Ito is still hesitating and entangled, it is easy to go, Tang Qiuli made it clear that he didn't want to kill them all, the big mouth in Bagu in eastern Yangon was reserved for himself, but the consequences after giving up Yangon made him have to think deeply, retreat without a fight, or leave without the enemy, how to keep his position in the base camp in the sound of shouting and killing, there is a lot of knowledge in this. Green Bulletless Novel〔,163zg,〕

Looking at His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief's hesitating, struggling, and constantly changing face, Kawashima's confidence in himself was shaken, and he thought that he had mastered the imperial army general's hand, and now, he found that he was wrong, very wrong.

Ito opened his eyes, looked at Kawashima, and said calmly: "Kawashima-kun, immediately convey my order, the imperial army troops began to shrink the defensive line, from the west and north of Yangon, and gradually withdraw to the east, but the departments must be in the case of continuous resistance before they can carry out this order, otherwise, I will be charged with desertion, and severely punish the commander of the department, go!" ”

Kawashima's eyes darkened, and there was a bitter taste in his heart, he underestimated the confidence and determination of General Ito, he was not the supreme commander, even if he had a thousand ideas, he could not realize it, and he agreed with a gloomy expression, and was about to go out, Ito said to him again: "Kawashima-kun, report the situation of Yangon to the General Staff of the base camp again, our army is desperately resisting, however, in the face of ten times the enemy army and dozens of times the firepower gap, the imperial army troops have to gradually shrink their positions after paying heavy casualties, if necessary, It is proposed to withdraw from Yangon in order to preserve its strength. ”

Kawashima's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have a lot of flavor from Ito's words, and he couldn't help but secretly admire, "What a cunning old fox, much more clever than the method of direct retreat to the south that he built, and he has an explanation for the base camp, the soldiers and officers of the dispatch army, so as not to be charged with retreating without a fight." ”

"According to the actual situation on the battlefield. Making campaign arrangements is within the purview of the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army, not because he does not want to resist desperately, but because he does not fall into the situation of breaking all the jade. "His own methods, compared with His Excellency the General, are still very tender, Kawashima wants to understand this, and the original decadence of the Tang Dynasty is swept away.

As if to cooperate with Ito's arrangement, a staff officer cautiously knocked on the door and entered. "Report to Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, I have received a report from the forward troops that the divisional troops are attacking fiercely, the northern and western defensive lines have been lost one by one, and the Imperial troops have to retreat step by step, relying on the barricades and fortifications, and fighting step by step, with heavy casualties. The front line has gradually advanced towards the center of the city"

When the last few words were spoken, the heart of this staff officer. All mentioned in his throat, it seems that since the early hours of the morning, the reports he has received are not good news, he is afraid that His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief will be angry, and he will be angry with himself, unexpectedly, Ito said calmly: "Got it, retreat!" After the little staff officer went out, he wiped the sweat from his head.

Such a result. It's not strange at all that Ito has been preparing for such a long time, bringing nearly a million people, several times his superior weaponry and firepower, and another blow with all his strength, the devil Tang Qiuli. If he couldn't beat such a level, Ito really doubted himself and looked down on the sworn enemy of this great Japanese empire.

"However, the speed of the division's advancement is not as fast as I imagined, I have carefully designed and prepared the barricade fortifications for several months, the imperial soldiers who are rich in the spirit of bushido tradition are not so easy to gnaw, and they can't take Yangon without paying a certain price, of course, the premise of this price is that Tang Qiuli will not feel pain, and the timing of the evacuation is very important" Ito thought with a sneer.

The front-line commanders and soldiers of the Japanese army, who did not know their commander-in-chief and chief of staff, had plans and cats in their stomachs, and after receiving the order to resist step by step, they did not have the threat of artillery fire, and used the existing fortifications to fight quite in an orderly manner.

Since the first shot was fired by the First Brigade of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, the battle has been going on for more than three hours, and the brigade commander Liu Jinsheng began to scold his mother, the advance speed of each regiment is too slow, just like a turtle crawling, if it is in the field, with the equipment and training level of the First Brigade, under the cover of tanks, it can fight out sixty or seventy kilometers in three hours.

On a not hot day, Liu Jinsheng opened the collar of his military uniform, sweating profusely, and shouted in the armored command vehicle: "The first regiment? What's the matter, didn't you have drawings for your attack route in advance? Still so slow? "The third regiment? Hit Lao Tzu hard, and keep your bullets to get a cub? "Because there is no artillery support, Liu Jinsheng, who is used to fighting artillery and tanks, and shells are falling all over the sky, and he is very aggrieved.

Whether it was Tang Qiuli or the commanders on the front line, they all underestimated the Japanese barricades that had been operating for several months, Ito did not brag, he turned every house, every high-rise building, and every street into a firepower point, and the Japanese troops on the defense, although not much, as few as seven or eight people, as many as twenty or thirty people, a few light and heavy machine guns plus grenades, posed a great threat to the division's attack troops.

When encountering wide streets, tanks can also exert their power, narrow alleys, tanks are powerless, and they are also covered with grenades and Japanese suicide demomen, blowing up more than a dozen vehicles, the battle is almost in a state of stalemate, not only Liu Jinsheng feels aggrieved, all the front-line commanders have a feeling of being constrained, and almost all brigade commanders are scolding their mothers.

"What? The second regiment can't move? What's going on? Encountered a high-rise fortification, all the windows are fire points, and there is an underground bunker, more than 30 casualties, and your regiment is blocked there? If you transfer all the mortars of the whole regiment to me, you don't believe that the broken building will be bombarded? Liukin shouted angrily, and the report that the three regiments were blocked from attacking undoubtedly ignited the anger in his heart.

"What kind of battle is this fighting? Put a good cannon and don't let it be used, otherwise, the brigade's heavy artillery regiment will be smashed with hundreds of shells, and how many little devils will have to turn into mud, a broken building the size of a pigsty, and a broken brick and tile that will be blown up," Liukin thought with hatred.

Responsible for guiding the attack route of the first brigade of the Niangziguan garrison corps, it was Chu Tian, the leader of the special operations detachment, and his fiancée Murong Xue, at this time, Chu Tian was in the third regiment, in the information he transmitted outside the city, this high-rise fortification, was the key target of attack, Chu Tian did not expect that in the more than 20 days after the information was transmitted, the Japanese army reinforced this firepower point, and built a lot of hidden forts.

This five- or six-storey building is just in front of the attack route of the three regiments, if it is not taken down, the entire three regiments will not be able to continue to attack and advance, looking at the open ground, more than thirty bloody corpses of soldiers, Chu Tian stopped the commander of the three regiments who still wanted to organize a strong attack, don't look at the two of them The military rank is the same, but the difference in status is 108,000 miles.

Chu Tian is a direct subordinate of the first brother of the division, and his status is almost equal to that of the commander of the corps, and the special operations detachment is the elite of the division's nearly one million troops, so when Chu Tian spoke, the regiment commander did not dare not listen, and said with a difficult face: "Captain Chu, I also know that the casualties of the assault will be very large, and the orders of the brigade headquarters must also be carried out, and they have been blocked for more than 40 minutes. ”

After speaking, he glanced at Murong Xue, and wondered in his heart, "This Chu detachment leader went to the front line with a woman, I really don't understand what it means?" He also knew the temper of his brigade commander, and when he listened to his tone, the liver fire had already come out, but don't fight with the Chu detachment leader, if the two quarrel again, it will be difficult for him, the regiment commander, to be caught in the middle.

Chu Tian took the walkie-talkie in the hands of the third regiment commander, "Brigade Commander Liu?" I am Chu Tian, the head of the special operations detachment, and I am responsible for guiding the attack route of your brigade, I am on the position of the third regiment, I will build yì, temporarily stop the attack, otherwise, the casualties of the troops will be too great, of course, on the premise of not affecting the combat plan of your brigade, please consider my construction by Brigade Commander Liu. ”

When Liu Jinsheng heard it, he was the famous head of the special operations detachment, Chu Tian, this is a legendary figure of the division, if it is left in peacetime, it is necessary to be polite, a detachment leader of the family, personally lead the way with the troops, just this heart, it is worthy of Liu Jinsheng's good gratitude, but now it is different, the troops did not attack well, there were casualties, and heavy firepower was not allowed, Liu Jinsheng was in a bad mood, and he was not very polite to speak, not to mention, the general who has been rolling in the war for a long time, that is a good temper?

"I said Captain Chu, is there any defense map for the little devils provided by your special operations detachment? Listening to the report of the third regiment commander, this broken building blocking their offensive line has a lot more firepower than on the drawings? And stuff like a bunker? The offensive was suspended, the time given to me by the corps headquarters was dead, and I spoke to the commander of the third regiment. Liu Jinsheng said dissatisfied.

Chu Tian did not argue, what Liu Jinsheng said was the truth, although this was an unexpected change that only occurred after the drawings were sent, but after all, it was the task of the special operations detachment, and there was a loophole, he understood Liu Jinsheng's feelings, and the soldiers under his command had undue casualties, and it was probably difficult to talk calmly if it was himself.

He handed the walkie-talkie to the third regiment commander, and untied the radio station he carried with him from his body, Murong Xue hurriedly came over to help, after Chu Tian turned on the radio station, he launched a telegram "tick-tock", and the corner of the third regiment leader's eyes saw Chu Tian's skillful technique, and secretly praised "better than the communication unit chief in his own regiment" However, he didn't ask Chu Tian, why did he send the report?

Liu Jinsheng was in the walkie-talkie and shouted loudly: "The third commander? I'll give you twenty minutes to take that building, and if you can't complete the task, you can report to the brigade cooking class! In addition, I'll send you five tanks up, you first clear out the shooting range, and use artillery bombardment, I see how hard the little devil's Wang Ba shell is? ”

It's no wonder that Liu Jin was angry, not only was the attack of the three regiments blocked, but the other regiments were also not making smooth progress, and if it continued like this, the speed of the attack was delayed, and the combat progress of the entire corps was affected, and he himself had to report to the cooking class of the corps headquarters?! ~！
