Three days, three full days.

After the Japanese 56th Division surrounded the same Gu, the 200th Division did not receive a telegram for retreat until the third day.

Although it could be said that it was a delay in the fight, and the 56th Division of the Japanese Army had enough time to build a fortification organization during this period, Dai Anlan was relieved, because if the retreat order was not brought down, the battle between the ancient times was likely to be the last battle of the 200th Division.

In the past few days, Dai Anlan and his subordinates have even written the suicide note, but now it seems that there is still a glimmer of hope.

Of course, the leaders of the group attending the meeting were all relieved. At this time, they were either bloodshot in their eyes or cannon fodder on their faces. Obviously, these three days were not easy.

But this is not surprising. You should know that they are facing four times the Japanese troops, and they also have heavy artillery from the Japanese planes and heavy artillery. It would be strange if they can survive.

"This is the situation!" Amid the sound of artillery, Dai Anlan pointed to the map on the wall with his baton and said: "The main British army in the west had already evacuated three days ago. The 56th Division of the Japanese army followed the British retreat and occupied the Yangman Railway all the way. At this time, it had occupied the important land on the west side, and the troops were a large brigade. To the north, the Japanese army arranged a corps of troops on the Yangman Highway north of Keyonggang Airport. To the east, the main force of the 56th Division was, and there were two corps of troops distributed on the line of Sedanghe to defend the river."

Speaking of this, Dai Anlan looked around at the officers under his seat. Obviously, he wanted to see what his subordinates had and which direction should the 200th Division choose to break through.

"I think the breakout in the west is the most unfeasible!" Staff Liang stood up and said, "The British army retreated too quickly in the west, and a large number of fortifications fell into the hands of the Japanese army intact. In addition, the Japanese army strengthened in the past few days, it is almost impossible to chew it in a short period of time. Moreover, there is the 33rd Japanese division in the west that continues to pursue the British army. They can turn around and block us at any time. Therefore, although the Japanese army in the west is not large, it is extremely difficult to break out."

The officers couldn't help but nodded. At this time, the 33rd Division of the Japanese army had already pursued the British army for two days... The reason why the British army retreated for three days while the Japanese army only pursued for two days was because when the Japanese army pursued the Japanese army to the point of pursuing, they found a large amount of wine and whiskey in the warehouse. These were enjoyed by British officers and soldiers when they served in Myanmar. From this, we can also see how despicable the British army was. They transported not ammunition but various wines for enjoyment from the distant UK. It is not surprising that they showed such vulnerable combat effectiveness in Myanmar.

After the Japanese seized this batch of good wine, they could not bear it, so they let go of their courage to drink. The entire 33rd Division was drunk for a whole day and a night... The reason why the Japanese army dared to drink was because the British army was really vulnerable. At this time, the Japanese army had long been no longer considered the British army's combat target. Just as the Japanese army said, their march was chasing, which means that they didn't have to fight at all, just march, and they chased wherever they marched, and the British army's escape speed could not even catch up with the Japanese army.

Therefore, after pursuing the British army for two days and two nights, the 33rd Division of the Japanese army also marched at least dozens of kilometers behind Tonggu. If the expeditionary force breaks out from the west... even if it breaks out, it will plunge into a larger encirclement composed of the 33rd Division, 55th Division and 56th Division. At that time, it will probably be even more difficult to break out.

"It is not appropriate to break north!" Li Tongxiang said: "Although the Japanese army in the north only has one wing, this wing is deployed along the Yangman Highway. If our army breaks out from here, it will have to pull one mountain and one mountain along the highway. However, the Japanese army can exchange space for time to adopt alternating sports defense. At that time, our army will be dragged to death by the Japanese!"

What Li Tongxiang said about "alternating sports defense" refers to a very common defensive method on the battlefield. Simply put, it is to divide a unit into several parts, and several parts are built for alternate defense.

For example, the 113th Japanese Regiment in the north can be divided into three infantry brigades. These three brigades are arranged in advance according to the sequence of the first, second and third brigades. If our army attacks the defense line they have built, the Japanese army does not need to defend to the death. Instead, they retreat for a certain period of time, cross the other two defense lines behind them to build a new defense line in the rear, and repeat and continue to cycle... In this way, unless our army can destroy the Japanese army, they will not break through such a movement defense. And while our army is blocked, the Japanese army from other directions will be surrounded, and then our army will have only one dead end.

"Then it's only east!" Dai Anlan said.

"But to the east..." Li Tongxiang said hesitantly again: "It is the main force of the 56th Division of the Japanese army, with at least 10,000 troops. And we were still deployed along the Seed River, and our army broke through from the east... I am afraid that there will be a lot of casualties!"

There is no need to say much about this principle. First of all, the main force of the 56th Division represents two infantry corpses, one artillery corps and one engineer corps. If the baggage corpses follow up in time, there is also a baggage corps. Just count it, it will be much more powerful than the 200th Division.

Under normal circumstances, the 200th Division would not be afraid, but at this time the 200th Division had been fighting with the 55th Division of the Japanese Army for several days, and it could almost be said that it was exhausted from ammunition and food. At this time, the main force of the 56th Division was attacked and had to cross the Se Dang River, so the situation was not optimistic.

"Weizhi thinks it is best to break from the east!" Liang thought about it and stood up and said, "First of all, the Sedanghe area is the main force of the Japanese army, but because of this, the Japanese army would not have thought that we would choose this side to attack. Secondly, this Sedanghe River is long and long, and the Japanese army has many troops on this side but is relatively scattered. We can concentrate our superior forces to take their weak points and quickly break through. Again, after breaking through the eastern defense line, the Moltke Highway will be marching east for several miles. Once the encirclement is broken, our army can retreat to Pingmanna along the Moltke Highway."

"Yeah!" Dai Anlan nodded.

Liang's plan is feasible, but the focus is to concentrate superior forces to quickly break through in a short period of time. Otherwise, once surrounded by the Japanese army, the consequences will be unimaginable.
