Chapter 389 The Special Warfare Battalion appeared
The commander looked at the map and made a mental deduction.
In the war room, everyone did not speak, they were all watching him quietly.
Commanders of all stripes know that the decision at this time is very important.
They had just wiped out the 11th Division of the Japanese Army, and now an Eighteenth Division had suddenly appeared, which really surprised them.
If there is no such accident, then they will have a great chance of destroying the 55th and 56th divisions of the Japanese army.
An hour passed, and the commander stood still in front of the map.
After another hour, he slowly turned around: "Order." ”
His voice was not loud, but in the war room, everyone stood up straight, waiting for his order.
"The order is to temporarily destroy the 56th Division in the vicinity of Tangji within two days, and if it is not completely eliminated after two days, it will immediately withdraw and move to Mandalay.
The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army were ordered to immediately intercept the 55th Division of the Japanese Army and block it in the area east of Ringanqiang and south of Pingmanna.
The 66th Army was ordered to immediately send troops from Ringanqiang to attack to the east and attack the 55th Division from behind.
Within three days, the 55th Division of the Japanese Army was eliminated. If not, the troops immediately retreated, along the Irrawaddy River, to the west of Mandalay. ”
"Yes!"
Everyone was in awe.
This plan has basically not changed, but in terms of time, some adjustments have been made.
The 18th Division of the Japanese Army, at the fastest marching speed, also took four days to reach Pingmanna.
Prior to this, the 55th and 56th Divisions of the Japanese army had no reinforcements.
Destroying these two divisions within this time period can set the whole battle in one fell swoop.
At that time, the entire Fifteenth Army will be finished.
If there was only one 18th Division left, Iida Shojiro would definitely retreat in full.
I don't dare to attack here again in a short time.
Whether it can be done or not depends on three days.
Just in case, when the commander issued the order, he even gave the order to retreat.
If the 55th and 56th divisions of the Japanese army were not killed in three days, their troops had to be withdrawn to Mandalay.
If that were the case, the 55th and 56th divisions of the Japanese army would have already suffered heavy losses.
The combat effectiveness should be reduced by more than 70 percent.
Even if the 18th Division arrives at Tangji, it is estimated that it will not immediately launch an attack on Mandalay.
For the time being, a regiment of troops can take a short break in Mandalay.
However, Li Lei estimates that this rest time will not be too long.
Up to a week.
But this way, it is also enough.
The people in the war room looked at each other, and they all saw the determination in each other's eyes.
No matter what happens this time, these two divisions of the Japanese army must be killed, as long as these two divisions and regiments are killed, their expeditionary force will basically achieve victory.
Whether it can be done or not depends on this time.
Li Lei's plan was bold, but it worked surprisingly well.
Who would have thought that they would be able to take out the 11th Division of the Japanese army shortly after they entered the battlefield?
Not to mention that it was killed, it was a heavy blow, and I didn't dare to think about it.
It is one thing for soldiers to use their lives, but the most important thing is that Li Lei commands properly.
As for the actions of the Japanese army, Li Lei's analysis was clear, and it was exactly the same.
Such a commander will not be able to accept it.
After the combat order was issued, the 1st Provisional Regiment immediately carried out a rapid movement in accordance with Li Lei's order.
As soon as the temporary regiment finished resting, it immediately entered the south of Tangji and prepared to ambush the Japanese 56th Division.
Three infantry wings, for the temporary 1st regiment, is not much of a problem.
When the 18th and 55th Divisions of the Japanese Army rushed to Tangji at full speed, the battle between the 1st Regiment and the 55th Division of the Japanese Army was the first to start.
Half a day later, the Fifth, Sixth, and Sixty-sixth Armies, also east of Ringanqiang, encountered the 55th Division of the Japanese Army.
The battle begins.
Shojiro Iida was very surprised by the battle of Ren Anqiang.
According to his judgment, the 56th Division had already attracted the troops of the other side, and the remaining troops should be near Mandalay.
In the area of Ringanqiang, there should be no troops from the other side.
Prior to this, the 55th Division had not encountered much resistance.
So he felt that there was no enemy there.
But now that there are suddenly a large number of troops there, could it be the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops of the other side?
The other side's hundreds of thousands of troops are not in Mandalay, but in the area of Ringanqiang??
Iida Shojiro firmly believes that this army of the other side is another large army of the expeditionary force.
Shojiro Iida had no idea that there was only one regiment of troops fighting in Tangyoshi and his 56th Division.
This conclusion was also reached by the chief of staff of the Japanese army.
He also felt that the troops that appeared in the area of Ren'anqiang must be another army of the other party.
"Your Excellency Commander, I think that this unit of the other side must have been ambushed there a long time ago, and their target is very likely to be our 55th Division."
Shojiro Iida nodded: "You're right, I've always wondered why the 55th Division advanced towards Ringanqiang and encountered no resistance along the way. Now it seems that they are preparing to wipe out our 55th Division in the area of Ringanqiang! ”
The chief of staff of the Japanese army nodded heavily, it must be so.
Baga ......
The commander of the opposing side, a big drop of cunning.
In this way, their 56th Division and 55th Division will be in danger!
What to do!?
Shojiro Iida was very angry, the original good siege plan has failed again, and it has become a breakthrough plan!
It's incredible.
The change in the battlefield is so incredible.
Shojiro Iida was a little overwhelmed.
Now the 18th Division will take three days to reach Ren'anqiang, and it will take three days to reach Tangji.
Which troops to support?
Iida Shojiro is in a dilemma, no matter which army is saved, the other army will be wiped out by the other party.
There's no option at all!
Shojiro Iida was so angry that he tore off all his hair.
Blood stains on the head.
What to do?
What to do?
What to do?
I'm so helpless!
Shojiro Iida didn't know how to make a choice at the moment.
The chief of staff of the Japanese army also had no good ideas.
Their troops, now overstretched, are simply not enough to compete with the other party's 200,000 troops.
This time, is it destined to lose another division?
Iida Shojiro took a deep breath: "Order the 18th Division to immediately advance to Renanqiang and support the 55th Division." Immediately after the convergence, retreat and return the troops to our headquarters.
The 55th Division was ordered to immediately break through to the east, and as long as they entered the territory of the neighboring country, they would be safe. ”
That's all there is to it.
The 55th Division, ask for more blessings.
Just as Iida Shojiro gave the order, a troop, in the darkness of the night, quietly approached the Manshui River.
This unit is the entire special operations battalion led by Xu Hu.
After seven days of marching, their special operations regiment finally infiltrated Bangkok.
Originally, they had scheduled it for five days.
However, because they had to avoid the Japanese army, after crossing the border, Xu Hu's special operations regiment could only travel day and night.
So the arrival time, two days later than scheduled.
In the evening, his troops, important touched the periphery of the Manshui River.
Under the protection of the night, Xu Hu led his troops to advance quickly.
In order to penetrate the Manshui River faster, when Xu Hu and the others boasted about crossing the border, the entire special operations battalion had been changed into Japanese soldiers' clothes.
The only difference is that everyone in the special operations camp has a white towel tied to their arm.
After entering the perimeter of the Manshui River, the special operations battalion captured a local soldier.
After asking the location of the Japanese headquarters, Xu Hu ordered the troops, and the troops immediately made a rapid assault.
All the trucks and combat vehicles, as fast as they could, launched a surprise attack on the Japanese headquarters.
In the darkness of the night, many Japanese soldiers only saw a well-equipped unit galloping by, and they did not know what was going on.
The Japanese army saw that Xu Hu's troops were wearing their clothes and were very well equipped. So instinctively, I thought that an elite unit had been transferred.
So there was no obstruction at all.
They would never have imagined that in the Manshui River, there would be troops of the expeditionary force.
The entire special operations battalion drove tanks and combat vehicles to the gate of the Japanese headquarters, and the Japanese soldiers guarding the gate were still in a daze.
Seeing such a well-trained unit coming over in a hurry, the Japanese guards were strange.
A military officer went up and asked, "Which unit are you?" How did you come to the front of the command late at night? ”
Xu Hu beckoned, and when the military cao saw Xu Hu wearing Zhongzuo's clothes, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately trotted over.
Xu Hu hooked the neck of the Japanese soldier Cao and said in Chinese: "Lao Tzu is a temporary group." ”
Nani?
The military cao was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand.
After this sentence turned a corner in his head, the Japanese army finally reacted, they are enemies!
He was just about to shout, but his neck was broken by Xu Hu.
At the same time, the troops behind Xu Hu immediately rushed over and directly used their knives to solve the guards at the door.
The whole process only takes a few seconds.
Xu Hu ordered two companies to surround the Japanese headquarters and not allow a single devil to escape.
Then he took a company and rushed directly into the Japanese headquarters.
The Japanese command was still brightly lit at this time.
The devils of the entire command have not slept yet.
Right now, they are thinking about the situation on the battlefield with great worry.
Especially Shojiro Iida, his eyes are red, the same as red lanterns.
Suddenly, fierce gunfire rang out outside, as well as the sound of artillery.
The entire Japanese war room was stunned for a moment.
What's going on out there?
Shojiro Iida reacted the fastest, and immediately realized that there must be an enemy outside.
His first instinct was that the local armed forces had carried out a sneak attack on his headquarters.
Although he had signed a peace agreement with the area, and the troops here were generally relatively friendly to their Japanese army.
But it is undeniable that it is not very safe here, and there are always small groups of troops who are not able to sneak up on his headquarters.
Tonight, I'm afraid, it's the same again.
