Near Gusse, the 1st Japanese Guard Division.

Chief of Staff Seiichi Yamada walked into the command tent and reported to Kiyoji Sasaki: "Chief of the division, the fleet has returned, are you still going to arrange troops to cross the river?"

Kiyoji Sasaki looked at the night outside the window and said, "Forget it, let's cross the river again when dawn."

"Hayi." Yamada Sei-chan said, "The soldiers have been tired all day today, so let them have a good night's sleep."

After a pause, Yamada Seiichi continued: "Tomorrow, I'm afraid there will be a bad battle to fight."

"Yes." Kiyoji Sasaki nodded and said, "After crossing the Sidang River, even Bogu is the last barrier to protect Yangon. If nothing unexpected happens, the Chinese army will definitely guard against each other!"

"Hayi." Yamada Sei repeatedly paused his head, "Then, the division commander should rest sooner."

"Am I?" Kiyoji Sasaki shook his head and said, "I can't rest yet. I haven't patroled tonight yet."

"Let me go to the night patrol." Yamada Seiichi said respectfully, "The division commander should take a break early."

"No, as the commander of the division, how can someone do such a night patrol?" Sasaki Kiyoji said, turning around and walking out of the tent.

Seiichi Yamada followed and said, "Then let me patrol the night with the division commander."

Kiyoji Sasaki did not refuse because he wanted to find someone to talk to him at this time.

After leaving the tent, I saw that the base of the 1st Guard Division was already silent. Except for the lights in the camps of the field hospital, most of the camps of other troops were shrouded in darkness.

As we all know, Japan is an island country with a lack of oil.

Therefore, diesel for power generation and even kerosene for lighting lamps can be saved as much as possible.

So after nightfall, except for the field hospitals that have to undergo surgery, the camps of other troops will at most burn a few bonfires.

After a while, the two old Japanese men walked to the position of the heavy artillery corps.

Under the night, I saw a 150mm caliber field howitzer 4-year-old Taisho 150mm caliber field howitzer crouching on the ground, and its straight barrel was inserted into the night sky obliquely, just like the fangs that a giant beast bared towards the sky.

At this time, the artillery soldiers on the artillery positions had basically fallen asleep.

Under the night, you can vaguely see red fire heads burning.

A faint fragrance can be vaguely smelled in the air, which is a mosquito coil.

In this ghost place in Myanmar, if you don’t light mosquito coils at night, you can’t fall asleep!

This faint mosquito coil caught Kiyoji Sasaki's addiction to smoking, and immediately sat down with a 150mm caliber field howitzer in Taisho.

He took out a pack of chrysanthemum brand cigarettes from his pocket.

"Yamada, let me have one?" Sasaki Kiyoji asked.

"No need." Yamada Seiichi waved his hand and said, "I don't smoke."

"Yes, I forgot that you don't smoke." Kiyoji Sasaki smiled and ignited himself.

After igniting it, he took a deep breath. Sasaki Kiyoji felt the pleasure brought to him by the thick smoke rolling in his lungs, while saying satisfied: "It's really quiet."

"Hai." Yamada Sei-chan said, "The night tonight is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated."

"Haha, Yamada Jun is worthy of being a top student at Imperial University." Kiyoji Sasaki joked, "Every casual chat, the words he said are so poetic and picturesque."

"Where?" Yamada Seiichi waved his hand, and just as he was about to say a few words of moderation, his face suddenly changed.

"Hmm?" Almost at the same time, Kiyoji Sasaki also heard a strange sound, frowned and said, "What sound?"

"It seems..." Yamada Seiichi listened intently for a moment, then suddenly turned to the south, frowned and said, "It seems to be the roar of the car engine? No, it doesn't sound like a car, it doesn't look like a car."

"It's a tank!" Sasaki Kiyoji said decisively, "It's the roar of the tank engine."

"Yes, it's a tank." Yamada Seiichi said, "Has the headquarters sent the chariot troops here again?"

"Impossible." Kiyoji Sasaki said decisively, "If the headquarters wants to dispatch chariot troops here, it will definitely say hello to us in advance, so how could it be sent over without saying a word..."

Speaking of this, Kiyoji Sasaki suddenly stopped.

The next moment, the two old Japanese men stood up.

"Chinese Army, Chinese Army!" Sasaki Kiyoji said sternly, "Chinese Army's chariot troops!"

Yamada Seiichi was still a little unbelievable and frowned and said, "The Chinese army has a chariot unit?"

"This must be left to them by the British and Myanmar army!" Kiyoji Sasaki roared in anger, "Those idiots from the intelligence department were fooled. The British and Myanmar army did not take the tanks away, but left them to the Chinese army!"

After saying this, Kiyoji Sasaki turned around and shouted at the adjutant: "Come on the alarm!"

The adjutant following Kiyoji Sasaki quickly took out the alarm from his bag and pulled it out.

The next moment, a harsh alarm immediately surged into the sky, shattering the silence of the military camp.

Hearing the alarm, the artillery soldiers who were sleeping woke up one after another and sat up in a hurry.

Kiyoji Sasaki and Seiichi Yamada did not rush to return to the division headquarters, but immediately climbed a nearby commanding height. Standing on this commanding height, looking southward, the lights were already on.

Looking at the dense lights under the night sky, the two old Japanese instantly took a breath of air conditioning.

"So many?" Yamada Seiichi said in a lost voice, "There is at least one wing, and at least hundreds of tanks!"

"Bagayalu!" Sasaki Kiyoji almost burst out with a fierce curse from his teeth. At this moment, he really regretted his intestines. He had known that he would not have allowed the war artillery brigade to cross the river last night!

Now, without the war artillery brigade, how can we deal with the national tanks?

Although the 1st Guard Division also has a chariot corps, the chariot corps actually only has two squadrons, with only more than fifty Type 95 light tanks. Kiyoji Sasaki did not think that with these two chariot squadrons, he could compete with the entire armored regiment left to the Chinese army by the British and Burmese army.

The only hope may be that the Chinese army is not yet proficient in driving tanks.

After all, according to the intelligence provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Chinese army in the Myanmar War Zone were all Sichuan troops.

These Sichuan Army had never used cannons much, so it was even more difficult for them to drive tanks.

"Order!" Sasaki Kiyoji gritted his teeth and said, "The tank corps immediately attacked and stopped the tank troops of the Chinese army! Then contact the transport troops and transport the war defense artillery brigade back to the west bank as soon as possible, even if it is transported back to a squadron! By the way, the news of the Chinese army being put into the counterattack of the tank troops will be reported to the headquarters as soon as possible!"

"Hayi!" Yamada Seiichi bowed heavily, and signaled the adjutant behind him to go and convey the order.
