The Fifth Army was on its way north to Tonggu. This battle was a frustrating one. Most of the soldiers were very angry and naturally did not have a good look towards the British soldiers.
The British soldiers also knew that what they did was a bit stupid. If it weren't for them, Yangon would not have fallen. Facing the attitude of the national soldiers, they had nothing to say. You will always have to bear the responsibility for the wrong things you do.
But now that I think about it, why were I so stupid at that time and fell into the Japanese scheme? I was also eager for revenge. I can only eat this bitter pill myself.
"Master, it will take at least two days for us to get to Tonggu."
Dai Anlan nodded, with a serious look on his face, "The Japanese didn't chase us, so we have plenty of time."
"When we get to Tonggu, combine with the local British troops in Tonggu and use them as a backup supply team." Someone suggested.
Although Dai Anlan wanted to nod, the British army still wanted to save face, so he could only shake his head, "Don't make trouble at this point, you still have to read the meaning above."
To be honest, in the Battle of Rangoon, the Fifth Army lost nearly 5,000 people. Of course, this does not mean that there were so many casualties, but including the wounded. This was almost the casualty of a major war. If it were not for the British,
Of course there wouldn't be so many casualties.
"Eh!" The proposer sighed. He really couldn't bear to see the British army anymore.
In such a battle, the military can't unite in one place, which is really dangerous. However, the British army is the British army, and the national army is the national army. As long as the British army does not hold back, Dai Anlan feels that it is good.
Originally, Dai Anlan and others, including the soldiers of the expeditionary force, had certain expectations for the British army. Britain is a strong country, and your army should also be a strong one.
Of course, the British troops stationed in Myanmar are not elite. Most of them are locals from Myanmar and lack training. Their combat effectiveness is naturally far inferior to that of the British army. But such combat effectiveness is enough to embarrass the British army.

"Your Majesty, Yangon has been captured." Tojo Hideki handed Emperor Showa a telegram, "And a large amount of supplies and more than 100 million gallons of oil have been obtained!"
"Hahaha! Yossi! That's great! You did a good job this time!" Emperor Showa said with satisfaction, "So much oil! Haha, let's see what the Americans can do!"
"Hi! It's really good!"
"The credit for this time must be recorded for them! The rewards in the future must be generous!"
"Hi!"
"The Dutch army in the Indonesian Islands also surrendered!" Hideki Tojo continued with a smile.
"Hahaha! Good!"
"However, yesterday we suffered a counterattack from the United States and seven transport ships were blown up."
Emperor Showa nodded. Although the progress in Southeast Asia is gratifying, our main target is still the Americans! The empire's navy must contain the U.S. navy. Otherwise, once the U.S. navy reacts, the empire's goal will be empty talk.
!”
"Hi! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, whether it is the navy or the army, they will dedicate themselves to the goal of the empire, even to the death!"
"Yoshi! As long as there are enough supplies, the empire can mobilize countless troops! Especially in Southeast Asia! I believe that the people in Southeast Asia will also understand the empire's goals! And work together for it!"
"Hi! The imperial army has been welcomed in Southeast Asia. I will send people to handle this matter! Pull out the troops as soon as possible! Take the cause of the empire to a higher level!"
"We must work hard to handle this matter! There are only so many people in the empire. If we lose more, the empire will not be able to bear it. After all, population is the foundation of a country!"
"Hi! Please rest assured, Your Majesty! This team will see results in the near future!" Hideki Tojo bowed to Emperor Showa again. Yes, at least, they still have an advantage on the Pacific battlefield! And it is a huge advantage.
! As long as they keep it up, it may not be impossible for them to win! By then, the Pacific region will be centered on their Great Japanese Empire! By then, they will have gained countless glory!
This is not too difficult to implement in Southeast Asia.
Because Britain and the United States were too ruthless when they colonized Southeast Asia.
Many Southeast Asian countries regard the Japanese as their saviors.
Recruiting troops in Southeast Asia is relatively simple! What's more, they have no shortage of supplies now!
…
News of Yangon reached the headquarters, and Zhou Weiguo was helpless.
Sometimes, the inertia of history really left him with no choice. Even though he had arrived in Yangon, and he had been reminded countless times that the British could not be trusted, he still failed.
"Master, this is the telegram sent back by Third Brother and the others." Zhao Sheng handed Zhou Weiguo a pile of telegrams.
Zhou Weiguo took it and began to read it. He also had a more comprehensive understanding of yesterday's war. The Japanese took advantage of the British army's eagerness for revenge and used a little trick, and the British were fooled. It doesn't matter if the British were fooled.
, they rushed out behind the national army, leading the soldiers of the expeditionary force in front of the position to think that a general attack was launched. This was a trap. After all, it was still the British soldiers who were to blame.
Today is the time when the Fifth Army retreats to Tonggu, so there are not too many things going on in the headquarters. After a meeting, it dispersed. Then Zhou Weiguo began to think about how to reverse the current situation.
To be honest, the current situation is really not what Zhou Weiguo wants to see. He has provided equipment to the Fifth Army more than once. The 200 Division sent a batch and Du Yuming bought a batch. The result is still like this, which is indeed quite good.
Unexpectedly.
I originally thought that it should be foolproof.
Sighing, Zhou Weiguo spread out the map and began to mark the news he knew. The Japanese invaded Myanmar by climbing over the mountains on the border of Thailand and Myanmar, rather than landing in Singapore or other places.
This was something that many generals did not expect. Therefore, the Japanese got Moulmein with little effort, and the Burmese people welcomed them...
Zhou Weiguo sighed again, there are some things that cannot be changed by human power. At least, the Southeast Asian people's views on the Japanese army cannot be changed at all. Many people think that the Japanese army is here to rescue them.
Tonggu, Yangon.
Zhou Weiguo first drew a line on the map with a pencil, and then marked the strength of the British army guards in the surrounding cities and the strength of the Japanese army near Yangon. Then he began to add the messages sent back by the special forces soldiers on the map, carefully and carefully
Focus.
…
The Fifth Army continued to walk north. Behind the Fifth Army, further away, there were three people slowly following.
"Captain, is this how Yangon will be given to the Japanese?"
"Then what can be done?" Liu San asked back, "The Burmese people in Yangon City are against the British army. In other words, in the next battle, our soldiers not only have to fight against the Japs, but also have to guard against the Burmese people."
"But those British guys are really a bit too..."
"Is it too useless?" Liu San smiled, "After all, this is not a regular British army. Many of the soldiers are Burmese. Their training is poor and their equipment is inferior. It does not represent the British army."
