"Is that true?" Ishihara smiled and said, "Are the ships crossing the river ready?"

"Hayi." Gu Dina Huaxiong said, "It's all ready."

"Tell me." Ishihara smiled. "What ships have you prepared?"

"Hai." Gu Dina Huaxiong paused again and continued, "The Navy has prepared more than a dozen landing crafts for us, and has also recruited more than fifty barges from the Thai Navy. In addition, there are about two hundred civilian fishing boats recruited on the east coast of the Andaman Sea. At least one infantry corps can be transported to the west bank of the Salwin River at a time."

"Yo Xi." Ishihara nodded happily.

One infantry corps is transported at a time, and one division is only seven or eight times, and you can cross the river in half a day.

This means that the four divisions of the 25th Army and four independent regiments can cross the river in up to three days.

After pausing, Ishihara Kaner said again: "This time, in order to speed up the march, the army only carried less than half a month of combat supplies. The subsequent logistical support is a big problem. Has your General Staff made a plan?"

"Hayi." Gu Dina Huaxiong said, "The subsequent supply of combat materials will be transferred by the Navy."

"Naval?" Ishihara said with a frown. "There is uncertainty in sea transportation. Once it is attacked by the Royal Navy, it may be delayed or even damaged. Do you have an emergency plan?"

"This..." Gu Di's Huaxiong was speechless. He had never done this before.

"Baga." Ishihara smiled angrily, "You don't even have an emergency plan?"

Gu Di Na Huaxiong whispered: "Commander, with the Navy Combined Fleet here, I am afraid that the British Royal Navy will not dare to enter the Andaman Sea again?"

Ishihara smiled and frowned.

From Tani Na Huaxiong's tone, Ishihara Kaner heard unconcealed contempt.

The great success of the Pearl Harbor incident not only brought Japan a generous return on war, but also brought another negative impact, that is, neither the navy nor the army will take Western powers seriously.

The Pearl Harbor incident and the devastating victory of the Battle of Hawaii that broke out immediately reversed the Japanese army's deep-rooted impression of the West. The Japanese suddenly discovered that the West was a paper tiger, which looked majestic and invincible, but it was actually vulnerable to the fight!

As a result, the morale and enthusiasm of the Japanese army rose unprecedentedly.

Morality and enthusiasm have a good side.

The positive side is that the Japanese army had psychological advantages when facing the armies of Western powers.

The reason why the Japanese army was able to quickly win the armies of the American, British, and Dutch forces in Southeast Asia was inseparable from the psychological excellence they established in the Battle of Hawaii!

However, in addition to the good side, there are also bad sides.

The bad side is that the Japanese army has become more arrogant than before!

A arrogant soldier will definitely be defeated, and Shin-Kan-Kan still understands this quartz.

As expected, the Navy will soon be defeated in the Andaman Sea.

For the Navy, it is actually not harmful to suffer a partial defeat in the Andaman Sea, but for the Army, especially for their 25th, the Navy's defeat in the Andaman Sea may lead to catastrophic and serious consequences, because once the Navy is expelled from the Andaman Sea, even if it is temporarily expelled, the 25th Army may face the desperate situation of running out of ammunition and food.

Ishihara Kanji said in a deep voice: "Kun Tani, Britain has dominated the ocean for more than a hundred years, so don't despise a former world overlord! Your staff must make emergency plans. Once the Navy's special condemnation team is expelled from the Andaman Sea, once sea transportation is cut off, how can the 25th Army's logistics support be solved?"

Gu Dina Huaxiong said: "In this way, you can only walk on the land passage."

"Onland passage?" Ishihara Kan's eyes turned to the muddy road outside the window, "Is this the road?"

"This road...is probably overwhelmed." Gu Dina Huaxiong frowned, "This road not only needs to be detoured for a long distance and delay time, but the most important thing is that the Chinese army can easily cut off as long as it sends a small force to detour, so we may have to find another transportation line."

While talking, Gu Di Na Hua Xiong spread out the map.

After watching a film on the map, Gu Dina Huaxiong said again: "Commander, please see, there is a railway directly from Bangkok to Bantatona on the western foot of Bilao Mountain. It is less than fifty kilometers in Yacheng on the eastern foot of Bilao Mountain! We just need to repair a simple highway between the two places to solve the problem of land transportation."

Ishihara nodded and said, "The question is who will build this highway?"

"The laborers are ready-made," said Gu Di Na Huaxiong. "In the battles of the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, we captured a large number of British and Burmese prisoners of war, and we just happened to let these prisoners come to build roads."

"If it's not enough, you can arrest Chinese people as laborers."

“There are millions of Chinese people in the Malay Peninsula and Thailand.”

"Yo Xi!" Ishihara nodded happily and said, "Kun Tani, immediately send a telegram to the embassy of the embassy in Thailand. This is coordinated by the Thai embassy in advance! Then your staff will follow up."

"Hayi." Gu Dina Huaxiong bowed his head heavily.

...

In Yangon, the head of the Myanmar War Zone.

Zhong Yi said: "Before the army moves, food and grass will come first, and logistics support is the top priority."

"That's right." Wang Geng said deeply, "especially under the premise that the shipping is blocked by the Japanese Navy, the logistics support of the Myanmar War Zone will be even more difficult!"

Stilwell said in a deep voice: "So we need to rush to repair the Indian-Myanmar Highway."

Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "No matter how fast the Indian-Myanmar highway is built, it will never be completed within two months, so we can't count on the first or second phase of the Myanmar Battle."

Stilwell frowned and said, "Then I can only save some supplies."

"But the British and Burmese army only left us half a battle-related combat supplies. No matter how much we save, we will only last for about half a month." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "So in the first stage of the battle, or even the second stage, we may have to find a way from other channels."

"Another channel?" Stilwell said, "What channel?"

Zhong Yi said, "General Stilwell, if I remember correctly, the first batch of military supplies obtained by the National Government from the U.S. government under the Lease Act has arrived at Yangon Port? As far as I know, these military supplies are mainly ammunition, food and medical equipment, right?"

"Yes, there are a total of 200,000 tons of supplies." Stilwell said.

The next second, Stilwell suddenly looked like a move and said, "Zhong, do you want to requisition this batch of supplies?"
Chapter completed!
