Chapter 374: The Japanese Army Attacked
David was annoyed by the cold reaction of his allies.
Arrogant guys!
Who did he think he was!
Just a commander, what a god!
Now that the Japanese army is about to attack, he is still here to look at people with his nose!
Do you really think that their empire is still the same as it was a hundred years ago?
David said to Li Lei: "Commander Li Lei, do you want me to report the situation here to China?" Let domestic pressure be put on them? ”
Li Lei smiled and shook his head: "David, you are in too much of a hurry.
Our troops will be able to move forward soon, you can rest assured.
This idiot will come to me for help in less than three days. ”
Li Lei suddenly burst into a foul language, which made David stunned.
"Oh, Commander Li Lei, you actually cursed, it really surprised me." It was the first time David saw Li Lei burst into foul language, and he felt very novel.
As a China expert, he certainly understands what it means to be a fool.
Li Lei smiled: "No way, Alexander's kind of guy, his brain is really in water." Did he really think that his troops would be able to stop the Japanese attack? Joke! As far as his troops, let alone guards, it is difficult to even protect themselves. David, you see, within three days, his troops will definitely be defeated by the Japanese army.
The pressure mountain has no idea what war is. The offensive capabilities of the Japanese army, he did not know at all. ”
David said solemnly: "Commander Li, is the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army really as strong as you said?" ”
David had never fought against the Japanese army, and all the information he got about the Japanese army was known through Li Lei.
In his impression, the Japanese soldiers were all that kind of small people, a rifle taller than theirs, with lap legs, and ugly appearance.
Is that kind of army really combative?
Li Lei said to David: "David, the Japanese army can successfully attack your fleet and launch an attack on a large area of Southeast Asia in a short period of time. That's pretty telling, isn't it?
Your troops have been forced to retreat from many places, which is enough to show that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is very strong.
Don't underestimate them.
Otherwise we can easily lose. ”
According to the intelligence reality transmitted by the Ming Tower in Shanghai, the Japanese army preparing to attack this time had a total of four divisions and regiments, and the troops formed became the 15th Army.
The commander was Shojiro Iida.
Li Lei has studied this person, and this person, like Okamura Ninji, is relatively rigid in combat.
It received the most traditional military education of the army of the island nation.
The battle is decent, and the offensive method used is exactly the same as Okamura Ninji, a classic three-way offensive mode.
It's old-fashioned, but it's also effective.
Shojiro Iida fought so many battles and almost never lost a single one.
If there is a famous army general of the island country, this bastard can definitely be among them.
This is a Japanese general at the same level as Okamura Ninji, and he is very experienced in fighting.
The last time he fought with the Japanese army, Li Lei had learned Okamura Ningji's methods.
This time, although Li Lei's identity is still the regiment commander, his strength has increased a lot, so when considering the problem, he needs to be more comprehensive and thorough.
The Fifteenth Army of the Japanese Army, with four divisions, had almost as many troops as theirs.
This battle will be very tragic.
Although the weapons and equipment of the current expeditionary force have been greatly improved, it is really difficult to say whether they can get cheap when the war starts.
After all, the quality of their soldiers is indeed a little worse than that of the Japanese army.
Moreover, this time in the contest with the Japanese army, there are friendly forces mixed in.
From Li Lei's heart, it is better to have allies than not.
Alexander's troops, the combat effectiveness is simply scum, and they have no other ability than to make trouble.
It's a complete burden.
It is unrealistic to expect their troops to fight the Japanese army.
This made Li Lei very depressed.
At this time, the 15th Army of the Japanese Army was preparing to attack.
The headquarters of the 15th Army was located in a small place in the neighboring country, the Manshui River.
Shojiro Iida is looking at a huge map.
The map hung in his war room, and it was huge.
In the entire war room of the 15th Army Headquarters of the Japanese Army, there were almost a dozen Japanese generals, all of whom were at the rank of major general or above.
Shojiro Iida's gaze stayed on a few major places.
Ringanqiang, Mandalay, Lashio.
The chief of staff of the 15th Army, as well as the commanders of the four divisions, as well as other generals, all waited for Shojiro Iida's plan.
At this time, Iida Shojiro was very angry.
The base camp sent him, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
Originally, he was appointed commander of the 25th Army to attack Southeast Asia.
But unexpectedly, in the end, he was replaced by Yamashita Fengwen's fuck-out.
He could only be appointed commander of the 15th Army and attack here.
For him, it was a shame.
Attacking the whole of Southeast Asia is the focus of their island country, and attacking here is ranked second.
But the fact has become a foregone conclusion, and Iida Shojiro can only come here to lead the troops.
Now his troops have been assembled.
Four divisions were waiting for his offensive plan.
Although it was said that attacking here made him very unhappy, but the big war was imminent, and Iida Shojiro did not underestimate the enemy, but conducted a lot of investigation and research as before.
In a month's time, a battle plan was specified.
Now his battle plan has been approved by the base camp and can be implemented immediately.
Iida Shojiro looked at the people in the war room with a gloomy face, pointed to the huge map and said, "Order, the 11th Division and the 56th Division to attack Mawlamyine."
Ordered, the 18th Division and the 55th Division, to attack Dawei.
The 11th and 56th Divisions occupied Mawlamyine and immediately advanced towards Tonggu. The 55th and 18th Divisions, having occupied the territory, continued to advance and occupied Alanna. Then quickly advance to Ringanqiang, and together with the 11th Division and the 56th Division, encircle and destroy the main force of the army of Country Y. ”
Shojiro Iida's plan was very simple, the troops were divided into two routes, to surround and destroy the main force of country Y.
His intelligence agency has already sent back information, and in the entire combat area, the troops of country Y are about two armies, about 40,000 people.
They are the 1st, 17th, 36th, 63rd Brigade, and 7th Armored Brigade.
It seems that there are a lot of people, but their combat effectiveness does not seem to be very strong.
The troops of country Y seem to have little confidence in holding their positions.
This is very good news for him Iida Shojiro.
As long as the main force of the troops of country Y is encircled and destroyed, then his troops can quickly occupy this place.
He wants to show the base camp that my command ability of Shojiro Iida is unique.
Okamura Ninji was defeated in the last battle, and Anami's fool almost buried the entire Eleventh Army.
This is a disgrace to the entire island nation.
I, Iida Shojiro, must want to prove to the world that there is no shortage of famous generals in our island country.
I will lead the troops to occupy this place quickly.
Shojiro Iida is very arrogant, and his goal is to completely occupy this place within ten days.
As soon as the plan was issued, the four divisions of the Japanese army set out and began the attack.
The Japanese attack was very fast and very sudden, and the troops of Mawlamyine and Dawei did not react at all.
By the time they saw clearly that it was the Japanese attack, the Japanese troops had already advanced in front of their eyes.
The troops of Country Y, which were in a hurry to meet the battle, had no intention of resisting at all, and began to retreat without firing a few shots.
It was very strange to the Japanese army.
Their official offensive has just begun, and they haven't used all their strength yet, so why did the opposing troops start to run?
Alexander, who was asleep, was woken up by an urgent phone ringing, and he was shocked when he received the call.
The Japanese were thinking of Mawlamyine and Dawei to launch a fierce attack.
His troops are not opponents at all.
Because it was night, it was impossible to reconnoiter the strength of the Japanese army at all, but judging by the firepower of the Japanese army, it must be the main force of the Japanese army.
Garrisoned in Mawlamyine were the 1st Division of Country Y and their 7th Armored Brigade; Garrisoned in Dawei were the 17th and 36th Divisions of Country Y.
At this time, the troops of country Y in these two places were losing ground one after another.
The troops of country Y were surprised to find that the Japanese attack was very fierce, and it was completely a deadly fight.
I don't dodge at all, I just rush forward with my head stunned.
Crowds of people rushed towards their positions like locusts.
That kind of momentum directly made the troops of country Y dumbfounded.
They had never fought like this.
Their defense line was broken through very quickly, and many soldiers of country Y surrendered directly without firing their guns when they saw the Japanese army rushing up.
And he also said skillfully: "According to the international convention......" Before he finished speaking, the Japanese army who rushed up directly picked it with a knife.
The soldiers of country Y who died on the battlefield did not understand why the Japanese army still killed them when they had surrendered.
By the time dawn approached, Mawlamyine had basically lost its position, and only a small force of soldiers from Country Y had not withdrawn and were holding a defensive line to resist.
They were going to retreat, but they were surrounded by Japanese troops because they ran too slowly.
There were about a hundred men in this force, and the commander was a major from country Y.
His intention was to surrender, but he was reminded by several Y soldiers.
They saw with their own eyes that the soldiers who surrendered were all killed by the Japanese army.
If they surrender, then they will surely face the same fate.
But if you don't surrender, you're dead.
With just a few people like them, they can't stop the Japanese army at all, and they can only become cannon fodder.
