Take Taobao to fight against Japan

So Iida Shojiro could only pretend not to see such a tough bone that could not be smashed or cooked.

However, after Umezu Yoshijiro took office as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force, he did not listen to his dissuasion and insisted on taking this seaside and mountainous fortress as a prestige. Naturally, Shojiro Iida felt very uncomfortable.

At this time, Shojiro Iida was apparently agreeing with the Chief of Staff's suggestion, but he was secretly amused in his heart, and his tone was more or less the pleasure of watching Yoshijiro Umezu's jokes!

"Baga! The shame of the empire!"

Umezu Yoshijiro was so angry that he wanted to continue to increase the number of troops impulsively, and wanted to get the place back at all costs.

But Umezu Yoshijiro was not stupid. He knew very well that the advice of Higuchi Kiichiro, Kimura Heitaro and others was the wisest choice. If he tried hard now, even if he conquered the seaside fortress of Yecheng, it would only be worth the candle.

"Mr. Higuchi, please immediately call a meeting of the commanders and chiefs of staff of the various armies! The so-called military speed is precious, we must come up with a perfect strategy as soon as possible, open the situation as soon as possible, and wipe out all these hateful Chinese expeditionary forces!"

Umezu Yoshijiro was really very angry, he just felt that he had no strength and monstrous anger, but he had nowhere to vent!

"Hay!"

Kimura Heitaro paused, he was very clear about the temper of this long-time partner, and knew that at this time, he could only smooth it out!

Chapter 969

Nanyue Airport.

Chairman Chiang's plane landed at 05:30 in the morning.

The plane came to a complete stop on the runway. Chairman Chiang, with a solemn expression and a thin face, walked down the gangway wearing a black cloak and holding a civilized stick.

The weather on this day was as gloomy as people's emotions. In the mist in the early morning, three steps, one post, five steps and one post could be vaguely seen, adding infinite chill to the natural scenery.

"headmaster!"

"A seat!"

At this time, senior generals such as Chen Cheng and Xue Yue, who had been waiting for a long time, saluted Generalissimo Jiang one after another.

Generalissimo Jiang nodded slightly, but did not reply, and got into a black car with a gloomy expression.

Seeing the old man looking like he was going to eat people, Xue Yue's heart sank continuously. Just as he expected before, the Supreme Commander came to Nanyue this time not to hold a celebration party, but for those who came not to be kind.

The atmosphere of this Nanyue military meeting was destined to be very serious, depressing, and even bloody from the very beginning!

Commissar Jiang really came here full of anger and chill, and publicized the second Changsha battle as a great victory. That was because the psychology of the Chinese people and the morale of the army needed a big victory to support them.

But in fact, in the second Changsha battle, although China and Japan resumed the confrontation positions before the battle, on the surface, the 9th theater successfully repelled the Japanese army's full-scale attack on Changsha.

However, the cold fact is that the Japanese army severely damaged the main force of the 9th theater in northern Hunan. The 74th Army, the 10th Army, the 4th Army, and the 26th Army of the Huaxia Army suffered heavy casualties. paid a heavy price,

In particular, Wang Yaowu's 74th Army, which was sent to the tiger's mouth, suffered more than half of Cheng Wanjun's casualties within a day, and Liao Lingqi's division lost all casualties. Of the three ace divisions that had been alive and well, only Li Tianxia's division was still intact.

In times of crisis, Wang Yaowu narrowly escaped death only by the sacrifice of the guard platoon leader and two guards.

Wang Yaowu, who has experienced many years of bloody battles, brushed shoulders with the god of death, but he was not afraid of it. He only had sadness in his heart.

Parting from life to death, mountains of corpses and seas of blood have long been commonplace. The war has never made this strong man cry, but this time he shed tears while walking.

He was not only sad for the victims, but also angry about the defeat of the army and his embarrassment.

Xue Yue never dreamed that Wang Yaowu's army, who had placed all his hopes on it, would be so vulnerable that he was defeated in just three days, so that the entire defense became fragmented and full of loopholes!

In the battle of Changsha, which lasted nearly two months, the Chinese army invested a total of 37.8 troops, and the Japanese army invested 11.5 troops. In the end, the Chinese army killed and wounded 4.14 Japanese troops. The original garrison area.

Officers above the army commander in each theater had already gathered in Nanyue, and they could hold a meeting just waiting for Generalissimo Jiang to arrive.

But Generalissimo Jiang was not busy with the meeting, but first called Bai Chongxi, Chen Cheng, and Xue Yue for a small meeting.

After taking his seat, Generalissimo Jiang said with a dark face: "This Nanyue military meeting is not a celebration meeting, but a military review meeting. I think you all understand this!"

The propaganda machine of the Nationalist government must spread positive energy propaganda with great fanfare, and present the glorious results of the ideal in front of the people of the country and in front of the Americans!

At the same time, Chairman Jiang was even more worried that if he did not conduct a profound and strict military review meeting, his senior generals would really regard this vaunted victory as their own victory.

As the commander-in-chief of the 9th theater, Xue Yue could only nod his head and admit his mistake: "Principal Mingjian, our army suffered serious casualties in this battle. As the commander-in-chief of the 9th theater, I bear direct responsibility!"

"Okay! I'm not here to listen to your general arguments, but to find the real root cause of failure and to fundamentally solve our existing problems!"

Generalissimo Jiang waved his hand. He was very satisfied with Xue Yue in general. At the same time, he really wanted to enforce the law impartially this time to find out the reasons for his failure. It was definitely not just killing a few people and punishing a few generals for venting their anger. .

After a pause, Chairman Jiang said earnestly: "Nowadays, China is suffering from internal and external troubles. The decisive battle in the Myanmar theater abroad is imminent, and the domestic and foreign battlefields are also undergoing severe tests!

The elite troops cultivated by the party-state with great difficulty have suffered devastating blows again and again!

If we are not careful, we will lose everything. If we cannot keep up and change the situation of being passively beaten, the future and future of the party and the country will be worrying! "

"I'm sorry, principal, for disappointing you!"

Hearing this, Xue Yue's face was full of shame, and he had to say that his failure in the Changsha battle had a lot to do with his blind arrogance and self-willedness.

The Nanyue military meeting was held for five days. After the meeting, all troops conducted the most in-depth and effective "military review!" after the important battle against Japan in military history.

The Ninth War Zone review is as follows:

"11. Misjudged the changes in the enemy's [-]th Army's combat plan after Anan Weiji took office.

[-]. The battle plan basically follows the old case of the last battle,..."

When Chairman Jiang looked through the review reports of the various units on his desk, he had already returned to Chongqing.

In the report, a large number of problems in the national army's combat command, peacetime training, military law and discipline, and military infrastructure construction are reflected.

The seriousness of the problem made Generalissimo Jiang very angry and deeply worried, but he was also relieved that this army-wide review was able to tell the truth and not conceal mistakes.

After carefully reading the review report, Generalissimo Jiang let out a sigh of relief, looked back at Chen Cheng who was standing aside and asked, "Cixiu, what do you think of this report?"

Chen Cheng nodded quickly and said: "Principal, the problems reflected in this review report are very real and profound. As long as the rectification and reform can be implemented, I believe that the party, the country and the army will definitely improve and improve greatly!"

"I'm afraid it's not a day's cold to freeze three feet! Hey, I hope everything can be done in time!"

Generalissimo Jiang sighed softly, chatted for a while, and then changed the subject: "Is there any news from Myanmar? When will the battle start?"

The oppressive feeling that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building is really uncomfortable and frightening. Ever since he learned that the devils will increase their troops to 50 in the Myanmar theater, Chairman Jiang has always felt that a big stone has been pressed on his chest. I don't want to miss rice!

In the Burmese theater, there are not only the direct line troops of the Central Army of the 4 armies, especially the 5th Army of Du Yuming, but also the ace army, which is the heart of Chairman Jiang.

What's more important is the important military location of Myanmar. Only by keeping the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway can we continuously obtain military supplies.

Although the American continent was restrained and harassed by the Japanese army, the industrial output was greatly affected, resulting in a significant reduction in the amount of blood transfusion.

However, the industrial base in northern Myanmar built with American assistance will soon be put into operation on a large scale, and by then Myanmar will become the most important military supplies source for the Nationalist government.

Therefore, Generalissimo Jiang did not want to fall short in any case, and finally ended up with "stealing chickens and losing rice"!

Chapter 970

Chen Cheng quickly replied: "Reporting to the principal, there is no new progress in the war in Burma.

The 18th Army of the Japanese Army is moving up along the Salween River Dong'an, and the 15th Army, 19th Army, and 20th Army are pointing at the Mawlamyine Line of Defense and the Salween River Line of Defense respectively.

Except that the 18th Army of the Devils has already entered the Shan State Plateau. According to the judgment and analysis, there is a high probability that within a day or two, the Devils will attack from three directions at the same time, and officially start the Battle of Burma! "

"Mother Xipi! What should come has finally come!"

Chairman Jiang gritted his teeth, and then he didn't know whether he was asking Chen Ran or his own thoughts: "50 vs. 50, can we win this battle?"

"this!"

Chen Ran was dumbfounded for a while, and really didn't know how to answer the words.

In the current comparison of the combat power of the enemy and ourselves in the Chinese battlefield, a Japanese army division can fight against 3 to 4 divisions of the Chinese army."

What's more, half of the 50 Japanese troops in the Burmese theater are well-equipped and fiercely combating veteran Class A divisions, and they are also supported by a powerful air force and navy.

So that is to say, under normal circumstances, the 50 Japanese Burmese dispatched troops need at least 150 million to 200 million Chinese troops to barely compete.

At present, the total number of Huaxia Expeditionary Forces in the Burmese theater is only a little over 50, and more than one-third of them are recruits who have just joined the army for a month or two!

Under the comparison of such a series of military data, there is no doubt that the Burmese Chinese Expeditionary Army can only be defeated. The only difference is how long it can hold on and how miserable the defeat is!

Of course, it is absolutely impossible for Chen Cheng to tell the truth at this time. Instead, he groaned while avoiding the seriousness: "Once the battle officially starts, the Burmese theater will definitely be cruel and fierce like never before. Our army is indeed under great pressure!"

"It's more than a lot of pressure!"

Generalissimo Jiang took a deep breath, stood up, walked to the map, and stared fixedly at the offensive and defensive map of Burma marked with bright red arrows, without saying a word for a long time.

Seeing that Generalissimo Jiang was frowning and full of anxiety, Chen Ran comforted him softly again: "Although the Japanese army is powerful, our 50 Chinese Expeditionary Force is not bad, and basically completed the refitting of American weapons.

What's more, there is still a very strong air force in Myanmar, and Yang Fan directly controls more than 25 Tiger Army!

I think this Huben army alone can be worth 20 Japanese troops, right? ..."

Hearing this, Generalissimo Jiang interrupted in disbelief: "As Yang Fan, do you really have the ability to turn beans into soldiers? The most elite Japanese army of 50, plus the Japanese Air Force with 2 flying divisions and a A powerful task force, Yang Fan is covered in iron, how many nails can he drive?"

Naturally, Generalissimo Jiang desperately hoped that the Burma theater could create another miracle and inflict unprecedented damage on the Japanese army. However, he wanted to pin all his hopes on Yang Fan, but Generalissimo Jiang felt extremely uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Chen Cheng wanted to solve Chairman Jiang's worries and problems, but he didn't understand Chairman Jiang's meaning for a while, so he quickly explained: "Although Yang Fan is not good at active attack, he is very good at defensive warfare. He has won many times with less, maybe this time... ..."

"Okay! It's getting late, Cixiu, you should go back and rest early!"

Chairman Jiang waved his hand lightly, obviously not wanting to hear Chen Cheng continue.

"Principal, please take care of yourself, and you should rest early!"

It was only then that Chen Cheng realized that he had "slapped the horse's ass on the horse's leg", quickly stopped talking, closed his mouth, bowed slightly to Chairman Jiang, and exited the study.

After Chen Cheng walked away, Generalissimo Jiang walked to the balcony with heavy steps.

It was already eight or nine o'clock in the evening, the night had completely descended on the earth, and there was already a shadow in front of my eyes, as if Chairman Jiang was full of worry and bewilderment in his heart!

……

The Yang Mansion in the backyard of the Burmese Chief Command.

After Yang Fan finished the meeting, it was almost eleven o'clock when he returned to the villa building. At this time, Wu Qian, Xia Yu and their daughter Yang Xueyan were still awake!

Wu Qian and Yang Xueyan arrived in Myanmar half a month ago. Wu Qian became a good wife and mother in charge of the family's food and daily life, while Yang Xueyan was assigned to a government department for training.

"Didn't I call you and tell you to rest early? Don't do this in the future!"

After entering the house, he found that the whole family was waiting for him to come back. Yang Fan felt both warm and distressed.

If you put it in the modern people with rich nightlife, it is really normal to not go to bed at eleven o'clock in the evening, but now it belongs to the "three o'clock in the middle of the night" for real money.

"I know, let's not be an example!"

Wu Qian stuck out her tongue mischievously at Yang Fan, and then started busy serving Yang Fan tea, rubbing her shoulders and beating her back.

"Brother Fan, you have worked hard all day, let's soak your feet to relieve fatigue!"

At this time, Xia Yu came over with a basin of steaming water for washing feet.

"OK, thanks!"

Yang Fan nodded happily, closed his eyes and enjoyed it happily.

Originally, as a modern warm-hearted man, Yang Fan couldn't adapt to this "decaying" rhythm of life at the beginning, and even resisted being served in such a meticulous manner!

But "it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal." As time went by, Yang Fan eventually degenerated, and the habit of meeting became natural.

But having said that, just like "the happiest woman is a woman who has a basket of vegetables all her life", when Wu Qian and the three sisters took good care of their man, they were all joyful from the bottom of their hearts and did not feel aggrieved at all.

"Dad, your slippers!"

The little padded jacket put away the leather shoes for Yang Fan, and gently placed a pair of plastic slippers on both sides of the foot washing tray.

"Okay, my Xue'er is so good!"

Yang Fan nodded with a smile, and then asked: "You have been in Myanmar for half a month, have you gained anything or have any thoughts these days?"

"Dad, I feel so rewarded and thankful!

I just now understand, Dad, what do you mean when you often say "reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles, and traveling thousands of miles is not as good as reading countless people"! "

Hearing these words, Yang Xueyan immediately became elated, excited, her small mouth crackled like a machine gun, expressing all the feelings and understandings of these days.

This time, being able to fly thousands of kilometers away to see the customs of a foreign country and the magnificent frontline of the Anti-Japanese War is indeed an extremely fresh and unforgettable life experience for a 13-year-old girl.

"Okay, Xue'er, it's getting late. Your father has been tired all day and needs to go to bed early! You should go back to the house and go to sleep!"

After Yang Xueyan had a mouthful, Wu Qian interrupted with a smile on her face.

When her daughter walked towards her bedroom obediently, Wu Qian turned her head to look at Yang Fan and asked softly, "Brother Fan, is there a big battle going on?"
