Chapter 660: Showdown (1)
Stilwell was completely angry. The British went too far. The casual American reporters took photos and interviews, causing the black market to almost disappear. Stilwell ordered Gao Fei to clamp down on the black market. Gao Fei was very helpless.
Due to the threat, the penicillin and other materials that the Chinese Expeditionary Force continues to purchase must be purchased from the black market and cannot be banned.
Stilwell approached the British for negotiation and communication, but Mountbatten scolded him in the face. Mountbatten, who had always been extremely well-educated, thought that Stilwell was a gentleman who had sinned with the Chinese to slander the British Empire. Mountbatten forgot about Stilwell in his anger.
Wei is most famous for his narrow-mindedness. He was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas emerged.
As soon as Stilwell returned to Meimiao's headquarters, he rushed to report Mountbatten's report to Marshall and President Roosevelt, saying that the British were sabotaging the entire Southeast Asian war. This big hat was really not light, and it lacked sufficient
The combat effectiveness of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in terms of supplies, weapons, and ammunition has been greatly disrupted.
Naturally, Roosevelt and Marshall in the United States didn't know what was wrong with Burma. Before, Stilwell and Mountbatten were focused on dealing with Gao Fei and forcing him to fight. Now that they have achieved results, Stilwell in turn cursed Mountbatten? What's going on?
What went wrong? Roosevelt did not wait for Stilwell's detailed report, but saw three full pages of the Washington Post's detailed report.
According to reports, this naturally has a lot to do with the fueling of Goofy's two wives. The commercial acquisitions carried out using huge amounts of precious metals have been very successful. Lin Shujie and Lin Shujie have become frequent visitors to the upper class in the United States. After talking to congressmen,
The President of the Senate, Vice President, Secretary of Defense, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Secretary of the Treasury, etc. had a meal to discuss industrial development.
Although restricted by U.S. policies, Lin Shujie and Lin Shujie already have a certain degree of political influence. For example, this report was completely biased towards China, with large photos of Chinese military doctors buying penicillin on the black market, leaving wounded soldiers without medicine.
The reports of being able to wait for death made Roosevelt and Marshall suddenly realize that there seemed to be a big problem with their arrogant accommodation of Churchill?
The Chinese Expeditionary Force abandoned Renqiang'an due to insufficient material supplies. This was understandable in Gao Fei's view. Under the premise of insufficient material and ammunition supplies, the Chinese Expeditionary Force could only concentrate its forces on the western and middle routes to attack the Japanese army.

This time it is the British's turn to be troubled. Corruption within the British army is the same as that of other armies around the world. It will be fine unless it is exposed, but once it is announced, it will cause an uproar.
Wang Jin's 1st Mountain Infantry Brigade is still near Renqiang'an. Their mission is to attract Abe Norihide's mountain troops and cover the flanks of Dai Anlan's New Fourth Division. The New Fourth Division retreated safely, but Wang Jin was
Abe Kihide bit down hard
Well, Wang Jin, who is used to fighting in the mountains, really underestimated the enemy this time. Norihide Abe is indeed an expert in mountain tactics of the Japanese army. He used small groups of troops to continuously separate and attack together, tracking and attacking, and finally bit Wang Jin's mountain infantry.
The main force of a brigade.
War is like this. No one can become a true victorious general. A small mistake may lead to the annihilation of the entire army and affect the progress of the entire battle. Wang Jin simply did not think highly of Abe Norihide, a so-called expert in mountain guerrilla warfare.
I think it was selling articles in front of the Confucius Temple, and Guan Gong was playing a big trick in front of him.
However, Abe Norihide surprised Wang Jin with his precise tactics. How could anyone actually implement such tactics? The troops were dispersed into squads of dozens of people, and the squads of hundreds of people infiltrated and assembled to one point alone to form a group.
A large-scale army? Those Japanese mountain infantry who can even walk and eat seem to be no worse than Chinese soldiers.
In the early morning of April 3, 1942, the main force of the Japanese mountain army, more than 35,000 people under the command of Norihide Abe, an expert in mountain warfare, surrounded the small town of Naping, which was surrounded by mountains on one side and water on the other.
The town called "Verdun of the East" by the Japanese army was destined to be put under a magnifying glass.
In a small town with more than 200 households that even most Burmese people don't know, all the supporting technical troops and non-combat troops and agencies accompanying the 1st Mountain Infantry Brigade of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the town have evacuated.
Wang Jin was very surprised that more than 30 telecommunications technicians and engineers took the initiative to stay and participate in the battle. Hundreds of overseas Chinese young people nearby also took the initiative to stay and participate in the battle. Although these Chinese youths had high fighting spirit, they were extremely short of equipment and personnel.
The quality varies greatly.
Wang Jin hesitated again and again, and could only simply arm them with the Japanese weapons captured some time ago, and organized them into the first and second supplementary companies of the supplementary battalion.
The entire town of Naping can be said to be surrounded by mountain peaks. The two commanding heights such as Cuishan and Dujiaoling are all under the control of the 1st Mountain Infantry Brigade. In Burmese, Cuishan is famous for its jade production, but Naping is famous for its jade.
The town was unknown. Wang Jin checked the allocation of troops. Because the Japanese were too strong, they could only defend on the spot. The mountain infantry brigade was fully equipped.
While the 0.50-inch caliber M2 Browning machine gun of the heavy machine gun can completely cover any target within a range of 1,200 meters, several types of tanks mainly equipped by the Japanese army are like chopsticks under the armor-piercing bullets fired by the M2 machine gun.
The circular position formed by well-trained troops using beautiful weapons has been reinforced many times, and various firepower combinations have been calculated.
As the trump card, Wang Jin hid the twelve American-made light 105mm caliber howitzers under the main peak of Dujiao Ridge and fired at the Japanese army from the reverse slope at the maximum angle. After a simple fire test, the explosion triggered
The smoke slowly drifted away.
The light mist in the early morning spreads between the fields and the mountainside, making people feel as if they are in a fairyland. Everything is so peaceful and peaceful, as if they have never experienced this war, or that the war has never come.
Wang Jin paid the price for underestimating the enemy. He did not know that the commander of the Japanese mountain army, Norihide Abe, actually led his staff in a cypress forest a few kilometers away to observe the opponent's position and firepower configuration with a high-power artillery scope.
Abe Norihide was surprised that China
The army's transition to battle was so fast, and a complete defensive position was built in a short period of time. Not only were there multiple lines of defense, but the firepower points on the mountain peaks and the ground also intersected with each other. It seemed that his opponent was also a mountain warfare and
Expert in positional warfare.
