Chapter 968 This is a confession?
"This is not surprising at all!"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "The Japanese have always been vengeful. They suffered a great loss in Yecheng before. They were just anxious to break through the Maudanmian defense line and the Salwin River defense line, so they could only take a detour for the time being.
After Umezu Mijiro was squeezed out of the commander-in-chief of the Kanto Army, he kept feeling resentful.
Now that he has made a comeback, he has become the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Expeditionary Army. He has suddenly controlled the heavy army group that is no less powerful than the Kanto Army. Naturally, he is eager to prove himself and find the place.
The Yachin Seaside Fortress, which was alone in the enemy-occupied area, naturally became the first target of Umezu Mijiro's attack!"
Sun Zhen smiled and praised: "Commander Yang is really Zhuge's rebirth. The Japanese have been suffering from bad luck in meeting you for eight lifetimes! Haha, it's so satisfying!
I just don’t know if the Japanese will continue to increase their troops until they are bleeding and pay an unbearable price of casualties?"
Stilwell continued in an excited tone: “It would be great if that would be!
As long as we eat these 500,000 Japanese invaders bit by bit, the situation on the entire Asian battlefield will be greatly reversed, and even enter a strategic counterattack in advance..."
"Ahem!!"
Seeing Stilwell's look of being so beautiful, Yang Fan really couldn't bear to interrupt his imagination.
Although the Japanese have a relatively dull tactic, they are not a group of stupid pigs who never turn back after hitting the south wall. What's more, even if they are 500,000 pigs, it will take a lot of trouble to cleanly clean them up!
Thailand's Dafu, the war room of the General Headquarters of the Japanese Myanmar Expeditionary Army.
Higuchi Shiichiro Higuchi, the commander of the 9th Division of the Japanese Division, pointed to the sand table and said, "Old Commander-in-Chief, the 7th Infantry Regiment has captured the 103th Highlands, but the 7th Regiment has suffered serious casualties.
In front of Highland 103 is the 110th Highland, and the defense system of this highland is only stronger than that of Highland 103.
Moreover, starting from the 103th Heights to attack the 110th Heights, not only must we go down the mountain first to directly be intercepted by the firepower of the 110th Heights, but we also have to attack up the hillside, which is very difficult!"
After a pause, Higuchi Hiichiro walked forward two steps, pointed to the highest mountain on the sand table with a wooden stick and said, "The most important thing is this main peak with an altitude of 486 meters, which is the most difficult core position to conquer.
According to current intelligence analysis, a well-connected traffic tunnel has been built in this core position, as well as complete and solid fortifications and a powerful firepower network!
Faced with such a mountain fortress, even if there is no restraint and consumption of flanking positions of all sizes around it, the Great Japanese Imperial Army will have to lose at least 4,000 imperial warriors if it wants to conquer this main peak position!"
"Higuchi, what exactly do you want to say? If you have any ideas, you might as well say it out loud!"
Meizu Mijiro's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He could not hear what Higuchi Kiichiro meant. He originally thought that the 9th Division, which had always been known for fighting tough and bad wars, would give him a surprise.
However, after only half a day of fighting, the 9th Division was about to admit defeat?
Meijiro Umezu was very angry and disappointed, and felt that this was not only slapping him in the face, but also slapping the Burmese Expeditionary Force and the Great Japanese Empire!
"His Excellency Commander-in-Chief!"
Higuchi Kiichiro also knew that Mijiro Umezu was very unhappy, but he had to say something: "If the Imperial Army did not break through the core Highland 486, it would be impossible to completely remove the Huaxia radar station established in southern Myanmar.
Then the entire military operation will fail and have no military value.
However, if the Imperial Army wants to do its best to conquer this seaside fortress, the Imperial Army will lose at least one division of imperial soldiers!”
Meijiro Umezu had a gloomy face and said angrily: "Higuchi Kwan means that we should immediately give up the attack on the seaside fortress of Yacheng? Let the Chinese army show their power in our occupied areas, and let their radar stations spy on the Imperial Imperial Army?"
“…”
Heguchi Kiichiro was buckled with a big hat, and he couldn't communicate well with Umezu Mijiro.
Obviously, "stop loss in time" is the wisest choice, but you cannot say this from your own mouth.
Otherwise, Higuchi Jiichiro really can't bear the blame for retreating in the face of the battle and fearing the enemy!
"Please calm down your anger, Commander!"
Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became stiff, Chief of Staff Kimura Hitaro could only be a peacemaker and whispered: "The Imperial Myanmar Expeditionary Force has been in place for nearly 400,000 people, and it will be all in one week at most!
So I think our top priority is to plan and organize the Myanmar Battle!
As long as we can break through the Maulhammén defense line and the Salwen River defense line in one fell swoop and cut off the rear route of the Chinese Expeditionary Force from the Shan State Plateau, other branches and boundaries are not a problem at all!”
"What Chief Kimura General Staff said is that as long as the defense line of the Chinese Expeditionary Force can be opened and the defense system of the Chinese army can be disrupted, the 500,000 Chinese army will become a pile of cattle and sheep that can be slaughtered!"
The commander of the 15th Army, Yoshiro Iida, also fought with him haha. From the beginning, he did not agree to go to the Yacheng Sea Fortress.
Because since the 55th Division suffered a great loss there, he has attached importance to everyone in that place and has always wanted to remove this thorn in the eye.
For this reason, Iida Yoshiro sent several elite reconnaissance troops to find flaws, but the more you understand, the more you discover the terrible defence system of this fortress.
However, for the 15th Army, although the existence of this seaside fortress was extremely disgusting and dazzling, in fact, there was not much threat to the occupied areas in the rear of the Japanese army.
So for such a hard bone that cannot be crushed and cooked, Iida Shojiro could only pretend not to see it.
After Umezu Mijiro took office as commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Expeditionary Army, he did not listen to his dissuasion and insisted on taking advantage of the seaside mountain fortress. Iida Yoshiro felt very uncomfortable.
At this time, Iida Shojiro was on the surface agreeing with the Chief of Staff’s suggestion, but in fact he was secretly happy in his heart. He had some pleasure in watching Umetsu Mijiro’s jokes!
"Baga! The empire's shame!"
Meijiro Umezu was so angry that he wanted to continue to increase his troops impulsively and to find the place back at all costs.
But Mijiro Umezu was not stupid. He knew very well that the suggestions of Higuchi Hiichiro, Kimura Hitaro and others were the wisest choice. If you go hard now, even if you conquer the Yacheng Sea Fortress, it would only be more cost-effective.
"Higuchi, please immediately convene the commanders and chiefs of staff of each army to meet! The so-called military force is fast, we must come up with a complete solution as soon as possible, open up the situation as soon as possible, and eliminate all these hateful Chinese expeditionary forces!"
Meijiro Umezu was so angry that he felt that he had only strength and anger, but he had nowhere to vent!
"Hayi!"
Kimura Hitotaro paused. He knew very well about this long-term partner's temper and knew that he could only follow his hair at this time!
Chapter completed!
