Yangon, Myanmar Theater Commander's Department.
After receiving Stilwell¡¯s telegram, Zhong Yi was stunned for a moment.
??The U.S. military is preparing to send a battlefield observation group to Myanmar to observe the battle between the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Japanese army on the spot? The personnel are composed of field-level officers from the Army and Air Force.
The team was led by U.S. Army Brigadier General Patton.
Patton? Zhong Yi couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly, this is a famous person.
Now you have to bring an observation group to Burma to observe the battle between the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the Japanese army?
It is said to be observation, but in fact it is to learn from experience. Has the US military finally remembered to learn from the national army?
Putting down the telegram, Zhong Yi said to Zhang Shiliang: "Call back to General Stilwell. The Burmese theater welcomes the arrival of the US military battlefield observation group at any time."
"Yes." Zhang Shiliang turned and left the war room.
As soon as Zhang Shiliang left with his front foot, Wang Geng came in with his rear foot.
"General, the latest progress." Wang Geng said, "The 122nd Division of the 22nd Group Army has entered Magway, and is less than 50 kilometers away from the Japanese 28th Division that is heading north along the east bank of the Irrawaddy River."
Zhong Yi¡¯s face sank slightly, and then he quickly walked to the simulated sand table next to him.
A combat staff officer quickly found Ma Gui¡¯s location on the sand table and pointed it out to Zhong Yi.
After staring at Ma Gui for a moment, Zhong Yi turned his eyes to the middle and said in a deep voice: "Where has Ishihara Wanji's 26th Army forward reached?"
"Here." Wang Geng pointed to the sand table and said, "Yang Miding."
After finishing speaking, Wang Geng picked up the square ruler and measured it on the sand table, and said solemnly: "The 26th Army is less than 200 kilometers away from Mandalay."
Less than two hundred kilometers is already a very dangerous distance.
At that moment, Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "Call the divisions of the 27th Group Army and the 30th Group Army not to retreat anymore, but to rush to repair fortifications along the railway to block the Japanese army!"
¡¡
At this time, we were in Meiktila, more than a hundred miles south of Mandalay.
The 133rd and 134th Divisions of the 27th Group Army are slowly withdrawing northward along the Central Railway.
Before the arrival of the British, Myanmar's infrastructure was very backward. Not to mention railways, there was not even a decent road. Its main transportation basically relied on a few large rivers.
After the British colonists occupied Myanmar, in order to obtain the rubber and iron ore resources in northern Myanmar, they quickly built the Central Railway from Yangon to Myitkyina. After the railway was opened to traffic, they built a road.
So the Central Railway and the Central Highway are basically parallel.
At this moment, more than 8,000 officers and soldiers of the 133rd and 134th Divisions are slowly retreating north along the Central Railway and Central Highway.
"It's just that the officers and soldiers of the 133rd and 134th Division were shattered. They couldn't understand why they had to withdraw from Mandalay just a few days ago. Why did they have to withdraw again today?
Is it interesting to run back and forth like this?
Yang Zheng, who had been promoted to the commander of the 1st Company of the 133rd Division Guard Battalion, couldn't help complaining to the division commander Li Yueshen: "Master, what are you doing? Yesterday we went south and today we are back north. You are just using us to make excuses." Well?"
"Shut up." Li Yueshen said angrily, "Where do you come from with all these weird words?"
"Brothers, you can't figure it out." Yang Zheng said, "Fight and not fight, defend and not defend, what are you doing back and forth?"
¡°It¡¯s natural for the Chief¡¯s Department to make such an arrangement.¡± Li Yueshen snorted, ¡°Is it possible that your boy can be more powerful than Chief Zhong?¡±
"That doesn't exist." Yang Zheng waved his hands and said, "How can I compare with Chief Zhong."
"Then stop talking nonsense." Li Yueshen said coldly, "Just lead the troops and march properly."
While the two were talking, a signal soldier suddenly rushed over and said loudly: "Division, the commander sent an urgent message to order our division to rely on the Central Railway to repair fortifications on the spot to stop the Japanese army!"
Hearing this sentence, Li Yueshen and Yang Zheng's faces immediately darkened.
¡¡
Almost at the same time, the jungle near Ren'anqiang, two hundred miles southwest of Meiktila.
Wang Xun was carrying a bag and a Garand rifle, and was running south with his comrades.
From Manlele to Ren'anqiang, and then from Ren'anqiang to Magui, we marched by train all the way, so it was very relaxed.
Wang Xun naively thought that when they came to Myanmar to fight this time, they would no longer have to march on two legs like the national army at home, and they often died of exhaustion.
For this reason, Wang Xun is even stillSpecial records were made in the diary.
But the cruel facts soon gave Wang Xun a cold blow.
After getting off the train in Magui, the order from the division headquarters came down to march on foot!
So, Wang Xun picked up his backpack, picked up the Garand rifle he had just received, and started running forward with his comrades in two columns.
At the beginning, the road surface was quite open and the road surface was solidified, so it was quite easy to run.
But after traveling for about four or five miles, the road gradually began to narrow, and the hardened road turned into a dirt road. In the end, it turned into a muddy road in the jungle. Once you step on it, you can reach your ankles.
Marching or running on such a road requires a lot of physical exertion.
Less than five kilometers into the march, all the recruits began to pant like cattle.
Wang Xun was no exception. He felt as if his lungs were about to burst. It was so uncomfortable!
Originally, the backpack only weighed more than ten kilograms, but now it felt like a mountain, weighing down his waist so much that he couldn't stand upright. He really wanted to lean forward and lie down on the ground.
But fortunately, they practiced long distances during the Kunming recruit training camp.
Therefore, Wang Xun finally gritted his teeth and persisted, and so did the other recruits.
?? This gritted teeth lasted all morning, until noon, I don¡¯t know how long the march was, and finally the order from the division headquarters came from the front to rest on the spot for fifteen minutes!
After receiving the order, Wang Xun fell apart instantly and fell to the ground.
It was also at this time that Wang Xun realized that his whole body was soaked in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Looking around at the comrades around me, I found that all the recruits were similar and fell down from exhaustion.
But the situation of the veterans was much better, and all of them were still able to eat.
Wang Xun and the new soldiers couldn't. Although they were very hungry, they really couldn't eat.
The company commander turned back from the front and said loudly: "Hurry up and eat something, drink some water, and replenish your strength! There are still twenty kilometers waiting for you!"
Immediately there was a sigh in the jungle.
Wang Xun took off his backpack from his back with a sad face and took out two biscuits from the bag.
The biscuits were chocolate-flavored and very delicious, but Wang Xun had no appetite.
After reluctantly taking a bite, Wang Xun felt waves of flooding in his stomach. He quickly opened the lid of the kettle, tilted his neck and took a swig of water before finally swallowing the biscuit.
With something in my stomach, I am finally not so hungry, and I finally feel better.
After resting for a while, the order came down again to continue marching, targeting Magui! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
