Lieutenant General Dubian Pifu put his hope on attacking the 148th Wing of Tonggubei Gate when his continuous attacks did not have any effect. It's just that the 148th Wing has not been able to get in touch for a day and a half since it set off three days ago, which also makes Dubian Pifu's heart faintly uneasy. Sure enough, at noon the next day, a soldier of the 148th Wing and three soldiers found the headquarters of the 56th Division in an embarrassed manner.

After this military cao saw Du Bian Pifu, his first sentence made him almost vomit blood in anger. Jun Cao bowed down to Dubian Pifu and said: "Your Excellency the Division Commander, last night our 148th Wing was suddenly surrounded and attacked by the Chinese army, His Excellency the Wing Commander and the 148th Wing were shattered, and only we rushed out to report to His Excellency the Division Commander. ”

Du Bian Pifu rushed in front of this military officer, grabbed his collar, glared at his eyes, and asked: "Nani? The 148th Wing is all broken? The Chinese army is placed in the south and west to deal with the attack of our two divisions, how can we still have the strength to surround the 148th Wing? To be honest, what is going on? If you dare to lie about the military situation, I will kill you with my own hands!"

Jun Cao's frightened face turned pale, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead. In the face of such a high-ranking figure as the lieutenant general and division commander, he came in in to report in fear, but now that the division commander is angry, the military Cao is afraid that he can't even speak. Jun Cao trembled for a long time, and Dubian Pifu finally understood what happened.

After the 148th Wing had made a detour to the north of Tonggu City and occupied the Yongkegang airfield, which was only five kilometers away from Tonggu City, the Wing Commander ordered a rest and prepared to attack the north gate of Tonggu City the next day. But during the night, a large number of Chinese troops suddenly appeared around the camp. These people used automatic weapons, and the soldiers of the wing were caught off guard, and they were in disarray, and when the wing leader was organizing the soldiers to resist the attack of the chinas, he was hit by a grenade thrown by the people of China, and the jade was shattered on the spot.

After listening to this military cao's report, Du Bian was so angry that he couldn't immediately pull out the command knife and split this military cao in half. But seeing the embarrassment of this military cao's clothes full of mud, he could only hold back his anger and loudly ordered the military cao to get out. Jun Cao had already been frightened by the anger of the division commander, and when he heard that the division commander told him to get out, he hurriedly escaped from the command headquarters as if he had been amnestied.

After Jun Cao left, Dubian Pifu turned around in circles in the headquarters with a blushing face, and scolded in his mouth as he turned: "Baga!" Dubian Pifu couldn't understand how the strength of one division of the Zhina people was used to block the attack of his two divisions, so how could he still have extra troops to encircle and annihilate the 148th Wing? You must know that the 148th Wing also has more than 4,000 people, and if you want to allow it to be broken, how can you use the strength of one division. This is still one division of the 90th Army, and if it were other branches, three divisions would not have this ability. Could it be that the people of China sent reinforcements to Tonggu? Dubian Pifu was taken aback by his thoughts.

Dubian Pifu really guessed correctly, it was the 90th Division that came to support the 93rd Division to encircle and annihilate the 148th Wing. After receiving the order of the 93rd Division, the 90th Division took the lead with the 271st Brigade and quickly rushed to the direction of Tonggucheng. When the 271st Brigade arrived near Tonggucheng, a reconnaissance detachment reported to brigade commander Tang Yiqun that Japanese troops had been found at Yongkegang Airport, five kilometers away from Tonggucheng, and that it should be a wing judging from the number of troops.

Tang Yiqun immediately ordered to stop the advance, and then asked the reconnaissance detachment to quickly find out the situation of the Japanese army. After the whole brigade stopped, Tang Yiqun called all the officers above the battalion level to a meeting. At the meeting, several regiment commanders proposed to eat the Japanese wing. Tang Yiqun also had such an idea, his brigade numbered more than 7,000 people and was well-equipped, in this case, Tang Yiqun was also confident that he would eat this wing of the Japanese army.

It was decided to destroy this wing of the Japanese army, and Tang Yiqun began to arrange tasks. The 542nd Regiment detoured back to the south of Yongkegang Airport, the 543rd Regiment detoured to the west, and the 544th Regiment returned to the east. The north side was given to the brigade guard battalion and the baggage battalion. The field artillery of several regiments was concentrated behind the brigade headquarters, ready to support at all times.

All units must arrive at the attack position before 9:30 p.m., and attack from the south, west, and east at 10 p.m. at the same time. The guard battalion in the north did not attack, but only prevented the Japanese from breaking through. The task was assigned, but Liu Yunfei, the commander of the 542nd Regiment, proposed that it would be too risky to put only one combat effective guard battalion in the north, and that if the Japanese army broke through to the north, it would be impossible to block the impact of a Japanese wing with the strength of a battalion of the guard battalion, so it was necessary to leave a battalion in the north.

Tang Yiqun agreed with Liu Yunfei's opinion, but ordered the guard battalion and the remaining three battalions to attack the Japanese army at 10 o'clock in the evening. The three regiment commanders and their battalion commanders took the order, and after a while, the whole brigade was in action. At half past nine o'clock in the evening, all three regiments arrived at the offensive positions, and the reconnaissance brigade of the army sent to assist a reconnaissance battalion of the 90th Army to begin to move forward to clear the Japanese sentry posts and mobile posts.

At 10 o'clock in the evening, troops from four directions of the Yongkegang airfield simultaneously advanced towards the Japanese garrison, and the Japanese troops were caught off guard by the soldiers of the 271st Brigade from four directions. When the Japanese army found out, there were Chinese ** people everywhere, and the Japanese army could not organize effective resistance at all. When the captain of the 146th Wing and several captains were killed, the entire 147th Wing was in chaos.

The 271st Brigade made dumplings for this Japanese wing without even using artillery, and the entire wing was killed and captured, except for a few soldiers who fled at night. After the battle, the soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, Tang Yiqun asked the baggage battalion to escort more than 200 prisoners back to Mandalay, and sent a reconnaissance detachment to get in touch with the 93rd Division in the ancient city.

The 55th and 56th Divisions of the Japanese Army had no way to take the 93rd Division with the strength of two divisions. However, the 33rd Division achieved absolute superiority in the battles between Taunggyi and the 200th Division of the Fifth Army. General Dai Anlan commanded the 200th Division to desperately block the Japanese army in Taunggyi, but the gap between the weapons and equipment and the Japanese army was too large, and the number of people was not superior. A division suffered heavy losses under the indiscriminate bombardment of Japanese planes and artillery, and the 96th Division could not arrive to support, and General Dai Anlan retreated to Laika in desperation.

After the 18th Division arrived in Yangon, the division commander Shinichi Tanaka ordered the 35th Brigade to reinforce the Tonggu direction under the leadership of the brigade commander, Major General Kiyoken Kawaguchi, and personally led the 22nd Brigade to attack the British troops who had retreated to Alanmu. The 18th Brigade of the Japanese Army is worthy of being a permanent Division A Division, and its combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the 55th and 56th Divisions.

The 55th and 56th Divisions of the Japanese Army were unable to attack Dong Gucheng anymore after losing their troops, so they withdrew 20 kilometers in the direction of Rangoon. At the station of the first and second divisions of the 35th Brigade of the Japanese army, Takeuchi and Tsubibian immediately became energetic as if they had been shot in the arm. After the two regrouped their forces, the 55th Division had two integrated wings, and the 56th Division suffered greater losses, but it was also organized into four infantry brigades.

With the 55th Division as the vanguard and the 35th Brigade as the main force, the Japanese army once again approached the ancient city of Tonggu and continued to attack the ancient city. The battle lasted for two days, and the battle was quite equal. The 93rd Division had the advantage of light weapons and artillery fire, while the Japanese had a large number of aircraft for air support. Just when the battle was raging here, Tanaka Shinichi led the 22nd Brigade to defeat the British army of Alanmu. The British fled to Ringanqiang.

Tanaka Shinichi did not rush to attack Ren'anqiang, but turned his troops and inserted himself into the fortress north of Tonggu City, and at the same time, the 33rd Division also sent the 213th Wing to outflank Tonggu City. After the reconnaissance brigade reported the movements of the Japanese troops it had detected to Wang Haitao, Wang Haitao immediately understood that the Japanese army was going to divide and surround the defenders of Tonggu for attack. Because the 33rd Division had taken a wing, General Dai Anlan's 200th Division held its ground at Laika.

In order to avoid excessive losses of the 90th and 93rd Divisions, Wang Haitao ordered the 93rd Division to abandon Tonggu City and retreat to Mandalay under the support of the 90th Division. Here in Mandalay, Du Yuming and Liao Yaoxiang's new 22nd Division also arrived at Meimu, and Wang Haitao decided to set up a pocket formation in Mandalay and start a general battle with the Japanese army.

Three days later, the 93rd and 90th Divisions rushed through Leikau and returned to Mandalay before the Japanese could join the siege. Seeing that the Tonggu defenders had returned to Mandalay before they could join the siege, the Japanese made adjustments to their forces after resting here for a few days. The 55th Division gathered two infantry wings and an engineer wing that could fight, and turned to the direction of Ringanqiang, which was defended by the British army, to attack the British army. The 33rd Division continued to attack Laika's squadron, and after occupying Laika, it attacked and advanced in the direction of Lashio, striving to cut off the Yunnan-Burma road. The 18th and 56th Divisions continued their offensive in the direction of Mandalay.

After assigning the offensive line, the divisions and regiments began to move. The first was that the 56th Division launched an attack on the British forces in Ringanqiang. Although the British army still had tens of thousands of people and the equipment was not bad, they were frightened by the Japanese army, and the army had no fighting spirit, and only wanted to flee back to India.

One of the purposes of General Stilwell's entry into Burma was to save the British army, so the British army's plea for help could not be indifferent. Wang Haitao received the order of General Stilwell to rescue the British army, and no matter how much he looked down on the British army, he could only carry out the order, so he sent the 460th Brigade of the 210th Division to live in Ren'anqiang to rescue the British army.

The 460th Brigade is a mechanized brigade equipped with hundreds of vehicles of various types, as well as 20 light armored vehicles and 10 heavy armored vehicles. The brigade has more than 6,000 officers and men. Brigade Commander Wei Bin received the order and immediately led the entire 460th Brigade to go straight to Ren'anqiang. At this time, nearly 10,000 British officers and soldiers in Ringanqiang had no time to retreat and fell into the encirclement of the Japanese army.
