Chapter 1740 Compromise
"The tropical jungle and complex geographical environment cannot stop the advance of the imperial army at all!" Anda Twenty-san waved his hand and said lightly, "The Great Japanese Imperial Army formed an army and grew up in suffering. What kind of difficulties have you experienced? Compared with the difficulties faced during the Russo-Japanese War, what is this difficulty in Myanmar?"
Ishihara Kanji frowned and said, "If it's just a jungle, of course there's no problem."
"Since there is no problem, what are Ishihara-kun worried about?" Anda said twenty-three times.
"It's mainly the Chinese army!" Ishihara said with a frown, "The Chinese army will use the terrain to launch endless harassment, which will cause serious casualties to the Imperial Army!"
"Ishihara Jun, what's wrong with you?" Anda 23 slowly turned around and cast a very surprised look at Ishihara Kaner, "Ishihara Jun in my memory is not like this."
After a pause, Anda 23 said again: "When you were in Manchuria, you were in power and promoted the Liutiao Lake incident, but you were full of energy. Why did the most energetic Ishihara Jun who had just passed ten years ago become what he is now, becoming more cautious and even timid?"
"Baga!" Ishihara smiled furiously, "I am not afraid of the Chinese army."
"Since you are not afraid of the Chinese army, why are you worried about the Chinese army's attack?" Anda 23 asked, "The Chinese army is not a heavenly soldier and general. They will use the jungle environment to attack the imperial army. Can't the imperial army in turn use the jungle environment to lure the Chinese army? The geographical environment is always fair to both sides."
"That's because you haven't experienced the power of the Chinese army in the jungle!" Ishihara said coldly, "If you had fought with the Chinese army in the jungle, you probably wouldn't think so."
"Oh, is that?" Anda Twenty-three said lightly, "The Chinese army is actually very good at jungle warfare?"
Ishihara Kanji was too lazy to say more, and said to Kamida Huaxiong: "Kun Kamida, go and invite Mudaguchi to come."
"Hayi." Kadi Na Huaxiong agreed and immediately turned around to invite the commander of the 18th Division, Ryoya Mudaguchi.
At this time, the 18th Japanese Division was stationed near Bogu, so less than half an hour later, Mutaguchi Ryokawa hurried to the temporary headquarters of the Front Army.
"Commander!" Mudaguchi Ryokawa also saluted Ishihara Kanir, and then greeted Anda 23, "Hometimes no see Anda Jun."
Mutaguchi Ryo is also of the same qualifications as Anda's twenty-three, and his experience is similar.
But Anda Twenty-three became the commander first, which is both ability and luck.
"Long time no see." Anda 23 also bowed slightly to Mudaguchi Ryo.
Ishihara smiled and said, "Mutaguchi, tell Andajun about how the Chinese army fought the jungle war?"
"Hayi!" Mutaguchi Ryokun also paused and said, "Andajun, the Chinese army is indeed very good at fighting jungle wars, especially in jungle ambush wars!"
"The Chinese army often set up ambush in the jungle in advance, based on regiment battalions and even companies."
"Because the jungle terrain is too complex and too dense, the Imperial Army often cannot detect it when it comes to the Chinese army."
"So, when the Chinese army suddenly launched an attack, the imperial army had lost most of its manpower before they could react, and the remaining manpower could not organize a decent counterattack under the crossfire of the Chinese army."
Anda Twenty-three frowned and said, "Don't you send scouts?"
"How could it be possible not to send scouts?" Mudaguchi Ryoshi shook his head and said again, "We have sent, and the number and frequency of scouts sent are more than usual, but it is still useless."
"Can't you find the existence of the Chinese army?" Anda twenty-three frowned.
"Yes, I can't find it at all." Mudaguchi Ryo also sighed, "The jungle environment is too complicated. As long as you have a little disguise, you can't find it even if you walk to him."
"This is impossible!" Anda Twenty-three said without belief, "This must be because your vigilance is not enough."
Mudaguchi Ryo didn't argue, and spread his hands and said, "Andajun, you will know sooner or later."
"I still don't believe what you said." Anda Twenty-three insisted, "I don't think the Chinese army can really stop the advancement of the Imperial Army through jungle warfare, so I will state my claims to the Southern Army General Command and even the base camp."
"Of course." Ishihara smiled and said, "That's your power, but before the orders from the Southern Army General Command or the base camp came down, you must obey my orders, take your troops to meet my troops, and then advance along the Yangman Railway toward Mandalay."
...
Half an hour later, at the Singapore Southern Army Command.
Operational staff officer Masami Ishii walked into the war room with a folder and reported to Soichi Deanuchi: "Commander-in-Chief, the 27th Army just sent an urgent telegram!"
When Souchi Tanuchi frowned when he heard this.
Because according to regulations, the 27th Army belongs to the Burmese Front.
So if there is any problem with the 27th Army, you should first look for Ishihara Kaner.
At this moment, Shouchi of Tera'uchi frowned and said, "Has Anda Jun and Ishihara Jun had a conflict?"
"Hai." Masami Ishii paused and said, "Andar and Ishihara have different views on the next phase of the war in Myanmar. Because the dispute is difficult, we asked the Southern Army General Command to make a ruling."
"Nothing." Teruchi Suichi said unhappily, "Don't they negotiate?"
It is not that easy to do in ruling, because it not only means offending one of them, but also means taking on leadership responsibilities!
The key is that he is not familiar with the situation in Myanmar!
But Anda Twenty-three's telegram has arrived, so I will definitely not be able to escape it.
At this moment, Soichi Desun asked again: "Ishii-kun, tell me about the differences between them."
"Hayi." Masami Ishii paused again and told her the differences between the two.
After listening, Soichi Seuchi fell into deep thought. After a while, he asked Masami Ishii and said, "Ishii, what do you think?"
Masami Ishii thought for a while and said, "Commander-in-Chief, Huyi thought Commander Ishihara was more familiar with Myanmar. He said that the jungle war between the Chinese army was very powerful, most of which was true!"
"What do you mean is to support Ishihara's opinion?"
"It's not entirely true. Commander Ishihara's opinion may be more in line with facts, but it is not reasonable."
"Reasonable?" Teraunuchi said with a frown, "What do you mean? Why can't I understand?"
Masami Ishii smiled slightly and said, "It is reasonable that Commander Anda just arrived in Myanmar, and the four divisions of the 27th Army were also highly morale, so they should first let them fight against the Chinese army, as the saying goes, the spirit can be boosted and not let go, so how can Commander Ishihara attack the enthusiasm of all the imperial soldiers of the 27th Army?"
