Chapter 1847 Coward
The 25th Army Command.
Otsuki Kenji's voice began to tremble a little: "Master Commander, come and have a look."
Mudaguchi Ryokan, who had just been dozing for a while, immediately stood up and walked to Kazuki Otsuki. Kazuki Otsuki gave up his seat, so that Mudaguchi Ryokan was also facing the lookout hole.
Mutaguchi Ryokawa only looked out, and his face collapsed.
But I saw that the position of the 1st Guard Division was completely covered by the smoke from the shell explosion.
Looking at the density and intensity of the explosion, there must be at least two hundred 155mm caliber howitzers!
Not to mention the Air Force and Tanks, at least in terms of artillery firepower, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has already formed a crushing advantage over their Myanmar condemnation army, which is completely different.
Otsuki Kenji sighed lightly and said, "The 1st Guard Division just organized the guard engineers, guard cavalry, guard baggage soldiers and guard artillery auxiliary soldiers, and launched a long live charge, and the result..."
In the next half of the sentence, Kenji Otsuki did not say it, but ended up hitting the artillery group of the National Army.
It is completely imagined that what is the situation now for thousands of auxiliary soldiers and technical troops of the 1st Guard Division?
The shell fell, which was a large pit with a diameter of dozens of meters. The Japanese soldiers within the explosion range would be torn to pieces in an instant, leaving their bodies unseen!
Amid the rumbling sound of cannons and the rolling flames, Mutaguchi Ryokawa seemed to see one Japanese soldier after another running in the smoke of gunpowder, and then they were chopped up by the high-speed bomb fragments and torn apart by the air waves generated by the explosion.
In just a few minutes, hundreds of brave imperial soldiers had turned into remains after remains.
The scene was more than just a tragic situation? Thinking of it, Ren Mudaguchi was already in tears.
For no reason, a burst of anger surged in Mudaguchi's heart.
"It's all my fault for Mijiro Umezu!"
"It's all his fault!"
...
"don't want!"
"Don't kill me!"
"Help, help!"
A shrill call for help sounded, and the closed hatch door opened with a bang.
Then a dim light shone in, and then the adjutant Shimazu Mi also walked in.
"Your Excellency General!" Shimazumi smiled and said, "Are you having a nightmare again?"
Looking at Shimazu Mi with a sneering face, Mijiro Umezu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Now even his adjutant dares to humiliate him like this? It's really too much!
But the next second, Umezu Mijiro fell down like a deflated ball.
A phoenix with hair peeling off is not as good as a chicken. Who made him lose the Myanmar Battle?
If you lose, you lose. If you have the courage to end your life in the form of a warrior, you can at least protect your honor. Unfortunately, he really doesn't have the courage to commit suicide by separatism.
He really tried that day, but when the tip of the knife cut into his abdomen, he immediately retreated.
Because he couldn't bear the pain, and even more so the huge fear that the sharp blade had not yet entered his body. He really couldn't bear the torture of that fear.
So he would rather return to his country to be tried in a military court.
After sighing, Mejiro Umezu asked in a low voice: "Shimazu-kun, how is the Burmese condemnation army now?"
Shimazumi said: "Thank you, General, your blessing, the left-wing cluster and central cluster of the Myanmar condemnation army are already in a desperate situation. Although the right-wing cluster is making every effort to rescue, the results are not ideal."
He paused for a moment and continued: "If there was no miracle, more than 300,000 imperial soldiers from the 16 divisions of the left wing and the central cluster would be doomed."
Umezu Mijiro sighed.
...
Bangkok, Myanmar sends the interim headquarters of the condemnation army.
The Myanmar delegation's chief of staff of the condemnation army, Hitaro Kimura, and Deputy Chief of Staff, Qin Yansanro and his party have retreated to Bangkok and have established a temporary command center in the Japanese Embassy in Bangkok.
Communications consultants continue to submit the latest battle report.
"Reported that the 1st Guard Division urgently fired, and the 1st Guard Brigade has been collectively broken."
"Report that the 39th infantry registrar to the 10th Division was attacked by a small group of Chinese troops near Menglan."
"Reported, the 28th Army Command urgently called, and when they were retreating from Binmana to Klau, they were attacked by an infantry division of the Chinese army!"
"Report, 29th Army Report..."
Looking at the battle reports sent back from the front, Kimura Hitoro's heart felt like he was being tortured in a oil pan.
Until now, the situation has become very obvious. A huge encirclement against the central cluster of the Myanmar condemnation army is taking shape rapidly, while reinforcements from the right-wing cluster have not arrived yet.
This is not what makes Kimura Hitotaro the most desperate.
What made Kimura Hitotaro feel most desperate was that even if two reinforcement divisions of the right wing cluster arrived, it was afraid that it would be impossible to rescue the 12 divisions of the central cluster.
Because for the Chinese Expeditionary Force that was rushing from all directions, for the Chinese Expeditionary Force with more than 200 heavy artillery, more than 1,000 tanks and thousands of combat aircraft, the reinforcements of the only two divisions in the right-wing cluster were simply a drop in the bucket and could not afford a single wave.
Reason tells him that he should stop the loss in time at this time.
But emotionally, he was unable to make such a decision.
Because he really couldn't watch the three armies of the central cluster, 12 divisions were surrounded and annihilated by the Chinese! These were 12 divisions and more than 200,000 imperial soldiers!
When did the Great Japanese Imperial Army suffer such a crushing defeat?
When did the Great Japanese Empire suffer such a crushing defeat?
"Qin Yanjun, am I a coward?" Kimura Hitotaro suddenly said to Qin Yansanro, "At this moment, I didn't have the courage to stay with the more than 200,000 imperial troops in the central cluster, but ran to Bangkok early?"
"How could you be a coward?" Qin Yansanlang said, "Even if there is a coward, it will only be that person."
"That person..." Kimura Hitotaro's face suddenly darkened, and he said, "You can't mention this shameful coward again!"
Qin Yansanlang said again: "Your Excellency the Chief of Staff, there is a saying that you don't know whether to say it or not?"
Kimura Hitaro knew what Qin Yansanro wanted to say, but he simply wanted to persuade him to give up the rescue of the central cluster and protect the two divisions of the right-wing cluster as much as possible.
Kimura Hitaro could only remain silent.
Qin Yansanlang said to himself: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, you should stop and suffer the trouble!"
Kimura Hitaro's face changed again and again. After a while, he finally made up his mind and gritted his teeth and said, "Order the 30th Army to give up the rescue immediately, don't care about the Myanmar battlefield anymore, and retreat at full speed from the Thai-Myanmar border!"
"Hayi!" Qin Yansanlang paused his head heavily.
