Zhou Weiguo frowned, looked at Old Jiang and Du Yuming, thought for a while, and then said, "Being ambushed and actively attacking are two different concepts."
"What do you mean?" Du Yuming also frowned, "Do you want the Sixth Army to take the initiative to attack?"
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "With the strength of the Fifth Army, facing the Japanese 55th Division, we should not be unable to take action. Therefore, we can allocate some troops from the Fifth Army. At that time, we will attack with the Sixth Army and others in front and behind to provide
The devil caught me by surprise."
"That's right!" Lao Jiang's eyes lit up. In this way, it's a matter of taking advantage of the situation, and it's not certain who will win in the end. "Then let the Sixth Army continue to advance!"
Du Yuming nodded, "Okay, I will be responsible for following up on this matter and give the Japanese a surprise."
Zhou Weiguo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there were still people listening to what he said. Otherwise, it would be really blind if the entire headquarters would be like that.
Old Jiang glanced at Zhou Weiguo meaningfully and smiled, "Do you think you should tell Stilwell and the others about this?"
Zhou Weiguo raised his eyebrows, "Whether you tell me or not, it doesn't matter. However, I think it's better to say it to avoid further intensification of the conflict."
"Then why did you come to tell us first today?" Du Yuming looked at Zhou Weiguo and asked.
"The Chinese care more about the lives of Chinese people!" Zhou Weiguo thought for a while and gave this answer. Historically, Du Yuming and others were at odds with Stilwell, and the conflict deepened, to the point where Stilwell and others wanted to give up the
200 Division, and the Chairman of the Generalissimo and Du Yuming and others advocated rescue, this is the difference. Even the chief of staff of the joint army would not care about the lives of Chinese soldiers. In comparison, Zhou Weiguo could only believe in Du Yuming.
After hearing Zhou Weiguo's answer, Du Yuming and Lao Jiang sighed.
"Before he came to China, Stilwell asked for the command of the army." Old Chiang Kai-shek said, "But in the final analysis, I am the commander-in-chief of the Chinese theater and the multi-party coalition. In the final analysis, our army is the main force in Burma. Look.
Look at the British army. What's the use of one or two troops? Not only are the supplies delayed and not delivered, but they also told us at the beginning that we only need one division and one regiment to enter Burma. How much can we fight with one division and one regiment?
Japs? Well done Yangon, it was suddenly breached! I don’t know what confidence Alexander has to be so tough at the headquarters!”
Du Yuming and Zhou Weiguo could only listen.
Zhou Weiguo, on the other hand, could only sigh deeply. There were some things that he couldn't feel just from books and history.
…
Dai Anlan listened to the sound of gunfire on the position and watched the Japanese continuously launching attacks. He held the telegram just sent from the headquarters in his hand and frowned. The telegram said that the Japanese wanted to ambush the follow-up troops coming to support, so
, ordered him to transfer a division, and then together with the Sixth Army, they would attack the Japanese from front to back.
At this time, Dai Anlan understood why the Japanese did not attack in the first few days. They were actually waiting for time.
Fortunately, the Fifth Army is not weak. It can still drag the 55th Division here. When the time comes, we will first deal with the Japs to the north of Tonggu, and then deal with the frontal enemies of Tonggu.
"Let everyone be careful on the battlefield and don't be anxious. We have plenty of time to fight the Japanese." Dai Anlan said to Zheng Tingji.
Zheng Tingji nodded. Obviously, he also knew the contents of the telegram in Dai Anlan's hand, and he had to lament that the Japanese were still playing tricks in a foreign country. This was bullying them because they had no accurate source of intelligence.
…
At this moment, the special operations team, Liu San's team, was on the outskirts of Tonggu. They had carefully inspected the terrain from Yangon to Tonggu, but Liu San did not go elsewhere.
On a hillside a little further away, several straw hats moved.
"Captain, the Japanese are very sinister. They actually have so many troops behind them?"
After hearing this, Liu San smiled and said, "Judging from the telegram received yesterday, the Japanese must have other ambushes near Tonggu. Of course he is not willing to use all his strength now."
"However, with this formation of the Japanese, if we have troops now, we can catch the Japanese by surprise." Liu San sighed. Now, he also wanted to have soldiers in his hands, and Zhou Weiguo also wanted to have soldiers in his hands. In fact, he didn't have any soldiers in his hands.
It was too frustrating. “Besides, I always feel that the British strategy is to abandon Burma and protect their seal.”
"Why?" The team member next to him was stunned, "Aren't we fighting the Japanese in Burma now?"
After traveling to many places in Myanmar, Liu San also saw many of the British army's defenses, and coupled with the British army's performance, Liu San became more suspicious of the British army's purpose of inviting the expeditionary force, but he knew that the expeditionary force entered Burma.
In order to protect the Burma Road, this was beneficial to China. However, Britain's largest colony in Southeast Asia was India.
"I don't know, I'm just guessing, let's see." Liu San sighed, "We will send the enemy's attack formation layout to the division in a while. This will also facilitate the defense of the Fifth Army in Gu Nei."
"yes!"
Liu San shook the gun beside his hand. How long had it been since he had been serious about fighting Japanese soldiers?
…
Zhou Weiguo returned to his room and wanted to take a rest. He was notified of a meeting again. Zhou Weiguo felt that there was a war on the front line. No matter how many meetings the headquarters held, it would be meaningless. "Tell the commander and the chairman of the committee that I am not feeling well."
,not going."
The soldier who came to inform nodded. He could only tell the truth.
"Shengzi, is there anything new?" Asking Zhao Sheng, Zhou Weiguo continued to look at the map in the room.
"Third brother and the others sent the attack formation of the Japanese 55th Division." Zhao Sheng handed the telegram to Zhou Weiguo. Zhou Weiguo took it, started to read it, and demonstrated it in his mind according to what the telegram said.
"The Japs are waiting for the right opportunity to attack. The current attack may have a lot of potential!" Zhou Weiguo put down the telegram, "The Japs really want to ambush the follow-up Sixth Army and then go back to deal with the Fifth Army before they can escape.
.”
"If our special operations team hadn't been dispersed, I'm afraid that the expeditionary force would have fallen into the Japanese trap by now." Zhao Sheng sighed, "Master, we don't have soldiers in our hands now, which is really a constraint! We can't lead the war.
We can only passively neutralize the Japanese attacks."
Zhou Weiguo had realized this a long time ago and smiled bitterly, "This is indeed a miscalculation on my part. I originally thought that I could slightly ease the relationship between the three parties and convince the other party. However, the cultures are different, the emphasis is different, and the goals are different. It is very confusing.
Now the conflict between the three parties has deepened, and Britain and the United States are on one side. In their view, our soldiers are large in number and inexhaustible, and we can raise troops at will. Therefore, they must also restrict our excessive development.
"
"Why?" Zhao Sheng didn't understand. China is still very backward. We all have a common enemy. Why do they still want to restrict our development?
"Because China is the most populous country in the world!"
