關鍵環節：第一次緬甸戰役中的林蔚及其參謀團

Key Link: Lin Wei and His General Staff Mission to Burma in the First Burma Campaign

關於1942年的第一次緬甸戰役，學界研究成果十分豐碩，可見所受之重視。當中史實論述，多會提到林蔚及其參謀團，惟深入的學術研究，可說尚未展開。實際上，林蔚駐臘戍的參謀團，與駐梅苗的英軍司令部，以及駐瓢背的遠征軍第一路司令長官部，三個高級軍事單位鼎足而立，皆扮演一定角色。是役為國軍首度遠出國門作戰，戰地遙遠、通訊不便，統帥部特設參謀團以監督遠征軍作戰，其主要工作，一為指導，一為聯繫。考察參謀團的作為，可見其係第一次緬甸戰役國軍的重要組成環節，它的組織與運行，具體展現了蔣中正的指揮統御，以及國軍參謀制度的發展、特色與侷限。

Regarding the first Burma campaign in 1942, the academic research results were very fruitful, which shows the importance it received. Among the narratives, Lin Wei and his General Staff Mission to Burma are often mentioned, but in-depth academic research has not yet been carried out. In fact, Lin Wei’s General Staff Mission to Burma in Lashio, the British High Command in Maymyo, and the Chinese Expeditionary Forces First Command Headquarters in Pyawbwe, the three high-level military units are very close to each other, and they all play certain roles. This campaign was the first time that the National Revolutionary Army went abroad to fight. The battlefield was far away and communication was inconvenient. The Nationalist Government National Military Council set up the General Staff Mission to Burma to supervise the operations of the expeditionary army. Its main tasks were guidance and communication. Examining the work of the General Staff Mission to Burma, it can be seen that the Mission is an important part of the National Revolutionary Army in the first Burma campaign. Its organization and operation specifically demonstrated Chiang Kai-shek’s leadership, as well as the development, characteristics and limitations of the National Revolutionary Army’s staff system.
