    In Mandalay, the Burmese Theater Commander's Department.

    Wang Geng quickly walked into the war room and reported to Zhong Yi: "The chief, we just received a telegram from the 27th Group Army from the front line, saying that the Japanese army just launched a Long Live Charge!"

    "Banzai Charge?" Stilwell asked, "What is Banzai Charge?"

    Wang Geng explained: "When the Japanese army launched a charge, they liked to shout loudly "Long Live the Emperor", so such a charge was also called a "Long Live Charge". However, later, it became a special reference to the fact that the Japanese army's technical equipment had been exhausted and they had no choice but to  We can only use infantry to launch a charge."

    ¡°On the Sino-Japanese battlefield, the Japanese army rarely launched the Long Live Charge.¡±

    "However, during the war against the Soviet Union, the Japanese army often launched Long Live Charges."

    "Especially in the Battle of Nomenkan two years ago, the Japanese Kwantung Army lost almost all technical equipment and could only use infantry to launch a banzai charge to stop the Soviet army, and ultimately paid a heavy price in casualties."

    Stilwell suddenly became energetic and said loudly: "So, the technical equipment of the Japanese army sent to Burma has been exhausted?"

    "Even if they haven't been exhausted, there should be very little left." Zhong Yi slapped the sand table hard and said, "It seems that the time for a strategic counterattack is ripe!"

    "Yes, the time is ripe!" Wang Geng nodded heavily and added, "Following your instructions, in the past half month, we have been consciously accumulating strength. Every time military supplies are delivered, we will secretly withhold them.  In part, as of yesterday, we have secretly secured four heavy artillery regiments and eight tank battalions!"

    Zhong Yi nodded and asked: "How much is the latest batch of equipment that has arrived?"

    Stilwell replied: "In addition to 500 fighter jets, there are also 120 150mm caliber heavy guns and 400 infantry tanks of various types!"

    Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "In other words, it is enough to arm two flying brigades, three heavy artillery regiments and eight tank battalions. Adding what was originally accumulated, that is a total of four flying brigades and seven heavy artillery regiments.  Plus sixteen tank battalions, right?¡±

    "Yes!" Wang Geng said excitedly, "These technical equipment are enough to support a large-scale counterattack! If we choose the right entry point, we may be able to directly penetrate the entire Japanese defense line!"

    "Don't be careless!" Zhong Yi said, "In the past month, the Japanese army has not been able to advance even an inch, but they have not been idle. Instead, they have been working hard to build fortifications like groundhogs!"

    "That's true." Wang Geng said, "The Japs have never stopped building fortifications. On the Disongji and Yangmiding lines opposite Meiktila, the Japs have built large military fortresses. However, fortunately, due to insufficient building materials,  Only the main body of the fortress is a reinforced concrete structure, and the outer bunkers are basically brick-concrete structures."

    Zhong Yi nodded and asked: "How is the training of the 28th, 29th and 36th Group Armies going?"

    Due to the pressure from the U.S. government, President Chang finally had to give in and transferred the 28th, 29th and 36th Group Armies to Myanmar, and also added 500,000 troops.

    It¡¯s just that although these three armies have a total of 500,000 troops, their combat effectiveness can only be described as weak.

    Because this unit is not only seriously lacking in training, but also the officers and soldiers are in very poor physical condition and are basically malnourished.

    That¡¯s not the worst thing. The worst thing is that these three armies came to Myanmar empty-handed because they threw away all their weapons before leaving the country.

    This is also Principal Chang¡¯s little cleverness.

    But having said that, Zhong Yi didn¡¯t want those old weapons.

    Such an army must undergo training after entering Myanmar.

    So before this, these three group armies have been training in Lashio.

    Seeing Zhong Yi ask, Wang Geng shook his head and smiled bitterly and said: "The situation is not good, at least this counterattack will not be able to catch up."

    "If you can't catch up, then you can't catch up. We didn't count on them this time." Zhong Yi waved his hand and continued, "But the special operations brigade must be transferred back. Now the situation on the left and right wings has been stabilized. The two special operations brigade  If the battalion stays there, it won¡¯t be of much use, but the counterattack in the middle cannot be separated from them.¡±

    "Yes." Wang Geng said, "I am going to send a telegram to the special operations brigade."

    "Brother Shouqing, wait a minute." Zhong Yi called to Wang Geng and continued, "By the way, hold another press conference to complain to all walks of life, and finally assure the Allied Forces Headquarters that no matter how bad the situation is,  Difficulties, we in the Myanmar theater will definitely persevere to the end. Little Japan can never even think of making half a step forward in Myanmar!"??

    "Zhong, you are so cunning!" Stilwell's eyes immediately lit up.

    Having worked with Zhong Yi for so long, Stilwell has become familiar with his routines.

    Zhong Yi¡¯s move was obviously to confuse the Japanese army¡¯s audio-visual so as to confuse and deceive the enemy, so that when the expeditionary force launched a counterattack, it would be even more sudden and destructive.

    Wang Geng thought for a while and said: "Chief, can you attend this press conference in person? In this case, the effect will be better, and the Japanese will be more likely to believe it."

    Zhong Yi said: "That's fine."

    ¡­¡­

    In the afternoon of that day, a press conference was held in the auditorium of the Chief Minister¡¯s Department.

    After briefly introducing the situation on the battlefield in Myanmar, it quickly entered the media question time.

    "Hello, General Zhong." An American female reporter stood up first to ask, "I am Nicole, the Associated Press reporter in Myanmar. I would like to ask General Zhong, you just said that the situation in Myanmar is very serious. How serious is it specifically?"  ? Is the Chinese Expeditionary Force about to collapse, and will Myanmar be lost soon?"

    Zhong Yi said: "Yes, I don't want to deceive you. The situation in Myanmar is indeed very serious. The biggest difficulty is that our troops have been depleted. Although the 500,000 domestic reinforcements have already arrived, everyone knows that those 500,000 reinforcements are not at all  It has no combat effectiveness and will not be of much use in a short period of time, so our military strength has been exhausted"

    After a pause, he added: "But if you ask me whether the Chinese Expeditionary Force is about to collapse and whether Myanmar will soon fall, then I can tell you responsibly that the Chinese Expeditionary Force will never collapse, and neither will Myanmar.  It will fall immediately."

    "It won't fall immediately. That doesn't mean it won't fall, right?" Nicole chased after him, "How long will it take to fall?"

    "This involves military secrets, so I can't give you a clear answer." Zhong Yi said expressionlessly, "What I can say is that even if the Japanese army occupied Myanmar, they would not be able to achieve their strategic intention of blocking China, because by then China and the United States would  An air route over the roof of the world - the hump route will be opened!"
