Chapter 195: Coming to Donghu Again

In order to eliminate the Japanese army entrenched in southern Burma as soon as possible and at the lowest cost, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army could not allow the Japanese army to shrink its forces and gather together. www.biquge.info In that case, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would be able to continuously destroy the Japanese army with superior forces.

"Don't worry, we're not far from Donghu. After taking Donghu, he immediately went south to Bago and captured Bagu before the Japanese army could complete its assembly. Or around Bago, fight an encirclement to send reinforcements, annihilate the main force of the Japanese army, and lay the foundation for the victory of the Southern Burma Campaign. Qin Shou looked very confident.

Although, the Japanese army has already realized the mistake they have made. However, it was already too late. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has seized the opportunity. If the Japanese army wants to turn the tables again, it is almost useless.

"Yes, Captain." Sun Changwu nodded, agreeing with Qin Shou's point of view.

The build-up of Japanese troops west of the Bago Mountains to Bago took at least ten days or more. And during this time, it was enough for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to do a lot of things. If it goes well, it will be able to deal with the main force of the Japanese army. In that case, even if the Japanese army drew troops from other theaters to rush to the Burma battlefield, it would be too late. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will truly control the whole of Myanmar and become the master here.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not pay attention to the fact that the Japanese army began to shrink the defensive line, and they continued to move south, targeting the attack on Donghu and the Japanese troops stationed there to form the 29th Brigade Regiment.

On the afternoon of October 4, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army arrived on the outskirts of Donghu. Compared to Naypyida, Tooo is just a small town. But, even so, Taungoo is a strategic location. It is located on the west bank of the Sitang River, 320 kilometers north from Mandalay and 250 kilometers south of Yangon. When the expeditionary force entered Burma to fight, it was the place where the 200th Division of the Expeditionary Force and the 55th Division of the Japanese Army fought a bloody battle, and it was also a battle fought by the Expeditionary Force after entering Burma. (Donghu also translated as Tonggu)

Qin Shou and the senior generals of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are no strangers to this place. Of course, at the beginning, they were just a supplementary regiment of the 200th Division, and did not participate in the bloody battle that took place here. After the retreat of the British, the 200th Division was also transferred from here. And the supplementary regiment, naturally, retreated north with the 200th Division.

However, no one may have expected that only a few months later, they would be back here again. And, it's been a different identity. Now, they are on the offensive side, and the day * himself, has become the defensive side.

"Report to the commander, the vanguard of the reconnaissance brigade has taken the Keyonggang airfield." Zhang Erniu reported to Qin Shou.

"Very well, the runway and other facilities, is it complete?" Qin Shou asked.

Keyonggang Airport was one of the many airports built by the British Army in Burma. However, in the course of resisting the Japanese attack, many airfields were destroyed. There are very few airports that can be used today. In the case that the field airfield in Mandalay has not yet been repaired, if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army can obtain an airfield in southern Burma, it will be very beneficial for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to fight in the future.

"Commander, the runway of the airfield was blown up. We are organizing personnel to make emergency repairs. The other facilities are basically complete. Of course, due to the small size of the airfield, I am afraid that it will not be possible to take off heavy bombers. ”

Qin Shou nodded: "Let the sappers repair the airport as soon as possible, and then find a way to expand the airport." In the future, it will become a major airfield for the air fleet. ”

Donghu is very close to Thailand, and if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army wants to march to Thailand in the future, the planes of the air force will be deployed here, which will undoubtedly provide a lot of convenience for the struggle for air supremacy. In addition, Donghu is not far from the coast. If dive bombers and torpedo attack planes can be obtained from the Americans, they will be able to drive out the threat of the Japanese navy and ensure the safety of the coastline. In this way, the American transport ships will be able to directly deliver the military supplies needed by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to Burma.

"Yes, Captain." Zhang Erniu nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.

Subsequently, Qin Shou summoned a cadre of generals and officers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. All officers above the regimental level, arrived.

"Brethren, we have arrived in Taungoo. A few months ago, when we were part of the expeditionary force, our 200th Division also fought here. Moreover, at that time, we withstood the attack of the Japanese 55th Division with inferior forces, inflicting huge casualties on them and achieving our prestige. Qin Shou said to everyone.

Although, now the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is no longer a member of the expeditionary force. Even, because of their rise, the Americans no longer require the Nationalist Army to send an expeditionary force into Burma to fight. Therefore, the mission of the expeditionary force has ended, and it was disbanded in advance by the mountain city side.

However, Qin Shou still admired the achievements of the expeditionary force at the beginning.

At present, many generals and senior officers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army were born in the supplementary regiment of the 200th Division of the Expeditionary Force, and everyone also has a deep feeling for the places where they fought before.

Glancing at everyone, Qin Shou continued: "At the beginning, the British were frightened by the Japanese * himself and ran away in embarrassment. As a result, although the 200th Division of the Expeditionary Force successfully resisted the attack of the Japanese themselves, it had to retreat in the end. But now, everything is different. We called back. Moreover, we are fought back with the posture of conquerors. Neither the Japanese nor anyone else could resist our attack. We will take Donghu and continue our previous victory. Do you have confidence in this? ”

"Yes!" Everyone replied loudly.

"Commander, in Donghu City, there is only one independent mixed brigade of the Japanese army. It will be very easy to solve them. Chen Dehai, commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, looked very relaxed.

Previously, they were in Nay Pyi Taw, and in two days they had solved a division of the Japanese army. Therefore, everyone naturally did not take the Japanese army as an independent mixed brigade in their eyes.

Qin Shou nodded: "From now on." Tomorrow before dark, we will take Donghu. The Japanese troops stationed here are independent and mixed into the 29th Brigade, and they must be completely annihilated, and I believe that everyone will be able to do it. ”

"Yes, Captain." All the generals and officers replied.

Before the official attack on Donghu, according to the old rules, it was still a long time of firepower preparation. The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has fallen in love with the benefits of powerful firepower. Relying on their powerful firepower, they were able to inflict as much damage on the enemy as possible, weakening their strength and creating maximum convenience for the next attack.
