Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 508: Rebuilding the Allied General Headquarters

508 Reconstruction of the Allied General Headquarters

Not long after, Luo Zhuoying, who was standing at the entrance of the camp, saw several military jeeps driving into the camp.

“Commander, General Stilwell has returned with only his guards.

The Englishman didn’t come back with them.”

At this time, a lieutenant colonel walked up to Luo Zhuoying and reported in a low voice.

"Ah."

Luo Zhuoying's expression was somewhat indifferent, and he whispered: "It's exactly as Ye Qingshan guessed.

Before the war situation became clear, the British were still reluctant to send troops from Imphal and rejoin the Burmese battlefield.

These British guys have bad intentions and want to watch us fight a bloody battle with the Japanese.

They ended up reaping the benefits.”

“These British guys are really abominable.

He stabbed us in the back before, putting 100,000 of our soldiers in danger and surrounded by the Japanese.

Now, he wants to reap the benefits.

We must not let these British guys succeed."

The lieutenant colonel of the expeditionary force next to him, as Luo Zhuoying's confidant, was also very angry after hearing Luo Zhuoying's words.

"Don't worry, we will make the British pay us back for what they owe us.

I asked you to arrange two battalions to go to the Gariwa area to set up defenses and checkpoints.

Is it arranged?"

Luo Zhuoying asked.

"Don't worry, Commander. I have already sent Captain Zheng to lead the troops there.

I promise that without your order, Commander, no one from Gariwa will come here."

"That's good.

If the British don't want to come back, then don't come back.

By then, my expeditionary force would not mind taking control of the situation in Burma.

Ye Qingshan’s wishful thinking was quite good.

But it is unlikely to happen.

Neither the British nor the Americans would agree to our expeditionary force taking complete control of Burma.

But we can take this opportunity to settle accounts with the British.

They must apologize for the backstabbing last time."

Luo Zhuoying was still brooding over the last time the British stabbed him in the back.

Therefore, Luo Zhuoying would definitely not agree to many of Ye Qingshan’s radical proposals before.

But this time, Luo Zhuoying chose to accept Ye Qingshan's suggestion.

At this time, Stilwell had already gotten out of the jeep and walked towards Luo Zhuoying.

"Commander Luo, you must give me an explanation today.

Why is it that one more corps of your expeditionary force entered Burma to fight, but I, the commander-in-chief, was totally unaware of it..."

After Stilwell got out of the car and came to Luo Zhuoying, he angrily asked Luo Zhuoying for an explanation.

"Haha, General Stilwell, don't worry.

Advanced Command, I will tell you more about it.”

Luo Zhuoying's attitude towards Stilwell was still very good.

After all, it was the British who backstabbed him last time, while Stilwell was an American and was not aware of it and did not participate in the backstabbing.

More importantly, the Expeditionary Force had fought fierce battles with the Japanese during this period.

There is a shortage of supplies, and we will need the Americans to provide ammunition and supplies.

Therefore, Luo Zhuoying could break up with the British, but he could not break up with Stilwell.

After entering the command center, Luo Zhuoying asked Ye Qingshan why his 86th Army was not incorporated into the Expeditionary Force's combat sequence.

As well as the achievements made by Ye Qingshan's 86th Army after entering Burma to fight during this period.

Told Stilwell again.

"I have heard of the name of this Deputy Commander Ye before.

I also studied his several battles with the Japanese army.

Several battles he commanded against the Japanese army were classics.

Unexpectedly, this time he took the initiative to lead his troops into Burma to fight and saved 100,000 soldiers of your expeditionary force.

Turn the already deteriorating war situation in Myanmar around.

Later, I will contact your headquarters and ask for credit for your deputy commander of the expeditionary force."

After listening to Luo Zhuoying's explanation, Stilwell also became interested in Ye Qingshan.

At the same time, most of the anger was eliminated.

He didn't come back this time to call for punishment.

Stilwell felt a little guilty.

After all, he, the nominal commander-in-chief, had followed the British to Imphal in advance.

The expeditionary force turned the tide of the war entirely on its own strength.

In this case, what qualifications does he have to blame the expeditionary force?

The more important thing for Stilwell to do this time when he returned was to regain his command of the expeditionary force.

At this time, Stilwell looked at the map, which marked the military deployment of enemy and friendly forces around Mandalay.

The two sides fell into a stalemate, and the battle situation was no longer extremely unfavorable to the expeditionary force.

This situation is much better than when he left a few days ago.

"We can fight. We can still fight this battle."

Stilwell looked at the map and said happily.

From Stilwell's point of view, as long as the Japanese were not allowed to completely occupy Burma, the war should continue.

He was very satisfied.

As for whether the expeditionary force can win in the end, in his opinion, it is not that important.

Because Stilwell looked at the issue from the official American perspective.

In their view, as long as the Japanese were not allowed to occupy Myanmar, the war here would continue.

More Japanese troops can be tied up here, buying time for them to join the battle later.

Their goal was achieved.

"Commander-in-Chief, my frontline troops are in urgent need of supplies.

look……"

Luo Zhuoying took the opportunity to ask for supplies.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this.

I will contact the British troops in Imphal and ask them to send supplies over next."

Stilwell said happily.

But it did not say when the British army entered Burma to join the war.

This was because Stilwell also knew that at this time a large number of British commanders in Imphal did not want to enter Burma to fight.

Stilwell was actually very angry about this.

In order to solve this problem, Stilwell has informed their senior domestic officials and communicated with the British officials.

Deal with the British commanders on the front line who were unwilling to fight in Burma and replace them with a new group of commanders.

However, solving this problem will take time.

"By the way, send a telegram to Deputy Commander Ye immediately.

Tell his 86th Army not to attack the Japanese troops in Meimiao and Aniskan areas.

They can't reach Mandalay from the eastern front.

Let them go north and join the Fifth Army.

I will gather all the strength of your expeditionary force and fight a decisive battle with the Japanese army in Mandalay."

Stilwell looked at the map, excitedly gave orders to Luo Zhuoying behind him, and enthusiastically described his battle plan.

"Forehead……"

After hearing this, Luo Zhuoying wanted to say something, but finally gave up.

I thought: You still want to command Ye Qingshan? I can't even command him, let alone a foreigner like you.

“Also, I want to rebuild our Southeast Asia Allied Command and then move it to Ripple.

Please notify Deputy Commander Ye and ask him to come to the General Headquarters to take up his post.

Also notify Deputy Commander Du of the Fifth Army and the Commander of the Sixth Army.

Let them all come to the headquarters to hold a meeting to discuss the next battle arrangements."

Stilwell said again.

"Ok."

Luo Zhuoying looked at the excited Stilwell and just dealt with him.
