Chapter 1785 Disintegration
Half an hour later.
Division headquarters of the 18th Division in Yangmiting.
Chief of staff, Kenji Otsuki hurried into the shelter and said to Mudaguchi Ryokan with a panic expression: "Chief of the Division, please evacuate Aomitting immediately and go to Dagon to join the 1st Guard Division."
"Bagayaru, I will never go to Dagon." Mudaguchi Ryo was like a furious bear, waving his stubborn arms and roaring in anger and despair.
"Teacher Commander." Otsuki Kenji tried to convince Mudaguchi Ryoya, "The situation is not good now. The 55th Infantry Regiment has never been tied. The 114th Infantry Regiment and the 124th Infantry Regiment on both wings are also on the verge of collapse. The Chinese army's offensive is too fierce and our division can no longer stop it!"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!" Mutaguchi Ryokan said angrily, "The reason why the 55th Infantry Regiment lost contact was just because the telephone line was broken. You should send the telephone soldiers to repair it quickly! As for the 114th Infantry Regiment and the 124th Infantry Regiment, they were just stunned by the offensive of the Chinese Army. As long as they calmed down again, they could quickly stabilize it and even organize a counterattack. No problem, we have no problem!"
"Second Commander..." Kenji Otsuki's face collapsed.
"Mr. Otsuki, don't say anything more." Mudaguchi Ryokun also interrupted roughly, "I will not leave no matter what. There is only one way for me to leave Yomidin, that is, as the troops advance towards Mandalay, and I will never evacuate Yomidin to the south because of failure. We will not fail, we will never."
But Otsuki Kenji knew what kind of guy Mudaguchi was.
Although this old man is usually high-sounding and looks like a famous general, he seems to be ready to sacrifice his life for the Empire and His Majesty the Emperor at any time, but it is actually not the case at all. This old man is afraid of death.
When he was roaring, his eyes were always clear?
At that moment, Otsuki Kenichi waved his hand and signaled the guard to come forward to build Mudaguchi Renya.
"Let me go, stop, let me go, don't do this..." Mudaguchi Ryokawa only struggled symbolically, and then let the two guards mount him out of the division headquarters, then put him on the train, and retreated to Dagon.
Almost at the same time as Ryoya Mutaguchi and Kenji Otsuki took the division headquarters of the 18th Division, the 55th Infantry Regiment, which was heading in the front, finally collapsed.
But the Japanese are indeed tenacious.
Before the final collapse, the 55th Infantry Regiment, led by the regiment captain Nasu Yoshio, launched a long live charge, which was the long live charge that Zhang Fan saw in the air.
Nasu Yoshio organized staff members such as staff, communications soldiers, guards and medical soldiers from the wing headquarters. There were about 100 people in total, and launched a long live charge to the National Army.
As a result, I happened to meet Zhang Fan's 1101.
After a few rockets came down, the storm-former formation of the 55th Infantry Regiment was blown to pieces.
During the first wave of bombing, the wing captain Nasu Yoshio was completely torn apart by rockets.
The last long live charge was shattered, and the commander of the regiment Nasu Yoshio was also "shattered" on the spot. The remaining hundreds of remaining soldiers of the 55th Infantry Regiment finally collapsed and turned around and ran backwards.
The 122nd Division, which was responsible for the frontal attack, took advantage of the victory and pursued for more than 20 miles.
He chased him until noon and finally stopped after encountering the vanguard of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army.
The 8th Japanese Division was originally resting in Mura, because in the previous Xidanghe Battle, the 8th Division encountered an unprecedentedly tragic battle and its morale was greatly weakened.
Because of this, the 8th Division did not fight back.
Of course, it is also an important reason that there are Chinese Air Force fighter jets eyeing each other in the sky.
The 18th Division has suffered enough of the Chinese Air Force, and the 8th Division definitely does not want to repeat the same mistakes.
Therefore, after a brief fire with the National Army, the vanguard of the 8th Division broke off contact in a tacit understanding and retreated ten miles before camping.
...
In Mandela, the chief of the Myanmar War Zone.
Zhong Yi and Wang Geng have been guarding the war room.
Stilwell has also flew back from India and returned to the Burmese War Zone Chief Office.
The three giants in the Myanmar War Zone are anxiously waiting for news ahead.
Although I have sufficient confidence in this battle, no one dares to say that I will win before the result comes out, because this is how the war is, and it is always full of uncertainty.
In history, I don’t know how many times I have won a battle with my hands, but I ended up losing inexplicably.
Time passed quietly in an anxious waiting period, nine o'clock in the morning, ten o'clock...it was soon noon.
Just when Stilwell was a little impatient, the phone ringing on the table suddenly rang: Ding Lingling, Ding Lingling...
Wang Geng grabbed the phone and said in a deep voice: "This is the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar War Zone. I am the Chief of Staff Wang Geng. Where are you?"
"I am Li Yueshen," said Mr.
The voice of Li Yueshen, the commander of the 122nd Division, came from the other end of the phone.
"Teacher Li?" Wang Geng suddenly felt refreshed, because from Li Yueshen's hoarse but excited voice, he had already had some premonitions of something, and said now, "What's the situation?"
"We won!" Li Yueshen said vigorously, "The 18th Division of Little Japan has collapsed!"
"Beautiful job! Commander Li, please serve as the acting chief, General Stilwell and me personally, congratulate all your brothers and every soldier who participated in the war!" Wang Geng hung up the phone after saying that.
When he looked back, Wang Geng saw Zhong Yi, and Stilwell was looking at him with a bright look.
Wang Geng took a breath, tried his best to calm his tone, and said, "General Stilwell, we won, the 18th Japanese Division has been defeated by me!"
"Yes!" Stilwell waved his fist vigorously.
Because this battle is of great significance, it can be said to determine the situation in the entire Myanmar.
Ishihara Kanr's 25th Army had four divisions under its jurisdiction, including the 8th Division, the 1st Guard Division and the 2nd Guard Division suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Shiodanghe. Although it has been replenished, it will take quite some time to completely restore the combat power. Therefore, at this time, the 18th Division was actually the only one with combat power.
Now that the 18th Division has been defeated, it actually means that the offensive of the 25th Army of the Japanese army has collapsed.
In a sense, with the collapse of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, the Battle of Mandalay was actually over, because with the dissolution of the 25th Army of Ishihara Kanr, even if the 23rd Anda 27th Army made a breakthrough in the Irrawaddy River, it would be useless, which was a secondary direction.
