Anti-Japanese heroic righteousness

Terauchi Shouichi’s explanation made Tsukada Gong firmly believe in his own judgment. The biggest reason is that although it is more than a hundred miles away from Homalin to Imphal, the distance near Imphal is a vast plain, a real jungle area. It is only a hundred miles away. If the British army comes forward, it is not difficult to recruit 10,000 civilians. In addition to the tens of thousands of expatriates on the road, [-]+ people rush to repair a road. It will definitely be opened to traffic within two months, so that the expeditionary force will have A forward base has been established, which can completely realize the foundation of gaining a foothold in Myanmar.

Temple Shou waved his hands again and again, and said: "Mr. Tsukada, you are too imaginative, so what if the expeditionary forces occupy Homalin, from Homalin to Mengguan to Hukang Valley and then Mina, He walked more than half a circle around Bujieban Mountain and Jianbu Mountain. The whole journey is seven to eight hundred miles. What will he use to guarantee such a long supply line? Also, the premise is that the 75th Army behind can defend Hu Kang Hegu, otherwise even if they take down the secret, they will be surrounded by the imperial army, unless he has no intention of breaking the secret at all??????"

Speaking of this, Terauchi Shouyi was suddenly stunned, motionless as if he had been frozen.This sudden change startled Tsukada Gong, he hurriedly stepped forward to support Terauchi Shouichi, and said anxiously, "What's wrong with Terauchi-kun, what's wrong with you, Siuchi-kun?"

Tsukada Gong yelled several times in a row, and Terauchi Shouichi seemed to have sensed it. He pushed Tsukada Gong away, walked quickly to the huge map on the wall, and looked at it carefully for a while. Tsukada Gong and the general staff in the room were terrified, but they didn't dare to go up and ask, but they all knew that there must be a huge change in the battle situation, and it was a catastrophic change.In an instant, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became very dignified.

After a long time, Tsukada Gong couldn't restrain himself, and bravely asked, "Sisi Neijun, what exactly did you find?"

Terauchi Shouichi glanced blankly at Tsukada Gong, and asked an irrelevant question: "Tukada-kun, how soon can the No. 18 Division arrive in Yangon?"

Tsukada was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Terauchi Toshiichi to ask this suddenly, but he quickly replied: "Even if they assemble immediately, and then mobilize warships to send them to Yangon Port, it will take at least four to five days."

"It's over, it's over, we're afraid we're going to lose the battle in front of us?" Terauchi Shou put his head in his hands, as if in extreme pain, and only revealed the whole story after repeated questioning by Tsukada Gong.

The threadbare discussion with Tsukada Gong just now gave Terauchi Toshiichi a lot of inspiration. If Jiang Haoran cracked down on secrets, it would be a cover. But his ultimate goal is not Homalin, but Yingdo. Meng Gong is now in the hands of the expeditionary army, and he has opened up the conditions for the expeditionary army to advance to Yingdo along the west bank of the Irrawaddy River. The Second Division has no defense at all, and if the expeditionary force joins the British army to enter from Imphal and the three-way army presses up, if the Second Division does not escape, there will be no scum left.

Combined with Jiang Haoran's lineup in the Hukang River Valley and Mina, and the disappearance of the Fifth Army, Terauchi Shouichi can be sure that this possibility is as high as 70.00%. Jiang Haoran's two-day toss has already reduced the number of troops that the Imperial Army can mobilize by 80.00%. % of the troops were transferred to the rear of the Hukang River Valley and Mina, and it was too late to return to Yingdoyi at this time, and the No. 18 Division, the only reinforcement that the imperial army could count on, was still far away in the Philippines, and it took five days to reach Yangdoi. Guanggang, even if Yangon Port prepares enough wagons, it will take one day to reach Yingdo, but if this idea becomes a reality, the expeditionary force will be able to reach the outskirts of Yingdo in at most three days, and the second division can be sent to Yingdo in one day. Knock the bone and suck the marrow.

After occupying Yingduo, the expeditionary army is backed by Homalin, and Imphal is behind them. Then, according to Tsukada Gong's words, the India-Myanmar road will be built. Supplies will not be a problem at all. Meng Gongtian is in the hands of the expeditionary army. Don't expect to be able to counterattack from here. With the Inovaddy River as a barrier in front, it will be very difficult to fight through.Moreover, don’t expect to enter their Laodi from Mengguan. The distance of several hundred miles requires you to cross several mountains and rivers. The logistics cannot be guaranteed at all. Once the rainy season comes, the rivers will flood everywhere, and the logistics will basically be cut off. , No matter how many people go there, they have to get stuck there.

As soon as Terauchi Shouyi said this, Tsukada Gong also broke out in a cold sweat, and he also realized that this possibility exists completely. This is in line with Jiang Haoran's style, seeking victory by surprise and danger.But Tsukada Gong immediately pointed out that they are not without a solution. As long as they solve the two armies of Hukang River Valley and Mina before they surround Yingduo, and cut off one of his wings, this situation will not be attacked. Self-defeating.

With a wry smile, Terauchi Shouichi pushed the telegram sent by Tanaka Shinichi to Tsukada Gong. After comparing Tanaka Shinichi's description with the aerial photos, Terauchi Shouichi completely agreed with Tanaka Shinichi's opinion, this Hu Kanghe Valley is not good beat.

On this point, Tsukada Gong also agrees, but he thinks they can still attack the No.60 Sixth Army outside Mina City. They cannot encircle the Hukang River Valley from Mengguan, and they can completely defeat the No.60 Sixth Army from here. Outflank the past, but the premise is that the No.60 Sixth Army cannot retreat to Meng Gong, which will still pose a threat to Yingduo.

Besides, Toshiichi Terauchi had no other better solution. Just when he was about to order an all-out attack on the No.60 Sixth Army of the Expeditionary Force, a staff officer rushed over and reported an urgent telegram from Mina's No.16 Division. , A large number of paratroopers were suddenly found outside Mina City.

This news is like a pot of cold water being poured over the head on a snowy day, and the enthusiasm of the people in the room has just been ignited, but it is immediately extinguished. Jiang Haoran's paratroopers wiped out a regiment of the Imperial Army in half an hour. This kind of horror No. 60 Sixth Army has only [-] troops, but after this paratrooper, who knows if there will be a third one?I'm afraid no one can tell.

The faces of Shouichi and Tsukada Gong in the temple were ashen, and the generals in the house did not dare to say a word, but the news that made them even more desperate came again, forty or fifty helicopters had just arrived at the frontier of Mina.

"Baga! Baga!" Temple Shouyi couldn't hold back no matter how well-bred he was, he roared loudly, and he swept all the photos and documents on the table all over the floor.

What is strange is that Chief of Staff Tsukada Makoto was uncharacteristically when he heard the news, his eyes lit up, and he was so excited that he danced and was speechless for a long time.

It wasn't until Terauchi Shouyi looked at him with an extremely strange look that Tsukada Gong said excitedly: "Good news, Terauchi-kun, this is good news!"

Shouyi in the temple was stunned, as if he had realized something, he said tentatively: "You mean the helicopter has been transferred to Mina, and it's time to attack the Hukang River Valley?"
