Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After sending MacArthur away and allowing this guy to experience the master's addiction in a solid way, the drama that should be performed is over. What remains is how to fulfill Tang Qiuli's strategic intention without destroying Yangon.  To force Ito to continue to withdraw southward, he must also take Yangon into his own hands and complete full control of the Indochina Peninsula.

    Therefore, Tang Qiuli was eager to know that those problems had been discovered during the exploratory attack early this morning. Seeing the division commander asking this question, Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang who participated in the attack looked very calm and could not see other expressions. Logically speaking,  These two main corps take action. With the characters of Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang, they have never returned empty-handed. If they don't kill them, they have to tear off a piece of flesh.

    Tang Qiusheng, the commander-in-chief of the Yangon Campaign, took over the conversation and said: "Jiwu, let's talk about the situation of your corps first." Feng Jiwu put out his cigarette butt, opened the file bag he carried with him, and took out a few pages. Looking at this posture, he had  He prepared and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I'm really embarrassed. I've been busy all morning and didn't even get to the edge of the city, so the little devil came back."

    There was a burst of good-natured laughter from everyone, and Feng Jiwu continued: "For this tentative attack, our corps was responsible for the attack due west of Yangon. A total of three brigades and twelve regiments with more than 40,000 troops were dispatched.  Our deployment is like this, with battalions as units, each unit, under the cover of fifteen tanks, launches a comprehensive attack on the Japanese western defense line."

    "After the force was deployed, there were a total of forty-eight attack points. The distance between each attack force was three kilometers, which basically covered all the landforms and terrain features of the Japanese army's western Yangon defense line. Judging from the effect of the attack, it was better than we expected.  It was much worse. All units suffered varying degrees of casualties, and six tanks were lost. Although the casualties and losses were not large, we did not break through any point."

    Feng Jiwu's words immediately attracted everyone's attention. With more than 40,000 troops, the tentative attack under the cover of tanks not only yielded no results, but the troops suffered casualties, which was enough to attract everyone's attention. Tang Qiuli asked:  "What are the reasons for the casualties of the successor troops? It is very abnormal for the troops to suffer casualties during a tentative attack under the cover of tanks."

    This time, Feng Jiwu smiled bitterly. He looked at the pages in his hand and said, "The crux of the problem lies in this. The Japanese army dug a trench around the city of Yangon. According to reports from the battalion commanders of the attacking troops,  The situation was that the trench was about five meters wide and four meters deep. The bottom of the trench was filled with sea water and was about two meters deep. Our tanks, not knowing this situation in advance, were forced to stop when they reached the outside of the trench. The Japanese light and heavy machine guns were aimed at them.  The accompanying infantry fired fiercely, and the casualties of the troops occurred at this time."

    After a pause, Feng Jiwu continued: "Moreover, the Japanese army set up fire points in all the buildings and houses on the edge of the city to form a crossfire. Our offensive troops were overwhelmed and could not lift their heads. If there were no tanks,  Cover, the casualties will definitely be much greater. Not many of a battalion can come back. Furthermore, the Japanese mortars and other direct firepower pose a great threat to the infantry hidden behind the tanks."

    "Also, the tank we lost was blown up by Japanese suicide bombers. This is a situation. The Japanese bombers, covered with gunpowder, lurked in the pit outside the trench, waiting for our tanks.  As soon as you get close, you suddenly pounce out and adopt the strategy of dying together. Damn it, it¡¯s a good thing that the little devil came up with such an idea. Is this a human-shaped bomb?¡±

    There was a silence in the conference room. Everyone was thinking about what Feng Jiwu just said. For the ** division troops, capturing a big city like Yangon is a comprehensive combat issue. The ** division's mechanized equipment is most suitable for  Field battles. In the past, large-scale battles with Japanese troops were mostly in the field. Moreover, it was rare for the Japanese army to stick to a city.

    Tang Qiuli was thinking about another problem. Ito spent so much effort to dig a trench around Yangon and put up a defensive posture. From this, it seems that the top Japanese army will not give up Yangon. If they want to  Achieving the effect of the Battle of Mandalay is not as difficult as usual, and Ito will no longer dare to retreat south. It seems that the only option is to target the Japanese base camp and ask them to order Ito to retreat.

    Otherwise, the situation with the Japanese troops under Ito in Rangoon will be a fight to the death. This is not cost-effective. It is not worthwhile to let the Americans sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and take advantage of it. How can it be such a good thing? However, it needs to be solved now.  The problem was how to break into the city and put the greatest pressure on Ito. Tang Qiuli glanced at the generals who were still thinking.

    He said with a smile: "Commander Feng, who always only fights tough battles and only takes advantage without suffering any losses, this time has suffered a big defeat. Doesn't he feel very comfortable?" Feng Jiwu said with a bitter smile: "Commander, yes  To be honest, I didn¡¯t feel very comfortable after suffering such a small loss. Although I only suffered a few hundred casualties, I didn¡¯t gain anything. I was surprised that I had gained nothing in just a few days.?, there is such a trench, how much manpower will be used?  Could it be that all the people in Yangon helped the little devils dig trenches?  "

    Tang Qiuli said: "This is just the direction of your attack. If my judgment is good, Yangon should have such trenches in the other three directions except the south side with its back to the sea. Ito is an expert. He knows that we  The armor power of the Japanese army is currently difficult to resist. He did this to offset our armor advantage."

    After a pause, Tang Qiuli turned his eyes coldly and said, "Without the hard work of the citizens of Yangon, the Japanese army alone would not be able to complete such a large workload. Do the citizens of Yangon have a good impression of the Japanese?  "Listening to Tang Qiuli's cold tone, Chang Feng couldn't help but shudder. He remembered that when he conquered Myitkyina, in order to open a channel to attack the urban area as soon as possible, the division commander issued an order like this, "Carry out indiscriminate attacks on the target area.  , all-round coverage is shelling¡±

    As a result, the defending Japanese troops, thousands of residential buildings, and the citizens there were all reduced to ruins and ashes in a burst of overwhelming artillery fire. I remember that I had a fierce dispute and disagreement with the division commander because of this, and advocated severe punishment.  Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the 1st Brigade, even had the idea of ??leaving the army. Listening to the commander's current tone, he may have murderous intentions again.

    Then I thought about it, this was impossible. When the division commander was deploying before the war, he repeatedly emphasized that Yangon could not be destroyed. For this reason, even the artillery was not used. However, why did the division commander say this? Once the Myitkyina attack  What should he do about the situation? Just when Chang Feng was thinking wildly, Feng Jiwu said: "What the hell, the people in Yangon are actually helping the little devils. Is this impossible? After all, the little devils are the invaders.  , they occupy other people¡¯s countries and lands?¡±

    Tang Qiuli sneered, and then said: "There is nothing impossible. The British have implemented colonial rule in Myanmar for decades, and they have not seen any decent resistance from the local people. Now, the Japanese are here, and they  This is still the case. This cannot be said to be a national tragedy. It can only be said that the residents of Indochina and even the entire Southeast Asia region are more wary of us Chinese than any other country."

    "They would rather accept foreign rule than accept the good intentions of us Chinese. This is the difference. Everyone has not forgotten that in the first battle we entered Myanmar, during the battle to conquer Myitkyina, the local Burmese people formed  He joined the volunteer team, assisted the Japanese troops in the Terauchi Shouichi Division to fight against us, attacked our logistics convoy, blew up our ammunition depot and supply center, and assassinated our lone officers and soldiers. Chang Feng, directly under the corps Liu Hongzhang's first brigade, three points  Are all the casualties from that Burmese volunteer team?¡±

    Tang Qiuli glanced at Chang Feng specifically. It was indeed the case. At that time, Chang Feng was in charge of the battle command. During the attack on Myitkyina, the troops suffered a lot from the Burmese volunteer team. These hard-core Burmese traitors were  The troops of the * division are more ruthless than the Japanese. They blend in among the common people and will give you a grenade or a bunch of bullets unexpectedly.

    Many soldiers who did not fall at the gunpoint of the Japanese soldiers fell into the hands of these scum. Later, it was Liu Hongzhang who, with the consent of the division commander, adopted iron-fisted measures to free the troops from endless troubles.  It is an indisputable fact, so Chang Feng nodded and said: "Yes, the situation mentioned by the division commander completely happened, because I underestimated the situation at that time. For this reason, I made a statement at the military meeting  A profound review¡±

    Tang Qiuli waved his hands, obviously unwilling to get too entangled in this issue. He only said these words, "We will definitely be able to capture Yangon. There is nothing doubtful about this issue. What needs to be reminded is that we  The enemies are not only Japanese soldiers in military uniforms, but also Burmese traitors who mingle among ordinary citizens."

    After saying that, he motioned to Tang Qiusheng and the meeting continued. Tang Qiusheng said: "This is the situation of the Niangziguan garrison. Now, Hong Gang, please tell me about the situation of your corps."

    Li Honggang said: "Our situation is similar to that of Deputy Commander Feng. We also encountered trenches. The one difference is that the northern part of our corps that is responsible for attacking has many water network areas and is not suitable for tank movements and operations at all. The attack is  Launched at the same time, our regiment's offensive troops were about thirty minutes slower, and suffered more casualties than Deputy Commander Feng's troops. Many of the tanks covering our attack were stuck in the quagmire."

    Li Honggang paused and continued: "There is another thing that I think is very strange. After our attack was launched, although the Japanese counterattack firepower was fierce, there were no large-caliber artillery. At most, there were some mortars. This question is worthwhile.  Be vigilant," Feng Jiwu immediately continued: "Yes, the situation mentioned by Hong Gang is also the same with the attack front of our corps."
