Having said all this, Kimura Heutaro, Adachi 23 and other old devils could not say a word, and they ordered their leaders heavily.

After setting the tone and finishing the opening remarks, Umezu Yoshijiro went on to say: "There is an old saying in China that goes well, the three armies go first before the food and grass are mobilized, and some preparatory work can start before all the ministries arrive.

For example, unplugging the radar network at the forefront of the Chinese army,..."

Chapter 953 No Regret Medicine

Southern Expeditionary Army General Command.

Having nothing to do for a while, Terauchi Shouichi once again stood in front of the map to admire the "great achievements" of the Southern Army.

On the huge map, all areas of Southeast Asia except Myanmar have been covered by the rising sun flag of the Japanese Empire, and all of them have become the occupied areas of the Japanese Empire.

Even now, more than half of the maps of mainland Australia have the rising sun flag of the Japanese Empire planted.

After looking at it for a long time, Terauchi Shouichi put his hand on the Australian mainland on the map, turned his head to the Chief of Staff of the Southern Army, Tsukada Makoto, and said:

"Imamura-kun's ability is still very good. At present, he has captured more than half of the Australian mainland in just two or three months. At present, there are only more than [-] Anglo-Australian coalition forces still in Cooke, Warburton, Kalgoorlie and other places. Resist from the corner."

"Hay!"

Tsukada Gong nodded, then said in a deep voice: "However, judging from the battle report, the situation in the Australian battlefield cannot be completely calmed down in the short term.

Because the Royal Air Force Airport is hidden deep in the continent of Tu-Australia, it is difficult to completely destroy it.

As a result, the airstrips repaired by the 16th Army along the coast, as well as the naval aircraft carriers in coordinated operations, faced the direct threat of the Royal Air Force.

The Imperial Air Force was unable to start the situation for a long time, which in turn affected the army's offensive efficiency and advance speed, and the situation in the Australian battlefield was not very optimistic. "

Terauchi nodded and said: "Well, due to the impact of the results of the battles in Hawaii, the Philippines, and Malaysia, Borneo and other battlefields, we underestimated the difficulty of capturing Australia. The early inferences were too optimistic!"

? "yes."

Tsukada nodded and said, "Australia is actually a continent of more than 700 million square kilometers! Its size is by no means comparable to that of small islands like Hawaii, the Philippines, Borneo, and the Malay Peninsula."

Terauchi Shouichi grinned and said: "It is fortunate that the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean have been controlled by the Imperial Navy, and the Anglo-Australian coalition forces have completely lost foreign aid and supplies, and they will only become weaker and weaker.

The defeat of the British and Australian troops is certain, there is no suspense, and the fall of the whole of Australia is just around the corner!

Once the whole of Australia is conquered, the territory, population resources, and mineral resources of the Great Japanese Empire can be greatly enhanced again!

At that time, we can concentrate our efforts to resolve the war in Burma and the battlefield in China, and the Empire of Japan can sit back and relax! "

Speaking of this, Terauchi Shouichi cast his sights on Myanmar, the only part of the Southeast Asian battlefield that has not yet been planted with the rising sun flag, and said with regret: "It's a pity, we started a month late, otherwise this place would have long been owned by the empire. Territory, and it will not get to the point where it is today!"

Terauchi Shouichi sincerely felt regret and remorse. Although he formulated an offensive strategy from the very beginning, he set Myanmar as a military target that must be captured, and he also paid enough attention to it, dispatching the strongest guard division and reinforcements. The 33rd Division of the Type A Division is also equipped with a division of supplementary soldiers.

But in the end, due to fear of being attacked by the British Royal Fleet and the Royal Air Force, the pace of attacking Burma was slowed down.

As a result, with such hesitation, Yang Fan took advantage of a big loophole without anyone knowing it. In just one month, he not only drove the British forces out of Burma, but also increased troops to Burma at the fastest speed to build a A series of solid fortifications were built.

As a result, the 15th Army, which was able to take a step later, had bumps and bumps along the way. First, the 55th Division had a bloody encounter in the small city of Ye, and then the Guards Division and the 33rd Division were crossing again. The jungle area on the Thai-Myanmar border has been attacked by the special forces of the Huben Army for a long time, and it is covered with bruises.

After finally getting out of the scalp-numbing jungle, the 15th Army has to face the elite troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Army who have been recharging their energy for a long time and relying on solid fortifications.

As a result, the infantry combat unit of the 33rd Division was almost wiped out!

Even the 3rd Flying Division was severely injured, and could no longer maintain air superiority, and could not continue to carry out the hearty and willful bombing of Burma.

Even later, the initiative of the war fell completely in the hands of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the 15th Army had to retreat to the Thai-Myanmar border, and was forced to turn from offensive to defensive!

So for the only big failure in the Southeast Asian battlefield, Terauchi Shouichi has deep resentment!

He has been urging the 16th Army to solve the Australian battlefield as soon as possible, and free up its hands as soon as possible.

Moreover, Terauchi Shouichi also repeatedly asked the base camp to send more reinforcements, it would be best to call in the veteran divisions, in order to get rid of the humiliation and save that not-so-dignified defeat!

At this time, the base camp gave him a big surprise. It sent 40 more imperial soldiers in one go, and there were as many as seven veteran A-type divisions alone, accounting for more than half of the total reinforcements. powerful!

However, what made Terauchi Shouyi extremely aggrieved and so angry that he wanted to vomit blood was that the Burma theater was directly promoted to a general army at the same level as the Southern Dispatch Army!

In other words, the war in Burma is no longer under the jurisdiction of the Southern Dispatch Army Command, and the success or failure of the Burma war has nothing to do with his temple Shouichi!

In other words, if Yoshijiro Umezu really depends on the first battle and conquers Burma cleanly, then Toshiichi Terauchi will not be able to avenge his shame in his life and rewrite this disgraceful "stain" in his military career!

Terauchi Shouichi, who was thinking about being promoted to the Japanese army field marshal with his glorious record and experience, felt extremely depressed, and even had the idea of ​​hoping that the Burmese front army's attack would be frustrated, and then he would come forward to command!

"Yeah, our opponent is too cunning!"

Thinking of the bad things before, Tsukada Gong couldn't feel better, and then he said viciously: "This time the headquarters has made up its mind, and the empire has concentrated and crushed superior forces. It will definitely be able to quell the Burma war in one fell swoop, and even wipe out the Chinese expedition. military!"

After a pause, Tsukada Gong gritted his teeth and said: "It would be great if that nasty Chinese commander Yang Fan could be killed in the Burmese battlefield, and the Japanese Empire would have one less confidant!"

?Shouyi in the temple felt a little frustrated when he heard that, and asked a little annoyedly: "Mr. Tsukada, do you really think that the Burmese dispatched army can really quell the war in Burma this time with a destructive force?"

"Is it not?"

Tsukada-kun was taken aback for a moment, and he could clearly hear the implication of Touichi in the temple, and after thinking silently, he said brokenly: "50 elite Imperial Army, plus two pilot regiments and a powerful Imperial Special Forces The fleet, the 50 Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myanmar, can it still turn the world upside down?"

Chapter 954

Terauchi Shouyi said softly: "I don't think I don't want the Burmese front army to capture Burma cleanly and cut off the last international lifeline of the Chinese government.

I hope that Yang Fan can die in Burma, this hateful Chinese commander has caused too many unhealable injuries to the Great Japanese Empire!

However, based on the analysis of various previous battles, this hateful Chinese commander will never trade at a loss. Since he is still standing firm in Burma, then he must have an unexpected card in his hand! "

Tsukada Gong said a little unconvinced: "I admit that our opponent is very strong, has an extremely keen strategic vision, and will always achieve incredible results!

But in the face of absolute strength, all skills are futile!I really can't believe that Yang Fan can still defend Myanmar this time! "

"Aren't there too few famous generals of the empire planted in Yang Fan's hands? Didn't the Japanese Empire suffer enough from Yang Fan's hands? Haven't you heard the ancient Chinese proverb that a proud soldier must be defeated?"

Terauchi Shouyi frowned. Originally, he just raised the bar casually, emphasizing that it was not because he was incompetent and failed to make a final decision on Myanmar, but because his opponent was too strong.

But at this moment, hearing Tsukada Kogei being so blindly confident, Terauchi Shouichi suddenly had a bad feeling, and said in a deep voice: "If Umezu-kun thinks the same as you, I'm afraid the Empire of Japan will suffer big losses in Burma." !

Myanmar is mountainous and densely covered with jungles. Many areas are easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is not suitable for large-scale ground combat. Even if the empire has the advantage of crushing troops, if you are blindly confident and do not carefully study the opponent's layout to take effective countermeasures !

The imperial army can easily suffer serious damage, not to mention that our opponent has a elusive special force that is extremely good at fighting in the jungle!

What's more, the empire can increase its troops, and the Chinese government can also increase its troops. The national government has already tasted the sweetness of American aid, and Chairman Jiang will not give up the Yunnan-Burma Highway easily!

If the Burmese front army's attack is frustrated, the national government and the Americans will spare no effort to support Burma after seeing hope! "

"Hayi, Your Excellency Commander has learned a lesson!"

After these words, Tsukada Gong felt deeply ashamed, and only then realized that he was really too blindly confident, and he didn't think carefully about viciousness.

After a pause, Tsukata Gong asked softly: "Your Excellency, Commander, do you want to remind General Meizu?"

"Reminder? What do you want to tell him? What good strategies can we offer him to defeat the enemy?"

Terauchi Shouichi shook his head lightly. If the Burma theater is still under the jurisdiction of the Southern Expeditionary Force, then he can send a telegram as the commander-in-chief to warn him.

But Umezu Yoshijiro is also a general of the Japanese army, and he is still the commander of the general army on an equal footing with himself, and there is no affiliation at all.

If you have any intelligence, means, or strategies that can determine the outcome of the battle, you can report it to Yoshijiro Umezu.

But if it is just a friendly reminder out of worry, this will undoubtedly make Umezu Yoshijiro think that he is doubting his basic judgment ability, not only will it not work, but will forge grudges for no reason.

There were these worries in his heart, but Shouichi in the temple didn't say it clearly, instead he sang a high-pitched voice: "Mr. Meijin is a rare famous general in the empire, and he can manage the Kwantung Army well in a short period of time." Well organized and completely eliminates bad ethos on the following gram.

Well, I believe that this time Umejin-kun will definitely be able to lead the imperial army of the Burmese dispatched army to the final victory!

The chariot of the Great Japanese Empire is unstoppable, and the Yamato nation will eventually become the greatest and noblest nation in the world! "

"Hay! It must be like this!"

Tsukada Gong immediately nodded heavily, not daring to say any more nonsense, because he also realized that the proposal just now was really stupid!

Yecheng seaside fortress.

After the 55th Division of the Little Devils attacked Yecheng for two consecutive days and was beaten to death, the helpless leader of the Devils Division Ishimoto Tosan had no choice but to leave Yecheng and make a detour to Moulmein to join the Guards Division!

Since then, the seaside fortress of Yecheng, which cannot be smashed or cooked, has become a tasteless rib in the eyes of the Japanese, and they really want to pull out this thorn in the forefront.

But the little devil calmed down and calculated, but found that it was not worthwhile at all. If he wanted to conquer this carefully built mountain fortress, even with the full cooperation of the Imperial Air Force and Navy, at least 4000 people would have to die.

So after going back and forth, even though the seaside fortress of Yecheng fell into the occupied area for several months, there were no little devils coming to make trouble from the beginning to the end.

And why did Yang Fan keep letting the troops stick to this fortress? The main purpose is not to disgust devils, but to operate this place as an "eye": several radar stations were established above the fortress to monitor the movements of the Japanese Air Force and Navy. in order to respond in a timely manner.

After Umezu Yoshijiro took office as the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Expeditionary Force, he saw this very prominent "eye" on the map of Myanmar. His first reaction was that he was very surprised and puzzled, until Ishimoto Tozo shyly told the past "scandalous things" Finally, Umezu Yoshijiro understood what was going on.

It is said that the new official took office three fires, Umezu Yoshijiro decided without even thinking about it. The first fire was placed in the seaside fortress of Yecheng. This thorn in the side.

After lunch on this day, Yang Ruifu, commander of the 3th Regiment of the 7rd Brigade of the Huben Expeditionary Army, He Wuxiang, the deputy commander, Wan Lianqing, the commander of the first battalion, and Lu Hongxin, the commander of the second battalion, sat down for a tea party !

After Wan Lianqing filled the kettle with water for Yang Ruifu, he said with a smile: "Tuan Zuo, I heard that this time the little devil is going to fight our expeditionary army for real, and will use a whole 50 troops to attack Burma!

Hehe, in such a big battle, our regiment always stays here to drink the northwest wind, how boring!Do you want to send a telegram to our teacher, let us also go head-to-head with the little devil! "

Lu Hongxin hastily seconded, "Yeah, I've been idle here for two or three months, and the brothers are almost talking like a bird. It's so boring to wait for food and drink all the time!"

Yang Ruifu picked up the teacup, took a few sips of tea comfortably, and then laughed and cursed: "Don't you get cheap and act like a good boy. You eat and drink every day, so that treats you badly? At most, the venue for activities is a bit restricted !"

Wan Lianqing pursed his lips and said, "Tuan Zuo, that's not what we mean! We're a bunch of hard workers, and we really can't sit still!

Brother troops are all sharpening their knives and preparing for battle, but we have been idle like this, so uncomfortable in my heart!The teacher's side will definitely bear the brunt again. Our regiment has always fought tough battles, isn't that what? "

Chapter 955 Here Comes Finally

"Don't do this, don't encourage me to do stupid things! Our master's heart is like a mirror. How to march and deploy is our own calculation. How can it be our turn to worry about it?"

Yang Ruifu shook his head and said with a smile: "I completely understand everyone's feelings, but soldiers take obedience to orders as their bounden duty, so there are no rules and no rules!

What's more, who said that there must be no war here?Do you think that the little devil will always let us become thorns in the flesh? "

Wan Lianqing smiled and asked: "Tuan Zuo, will the devil really come to agree with our tough bones?"

Yang Ruifu nodded confidently and said: "That will happen sooner or later. We don't seem to have much military value here, but in fact our radar station can effectively monitor the flight from Bangkok, Thailand to Mawlamyine and Yangon." Devil combat fleet!

Of course, the Devils fleet can also fly in detours to avoid radar station monitoring, but that means that the Devils fleet will have to fly hundreds of kilometers more, greatly increasing fuel consumption and reducing battery life!

It's fine if it happens once or twice, but if it goes on for a long time, the devils will definitely not be able to stand it, so before the devils invade the country and launch a decisive battle, the devils will definitely come in advance to unplug the ground radar network we have deployed on the front line. "

"That's good! That's good! I'm not afraid that the devils won't come, but I'm afraid that the devils won't come!"

"That's right, the brothers have been waiting for it for a long time. If these little devils dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head, we will definitely let these bastards fall on their backs!"

"I am also looking forward to this moment coming sooner, so that we can come out on top again!"

He Wuxiang, Wan Lianqing and the others all had bright eyes, recalling the bloody two days of bloody battle with the little devil in the defense line of Yecheng.

Although the 7th regiment also suffered a lot of casualties, the victory flowers watered with blood are so beautiful and exciting!

A man is not afraid of life and death, he only wants to die for the country and the people without regret!

Jingle Bell!

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao will be here, at this time, the phone in the conference room of the regiment headquarters rang.

"Hello, I'm Yang Ruifu! What's the matter?"

Yang Ruifu was the closest to the phone, so he reached out and grabbed it naturally.

An excited voice immediately came from the other end of the phone: "Reporting group, I am He Haimin, the commander of the third battalion and the first company! Let me report to you that a Japanese reconnaissance team appeared 3 kilometers from the direction of Yecheng, and is conducting investigations on our defensive positions. snoop.

I ask the group seat to give us a chance to go out and catch a few tongues and come back to relieve boredom! "

"Don't worry! Continue to monitor, don't act rashly! Wait for further action instructions!"

After Yang Ruifu put down the phone, he smiled at He Wuxiang, Wan Lianqing and the others and said, "What I said just now has come true, the little devil is already planning on us!"

Wan Lianqing smiled happily: "Then let's do it, the big guy is just too busy to panic!"

"Damn, it's finally here!"

Lu Hongxin rolled up his sleeves, like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.

"Okay, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and I can only catch big fish by setting a long line!"

Yang Ruifu waved his hands with a smile, and continued: "The most urgent task is not to go out and wipe out the Japanese squad that came to investigate, but to do a good job of mobilization and preparation before the battle.

The so-called unkind people don't come, the little devils sent a small group of troops to investigate, it is definitely not an idle egg to visit the mountains and rivers, it is probably a signal that a large-scale attack is about to take place. "

He Wuxiang nodded thoughtfully and said: "What the group said is very true, the little devil has been silent for so long, it will definitely not be easy to make a comeback this time, we must be fully prepared!"

"Well! Lao He, you report this situation to the brigade headquarters immediately, and immediately call the platoon leader and above officers to the regiment headquarters for a meeting!"

Yang Ruifu keenly sensed the danger, even though the 7th Regiment had more than 1500 people stationed at the seaside fortress, and the fortress was extremely well supplied with medicines, food and ammunition.
