After the great victory of Ren'anqiang, the Japanese army quickly mobilized heavy troops to attack the important town of Mandalay in Myanmar. Then Myitkyina fell and Lashio was occupied. The mountains of military supplies stored in the entire Lashio Railway Station became the spoils of war for the Japanese.

The Burma Highway completely cut off the Japanese army's heavy troop group, and the entire expeditionary force was defeated like a mountain. If nothing unexpected happened, the expeditionary force would have to follow the rhythm of history. Du Yuming and Sun Liren had a falling out. The former was defeated in Savage Mountain, losing his troops and losing all his troops.

Lost. The latter crossed the Shan State Plateau and went to India to accept the overall reorganization of the US military.

The war situation was urgent. Chairman Chiang, who was far away in Chongqing, was so anxious that he could not eat or sleep well for three days in a row. At the same time, nearly 80% of the members of the U.S. Congress jointly proposed to President Roosevelt to remove Du Yuming, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and replace him with Song Yuanming.

His position. Roosevelt was also deeply helpless about Du Yuming's poor command, and was worried that he could not find a reason to propose to Baldy Jiang about his dismissal. It was a hit-off, and Roosevelt immediately prepared a very harsh diplomatic note to let Jiang Guangtou be dismissed.

Chiang Kai-shek removed Du Yuming and replaced him with Song Yuanming, otherwise all U.S. military aid to China and interest-free loans worth US$400 million would be canceled immediately.

After receiving this diplomatic note, Chiang Kai-shek slumped down in his chair. The Americans were really angry this time. Do they really want to replace Song Yuanming? He was not at ease with Song Yuanming.

.But what can he do if he doesn’t change? Is he really willing to use a lot of US military aid and loans to make this big gamble? In the end, he had to hold his nose and admit it. This made him love Song Yuanming again.

I hate the tiger general, let him go to the front line in Burma. If he wins, the Americans will be happy. If he is defeated, it is not my responsibility, Chiang Kai-shek.

In the early morning in Changsha, Song Yuanming and Song Yuanming had received orders from the Chongqing Ministry of Military Affairs and led their troops to the front line of Burma. The Hunter Army has grown to this day and has been seriously overstaffed. The first, second and third divisions led by Qinan, Anzi and Feng were completely

Recruiting personnel and equipping them with weapons according to the establishment of the reinforced division are the three trump cards in Song Yuanming's hands. In addition, there are also the special operations brigade led by Rabbit, the security brigade led by Blue Fox, the independent brigade led by Yu Jun, and a

A large number of logistics support troops such as the engineering regiment and the medical regiment. The total number of the Hunter Army has reached more than 100,000, with the fifth division and three brigades. It is impossible for such a large personnel to march quickly, and the war situation in Myanmar is also waiting for

They could not arrive in time. Therefore, the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties could only arrive in Burma in advance, hoping to use the basic strength of the expeditionary force in Burma to launch a counterattack and regain the initiative on the battlefield.

"Song, you have to be careful along the way. Myanmar is no better than China. The environment there is harsh, so you must be careful." When leaving, Karen looked at Song Yuanming with tears in her eyes. Her jade-like fingers crossed his cheek and brushed the quilt.

The scar that Song Yuanming was proud of. Liu Ling and An Qing held hands like a pair of sisters and stepped forward to hug Song Yuanming goodbye one by one.

"Look at what you said, I'm going to fight, not to die, so what's there to be afraid of?" Song Yuanming said with a smile. He still had the second half of the sentence he didn't say, which is that soldiers go into battle to kill the enemy, defend their homes and country, and die in battle.

Wrapping one's body in horse leather on the battlefield is the highest honor for a person. But facing these three girls who are like water, he really can't say such hurtful words.

"Take this. This is the amulet my mother gave me when I was a child. I hope it can keep you safe." Liu Lingzhen took out a small golden Buddha pendant from her clothes.

It was handed to Song Yuanming's hand. Song Yuanming took the golden Buddha. The golden Buddha was warm, with Liu Ling's body temperature and body fragrance, and full of affection. They said that there is a Tomb of Heroes in the Red Pink Grotto, and this is true at all.

Song Yuanming put the golden Buddha into his jacket pocket, hugged them one by one, and then walked towards the brothers beside him.

"Boss, you must be well when you arrive in Myanmar. Brothers will come as soon as possible." The tough man said tenderly. His commander was leaving. Yu Jun, a man from Eastern Sichuan, cried like a tearful man. Song Yuanming patted Yu Jun.

His face: "Big man, why are you crying? You are still the commander of the independent brigade. What should you do if your soldiers see it? Okay, let me tell you a few things. One, be careful about the people around you, the military commander.

The agents of the bureau have not yet planned to let us go, we are always a thorn in their side, and we are the Japanese's special high-tech."

"Don't worry, we will be more careful." Qinan said, stroking his tears.

"That's good, don't take it lightly." Song Yuanming nodded, "I have handed over the fortress in northern Hunan to Lan Hu and the others to garrison, and asked him to remember not to let a single Japanese in. In addition, try to keep the production as much as possible.

The weapons and ammunition that came out will support the Eighth Route Army and New Fourth Army in the area. After all, their lives are not easy."

"Don't worry, Commander. This guy Lan Hu has also made Political Commissar An become a party member. He knows it well." An Zi stepped forward and gave Song Yuanming a big bear hug. Everyone knew about these two things.

Song Yuanming was relieved: "Okay, now that the matter has been explained clearly, I will leave first." After saying that, Song Yuanming turned around and got into the truck that had been waiting for a long time.

"Boss, goodbye! Let's see you in Myanmar!" A group of figures standing as straight as javelins waved to the car going away.

Two hours later, Baoshan Airport in Yunnan was home to the U.S. Fourteenth Air Force. Since the attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. military directly ordered the Chennault Air Force stationed in China to be reorganized into the U.S. Fourteenth Air Force to assist China in its war of resistance and support Burma.

war.

Rows of P-40 fighter jets painted with shark suits were neatly parked on the tarmac, exuding a cold murderous aura. However, the pilots were leaning on the corridor of the flight dormitory building in twos and threes, basking in the sun, and making fun of each other.

Drinking, military discipline is extremely loose.

"Gather, everyone gather, get on board, we are about to welcome a distinguished guest!" (Japanese) Chennault strode up to the pilot's dormitory and shouted loudly.

"Dear guest? Boss, our honored guest is the Japanese plane. We don't care about the others." (English) A rosy-nosed American said in a drunken voice while sipping whiskey.

"Frank, watch your words. If you can't get to the airport within fifteen minutes, you can get out immediately." (English) Chennault roared again. "My god!" Frank screamed and took the lead in rushing in.

After entering their dormitory, the other pilots heard that Chennault's words did not sound like a joke, and they immediately rushed into the dormitory to change clothes. In less than three minutes, they had changed into their flight suits and arrived at the airport tarmac.

Five minutes later, a Willys Jeep entered the airport, and Song Yuanming, who had rushed from Changsha, jumped out of the car.

"Song——" Chennault was extremely excited to see his old friend here. Song Yuanming also stepped forward and gave him a big bear hug: "Chennault, long time no see." The pilots on the tarmac were quick-eyed.

They were stunned. The person who came here was so young. He was probably less than thirty years old, but the military rank with two gold stars on the collar dazzled their eyes. Lieutenant General, such a young Lieutenant General!

"Song, the planes have been prepared for you, but the expeditionary force is currently concentrated in the Hukang Valley. There is no airport for takeoff and landing there. How are we going to escort you there?" Chennault also received the order from above to escort you.

The Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties arrived safely at the front line in Burma.
