Yangon, Myanmar condemnation headquarters.

Kimura Hitaro walked into the war room and reported to Mejiro Umezu: "The Commander-in-Chief, you have just received a telegram from the 28th Army from the front line. During the morning battle, they lost two more artillery brigades."

"Hagayaru." Umezu Mijiro's brows frowned suddenly, and the loss was too great.

Kimura Hitaro waved his hand casually to the two combat staff next to him, and the two combat staff paused, then removed two artillery models from the positions of the 28th Army.

A cannon model represents an artillery brigade.

Remove the two artillery horizontal shapes, which means that the two artillery brigades are gone.

Kimura Hitaro said again: "Mr. Commander-in-Chief, as of today, the technical equipment of the 28th Army has been almost completely lost, and more than half of its troops have been injured or killed. Should they let them retreat first and rest?"

"Well, let the 28th Army retreat first." Umezu Mijiro said, "change the 29th Army!"

As soon as Kimura Hitaro waved his hand, a communications officer went to call the headquarters of the 29th Army.

Meijiro Umezu asked again: "Kimura, what day has it been today for the Second Mandalay Battle?"

Kimura Hitaro said respectfully: "Master-in-Chief, it's the twelfth day that the battle has begun!"

"It's already the twelfth day?" Meijiro Umezu's brows became more and more tight, and his eyes swept across the sand table. He saw that the middle battlefield was difficult, not to mention opening up the situation, even moving forward ten kilometers was extremely difficult.

Before the war began, Mijiro Umezu did not expect that this would be the situation.

I originally thought that the Chinese army was just a mob and was vulnerable at all.

As a result, after fighting, I found that after obtaining technical equipment, the Chinese army's combat effectiveness had been completely improved. This was completely different from any Chinese army he had encountered before.

What upset Umezu Mijiro the most was that his wings were not going well.

As time goes by, the Ren'anqiang battlefield on the left wing, the Chinese army has built more and more fortifications and become stronger. The 27th Army of Anda's 23rd has once again fallen into a tough battle.

In fact, although only half a month has passed, Mejiro Umezu had already lost confidence in the 27th Army.

Now Mijiro Umezu's only hope is the right wing, and the performance of the right wing Sasaki to the 1st 30th Army did not disappoint Mijiro Umezu. The speed of advancement can be said to be extremely fast. In less than half a month, it occupied most of the Shan Gang Plateau and compressed the Chinese army into a northwest corner of the Shan State Plateau.

However, there is an old saying in China that is that good and bad luck depend on each other.

The rapid advancement of the 30th Army from Sasaki to Ichi certainly made the right wing quickly open up the situation, but it was precisely because the 30th Army's advancement was too fast that the two heavy artillery regiments assigned to the 30th Army could not keep up.

In the early days of the war, when the Chinese army was dispersed, there was no problem with the lack of heavy artillery firepower.

But now, when the Chinese army was hiding in a corner of the northwest of the Shan Gang Plateau, the disadvantages of the 30th Army's lack of heavy artillery firepower were exposed.

If there is no firepower after heavy artillery, there is a lack of means of attacking the tough situation.

Without the means of attacking, the defenses built by the Chinese army with reinforced concrete cannot be broken through, so the entire offensive has also stagnated and cannot be promoted any more.

As his eyes swept over the sand table, Mejiro Umezu felt even more irritable.

How could this happen? How could this be? It shouldn't be like this at all!

At this time, the difference between being capable and being incapable is reflected.

At this time, those who are capable will generally look for the reasons from themselves, while those who are incapable will put the blame on others without reflecting on themselves.

Umezu Mijiro obviously belongs to the latter.

"Baga!" Umezu Mijiro said angrily, "This is all caused by the poor air force support! If it weren't for their poor air force support and their loss of air superiority in the northern Myanmar battlefield, how could the 28th Army's technical equipment be lost so much? I'm telling me that the 7th and 8th Divisions of the Aviation will dispatch more aircraft to strengthen support for the central battlefield!"

"Hissergeant Commander-in-Chief, the Air Force has actually tried its best." Kimura Hitotaro whispered, "In the twelve days of combat, they lost half of the fighter jets and one-third of the bombers! In the current situation, it is already the limit to maintaining the current combat ranks of the 7th and 8th Divisions of the Aviation. It is impossible to strengthen any further."

"Baga!" Umezu Mijiro said furiously, "Kun Kimura, please remember that you are the chief of staff of the Myanmar condemnation army, not the chief of staff of the Air Force, so please do not consider issues from the standpoint of the Air Force. You should consider issues from the standpoint of the Myanmar condemnation army, and from our standpoint, because the Air Force is not supporting the current situation!"

"Hai!" Kimura Hitaro didn't dare to say anything more, turned around and went to send a telegram to the Air Force.

...

Mandalay, the head of the Myanmar War Zone.

Seeing the combat staff of the chief department take away the models one by one from the sand table, Stilwell was fine, but the muscles on Wang Geng's face began to twitch unconsciously, he felt distressed!

These models are not real models, they represent combat troops!

A tank model represents a tank battalion with more than 40 tanks!

A cannon model represents an artillery battalion and 12 cannons!

An aircraft model represents an aviation squadron and 36 fighter jets!

Until now, the Myanmar War Zone has lost half of its technical equipment!

These include more than 600 artillery pieces of artillery, including 200 tanks of various types, and more than 500 combat aircraft of various types.

The only thing that comforted Wang Geng was that because the Expeditionary Force was a defensive battle and had solid fortifications built in advance to support it, the personnel losses were not large.

But Wang Geng still felt extremely distressed by the huge losses in technical equipment.

When did the Chinese army have such a luxurious life? As a result, after two days of such a luxurious life, they were immediately beaten back to their original form. How could Wang Gengqing bear this?

"Master, the intensity of this battle is too high and the intensity is too high!" Wang Geng couldn't help but say, "In less than half a month, we have lost half of our technical equipment and half of our technical equipment!"

Zhong Yi said: "Brother Shouqing, I think you have some of your ideas changed."
