Chapter 998

May 4, Yangon Military Port.

Governor-General Wei Junru said to General Slim and Marquis Hope of Great Britain:

"Two gentlemen, the first batch of missiles has been loaded on the ship. I believe you have inspected it personally. If there are no problems, please sign for handover."

The British side is responsible for transporting and protecting the missiles. Once they leave Yangon, no matter what happens, China will not be able to blame them.

General Slim and Hope Hou looked at each other, and the latter signed his name on the handover document.

Wei Junru breathed a sigh of relief quietly and said:

"Gentlemen, do you want to go to my Governor's Mansion for a drink?"

Slim and Marquis Hope shook their heads at the same time, and the former said:

"Thank you Mr. Governor for your kindness, but the missiles are very important, so we will leave with the fleet. We will see you in the future for cooperation."

Wei Junru looked very sorry.

"Well, I wish you a safe journey."

The three shook hands and said goodbye, and Wei Junru watched General Slim and Marquis Hope board the warship.

After the British transport ships and warships left, Thomas on the side said:

"Mr. Governor, your army has gathered at the border to liberate Indochina. I think this battle will go smoothly. The Japanese monkeys will never be a match for the Chinese soldiers."

"We are very happy to cooperate in the Gongbang Dynasty region and have reached a win-win situation. Can this kind of friendly and cooperative relationship be extended to the entire Indochina Peninsula?"

Wei Junru quickly understood what Thomas meant:

The Rockefeller family wanted to intervene in the resources and economic affairs of Indochina.

He smiled politely and then said:

"It's probably beyond my reach to disappoint Mr. Rockefeller."

Thomas said oh and said no more.

.

Slim and Marquis Hope will escort the fleet through the Maldives, and the subsequent voyage will be protected by warships. The two need to return to the Tianzhu area to deal with matters related to the rebels.

Due to the existence of the Chinese Western Fleet, the Andaman Sea, the Central Indian Ocean and other places are relatively safe, and Japanese submarines do not dare to penetrate so far into the west.

The most dangerous sections are in the North Atlantic, closest to your destination.

Great Britain has received definite intelligence that the submarine force of the Third Reich is waiting in the North Atlantic, and its target is the fleet transporting missiles.

The British side is also prepared for this, but the final result will only be known after the two sides fight.

After arriving in the Maldives, the warships aboard General Slim and Marquis Hof separated from the missile fleet.

The two watched worriedly as the fleet disappeared under the horizon.

The worry about the fleet soon disappeared, because there were more troublesome things waiting for them in Mumbai and other places.

………

On May 5, Wei Junru flew to Kunming. He saw the fierce Wang Laohu in the headquarters occupied by the Seventh Corps.

When the two met, the fierce light in Wang Laohu's eyes disappeared and he was very happy.

After Wei Junru went overseas to serve as governor, he met less and less with his old brothers.

The two exchanged simple greetings, and then the topic quickly turned to the upcoming battle.

"I have seen the plan of the General Staff. Two armies will use a pincer offensive from the east and west to encircle the Japanese on the Indochina Peninsula. It is feasible strategically, but I am afraid there will be some difficulties at the tactical level."

It has been a long time since I participated in a military operation, and Wei Junru cherishes this opportunity.

"The northern part of Indochina Peninsula is mountainous, and many places are like savage mountains with no way to go. You must take this issue into consideration when taking action!"

Wang Laohu was obviously more patient with Wei Junru than with General Stilwell. After listening, he patted the latter on the shoulder and said:

"Old Wei, put your heart in your stomach. These issues you raised have been considered by my Corps Headquarters and the General Staff."

"It is indeed an east-west encirclement. The west road follows the route of Japan's invasion of Burma and enters Siam. The east road goes south along the coastline and finally reaches the mouth of the Mekong River."

"The grain-producing areas, population and cities of Indochina are mainly concentrated in the central plain. We will make such a big circle, surround the Japanese in this area, and finally gather together to annihilate them."

"Of course, in addition to the east and west routes, there will also be a large army in the middle route, but the scale will be smaller than the other two routes. It will mainly drive away the Japanese invaders and let them escape to the preset encirclement circle."

Wei Junru suddenly remembered something and said:

"The middle route is mostly mountainous and has inconvenient transportation. Our mechanized troops cannot deploy. I suggest that the three Sino-Burmese divisions that have been formed into the army be integrated into the middle route army. These soldiers are all Burmese and are more familiar with the jungle than us."

"In addition, they have also conducted jungle combat training. I have seen it with my own eyes. The troops are capable of combat and have good morale. If used well, they will be a strong army!"

Wang Laohu's original plan was to send a group of troops into the mountainous area lightly and recruit some border people to lead the way.

After listening to Wei Junru's suggestion, he decided to reduce a group army in the middle to two divisions.

After the three China-Burma divisions were added, the overall size was still five divisions.

He immediately summoned General Stilwell and issued the order.

General Stilwell is the Chief of General Staff. His original rank is higher than Wang Laohu, but it is useless to talk about these things in China.

It is the chief of staff's job to convey orders. General Stilwell was angry that Wang Laohu did not discuss combat matters with him at all.

Jiangdong once vaccinated General Stilwell, but at that time Stilwell never expected such a situation.

He wanted to leave, but if he left, the Chinese people would really have the final say in the entire Chinese war zone.

It is unacceptable that the influence of the United States is getting weaker and weaker.

Wei Junru greeted General Stilwell cordially.

Soon after, the two deputy commanders of the Seventh Corps, Cao Bin and Samurai Min, also came to the Corps headquarters.

The two of them also serve as commanders of the 7th and 8th Group Armies, which belong to the 7th Corps.
