The decisive battle between the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and the Japanese Burma Front came to an end on the banks of the Mu River. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Japanese Burma Front was completely wiped out by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Of the more than 110,000 people in the entire front army, except for two or three thousand who fled, the rest were wiped out by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
In this battle, many generals of the Japanese army, except for Major General Ohara Jinyou, the commander of the 72nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, were all killed. Counting carefully, there are already twelve Japanese generals who died in the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on the battlefield in Burma, including the commander of the 33rd Division, Lieutenant General Sakurai Province, the commander of the 55th Division, Lieutenant General Takeuchi Hiroshi, the commander of the 18th Division, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya, the commander of the 24th Independent Mixed Brigade, Major General Jiro Ichita, the commander of the 56th Division, Major General Masao Watanabe, the deputy chief of staff of the Burma Front, Major General Isomura Takeryo, the commander of the 31st Division, Lieutenant General Satoku, and the commander of the 49th Division, Lieutenant General Saburo Takehara, Lieutenant General Masahiro Baba, commander of the 53rd Division, Lieutenant General Yoshitoi Akiyama, commander of the 54th Division, Major General Hideji Matsui, commander of the 105th Brigade of the Independent Mixed Brigade, and Lieutenant General Shigesei Aoki, commander of the Burmese Front.
It can be said that the Japanese army has never lost so many generals in other battlefields. However, on the battlefield in Burma, so many generals were killed in just a few months.
The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army also became the nemesis of these Japanese generals. Qin Shou, the commander of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, was known as the slaughterer of the Japanese generals.
Of course, this is a later title. In the next battle, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will also slaughter more Japanese generals and eliminate more Japanese troops.
After eliminating the Burmese Front, Qin Shou led the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army south to Mandalay, preparing to conquer this large city in central Burma. It was also the headquarters of the Burmese Front of the Japanese Army. The remaining personnel of the headquarters, led by the Burmese chief of staff, Major General Nakanaga Taro, are still here.
In addition, Qin Shou also ordered the 4th Infantry Division to go north to capture those territories in northern Burma. Qin Shou not only had to defeat the Japanese army, but also occupied Burma. Therefore, after the elimination of the Japanese army, those Burmese territories, of course, must be occupied. If they don't occupy it, it will be left to the British. The British were beaten by the Japanese themselves, and after fleeing back to India, they have never forgotten Burma.
Although, the Japanese army still has three divisions and two independent mixed brigades in southern Burma. However, Qin Shou believed that three infantry divisions plus several brigades of directly subordinate troops were enough to defeat those Japanese troops.
"Lao Xu, this time the 4th Infantry Division is going north, and it must occupy the entire territory of northern Burma. Those attrition of the 4th Infantry Division, I will figure it out. Of course, it would be best if more Chinese children could be recruited to join the army. After we go south to defeat the Japanese themselves, we will also recruit troops in southern Burma and expand our troops. Qin Shou admonished before the 4th Infantry Division left.
"Yes, Captain." Xu Feipeng nodded.
"Still, Commander. What should we do if someone else fights with us for northern Myanmar? Xu Pengfei asked.
"Remember, Myanmar is ours. No matter who wants to fight with us for Burma, this is to dig up our foundations, and we absolutely cannot agree to it. There must be a counterattack, defeat them, and make them pay for it. Qin Shou said solemnly.
"The British and the national * army, should we fight too?" Xu Feipeng was a little worried.
"If the British dare to hand over their paws, chop them off." Qin Shou is not afraid of the British. The British behaved too much rubbish in this world war. Both in the east against the Japanese and in the west against the Germans were defeated. Their world hegemony has long been unstable. If it weren't for the reinforcements provided to them by the Americans, they would have been unable to hold out a long time ago.
"As for the national * army, I believe that the mountain city side will not be caught in the fire by the British. The main enemy in the country is the Japanese themselves, not with us, and once they have a grudge with us, we will cut off the Yunnan-Burma road. The supplies they wanted, they were gone. I believe that the people in the mountain city know how to choose. ”
"Yes, Commander, I see." Xu Feipeng nodded, Qin Shou's meaning, he knew very well.
Although, Qin Shou's ambition has already been revealed. However, these generals of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not feel anything bad at all. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is now developing so strongly, and the defeat of Burma is just around the corner. In the future, it may grow even stronger. Under such circumstances, there is naturally no need to go back to accept the leadership of Chairman Chiang and get involved in those bad things in China.
What's more, if it were in China, it would be absolutely impossible for them to become division commanders and commanders at such a young age.
After the 4th Infantry Division moved north, Qin Shou led the main force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army to the south and headed for Mandalay.
At this time, the Japanese troops in Mandalay had learned that the Burmese Front had been completely annihilated. They are under the leadership of the Chief of Staff, Major General Nakanaga Taro, to burn important documents and materials before evacuating Mandalay.
Now there are not many Japanese troops at all, all of them are second-line troops. The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is so powerful, how can they be able to deal with it? Rather than die here in vain, it is better to retreat immediately, retreat to southern Burma, join up with the rest of the Japanese army, and then find another way.
At the same time, the Japanese troops that had entered southern Burma received an order from the Southern Army to stop moving north and garrison on the spot. At the same time, Lieutenant General Masafumi Yamauchi, commander of the 15th Division of the Japanese Army, was appointed as the commander of their unit, responsible for commanding the remaining Japanese troops in Burma and preparing to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
In the headquarters of the Japanese Southern Army in Lion City, General Terauchi Shouichi was completely annihilated by the Burmese Front, and he fired again. However, even if he gets angry again, it will be useless. Next, they will face the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Although the Japanese army had gathered tens of thousands of people in southern Burma, General Terauchi had no confidence in whether these tens of thousands of people could withstand the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.
Before that, General Shouichi Terauchi would never believe that such a situation would happen. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese army is so strong. How could it be that the people of China could be defeated? However, the facts are in front of them, and they can't believe it!
How to resist the attack of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army and hold the southern part of Burma has become a difficult problem in front of General Terauchi Shouichi. (To be continued.) )
