In Moulmein, the headquarters of the Japanese 25th Army.
"It's right here." Ishihara smiled, pointing at the map, and said in a deep voice, "Patina!"
"Guse City?" Gu Di Na Hua Xiong frowned and said, "I have tried it before."
As early as a week ago, that is, on the third day after the Battle of Sitang River broke out, because the 8th Division was unable to capture Sitang City, the 18th Division was also unable to open up the situation on the Pabon and Dakun lines. So Ishihara Wanji ordered the Guards Division to send an engineer regiment to Guse for an assault to build the bridge.
When the pontoon bridge was erected, the 1st Guards Brigade was ordered to bypass Guse.
According to past practice, as long as the Japanese army makes a breakthrough from the flank, the national army will fall apart.
The troops commanded by Zhong Yi were more tenacious than other Chinese armies, but after being threatened on the flanks, they had no choice but to abandon the Sidang River defense line.
This is the law of war, and Zhong Yi has no way to change it!
War is nothing more than offense and defense. Stability is very important for both the attacker and the defender.
Once the stability of one side is broken by the other side, the best result can only be to withdraw its troops, and the second worst result is the defeat of the entire army, just like the result achieved by the national army in the Battle of Songhu, and the worst result is The entire army was destroyed, just like the tragic ending achieved by the national army in the battle to defend Nanjing.
Regrettably, however, the national army was obviously prepared.
Because the national army set up a large number of sentries along the west bank of the Sidang River and deployed heavy troop groups, several efforts of the 1st Guards Engineer Regiment ended in failure.
As a last resort, Ishihara Wanji could only give up building the pontoon bridge.
As a result, we have been fighting in Xidang City for ten days, and we have not made a breakthrough until now.
With no choice but to do so, Ishihara Wan'er could only turn his attention to the ancient city to the north of Xidang City.
But Tanigi Nahuaxiong did not agree with this proposal and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, I think we should request support from the navy. We will directly land on the beach from the west coast of Madaban Bay!"
Speaking of this meal, Guodi Nahuaxiong pointed to the map and said: "Commander, please see, once our army successfully seizes the beach from Madaban Bay, we only need to attack the city of Yangon less than fifty miles to the north! Once Yangon is If it is captured, the Chinese army on the Sidan River defense line will be in a desperate situation of being attacked from both sides, and defeat is the inevitable result."
"No, it's not that easy." Ishihara Wanji waved his hand and said, "According to the information provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the China Army's beachhead position on the west coast of Madaban Bay is not defenseless, but has built a large number of shore defense bunkers!"
Yadina Kaohsiung said in a deep voice: "Although the China Army has built a large number of coastal defense bunkers on the west coast of Madaban Bay, they have not deployed many troops. There is only one division with less than 5,000 men!"
"No." Ishihara Wanji waved his hand and said, "This is only temporary. Once our army mobilizes landing ships from the sea and shows signs of landing on the beach from the west coast of Madaban Bay, Zhong Yi will definitely head towards the beach on the west coast of Madaban Bay. By adding more troops to the position, the strength can be increased to three to five divisions in one day!"
"That's nothing." Tanigi Nahuaxiong said solemnly, "As long as there is support from the navy, it is impossible for the China Army to hold the beachhead position. This has been fully proved in the Battle of Songhu."
"But this is Myanmar, not Shanghai." Ishihara smiled solemnly, "In Shanghai, it is impossible for the China Navy to threaten the safety of the Imperial Navy, but in Yangon, Myanmar, the British Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet But it is enough to pose a threat to the Imperial Navy."
"We can apply directly to the Ministry of War and even His Majesty the Emperor to transfer the Imperial Navy's combined fleet to Burma, and take this opportunity to completely eliminate the British Royal Navy's military presence in the Indian Ocean," Tanishina Kao said.
"You are talking nonsense!" Ishihara Wanji said. "Although the imperial army has occupied Singapore, Singapore's port facilities have been destroyed. It is impossible to repair and put them back into use in a short time. Without Singapore's With the port as a support, do you think the Imperial Navy can be a rival to the British Royal Navy?"
Gu Di and Hua Xiong immediately stopped saying anything because he also thought it was impossible.
The total tonnage of the British Royal Navy's Pacific Fleet and Indian Ocean Fleet may only be a fraction of that of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet. After all, Britain's core interests have always been in Europe!
But the British Royal Navy relies on its home ports in India and Myanmar. Its logistics supply line is short and replenishment is fast. It can also get fire support from the land air force. However, the Japanese Navy's logistics supply line is very long and the replenishment time is very long! And it's hardGet fire support from land.
Once the two sides engage in a decisive battle, the Japanese Navy's combined fleet will be in an extremely unfavorable situation.
Therefore, unless the Admiralty is crazy, it will never send a combined fleet to travel thousands of miles to the Indian Ocean to engage in a strategic decisive battle with the British Royal Navy's Pacific and Indian Ocean fleets. Impossible!
Ishihara Wan'er added: "So, we can only seek a breakthrough from ancient colors."
"But the Chinese Army has set up a large number of sentries on the west bank of the Xidang River." Kaohsiung Tanigina shook his head and said, "Moreover, they have deployed heavy troops. The imperial army can't even build a pontoon bridge, so how can they cross the river?"
"That's because we didn't choose Guse as the main breakthrough point from the beginning, so the troops invested were very limited." Ishihara smiled and said, "But now, we must place the main breakthrough point in the direction of Guse, and it is necessary to focus on this direction. Invest heavy troops and order the 1st Guards Division to immediately move forward from Guse and cross the Xidang River from Guse!"
"Hai!" Seeing that Ishihara Wanji had already made up his mind, Tanigi Nahuaxiong said nothing more.
Because as the chief of staff, his main responsibility is to provide advice and help the commander make decisions. As for the final decision, that is the commander's business.
¡¡
In Yangon, the Myanmar Theater Commander's Department.
"Guse!" Zhong Yi drew a circle on the map with a red pencil and said with determination, "The Japanese army's next target must be Guse!"
"Guse?" Wang Geng snorted softly, and then continued, "The Xidang River has a large bay in Guse. The water flow is relatively slow. It is indeed the most ideal place to build a floating bridge. The Japanese army also chose this place to build a bridge before, but Because we had prepared ourselves long ago, we did not let them succeed, but is it really possible for the Japanese army to come back?"
"The nature is different." Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "Last time it was a surprise attack. The Japanese army's intention was to try their luck. It's okay if the bridge is not successful, but if the bridge is successful, it will be an unexpected surprise."
"But this time, the Japanese army is serious about it and will definitely invest heavy troops!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
