"General!" Seeing Alexander coming in in a hurry, Stilwell, who was discussing the battle with Luo Zhuoying and others around the map, asked, "Are you here to discuss with me how many tanks to send to fight the Japanese army?" ”

Stilwell was deliberately mocking Alexander, as he had already learned from other sources about the siege of the British army at Ringanqiang. ↗ Search for "Lan Shi Books" and see the new chapter of drunkenness

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency!" Because of his request, Alexander had to lower his posture: "I am here to ask you and General Du for help, the Japanese army has penetrated deep into our defense line, and we have been surrounded in Ringanqiang!" ”

Stilwell's face instantly became very ugly: "How can you be so treacherous? Don't you know that doing so will make the British army and even Britain a laughing stock? We sent tanks and armored vehicles to you, not for you to escape! "Note: The tanks and armored vehicles of the British 7th Armoured Brigade came from the assistance of the Lend-Lease Act of the United States

"I don't think so, Your Excellency!" Alexander quibbled: "We have laid out the defensive line on the Western Front as planned, but did not expect that the Japanese army would bypass our line under the leadership of the Burmese, the Japanese are too cunning." ”

Stilwell snorted coldly, he would not be deceived by Alexander's words, and withdrew the 7th Armored Brigade to Ringanqiang before the battle began, as long as anyone with a little military knowledge knew that it was not defending but fleeing.

But Stilwell couldn't say anything more, because by this time he was already sensitively aware that the situation in Burma was deteriorating in a direction beyond his control: the British army completely disobeyed the command and only knew how to use the Chinese to retreat. And his control over the squadron is also limited, although through Luo Zhuoying, he can influence the command of the squadron to a certain extent, but he has a headache over the command system of the squadron......

On the surface, Luo Zhuoying is the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force and commands the entire expeditionary force, but it is Du Yuming who actually commands the entire expeditionary force, and Du Yuming has to obey the orders of Stilwell, Luo Zhuoying, Lin Lieutenant, and Chiang Kai-shek at the same time. How can such an army fight? This will undoubtedly lead to confusion of command, because sometimes the same army will receive two completely different orders that cannot be carried out at the same time, and they will have to weigh whose orders they should obey, and if they mishear them, they may be guilty of disobeying the military orders.

As a result, the squadron can almost be said to be an uncontrollable piece of loose sand, and when you command the troops to the north, you never know if this unit will actually go south under the command of another person.

Note: After the Battle of Tonggu, Stilwell was dissatisfied with Du Yuming's disobedience to his order to withdraw the 200th Division from Tonggu and flew to Chongqing to complain to the emperor, Chiang Kai-shek appointed Luo Zhuoying as the commander-in-chief of the expeditionary force in order to appease Stilwell, and used Luo Zhuoying to suppress Du Yuming. Lin Wei was the head of the General Staff Corps, headquartered in Lashio, a command body directly responsible to Chiang Kai-shek and commanding on behalf of Chiang Kai-shek.

Thinking of this, Stilwell couldn't help but sigh, although all the Chinese soldiers are good, but the Chinese officers are almost all incompetent, such officers and such a command system will only make the squadron defeat on the battlefield!

Of course, Stilwell didn't know that the reason why there was such a command system was actually a helpless move, because although it was an army at this time, it was a warlord faction, and there was no telling when there would be an army and another mountain. In order to firmly grasp the power of the army, Chiang Kai-shek was eager to be able to directly command every soldier.

In this case, Stilwell had to think long-term: If the Burma campaign failed, where would he go? China? He didn't want to fall into this chaotic command system again, and he also understood that as long as Chiang Kai-shek was there, he would never be able to really command the squadron.

Then there is only one way to go to India, which is the territory of the British, so ...... In order to have more chips in his hands in the future, it was necessary for him to cater to Alexander.

"Hmm!" Thinking of this, Stilwell forcibly endured the anger in his heart, swallowed back the harsh words he was about to say to Alexander, and turned his head to Luo Zhuoying in Chinese and said: "Since this is the case, I think we can only choose to reinforce Ren'anqiang!" ”

"Of course!" Luo Zhuoying replied without thinking about it: "The British army is our ally, and the allies are in trouble, and our army is duty-bound!" ”

Luo Zhuoying is a person who is very obsessed with the industrial powers of Britain and the United States, and he will agree so simply, on the one hand, because his admiration for Britain and the United States is like a surging river, and on the other hand, he must do this from the perspective of the overall situation.

Among them, only Du Yuming snorted dissatisfiedly.

He was not opposed to rescuing Ren'anqiang, but he felt that at least the British should be taught a lesson or used this to make the British make some kind of commitment, rather than sacrificing the interests of the Chinese to protect the interests of the British as it is now.

Otherwise, the British will take it for granted to harm the interests of their allies, and this time the Chinese saved them regardless of their previous suspicions, and the British will do the same next time.

History also proved that Du Yuming was right, and after that, in the Battle of Mandalay, the British ** team that had just been rescued by the Chinese once again deceived and used the squadron ** again, or even worse, causing the squadron ** team to finally fall into a comprehensive rout.

But what can Du Yuming say? Those present are either generals or their own bosses, and to a certain extent, they can command themselves, and if they do not fall well, they will be detained and the hat of a person who falls into a hole and ignores the overall situation.

Therefore, there is no need to say how depressed Du Yuming is, it doesn't matter if he leads the troops to fight and spills his blood, the problem is that there are a lot of people on top of him who are in charge of themselves, and these people still have different purposes and even consider the interests of different countries, which makes Du Yuming feel like he is tied hand and foot to fight against the Japanese army. The most hateful thing is that Du Yu clearly knows how to fight this battle, but he has to obey the blind command of a group of people who can only talk on paper or have ulterior motives.

"So...... Which force should we send to reinforce Ringanqiang? Stilwell threw out a question and turned his gaze to Lo.

Luo Zhuoying turned her gaze to Du Yuming again and asked, "Guangting Du Yuming's words, tell me what you think!" ”

When it comes to the real use of soldiers, it is natural to ask Du Yuming, the only one who really knows how to use soldiers.

Du Yuming thought about it, then frowned and said: "For the current situation, Pingmanna's right flank has been exposed to the front of the Japanese 33rd Division, and our Fifth Army is in danger of being surrounded at any time, Pingmanna really can't transfer extra troops to reinforce, and the 66th Army in Mandalay is a reserve, so it is not appropriate to use it easily......"

Du Yuming's consideration was of course right, and it was precisely because the new 38th Division, the only one in the 66th Army, was transferred to the Western Front to reinforce Ren'anqiang, that the 56th Division of the Japanese Army was able to drive straight into the back of the expeditionary force on the Eastern Front.

At this time, the number of a unit appeared in Du Yuming's mind: "A regiment of engineers!" "Baidu" The latest chapter of the "Anti-Japanese War: Chinese Expeditionary Army Color Book" is free to read for the first time.
