The southern part of Myanmar, with its many plains, is also the richest place in Myanmar. Pen? Interesting?

Among them, the Chinese living in northern Myanmar are mainly ethnic minorities in southwest China. The Chinese living in southern Myanmar are the Chinese and their descendants who came to Nanyang from Guangdong and Fujian to survive.

The Japanese Burma Front was completely annihilated by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, which was an extremely heavy blow to Japan's rule in Burma. When the Japanese invaded Burma and the British and expeditionary forces were defeated, there was no one to resist them. The natives of Myanmar also expressed their submission. However, in the extreme time, everything changed. The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army has conquered all of Burma except southern Burma.

Yangon, the capital of Myanmar, is also the largest city in Myanmar. Lieutenant General Masafumi Yamauchi, commander of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, placed his headquarters here. Now, he is not only the division commander of the 15th Division, but also the acting commander of the Burmese Front.

Although, the Burmese Front was completely annihilated. However, it is clear that the day * himself will not admit this. The commander of the Southern Army, General Terauchi Shouichi, ordered the reorganization of the Burma Front, which consisted of the 15th Division, the 22nd Division, the 46th Division, the 26th Brigade and the 29th Brigade.

Of course, three divisions and two independent mixed brigades are too weak. General Terauchi Shouichi also knew, so after receiving the order from the base camp to destroy the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army at all costs, General Terauchi Shouichi once again transferred troops from other units of the Southern Army to reinforce the Burma battlefield. For example, the 7th Front Army was transferred from the 37th Brigade and the 70th Brigade and the 35th and 36th Divisions and the 57th Brigade and the 128th Brigade from the 2nd Army.

After the formation of the 2nd Army, it was originally intended to be put into the northern battlefield of Australia. However, now that the war situation in Burma is rotten, the plan to expedition to Australia can only be temporarily put on hold. General Terauchi Shouichi must first find a way to solve the anti-Japanese salvation army. Two divisions and four independent divisions were mixed, with more than 60,000 men. After arriving in southern Burma, the strength of the Burmese Front can once again surpass the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

However, the two independent mixed brigades of the 7th Front were able to reach the southern battlefield in Burma in a short time. It will take some time to transfer two divisions and two independent mixed brigades from the 2nd Army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the people of China have descended south from Mandalay. In a few days, we will enter southern Myanmar. This will be a great threat to us. The prefect of the temple issued a strict order that we must find a way to defeat the people of China and destroy them. The base camp was already very dissatisfied with the defeat of the Burmese Front before. Lieutenant General Masamumi Yamauchi said, looking at several division commanders and brigade commanders.

"The combat effectiveness of the people of China should not be underestimated. We can't look at them the same way we used to. Otherwise, Aoki-kun's fiasco will be a lesson for us. Lieutenant General Miharu Ojodo, commander of the 22nd Division, said.

The generals present all nodded their heads again and again, and they were all entering the battlefield in Myanmar for the first time. Before, none of them thought that a force composed of the rout of the expeditionary force and the children of the Chinese in northern Burma would be so strong in combat effectiveness that the imperial army of the Great Ri*Ben Empire, which had won a hundred battles, was planted one after another, with more than 100,000 people killed and more than a dozen generals killed.

If they dare to despise the enemy again, then they are really looking for death.

"However, you don't have to be too afraid of the people. The chief of the temple has already sent reinforcements for us. The 37th Brigade and the 70th Brigade, which were drawn from the 7th Front, will be able to arrive in a few days. The 35th Division, the 36th Division, which were drawn from the 2nd Army, and the 57th and 128th Brigades, which were independently mixed, will also arrive soon. When the time comes, we will be greatly strengthened. On the battlefield in Burma, the Chinese will be completely defeated. Lieutenant General Masafumi Yamauchi said.

By the time reinforcements arrived, they would have five divisions and six independent mixed brigades. Compared to the strength of the Burmese Front in its heyday, it is only a lot more. In this way, they will have enough troops to deal with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Chief of Staff, inform you of our tactics this time." Lieutenant General Masafumi Yamauchi said.

The chief of staff of the reorganized Burma Front is still Major General Taro Nakanaga.

"Gentlemen, the people of China are powerful. If we want to defeat them, we must first consume their living power. After that, launch a counterattack and support that person in one fell swoop. Major General Taro Nakanaga said.

Then he walked to the map hanging on the wall, pointed to it, and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the terrain of southern Burma can be described as three mountain ranges sandwiched between two narrow plains. From east to west are the Tayanitaeong, Bago and Rakhine mountain ranges. If the Chinese wanted to attack south, they would have to take these two plains. We can fortify and resist everywhere in these two plains, and consume the living strength of the people of China. By the time they reached the outskirts of Yangon, they must have suffered heavy losses. By then, our reinforcements had arrived. When the time comes, the reinforcements who are waiting for work to launch an attack will inevitably defeat them in one fell swoop and destroy them. ”

Subsequently, Major General Taro Nakanaga began to distribute troops, the 15th Division, the 22nd Division and the 29th Independent Mixed Division, stationed on the front line of Naypyidado, Donghu, Biaoguan, and Bago, and the 46th Division and the 26th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, which were stationed on the front line of Beimu and Xingshida.

The Japanese army wanted to deplete the vital strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army by resisting and fortifying everywhere, and then launch an attack with superior forces to defeat them in one fell swoop after exhausting the strength of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

It's just that the idea of the Japanese army is good. However, it is difficult to say whether it will be achieved or not. As the so-called ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny.

The Japanese army was fortified everywhere, which inevitably caused their forces to be dispersed. It created an opportunity for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to destroy the Japanese army with an absolute superiority in troops. If it is said that the three divisions of the Japanese army and the two independent mixed brigades and regiments fought together, they did not necessarily lack the strength to fight a decisive battle with the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

After all, the troops of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army going south only had three infantry divisions, plus heavy artillery brigades, armored brigades and other troops. In terms of troops, it is not superior. Now the Japanese army pretends to be smart, but on the contrary, they are completely at a disadvantage. (To be continued.) )
