At the expeditionary force headquarters, Chu Xiong was counting soybeans, Stevie was spinning in circles, and Zhong Guoliang was guarding the telecommunications office, all waiting for news from the front line.
"Old Shi, can you stop wandering around in front of me all the time? Lao Huang, go find him a grinder, so that he won't waste time wandering around in circles."
Huang An suppressed his laughter after hearing it, and Steve was confused after hearing it. The difficulty of this sentence is about level 8 in Chinese.
"Chu, I don't need grinding, I need telegrams, good news from the front line!"
Chu Xiong also said in his heart:
"I'm also waiting for the good news. Haven't I seen that all the beans are almost gone?"
On the surface, Chu Xiong still pretended to be calm and continued to count his beans, but the speed was more than twice as fast as usual. It seemed that the temptation to annihilate the Sixth Division was still quite great. Even Chu Xiong, who has seen countless great things in the world, can't sit still.
Finally they heard a burst of hurried footsteps. When Chu Xiong heard that it belonged to Zhong Guoliang, he looked up suddenly and saw that it was indeed Zhong Guoliang!
Old Man Shi wanted to snatch it, but Zhong Guoliang easily dodged it. Then he looked at Chu Xiong, who said calmly:
"read!"
Old Man Shi could only listen patiently. He found that few people in the expeditionary army respected him as the supreme commander. Instead, they worshiped him like a Buddha and lifted him up to worship him when needed.
Fortunately, he was not in the mood to be pretentious, and the content of the telegram was more tempting. As long as Chu Xiong and the expeditionary force could win the battle, he could tolerate their occasional arrogance.
"After half a day of fierce fighting, our unit has completely wiped out the headquarters, engineer regiment, baggage regiment, and cavalry regiment of the Sixth Division in the periphery. We have eliminated 9,687 people under the division commander, Lieutenant General Kanda Masane, and no one escaped. Some of the Japs have been blown to pieces, and the results cannot be counted. A large amount of equipment and supplies have been seized, and the statistics are being compiled;
The main force on the periphery has tightened the encirclement. Please let me know whether to launch an encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese in the city.
Sun Fumin, Yan Haoyu, Zhang Yu. "
A burst of cheers suddenly erupted in the command room. Old Man Shi waved his fist excitedly, and then said to Chu Xiong:
"Chu, what are you waiting for? Order them to finish the remaining work!"
Chu Xiong stood up and saluted and said:
"Yes, Sir"
This time Chu Xiong gave enough face to the Supreme Commander Steve, and turned to Zhong Guoliang and said:
"Why are you standing there in a daze? You have ordered a general attack on the Japs in the city. You must swallow the fat in your mouth first!"
According to the reconnaissance plane report, the Japanese have transferred a large number of reinforcements from the direction of Annan, and they will arrive in three days at the latest;
First, completely and cleanly eliminate the Sixth Division so that they have no thoughts!
The flying detachment immediately bombed the Japs in Myitkyila, and ordered the New Third Army to attack in the direction of Myitkyila and retake Myitkyila! "
The rest of the order cannot be stated clearly, Old Man Shi is here.
Zhong Guoliang took the order and left. He had understood what Chu Xiong said. He did not say that destroying the Japs in Myitkyi La would mean defeating them. He could even imagine that the Japs would abandon Myitki La before the expeditionary force launched an attack.
Myitti La, the city is empty after people leave, not to mention the ghosts, there is not even a ghost
What they got was an empty city, and what they gave back to Chu Xiong was also an empty city. This time they didn't even destroy the city, and they became "civilized" teachers for a time.
Chu Xiong's arrangement was completely in vain. The Japanese did not give the flying detachment a chance to bomb. They had already withdrawn under the cover of night.
When the flight detachment arrived at Myitkyi La, it was completely empty. After consulting the command center, they returned home.
In the afternoon of the same day, a regiment of the New Third Army recaptured Myitkyila;
Next, they continued to pursue in the northwest direction. At the same time, the airport dispatched several reconnaissance planes and discovered them 30 kilometers southwest of Myitkyi La. There were about 20,000 Japanese soldiers. They did not seem to be hiding from the expeditionary force's reconnaissance planes. Tell the other person where they are going.
"Lao Chu, a reconnaissance plane has arrived to report that the remaining Japs troops, about 20,000 strong, are being routed southwest, about 60 kilometers away from the border of Asan Kingdom."
Zhong Guoliang once again reported the whereabouts of the Japanese to Chu Xiong. Chu Xiong had a faint smile on his lips and said secretly:
"This should be Sakurai Shozo's idea. He is really a wonderful person. This is to tell the expeditionary force that they are not going to China."
Since he is a clever person, he will use clever tricks. Chu Xiong immediately ordered:
"Order the main force of the new three armies to continue to pursue the defeated Japanese soldiers, be sure to block them in Yingpar, and work with our allies to completely and cleanly eliminate them;
In addition, they were told to be careful and the two divisions should advance together to avoid being ambushed by the Japanese. "
After Chu Xiong finished speaking, he said to Steve:
"Old Shi, encircling and annihilating this remnant enemy requires the cooperation of the John Bull British and Indian Army. Please report the enemy situation to General Alexander and ask them to cooperate with the New Third Army of the Expeditionary Force to completely annihilate this remnant enemy."
When Shi Diwei heard that there was nothing wrong with Chu Xiong's deployment, it was right to go hand in hand when pursuing the pursuit. After all, there were nearly 30,000 Japanese soldiers, and it would be bad to counterattack if they were beaten.
As long as they are driven to Yingbaer, there will be no less than 200,000 John Bull troops on the border of the three countries, plus more than 20,000 troops from the New Third Army. If they attack from both sides, there will be no problem in annihilating the remaining 30,000 enemies.
Chu Xiong did not play tricks, but was still a general who had a good view of the overall situation. He felt deeply guilty for his previous doubts about Chu Xiong.
"Chu, you are a general with a broad mind. I will contact General Alexander right away!"
After finishing speaking, Stevie left. His Eagle Headquarters was not in the same place as the expeditionary force.
After watching Shi Diwei leave, Chu Xiong, Tong Guoliang and others showed knowing smiles. How can you, a Westerner, understand the war strategy of the East?
One day Stilwell will understand that the longest road he has traveled in his life is Chu Xiong's routine.
After sending away Shi Diwei, Chu Xiong and Zhong Guoliang continued to study the encirclement and annihilation of the Sixth Division.
"Old Zhong, there are at least thousands of Japs in the city. Please tell Sun Fumin not to act too hastily, but to carry out clearing operations in separate areas and in sections to minimize the casualties of the troops. We have plenty of time to accompany the Japs."
After driving away the tens of thousands of remaining Japanese soldiers in Myichila, Chu Xiong was no longer very anxious about encircling and annihilating the remaining Japanese soldiers in the city.
Without the cooperation of the tens of thousands of Japs from Myitkyila, the tens of thousands of Japs reinforcements coming from the direction of Annan would have to be dealt with much more.
Although the expeditionary force has been fighting continuously for nearly half a month, all armies are very tired and supplies are severely consumed, but with air superiority, tens of thousands of Japanese reinforcements cannot make waves.
On the contrary, he was full of expectations for Sakurai Shozo. According to his understanding of the Japanese, they should not be stupid enough to directly attack the heavily defended Yingbaer. Attacking from the east to the west, fighting in roundabouts is the Japanese's specialty.
"Old devil Sakurai, I hope you won't disappoint me!"
Zhong Guoliang noticed that the corners of Chu Xiong's mouth were crooked again, and quickly turned his head away, pretending not to see him
——Don’t look at anything inappropriate!
In a small town southwest of Myitjira, several old Japanese from Sakurai Province are plotting against John Bull.
"Moutian Jun, Tanaka Jun, there is a saying in the Chinese art of war that relies on perfect combination and unexpected victory. Chuxiong seems to have received the goodwill we conveyed in the past. Although their infantry chased them, their most threatening aircraft group returned;
This shows that he does not want to fight a bloody battle with the imperial army, but wants to use John Bull's help to eliminate us.
There are more than 200,000 troops on the border of the Three Kingdoms. To defeat them, we must use surprise troops..."
