Take Taobao to fight against Japan

"Yes!"

Xu Zhihui responded quickly, and then ran away in a hurry.

The 6st Army Headquarters.

"What? The 66th Army can't stand it so soon?"

After receiving the urgent call for help from Zhang Zhen, Gan Lichu immediately frowned, and said angrily: "The 66th Army has more than 3 people, and they are all equipped with beautiful equipment. They have been fighting for a long time and the whole line is in emergency. What the hell are you doing?"

As a close friend of Chairman Jiang, Gan Lichu has been loyal to Chairman Jiang from the beginning to the end, and the Sixth Army, as a direct line of the Central Committee, has always been very strong in terms of weapons and equipment and will to fight.

Especially after changing into advanced American equipment this time, the 6th Army has improved a lot in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will. Therefore, although they have suffered the hard attack of 2 Devil Class A divisions, the current position It was still very stable, and it fought the devils very well.

In the original history, Gan Lichu was dismissed in the name of incompetent command and incompetence in the battle in Myanmar. In addition to her bad relationship with Stilwell, she was implicated to a large extent by the collapse of the 66th Army.

Deputy Army Commander Zhou Zhiqun said in a deep voice at this time: "The 66th Army is a temporary army formed for the purpose of forming an expeditionary force. Except for the new 38th Division reorganized from the Tax Police Headquarters, the combat effectiveness of the other two divisions is acceptable. All weak.

The 18th Army of the Devils are basically Japanese veterans with rich combat experience. This time, they were stimulated by the serious setback in the defeat of the Salween River defense line.

The pressure on the 66th Army is indeed great, and it is not surprising that it is difficult to parry for a while. "

Gan Lichu said angrily: "Although that's the case! But the beautiful equipment in their hands is not a firestick, and they can't stand it in just half a day. It's not justified anyway!

Take a look at the 22nd Army Group. In the past, they always laughed at others as a beggar army of motley crews, but now they are able to withstand and defeat the violent attack of an army of devils under the violent bombardment of devils' planes and cannons! "

Speaking of this, Gan Lichu really felt ashamed of being ashamed of the 66th Army. Although the 66th Army is not a direct line of the central government, it is still an upright national army sequence, and it receives more attention than local cannon fodder troops like the 22nd Army And the treatment you enjoy is much better, right?

But why are they so unwilling to give Chairman Chiang a face?

After a pause, Gan Lichu's lingering anger still lingered, and she continued to vomit: "Our 6th Army is being attacked by two Division A divisions of devils. We are now under a bit more pressure than them. Why don't we let the little devils Can't move an inch?

How dare these cowards ask us for help?I'm ashamed of them all! "

"Brother Riru, now is not the time to speak out."

Zhou Zhiqun sighed softly, and said earnestly: "Our army and the 66th Army are the horns of each other. If the 66th Army is quickly defeated, our army may not be able to survive alone. Our lips are dead and our teeth are cold."

Gan Lichu waved her hand angrily and said, "Now that the highway bridge has been blown up by devils, even if we want to cross the river to save them, we don't have the ability!

What's more, we now only have the power to parry and have no power to fight back. It is not easy for our army to barely hold the position. Where can we get reinforcements to rescue them now? "

"..."

Seeing Gan Lichu's resolute attitude and just wanting to clear the door, Zhou Zhiqun could only keep silent.

Headquarters of the Yangon Commander, Myanmar.

After watching the first show of the rocket artillery unit on the spot, Yang Fan and others returned to Yangon by helicopter.

As soon as the front foot arrived at the headquarters, Stilwell received a telegram from the 66th Army asking for help, so he rushed to find Yang Fan, frowned and said, "Yang, take a quick look at this! What the hell is the 66th Army doing? Could it be that their line of defense is made of bean curd?"

Yang Fan picked up the telegram and glanced at it, then snorted coldly: "The 66th Army is in a hurry so soon? Are these guys all food?"

Yang Fan was really upset. Although he didn't have much hope for the 66th Army or even the 6th Army, you have to fight for your breath anyway, and you have to consume a wave of devils' vitality and vigor!

Stilwell frowned and said, "What should we do now? Should we immediately order the 71st Army to support the 66th Army?"

Stilwell is actually a very thoughtful and assertive person, but now he has been with Yang Fan for a long time and is used to the rhythm of lying and flying, so he gradually developed the habit of listening to Yang Fan's opinions first.

Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! The American equipment of the 66th Army is not fire sticks. They are just too fearful of the enemy and cannot display their combat effectiveness!"

Stilwell raised his eyebrows and said, "Yang, you mean to let the 66th Army continue to hold its ground?"

Yang Fan nodded and said, "That's right, at least they have to hold out for two days before they can retreat!"

"Hold on for two days before retreating?"

Stilwell chewed on the words for a while, and then suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and seemed to have grasped a certain point: "Yang, you mean to let the Japanese army in and then close the door and beat the dogs?"

Chapter 1002

Yang Fan nodded with a smile and said: "It means that the terrain of Myanmar is actually not complicated. There are not many areas where large corps can fight. Among them, the Central Railway and the waterway of the Irrawaddy River are the most convenient. The deadlocked Salween River defense line is next.

As for the Shan State plateau in northern Myanmar, it is a jungle area with complex terrain. Although it is very suitable for sniper warfare and ambush warfare, the harsh and complex geographical environment is fair to both sides, and it will pose a great test of survival. It is not suitable for large-scale encirclement and suppression war.

Therefore, while gradually digesting the active forces of the Japanese army, we must gradually attract the Japanese army to fight on the front lines of Darcy, Mandalay, and Lashio. "

"It's true, only by setting a long line can you catch big fish!"

Stilwell nodded in deep thought, and said with a smile: "If the Japanese 18th Army can be eaten in one go, the entire Burma war can be completely revitalized!"

Yang Fan looked coldly and said: "So, the 6th Army and the 66th Army must fight a few decent tough battles with the Japanese devils, no matter how much they pay, they will nail me to death for two days!"

This is by no means Yang Fan's black belly, wanting to take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents, but the request for the 6th Army and the 66th Army to stick to it for two days is reasonable.

The Huben Army can fight desperately, and the 31st Army, the 22nd Army, and the 5th Army can all fight the devils desperately. Why can't these two armies placed in the rear be desperate?

Stilwell nodded heavily and said, "Okay, that's the decision! I'll call Zhang Chen right now!"

At this time Yang Fan continued: "Also tell them that we will do our best to support the Air Force, but don't hold out too much hope."

The Huben Army Air Force and Chennault Air Brigade stationed at Mandalay Airport had fought fiercely with the Japanese Air Force many times before. Although they achieved great results, they destroyed and shot down hundreds of Japanese combat aircraft.

But at the same time, the damage rate of our own combat aircraft is also very high. In order to ensure the safety of the industrial base in northern Myanmar, we must preserve a considerable amount of strength. Therefore, our current air force is only suitable for guerrilla warfare, not for stud and devil air forces.

There is no way, the west coast of the continental United States has been harassed by the Japanese combined fleet and has suffered severe blood loss. The Americans are overwhelmed and can no longer provide sufficient military assistance to the Burmese theater.

Even if the Dongxing Commercial Group Company is now very rich, it cannot buy enough combat aircraft to supplement consumption with money.

As for the purchase of wealth points, it is still a drop in the bucket, because there are too many places to spend money, and Yang Fan must maintain a certain amount of wealth points for emergencies, so the replenishment of the combat aircraft of the Flying Tigers mainly depends on his own aircraft factory. Now in use.

"Okay, no problem, I'll call Zhang Chen right now!"

After solving the problem, Stilwell left with a sigh of relief.

"Boss, there's a telegram from home."

Not long after Stilwell walked out of the office, Huang Hong came to the door and said while gently placing the telegram on the desk:

"In addition to the 12th and 13th armies that have besieged us for a long time, the devils have transferred 5 whole divisions from China, and there are more than [-] puppet troops. It seems that they are going to attack our hometown."

"Ok!"

Yang Fan nodded, read the telegram at a glance, and said in a deep voice: "These are all expected, the devils are not made of mud, we made them anxious, and the devils will naturally turn around and fight us desperately.

Tell Miao Dadong not to be cowardly, continue to maintain the current offensive rhythm, and just play steadily! "

"Yes."

Huang Hong nodded quickly, and then said: "President, Andrei, the Soviet representative of the Communist International, sent a telegram saying that they have received the exact news:

Ishihara Wanji, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, is planning a military adventure against the Soviet Army in the Far East, which may cause the Japanese government to change its national policy and instead attack the Soviet Union with Germany from north to south.

Andre asked us to fulfill our commitment to strengthen the attack on the Japanese army. It is best to get in touch with the red regime as soon as possible to contain the Kwantung Army that is about to move. "

"The main force of the Kwantung Army is now in Burma. Even if Ishihara Waner wants to take risks, he can only be a smart woman who can't cook without rice. What do they have to be afraid of?"

Yang Fan raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice, "Tell him not to worry, after the crisis in Burma is resolved, I will naturally return to China to launch a large-scale strategic counterattack against the little devil."

Huang Hong chuckled and said: "The Soviets are at the end of their rope now. They were beaten by the Germans with no power to fight back. If Britain and the United States hadn't opened up the Persian Corridor and received a lot of military aid, I'm afraid they would not be able to survive now." up.

Unfortunately, however, Germany has massively increased its troops in North Africa, and the German-Italian coalition led by Rommel is now like a fish in water, defeating the Anglo-American coalition forces, and Egypt is about to fall.

Alas, if Germany captures Egypt and opens up the Suez Canal, it can further attack the Middle East and obtain massive oil and gas resources.

This is not a good thing for the entire Allied Forces! "

Yang Fan nodded and said: "According to the current situation, there is really such a possibility. Rommel is indeed a great tactical expert. At the beginning, only the North African Army, which can be called a motley army, was able to compete with the British and American coalition forces.

Some time ago, it got another 200 million new forces, and now it is like a tiger with wings added. It is not easy for the British and American coalition forces to persist until now. "

Yang Fan sighed softly, this is also the uncontrollable risk factor that makes him extremely worried: Germany in the current time and space is too powerful.

Once the British and American coalition forces can't bear it, they lose Egypt, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and other Middle East regions one after another. In this case, Germany will have enough Persian Gulf oil. In turn, the Persian Corridor will be cut off, and the Soviet Union will be completely desperate. The war zone and even China will be threatened by Germany.

The chain reaction produced by this kind of back and forth was too terrifying, and it was simply not something Yang Fan could stand alone.

In fact, in addition to Germany's horizontal push from North Africa to attack the Middle East, there is another shortcut, which is to enter the Middle East directly from Turkey.

Most of Turkey's territory is on the peninsula of Asia Minor, controlling the Turkish Straits.If Germany can capture Turkey, then in a strategic sense, it can not only encircle the Soviet Union, but also attack the Middle East to obtain sufficient oil and gas resources.

However, Turkey is a neutral country and has a very good relationship with Germany. It often transports some energy supplies with Germany, which can be regarded as a quasi-ally relationship.

In addition, Turkey is the most powerful country in West Asia, with a population of 2000 million. The terrain of the country is very complicated, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops stationed there. It is also a typical Islamic country with strong national cohesion.

So Germany chose a strenuous offensive route, and has made great progress so far, and is not far from the initial strategic goal.

Chapter 1003 The straw that broke the camel's back

American White House.

"Your Excellency, this is General Stilwell's good news from the Burmese battlefield."

Just as Roosevelt, Hull, and Marshall were staring at the cold battle reports full of sadness and helplessness, the beautiful secretary, stepping on cheerful steps, placed a telegram in Roosevelt's office. on the desk.

"Oumai Karma, finally some exciting good news."

Hearing the word "good news", Roosevelt immediately regained his spirits. He quickly took the telegram and read it, and cheered at that time.

"Great!"

The Secretary of State Helton next to him was refreshed for a while, and after reading the telegram, he nodded and said: "After reading so much bad news, there is finally an exciting good news, although this is only a temporary victory. "

"Ness!"

Marshall, who has always been picky, couldn't help but frown. He waved his fist vigorously and said, "The Burmese theater has done a good job. I finally see some hope!"

?Hull asked with a smile: "Your Excellency, does this mean that there has been a critical turning point in the Burmese theater? Does it mean that the Burmese theater can hold off the massive Japanese attack?"

"Not this one."

Roosevelt shook his head slightly, and continued: "However, this is indeed good news. The Chinese army's hearty victory will not only boost morale, but also make the Japanese have doubts and hesitation, and even It's the fear of the enemy."

After a pause, Roosevelt said in an expectant tone: "I really hope that this anticipated Chinese commander can create a real miracle and win the final victory in the Battle of Burma.

This will inevitably strongly curb the Japanese offensive in Myanmar. Next, it will be the turn of our allied forces to launch a counterattack in the Myanmar theater.

Damn it, we've had enough of blind passive defense, we've had enough of being useless, and now there's finally a battlefield that's about to turn into a battlefield counterattack!

That's right, it's time for our allied forces to launch a strategic counteroffensive! "

At this time, Marshall poured cold water on him: "Your Excellency, the strategic counteroffensive may be too early. The troops dispatched by Japan to Burma are far from broken, and their next offensive will only become more threatening.

However, the rocket launcher mentioned by General Stilwell is indeed a weapon of war, and we need to step up mass production as soon as possible, presumably it will play a big role on the battlefield in the future. "

Hearing this, Roosevelt couldn't help complaining: "I really don't know how that Chinese person designed such an advanced new artillery. Why couldn't so many American arms companies design it first? Now we have to give it to the Chinese people. Pay patent fees?"

Now Dongxing Trading Company can be said to have become a runaway wild horse, and its subsidiaries in real estate, film and television, catering, medicine, clothing, retail, etc. have all become unicorns in the industry, and the whole thing is fat.

Even President Roosevelt felt some inexplicable worries and fears about this behemoth. He was really afraid that the Chinese-controlled Dongxing Trading Company would grow into a monster that would control the lifeline of the American economy in the future.

If it weren't for the fact that everything run by Dongxing Trading Company was reasonable and legal, and it had generously donated a large sum of money to charity not long ago, President Roosevelt might already be considering how to restrict Dongxing Trading Company.

The United States has been a pragmatic country from the very beginning.

The so-called democracy and fairness, as well as the spirit of the Constitution, are conditional and not as glamorous as they are preached on paper.

And this condition is interest.

For profit, they can tear off the mask of hypocrisy, and even cooperate with demons!

That's why they sold a large amount of steel and crude oil to Japan at the beginning of the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and before the Japanese attacked the Hawaiian Islands, and helped Japan produce weapons and equipment in large quantities.

But precisely because of this, they ended up with bad results and reaped the consequences themselves.

The Japanese made aerial bombs with steel purchased from the United States, and used combat aircraft purchased from the United States to drop the bombs on Hawaii and on their heads.

So the Americans were completely enraged, and began to vigorously assist China in fighting Japan in turn.

The so-called beheading business is done by some people, and no one asks for the loss-making business. Naturally, this kind of assistance will not be a free donation.

The weapons and equipment and industrial production equipment provided by the U.S. government to the Nationalist Government and the Chinese Expeditionary Force were not free, but only leased.

The so-called lease is naturally borrowed and repaid, either in kind or in money.

This includes aid to Britain and the Soviet Union.

So after the Second World War, the wealth of the United States will account for more than [-]% of the world's wealth. It really is a big fat man!

At this moment, Hull asked again: "Your Excellency, what do you think of General Stilwell's proposal?"

While happily reporting the victory, Stilwell mentioned again in the telegram:

He said that Chairman Chiang was short-sighted and had no strategic vision at all. He said that the Nationalist Government was so rotten that it was not worthy of investment and support from the U.S. government. He also solemnly proposed that the weapons and equipment originally agreed to be leased to the Nationalist Government be lent to the Chinese Expeditionary Army.
