    The second Battle of Mandalay ended in a stalemate again, and the stalemate lasted for more than a month.

    For the soldiers of the Chinese and Japanese armies on the front line, every day is as long as a year, but for the builders of the Myitkyina Industrial Zone in the rear, time flies so fast.

    In the blink of an eye, the time has come to May 1, 1941.

    The power plant in Myitkyina was built first and began transmitting electricity to the industrial area.

    By this time, the Second Battle of Mandalay had been stalemate for more than a month.

    After such a long period of huge consumption, the technical equipment and ammunition reserves of the Japanese Condemnation Force in Burma have been exhausted.

    Especially the ammunition reserves of the three armies on the Central Railway battlefield are already stretched thin.

    Kimura Hy身taro walked into Umezu Mijiro's office with an extremely embarrassed look on his face, holding the latest statistics on equipment from the ammunition department.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief," Hy身taro Kimura said with a dark face, "I must regretfully report to you that if the latest batch of military supplies provided by the base camp cannot arrive within three days, our offensive will have to stop.  Because the ammunition reserves of the 25th, 28th and 29th armies have begun to run out!"

    "Kimura-kun, is it so serious?" Umezu Meijiro asked with a frown.

    Before this, Umezu Yoshijiro had not paid much attention to the loss of technical equipment, and he was not too worried about the ammunition reserves, because he felt that Japan had now fully shifted to a wartime system, and almost all industrial production capacity was used to produce weapons, equipment and ammunition.  , so it is logically impossible for a shortage to occur.

    Now that Kimura Hy身taro suddenly told him that this battle would soon be unwinnable, he was inevitably a little surprised.

    "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, the situation is more serious than you think." Kimura Hy身taro said solemnly, "The situation of the 27th Army on the left and the 30th Army on the right is pretty good, but the technical equipment of the three armies on the central battlefield is not good.  It has been almost exhausted. In the past week, the imperial soldiers of several divisions responsible for the main attack can only attack the enemy with the support of grenades, small-caliber light mortars and a small number of bombers!"

    After a pause, he added: "Even so, the supply of ammunition cannot be open! Before each infantry charge, they can often only fire a few rounds of grenades. The bombers providing aerial fire support do not have aerial bombs, so they can only use machine guns to dive and strafe."  , so in the past half month or so, the casualties of the 12 divisions on the central battlefield have increased sharply. So far"

    "Kimura-kun!" Umezu Yoshijiro suddenly interrupted and interrupted Kiji Hyoutarou, "I don't want to hear the casualty numbers, because the casualty numbers mean nothing to me. I just want the result, and I just want the second Mandalay."  Victory in the battle! Now tell me, how far are we from victory?"

    "There's a long way to go." Kimura Hy身taro replied, "At least so far, the China Army has not shown signs of defeat!"

    "Baga, why is this happening?" Umezu Meijiro frowned and murmured, "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this? It's been more than a month!"

    "Yes, logically speaking it shouldn't be like this."

    Kimura Hy身taro also fell into memories.

    I remember that when the Second Battle of Mandalay just started, the Burmese Condemnation Army clearly had an absolutely unprecedented advantage. Judging from past experience, the China Army would collapse in minutes.

    But when the war started, they suddenly discovered that this was not the case at all.

    Let＊s not talk about anything else, let＊s just talk about the central battlefield. Although the number of troops of the Chinese army is not as good as that of the Japanese army, on the other hand, the number of their technical equipment, whether it is the number of artillery, caliber, number of tanks, or even the number of flight sorties of fighter jets, is  It is necessary to surpass Myanmar's dispatch of condemnation troops.

    ※ Moreover, the China Army is actually very skilled in controlling these technical equipment.

    As a result, the relative strength advantage of Myanmar＊s conscripting troops was lost.

    After more than a month of hard fighting, twelve divisions took turns to go into battle, but they couldn't make any progress!

    Kimura Hy身taro then asked: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, when will the latest batch of ammunition supplies provided by the base camp be shipped to Myanmar?"

    Umezu Yoshijiro said: "There are about seven days left."

    "Nani? It will take about seven days?" Kimura Hy身taro lost his voice and said, "Why does it take so long?"

    "It's not because of insufficient transportation capacity." Umezu Yoshijiro said with a snort. "The Navy has recently been busy transporting various military supplies to Hawaii Island and is preparing to turn Hawaii Island into an advanced base to attack the United States. It is precisely because of this that they  There aren't many ships to help us transport supplies  "

    "Baga, why is this happening?" Hy身taro Kimura said angrily, "As the saying goes, things have eased. The top priority is to solve the incidents in Burma and China first. Attacking the United States is not the top priority at the moment! At this time, mobilize a large number of ships to go  When transporting supplies to Hawaii Island, isn＊t this a waste of time and money?§

    "The bureaucrats at the base camp don't think so much," Umezu Yoshijiro said. "They believe that only by launching cross-ocean attacks on the American mainland, especially the West Coast, can the war be brought to the American mainland and can the war potential of the United States be fundamentally weakened. Otherwise, regardless of whether the emperor  No matter how large an offensive the military launches in China, Myanmar or even Australia, it will not be enough to shake the foundation of the United States, and it will only lead to the gap between the two countries' national strength becoming wider and wider."

    "How is it possible?" Kimura Hyoutaro said, "As long as Burma is occupied, the China Incident can be solved! As long as China is incorporated into the empire's territory, the empire's population, territory and resources will be doubled, and the war potential will be greatly improved.  Relying on the empire's original industrial manufacturing base, the gap between the national power of the United States and the United States can be quickly closed!"

    After a short pause, he continued: "If China surrenders, the empire will receive huge direct war dividends, and even the damage to the national economy caused by the transition to a wartime system can be quickly wiped out! How can we say that at this time?  , only by launching an attack on the U.S. mainland can we fundamentally shake the U.S.? What nonsense?"

    Umezu Yoshijiro said: "But these are beyond your control."

    After a pause, Umezu Yoshijiro continued: "The only thing you and I can do is to try our best to fight the war in Burma under the current conditions. Even if we cannot completely annihilate the China Expeditionary Force, we must ensure that the Yunnan-Burma Highway is cut off! Telegram  All armies and divisions must carry forward the brave spirit of the Imperial Army and make up for the lack of ammunition with the powerful and fearless bushido spirit."

    "Hai!" Kimura Hy身taro suddenly nodded and said nothing more.

    Since that＊s the case, it＊s superfluous to say anything else.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
