Chapter 1715 The target is completely wiped out
Yangon, the head of the Myanmar War Zone.
Because he was worried about the Japanese Air Force bombing, even at night, the chief officer did not dare to turn on the lights too brightly. There were only a few gas lights in the huge combat room.
In the dim light, Zhong Yi stood in front of the sand table with a frown with a slightly frown.
The sand table shows the latest situation of the Antique Battle. The tank model representing the 1st Armored Brigade has been placed near the Antique where the 1st Japanese Guard Division is located.
The soldiers' models of the 146th and 147th divisions representing the 23rd Army have also approached the ancient style.
Zhong Yi's eyes turned to the west bank of Xidang River, and saw that four soldiers representing the four divisions of the 22nd Army of Deng Xihou had also advanced to the front line on the west bank of Xidang River.
There was also a gun model pushing forward with Deng Xihou's 22nd Army.
This artillery model represents an independent artillery brigade directly under the command of the war zone chief.
The equipment of this independent artillery brigade was also received from the British and Burmese army, with a total of 48 75mm caliber Bufoss mountain cannons.
So in this counterattack tonight, Zhong Yi took almost all the belongings of the Myanmar War Zone. Only one artillery brigade was dispatched, and the only one armored brigade was dispatched. He held it in his hand and acted as the strategic reserve team, all four divisions of the 22nd Army, which he held it as the strategic reserve team, were dispatched, and even one regiment was not left!
At this time, Yangon had almost become an empty city.
If Ishihara Kaner was brave enough and sent an infantry gang to attack, even if he could not even bring down Zhong Yi's command, he could at least cause chaos in the entire Myanmar war zone.
In short, Zhong Yi took all his belongings this time.
This is how Zhong Yi’s personality is. He either doesn’t move, and he will do his best to move.
However, even if you try your best, Zhong Yi cannot guarantee that he can win safely.
Because the Japanese Guards 2nd Division was in Dengse, it was less than two hundred miles away from Guse.
This means that if the ancient battle cannot be ended before dawn, the intention of severely damaging or even encircling and annihilation of the 1st Japanese Guards Division will be vain.
If the Japanese 25th Army cannot be hit this time, the situation in the future will worsen.
Then, it is impossible to achieve the tactical goal of sticking to at least one month in Yangon.
If you cannot hold on to Yangon for at least one month, it will affect the next stage of defensive operations in northern Myanmar.
If a large number of weapons and equipment aided by the US government are lost to Myanmar before it is shipped to Myanmar, it will be a big trouble.
This means that in the next stage of counterattack, it can only launch a counterattack like the original time and space, using India's Impal as the logistics base.
This will undoubtedly greatly affect the efficiency of the expeditionary force!
This result is absolutely intolerable to Zhong Yi.
Therefore, this battle of ancient sex must hurt the Japanese army!
The telegrams in the communication room next door were beating, and from time to time, communication soldiers hurried out and handed Wang Geng one by one piece of telegram after another.
After Wang Geng summed up, he either handed it to the responsible staff or came directly to Zhong Yi.
After receiving another telegram from the front line, Wang Geng suddenly showed joy on his face, and then quickly walked to Zhong Yi and said, "Master, good news, the 1st Armored Brigade has broken into the division headquarters of the 1st Japanese Guards Division and joined forces with the special operations team led by Usa Mirō."
"Okay!" Zhong Yi nodded vigorously when he heard this.
The beheading battle of the special operations team led by Mitsuru Usa was very successful, killing more than 100 people, including the commander of the 1st Guard Division, Kiyoji Sasaki and Chief of Staff Seiichi Yamada. However, this does not mean that the 1st Guard Division has completely lost its effective command, because all the regiments below the division maintain a complete system.
Only when the Armored 1st Brigade breaks into the division headquarters can the Japanese army be completely in chaos.
Wang Geng flipped over the second telegram and said: "Now, the 1st Armored Brigade has divided its troops into three groups, and rushed to the docks by the Xidang River, launching an attack on the Japanese transport fleet; attacking the artillery positions of the 1st Japanese Guard Division; the other party is in concert with the 146th and 147th Divisions that follow up together to sweep away the remaining enemies!"
After pausing, Wang Geng said again: "General, the troops left by the 1st Japanese Guard Division on the east bank of Xidang River have completely fallen into chaos. It is only a matter of time before the entire army is destroyed!"
Zhong Yi said: "I never worry about the battle on the east bank of the Xidang River. What I worry about is the war on the West Bank!"
"Yes." Wang Geng nodded and said, "There is a half-infantry corps of the Japanese army on the west bank of the Xidang River. Although the 22nd Army of Deng Xihou has the strength of the fourth division and the firepower support of the independent artillery brigade, it is really hard to say that this battle has some chance of winning, but fortunately, there is no time limit for the battle on the west bank! Unlike the battle on the east bank, it must end before dawn, so we still have a chance to fight on the west bank."
"Yeah!" Zhong Yi nodded and said in a deep voice, "The Japanese army on the east coast only needs to be defeated, but the Japanese army on the west coast must be completely wiped out! None of them can be left!"
...
In Maulammian, the 25th Japanese Army Command.
Because of the long-term rest, coupled with the food poisoning some time ago, Ishihara Kan's body looked even more haggard.
But the old Japanese did not change his style or habits because of his weak body. He was like this and he even called prostitutes to do whatever he wanted last night.
Kamidi Huaxiong was very worried that Ishihara Kan's body would not be able to hold on.
Seeing Ishihara Kaner's face turned pale and a fine cold sweat oozing from his forehead, Gu Di Huaxiong couldn't help but persuade: "Commander, why don't you go back and rest?"
"No, I'm fine." Ishihara Kan, waved his hand and then asked, "Kun Tani, where has the reinforcements of the 2nd Guard Division arrived?"
"I have just passed the vicinity of Tindang." Gu Dina Huaxiong replied, "It's about half the way."
"Half way?" Ishihara Kaner raised his wrist and looked at his watch, his face even more anxious.
Gu Dina Huaxiong sighed and said, "Commander, the troops left by the 1st Guard Division on the east bank of the Xidang River have been defeated by a foregone conclusion. The only suspense now is how many troops can escape back and how much equipment can be saved? But Bei Zhi feels that the final result will probably not be too optimistic."
After a pause, Gu Di Na Huaxiong said again: "After all, the counterattack of the Chinese army was too sudden! Especially their chariot troops, it seemed to appear underground! The guards sent by the 1st Division of the Guards were unaware of it? This is simply unbelievable!"
