clock, we originally expected that it would take more than two or even three years to build the road, but the Chinese only took one and a half years to build it.

The production volume is also much better than we expected.

The construction of the Yunnan-Myanmar Railway has been started for more than a year.

According to the current progress, with a large number of materials and machinery that can be transported by road at any time, I am afraid it will only take more than two years at most.

It is enough to connect with the Lawu Line in Myanmar.

If the empire does not find a solution as soon as possible, I am afraid that the British and American tricks will succeed and the empire will fall into the quagmire of never-ending war."

"We are only responsible for intelligence collection.

The specific decision-making later depends on what the base camp decides.

Right now, the land and sea provinces on the base camp are fighting over whether to go north or south.

In my opinion, it won't take long for the cabinet to make a decision.

To decide whether to win or lose, we must either go north to provoke the Soviet Union or go south.

We only need to collect the cargo handling capacity of the Burma Highway and combine the details The data is placed on the table at the base camp.

I believe they will understand the balance of interests clearly.

Although northwest China is rich in resources, they still lack an extremely important industrial raw material, which is natural rubber.

Now Yunnan The opening of the Myanmar Highway has lifted the last shackles in northwest China.

I believe this can be seen from the base camp.”

Jisaburo Imei sighed.

He didn't understand the importance of cutting off Yunnan and Burma for Japan.

But the decision-making at the base camp involves the dispute between sea and land.

Not to mention him, even the Prime Minister had a headache and was hesitant about whether to go north or south.

But no matter which decision is made, it will take time for Japan.

After all, these two strategic decisions will determine the future direction of Japan, and it is not easy to draw conclusions.

But now, the Burma Highway has been opened to traffic
