"Damn it, how could the Chinese people run to us?" Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemae cursed. It can be said that the sudden appearance of anti-Japanese rescue on the east bank of the Mu River completely cut off their retreat.

Although the Mu River is only a tributary of the Irrawaddy River, it has a large amount of water. In addition, Myanmar's economic development is backward, so there are no bridges on these rivers and they can only cross the river through ships. Anti-Japanese rescue deployed artillery positions and machine gun positions on the other side of the river. It would be very difficult for the Japanese army to cross the river.

If the Japanese army could suppress the anti-Japanese rescue in firepower, they might be able to cross the river safely. But unfortunately, the Japanese army was not the opponent of the anti-Japanese rescue in firepower. In addition, Lieutenant General Shigemasa Aoki and others gave up those heavy weapons in order to escape, and only carried some heavy machine guns and grenade launchers. It would be impossible to rely on these weapons to suppress well-equipped anti-Japanese rescue.

Yukito Sato, Saburo Takehara and Masaro Masaro also had pale faces. They paid a huge price and finally retreated to Muhe. They were about to escape. But unexpectedly, something like this happened again.

"What should we do if the commander? The Chinese must have run ahead of us while we were delayed by their small troops and planes. Now, they have built a defensive position across the river, and it may be difficult for us to cross the river." Lieutenant General Sato Yukito said in the situation.

Now they can be said to have intercepted front and pursued soldiers behind. Under such circumstances, they are undoubtedly in desperate situations.

"Your Excellency Commander, why don't we continue to go south and go south along the Mu River, and then find an opportunity to cross the river." Lieutenant General Takehara Saburo suggested.

Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki shook his head: "It's impossible. The Chinese will monitor us closely and will not give us a chance to cross the river again. If we continue to go south, when the Mu River and the Irrawaddy River meet, the water will be larger and the river surface will be wider. The Chinese only need to deploy a small number of troops to stop us from crossing the river. Besides, the Chinese pursuers are already in front of us."

"What should we do?" asked Doctor General Masato Masato.

Indeed, they have no choice now. The pursuers are getting closer and closer, which will cause them to fall into the siege of anti-Japanese rescue. Once they are surrounded, the consequences can be imagined.

"Hisser Commander, the 54th Division and the 105th Independent Brigade arrived. However, the 2nd Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division of the Chinese were not far from them." Colonel Katakurazuka reported.

The arrival of the 54th Division and the 105th Independent Mixed Brigade further increased their military strength. But at the same time, the arrival of two infantry divisions of the Anti-Japanese Rescue will make their situation even more difficult. The Anti-Japanese Rescue can also directly cut off their retreat and surround them with its strong military strength.

"Build a line of defense immediately and find a way to resist the attack of the Chinese people." Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa ordered.

Now he has no other way, he can only defend hard.

"Hi, Commander." Colonel Katakura immediately went to arrange the situation. The Japanese army began to build fortifications and prepared to block the attack of anti-Japanese rescue. As for whether it could be stopped, perhaps it could only be blessed by the great god Amaterasu.

"Send a telegram to the Southern Army Command and request support." Lieutenant General Shigemasa Aoki said helplessly.

Although doing so will further reduce General Takashi Deanuchi's perception of him. But apart from this, he really couldn't think of any other way. The three divisions and two independent mixed brigades sent by the Southern Army Command were already on the way. But it may take a lot of time to arrive at the battlefield. If the reinforcements can speed up and Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa and others can hold on for a while, there may be a turning point.

"Hi, Lord Commander." The communication officer hurried to send a telegram.

Soon, the remaining troops of the Japanese army gathered together. However, the remaining troops of the 31st Division, the 49th Division and the 53rd Division were some remnants of defeated soldiers, mostly second-line troops such as baggage soldiers, engineers and communication soldiers. The important task of defending against Japanese and rescuing fell on the Japanese 54th Division and the Independent 105th Brigade.

These Japanese troops occupied an area of ​​ten kilometers long and eight kilometers wide, and tried to defend the enemy.

After the 2nd Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division arrived, they did not attack immediately, but also began to build a line of defense to surround the Japanese army.

On the afternoon of September 14, the 4th Infantry Division of the Anti-Japanese Rescue also arrived. Four infantry divisions surrounded the remaining troops of the Japanese Myanmar Front from four directions.

"Commander, the Japanese have been surrounded by us. The 1st Infantry Division is on the east bank of the Mu River, and the other three Infantry Divisions are on the west bank of the Mu River. This time, it is difficult for the Japanese to fly even if they have wings!" Yu Chengyin smiled.

Qin Shou nodded: "Although there are quite a few Japanese troops left, they have become turtles in the jar. If they want to escape, it is almost impossible. Next, we should eat them all in one go."

"Captain, are you going to attack now?" Chen Dehai asked.

In this battle, the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division and the 4th Infantry Division all annihilated a large number of Japanese troops, but only the 3rd Infantry Division did not achieve much results. They just solved the artillery of the 54th Division and the independent 105th Brigade. Compared with the other three divisions, their results were not enough. Therefore, Chen Dehai naturally couldn't wait to launch an attack and achieve greater results.

"Don't be busy with the attack. We have been chasing them for several days, and the brothers are also very tired. Let's take a break and accumulate strength and launch an attack tomorrow. In addition, the heavy artillery brigade and the armored brigade are still on the road. When they arrive, we will launch an attack. Our casualties will be much smaller." Qin Shou shook his head.

In order to catch up with the Japanese army, the troops rescued by the anti-Japanese army were also desperately chasing them. The soldiers did not even have a good rest. If they launched a rash attack at this time, the troops would definitely suffer a considerable loss.

What's more, the heavy artillery brigade and the armored brigade are powerful tools to defeat the enemy. After they arrive, they can eliminate the Japanese army at a smaller cost.

Another point is that the Japanese army lost a lot of weapons, equipment and supplies while fleeing. Qin Shou suspected that the Japanese army surrounded might not even have enough food. They hungry for a few days, and after they were so hungry that they couldn't even stand up, they would undoubtedly be easier to destroy them.
