A cave in the Kachin settlement area of ​​the Bennong Mountains of Myanmar is also the headquarters of the 19th Army of the Japanese.

In this Kachin settlement area, there are actually many residential houses that can be lived in, but Zheng San by the river did not choose those that looked comfortable and spacious, but instead set up the headquarters in this well-connected cave.

The original intention and intention are not to demonstrate the "Japanese-Myanmar friendship, the imperial army is friendly and friendly, and does not disturb the people, and does not take the masses one by one." It is mainly because these old Japanese are afraid of death.

That's right, I'm afraid of death!

The houses built in open jungle areas do look more spacious, bright and comfortable than caves, but exposed to the air like this naked, can easily attract bombing from the Chinese Air Force, and there is no safety at all.

These Japanese soldiers finally survived and had long become a group of frightened birds. Not to mention that the old Japanese were afraid of death, the same was true for those Japanese.

The caves on the Bennong Mountains are everywhere, and many of them are well-connected. They are not only cool and comfortable, but also provide a spacious barracks. This makes it convenient for the Japanese to transform them into camps and defense areas.

At this time, several combat staff from the 19th Army's General Staff had piled up a sand table in the center of the cave, perfectly crafting the terrain around the Bennong Mountains and the deployment of troops from both sides of the enemy and us.

With this detailed simulated sand table, the surrounding geographical conditions and war situation are all clear at a glance.

However, when he saw the situation clearly, the riverside Masasa not only did not feel cheerful and comfortable, but instead frowned and twisted into the character Sichuan, and his eyes were so worried.

The humid climate in Myanmar and the endless emergence of mosquitoes, flies, poisonous insects in the tropical jungle caused great trouble and damage to the Japanese army, which greatly affected the progress of the Japanese army in building fortifications in the Bennong Mountains.

However, these are just troubles for the Japanese army, and gritting their teeth can be overcome. The most worrying thing about the old Japanese in the third-class Hebdo is the issue of logistics support.

The 19th Army was forced to retreat to the Bennong Mountains and created a guerrilla base center with the Kachin settlement area as the center. Although it temporarily stabilized its position, it actually became a completely lonely army.

Now the entire 19th Army has been surrounded by numerous encirclements. Not to mention obtaining supplies from land, it is impossible to obtain supplies from the air.

Because the 3rd Flying Division and the 6th Flying Division, which belong to the Myanmar condemnation army, have been almost wiped out by the Chinese Air Force.

Even if the Japanese Air Force is now replenishing, it will not be able to take the initiative to regain Myanmar's air supremacy in a short period of time.

When he was ordered to retreat to the Bennong Mountains, the riverside Zhengsan had already foreseen this situation, so he ordered the troops to pack and take away all the materials that could be taken away as much as possible.

However, the ideal is full of reality and skinny. With a series of exhaustion, weapons, ammunition and materials are consumed greatly. So far, the supplies of the 19th Army have been stretched.

Being surrounded by many besieged and surrounded by the Chinese Expeditionary Army and Air Force, how can the 19th Army obtain supplies?

Without supplies, why should the 19th Army continue to fight? Even if it is fighting guerrilla warfare, it must be enough guns and ammunition to support it!

There is a shortage of food and clothing, so you can obtain it through the Kachin tribe, collect wild fruits and vegetables in the jungle, hunt wild animals, etc. to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. There is still no problem if you persist for three or five months.

But if there are not enough weapons and ammunition to supplement, what will they use to resist the continuous attack of the Chinese? Should they use engineer shovels to fight, or use Bushido spirit to output them all by roar?

In the past, when leading troops in China to fight, the Japanese army had always had an absolute advantage, and had always shown their power and fought wherever they pointed.

However, after thirty years, Hexi has become an absolute disadvantage in Hedong and has to hide in the mountains and forests, just like the Eighth Route Army guerrillas on the battlefield in North China back then.

However, Kawabian Masazo was very clear that fighting guerrilla warfare was not the strength of the Japanese army, and it was difficult to become an indestructible young force like the Eighth Route Army guerrillas. He could persist in fighting in the battlefield behind enemy lines for a long time!

"It's hard, it's really hard! If you can't get weapons and ammunition supplies as soon as possible, you may not last long!"

Thinking of this, Zheng San from Hebian kept shaking his head. He couldn't walk away, and he couldn't beat him. He could not see any hope and cracking. Such a cowardly battle was simply a nightmare.

"Your Excellency, the 12th Division, the 14th Division and the 43rd Division have built an outer defense line!"

At this time, Yukio Kasahara, the commander of the 12th Division, walked over and said:

"The 44th Division of the State Department has also begun to build a second line of defense. In addition, with the assistance of Kachin militia on the outside, our army should be more than enough to hold the Bennong Mountains for three or five months!

I believe that by then, the powerful reinforcements sent by His Majesty the Emperor should arrive at the Myanmar War Zone and officially join the war?"

“It’s more than three to five months?”

Kawabata Masaki turned his head to look at Yukio Kasahara, frowned and asked, "Kun Kasahara, are you really sure to persevere until the Imperial reinforcements arrive in Myanmar?"

"this……"

Yukio Kasahara immediately didn't know how to answer the conversation. He had a bullshit confidence and confidence. The words just now were nothing more than to cheer himself up.

However, he did not expect that Kawabian Masato was so ignorant and asked this embarrassing question directly.

Commander, don’t you understand what “If you are serious, do you lose”?

For a moment, Yuki Kasahara was filled with sadness.

"Kun Kasahara, you don't have much confidence, right? Alas, it's not your fault. This is the case at the moment! But it doesn't matter. The Imperial Army of the Great Japanese Empire will not be intimidated by difficulties!"

Seeing that Kasahara Yukio could not answer the words, Kawabata Masazo sighed softly, "I asked you to count the number of weapons and ammunition before, but now has the counting finished?"

Kasahara Yukio paused his head and said, "Hayi, Commander, has been counted."

"So, how many weapons and ammunition are left, as well as medicine and food reserves?"

The riverside was showing expectations on all sides, hoping to get good news, although he knew very well that this was just a luxury.

Kasahara Yukio said with a dim expression: "Commander, there is only one-third of the ammunition left in the battle reserves. The average number of bullets carried by the Imperial Army is less than 80 rounds, the average number of grenades is about 4,000 rounds of light machine guns, each heavy machine gun has 4,000 rounds of ammunition, and each mortar has 70 rounds of ammunition.

There are very few medicines left, and grain reserves can last for two months."

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the standard carrying capacity of individual ammunition for the Japanese army was 120 rounds. Among them, the "front box" of the leather bullet box of the Japanese army can hold 30 rounds of bullets, the two front boxes are 60 rounds, and the "back box" is filled with 60 rounds, which can carry a total of 120 rounds.

If there are major combat tasks, each Japanese soldier will need to bring another 80 bullets in the "Type Ninety Backpack", and the total amount of bullets will be increased to 200.

"Nani, is there only one-third of the ammunition reserve left in the entire army? Only such a little ammunition is left. How can we resist the attack of the Chinese army?"

The face of Masazo Hebang suddenly became very ugly. If he was facing other Chinese troops, perhaps these ammunition could last for a while, but the other side was the extremely difficult Chinese Tiger Army!
