Take Taobao to fight against Japan

Nishikawa Musashi said shamelessly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this telegram will never be wrong. The battlefield reporters also took a lot of photos and videos on the scene, which will be sent to the Commander-in-Chief soon.

In addition, the Imperial Air Force arrived on the battlefield later but failed to find the Huaxia artillery cluster. Obviously, this is a new type of self-propelled artillery with very powerful mobility. ..."

"Baga! How come the Huaxia Army has such a new type of artillery? Why didn't the special high school get any information about such important information? Come on, call Hanagu Taro here immediately!"

After listening to Nishikawa Musashi's analysis, Umezu Yoshijiro threw the pot out angrily.

"Hay!"

A ghost guard standing at the door immediately led the way.

Nishikawa Musashi then gave a friendly reminder: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the 19th Army is still waiting for your tactical guidance!"

Umezu Yoshijiro frowned and pondered for a moment, but couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he turned to Kimura Heutaro and said, "Kimura-kun, what do you think?"

Heitaro Kimura pondered: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this incident is too sudden! It has dealt a great blow to the morale of our army. I don't think it is appropriate to launch a large-scale cross-river operation before finding out what new artillery the enemy is using. .”

"Well, it coincides with my thoughts! Mr. Xichuan, immediately send power to the 19th and 20th armies and ask them to suspend their attack and stabilize their positions!"

Umezu Yoshijiro nodded, and hurried down the slope to get off the donkey.

After Nishikawa Musashi walked away, Umezu Yoshijiro suddenly remembered a very serious question, and hurriedly asked Kimura Heutaro: "Kimura-kun, will this happen to the North Route Army?"

Chapter 999

"this!"

Kimura Heutaro was asked. He is not a god who can pinch and count. How could he know that there would be such a terrifying artillery cluster on the battlefield in northern Myanmar?

But when Umezu Yoshijiro asked here, Kimura Heutaro had to answer directly. After a moment of pondering, Kimura Heutaro said in an uncertain tone:

"According to the current intelligence analysis, this new type of artillery equipped by the Huaxia Army has strong firepower and strong maneuverability, but its rate of fire is relatively slow, and it consumes a lot of ammunition. Presumably, the cost of this new type of weapon will not be low. They have not yet Complete large-scale standard equipment.

Moreover, the Huaxia army is united on the surface, but in fact there are many factions with their own ulterior motives, and they are used to keeping their hands in battle, and they call it "keep the green hills without worrying about no firewood""

"The Huben army under Yang Fan's jurisdiction is self-contained, and has always been inseparable from the Nationalist government, so I think this new type of weapon should only be in the hands of Yang Fan at present, and it will not be used as a surprise soldier until the critical moment. It is not equipped.

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for the Huaxia army to keep the secrecy work so tight that the imperial intelligence network could not get any relevant information beforehand. "

"Sounds! What Kimura-kun said is very true. Such a huge consumption of ammunition must be a huge burden for the logistical supplies of the Chinese army!"

"Baga! Damn the Huaxia Army, the Imperial Japanese Army will definitely make you pay with your blood, and use your blood and life to pay homage to the heroic spirits of the empire's warriors!"

After listening to Kimura Hyoutaro's analysis, Umezu Yoshijiro felt a sense of enlightenment, and then an inexplicable flame of anger and hatred burst out of his heart.

After a pause, Umezu Yoshijiro continued: "There is a saying in Huaxia that 'sorry soldiers must win'. The imperial army suffered a shameful and despicable plot. Although the casualties were heavy and the morale was hit, it could also inspire the imperial army to reunite. The determination and courage to fight against the enemy."

Heitaro Kimura's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Yoshijiro Umezu worriedly and said, "Your Excellency, Commander, what do you mean?"

Umezu Yoshijiro said viciously: "That's right, the blood debt must be paid with blood. The 18th Army must step up its offensive and pay back in the shortest possible time."

The persimmons were picked softly, and Umezu Yoshijiro was full of anger and murderous aura now. Although he didn't dare to continue to force the Salween River defense line, the 18th Army on the North Road could vent his anger on the national army.

Heutaro Kimura nodded and said: "That's not a problem. In the northern battlefield, the national army is only facing two armies. Although their weapons and equipment are not bad, the imperial army still has an absolute crushing advantage.

As for the two Huaxia armies around the Dongzhi Jingdong defense line, it is a trouble, but it doesn't matter too much, because the Imperial Air Force can provide fire support at any time.

In addition, the elites of the Chinese Expeditionary Army are all on the battlefield in southern Myanmar. Although the 18th Army is facing twice the strength of the Chinese Army, even if these two Huaxia Army immediately go to support the defense line of Dongzhijingdong, the 18th Army must still More than enough to handle! "

"Suoga! The 18th Army has 3 Division A divisions, and its combat effectiveness is the strongest among the 4 armies!"

Umezu Yoshijiro nodded thoughtfully, and then said: "The southern battlefield, we must make some adjustments.

Before getting accurate information, the offensive on the Salween River defense line was temporarily suspended, but the positive pressure must be continued.

As for the Mawlamyine defense line, the imperial army must further strengthen its offensive strength, first smashing the Moulmein Fortress and the Motama City Fortress, and then launching a frontal attack from south to north. "

"What Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief said is very true, and this is currently the safest offensive strategy."

Hearing this, Kimura Heutaro heaved a sigh of relief, and thought to himself: Fortunately, not crazy!

The temporary command post of the 18th Army of the Japanese Army.

While Anda 23 was immersed in looking at the military map, a Japanese communication staff officer rushed over: "Report to Your Excellency, Commander, the General Headquarters of the Burmese Expeditionary Army has an urgent call."

"Fuck!"

Anda 23 nodded, then reached out to take the message and read it.

"Nani? The Huaxia Huben Army was equipped with a powerful new type of artillery, which caused the 19th Army's attack to suffer heavy casualties? What's going on here?"

After reading the telegram carefully, Anda 23 showed a pensive look.

The telegram did not mention the specific casualties of the 19th Army, it was simply mentioned, but Anda 23 smelled something very unusual.

The General Command specially sent an urgent telegram, emphasizing the new artillery, and reminding the 18th Army to be vigilant. The information contained in it is definitely not simple.

"Your Excellency, Commander, this is not surprising. The Chinese Expeditionary Force has received great assistance from the Americans, and it is only normal that they can obtain some advanced weapons and equipment."

After reading the telegram, Ji Yuanmo did not show any worry, and then analyzed: "Similarly, isn't the empire also stepping up the development of a series of advanced weapons, and many weapons and equipment have entered the trial production stage.

It is also said in the intelligence that the equipment of this new type of artillery is insufficient, and only a small amount is equipped by the Huben Army.Our top priority is to follow the orders of the general headquarters to capture the defense line of Dongzhijingdong in the fastest time, and contain a large number of Chinese troops in order to support the South Route Army to capture Yangon! "

"Yo Xi! It's me who was worrying too much! The order is passed on, and all ministries must step up their offensives and not give the Huaxia Army a chance to breathe. In addition, the Imperial Air Force will further strengthen its cooperation!"

Anda 23 nodded.

The 18th Army is actually under a lot of pressure. After all, it is a lone army that goes deep into the rear of the Huaxia Expeditionary Army, and it is a little weak in terms of weapons, equipment and logistical supplies.

There is no problem in a short period of time, but I am afraid of being swarmed by the Huaxia Army and playing desperately.

Especially now that the battle in the southern battlefield is not going well, if the combat progress cannot be completed as scheduled and the 18th Army cannot join forces smoothly, the 18th Army will definitely be in a dangerous situation of running out of ammunition and food.

The only thing that makes Anda 23 feel at ease is that the Japanese Air Force is very strong. It can not only provide powerful fire support to protect the 18th Army from the threat of the Chinese Air Force, but also airdrop supplies at critical moments to continue its life.

Buzzing, buzzing, it didn't take long for the Japanese air force that took off from military airports such as Bachi and Huai Ao in Thailand to fly to the defense line of Dongzhijingdong.

Horizontal bombers crazily dropped bombs and bombed cities and towns on a large scale, while dive bombers lowered their heights to carry out precise bombing of important military targets such as forts, bunkers, and anti-aircraft guns.

The 6th Army and the 66th Army, which had already suffered huge positive pressure, instantly amplified the pressure several times, causing panic for a while.

Chapter 1000 No comparison, no harm

Wangangshan Town, the headquarters of the 66th Army, the telephone transmitter kept ringing, and the messengers ran in and out, sending various telegrams and messages to the war room, and the entire military headquarters was in a panic.

"Report! The 38th Regiment of the newly formed 112th Division suffered heavy losses. The front line of defense has been broken by the Japanese army, and the whole regiment is in a hard fight!"

"Report! The new 28th Division suffered heavy losses from the bombing of the Japanese fleet!"

"Report! The newly formed 29th Division is divided and surrounded by the Japanese army. The Japanese army is stepping up their offensive. Please urgently!"

"Report! The Salween River Highway Bridge on the west side of Mengbin was blown up by Japanese aircraft, and our army was cut off from the 6th Army!"

"Report!……"

Bad news came one after another, Army Commander Zhang Zhen and more than a dozen staff officers were exhausted, they kept deducing and calculating on the map and combat sand table.

Zhang Zhen graduated from the 6th batch of Baoding Military Academy. Politically, he belongs to Cheng Qian's hilltop. Although he is older, because he is not the direct line of Chairman Jiang, he has been excluded and suppressed many times, especially after becoming the commander of the No.13 Army. Tang Enbo took the lead and called him "Puppet Army Commander".

This time the airborne 66th Army became the commander, and Zhang Zhen still couldn't get rid of the status quo of "puppet commander". Have to exercise the power of mediation.

Combat staff officer Xu Zhihui frowned, pointed at the sand table and said, "Army, the situation is not good! The devils are besieging our 66th Army with two divisions, and now they have blown up the road bridge leading to the 6th Army. We want to divide and encircle and annihilate our army."

Another combat staff officer quickly answered: "Yes, the devils are attacking the 29th Division with all their strength, once they break through the 29th Division's defense line, the devils can go around and cut off our army's retreat, and the consequences will be disastrous.

The crux of the problem is that the combat effectiveness of the 29th Division is the weakest division, and I'm afraid it won't last long! "

The 66th Army is a temporary army formed for the purpose of forming an expeditionary force. The newly-organized 38th Division is adapted from the Tax Police Headquarters of the Ministry of Finance. 28 It is adapted from the recruits of the Supplementary Training Department.

Before entering Myanmar to fight, the entire 66th Army had a stronger combat effectiveness than the newly formed 38th Division, and the remaining two divisions basically came to make up the numbers.

Although after entering Burma, the 66th Army has undergone several months of rest training and reequipment, and has greatly improved its weapons and equipment, but in terms of overall strength, it is still at the bottom of the expeditionary force and belongs to the weakest that ring.

Especially this time, facing the full-scale attack of the old Japanese Division A division with high morale, the 66th Army felt overwhelmed after only fighting for half a day.

"Army seat! Master Ma is calling again!"

Before Zhang Zhen could answer, a communications staff officer shouted at the top of his voice.

"I'm coming right now!"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhen quickly walked over to pick up the phone and said in a low voice, "Hello, Mr. Liu? I'm Zhang Zhen!"

As soon as Zhang Zhen's words fell, Ma Weiji on the phone cried and shouted: "Junzuo, it's not good! The devils have already attacked our division's right-wing position, and our division is in a hard fight. Please support immediately, otherwise we will not be able to withstand it." how long!"

Zhang Zhen frowned and said, "The 38th Division and the 29th Division are also under great pressure, where can I get reinforcements now?

Master Ma, please stick to your positions, the Japanese army doesn’t have much heavy equipment, and our army’s weapons and equipment are no worse than the Japanese army’s, as long as…”

However, before Zhang Zhen finished speaking, Ma Weiji hurriedly said: "Junzuo, our 29th Division has been attacked by a whole division of devils, how do you let us hold on?

Even if we are nailed to the position, there is no way to stop the Japanese attack!Junzuo, you can't just ignore death, if our 29th Division is gone, the 66th Army will have to be dumped by devils! "

"Mr. Ma, don't worry!"

Zhang Zhen was really out of temper. Normally, these teachers are five people and six people. On the surface, they are very respectful to him, but in fact they don't take him seriously at all. At this time, he is asked to take responsibility .

Of course, these are not the key, the key is that Zhang Zhen really doesn't understand what is going on now! ,

At any rate, the 66th Army has more than 3 people, and it has already been replaced with new American equipment. The firearms and artillery are stronger than the Japanese army, and they have a solid position to rely on. It stands to reason that they should be very strong. ah.

In addition, judging from various previous battle examples, after the weapons and equipment are improved, the combat effectiveness of the troops will also increase.

For example, a regiment of the Huben Army could hold out in the small city of Ye for two days, forcibly blocking the frontal attack of a Japanese division.

A division of the Huben Army can force a Japanese division in the field. Isn't this because of the powerful weapons and equipment?

Of course, Zhang Zhen still had self-knowledge. From the very beginning, he didn't think that the 66th Army and the 6th Army could have the tough combat power of the Huben Army and could forcibly block the attack of the Japanese 18th Army.

However, the two full-staffed U.S. armed forces stood on the front line of Dongzhi Jingdong for ten days and half a month, and at the same time caused heavy casualties to the Japanese army. Zhang Zhen still had some confidence in this.

However, the cold facts in front of him were deeply slapped in the face!

Sure enough, he complied with this sentence: no comparison, no harm. At this moment, Zhang Chen's heart was full of sadness, and he didn't know how to complain!

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Zhen hurriedly comforted: "Mr. Ma, please stick to your position, I will dispatch troops to reinforce the 29th Division as soon as possible!

Also, we are requesting reinforcements from the 71st Corps and Air Force, which I am sure will be here soon! "

If you don't understand it, you can't understand it, if you don't understand it, you can't help it, but Zhang Zhen is really afraid that the 29th Division will completely collapse in a short period of time, which will lead to the annihilation of the 66th Army.

In Zhang Zhen's view, even if the 66th Army will eventually lose to the Japanese army, it must not be defeated so uglyly. Why should it last for two or three days?

"It's better to be like this, otherwise, even if our 29th Division is all killed, it won't last long!"

Ma Weiji responded helplessly, not because he didn't want to block the devils or defend the position, but because the combat effectiveness of the entire division was really weak.

Under the indiscriminate bombing and relentless attack by the devils, these new recruits who were fighting a tough battle for the first time could not display their due combat effectiveness at all, and were beaten before they found the feeling.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Zhen began to call the 38th Division and the 29th Division, asking them to allocate part of their troops to support the 29th Division, but they were resolutely rejected. Both divisions said that it is difficult for the mud Buddha to cross the river now. .

As a last resort, Zhang Zhen could only send the only remaining guard regiment of the military headquarters to the 29th Division.

Chapter 1001 Ashamed of them

The combat staff officer Xu Zhihui said worriedly: "Army seat, the guard regiment is the only mobile force that our military headquarters can directly mobilize, and it is also the last security guarantee of our military headquarters.

If all the troops are dispatched to reinforce the 29th Division, if the devils have a small group of troops passing through to the rear, wouldn't our military headquarters be overwhelmed? "

Xu Zhihui's worries are not unfounded, but have a considerable basis in reality.

The military headquarters of the 66th Army was established in Wangangshan Town, more than [-] kilometers away from the frontline positions, but seriously, this distance is really not safe.

Not to mention that the devils can drop paratroopers and behead them. The devils are also very good at infiltrating small groups of troops. With a distance of more than [-] kilometers, it only takes two or three hours for the infantry to march in a hurry.

"Then what do you say?"

Zhang Zhen glared at Xu Zhihui angrily, how could he not know the strength of it, but now he has no other cards to play except for the guard group that he can command.

As for the retreat of the whole army, it is definitely not possible now, because he really can't bear the blame.

Once the word "retreat" comes out of his mouth, not only will the soldier's honor be ruined, but even his wealth and life may be at stake.

"this!"

Xu Zhihui was stunned by the question, a smart woman can't cook without rice, and he, a mere combat staff officer, has no way to deal with this dangerous situation.

"Okay! Stop talking nonsense if there is no better way!"

Zhang Zhen waved his hands impatiently, and then said in a hasty tone: "Instead of standing here helpless, you might as well go and urge the 71st Army and the 6th Army to send troops to rescue as soon as possible, and let the Air Force come to fire as soon as possible." support.

In addition, send electricity to the commander's headquarters, truthfully inform us of the difficult situation of the 66th Army, and ask General Stilwell and Commander Yang to send a fast mobile force to rescue the scene as soon as possible. "
