Chapter 1680 Endless harassment
"You are the farmer."
"Bamo is that donkey."
"Myanmar's independence is that carrot."
After Stilwell finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Yi with a smile.
Zhong Yi did not deny it, but laughed.
Stilwell was never stupid, he saw it very clearly.
However, Zhong Yi doesn't care about this, because at least in helping Myanmar win national independence, the positions of the Chinese and American governments are basically the same.
After all, the US government is also very clear that under the existing world system, the United States will never replace Britain as the new hegemon.
Only by breaking the old order and establishing a new order can the United States replace Britain.
Helping various colonies win national independence is the most effective means to break the old order, and it can also win a huge international reputation for the US government.
So Zhong Yi did not shy away at all and said with a smile: "But just carrots are not enough to deal with Bamo's donkey. You also need a big stick. Otherwise, even if Myanmar is independent, the Chinese will definitely not have a good life."
"I don't care about this. You can solve the Chinese problem by yourself." Stilwell shrugged and said, "I only care. Even if Bamo transfers all the people on the west bank of the river, it's probably too late to go in time, because Hu Xianqun's armored brigade officers and soldiers will have to arrive in Yangon at least a week, and the Japanese army is about to arrive."
"Is that so? Then you are wrong." Zhong Yi smiled and shook his head, "The Japanese army is not that fast."
After saying that, Zhong Yi took out a sealed telegram from his pocket and said, "This is a secret telegram sent by the Special Wars Brigade just now. It said that the Japanese army was circling the Maodang Pass and was hit by heavy rain. Not only was the speed of the march affected, but the Danah Shalin River was also destroyed due to the rising water level of the floating bridge. Therefore, the Japanese army could only circumnavigate from the jungle on the east bank of the Danah Shalin River, which delayed the arrival time of the Japanese army by at least ten days."
"Ten days?" Stilwell said in surprise, "It's really too late to say that."
"It's actually still conservative in ten days." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "The Special Wars Brigade has blown up all the floating bridges on some tributaries of the Danishalin River. In addition, the harassment along the way, I estimate that it would be good that the main force of the Japanese 25th Army could reach the east bank of the Salwin River within half a month."
Stilwell said: "I forgot that you still have a special forces."
Zhong Yi said: "The special forces are not omnipotent, nor can they take the Ishihara Kan'er head from all the troops. The only thing they can do is to blow up bridges, dig roads, and create obstacles."
"That's enough." Stilwell disagreed.
...
The Tanah Salin River originates from the Minmoleka Mountains in the Bilao Mountains, flows from north to south to the Tanah Salin and flows into the Andaman Sea. The flow direction of its river is basically parallel to the Bilao Mountains.
However, the situation is very different on the east and west sides of the Tanah Shalin River.
The west bank of the Tanah Shalin River is densely populated and has road access.
The east bank of the Tanah Shalin River is sparsely populated, mostly in jungle.
There was originally a pontoon bridge near Denaben, connecting the east and west banks of the Tanah Shalin River.
However, when the 25th Japanese Army walked to Denaben, he found that the pontoon bridge had been damaged. I don’t know if it was washed away by the skyrocketing river water or if it was blown up by the Chinese army in advance.
Moreover, due to the rapid rise in the water level of the Tanah Shalin River, the water flow is turbulent, and it is impossible to build a pontoon bridge.
It was too late to send the navy to transfer ships to the ship, and it would affect the crossing of the Salwin River. Ishihara Kanr could only order a march along the east bank of the Tanah Salin River.
This made more than 100,000 Japanese devils in the 25th Army suffer.
The hardships of the tropical rainforest are really beyond imagination.
Flying lees, flower mosquitoes as big as dragonflies, flies that suck human blood, elusive pythons and tigers and leopards, invisible swamps, and even human-eating ants.
This is not the most deadly, but the most deadly is the Chinese special forces.
Since the first day after entering the jungle, Chinese special forces have begun endless harassment, causing thousands of casualties in just three days.
As we walked, the convoy suddenly stopped moving again.
Ishihara Kaner opened the car window and asked the guards outside: "What's wrong?"
A guard paused and reported: "The commander, it seems that the bridge in front has been blown up, and the engineers are hurrying to repair the pontoon bridge."
"Baga, the bridge was blown up again?"
Ishihara Kan's face suddenly turned dark.
If it is in another place and the bridge is blown up, it is impossible to surround it from another place.
But it really doesn't work here. In the jungle, if you leave the original road and walk around the vast primitive jungle, God knows how long it will take to take.
Gu Dina Huaxiong also said, "Commander, this will not work."
This is indeed not enough. Ishihara Kaner said, "Send a brigade of engineers to walk in front and repair the pontoon bridge that was blown up by the Chinese army in advance. Oh, by the way, send another infantry brigade to protect the brigade of engineers."
"Hayi." Gu Dinahua Xiong paused his head and sent a telegram to the 8th Division.
...
Situated in the armored vehicle, Kanir Ishihara didn't know that a special combat team was lurking less than five hundred meters away from him.
This special combat team of the National Army is a group led by Takahashi Shigezuo. Oh, no, Takahashi Shigezuo is no longer called Takahashi Shigezuo, but has been renamed Qiao San.
Qiao San was hiding on a big tree, looking at the Japanese convoy five hundred meters away through the thick branches and leaves.
There were two other players lurking in the nine points on the left front of the bridge and the three points on the right front, but these two players were Chinese.
It is also to mix the Chinese and Japanese people in case of trouble.
However, Zhong Yi was actually very relieved about Takahashi Shigezo and the others.
The reason is very simple, because Takahashi Shigezu and the others can no longer go back.
The tropical jungle environment is extremely harsh, not only unfriendly to the Japanese army, but also to the special forces of the national army.
But in this moment, Qiao San had been bitten by mosquitoes a few times. In order to avoid being exposed, he did not dare to slap his hands with his hands. He could only grit his teeth and resist the piercing itch.
"Team leader, will you fight?"
A team member turned around and called Qiao San to sign language.
Qiao San replied in sign language: "Don't hurry, wait."
The one who knows the Japanese best is the Japanese. Qiao San vaguely felt that the convoy ahead was not simple, and it was probably the Japanese army's headquarters.
I just don’t know if it is the military headquarters or the division headquarters?
But both the military command and the division headquarters are excellent targets of attack.
It would be great if I could snipe a division commander or directly snipe Ishihara Kaner.
