Chapter 1001 ashamed for them
Operational Staff Xu Zhihui said with concern: "Military throne, the Guard Corps is the only mobile force that our military headquarters can directly mobilize, and it is also the last security guarantee for our military headquarters.
If all the troops were transferred to reinforce the 29th Division, once the Japanese had a small group of troops interspersed in the rear, wouldn’t our military headquarters be taken over?"
Xu Zhihui’s concerns are not just unreasonable, but have considerable realistic basis.
The 66th Army headquarters is located in Wangangshan Town, which is more than 20 kilometers away from the front line. But seriously, this distance is really not safe.
Not to mention that the Japanese can airdrop paratroopers and behead them, the Japanese are also very good at infiltration of small units. The distance between more than 20 kilometers and the infantry marching in a hurry is only two or three hours.
"What should you say?"
Zhang Zhen glared at Xu Zhihui with anger. How could he not know that it was powerful? But now he has no other cards to play except for the guard regiment that can be commanded.
As for the retreat of the entire army, it is definitely not possible now, because he really can't bear the blame.
Once the word "retreat" is said from him, not only will the honor of the soldiers be destroyed, but they may even have to pay their lives.
"this!"
Xu Zhihui was stopped by questioning. It was hard for a good cook to cook without rice. He was just a combat staff officer who could not cope with this crisis.
"Okay! Don't talk nonsense if there is no better way!"
Zhang Zhen waved his hand impatiently, and then said in a hurry: "Instead of standing here and helpless, you might as well urge it again, let the 71st Army and the 6th Army send troops to rescue as soon as possible, and let the air force provide fire support as soon as possible.
In addition, we will generate electricity to the Chief Command, truthfully inform us of the difficult situation of the 66th Army, and ask General Stilwell and Commander Yang to send a fast mobile force to rescue the scene as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Xu Zhihui responded quickly and then ran away in a hurry.
The 6th Army Headquarters.
"What? The 66th Army can't stand it so quickly?"
After receiving an emergency telegram from Zhang Zhen, Gan Lichu frowned and said angrily: "The 66th Army has more than 30,000 people, and they are all American equipment. After fighting for a long time, it was in a hurry. What the hell are they doing?"
As a close confidant of Chairman Jiang, Gan Lichu was loyal to Chairman Jiang from beginning to end. The 6th Army, as the central unit, has always been very strong in terms of weapons, equipment and combat will.
Especially after changing into advanced American equipment, the 6th Army has improved a lot in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting will. Therefore, although they suffered hard attacks from two Japanese Armored Divisions, their positions are still very stable and they are fighting with Japanese devils in a very good way.
In the original history, Gan Lichu was dismissed from office in the name of poor combat command in Myanmar. In addition to his poor relationship with Stilwell, he was actually largely involved in the collapse of the 66th Army.
Deputy Commander Zhou Zhiqun said in a deep voice: "The 66th Army was temporarily formed to form an expeditionary army. Except for the newly reorganized 38th Division, the Tax Police Corps, which is still very effective, the other two divisions have very weak combat power.
The 18th Japanese Army was basically Japanese veterans with rich combat experience. This time, they were stimulated by the serious setbacks in the battle of the Salwin River defense line. Naturally, they still tried their best to get back the situation!
The 66th Army is indeed under great pressure, and it is not surprising that it will be difficult to resist for a while."
Gan Lichu said angrily: "That's true! But the American equipment in their hands is not a fire stick. It can't stand it in just half a day, and it's unreasonable no matter what!
Look at the 22nd Army. In the past, they always joked that others were the beggar troops of miscellaneous army. Now they can withstand and defeat the powerful attack of the Japanese army under the bombardment of Japanese planes and cannons!"
Speaking of this, Gan Lichu really felt ashamed of being ashamed of the 66th Army. Although the 66th Army is not a central direct unit, it is still a dignified National Army sequential unit. It is much more important than the local miscellaneous cannon fodder troops like the 22nd Army, right?
But why did they not give Chairman Jiang a strong face?
After a pause, Gan Lichuyu was still angry and continued to complain: "Our 6th Army is being attacked by two Japanese Armored Divisions. Our pressure is a little more than them now. We are still making it difficult for the Japanese to move forward?
Why are these cowards so embarrassed to ask us for help? I'm ashamed of them!"
"Brother Riru, now is not the time to speak angry words."
Zhou Zhiqun sighed softly and said earnestly: "Our army and the 66th Army are mutually supportive. If the 66th Army is quickly defeated, our army may not be able to keep itself alone, and its lips are dead and its teeth are cold."
Gan Lichu waved her hand angrily and said, "Now the road bridge has been blown up by the Japanese. Even if we want to cross the river to save them, we don't have the ability!
What's more, we can only resist but not fight back. It's not easy for our army to barely defend the position. Where can we draw reinforcements to rescue them now?"
“…”
Seeing that Gan Lichu was determined and wanted to sweep the snow in front of the door, Zhou Zhiqun could only remain silent.
Chief Command of Yangon, Myanmar.
After watching the first show of the rocket launcher troops on site, Yang Fan and others took a helicopter to return to Yangon.
As soon as the front foot arrived at the headquarters, Stilwell received a telegram from the 66th Army, so he hurriedly found Yang Fan and frowned and said, "Yang, look at this! What the hell is the 66th Army doing? Is their defense line made of tofu?"
Yang Fan picked up the telegram and glanced at it, snorting coldly: "The 66th Army is in a hurry so quickly? Are these guys all eating a good meal?"
Yang Fan was really unhappy. Although he didn't have much hope for the 66th Army or even the 6th Army, at least you have to fight for the breath. At least you have to consume a wave of Japanese devils to have vitality and spirit!
Stilwell frowned and said, "What should I do now? Should I order the 71st Army to support the 66th Army immediately?"
Stilwell is actually a very thoughtful and opinionated person, but now he has been with Yang Fan for a long time and is used to the rhythm of lying on the fly, so he gradually developed the habit of listening to Yang Fan's opinions first.
Yang Fan waved his hand and said, "Don't worry! The 66th Army's American equipment is not a fire stick. They are just too afraid of the enemy, so they cannot exert their combat power!"
Stilwell raised his eyebrows and said, "Yang, do you mean to let the 66th Army continue to hold its position?"
Yang Fan nodded and said, "That's right, they have to stay for at least two days before they can retreat!"
"Hold on for two days before retreating?"
