Chapter 61 One more outrageous than the other!
If he hadn't been concerned about the other person's identity, Stilwell really wanted to take off his military boots and hit the other person on the head.

Ever since he came to Myanmar, this guy always found excuses for not sending troops.

Either the weather is bad or there is no aviation kerosene.

Or maybe there's not enough ammunition.

Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to get them to attack.

I finally managed to convince this guy, but now he changes his mind.

For a moment, Stilwell thought of sending this guy back to the British Isles.

Even though Stilwell has no foundation here, he still has great power.

He had the power to decide on the rationing of supplies and could send telegrams directly to the White House.

Once the situation here is explained to the White House, considering the development of the war, the White House will definitely put pressure on the British Empire.

The British Empire still needs America to survive, so there is a high possibility that this guy will be transferred back.

"Lieutenant General Stilwell, even if we recapture the Tonggu Airport, its infrastructure will certainly be severely damaged. The British Empire's aircraft are very valuable, and we cannot waste them here meaninglessly." Lord Alexander's words were very decisive, that is, he would never agree to send troops.

Stilwell looked at the other party deeply. He knew that the other party had made the decision, which was to completely abandon Burma.

Or to take Rangoon from the Japanese army.

Do not!
It should be after the 140,000 British troops in Malaysia were completely wiped out that the British army made up its mind to give up everything except India.

But Stilwell absolutely disagreed with the other side giving up Burma so easily.

This concerns the safety of the Burma Road.

China on the other side has also reached the end of its rope.

Weapons and ammunition were also extremely scarce.

Without the assistance of the US military, they would not be able to hold out for long.

Therefore, he had to ensure the safety of the Burma Road, allow more supplies to enter the mountain city, and ensure that the other side could continue to fight.

Otherwise, if the other party chooses to surrender, the situation will become very bad.

This means that more than one million Japanese troops in the Chinese battlefield will enter the Pacific battlefield.

If that happens, it will be a huge disaster for the US military.

The focus of the US military now is to first eliminate the Japanese troops in the Pacific battlefield.

Secondly, we will be able to open up a second battlefield.

After all, fighting on two fronts was too stressful. Take the German army that was stuck in a quagmire as an example.

Weapons and equipment are nothing, but there are not enough troops, and the new recruits are useless.

There were more than two million German troops on the Western Front in Europe, although most of the elite troops were transferred to the Eastern Front.

But the remaining troops are not something that can be dealt with by the new recruits who have no combat experience.

Therefore, Stilwell's first priority was to ensure that the mountain city had the determination to continue resisting.

And the source of determination is military aid.

Myanmar cannot be lost, and neither can the Burma Road.

Since the British army is unreliable, we can only find a way out ourselves.

Fortunately, he had the foresight to place the Sichuan Army directly under the Allied Command, otherwise he would have been helpless against the British Army.

The meeting ended unpleasantly, but Stilwell was in a very good mood overall.

"Tom, send a telegram to the Sichuan Army Corps at Tonggu Airport and tell them that from today on, they will be commanded by the Allied Command and they do not have to obey anyone's orders except mine." Stilwell returned to his office and immediately called his adjutant.

"Ah? Sir..." Tom was stunned and didn't understand why Stilwell did this.

"You don't understand." Stilwell did not explain too much, but signaled the other party to send a message immediately.

"Also, have Chennault send out a transport squadron. I need to airdrop weapons and ammunition to the Sichuan Army at Tonggu Airport."

Since the British Army was unreliable and the Expeditionary Force was hypocritical, Stilwell decided to find a solution on his own, the first of which was to transform the Sichuan Army Corps into an American-equipped regiment.

Tanks and cannons may not be equipped for the time being, but light and heavy machine guns, mortars and the like can still be equipped.

"Sir, do those Chinese people know how to use it? Do we need to send some instructors?" Tom added at the right time.

"Well, you are right. Considering their military qualities, they do need some instructors." Stilwell's eyes lit up. He still had a lot of resources he could mobilize.

For example, he had the right to mobilize Chennault's Flying Tigers.

So Chennault had to obey his orders.

In addition, he was accompanied by many military instructors who were specifically responsible for training the expeditionary force.

"Select a platoon of military instructors, mainly artillery, to fly to Tonggu Airport with the transport squadron." Stilwell said again.

"Yes, sir," Tom replied quickly.

After Tom left, Stilwell began to look at the map and think about the next battle plan.

Since the British army decided to abandon Burma, they had to give up Toungoo.

The Sichuan Army Corps under the Allied Command must be rescued, as it is the only military force in his hands.

"Retreat to Mandalay? Or retreat to Tangji?" Looking at the map, Stilwell was a little worried for a moment.

On the other side, the Sichuan Army that was cleaning up the airport had no idea that such huge wealth would fall on them.

"Commander, these British guys are really stingy. They didn't leave any good things." Lin Yi walked into the regiment headquarters and said a little annoyed.

I originally thought there would be some good things left at the airport, but what happened?

There's nothing good, just junk.

There are no decent weapons and equipment.

Krupp was also wondering if he could find one or two heavy artillery pieces to increase the firepower of the artillery battery.

As a result, there was not even a single shell.

It made him extremely disappointed.

"The British are not fools, how could they leave weapons and ammunition for us?" Cun Yunsheng was not surprised at all. Unless they were retreating in a hurry, they could forget about the weapons and ammunition in the armory.

Given the British character, they would never leave it to the expeditionary force even if it was blown up.

"But we got so many weapons in the previous village." Lin Yi wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Cun Yunsheng.

"Meng Fan is dead, where did he go?"

"The radio station is here." Lin Yi had just finished speaking when he heard Meng Fanle yelling.

"Commander, Commander, good news, good news." "What good news? Did Shancheng give us money?" Cun Yunsheng joked as he looked at Meng Fanle who was running over breathlessly.

"This is better news than giving out money in Shancheng." Meng Fanle couldn't hide the ecstasy on his face.

“We were recruited.”

"what?"

"Recruited?" Lin Yi didn't quite understand what it meant.

Aren’t they the Sichuan Army?

How did he get recruited?
Was he assigned to another unit?

If that's the case, won't I be controlled by others in the future?

While thinking, Lin Yi looked at Cun Yunsheng next to him, trying to read something from his face, but what he saw was a calm face without any expression.

"Commander? Why don't you react?" Meng Fanle looked at Cun Yunsheng without any reaction and asked in confusion.

"What's there to be excited about? Tell me what happened. How did he get recruited out of nowhere?" Cun Yunsheng was a little confused, but he remained calm on the surface.

Recruit him?
See if you care about him.

Unless you can offer him a benefit he can't refuse.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible to agree.

"It's not that we're incorporated, it's just that we've been designated as a unit directly under the Allied Command." After Meng Fanle finished speaking, Cun Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yi was still very confused.

How did it suddenly become directly under the Allied Command?
"Commander, what's going on?" Lin Yi asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was also a little confused. He thought for a while and then guessed.

"I guess it's possible that our record is outstanding and we were noticed by the Allied Commander."

"Tsk." This reason made the two people sneer.

Defeated a large group of Japanese troops head-on?
What kind of record is this?

That’s not the case, it seems to be a significant achievement indeed.

The 200th Division in the city wiped out more than Japanese troops, which was widely reported.

All in all, after they entered Burma, they killed nearly a thousand Japanese troops, which was dozens of times more than their thirty people.

The record is indeed quite good.

"Okay, how would we know what our superiors are thinking? But I only know that from now on, our Sichuan Army Corps is really going to become rich." Cun Yunsheng put away his joking expression and said solemnly.

"Stop it. Send a telegram to the Allied Command. Try to make our situation as dire as possible. Ask for more weapons and equipment. It would be best if we could get a few military instructors."

Although he didn't understand why his Sichuan Army Corps became a direct unit of the Allied Forces, Cun Yunsheng would never show mercy when it came to getting benefits.

Who knew that before he could send the telegram, the telegraph operator came running in with the telegram.

"Damn, that's so fucking generous..." Looking at the content of the telegram, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but swear.

If Stilwell was in front of him, he would definitely hug the old man and give him a few kisses.

He didn't even need to urge them, as the other party was very considerate and wanted to send him various weapons and equipment. Not only that, they also provided him with a platoon of military instructors, fearing that his troops would not know how to use these weapons and equipment.

Such thoughtful service touched Cun Yunsheng deeply.

This thigh is really too thick.

Not only that, the back of the telegram also explained why they were classified as troops directly under the Allied Command.

His words imply that as long as one follows him, there will be enough weapons and equipment, and even military pay can be solved.

For a moment, Cun Yunsheng's eyes turned red.

Suddenly, he felt that the weapons and equipment he had with his golden finger were of no use.
Holding on to Stilwell is the real golden finger.

At this moment, he just hoped that this little old man could live longer.

"From now on, our Sichuan Army Corps will be a well-known ace of American weapons." Handing the telegram to the two people, Cun Yunsheng said earnestly.

"Aren't the Americans too good to us?" Meng Fan felt like he was dreaming. It was really outrageous.

"It really feels like a dream." Lin Yi was also dizzy and couldn't believe it.

Only Cun Yunsheng guessed something.

This old guy Stilwell wants to use sugar-coated bullets to tie them down and make them work for him without knowing it.

It can't be said that he is risking his life. It can only be said that this old guy has a lot of ideas, but he has no soldiers.

So they set their sights on this Sichuan Army Corps which had no background.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that he was a wolf that could not be tamed.

For now, he accepted all the sugar-coated bullets from the US military, but as for orders, he had to execute them selectively.

With Stilwell's assistance, the source of his weapons was explained.

Otherwise, if weapons and ammunition are always found in the basement, it will definitely arouse other people's suspicion over time.

Compared to the enormous wealth that is about to come to Cun Yunsheng's side.

On the other side, Yu Xiaoqing, who was also from the Sichuan Army, was so jealous that his eyes were red.

"Defeat a battalion of Japanese troops head-on? Save the Tonggu Airport?"

"Troops directly under the Allied Command?"

Looking at the telegrams, each one more outrageous than the last, Yu Xiaoqing felt dizzy.

"Isn't this too outrageous?" After a long time, Zhang Lixian finally uttered these words.

He Shuguang next to him was completely speechless.

I remembered that not long ago, I had secretly mocked that guy for being a glib-mouthed man who didn't know how to fight.

As a result, the opponent counterattacked with a big move, which made him feel hot on the face.

"Commander, is this news true?" He Shuguang couldn't help but say.

"Could the telegram sent by Commander Du Yuming be false?" Yu Xiaoqing said speechlessly.

He also didn't expect that the young lieutenant colonel could achieve such a brilliant record. It was really unbelievable.

The Cun family is truly a family of generals with many talented people.
