After completely expelling the British troops from Burma, the Communist government established a national government in Malaya and Burma in order to establish a righteous image of itself as a national liberator. The main officials of the central and local governments at all levels were all Malayans.
The Bamar people took the post, established a nominal parliament, and began to formulate a constitution under the guidance of Communist Party advisors. This move was greatly welcomed by the indigenous people, and the two places gradually settled down.
With the help of the Japanese army, the Malayan government formed three divisions of the armed forces. The Burmese government had previously had an armed force that resisted the British army, the Independence Army. This time it expanded the army to eight divisions in one go.
Together with the ten divisions of the Lanyin Army, the ten divisions of the Siamese Army and the five divisions of the Indian Army, the number of puppet troops controlled by the Japanese army quickly expanded to thirty-six divisions.
The role of the puppet army is to defend the local area and defend the border with the Japanese army. Take the Myanmar puppet army as an example. In addition to continuing to occupy the central and northern areas of Myanmar, all the main forces have been deployed to the west of Mandalay and the Taunggyi area to defend against the Anjia Army.
possible attack.
Myanmar, Yangon.
It's the best season of the year, with flowers blooming under the blue sky, the weather being cool, and the breeze blowing in the face. In a large room in an inconspicuous two-story building by Lake Royal in the middle of the city,
A meeting is taking place concerning the future and destiny of Myanmar.
Bo Decha, commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Independence Army, stood in front of the unfolded map of Myanmar, holding a baton in his hand and said with a worried tone:
"The Shan State Plateau area was acquired from Chinese territory in various wars since the 22nd year of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. There is some controversy. However, after the British government and the Chinese government demarcated the boundary four years ago, although some areas are unresolved, in general
The border line between the two countries has been confirmed! But what happens now? Jingdong, Lashio, Mengyang, and Myitkyina have all been invaded and eroded by the Chinese army, taking advantage of the opportunity of the war between us and the British army. Our Mandalay is even more
Directly under threat!"
Having said this, Podcha glanced at everyone in the conference room with deep meaning: "Before this, we fought with the British and although we were more than willing to recover our homeland, we were unable to do so. But now the Communist Party has assembled four armies in Burma.
, just waiting for the results of the naval battle to be announced, the troops were sent to India. Together with the eight divisions of our independent army, they had an absolute advantage in terms of strength. The Chinese *** only deployed three divisions in northern Myanmar, and only one regiment in the front-line position.
, If we don’t take the opportunity to regain our territory now, how long will it take?”
"I have doubts!"
Dechen Tun Ou, who was supported by the Japanese army as chairman of Myanmar's central administrative body, stood up and said: "A week ago, I was invited to attend a joint military-civilian meeting held by Kenji Doihara, deputy chief of staff of the Japanese army base camp, in Singapore. This meeting reiterated the intention to attack India.
The proposition requires all military forces to exercise restraint, arbitrary military actions must be effectively controlled, and any situation that goes against the wishes of the base camp must never be allowed to occur again.
"Currently, British naval submarines are frequently attacking Japan's maritime transportation from Malacca to the Andaman Sea. According to Doihara Kenji, the Japanese Chief of Staff, General Kanji Ishihara, believes that oil tankers, cargo ships and merchant ships are the link between Japan's various battlefields.
, its importance is no different from that of each joint of the human body. If it is allowed to be disturbed, each part of the body will be like a seriously ill patient, and can be easily knocked down without the opponent spending much effort.
"In this case, the Japanese base camp suggested that the navy equipped the transport fleet responsible for shipping with a special expelble fleet and a small escort carrier modified by the merchant ship to escort, and it was used to form this practice.
In time, the main force of annihilating the British Navy in the Indian Ocean. Once the navy played, the army entered India and must not be pushed off with any excuses! If we initiate the northern Myanmar offensive at this time, *** people are not good at explanation! "
Wait for Deqin to swallow Ou, and the Deputy Commander of the Independence Army, De Qin, stood up politely and explained:
"The Renan Oilfield in Myanmar's most important oil production area is more than 100 kilometers southwest of Mandler. The Japanese army is actually afraid of the Chinese *** team.
It can be seen. If we are resolute when we are fighting, we can quickly defeat the guardian team on the front line, and we will definitely encourage the morale of the Japanese army.
The team's attack and chase, with the strength of the *** army in eliminating the British army's battle, we can calm down behind the Japanese army and recover the land. "
The Minister of the Internal Affairs Deqin was unsatisfactory and shook his head again and again: "It is not wise to pin the hope to the Japanese! As far as I know, the Japanese army gathered the main force of the two troops in Mandler.
Or Homalin, Lixi attacked India's Inpal area. The Japanese army's strategic deployment was very obvious. Before completely expelled the British army out of Asia, try not to provoke the powerful Anjia army!
"Yes, I know that everyone intentionally avoids this terrible word, and try to replace it with the Chinese *** team, but we must face the reality. We are facing the army in the general sense, but to defeat the Japanese and the British army.
The Anjia Army of the Soviet Army. The reason why we could persist in the confrontation with the British army in my Myanmar and Central Myanmar before, because we purchased weapons and ammunition from Anjiajun to make the British army do nothing, and the Anjia Army weapons and equipment were equipment and equipment.
The excellent, farther on us, can imagine how difficult it is a hard bone!
"Also, at the end of last year, Anjiajun gave the Japanese army a heavy blow on the Malay Peninsula. The heavy losses did not have the idea of revenge. Instead, all departments needed restraint. What does this show? Therefore, I am not optimistic about this initiative this time.
What kind of substantive effects will offensive! "
The Chief of Staff of the Independence Army: "The Platinist Plateau, the hills are dense, and the mechanized forces are very difficult to develop. The weapon advantage of the Anjiajun Army is not obvious. According to our investigation
The deployment of artillery! In addition, because the Japanese army was full of fear of the Anjia Army, we should pull the Japanese army into the war against Anjia Army as soon as possible. Taking advantage of the opportunities of the Japanese army's assembly, it provoked its war with the An family.
In this way, we have the hope of victory. Everyone may wish to think about it, once the offensive of India is launched, the number of Japanese troops that can be used in northern Myanmar will definitely decrease sharply. Only with our own strength, we want to recover the soil and difficult for the soil! "
"Maybe we can negotiate with the Nanjing government?"
The Minister of Agriculture Deqin Dandong said: "We are now an independent sovereign state. Although we have not yet obtained the recognition of the world, we have inherited all the rights and interests of Britain in British Myanmar. Since the British had signed with the Chinese government before
For documents with legal effects, why can the other party not observe? Can't we be able to defeat the soldiers without fighting? "
"Don't be so naive!"
Deqinnu, the director of the independent army's operations department, curled his lips: "We should recognize the reality and think about who is in charge of the southwestern region of China now! Our opponent is a fanatical expander who has invaded areas occupied by the French.
Annan and the independent country of Siam went north to occupy Japan and Central Asia, and are still sending troops to Afghanistan. Will such a person give up the territory he has swallowed?"
Podcha saw that the debate was very heated. After thinking about it, he decided to open up the issue: "Well, it seems that everyone is not very clear about the reality. Let me explain it! Many of us here have been trained in ***
Our original intention is to gain the independence of the country and nation with the help of the Communist Party of China. Don’t you deny this?"
Seeing everyone nodding, Bodecha continued: "Now that the British have been driven away, the conflict between us and the Japanese army has become acute. As early as last year, during the struggle with the British army, we organized the 'Free Burma'
The Administrative Council' is the administrative basis for our governance of Myanmar. The *** also recognized this before contacting us. But what is the situation now? Although the *** helped us establish a national government
institution, and established a parliament, but the Japanese military command immediately bound it with a series of obligations...
"Under these obligations, our power is purely formal. Our natural resources must be controlled by the Communist Party for ten years, and our goods must be exempted from all customs duties for fifteen years. Mines and oil fields captured from the British,
Factories and land are all owned by the Japanese. Our government must promise to provide supplies to the Japanese army until the end of the war. At the same time, it must also pay compensation of three thousand rupees for every Japanese soldier who died on Myanmar soil.
!
"Since last month, the relationship between our independent army and the Japanese army has worsened, and conflicts have occurred from time to time. We have been rectifying law and order in the areas under our control, fighting against the massive increase in criminal crimes during the regime change period, and eliminating the number of fighters among them.
The lack of discipline and the atrocities committed by the anti-Japanese soldiers against our people last week even led to the shooting of several anti-Japanese soldiers who broke into and robbed houses.
"According to reliable information, the Japanese army no longer intends to fulfill the agreement it signed with us, and is determined to ban the independence army and the attempts of the regime we established to pursue an independent line, establish its own government and army, and local powers will be established by the British in the past.
The administrative agencies are exercised, and the work of administrative agencies at all levels is supervised by the Japanese military headquarters. In this case, all of us here may lose our identity and status, or even our freedom...
"In view of this, we must establish a strong opponent to demonstrate the significance of the existence of our independence army, and attacking the Anjia Army is the best choice! Only by letting Myanmar completely fall into chaos, those of us who are committed to the independence of the country and the nation will
Talents are highly valued, and both Japanese and Chinese people must consider the consequences of offending us!"
"Damn *** people!"
"The invaders are all of the same species!"
"We were betrayed by the ***..."
There was constant noise in the house, and many Burmese people who hold important positions in the new government fell into panic and anger.
"It seems like there's only one battle left!"
Dechen Tun Ou, chairman of Myanmar's central administrative body, looked solemn and asked: "Commander Podcha, do you have a specific plan?"
Podcha nodded, raised his baton and pointed at the map: "Because the Japanese army needed to have multiple channels to enter India, they sent their own troops to occupy the Gangao Mountain Pass in the north, and blocked the Anjia Army in Mengyang City, leaving only the eastern front and
The southern front was left to us for defense. Therefore, I prepared to concentrate our forces and launch a sudden attack in the Dongse Valley. In the first wave, I committed three divisions, and then pulled up the reserves of the three divisions to implement a central breakthrough.
The railway forced Anjiajun back to Lashio.
"The Japanese army will be stimulated by the news of our army's continuous victory, and the public will definitely be excited. Given the deep-rooted hatred of the Japanese towards the Anjia Army, as long as we provoke it a little from behind, it will not be difficult to stimulate the Japanese generals in the Mandalay area to commit to the Eastern Front.
As long as the Japanese army invests one or two divisions, the Anjia Army will definitely make targeted arrangements, and the peace between the two sides on this front will be broken. At that time, we will wait for an opportunity to withdraw and allow the Japanese and Japanese troops to retreat.
The Chinese are going all out!"
Deqin Tun'ou asked: "What if the *** people are not fooled?"
Bodcha sneered: "Once the war starts, we have no choice but to attack the people. If they don't move, we will take the initiative to retreat and lead the Anjia army to Mandalay City. Mandalay is the gateway to the Irrawaddy Plain area.
To protect the safety of the midstream oil production areas, no matter how calm the Japanese people are, they cannot tolerate the threat to the oil wells, and a fierce battle will surely begin between the Anjia Army and the Japanese Army!"
Everyone nodded repeatedly, applauding Podcha's ingenious layout, and the plan was finalized.
February 24th, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Throughout the area around Mandalay, the sky was filled with dark clouds and the wind was howling, giving the appearance of an imminent heavy rain. In this obviously dry season, such bad weather is rare.
"boom--"
As the shelling sounded, the first regiment of the 1st Division of the Myanmar Independence Army rushed out of the position, quickly formed a skirmish line, and began to move towards the Meimei position held by the Anjia Army on the opposite side. Major Deqin Xingu raised his command knife high and shouted loudly
Let the troops advance quickly.
Major Deqin Xingu, who had received professional military skills training in the Communist Party of China, spread the skirmisher line very far, and the strength of one regiment almost covered the entire left, center and right positions of Meimi.
As the Japanese army continued to increase its troops to Mandalay, the officers and soldiers of the 245th Regiment of the 4th Mountain Division of the Anjia Army defending the Meimai position had long been wary of the possible attack by the Japanese army.
The moment the gunfire sounded, the officers and soldiers on the position entered the anti-gunfire hole and waited patiently for the artillery fire to stop.
At this time, a warning signal came from the observation post. The enemy was not afraid of accidental damage and stepped on the emplacements of our own artillery to attack forward. The main direction of the attack was the main position directly ahead.
Until now, the Japanese army has never had a precedent of coordinated infantry and artillery attacks. However, the situation was urgent. Once the enemy rushed into the trenches, the front line was in danger of collapse. The officers and soldiers of the first company responsible for the defense of the main position had to rush out of the anti-gun holes and risk their lives.
Following the enemy's artillery fire, they entered the front line of the position through the traffic ditch, set up general-purpose machine guns and rifles, and fired at the enemy.
At the same time, various machine gun bunkers and bunkers also opened fire on the surging enemies. For a while, corpses fell one after another at the front of the main position.
"No! How can I come? The Burmese Army?"
When the commander was watched the military uniform wearing the attack clearly, he was slightly stunned, and he had not waited for him to think about it. The enemies in the offensive suddenly lay down, and a screaming sound sounded in the sky.
In the sea of fire. The Myanmar Independence Army actually concentrated on the more than 120 British Army's 4.5 -inch (114mm) grenade guns seized by the previous combat.
The machine gun is carried out to the direct aiming, destroying the firepower and the castle.
When the Burmese Army stopped the shelling, the explosion of smoke and dust had not yet been dispersed. The Burmese army lying on the front of the main position stood up quickly, making a shout, and directly on the main position of the eyebrows.
After the fierce battle connected by the short soldiers, the Burmese army, which occupied the absolute advantage in the strength of the soldiers, unexpectedly occupied the first trenches of the main position, and quickly moved towards the second way between more than 20 meters. The third trenches launched an attack.
The head of the battalion was unwilling to fail and quickly organized the troops to fight back, but at this time the enemy had another regiment to attack. After a fierce fight, the second way in the artillery had long been defeated.
The main position of the eyebrows was fully lost, and the entire battle ended within half an hour.
Holding the telescope, standing at the two kilometers behind the eyebrow line of the eyebrow line, the head of the second, fifth and fifth regiment in front of the two -year -old regiment in front of the head of the bunker section was very surprised.
Officers and soldiers, contracted and defensive, have already built the eye -catching defense lines to highlight the positions on both sides.
Although this defense formation has increased the defense difficulty of the two wings, if the Burmese army continues to forcibly attack the main position, it will be killed by a large number of side firepower on both sides.
Sure enough, the Burmese army, who seized the main position of the eyebrows, did not stop. The strength of three regiments was concentrated. For the main position of more than 50 meters away from the first position, it continued to launch a concentrated charge.
The dense Burmese army, like the maggots in the latrine, rushed to the main position with the intensive bullet rain from the front and the left and right wings.
Although the Burmese army is at the position of offense, it is better than people and morale. At the front of the entire assault unit, more than 200 Burmese "Iron Blood Dead Teams" backbone stripped shirt, and rifles with bayonet rifles rushed to the most.
Front.
In terms of the defenders, the two battalions of the four battalions were obtained, using general machine guns and mortars to organize intensive firepower and concentrated on the charge of the Burmese Army.
The blood was soaring, the residual limbs flew with broken arms, and the Burmese soldiers who played the middle were continuously planted on the hillside, and the rolling corpse caused a burst of chaos.
Members of the Burmese "Iron Blood Dead Team" faced heavy casualties without fear and still maintained a firm step. They completely ignored the dense bullets of the Satamores and the soldiers of the soldiers.
Driven by the backbone of the "Decisive Dead Team" composed of the Burmese extreme ethnic elements, although the Burmese soldiers fell into the gun and forests of Anjiajun, they still successfully resisted into a soil of 60 meters in the main area of the main position.
Cold parts.
This section represents the distance of death. The Burmese army forced three assaults, all ended in failure, and then the Burmese army began to use the soil bags or bouncing pits around Tukan to entangle with Anjia Army.
The corpse of the companion was piled up and served as the bunker chest wall. The melon grenade fired by the Burmese army from the Japanese army was intersecting with the grenades thrown by the officers and soldiers of the Anjia army.
Every mortar shell fired from the left, right and rear of the defensive position can cause huge damage to the Burmese army. However, the Burmese army refuses to retreat. It still relies on its superiority in strength and continues to attack without fear of death.
In the trenches defended by the 1st Battalion, which had been strengthened several times, Anjia Army soldiers were constantly hit in fierce exchanges of fire. The Burmese army pushed the artillery to the Meiyao forward position it had just occupied, and aimed at the secondary defense line with a barrage of artillery fire.
Every artillery shell caused a large number of casualties. In the trenches where blood, flesh and shrapnel were flying everywhere, medical soldiers often fell to the ground while dragging the wounded.
In the rear command post, Zhou Feng, the political commissar of the 245th Regiment, walked around anxiously and kept looking at his watch: "Why haven't the air force come yet? It's been almost an hour. Didn't they say they are on call?"
Lieutenant Colonel He Da pointed to the sky: "I guess we won't be able to come. There may be heavy rain at any time, and the sky is too dark. Even if we barely get into the air, we can't clearly distinguish ourselves from the enemy... The enemy has chosen someone to attack.
What a great time!”
"Report!"
Major An Peihan, the communications staff officer, walked up to the regiment commander and reported loudly: "We received a call from the division headquarters. After repeated discussions, the Air Force finally confirmed that we could not participate in the battle. The division commander asked us to decisively withdraw from the battle and retreat to Gute. The terrain of Gute is more favorable than Meimi.
Defense, and our division's artillery regiment is right there, it can definitely deal a devastating blow to the enemy! The division commander said that we are mountain troops, not infantry, and we cannot waste them in vain like this!"
"Hey, how good is this battle..."
Lieutenant Colonel He Da shook his head and ordered: "First, let the second and third battalions on both sides of the defense line withdraw, and set up blocking positions in Weiwen and Naoqiu respectively. In order to avoid the enemy's detection, leave one platoon and one battalion each,
The four battalions retreat together."
"yes!"
Major An Peihan turned and left. Political Commissar Zhou Feng said: "Lao He, I will organize the evacuation now and destroy the documents. We have a lot of luggage, but we must not fall into the hands of the enemy."
He Da nodded: "Okay! You can lead the regiment and the fifth battalion to withdraw first. I will go to the main position and buy as much time as possible for the troops to retreat. Let's see you in Gute!"
Zhou Feng did not stop him, shook hands with He Da firmly, turned and left.
