"Beautiful fight! Good fight! Cool fight!"

After saying hello three times, he let out a long sigh of relief. Commissar Jiang's brows relaxed, as if eating a piece of iced watermelon in the dog days, the boulder in his heart fell steadily to the ground!

When Generalissimo Jiang put down the telegram contentedly, Chen Cheng, who had long been impatient, snatched the telegram away and read it with wide-eyed eyes.

Bai Chongxi, He Yingqin, Yu Jishi and the others were a little bit too late, but they didn't wait, they all moved over and crowded together to watch.

Chapter 1042 Stand tall to see far

"Excuse me! Excuse me!"

"Let me see it too!"

Other military and political officials such as Xu Yongchang, Shui Jingjie, Liu Sheng, etc. were also flustered at the moment, no longer caring about their personal image and huddled together, and ran behind Chen Cheng and others, wanting to have a glimpse.

"This is impossible."

After reading the telegram twice, Chen Cheng was still full of disbelief, and murmured in confusion:

"Yesterday, the entire Huaxia Expeditionary Army was beaten like a dog by the Japanese army. They lost the two important towns of Lashio and Bagu one after another. All the information showed that the defeat in the Burmese theater was doomed. How could it be that overnight, the Huaxia Expeditionary Army suddenly Became alive and well, and caused more than [-] casualties to the Japanese army in just a few hours?"

"Yeah, it's too risky to counterattack in an all-round way at this time! It's too risky!"

"It is already the limit for the Huaxia Expeditionary Army to hold on to their positions for a while, but now they are suddenly giving up their strengths and choosing their weaknesses. Is there really a chance of winning?"

"But don't be self-defeating!"

There are not a few people who have the same thoughts as Chen Cheng. Although the words are scorching and the information is personally approved by Dai Li, they still find it hard to believe that Yang Fan can really turn the corner.

"This is really incredible!"

"However, doesn't Yang Fan always like to do this? Haha!"

"That's right. Yang Fan has always been a hawk when he doesn't see a rabbit. Since he made such a big commotion, it's bound to happen."

It's hard to imagine, how!

Chen Cheng turned his head to look at Dai Li and asked, "Brother Yu Nong, with such a big commotion, it stands to reason that you should have received the information as soon as the general offensive started? Why is there no news until now?"

"I am ashamed to say this!"

Dai Li's old face blushed slightly and said: "Before launching the strategic counterattack, Yang Fan took extremely strict secrecy measures. Not only did he strictly order the commanders of all combat units to keep secrets and not communicate with the outside world, but he also sent troops to detain all our intelligence personnel. Now they are free! '

Chen Cheng stared and said, "What? Are you saying that the intelligence personnel of your military command have been monitored and controlled? How did they do it?"

Chen Cheng was extremely astonished. He was well aware of Dai Li's ability and the power of the spy network of the military command and the central command.

In the past, Yang Fan was able to keep the Shandong peninsula watertight, so that’s all. After all, it was his old lair that he had been running for a long time. Now the Burma theater is so watertight?

Dai Li nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, Yang Fan's intelligence work is really great. We have not been rivals at all these years, whether it is in the Shandong Peninsula or today's Burma, whether it is our military command or the Central Command. The intelligence system has nowhere to hide."

Chen Cheng continued to complain: "Dare to detain the intelligence personnel of the party and state, what is this Yang Fan trying to do? Really regard Myanmar as his independent kingdom?"

"And how did he get so much technical equipment? Could it be that he secretly seized a large amount of military aid materials that originally belonged to the Nationalist government?"

"Okay! Now is not the time to talk about this!"

The building is getting more and more crooked, but Generalissimo Jiang's thoughts are all on the sudden outbreak of the counterattack in the Burma theater, eagerly looking forward to more and better news, as for other side details at this time, how can he hear it? go in?

Generalissimo Jiang hurriedly waved his hand and interrupted:

"Yunong, please notify me immediately. You must pay close attention to everything that is happening in Myanmar. Any new information must be reported as soon as possible. I want to fully grasp the first-hand information!"

"Yes! I'll do it now!"

Dai Li quickly took orders and left.

Chairman Jiang then looked at Zhang Zhizhong and said, "Wen Bai, immediately send an inquiry message to Lin Wei, Du Yuming, Gan Lichu, and Zhong Bin in my name. I want to know the ins and outs of the whole incident!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhizhong quickly nodded in response.

"This battle must be won, and it must not be lost!"

Seeing the back of Zhang Zhizhong's departure, Commissar Jiang was full of longing and expectation. If the counterattack was successful, the Yunnan-Burma Highway would be regained in one fell swoop, and the Japanese Burmese dispatched troops would be severely damaged.

Then this will undoubtedly be a shot in the arm to boost the morale of the army and the people. It will not only bring great benefits, but also deter the increasingly crazy wave of surrender and treason in the country.

Tandebin Town, the defensive position of the 9th Regiment of the Huben Expeditionary Force.

"It's cool, the five-spice beef jerky is still chewy, delicious and hungry!"

Long Wenwen stuffed the last big piece of beef jerky into his mouth, chewed vigorously for a while, and then took a big gulp of the energy drink. Then he asked with a mean smile to Niu Bo who was smoking Huazi next to him. road:

"Regimental seat, the armored brigade, the 6th brigade of our division, and the brothers of the 4th division are all pressing up. When will our regiment be able to follow up and eat meat?"

Niu Bo's eyes were bloodshot. After he vomited a smoke ring, he managed to force a smile and said, "Eat meat? Aren't you eating meat in large chunks now? How come half a catty of luncheon meat plus half a catty of beef jerky is not enough?" Still can't fill your stomach?"

Long Wenwen blinked his eyes and said, "Tuan Zuo, you understand!"

"If you're a big man, don't flirt with me! Why don't I want to rush out and kill the devils to avenge my dead brothers?"

Niu Bo waved his hand, and said seriously: "But more than half of our brigade suffered casualties, and the rest of the brothers are seriously overstretched until now. What are we going to use to fight the devils now? What's more, all of them have gone out, and the safety of the ancient city and the military headquarters are still in danger." And who will guard it?"

Why didn't Niu Bo want to use up his remaining courage to chase down the poor bandits, why didn't he want to follow the main force to wipe out the devil soldiers, and vent the grievance accumulated these days.

But strength does not allow it!

"Hey, it's better for the group seat to see far and see clearly, I'm just talking about it! Brothers really should take a good rest!"

Long Wenwen smiled brightly, then looked into the distance and said brokenly: "I hope all the brothers can come back alive, we have shed enough blood!"

Niu Bo took a deep breath and said, "Yes, our Chinese nation has shed enough blood, but the little devil is still strong, and the Axis Alliance still holds an absolute advantage in the world.

We still have a long way to go, I hope all brothers can live to see the day of victory!When the Anti-Japanese War is won, we will fight side by side together and strive for the rise of the Chinese nation for the rest of our lives! "

Only by standing high and seeing far, has absorbed a lot of advanced knowledge and theories. After long-term exposure, Niu Bo's outlook on life, world outlook, values, and life pattern are much better than most people in the country today. It's a set!

Chapter 1043 Dilemma

Menghe Town.

"Baga, how come there are so many tanks in the Chinese army?"

"Didn't it be said that the Chinese army was about to collapse and flee?"

Standing on a small high ground holding binoculars, I saw that the battlefield in the distance was almost one-sided massacres. The commander of the Japanese 15th Army, Masazo Kawabe, had a livid face and trembling all over!

After being woken up at four o'clock in the morning, Masamune Kawabe saw a vast number of rocket launchers and light bombs, and then witnessed the "insanity" of the Huaxia bomber fleet!

For three full hours, all kinds of bad news kept coming, and every bad news was like a sharp dagger stuck in it.

"Bagayalu!"

Kawabe Shozo squeezed out a Japanese curse again from his teeth, and a very ominous premonition suddenly surged in his heart, it's over, this time he fell into Yang Fan's trick again! "

"Didn't it mean that the technical equipment of the Huaxia Expeditionary Army has been exhausted?

"Didn't it mean that the Huaxia Expeditionary Force is about to give up Burma?"

"Bagayalu, with so many tanks, so many cannons, and so many combat aircraft, does this also mean that the technical equipment has been exhausted?"

"Liar, big liar! Can you be more shameless? What about the good faith?"

"Baga! I already knew that Yang Fan is not a guy who gives up easily. I have already reminded the general army headquarters. Why do I still insist on fighting the war of attrition with the Huaxia Expeditionary Army?"

Hebian Zhengsan was full of resentment, thousands of thoughts kept spinning in his mind, thinking about what to do next, whether to continue to wait for help, or to run decisively!

Originally, the 19th Army, the 15th Army and the 20th Army attacking in the direction of Yangon were only more than 100 kilometers apart, and there was a road in the middle.

Therefore, even though the 19th Army's offensive was not smooth and the casualties and consumption were huge, Kawabe Masamune was always at ease.

He wishfully thought that even if Yang Fan wanted to play defensive and counterattack routines, he could easily and happily hold on until reinforcements arrived.Then cooperate with reinforcements to carry out anti-encirclement and suppression.

Therefore, after Hebian Zhengsan felt that he could not successfully attack Tonggu, Hebian Zhengsan began to openly build plank roads and secretly conceal Chencang. The frontline offensive appeared to be uninterrupted, but in fact the intensity of the offensive was greatly reduced, and an extremely strong fortification system was built in the rear. .

However, the powerful artillery group, bomber group and tank armored force of the Huben Army crushed Kawabe Masamune's wishful thinking.

The advance speed of the Huaxia Huben Army was too fast and too fierce. It broke through five or six lines of defense in less than half an hour at the beginning of the game, and advanced as much as 17 kilometers horizontally.

It wasn't until Menghe Town, a well-constructed defensive position that had not suffered saturation bombing, that the 12th and 43rd Divisions of the Devils, who were fighting their last stand, could barely block the attacking pace of the armored forces.

The 19th Division and 14th Division of the 44th Army have been divided into more than a dozen small battlefields, and are currently being encircled and suppressed by the Chinese Huben Army. It is only a matter of time before they are completely destroyed.

Even so, Hebian Zhengsanyi was still full of hope, and he was still holding on to "willing to tear himself up and dare to pull the emperor off his horse", and wanted to take this opportunity to hold back the second army of the Huben Expedition.

Because the Burmese dispatched army to attack Yangon still has nearly 20 troops, and there are two aces in the air force and navy that can be played, so Kawabe Masamune feels that there is a chance of "fighting for a bicycle to become a motorcycle".

But it didn't take long for the 31st Army and the 22nd Army to make Kawabe Shozo fall into the bottom of the valley.

After the decisive battle broke out, the 31st Army and the 22nd Army, which retreated to the jungle, formed a joint combat force, and under the cover of the support of the Huben Rocket Force and the Armored Tank Force, they launched a general offensive immediately.

In just over an hour, the two armies regained the lost ground on the west bank of the Xidang River one after another, and attacked the east bank in one breath, cutting off the retreat route of the 19th Army and blocking the traffic arteries for the 15th Army and the 20th Army to go north to support !

In this way, the 19th Army was divided and surrounded, and there was a life-and-death crisis of being completely annihilated!

After two hours of hard work, the Japanese Air Force, which Masazo Kawabe had placed high hopes on, finally came to the rescue, but what disappointed him was that the Huaxia Air Force was already prepared and intercepted it before the Japanese Air Force arrived.

A large-scale air battle broke out in an instant over the 19th Army defense zone!

Although during this period, the Japanese Air Force worked hard and caused heavy casualties to both the Huaxia Air Force and ground forces, but it could not change the critical situation in which the 19th Army was besieged and divided.

Yoji Ichikawa looked at Masazo Kawabe, who was cloudy and uncertain, and persuaded again: "Your Excellency, the Chinese Expeditionary Army has a big plan this time. They are not only our 19th Army, but the entire Myanmar Expeditionary Army!

Now we can't count on the 15th and 20th armies to come to the rescue, let alone the 2nd army in the anti-encirclement and annihilation of the Tiger Ben expedition, because they are too busy to take care of themselves! "

"..."

Hebian Zhengsan gritted his teeth and remained silent, because even if he decides to break out and escape now, it is not so easy, and it is very likely that this decision will cause a chain reaction, causing the Burmese dispatched army to suffer greater casualties!

With fierce tigers descending from the north and hungry wolves blocking the way, the 19th Army was left with only the east and west directions to break through.

To the west is a relatively flat jungle area, which seems to be very convenient for running, but if you break out from here to seek your own death, you will only fall into the desperate situation of death.

So if it decides to break through, the 19th Army can only flee to the east of the high and densely forested Bennong Mountains.This is a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of kilometers. If you go east, you can go all the way to Thailand.

If it is the nearest route, you only need to walk more than 100 kilometers of mountain roads to reach the plains in southeastern Myanmar.

However, Hebian Zhengsan deeply suspected that in this high and densely forested Bennong Mountain Range, the elusive Chinese special forces had already ambushed in advance, and they were just waiting for them to go.

For the danger of the jungle and the nausea of ​​the jungle ambush, Kawabe Masamune still has lingering fears!

And even if they can successfully cross the Bennong Mountains and reach the plains in southeastern Myanmar, it will be three to five days later.

Who knows at that time, will the Huaxia Expeditionary Army have already advanced to that place, waiting for them to go out to die?

Therefore, even if you choose to break through immediately, it requires great courage and determination.

"Let's send a telegram to the General Army Command to request tactical guidance!"

After thinking and thinking, Kawabe Shozo still couldn't make up his mind, so he could only throw the blame out and let the commander-in-chief Yoshijiro Umezu make a decision!

"Hay!"

Ichikawa Yuji could only nod his head, because the amount of information was not enough, it was really difficult to make the most favorable decision.

Chapter 1044

After Yoji Ichikawa walked away, Masao Kawabe turned his head and looked at Yukio Kasahara, commander of the 12th Division of the Japanese Army, and said, "Mr. Kasahara, before the General Army Command issues a new combat order, please be sure to stick to the last line." Defense line, please!"

After finishing speaking, Kawabe Shozo bowed deeply to Yukio Kasahara.

"Hayi! Please rest assured, Commander, the Imperial Warriors of the 12th Division will never disappoint Commander, and will definitely make the Chinese army pay the price in blood!"

Yukio Kasahara nodded emphatically, and walked away quickly and arrogantly.

At present, the 19th Army is already in a crisis situation surrounded by the north and the south, but Yukio Kasahara is still very confident. This stems from the fact that the 12th Division still has a strong strength.

The 12th Division, also known as the Kurume Division, was established in 1898. It has jurisdiction over the 12th Infantry Brigade and the 24th Infantry Brigade. It is also equipped with a field artillery regiment, an independent mountain artillery regiment, and two field heavy artillery regiments. , one for the anti-aircraft artillery wing, and one for the tank wing.

As a veteran Class A division, the 12th Division has always been an important division when it launched aggression and expansion against China.

Kawabe Shozo is the former head of the 12th Division and the old superior of Yukio Kasahara, so he has a special feeling for the 12th Division.

Therefore, in this attack on the Tonggu city, Kawabe Masamune kept the 12th Division school hidden and used it as the last trump card of the 19th Army, and never participated in the war of attrition on the Tonggu front.

So so far, the other three divisions have suffered a lot of damage, but the 12th division has been preserved quite intact, with a total strength of 2 people!

"Everyone, don't panic. The Huaxia army is actually just at the end of its strength. As long as we withstand their offensive, they will lose all vigor and fall into a state of weakness!"

"Not only the 15th Army and the 20th Army are going north to support us, but the air force and navy of the Empire of Japan are advancing with all their strength. Soon we will be able to carry out an anti-encirclement and annihilation campaign against the Chinese army!"
