"Bagayaru!"

Ishihara Kaner immediately twitched on his face when he heard this.

It was just the first battle, and nearly two brigades were killed and killed!

In contrast, in the previous battles on the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, the 25th Army continued to advance to Singapore and forced more than 100,000 British troops to surrender, but only four infantry brigades were killed or killed.

The Chinese army is indeed much stronger than the British army.

Gu Dina Huaxiong also said: "The Chinese army is much better than the British army in terms of combat literacy and combat experience, especially in terms of combat will, the Chinese army even kills the British army in seconds!"

"Most of the British army were minions summoned from the colonies and had a weak fighting will."

"But the Chinese army is basically Sichuanese, and almost all of these Sichuanese are not afraid of death."

"Just talking about the Chinese army guarding Madaban City, they actually had the courage to break up with Madaban City...!"

"But what makes the Chinese army most awe-inspiring than the British army is their cunning!"

"The Chinese army is really too cunning. All kinds of conspiracies and tricks are emerging one after another, making people unable to defend themselves."

"Enough, Gu Di, don't say anything more." Ishihara Kaner stretched out his hand and interrupted Hua Xiong of Gu Di, not letting him continue to say, is it interesting to praise the Chinese army in such a fancy way?

Emphasize the strength of the enemy and find reasons to excuse one's own failure?

Failure is failure, I Ishihara Kaner will never excuse me for myself!

After a moment of pause, Ishihara Kaner said again: "Yes, I admit that the Chinese army is indeed very cunning, and all kinds of conspiracies are indeed emerging one after another, especially Zhong Yi, who is famous for being cruel and cunning!"

"But what I want to say is that in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies are futile!"

"As long as our main force of the 25th Army crosses the Salwin River, it will be a smooth road from Madaban City to Yangon!"

"No matter how cunning Zhong Yi is or how brave the Sichuan Army is, they cannot stop the progress of the 25th Army!"

"Hayi!" Gu Dina Huaxiong paused and said in a deep voice, "The Chinese army did not deploy heavy troops on the west bank of the Salwen River, which was the biggest mistake they made."

Ishihara Kanir said again: "Has the motorbank's railway station been destroyed?"

"Hai." Gu Dina Huaxiong's first road, "not only the railway station, but also the railway was destroyed. All the railways were demolished and transported away, and even the sleepers were transported away."

"This is also expected, hum!" Ishihara smiled and said, "But it would be too naive if Zhong Yi thought that destroying the railway would prevent the imperial army from advancing."

"Order the 8th Division to replace the 18th Division as a vanguard force and attack along the railway in the direction of Tindang."

"The 18th Division heads north along the west bank of the Salwin River and attacks towards the Shan Gang to cut off the retreat route of the Chinese army."

"The 1st Guard Division, the 2nd Guard Division, the 13th Independent Heavy Artillery Regiment, and the 7th Independent Chariot Regiment, we must also seize the time to cross the river."

"Hayi!"

...

In Yangon, the head of the Myanmar War Zone.

At this time, it had been two days since the Salwin River defense line was lost.

Wang Geng brought several combat staff from the General Staff to display the latest updates of the Japanese army on the large map on the wall.

But I saw two huge blue arrows extending over with the fulcrum on the east bank of the Salwin River.

One of the arrows follows the railway line and points directly to the last line of defense before Yangon, while the other arrows follow the west bank of the Salwin River and directly to Shan State directly to the north.

"General, Ishihara Kaner's intention is very obvious." Wang Geng said in a deep voice, "not only does he want to occupy Yangon military force, but he also wants to capture all our troops gathered in southern Myanmar!"

"Catch it all in one go?" Zhong Yi said with a sneer, "Then he must have such good eloquence."

After pausing, Zhong Yi said again: "Order, the 23rd Army will immediately send two additional divisions to seize the high ground of Paben and Dakun, and block the Japanese army heading north along the west bank of the Salwin River."

"I want to take the lead? Humph, it's simply a delusion!"

...

There is a small town called Mengzhen a hundred kilometers north of Xidian.

The commander of the 23rd Army led by Pan Wenhua is located here.

Amid the rapid footsteps, Guo Xunqi, who had been promoted to chief of staff of the group army, hurried into the combat room and said to Pan Wenhua: "Supervisor Zhong, the latest telegram from the chief officer, let us send two additional divisions to cooperate with Gao Xianwen's new 7th Division to seize the Paben and Dakun line to block the 18th Japanese Division that was heading north along the west bank of the Salwin River."

"Did the Japanese 18th Division head north along the west bank of the Salwin River?"

Pan Wenhua, Zhou Mengxiong and Chen Wanren, two deputy commanders-in-chiefs immediately walked to the map posted on the wall.

Guo Xunqi followed and compared it on the map, because the news had just been received, and the staff of the General Staff of the Group Army did not have time to do the work on the map.

"I have a big appetite." Pan Wenhua snorted coldly and said, "Ishihara Kaner is trying to swallow all the troops in our Myanmar War Zone in one bite! You are not afraid of suffocating yourself to death!"

"But the combat effectiveness of the 18th Division is not weak." Guo Xunqi said in a deep voice, "Ship Zhong, otherwise we will transfer the 144th Division and the 145th Division to the place, and then I will go to Paben and Dakun in person."

The 144th Division, the 145th Division, and the newly formed 7th Division were originally organized by the 50th Army.

Before Guo Xunqi was promoted to Chief of Staff of the Group Army, he was also the commander of the 50th Army. Therefore, if he was allowed to go to Paben, it would be reasonable to take charge of the command line.

Pan Wenhua was a little hesitant.

Zhong Yi’s abolishment of the military-level establishment has its own reasons.

Guo Xunqi is a famous general in Sichuan, but after all, he has never attended a modern military academy. He is familiar with and follows the old set of military theories, but now this set of military theories can no longer keep up with the times!

The reason why Zhong Yi wanted to abolish the military-level system and even the command function of the Group Army Command was weakened, it was more of a liaison function to upload and issue, which was to improve command efficiency!

At this moment, Pan Wenhua said tactfully: "Yizhi, it's okay to transfer the 144th Division, the 145th Division is over. I agree completely, but don't go, I can't live without you here."

Guo Xunqi's eyes immediately dimmed.

Although Pan Wenhua said tactfully, he had already heard it.

At that moment, Guo Xunqi said sadly: "I will issue an order to the 144th Division and the 145th Division."

Watching Guo Xunqi turn around and leave with a disappointed expression, Pan Wenhua sighed softly.

In reality, these old soldiers could no longer keep up with the times and could only serve as a bridge to connect the division commanders such as Zhong Yi and Gao Xianwen.

To take overall control of the situation, Zhong Yi still needs to do it.
