"Division Commander, calm down. Didn't Commander Du say he has any countermeasures? In such a big battle, we can't rely entirely on our 200 divisions, right?" Chief of Staff Lu looked at Commander Dai longingly.
Commander Dai walked around the sand table a few times, looked at the roof beams above his head, and then at the sand table in front of him. Then he stopped and stared at the sand table for a long time before he said, "We are all counting on Sun Liren's new 38th Division."
Already."
"The New 38th Division?" A staff officer approached the sand table, "Division Commander, the New 38th Division is still in Myitkyina. It has to be rushed over several hundred kilometers. They are not yet a motorized infantry division, and their equipment is far worse than our 200th Division.
It’s hard to say how fast the advance was. It was just a matter of luck that we arrived. The strength of one Japanese division might not have been able to break the siege, but instead we were surrounded again by the Japanese.”
"Excuse me, what do you think we should do? The entire strategic layout has not yet been formed. A large number of troops are still in Lashio. They have just left the country and there is no time to transport heavy equipment. Now it is up to our 200 Division to hold the center line. Commander Du is also a dead horse.
It’s a waste of time.” Mr. Dai said helplessly.
"Division commander, the top priority is, what should we do with the 200th Division? Should we continue to stick to Tonggu as ordered by the headquarters?" asked another staff officer.
"Commander Du ordered that the 200 Division continue to stick to Tonggu, make final efforts to build the strategic pattern, and implement the order." Commander Dai said without doubt.
"Yes!" the brothers replied neatly and firmly.
At this moment, Lengrenren became a very busy man, not busy opening fire on the Japanese, but busy reporting to Commander Du the changing battle positions of the Japanese 33rd Division.
When a squadron of the Japanese army approached the city of Pyai, a main division of the British-Burmese army actually lost most of its baggage and fled, leaving Pyai easily to the Japanese army of three to four hundred people. Not only did the Japanese army successfully occupy Pyai,
No, they also seized, no, just picked up a large amount of strategic materials and tanks and armored vehicles everywhere.
Leng Ren, who was scouting outside the city, couldn't bear it anymore. He wished he could lead his reconnaissance team to defend Pyai City, because Leng Ren knew that the fall of Pyai would open up the strategic layout of the Western Front, and the next one would suffer.
The Ren'an Qiang are attacking, or will be abandoned by the British and Burmese troops. According to the general retreat of the British and Burmese troops, the Ren'an Qiang may not be able to defend the British and Burmese troops for even half a day. By that time, the Japanese army is completely
Pushing forward vigorously without any resistance and occupying the entire western front, the 200 Division will face the dilemma of being surrounded by two Japanese divisions.
Of course, Lengrenren didn't know it yet, and with the Japanese 56th Division on the eastern front advancing rapidly in the jungle, the 200th Division must be besieged on all sides.
"Battal Commander, should we follow the vanguard squadron of the Japanese army, or what should we do?" Adjutant Li asked.
Leng Lengren sat on the ground, cold sweat broke out on his forehead. The national army always looked down on the New Fourth Army and the Eighth Route Army for its poor equipment, uneven personnel, and lack of officers from regular military schools. However, not only did they achieve a great victory at Pingxingguan as soon as they sent out troops, but they also
It was able to deal with the Japanese army behind enemy lines for a long time, and restrained a large number of Japanese troops. It actually killed Abe Norihide, the so-called famous general of the Japanese army, in the Taihang Mountains. It was even able to organize a large-scale battle against the Japanese army such as the Hundred Regiments War. But what about our national army?
The Battle of Songhu was defeated, the capital was lost in the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Wuhan was fought with some success, but still failed. Thanks to General Zhang Zizhong's refusal to retreat even before his death, the Battle of Zaoyi managed to achieve a strategic stalemate. Alas, now one hundred thousand
The army went abroad for an expedition, and the formations were not even deployed yet. The bullshit Allied British and Burmese troops retreated all the way. They completely used the strategic deployment of the Allied Army General Headquarters as a shield for their own escape. It's over, it's over. The mighty expedition abroad is so funny.
I'm afraid a retreat is not far away.
"Batalion Commander, a telegram from Commander Du." Adjutant Li handed Leng Lengren the telegram.
Leng Renren took a look at the telegram, paid close attention to the real-time movements of the main force of the Japanese 33rd Division, and promptly reported it to the headquarters.
