Yangon, Myanmar Theater Commander's Department.
Because they were worried about bombing by the Japanese Air Force, even at night, the commander-in-chief did not dare to turn on the lights too brightly. They only lit a few gas lamps in the huge war room.
In the dim light, Zhong Yi stood in front of the sand table with a frown.
The latest battle situation of the Battle of Guse is displayed on the sand table. The tank model representing the 1st Armored Brigade has been placed near Guse, where the Japanese 1st Guards Division is located.
The soldier models of the 146th and 147th divisions, representing the 23rd Army, are also approaching patina.
Zhong Yi turned his eyes to the west bank of the Xidang River and saw four soldier models representing the four divisions of Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army, which had also advanced to the front line on the west bank of the Xidang River.
Pushing forward with Deng Xihou¡¯s 22nd Army, there was also an artillery model.
This artillery model represents an independent artillery brigade under the direct jurisdiction of the theater commander's department.
The equipment of this independent artillery brigade was also received from the British-Burmese Army, with a total of 48 75mm caliber Bofors Mountain guns.
So in tonight's counterattack, Zhong Yi staked almost all the belongings in the Myanmar theater. Only one artillery brigade was dispatched, and the only armored brigade was also dispatched. He held it in his hands as a strategic reserve. All four divisions of the 22nd Army were dispatched, not even a single regiment was left!
At this time, Yangon has almost become an empty city.
If Ishihara Kanji is brave enough and sends an infantry regiment to sneak attack, even if he cannot bring down Zhong Yi's commander, he can at least cause chaos in the command of the entire Myanmar theater.
In short, Zhong Yi staked all his belongings this time.
Zhong Yi¡¯s character is like this, either he doesn¡¯t move or he tries his best to move.
However, even if he tried his best, Zhong Yi could not guarantee a sure win.
Because the Japanese 2nd Guards Division is in Dengse, it is less than 200 miles away from Guse.
This also means that if the ancient battle cannot be ended before dawn, the intention of severely damaging or even encircling and annihilating the Japanese 1st Guards Division will come to nothing.
And if the Japanese 25th Army cannot be hurt this time, the situation will worsen in the future.
¡° Then, the tactical goal of holding on to Yangon for at least a month will no longer be achieved.
¡°And if we cannot hold on in Yangon for at least a month, it will affect the next stage of defensive operations in northern Myanmar.
¡°If a large amount of weapons and equipment assisted by the U.S. government are lost in northern Myanmar before they are shipped to Myanmar, we will be in big trouble.
This also means that the next stage of counterattack can only be launched in the original time and space, using Imphal in India as the main logistics base.
This will undoubtedly greatly affect the efficiency of the expeditionary force!
Such a result is absolutely intolerable to Zhong Yi.
Therefore, this battle in Guse must hurt the Japanese army!
The beeping of telegrams in the communications room next door was audible, and from time to time a communications soldier hurried out and handed one telegram after another to Wang Geng.
After Wang Geng compiled it, he either handed it over to the responsible staff officer, or came directly to Zhong Yi.
After receiving another telegram from the front line, Wang Geng suddenly showed joy on his face, and then walked quickly to Zhong Yi and said: "General, good news, the 1st Armored Brigade has broken into the 1st Guards of the Japanese Army. The division headquarters of the division has reunited with the special operations team led by Usami Takashi."
"Okay!" Zhong Yi nodded vigorously upon hearing this.
The beheading battle of the special forces unit led by Usami Takashi was very successful, killing more than a hundred people including the commander of the 1st Konoe Division, Sasaki Kiyoshi, and the chief of staff, Yamada Seiichi. However, this does not mean that the Konoe The 1st Division has completely lost effective command, because all the regiments below the division have maintained their intact organization.
Only the 1st Armored Brigade breaking into the division headquarters can ensure that the Japanese army falls into complete chaos.
Wang Geng turned to the second telegram and said: "Now, the 1st Armored Brigade has divided its troops into three groups, all the way to the dock by the Xidang River, launching an attack on the Japanese transport fleet; all the way to the Japanese Guards The artillery position of the 1st Division; the other group is cooperating with the 146th and 147th Divisions to mop up the remaining enemies!"
After a pause, Wang Geng said again: "Chief Commander, the troops of the Japanese 1st Guards Division on the east bank of the Sidang River have fallen into complete chaos. It is only a matter of time before the entire army is destroyed!"
Zhong Yi said: "I have never worried about the fighting on the east bank of the Xidang River. What I worry about is the fighting on the west bank!"
"Yes." Wang Geng nodded and said, "On the west bank of the Xidang River?A semi-infantry regiment of the Japanese army, Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army, although it has four divisions and the fire support of an independent artillery brigade, it is really hard to say whether it has any chance of winning this battle, but fortunately on the West Bank The battle has no time limit! Unlike the battle on the east coast, which must end before dawn, we still have a chance in the battle on the west coast. "
"Yes!" Zhong Yi nodded and said in a deep voice, "The Japanese army on the east bank only needs to be defeated, but the Japanese army on the west bank must be completely wiped out! No one can be left behind!"
¡¡
In Moulmein, the headquarters of the Japanese 25th Army.
Because of not being able to rest well for a long time, coupled with the food poisoning some time ago, Ishihara Wanji's body became even more haggard.
"But the old devil didn't change his style or habits because of his physical weakness. Even though he was like this, he still called a prostitute last night.
Tanigi Nahuaxiong was very worried that Ishihara Kanji's body would not be able to hold on.
Seeing Ishihara Wanji¡¯s face turning pale and fine cold sweat oozing out from his forehead, Tanigi Nakao couldn¡¯t help but persuade him: ¡°Your Excellency, Commander, why don¡¯t you go back and rest?¡±
"No, I'm fine." Ishihara Wanji waved his hand, and then asked, "Tani Ogi-kun, where have the reinforcements of the 2nd Guards Division arrived?"
"We have just passed near Xidang." Tanigi Nahuaxiong replied, "There is still about half the distance."
"There's still half the journey?" Ishihara Wanji raised his wrist and looked at his watch, his face looking even more anxious.
Tanigi Nahuaxiong sighed and said: "Your Excellency Commander, the defeat of the troops of the 1st Guards Division on the east bank of the Sidang River is already certain. The only suspense now is how many troops can escape and how much equipment can be preserved. ? But I feel that the final result may not be too optimistic."
After a pause, Tanigi Nahuaxiong continued: "After all, the counterattack of the Chinese Army was so sudden! Especially their tank troops, it was as if they appeared from the ground! The 1st Guards The security troops sent by the division were not aware of it? This is simply unbelievable!"
"Now is not the time to think about this." Ishihara Wanji waved his hand and said, "I don't care about the other troops of the Guards Division left on the east bank of the Sidang River, but the 13th Heavy Artillery Regiment and the 1st Guards Regiment of the Field Artillery It must be preserved. If anything goes wrong with these two artillery regiments, it will affect the next stage of the battle!" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com
