The headquarters of the 15th Army was filled with a relaxed atmosphere. Although the front line is hard, the situation is largely decided.

In the Chinese battlefield, although the Japanese army has won many battles, it is still not easy to annihilate such a large force of national troops, and the Chinese army can always escape from the gap in the encirclement, but this time it seems that the encirclement and annihilation have become a foregone conclusion, and it is not clear that Du Yuming still has a chance to turn the tables.

Iida was not in a hurry to mobilize his troops to besiege, as long as he intercepted it, he couldn't imagine any reinforcements that might save the enemy, the British army had already fled to India, and the Chinese army on the Nu River line had not yet gathered the defenders, and they were too busy to take care of themselves, let alone enter Burma once. In such a pleasant atmosphere, the staff officers of the military staff began to be eager to try again, optimistically planning the next move. There are currently 30,000 Burmese troops and 40,000 Indian troops waiting for equipment. There is no place in Japan to provide so much, so we can only wait to be captured from the battlefield. When he supported King De to prepare for the Mongolian government, he was also short of guns and ammunition, and as a result, in the first battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, there were guns and ammunition. Iida was also annoyed by Suzuki's urging, and he expected to be able to get only tens of thousands of guns in a few days, and everything was perfect.

Someone came in to report that the repair office directly under the army had discovered the enemy's activities in the vicinity in the morning. The staff officer was unimpressed, and this information was not conveyed to Iida.

From the staff officer's point of view, the Japanese army advanced by leaps and bounds, leaving behind many Chinese troops, and there would always be some remnants of the enemy in the rear, who defined the previous poison gas leak as a mistake by an American plane, and neither grasped nor cared much about the enemy situation in the rear.

At this time, Zhou Youfu had already captured the enemy's repair shop near the highway, was counting the cars, counting 90 usable trucks, and the Japanese braved the difficulties and used horse-drawn carts to pull down about 10,000 liters of gasoline from here. If you add the original trucks and half-tracks of the composite group, such a transportation capacity can transport 3,000 people at a time to move quickly, but the drivers may not be enough, and they have to meet with the main force before they can start the cars.

In the north, Dai Anlan's expeditionary force and the Japanese army were in a stalemate, and the Japanese defense line was critical several times, but at every critical moment, a group of reinforcements from the rear arrived in time to stabilize the situation, and now Mu Tian has 5 infantry brigades, 1 artillery brigade, and the main force of the Chinese army, the new 22nd Division and 200th Division, are attacking in turn, and they still cannot break through.

Dai Anlan was in a hurry in the command headquarters, and the American planes had already discovered that the pursuers in the rear were building a pontoon bridge and were preparing to come from behind them. The only good news was that Shi Headquarters had finally appeared, and he had been unable to communicate in the mountains of northern Burma, and had probably finally found a vantage point from which to send a telegram, but it did not really help. He was now faced with a situation where, although there were 70,000 men, the attack was so narrow that it was impossible to deploy his forces, and he could only commit two regiments at a time. It was suggested that he should protrude from the western mountains, but that would have left behind the seriously wounded; Moreover, the troops are likely to be chaotic and lose their unified command, and there is still a long way to go to India, and once they lose their organization, the enemy can quickly catch up and break through each one.

He couldn't help but complain in his heart that Chu Ting's long mouth was like a river, in fact, he was also a scoreless, Chu said that there was his own team of people near the highway, full of people, and even kept tanks and trucks, he didn't dare to believe it at the time, and his heart was discounted, but now no one came. It would be nice if a group of men came from behind the enemy. Could it be that Chu's stragglers bravely saw a large number of Japanese troops hiding and didn't dare to respond? At this time, Chu Tingchang with a thousand cavalry was looking for other routes to march in the nearby mountains, and he wanted to find a scolding attempt, but he was nowhere to be found. Commander Dai's heart went up and down, with his experience, it was difficult to break through head-on on his own, the 200th Division and the new 22nd Division were the same as the Japanese pursuers behind, they were already very weak, but the main force of the Japanese army in front of them was the 18th Division Xinzhuang Wing, which was a cutting-edge unit that had not moved much. Some officers in the army have despaired, constantly asking for the whole to be broken into pieces, and all the departments have chosen their own places to break through, but they have all been pressed down by him, but after Du Yuming fell, he actually did not have military power to command the whole army, but the 5th Army was stronger, and others listened to him for the time being.

He was going to concentrate a few more main regiments to attack once or twice to see the situation, but the U.S. aerial reconnaissance found that the vast contingent was rushing here, and the U.S. military reported that there were at least 20,000 people, and he suspected that the Americans were dazzled, where could the Japanese army in the entire Burma still loot 20,000 people?

Here, Lin Xiuxuan saw that the fire was almost the same, and suggested to Tao Mingzhang to attack, Tao ordered all the last 5 tanks of the synthetic regiment to be driven out and placed at the front of the troops, and all the men and horses marched to the north to kill.

Along the railway line from south to north, there were indeed tens of thousands of troops marching, if those people could call them troops.

The leaders of the Burmese Independence Coalition Army, the Burmese People's Party, and the Popular Front occupied the road, and they rushed north with their men and families to seize territory, for fear that Myitkyina would be plundered by the Japanese and leave nothing for themselves. The sparse team was misjudged by Allied aerial reconnaissance as the so-called 20,000-strong Japanese army. The American pilots were probably frightened by the Japanese planes, and after a hasty glance, they reported in confusion.

The Burmese have lived in the south of Mandalay since ancient times, and rarely set foot in the north, they are jealous of the separation of the various ethnic groups in the north for generations, control of gem deposits, and hate the British for pulling the mountain tribes to suppress the Burmese, and now there are Japanese support, it is the best time for revenge, so the rabble of all walks of life, just find an independent or free name, show off their might and go to the north, most of these people have no weapons, along the way to each other, seize the Japanese army's logistics channel, but also make Iida head unstoppable.

Of course, the synthetic group can't get used to these people controlling the road, Zhou Youfu's armored car approached from the rice field on the right, watching those two people wave happily to themselves.

He signaled on the radio for all nine 221 vehicles to unfold and get closer to shoot. He saw women and children sitting on the ox cart, Burmese peasants with blankets and farm tools behind the cart, the whole team did not have a few guns, it can be considered that they are just homeless people, but he has no compassion, he also saw many expeditionary soldiers in southern Burma after being left alone, they were mutilated by these people, and at this moment the murderous heart suddenly rose.

The Burmese on the road, who were anxious to make a fortune, finally found that the situation was strange, and the Japanese waving their hands in the chariots were not visible, but the shooters on the machine gun towers pressed the steel helmets very low, leaking only the brim and muzzle of the hat.

The machine guns fired together, and suddenly hit a chicken and dog jumping on the road. Chariots rushed onto the highway and scattered the weeping crowd. From a tactical point of view only, Lao Zhou's approach was right, and he used the fastest action to convey a message to the gang - get out of the road quickly. All those who could run hurried away, and he naturally did not chase after him.

The five tanks then followed the road and took the lead in breaking forward, not actually encountering any counterattack, but they needed to push the carts that had been dumped on the road and pile up their luggage to clear the way for the motorized troops behind.

Mutaguchi is drafting a battle report at the headquarters, reporting that his loyal 18th Division, the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes, resisting 16 enemy charges, completely controlling the situation, and believing that he will soon be able to switch from defense to offensive and draw the end of the Burma campaign here.

Someone came in to report that there was confusion in the rear, and there were Burmese who reported hostility in the rear. Mutaguchi was impatient to send the people away, and he hated the goodwill policies of the base camp to control China, and he delayed a lot of things in order to implement these policies. His troops marched all the way to the army, unable to demolish houses, unable to grab food, and simply could not adapt.

Of course, the Japanese look down on these South Asian residents in their bones, and they will not treat the Burmese when they are captured and put in cages for exhibition at the World Exposition, which is just an expedient measure at present.

On the contrary, the Burmese were happy to provide information to the Japanese army in exchange for military supplies, but most of the time it was nonsense, and the information was neither time-limited nor confusing, so Mutaguchi did not want to hear these things at all. But listening to the sound of artillery in the rear, he has a good quality, and he can hear the sound of the long-lost American 75-mm mountain gun. After the battle in the Moneva mines, he had not heard such a terrible weapon fire, how could it appear in his rear.

He quickly turned out of the headquarters and looked behind him from a vantage point. In 20 seconds, 3 American tanks were counted. It wasn't a light tank, but the kind of Grant he feared the most, full of weapons. The low-profile vehicles of the rear followers of the tank were armored reconnaissance vehicles and half-tracks, and the attack was in a good way, not at all like the war in Asia. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not mistaken. A shell fell in front of him, alarming the horses of the baggage troops. Only then did he remember that he did not have any reserves at all, nor did he build trenches to defend to the south. What can I do?

But now it was too late to give the order to adjust the deployment, and the tanks on the opposite side approached at two speeds, neither fast nor slow, and strafed the unsuspecting baggage and artillery units with machine guns. The Japanese could only counterattack with some light machine guns, but the enemy shelling followed.

Mutaguchi was in a trance, he felt that this was not the situation that modern warfare should have, there must be something wrong? He struggled to reminisce. During this period, the enemy broke through a few hundred meters and advanced with extended artillery strikes, which were beyond the reach of even the most elite Japanese troops.

The officers snatched him off the hill, dragged him into a Rolls-Royce and left.

The captain of the car on Grant just saw an officer surrounded by people on the opposite hill, who was looking at him with a telescope, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, and then saw several cars driving in front of him, as if they were about to run. He kicked the gunner below in the right shoulder, motioned for him to turn the muzzle, and stomped his foot again to stop the tank. The gunner's viewing window had a narrow view and kept up with only the last car in the convoy. He aimed slightly, calculated the advance of half the car's sound, and fired a shot, which promoted the Lanchester sedan that was trailing, and this shot was a bit of a loss, and only killed the division's mastermind.

When Chief Chu arrived at Dai Anlan's headquarters, he saw that the officers outside were gathering and smoking, most of their faces were pale, and when they saw him, they all turned their faces, obviously blaming him for pointing a dead end. He ignored the guards and rushed into the tent, where Dai Anlan was wiping his pistol, probably making some preparations for the final success.

"Commander, my men are here." He shouted, which was heard inside and outside the tent, and everyone came in.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good news, our army has been behind the enemy and is attacking, and we must kill it with all our might."

Dai Anlan was stunned for a moment, he happened to have three regiments in his hands, ready to make a last fight, but he was now suspicious of Chu Tingchang's words.

"Is that true? Your troops have arrived? ”

"Report," a communications soldier came in from outside, "and the communications were connected to the Synthetic Regiment, and they were already attacking behind enemy lines. We ask for our cooperation. ”
