Mandalay, headquarters of the 17th Army of the Island Army. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Commander Yamashita Fengwen was already so anxious that he turned around like ants on a hot pot, his tall military boots were trampling on the concrete floor, his bald head and face without a military hat were covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face was also very ugly, and he no longer had a trace of the demeanor of the "Malay Tiger".

Although the situation in the east and west is under the control of the locust army, the most important gateway, Kyaukmy Town, has been in the hands of several alarms.

In the early hours of the morning, there were vicious incidents in which the first and second lines of defense were broken and the heavy artillery brigades were tragically destroyed by helicopter gunships.

A good ambush battle was turned into an encounter by the stupid pig of Imamura Jun, and the defeat was like a mountain and collapsed to the end, and Yamashita Fengwen hated him so much that he was in the mood to kill him.

However, in order to maintain the third line of defense, he had to appease Imamura Jun to respond to the battle actively and calmly, on the one hand, he sent the 237th Division to rush to the aid of Kyaukmi Town, and on the other hand, he asked for emergency support from the air force.

It is hoped that through remediation, the special operations division can also be repulsed, and the first and second lines of defense will be recaptured from them, so as to maintain the locust army's foothold in Mandalay.

As soon as Kyaukmei Town is lost, Mingong can be threatened to the west, and Nanyan Town can be outflanked to the east, which means that the three defense lines on the periphery of Mandalay will be completely broken, and its danger is indescribable, which makes Yamashita Bongwen not panic.

But the good news did not come as scheduled, just now, the air force reported that the defense line of Kyaukmy Town was staggered, the enemy was in our position and I was the enemy, and the locust army had completely mixed up with the expeditionary force, and there was no other way except to carry out indiscriminate bombing.

Imamura Jun was even more anxious again, the special operations division was attacking too fiercely, the quality of the soldiers was too high, the locust army could not match it at all, and the third line of defense was not guaranteed, unless reinforcements could arrive in half an hour.

Yamashita Fengwen was so angry that he scolded Imamura Jun on the phone, and ordered him to hold the third line of defense at all costs, otherwise let him wash his belly and prepare for seppuku.

Although he said the cruel words, Yamashita Fengwen also knew that it was useless to say this, and he had heard of the toughness and terror of the special operations division more than once, and even experienced it himself, it was really not that the locusts army was incompetent, but that the special operations division was too strong.

During the surprise attack on Homalin, he and the 16th Division were intercepted by the Airborne Brigade, and a force of 10,000 men cut off his entire division in a daze, and also successfully ate his brigade of more than 20,000 people, this kind of terrifying force has never been seen in the army for decades.

It was precisely because he knew the horror of the special operations division that he left the heavy artillery brigade and tank wing in Kyaukmy Town, and the preparations were not inadequate, but he did not expect that in just a few hours after the start of the battle, the second division was already facing a rout on the whole front.

The 237th Division set out early in the morning, and it has only been three or four hours since then, and it will be in the afternoon to arrive at the earliest.

After experiencing an inner torment, Yamashita stopped pacing and decisively ordered the 1st Guards Division in Nanyan Town to immediately withdraw from Nanyan Town and move closer to Mandalay.

As soon as Kyaukmei Town was lost, Nanyan Town's ass would be completely exposed to the guns of the Special Operations Division, and if the Special Operations Division quickly turned around and penetrated directly into Nanyan Town, the 1st Guards Division would immediately be cut off and retreat and become a lone army.

At the same time, the 16th Division of Mingong on the Western Front also had to retreat. Although separated by an Inouaddy River, the expeditionary force has a large number of transport helicopters, as well as a team of airborne troops with super combat capability, and has lost the flank protection of Kyaukmy Town, Mingong is geographically isolated for dozens of miles, and if the airborne troops suddenly appear behind the 16th Division, they will also be at the risk of being separated and surrounded by front and rear attacks.

Therefore, Yamashita Fengwen also ordered the two divisions of the Western Front to retreat and garrison in the area of Sagaing Mountain on the other side of the Ava Bridge, which is the second and last line of defense prepared by Yamashita Fengwen for the troops on the Western Front, because it is related to the safety of Ren'anqiang and Mengdu behind him, and the Sagaing Mountain position must not be lost.

The importance of Mandalay is not in Mandalay, but in the oil of Ringanchang.

Before the attack on Southeast Asia, the material shortage of the empire has reached the verge of collapse, especially the fuel oil, almost reached the situation of no oil available, since the occupation of Southeast Asia, this situation has been greatly eased, the rich Southeast Asian countries have provided almost all the resources needed for the imperial war, Indonesia's oil, coal, Singapore's rubber, Burma, Siam's mineral resources, etc., these have provided a guarantee for the empire's "holy war", among which the oil fields of Ringanqiang have also contributed to it, The abundant oil production provided a guarantee for the massive squandering of locust aircraft and tanks.

Therefore, Ringanqiang is far more important than Mandalay, and the western front of Sagaing Mountain is the last barrier of Ringanqiang, which cannot be missed.

After doing this, Yamashita sat quietly for a while, the war situation changed so quickly that he was a little breathless, and he had to think clearly as soon as possible and come up with a perfect plan to hold Mandalay.

But as if today was destined to be the day for him to collapse, before the ass was hot, an urgent message came from Mengdu, just now, a large number of destroyers and cruisers with the badge of the blue sky and white sun suddenly appeared on the sea surface of Mengdu, dozens of ships lined up, all kinds of artillery fire could not help but open fire one after another, and carried out wanton and indiscriminate bombardment of Mengdu, and even fighters and bombers flew over Mengdu, and the shore-based artillery on the coastline was completely destroyed by them before they could open fire.

After the artillery raid and bombing, a large number of landing ships appeared on the surface of the sea and immediately carried out a beach-grabbing landing operation against Mengdu.

This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and it scared Yamashita that almost didn't roll off his seat.

Of course, he had heard about the Chinese Navy's entry into Chittagong, but it was limited to two aircraft carriers, and he did not know that the Chinese Navy was also equipped with a large number of destroyers, cruisers, and landing ships, so he did not expect the Chinese Navy to participate in this campaign.

At the same time, a unit that has been formed for less than a month should carry out such a large military operation as a coastal strike and landing operation, which would be inconceivable and completely unrealistic in the eyes of anyone, so Yamashita Fengfu did not make an emergency plan in this regard at all, and it is strange that he did not panic when he suddenly heard the news.

After a long time, Yamashita Fengwen returned to normalcy and ordered the 236th Division stationed in Mengdu to block the attack of the Chinese Navy at all costs, and urgently dispatched a wing of Ren'anqiang to rush to the aid of Mengdu.
