Anda Twenty-San had already keenly felt that bad signs began to appear.

Since the encounter with the Chinese army, the propulsion speed of the divisions under the 27th Army has been significantly slowed down. After the 2nd Division was also transferred to assist the 28th Division, the situation has not improved significantly.

At night, the situation became even more wrong, and the Chinese army actually launched a counterattack.

After three days of fierce battles, the advancement of the 28th Division and the 2nd Division has completely stagnated!

This result was something Anda Twenty-Third Institute never expected. Originally, he thought that jungle warfare tests the willpower and tactical qualities of the officers and soldiers on both sides. In this regard, the Japanese army obviously had an overwhelming advantage. With its absolute superior force, his 27th Army would easily defeat the opposite Chinese army.

Anda Twenty-three is even looking forward to the "grand occasion" after the complete defeat of the Chinese army.

But after the two sides contacted each other, Anda Twenty-san discovered that this was not the case at all.

The tenacity of the Chinese army exceeded his imagination, but this was not what surprised him the most.

What surprised Anda Twenty-three the most was that the tactical qualities shown by the Chinese army in jungle warfare were far above the Japanese army. How could this be possible?

"Baga, how is that possible?" Anda Twenty-san was still in disbelief until this time.

Chief of Staff Nakataro said: "Although the Commander is reluctant to admit it, the cruel reality is that it is difficult to move forward now, both the 28th Division and the 2nd Division."

It is true, the 28th Division and the 2nd Division are now hard to move forward.

Hunting traps, simple mines modified from bullets, are almost all over the jungle.

If it's just a trap or mine, it's not a problem, and it takes some time to clean it up.

The most troublesome thing is the Chinese army hiding in the jungle. These Chinese army have almost no established troops. Most of them are in groups of three and five people, hiding in trees, in the water, or even under dead leaves. Whenever the Japanese army passes by, they will emerge from the secret and kill and injure the Japanese army.

After the battle, these Chinese soldiers will soon disappear without a trace.

The dense jungle on the east bank of the Irrawaddy River provided excellent cover for these Chinese soldiers.

In contrast, the Japanese army's reaction seemed a bit clumsy. Most of the time, the Japanese army would only send search teams, but all the search teams sent often went without returning.

At night, the Chinese soldiers became even more arrogant and even dared to attack the brigade-level camp.

Last night, the camps of two infantry brigades of the 28th Division were attacked by Chinese troops. Although the attack of the Chinese army was finally repelled, many casualties were killed or injured.

One of the infantry brigades even completely lost their combat effectiveness.

If Anda Nobusa is a cautious and pragmatic commander, he should calm down and think seriously about Ishihara Kanir's suggestions.

Because the cruel facts have been placed before the 27th Army.

If this continues, not to mention whether the 27th Army can make a breakthrough before the 25th Army, even if the 27th Army breaks through the national defense line before the 25th Army, most of them are exhausted and unable to continue to expand the results of the war.

Since that's the case, why bother to work hard and insist on following Ren'an-Kang's detour?

Unfortunately, Anda Twenty-Three has never been a cautious and pragmatic commander.

Anda 23 was born into a military family. His father, two older brothers and three uncles were all senior generals of the army.

Being born in such a family, you can imagine how high Anda Twenty-san's vision is.

Anda No. 23 especially looked down on Ishihara Kanir, but only he knew whether this was because of his jealousy of Ishihara Kanir or because of Hideki Tojo.

Anyway, it is impossible to make Anda Noi bow his head to Ishihara Kanir.

Thinking of this, Anda Twenty-san's heart, which had begun to shake, became firm again.

"Zhongyongjun, you ignore a very important point." Anda Twenty-san said in a deep voice.

"Is that true?" Nakanagataro said with a frown, "I don't know what point Huine ignored?"

"You have ignored the limits of the Chinese army's physical endurance!" Anda Twenty-three said in a deep voice, "Yes, in these three days and nights of jungle battles, the Chinese army did show tactical qualities far beyond our imagination, but there is no need to say that the number of troops of the Imperial Army still has an advantage. According to intelligence, the number of troops of our army is at least twice that of the opposite Chinese army!"

Nakanagataro's heart suddenly moved after hearing this and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Commander means..."

Anda Twenty-three smiled grimly and said, "The reason why the Chinese army has performed better than the Imperial Army in the past three days is not because their tactical qualities are really higher than those of the Imperial Army, but because their system is smaller and their tactics are more flexible."

"That's true." Nakanagataro nodded, "In the past three days of jungle battle, most of the imperial army carried out combat missions in corps, at least in the size of the brigade. The Chinese army is not the case. Usually there are dozens or even several groups, and they will only gather quickly when necessary to form a large ambush array."

"So." Anda said twenty-three times, "The Imperial Army can completely imitate the Chinese army's approach. We can completely divide half of the troops and go deep into the jungle to carry out combat missions based on infantry squads or even infantry teams. Only when encountering a large number of Chinese army can it be necessary to dispatch the established main force."

"Soga!" Nakanagataro said, "In this way, the Imperial Army's response should be much more flexible."

After a pause, Nakayakataro said again: "But in this way, our army will definitely be entangled with the Chinese army in the jungle near Magui for a period of time. In this case, the tactical goal of capturing Ren'anqiong within five days set before the war will probably be completely destroyed."

Anda Twenty-san's face immediately became gloomy again.

The inability to win Ren'anqiang as planned is undoubtedly a great denial of his military command capabilities.

But soon, Anda Twenty-san cheered up again and said, "It doesn't matter. Even if we delay taking Ren'anqiang for a few days, it will not have much impact on the entire battle situation, because no matter what, our 27th Army will definitely break through the defense line of the Chinese army before the 25th Army, and then complete the encirclement of the Chinese army."

Nakanagataro did not have the confidence of Anda Nobusa.

But Anda Twenty-three had already said that, so he couldn't say anything else.
Chapter completed!
