Diwei is tall and usually doesn't want to wear uniforms that indicate military rank. He has boots, an old-style hard-edged combat hat from the First World War, and a pipe in his mouth. He is serious, deep and sensitive, and very conceited. This is the first impression Stilwell left on Wu Ming.

Due to the different views of the US general and Chinese leaders on dealing with the problem, Chiang Kai-shek and Stilwell's relationship has become very tense, and it is not far from the time when the two completely turn against each other.

Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, the different ideas of Jiang Shi and the other two are mainly attributed to four aspects: First, modern Chinese leaders have always believed that China is a victim of Western imperialism. They welcome allies like the United States to fight against Japan, seize the lost territory of China, and establish a modern new China, able to interact with Western countries on an equal basis. Stilwell has completely different understandings and views on China's current situation and the war of resistance against Japan. He saw that the continuous wars within China, and his previous experience as a military officer in China made him almost hopeless about China's democratization and reform. Second, Stilwell's primary task is to block the Japanese army from entering Myanmar. He focused too much on Myanmar and urged him to

Promote Chiang to provide more military and human resources. However, as the leader of the National Government, Chiang needs to defend the entire China, and cannot only consider Myanmar alone. Third, the two have different strategies for fighting against the Japanese army. For China, the primary task of the War of Resistance is to regain lost territory and unify the country, while the main view of the US side is to support the National Government to hold on in the war to restrain the Japanese army. Fourth, Stilwell looked down on many generals under Chiang. He complained to Chiang about the poor quality of Chinese military officers, believing that the Chinese general's ability is "second-rate", and warned Chiang if he still handed over a large amount of military affairs to such a general, "it would be a waste of effort" and would "create an extremely bad impression between the United States and Britain and the allies."

With the above factors, it is not surprising why Stilwell's relationship with the leadership of the National Government is so bad and worse. When Chiang learned that Stilwell had tried to contact the Communist Party in Yan'an and wanted to invite them to join the National Army to fight against the Japanese army, Chiang was particularly annoyed. Chiang thought the suggestion was "too excessive". He touched his taboo with Kuomintang officials. Then when discussing the two issues of using the US Air Force in the Chinese theater and using more military forces to regain Myanmar for the Allies, the conflict between the two sides rose to a new level. Chiang strongly argued that the air force was used in Myanmar and China, and Stilwell strongly opposed Chiang's view with the strong support of US Secretary of Defense General Marshall.

Perhaps it was the initial victory of the surprise attack on Myitkyina that Stilwell abandoned the temporary unhappiness and was a little energetic. After all, this was commanded by him, and strictly speaking it should be his battle to avenge him. Therefore, when Brigadier General Mill introduced Wu Ming to him, Stilwell carefully examined Wu Ming through his glasses and lenses for a while, and then stretched out his thin but strong hand to shake Wu Ming.

"Col. Liu, you led the rangers deep into the enemy's backbone and fought very well," Stilwell said. "And it has provided great help to this surprise attack on Myitkyina."

"Thank you for your praise." Wu Ming nodded slightly, "Honor belongs to the warrior, loyalty creates glory."

Stilwell was stunned for a moment, feeling very strange about what Wu Ming said. He grinned for a long time. "Col. Liu, it turns out that he cherishes the soldiers so much, is very good, very good."

Everyone accompanied Stilwell into the temporary command center. Brigadier General Mir first introduced the battle situation, and then expressed concerns about the Japanese reinforcements entering Myitkyina. He also reported to Stilwell according to Wu Ming's plan to attack Myitkyina.

"Mill, if we don't stop it, what speed of reinforcements should be?" Stilwell thought for a while and looked up and asked.

"Col. Liu." Brigadier General Mir waved and called Wu Ming over, "You are familiar with the situation of the Japanese army around Myitkyina, so you can introduce the situation to the general!"

Wu Ming nodded, pointed to the map and said, "If our army does not stop it and allows the Japanese to reinforce Myitkyina, I estimate that the Japanese army will reach 3,000 within one week and 5,000 within two weeks, which does not include the Japanese army that may be reinforced from Bamajixi."

Stilwell frowned and gently tapped the map with his fingers. "We can send British troops to block the attack from the south, and we have to work hard on the east, west and north. More than 5,000 Japanese troops are defending by risk, which is really a headache. In addition, the rainy season is approaching, delaying time is very unfavorable to us."

"General." A staff officer reminded: "The 4142 of the 14th Division, the 90th Regiment of the New 30th Regiment, and the 149th Regiment of the 50th Division are currently gathering at the airport and ordering them to speed up the speed. If the aircraft speed up transportation without day and night, it is still certain that four regiments will be transported within five days."

Stilwell nodded, "Issuing an order immediately to let them act quickly. Never let the Japanese devils get into the turtle shell, and try to eliminate the Japanese devils' reinforcements in the wild as much as possible."

"General." Huang Chuncheng, the commander of the 150th regiment, walked up, "The one who stationed in Myitkyina is just a regiment. If we step up the siege, maybe when the Japanese devil reinforcements arrive, we have occupied Myitkyina."

Stilwell looked at Huang Chuncheng in confusion, "The Myitkyina defenders have about one regiment, and they are defending themselves by risk. Our army must not only defend the airport, but also control the ferry. There are no more than two regiments that can participate in the siege. It is better to conduct a tentative attack first, find out the reality of the Japanese defense, and block the small Japanese troops' reinforcements outside Myitkyina."

"General, soldiers are so fast!" Huang Chuncheng continued: "Although the Japanese army has a regiment, it is scattered in the entire urban fortification. Our army may not have no hope of success in attacking one point. If the Japanese army wants to stop our army, they must concentrate their forces, and a loophole will appear in the solid defense line."
