Chapter 322 Ultimate! The Anajim Project
Lieutenant General Sommerwell, who is the "major general" of the British army in India, made clear assurances to Jiang Baldou, and would gradually cooperate with the US Air Force transport team to further increase the air transport volume of the Hump route.
From less than 5,000 tons per month now, it has expanded to 10,000 tons per month.
This condition is tempting enough!
The current prices in China are getting faster and faster, and the current prices of a piece of soap for bathing can catch up with the living expenses of almost a month a year ago.
The British army can guarantee to double the transportation volume, which is undoubtedly great news.
With this "cheap delivered to the door", the bald man and others not only did auxiliary work for this counterattack against Myanmar, but also put an unreliable commander on the matter.
If you stop picking on tricks, it means you have a default.
but.
Although the army has made compromises, the Kuomintang does not intend to stop the naval and air forces of Britain and the United States.
Jiang Guangtou firmly believes that the key to the success or failure of this battle lies in control at sea.
You must have absolute advantage in naval and air force strength to achieve a decisive victory.
Therefore, he repeatedly insisted at the meeting, hoping that Britain and the United States must organize strong fleets to control the sea surface in Myanmar and Singapore, and to crack down on Japan's reinforcements as much as possible.
Only in this way can we attack the north and the south and be foolproof,
In order to prevent the Chinese army from entering North Myanmar from fighting alone, the British main force was delayed from entering the battlefield, which led to our army once again following the mistakes of the previous ones.
With the painful lessons learned from the first expedition, the bald man's concerns were not aimless.
The most powerful thing about Britain is their navy. It is insistent that the British navy first enter the field, at least to ensure that the British will not give up so easily.
after all.
If the navy that the British could only brag for a moment had no power, then the British Empire would be a joke.
The bald man repeatedly reiterated his insistence on fighting first because the navy first and then letting the Chinese expeditionary force follow closely, and a situation of attacking from north to south.
But the reality is that the local area is "eyed at by Germany" and the British navy lives "not glorious".
The Japanese army has now fully controlled Southeast Asia. If there is no advantage on land, the British Navy will not dare to enter rashly.
Jiang Guangtou repeatedly reiterated that the British side naturally could not agree.
Actually, it's impossible to do it at all!
Although Francis is a British man, his current identity is the commander-in-chief of the Southeast Asian Allied Command, and his main responsibility is to tune the three countries to cooperate happily.
On the one hand, it was because it could not agree, but on the other hand, it was because it did not trust the UK and repeatedly insisted on it.
This will definitely not work.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Francis could only agree to adjust the troops from all sides to attack Southern Myanmar as soon as possible, and then temporarily ended the first day's meeting.
I know that I am not on the same level as bald heads, and it will not be effective if I say it myself.
The meeting has to continue and the final conclusion needs to be drawn as soon as possible.
So after the meeting came to Francis, he immediately called Churchill, who was native to the UK, and then Churchill contacted Roosevelt again.
The two then contacted the bald man and conducted a secret spy between their hands and brains.
As for what the leaders of the three countries have talked about, there is no way for the outside world to know, and we can only guess that there must be some exchange of interests.
The reason why the bald man persisted so much at the meeting is probably to achieve a goal.
Get more benefits!
The final result was very obvious. The bald head should have obtained some satisfaction from the above, and the meeting of the day no longer insisted that the British Navy took action first.
The process of the meeting was able to continue to move forward.
Then after two days of discussion, the meeting, which was related to the war situation in Southeast Asia, ended successfully, and the final goal was finally achieved.
In this meeting led by the bald Chinese government, Frances, the commander-in-chief of Southeast Asia.
Combining the current Chinese battlefield and the situation of war against Japan in the Pacific region, a combat plan for counterattacking northern Myanmar was finally determined.
Codenamed "Annajim".
The core policy is to ensure the opening of China-India highways, to fully open up the channel from Kunming, China to Lido, and even lay an oil pipeline.??
If this passage is to be normal, then all Japanese troops on this road will become the targets of this battle.
Without the existence of the enemy, the road will naturally be safe.
In order to ensure the perfect implementation of this plan and be completed in the shortest time so that there is enough time to lay the oil pipeline.
The plan is divided into two parts!
First, the Chinese troops stationed in India, set out from the Indian-Myanmar border town Lido, crossed the Indian-Myanmar border and launched an offensive against the Myanmar Japanese army first.
The Chinese army stationed in India is now strong and has the absolute strength to take the initiative.
It is not worthy of the Japanese army at all!
The first step is to take down McQueen, Mengguan and other places, cross the first line of defense of the India-Myanmar border, and then continue to move forward and occupy the New Ocean, east of the Tanai River such as Inzuzu and Sawan.
This area is located north of Myitkyina, where an offensive starting position can be established and a logistics supply base for the Chinese army stationed in India.
Accumulate strength for subsequent attacks!
At the same time, it also established a defensive front in this area to prevent the Japanese troops located in the Myitkyina Fortress from launching a vicious counterattack.
With this stable offensive starting position, the Indian army stationed in the Indian army can try to cross the wilderness mountain.
With powerful firepower and roundabout tactics, he broke through the Hukang Valley and the Menggong Valley, forcibly attacked and occupied the Myitkyina, a key land in northern Myanmar.
As long as you successfully capture the Myitkyina area, it will be equivalent to taking back the Myanmar entrance to the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
The Chinese army stationed in India attacked from India to Myanmar and needed to seize the hardest Japanese troops to chew the hardest resistance to Myitkyina, which became the most important first part of this plan.
Their combat operations are part two of the Yunnan Expeditionary Forces located in China.
The combat core of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force is very simple, that is, to use the Nujiang area as a bridgehead for counterattack, and advance step by step from north to south.
The survival space of the Japanese army in southwestern Yunnan is gradually compressed towards the Sino-Indian border.
Until the end, the Japanese army was forced to Myanmar and was encircled and suppressed by the Chinese army stationed in India and the Indian army stationed in western Yunnan, completing the regaining battle of the entire southwestern Yunnan.
As long as the Japanese army in southwestern Yunnan is cleared, the Yunnan-Burma Highway in Yunnan will be opened.
The Stilwell Highway and the Burmese Highway can be linked here in Myitkyina.
As long as this step is completed, it will be a smooth and successful end to Annajim's plan. What we have to do next is to take advantage of the victory and drive all the Japanese troops in Myanmar into the sea to feed the fish.
The plan to counterattack Myanmar is officially established, and the battle will be officially started next.
The Southeast Asian Command led by Francis, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Theater, Stilwell, the British Representative of the British Army in India, and others all started their return journey.
The day they return to India, the battle against Myanmar will begin soon.
Although Chiang Kai-shek, who knew that the counterattack was about to begin, had agreed to the combat plan, he still distrusts the British because of his personality.
Because the Chinese army in India is an independent command system, the bald man has no way to secretly instruct.
But he still kept a hand!
The moment he came down from the conference table, the bald man immediately called the commander of the Western Yunnan Expeditionary Force "Chen Cheng", so that his Yunnan Chinese Expeditionary Force must be cautious.
Britain and the United States did not control the Bay of Bengal and did not land in South Myanmar to cooperate in combat. We would never step across the Nujiang River.
As the number one confidant under Bald, Chen Cheng first received a plan to counterattack Myanmar and knew that the western Yunnan Expeditionary Force needed to cooperate in fighting south from the country and finally complete the reunion with the Chinese army in India.
When the back foot received the bald head, the order that was completely contrary to the counterattack plan.
No hesitation or doubt.
