"Your Excellency, Commander, the 55th Division has arrived in Tonggu! According to the news, the Fifth Army of the China Expeditionary Force is also in Tonggu!"
"Yo Xi! Tell them to surround Tong Gu!"
"Hi!"
"I will order the 56th Division and the 18th Division to stop the Chinese reinforcements! Tell them to carry out the plan no matter what!"
"Hi!"
…
On the Japanese side, they held the idea of encircling the point for reinforcements, while on the Tonggu side, Dai Anlan also held the idea of using the Fifth Army to attack the Japanese 55th Division, and then go further south to regain Yangon.
He had already received Du Yuming's telegram, and Du Yuming only told Dai Anlan the general details. In addition to the Fifth Army, the Sixth Army would also come to support, and Dai Anlan needed to hold back the Japanese 55th Division.
The Fifth Army is considered elite. It is natural that it is not a problem to hold back the Japanese 55th Division. If necessary, it can also join forces with the Sixth Army to launch a counterattack against the Japanese.
"Master, Commander Scott of the British First Division is looking for you."
Dai Anlan frowned and his face darkened. When he arrived in Tonggu yesterday, he met with Scott, the commander of the British 1st Division. As a result, he didn't know anything when he asked him. Asked him about the enemy's situation, he didn't know, and asked him how to deal with it.
Even he doesn’t know the enemy!
Dai Anlan has a headache. Although you can't rely on the British, you are still a division with guns. How can you really bear to watch from behind? This approach of the British army completely shifts the responsibility to the Chinese army! If this cannot be achieved
The orders from the headquarters and the responsibility rest entirely on them.
"Bring him in." Dai Anlan said. After all, he was the division commander of the British army, so he couldn't completely deny face. If he didn't see him, he didn't know how Scott would report to his superiors. Although he wasn't afraid, he was still annoyed.
"Oh! Dear Dai!" The voice came before the person arrived.
Dai Anlan rubbed his eyebrows, having no idea what Scott wanted to do with him.
"General Scott, what can you do?"
"I heard that you are going to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army!" Scott said, looking at Dai Anlan with a bright look. Dai Anlan designed the Japanese army on the road and made a lot of gains. He also knew about this, so he didn't
Doubt the feasibility of the counterattack plan he heard!
Dai Anlan frowned after hearing this, "General Scott, the headquarters did not send a telegram in this regard. What are you talking about?"
That's right, the official telegram from the headquarters has not yet been sent, and what Dai Anlan received was only Du Yuming's private instructions.
"Dai, you Chinese just like it, like it." Scott didn't know how to describe it for a moment, "Yes, it's just duplicity! I have received a telegram from our commander. They discussed another set of operations at their meeting today.
The plan! It’s called the Battle of Tonggu! If executed, we may be able to fight back to Yangon!”
Dai Anlan was really speechless. Sure enough, the so-called Allied Forces had many problems, and the lack of tight information was also a big problem! "So, what is General Scott looking for me for?"
"Oh, that's it. Our First Division wants to go to the battlefield together!" Scott smiled and said, according to Alexander's information, if the Chinese army's plan is implemented, it is very likely to succeed. All along, they
The performance of the British soldiers here is really terrible, so they must also participate to change everyone's view of the British army.
"We can just follow the arrangements of the headquarters for this matter." Dai Anlan did not agree. He would only agree if he was crazy. The incident in Yangon was still vivid in his mind. He would never trust these British soldiers again no matter what!
"Don't worry, the command will issue the order soon!" Scott was full of confidence.
At the Expeditionary Force Headquarters at this moment, Du Yuming was faced with a difficult problem. To be honest, he had no intention of asking British soldiers to join the plan for the Tonggu battle. If there were more British troops, it would be full of uncertainty.
As for the ideas of Alexander and Stilwell, Du Yuming opposed them. Anyway, it was not the first time that he opposed Stilwell.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the dull conference room, helpless, and said to himself, if you don't decide quickly, the Japanese will come! In fact, he did not agree with the British army joining! Who knows what will happen if the British army joins!
The British army, which was clearly well behind the Fifth Army when they were guarding Yangon, suddenly launched a charge and pursuit! This led to the defeat of Yangon! He still remembers this! Moreover, for now, the command of the expeditionary force
Quan is already in chaos.
Although this was not what he wanted, it was inevitable. Even Alexander and Stilwell would not always have the same position.
Since the Chairman is still here today, he also participated in this meeting.
Seeing the atmosphere between the two sides, Chairman Chiang also sighed. It seemed that they were indeed irreconcilable, but the British really had to give them face, "Let the First Division of your army in Burma join us."
At this time, Stilwell and Alexander breathed a sigh of relief. Indeed, they had seen the plan for the Tonggu battle and felt that the possibility of success would be great. Stilwell did not deny that Dai Anlan was an outstanding general, so he believed that
Dai Anlan can hold back the 55th Division. This is the key to the plan!
…
So, when the official order came to Tonggu, Dai Anlan's face was ugly. He knew that he must have gone to the peak because he couldn't bear the pressure. However, there was nothing he could do.
Originally, in history, the battle in Tonggu was aborted because the follow-up troops were not in place, resulting in Dai Anlan only having 200 divisions in Tonggu and becoming a lone army. Naturally, there was no way to talk about the battle.
But this time, due to Zhou Weiguo's influence, the Sixth Army and other follow-up troops have also entered Myanmar. Dai Anlan has an entire Fifth Army in his hands! Therefore, Zhou Weiguo believes that even if the follow-up troops have not arrived, Dai Anlan can still respond
of.
"Dai, we warriors of the British Empire will fight bravely to kill the enemy!" Scott looked at Dai Anlan and quickly made a promise, "Please believe me!"
At this point, Dai Anlan said nothing more and could only nod.
But what he didn't know was that they were planning to attack the Japanese 55th Division, and the Japanese were planning to attack the follow-up troops of the National Army, and then they would deal with the Fifth Army in Tonggu to deal with China's situation in Myanmar.
army to speed up the solution of the British army's power in Burma.
…
Donggu is a small city. After the Fifth Army took over, it only set up simple roadblocks. After all, Myanmar is a British colony. It is naturally unreasonable to prevent Myanmar people from entering.
A Burmese man with wheat-colored skin and black hair, wearing short sleeves and shorts, entered the city from outside the city. Of course, the national army also searched it and found no guns, so they let him go.
And this man is the young leader of the Burmese uprising army supported by the Japanese army!
