The telegram from the attendant's room was soon delivered to Yangon.

After reading the telegram, Zhong Yi turned his head and asked Wang Geng: "Brother Shouqing, what do you think?"

Wang Geng said: "As far as I know, the Japanese did not make any major moves in the domestic battlefield, and the strength of the 13th Japanese Army on the front of the Zhejiang-Fujian battlefield was even weakened."

Stilwell said: "Chang Kaishen is he lying?"

Wang Geng smiled and said, "General Stilwell, this is not what I said."

Stilwell said: "Wang, isn't what I'm saying true?"

Wang Geng said to Zhong Yi again: "Master, how to deal with the materials?"

"What should I do?" Zhong Yi said, "You immediately call back the servant room and say that this batch of supplies has been transported to the Xidanghe front line and distributed to the front-line army, but it can no longer be found."

"Yes." Wang Geng nodded and asked someone to send a telegram to Chongqing.

Zhong Yi asked another staff officer and said, "Staff Wang, where are the officers and soldiers of the 1st Armored Regiment of the 200th Division?"

The 200th Division is the first truly mechanized heavy-armed division in the National Army sequence. It has five regiments under its jurisdiction and a total force of more than 20,000. The first division commander Du Yuming and the first chief of staff Qiu Qingquan.

When the 200th Division was just formed, Zhong Yi was still trained in the Luojia Mountain Officer Training Corps in Wuhan.

Zhong Yi and Du Yuming had no friendship, but they had a life-long relationship with Qiu Qingquan.

The 200th Division is the old army that Qiu Qingquan once stayed at, and has a very deep relationship.

Therefore, after receiving all the equipment of the 1st Armored Brigade from the British and Burmese Army, Zhong Yi immediately contacted Dai Anlan, the new commander of the 200th Division, through Qiu Qingquan.

The 200th Division was in full training in Quanzhou, Guangxi at that time.

After receiving Zhong Yi's telegram, Dai Anlan transferred all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Armored Regiment without saying a word, and even the regiment commander Hu Xianqun was directly seconded.

Of course, it was just that the personnel were seconded and there was no equipment.

Otherwise, Principal Chang should be cursing again, and Dai Anlan would be difficult to do.

However, for Zhong Yi and the Myanmar War Zone, it was enough for Hu Xianqun to come to Myanmar with all the officers and soldiers of the 1st Armored Regiment of the 200th Division, and the equipment was ready-made.

Staff Wang searched for the telegram and replied: "I just passed by Guilin in the morning."

"Just arrived in Guilin?" Zhong Yi frowned and said, "There are more than a thousand kilometers from Guilin to Kunming. It will be even further away from Yangon. According to this way, when will they reach Yangon?"

Wang Geng happened to come back after sending the telegram and said, "It will take at least half a month to go."

"More than half a month? By then, the daylily was already cold." Zhong Yi frowned and said, "This is not OK. Brother Shouqing, you immediately send a telegram to the China-Myanmar Transportation Bureau, offer a high price, and send two hundred trucks to Guangxi to pull over more than 4,000 officers and soldiers led by the commander of Hu Xianqun! Within a week, I must see them!"

"Yes!" Wang Geng agreed and hurried back to the communications office.

Stilwell asked: "Zhong, the Battle of Xidanghe is a defensive battle. Whether there is an armored brigade staff member has little influence, so the armored soldiers of Captain Hu's regiment does not matter much, either early or late."

If it were another general of the national army, most of them would not dare to refute Stilwell.

But Zhong Yi retorted without hesitation: "No, General Stilwell, you are wrong. Even if you are in defense, you cannot just defend passively, but you must carry out appropriate counterattacks!"

"Especially the counterattack at certain critical moments is very effective!"

"This armored brigade of Hu Xianqun is a sharp blade used to counterattack!"

Stilwell was not angry at Zhong Yi's rebuttal, and nodded and asked again: "Zhong, so, you have a specific plan for Hu Xianqun's armored brigade?"

Zhong Yi nodded and said, "I have already had a preliminary idea."

Stilwell asked with great interest: "Can you tell me?"

"Of course." Zhong Yi said, pointing to the map on the wall, "Here."

"Tindang?" Stilwell said in surprise, "Is there such a big gap between us?"

After a pause, Stilwell continued: "I originally thought that even if Hu Xianqun's armored brigade participated in the war, he would probably be given to Pan Wenhua's 23rd Army. Then, taking advantage of the Japanese army's fierce attack on the Xidanghe defense line, he rushed out of the jungle on the north side and launched an assault from north to south to the Japanese army. But now it seems that you are not thinking that way."

Zhong Yi said: "General Stilwell, you are a regular operation and belong to the right path."

"The right way?" Stilwell said, "Why shouldn't you take the right way when you fight?"

Zhong Yi said: "Sun Tzu said that in the art of war, using the right combination and winning oddly is to say that under the premise of having the advantage, we should cooperate with the enemy with a dignified and upright momentum. However, when we are at a disadvantage, we cannot just fight head-on, but should win unexpectedly."

"At present, our army is at a disadvantage."

"If the armored brigade is allocated to the 23rd Army, when the Xidanghe defense line is in a hurry, it will break out from the jungle on the north side and launch an assault on the Japanese army from north to south. Due to the long distance, it will lose its suddenness. The Japanese army will have sufficient time to allocate troops to block or even targeted counterattacks."

"But if the armored brigade was allocated to the 27th Army and hidden in Xidang City."

"When the Xidanghe defense line was in a hurry, the armored brigade suddenly broke out from Xidang City, and it could kill the Japanese army at a loss. Even if it could not reverse the situation, it would be enough to cause chaos in the Japanese army."

"And if the command is good, it can even cause fatal damage to the Japanese army on the east coast!"

"Zhong, I admit that what you said is reasonable." Stilwell easily figured out the power of it, and immediately questioned, "However, the question is, how should the armored brigade hide?"

"There are residents in Xidang city, and villages also exist along the way."

"The Armored Brigade is heading to Tindang, and it is impossible not to be discovered."

"The Japanese army only needs to inquire about it and discover the whereabouts of the armored brigade."

"Once the Japanese army knows that the Armored Brigade is hiding in the city of Sidang, it will lose its suddenness, right?"

"Yes, you're very correct." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "So it's necessary for us to transfer all the people nearby, in the name of war."

Stilwell asked in surprise: "Is this why you came to Bamo?"

As soon as Stilwell finished speaking, the guards came in to report: "Sir, Myanmar Prime Minister Bamo asked for a meeting."

"Please come in." Zhong Yi agreed and said to Stilwell again, "Let's go and meet together."

"You guy, it turns out that you have calculated everything." Stilwell said with a wry smile, "What's ridiculous is that I, as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone, didn't know anything about it in advance."

"Oh, no, you are wrong with General Stilwell." Zhong Yi said, "I'm just going to make a temporary decision."
