At this time, in the expeditionary command center, Stilwell also received a telegram from Wang Yongan.
"Transferred to Lashou ~"
Seeing Wang Yong 'an's telegram, Stilwell's face had a solemn expression." Is this Wang Yong' an really sure that the expeditionary army will lose?”
Stilwell had two thoughts about Wang Yong 'an's request.
The first one was that he didn't agree. Stilwell even wanted to transfer Wang Yongan to the front line in Mandalay as the main force in the battle against the Japanese.
Especially now that Stilwell was constantly fighting for the greatest power of the joint commander through the efforts of the Americans.
If Stilwell really wanted to achieve anything in this position, he would have to have an army that could be mobilized at any time.
Wang Yongan was the only one who had reached a consensus with Stilwell.
However, from a personal perspective, Stilwell could feel that Wang Yong 'an was a very far-sighted person and had a very deep understanding of the battle situation.
Previously, Wang Yong 'an had ordered the 200th Division and the newly formed 22nd Division to guard the front line of Dongzhi Lashou. However, the two main divisions had been transferred back to Mandalay to rest and prepare for the battle at Mandalay!
Now, Wang Yong 'an even came to find him and talked about this matter in private. This meant that Wang Yong' an was not optimistic about the Mandalay battle, and he was not even optimistic about the expeditionary army's battle in Myanmar ~
This put Stilwell in a dilemma ~
After a while, Stilwell seemed to have thought of something and took out a coin."God, please ~"
As soon as he finished speaking, Stilwell threw the coin into the air. The coin kept spinning in the air and finally fell on the table.
"On the other hand, it seems like even God doesn't think it's time for me to appear!”Stilwell muttered.
"In the name of the Chief of Staff of the joint command, order the Ferocious Tiger Division to return to Lashou for rest!”
Stilwell said to the messenger beside him.
"Yes, sir!"
In the mountain city.
Stilwell's orders naturally couldn't escape the bald man's information network. At this time, the bald man had smashed his rice bowl.
"What is this Wang Yong 'an thinking?”The bald man said loudly," He actually found connections to transfer them to Lashou. Are they going to watch our expeditionary army lose?”
"You want to be a warlord and preserve your strength?”
"When did Wang Yong 'an become afraid of death? He's actually hiding everywhere now ~" The bald man slammed the table loudly.
"President ~"
Gu San said," Wenkang might have his own considerations for doing this. Moreover, now that Wenkang has made a contribution at the front line, he can defend the rear now. He can also let the other troops perform!”
Gu San had been speaking up for Wang Yong An. On one hand, he was doing Fang Yong An and the Song family a favor. On the other hand, Gu San's niece, Gu Yufei, was still under Wang Yong An's command. Naturally, he had to take care of her.
"Humph ~"
Hearing Gu San's words, the bald man snorted coldly," I think this Wenkang is just too proud to take credit for himself. He keeps making his own decisions!”
"I asked Wen Kang to command the frontline Tonggu, but he ordered the 200th Division and the new 22nd Division to withdraw!”
"Now that the Mandalay Battle is being prepared, he actually wants to retreat at the back ~"
"President ~"
Gu San said again," I think it's better to let Wenkang's Fierce Tiger Division guard Dongzhi as a reserve force!”
"As for Lashou, the 96th division will guard it!”
Gu San directly switched the position of the 96th division and the Ferocious Tiger Division. It looked like it was useless, but the Ferocious Tiger Division was placed in front. In the future, when the Mandalay Battle broke out, the Ferocious Tiger Division could also provide timely support!
If that was the case, then the baldy's claim that Wang Yong 'an was afraid of battle would be gone.
"Alright, then we'll do as you say!”The bald man nodded.
On the other side, Wang Yong 'an sighed helplessly after receiving the bald man's telegram.
This bald man still cared about his face ~
The main reason why the expeditionary army entered Myanmar was to ensure the smooth flow of the Yunnan-Myanmar Road.
What was the Yunnan-Myanmar Road for?
It was to make use of Myanmar's seaport to complete the connection between the national army and the alliance army, allowing the alliance army's support to smoothly reach the national occupied area.
But now, all the seaport in southern Myanmar had been lost, and the failure of the Tonggu Battle had made it impossible to recover the seaport.
The Battle of Mandalay now was all for the sake of saving face!
It was the same whether he won or lost. The Yunnan-Myanmar highway had lost its function.
"Master, where are we going now?”Gu Yufei asked.
"Go to Dongzhi!" Wang Yong 'an said," Let's do as the old man says. We'll go to Dongzhi to defend!”
"Yufei, pass down the order to the artillery regiment and engineer regiment in Lashou. The engineer regiment will return to Tengchong and wait for orders from our division!
The artillery regiment set off from Lashou and entered the mountain range at the border of Lashou and Dongzhi. At the same time, they searched for a suitable artillery position!”
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Yufei nodded.
"Also, send a telegram to Chen Xinghuai. Tell him to lead Regiment 356 to Lashou and meet up with the artillery regiment to protect their safety!”Wang Yong 'an said again.
Since the bald man had already made such arrangements, it would be unreasonable if he did not go.
Moreover, Wang Yong 'an had thought that if he had been stationed in Lashou, there would definitely be a fierce battle. Now that he was in Dongzhi, it was just that this fierce battle had been brought forward.
"We can't hide anymore. Just hit him hard!”
Wang Yong 'an sighed.
At this time, in Yangon, the Japanese's troop-carrying ships stopped at the coast without any restraint. A large number of soldiers and equipment were transported down from the ships.
"Yo ~"
At this moment, the Japanese's highest commander in Myanmar, Kimura Taro, looked at the endless supply of reinforcements and nodded in satisfaction.
"How much longer before the Imperial Army of Japan arrives?”Kimura Taro asked.
"One week!"
A major general at the side said," The 13th and 53rd divisions are all in position!”
"Yes!"
Kimura Taro nodded in satisfaction.
"In addition, the 2nd and 18th Regiment have already begun their preparations. It won't be long before they arrive!”
the major general continued.
"Yo ~"
Kimura Taro nodded." That's good too. When the time comes, we'll use Myanmar as a breakthrough point. We'll enter China in the east and Asan in the west. The Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere will soon be realized!”
"Hey!"
The generals around Kimura Taro revealed excited smiles on their faces!
