Age of Rebirth

The first thousand and 110 eight chapters can not get through the drink Dunjiang

Commander-in-Chief of Japan's Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force, General Ito Yanzaburo, is like a hungry wolf that smells blood, grabbing hundreds of thousands of British and Burmese troops, starting from Mandalay, one bite at a time. , and now, he stared his blood-red eyeballs firmly at the Yindun River, the most insurmountable natural obstacle on the road leading to Myitkyina.

Therefore, after Mandalay and the Libao Grand Canyon, the south bank of the Yindun River became a battleground again. On the battlefield where one side was being chased and beaten, and the other was eager to resolve the battle, there was a third-party army in Libao. On the Zhiyindun River, the more than [-]-kilometer-long battle line, waiting to go out, watching with cold eyes the blood and flesh flying across the battlefield.

Watching the British corpses strewn across the field, watching the Japanese attack like a wave, watching the two sides twist together, although the casualties paid vary, but such a melee of tens of thousands of people, the Japanese can't go smoothly without paying some price to resolve the battle.

This unit is the five brigades commanded by Yu Guanghan, Chief of Staff of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division. The sound of gunfire had nothing to do with him, and even though he was furious, he sent a telegram to his teacher Tang Qiuli with a cryptic intention but an obvious intention. [

Except for the answer of "stand still, stand on the sidelines, and engage in violation of military law", the orders received in the future are to continue to lie on standby. Yu Guanghan felt uncomfortable, so he took the command staff and five brigade commanders to the police every day. Go to the road leading to Myitkyina and observe the situation.

It was really an eye-opener for him. The British who ran panting and disarmed, and then Yu Guanghan shook his head, and the Japanese who was chasing aggressively and who were also staggering, made him smack his teeth. It's an eye-opener. I've seen people in a state of embarrassment, but I've never seen such a troop running so bloody.

After a while, a group of unarmored British ran over, and after a while, another group of little devils who looked like they had taken aphrodisiacs chased after them. After watching for a few days, they were all the same. Yu Guanghan also lost interest.

After returning to the hiding place, Yu Guanghan took a few brigade commanders to conduct a demonstration on the sand table according to the route and method of the British retreat, as well as the route and tactics of the Japanese pursuit, and came up with a very simple but impressive plan. Unpredictable conclusion, the strategic retreat of the British army actually turned into a big rout.

There is only one road from Mandalay to Myitkyina, and the rest are either rugged mountain roads or through virgin forests. If the British arrange different troops on this only road to block each other, not only He would not be chased so badly by the Japanese, and he would make the little devil pay a heavy price. Every step he took would be rained head-on, and landmines and explosives would bloom everywhere.

Along the way, there are many places suitable for ambush and blocking. From Yu Guanghan's point of view, there are no less than a few hundred places. In any case, hundreds of thousands of troops cannot be beaten so badly by little devils. A brigade commander even Said: "Chief of Staff, if our army encounters such a situation, as long as I take my brigade, I will be able to withstand the impediment of the little devils and retreat to Myitkyina. How many people are guaranteed not to die, do you believe it?"

Including Yu Guanghan, the other brigade commanders absolutely believed in the words of this brigade commander. If it was replaced by that brigade, the little devil wouldn't be able to beat him like this. Therefore, he couldn't understand it at all. Dele retreated all the way to the south bank of the Yindun River, leaving more than 20 people behind. They were slaughtered by the Japanese army like melons and vegetables. After studying the strange phenomena that happened on the battlefield, Yu Guanghan lost interest.

The British and the little devil are not opponents of the same level at all. Except for the slightly brilliant desperate effort in the Libao Grand Canyon, the others are not worth mentioning. In the end, he said to the brigade commanders in a summary way : "What the hell is this fight called? One just ran to the north desperately, not even letting go, and the other chased along the road, like chasing ducks. Did you see that a few squadrons of little devils, Dare to fight fiercely among thousands or tens of thousands of British people, this battle is not worth watching."

Tang Qiuli, who had already arrived in Myitkyina after receiving battle reports from different angles from Yu Guanghan and Chutian, carefully marked the location of the Yindun River on the map. The life and death of the British depended on How many people can cross this big river is Alexander's last capital.

However, according to his judgment, if Alexander does not take some measures, the British are drinking the Dunjiang River, and the end of the entire army is inevitable. Tang Qiuli himself also praised Ito Gensaburo's way of reinforcements. Isn't it simple?

Knowing that he was fighting Myitkyina, and that Shouichi's remnant army in the temple was no match for the independent division at all, even if it was a long-distance aid, no matter how many troops came, they would have to be here, and it would affect the battle of Mandalay. Just stand still, bite Mandalay tightly, and after receiving the telegram from Shouichi in the temple, they will use their tactics to let the British easily break out of Mandalay.

The so-called "encircling three and missing one, annihilating the enemy in the wild," it seems that Ito has read many Chinese military books, and setting up an ambush in the Ribao Grand Canyon can be said to be a wonderful pen, but the British broke out. Ito's unexpected combat power , Only then did the unsatisfactory results seize the Yindun River, the last natural barrier, ignore the scattered British troops, and strictly order the troops to intersect.

Using all the air power to block all the crossings of the Yindun River, bombing the bridges and roads along the way, slowing down the retreat speed of the British army, assuming that they will not kill all the British, and never give up, Tang Qiuli has seen everything about Ito Regarding the deployment of the campaign, one thing, he is still not sure, if part or most of the British army successfully crosses the Yindun River, will Ito continue to pursue northward?

If Ito ordered the troops to cross the Yindun River and continue to pursue the retreating British troops in the direction of Myitkyina, then Ito would have the confidence and strength to compete with the troops of the Independent Division in the area south of Myitkyina. After annihilating the British army and attacking the north with a victorious force, we have the determination and confidence to solve the Indochina Peninsula issue in one go.

If Ito stops at the south bank of the Yindun River and aims to annihilate most of the British army, his next move is to turn around and attack Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam in the southeast direction, or turn south to attack Sumatra through the corridor of the Malay Peninsula And Kalimantan, it is still uncertain, and Ito's actions also represent the strategic intentions of the Japanese base camp.

In addition to the Kwantung Army, Ito's Southeast Asian Expeditionary Army is currently the largest combat group of the Japanese outside the mainland.

Bearing Emperor Hirohito's ambition and ambition to open up the territory of Southeast Asia, he could judge the movements of the Japanese by keeping an eye on the Ito Group. Tang Qiuli did not want Ito to continue to commit crimes in the north, at least not to cross the Yindun River immediately.

With the strength of the independent division currently concentrated in northern Myanmar, there are eight brigades directly under the Corps. Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps has eleven brigades, and only eight brigades can be used for mobile operations. With more than 20 troops, they will face the The Japanese army has more than [-] soldiers, and it is possible to fight battles, but it is more difficult to use the force.

It is also not in line with Tang Qiuli's consistent strategy of "concentrating superior forces and annihilating the Japanese army in every battle". His vigor made Ito retreat when he knew the difficulty. As for the complete annihilation or elimination of most of the Japanese Southeast Asian dispatched troops, Tang Qiuli was not crazy enough. [

The pattern of the Burmese battlefield has been basically formed. The British retreated to Burma, and it was a foregone conclusion. The next step was the contest between the independent division and the Japanese Southeast Asian dispatched army. In order to make Ito feel threatened, on the evening of June [-], the staff Chang Changfeng, the night when he expressed his different views on the Japanese prisoner-of-war riots.

Tang Qiuli ordered Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan garrison regiment and Ma Chaoyang's southeast mobile corps to clear the remnants of the Japanese and British forces in the southeast of the Indochina Peninsula, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia, and to establish an independent division local management system. Each drew seven brigades of troops, under the personal command of the two, and immediately marched towards Burma.

In the order, Tang Qiuli particularly emphasized that the principle of all troops marching in concealment and not being discovered by the Japanese army was to gather in various important places on the west bank of the Salween River. Among them, Feng Jiwu's troops were based in Taunggyi in central Myanmar, Ma Chaoyang's troops, with Leigu in southern Myanmar as the center point of strategic deployment, extended to the two wings.

In this way, in the Burmese area, [-] brigades of the Independent Division and more than [-] troops were concentrated. Seeing this formation, Ito Gensaburo had to weigh his own weight if he wanted to fight. To force the Japanese to the American side, this is Tang Qiuli's real purpose.

Originally, I wanted to have a long talk with Chang Feng, but there were other important matters, so Tang Qiuli had to find another opportunity. As usual, Tang Qiuli was somewhat relieved, and he put all his energy on paying attention to the situation on the Yindunjiang battlefield.

Ito's strict order has achieved obvious results. With the support of tanks and artillery, the Japanese troops chasing from all directions rushed towards the south bank of the Yindun River. One punch, more confusion.

Francis worked hard, braved the indiscriminate bombing of the Japanese aircraft, just sorted out the scattered troops, and sent out soldiers to find the place where the wading crossed the river. There was a loud noise, and a terrible news spread among the soldiers of the British Burmese Army, "The Japanese have rushed to a place less than five kilometers away from the river!"
