As time passed, the two Japanese divisions had all been transported to Myanmar. A large number of aircraft were also transported by aircraft carriers to the Japanese's Yangon Airport!
At the same time, a large number of scouts and spies in the mountain city began to move. Soon, the expeditionary army's defense map in Myanmar fell into the Japanese's Myanmar Battle Command.
"To avoid a direct battle, split up into two groups and cut off their retreat.”
In the command center, Kimura Taro issued the future battle plan!
" The remnants of the 13th Division and the 55th Division will attack Old Ying's troops on the western front from the left and cut off the connection between Myanmar and the A'san."
"The 56th division will give up on Dongzhi and bypass the Ferocious Tiger Division to take over Lashou, which is relatively weak in defense, and cut off the expeditionary army's connection with the country ~"
The Japanese's idea was very simple. If they fought the expeditionary army head-on in Mandalay, even if they won, it would be a partial victory.
His previous experience had already told the Japanese that the two enemies in front of him were the most elite troops in the national army. In terms of weapons, equipment, and combat will, they were not inferior to him.
The only thing that the Japanese had an absolute advantage was their air superiority.
Therefore, in order to avoid a head-on clash, the Japanese decided to attack by dividing and surrounding them!
......
On the contrary, the expeditionary force command was still unaware that their enemy had increased from two to four divisions. They were still preparing for the Mandalay battle.
From the perspective of the expeditionary force headquarters, the Japanese only had two divisions in Myanmar. They did not have that many troops if they were to divide and encircle the country.
Moreover, the expeditionary army had deployed two divisions at Dongzhi and Lashu. From the perspective of the expeditionary army headquarters, everything was going according to plan.
West line, Yenangyaung direction.
At this moment, the Japanese's 13th and 55th divisions had already rushed to the outskirts of the Yenangyaung.
At this moment, Old Ying's soldiers were still transporting supplies in the Yenangyaung, hoping to take all the supplies away before the Japanese arrived.
Yenangyaung was an important town. In addition to a large number of military supplies, there was also a large oil field. Therefore, there were also a large number of factories here.
Old Ying's meaning was to transport whatever he could. If he couldn't transport it, he would blow it up.
The sky gradually brightened!
"Buzz, buzz, buzz ~"
The sound of Japanese bombing planes could be heard from the sky. Dozens of planes arrived above the Yenangyaung.
"Wuwuwuwu ~"
The bomber in the sky opened its belly and a series of bombs fell like eggs.
"Boom!"
The entire Yenangyaung instantly turned into a sea of fire.
"Cannon!"
Behind them, the Japanese's cannons also began to fire at the Yenangyaung. At the same time, the Japanese began to occupy the strategic locations around the Yenangyaung.
In just half a day, the Yenangyaung was surrounded by the Japanese. Before the British-Burmese 1st Division could react, they were trapped in Yenangyaung.
In the expeditionary army joint command center.
Alexander jogged to the command center. This speed was completely incompatible with Alexander's huge body.
At this moment, Du Ming and Stilwell, who were in the command center, knew what Alexander meant without guessing!
Help was coming!
However, Du Ming and Stilwell knew that they could not refuse. The First British-Burmese Division, which was surrounded by Yenangyaung, was very important. It was the most important combat force on the Western Front.
If they were destroyed by the Japanese, the western front would be completely lost. At that time, the western side of the expeditionary force would be completely exposed.
"Sir!"
At this moment, General Sun Ren took the initiative to step forward." I am willing to volunteer to go to the Yenangyaung to rescue the British-Burmese 1st Division!”
"Good!"
Du Ming nodded.
The regiment led by Sun Ren was also an elite of the Sixth Army. They had shown their sincerity by having the ability to fight.
Of course, the most important thing was that moving away a regiment would not affect the Mandalay Battle.
"Yes, sir!" Sun Ren nodded." I will definitely rescue the 1st division!"”
At this moment, outside Dongzhi, Wang Yong 'an had also received the report from the Yenangyaung. He then looked at Gu Yufei." What secret information do you have?"”
"No, I haven't ~"
Gu Yufei shook her head." Our spies on the Japanese side are basically all in the country. It's very difficult to obtain information about the Japanese!”
Wang Yong 'an nodded.
Immediately after, Gu Yufei asked carefully," Master, is there a problem?”
" Of course there's a problem!"
Wang Yong 'an said," The Yenangyaung surrounded the Anglo-Burmese 1st Division. They said that they were from the 55th Division, but the 55th Division was already crippled. Now, they are taking the initiative to find the Anglo-Burmese 1st Division and are making such a big move. Where would they find such a person?!"”
"Master ~"
Gu Yufei's face was solemn as she said," You're saying that the Japanese's reinforcements have already arrived?”
"Of course!"
Wang Yong 'an said," During the battle with the Turks, the Japanese suffered because they had no backup. We seized the opportunity to teach them a lesson. Do you think the Japanese will still be in Mandalay and will continue to suffer in this place?"
"Even a fool wouldn't do that!"
"Then what should we do?" Gu Yufei asked.
"Send a message to our troops!" Wang Yong 'an said," Throw more scouts from Dongzhi to Lashu, especially on the road from Dongzhi to Lashu!”
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Yufei nodded." Master, are you afraid that the Japanese will bypass our Dongzhi and head straight for Lashu?"”
"Yes!"
Wang Yong 'an nodded." Now that the Japanese have the air superiority, they can do it whenever they want. This kind of infiltration tactic is the Japanese's favorite thing to do. As for Lashu, the 96th Army is useless!”
"At the same time, pass down the order to the artillery regiment. Set up a good position and adjust the firing elements at Lashou. At the same time, do not fire without my order!”
"Yes, sir!"
Gu Yufei nodded.
"Also, get Meng Fan to come and see me!" Wang Yong 'an said again.
"Yes, sir!"
