Alexander was shocked when he heard that the Chinese Expeditionary Force Parachute Division was being formed in India. Before he could speak, Stilwell pulled him out. About half an hour later, Alexander looked helpless and Stilwell smiled.

After returning, Stilwell nodded to Gao Fei and said, "After studying with General Alexander, we decided that one paratrooper division was too few, so we decided to form two paratrooper divisions."

Gao Fei was stunned. It seemed that he had fallen into a trap of Stilwell's. What on earth did Stilwell want to do? Alexander, a fool, actually let himself form two Chinese paratrooper divisions in the hinterland of India? The British

Is his brain flooded? Or did Stilwell give Alexander any benefits? Alexander forgot about it.

He himself is an Anglo-Nelson? Gao Fei looked at Stilwell in confusion. He knew that Stilwell, a simple paratrooper regiment was made so complicated? Can the Chinese Expeditionary Force add two more to live in it?

If you can't find the leader, you must go through the Supreme Commander Chiang Kai-shek. If it is a regiment, you can change the service branch, but add two divisions!

Gao Fei did not want to give Chiang Kai-shek the impression of being authoritarian, because Chiang Kai-shek himself was a heroic figure, so the people he was most wary of and wary of were people with the same personality and characteristics as him.

Stilwell's idea can be said to have severely impacted Gao Fei. Stilwell has always wanted to directly control the army, but Gao Fei has not allowed him to touch a single soldier for a long time. Now Gao Fei proposes a plan to control the army directly.

India's idea of ​​forming a paratrooper force can be said to be exactly what Stilwell wanted. Forming a regiment is also forming, and forming a division is also forming. In both the 82nd Airborne Division and the 101st Airborne Division in the United States,

In the midst of intense formation, the role of the airborne troops as a brand-new service in large-scale battles has become more and more obvious. In future counterattacks, the airborne troops will also play an extremely important role. If an army can be formed in India

As for the Airborne Army, then this force with weapons, equipment, training, and funding provided by the United States will inevitably be under its own control. Having an army in hand will undoubtedly make things easier. This is Stilwell's view.

Alexander was actually very helpless, because Stilwell's enthusiasm in controlling the army made Alexander very helpless. He could still make the decision to let the Chinese Expeditionary Force form a parachute regiment in the hinterland of India, which was within the tolerance of the British Empire, but Gao Fei

Alexander could not make the decision to form two paratrooper divisions. He had to ask Mountbatten for instructions. In addition, what was the name of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's establishment of two paratrooper divisions in India? Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice to Mountains and Rivers 702

Alexander and Gao Fei asked for instructions respectively, and the Hero Regiment boarded the plane in Myitkyina to conduct the first large-scale airborne landing of the Chinese army in history. Ninety percent of the officers and soldiers had no previous airborne experience or relevant experience.

training, there is no doubt that this time the airborne Chinese troops will take great risks

, this is an adventure for Gao Fei. Imphal, as his promise, cannot be lost under any circumstances. How Yamashita Fengfumi will deploy the next phase of the operation is not important to Gao Fei. After driving the dog into the alley, he must

Keep a certain distance from a mad dog. Being bitten by a mad dog is not a good thing.

In the early morning of April 27, 1942, with a ray of fish-white dawn in the sky, 2,600 carefully selected officers and soldiers of the Heroic Regiment airborne in five batches over the core position of Imphal.

Gray parachutes fell from the sky. Among the first batch of airborne personnel, Xu Guoguang, the leader of the 1st Hero Regiment, turned around and ordered Guo Weidao, the commander of the 1st Assault Company: "Give me a kick at the critical moment, remember?"

Before Xu Guoguang could finish his words, he was kicked out of the hatch with a whoosh. Li Yiqi, the operational staff officer behind him, gave Guo Wei a thumbs up and said: "That's so cool. You really have your Captain Guo. I've never seen anyone dare to kick him."

That’s the leader!”

Li Yiqi was also kicked out of the hatch, including Chief of Staff Jun Ce and others. The whereabouts of the first batch of airborne troops in the history of the Chinese army with a big footprint on their buttocks can be said to be in chaos.

The paratroopers who had not received systematic training were not shot by the Japanese ground firepower. On the one hand, the Japanese army cared about ammunition, and on the other hand, shooting at erratic individual soldiers was far less cost-effective than shooting at a transport aircraft that was forced to slow down and land.

Xu Guoguang was gloriously injured as soon as he landed. When he fell into the bunker, he knocked down two Indian lieutenant colonels and a British major general of the British and Indian troops. All four of them were injured to varying degrees. Therefore, the injured Xu Guoguang suddenly

He cursed loudly, saying that the British fortifications were simply made of tofu and shit.

This classic saying is actually spoken by Junce, the chief of staff of the Hero Regiment. As a burly airborne soldier who is over 180 centimeters tall and weighs 120 kilograms, Guan Junce's whereabouts can be regarded as a milestone.

Surrounded by dangers, it was accurately transferred into the only pond of less than 100 square meters on the highlands, like a super blockbuster bomb.

Thanks to the combined efforts of the paratroopers who had landed earlier and the officers and soldiers of the British and Indian troops, they were able to drag him out of the pond. The British officer present described the scene of more than a hundred people dragging one person as if a tank had fallen into the pond.

Guan Junce, who serves as a liaison officer and translator, and also serves as the temporary commander of the field, is also very depressed. From the first batch of paratroopers in the early morning to the fifth batch at noon, his brother was the only one who fell into the pond? It can be said that

Winning the big prize in the jackpot, it is said that not one of the airdrop supplies fell into the pond for half a month?

According to the continuity of the command structure of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, after the regiment commander was injured, the chief of staff became the infantry commander and directly commanded the troops in combat. Slim and Skunas had high hopes for the eager Chinese Expeditionary Force, because the Chinese Expeditionary Force

military

The Gloucester Battalion was regarded as the elite among the elite for its bravery and proficiency in combat. However, the Gloucester Battalion was intercepted by the Japanese army's powerful ground and air firepower during transportation. The troops suffered heavy casualties, and the troops who were lucky enough to land were unable to perform too well.

big effect.

Skunas advocated that the parachute regiment of the Chinese Expeditionary Force be put into combat immediately after being airborne, but Guan Junce insisted that all the troops be assembled before going into combat. Slim had to agree to this because the chief of staff of the Heroic Regiment of the Chinese Expeditionary Force was really

It's so tough, with cluster grenades strapped to it no matter where it goes.

In Guan Junce's own words, I can be sacrificed, but I can never be captured. Chinese soldiers join the army to fight for the freedom of the nation and the independence of the country.
