Chapter 1738 Battle of Mandalay
Wang Geng frowned and said, "But the chief officer, there are differences between people. Although I am reluctant to look at the division commanders and commanders below, we must admit that there is a gap in talent between people. Some division commanders or commanders are born to be war materials, while some division commanders or commanders have no problem asking him to execute, but if he is responsible for commanding a battle, it is to drive the ducks on the shelves, and it may be a big mistake."
"I admit what you said." Zhong Yi nodded and said, "There are indeed differences between people. Some people's tactical thinking is outstanding, while some people's thinking is relatively rigorous or old-fashioned. There are indeed differences, but this is actually not a big problem."
Wang Geng talked about the gap, so Zhong Yi changed it to the difference.
Although it is only a word difference, the meaning is completely different.
Speaking of this, Zhong Yi said again: "Brother Shouqing, do you know what is the biggest difference between joint combat between multiple armies and traditional combat?"
Wang Geng shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Zhong Yi said in a deep voice: "The biggest difference between multi-army joint combat and traditional combat is that traditional combat only has one brain and one pair of eyes. Multi-army joint combat also has one brain, but there are countless pairs of eyes! When there are only one pair of eyes, since you can't see too much, you can test the judgment of a larger brain."
"But when we have countless pairs of eyes, when the entire battlefield is in full force, even the enemy's every move is under our noses, the requirements for the judgment of the brain are very low! So at this time, any officer who has received a regular military academy education can make the right decision."
"To put it simply, the biggest advantage of joint combat between multiple armies is actually the collection of battlefield information! Each regiment, each battalion, and even each infantry company is an information collection point! Through these information collection points, the entire battlefield situation is reflected the most intuitively, so that the command can be flattened."
"It shouldn't be difficult to fight such a war, right?"
Wang Geng said in a disloyal voice: "How many radio stations should be equipped like that?"
"The radio station must be equipped at least to the battalion level," Zhong Yi said. "In addition to the radio stations that can communicate remotely, there must be walkie-phones that communicate in a range of five or even fifteen kilometers. Each platoon must be equipped with such a walkie-phone to ensure that each platoon can directly contact the division headquarters, and each battalion can also directly communicate with the chief department!"
Now, Wang Geng finally understood it, it seemed quite good.
However, it is unknown whether it works in actual combat.
...
Impal, India.
At Stilwell's feet, the airport's runway is slowly taking shape.
Stilwell was basically satisfied with the progress of the entire airport.
At the beginning, Stilwell only hired a group of local Indian workers, but the efficiency of these Indians was so low that they had no choice but to ask for help from China and recruited a group of workers from China. After these Chinese workers arrived in Impal, the airport project was advanced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
According to the current progress, Impal Airport should be able to be completed half a month ahead of schedule.
This means that the air force in the Myanmar War Theater can participate in the war half a month in advance.
But don’t underestimate this half month, this half month may determine the outcome!
"General Stilwell, the telegram from the Chief of the Myanmar War Zone." The secretary came over and handed over a telegram.
Stilwell received the telegram from the dark-skinned Indian female secretary. When he saw that it was sent by Zhong Yi, he asked him to add 500 high-power radio stations and 5,000 walkie-phones in the latest batch of materials to the latest list of materials!
Stilwell never asked Zhong Yi's request and directly ordered the female secretary: "Do as it is now!"
"Yes." The female secretary agreed and asked in a low voice, "Tonight, the Governor General Inpaul will hold a dance party, and the invitation has been sent to your office. Do you want to prepare evening dresses for you?"
"Oh, the dance party?" Stilwell's face immediately turned dark and he said angrily, "These damn British guys are about to be slaves of the country. They are still in the mood to hold a dance party. It's really unreasonable!"
After a pause, Stilwell said again: "Don't prepare evening gifts for me, don't go."
"Okay, General." The female secretary was startled and turned around and left in a hurry.
Watching the female secretary disappear from her sight, Stilwell walked to the temporary office at the airport, took out a diary from her bag and started to keep a diary: these damn British guys...
...
In Yangon, the head of the Myanmar War Zone.
After sending a telegram to Stilwell, Zhong Yi ordered the chief's headquarters to evacuate Yangon.
Before dawn, before dawn, the Japanese bombers were unable to dispatch, and Zhong Yi was the last to board the train from Yangon to Mandalay.
At this time, the entire Yangon City was still immersed in his sleep and did not wake up.
Wang Geng and the combat staff of the Chief Office were not Burmese, so they had no feelings at all, but Zhong Yi felt a little bit because he was Burmese.
In my heart, I would come back again, then turned my head and said to Wang Geng: "Let's go."
The order was quickly conveyed, and the train parked at the platform began to slowly start and leave Yangon.
Wang Geng spread the map that the General Staff had just drawn in front of Zhong Yi, then pointed to the map and said, "Please look at the head of the board. This is about the defensive deployment of the Battle of Mandalay."
"The Battle of Mandalay is mainly divided into three directions."
"The left battlefield is on Magui and Ren'an-Kang, and the four divisions of the former 30th Army are responsible for it."
"The battlefield on the right is on the Lugu, and the four divisions of the former 22nd Army are under the responsibility of the line of Taungchi."
"The middle battlefield is on the front lines of Binmana, Mitella and Mandela. There are three methods in total, with the seven divisions of the former 23rd Army being responsible for it, and the artillery brigade is on the middle battlefield."
Zhong Yi nodded gently. This defensive deployment can be said to be in a proper way, with no mistakes, but there is nothing outstanding about it. It is better than the word "stable".
However, at this critical moment, stability is the first priority!
Because the first batch of US aid equipment has been shipped, the 500,000 Sichuan soldiers are about to be trained, and the strength of the Myanmar war zone will soon usher in a rapid growth, so there is no need to take risks at this time, just be stable!
Zhong Yi said again: "Except for the former 27th Army, how many troops are left in the remaining three army?"
"There are almost 40,000 people." Wang Geng said, "The number of people is a little less, but they are all veterans. They are very strong in terms of military literacy and fighting will."
