Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    > General Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of Japan¡¯s Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, was desperately retreating south with Tang Qiuli and several of his corps commanders.

    Ito couldn¡¯t believe that no one survived the Mogok Raid. The overwhelming artillery fire made Ito extremely painful.

    After Mogok¡¯s tragic defeat, what can happen to the Libao Grand Canyon defense line? If the ** division troops advancing from the direction of Mandalay do not withdraw southward, the fate of themselves and their subordinates will be the same.

    Ito knew very well that the situation he faced was only one night. The unforgiving Tang Qiuli launched a ferocious attack from the east of Mandalay within a week and surrounded the dispatched troops on the line from Libao to Mandalay.  Woolen cloth

    Even if the interception is successful, with the current strength of the Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, he will not give himself three days, five days or half a month to wait for domestic reinforcements. This will sound the doomsday knell for the Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force.

    Weighing the pros and cons, we immediately evacuated south to Yangon. After making this decision, the order reported to the Tokyo base camp was to stick to it and to complete His Majesty's plan for the Myanmar campaign.

    At about ten o'clock that night, a military meeting of senior generals above the rank of dispatched military brigade commander was held. He wanted to tell Ito an order that would put him in a desperate situation. Ito was prepared to bear it himself.

    Ito also believes that he will understand his good intentions. The senior Japanese generals who participated in the meeting all know today¡¯s meeting.

    This can be seen from the face of the Commander-in-Chief, Ito, watching the generals take their seats. I believe that the dangerous situation we are facing now has the possibility of Mandalay falling soon. I have decided to evacuate Mandalay starting at 11 o'clock tonight. The General Staff is responsible for formulating an evacuation plan.  and troop withdrawal sequence

    None of the Japanese generals said anything. In their hearts, they refused to retreat due to the situation on the battlefield. However, the arrogance of the Japanese soldiers made them avoid the word "retreat". There were only two words: "Retreat is a shame."

    Although I agree with the commander-in-chief's order in my heart, this is what the little devil calls face and self-esteem, but when it comes to so-called mental problems, he dares to risk the world's taboo on this point and make the right decision. Ito has surpassed all Japanese soldiers.  general

    Ito also knows that he has no objection. He is very pleased that you are fighting for a better tomorrow without damaging the honor of the Japanese Emperor. Only then can we continue to serve the Greater East Asia Holy War and cherish our lives. Please rectify the troops immediately and adjourn the meeting.

    The senior Japanese generals present shed tears. These Japanese officers had solemn expressions. Hai Yi couldn't help but shed tears. No one asked if they were from the base camp.

    Gentlemen, please stay. The voice sounded sharp and trembling. Lieutenant General Takemura Yamaichi, Chief of Staff of Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, looked like he wanted to kill someone.

    Ito glanced at Takemura without surprise and treated him like air and continued: Start preparing to evacuate south to Yangon immediately. Takemura is really angry. Ito is no longer worthy of being a general of the Japanese Empire and escaping from the battle.

    He was convinced by Ito's decision that any imperial general would never retreat, especially when faced with the inferior Chinese. It not only brought shame to the Imperial Army, but also brought shame to Takemura, the coward of the Army, and the scum of the Army.

    Seeing that Ito didn't take him seriously at all, his tone became a little sinister and he said: I hope you can take back the order you just made. If your behavior like this will lead to a military court, I will not forgive your decision, let alone carry out your wrong order.  Report everything truthfully to the base camp

    Ito narrowed his eyes and smiled with difficulty. His smile looked very ferocious. Takemura-kun, you are no longer the chief of staff of the dispatched army. I will relieve you from your position as chief of staff. General Takemura needs a rest. Something went wrong.

    Four tall and round guards, Ito, came up and glanced at the stunned senior generals and said: Do you want to question my order? The generals hurriedly dispersed. Only that fool would be willing to be crushed. But his head is not as valuable.

    Looking at the empty conference room with sweat-soaked underwear, it was possible that the young officers were firmly opposed to retreat and had their military power taken away from them.

    "Just for disobeying the orders of the base camp, luckily the mad dogs outside don't have even the slightest fondness for this chief of staff."

    After thinking about it, I ordered the engineering troops to put all the landmines and unmovable weapons and artillery shells to block the pursuit of the ** division troops coming from the direction of Mogok, and then let these landmines explode all over the sky and send them to the west. Ito thought viciously.

    The Japanese army began to retreat. The Japanese soldiers were organized and disciplined. With the withdrawal of the infantry, more than 200,000 troops followed the commander-in-chief¡¯s order and buried mines everywhere.

    While Ito commanded the troops to withdraw from Feng Jiwu's Eastern Front Combat Group, he dispatched four divisions of security troops to build positions. For the Japanese troops, only the troops of the ** division carried out flank attacks.

    After being entangled for two or three days, can Tang Qiuli's main force still let him go? Ito placed four divisions in the east of Mandalay to cover the main force and dispatched the main force to retreat in preparation for the overall retreat.

    Ito did not expect otherwise, but the four divisions he sent to stop Feng Jiwu
