In Xidang, the main force of the Japanese army was vigilantly guarding the position of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, for fear that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army would suddenly launch an attack on them. Although they still have more than 30,000 people, although they still have more than 30,000 people, if the armored units of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army attack again, they will obviously not be able to resist it.www.biquge.info

Fortunately, a morning passed, and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not attack, which made the Japanese army breathe a sigh of relief.

"Your Excellency, it seems that the people of China do not intend to attack on their own initiative. In this case, if the 54th Division and the 105th Brigade can arrive in time, we will still have a chance. Major General Takery Isomura had a smile on his face.

Although, yesterday's losses were significant. However, they have not completely lost hope. As long as the plan succeeds, it will still be able to reverse the situation and win.

"Well, it was definitely a fatal mistake for the Shina to give up attacking us. If they had continued to attack and crushed us last night, there would have been absolutely no problem. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki also regained a little confidence.

This time, he can be regarded as betting all the main forces of the Burmese Front in the future battle. If he can win, even if he suffers heavy losses, he will be able to continue to lead his troops to fight. If he fails, then he is probably doomed.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. Stupid Shina people, tomorrow will pay for their actions. They will watch as their low-hanging fruit victory is thrown away and becomes a defeat. Major General Takeliang Isomura hurriedly echoed.

The two sang and harmonized like this, as if they had really decided to resist the Japanese Salvation Army.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Excellency Chief of Staff, 18th Division Urgent Telegram." Senior Staff Officer of the Myanmar Front Katakura Shodaisa reported.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki took the telegram and read it. However, soon his face turned iron-blue.

"Yaga! How so? Mutian-kun, that guy, how did he get like this? Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki roared angrily.

This telegram was sent by Lieutenant General Taketaguchi Ryoya. In the telegram, he claimed that the 18th Division and the 24th Brigade had been completely defeated by the 1st Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, and was now about to be surrounded and annihilated. They were no longer able to complete the task of holding back the 1st Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

Major General Takeliang Isomura hurriedly took the telegram and read it. When he finished reading the telegram, his whole face also became very ugly.

Just now they were still fantasizing that their battle plan would succeed and defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in one fell swoop. However, before the plan has started, I am afraid that it will have to be aborted. After the 1st Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army eliminated the 18th Division of the Japanese Army and the 24th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, it would definitely rush to Xidang. When the time comes, they will face an even more powerful anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Your Excellency, what shall we do now? If the 1st Infantry Division of the Chinese arrived, we would not be able to defeat them. Major General Takeliang Isomura said with some concern.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki naturally knows this. But what can he do next? Is it to abandon the battle plan and retreat immediately? In that case, even if it can be successfully withdrawn, I am afraid that the Burmese Front, which has suffered heavy losses, will no longer be able to confront the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. When the time comes, he, the commander of the Burmese Front, may be able to do it.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki couldn't make up his mind, but soon the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army helped them make up their minds.

In less than half an hour, a telegram from the 56th Division of the Japanese Army and the 72nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade also came. Major General Ohara Jinyu reported that the 56th Division of the Japanese Army and the 72nd Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade were defeated by the 2nd Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. The entire force, with just over two thousand men left, was retreating to the south.

And this undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese army again. If the 18th Division and the 24th Brigade were surrounded and annihilated, their situation was even more difficult. Then, the 56th Division and the 72nd Brigade were completely annihilated, which made it impossible for them to hold on. In this battle, they don't see the slightest chance of winning at all.

"Yaga!" Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki couldn't help but scold.

Major General Takery Isomura also closed his mouth and said nothing. He knew that there was nothing left to say now. Because, there is only one choice for them.

"Let Sato-kun, Takehara-kun, and Baba-kun come and see me. In addition, let them know the news of Muta-kun and Watanabe-kun's fiasco. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Takery Isomura nodded.

In less than ten minutes, Lieutenant General Satoku Sato, Lieutenant General Saburo Takehara and Lieutenant General Masaro Baba arrived at the headquarters, but their faces were also very ugly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the current situation is very clear to everyone. Next, what do we do? Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki looked at the division commanders.

"Your Excellency, the Commander, the people of China are too strong, and they are already much stronger than what we have left now. If we continue to fight, I'm afraid we will follow in the footsteps of Muta-kun and Watanabe-kun. So, I think, we're going to have to retreat. Lieutenant General Masaro Baba was the first to speak.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander. We have to preserve our strength. If our three divisions can be withdrawn, plus the 54th Division and the 105th Brigade Regiment, there will be more than 50,000 people. You can also continue to fight the Chinese on the battlefield in Burma. Even with the support of the Southern Army, he tried to find a way to defeat the Chinese people. Saburo Takehara also suggested.

Lieutenant General Kotoku Sato, although he did not say anything, was clearly also in favor of the retreat.

Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki sighed, he knew that he had to retreat now.

"Since everyone has decided to retreat, let's retreat. However, even if you want to retreat, you will have to wait until the evening. Avoid attracting the attention of the people of China and being pursued by them. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki said.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Several generals nodded their heads one after another.

"Also, inform Akiyama-kun that there is no need to rush to Xidang. After letting them sleep into the night, retreat directly to Gamblu, where we rendezvous. Then return to Mandalay. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Commander." Major General Takery Isomura nodded.

Subsequently, several generals left. Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki began to think about how to report his fiasco to the commander of the Southern Army, General Terauchi Shouichi.

It wasn't until after dark that Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki finished drafting a draft of the telegram and sent it out.

At the same time, the main forces of the Japanese army also began to retreat in an orderly manner and fled from the battlefield. (To be continued.) )
