"Five hundred? That's impossible!" Stilwell shook his head and said, "What's more, even if we can gather five hundred, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up with the Xiguang River battle."
"Even the second phase of the war cannot catch up."
"Because it takes at least two months to transport it by sea."
¡°If something unexpected happens along the way, it will take even longer.¡±
"But in the first phase of the war, we only plan to hold on to the Sitang River for a month."
¡°In the second stage of the war, we are only prepared to hold on in southern Myanmar for two months.¡±
Since the Japanese army has a powerful navy and air force to assist in the battle, the Sidang River will definitely be lost in the end. The only suspense is how long it can hold on?
Zhong Yi¡¯s request is one month.
??Also, the southern part of Myanmar cannot be defended.
This point is not subject to anyone¡¯s will.
Even if Zhong Yi has the power to reach heaven and earth, he cannot change this.
The reason is very simple, because the first expeditionary force to enter Myanmar nominally consisted of four armies and 17 divisions, but in fact there were less than 100,000 people!
And there is no assistance from the Air Force!
With only 100,000 Sichuan troops and no air force to assist, it is simply wishful thinking to block the same number of Japanese troops with naval and air force assistance!
What¡¯s more, the actual strength of Ishihara Kanji¡¯s 25th Army is not more than 100,000!
According to reliable information, Ishihara Kanji's 25th Army consists of the 1st, 2nd, 8th and 18th Guards Divisions, plus an independent heavy artillery regiment and two tank regiments, with a total strength of more than 15 Thousands of people!
"The equipment is not as good as the Japanese army, the troops are not as good as the Japanese army, and the popular support is also in the Japanese army's favor. How can we fight this battle?" It's impossible to win!
Therefore, the best result is to persist as long as possible.
Zhong Yi¡¯s goal is to persist in southern Myanmar for at least two months.
Because in two months, 500,000 men from China will arrive one after another, and the first batch of ordnance transported from the United States will probably arrive as well.
By that time, Zhong Yi would have the confidence to give it a try with Ishihara Wan'er.
That¡¯s why Stilwell said that even if 500 planes were urgently dispatched, they would not be able to catch up with the second phase of the war.
Zhong Yi smiled slightly and said: "Even if we can't catch up with the second stage of the war, it would be good to catch up with the third stage of the war. Then we will give the Japanese a big surprise."
Stilwell nodded and said, "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee you."
"It's not about trying our best, it's necessary." Zhong Yi said solemnly, "Within two months, the first batch of 500 P-40 fighter jets must be successfully transported to northern Myanmar. Otherwise, the air defense in northern Myanmar will be impossible to talk about. At that time, Both the traffic on the India-Myanmar highway and the construction of industrial bases in northern Myanmar will be affected."
Stilwell was helpless: "Okay."
Zhong Yi added: "Calculating the time, the main force of the Japanese 25th Army should be arriving soon."
"It should be soon." Stilwell said, "We should be able to reach the east bank of the Salween River within three days and join the 18th Division that arrived there first."
¡¡
At the same time, at the Maodang Pass in southern Myanmar, more than 100 Type 95 light tanks and more than 70 Type 97 medium tanks from two tank regiments of the Japanese 25th Army, as well as two other The convoy of the Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment was moving forward along the narrow road.
Because it had just rained and the roads were muddy, it was very difficult to march.
As we walked, the team in front stopped, including the armored vehicle Ishihara Kanji was riding.
It was too stuffy inside, so Ishihara Wanji immediately opened the door and stepped out of the car. As a result, his foot fell into the muddy mud. When he finally pulled out his right foot, the leather shoe was nowhere to be found.
A soldier walking by quickly stepped forward and dug out the leather shoe from the mud.
"Soldier, thank you." Ishihara smiled and tilted his head to the soldier to express his gratitude.
"Hai." The soldier bowed to Ishihara Wanji in panic and turned to follow the group.
"Your Excellency, Commander, please get back to the armored vehicle. It's too dangerous outside." Gudina Huaxiong, chief of staff of the 25th Army, got off the armored vehicle and said, "Be careful of Chinese snipers."
"Gudina-kun, you are worrying too much." Ishihara waved his hand and said, "This is still in Thailand, and we have not entered Myanmar yet."
"That shouldn't be taken lightly." Gu Dina Hua XiongHe said, "China's special forces have always been elusive."
At this time, heavy raindrops suddenly fell from the sky again, and Ishihara smiled and could only go back to the stuffy car.
Fortunately, at this time, I don¡¯t know whether the vehicle that broke down in front was repaired or was temporarily pushed to the side of the road. In short, the convoy that had just stopped moved again.
But the speed of movement has obviously slowed down.
Ishihara Wanyang frowned and said, "At this rate, I'm afraid we won't be able to reach Moulmein in seven days."
Gudina Huaxiong's eyes subconsciously fell on the map, and he said somewhat depressedly: "The straight-line distance from Thailand to Mawlamyine is actually less than 300 kilometers. If there is a road connecting it, you can walk there in one day!"
"It's a pity that there is no road connection between Moulmein and Bangkok." Ishihara smiled and said regretfully, "The imperial army could only bypass the Pilao Mountains from the Maodang Pass. Not to mention having to walk more than 500 kilometers, there were also encounters It¡¯s because of this crazy weather.¡±
"There is nothing we can do about it," said Huadina Hua Xiong. "Fortunately, even if it is delayed for a few days, it has nothing to do with the overall situation. The Chinese Army in Myanmar cannot receive a large number of reinforcements within a few days, nor can they Within a week, strong fortifications were built on the west bank of the Salween River, and at best they could only dig more foxholes and trenches.¡±
"Gudina-kun, do you really think so?" Ishihara smiled and said in a faint tone.
"What?" Gudina Huaxiong said disapprovingly, "Don't you think so, Commander?"
"It seems that you lack understanding of the idiom that soldiers are valuable and quick." Ishihara smiled and shook his head and said, "Many times, the key to determining the outcome of a war is often one hour or even one minute, but now, we have the possibility A week's delay is absolutely an unforgivable mistake from a military perspective."
After a pause, Ishihara smiled and said: "Gudina-kun, this time your staff lacks knowledge about Myanmar's climate in advance, and it knows nothing about the traffic conditions between Thailand and Myanmar. If you don't find out from yourself, question, but you think it is impossible for the Chinese army to build a fortress within a week. Don't you feel ashamed to say this?"
"Hai!" Gudina Huaxiong finally showed a look of shame on his face, and said one after another, "Your Excellency, Commander, this is a dereliction of duty. Please punish me."
"We'll talk about punishment later." Ishihara smiled, and then continued, "I just hope that I won't make the same mistake again in the future! The Imperial Army has not yet come into contact with the China Army, and mistakes will not lead to fatal consequences. , once the two armies are in close combat, if your staff makes this mistake again, I don¡¯t need to say more about the consequences, right?"
"Hai!" Gudina Huaxiong said with a heavy heart, "I will never repeat the same mistakes in my humble position!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
