Chapter 1686 Begin to Cross the River
Yangon, the head of the Myanmar War Zone.
The bombing of Yangon City by the Japanese Air Force has just ended.
The war room was filled with smoke and dust, especially the rooftops were sometimes dusty and falling down. Several beams were shaking, as if they could fall down at any time.
Mr. Zhang frowned and said, "Master, this place is too dangerous."
"It's okay." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "This building is very solid and cannot collapse."
Zhang Shiliang had no choice but to find a few guards to find a way to reinforce the roof.
Zhong Yi ignored these things and focused his eyes on the sand table. On the other side of the sand table, Chief of Staff Wang Geng was working on the sand table with several combat staff.
One by one, the war chess models were presented on the sand table one by one through Wang Geng and several combat staff.
At the sand table, Zhong Yi nodded and said, "Ten days, Ishihara Kanir's main force walked from Bangkok to Maolami. Sure enough, it took ten days to go, which was similar to what we expected."
Wang Geng said: "It's a pity that the special combat brigade's non-combat reduction is too serious, otherwise they can be delayed for at least two more days."
"The Special Forces Brigade has done a good job." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "After all, our special forces are by no means heavenly soldiers and generals. They are as fragile in the jungle. You can't expect them to become like snakes, insects and beasts in the jungle and have the ability to survive against the sky. It's not easy for them."
"I know." Wang Geng nodded and said, "It's just a little regretful."
While speaking, a communications consultant hurried in and handed a telegram to Wang Geng.
After reading it, Wang Geng immediately said to Zhong Yi: "Master, the Japanese army has begun to cross the river."
"Have you started crossing the river?" Zhong Yi nodded and said again, "The opposite of Maudanmian is the city of Maudan City, and which unit is guarding Maudan City?"
"The 7th Division of the 23rd Army."
"The newly formed 7th Division, Tian Zhongyi's troops? Who is acting as the commander of the division now?"
As mentioned above, after the 22nd, 23rd, 27th and 30th Army were seconded to the Myanmar War Zone, eight commanders and seventeen division commanders were all promoted, either to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the army or to be the chief of staff of the army. The seventeen division commanders positions were all taken over by cadets from the 5th session of the Army University Special Class.
Zhong Yi did not remember these things because he had too many things, but Wang Geng, as the chief of staff, knew everything about it.
Wang Geng replied without hesitation: "The person who acted as the commander of the newly-edition 7th Division was Gao Xianwen. When he was studying at Lu University, this kid's grades in all subjects were excellent."
"Gao Xianwen?" Zhong Yi asked again, "How did he deploy his defense in the motor class?"
Just as Wang Geng was about to answer, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps came from outside the combat room. Then a figure walked in. When he turned around and looked back, it was Fang Jianwei, the Director of Intelligence.
"Director Fang?" Wang Geng said in surprise.
Fang Jianwei nodded slightly at Wang Geng, then turned around and said to Zhong Yi: "The team has been found out!"
"What's going on?" Zhong Yi's face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "Why did the Japanese Air Force bombing this time accurately find my war zone chief's headquarters like a sudden eye?"
Fang Jianwei said: "A Myanmar student secretly made signs near the chief's office."
"Myanmar students?" Wang Geng said in surprise, "How can Myanmar students help the Japanese?"
Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "Have you caught these Myanmar students?"
Fang Jianwei said: "I caught a living one."
"Try to find a way to pry open his mouth." A cold light flashed in Zhong Yi's eyes, and he said, "Find out the person behind him, but don't make any statements to the outside world."
"I understand!" Fang Jianwei immediately understood Zhong Yi's intention, "I will pry his mouth open. As long as I enter the gate of our intelligence department, no one can survive three days!"
"Go." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said.
Fang Jianwei immediately turned around and left.
Watching Fang Jianwei's figure go away, Wang Geng said: "How can these Myanmar students repay their kindness with grudges?"
"Will kindness repay evil?" Zhong Yi said, "They don't think so. Because of the British, these Burmese students think that we are the British lackeys, and the Japanese are their friends and saviors."
"Friends and saviors?" Wang Geng said in surprise, "How stupid should he think so?"
"But this is not important to us." Zhong Yi said coldly, "A few students cannot affect the overall situation. The reason why I attract but do not send me is just to catch them all at critical moments."
Wang Geng immediately stopped talking because this already belongs to the category of politics.
But as a soldier, Wang Geng really has no interest in politics at all.
Zhong Yi continued to ask: "Brother Shouqing, then talk about the defensive deployment of the new 7th Division."
"Oh, OK." Wang Geng nodded, and just as he was about to continue the explanation, Zhang Shiliang hurried in again.
"General!" Zhang Shiliang said excitedly, "Captain Hu of the 1st Armored Regiment of the 200th Division has arrived!"
"Have Hu Qunqun finally arrived?" Zhong Yi suddenly felt refreshed and said, "Hurry up and invite him in!"
Wang Geng said excitedly: "I thought Hu Xianqun could not catch up, but it was still there in the end!"
After a while, Zhang Shiliang led Hu Xianqun in military uniform to walk in quickly. Since he had just come from China and it was winter in China, Hu Xianqun was still wearing the generals and sweating profusely.
Zhong Yi immediately said, "Adminton Zhang, find a summer outfit for Captain Hu!"
Hu Xianqun did not refuse because he felt very uncomfortable wearing this outfit.
Zhang Shiliang quickly found a summer outfit and took Hu Xianqun to the lounge to change into military uniforms.
Hu Xianqun came to the war room again, and then officially called for a report to Zhong Yi and Wang Geng: "Report to Chief Zhong, Chief of Staff Wang, and the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 200th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, Hu Xianqun, led the entire regiment to report 4,216 people, and actually arrived 4,209 people. Please give me instructions!"
"After a moment!" Zhong Yi returned to the army salute.
Hu Xianqun's legs were slid down for a moment.
Zhong Yi asked, "Captain Hu, thank you for your hard work along the way."
"It's not hard," Hu Xianqun said, "It's all for fighting the Japanese."
"It's right." Zhong Yi said, "It's all for fighting the Japanese. I won't say much about the extra words. From now on, you will no longer be the commander of the 1st Regiment of the 200th Division's chariot, but the major general brigade commander of the 1st Armored Brigade of the Myanmar War Zone! The equipment assigned to you the 1st Armored Brigade is parked at the Yangon Station, and you can go and see it now."
