The command center made the decision to give up the Battle of Pingmanna, which was reflected in the fact that Pingmanna had fewer soldiers and vehicles to the front line, and instead, a team of cars full of wounded and supplies were walking in the opposite direction.

The order received by the Engineering Corps was also to rush to Tangji with the 200th Division.

Knowing this order, Zhang Chi knew that his map had already played a role, that is, Shangfeng finally realized that the battle between Pingman and Na is unwise, and the most important thing is the crisis on the Eastern Front.

So Zhang Chi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he thought that his map almost told the Japanese army's overall plan and even the specific time when the 56th Division captured Lashio. If the battle was still not prepared and the Japanese army was cut off from their retreat like history, then he would have nothing to say.

However, what Zhang Chi didn't know was that the failure of this battle in history was not that no one saw the crisis on the Eastern Front. In fact, Du Yuming in history emphasized the importance of Tang Ji and Mei Miao from beginning to end, and had been fighting for reason, but in the end he could not resist a lot of people who didn't understand military but held power to command indiscriminately.

Alexander, Stilwell, Luo Zhuoying, Lin Wei, Chiang Kai-shek... No matter which one of them, he could directly or indirectly order Du Yuming, making it impossible for him to dispatch troops according to his own ideas.

Among them, Alexander may have the least influence on Du Yuming, but it is not.

The reason is that Alexander may have no choice when dealing with the Japanese army, but when dealing with allies, it can be said that he is full of wisdom and tricks, and he is cruel and sinister enough...

When the Expeditionary Force received information to withdraw from Pingmanna, Alexander's head began to turn again:

We cannot let the Chinese retreat just like this. If we retreat just like this, the Japanese would chase after the British army again. There was a Ren'anqiang before, and there was a very likely second Ren'anqiang afterwards. If the British army was surrounded again and the Chinese could not take care of themselves, of course, it would not be possible to rescue the British again.

Is there any way to hold back the Chinese?

Alexander knew that it was impossible to fool Du Yuming. This Chinese person himself did not take his words seriously, and as a Chinese, he also considered the issue based on China's interests.

As for Luo Zhuoying, he was just a dog who obeyed Stilwell's orders.

So Alexander thought of Stilwell... This fool is an American, and he will not care about the safety of the Chinese team. At the same time, for the interests of the United States and his dream of heroism, he also wanted to promote the Chinese team and the British team to fight a big battle with the Japanese army to consume the Japanese offensive energy.

Thinking of this, Alexander had an idea. He looked at the map and thought for a while, then said to the adjutant: "Send a telegram to General Stilwell, saying that Chokeba discovered a Japanese army of 3,000 people in the direction. This Japanese army is likely to threaten the British army's retreat to India. Due to the security of tens of thousands of British troops, we may have no choice but to give up the Battle of Mandalay and withdraw back to India first!"

The adjutant was stunned because he had not received any news about the three thousand Japanese troops of Chokbadang. The Chinese Engineer Corps fought a fierce battle in Ren'anqiang Oilfield and ignited the war again. At this time, the Japanese 33rd Division was busy putting out the fire in the oilfield! Moreover, General Slim also built a defense line on the Binhe line. How could the Japanese army appear in Chokbadang?!

But the adjutant still responded, "Yes!" and continued to execute the order.

Alexander is leaning back to advance... Don't you, Stilwell, hope to promote the Chinese and British Allied Forces to fight a big battle with the Japanese army in Mandalay? Then I'll make you anxious first!

Sure enough, Stilwell was quickly fooled.

More than ten minutes later, Alexander received a call from Stilwell: Alex, I hope you can continue to fight, otherwise the Battle of Mandalay will be impossible to talk about, which is related to the safety of the entire Myanmar.

So Alexander naturally made a shameless request: Joe, I must consider the lives of tens of thousands of British troops. You know, my troops are unable to fight the Japanese because of insufficient morale. Unless a Chinese team can be transferred to defend Joe Khadang, so that the British troops can have a way to retreat to Mandalay and prepare for battle, we have no choice!

This statement seems reasonable on the surface, but in fact, Alexander was using a false information to trick Stilwell into transferring the Chinese team to Chokeba to cover the retreat of the British team.

Stilwell may have a good eloquence, but he is not Alexander's opponent in conspiracy. He believed Alexander's words and called back: "I will try my best to make this happen. Please command the British army to prepare for the Battle of Mandalay!"

How could Stilwell know that the British had never thought about fighting the Mandalay Battle from beginning to end. Alexander even installed explosives on the Ava Bridge in Mandalay and prepared to retreat.

Alexander fooled Stilwell and he completed the task. The next headache was Stilwell.

Stilwell neither has command experience and military talent like Du Yuming, nor has the insidious and cunning mind of the political army like Alexander. He only thought about how to stand on the interests of the United States to promote the joint fight between the Chinese and British armies with the Japanese army, and at the same time add a lot of money to his contributions.

So he started to think: It was impossible to ask Du Yuming to agree to send troops to help the British defend Qiao Keba. Du Yuming would only consider issues from the perspective of Chinese interests without taking the overall situation into consideration... So, looking at the same thing from different angles sometimes leads to ridiculous results.

For example: From outsiders, it is obvious that Stilwell was involved in Alexander's case that he couldn't see the situation clearly, but from Stilwell's perspective, it is... all of them are the faults of those self-righteous and disobeying orders. They are all short-sighted idiots!

Stilwell continued to think: Du Yuming ignored the overall situation, but Luo Zhuoying was not. The one he could influence was Luo Zhuoying.

So Stilwell discussed with Luo Zhuoying and asked Luo Zhuoying to bypass Du Yuming and command the 200th Division, which was transferred to Tangji, to rush to Qiao Kebadang.

As for all this, Du Yuming was completely kept in the dark. He thought Tang Ji was already on the way to Tang Ji on the east line, but in fact he was transferred to Choke Badang on the west line.
