Chapter 199: Isn’t righteousness coming soon? (First update!) “French pilots are indeed not comparable to those stupid Thai pilots.” Zhang Yang couldn’t help but praise the plane when he saw the pilot popping out of the cockpit and parachuting out the moment the plane landed. As long as you hesitate for a few seconds, you will definitely land with the fighter plane. “Continue to pursue and kill, don’t let anyone go. The bombers will bomb the French positions.” Zhang Yang continued to stare at the other French fighter planes that were hurriedly retreating, and then controlled the fighter planes to pursue them. On the ground, He Shuguang's troops had crossed the river and continued to advance in depth. “Don’t pay attention to those fortifications and keep pushing forward.” He Shuguang waved his hand and said proudly. According to the previously formulated plan, the fortifications built by the French army on the highlands were very tightly defended. If they wanted to attack by force, they would only sacrifice the lives of soldiers in vain. So, He Shuguang believed that instead of attacking forcefully, it would be better to go around directly. To put it bluntly, we want to copy the tactics of the Ardennes Forest. “The French army’s front line was well defended and extended in depth, but its troops were too concentrated on the front line and there was definitely not enough troops in the rear.”
"So as long as we go around and attack the rear of the French army, we can defeat the French army in front of us." He Shuguang confidently followed Zhang Lixian before setting off. “Xiao He, I didn’t realize it. It’s been so long since I last saw you, but you’ve made such rapid progress?” Zhang Lixian looked at him in surprise. He really didn’t expect that Xiao He would make such rapid progress. Who knows? He Shuguang scratched his head and said. “It’s not that I made faster progress, but that the regiment leader taught me well. He knew I was coming, and the regiment leader specifically introduced to me the tactical advantages and disadvantages of the French army.” “They are good at defense and use trenches to wear down the enemy.” “So we must use our own advantages, avoid the enemy’s advantages, and attack the enemy’s disadvantages, so that we can win.” After saying this, He Shuguang’s eyes were full of admiration. He did not expect that the seemingly young Cun Yunsheng would have such a profound understanding of the use of tactics. Zhang Lixian couldn't help but nod in agreement. So I agree with He Shuguang’s strategy of bypassing the enemy. As for the French army on the opposite side, they had no idea that the Sichuan Army had already retreated. Still foolishly looking forward to being able to rely on large depth to hold the line of defense and wait for counterattacks. But soon, the French commander, Governor-General Degou, discovered something was wrong. "Damn, these idiots, how do they hold the line of defense? The enemy has already attacked the door, and they are still guarding the front line?" Governor Degu slapped the telegram sent by the Air Force on the table and shouted angrily. . He was extremely desperate for the men in front of him. “Your Majesty the Governor, we did not expect that they would directly choose to bypass the frontline positions and attack our rear instead.” “Not only that, relying on the speed of the tank’s advance, our troops left in the rear cannot hold it at all.” "Yes, not only that, their firepower is very powerful, and they are all American-style equipment." Someone couldn't help but argue.
These really have nothing to do with them. Who knows that the group of yellow-skinned monkeys on the opposite side will choose to go back. “Idiots, idiots, when did you look down on these yellow-skinned monkeys with your old eyes?” "Can you use your brains? They can defeat the Japanese army, but they can't defeat you? You idiots." Governor Degu shouted again. “Your Excellency, Governor, are the tactics used by the Sichuan Army the same as those used by the German Army in the Ardennes Forest?” Someone looked at the map and expressed his opinion. Hearing this, many French army officers shuddered subconsciously. They were indeed frightened by the German blitzkrieg. Even if I mention it now, I will feel inexplicable fear. More importantly, since the German Blitzkrieg became famous, commanders from various countries have been thinking about replicating the Blitzkrieg. "How is it possible? How can these yellow-skinned monkeys understand the German blitzkrieg? It's absolutely impossible." Governor Degu shook his head and said in disbelief. The officers who were sprayed looked at each other and kept thinking in their hearts. I have already said that we should not be defensive and should take the initiative to attack. The result is that we don’t agree at all, and believe that the advantage of the French army is to counterattack during defense. This is their tactical summary from the First World War. Who allowed the French army to lose World War II so quickly that their tactics were not updated at all. Hence, the minds of the senior officers of the French army were still silent on the positional warfare of World War I. “There is also an air force. Why was the entire army wiped out?” Governor Degu suppressed his inner anger and looked at the officers of the air force again. The air force officers whose names were called first looked at each other, and then one officer stood up and explained. “Your Majesty the Governor, the Sichuan Army’s fighter planes are more advanced than ours. They are all Spitfires, P38 fighters, and several Japanese fighters.” “Assholes, you idiots, shit, don’t you have anything else on your mind except drinking and women?” Governor Degu was furious. "Your Majesty the Governor, you can't blame us. No one knows that the Sichuan Army's fighter planes have been waiting for us in the sky. We also think that there is no need to provoke the Sichuan Army. After all, they represent the Allies." The one who spoke The officer looked aggrieved. Originally, the choices of these colonies are multi-directional. To put it bluntly, if the Free French are dominant, then they are Free French colonies. If Vichy France has the upper hand, then they are Vichy French colonies. Life can be very good. This is also the choice of most French colonies. Originally, they could live like this, but who knew that their governor had a brain attack. To provoke the Allied Sichuan Army. Even if the Japanese army declines, their colonies can completely change their flags and continue to live comfortably. After all, Free France has a pretty good relationship with the Allies.
The result is that people are attacking the Thai army. If you go to help yourself again, don't blame others for taking action first. "Allies? Damn Allies, have you forgotten how we don't have a navy? Damn Allies, **** British guys, a bunch of stinking shit." Governor Degu roared angrily. All right! As soon as these words came out, everyone present fell silent. Because what the Governor said is right. The reason why so many colonies chose to support Vichy France was because their navy was gone? And the British troops, who claimed to be their allies, were all sunk in the port due to a sneak attack. It was this shame that they would not join the Allies at all. This is why they despise Free France. Of course, there are other reasons, but those are only one factor. "Your Majesty the Governor, what should we do now? Continue to let the Sichuan Army go deeper? Or mobilize heavy troops? Set up a new line of defense to block them, and then surround them?" an officer asked. Fortunately, this is a tropical rainforest, the infrastructure is not that good, and there are many hills, so the advancement speed will not be very fast. Strictly speaking, they still have hope. "Well, let the Sichuan Army continue to go deep, mobilize troops, and surround them." Now that the Sichuan Army has already invaded, it is impossible to modify the battle plan. The best way is to lure the enemy deeper and consume the opponent's supplies. At this time, mobilize the main force to complete the encirclement and strive to eliminate the opponent in one go. It’s just that the Sichuan Army’s operations next made Governor Degu completely confused. … "He Shuguang still has some brains. He listened to what I said. Zhang Lixian also cooperated well and attracted the attention of the French army." Cun Yunsheng looked at the telegram sent back with a smile on his lips. "Commander, is this going too far? If the French army mobilizes heavy troops to surround us, wouldn't it be very dangerous?" Meng Fanglia looked at the map and asked worriedly. Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng chuckled. "You are right. Normally, if this kind of lone army goes deep, as long as heavy troops are mobilized, this army can indeed be destroyed." “But have you forgotten the reason why I specially deployed those tanks?” “In order to strengthen their ability to advance, all the air force was dispatched to cooperate with the bombing of the French army’s transportation and supply lines.” “At the same time, I sent another telegram to Stilwell, asking him to dispatch ten transport planes for supplies.” “What do you think the French army will do to fight me?” “The only old Renault tanks they have left? Or those old bi-wing fighter planes?” “The French army’s will to fight is not as tenacious as you think.”
After listening to Cun Yunsheng's words, Meng Fanglia suddenly realized that this was the case. He was still wondering why Cun Yunsheng wasn't worried at all. It turned out that we had already made preparations. “Since the French army sincerely wants to give Khmer to us, it is naturally impossible for us not to accept this great gift.” Cun Yunsheng sneered. If it weren't for the lack of troops, I'm afraid he would have captured Annan in one fell swoop. "This is a telegram sent by Stilwell. He approves of our actions with both hands. The old man has finally figured it out and finally knows that his duty is to be the chief of staff of the Southeast Asian theater, not some British guy's henchman." Cun Yunsheng handed him another telegram. “Thirty M4 tanks will arrive soon, and they will also be equipped with a certain number of armored vehicles? Ten transport aircraft will be allocated to us at the same time?” Meng Fanlian received the telegram and after reading it, he couldn’t help but look surprised. “Also, the New First Army has begun to accelerate its reorganization. The first batch of 5,000 troops will soon arrive in Imphal from Kunming. After the reorganization is completed, they will attack Mandalay.” “The 55th Division is not far from defeat.” Cun Yunsheng said casually. He also did not expect that Stilwell could be so determined to completely abandon the British army and start to attack Mandalay. “What about Long Wenwen’s indigenous army?” Meng Fanglia immediately realized that this was an opportunity. “Let him find a way to hold Yangon.” Originally Cun Yunsheng was planning to ask Long Wenwen to abandon Yangon, but who knew that Stilwell's telegram made him change his mind. Whoever takes Yangon at this time will have great justice. Coupled with Stilwell's support, the British would have to fight to get it back. In the end, it has to be solved by strength. This time is an excellent opportunity for the development of the resistance army. With great righteousness and Stilwell's support, the British army is afraid that they will encounter obstacles everywhere. As for the new army? I guess I will have to go back after the fight is over. Shancheng can't worry about such an elite force being out of control. “Let Zhao Yi take over the volunteer team as soon as possible, use his name, and let the natives know Zhao Yi’s background and identity.” Cun Yunsheng said immediately. "In addition, let Long Wenwen seize the time to expand the army. Don't worry about the quality of the soldiers. First, increase the number of people." “It doesn’t take much, just 50,000 people.” After hearing this, Meng Fan clicked his tongue for a while, "Isn't it necessary?" 50,000 people? Can Stilwell afford it? All right! It’s really affordable!
This little money is really nothing to Stilwell. As for this part of the money, most of it will eventually fall into the hands of the Sichuan Army. "As long as Zhao Yi's name is known, some of our business will be easier to handle in the future. Otherwise, many things will be difficult to buy." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said. Hearing this, Meng Fangliao knew what Cun Yunsheng was talking about. “Then shall I send a telegram to Long Wenzhang right away?” “Go.” On the other side, Long Wenwen received the telegram and after reading it, handed it to Zhao Yi who was standing aside. "Congratulations, Zhao Yi, you will be the real master of Yangon City from now on. I just hope you don't forget who supported you." Long Wenwen said seriously. Zhao Yi expressed solemnly. “Don’t worry, I won’t forget it.” “Well, that’s good. I’ll leave the volunteer team to you from now on. I hope you won’t forget Sun Yufei’s lesson.” Long Wenwen said calmly. “Since we can replace him, we don’t mind replacing him with another one.” “Yes, sir.” Zhao Yi quickly shook his head and said no. Long Wenwen doesn’t believe it at all. His mission is to keep an eye on Zhao Yi. Whenever there is something wrong with this guy, he will take action. “Next, use your name and recruit more people. We must hold Yangon and wait for the arrival of the allies.” Long Wenwen said solemnly. The two regiments of the Japanese army are not far from Yangon, according to the information provided by Cun Yunsheng. Allied troops will be dispatched within a week at most, so the following period will be the most difficult time for these volunteers. As long as you hold on, the future will be bright. If you can't hold it, everything is in vain. After all, Stilwell doesn't like chess pieces that have no value at all. "Yes, I will fully cooperate with you." Zhao Yi also looked serious. Not long after, Yangon City set off a wave of recruiting troops. As long as you join the army, you will be given money immediately. Anyway, the Allies pay for everything. At the same time, he shouted the slogan that Yangon should be decided by the Myanmar people themselves. For a time, the recruitment office was very busy, and everyone enthusiastically signed up to join the army. For these people, Long Wenwen made one request. Each person was given a rifle and ten bullets, and then they were brought to the front line to serve as cannon fodder.
For him, as long as he can block the Japanese attack, it is enough. As for cannon fodder, it is not as much as he needs. I have to say that Long Wenwen’s ability to deceive is indeed very strong. In just one day, tens of thousands more people were gathered. This made the Japanese troops who came to prepare to recapture Yangon a little confused. Although they are all a mob, if there are too many people, they will sometimes kill an elephant. Not to mention, news came from Mandalay that the main force of the Allied forces was suspected of making strange movements. Start taking Chinese medicine to take care of your body. There are two more updates!
