Chapter 1730 Request for reinforcements
Bamo was very happy, Aung San and Wu Nu were also very happy, because they were once again received by Ishihara Kanir and commended in person.
"Aung Sansang, Wu Nusang, I really thank you this time."
"If you don't dare to take it, you won't be able to do it."
"Yes, I couldn't find the hiding location of the Chinese artillery even when I arrived. It's a pity."
"It's already amazing. If you helped us destroy the Chinese army's chariot troops, you have already helped the imperial army." Ishihara Kaner waved his hand and personally distributed condolences to the two of them.
This time, the Myanmar National Army suffered certain casualties in order to help the Japanese 25th Army.
Although the team sent to the near Daiwu completed the mission, it was also chased by the Chinese army and eventually destroyed the entire army, so Ishihara Kanir must make some statement.
Then he encouraged Aung San and the others to say a few words, and Ishihara Kan said to Gu Di Na Hua Xiong to send them out in person.
When Gu Di Na Hua Xiong saw Aung San away and returned to the headquarters' combat room, he saw that the headquarters' combat staff had all arrived.
A staff officer placed the map he had just drawn on the table.
Ishihara Kan's eyes fell on the map, and the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy.
Why? Because the huge red arrow that originally pointed to the antique, representing the 1st Division of the Guards has disappeared, but there are two huge blue arrows, pointing to the antique from Yangon to the west and Ruijin to the north, which represents the 22nd Army and the 27th Army of the Chinese army.
This is the latest trend of the Myanmar War or Tin War.
Looking at the map, a combat staff member suddenly sighed: "It would be great if the Navy Combined Fleet was in Myanmar. Just one squadron could break through the British Royal Navy's blockade of Madaban Bay. Just send an infantry gang to Yangon and destroy Zhong Yi's command center, and the Battle of Xidanghe could end."
"Sodes." Another combatant adviser echoed, "Zhong Yi now has the last reserve team in his company. The 22nd Army of the Chinese Navy has also been transferred to Guse. Yangon is already very empty. If an infantry gang suddenly lands in Yangon at this time, the situation can be reversed immediately."
"Enough, shut up." Seeing Ishihara's face becoming more and more embarrassing, Gu Di Huaxiong couldn't help but shout out to stop the two staff officers, "Don't waste everyone's time with this meaningless assumption."
If the Navy Combined Fleet were in Madaban Bay, there wouldn't be a Battle of Tin, and what happened at that time was the Battle of Yangon, okay?
"Hayi!" The two combat staff quickly paused towards Gu Di's Huaxiong and shut up.
Ishihara Kaner turned his attention to Kamidi Huaxiong and asked, "What do you think about Kamidi's group?"
A glimmer flashed across Gu Di's Huaxiong's face and said, "Commander, although you are reluctant to admit it, the fact is the fact. Our 25th Army is now at the end of its strength. Before we obtain new reinforcements, the Battle of Xidanghe is probably unable to continue."
Ishihara sighed with a long sigh.
This sentence was something Ishihara Kanir was unwilling to say, so he had to use the mouth of Kamido Kamina Huaxiong.
What Gu Di Na Hua Xiong said is right. Facts are facts and are not transferred by anyone's will.
Since the Battle of Xidanghe, the 8th Division, which is mainly attacking Xidang, the 18th Division on the front line of Kunda, has become tired of the division and looks weak in attack. The 1st Division of Guards, which is mainly attacking the ancient style, has suffered severe damage and will never be able to recover its combat effectiveness in a short period of time.
The only thing left is the 2nd Guard Division, which was always held in his hand by Ishihara Kanir.
However, just relying on a 2nd Guard Division, no matter whether it is invested in tin, Paben or antique direction, there is no confidence and a breakthrough is made quickly.
This means that the 25th Army has actually lost its offensive ability.
So what they need to do now is to ask for help from the Southern Army General Command.
"Please help." Ishihara sighed and ordered Gu Di to Huaxiong, "Gu Di to pay homage to the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army immediately and requested that at least two or more reinforcements be sent to Myanmar."
"Hayi." Gu Dina Huaxiong paused heavily, turned around and sent a telegram.
...
In Saigon, Vietnam.
The Japanese Southern Army headquarters was busy, and several senior officials including Ishii Masami were taking the headquarters guards to pack the documents in the headquarters.
The commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, Teruchika, stood in front of the map that had not been closed, and appreciated the "great achievements" of the Southern Army.
The achievements made by the Southern Army in this short period of less than two months are indeed worthy of the four great achievements, because from the map, the entire Southeast Asia has almost been covered by the empire's rising sun flag.
From Saigon in Vietnam to Singapore in Malaya, from Manila in the Philippines to Jakarta, even to Australia in the south and to Haviu in the east, all have become the territory of the empire!
It’s not just about expanding the land thousands of miles? It’s simply about expanding the land thousands of miles!
The territory of the Great Japanese Empire was never as vast and huge as it is today!
And the greatest contributor to all this is undoubtedly the Southern Army he commanded!
Don’t be humble. Although the establishment of the Southern Army was short, the achievements made far exceed those of the Kwantung Army and the Chinese condemnation army. It can be said that it has the most outstanding military achievements among the four major armies of the Great Japanese Empire!
And he, Earl Toichi Tanouchi, as the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army, is likely to be promoted to the rank of marshal because of this!
Thinking of this, Sora Tekanai immediately became extremely enthusiastic. He wanted the military reputation of Marshal too much, because this was the most perfect footnote to his military career!
However, Takaichi Tetsuchi also knew that he couldn't be in a hurry yet.
Because there are two areas within the jurisdiction of the Southern Army that have not been taken down.
The first area is the Australian continent. The British and Australian troops are still fighting stubbornly, trying to prevent the 15th Army from landing. The other area is Myanmar. The Chinese Expeditionary Force led by Zhong Yi is fighting against the 25th Army of Ishihara Kanr on the banks of the Sidang River.
To be honest, Soichi Teraunuchi was not worried about the British and Australian troops in Australia. In his opinion, the British and Australian troops were just a group of sheep.
The only thing that Soichi Tetsuchi of Desunouchi was that the Chinese Expeditionary Force in Myanmar was an elite force.
Especially Zhong Yi, the commander of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, is an old rival to the Imperial Army. I don’t know how many famous imperial generals have fallen into his hands, so this person must not be taken lightly.
Just as I was thinking, a sudden sound of rapid footsteps sounded behind me.
Looking back, it was Kuroda, who had just replaced Tsukada Otsuki as Chief of Staff of the Southern Army.
