Chapter 191: Breakthrough

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the attack of the people of China is too fierce. The three infantry brigades under the 84th Infantry Wing of the www.biquge.info Pen & Fun & Pavilion all suffered more than 60 percent casualties. "The commander of the 84th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, Tokinosuke Fukano, had a pale face.

Such losses are already an extremely heavy blow for an infantry wing. If you are not careful, the consequences will be very serious, directly leading to the collapse of an infantry wing. This is also because the soldiers of the 84th Infantry Wing are veterans, so they were able to hold on. If it had been an infantry wing composed of other recruits, I am afraid that it would have collapsed long ago.

"What about the 85th and 86th Wings?" Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji asked.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the 85th Wing, now there are only more than 1,500 people left." Wing Commander of the 85th Infantry Wing, Noh Shijian Sanzuo, reported. Obviously, he has not recovered from the unimaginable losses suffered by the infantry wing.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the 86th Infantry Wing, there are less than two thousand people left." Wing Commander of the 86th Infantry Wing, Ryuichi Koga, reported.

When Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji heard such news, he stumbled under his feet and almost did not stand firmly. The total strength of the three main infantry wings is now less than five thousand. Together with other troops, there are now less than 8,000 troops left in the entire division. This means that in a day and a half, their losses have exceeded 60 percent.

"Yaga! How are we going to fight this battle? Is it that by this time tomorrow, the 22nd Division will be completely annihilated by the Chi Na people? Lieutenant General Oshiroto Sanji roared angrily. If a division is completely lost in three days, this is undoubtedly a precedent.

The Japanese officers of the 22nd Division bowed their heads one by one and did not say a word. They can't do anything about such a situation. Who made their enemies too strong, and their own strength, too weak? If the strength is a little stronger, it will be more than enough to defeat the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army!

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the force we are facing is too powerful. Stronger than any enemy we've ever faced before. If it were on the battlefield in China, we would be able to defeat even if we faced an enemy four or five times our size. However, in the face of this force composed of Chinese people, we have no way at all. Chief of Staff Masao Yamawaki Osa smiled wryly.

Lieutenant General Oshiroto Sanji nodded, he had heard that the Burmese Front had been wiped out, and he thought it was because the Burmese Front's allies were too weak. But now it seems that it is not that the Burmese Front is too weak, but that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is too strong! Well, now they have also tasted the same as when the Burmese Front was defeated.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, otherwise, let's break through. If you stay here, there will be only one result, and that is to be wiped out by the Chinese people. If you break through, you may be able to escape. Tokinosuke Fukano suggested.

Several Japanese officers suddenly had more hope in their eyes. After all, if you can survive, it is undoubtedly the best. No one wants to die. If they can successfully break through, then they may all have a chance to live.

"Breakout? No way. Our mission is to hold on to Naypyidaw and inflict more loss on the living forces of the people of China here. If you retreat like this, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Your Excellency the Commander to explain. Lieutenant General Oshiroto Sanji shook his head.

Seeing that Sanji Oshihiro rejected this suggestion, the faces of those officers suddenly became a little unpleasant. Everyone knows that this time I am afraid that it is really a life of nine deaths.

"With the help of the night, the Chinese stopped the attack, and let the troops step up their efforts to repair their positions. Strive to resist the attack of the Chinese in tomorrow's battle. Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." The officers of the Japanese army replied one after another. However, there were many Japanese officers who were reluctant.

Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji didn't know that it was precisely because of his stubbornness that the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army completely lost the opportunity to escape. Even if he couldn't hold on anymore and chose to break through. But they were already seriously understaffed, and even if they broke through, they were not able to succeed. In the end, it was completely wiped out by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

On October 1, when the sun had just risen, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which had eaten breakfast early, immediately launched an attack.

The artillery and aviation units of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army also launched fierce artillery bombardment and bombardment of the Japanese army, causing extremely heavy losses to the Japanese army.

The fortifications that they had managed to repair overnight were easily destroyed in the heavy shelling and bombardment, and had no effect at all.

On this day, the attack during the day, the offensive of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was still fierce. Under the heavy losses, the Japanese army was only able to retreat one after another, losing a large number of positions. And the casualties are rising.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the position of the 1st Brigade of the 84th Wing has been broken through, and the entire 1st Brigade is shattered." Chief of Staff Masao Yamawaki reported.

"Yaga!" Lieutenant General Oshiroto Sanji scolded. The current situation has become more and more unfavorable for the Japanese 22nd Division.

"Your Excellency Division Commander, the 86th Brigade of the 2nd Wing was surrounded and annihilated by the Zhina." An officer reported.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Oshiroto Sanji's face was already gloomy as if he could drip water. Such a loss is too great for them. If this continues, they will soon be completely wiped out.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, please give the order to break out. We can't go on like this. Tokinosuke Fukano pleaded.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, it's really time to think about breaking through." Masao Yamawaki also suggested.

Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded. Because of the increasing losses, his belief in persevering has been greatly affected. In such a situation, naturally there is only a breakthrough and withdrawal.

"Order the troops, prepare to break out." Lieutenant General Oshirodo Sanji ordered.

It's just that it's too late by this time. The entire 22nd Division of the Japanese Army only had more than 5,000 Japanese troops left. These Japanese troops began to abandon their positions and retreat to the south. Want to break through the encirclement of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and escape from Nay Pyido.

The P-51B fighters hovering in the sky were well aware of the movements of the Japanese army. Qin Shou learned about the movements of the Japanese army as soon as possible, and immediately reacted.

"Did the day really break through? What a death! If they keep going, they may be able to hold out for a while longer. Retreating will only make them perish faster. Qin Shou's face was full of sneers. (To be continued.) )
