Zhou Weiguo regretted this ambush, but in this era, there was really no way to compare the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army and the Japanese army.
"Master, what should we do this time?" Zhao Sheng asked Zhou Weiguo. It was a good opportunity for an ambush to end up like this. No one expected it. The battle damage has not been reported yet, but it will definitely not look good.
As Zhou Weiguo's intelligence compiler for the expeditionary force, Zhao Sheng knew the current situation very well. The Fifth Army and the Sixth Army had withdrawn to Tonggu, surrounded by two Japanese divisions. Among these two divisions, there was another
It is a mechanized division of the Japanese, with powerful firepower and well-equipped equipment. But the expeditionary force has a long front and a shortage of supplies. The British army has been slow to deliver the supplies it promised! Even though their prime minister agreed! Not only that, the British army also
Lagging behind everywhere! To be honest, Zhao Sheng is not optimistic about this expedition at all, he is too anxious!
Zhou Weiguo tapped his fingers on the table. In fact, today is already March 20th. If there are no accidents, in more than a month at most, this first expedition will end in the failure of the Allies. Originally, Zhou Weiguo felt that there was
If you seize the opportunity a few times, you can gain an advantage. But the ideal is very full, the reality is very skinny.
It is too late to transfer troops from the independent division, and no one will allow it. If the independent division transfers troops, Britain and the United States will agree, but the national army will not agree. If this happens, it will be a slap in the face of the national army. In front of Britain and the United States,
Zhou Weiguo didn't want them to think that China was not united. Although, at this time, the conflicts between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were getting deeper and deeper.
After sighing, Zhou Weiguo said, "It depends on the situation. If the Fifth Army and the Sixth Army can severely inflict heavy losses on the Japs surrounding them, then this expedition and the rest of the fight will probably be the same if they are unable to do so.
"
Zhao Sheng was also slightly silent. He knew what Zhou Weiguo meant, but with the fight like this, they had always been spectators and felt a little unwilling to do so.
Zhou Weiguo patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!"
"Um."
War is complicated, because at this time, what is being fought is not just troops and equipment, but also more politics. Multi-national alliances, involving interests, are very complicated. In the early days of the Pacific War, the United Kingdom fought in the form of "Sino-British"
It was not until February 1942 that the British realized that their own strength alone could not guarantee the security of Myanmar, and asked the Chinese army to enter Myanmar to fight. Many things, until they realized
By the time it arrives, it is too late. What's more, the strategy of Britain and the United States has always been to put Europe first and then Asia. If the expeditionary force could enter Burma earlier to deploy defenses, no matter what the results of the inspection team were, the expeditionary force would have a greater share of the territory at this moment.
Many advantages.
The Chinese army, good at defending, was also forced out.
Although after the July 7th Incident, the national army almost retreated while fighting in the early days and never really defended it, every time it defended, it also caused huge casualties to the Japanese. This is really different from the British army.
The difference is huge.

"I heard that over in Burma, the Chinese planned to ambush the imperial army?" Emperor Showa squinted his eyes and looked at the sunshine in the distance. They were about to realize their "**** circle" plan, and there was still a lot to go.
, just a few places.
"Hey! However, the warriors gave the Chinese soldiers a counterattack, and they were simply vulnerable." Hideki Tojo smiled, "Now, the war in Myanmar should be coming to an end."
"Yoshi! Let the warriors speed up! The empire's ***** circle is about to be successfully built!"
"Hi!"
"However, the situation of our ally, Germany, seems not to be very good!" Emperor Showa was now in a joking mood. Originally, it was Germany that was triumphing all the way in Europe, but they failed to keep up. Now, it is they who are triumphing all the way in Southeast Asia, and Germany is on the contrary.
Stumped by the Soviet Union.
"Hey! However, Germany's army and equipment should still have an advantage! If Germany slows down a little, it should be able to gain the advantage again!"
They are very confident about Germany and do not think Germany will fail.
"Hahaha, how was the previous negotiation with Britain?" Emperor Showa raised his eyebrows. Although the negotiation was to confuse the British, if possible, he also hoped to force Britain to surrender. Therefore, after confusing Britain,
The person in charge of the negotiations did not leave the UK, but continued to stay in London, visiting high-level officials in the UK, hoping to induce them to surrender.
"It's still in progress. For now, there are still high-level British officials who are interested." Tojo Hideki said, "I think if the Empire ends the war in Burma, more people will turn to the Empire.
"
"Yoshi, let's end the war in Myanmar as soon as possible!"
"Hi!"
Emperor Showa thought that a hundred years ago, Japan was still in the era of the last shogunate, the Tokugawa shogunate. The Tokugawa shogunate, which held great power, implemented a "closing policy" to the outside world, prohibiting foreign missionaries, businessmen and civilians from entering Japan, and also not allowing foreigners to enter Japan.
When the Japanese returned home, they were even prohibited from building ships suitable for ocean navigation. During this period, trade with China, Korea, the Netherlands and other countries was only allowed, and only in Nagasaki. In addition, the Tokugawa Shogunate also strictly prohibited the spread of Christianity.
The Qing government at that time was so similar. Immediately afterwards, the black ships attacked! The warships of the United States, Britain, the Netherlands and France bombarded Shimonoseki (Shimonoseki War), and the British fleet attacked the Satsuma Domain (Satan-British War)! The history with China is also too much.
Similar!
Therefore, Emperor Meiji became empress and decided to make changes and learn from the West! In the past hundred years, Japan has achieved its current achievements!
"The empire will return the shame of a hundred years ago! It will be honored again! There will be no more black ship incidents in the future!"
"Hi!" Obviously, Tojo Hideki knew that Emperor Showa was thinking of a series of changes before the Meiji Restoration. If Britain and the United States had not bombarded their country with huge artillery, I am afraid that at this time, they would still be the same as China. However,
The Meiji Restoration was not thorough! This is something the Japanese are unwilling to admit! In their view, the Meiji Restoration was a great success!
"Tōjo-kun! Work hard! History will remember you and me!"
"Hi!"
…
On March 21, the Japanese 55th Division and the 56th Division launched a fierce attack on Tonggu's Fifth and Sixth Army.
"Master! The Japs' attacks suddenly became very fierce! Much more fierce than the past few days!"
"Well, call for air force support! Let our air force go up and sneak around! Give the Japanese some color!"
"yes!"
So, at Tonggu Airport, dozens of fighter planes took off! Not far away, there were also nearly 200 fighter planes flying in from a distance! Soon, they will meet!
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the Chinese fighter plane!"
"I saw it! Once the empire's fighter planes knock them all down, you'll know how powerful they are!"
