"Yue, the Sixth Army cannot go south!" Stilwell clearly saw Yue Weihan's hesitation and hurriedly dissuaded him, "God, this is too risky. Before the Japanese 18th Division completely gave up the idea of ​​breaking out, let the Japanese

It is undoubtedly extremely risky for the Sixth Army to rush south. If the war in northern Myanmar cannot end in time, it will be meaningless for the Sixth Army to capture Mandalay before the Guards Division, because without strong backup,

The Sixth Army simply cannot defend Mandalay!"

"Backup?" Yue Weihan suddenly turned his head and asked Chu Zhongtian, "Zhongtian, where is the 39th Group Army now?"

Chu Zhongtian replied without hesitation: "The entire army has passed through the natural barrier of Shu Road in northeastern Sichuan. The forward Baoshan Division will be able to arrive in Chongqing this afternoon at the latest."

"Yue, I'm afraid the 39th Group Army can't count on it." Stilwell said with a bitter smile, "The distance from Chongqing to Burma is more than ten thousand miles? Unless tens of thousands of trucks are sent to pick it up, or hundreds of large transport planes are directly dispatched.

Airlift, otherwise, the 39th Army will never be able to arrive in Myanmar within 20 days."

"Car!?" Yue Weihan's heart suddenly moved.

As long as there are enough cars, the 39th Army may really be able to reach Myanmar in time!

Since the Nationalist Government retreated to the southwest, a large number of cars have been running on the Burma Highway every day. These cars are public and private, and the total number is at least 10,000! At that time, due to the lack of truck drivers in the country, the leaders of the overseas Chinese in Nanyang

Mr. Tan Kah Kee even mobilized more than 3,200 Nanyang machinists to return to China to serve.

After the fall of Lashio, the Burma Highway was interrupted. Most of the transport cars are now idle in Kunming, rusting and moldy. Even the more than 3,200 Nanyang mechanics who were mobilized by Mr. Tan Kah Kee to return to China are now mostly in trouble due to unemployment.

, if all these idle cars are collected, a powerful transportation force will be formed immediately!

A truck can carry at least 2 tons of supplies or 20 soldiers. 10,000 trucks can transport 20,000 tons of supplies or 200,000 troops! The 39th Army has a total of about 100,000 people, and the supplies accompanying the army are about 5,000 tons. 10,000 trucks

It is enough to transport the entire 39th Group Army to Myanmar at one time, including the transportation capacity for carrying oil.

Yue Weihan immediately turned back to Stilwell and said: "General Stilwell, please fly to Kunming immediately and rent trucks from major transportation companies at high prices in the name of the U.S. government. If possible, it is best to discuss it with Wang Longwang of Yunnan.

Requisition all the trucks in Yunnan, and then send these trucks to Chongqing urgently to bring the 39th Group Army to Myanmar!"

"Okay, this is indeed a good idea." Stilwell said, and said in confusion, "But Yue, why don't you just rent the truck in the name of the expeditionary force? You are the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force appointed by the Nationalist Government.

I think if you need to rent a truck, the major transportation companies will definitely support you without hesitation."

Yue Weihan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "General Stilwell, you don't understand China's national conditions."

"I really don't understand your government. Well, I'll go to Kunming right now." Stilwell shrugged and then said, "But Yue, you must promise me that you will never let the Sixth Army go south to capture Manchuria.

Dele! This is too risky, and maybe the entire situation in Myanmar will collapse because of this risky decision."

"I'm afraid this won't work." Yue Weihan said without hesitation, "The Sixth Army must go south!"

"Yue, please be sensible." Stilwell said urgently, "God, you are gambling!"

"General Stilwell, I am very rational now." Yue Weihan turned around suddenly, looked at the direction of Mandalay in the south, and said in a deep voice, "Because I am convinced that the expeditionary force can win this battle, and Dai Anlan's assault group will definitely be able to grab the victory."
