The Japanese Burma Front had only six divisions and three independent mixed brigades. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In order to make the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army ruthlessly plant a heel in Dong Sari Lake, they mobilized the strength of four divisions and three independent mixed brigades. You know, this already accounts for about 70 percent of the entire Burmese front.

Originally, Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro thought that they would have a very good chance of winning in this battle. Even if it can't eat a detachment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, at least it can get out of the way. For the next defense, it will not have much impact.

But now, the final result gave him a hard slap. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was so difficult to bite that even if it was caught in a heavy encirclement, it also broke out with extremely strong combat effectiveness. The Japanese army had more than twice the superiority in strength, and still used the night to launch a siege, but they were not able to wipe out the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, but made themselves pay extremely heavy losses.

This made Lieutenant General Kimura Hyotaro feel deep despair in his heart. Under such circumstances, none of them were able to eliminate the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. So, is there any hope of winning this battle?

In order to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they voluntarily gave up the entire northern part of the Indochina colony and gathered all their forces. It can be said that they are already desperate.

"Order all units to speed up their retreat and withdraw as many troops as possible. For the defense of the Mekong, it is also necessary to have enough troops. Lieutenant General Yotaro Kimura ordered with a dark face.

If they did not have enough troops to defend the Mekong, it would be difficult for them to withstand the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

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

The battle is like this, and it is a blow to the entire Burmese front. Almost everyone knows that the next battle may be even more difficult.

"Send a telegram to the Lion City, tell them about our predicament, and ask Your Excellency Commander, to send reinforcements as soon as possible." Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura said. Now, they can only hope for reinforcements. If reinforcements do not arrive in time, the Burmese Front may be in even greater trouble.

Major General Shinichi Tanaka nodded: "Your Excellency, Commander, if we can hold the Mekong River, reinforcements will definitely arrive in time." At that time, we will still have enough troops to confront the Chinese people. Even defeating the Shina people in one fell swoop is not impossible. ”

"Well, let Yanagida-kun and Tanaka-kun come to see me immediately." Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura ordered.

The two men he mentioned were Lieutenant General Yanagida Motozo, commander of the 33rd Division, and Lieutenant General Nobuo Tanaka, commander of the 49th Division.

In the face of the war, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura could only put his hope on holding the Mekong defensive line. Because it is not yet certain how much the troops at the front will be able to withdraw. Therefore, Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura could only ask the 33rd Division and the 49th Division to build as many and stronger fortifications as possible.

Lieutenant General Yanagida Motozo and Lieutenant General Nobuo Tanaka were also shocked when they learned of the battle situation at the front. They couldn't help but feel a little glad that they weren't sent to the Cave Sari Lake battlefield. Otherwise, their two divisions are estimated to have suffered heavy losses.

Lieutenant General Hyotaro Kimura asked Lieutenant General Yanagida Motozo and Lieutenant General Nobuo Tanaka to do everything possible to strengthen the fortifications on the east bank of the Mekong River. Lieutenant General Yanagida Motozo and Lieutenant General Tanaka Nobuo had to nod their heads again and again. However, whether it can be done or not, it is not known. After all, they now lack not only manpower, but also building materials. In terms of manpower, it is also possible to recruit those natives, but in terms of building materials, only the rich wooden village of Nanyang can be replaced. But it is not deniable that the civil fortifications could hardly survive the heavy artillery bombardment of the enemy.

On the north and south banks of Lake Dongsari, the pursuit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army continued. Especially on the south bank of Lake Tung Sari, the pursuit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was extremely fierce. The speed advantage of the armored forces was brought into play, and it was easy to catch up with the fleeing Japanese troops. In addition, the air force in the sky continued to bomb and strafe the Japanese army, which greatly affected the retreat speed of the Japanese army. In order to cover the escape of the main force, the Japanese had to keep leaving the troops behind. Basically, these troops who stayed behind did not end well.

"For the sake of the Great Day * Empire, I fought with the people of China." The commander of the 55th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, Fujii Kogoro Osa, shouted loudly.

His wing now has only more than 1,800 people left. And there are many people with injuries. In order to cover the retreat of the main forces, Lieutenant General Nakanaga Taro asked them to stay behind and break the rear.

Fujii Kogoro Osa, knowing that this is certain death. But the task was accepted.

I have to admit that the Japanese army's will to fight is very tenacious. This point can be at the forefront of the line all over the world. Even the current war is very bad for them. But they will not be discouraged and will choose to continue fighting. Even if they all die on the battlefield, they will not hesitate.

"Boom!"

The attack was carried out by the 2nd Armored Brigade, the 19th Infantry Regiment and the 22nd Infantry Regiment of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. They were besieged by the day himself for a night and paid no small price. All the officers and men were holding back the fire in their hearts. Now, it's finally their turn to attack, and of course they'll take advantage of it.

The engines of tanks and armored vehicles began to roar and rush to the front. Densely packed infantry, followed by tanks and armored vehicles.

The Japanese army, lacking anti-tank weapons, despite desperately firing with machine guns and rifles, did not pose any threat to the tanks and armored vehicles at the front.

"Da Da Da!"

A Japanese Type 92 heavy machine gun, firing frantically. In the blink of an eye, thirty rounds of ammunition were used out of a bullet protection plate. However, the bullets had no effect at all other than hitting an M3 light tank.

Desperate Japanese troops, organized suicide attacks. The Japanese, who were carrying explosives bags and cluster grenades, frantically rushed to the tanks and armored vehicles of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. However, what awaited them was the intensive firepower of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, which smashed all these guys into a sieve.

Subsequently, the tanks and armored vehicles of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army broke into the positions of the Japanese army and crushed the Japanese army directly into pieces with tracks. The infantrymen who followed behind the tanks were also able to rush into the Japanese positions and, with the support of tanks and armored vehicles, wiped out all the Japanese troops.
