Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Duan Zhongyi glared at Duan Anguo angrily and said, "Is there anything that I can't even say? And I have to promise to keep my mouth shut first?"

Duan Anguo laughed and said: "No way, General Stilwell and Brigadier General Martin both asked me not to disclose the secrets for the time being, but I think it is necessary to tell you!"

Hearing this, Duan Zhongyi became curious, nodded seriously and said: "Okay! I promise not to tell the third person!"

"That's good!"

Duan Anguo nodded and smiled: "Actually, this matter is not simple! I have been in Myanmar for more than a month, and I know a lot about the British. These British people are extremely arrogant and domineering. Even their attitude towards Commodore Martin is not much better!

Especially Lieutenant General Alexander, the commander of the British Burmese Army. The stones in the latrine are smelly and hard. The command of the Burmese army and the management of Burma? "

A bright light flashed in Duan Zhongyi's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "So, there is really a big inside story here?"

"That's not!"

Duan Anguo raised his eyebrows proudly, and then said: "As for how General Stilwell managed to deal with the British, I don't know, but I know that one of the Chinese played a key role!"

"Who is it? Say it quickly!"

Duan Zhongyi glared at Duan Anguo, and asked anxiously: "You won't be able to rent a house for three days, right? If you keep trying to keep me entertained, see if I won't beat you up!"

"Hey, don't dare! Don't dare!"

Duan Anguo smiled badly and said: "Dad, I also inferred, it's not accurate! I only heard that Lieutenant General Stilwell was very friendly and respectful to that Chinese man, and he even called him Boss Yang.

I reckon that this boss Yang is probably Yang Fan, the commander-in-chief of the Huaxia Huben Army, who is well-known.Because besides him, I really can't think of anyone else surnamed Yang who has such abilities. "

"You are Yang Fan, General Yang, have you arrived in Burma?"

Duan Zhongyi's pupils shrank slightly. This news was both unexpected and expected, because he had heard from Chairman Jiang that Yang Fan would send an expeditionary force to fight in Burma.

At this time, Duan Anguo was a little surprised, and asked puzzledly: "Dad, you don't seem to be very surprised? Do you have inside information?"

Duan Zhongyi nodded and smiled: "Well, because I have dealt with General Stilwell before, we are old acquaintances.

Therefore, Chairman Jiang has another appointment for me, that is, the deputy head of the Chinese Staff Group in Myanmar under the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government, who is mainly responsible for the overall planning, liaison and coordination of the Sino-US and British military cooperation.

Therefore, I have some understanding of the situation of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force. Among them, General Yang promised to send no less than 4 elite troops to fight in Burma. "

"Oh, so that's the case, then it means that my deduction is not wrong!"

Duan Anguo suddenly realized and nodded: "That's it, with the invincible Chinese Huben Army joining the battle, the Burma Road must be safe!"

Duan Zhongyi asked with a smile: "Why, have you heard about General Yang in the United States? And you have so much confidence in him?"

Duan Anguo nodded and said, "Dad, I'm not a nerd who only reads books about sages and doesn't listen to the outside world. I still know about these big current events and famous people!"

Duan Zhongyi said with some fascination: "Well, you are right! I am looking forward to seeing General Yang's demeanor in Myanmar!"

Duan Anguo said with a smile: "Dad, isn't it that we will go to the Burmese battlefield together soon? Haha, brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers, this is really interesting!"

……

After sending Stilwell away, Soong Meiling smiled and asked Chairman Jiang: "Darling, I have always heard that Stilwell is an outspoken soldier, and he is an upright soldier. Today I finally saw it! It really is!"

"It's one side, but I see a deeper side."

Generalissimo Jiang nodded, and then said with a very happy chuckle: "The Japanese really offended the Americans to death, and the Americans are really anxious.

Haha, these proud Americans finally opened their eyes. They finally realized the important strategic position of China. Now we, China, don't have to bear the military pressure of the Japanese alone. "

After a pause, Generalissimo Jiang turned to Song Meiling and said, "Go back and rest first, I have to go and have a good talk with Guangting and the others. This entry into Burma is of great significance, and many things need to be carefully planned!"

Chapter 770

The Oval Office of the White House.

Roosevelt put a telegram on his desk, and said to Marshall who had just walked in: "This is the telegram just sent by Stilwell, please read it first!"

"Okay, Mr. President!"

Marshall quickly picked up the telegram and read it. After a while, he said to Roosevelt: "Although we finally took this step, it is also expected!"

Roosevelt frowned and said, "Then what do you think of Stilwell's proposal that 4 British Burmese troops be transferred to the Egyptian battlefield now and that the Burmese theater take over all local affairs in Burma?"

Marshall replied: "This is obviously not Stilwell's original intention, but the idea of ​​the Chinese man! This may be a cultural difference. The way of thinking of the Chinese people is a bit different from ours. When fighting, they pay attention to the right time, place and people. .

According to data research, that Chinese man is very good at defense, good at using all available conditions, and has a very sensitive sense of strategy.

Since he is so anxious to make so many big moves, it can only show that he has made up his mind to do a big job in Myanmar.

So I think this is a good thing, we should give enough support and cooperation! "

After a pause, Marshall emphasized with deep meaning: "The top priority is to keep Myanmar, keep the Burma Road, and let the Chinese army hold back the Japanese in the Asian battlefield. Everything else is secondary!"

"Well, yes, our core interests are in Europe, there is no doubt about it!"

Roosevelt smiled knowingly, and then continued: "I will communicate with Churchill on the phone, I believe he will not refuse this request!"

Because of something on his mind, Stilwell really lived in Kunming like a year, and only stayed for a day and a half. In the early morning of December 12, he flew back to Yangon with David in a hurry.

"Yang, President Roosevelt called back!"

Not long after returning to Yangon, Stilwell received a telegram from the mainland United States.

"Haha, now I finally don't have to talk about empty plans anymore! Let's go and find Alexander, it's time for him to move!"

After reading the telegram, Yang Fan was also extremely happy. After getting this Shangfang sword, he was truly famous for his master, and he could do whatever he wanted in Myanmar, and even build it into another anti-Japanese frontier base.

In fact, at this time, the British and Burmese troops stationed in Dawei, Yecheng, Mawlamyine, Yangon, Ryanqiang and other places were either on their way or had arrived in Menggong one after another.

Although Yang Fan used tough methods to take down the British Burmese Army Command in Yangon, and "took the emperor to order the princes", he asked General Alexander to order the troops to go to Meng Gong to assemble and unload their equipment for the national army who came to change defenses. .

However, the commanders of the divisions and brigades did not doubt the orders issued by the headquarters, but followed the orders in a regular manner.

The main reason is that they all know that the North African battlefield is currently tight, and Churchill is mobilizing a large number of troops from various colonies to support Egypt.

After the outbreak of the Second World War, Italy, which wanted to restore the glory of the ancient Roman Empire, aimed at North Africa, so a large-scale war with the United Kingdom inevitably broke out.

It's just that everyone on earth knows how bad Italy's combat effectiveness is as a pig teammate of Nazi Germany.

So history repeated itself. As soon as the Italian army fought, it was beaten all over the ground by the British army led by Montgomery, and the 10th Army was directly destroyed.

At the request of Mussolini, in order to prevent the total defeat of the Axis powers, the head of state formulated Operation Sunflower, sending the famous general Erwin Rommel to command the German African Army into North Africa to reinforce the Italian army.

Montgomery's fight against the Italian army was like chopping melons and vegetables, with no disadvantages, but after the desert fox Rommel joined the North African battlefield, the situation quickly reversed, and Montgomery became a melon in the hands of others.

In just two or three months, the British army retreated all the way to Egypt, and even the Suez Canal was about to fall!

In this critical situation, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill began to frantically deploy troops from overseas colonies to reinforce the precarious North African battlefield.

Therefore, the British and Burmese troops who received the assembly of Meng Gong subconsciously believed that the British government wanted to send them to North Africa to defend Egypt and fight against the German and Italian troops.

As for leaving weapons and equipment to arm the national army to defend Myanmar, this is completely reasonable, because the rich and powerful American allies will definitely send American weapons and equipment to Egypt before they arrive in Egypt.

At that time, they can switch to more advanced weapons and equipment to fight the powerful German-Italian coalition forces, not only that, but also save them the trouble of transporting batches of weapons to Egypt.

Therefore, under the combination of various factors, the British and Burmese troops automatically succeeded in brainstorming, and there was no doubt that the commander, Lieutenant General Alexander, under the coercion and lure of Yang Fan, made an abnormal move that almost betrayed the British Empire.

三天时间下来，缅甸军第1师、第17师、第36师、独立第63旅以及装甲第7旅大部分已经抵达孟拱，正在等待着下一步的行动指令。

Thoughts commanded actions, Stilwell and Yang Fan immediately went to the headquarters of the Anglo-Burmese Army in Yangon, and met the smiling General Alexander.

That's right, before the two arrived at the headquarters, Alexander had already received a transfer order from Churchill, ordering him to lead the troops to Egypt immediately and hand over Burma's defense to Stilwell.

But Stilwell is so close to Yang Fan that he wears a pair of pants now, and he obeys Yang Fan's words, so it is not much different from directly handing it over to Yang Fan.

With no worries or conflicts of interest, Alexander was in a very happy mood. He held Yang Fan's hand tightly and said:

"General Yang, Burma will be handed over to your Chinese army, and I will immediately go to the North African battlefield to fight against the damned German and Italian troops.

We hope that we will have better opportunities for cooperation in the future! "

Sure enough, the general is good at what he says. Not only can he get out of this dangerous place that is about to be attacked by the heavy Japanese army group, but he also got a huge sum of 30 pounds for nothing. Alexander really has no reason not to be happy.

"There will definitely be such an opportunity! General Alexander has a smooth journey. I wish you a successful start in Egypt and another miracle of war!"

Yang Fan laughed out loud, and he said it nicely, but in his heart he was thinking of sending this gift out of the country as soon as possible, and then he could occupy the magpie's nest and gradually turn Myanmar into another territory of his own!

Time soon came to September 1941, 1.

On this day, 26 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and China, signed the "United Nations Joint Declaration" in Washington to jointly oppose the fascist war.

Later, 21 other countries, including France, joined in one after another.

Since then, China's War of Resistance against Japan has been closely linked with the Allied Powers' war against the Axis Powers, especially the United States and Britain's war against Japan in the Pacific Ocean, and has become an important part of the International Anti-Fascist War.

Chapter 771 The Big Troop Has Finally Arrived

At nine o'clock in the evening on January 1st, huge black shadows emerged from the waters off the coast of Fangchenggang, Guangxi, and it didn't take long for the troop-transporting submarine the size of a hill to reveal its true face.

After nearly five days of sneaking, the system's transport fleet finally arrived at the coastline of Fangchenggang, Guangxi.

"My god, how come I'm going to go ashore, I've been suffocated these few days!"

"Yeah, it's the first time I've been in a submarine for so long. It's a pity that there are lights and seasickness medicine inside, otherwise I might lose half my life!"

"It's good to be down-to-earth. After I landed, I felt instantly at ease in my heart."

"That thing walks on the bottom of the sea day and night. If something happens, there will be no place for the whole boat to run. Now that I think about it, it's really quite intrusive."

"Come on! Our submarine force stays in the submarine every day without saying that we are uncomfortable or afraid. You just sit there for a few days and complain so much!"

"Hey, just say a few words casually, brothers, you are all doing well!"

"Hurry up, don't be dumbfounded, line up in battalions according to their respective establishments, and hurry up to board the plane!"

"Wow. My God, there are so many helicopters waiting for us here!"

"Haha, our boss is too powerful! With such a powerful mobility, can we still be afraid that we won't be able to defeat the Japanese devils?"

After going ashore one after another, everyone's mood became extremely happy. Although the troop transport submarines of the system are large, safe and reliable, and have various facilities, but after all, there are too many people, the activity space is extremely crowded, and the air is also very stuffy people.

After landing, everyone felt a new life, breathing fresh air.

But this is just a transit point, not a destination. At this time, hundreds of large helicopters have already parked in the open space on the shore waiting for them.

In addition to the 50 helicopters consigned from Gaomi, a huge fleet of transport aircraft is formed, which is enough to carry

Started to fly to Yangon, Bago, Ba'an, Mawlamyine, Yecheng and other places in Myanmar.

At one o'clock in the morning, the first helicopter transport group arrived at Yangon Airport, and Yang Fan personally greeted the soldiers of the Huben Army who traveled thousands of kilometers away.

They worked until the early morning of the next day, when 4 infantrymen were deployed to their respective defense zones accurately according to the defense map drawn up by Yang Fan, and officially took over the defense as quickly as possible.

Before that, Yang Fan had recruited more than [-] construction teams, and was going all out to transform and further process the fortifications of various defense lines.

Pilots, tank soldiers, artillery, engineering regiments, logistics regiments, chemical defense regiments, communications regiments, field hospitals and other arms and military personnel are mostly concentrated in Yangon, waiting for the arrival of heavy equipment before new allocation and deployment.

……

With the full cooperation of Aung San, Wu Nu, Ba Mo and other Burmese, He Zhenshu led his anti-rape team to wipe out all the devils and spies lurking in Burma in just two or three days.

Even those Burmese aboriginals who had defected to the Japanese, or were about to defect to the Japanese, most of them changed the direction of the wind in a short period of time and turned to cooperate with the Burmese authorities controlled by the Burmese Theater Command.

To have such an immediate effect, "capture the thief first and capture the king" naturally played a key role.

At the same time, Yang Fan also organized a private movie theater to show the Nanjing Massacre in turn, as well as realistic documentaries about the Japanese massacre of innocent Chinese people, so that these Burmese natives who had fantasies about the Japanese could see the true face of the Japanese devils.

In addition, Wang Zhijun's excellent political work ability also played a big role. He became one with the Burmese Communist Party, publicized and released positive energy to win over a large number of people, and made positive contributions to the establishment of a united anti-Japanese front.

After finishing the urgent task, He Zhenshu rushed to Meng Gong with a group of people non-stop, responsible for guarding and distributing the weapons and equipment and various military supplies left by the British and Burmese troops in Meng Gong.

In fact, before this, He Zhenshu had already dispatched a capable team of hundreds of people to Meng Gong in accordance with Yang Fan's order to receive the weapons and equipment from the British and Burmese troops.

And Yang Fan wanted He Zhenshu to go to Meng Gong in person, the main purpose of which was to let him take care of the upcoming Sichuan Army, and to bring Sun Zhen, Li Jiayu, Chen Dingxun and other group army officers to Yangon as soon as possible.

Because Yang Fan already knew from Li Zongren that while Generalissimo Jiang dispatched the most elite 5th Army this time, he also transferred the 22nd Army, which was the worst equipped in the Fifth Theater.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the Sichuan Army organized 6 army groups to fight in Sichuan, and the 22nd Army Group was one of them!

The Sichuan Army has the worst weapons and equipment among the local armies, and the 22nd Group Army has the worst weapons and equipment among the Sichuan Army.

The 41st Army, 45th Army, and 47th Army under the group army, in the severe winter of 1937, wearing straw sandals and single clothes, rushed to the front line of the Shanxi Anti-Japanese War!

When they arrived in Shaanxi, they didn't get any supplies, but because the front line in Shanxi was tight, they were urgently transferred to the front line of Niangziguan.

With the fall of Niangziguan, the Sichuan army and friendly troops were all defeated.After the Sichuan army gathered the troops, more than half of the troops had been killed or injured.

The Sichuan Army, which was short of food and ammunition, was in a rout. Some rout soldiers robbed an arsenal of the Jinsui Army, which drew another scolding from Yan Xishan.

As a result, Yan Xishan, the commander of the second war zone, charged the Sichuan army with the charge of the fall of Niangziguan, and demanded that the army be transferred.

Later, the 22nd Army was transferred to the Fifth Theater under the command of Li Zongren, and participated in a series of major battles such as the Battle of Xuzhou, the Battle of Wuhan, and the Battle of Suizao.
