The full strength of a division of the Japanese army was more than 3,800 people, and the full strength of an infantry brigade was more than 1,100 people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 46th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, in the previous battle, suffered a lot of losses, and the entire Wing only had more than 2,600 people left. Reinforced by two infantry brigades, this undoubtedly made their strength suddenly exceed their full strength. Even if these two brigades were strengthened, they were only 80 percent of what they were when they were at full strength.

It's just that Tochigi doesn't see this as a support for him, but as an insult to him. He firmly believed that the 46th Infantry Wing would be able to wipe out the Chinese* army that had inflicted the humiliation on them by relying on its own strength, and that it would not need the help of other units at all. However, since Lieutenant General Mutaguchi said so, he couldn't refuse, so he could only curse Yasuo Mitsuhashi in his heart.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency the division commander, the humble post will definitely annihilate that branch of the army, and use their heads to pay tribute to the soldiers of the imperial army with broken jade!" Tochigi reassured.

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya nodded and didn't say anything more. He also believed that with the reinforcement of the two infantry brigades, Tochigi should be able to accomplish this task easily. Of course, if the task is not completed, then Tochigi Kodaisa will definitely not have the courage to continue living.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tochigi Kodaisa led his troops from the Grape Plain and marched south along the road to pursue the rout of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

At the same time, Japanese intelligence officers in northern Burma began to search for traces of the rout of the Chinese Expeditionary Force. Even, the Japanese army aviation unit also dispatched a lot of reconnaissance planes to investigate the northern Burma region in a dragnet style.

However, the supplementary regiment adopted a day and night march, which allowed the Japanese reconnaissance planes to pounce and unable to catch their whereabouts at all.

In the dense forests of northern Burma, the supplementary regiment continued to advance towards Myitkyina. As the distance from Myitkyina got closer and closer, the atmosphere of the troops became more and more intense.

For the officers and men of the Supplementary Regiment, this was the first battle after the Replenishment Regiment was full. This is a battle that everyone wants to win. On the way from Sunbrabang to Myitkyina, the officers and men of the supplementary regiment basically completed the running-in, and the combat effectiveness of the troops was gradually formed.

Qin Shou has always had a sense of urgency. He knew that after the supplementary regiment developed to its current scale, it could no longer be regarded as a small fight. The Japanese army, soon will notice theirs. At that time, what awaits the replenishment of the regiment will be the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army.

For this reason, Qin Shou did not hesitate to take risks, planning to take Myitkyina in a battle, so that the strength of the supplementary regiment was improved again. In this way, they may have enough strength to deal with future threats. Therefore, they must also win this battle.

On the night of June 4, the replenishment group had reached a distance of less than five kilometers from Myitkyina. Thanks to the fact that the whole of northern Myanmar is still very underdeveloped, and there are dense forests everywhere. It was very easy for the more than 4,000 people of the replenishment group to hide in the dense forest.

"Regiment Commander, Company Commander Zhang is here." The guard Huzi reported to Qin Shou.

"Soon, he'll come to me."

Before the main forces of the replenishment regiment set off, the reconnaissance company set off one step ahead of them. Qin Shou asked Zhang Erniu to take the reconnaissance company to take the first step, so that he could find out the truth in Myitkyina City before they launched an attack.

"Commander, Zhang Erniu reports to you." Zhang Erniu gave a standard military salute.

Before, Zhang Erniu didn't agree with Qin Shou a little. However, as the supplementary group developed better and better under the leadership of Qin Shou, he gradually became completely convinced of Qin Shou.

"Company Commander Zhang, what is the general situation of the Japanese troops in Myitkyina?"

"Commander, the little devil is stationed in Myitkyina, and a brigade is stationed. This brigade belongs to the second brigade of the 55th Wing of the 112th Division of the Japanese Army. Because the 55th Division was a three-unit division, its infantry brigade consisted of just over 800 people. Moreover, this infantry brigade was not fully manned, and in the previous battle of Myitkyina, the brigade suffered considerable losses. Now, there are only about 500 people. ”

"Only more than five hundred?" A hint of joy flashed on Qin Shou's face. If there are only more than 500 people, it will be very easy for the supplementary regiment to take it.

The divisions of the Japanese army were divided into A, B, C, and D, with the first division being the most abundant, with more than 25,000 people. The 55th Division, on the other hand, is a three-unit C division, that is, there is an infantry regiment under the division, which is composed of three wings, and there are also field artillery wings, engineer companies, and baggage companies.

Each battalion of a division of the first type of division can have 1,100 people, while the strength of each infantry brigade of a three-unit division is only more than 800 people.

"Yes, Captain. The little devils are extremely empty, and we can completely deal with them! Zhang Erniu said excitedly.

"Well, is Myitkyina an arsenal?"

"Yes. This is an important supply base for the little devils in northern Myanmar, and the arsenal is much larger than that of Sunbrabong. The good stuff inside, and more. Zhang Erniu's eyes lit up.

"What about the prisoner of war camps?"

"The POW camp was on the eastern side of Myitkyina, surrounded by the Irrawaddy River. There were at least 20,000 or 30,000 prisoners of war held in it. ”

Qin Shou couldn't calm down for a while. There were so many weapons and equipment in Myitkyina, and so many prisoners of war, they had to take them.

"Huzi, call the chief of staff."

"Yes, Captain." Huzi immediately went to call someone.

After Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan arrived, Qin Shou immediately briefed him on the situation.

"Commander, what you didn't say, fight! Myitkyina must be taken. The weapons and equipment and the people in the city are ours. Liu Shiquan immediately expressed his position.

"Well, tonight, at two o'clock in the morning, launch a raid. Attack Myitkyina in one fell swoop. Qin Shou gave the order.

Since there are not many Japanese troops in the city, there is nothing to worry about in the supplementary regiment. With the current strength of the supplementary regiment, Myitkyina can be taken in one fell swoop.

Immediately, Qin Shou summoned the officers above the company level of the supplementary regiment, briefed them on the situation, and made combat deployments at the same time.

"Brothers, the little devils in Myitkyina are very few in number, only about five hundred. We are ten times more than them! This is undoubtedly a godsend for us. This time, we have to take Myitkyina in one fell swoop. Qin Shou's eyes were full of ambition. He knew that after taking Myitkyina, the troops he led would be completely changed.

After digesting the weapons, equipment and people in Myitkyina, the supplementary regiment had the strength to deal with the little devils in Burma.
