Japanese troop carriers and light destroyers had already sailed to Mawlamyine.

Okamura Ninji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyway, with these ships, the other two divisions he left were saved.

The 15th and 49th Divisions were completely finished.

Okamura knows this.

Originally, the 15th Division still had a wing of strength left, leaving him with some hope.

But five days have passed, and there is no news at all.

Okamura Ninji knew that there must be no play.

In that case, let's keep the same ancient times.

If he can hold Tonggu, it would be good, at least his fifteenth army has not been defeated.

In order to guard Tonggu, his orders have not been interrupted in the past few days.

In order to prevent a sudden attack by the armored forces of the mysterious force, Okamura ordered the 18th Division to build a large number of anti-tank fortifications on the periphery of Tongko.

A lot of dark bunkers were also built.

In the past few days, he has been applying for weapons and equipment from the base camp, but has not received any response.

This annoyed Okamura Ninji very much.

He now has only two divisions and average firepower.

The equipment of the mysterious army on the other side is very terrifying.

If his troops are not well equipped, it will be difficult to win.

His 15th Army needed tanks, planes, and large-caliber artillery.

But none of them.

Now the entire island nation is focused on the ocean.

Almost all the resources, went to their navy.

The island nation's arsenal has almost no longer produced tanks and artillery.

All the steel was used to build large warships

It's just insane.

Are they planning to dominate the seas?

Okamura was very annoyed by the decision of the base camp.

Land!

Land is the foundation!!

A bunch of fools!

Especially Tojo Old Pifu, I see you don't know who you are anymore!

Don't forget, you're out of the Army.

Fortunately, Yamamoto 56 lent him three light destroyers, at least the cannons on the battleships could provide him with a little support for his 15th Army.

The 18th Division of the Japanese Army was in Tonggu, and the 55th Division was in Moltke.

These two places are each other's horns, and it is not easy to attack them.

The generals of the command and Li Lei looked at these two places, thinking about how to fight this tough battle.

The Japanese army still has 70 planes, although it is not as many as the temporary regiment, but it cannot be underestimated.

If you want to attack, the first step is to take out the Japanese planes.

Otherwise, this battle would be too awkward.

Now Okamura only has two divisions left, but he did not retreat, but put the two divisions in Tonggu and Moltke, which shows that Okamura, the bastard, is ready to fight them here.

It's just a way to get out of the way.

It seems that Okamura Ninji was really beaten up.

Li Lei estimated that this time the Japanese planes would definitely pour out.

Li Lei did not intend to let Wang Han and his plane fight hard with the Japanese plane.

Then the losses of their own troops would be too great.

Gotta think of a foolproof solution!

Li Lei scratched his head, thinking about how to kill the Japanese plane.

In this way, the attack on Tonggu will be much smoother.

"Where are the current supply locations for the Japanese army?" Li Lei asked Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong said: "The most important supply point for the Japanese army at present is Mawlamyine. There was a port, and the supplies of the Japanese army were transported directly to Mawlamyine by ship. ”

Boat?

Li Lei tilted his head and thought about it.

Do you want to find a way to take out their supply ships?

But it was too difficult to take out the Japanese supply ships.

They don't have sea power at all, let alone killed, they can't even touch it.

Mawlamyine ......

If the supply depots of the Japanese army can be eliminated, then the entire combat effectiveness of the Japanese army will be severely damaged.

If you want to keep the same ancient times, it is simply impossible.

However, Mawlamyine was a port, and the Japanese army could constantly supply them by sea.

Even if the supply site of the Japanese army Mawlamyine is bombed, through the sea, the supply of the Japanese army will soon be in place.

Is there any good way to take out the Japanese supply ships?

Or, directly occupy Mawlamyine, which would cut off the supply of the Japanese army on the one hand, and encircle the two divisions of the Japanese army from behind.

But the problem is that it is not easy, if not impossible, to get around behind the Japanese army.

Li Lei stared at the map for a long time, and he didn't have a good plan in his heart.

"If we kill the Japanese army's supply point in Mawlamyine, how long will it take for the Japanese supply ships to reach Mawlamyine?" Li Lei asked Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang shook his head.

This is a question that they have not yet mastered.

Li Lei said: "Order Xu Hu's special operations battalion to infiltrate Mawlamyin as fast as possible. Spy on the Japanese supply situation and, if possible, blow up the Japanese supply depots. Especially the oil depots of the Japanese army. As long as the oil depot of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army was blown up, the Japanese planes would not be able to fly for at least two days. ”

Xu Hu, who received the order, immediately set off with the special operations battalion.

In order not to be discovered by the Japanese army as much as possible, Xu Hu's special operations battalion made a detour.

It went around to Aranman, and then from Aranman it went south into the Dawei, and from the Dawei it slowly penetrated eastward towards Mawlamyine.

The large forces of the expeditionary force have already begun to advance south.

The meaning of the command was to take advantage of the fact that the Japanese army's fortifications in Tonggu had not yet been fully completed, immediately march to Tonggu, and after reaching the periphery of Tonggu, immediately launch an attack on the Japanese army.

But Li Lei did not agree with such a plan.

The air power of the Japanese army is not weak, and in the event of such a direct attack, the losses of the entire force will be very large.

In the end, although these two divisions of the Japanese army can be eliminated, their own troops will also be disabled.

Such a victory is not what Li Lei wants.

Li Lei suggested that the troops advance south to the areas of Alamman, Pingmanna, and Laoyikao, and form an encirclement of the Japanese army first.

Then, after fully grasping the dynamics of the Japanese army, they will launch an attack.

This can effectively reduce its own casualties.

Li Lei told the command that his special operations battalion had begun to infiltrate Mawlamyine, and it would not be long before news came.

Xu Hu's special operations battalion marched very fast, and it only took about a day and a half for his special operations battalion to pass through the earth tiles and enter the periphery of Mawlamyine.

After reaching the outskirts of Mawlamyine, for safety reasons, Xu Hu ordered the troops to temporarily stop their operations and wait until it was dark before moving towards Mawlamyine.

Most of the strength of the Japanese army was in Tonggu and Moltke, and the Japanese army in Mawlamyine was probably only two brigades.

It was the baggage unit of the 15th Army.

The main task was to guard the supplies of Mawlamyine.

When the supply ship arrives, the supplies are transported.

The airfield of the Japanese army was also here.

It turned out that the airfield of the 15th Army of the Japanese Army was in the Manshui River.

After the last time Manshui River was attacked by Xu Hu, Okamura Ningji felt that Manshui River was not safe, and the airport was a little far away from the battlefield.

So he ordered the planes of the 15th Army to all go to Mawlamyine.

In this way, if there is a war, their planes can take off quickly.

Xu Hu did not attack immediately, taking advantage of the night, he asked a few soldiers to go over to reconnoiter first.

See what's going on.

Xu Hu and the other warriors took refuge on a high ground.

This high ground is right next to the harbor, and you can clearly see the lights of the harbor.

Shun Yu'er's eyes were very good: "Battalion commander, there are several big boats there!" ”

Ship?

Xu Hu followed the direction of Shun You'er's finger and looked over with a telescope.

What he saw startled Xu Hu.

Battleship!?

Xu Hu was taken aback, when did the Japanese army drive their battleship over?

Xu Hu observed, there were five of them.

There were two battleships that were very large, and judging by their appearance, they were supposed to be troop carriers.

The other three are easy to judge, and at first glance they are standard battleships.

There are quite a few guns on it.

This unexpected discovery shocked Xu Hu very much, he didn't dare to be careless, and immediately sent a report to Li Lei to explain the situation here.

Li Lei, who received Xu Hu's telegram, was also very surprised.

He has been thinking about the battleship for the past two days, how can the fifteenth army of the Japanese army have it?

Listening to Xu Hu's meaning, it seems to be a serious battleship.

There are a lot of artillery on it.

That's at least a destroyer, and possibly even a battleship.

However, the battleship was unlikely.

Japanese battleships, not very many.

Now that the Japanese navy is fighting at sea, it is unlikely that the battleships will be sent here.

Most likely, there will be destroyers, or small frigates in general.

There was no large fleet here, and there was no need for the Japanese to send large warships here.

But...... That's not bad either.

Since I found out, it's mine.

Li Lei told Xu Hu to keep his troops hidden, not to act rashly, and wait for his order before acting.

If Xu Hu wants to get the battleship there, it is necessary to make it impossible for the Japanese army to increase the number of troops to Mawlamyine.

In this case, they can only attack Tonggu and attract the Japanese troops there, so that they have no time to separate.

Li Lei ordered Xu Hu that when the large army launched an attack on Tonggu, his special operations battalion must blow up the Japanese army's oil depot.

You can leave nothing else alone, but the oil depot must be blown up.

As long as the oil depot is blown up, the Japanese planes will not be able to fly.

Without the cover of the Japanese army, it would be easier to fight the Japanese army in the same country.

Besides, in this case, Mawlamyine's plane may also fall into his own hands.

While blowing up the oil depot, find a way to occupy several Japanese warships and wait for the arrival of follow-up troops.

Li Lei ordered Yang Liqing's 6th Battalion, together with Chen Anping's 7th Battalion, to quickly advance towards Mawlamyine along the route of Xu Hu's infiltration.

The sixth battalion must protect the seventh battalion.

The task of the 7th Battalion was to take over the battleship from Xu Hu after arriving at Mawlamyine.

As long as you get these few battleships, it will be a big victory.

After Chen Anping heard Li Lei's order, he was excited.

Is there really a battleship that can let them drive!?
