The strength of the Japanese army was somewhat stretched thin in the vast Pacific theater.
Mainly, in China, too many troops have been spent.
If the Japanese army transferred all Chinese troops to the south, it is not yet known what kind of storm it will set off.
At such a time, we should be glad that the Japanese are greedy and ignorant, and their desires cover up their reason.
Of course, if Japan transfers all of China's troops to the south, then China's troops will also be vacated, and it is bound to draw more troops into Southeast Asia.
One ring and one ring, it's the same.
It's just that for the Chinese people, it would be a good thing if the battlefield was placed elsewhere.
It's just that in Burma, in addition to the 100,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force, it is the British army.
When the British army encountered the performance of the Japanese army, Zhou Weiguo didn't want to mention it again.
So, the British army was almost negligible.
Then, that is, 100,000 expeditionary forces, to deal with the Japanese army with more than 3 divisions, close to 80,000 people, is very stressful.
In terms of the combat effectiveness of the national army, the pressure is very great.
It is almost impossible to complete the counterattack.
However, in the end, it may not be possible, it is man-made.
If there is no plan, then design, if there are no conditions, then create, these have always been Zhou Weiguo's creed.
Although there are no generals in hand now, they can only exert the power in their hands to the extreme and inflict heavy losses on the Japanese army as much as possible.
As for whether the Japanese army will transfer its troops after the heavy losses, that is two words.
"Master, third brother, their telegram" Zhao Sheng handed over a dense telegram, "It is news about the terrain on the road from Yangon to Tonggu. ” Zhou Weiguo nodded, took it, and then began to mark it on the map.
Tonggu is just a small city on the South Burma Plain, also translated as Donghu or Donggua.
In later maps, if you don't zoom in on the map, you won't notice this place at all.
And now, on the map, it's just an inconspicuous dot.
Yangon, is a slightly larger point.
After the fall of Rangoon, the forces at the disposal of the coalition forces included the 17th Indian Division, the 1st Burmese Division, the 7th Armored Brigade, and the reinforced Chinese 5th and 6th Armies.
But with the exception of the Chinese troops, the combat effectiveness of the British side had been greatly reduced, and there were only 150 planes supporting these troops.
So, it's hard.
When Zhou Weiguo marked all the information on the telegram, and then sighed, at this time, I am afraid that Dai Anlan with the Fifth Army would not think of giving the Japanese an ambush.
"Katsuko, come here."
Zhou Weiguo beckoned.
Zhao Sheng walked over, "What's the matter, Shiza." ” "You send a report to Division Commander Dai of the Fifth Army and tell him that in this place, see if they can ambush a wave of little devils" Zhou Weiguo pointed to a small dot on the map, "Tell him that the total number of devils in Burma is so much, if the ambush can hit the devils' living forces, it will be helpful for future operations."
Offense is the best defense. ” "Hao Lak" Zhao Sheng nodded, turned around and went to send a report.
This method of warfare, in the eyes of the rest of the command, would not have consented.
Because soon, when Alexander came, they would soon plan a so-called Battle of Mandalay, and then pit the expeditionary force to death.
So, when Dai Anlan received the telegram, his brows were furrowed, most of the time, how to fight on the front line, you still need to listen to the words of the command.
However, Zhou Weiguo's design can be designed as an encounter, which is not impossible.
And the telegram said very clearly, the Japanese army will definitely chase them, then, along the way, they will have countless time to prepare, and keep retreating, it is better to prepare for the yin and yin Japanese, and he agrees with Zhou Weiguo's words very much, offense is the best defense.
The Japanese army in Yangon was obviously not much, and the total number was about 40,000.
It is true that this amount is placed in peacetime, and it is clear how many national troops Dai Anlan wants.
But now, he didn't want to fight a positional war with the Japanese, just yin and yin.
What's more, even if the Japanese army advances, it will not rush up with all 40,000 people covered their heads.
However, with the strength in his hands now, it is still a little difficult to yin the Japanese and ambush.
After all, there was only one Fifth Army, less than 30,000 people, not to mention, a part of which was lost in Rangoon.
If the Sixth Army was also around here, Dai Anlan would not hesitate to do what Zhou Weiguo said.
"Anlan, I think you can actually give it a try, even if you can't let the devil lose much, you can delay the progress of the devil."
On the side, Gao Jiren spoke.
"That's right, the battle in Yangon was too embarrassing, no matter who it is, it needs an outlet."

"Okay, since that's the case, then let's plan a little better, and use the right number of troops to block it" Dai Anlan listened to everyone's words and nodded.
By the time Harold Alexander arrived in Kunming, it was March 13.
Stilwell gave Harold Alexander a warm welcome, after all, in the command, there was an Englishman in the command, and he would also be much more relaxed.
So, the two happily returned to the headquarters.
In addition, he began to plan the Battle of Mandalay.
Everything, according to inertia, is still going on.
At this moment, more than 100 kilometers north of Yangon, a Japanese army marching north stopped.
"Captain, there's a minefield ahead" "Nani", a Japanese soldier Dazuo, picked up a telescope and began to investigate.
Sure enough, an area in front of them was full of red flags, specifically reminding them that there was a minefield ahead.
And on both sides of this road, with water on one side and mountains on the other, it is impossible to bypass.
"Immediately let the sappers go up and clear the mines" "Hi" So, a team of Japanese sappers began to step forward, holding the detection ring in their hands.
But the strange thing is that even in the place where the point is marked, the detection circle in the hand does not respond.
"Captain, no response" one of the sappers looked at their squad leader.
"Digging" So, the sappers of this group all began to do the same, bending down, pulling out the small red flag planted on the ground, and then began to dig carefully.
I dug for a while, but I didn't find anything.
"Nothing" "No, it won't" "The people of China tease us" Several sappers whispered to each other.
I've dug quite deep, and I still haven't dug anything, which means that there is nothing buried here at all.
The soil of Myanmar is already a little wet and soft, not to mention that there is still a river on the left side of this area.
"Continue," the Japanese engineer squad leader continued.
"Hi" So, more than a dozen sappers began to dig at the next location.
Or nothing.
Moving on to the next place, nothing.
The sapper squad leader's face sank.
Digging is also very tiring, although as a sapper, I do a lot of this kind of work on weekdays, but this is the first time I have arrived in Myanmar "Continue testing ahead, and if there is still no response, dig up some random points" "Hi":
