Chapter five hundred and seventy-third the phobia of the Japanese army
Chief Executive Stilwell needs to answer the phone number from Yangon. Wang Mingyu's orderly report that Wang Mingyu has already stationed his troops in Mandalay. At the same time, Zhang Deen and other troops have also begun to set off from the country and are slowly advancing towards Mandalay.
Wang Mingyu was chatting with Du Yuming and Wu Peilin and others. Listening to this, he directly answered the phone. Du Yu Mingming and him are now on the same boat as him, so there is no need to deliberately avoid him at this moment.
Speaking of which, although Chairman Jiang arranged for Lieutenant General Stilwell to coordinate the overall situation, in fact, Wang Mingyu's rank is the second-level general of the army, and Stilwell's rank is the lieutenant general. According to theory, Stilwell must salute when he sees Wang Mingyu.
However, Stilwell relied on his American attitude and treated himself as a commander and spoke to Wang Mingyu. Stilwell's somewhat authentic Chinese came from the microphone: Commander-in-Chief Wang, I am Stilwell
Hello General Stilwell, I am Wang Mingyu, 318 Group Army, Wang Mingyu said in a low voice
That's right, I was invited by your Commander-in-Chief Jiang to come to Myanmar to command the battle just now. In my discussion with General Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army, General Alexander proposed that our Chinese Expeditionary Force and the British Allied Army jointly dealt a major blow to the Japanese army in Tonggu. In my opinion, this battle of Tonggu is also necessary, so that we can fight the prestige of our Chinese Expeditionary Force, Stilwell was the first to say.
Why is the name Tonggu Battle so familiar? Wang Mingyu thought in his heart, could it be that the British have always wanted to escape in history, and the Tonggu Battle was not fought. But it was one time and another. Of course, Wang Mingyu would not be afraid of any tricks from the British. Now he has absolute initiative, even if the British leave, it doesn't matter.
Wang Mingyu chuckled softly: I just saw the location of Tonggu on the map. It is very important. It can be used well and can give a certain blow to the Japanese army. But it depends on the attitude of the British cooperation and how they plan.
Stilwell said: This time General Alexander thinks it is an opportunity and decides to let the Chinese Expeditionary Force show your strength. They are determined to defend the right wing of the defense zone, and you are responsible for the play and the left area.
Wang Mingyu looked at the map and said: Who is Ren'anqiang in the east of the ancient times to defend? Is it difficult for us to defend? Do you think our troops are a bit stretched? It seems that General Alexander does not have much sincerity.
Stilwell said with a gloomy face: Commander-in-Chief Wang, I think you are wrong. This is the battle discussed by our Allied Command. We carefully planned and prepared. Could it be that you want to disobey the order? The soldiers are obeying the order as their duty.
Wang Mingyu said: General Stilwell is right. The soldiers are indeed obedient to orders. But the orders we obey are to obey our country's leaders, not selfish villains like Alexander, who can see that the British army has tens of thousands of people, being chased by the Japanese army, and now they are proudly saying that they give us a chance.
General Stilwell said: Allies, the Allies mean the joint army. If they are all suspicious like Commander-in-Chief Wang, then what is the purpose of our visit to Myanmar? Will we just stick to one side like this, and watch the Japanese monkeys attack in?
Wang Mingyu said in a strong tone: General Stilwell, I think you are wrong. This time our main task is to defend our Yunnan-Burma Highway, and Mandalay is one of the only roads for the Japanese army. We defended Mandalay, which means guarding the Yunnan-Burma Highway. Now we have also arranged a lot of air defense facilities in this area, and the purpose is to prevent Japanese aircraft from raiding the Yunnan-Burma Highway.
Stilwell was so angry that he knew that he seemed to be the chief, and it seemed that it would not work. Stilwell gritted his teeth and said: If you refuse to cooperate with the Allied forces, then General Alexander will cancel the transportation rights of the China Yunnan-Burma Highway, and even the right to use will be a loss. I hope Commander-in-Chief Wang can also consider it carefully.
Wang Mingyu said: The battle between Tonggu is to be fought, but how to fight, you cannot unilaterally decide General Stilwell is the chief of staff of our Chinese theater and is one of the commanders of the Allied forces this time. I think General Stilwell should be clear about our current situation. Once we are surrounded by the Japanese army in Tonggu, then Mandalay behind us will open its doors. What will be the consequences at that time? I believe General Stilwell also knows.
Stilwell shook his head helplessly: Now it seems that I have to go to Mandalay in person and talk to you. After that, General Stilwell hung up the phone. Now Yangon is no longer safe, and the Japanese army can break through their defense at any time.
As for why the Japanese army did not break through Yangon, it was because this time the Japanese army received information from the base camp. This time, they went to Myanmar. The elite Chinese army 318 Army was a lingering shadow. Although these Japanese divisions were all transferred from the empire, they were unstoppable along the way and did not take Wang Mingyu and his 318 Army seriously.
However, the top leaders of the Japanese army did not dare to be careless at all. Although they were able to conquer Yangon, the situation is very unclear. They don’t know if the 318th Army has been deployed on the front line of Yangon. However, the intelligence department quickly gave a reply. That is, the current observation is that the 318th Army seems to be deploying defenses on the front line of Mandalay. Yangon City is basically the British team members.
The commander of the Japanese 55th Division, Takeuchi Hiroshima, commander of the Japanese 56th Division, was hesitating at the moment whether to launch an attack on Yangon and capture Yangon at the same time. Due to the joining of the 318th Army, the entire Myanmar battlefield has become a little confusing.
Report to the division commander and commander, the commander, telegram to the commander, and the orderly soldiers report to Yusan Matsuyama.
Order the 56th Division of the Empire to launch a full-scale attack on Yangon at noon tomorrow. The 55th Division must take Yangon within three days.
Yuzo Matsuyama held the telegram in his hand and thought a lot in his mind. At this moment, he already knew that the Yangon area was just a territory for the British. At this moment, as long as there was no 318th Army, he felt a little more at ease.
Report, the commander of Takeuchi Hiroshi's division arrived
Matsuyama, I haven't seen you for a long time. Takeuchi Kuang came in and greeted Yuzo Matsuyama who was staring blankly on the map.
Takeuchi, I'm worried now, Matsuyama Yuzo said in embarrassment
Oh, is it because it is to capture Yangon? I don’t think there is anything to worry about this matter. We must be able to complete the task assigned by the commander. Hiroshi Takeuchi said indifferently
Takeuchi, what I am worried about is not the people from Yangon, but the information about the 318th Army behind them. Others may not know. Don’t we know yet? This time I heard that the 318th Army has strengthened its strength again. I am afraid that we will have the will but not have enough strength at that time. Yuzumatsu Matsuyama shrugged helplessly.
Mr. Matsushita, I'm not to hide it from you. I've always been worried about this issue. At that time, the 318th Army defeated the imperial team with 60,000 people. Several of them were our old division regiments. They were finally beaten and suffered countless casualties. Now, many division commanders in the Empire are terrified when facing the 318th Army. Our trip to Myanmar is very difficult. Takeuchi Hiroshi said that he was sincere.
Takeuchi, it is not the time for us to complain about Yangon. In fact, it means we have captured Myanmar. If it really doesn't work, we can surround the 318th Army in Mandalay area. Yuzuma Matsuyama pointed at Mandalay area with his hands and forcefully.
I don't know if the headquarters has any good solutions for this matter. Now our army has only about 100,000 troops in Myanmar. If it is really the 318th Army, I'm afraid the empire's strategic intentions will be difficult to achieve. If we cannot destroy the Chinese transportation supply line, then even if our plan fails, it seems that this battle is inevitable. Takeuchi Hiroshi shook his head helplessly.
In fact, neither of them wants to meet the 318 Army. There are many reasons. The main reason is that the strength of the 318 Army has made them afraid. If the Japanese army does not have the 318 Army, they are very confident in taking Myanmar and winning the entire Myanmar battlefield. But now everything may change.
The Japanese army has now begun to continuously study and implement their own tactics based on the emergence of the 318th Army. They still hope that their troops can achieve the intention of the entire operation and control the entire Myanmar. The point-down Burma Highway completely seals China in its own country, cut off all foreign aid, and let them finally break their own destruction.
However, now I am afraid that their combat intentions will be difficult to achieve. The emergence of the 318th Army destroyed their original plan. The commander of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army, Yoshijiro Iida, was communicating with the base camp at this moment.
If they could not fully pay attention to the 318th Army before, then now they could not help but ignore the battle of Wuhan, and eliminated the last little glory of the Japanese army. At this moment, they had only fear and anxiety in their hearts when facing the 318th Army because they didn't know how much energy the 318th Army could burst out.
Although the Japanese army's intelligence system has penetrated into the National Government, they actually have no ability. Infiltrating the 318th Army, there may be one or two intelligence personnel to mingle in, but the 318th Army is too big. Many measures are very strict. Even if it is a Japanese army's spy, it is almost impossible to bring communication tools in.
Moreover, the 318th Army will organize regular reviews, and even the Military Control Bureau is difficult to insert them. However, the Military Control Bureau is not as easy to investigate as the Japanese spy personnel. There are still some people in the 318th Army.
The pilot division of the 318th Army's tank division field artillery division and other groups were selected by a group of old 318th Army. The confidentiality measures for foreign countries are quite strict. Therefore, even if the intelligence personnel discovered it, they can only know that the current Japanese army is like this, and they can only know that the
In the intelligence output by the Japanese spies, they used some possible words, for example, the 318th Army now has more than 100,000 people, the 318th Army has formed their own flight troops, the specific number is unknown, etc. These information may have seemed very useful before.
But now it seems that these are almost the same as nonsense. The unknown things are all fearful. The Japanese army is now preparing to go to war with the unknown 318th Army. How could they not have some thoughts in their minds?
Yusan Matsuyama and Kura Takeuchi actually have no doubts about taking Yangon. At this moment, they have considered what to develop in the future. Yusan Matsuyama pointed out the two places of Guren Anqiang.
Takeuchi Jun, these two places must be taken down, so that Mandalay can cut off the road toward south, and at least suppress the 318th Army on the Mandalay line, and their supply line will be compressed as much as possible. At least we have achieved more than half of the strategic goal. Matsuyama Yuzo said to Takeuchi Hiroshi
The strategic locations of these two places are very important. I think it will cost us a lot to take over these two places. Urban street fighting is not what our army is good at. This time we can only do our best to do our best to takeuchi Kazuna nod and said,
At this moment, Iida Yoshiro was also actively reporting to the Imperial Headquarters, asking whether the troops fighting in southern China could attack the 318 Army on both sides, but this question is still under the consideration of the Japanese Command. There will be gains and losses. If the troops are gathered to attack the 318 Army, then the area they occupied will basically be recaptured by the Chinese Army.
However, the Japanese commander-in-chief had to consider another possibility, that is, if the battlefield in Myanmar fails, their entire strategic intentions will basically not be realized, which means that what they are doing now is useless. This really makes the Japanese commander-in-chief a little embarrassed.
Of course, it is not just the only thing that is difficult for this. The Japanese army has been decreasing. Although they are still forming troops and are being formed on a large scale, their combat effectiveness is no match for the previous troops. Now they urgently need to take over China, so that they can achieve remarkable achievements in the future battlefield, otherwise they will be in vain.
Three days later, the Japanese army captured Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, and the battle with the ancient times was imperative.
