Anda Twenty-Three has already keenly felt that there are bad signs starting to appear.
Since the encounter with the Chinese army, the advancement of the divisions affiliated to the 27th Army has significantly slowed down. After the 2nd Division was also transferred to assist the 28th Division, the situation did not improve significantly.
At night, the situation became even worse, and the Chinese army actually launched a counterattack.
After three days of fierce fighting, the advancement of the 28th Division and the 2nd Division has completely stalled!
Such a result was never expected by Anda Twenty-three. He originally thought that the jungle battle would test the willpower and tactical literacy of the officers and soldiers on both sides. In this regard, the Japanese army obviously had an overwhelming advantage, and with their absolute With superior strength, his 27th Army will easily defeat the Chinese army on the opposite side.
Anda 23 is even looking forward to the "grand occasion" after the complete defeat of the Chinese army.
But after the two parties came into contact, Anda Twenty-three discovered that this was not the case at all.
The tenacity of the Chinese army exceeded his imagination, but this was not what surprised him the most.
What surprised Anda Twenty-san the most was that the Chinese army¡¯s tactical proficiency in jungle warfare was far superior to that of the Japanese army. How is this possible?
"Baga, how is this possible?" Anda Twenty-Three still looked in disbelief until this moment.
Chief of Staff Taro Nakayaga said: "Your Excellency, Commander, although you are very reluctant to admit it, the cruel reality is that both the 28th Division and the 2nd Division are now unable to move even an inch."
It¡¯s true, the 28th Division and the 2nd Division are now at a loss.
Hunting traps and simple mines modified from bullets are almost everywhere in the jungle.
If it is just a trap or a mine, it is not a problem and can be cleared in a short time.
The most troublesome thing is the Chinese army hidden in the jungle. These Chinese armies have almost no organized troops. Most of them are in groups of three or five, hiding in trees, water or even under dead leaves. When Japanese troops pass by, they will jump out of the darkness and inflict casualties on the Japanese troops.
After the fight is over, these Chinese soldiers will quickly disappear without a trace.
The dense jungle on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River provided these Chinese soldiers with excellent cover.
In contrast, the Japanese army's response seems a bit clumsy. Most of the time, the Japanese army will only send out search teams, but all the search teams sent often never return.
At night, the Chinese soldiers became more arrogant and even dared to attack the brigade-level camp.
Last night, the camps of two infantry brigades of the 28th Division were attacked by the Chinese army. Although the Chinese army's attack was repelled in the end, there were many casualties.
One of the infantry brigade even completely lost its combat effectiveness.
If Adachi Twenty-san is a prudent and pragmatic commander, he should calm down at this time and seriously think about Ishihara Kanji's suggestion.
Because the cruel facts have been placed in front of the 27th Army.
If this continues, not to mention whether the 27th Army can break through before the 25th Army, even if the 27th Army breaks through the national defense line before the 25th Army, it will probably be exhausted and unable to continue to expand the results.
In this case, why go through all the trouble and insist on taking a detour from Ren'an and Qiang?
Regrettably, Anda 23 has never been a prudent and pragmatic commander.
Anda Twenty-Three was born into a military family. His father, two brothers, and three uncles are all senior generals in the army.
Born in such a family, one can imagine how high Anda Twenty-san¡¯s vision is under the influence of his ears and eyes.
Adachi Twenty-san especially looks down on Ishihara Kanji, but whether this is because he is jealous of Ishihara Kanji or because of Tojo Hideki, only he knows.
Anyway, it is impossible to make Adachi twenty-three bow to Ishihara Wanji.
Thinking of this, Anda Twenty-san's heart, which had begun to waver, became firm again.
"Zhongyong Jun, you have overlooked a very important point." Anda Twenty-Three said solemnly.
"Really?" Taro Nakayaga frowned and said, "I wonder what point I have overlooked?"
"You ignored the physical endurance limit of the Chinese Army!" Anda Twenty-three said solemnly, "Yes, in these three days and nights of jungle battles, the Chinese Army did show tactical prowess far beyond our imagination, but there is no need to deny it. , the number of troops of the imperial army still occupies an advantage. According to intelligence, the number of our troops is??It is at least twice that of the opposite China Army! "
When Taro Nakayaga heard this, his heart suddenly moved, and he said in a deep voice: "What your Excellency, Commander, means"
Anda Twenty-Three said with a grin: "In the past three days, the reason why the Chinese Army has performed better than the Imperial Army is not because their tactical literacy is really higher than that of the Imperial Army, but entirely because their organization is smaller and their tactics are smaller. More flexibility.¡±
"That's true." Taro Nakayaga nodded. "In these three days of jungle warfare, the Imperial Army mostly carried out combat missions in regiments, at least in the size of a large group. This was not the case with the China Army, which usually consisted of dozens or even a few. The group will quickly gather together to form a large ambush formation only when necessary."
"So." Anda Twenty-Three said, "The Imperial Army can completely imitate the China Army's practice. We can completely divide half of our troops into infantry squads or even infantry groups to carry out combat missions deep into the jungle. Only when Only when encountering a large force of the Chinese Army will it be necessary to dispatch the main force of the organization."
"Soga!" Taro Nakayaga said, "In this case, the imperial army should be much more flexible in responding."
After a pause, Taro Nakayaga continued: "But in this case, our army will definitely have to struggle with the Chinese army in the jungle near Magway for a period of time. In this case, the tactics formulated before the war to capture Ren'anqiang within five days will be fulfilled." The goal, I¡¯m afraid, will completely come to naught.¡±
Anda Twenty-san¡¯s expression immediately darkened again.
The inability to capture Ren'an Qiang as planned is undoubtedly a great denial of his military command ability.
But soon, Anda Twenty-Three cheered up again and said: "It doesn't matter, even if the capture of Ren'anqiang is delayed for a few days, it will not have much impact on the entire battle, because no matter what, our 27th Army will definitely We will break through the China Army's defense line before the 25th Army, and then complete the encirclement of the China Army."
Nakayaga Taro does not have the same confidence as Adachi Twenty-three.
¡°But Anda Twenty-Three has already said so, so it¡¯s hard for him to say anything else.
No matter what, Adachi Twenty-san is the commander of the 27th Army, and Nakayaga Taro is just the chief of staff. The final decision must be made by Adachi Twenty-san after all. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
