Chapter 1064 How to break the game
Laigu Town, the pre-war command post of the Expeditionary Force.
Senior generals such as Yang Fan, Li Zongren, Sun Zhen, Du Yuming, Meng Wu'an, Tong Weiwen, Dai Anlan, and Liao Yaoxiang gathered together to discuss the current war.
At present on the battlefield in northern Myanmar, the Chinese Expeditionary Force has made a decisive decision on the 18th Army of the Japanese, and has annihilated more than 50,000 Japanese invaders.
The remaining 11th Division and 42nd Division were divided and surrounded by infantry clusters. It was only a matter of time before the 18th Army of the Japanese was completely destroyed.
However, the battlefield in southern Myanmar fell into a state of hard fighting and anxiety.
The 19th Army, 15th Army and 20th Army of the Japanese Myanmar Expeditionary Army have stabilized their positions after a brief panic at the beginning of the war.
Especially later, after two destroyers and six gunboats of the Japanese fleet broke into the Xidang River, they gave the Japanese extremely strong mobile fire support, which greatly increased the pressure on the offensive forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force!
Under the command of Japanese commanders at all levels, the Japanese soldiers who could not retreat had unprecedented combat effectiveness. They fought a life-and-death battle with the 2nd Army, the 4th Army, the 5th Army, the 31st Army and the 22nd Army of the Chinese Huben Army in the Xidanghe Plain Basin.
Although the Chinese Expeditionary Force had the lead advantage, it concentrated a large number of tank armor, self-propelled artillery, heavy artillery troops at the beginning, and a large number of combat aircraft cooperated. It did have a crushing momentum that was destroyed and overwhelming.
However, more than 300,000 Japanese soldiers with strong fighting will are not 300,000 pigs. Just a few cannons can make them panic and completely collapse.
On the contrary, the injured wild beasts are the most dangerous. It is not difficult to imagine that when the Japanese soldiers are forced to survive and have no hope of retreating, the combat power and energy they burst out are quite amazing.
Especially with the Japanese Air Force and Navy's desperate rescue, as a breakthrough weapon, the armored cluster that attacked the core was the first to be hit, and was killed and injured by the Japanese bomber group.
Later, even the heavy artillery troops in the rear suffered heavy losses under the suicide attack of the Japanese bombers.
Although the Japanese bomber group paid an extremely heavy price for this under the joint bloody battle between the Huben Air Force and the ground air defense forces, the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the southern Myanmar battlefield still lost its most powerful attack iron fist.
To the bottom of this, the overall strength of the Chinese Expeditionary Force in the southern Myanmar battlefield was still a little weak, and it was unable to form a crushing advantage like the northern Myanmar battlefield.
Even though the 18th Army of the Japanese and the Japanese Air Force fought desperately, they were still cut through the defense line from the front by a huge armored cluster. While annihilated a large number of living forces, they also cut and surrounded the 18th Army.
But then again, the Chinese Expeditionary Force on the southern Myanmar battlefield did not gain nothing, but instead achieved quite impressive results.
First of all, in order to rescue the precarious Japanese Army, the Japanese Air Force had to fight against the Huben Air Force and the ground air defense forces, and even adopted the "Kamikaze Death Squad" mode at the most critical moment of the Japanese Army.
In this way, the Japanese Air Force lost more than 770 combat aircraft on the battlefield in southern Myanmar. In addition, more than 60 carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese Navy and more than 200 lost in the battlefield in northern Myanmar, the Japanese combat aircraft lost more than a thousand, which was equivalent to having all of a full-framed pilot division.
Under long-term high-intensity consumption, the two Japanese flight divisions in Thailand have long been dissatisfied with the organization. Although they have added combat aircraft many times, they have never been able to keep up with the war consumption.
So far, the Japanese Air Force has only less than 500 combat aircraft left.
On the other hand, the Tiger Army in the North and South battlefields have currently lost 382 fighter jets and 46 bombers, and the Chennard Airways Corps has lost 47 fighter jets. Our side has lost a total of 475 combat aircraft, and there are 529 combat aircraft left.
According to preliminary statistics, the current combat loss ratio of enemy-we-engine aircraft is 2:1.
If this data is in normal times, it is indeed not good-looking, but today is an unprecedented head-on battle. The air forces on both sides have to fight for the ground forces and cannot have a lot of guerrilla space as usual!
After most of the day of fierce air battles, the Huber Expeditionary Air Force has surpassed the Japanese Air Force in terms of overall number of combat aircraft. In addition, due to its advantages such as combat performance and home field operations, the air supremacy in Myanmar has begun to tilt towards the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Just keep working hard and have a few beautiful big-scoring air battles. The Japanese Air Force will be completely wiped out, and the air supremacy in Myanmar will be firmly controlled by the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Secondly, in the southern Myanmar battlefield, the number of casualties of the Japanese army exceeded 40,000, and many defense lines were broken. The 19th Japanese Army was divided and surrounded in the area of Aoton Town, while the 15th Japanese Army and the 20th Japanese Army were compressed on the plains in the southeast of Bogu City to support it.
In addition to the 3 submarines of the Japanese Navy, 2 destroyers, and several major warships that were seriously injured, the battlefield in southern Myanmar can also be regarded as a brilliant victory!
Yang Fan stood in front of the sand table and frowned, thinking about how to break the deadlock.
The battlefield in northern Myanmar has become a foregone conclusion and there is no suspense, but the battlefield in southern Myanmar will be difficult to clean up for a while.
How to break the deadlock in front of you? At present, Yang Fan has two general ideas in his mind. The first is to wait for the armored clusters on the battlefield in northern Myanmar to join the war, and the second is to wait for the air force to recover and then find a way to kill all the remaining air forces of the Japanese.
In this way, with absolute air supremacy, the 300,000 Japanese soldiers on the southern Myanmar battlefield could only eat whatever they wanted!
In addition, Yang Fan also has two cards to play in his hand, namely the helicopter brigade and the naval ship.
However, helicopters are transport aircraft, not modern armed helicopters. They have very limited firepower to the ground and have poor protection. They can add icing on the cake, but they cannot achieve a one-time effect.
At the same time, there must be a prerequisite for dispatching a helicopter brigade, that is, you must firmly grasp air supremacy, otherwise, in front of the Japanese fighter fleet, these helicopters are all living targets.
The naval ships have 12 speedboats and 8 escort boats. Although the tonnage is small, their combat effectiveness is actually not weak and they can play a big role in Shidang Hanoi.
As for the submarine force, it is a little slower in its movement and is prone to devastating blows from Japanese destroyers and gunboats. However, if it is really time to fight for bayonets, it is still necessary to go.
As for the continued strong attacks of infantry clusters at any cost, it is obvious that this is not cost-effective.
Because the Japanese soldiers were forced into a dead end, the combat potential of the Japanese soldiers who fought on their backs was very terrifying.
If the infantry clusters go up and work hard, the result is that they will probably kill one thousand enemies and lose two thousand themselves, which will cause them to lose even the capital and the profit.
