It is meaningless to China to live in Yangmi in the second half. It is a port that can be relied on. Although Guangzhou has been recovered, it is still blocked by the Japanese Navy. Large and strategic materials cannot be landed here at all.

"If we want to defend Yangon, we should enter Myanmar now," Chen Mingren said: "Build defensive positions in the line of Maotanjin and Jingdong, use these positions to consume the strength of the Japanese army, and then gather to annihilate them.

Zhuang Jihua still didn't speak, and it was impossible to enter Myanmar now. The British had changed their issue of cooperation in fighting against Japan. After the Japanese army entered Indochina, the British's attitude became more positive. Dennis, the new embassy military officer, took the initiative to contact him. He hoped that the two sides could cooperate in fighting against Japan, but after the outbreak of the Soviet-Japanese War, the British's attitude immediately made a 180-degree turn. Their secret arrival in Myanmar this time was a proof that the British would not agree to the squadron entering Myanmar now.

"Commander, don't worry about what the British think, our two armies will go over and see what to do if he sees him?" Xia Yanglin looked down on the British from the bottom of his heart. These British people have neither the strength to protect Myanmar nor are willing to seek help from China, for fear of losing the face of the empire that will never set in the future.

"What nonsense?" Dai Anlan's face sank: "If this is the case, the British will join forces with the Japanese to deal with us.

"Impossible" Xia Yanglin waved his hand: "Absolutely impossible, don't forget that they are the steel axis, and they have to be together for shit and fart."

Shang Zhen couldn't help but smile. He had the shadow of West Point Military Academy. He didn't know that he thought he was from Green Forest and could not read two words. But don't say it, he said it makes sense. The British really couldn't unite with the Japanese unless they were willing to surrender to the Germans.

"These British people, only when the Japanese bombs landed on their heads, could they wake up and Yu Chengwan shook his head, and the New Eighth Army was stationed on the border. Now everything is ready. Just wait for the order to be issued.

Listening to everyone's talk, Zhuang Jihua suddenly smiled: "The British's abacus may be wrong. Let me tell you one thing. The Yunnan-Burma Highway is not our only transportation route to connect with the outside world. We also have the Sichuan-Tibet Highway. Four years ago, we started to build this road and will be fully connected next spring. The engineering troops led by General Yu Peilin have made great contributions. "With this road, we will bargain with the capital. At most, we can build more trucks and take the Sichuan-Tibet Highway." Zhuang Jihua paused. Everyone's reaction was that Shang Zhen was keeping his demeanor slightly, while others collectively realized.

"But politically, we are required to go abroad to fight, so we still have to go to Myanmar, but we are not going to help the British, but building an outer barrier for western Yunnan. So in the report submitted to the Chairman, we must estimate various possibilities. In addition, the issue of military strength, the Director of Commerce said it well. It is absolutely not enough to rely on the two armies at present. I think at least five reorganized troops are needed, that is, 250,000 to 300,000. In terms of technical weapons, Myanmar is mountainous, and tanks do not have much use, so there is no need for many tanks." The blade heavy artillery does not require too many, one regiment is enough.

"Secondly, the formation of guerrilla detachments is full of mountains and jungles in Myanmar, which is conducive to guerrilla warfare. The hundreds of special forces members trained by Colonel Song Yunfei and Colonel Zhao Hanjie are far from enough. After the war begins, the remaining units will be formed on their own."

"When will the troops enter Myanmar? It is up to the Chairman to decide. One thing that everyone should be relieved. Once Japan goes south, it will first target the United States, whether we are willing to send troops or not, whether the British agree to us to enter. Finally, we will enter Myanmar to fight, because the United States will ask us to keep Myanmar or India and use it as a bridgehead to counterattack South Asia. So don't be lucky, we will eventually fight against the Japanese army in Myanmar in Myanmar.

When Shang Zhen thought that Yangon might not be able to be saved, these generals were all disheartened and some were unwilling to contribute to the British.

Zhuang Jihua then divided the work, and he was responsible for writing military and diplomatic reports and providing combat strategies; Shang Zhen was responsible for the dynamics of the British in Myanmar, Dai Anlan and Xia Yanglin were responsible for drafting the Mandalay defense deployment, Chen Mingren and Huang Botao were responsible for drafting the South Myanmar combat plan, and Shang Zhen brought two staff members were responsible for drafting the logistics support game. All plans were finally reviewed and approved by Zhuang Jihua before they were reported to Chiang Kai-shek.

By the end of November, the entire East Asian battlefield seemed relatively quiet, except for some small-scale firefighting. Both the Chinese and Japanese armies stopped large-scale combat, and even the war on the battlefield behind enemy lines calmed down. The only big battle occurred in the Xiangyuan, where the Eighth Route Army Division crossed the entire grassland, fought to the Sino-Mongolia border, and then entered Mongolia.

After receiving the report, Chiang Kai-shek just smiled faintly and told Hu Zongnan and Fu Zuoyi that it would not interfere or assist. It was expected that the Soviet Union equipped the Eighth Route Army, but there was no free lunch in the world. Since he had taken the Soviet Union's weapons, he should contribute to the Soviet Union and could no longer hide it.

The actions of the Eighth Route Army attracted the attention of the Japanese army. This area was a confrontation between the Japanese army and Fu Zuoyi's troops. The Fu Zuoyi's troops had extremely high combat effectiveness. The Japanese army was on a defensive position in this area. If the Eighth Route Army was invested here again, the Japanese army would be unbearable. Naosaburo Okabe, the commander of the Mongolian garrison army, hurriedly requested the increase of troops, and Mijiro Umezu drew a B-type division from the troops attacking the Soviet Union to station in Baotou.

But what surprised Chiang Kai-shek and Mejiro Umezu was that after the Eighth Route Army entered the Mongolian border, it disappeared immediately, as if it had never happened, which was confusing.

The US's attack situation gradually relaxed, but the negotiations did not make any progress. After the Japanese envoy arrived in Washington, he held three rounds of negotiations with Secretary of State Hull, who refused to give in during the negotiations. On the contrary, he added a new condition, requiring the Japanese army to withdraw troops from China's Soviet Union and Indochina and abandon Manchukuo. This new demand angered all Japanese generals, and calls for war were heard throughout the entire army building.

On December 6, Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Fifth Army, which was gathered on the border of Guangxi and Guangdong, to be renovated in the west, to be transferred to Guizhou. The Fifth Army is China's strategic reserve team, with two infantry troops and one tank division. The entire army is all American-style equipment, with 340 tanks and 200 armored vehicles.

In addition, the 66th Army was transferred from the Fourth War Zone, and the 58th Army was transferred from the Fifth War Zone to western Yunnan. The 58th Army was the Yunnan Army. Chiang Kai-shek did not want to transfer the Yunnan Army back to Yunnan, but Lu Han led the soldiers of the 58th Army to write letters several times. He asked to lead the Yunnan soldiers to southern Yunnan to fight against the Japanese invaders and protect the relatives of his hometown.

Lu Han's request was filled with tears, "The soldiers bravely fought against the bent enemies in front of them, but they were worried about their hometown. The members of the public had a lot of remarks, and they had no desire to fight. I beg the chairman to understand his feelings and feel the worries of the soldiers." Long Yun was very smart this time. He did not speak a word in Chongqing and remained calm. He secretly encouraged Hu Yan and others to write a letter to Chiang Kai-shek, hoping to transfer the soldiers of the Yunnan Army back to Yunnan to defend their hometown.

Faced with this situation, Chiang Kai-shek had to consider the specific situation of the 58th Army, and finally agreed to Lu Han's request. However, he did not let Lu Han go to southern Yunnan but asked Zhuang Jihua to continue to command. He believed that Zhuang Jihua could suppress Lu Han and the soldiers of the Yunnan Army of the 58th Army.

Zhuang Jihua was waiting for the arrival of December 7 with an anxious attitude. Instead of returning to Guiyang, he stayed in Kunming and began to form the Expeditionary Force headquarters and deal with related matters of the war.

But this day finally came. I heard the news of the attack on Pearl Harbor for a whole day. Zhuang Jihua's heart kept sinking. Has history really changed completely, the United States reached a compromise with Japan, and Japan no longer attacked the United States. If so, then Rigaosuke's actions would be worth the loss.

"What's wrong with you in the Cultural Revolution? You're restless, like Xia Yanglin." Gong Xiuhua looked at him in confusion. This was something he had never seen before. She felt that Zhuang Jihua had something in his heart, and it was a big deal.

"It's nothing, it's just a restless mood." Zhuang Jihua concealed it, and he grabbed the military cap: "Forget it. Let's rest, it's getting late. I can't finish it anyway."

Gong Xiuhua looked at Zhuang Jihua with doubts, then silently put down the documents in his hand, stood up and followed Zhuang Jihua. When she arrived at the door, she said: "Let's go out for a walk. I heard that the scenery in Kunming is very good at night."

Gong Xiuhua thought that Zhuang Jihua was in a boredom because of the many things. The military order had been issued, and the army had already gathered in western Yunnan, but the headquarters was delayed. Zhuang Jihua was already in charge of the command, but his mother Yong had doubted that Zhuang Jihua proposed Xu Zuyi as chief of staff, but Chiang Kai-shek did not approve it. Zhuang Jihua also proposed that Gong Chu be the chief of combat, but Chiang Kai-shek did not approve it.

When we went to Myanmar, there were many troops gathered and there were so many things that needed to be handled, but the headquarters was unable to be formed for a long time. Everything was handled in the name of the Southwest Camp. However, the main organization of the Southwest Camp was in Guiyang. There was no soldier or soldier in western Yunnan near the battlefield. Zhuang Jihua had to rely on his previous prestige to command.

Kunming has not been bombed by Japanese aircraft. The night market is quite lively, and the theater is still crowded. The paintings and singing and dancing on Kunming Lake are still there. A few people changed into casual clothes and walked around the city casually, looking at the bustling crowd, like ordinary people, eating snacks on the street.

They thought they had changed into casual clothes, so their demeanor was also very conspicuous in the crowd. Wu Ziniu quickly noticed that there were several tails behind him. He didn't say anything, and quietly noticed that it was Weber and Charles, as well as the female reporter Ye Xufei.

They are all old acquaintances.

But these people just followed silently and did not mean to say hello. Wu Ziniu felt a little strange. He quietly reported to Zhuang Jihua. It is recommended to go back immediately, it is too unsafe to transfer like this.

Zhuang Jihua shook his head and turned around and walked towards Webber and the others.
