Chapter 19 Section 6 A pair of conjoined twins in the tropical jungle

In view of the fact that the number of troops entering Burma increased, the Indian Army was ordered to reorganize the troops under its jurisdiction and reorganize the troops into two armies. After the two-month siege of Myitkyina, the Chinese and American troops fighting in northern Myanmar were extremely tired, and the troops urgently needed to be reorganized.At the same time, it is also very necessary to rest and reorganize the team before attacking Bhamo, the last stronghold of the Japanese army in Burma.Therefore, starting from mid-August 1944, the Chinese and American troops that invaded Burma underwent more than 50 days of reorganization. For two armies, namely the new 1st army and the new 6th army, a pair of conjoined "

Thus Brothers was born in the jungle of Burma. The new 1st Army (commander Sun Liren) has 38th Division (commander Li Hong), the new 30th Division (commander Tang Shouzhi), and the 50th Division (commander Pan Yukun); the New 6th Army (commander Liao Yaoxiang) has the new 22nd Division ( Division Commander Li Tao), the 14th Division (Teacher Commander Long Tianwu).Zheng Dongguo, the former commander of the New 1st Army, was promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army in India. And precisely at this time, serious differences arose between Chiang Kai-shek and Stilwell on issues such as the distribution of US aid to China and the command of the troops stationed in India. The contradictions between them had reached the point of irreconcilability.As a result, under Chiang Kai-shek's repeated requests, Roosevelt recalled Stilwell from the Chinese theater on October 19, and replaced him with the docile Wedemeyer as Chiang Kai-shek's chief of staff. .Wedemeyer lived in Chongqing for a long time and followed Chiang Kai-shek, while Salden was not familiar with the situation of the troops stationed in India. Therefore, Zheng Dongguo almost independently presided over the later wars in Myanmar.
