Age of Conquest Reborn

The two corps of the Eastern Front Combat Group, with more than 300,000 troops, were just east of Mandalay City. They watched helplessly in the night, a long dragon made of lights, like a defeated rooster, shrinking and meandering towards southern Myanmar.

It was a long queue composed of flashlight lights, horse lights, and a few car and tank lights.

When it comes to the level of mechanization, there is a whole generation gap between the Japanese troops and the ** Division troops. If the main corps of the ** Division march at night, they are completely composed of various vehicles and lights. How many of Feng Jiwu's regiments are there?

The brigade commanders all called the corps headquarters, "Commander, are we just going to watch the little Japs flee south without firing a single shot?"

"Commander, please approve that the heavy artillery regiment of our brigade will be marked with a base number, just a base number. The soldiers are all anxious and red-eyed. If this continues, I can't stop it," this was a call from the commander of the third brigade.

The caller said, "Commander, I know the strategic plan of the division commander, but I can't just watch the little Jaap run away so easily, right? Please approve, our brigade will attack, and I promise to cut off a big piece of fat for you."

This is a call from the commander of the First Brigade.

Feng Jiwu always responded to these brigade commanders' requests for battle: "No, no shot can be fired without my order. If you can't help itching your hands and stab me, I will definitely let the division commander deal with me when the time comes."

I can't help you." Just after suppressing the request of the brigade commanders of his own corps to fight, the commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps, Ma Chaoyang, called again.

Ma Chaoyang did not ask for a fight, but just relayed the opinions of his corps and brigade commanders. What he said was almost as if he was asking for a fight, "Deputy division commander, there is no way I can be the commander of this corps. The brigade commanders under me are all about to kill me."

The phone call is ringing, and there is only one meaning. The Niangziguan garrison can open fire, why can't our Southeast Mobile Corps? Tell me, deputy division commander, how should I explain it to my subordinates? "

Feng Jiwu was so angry that he became happy. "Ma Chaoyang, the one who told you that the Niangziguan garrison has begun to attack the retreating Japanese army said, where did you get the information? Are you kidding? You don't know the division commander's strategic deployment.

You are still here to cause trouble for me. Let me tell you, what your brigade commander means is basically what you, Ma Chaoyang, mean. If you are not afraid that the division commander will settle the score with you, then open fire!"

As soon as Feng Jiwu put down Ma Chaoyang's phone, another phone rang rapidly. Feng Jiwu was furious, grabbed the phone, and shouted: "It's not over yet. I said, without my order, there will be no death."

Allowed to fire one shot, what, you say it again, okay, I understand, under close surveillance."

Feng Jiwu put down the phone and happily walked around in circles. This call was not from the brigade commanders asking for a fight, but from the frontline troops. "The Japanese army is in the east of Mandalay, and our army is deploying in large numbers in front of it.

Troops, and there are attempts to attack us. "If you want to doze off, you can bring a pillow to prevent the retreating Japanese troops from being hit. This is a good time, because the little devils have arrived at your door.

It's a good thing that there is a battle and it does not violate the division commander's order. Feng Jiwu immediately ordered: "The Eastern Combat Group, immediately carry out annihilating attacks on the Japanese troops facing you. Note that only attacks on the Japanese troops facing you are allowed. If you are that

If you hit me smoothly and can't hold it back, don't blame me for handing you over to the teacher, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

When Feng Jiwu said these words, everyone listened attentively. Although the division commander Tang Qiuli had warned in advance that discussion of military issues was not allowed, those present here all had a background of leading soldiers in war. After a few glasses of wine, they added

The war situation in Upper Burma has basically been settled, and I am in a good mood. After a few words, I will return to

As he said, Feng Jiwu also asked Ma Chaoyang, "Commander Ma, am I right? You still played tricks on me, saying that Niangziguan Garrison was attacked first, thinking that I didn't know. At that time,

, your heart is as anxious as a cat scratching its head, and you are more anxious than some of the brigade commanders under you."

Ma Chaoyang's face was red. Feng Jiwu could joke with him, but he didn't dare to joke with Feng Jiwu, so he could only mutter: "That's not because they forced me. Besides, I heard that your corps attacked first, how can I not be anxious?"

"Everyone burst into laughter. After the war, it is not fun to talk about the war that just happened.

Tang Qiuli shook his head helplessly. It was probably more difficult to stop these guys from talking about the war than to stop them. Fortunately, they were all easy topics, so he did not stop them. As for Liu Xinlan, the unsuccessful wine supervisor

Official, not even a shadow was seen at all.

Feng Jiwu said it easily, but Ito was not in such a relaxed mood at the time. The sound of gunfire in the east of Mandalay rang out, and Ito broke out in a cold sweat. Needless to say, it must have been the flanking troops of the Japanese Army attacking him.

After the attack, things still happened. Eliminating the troops of the four divisions could block the interception of the ** division troops at the expense of themselves, although this was difficult.

The sound of gunfire continued almost the whole night, and Ito's heart was also in his heart all night long. What gave him some comfort was that the battlefield was always in the east of Mandalay and did not develop in the direction of the troops' evacuation. This proved that the blocking troops

It worked. When the sky was dimming, all the Japanese troops had evacuated the Libao Grand Canyon defense line and Mandalay.

Ito was one of the last batch to leave Mandalay, which had been occupied for half a year. Before leaving the city, he stared for a long time at the eastern battlefield of Mandalay where sporadic gunshots were still ringing. He could not see the troops who had completed the blocking mission and withdrew.

One can imagine how difficult it would be to use four divisions to block the swarming of more than 300,000 Japanese Army soldiers.

These warriors of the Japanese Empire, soldiers of the Imperial Army, were using their flesh and blood to open a hole for the main force of the dispatched army to evacuate. Ito looked and looked until he could see through it. The battlefield was completely silent and he didn't see anything.

When a soldier withdrew, he knew that the troops of the four divisions were finished, and next, he would face the endless pursuit of the troops of the ** division.

Ito's motorcade drove out of Mandalay. He turned back to drink for the last time. Mandalay City in the colorful autumn scenery, this important town in central Myanmar, carries too many of his dreams and ambitions. Today, he has to leave, what?

When can I come back again? Ito knows that since

I am afraid that this will never happen again in my life. Two drops of turbid tears fell silently down the wrinkled face. The guards in the car couldn't help crying softly, as if for Ito Yan.

An elegy sung by Saburo, the ambitious Japanese general.

Ito looked back from the direction of Mandalay, his face straightened, and he regained the usual coldness and perseverance of Japanese soldiers. He shouted at the driver, "Open the way!" He had no time to be sad, although the imperial army had withdrawn south,

But the next trouble is not small. He must deal with the crazy pursuit of the Japanese Army. The Chinese devil will not let him go.

Up to now, Ito still believed that his decisive decision to withdraw southward was beyond Tang Qiuli's expectation. In other words, it had an unexpected effect. He had ordered the 35th Division of the vanguard, the 35th Division, to

Seven mixed brigades, the Eighth Cavalry Regiment, and the Ninth Chariot Regiment were formed to retake Taunggyi and Loigu and open the passage for the southward retreat.

Since the troops of the ** Division flanking Mandalay were all concentrated in that direction, Taunggyi and Loigu must have weak defensive forces. It was a good time. To Ito's surprise, the leading Japanese troops captured Taunggyi and Loigu.

Without any effort, they captured the two gateways to the southeast of Mandalay without firing a shot.

Feng Jiwu didn't put any soldiers in these two places. Ito couldn't understand it. He absolutely didn't believe that Tang Qiuli and his generals would make such a low-level mistake, which frightened Ito.

One judgment is that this is the conspiracy of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, and he must be waiting for me somewhere ahead.

That's not right. Tang Qiuli's troops were all concentrated on the front lines of Mogok and Mandalay. The third unit from him was enough to compete with the main force of the dispatched army. Ito was confused. Furthermore, the rear guard reported,

No pursuing troops of the Japanese Army were found, which meant that the imperial army could retreat southward calmly.

Is there such a good thing? Ito, who had been hit hard many times, didn't believe this fact at all. On October 14, Ito's headquarters entered Loigu. By the time they got here, they had already walked halfway to Yangon.

, the vanguard of the Japanese army has reached the Dandang line, and no troops of the Japanese Army have intercepted or blocked it. The tense nerves of the Japanese soldiers began to relax.

No one believed that the troops of the Japanese Army would attack the Imperial Army again. Only Ito morbidly believed that the devil's troops in China would appear in unexpected places like ghosts. He said over and over again on the phone.

He emphasized again and again, "Pay attention to ambushes, pay attention to interceptions, pay attention to dangerous areas, conduct fire reconnaissance first, and send small groups of troops to search and advance."

The Japanese division commanders almost had calluses on their ears. In the end, they all got tired of hearing, "Why, Commander, you are like a psychopath, always imagining that the enemy will appear. The division's

The pursuers are still about four days away from us. "Needless to say, Ito's actions greatly reduced the speed of the Japanese army's retreat.

Before the pursuit of the ** Division arrived, on October 15th, the bomber group and fighter group of Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group arrived. There were more than 200,000 Japanese troops. The retreat route stretched for more than 100 kilometers, and everything was possible.

At the location of the bombing, the aircraft fleet of the Japanese Army was like a blind man, turning a blind eye to the large Japanese troops retreating south, but they seized the Japanese rearguard and launched air strikes and bombings vigorously.

The soldiers of the Japanese rear guard were bombed with their flesh and blood flying everywhere. They complained endlessly and cursed their commander-in-chief as a crow's mouth. They always said that there were pursuers. Now they really came, and they were a group of planes specially designed to drop bombs overhead.

Got your wish?

Not to mention, the explosion of Le Yiqin's fleet immediately accelerated the retreat of the Japanese troops. No one wanted to stay behind and become a living target for the planes. The Japanese troops on the stand could only shout that they were unlucky, not to mention too much in their hearts.

Depressed, there are people who are more depressed than Japanese soldiers.
