Chandrabose nodded slightly to Suzuki, and the two tacitly confessed their wolf ambitions to each other.

Obviously, the next target of the Japanese Empire was India. If the Japanese invaded India now, it might be able to immediately trigger an uprising of the Indian people and drive out the British forces in one fell swoop, and the Indian elite had already seen through the foreign power of the British Empire. Are the British sitting on a volcano, it only takes one spark to ignite the wrath of the Indians; No. 14 Hassan, after the First World War, Britain has been relying on bluffs to maintain its colonial rule in Asia, even if there is no Japanese army. What Suzuki needs to think about is how to make a Mars so that the situation is most favorable to Japan, and he really needs Kagesa to show up. Although he heard that he was absent from the latest military meeting, the newly arrived commander Kimura made a lot of nonsense about Kagesa Zhenzhao, believing that there was no precedent for Japanese generals to be captured, so Kagesa had better take the blame and commit suicide, Suzuki felt that Kagesa would definitely play a greater role.

Forty kilometers southeast of Tamanti, Chu Tingchang received a telegram directly from Stilwell, which was not a normal way of command. Even if the composite regiment often fought independently, the command belonged to the Fifth Army. But at this moment, the expeditionary force was once again faced with the wounding of the senior commander and the confusion of the command, and Stilwell took the opportunity to reach into the synthetic regiment, in which he had already driven a wedge and sent his son-in-law in. He hoped that Chu Tingchang would not cross the river, but stay east of the river to cooperate with a small counterattack by a British colonel, he did not mention the colonel's name, but Chu Tingchang knew that it was Wingate. The second requirement is that when retreating, the Tamante Bridge will be destroyed, and the piers must be blown up together, and it seems that Britain and the United States do not intend to fight back in a short time.

Unable to pass through the bridge, the Composite Tank deployed defenses near the bridge, watched the expeditionary force trucks pass by in waves, dropped the soldiers and returned.

After the defeat of the war, China, the United States and Britain returned to the illusion of a family a few months ago. The British opened their warehouses to provide supplies (of course, they must have hidden a number of military stations on the map) and built well-equipped field hospitals on the border to save the wounded Chinese. The high humidity and high temperature environment here made wound healing very dependent on antibiotics, and many minor wound infections eventually led to death, and now the Americans have airlifted penicillin.

It is said that the pragmatic General Slim has come to the border and succeeded Alexander from his authority. But the general realized that he did not have an army and still had to rely on the Chinese army at the moment.

In order to prevent the Indian rebellion, the command made the move to transfer several Indian divisions, no matter how it is evaluated, it is worth it, of course, this makes the border defense force seriously damaged, at present, the Allies only have a broken Anglo-Burmese division and a broken 7th armored brigade here, and the US army has 2 black regiments, but they are all engineering regiments responsible for the construction of aircraft roads, and the combat training is insufficient.

For Slim, in addition to the outstanding combat effectiveness of the Chinese army, the second thing that was gratifying was that Vivier assured him that he had sent a special unit, the 77th Brigade, under the command of an arrogant officer who had slaughtered Arabs in Palestine and buried Italian prisoners of war alive in Ethiopia. Slim had never met Colonel Wingate, but he had heard that he was good at striking from behind and attacking from behind, and the Indian Governor-General, Vivier, assured him that Wingate was the kind of man who was born for war. Since the Axis military bloc was full of madmen, the Allies had to have a few of them. However, the 77th Brigade is still only a unit on paper, and currently has only one command, consisting of 2 British companies and the Gurkha battalion, less than a thousand people, not the four thousand that Vivel assured.

With Burma's 700-kilometre-long Anglo-Burmese border, Slim knew that there would not be enough troops and time to deploy to defend such a vast area, not to mention the possibility of Japanese troops landing along the coastline of the Bay of Bengal. In the battle to capture Major General Kage Satsuki alive, he saw the effectiveness of special operations behind enemy lines, and he hoped to immediately throw these 1,000 men into battle, hoping to hold back 10,000 Japanese troops. Meteorological and hydrological experts from the US military have assessed the timing of this year's flood season and believe that it will take about half a month later than in previous years. If, during this time, the Japanese army builds a bridgehead on the west bank of the Xitang River, it will play a great role in containing the forces for the landing operation behind their flank.

Messages wafting over the Pacific about the lack of fresh water at Midway Island, and the U.S. military sent such messages in succession in several bands and slightly different wordings, seemingly fearing that the Japanese would not take the bait, so much so that 419, far away in the Bay of Bengal, intercepted as many as four times. This was a drama of the Americans inviting the gentleman into the urn, but they did not receive a telegram from the Japanese army containing the AF code. Cheng Dayang thought, maybe the frequency band used by the Japanese is not scattered in the ionosphere, and travels too far? Or because Asano wasn't around, it wasn't highly recommended that Yamamoto arrange a strategy that would be counted all at once? Cheng Dayang estimated that Asano, as a history buff, would definitely not give up such an opportunity, maybe after the last lure enemy battle was stirred up by himself, Yamamoto didn't want to listen to his strategy anymore?

When the Japanese travelers came to this era, they were just a few homeless people who almost drowned, but now the earth-shattering waves that have stirred up have made history confusing. Almost already making it difficult for the fully equipped 419 to cope. Now it seems that the task of saving the expeditionary force and saving Assam is more important.

419's two drones alternated almost seamlessly, staying in the air as much as possible to monitor the movements of the Japanese army in order to ensure that the expeditionary force could hold northern India. The most powerful fleet in the world held by Yamamoto once again began to be silent, which made it impossible for 419 to grasp its movements.

The Allies searched for the location of this fleet in their respective ranges, from the Aleutian Islands to Midway, from the Solomon to Australia, the Allied submarines and planes searched the Yamamoto fleet, and there were some half-clawed discoveries everywhere, and the Allies communicated through telecommunications, so that 419 could at least use the results of the Allied reconnaissance, but all the reconnaissance found more or less signs of the Japanese fleet in various areas, according to which it was judged that the Japanese fleet was likely to be scattered at present, But the very fact that the Japanese fleet had maintained strict radio silence was a harbinger of great operations, each of which amassed a large force and created the illusion of dispersion.

Chief Chu's cavalry team braved the heavy rain to come to the headquarters near the Qindun River Bridge, and Brooke had already arrived here. The thunder in the sky drowned out the sound of southern artillery fire. He had just received the news that Dai Anlan had been seriously injured in a sneak attack, but fortunately, at the beginning of the evacuation operation, Dai Anlan had already anticipated the command problem and entrusted the command deployment in advance, and each unit knew under what circumstances and how to act. At the moment, the enemy's counterattack at various stages was repulsed several times by the new 22nd and new 38th divisions, and the road to India for withdrawal remained open. Sappers have already laid * on the piers, enough to blow up the mountain bridge seven or eight times.

The rain clouds blocked the reconnaissance of the high-altitude drone, Chu Tingchang did not know the current movement of the enemy, he expected that it should be night when the rain stopped, if the Japanese army used the primitive jungle to march, the huge canopy would obscure the heat signature, and it would be difficult for the drone's thermal imaging equipment to detect signs of its action. In the second half of the night, the enemy might rush around and attack, and this was his concern. The Japanese army had the initiative to fight on its own and relied very little on command and logistics, which was undoubtedly absent from the Allies.

Zhou Youfu reported a strange thing through the radio, the engineer captain was missing, he said that someone saw him leaving the team on a bicycle alone, and said that he was going to reconnoitre, but he did not come back, he was worried that he might get lost, and he was even more worried that if he fell into the hands of the locals, he might be lit with a sky lantern. He wanted to send a platoon to a nearby village to find out. It seems that Lao Zhou is quite friendly.

Commander Chu immediately scolded him on the radio for not knowing the severity of the matter, and making a big move, so that he quickly shrunk his troops and moved closer to him, the situation in this ghost place in Myanmar is complicated, and the army commander can let the snake bite, and it is fresh to lose a captain?

Zhou Youfu did not dare to disobey the will of Chu Tingchang, his reconnaissance unit quickly joined Chu Ting, ready to defend the bridge, it was late at this time, the bridge was brightly lit, to show the troops the way, because the rainy day Japanese planes could not be dispatched, so the bridge dared to turn on the lights.

The expeditionary force could be seen driving on the right, clashing with a group of British infantry coming in the opposite direction, because they were accustomed to following the left side and carrying supplies in the ranks, and some mules did not like the headlights and made noise on the bridge.

"Tuanza, the sun is rising in the west, and the British are back?" Zhou Youfu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It's been more than half a month, and I haven't seen these dogs walking back and forth every day." ”

"This is the special forces of the British."

"Special forces? What are Special Forces? ”

Chu Tingchang realized that there was some leakage, Zhou Youfu didn't know the term special forces, and Wingate's dispatch was still a military secret, but a small mistake should not be a big problem.

"It's a unit that specializes in assassination behind enemy lines and explosives."

"Hey, isn't that as virtuous as the Tubalu guerrillas on Taihang Mountain?"

"It's really a bit similar, but the Eighth Route Army relies on the support of the people, they can't do it, they have to have material and intelligence support, for example, the Americans will regularly airdrop supplies."

"Danza, you mean airdrop in the forest? Are Americans fed? ”

A group of British soldiers in raincoats passed in front of the Synthetic Regiment tanks, probably surprised that someone could bring the tanks here, and they leaned in and slapped Grant's armor one after another.

A soaking wet British colonel walked to the door of the headquarters, and Chief Chu greeted him.

"This is Colonel Wingate, and he wants to pay a visit to Major Chu." The translator stammered.

"I'm Major Chu," Chu Tingchang, who spoke English well with a slight Hokkien accent, squeezed the interpreter aside, shook Wingate's hand, and spoke directly.

"Long story short, I think you know what I mean, I have to give the enemy logistics a little blow, make them stop, I would like to know the situation of the Japanese army in the south, my staff officer did not prepare the map, and my superiors sent me to you." Wingate said.

"The idea of your superiors is no longer feasible, the Japanese have scattered their troops, and there is no complete supply line to attack you." Chu Tingchang said that this is the latest order of the 419th Army Headquarters that he heard, requiring that it be broken into parts, only take a few days of dry food to operate, and do everything possible to block the enemy's retreat.

"On such terrain, scatter the troops? Don't have logistics yet? ”

"Yes, probably in small squads, bypassing our main line of defense from the forest. The nearest Araki detachment should have arrived at the side. There will be an attack tonight. And then they would launch a continuous offensive in this way, with infantry and cavalry of the 18th and 55th divisions, artillery of the 31st division. A bite is a bite. I think you also know that last night one of our division commanders was stabbed, and this is the Japanese army. ”
