Toho, the headquarters of the 29th Brigade of the Japanese Army, the brigade commander, Major General Nobuo Tanaka, was furious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The 22nd Division of the Japanese Army stationed in Naypyidol was wiped out within two days, which greatly shocked the 29th Brigade Regiment that was independently mixed. It can even be said that the entire brigade was scared to pee. Brigade commander Major General Tanaka Nobuo and brigade chief of staff Wasazo Osaku discussed whether or not to evacuate Dongoo.

After all, Donghu is only a hundred kilometers away from Naypyidaw, which is too close. Once the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army come to Donghu, I am afraid that their brigade will not be able to hold out for even a day.

The 29th Brigade is mixed independently, which can be regarded as a strong force. It has 5 infantry brigades, each of which has 4 infantry squadrons and a machine gun squadron, for more than 1,100 people. In addition, there is also a brigade artillery team, under the jurisdiction of two mountain artillery squadrons and one field artillery squadron, equipped with a total of 12 Type 94 75-mm mountain guns and 6 Type 95 75-mm field guns. The entire brigade has more than 7,000 people.

If such a force and combat effectiveness were placed on the battlefield in China, there would be no problem in defeating a division of the Nationalist Army or even some miscellaneous armies. However, on the battlefield in Burma, in the face of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they were only trembling with fear.

Lieutenant General Masafumi Yamauchi's telegram demanded that the 29th Brigade be formed to hold Donghu on its own and hold out here for more than three days. This undoubtedly killed Major General Nobuo Tanaka.

"Chief of Staff, Your Excellency Commander clearly wants us to form the 29th Brigade and send us to death! The combat effectiveness of the people of China is too strong. The 22nd Division lasted for two days, and it had already ended up in pieces. If we stick to Donghu, the fate of the 22nd Division will undoubtedly be a lesson for us! Major General Nobuo Tanaka smiled bitterly.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has proved how strong its combat effectiveness is with victory after victory. A unit like the 29th Brigade that is independent and mixed is simply a garbage existence in front of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

If Major General Nobuo Tanaka would never have thought that an army composed of Chinese would be able to defeat them, then now the reality is already in front of their eyes. Not only can the Chinese army defeat them, but they can easily slaughter them. The number of Japanese troops buried in the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army has risen to about 150,000. Moreover, as the war continues, it is estimated that more and more Japanese soldiers will die at the hands of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Your Excellency Brigade Commander, Your Excellency the Commander has already given the order, do we still have room for bargaining?" Watara is also very helpless. Although, as a Japanese soldier, it is natural to dedicate oneself to the country. However, not every Japanese person can truly see death as if they were at home. They also want to live.

"Yaga!" Major General Nobuo Tanaka couldn't help but scold. The so-called officials and senior officials crush people to death, especially in a place with a strict hierarchy like the Japanese Army. Lieutenant General Masafumi Yamauchi asked Major General Nobuo Tanaka and Dokryo to form the 29th Brigade and defend Toyo, and they had no choice but to do so. If he dares to disobey, what awaits him will be a dead end.

Even if it turns out in the end, Lieutenant General Yamauchi's decision is wrong. Major General Nobuo Tanaka will not end well. The best result is that he apologizes for his seppuku.

As soon as he thought of this, Major General Nobuo Tanaka was very helpless. Before, when I was in the 18th Front, I didn't think so. Now that he has been placed under the Burmese Front, he feels very unlucky.

"Order the ministries to strengthen the fortifications as much as possible. I hope that Amaterasu will bless us and be able to hold out in Toho for more than three days. In that case, even if we break through and retreat, Your Excellency Commander will not do anything to us. Major General Nobuo Tanaka said.

Although, Lieutenant General Yamauchi asked them to hold out for three to five days. But as long as they hold out for three days, if they retreat, there won't be too much trouble.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander." Watara approached Dazuo and said hurriedly.

It's just that neither Major General Nobuo Tanaka nor Kinsa Watana's Osaku think that holding out for three days is an easy task. Under the onslaught of the powerful Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, this was very difficult.

In addition, even if it lasts for three days. It will not be so easy to retreat from Donghu. Donghu is 150 kilometers away from Bago. The armored units of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army are not vegetarians. When the 22nd Division evacuated Nay Pyi Do, it was completely annihilated by the armored units of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. This is very likely to be a lesson for the Japanese army to form the 29th Brigade on its own!

Faced with the arduous task of holding on to Donghu, the Japanese army was independently mixed into the 29th Brigade and could only try their best to strengthen their positions so that they could hold out for a longer time under the onslaught of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. But can they really achieve their purpose? This is undoubtedly very difficult.

At this time, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was on its way south from Nay Pyi Duo to Donghu. They completely annihilated the Japanese 22nd Division in Nay Pyi Do, and it was very easy to fight. Whether it was the heavy damage to the Japanese 22nd Division with powerful firepower, or the street fighting that followed, and the attack of the last armored troops. All made the losses of the troops very small.

After taking Nay Pyi Do, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not rest and went south.

"Commander, the latest information." A staff officer reported to relatives. Then he sent a telegram to Qin Shou's hand.

After reading the telegram, Qin Shou couldn't help laughing: "It seems that we destroyed the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army with a thunderous force, and the rest of the Japanese * themselves were frightened." They actually began to shrink their forces. ”

"Commander, if we do this, it will be very difficult for us to destroy them with the minimum casualties." Sun Changwu and the others were a little worried.

In any case, the Japanese army still had tens of thousands of people in their hands. If we add the reinforcements that will come soon, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will not have the slightest advantage in terms of strength.

Although, Lieutenant General Stilwell has already contacted the Yamashiro government, hoping that they will provide troops to the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. But at present, the mountain city side has not relented. Even if a breakthrough is made in this regard, the problem of the soldiers of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army still exists in a short period of time. Therefore, in the battle to take southern Burma and eliminate the last units of the Japanese army in Burma, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army still had to find ways to reduce losses as much as possible.

What's more, these are veterans who have fought many battles with the Japanese army, and each of them is a fortune! In the future, if the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is expanded again, these veterans will be the backbone and treasures! (To be continued.) )
