Chapter 1133 To recognize the reality
Thailand's Tak Province, Myanmar Expeditionary Army General Headquarters.
Senior Japanese generals such as Okamura Yasuji, Kimura Hitaro, Anda No. 23, Iida Shojiro, Kan Katsuji, Yoshihara Ju and other Japanese gathered together and were holding a high-level military meeting.
Although Anda 23, Iida Sojiro, and Guan Guiji have basically become commanders with bare hands, the removal order from the Japanese base camp has not been issued yet, and the three of them still have the title of commander of the army on their heads.
Okamura Yasuji has been in office for half a month as commander-in-chief of the Myanmar condemnation army, and has a very comprehensive understanding of what the Myanmar contingent army has experienced and the current situation.
But the more he understood, the more frightened Okamura Yanji became, the more worried he was. For the past half month, he had insomnia almost every night, and often could not sleep barely in the second half of the night.
The long-term anxiety and irritability made the 57-year-old Okamura Yanji's mental state worse and worse, and even his hair turned a lot whiter. In just half a month, he seemed to have grown older by about ten years.
Okamura Yanji took off his thick myopic glasses and gently wiped them with a mirror cloth while mocking himself at the senior Japanese officials: "I've been overwhelmed recently, my mental state is not very good, and my hair has even turned a lot whiter. Do I look very old now? Haha!"
"Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, please don't worry too much, you must pay attention to your health! The Imperial Army needs a patron saint like you, and the Myanmar Expeditionary Army is indispensable to your wise leader."
Kimura Hitotaro's face looked ugly, and he felt a little sad and ashamed. Such a mess would be really aggrieved to make such an empire's future cleanup.
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, you must take care of yourself!"
"His Excellency Commander-in-Chief,..."
Anda No. 23, Iida Yoshiro and others were in the same mood. They were full of shame and heartbroken by Okamura, but they could not help but relieve their worries and could only say some unnutritious comfort words.
"You guys, there is no need to do this. I just turned white, it's not a big deal!"
Okamura Yasuji shook his head gently, then said with a desolate expression: "It's a pity that even if I worry and work hard, I can't think of how to break the deadlock. I really can't find any way to rescue the 19th Army. I'm really ashamed!"
"Hissergeant Commander-in-Chief, please don't say that. We should be ashamed of it!"
Kimura Hitaro's face turned red and he comforted bitterly: "Maybe things are not that bad, maybe there will be a turnaround. The 19th Army is a battle-produced imperial army, and they will not be easily beaten.
In the past half month, the 19th Army has not only established a solid defense line, but has also taken the initiative to attack many times and has made great achievements. Perhaps it can really gain a foothold in the Bennong Mountains like the Eighth Route Army guerrillas!"
"Kimura, will it really be like that? You and I are very clear about the current situation. Although the 19th Army still has a certain amount of room for activity, if we do not break through as soon as possible, weapons and ammunition alone will not be able to support it."
Okamura Yasuji smiled miserably and shook his head and said, "The Imperial Air Force will not be able to replenish it in a short period of time, which means that the 19th Army will not be able to receive effective supplies in the short term.
We don’t need to have any fantasies, and don’t expect the 19th Army to really create miracles. We should now recognize the reality and immediately start to deploy and build a defense system to prevent the complete collapse of the war situation in Southeast Asia.”
"Nani?"
"Build a defense system?"
"Is this giving up the attack?"
"Didn't it mean that a larger combat group will soon arrive in Myanmar?"
Kimura Hitaro, Iida Shojiro and other old devils were stunned and stared at Okamura Nishiji with wide eyes, looking at Okamura Nishiji with confusion and astonishment. They really couldn't understand why Okamura Nishi was so pessimistic.
After being stunned, Kimura Hitaro asked in confusion: "Hiss Commander-in-Chief, I remember that the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor meant not to build a passive defense system, but to continue to take the initiative to attack until they conquer Myanmar and destroy the industrial base in northern Myanmar?"
"Yes, Commander-in-Chief, we can't just give up!"
"In that case, wouldn't the more than 300,000 imperial imperial army be broken?"
"That's right, the Chinese Expeditionary Force is currently in its weakest state. As long as we continue to work hard, we can definitely turn the world around and make a battle!"
After such an unprecedented epic defeat, which Japanese generals such as Kimura Hitotaro, Iida Shojiro and other Japanese generals were full of anger and humiliation, and who didn't want to get back as soon as possible?
They could not accept it anyway and admitted defeat, and directly gave up their offensive plan, leaving hundreds of thousands of collectively broken imperial warriors in the last battle worthless.
Thinking of this, all the old Japanese suddenly turned pale and their hearts continued to sink.
"Continue to attack? Conquer Myanmar? Destroy the industrial base in northern Myanmar?"
Okamura Niji grinned helplessly, squeezed out an ugly smile and said, "The decision of the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor is understandable, and the mood of you is also understandable.
But what I want to ask you is, are you really confident that you can conquer Myanmar and destroy the industrial base in northern Myanmar?"
"this……"
Kimura Hitotaro was speechless. He had no confidence and confidence, but he was just holding a sense of resentment in his heart and was unwilling to make such a shameful mark on his life resume like this.
Iida Xiangjiro and Anda's 23rd-grade old Japanese were also silent. How could they not know what kind of bad situation they were like now?
That's right, in the last battle, the Myanmar Expeditionary Force caused major casualties to the Chinese Expeditionary Force through collective charges. The entire Myanmar battle greatly consumed various technical equipment of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
However, the Chinese Expeditionary Force can replenish weapons and equipment and soldiers nearby with increasingly large industrial bases and a huge population base, unlike them who need to temporarily recruit troops and weapons and equipment from thousands of miles away.
Especially the strong foundation and strength of Dongxing Trading Group Company can raise enough military supplies in a short period of time to meet the food, drinking, defecation, and sleeping of hundreds of thousands of Chinese Expeditionary Forces.
On the other hand, the 17 veteran divisions of the four armies of the Myanmar sent to the condemnation army to be the most elite heavy army group that the Great Japanese Empire can currently mobilize, and no one is it.
However, such an elite heavy army group suffered a devastating blow on the battlefield in Myanmar. So far, except for the more than 50,000 imperial troops that were difficult to escape from heaven, only more than 40,000 troops were left in the entire Myanmar dispatched army.
