Another Japanese lieutenant general standing next to Masao Watanabe smiled, "Watanabe-kun, are you serious, I won't lose to anyone in the competition."
"Hahaha."
Masao Watanabe laughed, "Yo Sai, Mutaguchi-kun, let's compare" The Japanese lieutenant general in front of him, Mutaguchi Ryoya, on July 7, 1937, because the commander of the infantry brigade and regiment of the garrison army, Major General Kawabe Shozo, was not in Beijing, so Mutaguchi Ryoya became the supreme commander on the scene, and he gave the order to fire at the Chinese defenders, and he became the first person responsible for provoking the conflict of the "77 Incident" Moreover, this person has always felt that the "China Incident" has become the Greater East Asia War, It's his responsibility, but in fact, it's just wishful thinking and he's proud of it.
"Let's compare with each other."
Mutaguchi Lianya also smiled, their plan, in their opinion, was foolproof, and the pockets had already been prepared, just waiting for the expeditionary force to take the bait and put it in the bag, "However, what if you win, what if you lose" Masao Watanabe smiled, "If I win, Mutaguchi-kun will invite me to a meal, and when I return to Japan, I will miss the taste of my hometown."
As soon as Masao Watanabe said, Mutaguchi Ryoya also showed a nostalgic look, "Okay, it's a word, if I win, Watanabe-kun will have to invite me to dinner."
"Of course" The two smiled and said yes, and at the same time ordered the departments to get ready.
On a small road, thousands of soldiers of the National Army walked slowly and leisurely, this is the 6th Division of the 49th Army, a unit used as a decoy.
"Master, there are 20 miles ahead and there is almost a forest."
A colonel spoke, "This should be the place where the devils are ambushed." ” "Okay, stop advancing" The major general of the national army waved his hand and squinted his eyes, "Wait for now, and when the other divisions are in place, we will continue." ” "Yes" "The devil must wonder why we stopped, the devil who buried the pot and cooked the province is suspicious" "Yes" It's already 12 noon, and the weather in Myanmar is very hot, so to speak, the sun is shining almost directly.
"T milk, this sun is really hot."
The soldiers of the national army who heard the order still complained a little, "Why don't you find a shady place to cook?"
"The order of the division is hot, and it's hot, it's not that it's not hot, it's not that it's so hot in the summer."
"That's right."
The soldiers talked a lot, they didn't know that there was an ambush by devils, and only a few high-ranking people knew about it, so as to prevent the grass from startling the snakes.
After all, the intelligence agency of the devil is too terrible for the national army.
However, fortunately, in this expedition to Burma, there are not many chess pieces that the devil can bury in the expeditionary army, and even if there is, the status will not be too high.
"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the people of China have stopped burying the pot and cooking" "How many troops does Nani have?"
"Hey, there are more than 10,000 people, probably the establishment of that division" "Is there a division, are there any other troops in the future?"
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the division commander, I haven't found it in the follow-up."
"It's okay, keep exploring" "Hi" "Watanabe-kun, what do you think" Mutaguchi Lian also squinted his eyes, "The weather is so hot, it's really unreasonable to bury the pot and cook now, besides, during the march, you should just eat some dry food with water, isn't it Or is it that the attack of the 55th Division is not strong enough, and it is not urgent for the people of Tonggu to ask for help."
"Haha, Mutaguchi-kun, you're too worried."
Masao Watanabe laughed, "This is not Shina, first of all, it is impossible for the Shina people to know that we are ambushed here without accurate intelligence sources, and secondly, even if they know, with our firepower, how many Shina people do you think it will take us down" Listening to Watanabe Masao's words, Mutaguchi Lianya nodded, indeed, this time, he brought two infantry wings, and although the 55th Division is not full, it is well-equipped, fully mechanized, and has strong firepower, plus his two wings, even if the national army comes with 100,000 people, it is not a problem, "That's true, but it's better to be careful." ” "Don't worry, send a telegram to the headquarters in a while, and tell Your Excellency the Commander that the reinforcements from China are stalling not far from Tonggu, and it seems that they are going to deal a fatal blow to the 55th Division at the last moment."
Masao Watanabe said with a sympathetic voice, "Your Excellency the Commander will definitely ask the 55th Division to increase the intensity of the attack, and finally, the Shina people will ask the supporting troops to speed up the march." ” "Makes sense."
Mutaguchi Lian also nodded, "Although the 55th Division is now surrounding Tonggu, however, Tonggu's Shina army is actually enough to deal with it, so we still have to give the Shina people a little bit of fierce material."
The people of China must also want to defeat the 55th Division, and I guess they may go around to the back of the 55th Division, intending to flank the 55th Division together."
"It's true that the people of China don't know that we are here now, and in their opinion, the enemy is only the 55th Division," Watanabe Masao said, "However, no matter what, they are going to pass through us, and as long as they pass through us, they will definitely enter our encirclement."
"Hmm" The 49th Division, on the other hand, has reported to the command that they have arrived at the designated place and asked if several other divisions have arrived at the designated place and can continue to advance Gan Lichu received a telegram from the 49th Division, looked at the 93rd Division and the provisional 55th Division on his side, which were still about 10 kilometers away from the designated place, "Call back the 49th Division and ask them to wait."
At the same time, the 66th Army was telegraphed to send a notice as soon as they arrived at the designated place.
Then telegraph the 5th Division of the 200th Army that our division is about to arrive at the designated place and let them get ready."
"Yes" In order to fight this anti-ambush war, the 6th Army and the 66th Army also worked hard, and Gan Lichu became the temporary pre-war commander of this anti-ambush war.
They must ensure that before the 49th Division enters the encirclement of the devils, the other divisions have already arrived at the designated places and can launch an attack on the devils in time, otherwise, the 49th Division will definitely be eaten clean by the devils.
After a while, Gan Lichu received a call back from several troops, the 66th Army was still about 10 kilometers away from the designated place, and the 200th Division had already arrived at the designated place and was waiting for them.
At 2 p.m. on March 20, the units arrived at the designated location, and the 6th Division of the 49th Army also continued to move forward after packing up.
The sun was so fierce that people couldn't open their eyes, and the soldiers of the national army wore military uniforms with short sleeves and shorts, carried guns on their backs, and their skin was tanned, and walked forward slowly, as if walking.
Before setting off again, the 49th Division had already told the soldiers all the purpose of this trip, after all, it was only a few kilometers away from the battlefield, and there was absolutely no possibility of being known by the devils.
