Mandalay, the Expeditionary Force Command Headquarters, all the stars are gathered together, each one looks solemn.
Naturally, the Japanese's big moves cannot be hidden from the eyes of the expeditionary force. It is almost impossible to prevent the other party from noticing in a battle involving more than 100,000 people.
"Everyone, don't be so nervous. Let me tell you some good news. The Japanese are coming to attack, and the Sixth Division is leading the charge!"
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he looked at everyone. Many people were still confused. This style was a bit confusing.
Suddenly Sun Fumin reacted - the Sixth Division!
He immediately jumped up and asked to fight:
"It's the Sixth Division that's so stupid!
Chief, our First Army applies to defend Mandalay and fight to the death with the Beast Division Regiment! "
Then Yan Haoyu and Zhang Yu also realized what they were doing, and stood up one after another to ask for a fight, just like a group of evil wolves that saw a sheep breaking into the wolf den, they all wanted to pounce on it, take a bite, drink its blood, and devour its flesh. Chew on its bones.
"Brothers, do you still need to mobilize when fighting against the Sixth Division?"
Chu Xiong asked murderously.
"unnecessary!"
Everyone's eyes burst out with hatred. Ever since the news of the Jinling Beast Tragedy, the Sixth Regiment has never had a brilliant record in China;
The reason is that every Chinese army that fights against them, whether it is the central army or the local army, is fighting with all their might, even if ten of them fight one, they will not hesitate to blast cluster bombs and rush into the warriors among them. All.
In China, fighting the Sixth Division never requires mobilization!
Chu Xiong nodded and said:
"very good!
I know that everyone wants to eat this pot of meat, but how to eat it and who eats it are very particular.
As a matter of principle, since they are here, they cannot be allowed to leave this time. Letting one of them go is not considered a victory!
Comrades, it is not easy to finish this pot of meat. These beasts are not easy to fight;
This is the Japs' first-class division, with 30,000 people. They are well-trained, tenacious in fighting will, and well-equipped. It is easy to defeat them, but it will take a lot of effort to annihilate them all.
Strategically, we must despise the enemy, and tactically we must pay attention to the enemy. I ask everyone to show off the fierceness of a lion fighting a rabbit, and must not underestimate the enemy in the slightest. Strictly follow the operational plan, and work closely with all armies to work together. , eat up this pot of meat and wipe it clean, can everyone do it? "
Chu Xiong asked loudly, and the voice that answered him made his ears buzz.
“Damn, everyone’s voices are quite loud, my ears are almost deafened by the writers;
Yes, morale is available!
I ordered that the Independence Army be responsible for guarding Mandalay, and I personally took command. I wanted to stick the Sixth Division to Mandalay and fight a head-on street battle with them!
Use the fortified city of Mandalay and the steel-like will of the independent army to consume all the vigor and strength of the Sixth Division;
The New Second Army and the New Third Army are responsible for guarding the two wings, and the New First Army serves as the reserve force.
When the Sixth Division was dragging the dead dog under the city of Mandalay, the New First Army suddenly rushed out, cut off the Sixth Division's retreat, locked them all into the city, and then wiped them out in one fell swoop. Let one go, and I will take your Sun Fu. People are asking, can it be done? "
Sun Fumin originally wanted to seize the mission of Mandalay, but Chu Xiong had already said that, so he could only accept the mission and act as the sword that finally struck the Sixth Division. All he could do was swing the sword to make sure Be clean and tidy and don’t miss anyone!
Sun Fumin stood up again and shouted loudly:
"Promise to complete the task. When closing the net, if one escapes, you can use my Sun Fumin's head to make up for it."
Chu Xiong said with great satisfaction:
"Okay, let's put your head on your neck. Are those beast heads worthy of being placed with the big head of a good Chinese man?
I will allocate all the tanks, armored vehicles and automobiles to you to form a mechanized division to be used as an assault force;
Once the time is right, the mechanized division will be like a sharp sword, charging out at high speed, cutting off the Sixth Division's connection with the main force of the Japanese with lightning speed, and making the dumplings of the Japanese together with the Independence Army!
do you understand? "
Sun Fumin nodded cautiously. He had fully understood Chu Xiong's tactical intentions. The blood in his chest almost boiled, and he secretly rejoiced:
"Fortunately, we didn't retreat back to Savage Mountain, otherwise we would have missed today's feast, which would be a lifelong regret for the people!"
Among the several army commanders, Sun Fumin had the deepest understanding of the use of mechanized troops. Sun Fumin and the New First Army had the important task of cutting off the Japanese heavy group and cutting off the Sixth Division's retreat.
As for the defense of the city, it must be Chu Xiong and the Independence Army. In the hearts of the Japanese, he and the Independence Army must be eliminated quickly;
With Chu Xiong in Mandalay, there is no need to worry if the Sixth Division doesn't pounce on them, the rest will be a head-on confrontation!
"You don't need to conserve your strength to fight against the Sixth Division!"
In an instant, Chu Xiong's eyes burst out with a wolf-like light. To deal with the beast masters, he had to release the wolves...
"Hey, Chu, it seems you haven't assigned me a task yet."
Steve protested dissatisfiedly, but after he finished speaking, he remembered that he was the supreme commander of the expeditionary force, and Chu Xiong almost treated him as a vacuum, which made Old Shi very unhappy.
Only then did Chu Xiong remember that there was a nominal commander, and he quickly said:
"General Shi, you are responsible for our logistics support. We are short of food, ammunition, and fuel. You are the only one to ask——"
Stevie stared with big eyes and said:
"Hey Chu, who's the commander?"
"General Shi, of course it's you. Now you can exercise your authority as commander and declare the start of the Second Battle of Mandalay."
Stevie coughed lightly. He originally wanted to say some of his thoughts, but after thinking about it, he found that what he was going to say was nonsense, so he simply announced:
"Generals, I agree in principle with Chu's battle plan. Zhong wants to come up with a detailed battle plan as soon as possible. Now I announce that the second Battle of Mandalay has officially begun. Chu will lead the independent army to defend Mandalay and fight against the Japanese... …”
The old man shamelessly copied Chu Xiong's homework and looked for the commander's presence before announcing the end of the meeting and the entire army entering combat mode.
Next, Old Man Shi will go to work for Chuxiong. The amount of ammunition and supplies that need to be mobilized for a battle of 100,000 people is astronomical. Fortunately, Yingjiang is in short supply of supplies. This is the gap between industrial giants and agricultural countries.
Stevie sent a telegram, and at noon the next day, thousands of tons of combat supplies were transferred from Yingbaer in the Asan Kingdom. All of them were transported by air by transport planes. These were originally going to be distributed to John Bull, but he directly intercepted them. When he came down to protect the Battle of Mandalay, General Alexander was so angry that he sent greetings to Stevie and his family, and all the lawsuits were brought against Fatty Qiu.
According to later unofficial records, Fatty Qiu sued Franklin for this matter. He cried, made trouble, and hung himself three times. He tortured Franklin all afternoon, and finally agreed to double compensation for them.
Fatty Qiu was famous for his misbehavior and unreasonable behavior among the Allied forces;
Of course, these are not things that Chu Xiong has to worry about. As long as there is no shortage of supplies for the expedition, anything is easy. This time Steve performed well, and Chu Xiong gave him a rare compliment:
"Hi, Lao Shi, good job!"
