Chapter 165 Retreat (Eighth)

Xidang, the main Japanese army was terrified and vigilant about the position of the anti-Japanese and rescue of the **, for fear that the anti-Japanese and rescue of the ** would suddenly launch an attack on them. Although they still had more than 30,000 people, if the anti-Japanese and rescue of the **, they would obviously be unable to resist it.

Fortunately, a morning passed, and the anti-Japanese rescue and rescue did not launch an attack, which made the Japanese army feel relieved.

"Your Excellency Commander, it seems that the Chinese people do not intend to take the initiative to attack. In this case, if the 54th Division and the 105th Brigade can arrive in time, we will have a chance." Major General Takera Isomura had a smile on his face.

Although yesterday's losses were huge, fortunately, they have not completely lost hope. As long as the plan is successful, they can still reverse the situation and win.

"Well, the Chinese people gave up their attack on us, which was definitely a fatal mistake for them. If they continued to attack last night and defeated us, there would be absolutely no problem." Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki also recovered a little confidence.

This time, he bet on all the main forces of the Myanmar Front in this future battle. If he could win, even if he suffered heavy losses, he would be able to continue leading troops to fight. If he failed, he would probably be completely finished.

"Yes, Lord Commander, the stupid Chinese will pay the price for their actions tomorrow. They will watch and the victory they can win is thrown away and evolve into a failure." Major General Takera Isomura quickly echoed.

The two of them sang together like this, as if they were really determined to fight against Japan and save the country.

"His commander, Chief of Staff, and the 18th Division urgently reported the news." Colonel Kuramachi, senior staff officer of the Myanmar Front, reported.

Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki took the telegram and looked at it. However, soon his face turned ashen.

"Baga! Why is this happening? Why did that guy Mutianjun become like this?" Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki roared.

This telegram was sent by Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya. In the telegram, he claimed that the 18th Division and the 24th Brigade of Independent Mixed Infantry Division were completely defeated by the 1st Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Rescue Division, and are now about to be encircled and annihilated. They can no longer complete the task of delaying the 1st Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Rescue Division.

Major General Takera Isomura quickly took the telegram and started reading it. After reading the telegram, his face also became very ugly.

They were still fantasizing that their combat plan would be successful and defeat the Anti-Japanese and Rescue in one fell swoop. However, before the plan started, they would probably have miscarriage. After the 1st Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Division had solved the 18th Division of the Japanese Army and the 24th Brigade, they would definitely rush to Xidang. At that time, they would face a stronger Anti-Japanese and Rescue Division.

"Hisser Commander, what should we do now? If the 1st Infantry Division of the Chinese people arrives, we may not be able to defeat them." Major General Takera Isomura said with some concern.

Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki naturally knew this. But what can he do next? Will he give up his combat plan and retreat immediately? If that happens, even if he can successfully withdraw, the Burmese Front, which suffered heavy losses, would not be able to confront the Anti-Japanese and Rescue Front again. At that time, he, the commander of the Burmese Front, would probably have the final say.

Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa was unsure of his mind, but soon he helped them fight against Japan and rescue him.

In less than half an hour, a telegram from the 56th Division and the 72nd Brigade of Independent Mixed Brigade was also sent. Major General Ohara Kaneyu reported that the 56th Division and the 72nd Brigade of Independent Mixed Brigade were defeated by the 2nd Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Rescue. The entire army, with only more than 2,000 people left, were retreating to the south.

And this undoubtedly once again gave the Japanese army a heavy blow. If the 18th Division and the 24th Brigade of Independent Mixed Floor were surrounded and annihilated, making their situation even more difficult. Then, the 56th Division and the 72nd Brigade of Independent Mixed Floor were completely wiped out, making them unable to persevere. In this battle, they could not see any chance of winning.

"Baga!" Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa couldn't help but curse.

Major General Takera Isomura also shut up and said nothing. He knew that there was nothing to say now, because there was only one choice they faced.

"Let Sato, Takehara and Mabashi come to see me. In addition, we will inform them of the news of Muda and Watanabe's defeat." Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa said.

"Hi, Commander." Major General Takera Isomura nodded.

In less than ten minutes, Lieutenant General Sato Yukito, Lieutenant General Takehara Saburi and Lieutenant General Masato rushed to the command center, but their faces were also very ugly.

"You guys, everyone is very clear about the current situation. What should we do next?" Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa looked at these division commanders.

"Commander, the Chinese are too powerful, much stronger than our remaining strength now. If we continue to fight, we may follow in the footsteps of Muta-kun and Watanabe. So, I think we must retreat." General Masato Masato made the first statement.

"Yes, Commander. We must preserve our strength. If our three divisions can be withdrawn, plus the 54th Division and the independent 105th Brigade, there will be more than 50,000 people. We can continue to deal with the Chinese people on the battlefield in Myanmar. We can even find ways to defeat the Chinese people with the help of the Southern Army." Takehara Saburo also suggested.

Although Lieutenant General Sato Kotoku didn't say anything, he obviously supported the retreat.

Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki sighed, he knew he had to retreat now.

"Since everyone has decided to retreat, then retreat. However, even if you want to retreat, you have to wait until evening to avoid attracting the attention of the Chinese people and being pursued by them." Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki said.

"Hi, Commander." Several generals nodded repeatedly.

"In addition, inform Akiyama-kun that there is no need to come to Shin-dang. After nightfall, they will retreat directly to Gampolu, where we will meet. Then return to Mandalay." Lieutenant General Shigemae Aoki ordered.

"Hi, Commander." Major General Takera Isomura nodded.

Then, several generals left. Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki began to think about how to report to the commander of the southern army, General Soichi Teruchi, to his miserable defeat this time.

It was not until dark that Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki finished drafting a telegram and sent it out.

At the same time, the main Japanese troops also began to retreat in an orderly manner and flee the battlefield.
