Why do we run away if we are just a few Siam people?

Chiang Ching-kuo failed to understand what Qin Wei said for a moment, but North Vietnam has the Red River defense line and Laos has the New Army of Sun Liren. He was not worried that the Siam attack would cut off China's retreat... The Japanese are not capable, and these people are defeated by the Japanese. Can it work? But after all, they are still young people. Although they are not much younger than Qin Wei, they have become an important official, but Chiang Ching-kuo still couldn't accept it for deliberately losing "his own territory". Because like many people in China, he now hopes to make the Indochina Peninsula that has been occupied now.

The areas of the original "French Indochina" were all incorporated into China. This idea is just that it is a bit unrealistic for the time being, so everyone is still holding it back. However, not including these territories in China for the time being does not mean that they are willing to throw them away... When the Qin Guard ordered the New First Army to withdraw from Cambodia and the 5th Army to withdraw from South Vietnam, it caused a big dispute in China. Although many newspapers said that the government was doing this, Chiang Ching-kuo knew that many people were still unhappy because of the loss of "gaining and losing again".

But now, not only did Qin Wei not take the initiative to "recover" those two regions, but he actually planned to give them to the Siamites... Chiang Ching-kuo really doesn't understand. If you are a Japanese, everyone can at least accept it. After all, although it is a life-and-death enemy, everyone still admits it in terms of strength. The Japanese are quite fierce. Look, it is understandable that we can give them to the British and Americans, but we can give them to the Siamites... China is not that inferior, right?

However, Chiang Ching-kuo was Chiang Ching-kuo after all. After staying in the Soviet Union for more than ten years, he could hold back his emotions. The Soviets asked him to write articles and scold him, and he wrote them very happily, and he was the one who could not understand the most. Although he did not understand Qin Wei's intention this time, he still resisted not asking. He faithfully conveyed Qin Wei's order to various troops.

After this, Zhang Lingfu rushed to the front line of the Relem where the US military was almost as fast as possible. This powerful general was also despicable! He obviously went near Ren'anqiang, and he only needed to send a partial division to rescue the British army that was blocked by the Japanese airborne troops, but he just refused... Ignoring the British and Japanese armies, he rushed over and made the British commander Alexander furious, but he had no choice. Because Zhang Lingfu was commanded by the Pan-Western Pacific Theater Command, he did not receive the task of rescuing the British army. On the contrary, during this period, Alexander also received an order from Chiang Kai-shek, requiring him to immediately reorganize the army, block the Japanese army's large forces chasing in the rear, and "counterattack". Anyway, he could not retreat any longer.

But how could Alexander take Chiang Kai-shek seriously? Not to mention Chiang Kai-shek, even Churchill appears and gives orders to him now. He will not do it... They Westerners do not pay attention to the glory of death in battle. They would rather die than surrender. If they can't beat them, they will run away. This is the iron law of the battlefield they followed. Although they were defeated and their unauthorized retreat caused the US military to fall into trouble, what's the matter? If the Americans are notified, can they still run away? A group of airborne soldiers can block him.

If we have another three and five divisions by the river, will we let the 100,000 British and Burmese troops repeat what happened in Malaya? So, he didn't think he was wrong. As long as he could escape with these British people, he would still be a hero, on the contrary, he would only be a bear... because the British would only remember that he "rescued" such young British men, but not how he fled in a panic by the Japanese and how he "threw away" his allies.

However, the problem now is that he had blocked the front and pursued the back, which was not easy to run. Moreover, his situation was further in a worse situation: Masazo, who was personally leading his troops to besiege Patton, also noticed him. Because of his abundant troops, he had sent a brigade troops to move westward, as if he wanted to support the Japanese airborne troops of Ren'anqiang, and also as if he wanted to cooperate with other Japanese troops to drive them into the Indian Ocean. Alexander knew very well that once the Japanese army of this brigade arrived by his side, he might be even more difficult to escape... So, in his toughest tone, he issued an order to Zhang Lingfu again, asking the 58th Division to block the Japanese brigade from the east.

However, the 58th Division and the Japanese brigade passed by so much. It is said that the distance between the two troops was only one kilometer when the smallest distance was, and soldiers with good eyes could even see the appearance of the enemy on the other side. However, at this distance, both sides actually maintained great restraint and no one paid attention to each other.

Upon learning of this situation, Alexander finally gave up the idea of ​​escaping along the railway and led his troops to detour from the west and flee on foot. In order to meet them, Weiville, who was far away in India, was also stepping up the construction of the highway from India to Myanmar.

...

"The British escaped faster than the Japanese pursued them, so, purely in terms of physical strength and escape methods, they still surpassed the Japanese. They won this battle!"

Zhang Lingfu seemed to be just a simple general on the battlefield, but with the highest education in the two major teaching systems of Chinese civil and military, he would definitely be cruel enough to harm others. He was not weaker than anyone else when he was scheming... Qin Wei just gave him the chance to get a divorcing relationship between Patton and Alexander. As a result, he started to carry out this task as soon as he saw Patton.

"I know their 'ability' very well! But what about us, General Zhang?"

At this time, Patton no longer had the energy of the moment he had just arrived. There were no cannons, no tanks, and not enough aircraft... Then he found that he often used his courage to win the Japanese, because the other party was much more powerful than him. If it weren't for that breath, if it weren't for him, he knew that the loss would be greater if he had escaped. If it weren't for him, the Americans would really not be able to withstand the second defeat now, if it weren't for him, he would have admitted defeat and led his troops to escape like Alexander. After all, he was not a simple general. His "force" and his courage to attack were actually more important to reduce casualties in the troops. In the original history, the Third Army led by him was the unit with the lowest casualties in the entire US army.

"We may win or lose. My commander told me that I must stick here until reinforcements arrive." Zhang Lingfu saw Patton for the first time, and had never heard of such a person before. Before that, he looked down on the US military... Even if MacArthur later led his troops to defeat Tadao Yoshi Sano near Hong Kong, he still looked down on the US military. In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Americans is still too poor, lacking the kind of life and death.

The courage to fight is too high to rely on weapons and equipment. Therefore, he could not adapt to the fighting style of the Japanese who did not fire a cannon before the war, and was driven away and fled everywhere, just like the British. But now, he looked at these Americans with admiration. Because he knew that it would be difficult for him to persist for so long under the siege of the five Japanese divisions. Or he could not do it, even if Patton had more troops than him.

"Persist?" Patton also felt Zhang Lingfu's determination. As a result, he was still encouraging morale not long ago and suddenly felt a burst of pressure. "Can we still stick to it?"

"Yes." Zhang Lingfu's face was faint, "Unless we were all killed, we could hold on."

"...General," Patton's face changed because of Zhang Lingfu's words: "This sentence is not auspicious."

"Geely? When you arrive on the battlefield, what other good luck is?" Zhang Lingfu looked at him: "We only recognize two words: kill the enemy!"

"There are more enemies than us! Even with you, the enemies still have nearly twice the strength we have." Patton roared.

"Let your people come down and rest. The defense line is temporarily taken over by our 58th Division. In addition..." Zhang Lingfu told Patton: "General, my commander also told me that you and your troops now have two choices: First, retreat after we exchange fire with the enemy, you have done your best, so this is not considered escape; second, hold on with us until reinforcements arrive..."

"You let me retreat?" Patton pointed at his nose, as if he had heard something incredible.

"It's not you, it's you!" Zhang Lingfu said, "Your performance is enough. Therefore, the War Zone Command allows you to retreat."

"But the British..." Is this a different way of treating it? Is this Chinese want to please the United States? But when I was going to Stilwell before, the attitude of these people was quite bad... Patton said he didn't understand.

"What do you think of those British people?" Zhang Lingfu asked with a hint of contempt on his face.

"They?" Patton seemed to remember the group of people who should have fought with him at this time, and his face suddenly became a little twisted. "I must admit, General, the statement you mentioned just now, "They've won't'" is indeed very original. Yes, they won, they won our contempt and despise. I have never seen a force that can run so quickly, they are really 'magnificent'!"

"Who dares to fight with them in such an amazing army? Just like now... General Patton, I heard that our commanders have warned you that you cannot trust these allies, right?"

"Yes." Patton's face was even worse. Before, he firmly believed that the British would work together with him, but after he found out that he was too naive, reported his experience to the US government, and sued Alexander in front of the high-level, he realized that he was really naive! Marshall sent a telegram to tell him: they were helpless to the British. Because they could not lose an important ally like Britain because of this "US military stationed in the Philippines". Even they could not help Alexander, because Alexander's retreat was understandable. The equipment of the British and Burmese army was far inferior to that of the British in other regions, and the troops were fewer than that of the Japanese. Therefore, in the eyes of the British, Alexander's choice was understandable. Although this person "forgot" to tell his allies when he retreated, it was not a big mistake, because this mistake could be completely pushed to a small person...

"It seems that our commander is right." Zhang Lingfu smiled and said no more, "General, please indicate to me the deployment of the Japanese troops on the other side. We are going to counterattack!" (To be continued...)
