Although Lieutenant General Stilwell came to the Northeast this time, he was not authorized by the US government. Even the US military delegation to the Anti-Japanese Union did not know about his actions in advance. The lieutenant general of the U.S. Army, who teamed up with the British to mess up the war situation in Burma, and now cooperates with the war situation in India, is about to mess up the pot, and he can't care about anything in order to alleviate the crisis.

However, whether this old man came to the Northeast in a hurry was simply because of the influence of the war situation, and there were other reasons behind it, Yang Zhen was not completely unable to guess. This old man, who is obviously not an opponent in the political struggle, came to the Northeast this time, and I am afraid that he was also guided by a certain master.

I am afraid that this old man does not want to take advantage of the complicated political situation in China to create an opportunity for himself to make a profit, so as to realize his grand blueprint in some aspects. This old man can even do the work of killing China's top leader, and what else can't be done.

Facing this uninvited guy, Yang Zhen was almost as big as a fight. In his opinion, this guy with low eyes and low hands, came to the Northeast at this time, and Cunchun was full of food. Now the Anti-Japanese Federation has a feeling that its own troops are a little stretched, where can I find troops to run to India, thousands of miles away, to reinforce the American and British troops with smoking butts?

During the period from the second half of '42 to the beginning of '43, the Kwantung Army was replenished quite quickly. By the beginning of the fourth and third years, the Kwantung Army had basically replenished the battle losses, and even expanded by two divisions. Judging from the information currently available to the Anti-Japanese Federation, the combat effectiveness of the Kwantung Army has basically recovered.

The supplementary troops and equipment of the Anti-Japanese Federation are now only two-thirds full. In particular, the number of tactical aircraft is now seriously insufficient. Facing the Kwantung Army in person, the Anti-Japanese Federation itself felt extremely pressured and went to India to stir up? What's more, it is still the territory of the ill-intentioned, extremely selfish British.

In addition, in India, your American and British armies have a group army, two armies, two armored brigades, several independent tank regiments, two divisions of the Anglo-Burmese Army withdrawn to India, two so-called brigade-level combat units of the US army, but the total strength has actually reached the division level, and a task force plus two armies of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

The air force alone has one air force of the US military and several hundred combat aircraft of the Royal Indian Air Force of the British army. It is also equipped with a large number of tanks and artillery, such a powerful force, even if there is a large-scale counterattack by the Indian army, but this battle has been fought like this, and the British may not have played a good role in the middle.

To be honest, Yang Zhen was quite surprised by the rapid collapse of the Indian battlefield. The US and British troops, which had more than 1,000 airplanes in the air, hundreds of tanks, and thousands of large-caliber artillery pieces, were surprised that they could not withstand the attack of several divisions and regiments of the Japanese army.

It's just that after learning about the actual battle situation of the British army, Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh, he was not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates. This Lieutenant General Stilwell, plus the two commanders of the British Fourteenth Army, is a group of pigs that can be missed even by the best fighters.

Lieutenant General Stilwell, in particular, was in full swing with the Japanese attacking Imphal and its northern Burma defenses were already empty. However, at the request of the British, despite the fact that the British army was stationed on the Imphal line, two armies of nearly 140,000 heavy troops.

He actually gave up the favorable opportunity to detour the Japanese army from the flank, and took the initiative to transfer the two armies of the Chinese army in India to the front line to replace the unreliable Indian army. As a result, although the Japanese offensive was temporarily contained, the most advantageous fighter plane was missed in vain, and the entire battle situation was turned into a face-to-face situation with the Japanese army.

If he had ignored the request of Lieutenant General Gifard, commander of the British 14th Army, but at the request of Lieutenant General Slim, commander of the 15th Army under the 14th Army. The Chinese garrison in India, which commanded the lightly armed British troops, advanced north of Kohima, into Myitkyina.

Not only can it reopen the ground access to China's external relations, but it can also directly threaten the flank and rear of the Japanese army that entered India. The Burma-Thailand railway is still under construction, and the total number of Japanese troops in Burma is still limited due to supply reasons. In this attack on India, there was only one division in northern Burma.

If they take advantage of the weakness, the lightly armed Chinese Expeditionary Force will penetrate directly into Myitkyina and outflank the attacking Japanese army. Then the Japanese would have to draw back at least a significant part of their forces from the Indian battlefield, unless they could accept the abandonment of northern Burma. Moreover, although the number of artillery pieces of more than 100 mm caliber in these two armies is not very large, there are only 12 guns in each army.

However, the number of 75 mountain guns and mortars of various calibers is quite sufficient. In particular, all infantry weapons have been replaced with American-made equipment. In addition to the whole training for more than half a year, there has been considerable progress in both tactics and equipment. To say that the equipment is incomplete refers to the lack of assault forces such as tanks, as well as a slight shortage of large-caliber artillery.

More than 30 American-made 105 howitzers and two 155 howitzer battalions, which were originally scheduled to be equipped for the Chinese Expeditionary Force, were privately withheld by the British army for their own use. Moreover, most of the equipment that was prepared for China's subsequent arrival in India to train the army was privately swallowed by the British army, not that the equipment of these two armies was too poor.

These two armies did not necessarily lack the ability to fight a war in the face of a division of the Japanese army distributed over a vast area from western Yunnan to northern Burma. And if the Japanese army were to reinforce northern Burma from the territory of Thailand, it would take at least two months. Even if the main Japanese army deployed in southern Burma and preparing to prevent the landing of American troops on the coast of Burma, it will not easily move north at this time.

Of course, this line has to climb a series of tropical rainforests in northern Myanmar, and once again cross the Kumen Ridge, known as the Savage Mountain. But the current situation is very different from when the expeditionary force retreated. The several hundred transport planes deployed by the US military in India can fully meet the air supply of the lightly armed troops of the two armies.

If he can coordinate the Chongqing side and launch a counterattack in western Yunnan at the same time, it is not hopeless that he can even recover the whole of northern Burma. I'm afraid that the Battle of Imphal will not collapse so quickly, at least the Japanese army in Burma will not advance westward so unscrupulously. However, he ignored the reality and only cared about the requirements of the British army, and consumed the mobile forces of the two armies little by little in the defensive battle on the high ground west of Imphal.

In the face of such a pig-like teammate, Yang Zhen was resolute that he would not even hand it over to him. No matter how many troops this kind of person gives them, they can only let them waste it in vain. Even though Yang Zhen admires the most now, he was ostracized and not trusted before, but he was the best Lieutenant General Slim among all the generals of the British army in the entire Burma campaign.

Now he has officially taken over as the commander of the 14th Army of the British Army, as well as the front-line operational command. But even from a purely military point of view, Yang Zhen would not hand over his troops to such a group of pig-like teammates. The guy in front of him, in addition to being very ambitious, his strategy, tactical cultivation and level can almost be described as clumsy.

In addition, he was too accommodating to the habits of the British, and the British have always been selfish, only caring about themselves and not caring about the lives of their allies. Block the eye-catching you go, and the soles of your feet are oiled and I go to the style. No matter how much pressure there is, Yang Zhen will not hand over any troops to them. Yang Zhen has only one attitude, if you block the eye-catching and go to whoever you like, I will never agree.

As for the guy who also had bad intentions, he swore that as long as three to five divisions of troops were transferred to India, he would be responsible for replacing all heavy weapons with American-made equipment.

Not to mention that Yang Zhen, who has now accepted that the Soviets have captured a large amount of equipment from the Stalingrad battlefield, nearly a thousand tanks, a large number of half-track armored vehicles, and various artillery, is not very interested in American-made ground equipment, and even if he has, he will not wipe his ass for this guy.

Although these equipment are currently in the process of dismantling the east wall and repairing the west wall, and the number of shells for large-caliber artillery is very small. However, with the addition of some equipment aided by the United States, after all, the current shortage of heavy equipment has been effectively compensated. After the maintenance of this batch of heavy equipment has been completed, the heavy equipment of the troops has basically been in a state of full load.

He didn't want to wade into this super muddy water at this time for the sake of those American-made equipment like pavilions in the sky. risking the impact of the domestic political earthquake and blocking the eyes of the United States and Britain. I don't want my troops to be wasted as sacrifices by others. If he could accept sending troops to India now, it would be better to directly agree to the request of the United States and Britain and transfer troops to Southeast Asia to assist in defense.

In this battle of Yunnan-Burma, among the three armies dispatched by the Chongqing side, the other two armies were indeed second-rate troops in terms of equipment and combat effectiveness. However, its main force, the Fifth Army, is the most elite army in the Central Army system, and it can even be said to be an army at the bottom of the box, and it is the only Soviet army equipped with mechanized troops.

The 200 divisions to which the army belongs are the elite of the central army system in Chongqing. Whether it is the allocation of firepower or the configuration of commanders at all levels, among the hundreds of divisions under the Chongqing side, it can be said that it is absolutely one of the best, and it can be called the first elite unit of the Central Army.

However, this most elite unit in Chongqing was not even saved by the brother in front of him and the British in the battle of Yunnan-Burma. A complete mechanized army, all the heavy equipment that was extremely lacking was lost, and the main force was almost all starved to death in the savage mountains, but Yang Zhen has been remembering that.

This guy has poor command ability, low eyesight and low master, plus too much ambition. Coupled with the scheming British, Yang Zhen will resolutely not go to this troubled water. His own capital is not thick, he does not have so much capital, so he and the British can squander it, even if the United States and Britain take the aid card.

In the face of this guy's chatter, coercion and temptation, Yang Zhen always left and right, did not give him any reply he wanted, and at most reluctantly agreed to study and study. As for when a result would be studied, Yang Zhen didn't give him any answer.

And for Yang Zhen's real thoughts, this research will definitely not end before the war. The Tai Chi pusher, which the Chinese are best at, is the best way to deal with this aggressive guy. Of course, Yang Zhen wants to be like last time, and it's not impossible to run this guy away. But that's just a last resort, and it's better not to do it as much as possible.

The last time Hopkins was there, it was also because of the special needs under the special situation that he had a fight with this guy. As for the moment, I can't afford to be angry with this guy. The tip of the needle is a means of mang, and it is better not to use it if it is not necessary.

Obviously, this guy was not satisfied with Yang Zhen's answer. But Yang Zhen has a resolute attitude, this matter needs to be considered in the long run, and it will be discussed after studying. As for nodding now, that's absolutely impossible. Sending troops outside the territory is a major event, and it will not work without a detailed plan and program. Research, research, has become Yang Zhen's best excuse.
