Terauchi Shouichi's words made Tsukada attack suddenly startled, and he was stunned for a long time before he asked tentatively: "Are you saying that Jiang Haoran transferred those two divisions to Meng Gong just to attack Yingduo in advance?" ”

Terauchi Shouyi: "Otherwise, what do you think Jiang Haoran did when the battle situation on the Eastern Front was unclear, and he rashly withdrew the two divisions to Meng Gong?" Is it just to retreat and preserve strength? ”

"Shhh Tsukada took a breath of relief, and there was a feeling of sudden realization, he immediately realized that the situation of the two armies flanking Yingduo had been formed, even if the imperial army planes did not leave their skies at all times, I am afraid they would not be able to stop their advance, they could still use the night time to advance towards Yingduo, at most two days could reach the outside of Yingduo City, two divisions on the Eastern Front, three divisions of the Fifth Army, plus two divisions of the British Army, the strength of the two divisions could reach the terrifying seven divisions, with the strength of one division of the second division of the Imperial Army, It is no longer capable of resisting, and basically there is only one way to retreat. And on the Eastern Front, even if the Imperial Army completely annihilated the 75th Army of the Expeditionary Force, it would be useless, and they were undoubtedly defeated in this battle, and they were defeated very badly.

But Tsukada was not dead, and after a thought flashed, he asked urgently: "Terauchi-kun, I think you must still have a way, right, no matter what, we can't let them easily occupy LinkedIn like this, or can we at least eat the 75th Army, so even if we lose, we will lose better?" ”

The corners of Terauchi Shouichi's mouth hooked slightly, revealing a hint of an evil smile, and said: "We have already lost this battle, and it is no longer meaningful to use the three remnants of the Eastern Front to deal with the 75th Army of the Expeditionary Force. At this time, it would be good if the 75th Army could preserve its integrity, such an army, there is no need to risk it, even if the expeditionary force succeeds in occupying Yingduo, will they be able to gain a firm foothold in northern Burma? I don't think so! ”

"Oh, I don't know what Terauchi-kun thinks?" Hearing that there was still a turning point in the battle, Tsukada suddenly looked happy.

Terauchi Shouichi: "Although the expeditionary force has completed this strategic shift, crossed the sea to occupy Yingda, and can be said to have achieved great success tactically, the biggest difficulty in front of us still cannot be solved 616161616161

"Provisions, you're saying they still don't have access to supplies?" Tsukada replied.

"Yes, provisions! After this battle, their ammunition consumption is not small, at least the consumption of nearly half of the two armies on the Eastern Front is no problem, although they temporarily occupied Indo, but in a short period of time they could not build the Burma-India road at all, the food, weapons and ammunition of the 100,000 army, can not be expected to be carried by the people from Imphal, hundreds of miles away, through the mountains and rivers, on their shoulders, right? Five days later, the 18th Division of the Imperial Army will be able to arrive in Burma, join the 2nd Division, and attack Yingduo from the front, the 38th Division, the 55th Division, and the 16th Division, and attack Mong Gong on all fronts. Even if he can airdrop, but with Jiang Haoran's airlift capacity, if he guarantees food, he can't guarantee ammunition, and he can only choose one of the two, and in the end he still has to withdraw from Burma. ”

"Yo Xi!" Tsukada nodded again and again when he heard this, but then said: "But in this way, Meng Gongtian is bound to bring huge casualties to the imperial army. ”

"No, no, Meng Gong may be a natural danger for the expeditionary force, but not necessarily for the imperial army. Tsukada-kun, if we urgently transfer another batch of Hanoi warships over and cover Meng Gong with powerful artillery fire, will this natural danger still exist? ”

"Terauchi-kun, don't forget, Jiang Haoran still has helicopter gunships, no matter how tight the supplies are, he will ensure that these elite weapons maintain combat effectiveness at all times, Hanoi ships are almost invisible under their attacks, and the west bank of the Inovady River is full of jungles, no one can say when they will come out, and no matter how many ships in a round of air raids are not enough for them to blow up."

"Yes, the armed helicopter is indeed the biggest threat to the Hanoi ships, but have you noticed that although Jiang Haoran has the strength to compete with the imperial army for air supremacy, but today he has made a turtle with a shrunken head, except for a small number of fighters wandering around the periphery, he does not dare to confront the imperial army head-on, do you know what the reason is?"

Tsukada Tsukada said: "In addition to the limited production capacity of his 331 base, he can't afford to consume it, what else is the reason?" ”

Shouichi Terauchi: "This is just one of them, the biggest reason is that they are short of fuel, and there is no oil field, and fuel has always been beyond their means, and they are extremely tight." After the Yunnan-Burma Highway was cut off by the imperial army, the fuel for the entire Zhina was even more difficult to find, and if it wasn't for the imperial army forcing Jiang Haoran into a hurry tonight, it is estimated that there would not be this large-scale air raid. Therefore, Jiang Haoran has not been able to organize air raids like tonight a few times, and as long as the Fifth Flying Regiment of the Imperial Army tightens air traffic control, Jiang Haoran's helicopter will not dare to come out at all. ”

Speaking of this, Tsukada seemed to remember something, and was silent for a long time before he said, "Teranachi-kun, don't you think tonight's air raid is very weird?" How could Jiang Haoran's plane perform so well in the night battle, and achieve all-weather combat without any disobedience, which even the imperial army could not do, how did he do it? ”

"Yes, Jiang Haoran has too many secrets, if he didn't suddenly come up with an excellent armed helicopter this time, how could he bring the expeditionary force back to life? How many secrets did he still have that the Imperial Army didn't know? ”

Tsukada muttered, "It seems that if you want to know all this, you can only wait for the 'Falcon' to appear?" ”

Terauchi Shouichi looked at Tsukada and didn't say anything, and didn't ask any questions about his words, obviously he also knew what 'Falcon' represented, and there was a little more agreement with Tsukada's words.

In the following time, Terauchi Shouichi issued several orders in a row, and then the two of them began a long war game with the staff team, although the defeat in front of them has been decided, but the war will not stop because of this, but is advancing to another **.

Mina, the headquarters of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army.

Tada Jun, the commander of the 55th Division, was silent with the telegram just sent by Shouichi Terauchi in his hand, and he couldn't guess the order of the headquarters.

Seeing Tadajun's serious expression, the commander of the 16th Division on the side, Nakajima Imasago panicked: "Tada-kun, what's wrong, did the general of the temple issue a punishment decision against us?" ”

Although Tada Jun seized the command of Nakajima Imago, he did not complain at this moment, but secretly rejoiced that at least he did not have to bear the main responsibility for this loss tonight, but the message from the headquarters still made him a little panicked.
