On the roads in northern Myanmar, the Japanese army was marching in long queues. Although these Japanese army were shorter, they were very strong. In terms of physical strength, they were generally above the Chinese.

In a car, Lieutenant General Mutaguchiya was sitting in the back seat, closing his eyes to rest. Chief of Staff of the Division, Colonel Bai Jiaxie, was sitting next to him. In the front co-pilot, was sitting at the staff of the Grand Prix Sanhashi.

Suddenly, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi opened his eyes: "How far is it from Myitkyina?"

"Sir Commander of the Division, we are about three days away from Myitkyina. The roads in northern Myanmar are rugged, and the troops can only use their legs to rush, so the speed is a little slower." Colonel Bai Jiaximing replied.

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi nodded: "Where are the other two divisions?"

This time, three Japanese divisions besieged Myitkyina. Before the commander of the Myanmar Front, Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki, took office, was temporarily controlled by Lieutenant General Mutaguchi. In other words, the 33rd Division and the 55th Division were both under his command this time.

"Your Excellency the Division Commander, the 33rd Division is just three days away from Myitkyina, just like us. The 55th Division, because the distance is a little further, will be about seven days before it can arrive."

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi couldn't help but frowned: "Let the 55th Division speed up, what the Chinese people are best at is to catch the opportunity and defeat us one by one."

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi believed that if the three Japanese divisions acted together, they could completely crush the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. However, the three divisions acted separately. This also gave the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army the opportunity. The annihilation of the 112th and 46th Japanese Army Regiments is the best example that they deserve to learn from.

"Your Excellency the division commander, the Chinese people should not have that big appetite, right? This time, we dispatched division-level troops, not one or two regiments." Colonel Bai Jiaximing said with a smile.

"Bai Jiajun, we cannot relax at all, otherwise we will suffer a great loss. I can see that the Chinese people entrenched in Myitkyina are not easy to deal with. Although they were just a group of defeated soldiers at first, they could develop into the current situation in a short period of time. If we do not pay attention to it and do our best, we will suffer a great loss sooner or later." Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryo's face was full of solemn expressions.

"Hi, Master of the Division, I have received my humble teachings." Colonel Bai Jiaximing looked nervous and trepidated.

"Secretary Commander, do we need to slow down and wait for the 55th Division?" asked Major Teof Mihashi.

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "Forget it. As long as we maintain the same speed as the 33rd Division, the Chinese people will not be able to do anything to us. Although we marched separately, the Chinese people do not have the ability to eat our division in one bite. If time is delayed, Aoki Jun will probably have an objection."

When it comes to Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki, commander of the Burmese Front, Colonel Bai Jiaxie and Major Taefu Mihashi, shut up immediately. In the Japanese-Chinese army with strict hierarchy, their subordinates are not qualified to discuss their superiors.

Of course, they all knew that Lieutenant General Mutaguchi had very objections to Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki as the commander of the Myanmar Front. As we all know, the performance of the 18th Division on the battlefield in Myanmar was well known. He always believed that even if he wanted to form the Myanmar Front, he should be the commander of the Front.

Although the commander of the Front Army and the commander of the division are both lieutenant generals, their positions are completely different. If you have the qualifications to serve as commander of the Front Army, it will be much easier to be promoted to a general.

However, unfortunately, the Myanmar Front has been formed, but the commander is not him. This naturally made Lieutenant General Mutaguchi very unhappy.

Lieutenant General Mutaguchi attributed this to the 46th Regiment's defeat, which made General Soichi Teraunuchi, the commander of the Southern Army, dissatisfied with him. This made Lieutenant General Mutaguchi very dissatisfied with the Japanese National Salvation Army, and wanted to kill them all.

"Send a telegram to Sakurai Kwan and Takeuchi Kwan. Sakurai Kwan must ask him to be consistent with us and attack Myitkyina together. Takeuchi Kwan's side, ask him to speed up!"

"Hi, Mr. Commander of the Division!" Colonel Bai Jiaximing nodded.

On the road from the Hukang Valley to Myitkyina, more than 10,000 Japanese 33rd Division were marching. Although the 33rd Division was just a three-unit division, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. They performed very well on the previous Myanmar battlefield. The British and Chinese Expeditionary Forces were defeated.

This time, after being ordered to fight south, the Third Lieutenant General Sakurai Temple did not take the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army seriously. In his opinion, the defeated soldiers were defeated, and no matter how hard they could become a first-class strong army. The reason why the Japanese 18th Division and the 55th Division suffered a loss was entirely because they were too trash.

Now, the Third Lieutenant General Sakurai Temple is standing on the hillside by the road with a group of staff, looking at the Japanese army's marching formation, and nodding with satisfaction.

"This is the elite of the Great Japanese Empire! It is precisely with such elites that we can be invincible on the battlefield!"

"Telecommunication from the 18th Division," Chief of Staff Colonel Tanaka Tetsujiro reported.

"Remember!" Sakurai Secretariat No. 3 Lieutenant General Sakurai did not even look back.

"The Myitkyina army is strong. I hope the 33rd Division will control the marching speed and cooperate with the 18th Division to attack Myitkyina in three days. Do not advance alone, and be seized by the Chinese people and defeated them one by one."

"Hmph! It seems that Muda-kun has been scared to death." Lieutenant General Sakurai Sakurai snorted coldly.

"Secretary Commander, Mutianjun is indeed a little too cautious." Infantry Commander Major General Yamamoto said with a smile.

The three-unit division and four-unit division are different, and there is no infantry brigade. Instead, it is composed of three infantry regiments to form an infantry regiment, forming the main front-line combat force of the division. Under the division, there are also artillery, engineers, baggage and other troops.

"Well, don't pay attention to Mutianjun and continue to maintain our speed."

"Hi, Master of the Division." Colonel Tanaka Tetsujiro nodded.

On the other hand, Lieutenant General Takeuchi Kurata after receiving the telegram, he did not take this seriously. However, he still ordered the troops to speed up as much as possible. The 112th Regiment was completely wiped out, which was a great humiliation for him. He urgently hoped that in this battle, he could completely defeat the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army and avenge his previous shame.

The three Japanese divisions were divided into three groups to besiege Myitkyina. The Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army faced the most difficult battle since its establishment.
