Anti-Japanese Special Forces Through Time and Space

Chapter 290 VII Expedition to Burma ([-])

"General Stilwell! There is no need for praise! It's better to be more affordable. If you help me get some tanks or artillery, I will be satisfied!" Zhang Lieyang said with a smile.

"There is no problem with this! But first you have to get through the transportation line in Yangon! Otherwise, our warships will not be able to dock!" Stilwell said with a smile.

At this time, the instructors who received the order, the artillery of the 187th Division and the 717th Division coincidentally launched a fierce shelling at the Japanese army outside Mandalay!Dazed by the artillery of the three heavy artillery regiments, they turned to the 78th Division of the Japanese Army, which suffered heavy casualties. Under the command of the division commander Dongchuan Ren'an, they reluctantly gave up the siege of Mandalay and retreated obediently.

The instructor who had crossed Mandalay saw the Japanese army retreating in embarrassment!Zhang Xiangwu exclaimed excitedly: "Brothers, catch up and destroy the Devil's 78th Division!" At this time, Qiu Miekou, the brigade commander of the 187th Brigade of the 313th Division, who had rushed up, also shouted at Zhang Xiangwu's cry. He raised his voice and shouted: "Brothers, follow me! When we meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!"

The cries of killing, one after another, immediately frightened the 78th Division of the Japanese Army, which had no combat effectiveness, and instantly collapsed into the surrounding dense forest.There are many Japanese soldiers who fled into the primitive dense forest and later became savages, which will not be detailed in the later text!

大约追出了20多公里后，散乱的日军第78师团冲入了毫无准备的日军第96师团，很快第96师团的营地顿时被第78师团的残兵弄的混乱了起来。就在第78师团冲入第96师团营地的同时，三个全部自动武器杀气腾腾的精锐师也跟着杀了进去。

After a fierce pursuit, the 96th Division of the Japanese Army took the remnants of the 78th Division and retreated to Yanglaiding in a desperate defeat before stabilizing its position.Seeing the Japanese army that had already retreated into Yanglaiding, the instructors, the pursuers of the 187th Division and the 717th Division retreated to Mandalay helplessly.

The commander of the 96th Division of the Japanese Army who had retreated to Yanglaiding, Lieutenant General Kouyuu Hojiro, angrily cursed at the commander of the 78th Division, Higashikawa Ren'an: "Bageya Road! You really fell into it." The face of a senior military officer of our Great Japanese Empire! Why don't you die?!"

At this time, the Chief of Staff of the 96th Division, Major General Mingri Qingmin, took the telegram from General Ichita Jiro, the commander of the Burmese Front Army, and walked up to Jiuyou Hojiro and said, "Your Excellency, Commander! Commander's call back!"

"Read!" Jiuyou Fengjiro said expressionlessly.

“命令第96师团整编第78师团残兵！休整五天后，与第31师团汇合再次对曼德勒发起进攻！命令第78师团师团长东川仁安和参谋长吉野大藏自裁，向天皇陛下谢罪！”第96师团参谋长明日庆民面无表情的读完了电报后对第96师团师团长九幽奉次郎说道：“刚刚接到最新的情报英国驻缅甸方面军司令亚历山大和参谋长海威尔被我军特工部队击杀！”

"Then? (What?)" Hearing Mingri Qingmin's words, Jiuyou Fengjiro said in disbelief: "This is really good news! No wonder the Chinese army came to rescue the British! The Americans must have no choice! Or after the Americans coordinated, the troops of the Chinese were transferred!" Hokyuu Houjiro said seriously: "Telegram the commander, the troops in charge of the defense of Mandalay are the troops of the new No.13 Army of China! Request Send more troops!"

Ichita Jiro, the commander of the Burmese Front Army, asked after receiving the telegram from Jiuyou Houjiro: "Ono-kun, do you think we are going to send more troops?!"

"Your Excellency, if it is really the new No. 13 Army of China, the chief of staff of the base camp, Tsuna Masa Shithou, once said that one division of this army can defeat one of our Class A divisions, so I will pay more for this army. It would be better to send some more troops there!" Chief of Staff Motoji Ono said seriously.

"In this case, immediately order the No.20 Eighth Army in Yangon to go to Yanglai Ding immediately, and the 96th Division is temporarily assigned to the No.20 Eighth Army to command the Chinese Army that will wipe out Mandalay at all costs!" Commander of the Myanmar Front Army General Ichita Jiro said seriously.

At the same time when Ichita Jiro gave the order, the quick reaction division, 187th division and 717th division, which had already shrunk their forces, quickly completed all the assembly in Mandalay.After the assembly, Zhang Xiangwu said to Bisheng and Liu Sihai: "The battle just now was really not enjoyable! If we had been faster, we could have encircled and wiped out the two divisions of the Japanese army!"

"Yes! But I don't know what the commander's next plan is! If possible, I really want to take down Yanglaiding!" Fang Bisheng said seriously.

After a while, the commander-in-chief of the British army in Mandalay walked up to Zhang Xiangwu and the others and said, "I am Lieutenant General Ken Joseph, the supreme commander of the British army here! Thank you for coming to rescue us! Thank you for your help I would like to express my 12 thanks to you and your government! At the same time, I express my admiration for your bravery!"

Zhang Xiangwu replied with a smile: "You don't have to thank us! If our Supreme Command hadn't given us an order, we would still be resting now! Then again! If it wasn't for you, Alexander, the commander of the British Army in Burma, who would not let us If we enter Myanmar and let us linger on the Burma Highway, I believe today's ending will be completely different!"

When Ken Joseph heard Zhang Xiangwu's words, he nodded thoughtfully and said, "I have received an order to retreat! I will leave the supplies stored here to you! I hope you will make good use of these supplies!" Said After Ken Joseph gave Zhang Xiangwu a standard military salute, they turned and left.

Seeing the back of Ken Joseph leaving, Fang Bisheng said with a smile: "I didn't expect this old British man to be cute!" At this moment, Su Jianguo walked up to Zhang Xiangwu and the others with a telegram and said, "The commander called and ordered us to take Man All the supplies in Dele are transported to Hsipaw, and all the departments return to the original defense area! Then the instructor is responsible for turning the whole Mandalay into a minefield!"

After hearing what Su Jianguo said, Fang Bisheng took the telegram and looked at it and said, "It seems that the commander has made up his mind to fulfill his wish for unification this time!" Liu Sihai, who had been quietly by the side when he heard Fang Bisheng's words, said seriously: " The commander is a true professional soldier! If nothing else, the commander will definitely choose to retire after the end of the War of Resistance! At that time, we must also think about our retreat!"

"That's true! But I can tell you one thing! Whenever the commander retires, the instructor and the special operations force will be disbanded!" Zhang Zhang looked at his watch and said, "It's getting late! We Let's split up!" After speaking, Zhang Xiangwu turned and left.

About three hours later, Zhang Xiangwu looked at the smoke and dust retreating from the 717th Division and the 187th Division and ordered with a smile: "Tell all the brothers! Let them each use their own abilities to turn this Mandalay into an insurmountable minefield!"
