    ~< >-~

    The commander-in-chief of Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, General Ito Genzaburo, brought more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers to Yangon, the capital of Myanmar. In the days that followed, Ito was waiting for news from the mainland. Whether it was good or bad, he was prepared.  After spending decades in the Imperial Army, Ito knew what a mistake he had made.

    But after waiting for a few days, nothing happened. There was no order from the base camp to dispose of him, nor news of sending someone to take over his position. Ito felt unsure, and kept mumbling that he did not dare to have the extravagant hope of disobeying His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp.  ordered to evacuate northern Myanmar. Such a big thing passed silently.

    Not to mention anything else, Lieutenant General Takemura Yamaichi, the former Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Forces who was dismissed and imprisoned by him, was sent back to the mainland by him after arriving in Yangon. This guy must have a grudge against him, in front of the big men at the base camp.  He doesn't speak well of himself, so his calmness is definitely not normal.

    Ito couldn't sit still anymore, and used various connections to find out the base camp's attitude towards him. Strangely, no news came back at all. This made Ito feel like his days were like a year, and he hadn't even taken a breath yet. China Devil Tang Qiu  Li's hundreds of thousands of troops were pressing on Yangon again. He had to put aside his heart-wrenching irritability for the time being and cheer up to deal with the huge pressure from the ** division troops.

    When Ito calmed down, he went through everything from the retreat from Mandalay to the retreat to Yangon. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. The defeat of Mogok was the result of his own luck.  , I can't blame others, but what happened in Mandalay made Ito think about the bitter taste.

    ¡°According to our own situation and battlefield situation at the time, it was entirely possible for the ** Division troops to flank Mandalay to cut off their southward retreat and encircle the dispatched troops on the line from Libao to Mandalay, but.  Tang Qiuli did not do this. He could intercept and kill his own ** division troops. He only surrounded and annihilated the four divisions he sent to guard, and then.  The more than 200,000 imperial soldiers were allowed to retreat southward calmly.

    What happened next was even more unbelievable. The ** Air Force, which had air superiority, was just attacking the rearguard of the Imperial Army. If it was an intensive bombing along the way, it would blow up all the bridges.  It took less than three days to slow down the imperial army's retreat. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers from the Imperial Army surged up like a tide.

    "The dispatched troops can only continue to retreat southward by fighting and retreating, blocking layer upon layer of attacks. If this is the case, how many of the imperial troops who have withdrawn to Yangon will be left?  Ito himself didn¡¯t even know.  However, all these battles that should have happened naturally did not happen.  The ambush and pursuit troops that I judged did not appear.

    Based on Ito's understanding of Tang Qiuli, he didn't think that this ruthless China devil would make such an obvious and low-level mistake. After putting together what happened before and after Ito, he thought about it and came to the conclusion that this was  A game of cat and mouse.  It is very unfortunate that he and the more than 200,000 imperial soldiers are the mice in this game.

    After coming to this conclusion, Ito was so depressed that he almost yelled, "Tang Qiuli, you Chinese devil. What are you going to do?" In fact, Ito knew best that Tang Qiuli let himself go on purpose. In other words, Ito knew best.  , Tang Qiuli did not regard himself as an opponent, and the feeling of being despised by his opponent was undoubtedly a huge shame for Ito, who had a high self-esteem.

    This feeling of shame, like a dull knife, cut into his spirit and soul, making him so depressed that he almost spurted blood. However, he could not understand why Tang Qiuli, the sworn enemy of the Japanese Empire, did this.  Do, what does he want to do, what is his conspiracy and intention?  Is it because he enjoys the pleasure of insulting an imperial general and two hundred thousand brave imperial soldiers?

    From a purely military point of view, the Imperial Southeast Asia Expedition Force no longer exists. It was encircled and annihilated in Mandalay, and all of them were shattered. However, I and my soldiers are well in Yangon City. This is all because of China.  Given by the devil, being given a chance to live by his opponents and enemies in this way, Ito had the urge to commit suicide by caesarean section immediately.

    He couldn't figure out Tang Qiuli's intentions and intentions, and he didn't know what the base camp was going to do with him. These two huge mysteries lingered in Ito's heart and tortured the majestic Imperial Japanese Army General.  He was nervous. Even if Ito was possessed by Amaterasu, he would not know that Tang Qiuli's intention of letting him go was actually very simple. He was just like a mad dog, biting Americans, nothing more.

    In Japan, as Ito guessed, there was absolutely no peace. There were two completely different opinions in the base camp regarding any treatment of Ito. Mainly from the naval side, they advocated severe punishment for Ito who disobeyed the enemy and refused to implement His Majesty the Emperor's plan for the Burma Campaign.  , what he did has tarnished the emperor's honor.

    "Removing him from office, investigating him, and imprisoning him for life, if we don't shoot him, is already"?In view of past achievements, the army will certainly not agree to severely punish such a theater commander and let the navy guys take the opportunity to kill one of their generals. Although there are many factions within the army,  Dogs bite each other, and Takemura Sanichi, who had been in prison for several days, did not say anything good about Ito, and moreover, he even made a jealous complaint.

    But once it came to the fight with the navy, they immediately stopped their efforts and unanimously spoke to the outside world. Even Takemura, who hated Ito to the bone, was called by several big bosses, and even persuaded, warned, and threatened.  Takemura, "This is not a disagreement within the Army, but a matter of competing with the Navy for war dominance. You have to think clearly about what to say and what is best left to rot in your stomach."

    Takemura finally understood that even if Ito was a complete bastard, at this time, he still had to praise his bad feet in front of the big bosses of the Navy. This was not the time to step on dog paws, or after the superficial lawsuit with the Navy was over.  , we raised the old accounts again, and when Emperor Hirohito held another imperial meeting to discuss how to deal with Ito, Lieutenant General Takemura Yamaichi, who wished he had dug up the ancestral grave of the Ito family, suddenly transformed into a witness and participant in that battle.

    It should be admitted that Lieutenant General Takemura Yamaichi, who has been doing map work, has a very solid theoretical foundation and a good eloquence. In order to increase his persuasiveness, he also personally drew a battlefield situation map, talking and gesticulating, and expressing his emotions.  , evolved Ito into a hero who was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire of Japan, and risked disobeying military orders and losing his reputation to dispatch troops to Southeast Asia who were in extreme danger, bringing out the image of a born hero.

    Finally, Takemura almost choked and said: "To sum up, as the chief of staff of the dispatched army at the time, I fiercely opposed Ito-kun's decision to withdraw south to Yangon. For this reason, a fierce conflict broke out between us. Afterwards,  After calming down and thinking carefully, Ito-kun¡¯s decision was correct. He preserved the strength of the Japanese Empire.¡±

    Wu Cun wiped away the non-existent tears and continued to speak impassionedly: "I also think, if it were me, what would I do? The answer is, I will continue to carry out the orders of the base camp and will not retreat south, because  , I don¡¯t have Ito-kun¡¯s courage and selfless spirit. He is a true samurai and the pride of our army.¡±

    "But what will be the consequences? The Empire's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force will all be shattered in Mandalay, and the Imperial Army's vitality will be severely damaged. Then, today's Yang~~-< >-Network Update~~ light, will  It is a situation with no troops to defend and an empty city. I am afraid that at this moment, it has fallen into the hands of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, and our Japanese Empire will lose an important bridgehead. "

    It should be said that Takemura is a top-notch actor, with excellent acting skills and eloquence. Of course, the Navy will not completely believe Takemura's hype, but there is no evidence to refute it. If Ito is forced to be punished, I am afraid that even His Majesty the Emperor will not agree.  , several big bosses of the navy could only sigh secretly, "The efforts to compete for the dominance of the empire's foreign wars have been in vain again."

    Emperor Hirohito knew better than that general about the causes and consequences of the Myanmar battlefield. The order he personally issued to dispatch troops to Southeast Asia to implement the Myanmar battle plan was originally a difficult task for Ito. The imperial troops on the Myanmar battlefield, whether  Both the troops and equipment were inferior to the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli's troops, so the battle was a close call.

    But, who can understand my worries?  Those greedy and selfish Americans see the benefits and pounce on them with red eyes. Who can guarantee that they will not insert a knife in the back of the imperial troops dispatched to Southeast Asia? They just want to avoid the imperial troops from being in danger of being attacked from both sides.  The situation was so great that he insisted on launching the Burmese war against the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.

    In hindsight, I was too impatient and hasty, which is why Ito disobeyed orders and made things difficult for Ito. Now it¡¯s fine. Shintaro Nakamura has brought new information. Americans will not intervene in the Southeast Asian war. Their nature  Yes, they are afraid of war with the powerful Japanese Empire. In other words, they will never take the initiative to fight themselves unless the empire fights them.

    Ever since Emperor Hirohito received Nakamura's intelligence, he despised the Americans from the bottom of his heart. They were just a piece of fat meat without bones and could be cut with a knife at any time. The empire's troops in Southeast Asia could safely and boldly fight against the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.  troops fought.

    Hirohito coughed lightly, and the attention of the Japanese military and political leaders who attended the imperial meeting immediately focused on him. Hirohito said in his usual slow and cold tone: "What happened is already obvious, and there is no need to argue anymore.  Ito was willing to take risks and improvise, thus avoiding heavy losses to the Imperial Army. Who among the people present has such courage?"

    No one spoke, Hirohito continued: "The Empire's Southeast Asia dispatched troops will not make personnel adjustments, and the military strengthThe equipment and equipment need to be strengthened and replenished. Yangon must be defended. The empire cannot lose such an important strategic point. This important task should be shouldered by Ito-kun!  "

    Hirohito¡¯s few words basically set the tone. The war situation in Yangon was developing in the direction that Tang Qiuli was worried about.  ~< >-~
