    > Chapter 1158: Stabbing in the Back

    Several main corps of the ** Division in the south, Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps, Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps, Directly Affiliated Corps, Li Honggang's 29th Corps, and Ma Chaoyang's Southeast Mobile Corps, were successively transferred to Myanmar  , participated in the Japanese Southeast Asia Expedition Force combat mission against Ito Genzaburo.  (m_)

    Tang Qiuli's plan was not to annihilate all the Japanese troops under Ito in Myanmar. The best result was to force Ito to retreat in the face of difficulties. Therefore, he transferred all the troops that far exceeded the Japanese troops in Indochina.  Myanmar is to give Ito and Japanese decision-makers a clear signal that it is easy to eat up Ito's troops.

    Tang Qiuli's strategic layout used three corps to maintain strong pressure on Ito on the Libao front line in central Myanmar, and used Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang corps to slowly advance towards Mandalay, Ito's key point in the east, forming a  The encirclement forced Ito's troops in Indochina to retreat southward, as close to the Americans as possible, in order to avoid being completely annihilated.

    As for Ito's continuous reinforcement of troops from the mainland, Tang Qiuli didn't care at all. Even if he dragged all Japanese men to the battlefield, the Japanese army would still be touched by the strength, equipment, and strategic deployment of the Japanese division in Myanmar.  With his head broken and bleeding, he also knew that if Ito didn't let him try again, this unwilling guy would never retreat south.

    Therefore, the current battlefield in Myanmar is in a relatively balanced state. Tang Qiuli's mind has been placed on MacArthur who is far away in Manila. He slapped this guy silently. With MacArthur's character and habits, he would never  He would just swallow his anger and act as if nothing had happened.

    Tang Qiuli hesitated in his heart. MacArthur wanted something from him. The more indifferent and indifferent he became, the more anxious he became. Ito's 300,000 Japanese troops were separated from the Americans by the South China Sea and the narrow Strait of Malacca.  The Japanese with their huge fleet were just like a shallow bay. This alone was enough to make the cunning MacArthur sleepless. The Japanese could bite the British, so why couldn't they bite the Americans?

    In late August, Tang Qiuli held a meeting of commanders and chiefs of staff of the various corps entering Myanmar in Myitkyina. Originally, this meeting should have been held long ago, but it was postponed for seven or eight days in order to wait for Feng Jiwu and Ma Chaoyang.  It is a foregone conclusion that the Japanese division will occupy the entire southeast. As for the Japanese, they can fight them out at any time if necessary.

    The main content of the meeting, in addition to military deployment, was mostly about how to effectively exercise administrative power after occupying the Indochina Peninsula. When it came to this, the commanders of several corps stopped talking.  To be honest, these corps commanders don¡¯t have any problems when they lead troops to fight. They have been through blood and fire for several years, and their bayonets are red with the Japs. Those commanders don¡¯t have their own set of command skills.  , it can be said that the styles are different.

    But when it comes to managing the place, these people are really frightened. Even Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, who is mature and prudent and has managed the rear area at the Northeast Base, frowns frequently. After so many years, he has almost forgotten all about it.  , Besides, this is a foreign country, and the situation at home is very different, involving many ethnic and local conflicts.

    Tang Qiuli also saw everyone's thoughts and said with a smile: "It's not that you Commanders should change their careers to become local officials. This is what the current situation requires. Before our administrative system is established, everyone really has to work on their own.  Please serve as the local magistrate of our defense area and the director of the military control committee in each place."

    "Let me tell you some news. I have issued orders to the Border Special Economic Zone and Pingjin and Shandong Garrison Areas. Each of the three places will dispatch more than 15,000 administrative cadres to form the Indochina Military and Administrative Management Committee, which will be established in  Recently, when we arrived here, all the countries that were originally divided were disrupted and the administrative regions were reset. "

    "My local officials, I'm afraid I won't be able to serve for much longer." Everyone burst into laughter. Tang Qiuli could see it, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He continued, "As the old saying goes, when you get on the horse, you will be in charge."  Only when the army and the people are dismounted can a good general be able to govern the country and bring peace to the country. What do you think? Do you no longer want to be a good general? "

    Everyone laughed again. At this moment, Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, hurriedly opened the door and came in with a nervous look on his face. Normally, it was not an extremely important matter. A military meeting at this level, a meeting at the division headquarters.  The directors of various departments would not disturb him easily, and everyone looked at Chen Feng in surprise.

    Chen Feng held a telegram, "Division Commander, I received an urgent telegram from Chen Han, commander of the Guangzhou Security Command. Xu Liejun, the former chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Government, announced the establishment of the provincial government in Zunyi, northern Guizhou, and declared that throughout Guizhou,  Exercising the chairman's management power, a team of eleven security divisions was immediately organized.The troops suddenly pushed into Guiyang this morning. At present, they are less than three kilometers away from the defense line of our Guangzhou Guard Second Brigade in Guiyang.  "

    "In addition, Liu Xiang's troops in Sichuan also sent four divisions to push into Guiyang from the direction of Luzhou and Bijie. The Gui army under Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi also sent five divisions from northern Guangxi to Nanning.  The direction is moving. In view of the insufficient strength of our ** division in the country, the division commander is requested to deal with it as soon as possible!"

    Tang Qiuli looked at the telegram and was silent. This was an unexpected situation. Xu Liejun was a direct descendant of Chiang Kai-shek. He thought about restoring his sphere of influence all day long. This was expected. After all, the entire Qiannan  Being turned into a rear base in the Myanmar war zone by himself is equivalent to cutting off a large piece of fat from Guizhou, but shouldn't Liu Xiang, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi do it?

    If Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi still have a reason to explain, after all, going south from Nanning is also the range of the rear base of the Myanmar theater that they have demarcated. For Li and Bai, who have always regarded Nanning as their own, although they have also gained  There are many benefits, but at the end of the day, there is a complete Guangxi. It is reasonable that these two people are thinking about restoring their sphere of influence.

    Liu Xiang¡¯s actions are puzzling. The scope of Myanmar¡¯s restoration of bases does not include Sichuan. He is not involved in the oil and jealousy, so why join in the fun?  Furthermore, he has a good personal relationship with Liu Xiang. The Japanese army that blocked Shouichi Temple in Chishui River won a complete victory, so he still followed his own advice. What's more, there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the Japanese division and the Sichuan army.

    As for Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, it is very strange for them to fall out with themselves at this time. Can they be sure that even if they occupy Nanning, they can keep it and not lose it?  They had seen the combat effectiveness of the ** division with their own eyes. How could they be so bold?  When it comes to personal relationships, Li Bai and I have more friendship than any other local boss.

    Various analyzes flashed through Tang Qiuli's mind. There must be a black hand behind this matter. The three parties must have been promised benefits for their joint action. Otherwise, Liu Xiang, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi,  He didn't dare to risk falling out with himself by sending troops. Several old Jianghu people should be able to distinguish the importance of this.

    The atmosphere in the conference room became tense. At this time, a serious incident occurred in the country where several forces united to attack the rear of the ** division. Several corps commanders weighed the weight of this incident. It was the division commander who launched the overall layout.  , the critical moment of strategic pressure on Ito, if part of the troops are withdrawn, a huge loophole will appear in the division commander's layout. The entanglement with Ito's Japanese troops in Burma will have a huge impact on the final formation of the Indochina Peninsula.  Influence.

    Li Honggang stood up and said: "Commander, these guys really don't know whether to live or die. As soon as our 29th Corps entered Myanmar, they stabbed us in the back. I request that you lead the 29th Corps back to the division's homeland and use  In less than a month, these guys will be wiped out. Let¡¯s take over all their territory.¡±

    It was rare for Li Honggang's character to be so excited. This was because after other regiments of the ** Division entered Burma, the rear base of the entire Myanmar theater was designated as the security range of the 29th Corps. As soon as he left, someone stabbed him in the back.  In Li Honggang's opinion, it was because he failed to do his job when he was responsible for security duties and had insufficient deterrence, which made people like Xu Liejun have evil intentions. This was his dereliction of duty.

    Tang Qiuli said to Li Honggang gently: "Hong Gang, please be patient and sit down first. A few loaches cannot turn the sky upside down. Jiwu, Ma Chaoyang, withdraw from the troops left behind by your two regiments in the eastern part of Indochina Peninsula."  The troops of the five brigades heading north to support Guiyang will be commanded by Zhang Hansheng, chief of staff of the Niangziguan garrison. "

    Chief of Staff Chang Feng reminded: "Division Commander, how should we respond to Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's Guijun troops in the direction of Nanning? Our army in Nanning only has one brigade from the Guangzhou Garrison Command. Do we also need to support them?"

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter in the direction of Nanning. Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi are smarter than anyone else. They are taking one step at a time and looking at the next three steps. The key is Xu Liejun. He really risked his life to fight us, and behind him is  Chairman Chiang is supporting us. As for Liu Xiang, don¡¯t worry. Let¡¯s adjourn the meeting. The previous arrangements for the Burma campaign remain unchanged.¡±

    Just when Li Hong was about to lead the 29th Corps back to the country, Tang Qiuli had already figured out his thinking. As he said, among the three groups, only Xu Liejun from Guizhou was determined to take action, and he was also the most active.  Along the way, and behind this incident, the Chairman Chiang who was always thinking about him in Chongqing was indispensable. Without him instigating and bewitching him behind the scenes, Xu Liejun would not have such strength and courage.

    As for Liu Xiang of Sichuan and Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi of Guangxi, one should be forced to do so, and the other should take advantage of the chaos. If Xu Liejun succeeds, they will naturally take back the southern Guangxi area. If Xu Liejun hits the wall, Li Bai and Li?I will give myself a reasonable explanation.

    However, what puzzled Tang Qiuli was that there was such a big movement from the three parties, why did a very sensitive military intelligence network not respond at all?  He said to Yang Ketian, the chief of staff who was following him: "Ketian, immediately order Yu Deshui, director of the intelligence department, and Shen Jun, director of the investigation department, to meet me in the office."
