Da DaBut at this moment, the Japanese army was facing an impact from three sides, the First Army led by Gao Dong, Sun Liren's New First Army, Xue Yue's army, and the British who counterattacked.There was also a Senran tank behind them slowly advancing towards them, and for a while all the devils felt the horror of death.A huge shadow hung over their heads, making every devil desperate to survive.Mutaguchi Lian was also in a hurry, jumping up and down in the troops, and commanding the troops to plug leaks everywhere.At the same time, he also began to practice the 28th Army, hoping that friendly troops would come to his rescue and help him out of his predicament.The river side is already desperate, and Mutaguchi Lian doesn't listen to him, and now the whole army is trapped, and there is no hope of escape at all.Unless the 28th Army can put on its wings and arrive, they will already become turtles in the urn.Gao Dong checked the situation on the battlefield from a distance, put down the binoculars, immediately came to the communication soldier, and connected Xue Yue's phone."
Chief Xue, it's time to stop the attack," Gao Dong said.On the other end of the phone, Xue Yue said with a confused expression: "Stop the attack, now is the best time to attack" Gao Dong smiled slightly: "The Japanese have been trapped and can't escape, we don't need to let the soldiers go up and sacrifice their lives in vain."
Retreat back and surround this group of devils, they will soon be in chaos without a fight" Xue Yue quickly understood what Gao Dong meant: "Okay, then I will immediately contact General Sun Liren and friendly troops, and ask them to stop firing and surround here" Hanging up the phone, Xue Yue directly contacted the US army and told Stilwell what he and Gao Dong said.Stilwell weighed it for a moment and felt that this was the best plan for his side, so he immediately agreed to Xue Yue's request and called the British army and Sun Liren's troops.After all, he is an American, and in his eyes, human life is more important than everything.It's best to protect the lives of your own soldiers."
Sir, the enemy has stopped attacking" Mutaguchi Ryoya suddenly heard the report of his subordinates, raised his head suddenly, and looked ahead blankly.I saw that the enemy troops who had been attacking had begun to retreat slowly and stopped attacking them."
Thank God, thank God" Mutaguchi Renya shouted loudly: "Finally stopped attacking, they finally retreated" Kawabe Shozo on the side looked at Mutaguchi Renya's appearance, and wanted to go up and strangle him now.What if they retreated, but they didn't say let them go.Now the Japanese army doesn't even have a grain of rice, as long as people surround their side, they can still be happy to see you.But Mutaguchi didn't care about this, he just wanted the other party to retreat.Then wait quietly here for the 28th Army to come to the rescue, as long as the reinforcements arrive, they can retreat safely."
Immediately order the troops to be deployed on the spot, and as soon as the enemy attacks, immediately repel them" Mutaguchi Ryoya ordered loudly.The Japanese army intensified its defense on this side, and after the encircled troops retreated to a distance of 800 meters, they also began to tighten their defense in place.Both sides seem to be seizing the time, racing against time, as if they are afraid that there will not be enough time.On this day, not a single gunshot was fired on the battlefield again.In the evening, in Xue Yue's headquarters.The lieutenant general of the British army, General Sun Liren, Xue Yue, Gao Dong, and the commander of the American army, Stilwell, gathered together to convene this supreme combat meeting."
Ladies and gentlemen, we all know the situation very well.The Japanese devils have been surrounded in the Imphal area, and there are no supplies left.Today we're talking about what to do next," Stilwell said, smoking a cigar."
Of course, kill these Japanese brutes," the British lieutenant general stood up angrily."
These Japanese devils have no value in living in the world, and it is a scourge to keep them.I suggest that we attack tomorrow morning and kill them" Stilwell smiled and waved at him, "My friend, don't be impulsive.I know that this time your troops paid a huge price.But please don't get emotional, if you charge at this time, it will still be a fierce battle, and more soldiers will die innocently" "Oh my God, don't you want your soldiers to go home in peace" Stilwell shrugged.The British lieutenant general was silent, and sat down in a huff, his eyes staring elsewhere.Stilwell smiled and looked at the others, "Well, let's listen to everyone's opinions." ”Seeing that no one spoke, Gao Dong stood up and said in standard English: "I think that since the Japanese have been surrounded, there is no need to attack."
Use long-range artillery bombardment to force the enemy to constantly break through to deplete their living forces.And the weather has been very hot recently, the Japanese army has no water, no food, and no medicine, and will soon suffer heavy losses.We don't need to spend any manpower to completely wipe them out within a week" The British lieutenant general looked at Gao Dong, and his eyes clearly showed contempt: "Which one are you" Gao Dong said without humility or arrogance: "Chief of Staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Gao Dong.This time, he led the First Army of our People's Liberation Army into Burma to fight" "I see" The corners of the British lieutenant general's mouth obviously showed a sneer."
What does this mean, can I understand it as contempt for me," Gao Dong looked at him coldly.The British lieutenant general smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, I just think that it is a little too hasty for a Chinese general to decide the direction of the war."
What do you know" Stilwell's face changed slightly, and Xue Yue and Sun Liren's faces immediately became ugly.Suddenly, Gao Dong laughed and looked at the British lieutenant general with cold eyes."
My honorable general, I will tell you why I have the ability to decide the course of the war" Gao Dong strode up to him, looked down at him, and said, "While you British were being beaten and curled up in the trenches like dogs, we fought all the way from western Yunnan in China.I don't know how many Japanese devils I killed halfway through to get you out of the kennel" "You" The British lieutenant general stood up angrily, but soon, he was forced to sit down again by the terrifying light in Gao Dong's eyes.Gao Dong sneered: "You British can't hold Burma, you can't hold Singapore, you can't hold Malaysia, you have been beaten to India, and you almost can't even hold India." ”"And we, the People's Liberation Army, have wiped out millions of devils in China.Just by virtue of this, what qualifications do you have to shout in front of me" "Just because you are a British's superiority" Gao Dong sneered: "If you think like this, you are wrong, by force, you are nothing, even the Japanese devils are not comparable" "Okay, two generals, we are friendly forces, please don't fight each other" Stilwell hurriedly pulled the two apart.The British lieutenant general was speechless in anger, turned his head, and simply stopped looking at Gao Dong."
That's a good point," Xue Yue secretly gave Gao Dong a thumbs up.Stilwell coughed, looked at Gao Dongdao, and said, "Mr.
Gao's name, I've heard it a long time ago.Then this time, let's also listen to Mr.
Gao's opinion, I always think that this is the best plan for us at the moment" "What" The British lieutenant general stood up suddenly, glared at Stilwell and said: "General, you actually want to listen to him." ”"Don't forget, we are allies, and I am your commander here, I have the final say" Stilwell looked at the lieutenant general coldly: "Is there still a problem" The British lieutenant general was helpless: "No problem" and then sat down angrily."
Okay, since it's no problem, then starting tonight, all the artillery, every hour, will shell the direction of the Japanese and force them to charge our trenches" Stilwell smiled and nodded to Gao Dong, his eyes full of respect.The night was torn apart by artillery fire, and the sweltering night that had just dispersed was rekindled by the shells that had fallen violently.The Japanese positions were bombarded indiscriminately, and the night sky was lit up by artillery fire.The Japanese hurriedly took refuge in this artillery fire, struggling to survive.Mutaguchi Ryoya's headquarters was in a freshly dug hole on a hillside, which was now their bomb crater.Almost all the high-ranking officers hid here, and the whole hole was so tight that no one wanted to lean on the outside."
Damn it, they actually shelled us" Mutaguchi Ryoya looked at the dense artillery fire outside the cave with indignation: "As long as we wait for a week, the 28th Army will come to support us, and we can leave from here" "Are you sure, the 28th Army will definitely be able to support us within a week" Kawabe Shozo asked dissatisfied.Mutaguchi Lianya nodded firmly: "Of course I'm sure, I've already passed through the gas with them, and they are rushing towards us at full speed at the moment" A series of shells exploded outside the cave, and the bodies of several devil soldiers were directly blown in by the shock wave, which scared several devil officers standing at the entrance of the cave.The cave smelled of blood, and the breath of death descended on everyone's heads.Mutaguchi Ryoya also began to pray in his heart, praying that the 28th Army would better come in advance and relieve them from their current predicament.According to Stilwell's arrangement, the artillery fire was bombarded every hour for twenty minutes at intervals.And the artillery fire was divided into several levels, the British and American artillery bombarded together, the Chinese artillery bombarded together, and then all the tanks and self-propelled guns bombarded together.This creates a bombing surface that covers all points, leaving the devils with almost nowhere to hide.The night slowly subsided, and the Japanese spent a painful night under artillery bombardment.As soon as dawn came, so did the artillery fire.The artillery that bombarded them seemed to be tired, and bombarded them day and night, as if they would not stop until they were killed.But what frightened the Japanese most was that as the sun appeared, a violent heat wave also rolled in on them.aa2705221:
