After eating and drinking, the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army began to line up to get a full set of military uniforms and personal supplies.

Military uniforms and military shoes are all camouflage, which have the advantages of cold resistance, wind resistance, breathability, water permeability, and camouflage.

The helmet is a camouflage steel helmet, which is hard and lightweight, and can effectively resist stray bullets and fragments on the side, and its frontal defense is also quite strong.

The entire military uniform system is priced at only 25 wealth points, with a very cost-effectiveness, which is very suitable for the climate and geographical environment of Myanmar.

Issuing 50,000 military uniforms only costs 1.25 million wealth points, which is as simple as pulling a leg hair from Yang.

In addition, each soldier also distributed marching bags, soap, toothpaste and toothbrushes, military kettles, towels, lunch boxes, rice forks, mosquito repellents, anti-worm medicines and other personal items.

After receiving military uniforms and personal belongings, under the guidance of logistics personnel, the officers and soldiers of the Sichuan Army took turns to enter the bathhouse to take a bath and change clothes. After cleaning up, they distributed weapons, equipment, communication equipment, conventional medicines according to the establishment, and finally allocated barracks and garages.

At the same time, the logistics department also sent a large number of military doctors to conduct comprehensive inspections and treatment of disabled soldiers in the army.

Due to the lack of medicines and doctors in China, many soldiers were only slightly injured, but because they did not receive effective treatment for a long time, the wound became suppurated and muscles rotted, which eventually turned into serious injuries that seriously affect physical and mental health. There were even hundreds of wounded soldiers lying halfway along the way.

It was not until 9 am that the Sichuan Army completed a complete set of procedures from 5 to 6 pm. After the replacement, the 22nd Group Army suddenly looked refreshed. Everyone was energetic and heroic, just like a central direct unit trained by Chairman Jiang.

If I hadn't seen the whole process with my own eyes, I would never have believed that the army in front of me was the beggar army that drove into Menggong this morning!

After inspecting the tour, Zhu Ying said with great emotion: "Sure enough, Commander Yang is still rich and powerful. He regards our Sichuan Army as a human being. We are really here in the right place this time!"

Li Jiayu nodded and said, "Yes, especially the newly recruited eggs who just added to the table have enjoyed their fortunes. In the past two years, those days have been really hard. They have to eat without food and wear clothes, they have to be sick and injured, and there is still a shortage of guns and ammunition.

We are simply fighting for our lives. Only one or two of the old brothers from the past survived. It would be great if they could survive until now!"

"I won't talk about those things anymore, the more I say it, the sadder it becomes!"

Chen Dingxun waved his hand with red eyes and said, "Next, we must quickly restore the troops to their physical strength, be familiar with weapons and equipment, and let those Guawazi who have just come from their hometown grow up as soon as possible."

"Yes, more than half of us are recruits who have just been recruited. If we don't have enough training, we will go to the battlefield and die! We must hurry up and train!

It is crucial to keep Myanmar. The Japanese devils will definitely do their best to attack. We will soon encounter an extremely cruel war!"

Zhu Ying nodded heavily, feeling both happy and excited, and also had an extremely urgent sense of responsibility and mission.

The 22nd Army currently has seven divisions, with a total number of nearly 50,000, but at least 27,000 are strong men who have just been recruited from Sichuan, all of whom are farmers and half-boys who have just put down their hoes.

The 22nd Army has added more than ten troops to the iron-killed army, and it has long been no longer the original team when it first left Sichuan.

There are only more than a thousand veterans who can survive until now, and the survival rate of veterans is less than 10%. Apart from the disabled and retired veterans, they have basically become commanders at the company level or above.

As Alexander and 40,000 British and Burmese troops were sent out to the North African battlefield by gifts, Yang Fan got his wish and not only took the British and Burmese Army headquarters for himself, and took over Yangon, Tonggu, Bogu, Bosheng, Maulan and other towns, but even half of the management rights of Myanmar were taken into account.

After Sun Zhen arrived at the Yangon War Zone Chief Command, Yang Fan asked Stilwell to convene all officers and staff officers at the division level and above to the Chief Command for a meeting.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, more than 30 senior generals including Yang Fan, Stilwell, Li Zongren, Wang Liguo, Chen Ergou, Yang Chengliang, Du Yuming, Lin Wei, Duan Zhongyi, Sun Zhen, Wei Yunsong, He Weizhen, Sun Liren and more gathered together to start the first high-level military meeting.

When the personnel arrived, Stilwell picked up a wooden stick and pointed to a city on the sand table in the war room: "Please see, this is Singapore, which is being attacked by the 18th Japanese Division.

According to current intelligence speculation, the fall of Singapore is inevitable and can last for up to two or three days.

Once the Japanese army is occupying Singapore, the Japanese combined fleet can enter the Andaman Sea through the Strait of Malacca, which directly threatens the security of coastal port cities in southern Myanmar. Among them, Yacheng, Maulhammén, Yangon and Bosheng will be the key bombardment targets of Japanese ships and aviation regiments."

After a pause, Stilwell continued: "If the Japanese Joint Fleet enters and controls the sea power in the Andaman Sea, the Japanese Army will no longer care about the threat of the British fleet and will inevitably attack Myanmar at the same time.

So there is no doubt that more than 100,000 troops from the three divisions of the 15th Japanese Army, who have already deployed troops in Thailand, will definitely attack Myanmar by land!

If the 15th Army is in a bad mood, the 18th Division of the Japanese army will definitely attack Myanmar from the Malay Peninsula. It is even possible that the Japanese Army Division will land in coastal cities such as Yangon under the coordination of the navy!”

"Next, let's analyze in detail what direction will the Japanese army attacking Myanmar from Thailand launch an attack!"

"The border between Myanmar and Thailand is 3,000 kilometers long, but to the north of Myanmar is the Shanbang Plateau with deep mountains and dense forests. There are no highways here, only high mountains and dense forests.

Even if the Japanese infantry climbed mountains and crossed the tropical jungle, their heavy equipment could not be passed, so in such a large area, the Japanese army could not concentrate their superior forces to cross the Salwin River for a short time!”

"Then in the first stage of the battle, the only offensive points that the Japanese 15th Army can choose are Serem, Yepi, Dafu, Wanjing, Queman, and Taiyu, and these three directions correspond to Yecheng, Maudmian, and Babang!"

"Although the Tuwa, Yecheng and Maudan in the southern Myanmar area are in a plain area and there is no dangerous terrain to defend, the two places of Yecheng and Maudan have been taken over by General Yang Fan's Hu Ben Army."

Hearing this, Du Yuming interrupted and asked, "General Stilwell, I am a little confused about this. As you said just now, the Tuwa, Yecheng, and Maulanmian are plains with a flat land, and there is no danger to defend at all.

Not only are it easy to suffer heavy artillery from the Japanese Army, but it is also easy to be bombarded by the Japanese Joint Fleet, and it is impossible to defend it.

And I think the narrow zone at the southern end of Myanmar has no strategic value for the Burma Highway.

Then why don’t you give up decisively and use your precious troops on the defense line with natural and dangerous advantages, but instead consume troops in these two small towns?”
