    After a narrow escape, they were forced to fight to the death and break out from Mandalay. On the way, they were attacked by the Japanese commander Ito. The remaining troops of more than 200,000 people were struggling to support themselves on the south bank of the Yintun River.  The fragile position resisted hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops, who were attacked violently and wave after wave.  .

    Without foreign aid, I am really not sure whether the British can last until dark. Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of Japan¡¯s Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, is commanding more and more smoothly and naturally. In his opinion, this time, the British  There was no way to escape anyway. The wide surface of the Yin Dun River and the planes blocking the river were insurmountable obstacles for the British.

    The desperate resistance of the British on the south bank can be seen as a natural manifestation of the dying struggle. However, it was all in vain. He had no intention of persuading the British to surrender. Since the soldiers had already taken the lead in shooting prisoners of war, let him  If you keep this habit, it will also reduce a lot of trouble in managing prisoners of war in the future.

    What's more, the Indochina Peninsula, which is about to become the territory of the Japanese Empire, will not provide so much food to feed these hateful British guys. In Ito's heart, the British who are still fighting against the trapped beasts are already a corpse.  With a corpse, he gave the order to each attacking force, "Before twelve o'clock tonight, completely eliminate the British on the south bank of the Yindun River."

    Ito set up a headquarters more than ten kilometers away from the riverside. He listened leisurely to the intensive sound of gunfire and shouts of death with a rather enjoying expression. Major General Niequan, the chief of general staff who had already rushed back to the headquarters, had led  Following the follow-up troops, he rushed to the front line. After he reported to Ito in detail the performance of these second-line troops and baggage troops in annihilating more than 60,000 British and Burmese soldiers in the Libao Grand Canyon.

    The Commander-in-Chief's expression was as light as a puddle of water. He glanced at the respectful Koizumi. In his eyes was the confidence that he had all the wisdom in his hands, as if the rhythm of the battlefield was under his control, including what he was still doing.  More than 200,000 British and Burmese soldiers resisted needlessly.  .

    Koizumi was in a great mood to see the Commander-in-Chief. He thought it was necessary to change the topic. He asked with a tone of inquiry: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, after we annihilate the British, what should be the next step?  Is it better to make arrangements in advance for a humble job?¡±

    Ito smiled slightly. When he was in a good mood, he was very willing to teach the chief of general staff. To be honest, Koizumi was a very good subordinate. Although sometimes he seemed a little naive or stupid, and he didn't have enough brains, he could give orders to him.  ¡¤Never questioned it, and executed it to the letter. The commander was willing to use such obedient subordinates, and he would also show his wisdom and greatness. This is a wonderful psychology that many people are willing to enjoy.  This feeling, Ito is undoubtedly one of them.

    Ito said clearly: "Koizumi-kun, the British are undoubtedly dead. Tonight is when their entire army will be annihilated by the Yindun River. By then, our only opponent in Indochina will be the Chinese, especially the Chinese."  After Tang Qiuli and the British influence were eradicated, someone needed to fill this gap. "

    "It's either the Chinese or our Empire of Japan, and the behavior of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli in Burma all shows his coveting of the Indochina Peninsula. Although the British and the Chinese are allies, Tang Qiuli  Qiu Li would rather capture Myitkyina than go south to Mandalay to relieve the besieged British, which explains the problem. "

    Koizumi was dazzled by what he heard. Because Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force had never fought against the Japanese Army, Koizumi's intuition about the concept of the Chinese Army was still relatively vague. It was just a group of big guns carrying old-fashioned rifles.  Just a smoker, he had never thought deeply that the inferior Chinese people would be a strong opponent in Commander-in-Chief Ito's heart. Before that, he had always believed that the British were the biggest obstacle to the Japanese Empire's occupation of the Indochina Peninsula.

    Koizumi's expression made Ito Yanzaburo enjoy it very much. It was rare for him to watch hundreds of thousands of enemy troops disappear into ashes on a war-torn battlefield while analyzing the future situation for his subordinates and playing the role of a mentor. This was a rare moment.  This is a very strange feeling. It is said in the ancient Chinese military book, "Those who make calculations before fighting will be victorious!" Perhaps I have this kind of mood at the moment.  .

    Ito continued in an increasingly amiable tone: "The problem has two aspects. First, Tang Qiuli does not have enough troops to go to Mandalay for rescue. Otherwise, he himself will be surrounded by more than 500,000 imperial troops.  Tang Qiuli would not do such an obviously dangerous thing with his cunning. Therefore, he would rather open the road to India for the British and give an explanation in all aspects. From this point of view, Tang Qiuli  This person will be our strongest opponent.¡±

    "Second, the trilateral military alliance of China, Britain and the United States each has its own interests and needs, and is not monolithic or intimate internally. In order to preserve his strength, Tang Qiuli did not go to Mandalay, but captured Mina. ThisThe craftsmanship was very beautiful, but invisibly, seeds of discord were sown in this military alliance.

    "Third, perhaps, Tang Qiuli's fundamental hope is that if the British disappear in the hands of our Imperial Japanese Army, he will not take chestnuts from the fire for the British. Moreover, when we fight with the British, no matter which side  Being consumed will be beneficial to Tang Qiuli's power to gain a foothold in Indochina."

    Koizumi became nervous at that time and asked hurriedly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, according to your analysis, aren't we trying to eliminate opponents on behalf of the Chinese people? We have fallen into the trap of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli to kill people with a borrowed knife? And our own strength,  Was part of it consumed?"

    Ito shook his head and continued: "Koizumi-kun, you only consider one of them. I insisted on launching the Indochina Campaign against the British because I was worried. I was worried that the Imperial Army would spend too long in the South Pacific.  The British felt the pressure to give up certain interests and join forces with the Chinese. We will face two opponents, a developed industrial country and China with abundant human resources. Our battle will become extremely fierce.  difficult."

    "Tang Qiuli's selfish approach just created every opportunity for me to defeat, first the British, then the Chinese, and Mr. Koizumi. I dare to say that in the future, our attacks on Luzon and Mindanao will not be able to defeat even the Americans.  In the same situation as the British, Tang Qiuli still wouldn't extend his hand. This is what the so-called agency is too clever."

    "So, our next course of action is, first, to go south and attack the places where the Americans are entrenched, and second, to continue to go north, recover Burma, and then occupy the entire Indo-China Peninsula, expel or eliminate the Chinese forces, and turn them into an empire.  To truly stabilize the rear and lay the foundation for another attack on the China mainland, I personally prefer the latter. Mr. Koizumi, from now on, your attention must be focused on Tang Qiuli. Our opponent,  He is a Chinese, and a battle with Tang Qiuli is inevitable sooner or later. "

    After a long lecture, Major General Koizumi used what he later said to other officers of the General Headquarters, "I was enlightened and enlightened." Koizumi suddenly stood at attention and replied emotionally: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Staff  I will definitely provide you with all the information about the Chinese Tang Qiuli when you need it.¡±

    If Tang Qiuli were right in front of him, he would definitely be quite surprised by Ito's analysis. Although Ito's analysis of his own psychology and the war situation in Indochina was not accurate, his words were also biased and far from the truth.  Not far away, Ito is not a simple person, and does not have the blind arrogance that usually occurs among senior Japanese generals.

    Instead, he has a calm and clear mind, grasps the battle situation accurately, and judges the opponent's psychology with clarity. It seems that Tang Qiuli listed Ito Yanzaburo as another strong opponent responsible for commanding the Japanese theater after Okamura Neiji.  , not unreasonable.

    Ito nodded slightly, looked at his chief of staff with satisfaction, and motioned for him to get busy. Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded near the headquarters. The air wave shook Ito, and the command tent also swayed left and right.  , it seemed that it would collapse at any time. Ito glanced outside the tent in surprise, and then, several more bombs fell.  #

    The flames of the explosion stung Ito's eyes. He was very puzzled. He pursued the British from Mandalay to the Yindun River. Until now, the British have lost more than half of their troops and almost all their heavy weapons.  Is there a heavy artillery with such a long range?  Incredible.

    Just when Ito was suspicious, a lieutenant general rushed into the tent and said hurriedly: "Report to the Commander-in-Chief that more than a hundred British planes suddenly joined the battlefield and launched a violent attack on the troops I was attacking.  Bombing, our aviation fleet is engaged in air combat with British aircraft. This place is no longer safe. Please move away immediately!"

    Ito stood up suddenly, and the complacency and joy on his face were wiped away. He had calculated everything, but he did not expect that the British would come on the plane. It must be flying from the direction of India. If it is normal,  Ito is not worried about air combat. With the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Japanese Air Force, the British air force will be as vulnerable as the army.

    But in order to obtain the best blockade effect, Ito transferred in, except for a brigade of fighter jets, the rest were bombers. In an air battle, he was definitely going to suffer a loss. Even if there were no fighter jets to take off now, it would still be impossible.  It's too late. I'm afraid that by the time the imperial fighter jets arrive, the bombers will have been smashed into pieces all over the sky by the British.

    Ito's face was ashen, why would accidents always happen when victory is about to be achieved? {With air cover, the number of people who can escape the Yindun River will be much higher. No, they must all be killed before the British retreat.  Annihilation, "Convey my order to attack the troops. At any cost, the British army must be annihilated on the south bank of the Yindu River before dark," Ito almost roared.said.
