Chapter 896 The Japanese Army's Operation at All Costs Begins (Chapter 2)
Just when Liu Feiyang's troops were all changing into Japanese military uniforms, weapons and equipment and preparing to blend into the chaos of the Japanese 55th Division,
It was at this moment that the division commander of the Japanese 55th Division, Takeuchi Hiroshi, received his communications officer Asaka Kodai, but he hurriedly handed him an encrypted telegram.
"Bagayalu! Finally there is good news!"
He was originally embarrassed by the fierce counterattack by the artillery unit of the 200th Division, but after reading such a sudden telegram, he immediately became energetic.
And it also swept away the situation where just now his artillery unit and heavy artillery regiment were almost completely destroyed by the 200th Division, and the distressed division commander Hiroshi Takeuchi,
After reading the telegram, his face was filled with a ferocious smile that wanted to take revenge immediately.
Because the content of the telegram is very simple, that is, the Burmese traitors in the same ancient city have discovered the location of the artillery position of the 200th Division, and where they store the American M102 105mm howitzers.
Even the storage warehouses of the British Army's Matilda 2 tank group were discovered by these Burmese traitors.
So these Burmese traitors plan to organize manpower and find a way to blow up these storage warehouses.
And I hope that the Japanese army can once again dispatch a large-scale aircraft group to conduct precise bombings, blowing up all the British Matilda 2 tank groups and the American M102 105mm howitzer group into scrap metal and parts.
Because these Burmese traitors believed the lies of the Japanese, that they would help them get rid of the colonial rule of the British army and allow them to achieve independence and regain their freedom.
Therefore, they also voluntarily became the eyes and eyes of these devils, as well as the troops to assist in the battle.
That's why Takeuchi Hiroshi, the commander of the Japanese 55th Division, suddenly became energetic after reading this telegram.
Don't continue to feel distressed that your artillery unit is almost completely destroyed,
He was not worried or angry because his Japanese troops had suffered a lot of casualties and had not yet fully restored calm.
Because at this time, he had already seen that the best opportunity for him to retaliate against the 200th Division had arrived.
As long as we can successfully blow up all the Matilda 2 tank groups and the American M102 105mm howitzer group that Liu Feiyang donated to the 200th Division,
Then they will achieve a good counterattack record in this battle.
"Sigh! You drop!"
"Inform me immediately to the aviation side and be sure to ask them to attack the ancient city again. I will personally communicate with their commander-in-chief!"
So after being in a good mood, the division commander of the 55th Division, Hiroshi Takeuchi, did not hesitate to issue instructions to his communications officer, Kodai Asaka.
"Hai!"
Communications officer Asaka Kodai didn't hesitate at all, and immediately nodded and agreed.
Subsequently, he also followed the other party's instructions and carried out the task of sending a telegram to the Japanese Air Force for support.
Soon, the Japanese Air Force also received a request for help telegram from the division commander Takeuchi Hiroshi of the 55th Division.
As well as his subsequent communications via phone calls from the field in person, as well as to the Commander of the Burmese Front, Shozo Kawabe, and the Commander of the Japanese Fifteenth Army, Shojiro Iida, asking for help and reporting on the situation here.
In particular, the focus was on requesting reinforcements from the Japanese Air Force to blow up the warehouses and locations where the Matilda 2 tank group of the 200th Division and the American M102 105mm howitzer group were stored.
Regarding his request for focus,
After the two Japanese senior commanders learned about the situation, they immediately agreed to his application and immediately personally supervised the dispatch of the Japanese aircraft group and the bombing situation.
For them, it was unexpected that the 200th Division still had so many heavy firepower cards.
"These Chinese troops are really cunning! They actually have so many British tanks, heavy artillery groups, and artillery groups. It is completely beyond our imagination!"
After they personally issued instructions to the Japanese Air Force for the bombing operation, Shojiro Iida, commander of the Japanese Fifteenth Army, had a complicated mood and said to Shozo Kawabe, commander of the Burmese Front Army next to him.
"That's right! I never thought that these Chinese troops actually hid so many sophisticated heavy firepower weapons and equipment. Originally, I just thought that they were just stronger than the average Chinese army and had some relatively backward mechanized equipment.
That’s all!”
"Although this China 200 Division is known as the first mechanized combat unit in the China Army, I didn't take them to heart at all. I originally thought that the tanks and chariots they used were all given by foreigners.
The discarded and outdated tanks are tanks and combat vehicles that cannot pose a mission threat to our imperial tanks and combat vehicles!"
"And those artillery pieces are just ordinary artillery pieces!"
"But now I realize how wrong I was!"
"The China 200 Division actually not only has a Matilda 2 tank group that is enough to fight against our Imperial tanks and combat vehicles, but also has a heavy artillery unit with fierce firepower. This kind of information really shocked me and was unimaginable.
!”
"If the person who reported this news was not the division commander of the 55th Division, Takeuchi Hiroshi, who is currently fighting the China 200th Division, I would not believe it!"
"The Matilda 2 tank is not a group of tanks that the China Army can easily obtain, and heavy artillery units have always been a major killer on the battlefield for armies of various countries. Not every country is willing to sell them to the China Army!"
"And you must know that transporting so many tanks, combat vehicles, and heavy artillery will definitely require a large number of trains and logistics personnel. However, to transport so much military equipment, we don't have an intelligence officer, or there are none at all.
An imperial officer discovered how these Chinese troops were transported into the ancient city!"
"This is something very wrong!"
"Is our intelligence system failing? Or are our intelligence agents all useless?"
"With so much sophisticated equipment, their transportation has not been discovered?"
"So I feel that maybe we need to reorganize our intelligence system here. If it weren't for the Burmese people who trust us and give us information this time, maybe our battle with the ancients will suffer heavy casualties this time.
And suffered heavy losses, and still can’t take revenge!”
"But fortunately this time, even if the 55th Division lost so many heavy artillery and artillery, we were still able to know the location of the storage warehouse for the hidden cards of this damn 200th Division, so no matter what we pay,
The price is good, be sure to blow up all the heavy firepower weapons and equipment of the China 200 Division!"
"We absolutely cannot allow the China 200th Division to still possess heavy firepower weapons and equipment and sophisticated equipment that can compete with our Imperial Army. Otherwise, if we only rely on risking human lives, we will definitely lose the advantage of heavy firepower in combat.
They will not be a match for the Chinese Army because they have so many people!"
"You can fight with our imperial army to suppress us at the cost of human lives!"
After listening to the words of Shojiro Iida, the commander of the Japanese Fifteenth Army, Kawabe Shozo, commander of the Burmese Front Army, thought for a while and expressed his inner anger.
"Sigh! I very much agree with the commander's idea!"
"So I just asked our Imperial Air Force and the incompetent division commander Takeuchi Hiroshi to blow up all the tanks, chariots and heavy artillery groups of the 200th China Division!"
"I asked them to completely destroy all the heavy firepower equipment of the China Army at all costs!"
"So I believe we will be able to hear good combat news soon!"
"No matter what, we cannot allow these Chinese 200th Division to have heavy artillery groups and tanks and chariots to compete with the expansion of our imperial army!"
"This is a battle related to the living space of our empire, so failure is absolutely not allowed!"
"All enemy forces that stand in our way must be eradicated. No matter whether it is the Chinese army, the British army, or the American army, they will not be allowed to win!"
"Because the victorious troops will only be our Imperial Army's!"
After hearing this, the commander of the 15th Army, Shojiro Iida, quickly agreed.
Chapter completed!
