Chapter 589: The Battle of Yunnan and Burma (thirteen)

So far, the most depressing thing is not Iida Xiangjiro, but the Wild Cang Wolf and his special forces. Why do you say that, the Wild Cang Wolf and the Special Forces Brigade have just had a fire. It is an opportunity to eliminate one of Kuang Anhua's battalions in the right-wing defense zone.

However, Zhang Deen's large army destroyed the plan. When the wild Canglang thought of showing his skills with Gu Qu, he once again found that the situation this time was actually not much different from the situation in the right wing defense zone. This time, the Chinese Army once again had to attack the two divisions of the 55th Division and the 56th Division.

In large-scale battles, the special forces can indeed perform at an extraordinary level, but it is obviously unlikely to make the battle situation in such places where aircraft and cannons fly all over the sky. Until now, the Wild Wolf has not had a good chance to fight with the special forces brigade of the 18th Army.

If we can really fight, then the Wild Cang Wolf feels that failure is not important. The Wild Cang Wolf itself has an optimistic attitude towards the empire's war from optimism to pessimistic. Especially when he saw that the Chinese army actually had such powerful troops, he felt a little discouraged.

The reason for this feeling is not the mistake of the Wild Cang Wolf, but is determined by the reality. When Japan was full of optimistic attitudes, the Wild Cang Wolf was not so optimistic. The 18th Army can now control the outcome of a battle.

Such strength is enough to make the Japanese army frightened. In fact, if we want to talk about the 18th Army, in Chairman Chiang's opinion, the 18th Army and other people will make a profit by killing any Japanese army. Originally, Chairman Chiang did not expect such a strong and powerful force to appear. With the emergence of the 18th Army, the entire battlefield has always maintained a kind of competitiveness.

At least there are still troops who can stalemate with the Japanese army or even attack the opponent. The 55th Division and the 56th Division received the news that they had taken Tonggu. Although the two division commanders believed that this time it would be impossible to be defeated by the Chinese army, they also had a vague concern in their hearts.

Especially the news that the 33rd Division was destroyed was more like an unacceptable fact. The focus of the two divisions is how to take Tonggu. In fact, when Zhang Deen's troops came to Tonggu, the Japanese army already knew that. The two division commanders were now a little shaken.

At this time, being able to defeat Tonggu is undoubtedly a blow to the Chinese army. But who will fight this blow? The two division commanders were shirking the responsibility. In fact, they also knew that no matter who fought, the first attacker would definitely suffer heavy losses, so for the benefit of their own division, neither of them was willing to attack first.

However, this stalemate was not long, and it was interrupted by a telegram from Yoshiro Iida. The two sides decided to fight together. The two division commanders were of the same level and no one could command each other. At this time, Yoshiro Iida played the role of a commander and temporarily resolved the conflict between the two of them invisibly.

After all, the two of them are now in a relationship of prosperity and loss. The most urgent task now is not who has suffered small losses, but who can win the Tonggu first.

The commander of the 55th Division, Takeuchi Hiroshi, said to the head of the 56th Division, Bianpio, "Watanabe, it seems that the military headquarters is also extremely anxious! Only by uniting together can we have the opportunity to attack these Chinese troops and bring huge influence to the empire's holy war."

Watanabe Maibo said: "Takeuchi, the power of the Chinese army has exceeded ours now. If we force an attack at this time, it would be a bit unworthy of the loss! Our best arrangement now is to hold our troops and wait for the Chinese army to attack us. In fact, the Chinese army also wants to fight us, right?"

Takeuchi Kuang nodded and said, "Yes, although this is the reason. But now General Iida has been given a dead end by the imperial command. At this time, it is probably you and I who can save the general!"

Watanabe Mifu said helplessly: "In fact, this time our biggest enemy is not the Chinese Expeditionary Force, but actually the members of the 18th Army!"

Takeuchi Hiroshi said: "At present, our enemies are increasing. It seems that this time it is either you die or I die! Our two divisions should not have any prejudice. Only when we work together can we win Tonggu. Increase the possibility of the empire's combat plan in Southeast Asia!"

Watanabe Peabo said: "There are the special forces wings of the Wild Canglang this time. Our two divisions suffered a great loss in the special forces of the Chinese army before. As long as there is the special forces of the Wild Canglang, I believe we and the Chinese army still have a considerable chance."

Takeuchi Hiroshi said: "Watanabe Jun means using the special forces to restrain the special forces of the Chinese army? Then we seek a decisive battle with the main force of the Chinese army. This is a good choice!"

Watanabe Maifu said: "The strength of the 18th Army is unquestionable. Any troops that underestimate theirs have paid a very heavy price. We must not be able to make any mistakes in this regard. Now we have no advantage. All we have is our loyalty to the empire and His Majesty the Emperor."

Takeuchi nodded and said seriously: "This decisive battle is related to the life and death of our two divisions and even the entire empire. We must not make any mistakes. However, the failure of the 33rd Division is also a great blow to us. The morale of the soldiers below is not very high. I am afraid that this will affect our combat effectiveness in the long run."

Watanabe Maifu said: "This will definitely have an impact, but the imperial plan is our foundation. Morale is constantly accumulated in victory. Why is the morale of the 18th Army so high? It is also accumulated in their long-term struggle. As long as we can defeat them once, their morale will inevitably fall to a low point. At that time, our opportunity will come."

In the command of the 18th Army of Tonggu, in fact, it is still difficult to encircle and annihilate the two Japanese divisions this time, but Zhang Deen and Wu Peilin believe that this difficulty is not very difficult. Now they have the advantage of the right time, place, and people, and the Japanese army poses little threat to them.

This time they would never plan to let go of this group of Japanese troops. Only by eating up these two divisions can they achieve a decisive victory on the entire battlefield of Myanmar. At this time, they were in the Japanese imperial command.

The Deputy Chief of Staff is sending a power to General Hata Shin-six General Hata-six General Hata-six. The main content of his telegram is to attack China's southwest direction so that they can't feel comfortable fighting with the Myanmar front. The Japanese army is doing everything they can to do for this time Myanmar.

If Iida Shojiro had not yet captured any results, the Japanese army would probably be furious. In fact, Hata Shunrok also had quite a complaint about attacking the southwest of China. At this stage, the pressure on the Central China Front Army is still quite high, and the troops they guard are not enough, so they usually only occupy important cities and some large counties.

Now, basically some small counties have no way to take care of it. The CCP is under a lot of pressure on the Japanese army at this moment. The Japanese army not only has to face millions of National Revolutionary Army on the front battlefield, but also has to face the guerrillas hiding in the mountains and forests all day long. The Japanese army, who had disdain for the guerrillas before, now also hate the guerrillas. In fact, this operation of the Central China Front Army has already begun, but Hata Shunrok has never been very concerned.

This time, the Deputy Chief of Staff personally sent a telegram to urge Shunji Hata's action to make Shunji Hata quite helpless. In fact, Shunji Hata felt that if they sent troops to attack the southwest, their central China would inevitably be empty. If the Chinese army had an opportunity to take advantage of it, wouldn't they lose the watermelon and pick up sesame seeds? Who would be willing to do such a thing?

Now the Central China Front Army still has a very good control over Central China. But what should we do if we draw 100,000 troops to the front line? The answer has been revealed, and several relatively less important counties in Central China have been restored by the Chinese.

Armed forces from all over the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain as the pressure of the Japanese army has dropped sharply. If the National Government had not had some restraint, there would be no way to do this.

But even so, the armed forces under the leadership of the Communist Party of China have entered a great opportunity for vigorous development on the entire land of China. Moreover, the conditions have been relatively mature, and at this moment, the CCP can be vaguely on the same level as the National Government in the true sense.

However, it is still the most difficult stage of the War of Resistance. Chairman Chiang had planned the Southern Anhui Incident before, which made the relationship between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party relatively tense for a period of time. The cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party during this period was still in a relative honeymoon period. The CCP is also devoted to developing and attacking the Japanese army at this moment. Everyone knows that only when its own strength is strong can there be the capital for negotiations in the end.

Chairman Jiang's several anti-communist campaigns reminded the CCP that it is absolutely impossible to give to others. Destiny can only be in his own hands. Of course, the development of the CCP is also inseparable from Wang Mingyu's financial assistance. It can be said that Wang Mingyu took this time forward by more than a year.

Wang Mingyu actually knew that civil wars were definitely inevitable, and the National Government would never be able to win the hearts of the people. It is undeniable that the National Revolutionary Army was the main force in fighting against the Japanese invaders, but since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people won the world. No matter what happens in the future, the CCP is naturally occupying the mainstream now.

Because they represent the fundamental interests of the vast majority of the people. After all, landlord capitalists are just a few. After learning about the domestic situation, Wang Mingyu only ordered one of Li Shichao's divisions to drag down the Japanese army. As long as Zhang Deen and Wu Peilin eat the two Japanese divisions, the Japanese army on the Chinese battlefield will be in vain.

Of course, if Wang Mingyu is really anxious, Wang Mingyu will not be able to do anything. Wang Mingyu can definitely use his own way to cure him. He is at the back of the battlefield in central China. Don’t forget that there is a Li Xianyu’s army there.

After years of development, Li Xianyu is also quite large. Now, Li Erlangzi's reputation in Shandong is also well-known, but no one can find out the history so far. I only know that he is a legendary figure of the Communist Party of China.

Li Xianyu has quietly pulled the team to more than 20,000 people in Shandong. With the support of Wang Mingyu, they are now occupying a place in the land of Qilu. The weapons used by Li Xianyu are not AK, but all American equipment.

This is just because Wang Mingyu is afraid that those who are interested can see the connection. In fact, American equipment is even better than AK. Of course, the people of the 18th Army are now very adaptable to weapons like AK, so few people are interested in American equipment now.

From the beginning, the Japanese army sent troops to the Central China Front Army was actually destined to be impossible to achieve this plan. Maybe it could put the entire Central China Front Army in an embarrassing situation. However, what made Wang Mingyu happy was that he hoped to use the Myanmar battlefield to frequently mobilize the Japanese army and disrupt their deployment. As long as the Japanese army was in chaos, then the opportunity in the country would come.

The Central China Front Army was just the first step. In the southwest direction, China and Japan launched a fierce battle. The Central China Front Army encountered many obstacles from the Kuomintang and Communist armies along the way. Although they did not know the strategic intentions of the Japanese army, it was naturally impossible for the Japanese army to pass through their defense zone without paying a price.

As a result, the battle around the entire southwest region slowly began. Although most people did not know what the Japanese army of these four divisions was going to do, even if they went to travel around, it would not be possible for them to have a good time.

When the Central China Front Army was only halfway through, their losses had exceeded 15,000 people. Moreover, this journey was relatively easy to walk. If they waited until they entered the jungle area in the southwest region, they would have difficulty walking.

If there is anything wrong with these 100,000 people, it can be said that the decline of the Japanese army in the entire China will become increasingly obvious. The whole war is like playing a game of chess. You want to eat someone’s horse, but they take a horse as a trap, and they end up eating one of your car.

At this time, your advantage will become less and less obvious, and it will naturally be obvious in the end. This is what the Japanese army is now. Their ultimate goal is actually the entire China, but the Myanmar battlefield is very helpful to the Chinese battlefield.

But now, the Chinese battlefield is constantly in a passive state, and the entire Myanmar battlefield has no results. Isn’t this depressing thing very sad? The answer is obvious. The Japanese army is constantly falling into the abyss, and they have no way to turn back. If they choose to end the war now, the Japanese army will not have any good end, and their entire national strength has fallen into such a passive state.

It’s like a person walking into a swamp, getting deeper and deeper. It’s basically impossible to get rid of the phoenix nirvana. But if the Japanese army adjust their targets now, they might have a chance. But how could the Japanese army adjust? They no longer have any way out. Once the war fails, they will definitely be the target of attacks by various countries.

This made the Japanese army very depressed. The news that the Central China Front Army was blocked by layers of attack quickly reached Hata Shunruo's ears. Now they had no way to stop this. They had already walked so many ways, and now they suddenly turned around. It would be better to go forward with all their hearts, otherwise they would be useless to get the water from both ends.

At least there is still an explanation for the empire. Hata Shunruo also knows that if there is any accident in these 100,000 people, then the situation in which they support the entire Central China Front Army may be dangerous. Let’s not talk about counterattacking the Chinese army.

However, the Japanese commander-in-chief thought about taking Myanmar first. As long as they took Myanmar, their next plan could be implemented. In Tonggu, China and Japan had a strange silence, as if both sides were waiting for each other's attack.

However, neither side attacked. Originally, Zhang Deen and Wu Peilin wanted to attack first, but after receiving the news from the country, Wang Mingyu decided to temporarily slow down the encirclement and annihilation of the two Japanese divisions, making the domestic situation a little more lively.

In this way, the deployment of the entire Japanese army will be disrupted. At that time, the thunder attack will be used to give them a fatal blow. It is obviously impossible for the Japanese army to truly obtain anything. Moreover, the blow to their morale can be said to be unparalleled.

The Myanmar battlefield will eventually become a sad place for the Japanese army. This can be said to be inconsistent with the previous actions of the Japanese army. The Japanese army originally thought that they could end the war in Myanmar smoothly, but they did not expect that such a thing would happen.

How can this kind of thing be accepted? So they are trying every means to make up for this shortcoming, but such scheduling is really not of great significance to the entire strategic layout. On the contrary, the Japanese army is now subject to this. The Central China Front Army now has almost no force except for the troops guarding various cities.

If they want to gather troops, they may only strategically give up certain cities. Many cities are really relatively stable because the Japanese army has stricter control. Once the Japanese army temporarily abandons those cities, the CCP’s underground parties will definitely be omnipresent. Maybe this city will change from an ill city [31 Novel Network] to a city with no guerrillas everywhere. Once this becomes like this, the Japanese will definitely suffer in the end, because their stupidity leads to the current outcome.

Wang Mingchuan, the command center of the 18th Army, said to Wang Mingyu: "Chief, at present, I am very interested in this lonely army in the country. I am afraid that they will pay a heavy price before they reach the scheduled location. Many friendly troops are blocking this large group of Japanese troops in order to compete for military merits!"

Wang Mingyu smiled and said, "This is the effect I want. It seems that the Japanese army has not reduced their appetite yet. However, they want to surround Wei and save Zhao. Our ancestors have used this method many times. If they can do this, we can naturally do this too. I have asked Li Xianyu's troops to cooperate closely with us."

Wang Mingchuan smiled and said, "The General Secretary wants to make the entire Central China battlefield chaotic! If Li Xianyu's troops attack the Japanese Central China Front Army, it will be difficult for the Japanese army to mobilize troops to return to defense in a short time. At that time, the Japanese army will definitely send troops to reinforce, so many cities will inevitably be empty, which is also an opportunity for our troops!"

Wang Mingyu said: "It's time to close the net now. Japan has been rampant in our China for so long, and it will have to pay a price. However, it is difficult for us to do this on the one hand. It depends on whether the Allies are strong! If the Allies can also make a concerted effort, then we will cooperate with them, and the entire Japanese army will collapse in an instant!"

"General, but the two Japanese troops in the same ancient direction in the past two days are a little conscious! "

"Haha, this is of course. If they show no signs, then what awaits them will be bloody suppression. Now they can still take the initiative to attack with some dignity. Three days later, if they do not have any movements, then we will be the ones who have the movements next!" Wang Mingyu said firmly, with a cold light in his eyes.

The order Li Xianyu received was to attack the front line of Nanjing, Xuzhou. Their main purpose was not to occupy a certain city, but to make the Japanese army have no time to take care of it. This is their ultimate goal. Now, as long as Li Xianyu attacks the center of the Japanese army, they will inevitably be in a hurry to mobilize troops back to aid. Naturally, there is no way at that time.

Li Xianyu also knew that it was a critical period. If you want to attack the Japanese army's arrogance, you must give them the most severe blow. So in order to cooperate with the layout on the entire battlefield, Li Xianyu decided to start attacking Xuzhou. As long as you attack Xuzhou and cut off the Japanese army's north and south lines, the Japanese army will inevitably panic. The next step is to watch the Japanese army's performance.

So, Li Xianyu's troops moved, and they were too close to Xuzhou. They attacked Xuzhou silently, and even the two Japanese regiments guarding Xuzhou began to retreat towards Nanjing after less than a day of resistance. It was not that they didn't want to defend, but that they couldn't defend at all.

The direct team that Li Xianyu trained himself can be said to be no essential difference from the direct team of the 18th Army. Although he only trained 400 people, these 400 people were enough to upend the Japanese army's rear.

After receiving the news that Xuzhou was captured, Hata Shunruo almost went there in one breath. He didn't attack long ago and couldn't play with it, but he chose to attack at this time. These Chinese troops were really good at calculating. Hata Shunruo looked at the telegram he sent helplessly.

After losing more than 2,000 people, Xuzhou was occupied by the Chinese army. If it were the former Shunroku Hata, he would naturally send troops to recover Xuzhou with great enthusiasm, and he would know his own hardships at this moment. The Central China Front Army had almost no army to send to support Xuzhou.

In depression, Hata Shunruo had to start thinking about how to seek some opportunities in this battle of wits and courage. But what he was most troubled now was where to give up the defense and troops. Gather their strength to deal with the Chinese army that captured Xuzhou. The restoration of Xuzhou shocked the entire China and brought the strength of the CCP to the front again.

The Japanese army made careful preparations for China's policy. However, all of this was destroyed by Wang Mingyu. Judging from the current situation, we must request support from the North China Front Army. At this moment, the North China Front Army is carrying out enslave education on China, which is extremely important for the North China Front Army.

And it has achieved good results, but any slave education is based on the strong Japanese army. At this moment, the North China Front Army is actually not very capable of using manpower. But even in this case, Shinroku Hata still sent a signal of asking for help.

This made Okamura Natsuji, the commander of the North China Front Army, extremely annoyed. However, he also knew that Hata Shunrok was actually suffering from the Imperial Command. He had no choice but to ask him for help at this moment. However, even so, Okamura Natsuji did not plan to send troops.

Who would like to do this? Okamura Yasuji saw the disadvantages of this, so he politely rejected General Hata Shunji. However, in this way, the entire North China Front Army was in danger.

Li Xianyu, who occupied Xuzhou, rushed to Nanjing without stopping. Although Nanjing was once very well-defended, the entire Japanese army in Nanjing now only had one brigade and one corps. In fact, in order to free up a 100,000 troops to expedition to the southwest, Hata Shunrok also had to draw a group of people from various cities to form a group.

This makes Nanjing, which was originally supposed to be stationed in one division, now has two missing wings. Usually, there is nothing important to have two missing wings. But the key problem is that there are two missing wings now. Nanjing is the capital of the original National Government, basically symbolizing half of China.

If Nanjing falls into China's hands again, then you can imagine how much this result will increase China's morale? How big will it hit the Japanese army's morale?

"Teacher, have we brought the Japanese Nanjing city? If we revived Nanjing, then we will be regarded as being famous in history!" The person who spoke was a regiment commander under Li Xianyu, and a subordinate who Li Xianyu valued more. He was very smart when fighting.

"Fighting Nanjing is just a cover. Even if we recover Nanjing, we can't defend it, right? Judging from the current situation, if we don't hurt these Japanese troops, these Japanese troops would think we wouldn't dare to do anything?" Li Xianyu sneered, "Hehe, Division Commander, you are the most good at fighting people. I think there are very few people in this world who can fight than you, right? It's almost enough to have one or two!" The little commander did think so in his heart, but he followed Li Xianyu from the beginning, but he didn't know much about Li Xianyu's past.

"Me? Haha, I'm not humble. There are indeed not many people who can fight more than me in wars, but even in the national army, there are many people who are better than me in wars!" Li Xianyu said naturally modestly. You must know that Wang Mingyu and a group of people are there, so we can't be too arrogant, right?

However, Li Xianyu was relatively low-key, so the commander refused to do it. "Those reactionaries? Some of them can fight? There are only one hundred thousand troops, but they were almost driven out of China by the Japanese! Our division was invincible when compared with them. I think none of the reactionaries could catch up with you. "The little commander said disdainfully, Li Xianyu was not easy to say it clearly, so he had to be careless and said: "Okay, okay, let's study the next step of combat operations first! Comrades, look, our army is in this area, we will take the Xuzhou City and leave. The restoration of Xuzhou is just a reason. Our real purpose is to make the Japanese army move. As long as they move, we will have a play!"

A brigade commander said: "Teacher, we only have more than 20,000 people now. We are just going deep into the hinterland of the Japanese army. If there is any disturbance, our troops will not have time to leave at that time!"

Looking at the worrying look of the division commander, Li Xianyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Japanese army will never dare to start a large-scale war with us at this time."

Li Xianyu is indeed confident. Now the Japanese army of the Central China Front Army basically has no possibility of fighting with them. Once the Japanese army gathers their troops and comes over fiercely, Li Xianyu will inevitably shift the target. Their task is to turn the Japanese army's Central China Front Army into a huge upside down.

If the Japanese North China Front Army could be mobilized, it would be even better. But this kind of thing can only be expected. It is not up to him whether the Japanese army is mobilized or not. So Li Xianyu directly rushed to Nanjing, intending to let the entire Central China Front Army enter a relatively depressed situation.

In fact, no one can understand Hata Shunji's depression now. No soldiers can be adjusted at once. What kind of commander is this? But it is indeed quite difficult now. Hata Shunji had no choice but to send an urgent telegram to the Japanese base camp, but the reply received by the Japanese base camp now is just waiting for two words.

Hata Shunji was also willing to go out at this moment. It was not what I wanted to lose in Nanjing, so what should I do. Hata Shunji also communicated with Okamura Nagaji. There are no extra people in North China now. What makes Hata Shunji the most depressed is that the whole Chinese is already a little bit unstoppable.

This is a taboo in military strategists. If this situation continues, what else can you talk about attacking China? Why not go home and take the child. Hata Shunji is anxious in his eyes. Hata Shunji's thoughts are indeed correct.

But it’s just that the Japanese army was too greedy. They didn’t even get it done, so they started to do it outside. Now they are still fighting against the United States with increasingly strong national strength. These are all unwise behaviors. I really don’t know what those guys in the Navy think.

Although Shinroku Hata also knew the importance of the Hawaiian Islands to the Imperial Pacific Plan, it was a bit speechless to offend a powerful country for this.

If the Japanese army can attack the United States directly, then there will be a little start. But now the Japanese army is taking the lead in attacking China, and when the attack is no longer a day of success, it will start to shift its targets. Isn’t this the soldiers of the empire not going to make a move? Is this decision really correct?

At least in the view of Hata Shunji, this decision made him speechless. At least he has reached the end of his life. Now every time the Central China Front Army is mobilized, it is shaken. How many times can the imperial army be tossed? Hata Shunji has to sigh that this time it is probably going to fall home. (To be continued)
