Since the attack on the Japanese airport in Myitkyina, Kumenling was carried out separately by Zhang Junhot's melee team, Zhang Junhao secretly sent the Kachin army to open up a path without informing General Stilwell.

General Stilwell resolutely adapted the newly formed 30th and 50th divisions of the Chinese Army stationed in India into the Mai Detachment, formed a mixed commando of China and the United States, and entrusted the command of Brigadier Mairel. All the command of each detachment was handed over to US officers. Zhang Junhao firmly opposed it. Zhang Junhao not only suspected that Brigadier Mairel's special operations command capabilities were not good behind enemy lines, but firmly believed that under the command of Brigadier Mairel, he would inevitably encounter major setbacks or major losses.

Zhang Junhao felt that after the Special Melee team captured the Myitkyina Airport, they took a plane to the upper reaches of the Qindun River and fought in the area where the Japanese army attacked heavily. They could stay away from Myitkyina, a region that might suffer major failures or major losses. Zhang Junhao thought that if the Special Melee team continued to stay there after capturing the Myitkyina Airport, they would have to obey the command of Brigadier General Mairel, and as a result, they might encounter major failures or major shortcomings under the stupid command of Brigadier Mairel.

When going to the upper reaches of the Qindun River to fight, you are very likely to suffer major failures or major losses, but your destiny is controlled by yourself, so Zhang Junhao still feels a little lucky.

Since he had any objections to General Stilwell, Zhang Junhao acted alone and opened up a way to Myitkyina, so he naturally would not tell Stilwell.

Not only will it not be told the road to Myitkyina, but it will not be told the details of other actions.

It is extremely difficult to open a path to Myitkyina. It is more than 100 kilometers long and is densely packed with jungles. It must be kept confidential to prevent being discovered by the Japanese army. Zhang Junhao handed over the important task of opening the path to the Kachin Army, and the reconnaissance team of the Special Melee Team is accompanied by a radio station.

The importance of destroying the Japanese fortress in Kumenling is reflected at this time. If the Japanese fortress is present, you must first conquer the fortress. At the time of attacking the Japanese airport in Myitkyina, it will turn into an open attack rather than a surprise attack.

Before going to Mengguan to fight, Zhang Junhot's melee team had sent two teams to Myitkyina and Menggong to reconnaissance. The route had been determined long ago, and I also knew about the deployment of the Japanese troops in the Myitkyina direction.

An important task for the reconnaissance squad was to reconnaissance the deployment of troops at the Japanese Myitkyina Airport. When Zhang Junhao led the team to arrive, he could immediately launch an attack on the Japanese Myitkyina Airport.

Zhang Junhao estimated that it would take at least ten days for Taikri to adapt, and the ten-day special melee team would stay in Kumenling to rest and prepare for the battle.

Soldiers regard obeying orders as their duty. No matter how much Zhang Junhao has any objections to his superiors, he will not resist the orders. He will only reserve some of his superiors in small details.

After leaving Kumenling this time, I will not return.

Zhang Junhao went to the chieftain's office twice to visit the chieftain, had secret talks with the chieftain and his son, and guided them to carry out related work. Once, he brought Lieutenant Colonel Huang Yongjun, and Lieutenant Colonel Huang Yongjun introduced them to the working methods of the New Fourth Army. Zhang Junhao did this not for himself, but based on the interests of China's national and national interests.

Zhang Junhao visited a large number of people's homes and gave them supplies.

Zhang Junhao talked to the leader and told him that it was his own that the special melee team left the back mountain official's house.

That morning, General Stilwell and General Betno, the chief of staff of the headquarters, came to the Gumenling Troop camp for inspection.

Zhang Junhao gathered his team in the open space early in the morning to welcome General Stilwell and his party to arrive.

Before General Stilwell and his party arrived, everyone sang.

After General Stilwell arrived, he first stood on the high ground and spoke to all the members of the Special Melee team. He highly praised the great achievements made by the Special Melee team since the airborne Kumen Ridge.

Then, he personally gave Zhang Junhao a big-character flag with the "Hammer of Thunder" embroidered by "Thunder God". After Zhang Junhao took it, he waved the flag and all the members of the special melee team shouted the slogan "Win the War of Resistance".

Zhang Junhao handed the flag to Colonel Brandon. After waving the flag a few times, he inserted the flag aside.

Then Zhang Junhao invited General Stilwell and his party to the team headquarters. In the combat command room, Zhang Junhao presided over a meeting of officers above the squad leader.

After Zhang Junhao delivered a welcome speech, General Stilwell spoke.

General Stilwell reviewed the achievements of the Special Melee Team since the airborne Kumen Ridge, and gave the highest evaluation to Zhang Junhao and all the officers and soldiers of the Special Melee Team. He called Zhang Junhao the "Thunder Hammer" and Zhang Junhao the "Thunder God" who uses the extraordinary hammer.

General Stilwell said that he would use the Special Melee as the "Thunder Hammer" to fight the Japanese army. Wherever there is a strong enemy, he would airborne the Special Meleee. Wherever there is a battle, he would send the Special Meleee to wherever there is a battle that is the most difficult to fight.

General Stilwell said that he believed that under the leadership of Zhang Junhao, the Special Melee Team would be able to move forward like in the early stages, beat the Japanese army to the ground and resolutely complete all the great and glorious missions entrusted by the headquarters.

Finally, General Stilwell talked about the adaptation of Taikri and told everyone that Taikri has been completed. From the day after tomorrow, the Sino-US mixed commando stationed in Taikri will be divided into three straight attacks on Myitkyina. I hope that the Special Melee team can set off immediately and attack the Japanese airport in Myitkyina. Disrupt the Japanese deployment and support the arrival of the Sino-US mixed commando.

Stilwell emphasized the significance of capturing Myitkyina, and asked all officers and soldiers of the Special Melee Team to resolutely overcome difficulties, live up to the mission, and resolutely conquer the Japanese Airfield in Myitkyina.

On behalf of all the officers and soldiers, Zhang Junhao expressed his opinion that he would resolutely complete the glorious mission assigned by the headquarters. All the soldiers of the Special Melee Team set off tomorrow morning and strive to take down the Myitkyina West Airport the day after tomorrow, and then support the arrival of the Chinese and American commandos.

After everyone had lunch in the combat command room, Zhang Junhao, General Stilwell and General Betno came to the reception room to have tea and chat. Li Li accompanied him.

After taking a few sips of tea, General Stilwell frowned and said, "More than 100 kilometers of jungle roads are not easy to walk. I guess I have to walk for at least one week. The special melee team will set off tomorrow. How can I get the Japanese airport in Myitkyina the day after tomorrow?"

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Then please give me some time?"

General Stilwell thought about it and said, "My order to Brigadier General Mairel is that he must arrive in Myitkyina within 12 days."

Zhang Junhao frowned and sighed, "It takes so long on the road, and the Japanese army will be prepared for it! Then the surprise attack will turn into a strong attack!"

General Stilwell said: "The road is too far. You can walk twenty kilometers a day in the jungle, which is just a speed. Similarly, your troops can't reach Myitkyina in one day. In my opinion, it will take at least ten days."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Okay! How about I promise to take down the Myitkyina Japanese Airfield within 12 days?"

General Stilwell nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay! If you can take the Japanese airport in Myitkyina within 12 days, I will earn great contributions to you and the special melee team."

Zhang Junhao said: "If the Sino-US mixed commando departing from Taikri cannot arrive on schedule, our troops may be surrounded by the Japanese army at the airport."

General Stilwell nodded and said, "I will urge the mixed commando of China and the United States to arrive as scheduled. After the mixed commando of China and the United States to arrive at the Western Airport, it will immediately control the key points on the west side of the Mission Detachment and then launch an attack on Myitkyina. Your unit stays at the airport and waits for our plane to transport the New 30th Division and the other teams of the 50th Division. When the other teams of the New 30th Division and the 50th Division arrive, your unit will take a plane to the upper reaches of the Qindun River and airborne the Japanese army behind the 15th Army of the Japanese."

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "Don't worry! I just obey the orders firmly."

Stilwell looked at Li Li and said, "When the TCM team captured the Myitkyina Airport and the airport can be safely opened, I will arrange for the plane to carry the new 30th and 50th Divisions to Myitkyina. At that time, I will arrange a plane specifically for you to take you to Chongqing and then back to the United States."

Li Li smiled and said, "Thank you, General! After returning to the United States, during my time of treatment, I will write more articles to report the feats of the Sino-US coalition forces in fighting against the Japanese invaders to the whole world."

Stilwell nodded and said: "We must report both in front of the enemy and behind the enemy. We must tell the whole world that the anti-*** alliance will definitely defeat the *** Axis powers, and the Japanese troops in the China-Myanmar region will definitely be eliminated."

Li Li nodded and said yes.

After seeing Stilwell away, Zhang Junhao and Li Li returned to the reception room to talk.

Wu Qiong came to inquire about the news, and Zhang Junhao asked Wu Qiong to sit down.

Li Li said to Zhang Junhao: "General Stilwell still underestimates our special melee team. The path has been opened. Our special melee team is capable of walking a hundred kilometers of jungle road a day and a night."

Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "The key is that the Sino-US mixed commando team formed with the Mai Detachment as the core is slow. They are in enemy-occupied areas and cannot open up roads in advance, and they cannot even explore the roads. Stilwell gave them 12 days, and I don't think it's possible to arrive without 15 days. Think about it! Once the Japanese army learned that the Sino-US mixed commando was heading to attack Myitkyina, how can they not block them layer by layer? Even if the troops were seriously insufficient, they would still block them layer by layer."

Li Li said: "Don't worry about them. What I want to know is, when will our special melee team set off?"

Zhang Junhao thought for a while and said, "Then wait for another three days and let the mixed commando of China and the United States set off first. We can slow down our journey and strive to reach Myitkyina for two days, then lurk to further reconnaise the enemy situation. After figuring out the Japanese troops and deployment at the Myitkyina airport, we rushed over with lightning speed and took the airport in one fell swoop."

General Stilwell and General Betno walked side by side in the jungle. General Betno laughed and said, "General, Zhang Junhao's tone is so loud! He actually wanted to arrive in Myitkyina within one day and take the airport the next day. It's so arrogant."

General Stilwell stopped the horse, looked General Betno in the eyes, and said, "It seems to be a fantasy to us, and it is absolutely certain to Zhang Junhao. He is the one who says he will do his best. He said that he can take the Japanese airport in Myitkyina the next day, and he will definitely take the next day."

General Betno was stunned and whispered: "How is it possible? Is it easy to cross the tropical rainforest for more than 100 kilometers? It is absolutely impossible. He knew that you didn't need him to seize the airport so quickly, so he boasted."

General Stilwell shook his head and said, "Oh! Let's worry more about the mixed commando of China and the United States! As long as Zhang Junhao arranges tasks, we can let go of a hundred hearts."

General Betno whispered: "Since you are not worried about Brigadier General Mairel, why don't you hand over the front command of the Myitkyina Battle to Zhang Junhao? Judging from his previous record and Zhang Junhao's personal special combat talents, Zhang Junhao is much stronger than Brigadier Mairel. Zhang Junhao is the most suitable front-line commander!"

General Stilwell shook his head and said, "The command of each team must be held by US officers, which is a principle. Zhang Junhao is responsible for commanding the special melee team is a special case! This situation will never happen again in the future."

General Betno sighed and said, "Are you not worried that Brigadier General Mairrell would suffer a major setback in command of his team to fight?"

General Stilwell also sighed and said, "Zhang Junhao and his commanded special melee team are indeed powerful in combat. Not only have they created great achievements in Zhejiang to attract attention from the world, but since they have landed in Kumen Ridge, they have won every battle. They have eliminated the elite 18th Division with no less than 7,000 live power, and eliminated two Japanese tank brigades, and successfully rescued British special forces and American special forces. This time they captured Mengguan and defended Mengguan, which played a key role in our major victory in this battle. For this reason, today I will not come to Zhang Junhao and his special melee team to award the "Thunder Hammer" battle flag?! I will give the honors firmly, but the command of the team is firm.
Chapter completed!
