Chapter 1773 Persevere to the end
Gu Di Na Hua Xiong said in a deep voice: "In this case, there is only one possibility."
"You mean, Zhong Yi drew troops from the Ren'an-Kang battlefield on the left wing?" Ishihara said, "Although Anda 23 on the left wing is just a fool, the four divisions of the 27th Army are elite and new forces. Unlike our 25th Army's fourth divisions have been fighting fiercely with the Chinese army on the Myanmar battlefield for nearly two months. How dare Zhong Yi do this? Isn't he afraid of the collapse of the left wing battlefield?"
Gu Dina Huaxiong said: "Otherwise, how can I explain the Chinese reinforcements of Mitela?"
Ishihara Kanji said after pondering for a moment: "Let Aung San send someone to investigate immediately."
"Hayi." Gu Dina Huaxiong paused and signaled the staff beside him to find Aung San.
But Ishihara Kaner stood up and walked to the map, and his gloomy eyes fell on the map.
On the map, several combat staff from the 25th Army General Staff have even drawn maps for the next stage, pointing the big red arrow marked as the 18th Division to Misha behind Mitela.
Misha is also the last line of defense to defend Mandela, an important city in Myanmar.
But now, this map is invalid because the 18th Division failed to break through the national army's defense line.
Gu Di, Huaxiong followed and said, "Commander, although it is not clear how many troops Zhong Yi has drawn from the left-wing battlefield, it is conservatively estimated that at least three to five divisions. The 18th Division has lost the support of the Air Force and insufficient ammunition supply, so the situation has become very complicated."
After a pause, Gu Di Na Huaxiong continued: "According to the information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Zhong Yi has sent a pilot to Egypt to receive the plane. If nothing unexpected happens, the Chinese Air Force will appear over Myanmar within half a month. By then, the situation in Myanmar may not be expected."
"Kun Gu Di, don't panic." Ishihara Kan said, "Not whether the Chinese Air Force can appear on the Myanmar battlefield within half a month, even if they really appear, it will not be a threat, because the second batch of 3,000 tons of air kerosene provided by the base camp at that time had long arrived in Yangon."
"That's true," said Huaxiong Gu Di. "Just just based on aircraft experience and tactical literacy, the pilots of the Imperial Air Force are world-class. Even if the Chinese Air Force has obtained American fighter jets, they will definitely not be an opponent of the Imperial Air Force."
After pausing, Gu Dina Huaxiong said again: "But once the Chinese Air Force participates, the 7th and 8th Air Divisions will not be able to provide sufficient air firepower support to the 25th and 27th Army as before. In this way, the pressure on the 25th and 27th Army will be greatly increased."
"That's okay." Ishihara Kanur said calmly, "Without the Air Force's firepower support, will the army stop fighting?"
After pausing for a moment, Ishihara Kanir continued: "After taking a step back, even if the army's offensive suffered setbacks after losing the firepower support of the air force, the army's offensive was setback. At worst, it would be possible to turn to defense on the spot and wait for reinforcements. Is it possible that the Chinese army still has the ability to launch a counterattack against our Myanmar Front?"
"The Chinese army launched a counterattack?" Gu Dina Huaxiong shook his head, "This is absolutely impossible."
"So, you have nothing to worry about." Ishihara said, "From the beginning, my Myanmar Front has been invincible, and the result can only be a win or a draw. Although it is good to win, a draw is not unacceptable. After all, even if it eventually develops into a war of attrition, the Chinese Army will not have any chance."
After a pause, he continued: "Modern warfare is the industrial manufacturing capacity of both sides! How long can the pitiful industrial manufacturing capacity of Ichina last? As for the United States, the industrial manufacturing capacity of the United States is indeed very strong, but it is still unknown whether it can be converted into production capacity. Even if it is successfully converted into industrial production capacity and produces a large amount of military supplies, it is afraid that it will not be able to arrive in Myanmar, because there are two oceans between Myanmar and the United States!"
"Sodesna!" After listening to Ishihara Kan's analysis, Tani Na Huaxiong was completely relieved.
"Kun Tani, so there is nothing to worry about." Ishihara Kanir patted Tani Huaxiong on the shoulder and said, "The victory on the battlefield in Myanmar must be only belongs to the Great Japanese Imperial Army."
...
In Mandalay, the chief of the Myanmar War Zone.
Wang Geng said: "General, the situation was really thrilling at that time. When the 122nd Division was half a step late, the Mitella defense line would allow the Japanese to break through, and the Battle of Mandalay could not continue."
Zhong Yi nodded and asked again: "Have the defense line completely stabilized?"
"Stabilize." Wang Geng said, "From the 122nd Division, the other nine divisions of the 22nd Army also rushed to the Mitela line. After receiving reinforcements from the 22nd Army, the 27th and 30th Army organized a counterattack, regaining the positions that had been lost in the previous few days, and the front line was pushed back to its original time."
"But the soldiers who died cannot survive." Zhong Yi sighed lightly and said, "Have the casualties of the 27th and 30th Army been counted?"
"The exact number has not come out yet." Wang Geng shook his head and said again, "But the approximate number has come out. There are 80,000 troops in the 20th division of the 27th and 30th Army, and there are about 5,000 left."
Zhong Yi's face suddenly collapsed, and only 5,000 people were beaten to 80,000! More than 90% of the staff were reduced?
Wang Geng said again: "But fortunately, most of the time our army controls the battlefield, so not many people died in battle, most of them were injured. Now several field hospitals in Wendun and Misha have been filled with wounded."
After pausing, Wang Geng said again: "What I am worried about now is that even if I have obtained reinforcements from the 22nd Army, how many days can the Mitella line of defense last? The 27th and 30th Army 80,000 people, and after only three days, they will basically fight all. How many days can the 40,000 people of the 22nd Army bear?"
Zhang Shiliang said: "If I had known, I should have transferred more recruits."
"No matter how many new recruits are transferred, it is useless." Wang Geng shook his head and said, "Because the battlefield consumes not only troops, but also weapons and ammunition, and the materials we receive cannot last for too long. The consumption of the Battle of Mandalay is too large, which has far exceeded the consumption level of the Battle of Tin."
