Chapter 212: The Last Battle
"Your Excellency, our forces in the Malay Peninsula are also running out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info The 16th, 25th and 29th armies remained. Among them, the 37th Brigade and the 70th Brigade, which originally belonged to the 29th Army, are still in Yangon. Tsukada will continue.
General Terauchi's face suddenly became very ugly. The 16th Army, under the jurisdiction of the 48th Division, is an independent mixed 27th Brigade and 28th Brigade, and the 4th Railway Transport Command. The 25th Army is under the jurisdiction of the 2nd Guards Division and the 25th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade. The 29th Army, under the jurisdiction of the 94th Division, is independently mixed into the 35th Division and the 36th Division.
This also means that unconsciously, after the Japanese army lost more than 200,000 troops in Burma, there were only 4 divisions and 5 independent mixed brigades left, with a total of only more than 100,000 people. Even, in terms of troops, it is already inferior to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. If the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army launched an attack on Thailand and the Malay Peninsula, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Yaga! Damn the Shina people. Unconsciously, has the situation in the entire South Seas become like this? No, we have to find a way to replenish our troops. "General Shouichi Terauchi sensed the seriousness of the matter.
Their forces in Thailand and the Malay Peninsula were too weak, and if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army launched an attack, the consequences would be unimaginable. Even, there will be a chain reaction, causing the collapse of the entire South Sea war situation.
"Your Excellency, Commander, I'm afraid that there are not many troops in other theaters in the South Seas. The Americans are in the Pacific Ocean, and they are also pressing on step by step, and the situation is very tense. Lieutenant General Tsukada reminded.
After the Battle of Midway, after the crushing defeat of the Japanese navy, they gradually lost the initiative. The Americans, on the other hand, began to brew a large-scale counteroffensive in the Pacific, which posed a great threat to the Japanese Southern Army. Once the U.S. Army and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army attack from the east and west, the defense line of the Southern Army is very likely to collapse because of this. In that case, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Tsukada-kun, I plan to return to the base camp in the near future, hoping to persuade the base camp to increase the Southern Army. No matter how bad it is, the troops that we have eliminated must be rebuilt. Only in this way will we have enough forces to confront the enemy. General Shouichi Terauchi said.
Although, in Japan and the Kwantung Army in northeast China, there are still quite a few troops. If they can draw some troops from those elite troops to the south to reinforce the southern army, they can quickly get out of their current predicament. But General Terauchi knew that it would be very difficult to convince those people in the country. Therefore, he prepared two plans, one plan was to transfer elite troops from the mainland and the Kwantung Army to the south to reinforce the Southern Army. Another plan is to transfer reserves and rebuild those Japanese divisions and regiments that have been wiped out by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, as well as independent mixed brigades, so that the strength of the Southern Army can be restored in the shortest possible time.
"Your Excellency, this is indeed a good idea." Lieutenant General Tsukada nodded. If the strength of the Southern Army can be further strengthened, they may be able to defend themselves against the threat of the enemy. Otherwise, they will always be in trouble.
"Tsukada-kun, after I leave, the situation in Nanyang will be free from you." General Terauchi Shouichi bowed to Lieutenant General Tsukada.
"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander. Please rest assured that I will definitely maintain the situation in Nanyang. Lieutenant General Tsukada assured.
General Terauchi Shouichi nodded, he was still more relieved about Lieutenant General Tsukada.
While General Terauchi was preparing to return to China to move troops for the sake of the bad situation in Nanyang, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was marching towards Rangoon.
The news that the air force had killed two divisions and two independent mixed brigades of the Japanese army was already known to everyone, and this immediately made all the officers and men of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army very happy. More than 50,000 Japanese troops were killed by the anti-Japanese salvation army air force. This undoubtedly means that they will not encounter many Japanese troops in the battle of Rangoon. And the casualties, naturally, will be much smaller.
Although, everyone is a veteran of a hundred battles. Know that war inevitably comes with casualties. However, even the most fearless army wants to survive the war.
On the morning of October 15, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army arrived at the foot of Yangon. The Japanese army in the city was alone and mixed into the 37th Division and the 70th Division, as if facing a great enemy. They knew that if nothing else, they would not be able to resist the sharp attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
"Brethren, half a year ago, we traveled all the way south from northern Burma. In the beginning, we only had more than a thousand people, and we were in danger of being wiped out by the Japanese themselves at any time. But now we have grown to more than 100,000 brethren and exterminated more than 200,000 days* myself. Now we have developed into the leading strong army in Nanyang.
In front of us, Yangon is the last city in Burma. After the defeat of Yangon, the whole of Myanmar will belong to us. The brothers of the air force, after killing more than 50,000 days* himself, in the entire city of Yangon, only more than 10,000 days* himself remained. Although, I know that the brothers are very tired. However, I believe that we can still win this battle and take Yangon! Qin Shou said to everyone at the meeting of all military officers above the battalion level.
All the officers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were full of confidence on their faces. Everyone is undoubtedly very confident in taking Yangon and driving Japan himself out of Burma.
"After laying down Myanmar, the land of Myanmar belongs to us. I will get the Americans to contact the government so that all the families of the brothers can come to Burma. The fertile land of Myanmar was divided into twenty acres for each soldier. In order to further arouse everyone's confidence, Qin Shou directly began to distribute land in Myanmar.
The Chinese undoubtedly have a deep attachment to the land. In particular, many of the ordinary soldiers came from the countryside. If they can own their own land and bring their families over, then they will be more at ease to fight the sun himself, and they will be more loyal to Qin Shou.
Sure enough, after hearing Qin Shou's words, these officers all smiled. Qin Shou is so good to ordinary soldiers, so wouldn't they, the officers, get more preferential treatment?
"Brethren, this afternoon, the attack on Rangoon began. Before sunset tomorrow, I want to kill all the sun* myself, do you have confidence in this? Qin Shou asked loudly.
"Yes! We will win! Kill the light day* himself! Suddenly the shouts were like thunder. (To be continued.) )
