Chapter 688: Outflanking and encircling the decisive battle in Burma (19)
In return for the Chinese Expeditionary Force's full-scale attack on Imphal, the Americans will provide a large number of equipment such as metallurgical equipment with an annual output of one million tons of steel and 10,000-ton hydraulic presses, including part of the aircraft assembly line and the M4A4D Sherman tank production line as well as light weapons.
Supporting the ammunition production line, blood supply is not as good as strengthening China's own hematopoietic function.
At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek also began to brew a large-scale party purge movement. The purpose of this party purge movement was to be based on clean government. Chiang Kai-shek had previously had a plan to purge the party, but even he himself was somewhat unable to accept that huge plan.
, just like the two brothers Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu gave him
The general suggestions are to punish corruption and destroy the party, and to destroy the country through corruption. The main reason why Chiang Kai-shek did not purge the party before was because the entire system of the Kuomintang, starting from the Revolution of 1911 in 1911, was composed of various intertwined relationships, which can be said to have influenced everything.
My whole body, I dare not do it.
In fact, if Chiang Kai-shek's sixty German weapon divisions were reorganized and the country's armed forces were also reorganized, his next move would be to punish corruption and purge the party. Unfortunately, the Japanese did not give him this opportunity, and he has been
It failed to establish a true party army like the Communist Party. The superiority and advanced nature of the Communist Party made Chiang Kai-shek feel sleepless and sleepless. This was the main reason why he regarded it as a scourge.
Chiang Kai-shek now has the Chinese Expeditionary Force with the youth army as the backbone. It seems that all the conditions have begun to gradually mature. However, it is not possible to freeze three feet in a day. Managing a big country is like cooking small fish and shrimps. How can it be compared with the Chinese Expeditionary Force?
Gao Fei's bold battle on the front line is so exciting?
The commitments made by the Americans and the British began to be gradually fulfilled. As for the Chinese Expeditionary Force, all vehicles were assigned to Mao Zhiyuan's New 20th Division and Mechanized Division Li Guoren's Division. The two divisions were led by armored units, and Xie Wenhua's heavy artillery brigade was assigned to the 6th and 7th.
Field battle
Under the cover of General Chennault's fighter planes, the heavy artillery regiment headed straight for Yangon, the Japanese logistics supply center. Huang Junjie's troops of the new 1st Division cooperated with Wang Jin's troops of the newly reorganized 1st Mountain Infantry Brigade to penetrate the Japanese army and attack the right wing of the Imphal troops.
New Third Division Li Gang's Department
Cooperate with Lu Zhongcheng of the 2nd Mountain Infantry Brigade who has arrived at the attack position to attack the Japanese left wing, and concentrate Zhang Lingfu of the New 2nd Division, Dai Anlan of the New 4th Division, Hu Lian of the New 5th Division, and Lin Jingsheng of the New 6th Division to attack Ren with all their strength.
Qiang'an, cut off their retreat,
Cooperating with the left and right wings to conduct a pincer attack and encircle the Japanese army, the remaining five heavy artillery regiments of the heavy artillery brigade were all involved in the attack on Renqiang'an, and all the air power of Chennault's Tenth Air Force was concentrated to sweep the Japanese army's logistics supply lines.
Anti-Japanese Blood Sacrifice to Mountains and Rivers 688
Li Kaiguo's New 10th Division serves as the general reserve for the campaign. Gao Fei's entire deployment is to take down the Japanese Yamashita Tombumi's First Front Army in one fell swoop, and use less than 200,000 Chinese Expeditionary Forces to attack and annihilate the Japanese Yamashita Tombumi's First Front Army.
With a main force of more than 300,000 people, this is undoubtedly a huge military adventure. For Gao Fei
This is a very rare opportunity, because before this, the Japanese army must have judged that there was some friction between the Chinese Expeditionary Force and the British Army, otherwise they would not have stayed put. Yamashita Fengfumi was proficient in tactical implementation, and it was impossible not to seize it.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to concentrate our forces to annihilate the British and Indian troops in Imphal.
Gao Fei was pacing back and forth in front of the map. Now Gao Fei seems to be spending more and more time looking at the map. The special forces are also intensifying their raids on the Japanese behind enemy lines. The Japanese are elusive in their attacks on the special operations detachment of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
There is no way to deal with it, especially since the special operations forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force operate in small units. They often complete attacks on designated attack targets at night and then disappear without a trace.
Most of those attacked were the Japanese army's communications and supply logistics units, and even field hospitals were targeted. The most elite special forces of the Chinese army, with superior firepower and numbers, ambushed the Japanese supply units, which were not even considered fourth-rate combat effectiveness.
and communications troops, the Japanese army was full of complaints.
What's even more powerful is that the Chinese special forces buried anti-tank mines in the parking lot of the Japanese tank troops. In response to the surprise attack by the special forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, the Japanese army was in a panic. Many Japanese soldiers even got up at night to go to the toilet.
Travel together.
However, in the opinion of Yamashita Fengfumi, this is just a trick, because his main force has now crossed the Chindun River, and basically all the raiding troops sent by the British and Indian troops were annihilated by Abe Norihide's mountain army. The heavy artillery brigade and the battle
The chariot brigade successfully crossed the river, and Yamashita Fengwen decided to concentrate his forces on the Imphal Plateau to annihilate them.
The main force of the British and Indian troops is opening up the supply route in the Bay of Bengal. The supply route in the Bay of Bengal is much safer than the supply route from Yangon, and the flatness and unusual lack of vegetation along the way makes ambushes impossible. It also exceeds the limit of China.
The combat radius of the P40 fighter jets equipped by the United States Combined Air Force.
In Yamashita Fengfumi's battle plan, Yangon in Myanmar has become an insignificant abandoned child. However, before the Chinese Expeditionary Force attacks Yangon, Yamashita Fengfumi still has to adopt a defensive posture in order to attract the Chinese Expeditionary Force to divide its troops.
Another point is to give Gao Fei the illusion that Yamashita Fengwen is still based in Yangon.
, as the main attack base, then Gao Fei will definitely pay attention to the attack on Yangon. Once an attack is launched, he will attack Yangon first. If the main force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force is empty, he will then concentrate his forces to attack Renqiang'an. At this time, he
The army had already swept across the British army in Imphal, and then turned around to defend the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Imphal.
Yamashita Fengwen's wishful thinking was indeed a good one. In terms of tactics, Yamashita Fengwen was tall and thick, like a butcher. He was called an infantry artillery by students from the mainland at the same time, because a horse could not withstand his long-distance march.
Because of its weight, it must be ridden by two horses. Just like the Type 92 infantry gun, it generally needs two horses to carry it, so it is called an infantry gun. However, it is indeed thick and thin. At least his little tricks are useful for high-flying people.
It seems to have worked.
Gao Fei planned to attack Yangon with Mao Zhiyuan's New 20th Division and Mechanized Division Li Guoren's troops with the cooperation of heavy artillery on April 18, 1942. At dawn on the 20th, the main force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force began to launch a fierce attack on Renqiang'an, and separately attacked
Left
The 1st Mountain Infantry Brigade and the 2nd Mountain Infantry Brigade on the right flank forcibly crossed the Chindwin River, attacked the rear of the Japanese army attacking the Imphal Plateau, touched the enemy's rear, contained the Japanese army, covered the main force and forcibly crossed the Chindwin River, and completed the battle against the main force of the Japanese army.
