I am a wolf warrior

In less than a month, the Yin army in Hong Kong surrendered, and the beautiful army in Guam surrendered.

In less than two months, the Malay Peninsula fell, and the [-] Yin troops announced their surrender.

In less than three months, Singapore fell, and more than [-] Yin troops surrendered.

Luzon Island, Rabaul, Wake Island, and the Dutch East Indies fell successively.

Looking around, in the entire Southeast Asia, except for the beautiful army in the Bataan Peninsula, which is still lingering, there is no longer an established Allied army.

The results are simply astounding!

I don't know how many people's glasses have been broken!

……

Chang Kaishen was so shocked by this cruel fact that his brain was buzzing.

However, the fall of the entire Southeast Asia was not what shocked Chang Kaishen the most. What shocked Chang Kaishen the most was that the Japanese army had already pointed directly at northern Burma!

China's last lifeline to the outside world is at stake.

Once this lifeline is cut off, foreign aid will be cut off completely.

For Chang Kaishen, who has always relied on foreign aid, this was no less than drowning and being robbed of the straw in his hand. At this moment, Chang Kaishen was already panicking.

Also in a panic were the large group of senior generals and staff.

At this moment, a large group of senior generals and aides of the party-state gathered in the large conference room of Yunxiu Tower again, discussing what to do next?

"Has Yangon fallen?"

"I lost it, I just lost it."

"Have we rushed out the supplies at Yangon Port?"

"Only some of them were rushed out, and most of them were not shipped out in time."

"Then did you order the destruction of the materials that were not transported? You can't be cheap for the Japanese."

"Yes, the combat materials stranded in Yangon Port include more than 100 M1A1 75mm mountain guns, more than 1000 Browning heavy machine guns, and [-] million rounds of ammunition!"

"The order to destroy should have been issued, but it's hard to say whether it can be carried out."

"What's so hard to say about this? Is there anyone who dares not to carry out an order?"

"The situation at that time was wild and chaotic. No one can tell. Anyway, I can't tell."

"Forget it, let's not talk about the combat materials in Yangon Port, the key is the materials in Lashio!"

"That's right, there are more combat materials stranded at Lashio Railway Station than in Yangon Port. There must be no more problems with this batch of combat materials, otherwise the party-state will lose too much."

"Damn, after all, people from the Yin Kingdom are too careless."

"Yeah, it's still a fucking superpower. In just a few months, the nearly 30 army was defeated by the less than 10 people in Little Japan, and they all fucking hit Burma."

"This is going to hurt us, where can we find a car in a hurry?"

"Forget it, what's the use of talking about it now, hurry up and organize a convoy to rush to transport it."

"At this point, we can only live and die, and we can count as much as we can."

Hearing a group of high-ranking generals and staff whispering there, Chang Kaishen's face was already blackened.

Three months ago, if someone told him that the war in Southeast Asia would end like this, he would not have believed it, that the Great Yin Empire would be quickly defeated by the Japanese army?How is this possible?

However, now, the cruel truth is in front of us.

The face was so beaten, it was really crackling, it was swollen from the beating.

Not only was the Yin army quickly defeated by the Japanese army, but China also suffered disaster.

Due to the lack of sufficient preparation for the speed of the Japanese army's advance, the large amount of combat materials that the beautiful country aided to China according to the Lend-Lease Act, including a full set of weapons and equipment sufficient to arm more than a dozen American craftsmen, were all stranded in Yangon, Lashio, etc. In the local port or station, there is no time to transport it away.

Actually, someone had reminded Chang Kaishen three months ago.

It's a pity that Chang Kaishen didn't believe it at all at the time, and missed the chance to save him in vain.

At this moment, Chang Kaishen was really remorseful, regretting not listening to Liu Fei's words.

But it's not too late to make amends, so Chang Kaishen once again regarded Liu Fei as the straw for the drowning man.

"Weizhang, I regret not listening to your words. If I had listened to you, why would I be in so many embarrassments today." Chang Kaishen sighed and said again, "Then what should we do for the present?"

Liu Fei said: "Appointment, there are only two things that are most important for the current plan."

"First, the Yin people are really unreliable, so they absolutely cannot send expeditionary troops into Burma."

Seeing Chang Kaishen's face collapsed, Liu Fei could only change his words: "Even if you have to send an expeditionary force into Burma, just defend the front line of Lashio and Myitkyina in the north of Burma, you must not listen to the fools of the Yin people and send the troops Transferring to the line between Burma and Mandalay is acting as cannon fodder for the Yin people, and our army must suffer."

"Second, rush to repair the India-Myanmar Highway and connect it with the Yunnan-Burma Highway."

"However, the second requires the first as a basis. Only when the northern part of Myanmar is defended can the India-Myanmar Highway be repaired, and our country maintain the only line of communication for receiving supplies from the outside world."

While talking, Tang Zong hurried in.

"Principal, Stilwell and General Alexander sent a joint telegram."

"Give it to me." Chang Kaishen took the telegram, and after reading it, his expression sank again.

"Seat." Liu Fei asked nervously, "Did Stilwell and Alexander ask my expeditionary force to go south?"

"Yes." Chang Kaishen nodded, and then said, "Stilwell and Alexander asked our expeditionary force to quickly advance to the front line of Mandalay in central Myanmar to protect the safety of the Yin army's flanks, so that the allied forces can hold on for a long time. "

"Persevere for a long time? Believe in them." Liu Fei said, "You can't go south."

Speaking of this pause, he said: "There are indications that the Yin army has no intention of sticking to Burma at all. The reason why they asked our expeditionary force to go south to Mandalay is nothing more than to use our army as cannon fodder and drag the Japanese army to cover their escape!"

"Hey, Wei Zhang, you're wrong to say that." Chang Kaishen frowned, "We can't judge the king's belly with the heart of a villain. The Piaoyin Allied Forces can't stop here, let alone General Stilwell and General Alexander. I still believe in allied countries, and I believe that they really want to hold Burma and hold the Allied positions."

Liu Fei looked at Chang Kaishen in surprise, did he still believe in Yin people?

Chang Kaishen stopped looking at Liu Fei, and turned to Tang Zong, "Immediately send a telegram to the expeditionary army in the name of the attendants, ordering them to leave Mandalay and ensure the safety of the allied flank."

"Yes." Tang Zonggong replied.

……

A few days later, in Yunqi Town, Sanduo Hall.

Fang Ligong walked into the war room with a livid face.

Chu Yunfei immediately turned around and asked, "Brother Li Gong, how is the situation?"

"Lu Zuo, the situation is not optimistic." Fang Ligong said with a dark face, "The people of the Yin country did not intend to stick to Burma at all. The main force of the army quickly retreated to India, which completely exposed the flanks of our army to the guns of the Japanese army!"

"Hateful!" Chu Yunfei's facial muscles twitched violently in anger.

After a long while, Chu Yunfei asked again: "And then?"

Fang Ligong sighed softly, and said: "The expeditionary force suffered a disastrous defeat. Some of them returned home via Savage Mountain, and the other followed Stilwell to Imphal in India. The whole of Myanmar has fallen."

"How did this happen?" Chu Yunfei sank back into his chair.

To be honest, the battle in Southeast Asia this time, especially the battle in Burma, hit Chu Yunfei hard, even worse than the defeat of his troops.

Because Chu Yunfei's own army was defeated, it was not as strong as others, and it was justifiable to be defeated.

However, the disastrous defeat of the Allied forces, especially the Piao army, in the Southeast Asian battlefield did not coexist with the fact that the strength of the Allied forces in Southeast Asia was far superior to that of the Japanese army, at least on paper. However, the final result of the Japanese army was a disastrous defeat for the Allied forces, and the Japanese army won a complete victory.

This hit Chu Yunfei very hard.

Because such a failure will lead to the collapse of faith.

Once the belief collapses, it will lose confidence in the country and the nation.

In fact, Chu Yunfei is similar to many senior generals of the national army. They are all weapon theorists. They believe that as long as they have excellent weapons and equipment, the human factor is not the decisive factor.

After a long while, Chu Yunfei raised his head and asked Fang Ligong, "Brother Ligong, what do you think is the problem? Why did the Pretty Army and the Yin Army lose so badly in Southeast Asia? I thought our national army was fighting in Songhu, Nanjing, etc. The performance on the battlefield and the Taiyuan battlefield is already bad enough, but compared with the performance of the Yin Army and the Pretty Army on the Southeast Asian battlefield, hehe, our national army has immediately become an elite army again, how do you say that?"

Fang Ligong said solemnly: "This can only show that our national army is originally an elite division. The reason why our national army did not perform well in the Songhu battlefield, Nanjing battlefield, and Taiyuan battlefield is only because we encountered a more fierce enemy. If it is an enemy like the Yin Army and the Pretty Army, the result may be completely different."

"Is that really the case?" Chu Yunfei was at a loss when he heard this.

If this is the case, the weapon is not the decisive factor.

Fang Ligong suddenly sighed again: "I knew it would be like this. I shouldn't have launched an attack on the Japanese army in Anhua at the end of last year and during the first month of the year. Especially, I shouldn't have consumed so many shells in vain."

Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei's expression darkened again.

At the end of last year, the No.11 Army of the Japanese Army launched the third Changsha Battle in order to cooperate with the Southeast Asian War.

In order to cope with the Allied forces in Southeast Asia, and also to relieve the pressure on the Ninth Theater, the Nationalist Government ordered the national troops on various battlefields to launch a wave of counterattacks.

The vast majority of the national army on the battlefield did not take this order seriously.

Only Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang in Northwest Shanxi resolutely carried out the order. After receiving the order, Chu Yunfei immediately led the sole brigade of the Jinsui Army to attack Anhua, and Liang Gang led the 94th Independent Brigade of the Central Army to attack Nao County. Offensive operations, it happened that the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army were also engaged in blockade operations. For a while, the Japanese army in Northwest Shanxi was beaten into a panic. Yoshio Iwamatsu hurriedly transferred the No. 30 Seventh Division from the southern Shanxi area for reinforcements.

Because he firmly believed that the Allied Forces would win partial victories in the Southeast Asian battlefield, that the lifeline of the Burma Highway would be unimpeded, and that Chang Kaishen and Chief Yan would not get stuck in his logistics, Chu Yunfei fought very generously, especially the two The Shanpao Battalion almost wiped out all of their reserves.

As a result, the third Changsha battle was barely won.

But the Allied forces suffered a disastrous defeat on the Southeast Asian battlefield.

Moreover, Burma also fell, and the Burma Road was cut off by the Japanese army.

Now it was a big trouble, Chang Kaishen and Chief Yan were no longer able to replenish ammunition for Chu Yunfei's troops, not to mention shells, even bullets.

At that moment Chu Yunfei asked: "Brother Li Gong, how much ammunition is left?"

Fang Ligong sighed again, and said in a low voice: "I went to the warehouse to check just now, and there is less than one base number of shells left. There are slightly more bullets in reserve, but there are only less than two base numbers."

Chapter 428 One Hundred Thousand Tons of Supplies

At the same time, in Fuliang Mountain.

"Old Ding, Lao Kong, are you here? Come and sit down."

Holding the teapot, Li Yunlong enthusiastically poured a bowl of hot tea for Ding Wei and Kong Jie.

Ding Wei picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, frowned and said, "Why is it tea? What about wine? It's not easy for old comrades in arms to come here, and they don't even bring out wine to entertain them, is it plausible?"

"Don't mention it soon." Li Yunlong said angrily.

"I haven't tasted wine for three months."

"Zhao political commissar is so strict?" Ding Wei said, "Drinking is really not allowed?"

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with Lao Zhao, it's because I don't drink it myself."

"Hey? Li has a big head and you're so fucking crazy?" Kong Jie laughed, "You used to be drunk and unhappy, but Political Commissar Zhao wouldn't let you drink, and you were still impatient with him."

Li Yunlong said: "Isn't this what Xiao Wang said? We will have a hard time in the next two years, so we have to stock up on tobacco, alcohol and other supplies as much as possible. These are all hard currencies. It will not be outdated, and when there are difficulties in the future, it can be used to exchange some food or even weapons and ammunition with the devils and puppet troops.”

Ding Wei said: "That's the reason, but it's not bad for a couple of pounds."

Li Yunlong said: "If you can save a sip, it's a sip. Anyway, if you drink less, you won't lose a piece of meat."

Ding Wei said helplessly: "Then it's no problem to get a few delicious dishes to eat?"

"Of course there is no problem with this." Li Yunlong smiled and turned his head and shouted, "Xiuqin, there are two good dishes, put more bacon, Lao Ding and Lao Kong finally came here."

After finishing speaking, he instructed Ge Erdan: "Derdan, go and call the Chief of Staff here."

Zhao Gang and Xing Zhiguo were not there, but Wang Ye happened to be at the regiment headquarters and had to be called over to accompany him.

After a while, Wang Ye came over, greeted Ding Wei and Kong Jie and sat down, and Li Yunlong added another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"Captain Ding, Commander Kong, you should have gained a lot in the past two months, right?" Wang Ye asked, "I heard that you have almost wiped out the devils' strongholds along Tongpu Road."

In the blockade operation years ago, the division of labor between the three regiments was very clear.

The New First Regiment and the New Second Regiment were responsible for removing strongholds along Tongpu Road, while the Independent Regiment was responsible for ambushing reinforcements from Anhua, Nao County, and Pingan County.

Later, even Chu Yunfei's and Liang Gang's minions joined in, and the resulting commotion became even bigger. Half a winter plus a whole spring, dozens of battles were fought against devils, big and small, and more than a dozen strongholds were pulled out. One, the total number of devils and puppet troops wiped out was three to 4000, and a lot of weapons and ammunition were seized.

But the Eighth Route Army's own casualties were minimal.

Because this is a sparrow war, fight if you can beat it, and run if you can't beat it.

The devils and the puppet army were powerless to retaliate, because they did not dare to go deep into the base area.

At this time, the disastrous defeat of the Second Guards Division in the Fuliangshan base area began to show its power. With the bloody example of the Second Guards Division in front, the devils no longer dared to easily enter the base area to sweep, which was extremely A large reserve of the war potential of the base area also preserved the vitality of the Eighth Route Army.

Li Yunlong also asked with a smile: "Quickly tell the truth, how much benefit did you get from this ticket?"

"Actually, not much." Ding Wei pouted, "Compared to what your independent group did in the Fuliangshan Fortress, we can only count it as a piecemeal effort."
