"Hai." Yuasa Kurahira paused and then said, "In Hawaii, after Yamashita Tomofumi's 26th Army successively captured Kahoolawe Island and Maui Island, only the small Oahu and Kauai Islands were left. It is still under the control of the US military, but your majesty can rest assured that the supply of supplies to the US military on the island has been completely cut off."
"Without supplies, especially fresh water, the U.S. military on the island cannot hold on for long."
"Sasaki's 16th Army has also landed in Borneo. The Dutch army on the island is more fragile than imagined. It was defeated as soon as it came into contact. Therefore, it is only a matter of time before the 16th Army takes over Borneo and even the entire East Indies. , according to my estimate, it will only take ten days at most."
"Yo Xi." Hirohito nodded happily, then continued, "What about Australia?"
"Australia is still in some trouble for the time being." Yuasa Kurahira whispered, "Due to the limited number of merchant ships mobilized, priority must be given to protecting the 16th Army and the 26th Army at this stage, so the 15th Army may have to wait for a while, but fortunately , Australia is a completely isolated continent, and it is impossible to receive external reinforcements even in a few years."
Speaking of this meal, Yuasa Kurahei added: "As long as the Pacific Ocean is still under the control of the Navy's Combined Fleet, Australia will be the empire's meal, and you can eat it whenever you want."
Hirohito said: "Yes, I have never been worried about Australia, but Myanmar"
Yuasa Kurahira paused and said: "Yes, the situation in Myanmar is indeed not optimistic."
Hirohito's face immediately fell, and he said in a deep voice: "Why are you so pessimistic?"
Yuasa Kurahira whispered: "According to the information provided by Tekko's intelligence personnel lurking in Myanmar, the handover between the China Expeditionary Force and the British-Burmese seems to have been completed, and there was no conflict in the process."
"Nani?" Hirohito frowned and said, "It seems that your Ministry of Internal Affairs didn't say that before?"
"Hai." Yuasa Kurahira paused and said, "This is my dereliction of duty. I misjudged the British reaction, so I ask your Majesty to punish me."
"Forget it, let's talk about the punishment later." Hirohito snorted and said, "I didn't expect that the handover between the China Expeditionary Force and the British-Burmese Army could be completed smoothly, so that the China Expeditionary Force would have sufficient Time is used to deploy Myanmar's defense, and the 25th Army is about to face an unprecedented fierce battle."
"Hai." Yuasakura Ping paused and said, "Fortunately, Ishihara-kun was already prepared for this. During the battle to attack the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, he did not even use the 1st and 2nd Guards Divisions, and the 8th Guards Division. The division only used an infantry regiment, which means that he has already been preparing in advance for the Battle of Burma."
"Ishihara Wanji?" Hirohito frowned, "I hope his ability can match his reputation."
"Hai." Yuasa Kurahira paused for a moment and whispered, "Ishihara-kun will not disappoint His Majesty."
¡¡
In Yangon, Myanmar, the British-Burmese Army Headquarters.
The former British-Burmese Army Headquarters has become the Burmese Theater Commander¡¯s Department.
In the war room, Zhong Yi, Stilwell, Wang Geng, Yang Sen, Pan Wenhua, Deng Xihou and Wang Lingji and other senior generals from the Myanmar theater were gathered around the sand table.
"Look, everyone, this is Bangkok." Wang Geng pointed to the sand table and said, "After the Japanese army captures Singapore, they will definitely attack Myanmar by land via Bangkok!"
¡°The border between Myanmar and Thailand is thousands of miles long.¡±
"However, the Shanbang Plateau in the north has deep mountains and dense forests, and there are no roads."
"Not to mention whether the Japanese army has the courage to cross the jungle, even if their infantry has the courage to cross the tropical jungle, their heavy equipment will not be able to get through, so there is no need to worry in the short term."
¡°That is to say, at least in the first stage of the campaign, the Japanese army¡¯s main attack direction can only be in the area south of Kayah State.¡±
"The Dawei and Mawlamyine areas south of Kayah State are flat plains with no danger to defend. Therefore, the narrow strip in the east has no value at all and should be abandoned decisively."
¡°The only ones we can use are the three rivers east of Yangon.¡±
¡°The three rivers east of Yangon are, from front to back, the Salween River, the Sidang River, and the Bago River.¡±
"The water surface of the Salween River is wide and the river bed is deep enough. The Japanese Navy's warships can go up the river. Therefore, the Salween River cannot be defended at all."
"If we insist on defending the Salween River, we will have no choice but to repeat the mistakes of the Battle of Songhu and become a living target for the Japanese navy."
"And the Bago River is too shallow and narrow, so it is very difficult for engineers and soldiers toThe pontoon bridge could be easily erected, but it was not enough to stop the Japanese advance. "
"So the only thing we can use is the Xidang River! Xidang River! We must build the Xidang River defense line into an impregnable one in the shortest possible time."
¡°We want to make the Xidang River a chasm that the Japanese army cannot cross!¡±
"Everyone, please look at the map carefully. If the Xidang River is compared to a lock, then Xidang City, located at the mouth of the Xidang River, is undoubtedly the key to unlocking this lock!"
"Once the city of Xidang is captured, the Japanese army can build a pontoon bridge near the mouth of the Xidang River without any scruples. The Japanese army's heavy equipment can easily cross the Xidang River, and the defense line of the Xidang River will collapse!"
"So, we need an elite force to guard Xidang! Guard this key!"
Having said this, Wang Geng stopped talking, and the war room fell into silence.
Zhong Yi¡¯s eyes swept across the faces of Yang Sen, Wang Lingji, Deng Xihou and Pan Wenhua. When he was hesitating which group army should hand over this task, a figure suddenly took a step forward.
When everyone looked back anxiously, they discovered that it was Yang Sen, the commander-in-chief of the 27th Group Army.
"Sir Zhong!" Yang Sen took a step forward and said, "Leave this task to our 27th Army!"
After a pause, Yang Sen continued: "As long as there is one person in our 27th Group Army, and as long as I, Yang Sen, am still alive, the little Japanese will never even think about stepping into Xidang City!"
Zhong Yi looked at Yang Sen deeply and did not agree immediately.
¡°To be honest, Yang Sen actually has a history of abandoning cities and losing land.
In the Battle of Anqing, Yang Sen¡¯s 20th Army routed the Botian detachment within a few hours. They promised Principal Chang that they would hold on to Anqing for half a year, but it turned out to be a joke.
Because of this, Principal Chang was so angry that he almost sent someone to shoot Yang Sen.
Although there were other reasons, it is an indisputable fact that Yang Sen failed to hold Anqing. A force that can truly fight a tough battle will not have its combat effectiveness affected by the external environment.
So Zhong Yi is worried about Yang Sen, fearing that he will have diarrhea at a critical moment. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
