The headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, in Qin Shou's office. www.biquge.info The main officers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, including the commanders of the seven infantry regiments and the commanders of the artillery regiments, gathered here.

The small room was filled with smoke, as if there was a fire.

"Brethren, everyone should know the situation. The little devils of the three divisions, more than 30,000 people, are rushing towards Myitkyina. The 18th and 33rd Divisions of the Japanese Army, which were closest to us, were only three days away. Next, we will face an uphill battle! Qin Shou's gaze glanced at these officers.

Everyone's faces are not very good-looking. It can be seen that they are all under too much pressure. Although, now the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has grown to more than a dozen infantry regiments. But the only ones that really had combat effectiveness were the seven infantry regiments and artillery regiments in front.

"Commander, I really invested a lot of money this time. They only had four divisions in Burma, but they sent three divisions in one go to deal with us. Aren't they afraid of the British and the expeditionary force to take the opportunity to counterattack? Sun Changwu smiled bitterly.

"The British and the expeditionary force, under the blows of the Japanese themselves, have suffered heavy losses. In a short period of time, it is simply impossible to counterattack Myanmar. Liu Shiquan shook his head.

"Perhaps, the Japanese themselves are already planning to send more troops to Burma. After all, they still have a lot of troops in the entire South Seas. If they do their best, they can crush us with a single finger! Qin Shou's words are not sensational. The Japanese Southern Army, responsible for the entire Southeast Asia and Pacific battles, commanded quite a few troops.

In December 1941, the total number of Japanese troops reached 2.1 million, and there were about 2,512 first-line aircraft, of which the Southern Army accounted for 20% and 28% respectively. In addition, many of the divisions are drawn from elite regiments in other theaters.

It can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese Southern Army is very strong. The current Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army simply does not have the strength to confront the entire Southern Army of the Japanese army.

Seeing that everyone's faces had changed, Qin Shou couldn't help but smile, and then said, "But don't worry too much, everyone. Although the Japanese Southern Army had a large number of troops, their battle lines were too long and spread throughout Southeast Asia and the Southeast Pacific. There will not be too many troops that can really be put into Burma. Not to mention anything else, as long as all the units of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army now accept military aid from the Americans. At least in Burma, we are perfectly capable of confronting the Japanese army. Even, when we grow stronger, there will be enough to compete with them for the whole of Southeast Asia! ”

"Yes! The regimental commander is right, now we are a little close. However, this is only temporary. By the time we got enough weapons and equipment from the Americans, we would be able to walk sideways throughout Burma. Yu Chengyin, the commander of the 2nd Regiment, responded.

"What goes sideways? It's so ugly, and it's not a crab. Liu Shiquan scolded with a smile.

A burst of laughter eased the solemn atmosphere in the office a lot. Although the enemy is present, the officers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are still very confident in the future.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time the day itself is menacing. However, we are not muddy either. The Japanese army dispatched three divisions, and its strength was indeed above ours. However, we are not without the opportunity to hit them hard.

I had already discussed it with the Chief of Staff before. After the Japanese army was severely damaged in this battle, they withdrew from Myitkyina and went to Morey on the Indo-Burmese border, where they received weapons from American troops. Spend some time reorganizing and resting, and then fight for Burma with the Japanese themselves.

Therefore, we are in Myitkyina, and we will not die on the day of death* myself. ”

Qin Shou laid out the plan and the inventory.

The officers all nodded their heads again and again, and when they chose to resist when their strength was inferior to the Japanese, it was simply self-defeating.

"The Japanese 18th Division from Grape Pingyuan and the 33rd Division from Hugang Valley both arrived three days later. I decided to start with the 33rd Division. First concentrate all your efforts to defeat the Japanese 33rd Division, and it is best to be able to completely annihilate them. Immediately after that, the chief of staff led the newly formed infantry regiments to evacuate Myitkyina and rush to Morey first. I, on the other hand, will lead the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and fight with the remaining two divisions of the Japanese army. If there is an opportunity, after inflicting heavy losses on them, lead the main force to evacuate Myitkyina.

Therefore, when we are fighting the Japanese 33rd Division with all our might, the 18th Division needs to be blocked. Yu Chengyin, Wang Chengdong, the two of you, are you confident that you can resist the attack of the Japanese 18th Division before we solve the 33rd Division? ”

Qin Shou looked at the two of them and asked.

Yu Chengyin and Wang Chengdong both swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty. Let them have these two regiments, more than 9,000 people, to resist a Japanese division regiment. Even for the Armor Division with heavy losses, it was very difficult.

"Commander, don't worry. Even if we risk our lives, we will resist the little devils. Yu Chengyin immediately expressed his position.

Wang Chengdong also immediately expressed his position, they all knew that since Qin Shou had already named them, there was no way for them to back down.

"Don't worry, I won't let you fight hard. You go to a place twenty kilometers north of Myitkyina, and set up defenses on the high mountains and the Irrawaddy River. The frontal line of defense, only one kilometer. With the help of the terrain, it should not be a big problem to resist the 18th Division of the Japanese army. In addition, I will send a battalion of 105mm howitzers from the artillery regiment to reinforce you. ”

"Commander, we promise to complete the mission!" Yu Chengyin and Wang Chengdong both answered immediately.

Although, the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army was strong. However, their two regiments of more than 9,000 people, defending a kilometer-long defensive line, and also receiving artillery reinforcements, should not be a big problem.

"The 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th and artillery regiments are advancing westward with all their might, ready to give the Japanese 33rd Division a head-on attack. This time, we have to take the initiative to launch an attack and deal with the Japanese 33rd Division in the shortest possible time, whether we completely annihilate them or completely defeat them, we will be able to get out of the predicament. As long as the task is completed, we will take the initiative. ”

"Yes, Captain." Several regiment commanders replied.

"Commander, what about our 7th regiment?" Chen Qi, commander of the 7th regiment, asked. Several other regiments have missions, but their regiment has no missions yet.

"The task of the 7th Regiment was to serve as a reserve. Wherever it was, the 7th Regiment had to go up if it was needed. ”

"Yes, Captain." Although as a reserve team, Chen Qi was a little unwilling. However, he did not object either.

"Ladies and gentlemen, time is running out of the city, so let's leave the city tonight. We have no way back, we must win this battle! Qin Shou's face was firm.

"Victory!" The officers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were also convinced that they would win.
