    In Yangon, the Myanmar Theater Commander's Department.

    Wang Geng hurried into the war room with a stack of telegrams and stood next to Zhong Yi.

    Zhong Yi's eyes still stayed on the simulated sand table, and he asked without raising his head: "Have all the ministries arrived at their designated positions?"

    "We have all arrived at the designated position." Wang Geng nodded and continued, "The 1st Armored Brigade has also made preparations for the assault."

    Nodding, Zhong Yi raised his wrist again.

    I saw that the hour hand was already pointing to zero.

    That is to say, it is already midnight on January 27, 1941.

    Wang Geng continued: "General, the special operations brigade reported that after nightfall, the Japanese 1st Guards Division's river-crossing operation has not stopped. So far, one and a half infantry regiments and one field artillery brigade have crossed.  Xidanghe, do you think we should launch an attack in advance? Otherwise, the 22nd Army, which is responsible for the main attack on the west bank, will be under too much pressure."

    Up to now, the Japanese army that has crossed the Xidang River has a semi-infantry regiment, a field artillery brigade, a combat artillery brigade and an independent tank squadron. The main attack on the west bank is Deng Xihou's 22nd Group Army.  The group army also only has four divisions under its jurisdiction, so its strength is somewhat tight.

    "It doesn't matter." Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "We can let the artillery provide support."

    "That's right." Wang Geng nodded and said, "Good steel must be used on the blade. At this juncture, it's time for the artillery brigade to show its sword to the Japanese!"

    ¡­¡­

    Xidang City, on the street.

    A line of Vickers light tanks has been deployed along the cross street in the city.

    Yang Sen, surrounded by several division commanders and deputy division commanders such as Li Yueshen and Luo Yuan, came to Hu Xianqun.

    For Hu Xianqun¡¯s armored brigade, Yang Sen can be said to have deep resentment, because even at the most difficult moment of the Xidang defense battle, Hu Xianqun¡¯s 1st Armored Brigade did not dispatch even a single tank to provide them with support!

    Hu Xianqun would rather have his tanks hidden in civilian houses and be blown up by Japanese Air Force aerial bombs than drive them out onto the streets to provide cover for the infantry of their 27th Army.

    Sometimes when things get heated, Yang Sen really wants to kill Hu Xianqun.

    Of course, Yang Sen actually knew that Hu Xianqun was just following orders.

    The order not to allow the armored brigade to provide support was issued by the theater commander.

    Therefore, Yang Sen also had deep resentment towards Wang Geng, the chief of staff of the theater.

    However, Yang Sen had no resentment against Zhong Yi, the commander-in-chief, because he felt that Zhong Yi would never issue such an unkind order, because Zhong Yi loved his soldiers like his own son.  In the war zone, Yang Sen watched what Zhong Yi did to them from beginning to end.

    This must be Wang Geng¡¯s order behind Zhong Yi¡¯s back.

    Therefore, Yang Sen hated Wang Geng so much that he gritted his teeth.

    But just now, after receiving the latest order from the superior department, Yang Sen finally felt relieved.

    It turns out that this order was really issued by Zhong Yi, and the reason why Zhong Yi did this was to keep Hu Xianqun's 1st Armored Brigade tonight to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese!

    Yang Sen¡¯s own family knows his own affairs. His 27th Army now has only 2,000 men left, and most of them are wounded. If reinforcements are not sent, they will only be able to hold on for three days at most.

    "It's a pity that the commander's department can't send any reinforcements at all.

    But if tonight¡¯s counterattack can defeat or even annihilate the ancient Japanese army, then Deng Xihou¡¯s 22nd Army can send at least one division for reinforcements.

    Although the strength of the First Division is not large, it is extremely precious to the current 27th Group Army. It can at least allow him to persist for another seven or eight days.

    Yang Sen¡¯s only worry now is that tonight¡¯s counterattack will not be as effective as expected.

    "Commander Yang!" Seeing Yang Sen coming, Hu Xianqun quickly stood at attention and saluted.

    "Brigadier Hu." Yang Sen returned the military salute and asked worriedly, "Does your 1st Armored Brigade really not need the coordinated operations of our 27th Group Army?"

    "It's really unnecessary." Hu Xianqun shook his head and said, "Tonight we are attacking at full speed, you infantry can't keep up."

    Yang Sen frowned and said: "But without the coordinated protection of our infantry, your armored brigade will be in danger."

    "Regarding this, Commander-in-Chief Yang, please rest assured." Hu Xianqun said, "When we attack near Guse, the 146th Division and 147th Division of the 23rd Group Army should also arrive."

    "That's it."?Yang Sen said with relief after hearing this, "That'll be fine."

    After saying this, Yang Sen stretched out his hand and said, "Then I wish you success immediately."

    "Thank you for your auspicious words." Hu Xianqun first gave a military salute, then stretched out his hand to shake Yang Sen's hand.

    The east bank of the Xidang River.

    In the dense jungle, an army of more than 5,000 people was taking advantage of the night to move south quickly. This army was of course the 146th Division and the 147th Division of Pan Wenhua's 23rd Group Army.

    He Rukai, the commander of the 146th Division, and Zheng Gongliang, the commander of the 147th Division, were originally just regimental commanders, but after a short training at Army University, they were promoted to division commanders.

    Although their further studies at Army University were short, Zhong Yi instilled many concepts into them.

    Therefore, He Rukai and Zheng Gongliang are extremely looking forward to tonight's operation, because this is the first real offensive operation since they entered Myanmar.

    In this offensive operation, they can finally practice coordinated operations.

    They urgently want to know, is the Butan collaboration really that powerful?

    According to the theory instilled by Zhong Yi, an army, whether attacking or defending, has a certain stability. Once this stability is broken, it will be unable to advance or retreat, and may fall apart at any time.

    Tonight¡¯s offensive operation will be led by the 1st Armored Brigade, which will tear open the kid¡¯s defense line.

    The infantry of the 146th and 147th Divisions led by the two of them broke into the defense depth of the Japanese 1st Guards Division through the hole torn by the 1st Armored Brigade, thereby destabilizing the division and causing chaos.  Even rout.

    Wiping the sweat from his forehead, He Rukai turned around and asked the Chinese guide beside him: "Fellow, how far is it?"

    ¡°It¡¯s almost here.¡± The Chinese guide gasped, pointed forward and said, ¡°Go through this jungle and walk about ten miles further to Guse.¡±

    "Thank you." He Rukai said with concern, "We can walk the rest of the way on our own."

    He Rukai was worried about the safety of the Chinese guide, because he could encounter Japanese soldiers at any time if he went further.

    "It's okay." The Chinese guide shook his head and said, "There are several forked roads ahead. Those who don't know the way can easily go wrong. I will take you through the forked roads."

    "Okay." He Rukai didn't refuse anymore, because they really needed a guide.

    Because it is night in the primeval forest, the consequences of not having a guide are serious.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
