Yangon, the headquarters of the Burmese Condemnation Force.
Kimura Hyoutaro walked into the war room and reported to Umezu Yoshijiro: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, you just received a telegram from the 28th Army from the front line. During the morning battle, they lost two more artillery brigades."
"Baga Yalu." Umezu Yoshijiro's brows suddenly furrowed, the loss was too great.
Kimura Hy身taro waved casually to the two combat staff officers next to him. The two combat staff officers nodded, and then removed the two artillery models from the 28th Army's position.
An artillery model represents an artillery brigade.
Removing the two horizontal artillery pieces means that the two artillery brigades are gone.
Kimura Hy身taro added: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, as of today, the 28th Army has almost lost all its technical equipment and has suffered more than half of its troops casualties. Should we let them retreat first to rest and recuperate?"
"Well, let the 28th Army withdraw first." Umezu Yoshijiro said, "The 29th Army will be replaced!"
Kimura Hy身taro waved his hand, and a communications staff officer called the headquarters of the 29th Army.
Umezu Yoshijiro asked again: "Kimura-kun, how many days has it been since the Second Battle of Mandalay?"
Kimura Hy身taro respectfully said: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, today is the twelfth day since the battle started!"
"It's already the twelfth day?" Umezu Yoshijiro's brows became more and more frowned, and his eyes swept across the sand table. He saw that not to mention opening up the situation on the battlefield in the middle, even advancing ten kilometers forward was extremely difficult.
Before the war started, Umezu Yoshijiro never expected that this would be the situation.
Originally thought that the Army was just the crowd of Qunwu, and it was simply vulnerable.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? despite not only having received technical equipment, but also found that the combat effectiveness of the China Army could be significantly improved. This was completely different from any China Army he had ever encountered before.
What upsets Umezu Meijiro the most is that the two wings are not going well either.
On the Ren'an Qiang battlefield on the left wing, as time goes by, the Chinese army has built more and more fortifications and they have become stronger and stronger. Anda 23's 27th Army has once again fallen into a bitter battle.
In fact, although only half a month has passed, Umezu Yoshijiro has already lost confidence in the 27th Army.
Now Umezu Yoshijiro's only hope is the right wing, and the performance of Sasaki Toichi's 30th Army on the right wing has indeed not disappointed Umezu Yoshijiro. The advancement speed can be said to be extremely fast. In less than half a month, most of the Shan Plateau has been occupied. , compressing the Chinese army in the northwest corner of the Shan State Plateau.
However, there is an old saying in China that good fortune and misfortune depend on each other.
The rapid advance of Sasaki's 30th Army allowed the right wing to quickly open up the situation, but it was precisely because the 30th Army advanced so fast that the two heavy artillery regiments assigned to the 30th Army were unable to keep up. .
In the early stages of the war, when the Chinese army was dispersed, the lack of heavy artillery firepower was no problem.
But now, when the Chinese army is huddled in the northwest corner of the Shanbang Plateau and resisting stubbornly, the shortcomings of the 30th Army's lack of heavy artillery firepower have been exposed.
Without heavy artillery rear firepower, there is a lack of means to attack difficulties.
Without the means to attack the enemy, it would be impossible to break through the fortifications built by the Chinese army with reinforced concrete, so the entire offensive stalled and could no longer advance.
Looking across the sand table, Umezu Yoshijiro became even more irritable.
how so? How is this possible? It shouldn*t be like this at all!
At this time, the difference between those who are capable and those who are incompetent becomes apparent.
At this time, those who are capable will usually look for the reasons from themselves, while those who are incompetent will shift the responsibility to others without reflecting on themselves.
Umezu Yoshijiro obviously belongs to the latter.
"Haga!" Umezu Yoshijiro said angrily, "This is all caused by poor air force support! If it weren't for their poor air force support and loss of air supremacy in the northern Myanmar battlefield, how could the 28th Army's technical equipment suffer such heavy losses? Pass it on to me Order to have the 7th and 8th Aviation Divisions dispatch more aircraft to strengthen support for the middle battlefield!"
"Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the Air Force has actually tried its best." Kimura Hyotar身 whispered, "In the twelve days of fighting, they lost half of their fighters and one-third of their bombers! In the current situation, the 7th and 7th Air Force The 8th Division's current combat sorties are already at their limit, and it is impossible to strengthen them any further."
"Baga!" Umezu Yoshijiro said angrily, "Kimura-kun, please remember that you are from the Burmese faction."He is the Chief of Staff of the Army, not the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, so please don*t consider the issue from the perspective of the Air Force. You should consider the issue from the perspective of Myanmar*s dispatched troops. From our perspective, it is because of the poor support of the Air Force. Which led to the current situation! "
"Hai!" Kimura Hy身taro did not dare to say any more and turned around to send a telegram to the Air Force.

Mandalay, Burma War Zone Commander*s Department.
Watching the operational staff of the commander's department take away the models one by one from the sand table, Stilwell was fine, but the muscles on Wang Geng's face began to twitch involuntarily. He felt distressed!
These models are not real models, they represent combat troops!
A tank model represents a tank battalion with more than 40 tanks!
An artillery model represents an artillery battalion with 12 cannons!
An aircraft model represents an aviation squadron and 36 fighter jets!
Until now, the Myanmar war zone has lost half of its technical equipment!
This includes more than 600 artillery pieces of various calibers, including 200 tanks of various types, and more than 500 combat aircraft of various types.
The only thing that gave Wang Geng some comfort was that because the expeditionary force was a defensive operation and had strong fortifications built in advance to rely on, the personnel losses were not large.
But Wang Geng still felt extremely distressed by the huge loss of technical equipment.
When did the Chinese military have such generosity? As a result, within two days of such a lavish life, he was immediately knocked back to his original form. How could this make Wang Gengqing so embarrassed?
"Chief, the intensity of this battle is too great, the intensity is too high!" Wang Geng couldn't help but said, "In less than half a month, we have lost half of our technical equipment, half of our technical equipment!"
Zhong Yi said: "Brother Shouqing, I think you need to change some of your ideas."
After a pause, Zhong Yi said again: "In the past, our national army was poorly equipped, and all technical equipment was precious, so we needed to protect it in every possible way. But now the situation is different. Now the Myanmar Industrial Zone has Under construction, the India-Myanmar highway is also open and unobstructed, and the technical equipment aided by the United States can be transported in a steady stream, so we have to make some changes in our concepts. In a word, technical equipment is used to consume the enemy!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
