Chapter 1642 take office

As soon as the appointment was issued, Zhong Yi immediately began to establish the temporary command of the Indian-Myanmar War Zone.

With Zhong Yi's strong recommendation, Wang Geng was appointed as the chief of staff of the Indian-Myanmar War Zone by the Ministry of Military Affairs, and Wen Yingxing was also appointed as the logistics minister of the Indian-Myanmar War Zone.

"Brother Hesun, I'll work hard for you next." Zhong Yi did not politely to Wen Yingxing, and said directly, "The top priority is two main things, one is food rations!"

"Ministry and Political Department, you should not count on it, it is impossible to allocate military rations to us."

"So I can only ask you to go along the Sichuan-Yunnan Highway to buy food."

"In addition to the food rations that are enough for 400,000 strong men, we should also prepare as much thin vegetables as possible and meat vegetables as possible."

"Don't worry about the money. I will give you 50 million first. If it is not enough, you will tell me. In short, I only have one requirement for you, and there should be no reduction in staff due to hunger."

"Yes." Wen Yingxing stood attentively and said solemnly.

Otherwise, Wen Yingxing is a human elite. As soon as he was appointed, he no longer regarded himself as Zhong Yi’s senior, but quickly entered the role and regarded Zhong Yi as his superior.

After pausing, Wen Yingxing said again: "In addition to food rations, do you also need to prepare military uniforms? After all, it is winter now, and it is impossible for strong men to bring their own cotton military uniforms for winter."

"There is no need for military uniforms." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Myanmar's climate is hot, and it's useless to prepare cotton uniforms. Moreover, there are British uniforms there, and they will be distributed uniforms after they arrive in Myanmar."

"Okay." Wen Yingxing nodded and said, "Then I'll prepare first."

After saying that, Wen Yingxing hurriedly said goodbye and prepared to take people to the Sichuan-Yunnan border to purchase military rations.

Zhong Yi then turned his gaze to Wang Geng and said, "Brother Shouqing, you have two main tasks. One is to select a group of students from the fifth session of the special class, and urgently form a general staff. Then, to formulate a Myanmar defense plan as soon as possible, how to block the first wave of Japanese offensive with the strength of the existing four armies."

Wang Geng said in surprise: "To draw up a defense plan now?"

"Yes, let's plan for defense now." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice. "Before the 22nd, 23rd, 27th and 30th armies arrived in Myanmar, the plan must be done well, otherwise it will be too late to make plans when the troops arrive in Myanmar."

Wang Geng frowned and said, "But the problem is, we don't even know how many Japanese troops we need to face?"

"It can be estimated." Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, "According to reliable information, the total strength of the Japanese Southern Army is about twenty combat divisions and more than 500,000 people. The main combat directions are divided into four to five. Then the maximum number of troops used for combat in Myanmar is about five divisions, and at most two divisions in the early stage."

Wang Geng nodded and said, "Then let's make a defense plan according to the two divisions?"

"Well, let's follow the plan according to the two divisions." Zhong Yi nodded, "The premise is that the Japanese army cannot enter Myanmar, especially Yangon, must not be lost! If Yangon is lost, the China-Myanmar highway will be cut off. At that time, not only will the entire National Government be in a difficult situation, but our Indian-Myanmar war zone will also become very unfavorable."

"Okay." Wang Geng said, "I will draw up a defense plan as soon as possible."

While speaking, the adjutant Zhang Shiliang came in and reported: "Chief, Commander Yang, Commander Deng, Commander Pan and Commander Wang are joining forces outside the gate to ask for a meeting."

"It's just right." Zhong Yi nodded, "Please invite them in."

After a while, Yang Sen, Deng Xihou, Pan Wenhua and Wang Lingji walked in together.

"Brother Ziren, hey, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it." Yang Sen laughed, "We still have a chance to fight the Japanese under your command."

Although Deng Xihou, Pan Wenhua and Wang Lingji didn't say anything, they also looked excited.

Obviously, Deng Xihou and the others are still very looking forward to being able to go out to the national army to fight the Japanese under Zhong Yi's command.

By the way, Deng Xihou's 22nd Army, Pan Wenhua's 23rd Army, Yang Sen's 27th Army and Wang Lingji's 30th Army are resting in Hunan Province.

Deng Xihou, Pan Wenhua, Yang Sen and Wang Lingji were also studying in the general class.

However, Deng Xihou and his team were studying in the Class A general rank, while their army commanders and division commanders were studying in the Class B general rank.

So when they heard that Zhong Yi was ordered to form the Indian-Myanmar War Zone, and their four armies had been assigned to the Indian-Myanmar War Zone, the four of them immediately came to visit.

"Commander-General Yang, Commander-General Deng, Commander-General Pan and Commander-General Wang." Zhong Yi said sincerely, "I won't say more extra words. I will just say one thing. This time, this time, the fight against the Chinese people is not only related to the face of the Chinese, but also to the life and death of the entire country. Therefore, we must unite sincerely and overcome the difficulties together!"

"This is nothing to say." Pan Wenhua sighed, "We Sichuan people have nothing to say when fighting the national war."

"By the way." Deng Xihou also said with a sigh, "We Sichuan people don't have anything else, there are still a few hard bones."

Wang Lingji also said: "In the past, the Chinese people laughed at us Sichuan people for only knowing how to fight in the nest, but now, we will use iron-like facts to tell them that we Sichuan people are no worse than anyone else's in fighting national wars!"

"Okay, very good!" Zhong Yi stretched out his hands and held the four of them hard.

Zhong Yi is still looking forward to Deng Xihou, Yang Sen, Pan Wenhua and Wang Lingji.

There is no need to say much about Pan Wenhua. He was selected as the designated successor by Liu Xiang, and he was first-class in terms of character and ability. He can be said to be a top-notch among the many senior generals of the Sichuan Army.

I won’t talk about the character of Yang Sen, Deng Xihou and Wang Lingji, but my abilities are still quite good.

Yang Sen's 27th Army and Deng Xihou's 22nd Army actually performed very well in the Battle of Shanghai. Principal Chang's Central Army was well-equipped, but his achievements were far inferior to those of the Sichuan Army!

Therefore, Zhong Yi has reason to believe that the four of them can perform well on the Indian-Myanmar battlefield.

However, considering the actual needs, the division commanders under their commanders would be fine.

Zhong Yi intends to replace all the commanders and division commanders in the Sichuan Army. The 5th class of the special class will be replaced in large numbers of the Indian-Myanmar Army division commanders!

But this matter must be supported by Jansen and others.

Zhong Yi said now: "Four commanders-in-chief, I have something to discuss with you."

Yang Sen Ran said: "Zi Ren, just say it directly, we will do it!"
Chapter completed!
