    Chapter 1,136 Blood-stained Meng Mi (Part 2)

    In the Battle of Tokugang, the Japanese Nagumo troops suffered heavy losses from the beginning, which made Commander-in-Chief Ito Genzaburo's heart twitch. He did not expect that this Chinese devil Tang Qiuli would unexpectedly  Choosing the safest middle route army, Ito arranged it this way in order to allow Nagumo's troops to echo back and forth.

    With the leading Nomura troops in front and the main force of nearly 400,000 dispatched troops behind, Nagumo's troops can move closer in any direction, which is equivalent to being packed into a safe. This is the least of Ito's worries, but the Japanese division's troops are coming.  Tiger dug his heart out, went straight to Nagumo's headquarters, and broke into the Nomura troops at the front, but nothing happened.

    Ito was anxious. If Nagumo's troops were killed by the Japanese army, his battle layout would be seriously broken. To put it nicely, the beginning and the end would not be consistent. Ito believed that the direct cause of the attack on Nagumo's troops was  , is Nomura's vanguard, advancing too fast, completely contrary to its strategic intentions.

    Ito anxiously led his troops to attack Tokugang when he received news from Lieutenant General Nagumo Yusei. At that time, Ito did not have much hope as to whether Nagumo's troops could escape this disaster. He had studied the Japanese army in China.  Many battle cases on the battlefield have one thing in common. As long as the troops of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli take action, the imperial army's troops will be completely wiped out. The most fortunate thing is that they will also suffer heavy losses and their vitality will be greatly damaged.

    As for the appointment of Nakazawa as the new commander, it was just a matter of doing some personnel work. The imperial army, which was beaten dizzy, needed a commander no matter what. Ito only hoped that when he rushed to Tokugang, he could be in time to help Nan  Yun and Zhongze collected the corpses, but Zhongze's performance was surprisingly good. He actually came up with such a clever plan in a desperate situation.

    After receiving the telegram from Nakazawa, Ito almost laughed and said excitedly to Chief of Staff Koizumi: "Koizumi-kun, Nakazawa is a good guy. He surrounded more than a thousand Chinese soldiers but did not attack and took them as hostages.  The most subtle thing that prevented Tang Qiuli from using heavy weapons to attack was to hold back part of the main force of the ** division. "

    "According to my understanding of Tang Qiuli, he will not give up this part of the branch's soldiers. This will force Tang Qiuli's troops to fight with my superior main force of the imperial army in Degang.  The decisive battle of hope, if this battle can be carried out, we will have hope to establish the situation in northern Burma before Tang Qiuli's other troops arrive from the east of Indochina Peninsula. Well, Zhongze is very good, so we can dispatch the troops from the General Headquarters of the Army.  In recognition of her great wisdom and bravery, she was promoted to the rank of lieutenant general."

    The nearly 400,000 Japanese main force commanded by Ito rushed towards Tokugang like a vicious wolf smelling the smell of blood. Ito was so afraid of losing his fighter plane that he urged the troops to move day and night, advancing without stopping, and left Mengmi.  , the Japanese army's march was not smooth.

    Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the Sulu Mobile Regiment of the ** Division, commanded four brigades and had been waiting in hiding from Yindunjiang to Mengmi. In addition to watching the excitement of the little devils beating the British for a while, Guanghan's own words  Said, "I'm so bored, my balls hurt, and I'm covered in hair."

    But since receiving the new order from his master, Yu Guanghan felt a little nervous. He also understood that from this moment on, the nature of the task had completely changed. In the past, it was a side attack and a delay. Now, it must be delayed.  Stay, and he also saw another problem from the brief order given by his master.

    The order does not stipulate that the Japanese army cannot advance in the direction of Degang for how long. This is absolutely not seen in the previous division commander's orders. Yu Guanghan has followed the division commander Tang Qiuli for many years. As a former commander  The Chief of Staff of the *Division, he knew the habits of the division commander very well, and the rigor of formulating the battle plan, and the time was accurate to the minute, which amazed Yu Guanghan more than once.

    But this time, there is no clearly specified time, which means that the time for the three brigades commanded by himself and Chief of Staff Chang to block nearly 400,000 Japanese troops from advancing towards Degang will be indefinite until they receive the call.  After receiving the new order, he immediately convened a military meeting to convey the latest order to the division commander in its original text.

    Then, Yu Guanghan said: "Everyone knows the mission and what kind of fighting style we are going to face. Four words, stick to it." The original one said that the troops of his own brigade  , the brigade commander, who was able to withstand the Japanese army and was unable to move even an inch, had an unusually solemn expression and said to Guanghan: "Chief of Staff, just one sentence, fight hard, even if we are exhausted, we must ensure the smooth progress of the division commander in the Degang battle.  "

    There is nothing fancy about such a blockade. The distance from Mengmi to Degang is 100 kilometers. At the current marching speed of the Japanese army, they can arrive there in seven or eight hours. It is different from the usual blockade. There is almost nothing  The room for expansion must be grasped step by step.

    Immediately, Yu Guanghan brought the meeting to a closeThe situation was reported to the division chief of staff Chang Feng. Chang Feng's reply was simple, "The flanking troops must use the energy of frontal blocking to ensure the continuation of the Degang Battle." Yu Guanghan read from Chang Feng's telegram  Here, smelling the smell of blood, the flanking troops should be used as a frontal blocker. How should the three brigades of frontal blocks be attacked?

    The four brigades of the Sulu Mobile Regiment, with more than 60,000 troops, along both sides of the road, in regiments, continued to violently attack the Japanese troops. The attacks were fierce and sharp, with a desperate spirit.  Violent and bloody, the mountain roads in northern Myanmar were filled with the sounds of gunfire, shouts of death and smoke.

    If Yu Guanghan's flanking force is a ferocious wolf, then the nearly 400,000 Japanese troops commanded by Ito are like a rough-headed and thick-bodied bison. Although the wolf's attack is very ferocious, it can't deal with the huge bison.  It is said that it is just a scratch on the skin and has little impact on its speed.

    What's more, with Ito's mind, it is not difficult to see that this is part of the ** division's actions to prevent him from attacking Degang. The more this happens, the more Ito feels that there is something unexpected in Degang.  Surprisingly, Tang Qiuli did not want to attack Degang. Therefore, Ito was not affected by the attack on Guanghan's troops. Every time he was attacked, he sent troops to fight, and the rest of the troops continued to advance.

    However, Yu Guanghan's attack bought Chang Feng more than three hours of precious time to deploy troops in the Baodwen mining area and establish a blocking defense line. Otherwise, the troops led by Chang Feng would have fought with the Japanese army on the way in.  The main forces collide head-on, and no one can predict the consequences.

    The struggle continued until the afternoon of July 3. Yu Guanghan's troops suffered six to seven thousand casualties, nearly half the brigade's strength. In the end, they failed to stop the Japanese army from continuing to advance northward. They fought all the way, and Ito's main force also  It cost nearly 10,000 casualties, but Ito would never be fooled, he knew it very well.

    If he stopped to clean up, he would risk his life along the way. The small group of soldiers who were fighting with him had just fallen into Tang Qiuli's trick. No one could tell how many days the battle would last. Zhongze finally created it with great difficulty.  The fighter plane will be lost in vain. In the words of the Chinese people, the gain is not worth the loss. What's more, this Japanese army that is entangled with itself has taken a desperate posture and actively attacked its nearly 400,000 imperial troops with tens of thousands of people.  Not afraid of dying together.

    Ito really understood Yu Guanghan's thoughts. Yu Guanghan had the intention of killing all the more than 60,000 people and attacking the Japanese army without leaving any escape route. He very much hoped that Ito could stop and fight with his troops.  In a contest with a huge disparity in power, as long as it persists for three to five days, with the wisdom of the teacher, a good way to solve the problem can be found.

    However, he wanted to fight desperately, but Ito didn't. Yu Guanghan had more than 60,000 people in his hands. Ito really didn't pay attention to them. He was running for Tang Qiuli's main force in Degang. This time, Yu Guanghan  Han was dumbfounded and wanted to fight, but the little Japanese refused to accompany him, and he couldn't hold back. Seeing the large Japanese army rolling towards Degang, Yu Guanghan gritted his teeth and ordered the troops to "continue flanking along the way regardless of the cost." At the same time,  , he reported the battle situation to the division chief of staff and Chang Feng, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese troops.

    Ito's main Japanese army arrived at the Baldwin Mining Area almost at the same time as Yu Guanghan's troops. Chang Feng's reply to Yu Guanghan contained only these few words, "Chief of Staff Yu, you and your troops have already  You have tried your best. Now, I order your troops to withdraw to Wubin immediately and consolidate the second line of defense. "

    This order contained the flavor of farewell. Only three brigades were able to hold back hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops. Chang Feng wanted to take all of them to death, but he also wanted to use the favorable terrain of the Baldwin Mining Area to frustrate the Japanese troops.  , at least to gain more than three days for Wubin and Degang. He has received the order from the division commander. Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, deputy commander of the ** Division and commander of the Sulu Mobile Corps, led the three brigades.  The troops are on their way to Wubin to take charge of the overall command of the battle.

    Chang Feng fought even more freely. The Japanese shelled for more than an hour. Ito nodded with satisfaction and said to Chief of Staff Koizumi: "The Baldwin Mining Area is the only way to Degang, and it is also the only one that can be exploited."  In this terrain, Tang Qiuli's troops will definitely be here to block the Imperial Army with all their might. He ordered the 4th Chariot Brigade to cover the 7th, 13th, and 21st Divisions after the bombardment.*  *The 9th mixed brigade attacked the area."

    "Tell the commanders of these troops that what I want is not the number of enemies annihilated, but which troops are the first to break through the blocking positions of the Chinese troops." Immediately, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers, under the cover of tanks, attacked the Baldwin Mining Area.  A full-scale attack was launched.

    As soon as the battle began, it entered a fever pitch. Chang Feng's troops deployed on the front line were defeated by the Japanese army after repelling three Japanese charges. Most of the more than 7,000 people in the two regiments were killed.

    The fight lasted until the evening of July 3, when the sun was setting.??The casualties reached more than 10,000 people, close to the strength of a brigade. Of course, the number of casualties of the Japanese army exceeded that of the ** Division. At the cost of more than 10,000 casualties, the blocking force blocked Ito's main Japanese army at Baldwin.  In front of the mining area, it is impossible to proceed.
