At this moment, in Wang Yong 'an's command post, Wang Yong' an was looking at the map in front of him and the situation of the enemy and himself on the mini-map.
The Japanese were indeed very capable!
After being surrounded, the Japanese immediately retreated.
"Where is the 96th Division now?"
Wang Yong An looked at Gu Yufei and asked.
"Master, the vanguard of the 96th division will arrive at the outskirts of Tonggu before six o'clock tomorrow!”Gu Yufei said," But according to our internal intelligence, the 96th division's main force will probably arrive the day after tomorrow!”
"Yes!"
Wang Yong 'an nodded." Looks like it won't work!”
The newly formed 22nd Division was facing the Japanese's 56th Division. They had no advantage in numbers and their firepower was on par.
However, the commander of the newly formed 22nd Division, Liao Xiang, was not a capable person. At first, he could rely on his recklessness to fight the Japanese to the death, but as time went on, he became inferior.
Liao Xiang could not fight against the wind!
Therefore, the newly formed 22nd Division would be able to hold on for the night without any problems. By then, after daybreak, with the support of the heavy artillery regiment of the Japanese 56th Division and the planes in the sky, the 22nd Division would definitely not be able to hold on.
"Give the order now!"
"Yes, sir!" Gu Yufei took out a small notebook and began to record.
"Order, the 200th division must go all out and take it down within an hour!”Wang Yong 'an said," Then, the 200th division will withdraw their forces and support the newly formed 22nd division on the northeast line of Tonggu!”
"The four regiments of the Ferocious Tiger Division will begin to gather in the northwest direction after three o'clock in the morning. They will gather in the valley ten miles northwest of the Yung Kegang Military Base!”
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Yufei nodded and immediately asked,"Master, if we do this, the higher-ups will know ~"
"I don't care anymore ~"
Wang Yong 'an said," Conserve your strength. Staying alive is the most important! Moreover, we didn't lose the battle. We just changed the battlefield and sought a more favorable opportunity for the final battle!”
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Yufei nodded.
Very soon, Commander Dai received a telegram from Wang Yongan. After reading it, Commander Dai shook his head." Tsk tsk, as expected of Wang Yongan, who became famous at a young age. No one can compare to his boldness."
Wang Yong 'an only asked Division Commander Dai to start shrinking his troops and reinforce the newly formed 22nd Division. Division Commander Dai understood Wang Yong' an's deeper meaning. Abandon Tonggu and prepare to retreat!
The direction of their retreat was naturally the direction where the new 22nd Division had come from. Behind them was the 96th Division that was rushing over. Even if the Japanese's 96th Division were to chase after them, who wouldn't feel guilty when facing the three main divisions of the 5th Division?
Furthermore, if Commander Dai was not wrong, the Ferocious Tiger Division would also retreat towards the direction of Prome, which Old Ying was defending.
It seemed like they were preparing to drag the British soldiers from Prome down with them!
Division Commander Dai was also angry with Old Ying!
According to the plan of the joint command, Old Ying had to participate in the Tonggu battle and also take on the transportation work of the Fifth Army.
However, Old Ying only moved the 200th division to the front to carry the thunder for him and did not care about anything else after that.
All the transport teams went to transport the supplies to the back. When Old Ying of Prome saw Tonggu fighting so badly, he only cheered and did not send a single soldier!
Moreover, Old Ying's troops in Prome's direction were all elites!
The British-Burmese 1st Division was a purely mechanized unit. The number of tanks and armored vehicles far exceeded the 200th Division.
Without Wang Yong 'an, all the good equipment of the 1st British-Burmese Division would have been seized by the Japanese. Then, they would have quickly equipped the equipment and used it to advance quickly, cutting off the retreat of the expeditionary army.
Now, Wang Yongan had his eyes on the guy from the 1st division!
If he kept these things in his hands, they would definitely be of greater use!
The premise was that the Japanese had to fight with the British-Burmese First Division so that Wang Yongan could get involved and fish in troubled waters.
Time slowly passed. As the Japanese in Yongkegang Airport were completely eliminated, the battle near Yongkegang slowed down a lot.
The 112th and 143rd Regiments huddled together like a giant turtle shell.
After all, there were 5,000 people here. It was impossible to eat all of them in one night!
At three in the morning, the soldiers of the Ferocious Tiger Division began to retreat slowly.
" Gather all the seized gasoline." Wang Yong 'an looked at the Japanese who were huddled together." Fire the mountain!"”
"How many Japanese can escape will depend on God's will!”
As the rumbling flames burned, the Japanese in the encirclement finally knew Wang Yong 'an's intentions.
After a series of curses, the only thing left was to quickly cut down trees to create a firebreak. As for rushing out ~
It was simply impossible. Once the mountain fire burned, it would cause a fire wave of dozens of meters. It was completely impossible to pass through it.
He was also glad that this was not his country. Otherwise, Wang Yong 'an would not have done such a thing!
By the time dawn broke, the entire battle situation had already undergone an earth-shattering change.
The Ferocious Tiger Division led by Wang Yong 'an had successfully assembled at the northwest of Yongke Ridge. They had also fled into the mountains and began to approach Old Ying's Prome.
In ancient times, the 200th division had successfully joined up with the newly formed 22nd division. The only enemy they faced was the 56th division of the Japanese. The crisis had temporarily come into contact.
As for the Japanese's 55th division, they were probably the biggest victims of this battle.
In the early stages of the fierce attack on Tonggu, the 200th Division had killed over 3,000 people. The battalion that was stationed at Yongkegang Airport had lost 1,000 people.
After the Ferocious Tiger Division left the battlefield, more than 3,000 people were killed or burned to death in the battle outside Yongkegang Military Base!
By now, the entire 55th division had lost over 7,000 men. It could be said that they had suffered heavy losses!
On the other hand, the 200th division had lost 2,300 men in the battle against the ancient enemy, and the Ferocious Tiger Division had lost 1,200 men.
On the other hand, the newly formed 22nd Division, which was the last to join the battlefield, suffered nearly 2,000 casualties because they fought the Japanese's 56th Division for an entire night. The Japanese's 56th Division did not benefit either, and they also lost more than 1,500 people.
Overall, the Chinese army had the upper hand this time!
