Chapter 1189 Unrealistic
The three Central Army armies were expeditioned to Burma and assisted the British army.
Such a tactic hits the opponent's thoughts, and is in danger of the ancient times, while the 200th Division and the 26th Division are in danger.
Fortunately, everything hasn't happened yet, and they have the ace of Sichuan Army in their hands.
It's still time to adjust the deployment now.
"Although the 200th Division is known as the mechanized division, there are only three tanks and less than eighty artillery guns. The 55th Division of the Japanese army has 40 tanks and tanks. With the assistance of 30 150 howitzers and 200 mortars, plus the firepower of air cover, they can stage a three-dimensional attack battle in the air!"
"Japanese aircraft is a problem. The British army stationed in Myanmar is in the same western part of Gun. I made an appointment with Alexander to Rongla to prepare for a tripartite talks to see if Alexander could cooperate with the fight. You should know that the British army stationed in Myanmar was originally under the jurisdiction of the army stationed in India, and the British still have aircraft in India!"
How could it be possible that the Japanese bombed Myanmar, and the British Myanmar army suffered heavy losses. All the planes that escaped the disaster fled to India.
You also expect them to come back.
"Unrealistic, the British would not consume aircraft that defend against India on the battlefield in Myanmar to cooperate with our army's combat. Not to mention the British combat power, the devils chased the British from Yangon to Tonggu, and the 70,000 British troops in Singapore surrendered to 30,000 Japanese troops. As for Myanmar, the British Governor-General to India, Neville would rather throw it to the Japanese than to the Chinese!"
"Why? Because there are too many Chinese in Myanmar? Are there too many borders with China and too much influence?"
Zhou Xiaoshan nodded.
"The reason why we were allowed to enter Myanmar was that they were afraid that the Japanese army would march straight into India and eventually join the Germans in Persia! In other words, a division that retreated to Beimiao in Tonggu was to watch the fun. The Chinese army could withstand the Japanese army, so they stayed to announce their ownership of the land. If they could not be stopped, they would retreat to India!"
Stilwell felt that it was a stupid decision to negotiate with Alexander.
Compared to Myanmar, the British care more about India.
If Chinese people enter Myanmar, Myanmar's interests can be protected, and India's security must be guaranteed even if they cannot be guaranteed.
"No need to say anything, Zhou, tell me what you think?"
Stilwell was a little confused. He came to the Chinese battlefield to make achievements, not to lose.
The first battle was to arrange a battle to be unfamiliar with the intelligence of the Japanese army and the combat power of the British, and the warehouse scattered the three armies with hundreds of thousands of people.
Rashly!
After obtaining the deployment of the Sichuan Army, we will coordinate with the Central Army to strive for a victory in the first battle.
However, it was noisy outside, and the first victory of the Expeditionary Force's battle into Myanmar was already here.
Zhao Peishi was shouting for a report outside, and He Guoguang and Kang Ze were also with him.
Deng Xihou and Liu Wenhui knew that he was not an urgent military service, so they usually didn't come back to disturb them at this time.
"Teacher Dai entrusted Commander Hu to send a message to the Sichuan Army. The Gupew River Bridge of the New 200th Division won the first battle!"
Deng Xihou, Liu Wenhui and Zhou Xiaoshan all showed smiles on their faces.
Stilwell, who was happy, snatched the telegram from Zhao Peishi and read it.
After the Japanese army captured Yangon, the Indian and Burmese army hurriedly took their families and ran all the way. The Japanese army used their discarded Yangon cars to fire their guns and chased them along the road, chasing them to the Gupew River Bridge, which was less than 20 kilometers away from Tonggu!
According to Hu Lian's suggestion, the 200th Division ambushed the 598th and 599th regiments near the bridge.
Waiting for the Japanese brigade to enter the bridge, some of the Japanese troops were released to cross the bridge.
Because the Japanese pursued the formation too long, only half of them were about to break out of the encirclement after crossing the bridge. After discussing, the two commanders of the 200th Division decisively detonated the explosives and shells buried on the bridge.
The Japanese army that came to the enemy was blocked on both sides of the Gupew River. The Japanese army that had crossed the river was wiped out by two regiments and one and a half squadrons.
The 200th Division lost less than one company and has taken advantage of the victory to withdraw the defense of Tonggucheng.
A map of the deployment of the Japanese attack was seized, confirming that the information provided by the Sichuan Army was detailed and reliable, and it was also related to Du Yuming.
The 55.56.33rd Division of the Japanese have entered the entire country. Myanmar and less than one brigade of the 17.18th Division has entered Myanmar. The troops will land in Yangon in the next few days.
"Xiaoshan, thank you. The commissioner has already known that the 200th Division had won the first battle. He sent a telegram to express his congratulations. He hoped that the Sichuan Army could speed up the marching! "
After sending a telegram to Chongqing, Chen Cheng came over and passed through He Guoguang. He knew that Zhou Xiaoshan asked Dai Anlan to investigate along the highway, use bridges or valleys to ambush the vanguard troops of the Japanese.
The Japanese fought so well in Southeast Asia.
It's crazy.
The Central Army did not expect this battle to be so easy.
"The 55th Division of the Japanese is a complete division system. It's nothing to destroy one and a half squadrons. Let the new 26th Division arrive at Tonggu as soon as possible. As for Binwen's flank east, you can consider letting the new 39th Division take over! No matter where you are not busy or not, you must be careful of the **** Army!"
Chen Cheng smiled bitterly. These Burmese locals look similar to overseas Chinese, and some of them can even speak Chinese.
When the Expeditionary Force entered Mandalay, the British, Chinese and local people organized to welcome them on the streets.
The complex situation is a huge test for the expeditionary army that is not familiar with the place.
"The Commission ordered our command center to move Rong La! The commander-in-chief of the British Army stationed in Myanmar is already on the way to Rong La. If possible, the Commission will fly to Rong La in person!"
The large army had entered Myanmar, but Mr. Jiang was still worried that the Sichuan army would not enter Myanmar.
The Central Army in front fought alone, but the Sichuan Army in back refused to save him when he was dead.
Very thoughtful.
"Move forward and move forward. Anyway, the troops have entered Myanmar, so it's time for us to leave!"
Deng Xihou didn't think it was embarrassing to let Zhou Xiaoshan coordinate the Sichuan Army.
The battle in Myanmar delayed the border for a while.
The initiative in the battle situation is firmly in the hands of the Sichuan Army.
The Central Army on the front line not only did not receive any assistance when they arrived in Myanmar, but they were even in a dangerous place.
Waiting for Sichuan Army to help.
Looking at Zhou Xiaoshan nodding, he simply gave the order.
The Fifth Army was expanded from the 200th Division. Although there is only one chariot regiment with its military ranks, there are many cars.
Most of them are American-made trucks donated by overseas Chinese.
It can completely achieve the advancement of motorcycles.
A few days ago, the Sichuan Army used the excuse of not transporting ammunition without cars.
He Guoguang and Du Yuming not only gathered many transportation trucks on the Yunnan-Burma Highway to Baoshan, but the Fifth Army simply sent all Rong La's cars over.
After helping several Sichuan military advisors transport ammunition, they are still rich.
Now the company's command center has also been motorized.
Zhou Xiaoshan was originally preparing to get on the truck of the 66th Army Special Service Battalion.
Stilwell was too enthusiastic to take him and Deng Xihou, and Liu Wenhui invited the Central Army to prepare a car for him.
The mountain road was bumpy, and the car was a little crowded, and it was uncomfortable to march for a long distance. Liu Wenhui waved his hand and happily got into the car his driver drove from Sichuan.
When the Sichuan Army entered Myanmar to fight, I never thought about getting along with anyone.
But if Stilwell could really work closely with Zhou Xiaoshan, who in Chongqing would probably jump after knowing it?
Chapter completed!
