    The idea of ??General Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of Japan¡¯s Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, is not incorrect. In the absence of a large number of heavy artillery to form the backbone of the battle¡¯s firepower, it is a practical method to use aircraft to destroy a large number of enemy armored forces.

    More importantly, after the outer trenches surrounding Yangon lost their role in blocking the tanks of the ** Division, the Japanese army's peripheral defense line was seriously threatened. On the peripheral defense line, the ** Division's attack strength was not consumed as much as possible.  When its offensive energy is exhausted, it enters the street fighting stage prematurely, which is extremely detrimental to future urban defense operations.

    In a word, Tang Qiuli suddenly took action against Yangon, disrupting Ito's planned steps. The battle process was not proceeding as he had imagined. Therefore, he wanted to dispatch the military air force to gain this buffer time for the Japanese army and also to  Get rid of the most powerful tank unit of the Imperial Army against the Imperial Army soldiers.

    Ito did not wait anxiously for long. Lieutenant General Nomura quickly called back, but the content almost made the Commander-in-Chief's nose angry. "The order has been received. In view of the newly arrived fighter wing and bomber wing at Yulin base,  We are not fully prepared. I believe that it is not appropriate for the air force to go into battle immediately. Please forgive me, Commander-in-Chief."

    Ito tore up Nomura's telegram. This bastard dared to disobey my order and miss this rare opportunity. It is impossible to find such a fighter plane. Did Nomura think that the tanks of the Japanese Army would be in order?  Are they lined up together, waiting for your plane to blow up?  And, according to reports from frontline troops.  The attack formation of the ** division's tanks was extremely dense.

    Ito angrily ordered the confidential staff to "give the order to Commander Nomura of the Japan Dispatch Army Aviation Force again. As the Commander-in-Chief of the Japan Dispatch Army, I ordered that the aviation force must immediately rush to the Yangon battlefield to destroy the armored cluster of the ** Division."  If you disobey military orders, I will take the most severe punishment against Nomura."

    Ito¡¯s anger reached an unbearable level.  If Nomura is in Yangon, the commander-in-chief who is extremely angry may chop off Nomura's head, and Lieutenant General Nomura will unfortunately become the first person in the Imperial Japanese Army to have his head chopped off by his superiors.  Senior officer, in fact, this is not that Lieutenant General Nomura intentionally disobeyed military orders or used excuses to delay.  Or maybe he was defying Ito's authority.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? It was Ito's knowledge of aviation warfare, and for some unknown reason, Taiwan dispatched a fleet of aircraft to support the aircraft.  It only took about two days to arrive at the Yulin Air Force Base on Hainan Island.  It involves a series of complex preparations such as the clarification of meteorological conditions in the theater, familiarity with routes, aircraft fleet drills, and ground-to-air communication.

    Ito¡¯s idea is very simple. Once the plane is in the sky, just throw bombs as hard as you can.  But Nomura is an expert, after receiving the second harshly worded order from Commander-in-Chief Ito.  Nomura could only smile bitterly. The only option was to dispatch bombers and fighter jets. Judging from Commander-in-Chief Ito's tone, he might lose his head if he did not carry out the order.

    Nomura ordered: "Tsinmu Bomber Wing dispatched two groups of bombers to the Yangon airspace to carry out bombing missions. Guangqi Fighter Wing dispatched one group of fighter jets to be responsible for escorting. The Operations Department immediately contacted Yangon  Contact the General Headquarters and request them to provide ground and air contact to indicate bombing targets.¡±

    Air Force Chief of Operations Colonel Ryusuke had no choice but to remind: "Commander, the current situation of our Air Force makes it impossible to carry out airborne combat missions. Why don't you explain it to the Commander-in-Chief and explain the actual situation?"

    Nomura smiled bitterly, "Explanation? Given Commander-in-Chief Ito's current state, what explanation will he listen to? I'm afraid that all his explanations will be regarded by him as an excuse to disobey military orders." But can he say these words to his subordinates?  , Nomura looked at his chief of operations and said only one sentence, "Ryuusuke-kun, execute the order!"

    Nomura's orders to Ito were not without discount. He only sent two groups of bombers and one group of fighters. Two painful lessons over the South China Sea wiped out the entire aviation fleet's assets, leaving Nomura to remember  Having recognized the power of the ** Division Air Force, he definitely did not dare to take it lightly, especially when the aircraft had just been replenished and had not yet formed combat capabilities.

    Ito received a call back from Nomura again. This time, he was very satisfied. He exhaled heavily through his nose and thought to himself: "Nomura is such a boring guy. If he is satisfied with being fully prepared, why should he execute the order? It is clearly contempt.  I, as the commander-in-chief, have the authority to settle accounts with Nomura after the Battle of Rangoon is over." In Ito's heart, Nomura was already on the list of those who were not his confidants.

    After dealing with the dispatched military air force, Ito's attention turned to the battlefield outside Yangon. He picked up the phone and "called Chief of Staff Kawashima." Maybe the operator was a fool or a novice who didn't notice the signal.He came from the General Headquarters and replied without thinking: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, is busy with military affairs and has no time. Please call back in five hours!"

    After saying "Bata" and cutting off the line, Ito was stunned and didn't react for a while. When he woke up and felt the smell, his hands and feet were cold and his mouth was burnt and dry. He called the phone again. Before the operator could answer him, he thundered.  He roared angrily: "Baga! I am Commander-in-Chief Ito. You are working hard to get me to pick up Kawashima!"

    This time, Kawashima was connected very quickly. Probably, as soon as the commander-in-chief¡¯s name was announced, the operator was so scared that he peed his pants. ¡°Kawashima-kun, how is the situation on the front line? The Burmese volunteers are in place.  No?" Ito asked anxiously.

    Kawashima's voice was very nervous, "Commander-in-Chief, the situation is very bad. The tanks of the ** Division have broken through our peripheral positions in many places. However, for some reason, Tang Qiuli's troops did not continue to advance towards the city.  , It¡¯s just to clear out our army¡¯s firepower points and bunkers in the occupied area and expand the breakthrough point.¡±

    Kawashima doesn't understand, but Ito understands. "Kawashima-kun, Tang Qiuli is cleaning up the periphery, consuming as much of the imperial army's effective strength as possible in areas that are conducive to tanks exerting their power, so as to reduce resistance in future street battles. You  We must immediately put the Burmese Volunteer Team into battle. Remember, this is our best time to destroy the tanks of the ** Division. Order the frontline troops to hold on for another three to four hours. The Air Force will send bombers to join the Yangon battlefield.  "

    Putting down the phone, Ito felt depressed. What happened today? Everything was not going well. First, he had a fight with that guy from Nomura, and then, he was beaten to a pulp by an operator. ***,  I'm so angry that I have to find a place to vent. Otherwise, Your Excellency, the majestic Commander-in-Chief, will you get sick from the frustration?

    "Order the military police to immediately arrest the operator in the telecommunications room and execute him," Ito ordered. The combat staff who carried out the order felt very uncomfortable. Why are you, a majestic army general, having trouble with a small operator?  ?  Is it worth it?  Doesn¡¯t this force us, junior officers, to despise you?

    The fighting situation outside Yangon, as Kawashima saw, the tanks of the ** Division had already broken through many Japanese positions, but they did not develop in depth. Instead, they expanded the breakthrough, one shot at a time, slowly and slowly.  Knocking down the Japanese army's bunkers, bunkers, and firepower points, the Japanese army's outer positions were filled with fireworks.

    The infantry accompanying the tank attack are quite depressed. The main work has been done by the tank soldiers. We are just hiding behind the tanks like this?  It's like picking up leftovers, picking up a few little devils who slipped through the net, it's not enough!  Looking ahead is the urban area of ??Yangon, but I don't know why, the commander just didn't give the order to attack in depth. He looked at it with greedy eyes and swallowed his saliva!

    For the tank soldiers of the ** Division, there is no easier battle than this. There is no threat from heavy artillery or anti-tank weapons. Those Japanese soldiers who are covered in grenades, bursting with Bushido spirit, and howling to rush towards them, have not yet waited.  In front of him, he was beaten to the ground by the infantry sniper accompanying the attack.

    The rifles and machine guns in the hands of the little devils are almost like tickling tanks. After knocking on those bunkers for a while, there are not many left. There are more than a dozen tanks, and not even one has a turn. The tank soldiers also feel that,  This battle was not a satisfying one. Not to mention other things, the little Japanese machine gunner who was fighting vigorously in that building was spitting out flames. As soon as the tank throttled up, a dozen rounds of artillery shells were sent in, and it could be completed in three to five minutes.  After finishing the work, why don't you just wander around in the same place?

    At the forward headquarters, Feng Jiwu, who was commanding the attack, held up his binoculars and stared at the battlefield situation intently. The division commander had an order to knock out the Burmese volunteer team who was about to carry out a suicide attack. God knows what it was.  More fierce than the little devil?

    However, Feng Jiwu did not take it lightly. Although the commander's order was not stated clearly, he could guess from the words "suicide attack, a trick played by the little devils. Change the soup without changing the medicine to prevent them from getting close."  That¡¯s the tank.¡±

    At this time, the high-altitude observation post reported: "Regiment headquarters, observation post No. 1 reported that a large number of armed troops appeared about two kilometers away from our tank attack column and were advancing towards our tank unit in separate ways!"

    Feng Jiwu said without raising his head: "Quickly identify the enemy's identity, military uniforms, and military flag style!" The director of operations conveyed Feng Jiwu's order to each observation post, and immediately came back with the message "Wear Japanese military uniforms, and the military flags are  A style I¡¯ve never seen before.¡±

    Feng Jiwu muttered, "This is probably the Burmese volunteer team, right?" Then he ordered: "Order, all attacking tank units maintain their attack formation and retreat immediately. Be careful not to let these death-defying ghosts get too close.  Get close, accompany the attacking infantry, and kill these bastards." After that, he put down the telescope.

    No longer pay attention to the situation on the battlefield???He is really not interested in such a battle. The reason is simple: the opponent is too weak.
