"Before October, the world seemed to be in darkness. The Axis teams from the cold Soviet Russia to the hot Egypt, from the vast Pacific Ocean to the rainy season, the flag of the bar and the sun seemed unstoppable; but after October, God's mercy finally came to the suffering people...

In Alaman, the smart and cunning desert fox was defeated by General Montgomery, and Rommel left tens of thousands of soldiers to escape from Egypt; on the banks of the Volga River, the mad German army was exhausted, and the Volga River was right in front of him, but the Germans were unable to rush to the river.

In the forests of northern Myanmar, the Chinese Expeditionary Force commanded by General Yu Jishi won the victory of the Myitkyina defense battle after more than a month of arduous battles. This was an arduous victory….0”

Weber put down his pen and opened the window. The morning light showed a hint of white fish in the sky. The battle of northern Myanmar has ended, and the expeditionary force is pursuing the fleeing Japanese army. The gunshots are far away from Myitkyina, but he feels that it still echoes in his ears.

The Expeditionary Force correctly judged the intentions of the 7th Japanese army and cleverly designed them. First, Yu Chengwanxin Eighth Army defended to Mo for half a month to achieve the goal of consuming the Japanese army. Then, he led Iida Xiangjiro to Myita and lured him to attack Myitkyina. The main force was deployed in the northeast and southwest of Dongzhina. Wang Yaowu led the 74th Army to defend Myitkyina.

The battle of Myitkyina lasted for a week. The Japanese army successively captured all the commanding heights around Myitkyina, occupied the airport outside the city, and attacked Myitkyina city. Wang Yaowu commanded the entire army to defend the death. At the most dangerous time, the Japanese army occupied half of Myitkyina city. Wang Chuanwu's own guard launched a counterattack to curb the offensive of the 7th. The good luck of the Japanese army ended here.

In mid-November, Bai Chongxi and Yu Jishi commanded the 103rd Army, the 2nd Army, the 54th Army, the 108th Army, and the 17th British Army launched a scattered attack on the periphery. After two days of hard fighting, the 103rd Army and the 2nd Army tore open the Japanese defense line from the north and south wings and rushed into Myitkyina. The 54th Army, the 108th Army, and the 17th British Army interspersed from a long distance and rushed straight to Bamo.

Iida Xiangjiro suddenly woke up and found that he had been fooled by Yu Jishi. He quickly drew reinforcements from Lashi, but this move was long ago been predicted by Bai Chongxi. While the Myitkyina counterattacked, Lu Han from the middle line also led his troops to counterattack, entangled Tanaka Shinichi. Tanaka Shinichi gave up Lashi and retreated to Mount Papani.

Lu Han then used the 65th Army to restrain the Japanese army in front, and led the 58th Army to pursue the west, attacking the 18th Division and the 55th Division from behind.

Lu Han's actions strongly supported the Myitkyina operation, but the British 17th Division did not complete the task and failed to seize Bamo. The Zhiben Regiment of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army took the lead in occupying Bamo and launched a fierce battle with the British army who arrived later. Although it had been a month of combat and the ammunition was extremely scarce, the Japanese army still stubbornly defended Bamo.

But the end of the Myitkyna Battle is irreversible. Iida Yoshiro could not stop the expeditionary army's counterattack. Japanese soldiers waved the 38 guns that had already fired the last bullet, rushed towards the Chinese soldiers who were swarming in, and knocked out the last grenade.

In the sky, there were fighter jets of the Expeditionary Force, and on the ground, there were Chinese people with red eyes and excitement. They were defeated by the Japanese. The four divisions of the Expeditionary Force retreated to Bamo. Like four cheetahs in the jungle, they kept coming out of the jungle and tearing off pieces of meat from the Japanese. The Japanese fled to Bamo in a hurry, leaving all the wounded and all the heavy weapons along the way.

This time, the squadron did not stop when it rebelled, but pursued resolutely. As soon as Iida Xiangjiro entered Mo, the vanguard of the 103rd Army, Lu Ruishan** Division, then immediately launched an attack. It seemed that he had only more than 100,000 people, and the Japanese troops in the city had more than 30,000. Half a day later, the New 38th Division and the New 22nd Division also arrived; the 2nd Army led by Huang Botao immediately appeared southwest of Bamo.

Iida Yoshiro did not dare to stay in Yamo anymore, leaving some infantry to block the attack. The main force withdrew from Yamo that night and fled to Mandalay. Iida Iida Shinichi immediately gave up Papani Mountain and fled to Mandalay. The expeditionary army ate Yamo Japanese army, then recovered Meimiao, Xibu, Mysson and other cities, and the entire army pressed towards Mandalay.

The Battle of Myitkyina ended with a crushing defeat of the Japanese army. In this battle, the Japanese army lost more than 60,000 troops, and the materials reserved in half a year were consumed. The commander of the 51st Division, Nakaya, died in battle. The commander of the 71st Division, Yuanshan, was seriously injured. The remaining commanders and officers below the corps commander were injured and injured. After Iida Xiangji escaped back to Mandalay, he immediately committed suicide by breaking his stomach.

Yu Jishi once again had a dispute with Stilwell about whether to attack Mandalay. When the troops recovered Mei Miao and attacked outside Mandalay City, Yu Jishi firmly stopped the attack. Stilwell was angry again, but this time he was very clever and did not argue with Yu Jishi face to face, but telegraphed Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek did not intervene, but asked Bai Chongxi to fly from Kunming to the front line to mediate the conflict between Stilwell and Yu Jishi.

What disappointed Stilwell was that after Bai Chongxi considered the overall situation, he made the same decision as Yu Jishi, stopping the attack and turning to rest.

"A month and a half battle have exhausted the troops, and the troops have suffered huge casualties, and the goods are also very scarce. The strategic day of combat in northern Myanmar has reached its peak. Mandalay is already the meat in our hands. When we eat it, it depends on when we are happy. Now we are going to rest and maintain the victory of the northern Myanmar battle.

After two battles in Lashio and northern Myanmar, we have reversed the entire situation in Myanmar. The Japanese army has lost their offensive capabilities in Myanmar, and the initiative is in our hands. We can fight according to our ideas.

"General Stilwell, the Chairman asked me to tell you that there is no rush to recover Myanmar." After the meeting, Bai Chongxi left Stilwell and Yu Jishi: "Our eyes cannot only see the Japanese army in Myanmar, but we must see the Japanese army in the entire Southeast Asia. With our current strength, we may be able to conquer Mandalay, but we will inevitably attract the Japanese army in the entire Southeast Asia to Myanmar. This will surpass our strength. General, you have a lot of time to train the troops now. The Chairman agreed to reorganize the Expeditionary Force according to the US military organization, including ten armies, forty to five hundred thousand people. With this force, we can set out from here and fight to Singapore."

"I agree to the reorganization of the troops, but I have to remind you that the Chairman once promised that I have all the power over the reorganization of the troops, including the right to advise on personnel." Stilwell accepted this decision helplessly. He secretly decided in his heart that the reorganization of the expeditionary army must be controlled by him, including the choice of generals. Bai Chongxi agreed with full permission, and then he said: "We have an engineering unit that has received equipment in India. In addition, we have transferred about 30,000 migrant workers, and we also have to mobilize tens of millions of migrant workers. It is planned to build a highway from Ledo, India to Baoshan in western Yunnan in half a year.

After the Battle of Northern Myanmar, China judged that the Japanese could no longer attack within half a year. After receiving the news of the Myitkyina victory, Chiang Kai-shek immediately sent Roosevelt to the construction of the proposed China-Indian highway. Before that, the engineers led by Yu Peilian had entered India, and the United States also sent two regiments of engineers into India.

One of the important reasons why the US engineers came so quickly is that Marshall believes that once the battle in northern Myanmar fails, the Sichuan-Mi Highway will become crucial, and the Sichuan-Tibet Highway must be expanded, and the Indian section must also be constructed at a faster pace. Therefore, after obtaining Churchill's consent, Yu Peidi led the Chinese engineers into India for operations. The US also sent two regiments of engineers. The Indian Governor's Office mobilized 50,000 Indian migrant workers to join the road construction.

Before this, the Duke of Sichuan and Tibet reached the Naedula Pass on the Sino-Indian border. To the south of the Naedula Pass was the Sikkim Kingdom that was annexed by India for 15 years and became a Sikkim state. After the British occupied Sikkim, in order to strengthen their control over Sikkim, they built a highway from India to Gangtok. At the same time, in order to strengthen their infiltration into the country, the British built a highway from Gangtok to the border area. What Yu Peidi did in India was to connect these two roads.

Redo is the intersection of railways in India. It is more than 500 kilometers from Redo to Myitkyina, and more than 100 kilometers from Myitkyina to the western border of Yunnan. The total length is more than 600 kilometers. The highways in China have been fully built, and the project volume is more than half less than the historical reality.

"The Chairman decided to mobilize 100,000 people from Hunan, Guangxi and Guizhou, of which 50,000 were supplemented with the consumption of this battle, and another 50,000 were expanded. This was the first batch, and the second batch of 50,000 people arrived in half a year."

Bai Suoxi said this and looked at Yu Jishi intentionally or unintentionally. The victory of the Battle of Northern Myanmar provided an opportunity. In the first period of Huangpu, Yu Jishi was one of Chiang Kai-shek's most valued fellow villagers. He and Chiang Kai-shek were authentic fellow villagers, both from Fenghua.

What made Chiang Kai-shek a little regretful was that Yu Jishi's record was still not high, and Chiang Kai-shek promoted him to the commander of the 88th Division. Huangpu classmates didn't say anything on the surface, but in fact they were not convinced. Yu Jishi also knew this, so during the Battle of Shanghai, they fought to the death, and Huangpu classmates stopped talking.

Now Yu Jishi has won the battle in northern Myanmar. I believe no one will say anything about such a record. Chiang Kai-shek completely let go of the promotion and use it. He spared no effort in expanding the army. Bai Chongxi believed that it would not take long before the expeditionary army commanded by Yu Jishi would be the best equipped unit in the squadron. In this way, Chiang Kai-shek had another choice after supporting Chen Cheng, Hu Zongnan and Tang Enbo. Bai Chongxi did not count Zhuang Jihua. He and Li Zongren knew that there was a big gap between Zhuang Jihua and the people supported by Chiang Kai-shek.

Yu Jishi did not realize the meaning of Bai Chongxi's vision. He was a little excited. Think about it, the 400,000 troops equipped with Lu Liang were about to be obtained. From then on, the golden swords and iron horses were swept to Fangqiu, swept the pear courtyard, and hit the yellow dragon, achieving the greatest dream of an umbrella soldier.

Bai Chongxi sighed slightly. Yu Jishi's political acumen is still much worse, but then he thought that Chiang Kai-shek's interest in him might be because of this.

After coming out of the conference room, Yu Jishi saw Shi Dixu chatting with Weber outside the courtyard. He had a good impression of Weber, not only because most of Weber's articles spoke for the Expeditionary Force, but more importantly, he had the same feelings as Zhuang Jihua, and Weber was a Westerner who was willing to understand the Chinese position.

After becoming the commander of the Expeditionary Force, Yu Jishi understood Zhuang Jihua's difficulties. The commander and the deputy commander were only one word different, but their rights and responsibilities were very different. As the deputy commander, just take care of himself well. But as the commander, everything must be taken care of. Before and after the war, soldiers, materials, road traffic, and everything must be considered.

Yu Jishi wanted to bypass Stilwell and Weber, but he did not avoid Weber's eyes. He quickly ended the interview with Stilwell and walked quickly to Yu Jishi.

Yu Jishi had no choice but to stop: "Mr. Weber, when did you arrive?" "Just arrived, your damn inspection system forced me to come to the headquarters." Weber pretended to complain.

Yu Jishi laughed and walked forward. Weber asked beside him: "General, after a huge victory, you look good." "Of course it's good." Yu Jishi smiled and turned against the defense and attacked: "Mr. Weber, what are you talking about with General Stilian just now?" "General Stilwell is full of confidence in regaining Mandalay. What are you?"

"Webbe" Yu Jishi stopped and turned his head to look at Webber, saying seriously: "I also think, I want to recover Yangon, but we can't do it. Our army is not strong enough now. In fact, our army's victory in Myanmar has strongly supported the Allies on the Pacific battlefield. In the battle of northern Myanmar, the Japanese army suffered heavy damage. If the Japanese want to make up for it, they can only draw troops from other strategic directions. The Allies will get a breather. Webber, Myanmar is not the main battlefield."

Weber was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this was the biggest difference between Stilwell and the two expeditionary forces commanders in their understanding. Stilwell's idea was self-evident. The Chinese believed that since this was not the main battlefield, the troops should not be concentrated here. Is this truth correct? Weber could not judge. "General, I heard that General Stilwell will be responsible for reorganizing all expeditionary forces. What do you think as the commander of the expeditionary force?"

"This is the Chairman's visionary decision." Yu Jishi knew very well the inside story of the decision. He did not fool Weber, but looked at Weber with a smile: "However, Mr. Weber, this is a military secret, you can't steal it to the Japanese in the newspaper."

Weber smiled and said, "Don't worry, I still know this after working with military reporters for so many years."

Yu Jishi didn't want to get along with Weber. He saw Bai Chongxi coming out of it at a glance, but then he smiled. There was also a high-nosed reporter next to Bai Chongxi, Times reporter Charles.

Weber followed Yu Jishi's gaze and couldn't help but smile: "General Yu, we will see you later. It seems that my colleagues have found a big goal." Double monthly tickets, calling for monthly tickets!!!
