Chapter 857
"Saki-Kun, I have to tell you a bad news. So far, the two destroyers and one cruiser of the Empire have been sunk in Motama Bay!"
Yoshiro Iida pointed on the map with his hand and said, "Yang Fan has built an extremely powerful coastal defense line, fortress turrets, and even torpedo launchers in Motama Bay!
Not only was the Imperial Navy unable to approach the bombardment, but it was also unable to forcibly break through the estuary of the Salwin River as planned to assist us in the offensive and heavy equipment transportation!”
"In addition, the Imperial Air Force has now tried its best. All combat aircraft of the Third Flying Division have made every effort to cooperate in combat, and launched an unprecedented air decisive battle with the Chinese Air Force!
But so far, the Chinese Air Force is still resisting stubbornly, and the Imperial Air Force has not fully controlled the air supremacy on the battlefield!"
After a pause, Iida Xiangjiro said with a dark face:
"Now the Imperial Army cannot fully exert its naval and air advantages, and it is difficult for our 15th Army to chew off the Motama City defense line in a short period of time. Such a situation is very unfavorable to the Imperial Army!"
"ah!"
Shizuo Jing's heart suddenly sank. He could not understand what Iida Xiangjiro said when he heard this. It was obvious that he wanted to stop the losses in time and no longer increase his troops on the West Bank, and let the more than 10,000 imperial soldiers fighting bloody battles on the West Bank fled themselves!
"Hiss Commander!"
Jukai Masato forced his resentment and panic in his heart, and looked at Iida Xiangjiro with a pleading look and said:
"Will this fail? Wouldn't this cause 12,000 imperial soldiers and 3,000 Myanmar friendly soldiers die in vain?
Moreover, the defense line of the Chinese army on the other side has almost collapsed. As long as we increase the offensive efforts, we will definitely completely defeat the fighting will of the Chinese army!
The so-called defeat is like a mountain of fall, as long as..."
Now the 33rd Division has only command centers at all levels, artillery, baggage, cavalry, communications, and health, and all 12 infantry brigades fighting on the front line have crossed the river.
In other words, the 33rd Division has already overwhelmed all front-line combat infantry. If it loses all its money, the 33rd Division will be directly abandoned!
Therefore, Sakai Shizuo was full of desire to survive, and he was unwilling to give up treatment in any case. He allowed nearly 10,000 imperial soldiers who fought bloodily on the other side to fend for themselves!
"Enough! As a graduate of the Sabre Group, do you have no basic judgment and decisiveness?
Do you want the entire 15th Army to be buried with your 33rd Division? Don’t you know that the Chinese army on the other side is not an ordinary Chinese army at all, but a wolf soldier of the Gui army known for its good fighting and evil warfare?"
Iida Xiangjiro looked at Sakai Seizo coldly and hummed in a cold tone:
"Even if we can now send more infantry to the West Bank to participate in the war, without the support of sea and air energy, no heavy equipment and firepower, and insufficient supply, the outcome is destined to be only one!
And such unnecessary consumption is of no significance to the entire Myanmar war! We will not be angry and fight. As a senior general of the empire, you must learn to control your emotions!”
Iida Xiangjiro's tone was very calm and cold-blooded. Even though the total force that had been invested now was as high as more than 15,000, it seemed to him just a string of cold numbers, not 15,000 living lives.
"It's over, it's really over now!"
Jujing Shengsan's head buzzed, his eyes filled with despair and regret.
As Yoshiro Iida said before, since the Japanese Empire won a complete victory in the attack on Pearl Harbor, all the Japanese people have been greatly encouraged and become unprecedentedly confident and arrogant!
Jujing Shisan is a serious senior general from a professional infantry team. He has great achievements in military command, ruthlessness, courage and motivation!
However, from the very beginning, the 15th Army misjudged the situation, underestimated Yang Fan's air defense capabilities and coastal defense capabilities, and underestimated the Gui army's will to resist and combat effectiveness!
Chief of Staff of the 15th Army Haruki Isaiyama said, "Saki-kun, how could the imperial soldiers of the Empire die in vain? Their heroic killing of the enemy has caused serious casualties and morale blows to the Chinese army!
Besides, we have not completely abandoned them now. The 55th Division, the First Brigade of the Guards Division and the Imperial Navy Task Force are doing their best to attack Maulhammé.
As long as the estuary of the Salwin River is smashed, the Imperial fleet will rush to support the Imperial Imperial soldiers who are fighting bloody in the West Bank as quickly as possible!"
“…”
Juei Shizuo's eyelids turned pale and he had nothing to say. He was not a three-year-old child, so how could he not hear Haruki Isaiyama's words were basically useless nonsense?
But what can I do? Although there are more than 10,000 special forces in my hands, General San of the Saijing cannot send artillery, baggage, cavalry, communications, engineers, and medical soldiers to die, right?
"That's right, before breaking the iron triangle defense line between Bilu Island, Motama City and Maulhammian, you must never send troops and soldiers to the west coast!"
Iida Xiangjiro slapped the board without hesitation, then said to Satomi Satomi with fierce eyes:
"Zhujing immediately generates electricity to the imperial soldiers on the west coast, telling them to fight bloody battles with the Chinese army to the end, occupy and hold the position, and the Imperial Navy is about to break through the estuary of the Salwin River!
The Great Japanese Imperial Guard Division will soon launch a devastating blow to the Chinese army on the West Coast with the assistance of the Imperial Navy!
The Great Japanese Empire will never forget, for the Yamato nation, for His Majesty the Emperor, and for the Jade-breaking Empire warriors of the Great Japanese Empire!"
"Hayi!"
The three-pronged and heavy bowed down by the Ministry of Soi, for the sake of the present, I can only encourage the cross-river soldiers spiritually, so that they can realize their full potential and residual heat, and kill as much as possible in the Chinese army!
Bilu Island!
Bilu Island is located on the east side of Motama Bay, at the estuary of the Salwin River, facing Motama Port and Maulhamen Port, with a total area of more than 300 square kilometers.
Most of the islands are plains formed by impact, while the middle of the island is a hilly area, with a maximum altitude of more than 100 meters.
The main position of the 5th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Division of the Huben Expeditionary Force was set up in this hilly area, forming an iron triangle with the Motama and Maulhammén defense lines, firmly locking the Salwen River Estuary.
Compared with the seaside fortress of Yecheng, although the scale of the Bilu Island Fortress is much smaller, although the sparrow is small and has all the internal organs, the completeness and solidity of its defense system are even more than that.
Starting from seven or eight o'clock this morning, Bilu Island began to be bombed by Japanese bombers and naval fleets one after another. The dense vegetation around the fortress was destroyed, turning into ashes during burning and turning into pieces during bombing!
However, the Bilu Island Fortress built along the mountain stands proudly, and more than 1,500 officers and soldiers of the 5th Regiment are still standing on their positions and launching rounds of life and death battles with the Japanese army.
