Duiduo is a small town southeast of Tonggu, less than 100 kilometers away from Tonggu. If you drive, it will only take more than two hours for support!
Dai Anlan thought about how to place these soldiers. According to the telegram, there must be some seriously injured soldiers. They are all soldiers under his command. It goes without saying that they must be treated as soon as possible. Even if the injuries are not serious, they must be treated as soon as possible.
The injury still needs to be treated.
Dai Anlan waved his hand, that's all, let them go to the rear to heal their injuries earlier. However, the telegram said that they had found sufficient supplies themselves and did not need his support. This also made Dai Anlan feel relieved. More than 1,000 people,
He still felt very distressed. If he hadn't been tricked by the British...
Thinking of this, Dai Anlan got a headache.
The troops from the rear have not come so quickly, so he and the Japanese 55th Division have not yet fought, and they are just facing off. There are advantages and disadvantages to the confrontation, but for him, it is mostly the advantages, because at present
Generally speaking, before the follow-up troops arrive, the idea of encircling and annihilating the Japanese can only be a fantasy.
As for the Japanese army, they are waiting for the mobilization of the ambush troops. As long as the ambush troops are in place, they will immediately launch an attack on Tonggu and lure other Allied troops to come for reinforcements. As long as all the supporting troops are defeated, the troops in Tonggu will also be defeated.
It will almost become a turtle in their urn. Then, all the combat intentions of the British and Chinese teams in Myanmar will be defeated, and Myanmar will fall into the hands of Japan.
Both sides are planning this battle.
The confrontation behind closed doors is not weak at all. Although everything is stable in the country, there are many things going on underground, not to mention in Myanmar.
On the same day, another Japanese army set off from Yangon and headed towards Naypyitaw. At this time, Naypyitaw was not the capital of Myanmar yet. It was less than 100 kilometers away from Thonggu, and this distance was less than 100 kilometers.
The distance is great, but it is a good place to ambush allied support troops.
…
"Your Majesty the Head of State, this is the situation on the battlefield in Myanmar."
The short man took the document and read it, "The Japanese are doing pretty well, so the empire must work harder in the Soviet Union!"
"Yes, Your Excellency the Head of State, but although the warriors of the empire encountered certain setbacks in Moscow, now, the Soviets' several counterattacks have been beaten back by the warriors, and the Soviets have suffered heavy losses. Wait until
When the weather gets warmer and we organize a few more attacks, I believe we will be able to capture the Soviet Union soon."
"very good."
…
Japan, Tokyo.
"Tojo-kun, do you have anything important to report?" Emperor Showa's life has been very comfortable recently. Most of the news coming from the battlefield is good news. Occasionally, there are one or two that are not so good, but it doesn't matter. After all,
There are also victories and losses on the battlefield. Winning and losing are, after all, common things for military strategists.
"Hi! On the battlefield in Burma, the Southern Army proposed a strategy of encirclement and reinforcements. I feel that maybe it won't be long before Burma will be under the control of the empire." Tojo Hideki smiled.
"Really? I heard that there is a Burmese named Aung San who has been working for our Empire of Japan?"
"Hi!"
"What happens to the troops the Empire now recruits in Southeast Asia?"
"Everything goes well! However, there is still some resistance from British and American troops in Southeast Asia, but I believe it will be settled soon. By then, the number of troops raised will probably surprise His Majesty."
"Yoshi, do you have enough equipment?"
"Hey! There were a lot of seizures on the battlefield, but it's not enough. The Empire still has a surplus of Type 38 rifles."
"Well, we must control the direction of these troops! We must not let them bite back."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured!"
…
On March 17, Japanese reinforcements arrived at the scheduled location. The Japanese 55th Division began to attack Tonggu.
Dai Anlan frowned as he listened to the sound of gunfire outside the headquarters. He didn't know why it took several days for the Japanese to start attacking, but his premonition was not very good.
Now that the Japanese army has begun to attack, he can only passively defend. Speaking of which, in terms of combat effectiveness, he is still lagging behind the Japanese army.
The Japanese 55th Division surrounded almost three sides of Tonggu, leaving only the north side of Tonggu. Obviously, the Japanese were also afraid that if they surrounded the north side, the Allies would make dumplings. This was Dai Anlan's view. But he didn't know that this
It was specially left by the Japanese.
On the outer position of Tonggu, there was constant sound of gunfire.
In the same ancient town, Aung San began to constantly contact some residents who were already troubled, or contact some Burmese people who were suppressed by the British army, and prepared to unite. Once the Japanese army notified him of the plan, he would
He would help the Japanese army capture Tonggu's national army as quickly as possible. Although this kind of thing had been done more than once, every time, Aung San felt that the battle was full of battle! Because every time, he felt that he could get closer.
to achieve your goals.
Of course, Aung San acted very carefully. He did not want to be discovered by the national army, and he was not alone.
…
Only when Zhou Weiguo received the telegram did he know that the Japanese had finally launched an attack.
"Three days later?" Zhou Weiguo frowned and thought for a while. He always felt that the Japanese were a little strange. It was understandable that they did not launch an attack on the first day they arrived. If they didn't want the national army to wait for work, they would have to start fighting on the second day, right? The result
Well, the Japs had delayed the fight until today, which had to make him suspect that the Japs had some plans.
Then, when he thought about why the first expedition ended up in that situation, he suddenly reacted! The Japanese wanted to directly cut off the connection between the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army and other units behind them, or perhaps
, we must encircle the point for reinforcements! In real history, the expeditionary force always thought that the frontal enemy was only one division of the Japanese army, but the fact is that there were originally two divisions, and later the Japanese mobilized two more divisions for reinforcements, and now
, the Japanese 55th Division surrounded Tonggu. Obviously, the Japanese from other places must be ambushing elsewhere.
Then, there must be an ambush or conspiracy in this attack! Therefore, at this time, it is urgent to know the direction of action of other Japanese troops!
"Shengzi, send a message to the special operations team and ask them if they have found any Japanese troops anywhere other than Tonggu!" Zhou Weiguo now felt that it was a wise move for him to disperse all the special operations teams. Otherwise,
I was really going to be caught blind in Myanmar! After all, the British were unreliable and had no accurate sources of intelligence, so all their assumptions were blind! If they were used by the Japanese, it would be even more blind!
"Yes!" After hearing this, Zhao Sheng began to operate.
Zhou Weiguo's face darkened, he quietly waited for the news, began to think about the situation, and looked at the map.
If the Japanese have other ideas, what kind of ideas should the Japanese have? Should they attack Tonggu from other places? Or should they use Tonggu's fifth army as bait?
