    January 11, 1941, for Yang Sen and all the officers and soldiers of the 27th Army, it can be said to be the longest and most difficult day in their lives.

    When the light finally dimmed and the Japanese troops retreated like a tide, Yang Sen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    The Japanese army has never been good at night fighting, so they generally do not attack after nightfall unless they have to.

    The Japanese 5th Division on the opposite side was no exception. After dark, the offensive was simply terminated.

    Yang Sen immediately ordered Chief of Staff Xia Jiong to count the casualties of the troops, and asked Li Yueshen and Luo Yuan to seize the time to repair the defensive positions outside the city that had been destroyed by the Japanese army.

    Half an hour later, the casualty figures came out.

    Xia Jiong returned to the headquarters and reported to Yang Sen: "Commander, not counting the minor injuries, the 133rd Division and the 134th Division combined have a total of more than 900 people seriously injured or killed."

    "What are you talking about?" Yang Sen shouted, "More than 900 people were injured or killed?"

    "Yes." Xia Jiong nodded solemnly and added, "Most of the brothers died in hand-to-hand combat. Not many were actually killed by Japanese artillery fire and machine guns."

    "Most of them died in hand-to-hand combat?" Yang Sen's face suddenly darkened, "How is that possible? Before coming to Myanmar, we trained for a full six or seven months. We didn't do anything during these six or seven months, so we just  I only focused on practicing hand-to-hand combat, but I still couldn¡¯t beat the little Japanese? How is it possible?¡±

    Xia Jiong spread his hands and said, "That's the truth."

    Yang Sen said with a dark face: "If this is the case, hand-to-hand combat must be avoided starting tomorrow."

    "Yes." Xia Jiong said, "If we continue to reduce our personnel at today's rate, in less than ten days, all the more than 8,000 people in our 27th Group Army will be here."

    Yang Sen said: "But what Chief Zhong requires is to stick to it for a month!"

    "So." Xia Jiong said, "We have to change our playing style starting tomorrow."

    "Change the style of play? It's easy to say." Yang Sen said, "How to change?"

    Xia Jiong then said: "Chief Commander, do you still remember what Li Yueshen and Luo Yuan said before the Japanese arrived?"

    "The two of them?" Yang Sen said with a cold snort, "Those two bastards know nothing. I eat more salt than they eat, and the bridges they cross are longer than the roads they walk.  ! Don¡¯t think that they have really become famous generals after studying at the Army University for half a year and learning tactics from Commander Zhong for a few months.¡±

    Xia Jiong said: "But I think it's okay to give it a try, right?"

    Yang Sen thought for a while and reluctantly said: "Okay, let's try it first."

    ¡­¡­

    Almost at the same time, at the 8th Division headquarters.

    The division commander of the 8th Division, Masakai Honda, stared at the Chief of Staff Tetsuharu Akai with a cold expression, and said in a deep voice: "Akai-kun, how many casualties are there in the Aomori Regiment?"

    Akai Tetsuji said: "Not counting those who were slightly injured, there were a total of 506 people who were seriously injured or killed."

    "Nani? A total of 506 people were seriously injured or killed?!" Honda's expression became increasingly cold.

    This number of casualties was somewhat beyond his expectation. How could there be so many casualties?  To make matters worse, since the battlefield is always under the control of the Chinese army, this means that seriously injured Japanese soldiers are basically equivalent to death, because unless a miracle happens, it is absolutely impossible for them to come back alive.

    "Hai." Tetsuji Akai said after a pause, "The strength of the Chinese army on the opposite side is beyond imagination, especially in hand-to-hand combat. It is more fierce and sophisticated than any army we have encountered before! I just heard a second lieutenant from the Aomori Regiment describe it  , the soldier on the other side was holding a ghost-headed sword, and he was acting like a silver sword, killing people with the sword!"

    "Baga!" Honda Zhengcai cursed, and then asked, "Which army is on the opposite side? The local troops of the China Army should not have this combat effectiveness. Is it Chang Kaishen's Central Army?"

    "No." Akai Tetsuji shook his head and replied, "I have just investigated. Opposite is the 27th Group Army of the China Army, the Sichuan Army! It belongs to the lowest-ranking local armed forces!"

    "Nani, the Sichuan Army?" Honda was stunned, "How is that possible?"

    Tetsuji Akai said: "It is indeed incredible, but it is indeed true."

    After a pause, Tetsuji Akai continued: "I heard from other colleagues who have fought against the Sichuan Army. Although the Sichuan Army is tenacious, its training is very poor and its equipment is even worse, so its combat effectiveness is actually very poor! But this is not the case with the Sichuan Army opposite.  The Sichuan army on the opposite side is not only well-trained, but also very well-equipped, and its combat effectiveness can be said to be extremely powerful!"

      "Baga." Honda Zhengcai said with a frown, "It seems that there is going to be a fierce battle in Xidang!"

    After saying this for a while, Honda Masato gritted his teeth and said: "However, no matter how difficult it is, we must capture the tin in three days! Tell Setoguchi-kun that if we cannot capture the tin in three days,  Let him commit seppuku!"

    ¡­¡­

    At this time, at the Yangon Chief¡¯s Department.

    Wang Geng hurried into the war room holding a stack of telegrams.

    "Brother Shouqing, how is the situation?" Zhong Yi looked at the simulated sand table and asked without raising his head, "How many casualties did Yang Sen's 27th Group Army have?"

    Wang Geng replied: "There are more than 900 people seriously injured and killed."

    "What?!" Zhong Yi raised his eyes from the sand table and said in shock, "Why are there so many staff reductions?"

    Wang Geng said: "I just asked the Intelligence Department to investigate secretly. Yang Sen did not implement the elastic defense strategy, but insisted on defending the fortifications he relied on."

    "What nonsense!" Zhong Yi said angrily, "There is a vast plain outside Xidang City, and there is no danger to defend it. If you put a division of troops outside the city to defend it, isn't it going to be crushed by Japanese artillery and tanks?"

    "The main thing is tanks." Wang Geng said, "Due to the lack of combat artillery and rocket launchers, the 27th Army has almost nothing to do with the Japanese tanks. The 1st Armored Brigade cannot be easily dispatched now, so it is often broken into the defensive position by the Japanese army. Today there was a full outbreak.  We fought hand-to-hand combat six times, that¡¯s why we were seriously injured and killed so many.¡±

    Zhong Yi frowned and asked: "Contact Yinjiang Logistics Company and see when the two hundred rocket launchers and two thousand rockets sent by Yinjiang will be delivered to Meng Gong?"

    "I asked just now." Wang Geng said, "It has been sent to Lashio Railway Station."

    "Oh, has it been delivered to Lashio Railway Station? That's great." Zhong Yi said again, "I'll call Brother Hesun and ask him to immediately arrange a special car to rush these rocket launchers and rocket launchers to Xidang! Yue  The sooner the better!¡±

    "Then send a telegram to Yang Sen, asking him to strictly implement the elastic defense strategy! When the Japs attack, don't just defend blindly, you must learn to draw back your fists, and then fight back with more force!" (Remember this site's URL: www  .hlnovel.com
