Chapter 515: Dilemma

"Your Excellency, the current situation is very unfavorable for us. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the people of the branch were divided into three ways to assault our defensive line. The 33rd Division, the 49th Division, the 54th Division, and the 105th Brigade were all under heavy losses under the attack of the Chinese people. Now, the Chinese have full control of the sandbar in the Mekong. The next step, I am afraid, is to launch an offensive against our defensive line on the east bank of the Mekong. Major General Shinichi Tanaka reported to Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura with a nervous expression.

"Yaga! The firepower of the people of China is too strong. Against them, we don't have the slightest advantage! Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura was also a little frustrated. He has always considered himself to be the elite of the Japanese army. Compared with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which is like an upstart, it is even slightly insufficient. But the gap shouldn't be too big. But now it seems that the difference in strength between the two sides is simply a world of difference!

"Your Excellency, the sappers of the Chinese are building a pontoon bridge over the Mekong. Predictably, they were preparing to attack us. Major General Shinichi Tanaka reminded.

Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura nodded, this is indeed a very troublesome question.

"What happened to our artillery losses? If the pontoon bridge built by the Chinese was shelled, would it have an effect? Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura asked. He knew that if he wanted to hold the defensive line, he had to prevent the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army from deploying more troops and weapons and equipment on the sandbank. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Your Excellency Commander, we have very little artillery left. The planes and artillery of the other people were on standby. If our artillery launches an artillery attack, I am afraid that it will be suppressed by the Chinese people at the first time. I am afraid that the role it can play will be very limited. Major General Shinichi Tanaka said.

"Yaga! This doesn't work, that doesn't work, so what are we going to do? to be able to resist the attack of the Chinese people? Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura roared angrily.

Major General Shinichi Tanaka lowered his head and said nothing. As chief of staff of the Burmese Front, he certainly knows how bad the situation is for them. If not, the Burmese Front will soon be consumed in this battle. Before reinforcements arrived, they themselves would lose first.

"Tanaka-kun, order all the troops on the front line to fight to the death. Even if it is all jade shattered, it is absolutely impossible to take a step back. Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura ordered. Now he can only hope that the front-line troops can hold the line to the death. In this case, a miracle may happen.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Shinichi Tanaka nodded.

"Also, send a telegram to the Southern Army Command, telling them that we are about to run out of hold and ask for reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible." Kimura Hyotaro said with some decadence. Now he feels very ashamed. In the face of the tasks assigned by the commander of the Southern Army, General Shunroku Hatata, they could not be completed. This made him unable to look up in front of his colleagues at all!

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander."

After Major General Shinichi Tanaka left, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura fell into deep thought. Faced with the current predicament, there is really nothing he can do. The only thing that can be done is probably to pray to Amaterasu and pray that the Japanese soldiers on the front line will be brave and resist the arrival of reinforcements. In this way, his task is thus accomplished. Even if you are punished for it, it is worth it.

If the Burmese Front insists on not receiving reinforcements, he, as the commander, may not escape death in the end. The character of the day * himself is too vicious and too paranoid. Not only is he vicious to others, but he is also very vicious to his own people. Those generals who lost the battle, each of them had a good end, and at least retired from active duty, or directly asked for seppuku to apologize.

The current Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro seems to have anticipated his end. Once their defensive line could not withstand the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. I'm afraid he will also have a seppuku end.

Lion City, Southern Army Headquarters. General Shunroku Hata was also watching the battle of Indochina. The core area of the war between the two sides has become the Mekong River. With the Burmese Front already suffering heavy losses, General Shunroku Hata no longer had any confidence in the Burmese Front's defeat of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. His only hope was that the Burmese Front would hold out until the Nanyang Task Force arrived. In this case, the situation in the Indochina colony may still be saved. However, he soon knew that this little hope of his was a complete extravagant hope.

"Your Excellency, Commander, a telegram from the Burmese Front." The Chief of Staff of the Southern Army, Lieutenant General Shimizu Norri, handed a telegram to General Shunroku Hata.

When General Shunroku Hata took the telegram and looked at it, his face immediately became gloomy as if he was at the bottom of a pot.

"Yaga! How so? Is the Burmese Front really so vulnerable? General Shun Hata said angrily.

"Your Excellency, Commander, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the people of China is much stronger than we expected! This time, the Burmese front is afraid that there will be trouble. Lieutenant General Shimizu said.

The face of the sixth general of Shunliu Hata suddenly became even darker.

Originally, the Burmese Front had suffered heavy losses in the battle south of Lake Tonsari, which made him very annoyed. However, the wood is already in the boat, and even if you are angry, there is no way to do it. Therefore, an order was issued to the Burmese front, asking them to hold the Mekong defense line until reinforcements arrived. However, it only takes them to hold out for a week, but the Burmese front doesn't seem to be able to do it!

"The people of China are not about to develop into a big trouble for the Great Ri * Empire, but have become a big trouble for the Great Nichi * Empire." General Shunroku Hata said.

Lieutenant General Shimizu nodded and agreed with this statement of the sixth general of Shun Hata.

"Send a telegram to Kimura-kun, telling him that he must hold the Mekong defense line no matter what, and he must not allow the Shina people to break through the Mekong defense line. Otherwise, he should know what the consequences will be. A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the eyes of the sixth general of Shun Hata.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Lieutenant General Shimizu nodded. He knew that if there was no accident, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura would be dead this time.

"So, do you need a telegram from the Nanyang Task Force?" Lieutenant General Shimizu asked.

"Send it! Pleading with them to speed up and reach the Indochina colony as soon as possible. Otherwise, the consequences will be severe. General Shunroku Hata sighed.
