    Wen Yingxing didn¡¯t even stay for lunch, so he went directly to Myitkyina.

    Zhong Yi asked Zhang Shiliang to bring the lunch to his office, and listened to Wang Geng¡¯s report while eating.

    The Battle of Xidang ended successfully, and the Battle of Mandalay had not yet officially started. Zhong Yi could have rested for a few days, but he found that he was even busier than during the war.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Wang Geng opened the folder and picked the most important thing to report to Zhong Yi: "The first one is the India-Myanmar Highway. The progress of the project is basically similar to what we expected. It will take about two months to complete."

    "Two months?" Zhong Yi nodded and said, "That means it will basically be completed by the end of April?"

    Wang Geng said: "Yes, as long as there are no major accidents, it will definitely be completed by the end of April."

    After a pause, Wang Geng added: "Secondly, the first batch of 500 P-40 fighter jets produced by Curtis Company for our Myanmar theater has been completed and rolled off the production line. However, because ordinary merchant ships cannot transport fighter jets, they can only be transported through modification.  The aircraft carrier support ship will come for transportation, so we still need to wait in line.¡±

    There are two types of aircraft carriers in this era.

    One type is a combat aircraft carrier, such as the Yorktown and the Hornet.

    The other type is support aircraft carriers. For example, during World War II, more than 100 aircraft carriers converted from merchant ships were all support aircraft carriers.

    Of course, support aircraft carriers also have combat capabilities.

    But more often than not, support aircraft carriers are only used to transport aircraft.

    Zhong Yi frowned and said, "Queue? How long will it take to queue?"

    "This is not specified." Wang Geng said with a wry smile. "The U.S. Navy only said that their transportation tasks are very heavy now. They must first ensure supplies for the European Eastern Front and African battlefields, and then they can turn to the Asian battlefields. However, they also said  Now, the United States is already working overtime to refit merchant ships, and its transportation capacity will soon be significantly improved."

    "How soon is soon? A month or a year?" Zhong Yi frowned and said, "Send a telegram to Stilwell and ask him to contact the U.S. Navy and ask them to transport the plane as soon as possible."

    "Okay." Wang Geng nodded, "I will send a telegram to General Stilwell when I get back to my post."

    After a pause, Wang Geng continued: "The third one is Imphal Airport. General Stilwell has just sent a telegram. The joining of 20,000 overseas Chinese workers has greatly accelerated the progress of the airport project. According to the current progress, half  All six runways and hangars at the airport will be completed within a month, but there is one problem."

    Zhong Yi asked: "Does the Japanese air force often go bombing?"

    "Yes." Wang Geng nodded and said, "The bombers of the Japanese Air Force go to Imphal every once in a while. Although there are not many sorties each time and the number of bombs dropped is limited, they always go to bomb.  It¡¯s quite troublesome. Firstly, it will affect the progress, and secondly, it will cause some loss of personnel and materials.¡±

    "This is indeed a problem." Zhong Yi frowned.

    Wang Geng said: "Master, can the construction of airports in major cities in northern Myanmar start?"

    "That's fine." Zhong Yi nodded, "Telegram Bamo and ask him to immediately organize civilians to build airports in Mandalay, Myitkyina, Ren'anqiang, Lashio and other places."

    After talking about this for a while, Zhong Yi asked again: "Where are the machines and equipment assisted by the US government?"

    "I was about to say this." Wang Geng said with a slight smile, "The full set of machinery and equipment required for the thirty-nine projects assisted by the United States has been shipped to New York Port, and more than 500 engineering and technical personnel responsible for equipment debugging have also been put in place.  , but it¡¯s still an old problem, the transportation capacity is very tight, so it also needs to be scheduled.¡±

    ¡°As long as it¡¯s in place, transportation is not urgent.¡±

    Zhong Yi felt relieved after hearing this.

    "That's right." Wang Geng continued, "The last car of new recruits has been sent to Mandalay and should have been taken back to the station by the liaison officers of each division."

    Zhong Yi hummed softly and was about to speak when rapid footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

    The two of them turned around when they heard the sound and saw Fang Jianwei walking in hastily.

    "Jianwei?" Zhong Yi asked, "Do you have any important information?"

    "Yes." Fang Jianwei said, "The technical section of our intelligence department just deciphered the latest version of the Japanese army's secret code and immediately intercepted a very important piece of information."

    Wang Geng said: "What information?"

    Fang Jianwei said: ¡°The Japanese base camp issued new instructions to the Japanese Burmese Front Army. The Burmese Front Army divided its troops into two groups, one was the 26th Army, and the other was along the Yang-Man Railway.?The Central Railway is advancing towards Mandalay, and the other route is the 27th Army, which will go north along the Irrawaddy River and attack in the direction of Ren'anqiang.  "

    "The Japs actually divided their forces?" Zhong Yi's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

    Wang Geng also said excitedly: "Master, this is a good opportunity!"

    "Yes." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "If the seven or eight Japanese divisions all go north along the Central Railway, we have no other choice but to hold on. But now the Japanese soldiers are divided into two groups, and one of them actually goes north along the Irrawaddy River.  This gives us the opportunity to defeat them all! The road along the Irrawaddy River is not easy."

    Speaking of this meal, Zhong Yi said again: "Brother Shouqing, get the map quickly."

    "Yes." Wang Geng agreed and immediately ordered his staff to spread out the map.

    Zhong Yi then said to Adjutant Zhang Shiliang: "Adjutant Zhang, go find Brigadier An and Deputy Brigadier Zuo."

    Zhang Shiche turned around and left, but Zhong Yi, Fang Jianwei, Wang Geng and several staff members surrounded the map.

    There are two main rivers in Myanmar, the Salween River and the Irrawaddy River.

    The ancestors of Myanmar mainly lived in the plain area near the sea between the two rivers. Later, as the population increased, they began to expand northward along the middle plain.

    Until now, Myanmar¡¯s population still mainly lives in the middle zone.

    Although the terrain on both sides of the Irrawaddy River is also plain and the land is very fertile, most of it belongs to undeveloped tropical virgin jungle.

    As a major city in the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River, there is no road connection between Yan'anqiang and Yangon, let alone railways. Normal transportation is completed by waterway transportation or by transferring to Mandalay and taking the railway to Yangon.

    "Has Ishihara Wan'er been kicked in the head by a donkey this time?" Wang Geng couldn't help but said, "If he sends a division to go north along the Irrawaddy River to Ren'anqiang, we can still understand that this is also what we set up defenses in Ren'anqiang.  The reason, but he placed the entire 27th Army on the right, which is very puzzling. Isn¡¯t it better to take the Central Railway?¡±

    "Ignore him." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "You must take a bite of the meat that is brought to your mouth."

    While the two were talking, Special Operations Brigade Commander An Zhenyuan and Deputy Brigade Commander Usami Takashi had already walked into the war room hand in hand.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
