Chapter 709: The Unlucky British (Part 1)

It was very obvious that the 18th Division of the Japanese Army and the 4th Division alternately covered the cover. The two troops did not care about the safety of their left and right wings at all. They were abnormally evil. Perhaps the excited British people were eager to beat the dog in pain, and they seemed to have not noticed that the Japanese army was resisting step by step without any confusion.

However, for the Fourth Division and the 18th Division, it is not easy to lure the enemy into depth. Mudaguchi Ryoya and Toshinaka Taro also have their own small plans. Toshinaka Taro, who personally commanded the troops to fight, also discovered the huge gap between theory and practice. The fierce attack and tenacious defense of the Chinese Expeditionary Force left an indelible impression on him. For the Chinese Expeditionary Force, even with sufficient ammunition, it is not new to attack the masses with a small number of attacks.

Especially the demise of the Sixth Division left more shocking to Toshinaga Taro. The predecessor of the Sixth Division was Kumamoto's vassal state. The ferocity of its samurai was famous in Japan in all the shogunate wars. In the Meiji Restoration Hsinchu Tingyama Battle, one hundred samurai still stubbornly fought against 3,000 new troops, killing more than 300 enemies, and using cold weapons to fight single-shot rifles to conduct a large-scale field battle? Kumamoto's samurai is also one of the most ruthless characters in Japan. Now such a ruthless character has been made by the Chinese Expeditionary Force. It is said that there is no survivor, and all the heads of everyone were cut down to form Kyoto. This is a unique way for Chinese warriors to show off their martial arts and merits.

The warriors of the Sixth Division are still like this. The Osaka vendors who commanded themselves faced the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had more firepower than their own. I am afraid that Osaka would be like Kumamoto overnight, and every family would be hanging white-style souls to summon the souls, but those Kumamoto's headless ghosts could not return to their hometown.

Toshina Taro wanted to preserve his strength, while Mudaguchi Renya wanted to be unique in defeat and show his extraordinary ability. In contrast, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division seemed much happier, while the officers and soldiers of the 18th Division always had to resist the fierce attack of the British pursuers. Yamashita Fengfu set the number of kilometers to retreat every day for the two divisions, and asked the navy to provide assistance to send warships and transport ships. In fact, what was transporting was materials and supplementary soldiers, indicating that the British were prepared for the Japanese army to retreat in full.

Yamashita Fengfu stood in his command center. This extremely simple command center was set up in a dense forest. Yamashita Fengfu was staring at the three-way British army on the map. Yamashita Fengfu judged that the so-called unified and coordinated command between the British pursuers must have no effect, because so far, the three-way British pursuers were almost fighting on their own, and they rarely cooperated in combat. There were even gaps between the three troops from more than ten to more than thirty roads?

When he retreated, he sold a clear flaw to Gao Fei's Chinese Expeditionary Force. He wanted to induce Gao Fei to eat the broken 18th Division and the 4th Division in one bite. Gao Fei was unmoved at all, that was, he did not take the initiative, nor did he pursue it. The tactical arrangements of the Chinese Expeditionary Force were often far beyond Yamashita Fengwen's expectations. Yamashita Fengwen did not believe that anyone in this world could predict it. In private, Yamashita Fengwen also admitted that Gao Fei was indeed a very difficult enemy to deal with. He was an excellent strategic and tactician. He could get such an evaluation from Yamashita Fengwen, who had always been arrogant. Gao Fei didn't know whether he should be happy or angry.

Since the Chinese Expeditionary Force did not take the bait, Yamashita Fengwen could only give the pursuit British troops a head-on attack according to the prior combat plan, and boldly interweave them using the battle gap between the British troops, use Abe Questui's mountain troops to cut off the British troops' retreat, completely annihilate the British troops' pursuit troops, and gain a foothold in the Bay of Bengal, and once again plan to fight the battle to attack India's hinterland.

April 29, 1942 was a very dull day for Gao Fei. The Chinese Expeditionary Force was ready to set off and return to Myanmar, because the news kept coming from the front that the Japanese army dispatched three aircraft carriers including Kaga, Longxiang, and cooperated with four battleships and a large number of light cruisers and destroyers, and seemed to be preparing to retreat in real time against the main Japanese forces in the Bay of Bengal.

According to the reconnaissance report of the Sino-US Joint Air Force, the Japanese fighter jets' deportation of Allied reconnaissance aircraft almost reached the edge of their active combat radius, and the loading and unloading of Japanese transport ships was almost done at night, while the fleets swam in the sea during the day, which seems to be somewhat inconsistent with the large-scale retreat. British intelligence agencies believe that the Japanese are deliberately creating illusions, and the Japanese army has begun to take action in the Far East, so the Japanese army's battle with India in Southeast Asia, especially Myanmar, should come to an end.

Judging from Japan's military strength and the comprehensive national strength, the Japanese did not have enough strength to deal with three large-scale battles at the same time in the two major battlefields of the north and south and the Chinese battlefield. Especially at this moment, China's frontal battlefield and the battlefield behind enemy lines have completely opened up. Wuhan has become a meat grinder for the Chinese and Japanese armies. From Northeast China to North China, Japanese troops were frequently attacked everywhere. It can be said that the counterattack of the frontal battlefield of the Chinese army effectively restrained the Japanese army's vital forces and consumed a large amount of Japanese material reserves.

However, this time, the British seemed to have miscalculated. They were confused by the illusion indicated by the Japanese, or the British did not understand the Japanese at all. Although the Japanese had been a dog-legged for the British for decades and then for the Americans for decades, the British and Americans could be said to have no idea about the Japanese country and its national characteristics. The British thought that they surrendered to 30,000 Japanese troops in Singapore, and now the Japanese will surrender to them. This became a convention in the war, and captured officers could also enjoy class treatment, etc.
