Chapter 782: The Current Situation in Yunnan and Burma

Commander Du and Zhang Wei and his entourage, as members of the inspection group and officers of the Central Army, were treated very well, and the place where they stayed was an antique high-end hotel, and the entire hotel was taken over by the Kunming camp, and the people in the hotel were all the staff of the Kunming camp, including the waiters and sweepers, all of whom were from the Kunming camp.

The inside and outside are guarded by the heavily armed Yunnan army troops, and the total strength is enough to have two reinforced companies, including the Hatch Chase heavy machine gun and the French-made Bayi mortar.

There are plainclothes guards from the Kunming camp in the hotel, and the whole hotel is surrounded by airtight winds, and even a fly cannot fly in.

Zhang Wei, who is accustomed to rolling in the rain of bullets, is the first time to enjoy such a favorable treatment, even Commander Du is very uncomfortable, in this hotel, whatever you have requirements, will be satisfied, hungry, there are good Yunnan cuisine and French food available at any time, thirsty tea and wine, tired and someone to give you a massage, there is a bathroom for you to bathe to relieve fatigue.

If you want to go out, there are 20 Pontic luxury cars and armed trucks with soldiers from the United States waiting outside the hotel anytime and anywhere, get in the car, and the people of the camp will immediately take you to visit the spring city of Kunming.

As soon as Zhang Wei and Commander Du arrived at the hotel, they received a set of well-fitting tunics.

Yixuanju, in the tea room on the second floor, quiet and peaceful, Zhang Wei and Commander Du are sitting on the old chair, drinking the famous tea produced in Pu'er, in addition to Zhang Wei and Commander Du in the tea room, there is also a man about fifty years old, wearing a black Zhongshan suit, also sitting on the old chair, carefully tasting Pu'er tea, Zhang Wei and Du Jun Commander are sitting on both sides of the man, the three of them are silent, all enjoying a moment of tranquility, tasting the best Pu'er.

This person is the deputy head of the China's India-Burma-Malaysia expedition group, that is, the deputy head of the regiment, - the former first director of the Ministry of Military Affairs Lieutenant General Lin Wei, this lieutenant general Lin has gray hair, born in the Qing Dynasty Guangxu fifteen years of him, this year is already fifty two, Lieutenant General Lin graduated from the former Qing Dynasty Jiangnan Naval Academy, and then entered the highest institution of national army generals - Army University for further study, from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, Xinhai, the Great Revolution, the Northern Expedition, the Central Plains War, Lieutenant General Lin has experienced all the way, belongs to the old ostrich, the old fritter.

Age, qualifications, are all first-class, compared to today's Supreme Leader and Chairman of the Committee, he is only two years younger, in front of Zhang Wei and Commander Du, he is an absolute bigwig, an old-timer.

Lieutenant General Lin and Zhang Wei and Commander Du rushed to Kunming on their front and back feet, and in the tea room of Yixuanju, the three of them, who had just met and had not known each other for the first time, took the opportunity of drinking tea to contact their feelings and chat.

Most of the members of the delegation went out to visit or hang out, and many of them were on the way, and had not yet arrived in Kunming, so the tea room of this Yixuanju was extremely secluded, the tea fragrance was overflowing, refreshing people's hearts, giving people a sense of relaxation and pleasantness.

This lieutenant general Lin's military rank is the same as that of Commander Du, but his qualifications and age are far greater than that of Commander Du, not to mention Zhang Wei, the age of this lieutenant general Lin is basically Zhang Wei's father's generation, and he is extremely respectful to Lieutenant General Lin, Zhang Wei and Commander Du, and he dare not slack off.

Zhang Wei has other thoughts, he knows that although this Lieutenant General Lin is now the deputy head of the China-Burma-India-Malaysia Military Investigation Mission, in his time and space into Burma, Lieutenant General Lin will be the commander of the future expeditionary force's command and staff body, the Chinese Expeditionary Force Staff Corps, responsible for the important decisions of the entire expeditionary force.

This staff group will have a direct impact on the operational command decisions of the expeditionary force, and its functions and powers are even higher than those of the expeditionary force headquarters, and a good relationship with Lieutenant General Lin will be of great benefit to those who go abroad to fight in the future.

……

Lieutenant General Lin squinted, picked up the porcelain teacup, and took a sip of Pu'er tea.

"The tea in Yunnan is good, you can't drink such a good thing in Chongqing, and good tea is produced in a good place."

Du Jun said: "What Lin Gong said is very true, Yunnan has not experienced the war, this time I came, what I saw was the peaceful and grand scene that I had not seen for many years, and Guangxi, where we were stationed before, are basically two scenes, like this Yixuanju, as well as the street scene of Kunming, it is really unforgettable, Yunnan under the rule of Director Long, is really a paradise in the world." ”

Lieutenant General Lin changed his words: "Commander Du, what do you think about the inspection group and the future going abroad to fight?" ”

"I can only obey the dispatch of my superiors, and my understanding of going out to investigate and fighting abroad is limited to a few telegrams provided by the above, which are not deeply involved, but my attaché Zhang Wei has insight into the international situation and has a very good opinion on the war in Burma and Southeast Asia, so Lin Gong might as well chat with him."

Several people sat opposite each other and drank tea, and Commander Du naturally introduced Zhang Wei to Lieutenant General Lin, and Zhang Wei's background, military academy period, and his exploits on the battlefield were all informed to Lieutenant General Lin.

Zhang Wei graduated from the 10th Central Military Academy...... He was only twenty-six years old...... The current head of the regiment...... On the battlefield, he has also experienced combat exploits......

In this way, Zhang Wei's first impression in Lin Zhongjiang's heart was that he was a young central general who could fight.

Lieutenant General Lin twisted his head: "I didn't expect Regiment Commander Zhang to kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and he also has a judgment on the international situation, I don't know what Commander Zhang's prediction of the future battle situation is?" ”

"The younger generation does not dare to assert, but in my humble opinion, the war situation is not optimistic, the British and our army are separated from Germany, and the response of the false and wronged snake is problematic from the root of the combat attitude, and the hard power is not as good as the Japanese army, the British army's defense in Burma is loose and the strength is insufficient, once the battle is engaged, I am afraid that there is only the loss of division and ......the loss of ground."

talked about the war situation in Burma again, Zhang Wei must still be the old point of view, and told Lieutenant General Lin the point of view he told to Commander Du at the beginning, every word is the same as at the beginning, full of worries and pessimism about the war situation in Burma.

After listening to Zhang Wei's views on the future battle situation, Lieutenant General Lin sighed in his heart that a regiment commander actually had a judgment and understanding of the situation that was not inferior to that of Chongqing, but he did not show much shock on the surface, and the old fritter had already learned to remain quiet.

Lieutenant General Lin put down the teacup and said softly: "Commander Zhang's opinion is very insightful, the attitude of those British is indeed very problematic, when I was in Chongqing, I was already dealing with the problem of the two sides working together, the British are sometimes prevaricating, sometimes positive, and changing in every way, even the British themselves have different opinions on the defense of Burma, and they are fighting internally, which makes Chongqing dizzy." ”

"There is internal discord among the British?" Commander Du was stunned.

Lieutenant General Lin smiled: "Commander Du and Commander Zhang are both officers leading troops far away on the front line, and you don't know what is bad in the rear, the British are now fighting in Burma, and the two sides are repeatedly rolling on the issue of the joint defense of Burma, and they are divided into two factions within the British, one faction is actively encouraging the national army to enter Burma to assist in the defense, and the other faction is passively opposed.

"The British who agitated the Nationalist army to enter Burma were mainly military, and Lieutenant General Dennis, the British military attache in Chongqing, strongly advocated our army's entry into Burma to assist in the defense, and actively mediated in the middle, with a very good attitude, and another large number of people firmly believed that the Japanese army would not rush into Burma, and most of these people were officials of the British authorities, and last month, Lieutenant General Dennis was in a plane crash when he flew from Lapun to Kunming in Burma, according to Lieutenant General Dennis's statement before his death, the British authorities in Burma also believed that the Japanese army would attack from the front line of Laos and Thailand, and would not directly attack Burma. Commander Zhang's estimates, I can say with certainty that more than ninety percent of them are real happenings. ”

After speaking, Lieutenant General Lin gave Zhang Wei an approving look.

"I see, there is no harmony within the British." Zhang Wei said.

According to Lieutenant General Lin, British soldiers and military attachés understand the current strategic situation and most of them welcome the national army to enter Burma to assist in defense, but the government authorities and these rulers are the opposite, and they shirk the national army's entry into Burma to assist in defense, and also judge that the Japanese army will attack from Laos and Thailand, and Zhang Wei does not know whether to call them stupid, bad or stupid.

This group of goods felt that the Japanese army would not "venture" into Burma, Zhang Wei vaguely remembered the record in the history of the war that the 15th Army of the Japanese Army entered the mirror directly from Thailand and smashed the chrysanthemums of the British......

Commander Du asked: "Lin Gong, Chongqing, do you have any new deployments and orders for our army on the Yunnan-Burma border?" ”

"That's too much, the British don't care about Burma, but Chongqing cares very much, and the combat policy is very clear, that is, to send troops to fight to the death with the Japanese army, and the Yunnan army in the province does not move, and it is the central army troops who go out to fight."

"I won't tell you, your Fifth Army has been clearly divided by Chongqing into the establishment of Burmese combat troops, and the movements in other directions are also very large, for the sake of Yunnan and Burma, even the direction of Yunnan and Vietnam has been moved, Chongqing intends to use the five infantry brigades of the Yunnan-Guizhou Pacification Office to form the first group army to hold the Yunnan-Vietnam railway, and the 52nd Army and the 54th Army of the Central Army are organized into a group army, which is also defending on the front line of Yunnan and Vietnam, and on the Yunnan-Burma border, Chongqing intends to organize and concentrate three to four armies as the main force to fight in Burma. For example, Gan Lichu's Sixth Army is now moving to Yunnan and Burma, and several more armies are also on the way, and it is still inconclusive about which troops are going to enter Burma, but it is the same for you, because no matter which unit is transferred, your Fifth Army is the absolute main force, and you have to shoulder a big responsibility and a heavy burden. ”

Lieutenant General Lin nodded to Commander Du and Zhang Wei, leaned back on the old man's chair, took a sip of tea, and said leisurely.

"Yunnan Province and Chongqing have also completed communication, and at the same time, it has been agreed that a large number of central army troops will enter Yunnan, and the central government and Yunnan Province will do everything in their power to fully cooperate with the national army to fight in Burma, and this battle is not far away!"
