Zhou Youfu used a telescope to observe a female British nurse walking towards a Japanese wounded man rolling by the ditch. When I passed by just now, why didn't I see it, otherwise I would have been crushed to death and saved a bullet. It turned out that the British did not seem to be going to replenish the guns, but to check the wounds of the Japanese soldiers. This made him angry, and quickly let the driver pass, so that he could teach the English girl what it means to fight. Before I could get there, there was an explosion over there*. Seeing the dog day dying earned one. He couldn't help but grin: yes!

In the British airfield headquarters, Chu Tingchang sat expressionlessly in front of the British commander who kept slapping the table. The commander asked him to hand over the company commander who shot his own man and send him to a military court, but of course he couldn't do it, so he froze. By the window, Brooke walked around, and he wanted to discuss the next step quickly, but Lieutenant Colonel Gale did not give up, and he had to waste time pursuing the matter. Even Brooke couldn't stand it.

Gail's roar was interrupted by the sound of an explosion in the distance, and he hid by the window, not daring to look directly. Brooke stood straight and looked through a telescope.

"The wounded Japanese soldier detonated*, killing one of your military doctors."

"These damn Japanese are too brave." The British lieutenant colonel said, his tone showing a little respect, and he showed any respect to the Chinese who saved the defensive line.

"Now it is necessary to develop a strategy immediately, and the Japanese will soon attack."

"With your tanks here, what else can they do?" The British colonel didn't care, as if he was talking about the Americans and the Chinese, and it had nothing to do with himself.

"The Japanese army's anti-tank tactics were diversified, so we had to guard against them, and I also sent troops to other directions to prevent them from carrying out outflanking tactics." Chu Tingchang stood up and said, his English was very good, with a slight Fujian accent.

"With such a small number of troops, do you have to divide your troops to other places?" The lieutenant colonel looked a little flustered, "This is one of the few flat passages through the peninsula, surrounded by mountains. Their mechanized troops could only come from here. ”

He was right, the Arakan Mountains ran along the western coast of Burma, and there were only a few leveled places, so the British airfields and roads were concentrated here. Alexander's envisioned line of defense was also here.

"Mechanized troops......" Chu Aiyun shook his head, there is really no way to communicate with this fool, "Lieutenant colonel, the Japanese army is known for its hardships and hard work, and it can dismantle mountain artillery at any time and bypass it from the mountain, so it can't be guarded."

"I've heard of these, in Malaya, in the Philippines...... But we were short of troops, and they had the advantage, their battleship guns could hit anywhere at any time, and there were carrier-based aircraft, and we could not leave the strong fortifications and be exposed in the open. The lieutenant colonel sat down discouraged, took off his military cap, and began to wipe his sweat.

"Where are the battleship heavy guns, why didn't I hear the sound of the heavy guns?" Chu Tingchang said. Gail was speechless, and he also wondered how as soon as the Chinese appeared, those heavy artillery stopped fighting, and they kept exploding around before, although they were not accurate, but the runway was not lightly destroyed.

Chief Chu talked to Brooke in a whisper, and he hoped that the American major would summon planes to conduct aerial reconnaissance to see if he could detect the movements of the Japanese army in advance. Brooke sided with Pavilionman Chu, he also felt that the British were too passive, and the biggest advantage of the Japanese army at present was probably the fear of the Allies against them.

On the north bank of the Lancang River, several wet Japanese soldiers began to sort out their equipment and prepare to touch the Chinese army camp.

It was dark at dawn and they rowed over, only to be swept away by the rapids and lose six people. Fortunately, the radio station was not on the dinghy, and the mission continued.

The Japanese army has been paying attention to the main force of the national army in this area, and they suddenly found that the soldiers of the 74th Army appeared in the city two weeks ago, and they were really surprised, because originally this was just the handle of the Yunnan army, but the fixed time of the report, the unchanged position, leaked out of the horse's feet, and was caught by the military commander, and now the head is still hanging in Jinghong City; Therefore, Iida, who was in a hurry to carry out the operation, was really suffering from the uncertainty of the enemy's situation, and had to send someone to take a look. The scouts belonged to the 56th Division Search Wing, not professional spies, and they didn't even have local clothes, they came in military uniforms. They sneaked down a ravine and soon found a Chinese military camp. Hiding in the distance and looking through binoculars for a while, he found that only a small number of personnel were left to count the supplies, and the place where the artillery was parked as pointed out by the air force reconnaissance was already empty, and the axle marks on the ground were all in a mess.

The Japanese army began to use the radio to send a report to the rear, and the military commander stationed in Jinghong immediately monitored the direction of the signal and found that it was not the Thai army calling, but the Japanese army code.

The dispatcher hid under the tree behind the scout, and when he turned around, he found two hunters with muskets on their backs, who had come out of nowhere, looking at him curiously, and the hunters were dressed differently from the average Han Chinese. The Japanese soldier took out the chocolate and motioned for the other party to come and get it, but the other party was a little wary and flinched. He hurriedly threw away the chocolate, grabbed a handful of silver dollars from his pocket and handed it over, and the other party smiled and walked over slowly.

The Japanese scouts armed with bayonets suddenly passed from behind, killing one of them who was greedy for money, and the other wanted to run away, but was knocked down by the Japanese army, but before he died, Orion pulled the trigger and released a shot, and the remaining troops in the nearby barracks immediately came here.

Chen Zhiping is in the Mandalay Palace, waiting for the situation in the west, after the fall of Yangon, the Lashio Pass is controlled by a battalion of the 74th Army, the battalion commander is a guy who does not know what to do, and it is already very difficult to smuggle from there, so many goods are still trapped in the west, ready to be shipped to India, to see if they can get rid of it at a local discount, or buy off the US 10 Air Force, and find a way to send it to Yunnan from Assam's Tingjiang Airport. The Japanese army suddenly landed in Sittwe, and it was simply impossible to get along with Director Dai everywhere, and this matter fell on him, and he had to deal with it carefully.

Someone came in to report that a strange thing was discovered, and a few hours ago, Japanese troops were found at the original station of the 74th Army.

Chen Zhiping's first thought was to slap the person who came in to report and tell him to learn some common sense, distinguish the difference between the Thai army and the Japanese army, and then come to eat this bowl of rice. However, after listening to the careful talk, the 56th Division was found on the bodies of the people killed, and even a radio station was seized. This made him have to be vigilant, it seems that the Japanese still really care about this area, but it is against common sense?

If this group of Japanese came 2 days earlier, he could have said it at the military meeting, anyway, how to make decisions at the peak, but it was already too late, he patted his chest at the meeting, there was nothing to do on the eastern front, the 56th Division had been transferred to the west, and now the 74th Army has been transferred, if it is reported to Luo Zhuoying that the 56th Division appears in the east again, it will inevitably be scolded by him.

But the stakes were serious, he still hesitated to grab the telephone, shook the handlebar, heard the switchboard on the other end ask where to connect to the unit, and suddenly pressed the phone again. He still didn't have the courage to face Shangfeng, but just now he suddenly figured out one thing, the garrison killed three Japanese soldiers, found a radio station, and only found a rubber boat by the river, which could not be seen to be much. It is difficult to say that it is not deliberately exposed, and the act of diverting the attention of the Allies is not as good as ...... Observe for a while.

Wing Commander Hirai of the 56th Division, who was in Mochi, received the news that the main force of the Chinese army had been transferred, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Immediately use the telephone call just received by the communications unit to report to the rear, and then mobilize the troops, waiting for Iida to decide, not surprisingly, the Chinese tiger division that he feared the most is using the railway to move westward, and when the enemy has passed Lashio, he can dispatch agents from the southern organs lurking in northern Burma to blow up the most important railway bridge nodes of the railway at the northern end of the Yangman Highway, so that they cannot retreat, and perhaps the air force can be dispatched to blow up the Huitong Bridge, completely cutting off the possibility of the rest of the Chinese troops entering Burma in the short term.

In the Japanese headquarters in Yangon, Iida Shojiro received the enemy situation in front and immediately held a meeting, everything is going smoothly at present, the only problem is that the landing force encountered tough resistance from the Allies near the Sittwe airport, the Japanese army used electronic deception to make the Allies think that there is the main force of the combined fleet, and the main force of more than one division, if even a small airfield can not be taken, the cowhide may be broken, and the strategy to attract more Chinese troops to the west may also be affected.

There was a stir in the headquarters, and the deliberative style of the Japanese soldiers, once the battle situation was unfavorable, there were fewer differences, and only the commander's opinion was followed; When victory was in sight, all kinds of strange opinions came out, and no one was convinced.

"It is necessary to concentrate the forces of the 58th Wing and take the Sittwe airfield in one go, so that the enemy's main forces can continue to move westward." Chief of Staff Shiokawa Daisa said.

"But this force is a strong force, and we currently lack heavy weapons, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to break through." The newly arrived senior staff officer, Hiroo Iwabe, immediately took a negative opinion.

"It's all navy waste, and it can't support us in the fight. If it weren't for their poor horizontal bombing skills, they would have driven the enemy away long ago. Shiokawa said.

"Since the Navy can't do it, what about your 5th Flying Division? Is it feasible to fly from Thailand to support our army? Shiota asked Nakasa Tsujimoto of the Fifth Flying Division on the side.

"The distance is too far, and the radar superiority of the British cannot be underestimated. Chennault's flying team can intercept us condescendingly every time, and I am afraid that the gains outweigh the losses. ”

"Yes, at the moment the entire landing force has unloaded 11 field guns, but there are no shells; There was not a single anti-aircraft gun, and there were a lot of shells. Shiota sighed, this kind of scheduling problem, of course, is caused by hasty planning.

"Maybe you can fight back with weapons from British warehouses?" Someone else came up with a crooked trick. I'm about to bring up the topic and discuss it.

"Don't make any noise, these are the details." Someone raised their voices, shocking the others, and the venue suddenly fell silent.

It was Masanobu Tsuji who spoke. He stood there with a calm face, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as if he was laughing at all the plans he had just heard, all of them were pediatrics, and most of the people involved in the discussion here were his peers in the Army University, and some of them were one or two years higher than him.

"Staff Officer Tsuji, what are you talking about?"

"I mean, your plans are good, but they lack strategic considerations." He continued with a sneer.

"Strategic considerations?" Iida, who had not spoken, said; The landing was successful, and Iida had a lot of views on Masanobu Tsuji and wanted to hear his plan.

"Real military personnel should notice that the situation in Myanmar has changed."

"Oh?"

"At the beginning, it was the British who wanted to defend Burma, and the Chinese were not very active, which was where our opportunity to launch the first campaign was, but now, it is precisely the Chinese who want to hold Burma, and it is the British who want to withdraw in time."
