Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    We are just a few Siamese, why should we run away?  Jiang Jingguo failed to understand the meaning of Qin Wei's words for a while, but North Vietnam had the Red River Defense Line and Laos had Sun Liren's New 1st Army. He was not worried that the Siamese attack would cut off China's retreat None of the Japanese were that way.  In terms of ability, these people are defeated by the Japanese. Is it possible?  But he was still a young man after all. Although he was not much younger than Qin Wei and had become an important minister, Jiang Jingguo still couldn't accept such deliberate loss of "his own territory."  Because he, like many people in China, secretly hopes to annex all the occupied Indochina Peninsula, the area included in the original "French Indochina", to China.  It's just that this idea still feels a bit unrealistic for the time being, so everyone is still holding it back.  But not including these territories into China for the time being does not mean that they are willing to abandon these places When Qin Wei ordered the New 1st Army to withdraw from Cambodia, the 5th Army withdrew from South Vietnam, which also caused a lot of uproar in the country.  There's a dispute.  Although many newspapers said that the government was doing something wrong, Chiang Ching-kuo knew that in fact many people still felt unhappy because of the loss of "gaining and losing again".  But now, Qin Wei not only did not take the initiative to "recover" those two areas, but actually planned to give them to the Siamese Jiang Jingguo really didn't understand.  If you were Japanese, everyone would at least accept you. After all, even though you were a life-and-death enemy, everyone still recognized you in terms of strength.  The Japanese are quite fierce. You see, they beat the British and Americans. It is understandable that we should give way to them, but let them give way to Siam China is not that bad, right?  But after all, Chiang Ching-kuo is Chiang Ching-kuo. After staying in the Soviet Union for more than ten years, he has been able to suppress his emotions. When the Soviets asked him to write an article to criticize Chiang Kai-shek, he wrote it with great joy. He was the most understanding person.  Although he didn't understand Qin Wei's intention this time, he still resisted asking.  And faithfully conveyed Qin Wei's orders to various troops.  After this, Zhang Lingfu rushed to the Leliem front line where the US military was located almost as quickly as possible.  This fierce general is also a bad boy!  He obviously went near Ren'anqiang, and it was clear that he only needed to send a partial division to rescue the large British army that was blocked by the Japanese airborne troops, but he refused to do itignoring the British and Japanese armies,  He rushed over like that, making Alexander, the commander of the British army, furious, but there was nothing he could do.  Because Zhang Lingfu was under the command of the Pan-Western Pacific Theater Command, he did not receive the task of rescuing the British troops. On the contrary.  During this period, Alexander also received an order from Chiang Kai-shek, requiring him to immediately reorganize his army, intercept the large Japanese troops pursuing from the rear, and "consider a counterattack."  Anyway.  Just can't go back anymore.  But how could Alexander take Chiang seriously?  Not to mention Chiang Kai-shek, Churchill now appeared in person to give him orders.  He doesn't know how to do it They Westerners don't pay attention to the honor of dying in battle.  Would rather die than surrender or something like that.  If you can't beat them, run away. This is the iron law they abide by on the battlefield.  Although they were defeated, although their unauthorized retreat put the US military in trouble, what's the point?  If the Americans were informed, would they still be able to escape?  A group of airborne troops can block their retreat, if another three and five divisions from the river come.  Are these 100,000 British Burmese troops allowed to repeat what happened in Malaya?  Therefore, he does not feel that he is wrong.  As long as he can escape with these British people, he will still be a hero, and vice versa.  He will only be a bear because the British will only remember that he "rescued" so many British boys, but will not remember how he was beaten by the Japanese and fled in confusion, and how he "thrown away" his allies  "Understand.  But the problem now is that he is blocked in front of him and pursued by soldiers behind him, so it is not easy for him to escape.  And his situation is getting worse: Hebian Shozo, who is personally leading troops to besiege Patton, also noticed him. Because of his abundant troops, he has sent a brigade of troops to move west, seemingly to support Ren.  The Japanese airborne troops in Anqiang also seemed to want to cooperate with other Japanese troops to drive them into the Indian Ocean.  Alexander knew very well that once the Japanese troops of this brigade rushed to his side, it would be even more difficult for him to escape Therefore, in the strongest tone, he once again issued an order to Zhang Lingfu, asking the 58th Division to block this group from the east.  Japanese brigade coming over.  However, the 58th Division and the Japanese brigade just passed by each other.  It is said that the distance between the two armies was only one kilometer at its smallest, and soldiers with good eyesight could even see the appearance of the enemy on the opposite side. However, at such a distance, both sides actually maintained great restraint, and no one could  Pay attention to who.  Knowing this, Alexander finally gave up the idea of ????escape along the railway, led his troops to take a detour from the west, and fled on foot.  In order to meet them, Wavell in India is also stepping up the construction of the road from India to Myanmar. ?¡­ ?¡°The British escaped faster than the JapaneseThe speed of the Japanese pursuit was so high that purely in terms of physical strength and escape methods, they still surpassed the Japanese.  They won this battle!  " Zhang Lingfu seems to be just a simple fierce general on the battlefield, but with the highest academic qualifications in the two major Chinese civil and military teaching systems, he is absolutely ruthless when it comes to hurting people, and he is no weaker than anyone when it comes to playing tricks Qin Wei  He just gave him the opportunity to alienate the relationship between Patton and Alexander. As a result, he started to carry out this task as soon as he met Patton. "I know their 'capabilities' very well!"  But what about us, General Zhang?  " At this time, Patton no longer had the high spirits he had when he first arrived. There were no artillery, no tanks, not enough aircraft Then he discovered that the bravery he often boasted about had little effect in front of the Japanese.  Because the other party was much stronger than him, if he hadn't been able to hold on in one breath, if he hadn't known that the losses would have been greater if he had escaped, if he hadn't known that the Americans really couldn't afford to be defeated for the second time, if it hadn't been for him.  Knowing that reinforcements have arrived he may have admitted defeat and fled with his troops like Alexander. After all, his "fierceness" and his courage to attack are actually more to reduce the number of enemies.  The casualties of the troops. Historically, the Third Army he led had the lowest casualty rate in the entire US military. ¡°We may win, or we may lose.  My commander told me.  I must hold out here until reinforcements arrive.  "The first time Zhang Lingfu met Patton, he had never heard of such a person before. Before that, he looked down upon the US military Even though MacArthur later led the troops to defeat Tadayoshi Sano near Hong Kong, he still looked down on the US military.  . In his opinion, the Americans' combat effectiveness is still too poor, they lack the courage to fight in life and death, and they are too dependent on weapons and equipment. Therefore, it is useless to fire a cannon before encountering the Japanese.  He would not be able to adapt to the direct attack, and would be driven away, just like the British. But now, he looked at these Americans with admiration, because he knew that he wanted to join the Japanese five divisions.  It would be difficult for him to hold on for so long under the siege, or even if Patton had more troops than him. "Hold on?"  "Barton also felt Zhang Lingfu's determination. As a result, he who had been constantly encouraging morale not long ago suddenly felt bursts of pressure. "Can we still hold on?  "    "able.  Zhang Lingfu's expression was calm, "Unless we are all killed, we can hold on."  "General," because of Zhang Lingfu's words, Barton's expression changed continuously: "This sentence is not auspicious."  " "Geely?  Arrived at the battlefield.  What more auspiciousness do you want?  Zhang Lingfu looked at him: "We only recognize two words: kill the enemy!"  " "There are more enemies than us!  Even with you added in, the enemy still has nearly twice our strength.  "Barton roared. "Let your people come down and rest.  The defense line is temporarily taken over by our 58th Division.  In addition" Zhang Lingfu told Patton: "General, my commander also told me that you and your troops now have two choices: one.  You have done your best to retreat after we exchanged fire with the enemy, so this does not count as an escape; second, stay here with us until reinforcements arrive" "You want me to retreat?  "Barton pointed to his nose, as if he heard something incredible. "It's not you, it's you!  Zhang Lingfu said, "Your performance is enough."  Therefore, the theater command allows you to retreat.  " "But the British" Is this different treatment? Is the Chinese trying to please the United States? But when they treated Stilwell before, the attitude of this group of people was quite bad Button said he didn't understand. "You again  What do you think of those British people?  Zhang Lingfu asked with a hint of contempt on his face. "Them?"  "Barton seemed to have just remembered the group of people who were supposed to be fighting with him at this time, and his face suddenly became distorted. "I must admit, General, you just mentioned the statement that 'they won'  Very original indeed.  Yes, they won, they won our contempt and contempt.  I have never seen a troop that can run so fast, they are really 'amazing'!  " "Such an amazing force, who dares to fight alongside them?  Like right now General Patton, I heard our commander warned you not to trust this group of allies, right?  "    "Yes.  "Patton's face became even worse. Before, he firmly believed that the British would work together with him, but after he discovered that he was too naive, reported his experience to the U.S. government, and sued Alexander severely in front of high-level officials, he  Only then did he realize that he was really naive! Marshall sent a telegram telling him that they had nothing to do with the British because they could not do anything about the "US troops in the Philippines" at this moment.??To leave Britain as an important ally.  Even they had nothing to do with Alexander, because Alexander's retreat was excusable. The equipment of the British and Burmese troops was far inferior to that of the British troops in other areas, and their troops were smaller than those of the Japanese. Therefore, in the British  From a human perspective, Alexander¡¯s choice is understandable.  Although this person "forgot" to tell his allies when retreating, this is not a big mistake, because this mistake can be entirely blamed on a small person "It seems that our commander is right." Zhang Lingfu  He smiled and said no more, "General, please indicate to me the deployment of the Japanese troops on the opposite side. We are going to counterattack!" (To be continued)
