Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    General Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, was a member of the Imperial Japanese Army.  .  In Indochina and Burma, they were invincible and invincible. They sang loudly and rejoiced all the way, but they were also very distressed that they could not catch the retreating British troops. These British troops were slipperier than loaches. Even if they turned around to fight once,  It is also a dignified military entry.

    The Japanese army chased them wildly, almost vomiting blood. The British army ran wildly, losing their armor and armor. The Japanese army rushed towards Mandalay from all directions, but they couldn't catch up with the two legs of the British army. General Ito Yanzaburo's disciples  Hu Naihe looked at the hundreds of thousands of British and Burmese soldiers rolled into a ball and swallowed his saliva, but he couldn't eat it.

    Major General Takeo Morishima, commander of the dispatched army aviation, appeared at the right time when the Commander-in-Chief was extremely troubled and proposed to use all the power of aviation to bomb the retreating British and Burmese troops. Ito Yanzaburo was overjoyed and excited.  With his beard trembling back and forth, he grabbed Morishima Takeo's shoulders and looked at the aviation major general with expectant eyes.

    He said in a hurried tone: "Morishima-kun, please! Send out all your planes, and send all the ones with wings up to Yao, and bomb them hard. Bomb all the targets you see, including Britain, Myanmar, roads,  Bridges, even a tree, or a rock that can be hidden will be blown to pieces. The dispatched military supplies department will all serve the aviation force. As long as Morishima-kun can hold back the retreating British, you will be the leader of the Japanese Empire.  Meritorious minister, I will personally ask for credit from His Majesty Yao Huang, please!"

    After saying that, General Ito Genzaburo solemnly bowed deeply to Morishima. Not only him, but all the officers in the dispatch army headquarters also bowed and asked. Morishima's blood boiled, and the blood all over his body rushed to his face, excitedly.  With a trembling voice, he said: "Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, and all of you for your trust. Morishima will definitely live up to his mission. Even if he sacrifices his life, he will still complete the mission!"

    After saying that, Morishima strode away in a stride. Morishima was indeed very moved. He had never felt that the burden on his shoulders was so heavy. As for sacrificing his life, it was pure nonsense.  It's just a high-profile statement. In the sky above northern Myanmar, as long as the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division's aviation force did not take action, there would be no air power that could threaten the Japanese aircraft. The British aircraft had already fled to India for refuge.  .

    Starting from early May, the British and Burmese soldiers who were rushing all the way to Mandalay could no longer live in peace. The Japanese Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force aviation unit dispatched all aircraft to fly to Mandalay on every road.  On a road, there was indiscriminate bombing, and tons of aerial bombs were poured on the heads of British and Burmese soldiers.

    Major General Takeo Morishima spent his money. Not only were all the fighters and bombers sent to Yaokong, but even the transport planes were loaded with aerial bombs, and the reconnaissance planes were equipped with machine guns, and they all went to the battlefield. Yaokong in central Myanmar  On the ground, various Japanese aircraft roared and screamed, throwing countless pieces of steel at the targets they thought should be bombed.

    A soldier, a car, a mountain road, or a bridge would all lead to frenzied bombings by several or even a dozen Japanese aircraft. British and Burmese soldiers would be thrown into pieces and turned upside down, with countless broken corpses and burning vehicles.  The emerald green land in central Myanmar was dyed in patches of dark red. Gunpowder smoke filled the air and plumes of smoke billowed into the air. The retreat of the British-Burmese army immediately slowed down.

    Takeo Morishima fulfilled his promise and used more than 300 aircraft, including transport aircraft, to blow up the retreat road of the British and Burmese troops into a wall of death. The British would have to pay a heavy price if they even thought of taking a step back.  , in fact, the situation should not be so bad. If the British army retreated in an orderly manner and organized ground anti-aircraft firepower, even without air cover, they would not be so passive. Those crazy Japanese pilots flew the plane almost touching the trees.  tip.

    A few light machine guns can knock down the raging Japanese aircraft, not to mention those clumsy transport planes and bombers. However, the British are just trying to escape, and the command system is completely paralyzed. Commanders at all levels have lost control of the troops.  Even minimal air defense could not be organized, let alone issue effective orders.  .

    A few days later, the situation of the British and Burmese troops being in chaos and being wantonly massacred by the Japanese air force had not changed at all. That army wanted to make others the target of bombing, which was often a narrow mountain pass. Troops of different organizations.  In order to compete for the benefit of being the first to pass, they argued fiercely, cursed viciously, crowded together, and refused to give in, almost to the point of using knives and guns.

    The Japanese pilots' Coca-Cola was broken, and tens of millions of people were crowded into a pile. With their eyes closed, they could send bullets and bombs into the bodies of the British. Later, when the Japanese pilots returned, they asked each other about the results of the battle. It is no longer necessary today.  Instead of asking each other questions like this when a few Brits dropped, say, "I sent bombs to a bunch of Brits today."

    Morishima Takeo¡¯s Aerial SealThis strategy achieved unprecedented success. The activities of the British and Burmese troops in Bai Yao were restricted across the entire front. They had to avoid air attacks in Bai Yao. They marched at night and the speed of retreat immediately slowed down. Because of the night march, they fell into the valley and died.  After a few days, the distance between the pursuing Japanese troops and the British retreating troops was shortened from the original six days to four days.

    In the air in central Myanmar, the fighting was raging. Major General Le Yiqin, the commander of the ** Division Aviation Corps who was on standby at Kunming Airport and the commander of the 1st and 2nd Southern Flying Groups, could no longer sit still on his stool.  On the radar screen, I saw the little red dots representing the Japanese aircraft. They were running around all over the screen. I swallowed hard. The red dot was a Japanese plane. Looking at this posture, there were probably more than 300 of them. How big.  A piece of fat?

    After several discussions with several officers from the Operations Department, the telegram to the division commander Tang Qiuli was finally sent, "The division commander and all division commanders, since the units of the Southern Flying Group of our ** Division Aviation Corps have been stationed at Nanning and Kunming airports,  There have been no combat missions for about three months, and the pilots are eager to fight. Recently, I heard that the activities of the Japanese aviation forces in the Myanmar airspace are very rampant and frequent. All troops of our Southern Flying Group requested the division commander's approval to enter Burma to participate in combat missions against the Japanese aviation forces.  In order to eliminate the Japanese air power, and secondly to train the actual combat capabilities of the troops, I hope it will be approved!"

    After Tang Qiuli received Le Yiqin's telegram asking for war, he first smiled, and then said to Chang Feng, the chief of staff next to him: "Chang Feng, look at this telegram. Le Yiqin can't sit still.  I'm asking for a fight!" Chang Feng took the telegram, read it carefully, and said: "Commander, Commander Le's reasons for asking for a fight are very good. Both of them are reasonable. I'm afraid I won't give you a close reply.  Uncomfortable?"

    Seeing that Tang Qiuli had no reaction, Chang Feng continued: "A week ago, more than a hundred fighter jets were transferred from Commander Liu Cuigang of the Northern Flying Group. Commander Le has greatly increased his strength and courage.  After a few battles, if the pilots of the aviation force don't eat him, I guess they can't stand the instigation of the underworld."

    Tang Qiuli smiled, glanced at Chang Feng meaningfully, and said, "Chang Feng, I'm afraid you also have thoughts of interfering in the Myanmar battlefield, right?" Chang Feng's face turned red and said, "Commander, this is a common mentality. Look,  As the Japanese are fighting vigorously in central Myanmar, the British can't even take a single move. Why don't you, the officer in our army, dare to come to you and complain to me? "

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Record, call back to the aviation force, Le Yiqin, what's the matter? Seeing the lively fighting in Myanmar, your butt is hot, your heart is itchy and you can't sit still? I tell you, hold on tight. Our troops haven't entered yet.  Southeast Asia has a favorable opportunity to increase efforts to train the troops, especially the newly assigned flight cadets. When the time comes, they will be able to fight. Otherwise, I will transfer Liu Cuigang to take over your command position. "

    After Chang Feng recorded the contents of the telegram, he couldn't help but be stunned and said: "Commander, I'm afraid this is inappropriate? It will dampen the enthusiasm of the troops." Tang Qiuli waved his hand and said: "The original text is as it is, Le Yiqin, a militant,  If I am not harsher, he will still come to trouble me. In fact, the time to join the battlefield in Burma is not yet mature. The British want to save face now. If they don¡¯t come to ask for help, they will let the Japanese fight harder and lose more. When the British  When the request comes to us, the initiative is in our own hands."

    Le Yiqin, who was at the Kunming Field Airport, received a call back from his division commander Tang Qiuli. He couldn't help shrinking his neck and sweating on his head. He believed that the division commander could definitely do it and there would be no war in the north.  However, Liu Cuigang, who was idle and panicked, asked the division commander more than once to change positions with him. It is said that the division commander also had the same intention, so he should just calmly train his troops.

    A border line is divided into two situations. In China, people live as usual. Myanmar, Thailand and even the entire Indochina Peninsula are raging with war and smoke. With the retreat of the British and Burmese troops, they are rolling towards the north. In Mandeb  Alexander was so anxious that he had black lines all over his forehead. He was about to hang himself. He was looking forward to the stars and the moon. More than ten days later, the first British army to arrive in Mandalay could finally see the city of Mandalay.

    Alexander rushed out of the city and went to meet his men in person. This was the 11th Royal Infantry Brigade of the British Army in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It was located farthest from the Japanese attack arrows, so it was the fastest and most timely withdrawal.  As there were no other troops blocking the road in front, the run would be smoothest. But when Alexander saw the troops, he was so surprised that he was speechless.

    Ordinarily, the 11th Infantry Brigade had not experienced any combat at all and was a retreat of the established system. However, what General Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British Army, saw was a group of defeated soldiers. Not only did they not have trucks, tanks, or artillery, they even lacked light and heavy machine guns.  I couldn't see that many of the soldiers were empty-handed, had lost their military caps and boots, and were in extreme embarrassment.

    Alexander looked at himself and thoughtThe imaginary troops turned into a group of defeated soldiers who even lost their weapons. An uncontrollable anger rushed straight to their foreheads.
