    approximately  No matter how thick-skinned Xiao was, he could not bear the terrible consequences. Therefore, he could not stay on the Yangon front line for long. However, MacArthur was worried because he could not see Tang Qiuli taking action against the Japanese in Yangon City.

    Two moods were tormenting. In the past few days, the old and cunning MacArthur felt like he was living like a year. Now that he is better, Liu Xinlan brought the news that he wanted to hear most. A big stone fell in his heart. MacArthur suddenly felt as light as a swallow.  He was so excited that he could hardly control it. It seemed that Tang Qiuli had decided to take action.

    After the battle started, he immediately flew back to Manila secretly, and achieved the purpose of his trip without anyone noticing. MacArthur also saw that in Yangon, the Chinese and Japanese were in a fight to the death, and the Japanese  It was good that he was no match for Tang Qiuli, as it completely eliminated his worries.

    MacArthur was happy that the threat could be eradicated without the Americans sending a single soldier. As for what to do if the Japanese come back after the Battle of Rangoon?  MacArthur was not worried at all. Indochina was Tang Qiuli's sphere of influence. When the time came, Tang Qiuli would fight the Japanese to the death without taking action himself. Since he could not swallow Indochina, let this annoying Chinese  Why not be a free bodyguard?

    Things are developing very smoothly. MacArthur is not going to give out the generous gift that he originally prepared. It is necessary to make modifications. Even if the Japanese are completely wiped out in Yangon, Tang Qiuli's strength will be consumed a lot.  , when the time comes, I will make new demands, such as the United States possessing the right to dominate the Strait of Malacca, etc., I think.  Tang Qiuli also has no strength to compete with the United States. He needs to regain his strength.

    Thinking of this, MacArthur was so excited about the situation in Southeast Asia.  It feels so good to be under your own control, playing with Chinese and Japanese, so cool!  He stretched out his hairy arms and was about to give Liu Xinlan a bear hug. Liu Xinlan frowned slightly, took two steps back without leaving any trace, and said: "Your Excellency, General. I will pick you up early tomorrow morning. Goodbye!"

    Looking at Liu Xinlan¡¯s slim back disappearing into the yard, MacArthur spread his hands without feeling any embarrassment, shrugged, acted helpless, and muttered something.  "Shy Chinese women really don't know how to be charming." Of course.  A small episode did not affect MacArthur's good mood at all.

    According to a report from an agent arranged by the Investigation Bureau at the American station, "In the evening, all the Americans gathered together to drink. MacArthur was particularly active, with a beaming face, eloquent words, a red face, and frequent toasts.  Celebrate victory in advance.¡±

    After Tang Qiuli heard the report.  There was a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth, and she said to Liu Xinlan with concern: "Xinlan, your mission is completed. After staying up most of the night, just go back and rest first. Shanhu and the others are here." Liu Xinlan squirmed.  Instead of leaving, when others were not paying attention, he blushed slightly and whispered: "I just want to spend a little more time with you!"

    Tang Qiuli laughed so loudly that everyone in the division looked at him inexplicably. Liu Xinlan was so angry that she stared and stamped her feet. Looking at the two people's actions, everyone seemed to understand and laughed kindly.  The roof was almost overturned. Liu Xinlan wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in. She clenched her fists and kept threatening Tang Qiuli.

    On October 29, at 2:30 in the morning, MacArthur and a dozen Americans followed Liu Xinlan and a group of guards to a mountain covered with tall trees. It was the darkest moment before dawn.  The road up the mountain is very difficult, with deep grass and thick dew, and the trails are rugged and slippery. I have never experienced such a scene. The pampered Americans have suffered such hardships. Every step slips, and they often fall down and bite the mud.

    If the guards hadn't stopped them from behind and allowed the Americans to wander to the foot of the mountain, at least half of the distinguished American generals would have ended up with bloody heads and multiple fractures. It's strange that the seemingly weak Liu Xinlan  , the climbing speed was no slower than these trained guards. MacArthur, who was panting like an ox, looked at the slender figure in front of him, deftly walking between the trees, shook his head in disbelief, and muttered "Weird China"  woman!"

    When we reached the top of the mountain, it was almost three o'clock. The white fish belly appeared in the east. The general outline of the top of the mountain could be seen. It was an open space shaded by green trees, showing obvious traces of artificial construction. There were several tents with no lights, and they were densely packed.  The telephone line stretched out into the distance, and several artillery mirrors were set up in the open space, facing the direction of Yangon.

    From the terrain point of view, this is an excellent observation point, overlooking the entire battlefield. Before MacArthur could catch his breath, Tang Qiuli came out of the woods and said to MacArthur: "WelcomeThe general came to my observation post and forgot to tell you that I am not commanding this battle, so we are just spectators.  "

    MacArthur was stunned for a while, shook his head in disbelief and said: "General Tang, I don't understand that you gave up command of such an important battle. Why?"

    Tang Qiuli smiled, revealing his white teeth and bright eyes, which were exceptionally bright in the dim light of dawn. He replied: "This is normal. My generals all have experience in commanding large-scale battles.  In some respects, they even surpass me, so I can rest assured that they can do better than me.¡±

    Tang Qiuli was implicitly reminding MacArthur that the generals of our Army are all generals who can act independently. Every one of them can stir up wind and rain in the sky. Without me, the Army's combat effectiveness will not be reduced. He  Although I don¡¯t know what MacArthur¡¯s intention is, based on my understanding of Americans, they are all greedy guys. There is no harm in being warned in advance.

    MacArthur shook his head in disbelief. He felt that since dealing with Tang Qiuli, his previous knowledge about the Chinese had become outdated overnight. The Chinese were becoming more and more difficult for him to understand, especially this person.  Tang Qiuli.

    Tang Qiuli ignored MacArthur again and left the American to ponder what Tang Qiuli had just said. When he came to Liu Xinlan, he lovingly stroked her dew-wet hair and casually put on his windbreaker.  As for Liu Xinlan, just as Liu Xinlan was about to refuse, Tang Qiuli stretched out a finger and pressed it against her soft red lips, making a sound.

    A feeling of happiness instantly filled Liu Xinlan's body and mind. Her military uniform was already wet with dew. The autumn wind in southern Myanmar in the early morning, although not bone-chilling, was still chilly. Wrapping up her windbreaker, the girl was overwhelmed by Tang Qiuli's thoughtfulness and kindness.  Careful and inexplicably touching, it feels so good to be taken care of!  Especially the one you love.

    At three o'clock in the morning, a trace of morning light has appeared in the east, and the morning star is still hanging in the eastern sky. At the frontline headquarters of the Yangon Campaign, Tang Qiusheng closed his eyes slightly and sat back on the marching chair. No one could tell that this *  The third most powerful person in the ** division, the lieutenant general and deputy commander of the ** division who commanded three corps and hundreds of thousands of troops, was thinking about something.

    Yu Guanghan, the Corps Chief of Staff, came to his side and whispered: "Deputy Commander, the time has come." Tang Qiusheng suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, Yu Guanghan saw the cold light flashing in the Deputy Commander's eyes: "Let's begin!"  "Tang Qiusheng said calmly, and Yu Guanghan ordered the staff who were guarding the phone, "Start the general attack!"

    As soon as Yu Guanghan's words fell, the staff officers had already issued orders to various attacking troops. Countless red flares slowly rose in the sky, as bright as holiday gifts. Almost at the same time as the flares rose, as if they were being fired.  As if the electric current was activated instantly, the earth-shattering roar of the motor sounded in the silent dawn.

    MacArthur was a veteran in the military. He could tell that there were at least a thousand tanks. // Fastest text update < > - No ads // The sound of tanks starting up at the same time. He did not understand.  Commander, what kind of battle are you fighting? There is no preparation for artillery fire. It starts with an armored assault. Once the Japanese artillery fire starts to return fire, the infantry accompanying the tank attack will suffer heavy casualties?

    In MacArthur¡¯s decades of military experience, he had never heard of using tanks to fight street battles, not to mention seeing it. Which country¡¯s general would fight like this?  It seemed that the generals under Tang Qiuli did not understand the essentials of urban attack at all. MacArthur felt a sense of contempt in his heart, which was contempt for Tang Qiuli and the First Division troops.

    However, MacArthur remained calm. He had no intention of reminding Tang Qiuli, and there was no need to remind him of the Chinese he hated the most. On the contrary, he was gloating about others' misfortunes. MacArthur really wanted to see that, in a few hours,  Tang Qiuli's troops were bruised and disgraced. By then, the Chinese's face would definitely look ugly.

    MacArthur even had some expectations that such a result would appear soon. Not long after the roar of the tank engine, fierce gunfire rang out outside Yangon city. The gunfire range was very wide, almost covering Yangon.  To the north and west, the defensive Japanese troops began to fight back.

    From MacArthur's point of view, looking through the high-power artillery mirror, one can even see the bullets hitting the tank armor, the strings of sparks splashing out, and the streaks of flames ejected from the tank's muzzle. The battle line is very long.  It is undeniable that the commander of the ** division was very thoughtful about this attack.

    Multi-point attack, multi-channel assault, disperse the thickness of the Japanese defense forces, seek a breakthrough, the tactics are correct, but it is useless, urban assault battle is not this style of play, MacArthur can even imagine that the soldiers of the ** division were fiercely attacked by the Japanese soldiers.  of firepower??, corpses littering the fields.

    The look in his eyes as he looked at Tang Qiuli's back was filled with schadenfreude.
