Chapter 584 Myitkyina Urgently Asks for Help

General Wingate asked Zhang Junhao to go down the mountain, with the main purpose of discussing with Zhang Junhao and Major General Stopford, commander of the 2nd Division of the British Army.

General Wingate knew that when Zhang Junhao captured the western section of the ridge and launched an attack on the Japanese army in the middle section, the main force of the first column of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army was at a dead end, and it was only a matter of time before it was eliminated. General Wingate wanted to hear Zhang Junhao's opinion on how to eliminate this Japanese army. Because if the British 2nd Division was allowed to attack, he estimated that the British 2nd Division would lose at least thousands of officers and soldiers.

Zhang Junhao was able to capture the western section of the ridge, destroy the Japanese army's solid and huge group of gangs, and create a myth that one soldier was not injured. He had to listen to Zhang Junhao's opinions humbly in order to capture the entire ridge at the lowest cost and wipe out the main force of the Japanese First Column.

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Junhao came to the headquarters of the 2nd Division of the British Army, when General Wingate asked for advice on how to capture the ridge, Zhang Junhao actually suggested that the British Army's 2nd Division deliberately sell flaws and let the remnants of the First Column of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army escape.

Zhang Junhao's suggestion almost shocked General Wingate's chin, and General Wingate would certainly oppose it! He did not think about the problem. In his opinion, letting the Japanese army escape was an act of offending the heavens. As long as he persisted in fighting, no Japanese would be able to escape the First Column of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army.

Zhang Junhao looked at General Wingate and asked with a smile: "Do you want to eliminate the remnants of the first column of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army and continue to gather heavy troops and the main forces of the Japanese Army's 31st Division to fight a protracted battle in this area, or do you let the remnants of the first column of the 31st Division escape, so that the first column of the 31st Division leads the entire division of the Japanese Army's 31st Division retreat. We will then divide and surround the Japanese Army's 31st Division through pursuit? These two results are for you to choose."

General Wingate was stunned and looked at the eyes of Major General Stopford, the commander of the British 2nd Division, and asked in a low voice: "Will the escape of the first column of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army lead to a major retreat of the 31st Division?"

Major General Stopford, commander of the 2nd Division of the British Army, looked confused and whispered: "General Zhang is a talented man. I have never thought about it and can't keep up with his ideas."

General Wingate looked at Zhang Junhao and asked in a low voice: "Do you think the first column of the 31st Japanese division will escape, and the main force of the 31st Japanese division will inevitably retreat? What if the main force of the 31st Japanese division meets with the remnants of the 1st Column and fight back?"

Zhang Junhao shook his head and said, "This battle launched by the 15th Japanese Army, the Laoshi Division did not do enough logistics support. The Japanese army carried food and ammunition almost exhausted, and could only be maintained through looting. If this battle continues, the Japanese army will be dragged down. When the remnants of the First Column of the 31st Division escapes, panic will spread and infect each other. We will draw heavy troops to airdrop behind the enemy, cut off the Japanese retreat route, and do not give the Japanese army any chance to obtain land supplies. The front-line army will be pressed and pursued relentlessly. You see, how could the Japanese army not collapse and run away to death? If the Japanese 31st Division is

With the Great Retreat, the 15th Army will be almost far from the Great Retreat. The Battle of Impalkohima can be transitioned to the stage of major counterattack. General, you can communicate my ideas with General Slim and General Mountbatten to see if they understand what I said. The Great Retreat must be led by General Slim and General Mountbatten, and use all the available forces, plan the arrangement of the large counterattack forces, and study the tactics of major counterattacks. Once the large counterattack is carried out, the enemy and us will intertwin, and the situation in the early stage will be very chaotic. If not planned in advance, it will lead to major losses."

General Wingate nodded repeatedly and said, "You convince me. OK! I will coordinate with General Slim and General Mountbatten to find a way to let the First Japanese Column escape. But how to let the First Japanese Column escape?"

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Before our major counterattack plan is well established, we must not let the Japanese escape. Once the plan is well established and all units are issued, the British 2nd Division will retreat from the eastern section to the middle section, and all artillery will be concentrated and bombarded the middle section. The 7th Division weakens the strength of the attack on the Japanese army, and even withdraws, and cannot force it too tightly. Only after the Japanese army escapes for a period of time can we pursue it. The Japanese army pursues it as soon as they escape, and the main force of the Japanese 31st Division will inevitably respond, which will lead to the two sides re-arrangement of troops on the plateau platform, and there is a great possibility of a stalemate again. After the first column of the 31st Division of the Japanese army escapes, they must immediately draw troops and airborne behind enemy lines and cut off the Japanese retreat route. If the airborne troops do not cut off the Japanese retreat route, the main force of the 31st Division of the Japanese army will not retreat greatly."

General Wingate nodded vigorously and said, "Didn't I tell you about the headquarters of the Koshimath melee? General Slim and I have already had plans for the airborne team. They want to airdrop the T-Milit and Chindit brigade. Ukruel is equal to Impal and Koshima, and is on the top of the eastern side of the main triangle. Once Ukruel is occupied, it can cut off the retreat route of the 31st Japanese division."

At this moment, the Chief of Staff of the 2nd Division received a telegram and rushed over. Major General Stopford, the commander of the 2nd Division, took it and handed it to General Wingate.

The telegram was jointly issued by General Mountbatten and General Slim. The telegram said that the Sino-US coalition forces suffered a major setback in the Battle of Myitkyina, and the Mai Detachment was almost killed, and the war was in an extremely unfavorable situation. The Japanese 56th Division showed signs of approaching the 18th Division. Once the two divisions approached, the Sino-US coalition forces had to retreat back to the Hukang Valley. For this reason, General Stilwell begged to temporarily draw the Zhang Junhot melee back to Myitkyina. After the Sino-US coalition forces captured Myitkyina, they would airdrop the Zhang Junhot melee team any strategic location required by the British army. In view of the Japanese

Since the main force of the First Column of the 31st Division of the Army was trapped on the ridge, our situation was already on the initiative. The command decided to agree to General Stilwell's request to transport the Zhang Junhot melee team back to Myitkyina by plane. After Myitkyina was captured, Immigkyina would transport the Zhang Junhot melee team back to Myitkyina. This work was communicated by General Wingate and General Zhang Junhao, and begged General Zhang Junhao to overcome difficulties, obey the overall situation, and take a car from Kohima to Myitkyina by plane. General Wingate accompanied him to Dimapur and returned to Impal.

After reading the telegram, General Wingate handed it to Zhang Junhao.

After Zhang Junhao saw it, his brows frowned tightly. What's going on?

Myitkyina gathered heavy troops from the Sino-US coalition forces, the newly formed 30th Division and the newly formed 50th Division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, Mai Detachment, British special forces, and a large number of armored troops and artillery soldiers. How could Mai Detachment be almost wiped out? Since Mai Detachment is almost wiped out, the two divisions of the Chinese Expeditionary Force must have suffered heavy damage.

There are not many Japanese troops in Myitkyina! The main force search for the 56th Regiment has been eliminated!

If the military situation in Myitkyina is not urgent, Stilwell would not have asked the Special Melee team to reinforce, and General Mountbatten and General Slim would not agree.

It seems that the war in Myitkyina has become a mess, and the Chinese and American United Nations are in an extremely passive situation.

General Wingate looked at Zhang Junhao and asked in a low voice: "What should I do?"

Zhang Junhao sighed and said, "What can I do? Follow the command of all actions. Wherever my superiors ordered my troops to go to fight, I will firmly obey the order. I have explained to you how to fight the next battle here. You need to communicate with General Slim. After communication, you have to formulate a large counterattack plan, which will take at least one week to implement. I don't think how difficult the Myitkyina battle is. The reason why the Myitkyina battle is to be like this is definitely a big problem in command. Even if the Sino-US coalition forces suffered heavy damage, I think the Japanese army is still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength comparison between the enemy and us. Once the method is correct, I think I think it will take not long to defeat Myitkyina."

General Wingate covered his face with a cloud and smiled and said, "Then we will wait for you to go to Myitkyina, and then we will implement a large counterattack plan. You must quickly defeat Myitkyina. I am waiting to send your troops to great use!"

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "The superior has an order, I will firmly implement it! If General Stilwell does not let me come over, we will no longer have the opportunity to cooperate."

General Wingate was shocked and said, "How can this work? After I return to Impal, I will ask General Slim and General Mountbatten to put pressure on General Stilwell and force him to take Myitkyina to take the battle immediately after he is defeated."

Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "That's the business of your superiors. I reiterate that there is an order I will firmly implement. Let's discuss now how the 2nd Division will take over the position of my troops in the western section of the ridge. I have to withdraw the special melee team back to Kohima City immediately."

At this moment, Captain Nathan came in and said, "Captain, the team headquarters called and said that he had received a joint telegram from General Slim and General Mountbatten, asking you to lead the T-squad team back to Kohima City, to Dimapur, and then fly to Myitkyina."
