When he came in just now, he had already glanced at the sand table, on which the enemy situation and the starting point of the British were marked, he could guess the thoughts of the British, and he could also see that they did not have a detailed grasp of the imminent formation of the Japanese army, obviously they did not intend to launch a turning point in World War II, and really tried to recover the gold through a small-scale battle. Three years of Bangladesh's tax dollars were still quite weighty for the British Empire in the quagmire of war.

However, he had a different idea, since the Battle of Stalingrad and the Battle of Midway did not happen, why not take advantage of the situation and turn the situation around here and annihilate a division of the enemy? Of course, I don't know if I can do it, but at least I can have a counterattack and catch the enemy off guard. With the technical support of 419 behind him and a group of brethren with high morale, if he can make some contribution to turning the tide of the whole world war, at least in boosting confidence, it is obviously more valuable than the small abacus of the British.

He was in Burma, contributed a Japanese lieutenant general's head, but unfortunately later he was defeated, and did not completely annihilate the establishment of the Japanese army, 419 used nuclear bombs to eliminate nearly an entire division, but it could not be used for propaganda, and now the base camp is in the Kanto region, and the first division was secretly reorganized.

He hadn't reported the whole thing to 419, he didn't expect anything to object, the closer the war was to the sea, the more 419 could help, unlike the terrain of Burma, if it was really dragged down by the British and retreated into the interior of India, 419 would not be able to help, of course, the timing was a little too early, and his and Sun's troops had not yet been reorganized to the size of an army each. Although the U.S. military promised a division at the meeting, he knew that it would eventually be much larger than that.

"Division Commander Chu, your troops will repair for three days, and then set off from here, fight to the outskirts of Calcutta, organize a defense in the northeast direction, and don't let the enemy who goes out come back."

"Your people are in charge of urban operations?"

Chu Tingchang asked.

"Yes, I deployed 2 brigades of troops to fight in the city. It will let the enemy know our strength, and from now on he will not dare to act rashly. ”

"Oh?" Chu Tingchang nodded with some doubts, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and it is indeed the most abnormal thing in the world for the British to rush to gnaw bones, but Chu Tingchang doesn't need to guess why, he just needs to pretend to be confused.

"But Your Excellency, you don't have that many troops right now."

"So let your troops repair for a few days first, and I'll have new troops soon."

"Soon?"

"Yes, it is being transported by sea and rail."

"Troops in the Middle East?"

"Yes, we spy on Turkey with nine brigades on the line from the Mediterranean to Mosul, and now it seems that such idle forces in wartime are simply a crime," Vivel said with a smile, "Actually, three brigades are enough to spy on Turkey, and they simply have no time to attack us." ”

Sure enough, it was Turkey's attack that completely exposed his incompetence, he thought that the Soviet Union and Britain were already in the middle of the summer, and he could take the opportunity to start and reap the benefits, but unexpectedly, the troops armed with German equipment were far from being the opponent of the 200 T26s put together by the Soviet Union, and if he did not come to such a ridiculous attack, the strategic significance to the Axis countries would obviously be greater, because more troops could be contained.

He looked at the map according to the British campaign, and there were some obvious errors in the annotations, such as the fact that they did not know that the 2nd Division was followed by the 18th Division, which would land at Chittagong and Kolkata, and then the 31st and 15th Divisions that would land along the Ganges. At that time, the number of Japanese troops landing will increase to 70,000 or 80,000. Obviously, Vivier's military speculation was based on the intelligence that the enemy would only have 15,000 to 30,000 people ashore, and if there were too many enemies, he would not dare to move. These are what 419 knows by eavesdropping on the Japanese radio. The Japanese Army's sense of secrecy is not as strong as that of the Navy, and although it knows that it does not talk about troop deployment, it will be able to sort out enough information through the radio station in some details, such as the baggage routes of various units, the setting up of repair shops and sick horse factories, and the location of the commander's camp after landing. Now Qin Xiaosu is just this, and his efficiency is definitely better than that of the entire British intelligence agency.

The three brigades of the British army, plus one division of their own, can make up 2 to 30,000 people, and the strength is somewhat stretched, but it has an absolute advantage in firepower, and the Japanese army will not have any heavy weapons when it first comes ashore. If you don't count the enemy's two battleships. 419 surveillance found that the two King Kong-class ships were wandering in the open sea at the moment, and now they were showing off their might along the east coast of India, shelling coastal forts from time to time.

"My troops don't need to wait for three days, they can start early."

"In advance?"

"Yes, I need your artillery support that can maneuver on the railroad, the more the better. And your air force cover. ”

"If you use so much equipment, will it attract the attention of the Japanese?"

"This is a war, how can it not attract the attention of the opponent?" Chu Tingchang turned to Vivier, with a kind of attention to the idiot's gaze, looking up and down at the other party, of course everything is acting for him, he must take a professional soldier who does not know the thoughts of the British flies and dogs, as soon as he hears such absurd remarks, the first exaggerated reaction is good, otherwise it will seem that he has a ghost, "Your Excellency the Governor, we must do our best, the East Indies are too vast, it is impossible to form a complete defense line and there will be no stalemate, we still have mountains to rely on to defend against the Japanese in China, But the undulations of the terrain here are not enough, and the rivers are not our friends who block the Japanese, on the contrary, the Japanese are very good at using the rivers to transport soldiers and baggage, I hope you understand my thoughts. ”

Chief Chu Tingchang instilled military common sense in an imperial soldier with decades of military experience and white hair, and if it were not for the rush to use this Chinese who held military power, Vivier would have left long ago.

"Just do what you want. I will fully cooperate. The Governor said coldly, he was worried just now that this bargaining fellow would not go against the grain, but now he suddenly found that his intentions seemed to be very large, and he would not withdraw after a fight. I knew that he wanted to fight so much, even if he didn't give him equipment, he should be able to negotiate. It's a pity.

"I'm going to prepare. Within 10 days, there will be six more seven battalions here, which can be continuously engaged in follow-up battles. While we still have the advantage of troops, we can't delay. ”

Chu Tingchang said and turned to leave, Vivier was a little troubled, this guy was still thinking about the follow-up battle, and his excavation vehicle was still on the way.

After leaving the headquarters, Chu immediately went to the train station to pick up his troops, thinking about how to report the matter of the Bank of Calcutta to 419, which had been concealed. Lin can grab gold in Shanghai, so it shouldn't be a problem to do it himself, right? It's just a little bit more numerous.

On the platform, the additional troops of the 200th Division were arriving in batches. Many local idlers stood barefoot on the nearby hillside to watch, and they didn't know how many Japanese spies were mixed in to gather intelligence, and the British drove them away from time to time, but after a while, they gathered together again. It doesn't look like there's much secrecy to talk about.

He looked at his watch, Zhou Youfu and the captain's armored train was almost there, the guard company looked into the distance, and a few kilometers away a stream of water vapor was approaching, and it could be seen that it was being pulled by an armored train with a turret. It's that train. Chu Tingchang hurriedly straightened his clothes and went to pick up people, this set of officialdom rules of the party-state still has to be a foot show, no matter what kind of waste it is, he can't slack off. I don't know what the negative impact will be on the next battle.

He used * to drive the surrounding people away again, but there were still many local porters in the station to help carry the ordnance.

He got out of the car and walked onto the platform. The train braked and slowly approached. The first few rows of guards stood on both sides, and a long series of stuffy tankers behind them were all locked from the outside, so that the soldiers would not be allowed to come down first. However, many soldiers inside recognized Chu Tingchang, and they reached out from the air window to knock on the kettle lunch box and greet him.

In the front carriage, Zhou Youfu jumped down and stood respectfully with the guards. Chief Chu led a group of people to greet him, and saw a weak officer wearing glasses and a major general walking down.

Chu Tingchang didn't recognize this, but greeting was naturally a basic skill, so he went up to salute.

"This is a senior member of the National Defense Research Institute from Chongqing, Major General Guo Rugui." Zhou Youfu introduced on the side.

"Battalion Commander Zhou, don't talk nonsense, where is the big man, it's just that the president heard that Master Chu led the troops in a good way, and used the soldiers like a god, so he sent someone Guo to study and study."

Guo Rugui said and stretched out his hand to shake hands warmly with Chu Tingchang, his face full of piety and laughter.

"It turned out to be Commissioner Guo, and I have admired it for a long time." Chu Tingchang's heart was churning, he really admired it for a long time, he hated Zhou Youfu for not sending his name in advance, so that he could be mentally prepared, at least he could contact 419 first, but it was his own rule not to report his name in the telegram to prevent leakage.

"Recently, I saw that Master Chu is really a young talent, and he really deserves the name of the contemporary champion Hou."

"Chu didn't win a single victory, but he was lucky enough to withdraw the whole division to India, how could He De be tied with Huo Quai, and rush to the Lao Research Institute to study tactics?"

"Hey, how can I say that I didn't win a victory, although strategically, our army is still moving in, but I read the report written by the American Brooke on the transfer of war in northern Burma...... sigh, true god man, it is not a loss to the first person in mobile combat in our army. ”

"How dare you, it's just that the Japanese army pursued too fast, and the air raid between friends and neighbors was huge, and Chu saw through it......"

The two of them complimented and politely walked out of the platform holding hands, where a jeep was waiting, and when the two got into the car, they left on the road.

The soldiers on the train behind were all crowded in the stuffy tank carriage, and someone saw Chu Tingchang through the narrow window.

"Look, that's Master Chu, I fought side by side with him in northern Myanmar."

"Where?" The people behind squeezed over to see the demeanor of Master Chu, whether it was a fairy wind, shaking a feather fan in his hand.

The non-commissioned officers came, opened the outside padlocks, put the soldiers down, and then lined up for the British field canteen.
