467 The turning point is emerging
Chu Tingchang judged that the target of the Japanese army's next key attack was likely to be India, and Nagaran and Imphal were also in chaos at present, and the British could only arm the locals to resist temporarily, which was simply drinking to quench their thirst, and Alexander was preparing to resign and leave this mess to his successor. He had been in Burma for several months, and it was clear that there was no doubt that the Yugoslav authorities had already put their hands in it, and that the defections before the war would surely happen one after another. Indians, Burmese, Bengalis, all unreliable, Nepalese mercenaries and unsuitable for any place with rivers, only the Kachin are good at mountain warfare and on the side of the British, but they are few in number and do not listen to commands.
For the allies as a whole, the best solution was to bring this whole new force to India, and the loss of weapons was secondary, because with the help of American and British industry, the troops could be quickly armed. On the Yunnan side, with the troops of Song Xilian and Wang Yaowu guarding, there was not much risk, but Chongqing panicked and felt that the Japanese would inevitably attack Chongqing from the south and east. If we judge only by distance, this is true, but if we consider the terrain, it is far more difficult for the Japanese to attack Chongqing from Burma to the north through southwest Yunnan than it is to enter the Shuo Jiangxi west.
Du Yuming walked into his tent with a sigh of sorrow, and what repeatedly appeared in his mind was the chairman's order to return to China. Lao Chiang reminded Du Yuming not to be mistaken by the short-sightedness of his subordinates, and not to be deceived by the exaggerated rhetoric of Britain and the United States, because the Chinese army wanted to defend China, not a British colony. It is necessary to quickly find a way back to China and thwart the Japanese army's plot to attack the north.
The guards came with hot water, scalded his feet, and then he lay down on the marching bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Explosions in the distance were heard from time to time, not the Japanese shelling, but their own destruction of the shells. Legend in the army said that Commander Du could recognize every cannon of the 5th Army, and what he said was true, at least 107 mm or more could be recognized. The German-made ones have been polished and rifled, but the Soviet-made cannons are still very useful, and he is really unwilling to destroy them in vain.
Thinking of the sore spot, he jerked over and got up, wanting to go out for a walk and look in the direction where the heavy artillery had been destroyed.
Du Yuming reached into his leather boots and stepped on something cold and slippery, and he kicked the boots away like an electric shock. In Myanmar, everyone should check their shoes and clothes when they get up, there are too many things about being bitten by snakes because of carelessness, but he did have some negligence, and quickly raised his leg to check, and saw two small tooth marks on his heels, which were bleeding.
The heel is perhaps the thickest part of human skin, not to mention, most snakes are not actually poisonous, and the one that bites Lieutenant General Alexander is not poisonous. He looked forward, and a tiny snake crawled out of its boot and in a blink of an eye burrowed out of the tent. He felt that his vision was a little blurry, and his chest was tight, obviously it was just a psychological effect, and the snake venom should not work so quickly.
Chu Tingchang sat on his bed and waited for something to happen, he was worried that the lazy little snake was not following his instinctive actions. He estimated that if something went wrong with Du Yuming, he would be one of the seven or eight people his guards would immediately find. Du Yuming's trust in himself has surpassed that of all the regiment commanders, and is almost the same as Dai Anlan or Liao Yaoxiang, but he actually blackmailed him?
Footsteps sounded outside the tent, and he expected it to finally happen. Hurry up and pretend to sleep.
"Chu Tuanza, Tuanza, Junzao, please." Someone shouted hurriedly outside, and the voice was very low.
"Where's the throne?" He vaguely agreed, as if reluctantly waking up from a dream.
"He ...... It's almost gone, and I want you to go to the meeting. ”
"What's going on? I'm going to ......" He tried to pretend to wake up suddenly, and sat up, so that it was natural, so that no one could see that he had foreseen that something was going to happen to the military seat.
70 kilometers away, Lin Xiuxuan also stayed awake all night, looking at a bright moon and thinking about the current situation. Now his special group has reached the most difficult moment, and the technological superiority that can be used to suppress the Japanese army is gradually lost, and only a few items such as night vision devices remain. He didn't even know what Ma Qiang would do to kill Du Yuming, because the distance of communication had become very unreliable in the mountains.
In fact, the crossing operation of 419 will soon reach its first anniversary, and if you look back on this time, he will find that he has gained the upper hand in most of the operations, such as repairing submarines under the nose of the enemy, constantly blocking the Japanese traversers, and even killing one of them, and the enemy does not even know that 419 exists.
But in the big picture, the Japanese traversers were clumsy, but still steadily achieving their goal, they had hit the oil in Daqing, so much so that they had freed up forces from Borneo, thereby increasing the Burmese offensive; The Burmese victory, in turn, led Asano's idea of further seizure of India to become more and more realistic. In the South Pacific, the Japanese abandoned most of the Solomon Islands, targeting New Guinea and Australia. Due to the unpredictable changes after the complex change of time and space, the German army still maintained an aggressive offensive in the Soviet Union, which is likely to make the Japanese base camp assess the situation and transfer the general reserve in the northeast to the direction they wanted to attack, rather than waiting for the new troops in the country to slowly complete their training. These changes made it possible for the Japanese to complete the occupation of eastern India and Australia in 1942, and then perhaps a more unpredictable domino effect, with perhaps Germany and Japan meeting in the Middle East. All the task force can do now is to keep the Indian base and the Hump route for the time being. When will you be able to free up your hands to hunt Makino?
There was the sound of mahjong next door, Zhou Youfu continued to kill in the damp cave, he brought the grassroots officers in, and through various methods of knocking on the side, he hinted to them that Chu Tingchang was still in the army, completely in control of everything, and of course he could win some money at the same time. At present, the morale of more than 2,000 people here is stable and ready to fight at any time.
The road in front of them was still controlled by the Japanese army, and sometimes some cars sent supplies from east to west, but the garrison was very small, mainly engineering troops, who repaired the road destroyed when Sun Liren left, and it was obvious that the Japanese army was already preparing for the Indian campaign and began to build a war readiness road. Lin Xiuxuan decided to let them cultivate, and they could easily take it over when the time came. All tanks and armored vehicles can still make one sortie, which is determined by the little fuel left. He waited for the expeditionary force to come back, and the north-south flank caught the enemy by surprise.
Chief Chu walked into Du Yuming's tent, he deliberately delayed the time, so he was not the first to arrive, and he could see the military commander lying there with a pale face, and the military doctor with a stethoscope shook his head on the side. But he couldn't immediately rush over in fear, and had to pretend to hear something from others before he could start acting.
"You can't tell what kind of poisonous snake it is based on the traces of this snake's teeth alone, have you seen what that snake looks like?" The medic asked.
"It's a krait, right? Very small, not much longer than the palm of the hand, with stripes on the body. The guard stammered.
"What, the military seat was bitten by a snake?" Chu Tingchang rushed over eagerly and grabbed the guard's collar. "What snake? Say it. ”
"I don't know what kind of snake got into the boots of the military seat...... It's all to blame for the negligence of the ......."
"What do you eat?" Chief Chu left his guards behind and turned to the military doctor.
"Doctor, quickly prescribe snake medicine to the military seat."
"How can this medicine be prescribed casually? There are hundreds of species of poisonous snakes in the world, and Myanmar has almost all of them. If you get the wrong shot, it's ......."
Over there, Du Yuming stretched out his hand and grabbed the deputy captain.
"Pavilion Chief, don't blame the guards...... I only blame myself for being negligent and not discovering that there is a vicious snake lurking around me......"
Chu Tingchang felt that Du Yuming's hand was getting tighter and tighter, and his psychology was up and down, these words just now seemed to mean something? Or is it just that you are too careful?
"Pavilion Chief, Yangong, I'm dying, while I still have the senses, I want to entrust you with one last thing......"
"Commander, you'll be fine......" Chu Aiyun sobbed. Dai Anlan also stepped aside, hanging his head and waiting for the commander's orders.
"You...... You guys help me put the team ...... Bring it back to China, remember, don't go to India. ”
After Du Yuming finished speaking, he suddenly lowered his hand. It seems to be gone.
Chu Tingchang hugged Du Yuming and howled, "Junzao, you can't go...... ......"He is not an actor, he howls a little stiffly, and he can't shed tears." I admired Xu Chong very much in my heart, and it seemed that the little snake he found was working.
"Slowly, slowly." The military doctor stopped Chu Tingchang from desperately dragging the sheet to Du Yuming's head, and he touched Du Yuming's neck artery.
"Don't worry, the military seat is still there, but the breath is faint, Chu Tuan Zhangzuo, and the officials, you'd better spread out and let the air flow."
"What? Still alive? Chu Tingchang stopped crying and looked at the doctor in confusion, "This is impossible?" ”
"It's true, it can be seen that the snake venom injection is not much, causing heart paralysis, I think, even if there is no snake medicine, it may not die immediately, the key is to see if you can survive the last 2 days."
"So, what else do you have to wait?" Chu Tingchang asked calmly.
"I see the life and death of the military seat, just in the last few days, but even if you get through, the coma time will not be short, at least seven or eight days."
Chu Tingchang thought to himself, seven or eight days is about enough, and by then the wood has been completed, and when he wakes up, he has no time to change anything.
30 minutes later, the senior officers of the expeditionary force sat in the command room together, most of them were smoking with their heads covered, the venue was full of smoke and miasma, and the officers were all depressed, they had just been driven by the Japanese for hundreds of miles, and they blew up heavy weapons.
"Since the military seat can't be in charge, let's talk about what to do next." Hu Xianqun, commander of the armored regiment, took the lead in speaking. Now that his equipment is completely destroyed and he has become the commander of the light pole, he seems to be the most concerned about Du Yuming's uncertain life and death.
"The military seat said to return home." Dai Anlan said calmly, "I was on the side at the time, and the pavilion chief should have heard it." ”
"I remember the military seat saying that it was important to bring the troops back safely. However, there was no mention of returning home immediately. Chu Tingchang immediately misinterpreted Du Yuming's original words.
"In any case, it is no longer possible to go to India, and I suggest that the whole army go east, open up with Zhang Lingfu of the 58th Division, and occupy the advantageous terrain of Songshan in order to counterattack in the future." Diane spoke out his plan.
"The tank artillery is gone, how can you fight back? Moreover, the American airdrop can feed half of his division, but it may not be able to feed so many of our troops here. ”

At the end of the month, I still have to go on a business trip, and it is inevitable that the update will not be timely, but it seems that this time it will not be long.
