Unfortunately, Chang Kaishen didn't believe it at the time and missed the opportunity to save it in vain.

At this moment, Chang Kaishen really regretted his intestines and regretted not listening to Liu Fei's words.

However, it was not too late to repair the problem of the sheep, so Chang Kaishen regarded Liu Fei as the straw for the drowning man.

"Yizhang, I regret not listening to your words. If I listen to you, why would I feel the many embarrassment today?" Chang Kaishen sighed and said, "What should I do for the current plan?"

Liu Fei said: "The council is the only two things that matter most."

"First, the people of Yin are really unreliable, so they must not send expedition troops to Myanmar."

Seeing Chang Kaishen's face faded, Liu Fei could only change his words: "Even if he had to send an expeditionary force to Myanmar, defend the Lashio in northern Myanmar and the Myitkyina line. Don't listen to the foolings of the Yin people and transfer the troops to the Mandalay in Myanmar. That is to act as cannon fodder for the Yin people, and our army must suffer."

"Second, the Indian-Myanmar Highway was repaired and connected to the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway."

"But the second one needs the first as the basis. Only by guarding northern Myanmar can we build the Printing and Burmese road, and our country can maintain the only transportation line to receive external materials."

While speaking, Tang Zong hurried in.

"The principal, Stilwell and General Alexander sent a joint telegram."

"Give it to me." Chang Kaishen received the telegram, and his face collapsed again after reading it.

"Commission." Liu Fei asked nervously, "Did Stilwell and Alexander ask our expeditionary force to go south?"

"Yes." Chang Kaishen nodded and said, "Stilwell and Alexander asked our expeditionary army to quickly advance to the Mandalay line in central Myanmar to protect the security of the Yin Army's flanks, so as to facilitate the long-term persistence of the Allies."

"I've been persistent for a long time? I believe they are a ghost." Liu Fei said, "I can't go south."

Speaking of this, he said: "All signs show that the Yin Army has no intention of defending Myanmar. The reason why they asked our expeditionary army to go south to Mandalay was simply to use our army as cannon fodder and hold the Japanese army to cover them to escape!"

"Hey, it's wrong for you to say this for Zhang." Chang Kaishen frowned, "We cannot judge the king's belly by the heart of a villain. The Piaoyin Allied forces will never be so far. General Stilwell and General Alexander will not plot against friendly countries in this way. I still believe them, and believe they really want to defend Myanmar and the Allied positions."

Liu Fei looked at Chang Kaishen in surprise. He still believed in Yin people?

However, Chang Kaishen stopped looking at Liu Fei and instead said to Tang Zong: "Immediately send a telegram to the Expeditionary Force in the name of the attendant's room, ordering them to go out of Mandalay, and be sure to ensure the safety of the Allied Flanks."

"Yes." Tang Zong replied with a respectful voice.

...

A few days later, in Yunqi Town, Sanduotang.

Fang Ligong walked into the war room with a stern face.

Chu Yunfei immediately turned around and asked, "Brother Li Gong, how is the situation?"

"The situation is not optimistic," Fang Ligong said with a dark face, "The people of Yin did not intend to stick to Myanmar at all. After our expeditionary force advanced to Mandalay to Ren'anqiang, Alexander immediately took the main force of the Yin army to retreat quickly to India, causing our flanks to be completely exposed to the guns of the Japanese army!"

"Hateful!" Chu Yunfei was so angry that his face muscles twitched violently.

After a while, Chu Yunfei asked again: "What about next?"

Fang Ligong sighed lightly and said, "The Expeditionary Force was defeated. Some of them returned to China through the Wild Man Mountain, while the other part followed Stilwell to Impal, India. Myanmar has fallen."

"How could this happen?" Chu Yunfei fell back into the chair in depressed manner.

To be honest, this Southeast Asia battle, especially the Battle of Myanmar, has a great blow to Chu Yunfei, and it is even more severe than the defeat of his own troops.

Because Chu Yunfei's own troops were defeated, they were inferior to others, and it was understandable that they were defeated.

However, this time the Allied forces, especially the floating army, suffered a crushing defeat on the Southeast Asian battlefield, did not coexist with the situation where the strength was inferior to that of others. In fact, the Allied forces in Southeast Asia were far better than the Japanese army, at least their strength on paper was far better than that of the Japanese army. However, the final result was the Allied forces defeat and the Japanese army won a complete victory.

This has a huge blow to Chu Yunfei.

Because such failure will lead to the collapse of faith.

Once faith collapses, it will lose confidence in the country and nation.

In fact, Chu Yunfei is similar to many senior generals of the National Army. He is a weapon-only ideologist and believes that as long as he has excellent weapons and equipment, the human factor is not a decisive factor.

After a while, Chu Yunfei looked up and asked Fang Ligong: "Brother Ligong, where do you think the problem is? Why did the Piaoliang Army and Yin Army lose so badly in Southeast Asia? I thought that our national army had performed poorly in the Battle of Shanghai and the Nanjing battlefield and Taiyuan battlefield, but compared with the Yin Army and the Piaoliang Army's performance on the battlefield of Southeast Asia, we were humming, our national army immediately became an elite army again. What do you mean?"

Fang Ligong said solemnly: "This only shows that our national army was originally an elite army. The reason why our national army performed poorly in the Songhu battlefield, Nanjing battlefield and Taiyuan battlefield was just because we encountered a more fierce enemy. If it were enemies such as Yin Army and Piao Army, the result would probably be completely different."

"Is this really the case?" Chu Yunfei was confused when he heard this.

If this is the case, weapons are not the decisive factor.

Fang Ligong suddenly sighed again: "If I had known this would be the case, I would not have launched an attack on the Japanese army in Anhua in the first month of the end of last year, especially so many shells should not have been consumed in vain."

Hearing Fang Ligong's words, Chu Yunfei's face turned gloomy again.

At the end of last year, in order to cooperate with the war in Southeast Asia, the 11th Japanese Army launched the third Battle of Changsha.

In order to support the Allies in Southeast Asia and to alleviate the pressure on the Ninth War Zone, the National Government ordered the national troops on various battlefields to launch a counterattack.

Most national troops on the battlefield did not take this order seriously.

Only Chu Yunfei and Liang Gang in northwest Shanxi resolutely executed the order. After receiving the order, Chu Yunfei immediately led the independent brigade of the Shanxi-Suizhou Army to attack Anhua, and Liang Gang led the 94th Independent brigade of the Central Army to launch an offensive battle against Gan County. It happened that the three regiments of the Eighth Route Army were also engaged in blockade operations. For a time, the Japanese army in northwest Shanxi was beaten to the point of panic. Yoshio Iwamatsu quickly transferred the 37th Division from the southern Shanxi region to reinforce.

Because he firmly believed that the Allies would win local victories on the Southeast Asian battlefield, the lifeline of the Yunnan-Burma Highway would be unobstructed, and that Chang Kaishen and Chief Yan would not interfere with their logistics, Chu Yunfei fought very broadly, especially the two mountain artillery battalions almost wiped out all their reserve assets.

As a result, the third Changsha Battle was barely won.

However, the Allies were defeated in the Southeast Asian battlefield.

Moreover, Myanmar also fell, and the Yunnan-Burma Highway was cut off by the Japanese army.

Now it was a big trouble. Chang Kaishen and Chief Yan were no longer able to replenish ammunition for Chu Yunfei's troops. Not to mention shells, they could not even replenish bullets.

Chu Yunfei asked: "Brother Li Gong, how much ammunition is left?"
