South of Indo, Myanmar. Tao Mingzhang reported to Chu Tingchang, and the two had mixed feelings and shook hands tightly. Of course, the hostility is still serious, and there is no time to reminisce. The enemy was surrounding on all sides, and several thousand seriously wounded members of the expeditionary force were still waiting to retreat. At present, the situation has just opened, and there are still many difficulties in front of India.

The sporadic gunfire on the battlefield had also stopped, and only Japanese planes flew over incessantly to reconnoiter and count the number of expeditionary troops. Before the Japanese army perished, it was not much to gain by destroying weapons and cleaning up the battlefield, but the number of enemies destroyed in this battle was not small, mainly due to the power of howitzers and the low-standard positions dug by the 49th Division.

A rough estimate is to annihilate 3,000 people under 6 brigades of the enemy army. According to Tao Mingzhang's statistics, after the 18th Division entered Burma, it should have lost about 10,000 people. It's a pity that the division commander and command team ran away, and it can't be considered a total annihilation at this time. The 33rd Division of the Japanese Army lost its headquarters and lost about 15,000 people, and the 55th and 56th Divisions on the right flank also lost more than 3,000 people. And the composite regiment annihilated the enemy, the most conservative estimate is more than 6,000 people, which is simply an unbelievable number.

At this time, the soldiers of the synthetic regiment were strong and well-equipped, but Commander Chu changed to riding a horse.

Truck after truck arrived to the field hospital to receive the wounded. Dai Anlan never expected that the arrangement of the synthesis group was so careful, and he even thought of this, it seems that Chu Tingchang is not only able to fight, but also quite careful, he is simply a rare talent in the world. He recalled that the Chinese army had fought for so many years, when did it have the spare strength to take care of the seriously wounded? This time, what he saw, the battle, the transportation, the retreat, everything was in order, and it was commendable that it was still in a defeated military defeat.

According to Du Yuming's original plan, it was to send a * to everyone in the field hospital who could not leave, and then solve it by himself, so that there would be less drag, and the brothers would not fall into the hands of the Japanese and suffer, saying that he was vicious, in fact, was also a helpless move.

Commander Chu Ting reported the current situation and told him that there were a lot of cars and that there was still a shortage of drivers, so Dai Anlan hurriedly selected those who could drive from the army to accept the remaining cars, in addition to transporting the wounded, he could also transport some troops back and forth to the front.

The Tamanti Ferry and the Hormarin Iron Bridge on the banks of the Qingdun River have been controlled by the new 38th Division, and Sun Liren originally planned to cross the Qiaohe River and blow up these two facilities, but now Stilwell has given him a new task to defend the Qingdun River. Wait for the troops behind to arrive. The new 38th Division, while holding the bridge, holding back the Japanese troops, and monitoring the British troops in Impaire, seemed to have begun to block the border with barbed wire.

There was chaos in the headquarters of the 15th Army. The Chinese army escaped the pursuit and headed west, and the base camp was furious, and a call was sent to reprimand him, and it was a foregone conclusion that Iida would lose his position, and perhaps Kimura would soon be able to take his place. But the command must now think about how to resist the intact escape of the Chinese army to India. For the base camp, missing the rainy season is still a small matter, and the most hateful thing is the perfect victory in the Battle of Nanyang, which will leave blemishes here, especially for the Burma campaign, and at the expense of the Indonesian offensive.

The nervousness of the headquarters was quickly transmitted to Asano through Masanobu Tsuji. He began to walk around the room restlessly. For the first time in history, he found that his grasp of history had lost control. In the past, he had always regarded Makino as a symbol of pedantic, always a set of systematic analysis and preaching of uncontrollable historical disturbances, and in the past few months he began to dominate history, and everything was handy and under control, in fact, the only disturbance was that he was just joining a more compact schedule, and for the omnipotent Japanese soldiers, the pressure was more like a kind of motivation. With this simple thought, he never imagined that there would be such a big reversal situation as now. I don't know where the Chinese army came out of nowhere, suddenly broke through the defense of the 18th Division from behind, and there were all kinds of signs that the enemy of all people was going to turn to India next, and it was the historical trend that he tried his best to prevent. According to his known history, the Indo-Burmese counteroffensive would take place in 44 years for China to airlift the student army to India for training, but if the main force of the expeditionary force had driven directly over, the Allies would have gained the counterattack force almost a few months later.

He couldn't help but recall that Makino always mentioned that he wanted to be in awe of historical disturbances, and he was actually right by him?

"What do you think next? If they fled all the way to India and received American equipment, it would not be easy. ”

Masanobu Tsuji asked, he didn't care about how many people he had lost, and his mind was full of imperial expansion.

"Then there's only one way......" Asano slapped his thigh.

"Oh, say it."

"Abandon the attack on Midway, transfer the main forces of the Combined Fleet, regain control of the Bay of Bengal, conduct an amphibious assault at Chittagong, and take down the East Indies in one fell swoop."

His idea was almost typical of the military's idea, to make up for a previous loss with a bigger gamble.

"Are you kidding? Masanobu Tsuji was also taken aback, this plan was so bold that he also felt that it was not feasible. "Indian troops in Chittagong and Kolkata have been redeployed to Egypt and Iraq, and the original plan to provoke the Indians to revolt is no longer feasible."

Staff Officer Tsuji said that this was indeed the case, and the British were not so stupid as to fall down many times in a row in a pit, and they made effective moves, transferring unreliable Indians to other battlefields, and mobilizing troops from other areas here.

Keiji Suzuki, who had been sitting on the side and smoking violently without speaking, frowned, as if he had something to say, but he didn't say anything.

"Then let the 31st Division desperately block them. Also, let the Ministry of Aviation try to blow up the bridge over the Siddang River. Asano said.

"Of course, there will be deployments, but ...... The worst-case scenario must be taken into account. ”

There was silence in the smoky room, and no one said anything for a long time.

"364 Engineer Regiment." Keiji Suzuki said suddenly.

"What?"

"The U.S. military sent to Burma to replace the Punjab Wing is the 364th Regiment." Suzuki repeated.

"So what?" Masanobu Tsuji couldn't understand the intrinsic meaning of this number.

"It was a black regiment. This is the information we get from the Canaris system. German intelligence had to be in the regiment. ”

“…… They are, after all, Americans, and it is impossible for them to oppose the US government. ”

"Not necessarily, 60 people were shot dead during the 364th Regiment during training at training camp in Mississippi for protesting apartheid policies. After that, there were several black officers who established contacts with German intelligence. ”

Suzuki said slowly, it didn't seem to be a whim, but he had been planning for a long time, and he just said it in advance today.

"Blacks defect to the Germans?" This time, Asano was also a little confused.

"Yes, Anglo-American butts are not clean, so how do they change manpower, we still have a chance to sabotage it. In addition, the Congress of the East Indies could revolt at any time, and although they were not regular soldiers, many of them were retired soldiers from the colonial army. All it takes is a spark to ignite this pile of dry wood. ”

"Yes, as long as they incite the resistance of their local people, they can expel the white forces and the accomplices of the Chinese, and I think that in the original history, we just ignored the power of this national resistance."

Asano immediately fell to Suzuki and seemed to have found a lifesaver.

On the road leading to Gariva, the convoy sped by, and the infantry on the vehicle did not pay attention to the chemically contaminated area, but the infantry on the vehicle still needed to wear gas masks, and the army still on foot bypassed the area according to the roads provided by Lin Linqi. In case of contact with dirty water there.

As soon as Tao Mingzhang had the opportunity, he excitedly recommended Lin Linqi to Chief Chu Ting, and he firmly believed that if Chu Tuanzhang could chat with Captain Lin a few more words, he would definitely see each other too late. He was open-minded and did not consider that his position in the synthetic regiment might be replaced by Captain Lin, and he was bent on promoting the cooperation between Chu Tingchang and Lin Linqi. He felt that if the two of them were in charge of the army together, then there was no Japanese unit that could not be defeated.

But things are not as simple as he thinks. Chu Tingchang heard him praise Lin Linqi a lot, and his face showed a look of disbelief.

"What is like a god is just a simple analysis. If I were on the scene, I would have handled it better, how could Zhou Youfu come and make such a large area a forbidden area? Chu Tingchang said coldly.

"Captain Lin is not easy, you also know Zhou Youfu's problems, bandits have a very strong habit, and no one can control him."

Tao Mingzhang exonerated Lin a few words, and by the way, he sued Lao Zhou.

"I advise you, don't get too close to this surnamed Lin. I always felt that something was wrong with him. If it weren't for the radio station, I would have sent a telegram to the military commander to verify his identity. ”

"Regiment Commander, you must have listened to someone's nonsense, there is no matter, Captain Lin is absolutely reliable."

"Okay, you hurry up and get in the car to the front and stare at it, there is still the 31st Division in front of you, and find a way to get in touch with the new 38th Division. It would be better to send a liaison through the enemy's lines to coordinate it. This way we can play another two-sided pinch. ”

"Tuanza, we sheltered some British sappers a few days ago, and they said that the bridge on the Qingdun River has a weight limit of 20 tons. I calculated if those tanks of ours dismantled the turrets...... Maybe ......"

"Don't be, you can't take this risk, the tank will blow up then."

"Blow it up?" Tao Mingzhang's face was incredible.

"Didn't you hear Brooke boast about their country's production capacity? They build tanks faster than we can make roast duck, and I'm thinking about making you the commander of a tank battalion. ”

Chu Tingchang casually appeased Tao Mingzhang and asked Tao Mingzhang to leave quickly.

Tao Mingzhang didn't know if the American man-made tank was really just like playing, so he withdrew from the rear drive car to catch up with Lin Linqi at the front, preparing for the last battle. It seems that there is a distance between his thoughts and reality, and Chu Tuanzhang is not friendly to Lin Linqi. Keeping a hand on those who are capable, of course, is also common in the army, but unfortunately Commander Chu is not exempt from vulgarity. Of course he didn't know that Chu Tingchang was already preparing to clean himself up later, and Chu had already sent a message to the communications unit of the expeditionary force to verify Lin Linqi's identity, of course he knew that Dai Anlan asked for silence, so the message could not be sent immediately, and when Lin Xiuxuan got out, this message would be able to clear himself. For a young man with progressive ideas like Tao Mingzhang, pushing him to the top of the expeditionary force is in Lin's vision, which also needs to be carried out quietly in the future.
