    Chapter 1151 Dilemma

    The Japanese Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force was severely defeated. It retreated from Ubin in northern Myanmar to Libao. If it weren't for the ** Division troops, they suddenly stopped attacking. Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, might be on his way back to the Malay Peninsula at this moment. Other books  Friends are watching:.  .

    After Ito returned to Mandalay, he couldn't figure out why he was defeated so miserably. He had more troops than Tang Qiuli. If it was a strategic mistake, Ito would not admit it. When fighting the British, Ito  Use Eastern strategy to its fullest potential.

    Mandalay was surrounded by three men and one was missing, an ambush was set up in the Libao Grand Canyon, and the Yindun River cut off the British army's retreat. More than 400,000 British people were beaten to less than 50,000, thus ending the British rule in Indochina for several decades.  In the ten years of history, these battles are all remarkable. Why are they defeated as soon as they encounter the troops of the Japanese Army?

    Moreover, he was still defeated at the hands of a little-known Tang Qiusheng. How could Ito deal with it calmly? After thinking painfully for two days, Ito came to the conclusion that this defeat was not due to military strength, but to military strength.  They were defeated not by strategy, but by the superior firepower of the Army Division. From the number of tanks to the number and caliber of artillery, their own troops were inferior to Tang Qiuli's troops:.

    After encountering the overwhelming artillery fire in Ubin, Ito had a profound understanding of the equipment of the Imperial Army of Japan, which he was usually proud of. There was a huge difference. After retreating to Mandalay, Ito's biggest  He was worried that Tang Qiuli's troops would continue to attack. He was not sure whether the already wounded dispatched troops could stop the attack of Tang Qiuli's troops under such circumstances.

    Aware of the crisis he was facing, Ito finally wrote a battle report to the base camp. It was pretty good. In the report, Ito had no intention of shirking responsibility, nor did he blame the general. In fact, there was no one to blame, and he was eager to  The rash Lieutenant General Nomura turned into a lonely soul in the Banmao Mountains.

    Lieutenant General Nan Yun, who looked down on Tang Qiuli, was torn into pieces by the enemy's artillery shells in Degang. His successor, Major General Zhongze, became a pile of ashes in the Degang Canyon.  At this moment, Major General Koizumi, the chief of staff who prompted him to make the wrong decision, was sent to the logistics department to look at the warehouse. Think about it, there is no one who can share the responsibility for him.  .

    Ito's battle report was written slowly and with difficulty, and he racked his brains. He had to truthfully explain the situation of the battle, the situation in northern Myanmar, and the difficulties he faced, without making himself look too incompetent and stupid.  It requires the understanding of the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor, and attracts the attention of the country. It cannot be said to be too pitiful, and the dignity of the general of the Japanese Empire must be maintained.

    Oops, it¡¯s so embarrassing for General Ito Yanzaburo. Even when he wrote a love letter to his wife, Ito didn¡¯t spend so much time on it. Ito locked himself in the room and thought hard about the battle report to the base camp. When his head was several times bigger  , in the Wubin frontline headquarters of the ** Division, it was another situation.

    Tang Qiuli asked Tang Qiusheng with a smile, "Brother Qiusheng, according to your judgment, does Ito Yanzaburo still have the ability to continue to invade Myitkyina north?" Tang Qiusheng shook his head and said: "Ito has been injured, and now  , he is not thinking about whether to continue to attack the north, but he is worried every day, worried about whether we will continue to attack Mandalay. Ito is not stupid. With his current strength, he is definitely not an opponent. If he still wants to take action, I'm afraid  We have to ask for troops from Japan, and that will happen in a few months, :"

    Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "The Japanese are now placing their bets on Southeast Asia. In the Northeast, on the outer Xing'an Mountains in the Far East, Zhukov's Soviet Far East Army is containing Japan's largest overseas combat group, the Kwantung Army.  Brother Tiehan's troops are stationed in the western Liaoning Peninsula, with their eyes firmly fixed on the hinterland of Northeast China. The Japanese military strength in the north does not dare to be reduced at all. "

    "As a result, if the Japanese want to increase their troops to Southeast Asia, they will have to form new troops at home. This cannot be done overnight. The Japanese have been fighting a war against China for more than three years, and they have lost everything on the Chinese mainland.  With at least more than one million troops, their domestic reserve forces should be stretched thin, and they cannot open up new battlefields. I hope that the Japanese can retreat and withdraw their troops from the Indochina Peninsula. This will save me a lot of energy.  "

    These last few words, Tang Qiuli said almost to himself, Tang Qiusheng and Chang Feng understood clearly. They are the core senior leaders of the *** division, so they naturally know the strategic deployment of the division commander Tang Qiuli in Southeast Asia. However,  No one answered, they were all thinking about the problem quietly. Chang Feng had a question in his heart: Are the Japanese really willing to fail in Indochina?

    Tang Qiusheng was really right about the contents of Ito's report on the Northern Burma Campaign to the base camp. At the end of the report, Ito made a long list, asking for soldiers, artillery, tanks, aircraft, and more.  Supplies, everything, especially artillery, IraqAs soon as he opened his mouth, he asked for ten brigades.

    The current stalemate is what Ito least wants to see. Passive defense is not the core of the Southeast Asia strategic plan formulated by the base camp. Even if Ito wants to defend, the base camp will not agree. What's more, in the eastern part of the Indochina Peninsula, Tang Qiuli  There are two main regiments approaching towards northern Myanmar.

    If you want to defend, can you hold on?  It is not that Ito has not thought about using the existing forces to contain part of the ** division troops opposite Libao, and most of the forces to cross the Salween River eastward and develop to the southeast of Indochina Peninsula. However, Tang Qiuli's two main corps,  Right on the line of the Salween River, like two tigers, blocked Ito's ambition to advance eastward.

    Attack westward, cross the Irrawaddy River, and pass through the narrow corridor in western Myanmar, which is the border of India. Do you want to go to India and fight the British again?  Ito became discouraged after thinking about it. Not to mention the complex geographical environment, the vast eastern region of India could only use the remaining 300,000 troops and scatter them there. Not even a shadow could be seen. Other book friends were reading:  .

    What's more, this is forcing the British to fight with themselves, and the base camp will not agree. It completely violates the established Southeast Asia strategy of the base camp. No matter what aspect he considers, Ito feels that choosing to attack Myitkyina in northern Myanmar is the most practical.  , which is in the best interest of the empire. After the British were driven out of the Indochina Peninsula, the only enemy of the empire was Tang Qiuli's army.

    Only by completely defeating or eliminating this Chinese devil can Indochina be permanently included in the overseas territory of the Japanese Empire. However, Ito's current capital is not enough. If all the supplements he requested are in place, Ito will use them as soon as possible.  Swordsmen rushed to the north of Burma, killing Tang Qiuli's army, rewriting the shame of Wubin's defeat.

    Ito was like a wounded wolf, hiding in the corner, licking his wounds while looking at Ubin, Myitkyina, northern Myanmar, and Tang Qiu with cold and hateful eyes.  Lift away and quietly sharpen your teeth.

    After Ito's report on the Battle of Northern Burma was submitted to the Japanese base camp, it immediately caused extreme shock among the Japanese military leaders. General Ito Yanzaburo, who had beaten the British to death in northern Burma, was eaten by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.  A major defeat, one-third of the troops were lost, and they were forced to retreat to Libao in central Myanmar. They would face fierce attacks from the Chinese Army Division at any time.

    First of all, Emperor Hirohito lost his temper again. He simply couldn't imagine why all the famous imperial generals always suffered defeats when facing Tang Qiuli.  From North China to Songhu, from southern China to Myanmar, senior generals fell into disgrace one by one. Could it be that this was the fate of the imperial generals, and that this China devil Tang Qiuli was a hurdle they could not avoid?  Is it the nemesis of his dream of Greater East Asia?

    Hirohito also read Ito¡¯s report. To be honest, His Majesty the Emperor¡¯s head was a few sizes too big for this big-mouthed guy. What he wanted almost wiped out the country¡¯s military potential. So, what about Manchuria?  What about the Xing'an Mountains in the Far East?  What about the islands in the South China Sea?  what to do?

    So, His Majesty the Emperor cursed General Ito in the most vicious language in his palace, and greeted all his female relatives countless times, completely forgetting that just after the victory of sending troops to Southeast Asia to drink Dune, he gave Ito Yanzaburo  Those words of praise made the attendant military attach¨¦s tremble with fear, fearing that the Emperor would punish the famous general who defeated the British for the empire in his anger. Other book friends were reading:.

    They thought wrong. After Emperor Hirohito lost his temper, he ordered to go down and immediately convene an imperial military meeting to study the issue of dispatching troops to Southeast Asia. Of course Hirohito would not deal with it. General Ito, who had made military exploits for the empire, was such a general who could win the war.  , he still couldn't bear it, mainly because Hirohito felt distressed.

    The nearly one million Kwantung Army troops maintaining a front line in the Xing'an Mountains in the Far East and confronting the Soviets have already strained the Japanese government's finances and resources. Otherwise, Hirohito would not have set his sights on Southeast Asia, which is rich in natural resources.  Ito went to war with Britain, an established capitalist power. Ito defeated the British, but was defeated by the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. At this point, even if Hirohito wanted to stop, it was impossible.

    The imperial military meeting did not go well. The senior generals who participated in the meeting were divided into two groups with different opinions. It was still the old tradition. The army and navy could not pee in the same pot. The army advocated that they should immediately follow Ito-kun's request.  , dispatch troops to Southeast Asia to replenish all troops, equipment and supplies.

    The Army's reason was that it had already fought against the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli's troops in Burma, so it was impossible and not allowed to stop. Otherwise, the empire would have to revise the overall strategic plan for Southeast Asia and hand over the Indochina Peninsula to the Chinese. This would be very important to the empire.  For us, it is not just a simple humiliation, but also a loss of strategic materials and energy bases.

    The opinion of the navy is exactly the opposite. Instead of conducting military operations in Indochina and China,The ghost Tang Qiuli was entangled, and there was no hope of victory in a short period of time. No general in the army was Tang Qiuli's opponent. Therefore, the navy advocated developing towards the South Pacific and cooperating with the United States.  People fight for control there.

    Then, there was a quarrel that did not make each other. Yu Ren's eyes were gloomy in the melancholy, watching the noisy face with red ears, and a dozen high -ranking generals of the navy, and his face became increasingly ugly.
