Chapter 190 Stilwell is preparing to go alone! (Second update!)
"General Stilwell, the war is not over. Where will you put the British Empire if you do this?" Admiral Wavell said angrily.
Hearing this, Stilwell laughed directly.
Sure enough, what Cun Yunsheng said was right, the British army was really shameless.
“General Wavell, I should be asking you, where do you place the interests of the United States of America?”
"Originally, the Sichuan Army could take Mandalay and completely relieve the crisis in Imphal. But what happened? You asked them not to go south, and now they have done it."
“Mandalay is still in the hands of the Japanese army, but where is the Japanese army? They marched directly westward and have already entered Tianzhu.”
“If you had listened to me earlier, the current situation might not be so corrupt.”
“We may even end this war early.”
“Aren’t these all your responsibilities?”
“At this time, have you considered the interests of the United States?”
“Not to mention, those resistance forces, which are just a group of indigenous people, what do they have to do with the Sichuan Army?”
Admiral Wavell, who was directly opposed by Stilwell, had nothing to say.
He has always worked hard to maintain the dignity and interests of the British Empire.
It is true that the interests of the United States have not been considered.
After all, in his eyes, the United States has already gained a lot of benefits.
Even enough to feed each other.
But he underestimated the other party’s ambition.
Obviously, America wants more.
Or rather, the entire Far East.
Thinking of this, Admiral Wavell even missed Chamberlain a little.
Although they have always adopted a policy of appeasement, they have maintained the dignity and interests of the British Empire.
Unlike now, the dignity and interests of the British Empire are gradually being torn away.
Even, he suspected that why the Japanese army suddenly abandoned Imphal and attacked the west might have something to do with Stilwell.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the New First Army's attack speed would be so slow.
Either they are acclimatized, or their non-combat casualties are severe.
We can only advance dozens of miles in one day, otherwise we will have insufficient supplies.
This made Admiral Wavell very angry, and he even suspected that Stilwell was responsible for it.
Stilwell did not admit this, but said he would investigate.
But now that he had this telegram, he even felt that he could bring back the New First Army.
Cooperate with the Sichuan Army to capture the entire Southeast Asia.
Attack the Leizhou Peninsula and Luzon all the way from Annan.
Going all the way south from Siam, they attacked the Singapore area.
Cooperating with the main force in the Pacific, it is fully capable of annihilating the Japanese army in Southeast Asia.
This is Stilwell’s confidence.
Otherwise, it will be the same as before, being led by the British army, without any independence.
"General Stilwell, I will convey your words to Downing Street, but now please let those rebels leave Yangon." Admiral Wavell took a deep breath and said.
It is not the time to fall out with him yet, we must wait until the war is over.
It’s a pity that Stilwell didn’t like him at all.
"General Wavell, you need to understand one thing, that is, these are resistance forces composed of indigenous people. They are not under my control, nor are they under the jurisdiction of the Sichuan Army. It is their freedom to attack wherever they want, and I have no right to interfere. "Stilwell's faint words made General Wavell furious.
If anyone else had spoken to him like this, they would have slapped him in the face.
I'm sorry, the other party is Stilwell, he doesn't dare at all.
Now the British army is still counting on the assistance of the US military.
This is the confidence brought by strength.
"Asshole..." Admiral Wavell was about to speak when he saw Stilwell's warning look.
“I hope General Stilwell will remember what he said today.”
After speaking, he slammed the door and left without waiting for Stilwell to speak.
After the other party left, the adjutant dared to say anxiously.
“General Stilwell, you have offended General Wavell so much, aren’t you afraid that he will sue you?”
Who knows, Stilwell didn't care.
“He wouldn’t dare.”
After finishing speaking, he added another sentence.
“Transfer the New First Army back and continue to complete the new reorganization.”
"Huh?" The adjutant was stunned. If the new army was sent back at this time, the British army would definitely go crazy.
With no worries, the Japanese army may do even crazier things.
"What are you worried about? What Admiral Wavell said is right. It is their colony. The British Empire will solve any problems by itself. What I have to do is to fulfill the duties of the Chief of Staff of the Southeast Asian Theater." Stilwell Said nonchalantly.
Before, I was restricted by the British army in various ways, so I was not so strong in speaking. But now it is different.
He can speak loudly.
There is no need to look at the British army's face to act.
"Go ahead and send a telegram to the New First Army, asking them to withdraw immediately and continue reorganization. In addition, the hump route can be cancelled. It's time to restore the China-Myanmar Highway." Stilwell said ambitiously.
“General Stilwell, are you canceling air shipping?” the adjutant asked in surprise.
"That's right, now that the China-Myanmar highway is open again, supplies can be transported to mountain towns by land. There is no need to waste aviation fuel and our precious pilots." Stilwell nodded and said.
“Transport our precious supplies to the front line to ensure the supply of supplies to the frontline soldiers, so that they can drive away the Japanese army as soon as possible.”
“Yes.” The adjutant responded quickly.
On the other side, Zheng Dongguo, the commander of the New First Army who received the order, looked at the telegram in his hand in confusion.
Why did you withdraw it again?
Want to continue adapting?
They were only three days away from the Japanese army.
Had it not been for the severe attrition of the newly formed Thirty-Eighth Division, he would have caught up long ago.
Just withdraw now, won’t the British be angry?
These guys are much more difficult to deal with than the Yankees.
After all, he clearly remembered what He Yingqin told him.
Americans are too arrogant, and the British are very cunning. Once you get there, you have to tread carefully.
"Military seat? Shall we withdraw?" Sun Liren, deputy army commander and commander of the new 38th Division, said.
He now admired Cun Yunsheng.
These British soldiers are really a bunch of bastards.
Since setting off from Imphal, I have urged them several times.
Every time he was rejected by him for various reasons such as being incompatible with the local environment.
For this reason, he was under a lot of pressure.
Now that I have received this telegram, it proves that what Cun Yunsheng said at the beginning is correct.
Neither the British army nor the Japanese army are good people. Wouldn't it be better to let them eat dog?
“Can your new thirty-eighth division be withdrawn?” Zheng Dongguo asked with a half-smile. Actually, he probably guessed something.
Because someone told him that Cun Yunsheng had been to the headquarters of the 38th New Division.
After that, Sun Liren began to shirk the marching speed for various reasons.
Combined with the telegram in hand, it is not difficult to deduce that some major changes must have occurred, causing Stilwell to change his strategy.
No longer care about the corrupt situation of the British army.
In fact, Zheng Dongguo also didn’t understand why the British army couldn’t stop the tens of thousands of Japanese troops?
This is not scientific at all.
The British army is the world's most powerful country.
However, what the British army did did not deserve this title at all.
"Yes, they have had enough of this **** rain forest for a long time." Sun Liren said awkwardly.
He also guessed it, and I guess Zheng Dongguo should also have seen something.
But as long as he doesn't admit it, everything has nothing to do with him.
“Then withdraw, and leave those headaches to Stilwell to solve. After all, we are also nominally under the command of the Allied Forces Command.” Zheng Dongguo said meaningfully.
Only Liao Yaoxiang on the side curled his lips. Although they were both commanded by the Allied Forces Headquarters, their treatment was completely different.
They have planes, tanks and cannons!
They haven’t completed the reorganization yet.
The news of the retreat of the New First Army soon reached the ears of Mutaguchi Lianye.
"What did you say? The New First Army behind him retreated?" In the past few days, Mutaguchi Lian could not sleep well or eat well, and the front battlefield was held back by the British army.
There is a new army coming from behind. If you are not careful, the whole army will be annihilated.
Unexpectedly, the soldier in charge of the reconnaissance told him that the new army chasing them was packing their bags and choosing to retreat.
At this moment, Mutaguchi Lian's tense expression finally let out a sigh of relief.
Thinking of this, Mutaguchi Lian looked at the map, and then said through gritted teeth.
“Originally we had to guard against the pursuing enemy, but now that there are no pursuers, the troops at the rear can withdraw, let them join the battlefield, and strive to capture the British position within one day.”
“Hai.”
…
Kunming, in the library of Southwest Associated University, several students are looking down at books.
Thanks to the large amount of rice on the KM market during this period, these students finally don’t have to go hungry to read.
Before, I drank cold water when I was hungry, and then continued reading when I was full.
Although the supplies are not that abundant now, at least we can have a full stomach.
These students knew that all the rice came from the south.
Although the price of these rice is relatively high, it is not necessarily possible to buy food these days even if you have money.
The policy implemented by the Japanese army in the Japanese-occupied areas was that all rice was turned over and no rice was allowed to be eaten.
Hence, the price of rice on the black market remains high and there is a limited amount.
Although the price has not dropped now, at least the supply of rice is guaranteed to be unlimited.
As for how the Sichuan Army was obtained, they don't care.
I just know that now I don’t have to be hungry to read.
Hence, many students have a good impression of the Sichuan Army Corps in the south.
“Hey, didn’t you sign up?”
A girl looked at her classmate Fang Rong in front of her and asked in confusion.
Fang Rong was stunned for a moment, raised his head and saw his classmate Zhou Xian, blushed and said.
"No ah."
“Aren’t you going to sign up?” Zhou Xian asked curiously.
During this period, the speech "One Hundred Thousand Young People One Hundred Thousand Army" has become particularly popular recently, calling on students to join the army.
So during this period, the most popular thing in Kunming was that students joined the army.
The man behind this speech is Cun Yunsheng.
The reason is that Li Jiu, the military commander, is planning to recruit a group of students from Southwest Associated University.
It turned out that the resistance was too great.
One wrong move can easily cause the plan to fail and expose their secrets.
In the end, there was no other way, so Li Jiu told Cun Yunsheng the difficulty.
After listening, Cun Yunsheng thought for a while and remembered the slogan of one hundred thousand youths and one hundred thousand armies.
He asked the military commander to find a way to spread a message in Kunming City.
“At this critical juncture of war, the country must put its own priorities first and enable educated youth to serve on the battlefield. Because educated youth have knowledge and the ability to make automatic judgments, adding one educated youth to the team is equivalent to adding ten ordinary soldiers. "
is even more proposed.
The slogan "One inch of mountains and rivers, one inch of blood, one hundred thousand young people and one hundred thousand troops."
During this period, this matter was the most heatedly discussed in Kunming City.
As the largest school in Kunming, Southwest Associated University has been abuzz with discussions during this period.
"I...I think students should focus on their studies. Only by learning skills well can they better serve the country." Fang Rong thought for a while and expressed his thoughts.
"Well, you're right. I heard others say that the Sichuan Army seems to have sunk a Japanese warship recently. They are recruiting a large number of soldiers there, especially doctors." Zhou Xian sighed and said.
She is a medical student, already in her senior year, and will graduate soon.
Although there is a shortage of doctors everywhere now, the most talked about in Kunming during this period is the Sichuan Army Corps, which naturally makes her yearn for the Sichuan Army Corps.
"The Sichuan Army Corps? Is it the Sichuan Army Corps that captured Lashio? Destroyed the Japanese 56th Division?" Fang Rong asked doubtfully.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect that our Fangda nerds all know about the Sichuan Army. It seems that the Sichuan Army’s reputation is very famous during this period.” Zhou Xian said jokingly.
At this time, Zhu Guangya came over and said to the two people.
"You also know the Sichuan Army Corps. I heard that they are setting up a radar battalion and need radar soldiers. I want to go and have a look." Zhu Guangya majored in telecommunications and was particularly proficient in radio.
If nothing else happens, he will definitely have a good future after graduation.
But I don’t know where I heard about radar, and I just think about radar.
“Radar? What is that?” Zhou Xian asked doubtfully.
“It is a machine that can detect the traces of Japanese fighter planes in advance. The Western powers have already started to develop it. We are too far behind, so our air battles always fail.” Zhu Guangya said excitedly.
I have to say that in order to attract these telecommunications professionals, Cun Yunsheng really used his special skills.
If the communication camp is only expanded, it is estimated that it can only recruit some basic telegraph operators. It is absolutely impossible to recruit real technical masters.
But if you have something in your hand that is very attractive to others, it will attract some geniuses.
And Zhu Guangya is the kind of genius who is attracted to it.
He is not interested in that kind of monitoring and transmitting technology at all.
After learning that there was such a thing as radar, I wanted to rush to Myitkyina immediately.
Now I heard that someone also wanted to join the Sichuan Army Corps. I thought I was a like-minded person, so I thought I could take care of them on the way.
“Is there anything so powerful?” Zhou Xian looked at Zhu Guangya with admiration and asked doubtfully.
"Yes, the Western powers have already equipped it, but we don't have it. If we also have radar, we can know in advance that Japanese fighter planes are bombing, evacuate the people in time, and even fight back." Zhu Guangya said excitedly.
“Will Principal Mei agree to our going?” Zhou Xian said weakly.
Second update, try to restore the fourth update today!
