If Mawlamyine still has troops resisting, then Dawei has been completely occupied by the Japanese army.

The two Y divisions there abandoned the city and fled when the two Japanese divisions had just begun their attack.

In just two hours, the 18th and 55th Divisions of the Japanese army occupied Dawei.

The commander of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, Tanaka Shinichi, was very strange, and the intelligence said that there were troops of two divisions of country Y stationed here, almost 20,000 people.

It's almost the strength of one of their divisions.

Why did you just retreat?

Dawei is a very important place.

The excessive success made Tanaka Shinichi wonder if the troops of Country Y were engaged in some conspiracy.

So after the two divisions of country Y retreated, he did not immediately let the troops into the city, but sent a small force to reconnoitre.

Then it was determined that the two divisions of country Y had really retreated.

Otherwise, his division would not even be able to use up for two hours.

Originally, he was still preparing for a big battle, but he didn't expect the troops of country Y to be so rubbish.

Even such an important place as a tile can be abandoned.

It's really confusing.

Shinichi Tanaka's situation was reported, which made Shojiro Iida feel strange.

Although it is said that the combat effectiveness of the troops of country Y is not strong, they are also stationed in Dawei, and there are 20,000 people.

And they are not badly armed, even a little stronger than his own troops.

Heavy artillery, tanks, and even aircraft were available.

India has the airfield of their country Y, where, according to intelligence, there are almost fifty planes.

Fifty, a lot.

However, the commander of Tanaka's New 1st Division did not mention in the battle report that the other side had planes sorted.

Even their soldiers didn't seem to see them.

The other party directly abandoned the clay tile and retreated.

This is so counterintuitive.

Dawa is the gateway to Ringanqiang, and they did it in this way, this is telling him that the other party is not even ready to ask for Ringanqiang?

Before the start of the war, Iida Shojiro had a national understanding of the troops of country Y, and knew that the troops they were stationed here were not elite. It's nothing more than a patchwork force.

Although it is said to be the troops of country Y, there are a lot of Ah San soldiers in it.

And Ah Sanbing has always been unreliable in fighting.

But no matter how unreliable it is, it's not so unreliable, right?

Retreating directly, this rare situation surprised Shojiro Iida.

He also thinks that there is no problem here.

The cautious Shojiro Iida did not ask the 18th and 56th Divisions to continue the offensive, but told them to strengthen their defense and stand by in place.

As for Mawlamyine, there were only a dozen or so people left in the remaining 100 Y troops, all of whom were captured.

The 11th and 55th Divisions captured Mawlamyine with great ease.

Although they met with a little resistance, it was very weak.

The 7th Armored Brigade of Country Y directly retreated. Their tanks did not know why they were not on the line at all.

This anomaly has always made Iida Shojiro a little confused.

What the hell is going on?

He furrowed his brow and pondered the strangeness of this side.

But for a moment, he had no clue.

At the headquarters of the 15th Army, he and his chief of staff reorganized the deployment of the entire Y troops.

No anomalies were found.

Their intelligence agency came back with news that the troops of country Y had fully retreated, and it seemed that they had retreated in a hurry.

It's not like a deliberate attempt to lure them into taking the bait.

In this case, there is no ambush of the other party in front?

Just when Iida Shojiro was puzzled, Alexander was already busy here.

His troops, who had abandoned Mawlamyine and Dawei, did not fight valiantly against the Japanese army at all.

This annoyed him greatly.

Those two places are very important, what are your subordinates doing?

According to their report, the Japanese army was very strong in combat and was simply insane.

"Alexander, the Japanese attack is so crazy that they don't hide from our artillery fire at all, they just charge. This has a big impact on our morale.

Holding out is pointless and will only increase casualties.

For the sake of the lives of my subordinates, I can only order a retreat. ”

Listen to this, it's shameless!

It's obvious that he is fleeing from the battle, but he says such righteous words.

It's just unbearable for uncles and aunts.

But Alexander could only do it in a hurry.

His troops are retreating completely, and they can't all be shot, right?

Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is indeed very strong.

According to the previous battle report, the Japanese army attacked Mawlamyine and Dawei, at least 100,000 people!

Oh, my God!

That's twice the size of our troops.

You can't win this battle!

Alexander had no choice but to order his troops to retreat to the Tonggu area for defense.

If they can hold Tonggu, then their troops will be able to stabilize their position.

At the same time, Alexander also found that his troops were no match for the Japanese army.

The Japanese army actually dispatched 100,000 people!

This battle is basically unwinnable, and it is difficult to say that half of the territory can be held.

Alexander sighed and immediately went to find Li Lei.

If you want to hold this place, you can only ask the expeditionary force for help.

Especially Li Lei.

In Li Lei's hands, there is a very capable army, which he has long understood.

Li Lei was a little surprised by Alexander's arrival, it was only less than a day, why did he come?

David didn't expect that this Alexander, not long after he left in the morning, how could he come back?

David looked at his watch, and it wasn't yet noon.

Li Lei said: "Alexander, did you leave something here?" ”

Alexander was not polite, and said directly: "Commander Li Lei, our troops have been attacked by the Japanese army, and now it is very dangerous, I need your support." ”

Well?

The Japanese army began to attack?

Li Lei was stunned for a moment: "When did the Japanese army start attacking?" ”

"Just three hours ago." Alexander said: "My troops suffered heavy losses. ”

Li Lei said in his heart, yes!

And then blindfolded, a few hours ago?

Li Lei still thought he had heard it wrong, three hours ago?

You're kidding!

Your troops, with 40,000 men, can't hold on for even three hours?

Li Lei tried to calm himself: "Alexander, do you mean that the Japanese army has now occupied Mawlamyine and Dawei?" ”

If Alexander can come over in such a hurry, then the speed of the Japanese army's attack must have exceeded his expectations.

Alexander was stunned for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Two hours ago, these two places were still in our hands. ”

Li Lei laughed angrily, two hours ago?

In other words, it is no longer in your hands.

Li Lei knew that the combat effectiveness of the troops of Country Y was very scummy, but he didn't expect it to be so scum.

Why didn't you fight at all?

Otherwise, even if the Japanese army is dispatched, they can resist for a few days.

David had a hot temper, and directly lifted Alexander up, and the spit sprayed on Alexander's face: "What about your troops?" Where are you now?? ”

David was visibly furious.

Are your troops eating?

Actually lost Mawlamyine and clay tiles?

That's lost too quickly, isn't it?

If we had let our troops go earlier, we wouldn't have been so passive.

Well, now that the important port is occupied by the Japanese army, their military supplies will soon be cut off.

Without supplies, there is simply no way to fight!

Pig teammates!

It's a pig teammate!

David wanted to punch Alexander, but clenched his fists and held back.

If he really fights, it will cause a diplomatic dispute.

Li Lei waved his hand and asked David to put Alexander down: "Where are your troops now?" ”

Alexander straightened his clothes in horror, not daring to look at David's angry face. He said to Li Lei: "Commander Li Lei, my troops are now deployed in the Tonggu area. Please your troops hurry up and support us, if it is too late, my troops will be surrounded. ”

Same as the ancient?

Li Lei turned around and glanced at the map.

Tonggu's location is very important, it is located in the middle of the southern part of the entire battlefield.

To the north is Pinhmanna and Mandalay, and to the west is Ringanchang.

If Tonggu is occupied by the Japanese army, the situation on the entire battlefield will become passive.

Li Lei pursed his lips and said: "Alexander, my troops will set off immediately, but ......"

Alexander said: "Thank you, Commander, you are such a heroic man. But what? ”

"However, you have to pay the price. Because of your discrimination against my troops, this time my troops help you resist the attack of the Japanese army, you need to pay? ”

what?

Alexander was stunned, pay?

What does that mean?

"Your temporary regiment entered here to fight, didn't you say it a long time ago? We have signed the agreement. Commander Li Lei, you have the obligation to send your troops to help us resist the Japanese attack. ”

Li Lei smiled: "You still know that there is an agreement between us!" What did you do earlier? Tell you Alexander, you want me to send troops this time, yes. Give me all the equipment of your 7th Armored Brigade. You don't need to anyway.

Don't worry, I'll borrow it.

When the Japanese army is killed, I will return the equipment to you immediately.

I, Li Lei, are the talkers! ”

Borrow gear!?

Alexander felt like he had been struck by lightning.

Don't you have equipment for your temporary regiment?

He's heard that there's a lot of weapons and equipment to support you!

Why do you want to borrow my gear?

Moreover, it is my equipment of the 7th Armored Brigade that I have to borrow!

Are you crazy?

My 7th Armoured Brigade has 50 tanks, hundreds of trucks, a large number of anti-tank guns and artillery of various calibers, and two motorized battalions.

Do you want to borrow? That's not going to work.

If it's a couple of guns, it's okay.

Borrow the equipment of a brigade, this is not talked about at all!
