Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1,094 is not yet ready

Alexander, Stilwell and Chen Cheng settled down in Tengchong, anxiously waiting for Tang Qiuli's return. Now, Alexander didn't even have the courage to leave. Most of the harsh words he said to Chen Cheng were inflicted on Chen Cheng.

Pressure, trying to use the National Government to put tremendous pressure on Tang Qiuli to achieve his goals.

Alexander, who was desperate and anxious, urged Chen Cheng countless times a day. Chen Cheng had to call Chang Feng again and again to ask about Tang Qiuli's whereabouts. Chang Feng gave the same answer every time. The division commander had received the telegram.

On the way back to Tengchong, Tang, who was regarded as the savior of hundreds of thousands of British soldiers in Myanmar, was in Tengchong County, with his wife Mei Xue and a special guard, leisurely traveling around the mountains and rivers every day.

Tang Qiuli was interested in exploring all the large and small scenic spots near Tengchong, and even the remote mountains and old forests. It was a rare leisure time, accompanied by his beloved wife and brothers. When he was tired from playing, he would just sit in the green trees surrounded by

, beside the gurgling stream, they lit a bonfire and barbecued game. They also had a rare enthusiasm for poetry and wrote several masterpieces that made Mei Xue chuckle.

When it comes to the level of ancient Chinese, Tang Qiuli, a person who traveled from modern times, is not far behind Mei Xue, who has received a strict private school education since childhood, so much so that Mei Xue said to him "Qiu" when no one was around.

"Li, let me take care of your poems alone," the implication is, Mr. Tang, don't embarrass yourself with this thing.

Tang Qiuli didn't pay attention, as if he didn't hear his wife's teasing words, but said boldly: "Xue'er, you must record it and keep it as our family heirloom in the future, so that the children can also see his father.

"My literary talent," Mei Xue couldn't help but be astonished and muttered to herself, "If you leave this level to your children, don't teach my children bad things."

Thinking of the child, he suddenly blushed, and then glared at Tang Qiuli for a few times. He was helpless against someone's narcissism. When Chang Feng went into the mountain to find Tang Qiuli, it was already a day later.

Seeing the smoke rising from the kitchen, the aroma of game roasting on the fire, the division commander sitting cross-legged, and the several special guards busy in front and back, I couldn't help but smile and felt pity for Alexander.

Seeing Chang Feng coming, Tang Qiuli raised his hand and greeted: "Chang Feng, it's better to come early than to come by chance. Sit down quickly. This hare has just been roasted. How about you try my craftsmanship?" Chang Feng was attracted by this relaxed and comfortable way.

Infected by the scene, I put aside all the problems in my mind and started eating, praising the food while eating.

Tang Qiuli asked casually: "How is the guest's mood?" Chang Feng answered more simply, just four words: "I'm anxious," Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "That's right, the situation in Mandalay is

How?" Chang Feng put down the rabbit leg, paused for a moment, and replied thoughtfully: "According to the information from the Intelligence Department, the two leading Japanese troops arrived at Taunggyi, southeast of Mandalay, and the dense railway control due south, respectively.

In two days, we can push into the outskirts of Mandalay."

Tang Qiuli dealt with the game without raising his head, and then asked: "How did the British in Mandalay react?" Chang Feng shook his head and said in disbelief: "Commander, I really don't understand, Taunggyi and

Dense railway control is the first barrier to safety in southern Mandalay.

The terrain is complex and is the area most conducive to establishing a blocking line. However, the British army did not send a single soldier in the two places, and the Japanese army passed through smoothly without firing a shot. Therefore, there are not such good terrain conditions to the north.

, you can take advantage of it, what on earth are the British thinking?"

Tang Qiuli smiled coldly and seemed to be answering Chang Feng's question. He seemed to be saying to himself, "The British core policy in Indochina is to avoid war and conserve strength as much as possible so that we Chinese and Japan can compete with each other."

When people fight face to face, it is best for both sides to suffer losses. When the time comes, the British will be able to recover the lost territory without any effort when they leave Imphal in eastern India. This is also the British usual practice."

Chang Feng nodded with deep understanding, and then said: "The British plan to let us cover the westward retreat to India and block the Japanese invasion from the north. On the Burma battlefield, the British army's combat effectiveness and fighting will are already at an extremely low ebb.

"The army is disorganized and has no fighting spirit. It seems that there is no hope at all. The British army can help us share some of the pressure. It would be lucky if it does not help us," he seemed to be feeling quite emotional.

Tang Qiuli looked at Chang Feng strangely and said, "Chang Feng, how could you expect the British to help? This is unacceptable. Remember, once our troops enter Myanmar to fight, they should not fight with the British."

There is any form of cooperation and the principle of independent combat is adhered to.

, Don’t believe that the Allies can be betrayed in the face of interests, especially the European powers. Didn’t you smell a conspiracy when Alexander put down his body and went to Tengchong in person? Not long ago, he

We still need to unite with the Japanese to deal with us!"

Tang Qiuli's words are by no means groundless and unreliable. In history, when the Chinese Expeditionary Force entered Burma to fight, most of the battles were to cover the British army's westward withdrawal from India. Even in the main defensive areas, thousands of British troops defended it.

, abandoned the Chinese ** team, did not even say hello, and ran away overnight. The Japanese army passed through the positions abandoned by the British army and encircled the Chinese ** team many times. The losses suffered by the Chinese Expeditionary Force are often seen in historical materials.

record.

Chang Feng felt a little ashamed. The teacher rarely used such words, although they were not harsh, but very thoughtful, to talk about himself. He fell into thinking, and Tang Qiuli did not speak anymore, giving him some time to digest. In fact,

, did not travel from later generations, Tang Qiuli may not have a more thorough understanding of the British practices in Myanmar than Chang Feng. This is the advantage of being a person of two generations.

Chang Feng returned to Tengchong County with a sense of enlightenment and shock, and continued to make excuses with Alexander and the others. Before leaving, Chang Feng asked Tang Qiuli, "Master, how should I reply to Chen Cheng's constant inquiries? Should I give them a clear answer?"

Meeting date?”

Tang Qiuli said calmly: "Tell Chen Cheng that I am on my way back to Tengchong and don't give them a clear time. Also, the time is not yet ripe to meet with the British and Americans. Alexander is in Mandalay."

The military strength has not been exhausted by the Japanese to the point of collapse. If we meet too early, we will not achieve the best effect. It is estimated that it will be soon. When the Japanese army beat the British until they vomited blood, that is when I met them. How much

Pay attention to the battle situation in Mandalay."

Another two days passed, and Chen Cheng was almost driven crazy by Alexander. Alexander did not dare to find Chang Feng, so he grabbed Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng did not dare to lose his temper with Chang Feng, let alone urge Tang Qiuli.

A figure that even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek could not afford to offend, Chen Cheng was a heavyweight in the Chongqing government, but when he arrived in Tengchong, he became the daughter-in-law who suffered from both sides. In a few days, he lost a lot of weight.

On the third day, the situation in Myanmar changed. The leading troops of the two divisions on the left and right wings of the Japanese army approached the line from Yegan to Indo, less than 50 kilometers away from Mandalay. News came out that four people in Mandalay city

More than 100,000 British Burmese troops were in chaos.

Major General Francis, the British Chief of Staff in Dele, hurriedly dispatched the 11th Mechanized Infantry Division, the 14th Light Infantry Division, the 5th, 6th and 9th Mixed Brigades of the British and Burmese Army, and the 3rd and 4th British Army.

The tank regiment formed the Yegan, Yinduo defense group.

These are the most elite troops among all the British troops concentrated in Mandalay. They are also Alexander's last capital. They were used as the vanguard of the entire army when preparing to withdraw westward from India. They faced the most danger in Mandalay.

At that time, Francis disobeyed Alexander's orders and sent the last bit of his family wealth to the front line.

Francis first sent out troops and then reported to Alexander. After what time, he still had to keep one hand. Francis was very dissatisfied with Alexander's approach. If Ye'an and Indo were occupied by the Japanese army, Mandalay would lose the last line and could barely use it.

On the defensive front, the Japanese could reach the gates of Mandalay in less than half a day with just one charge.

After receiving the telegram from Francis, Alexander jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on and shouted loudly at Chen Cheng, "General Chen, the Japanese army has approached Ye'an and Indo, which are only fifty kilometers away from Mandalay. If

Tang Qiuli will no longer send troops to Burma to participate in the battle against the Japanese, which will cause the British army to suffer heavy losses and Burma to fall. You Chinese must bear all the responsibilities!"

The clay figurine is still very angry. Every day, Chen Cheng is pushed and questioned by Alexander, and Chang Feng plays Tai Chi and Push Hands in a non-yin and yang manner. He has long been mentally exhausted and exhausted. The feeling of being caught in the middle is absolutely uncomfortable. Now, Alexander is starting to lose his temper.

, Chen Cheng could no longer suppress his anger and stood up in a hurry, his eyes widening.

He shouted with a louder voice than Alexander: "General, let me remind you that the power to send troops is in the hands of Vice Chairman Tang. Even if Vice Chairman Tang immediately sends troops to reach Mandalay, it will take at least four

For more than three days, shouldn't the more than 400,000 British troops stationed in Mandalay do something during this period? Just watch the Japanese troops march towards Mandalay as if they were in an uninhabited country.

, Do you have to wait until our ** team to block and defend?"

Alexander opened his blue eyes wide and looked at Chen Cheng, who had a stiff neck and wide-eyed Chen Cheng. He shook his head in disbelief. This Chinese general, who had always been submissive, was uncharacteristically yelling at him today. He couldn't help but feel arrogant.

He restrained himself a lot. Frankly speaking, Alexander couldn't answer Chen Cheng's pressing questions.

You can't tell Chen Cheng clearly that our army of the British Empire is preparing to withdraw to India, and your ** troops are covering our retreat. Alexander was furious, but he couldn't find the right words to refute Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng showed no sign of weakness.

, the two of them were like fighting cocks, refusing to give in to each other and glaring at each other angrily.

In the end, it was Stilwell who acted as the peacemaker and managed to hold the two of them down. Tang Qiuli had not yet shown up, and bad news came from Mandalay. The British-Burmese army Yegan sent by Francis to stop the Japanese army, because of Duo

The defensive group suffered a huge defeat as soon as it exchanged fire with the Japanese vanguard.
