Chapter 1308 Sinister intentions

There was nothing to say all night, and in the early hours of the morning, the fat man received a call from Stilwell. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The 200th Division of the Mechanized Division of the Fifth Army, the vanguard of the expeditionary force, has caught up with the 56th Division, the rearguard unit of the 15th Army of the little devils.

In order to achieve the goal of blocking the retreat road of the little devils, the 200th Division has launched an attack on the rear guard troops of the 56th Division of the little devils.

The 5th Army, the 6th Army, and the 66th Army of the Expeditionary Force rushed to reinforce the 200th Division from three directions, striving to encircle and annihilate the 56th Division of the little devils.

In order to gain time to annihilate the 56th Division of Little Devils, he was required to lead the LinkedIn Burmese Army to drag the 18th Division and the 55th Division of Little Devils.

Stall?

Now the 18th Division and the 55th Regiment of the little devils don't dare to attack, okay!

Of course, it is impossible for the Burmese little devils to launch a full-scale attack on the expeditionary force without taking out the Anglo-Burmese army in Ringanqiang, and all military idiots know that if the threat from the flanks is not swept away, it will be a trouble.

What's more, the offensive routine played by the little devils in Myanmar is to divide the troops into three ways and outflank them in a roundabout way, and they know better than anyone the importance of flanks.

The little devils used three divisions to attack the Anglo-Burmese army in Ringanqiang, mainly because the 33rd Division was annihilated in front of them, and the 18th Division suffered a big loss, allowing them to re-estimate the combat effectiveness of the Anglo-Burmese army.

In addition, they are very familiar with the combat effectiveness of the Guofu Expeditionary Force, and they believe that with the 56th Division and one division, they can stop the expeditionary force from attacking from the rear.

Even if it is not good, the 18th Division and the 55th Division are not far away, as long as the Anglo-Burmese army in Ringanqiang is not dragged down, and the troops are divided against outflanking, the expeditionary force can be controlled to death.

The plans of the fat man, Slim, Stilwell and the top of the expeditionary force are sounding, and the calculations of the top brass of the Burmese little devils are also crackling, it depends on whose plan is better!

Plans can never keep up with changes, and whoever can play better on the spot will tilt the balance of victory in favor of which side.

The Burmese Japanese army that poured out of the nest made the fat man think more in his heart.

Now coupled with Stilwell's briefing, he saw the little devil's deeper intentions.

He used the Anglo-Burmese army of Ringanqiang as bait to attract Burmese devils to the nest, and the effect seems to be good.

However, he ignored the strength of the Guofu Expeditionary Force, whether the Expeditionary Force annihilated the 56th Division of the Japanese Army as he wished, he did not dare to pack the ticket.

If the battle is stalemate, the 55th Division, which is now in the middle of the ranks, may withdraw and instead encircle the three armies of the expeditionary force.

As long as the 18th Division can resist the attack of the Anglo-Burmese army in Ringanqiang, then it is still very possible to gather two divisions of the first division to eat the expeditionary force in one bite.

Don't forget, the little devil has air superiority, and in terms of individual soldier quality, the expeditionary force needs five soldiers to compete with a little devil, and the little devil has more than 50,000 people, and the expeditionary force of 100,000 people is not a problem.

Originally, the little devils used the 55th and 56th divisions to attack the expeditionary force on the front line of Pingmanna, but now they are just changing places.

At this moment, the 18th Division on the opposite side did not make an offensive move, which confirmed his hypothesis.

Instead of fighting on the Pingmanna line and fighting with the expeditionary force with the pockets arranged, it is better to drag the expeditionary force to an area without fortifications and bunkers to rely on, and seek an opportunity to annihilate.

As a commander, the test is the ability to adapt to changes on the battlefield.

He hurriedly called Stilwell and told him what he had guessed.

Just hung up the phone and saw him calling, Stilwell naturally understood the seriousness of the matter, and immediately discussed with the high-level generals of the expeditionary force that the 55th Division must be guarded against little devils.

As soon as he hung up the phone, the fat man immediately issued a series of orders, he could not wait for the attack of the 18th Division of the little devil, and he had to show the attack power of the British and Burmese army, so that the 55th Division of the little devil did not dare to move easily.

Of course, if conditions allow, it would be better to be able to eat the 18th Division.

"Order, send artillery observation posts, pay attention to the little devil's bombers, Jiang Yi's artillery, while concealing themselves, keep shelling the little devil's eighteenth division!"

"Order, the mobile brigade of the hooligan detachment will send scouts to be responsible for monitoring any movement of the 55th division of the little devils, and the main force of the mobile brigade has repeatedly harassed the 18th division of the little devils!"

"Order, the tank regiment and armored brigade of the 7th Armored Brigade of the Anglo-Burmese Army are ready to attack the 18th Division of the little devil at any time, and all members of the Liu Yu detachment are ready to attack...... Order, the 1st Infantry Division of the Anglo-Burmese Army, prepare for the attack, and the 17th Infantry Division of the Anglo-Burmese Army ......"

A series of orders were issued, and the generals of the entire Anglo-Burmese army were taken aback, how did the defense turn into an offensive battle?

Fortunately, the artillery had already taken out most of the artillery of the 18th Division, and the difficulty of the attack was slightly reduced.

As soon as some British and Burmese officers received the order for the fat man's attack, they told Lieutenant General Slim directly.

Lieutenant General Slim was also taken aback, under the advance of the three divisions of the little devil, it would be good if Ren'anqiang's defense line could be held, and the fat man actually ordered an attack.

Lieutenant General Slim felt that he couldn't do it anymore, so he hurriedly called the fat junior.

"Junior brother, can't we hold our positions well?" Slim spoke to the fat man almost pleadingly.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, who has the greatest credit for annihilating the 18th Division and guarding Ren'anqiang?" The fat man asked with a smile.

Nonsense, of course, the merit of annihilating the 18th Division is great, and if the 18th Division can be annihilated, even if Ren'anqiang does not hold it, it is not a big problem.

"However, the Japanese army has three divisions, which is still the size of a division, and the 55th Division is behind the 18th Division, can the Japanese devils let you annihilate the 18th Division and ignore it?" Although Slim still had doubts in his mind, he was moved.

"Your Excellency Lieutenant General, we Chinese have a fixed saying, called 'mountain people have their own tricks', you can rest assured in the Ren'an Qiang headquarters and wait for the good news of the fat master!" The fat man laughed.

"Uh, well-known then!" Lieutenant General Slim was very dissatisfied with his explanation, but he had no choice but to compromise.

The British and Burmese troops fled half of Burma, and he was left with such a little money, if the fat man was tossed in the first war, then he would have the intention of committing suicide.

The fat man is definitely going to attack, but he is still waiting for one thing to happen, that is, the transfer of the 55th Division.

"Boom, boom, boom......" There was a "boom" of artillery from the artillery position behind him, and Jiang began to carry out his order and carry out non-stop artillery bombardment of the 18th Division of the little devil.

The fat man hurriedly walked out of the forward command post, lay on the bunker of the trench, and observed the results of Jiang Yi's artillery bombardment with a telescope......
