The Japanese army was unexpectedly surprised by Li Shi's surprise attack on Guangzhou City. The Japanese mixed brigade in Guangzhou City was finally defeated under the strong oppression of Li Shi's Independent Division. He looked south to find the Japanese naval protection. The planes and tanks in the sky made the Japanese army frightened and thought that how many Chinese troops had come to surround them.

The news that Li Shi took over Guangzhou City quickly came to the ears of the Chinese people. The inspiring news was heard on the streets of many cities across the country, and the voices of children selling newspapers were heard incessantly.

318 Army returns strongly, Guangzhou is restored

The Japanese army is like a dog with a broken family, and it is a great victory

The 318th Army's counterattack began Guangzhou as their first stop

People on the street were constantly talking about this matter. At this moment, Guangzhou City was busy and busy. In order to prevent the Japanese army from retaliating, Li Shi began to continuously build fortifications. Li Shi began to guard Guangzhou City as required by Wang Mingyu.

The Japanese army did not expect that the 318th Army, which had been attracting but not sending in the southwest, would be so quick that it would take down the Guangzhou City they had worked hard to capture. However, the Japanese army blocked the coastline in Guangdong at this moment and were not afraid of the Chinese people coming up with anything. Now the Japanese army is making an important preparation, and there is no time to worry about the actions here.

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese Navy and Air Force suddenly attacked Pearl Harbor, and the US Pacific Fleet suffered heavy losses. On the 8th, the United States and Britain declared war on Japan. On the 11th, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States, and the Pacific War broke out.

This sudden change made the whole of China in a boiling state, as if the War of Resistance Against Japan had already won the victory. In fact, the Japanese army's appetite is getting bigger and bigger at this moment. They are now in a crazy state

Then the Japanese army began to attack Southeast Asia and quickly captured Singapore and other countries in the Southeast region as early as January 1941. At that time, the Japanese army had bombed the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and China's material transportation was once tense. However, the National Government at that time did not expect that the Japanese army would dare to fight the United States and Britain.

Chongqing Command

Commissioner: The Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor and the US-Japan war started. This is a huge good news for us. The moment He Yingqin received the news, he rushed over and talked to Chairman Jiang.

Yes, the war between the United States and Japan begins. I think we can at least relieve some pressure on the battlefield in China, Chairman Jiang nodded slightly. Obviously, the war between the United States and Japan begins, which is what he is eager to see.

It seems that our victory is just around the corner. Such exciting news can make our war of resistance smoothly. I see if the commissioner is in a manifesto and inspire all the soldiers of the army to put forward his own suggestions.

Alas, Jingzhi, there are actually many things that turn good things into bad things. Don’t look at the war between the Japanese and the US military, it seems like we have taken a big advantage. In fact, since the war between China and Japan, the Japanese navy has basically not done anything. The Japanese army has always been a hint of worry hidden in the eyes of Chairman Chiang.

He Yingqin wiped his sweat and said: Committee, what you mean is that the war between the United States and Japan is going to begin. It seems to be beneficial to us. In fact, there is no substantial change.

Respect, think about it, why did Japan dare to fight with the United States and fight against Germany, and it became a thorn in the eyes of the Germans. Japan and Germany are a prosperous relationship. No matter what considerations are made at this time, the Japanese army actually needs to slash the American spirit. The conflict between the United States and Japan itself is not a day or two. Chairman Jiang said

Then how should we deal with it now? It is an opportunity. Finally, there is a chance to see the dawn. I think the remarks of the committee members cannot be spread. This will damage the morale of the party members. He Yingqin said worriedly.

Well, I don't understand what you said, no matter what, we and the Japanese army are already in a state of dying. After the United States participates, there are only benefits and no harm to us. I think the Americans will definitely form an allied army with us. We can take the opportunity Chairman Jiang smiled. The US military is indeed only beneficial to the National Government.

Chairman Jiang and He Yingqin smiled. As long as the control is properly done, this matter will be a good news for them.

At this time, Bai Chongxi and others came in again. As soon as Bai Chongxi came in, he said: "Commission, the war between the United States and Japan has advantages and disadvantages for us. I think we need to come up with a way to solve the possible dangerous situation as soon as possible."

Chairman Chiang was shocked when he heard this, and there were some disadvantages. Chairman Chiang signaled Bai Chongxi to continue saying that Bai Chongxi said: The US and Japan start war, so the Japanese army will have no concerns about the British army. It is imperative that the Yunnan-Burma Highway is the main supply line of the civil government of our country.

Oh, you mean that the Japanese army may block our last traffic supply line Chairman Jiang frowned. If this is true, they would have fallen into a very passive situation.

Bai Chongxi said confidently: The Japanese army has always wanted to block our supply line. There was a fact that the Japanese army bombed the Yunnan-Burma Highway before. The Japanese army was ambition. We have to guard against me that the Japanese army is likely to capture Myanmar, and we will be passive at that time.

Chairman Jiang smiled and said: Myanmar is the British defense zone. Even if the British army has difficulties, we can still support it. I don’t think it’s necessary to exaggerate the Japanese army so much. The British are not easy to bully.

Bai Chongxi stopped talking, and he said so much. Let's look at the decision of the Commissioner. Although the British have some strength, compared with the Japanese army, their strength can only be considered average. If the Japanese army is in a big way at that time, the British are thinking about how to escape.

However, Bai Chongxi also knew that Chairman Chiang had always had great fantasies about the United States and Britain. This time, the Japanese army provoked the interests of the British army. I think the British army could not think about everything. But if everything happened, Bai Chongxi felt that the British would never be so honest. After all, if the Yunnan-Burma Highway was destroyed, the most anxious thing was not the British at all.

In early 1942, after Japan occupied Malaya, it began to invade Myanmar. On January 30, the Japanese army captured the important town in eastern Myanmar and then continued to advance in two directions. On March 8, the Japanese army occupied the capital of Myanmar Yangon from March to April, the Japanese army attacked the important town of Mandalay, attempting to cut off the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

With the help of the British, Chairman Jiang also began to actively think about how to deal with the current crisis. The Expeditionary Force's idea was formed in Chairman Jiang's mind. Chairman Jiang looked at the military deployment on the map, and his heart was very complicated. The Expeditionary Force must be dispatched. Bai Chongxi's previous statement has basically become reality.

The British are no longer able to support such a war. Now they are seeking help from the National Government. In fact, the reason why Chairman Chiang sent troops to Myanmar is because the importance of the Yunnan-Burma Highway is self-evident. They cannot lose this last line of transportation and supply.

The Chongqing Command's order was quickly distributed, but this time it was completely different from the historical expeditionary forces.

A commissioner's telegram was handed to Lieutenant General Du Yuming with the telegram in his hand.

Oh Du Yuming took the telegram and looked at it, and said with a smile: It was indeed not what I expected

Then Du Yuming said: Immediately notify the entire army to be on guard and order the 38th Division of the 200th Division of Dai Anlan to prepare to go to Yunnan to meet with the 318th Army.

Chairman Jiang's order was to let Du Yuming lead the two divisions of the Fifth Army under the command of Wang Mingyu, commander-in-chief of the 318th Army, help the British defend Myanmar and protect China's last transportation supply line, Yunnan-Burma Highway.

In fact, when Du Yuming visited Southeast Asia in 1941, he said that Japan's international transportation route, the Yunnan-Burma Highway, would not be cut off from China, but to cooperate with its overall planning of Asia's political strategy.

The Japanese invasion of Vietnam and established a friendly treaty with Thailand show that it is about to march towards the British Far East colony, which can not only capture the British colony, but also block China, and kill two birds with one stone.

It can be seen that Du Yuming could see the Japanese army's attempts clearly. At this time, Du Yuming was naturally not so surprised when he saw Chairman Jiang's telegram. And this time he actually went with the legendary 318 Army, which made Du Yuming feel confident.

The commander of the 200th Division, Dai Anlan, Sun Liren, commander of the 38th Division, is the two subordinates Du Yuming admires the most.

Originally, in Chairman Chiang's plan, Du Yuming should be the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. In the unfavorable situation, Chairman Chiang originally planned to mobilize the forces of three armies to resolve the China-Myanmar crisis so that the transportation supply line will not be damaged. However, the current situation made Chairman Chiang very happy.

Although the 318th Army has basically not taken any action in the past two years, Chairman Jiang felt that they had done a great job. He didn't expect that when he was in trouble, they actually appeared in the position he should have appeared. Isn't this so excited Chairman Jiang.

It seems that the 318th Army can always appear in the most critical position. Usually, since the Battle of Songhu, although the 318th Army has never followed any orders, they can always appear in the most critical position. Chairman Jiang sometimes has to sigh, Wang Mingyu's ability to see the initiative.

In fact, Wang Mingyu has also experienced several large-scale battles based on his understanding and understanding of history. Wang Mingyu is also constantly maturing. From the beginning of the regiment commander to the current commander-in-chief of the army, Wang Mingyu has also been constantly transforming and baptizing along the way. Now he is moving towards the position that a senior general should have.

Dai Anlan and Sun Liren appeared in Du Yuming's office. Both of them were wearing uniforms and straight waists.

This time I went to the southwest region, Du Yuming's mission was actually to cooperate in combat. To put it bluntly, I was following people to do short-term work. Originally, Du Yuming had a conversation with the principal before. At that time, the principal asked him to carry the burden, but now it seems unlikely that it is possible.

Report, Commander Dai and Commander Sun immediately saluted Du Yuming after asking for the orderly soldiers to come in and said that they would come in Du Yuming looked at the marching route map without raising his head.

The two generals, Dai Anlan and Sun Liren, asked Du Yuming, and then the two of them stood aside after celebrating.

Do you know what to ask you two to come here this time

Please show your position

The Japanese army invaded Myanmar, intending to destroy the Yunnan-Burma Highway and cut off the overseas transportation supply line of China, the principal was very angry when he heard this. He was asked by the British side. The principal ordered us to form a Chinese expeditionary force and march towards Myanmar, and formed a joint force with the British army in Myanmar to fight against the Japanese army Du Yuming said seriously.

Yes, when will we set off on the side of the military officer Sun Liren ask

Haha, don't worry, although this time, although the Chinese Expeditionary Force was formed, I promoted the power of the people, this time it was not led by me. The expression on Du Yuming's face was a little unnatural. What was certain on the contrary actually changed.

Isn't it because we are the main force? I'm going to mobilize troops from the Central Army. My 200th Division. Although the training has not been kept up, I believe that as long as I give me three months, I will definitely turn them into a screaming force. Dai Anlan said anxiously.

An Lan, don’t be so excited about your emotions. This time it was the order issued by the principal himself. We must focus on the 318th Army. All our actions must obey the request of General Wang Mingyu. I hope you two can show me a good performance at that time. Don’t lose the face of my Fifth Army. Du Yuming’s words were both soft and hard. Dai Anlan also frowned when he heard this.

Sun Liren said dissatisfiedly: Military Commander, I heard that the 318th Army is good at fighting, and is quite powerful to the Japanese. It is said that it is magical. I think these things are a bit exaggerated. I think my 38th Division will definitely not be worse than his troops.

OK OK OK, don't be so impulsive, let's not be so impulsive. Everything about us is just for the sake of the Party and the country. Have you forgotten the principal's motto? Now you will go back to your own troops and let them prepare well. At this time tomorrow, be sure to move your position to this and these two positions and then we set out to join the 318th Army. I have just been on the phone with the senior management of the 318th Army. We can join them at any time and then advance from the Yunnan border to the Yunnan-Burma region.

Yes, after receiving the order, the military captain Sun Liren and Dai Anlan quickly organized their troops to drive. They had received the order that Du Yuming was ready to drive at any time, so they could drive directly without any preparation.

Du Yuming and others were not far away from Wang Mingyu's station. In fact, it was only 400 kilometers away. The mountain road was steep, so it was difficult to walk.

For Wang Mingyu, Du Yuming has been in harmony for a long time. At this time, Du Yuming carefully selected Dai Anlan's 200th Division and Sun Liren's 38th Division quietly set out to meet with the 318th Army in Yunnan.

318 Army Headquarters

Chief Executive Officer, Chairman Jiang rushed to Wang Mingyu's command room quickly and handed Chairman Jiang's telegram to Wang Mingyu.

Wang Mingyu smiled and said: It seems that the battle is finally about to begin.

After saying that Wang Mingyu glanced at the content of the telegram, his heart was filled with surprise. Wang Mingyu finally knew that history was finally about to undergo a huge change at this moment.

: I'm a little slow today. I'm sorry, everyone, please forgive me for your relaxation and a little busy work.
