769.Burning Rangoon (IV)
Some people may say that the Japanese have reinforcements, but you also have allies! But in fact, the performance of the Allies, that is, the British army, in this war was simply extremely poor! In addition, Zhou Weiguo repeatedly warned him, and the British could not be trusted. Dai Anlan didn't think about the British army at all! Coupled with the current performance of the British army, it is already good for Dai Anlan not to scold.
"Continue to send a telegram to the command to report the delivery of materials, just say that our supplies are running out! And the British army was slow to hand over the supplies to us! Dai Anlan's face sank, at this time, he didn't want the British army to watch the show so happily! It's theirs, it's theirs!
"Yes!" As soon as the soldiers heard the order, they ran away.
Dai Anlan snorted coldly, he was not happy, he also had to make the British unhappy. You know, they came to fight for the British! As a result, the actions of the British ** team really made him very unhappy!
After about an hour, the devil's plane withdrew.
Yangon's piers and airports have also become a sea of fire! Civilians have been killed and wounded innumerable! In particular, the dock was a gathering place for civilians.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander! There's news from the city! A Japanese major general walked up to the Japanese lieutenant general and spoke.
"Yo Xi? How so? The Japanese lieutenant general asked.
"The Chinese and British armies don't seem to be compatible! Guarding the front of the position was the Chinese army, and the British ** team stayed behind the squadron ** team, with no intention of helping at all. The major general smiled, "This should be good news for us." ”
The Japanese lieutenant general narrowed his eyes, "Interesting! This group of self-righteous Brits, just so high? It seems that to break through Rangoon, it will have to rely on the British! ”
"What do you mean, Your Excellency the Division Commander?"
"In the Xitang River, the 17th British Division of more than 8,000 people only went back 3,000 people." The Japanese lieutenant general smiled, "You say, if we show some signs that we can't be defeated, will the British rush out to take revenge?" ”
"What do you mean, Your Excellency the Division Commander? Show the enemy weakness and lure the British ** team to attack! ”
"Yo Xi, if the British ** team attacks and is ambushed by us, then the ** team, save, or not?" The Japanese lieutenant general laughed, "If we save it, then we will ambush it again and let them suffer heavy losses, if it is not saved, then the relationship between China and Britain, we can make a good fuss." ”
"Hey! Your Excellency the division commander is wise, this strategy is really good! ”
"It's all left over from Chinese play!" The Japanese lieutenant general sighed, "You go and prepare for this matter." ”
"Hey!"
"As soon as possible, I estimate, in 2 hours, the Air Force of the China people should arrive! However, fortunately, the target of our bombing this time was the dock and the airport, the airport in Yangon, and it should not be able to land. "We will use this ploy before the air force in China comes or after it leaves." ”
"Hey! However, for the sake of safety, I felt that this ploy would be carried out after the departure of the China Air Force. The Japanese major general thought for a moment and spoke, "The time should be about three or four o'clock in the afternoon, our imperial army is a little tired, and it can be seen from the battlefield at a glance that we are already quite weak, so that the British army will be fooled!" ”
"Well, in that case, you can arrange everything! As for the air force of the Chinese people, as soon as the air force of the Chinese people came, they told the warriors to retreat to the woods immediately. ”
"Hey!"
……
The command of the expeditionary force, meetings against the front continued.
Of course, everyone is also worried about the situation at the front.
"Report!" At this point, another fighter interrupted the meeting.
"Read." Stilwell looked at the telegram in the soldier's hand and spoke.
"Yes! It had been three days since the Fifth Army arrived in Rangoon, and negotiations with the British for supplies were refused. This morning, the Japanese army launched an attack on Yangon, and our army once again negotiated with the British army about supplies! Rejected again! The Japanese army attacked fiercely, bombing, heavy artillery, etc. were countless, and our army's armament consumption was huge, and it was in urgent need of replenishment! ”
The soldier's voice fell, and in the command headquarters, the face of the lieutenant ** officer was ugly, what do you mean? We helped you fight, and you didn't even give us the supplies that should have been given? So why should we help you fight? Playing a hairball?
Stilwell's face was not good-looking, he did not understand what was going on with the British army in Burma.
The soldier stopped talking, "For the sake of safety, our army has set up positions on all sides of Yangon!" The Allies said that their positions needed to have strategic depth, so they built positions in the rear of our troops, without exception. ”
"Grass!" The grumpy general slapped the table and was furious, "What the hell is this? Put our army in front, they don't have any strength at all? Supplies are not given? ”
"That's it! Commander, if you want this, what army is this coalition allied with, and what alliance is it forged? We're not cheap, we have to run over to do chores for them! ”
"Commander, let the Fifth Army come back!"
"I can't stand this anger!"
In the conference room, a third of the people stood up and looked at Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming.
Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming's faces were more ugly than those present. After all, Luo Zhuoying is the acting commander, and Du Yuming is the commander of the Fifth Army, and now he is the deputy commander.
Zhou Weiguo sighed, seeing that Luo Zhuoying and Du Yuming did not speak, he looked at Stilwell, "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, we should ask the British Army to immediately replenish the equipment needed by the Fifth Army!" Otherwise, Yangon should be given to the Japanese. ”
Stilwell nodded, "Not only that, but I'll have the British soldiers help defend as well!" Please calm down! ”
So, Stilwell ordered the British to deliver the promised supplies, and at the same time, the Fifth Army should give them priority what they needed, and at the same time, because the British army's performance was too chilling, he ordered the British army to defend the position with all their might.
Zhou Weiguo sighed when he saw the herald order for the soldiers to go down, and always had a bad premonition, feeling that Rangoon would most likely still be defeated by the British army.
After doing this, the person who stood up in the conference room sat down indignantly and looked at Stilwell with an unkind face.
Stilwell sighed, always feeling that the British were not angry. But in fact, it is indeed not competitive. If he fights, he will not be looked down upon here.
Originally, the meeting discussed how to defeat the Japanese army in Rangoon, but now the topic of the meeting has been changed to how to hold Rangoon.
The meeting then resumed.
With Zhou Weiguo's temper, if he is in command, it must be the aircraft cannon! Guaranteed firepower superiority, so that the Japanese tremble under such firepower! Then concentrate the superior forces and go directly, there is nothing to say.
But the Fifth Army is different, although the Fifth Army is an expansion of the original 200 divisions. But in terms of combat effectiveness, it is still a step behind. Although, it was the fierce general Dai Anlan who led them.
……
Over Yangon, more than 100 planes came from the north.
"Captain, it's Yangon down there!"
