Chapter 1833 Airborne
Meijiro Umezu noticed the change in Kimura Hitotaro's expression and asked, "Kimura, have you discovered anything?"
"Genius General, yes, we may have a chance to turn the tables!" Kimura Hitotaro took a deep breath and said, "Zhong Yi was determined to launch this wave of offensive. Although it was to put our Burmese condemnation army in a dangerous situation, the Chinese Expeditionary Force would inevitably reveal flaws while attacking fiercely!"
"What flaw?" said Mijiro Umezu, "Speak quickly!"
"Your Excellency, look." Kimura Hitotaro pointed to the map, "Here."
Umezu Mijiro looked in the direction of Kimura Hitoro's finger, but his brows immediately frowned and said, "Minra River? Is there any problem with this?"
Kimura Hitotaro shook his head and said, "There is no problem with the Minra River, but there is a problem with the railway bridge on the Minra River!"
"The railway bridge of Minra River?" Umezu Mijiro finally reacted and said, "You mean, blow up the railway bridge on Minra River?"
"Yes!" Kimura Hitaro nodded, "The armored cluster of the China Expeditionary Force is of high power, but it is also very dependent on roads and bridges. Especially the bridges that lie across the river. Once damaged or broken, the armored cluster of the China Expeditionary Force will become a decoration!"
After a pause, Kimura Hitotaro said again: "The Minra River Railway Bridge is the only railway bridge available from Taungeto to Myanmar! Once the armored cluster of the Chinese Expeditionary Force crosses the Minra River from here, there will be no danger until Myanmar!"
"Yo Xi!" Umezu Mijiro said again, "Is it still time to go?"
"It's time to go." Kimura Hitotaro said in a deep voice, "The Minra River Railway Bridge is only 50 kilometers away from Yangon, but it is more than 300 kilometers away from Tamjeedun! Not to mention that the Chinese army's armored cluster has not yet arrived in Tamjeedun, even if they have already passed Tamjeedun, it is impossible to rush to the Minra River Bridge before the Imperial Army!"
"Yo Xi." Umezu Mijiro nodded happily and said, "Order!"
A communications officer standing next to him immediately opened the folder and picked up the pen.
Meijiro Umezu waved his hand and signaled that there was no need to record it. He said: "The guard brigade immediately went out of the Minra River Railway Bridge. Be sure to blow up the bridge before it gets dark today!"
...
Mandalay, airport hall.
Usa Mitsuru held the microphone and stood attentively and said, "Sir Zhong!"
"Usa Mikun." Zhong Yi's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone, "The mission of your Special Forces Brigade 2nd Regiment is to airborne Minra Town and guard the Minra River Bridge!"
"Yes!" Usa Mitsuru responded with a loud bang, "Please ensure that the task is completed!"
More than a year has passed, and Usa Mirō has completed a general of the national army.
After hanging up the phone, Usa Mitsuru picked up his helmet and walked out of the lounge.
Two seconds later, a rapid gathering whistle sounded outside the lounge.
The special forces team members who were originally chatting and drinking tea in the lounge jumped up like conditioned reflexes and rushed out like sharp arrows.
In less than two minutes, more than 200 members of the 2nd Regiment of the Special Forces Brigade had already completed the assembly outside the lounge.
Almost at the same time, the cross Douglas 3 transport aircraft anchored on the runway also began to start the engine, and the propeller began to rotate rapidly.
Usa Mitsuru walked to the front of the queue with his helmet in his arms and stood still: "Tell me!"
More than 200 special forces team members lined up to stand attentively.
Usa Mitsuru's eyes swept across the faces of the front linemen and said in a deep voice: "This mission is to airborne Minra Town, and then guard Minra Town Bridge until the Armored 1st Brigade arrives!"
More than 200 special forces team members looked indifferent, and for them, there was no difference between them no matter what mission they had.
In the long and arduous training and long battles, the special combat brigade has long developed the spirit of looking down on the world. We are the most powerful special forces in the world, no doubt about it!
Usa Mitsuru nodded slightly and shouted, "Everything is available, check the equipment!"
All the team members began to check their equipment in groups.
After the inspection, Usa Mitsuru shouted again: "Check on the plane!"
A moment later, eight transport planes roared into the air.
...
The Chief Officer of the Myanmar War Zone in Mandalay.
Stilwell had already left, and he felt that he would have a heart attack if he stayed.
"General, the 2nd Regiment of the Special Forces Brigade has set off." Wang Geng walked to Zhong Yi and said.
While speaking, Wang Geng signaled the combat staff beside him to mark the map and sand table.
After a while, a thin and long red arrow pointed straight from Mandalay to Minra Town, less than fifty kilometers north of Yangon.
Zhong Yi stared at the arrow for half a minute and said, "Where is the Armored 1st Brigade now?"
Wang Geng took the folder from a staff officer, searched for a while and replied: "I have passed Tamjee Dun and turned on the road from Tamjee Dun to Yangon."
Zhong Yi nodded and asked again: "Where is the 23rd Army? Where have you arrived?"
Wang Geng remembered clearly and immediately replied: "The vanguard of the 23rd Army Group, the 132nd Infantry Division, had just passed the defense line of the Japanese 8th Division, and then followed up with the 133rd Infantry Division and the 134th Infantry Division are continuing to tear the defense line of the Japanese 25th Army to both wings to completely destroy the defense line of the Japanese 25th Army."
Zhong Yi waved his hand and said, "Tell me the order, the 133rd Infantry Division, the 134th Infantry Division ignore the Japanese army and go south directly with the 132nd Infantry Division! Follow me closely for the armor cluster!"
"But..." Wang Geng frowned, "In this case, if the Japanese Guards 1st Division and the 2nd Division of Guards launch a counterattack, the passage opened by the armored cluster before might be closed again. In this way, the armored cluster heading south and the infantry divisions that followed were cut off from the retreat!"
Zhong Yi said: "Are the automobile regiments that are all assigned to the armored cluster and various infantry divisions in place?"
"This has been in place long ago." Wang Geng said, "but the supplies carried by the car group are limited after all, and once they are exhausted, there will be no place to replenish them."
"Brother Shouqing, don't worry." Zhong Yi said, "The Japanese army can't support us when we run out of supplies! I can guarantee that as long as the first tank of the armored cluster drives into Yangon city, the battle will be over."
Wang Geng immediately stopped saying anything, he would say whatever he said.
Zhong Yi saw that Wang Geng was still a little worried, so he patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Shouqing, I think you can issue a notice to the reporters from all countries who are accompanying the army to prepare to attend tomorrow's press conference."
"Tomorrow? Press conference?" Three black lines immediately floated on Wang Geng's forehead.
