Chapter 1837 Take over the command

In Yangon, Myanmar sent the General Headquarters of the Condemnation Army.

Umezu Mijiro was pacing back and forth in the war room like an ant on a hot pan.

The telephone ringing sound of telegrams at the communications office next door was heard, and the communication staff members hurried out from time to time and handed the battle reports to the staff members in the war room.

The staff in the war room immediately picked up the angle and pencil and reflected these battle reports on the map.

From time to time, Mijiro Umezu would stand in front of the map for a while, and looked at the huge blue arrow on the map that was constantly extending towards Yangon, and his face became more and more embarrassing.

Because this huge blue arrow represents the armored cluster to which the Chinese Expeditionary Force belongs.

According to the information provided by the aviation scouts and the Myanmar Independence Army, a huge armored cluster consisting of nearly 1,000 tanks has bypassed the defense lines of the Japanese 25th Army, the 28th Army and the 29th Army, and is rapidly advancing towards Yangon from the western foot of the Bogu Mountains!

The only thing that can prevent the advance of the Chinese Expeditionary Force's armored cluster is the Minnahe Highway Bridge!

As long as the Minnahe Highway Bridge is blown up, the armored cluster of the Chinese Expeditionary Force will be blocked on the north shore.

However, what made Umezu Mijiro feel extremely upset was that the troops sent to bomb the bridge were still slower. When they arrived near the Mina River Bridge, they found that the Chinese Expeditionary Force had already sent an airborne force to occupy the place in advance.

Airborne troops! Umezu Mijiro couldn't believe that the Chinese Expeditionary Force actually formed an airborne troops!

You should know that airborne troops around the world are still a brand new subject. The airborne troops of the Imperial Japanese Army are still in the exploration stage. Although there are airborne troops, their tactics have not been improved. To put it bluntly, it is how to use the airborne troops that have not yet formed a systematic tactic.

However, the Chinese Expeditionary Force already seems to be very skilled in using airborne troops.

"Baga!" Thinking of this, Umezu Mijiro couldn't help but swear again.

Fortunately, the 7th and 8th Air Divisions dispatched by the Air Force in Thailand and Myanmar still have a certain advantage over the Chinese Air Force.

About half an hour ago, two fighter squadrons of the 7th Aviation Division were dispatched to bomb the Minnahe Highway Bridge. If nothing unexpected happens, this time it should be successful.

And now, Mejiro Umezu is waiting for news from the Air Force.

Time passes slowly in annoying waiting, but no news is coming back.

Just as Mejiro Umezu felt a little impatient, Hitaro Kimura hurried in.

As soon as he saw Kimura Hitoro's expression, Mijiro Umezu's heart immediately paused.

Because Kimura Hitotaro's face was very embarrassing, it was like a relative who had just died.

Did the Air Force's actions fail? Umezu Mijiro's eyes suddenly turned black.

"Great General!" Sure enough, Kimura Hitotaro hurried to Mejiro Umezu and said with a pause, "Two fighter squadrons sent by the 7th Aviation Division to bomb the Mina River Bridge were ambushed by the Chinese Air Force. All fighter jets, including the fighter jets piloted by Takazo Iwamoto, the commander of the 7th Aviation Division, were shot down, and none survived!"

"Haga!" Meijiro Umezu's face turned pale in an instant, and then he asked anxiously, "Where is the bridge? Has the Toinagawa Bridge been blown up? Has the bridge been blown up?"

Kimura Hitaro sighed and said, "I'm sorry, General, the bridge was not blown up."

After a pause, Kimura Hitaro said: "And according to the news just provided by the Myanmar Independence Army, the armored cluster of the China Expeditionary Force has successfully passed through the Mina River Bridge."

"Haga!" Meijiro Umezu fell back onto the big chair.

It's over, now it's completely over. The armored cluster of the Chinese Expeditionary Force has successfully passed through the Minnahe Bridge. Then there was no obstacle until Yangon. However, in Yangon, only half of the guard brigade of the Myanmar sent to the condemnation army was left, and the command's staff and service personnel were left.

Although there are a large number of people, their combat effectiveness is very worrying.

It would be even more delusional to stop the armored cluster of thousands of tanks of the Chinese Expeditionary Force!

What to do? What to do now? Umezu Mijiro's eyes were circling, and his heart began to roar.

"There is no more help now, General." Kimura Hitotaro sighed again and said sadly, "With the loss of the Mina River Bridge and the successful passage of the armored cluster of the China Expeditionary Force through the Mina River Bridge, Yangon's loss is inevitable, and the destruction of the entire army of the Central Cluster is probably inevitable..."

"Nonsense!" Before he finished speaking, Mejiro Umezu forced Hitoro Kimura and said sternly, "The 25th Army only suffered greater losses, and the remaining three divisions were almost intact. The 28th Army and the 29th Army were even more unscathed. The middle cluster suffered almost no losses. How could the entire army be destroyed?"

"Great General, face it." Kimura Hitotaro said sadly, "The fall of Yangon, the 12 divisions of the three armies in the central cluster have become rootless trees and sourceless water. Not to mention ammunition supply, even the supply of food has become a problem. At most half a month or as little as three or five days, you will fall into a desperate situation where you are out of ammunition and food are exhausted!"

"No, Kimura-kun, you were wrong!" Umezu Mijiro shouted hysterically, "The Imperial Army has the supreme courage. Even if they lose supplies, they can still fight until... until the subsequent reinforcements arrive, counterattack Mandalay, and open up the supply line again. Yes, they will definitely be able to hold on until the end."

"Super reinforcements?" Kimura Hitaro smiled miserably and said, "Why do you have to deceive yourself, Your Majesty? The base camp has not mobilized more troops at all, so where can reinforcements be sent?"

Umezu Mijiro suddenly fell silent. Yes, there were no reinforcements.

Kimura Hitaro said again: "Great General, now you should think about what should you do if the 27th Army and the 30th Army on the left and right wings are as soon as possible? While the Chinese Expeditionary Force is focused on the central cluster and has no energy to take into account the two wings, you should make plans as soon as possible to rescue the 27th and 30th Army."

"Kimura, I'll ask you for this matter." After Umezu Mijiro finished speaking, he collapsed into the chair again, and he grew ten years older. He continued, "Next, you will be the command of the entire Burmese condemnation army."

Kimura Hitaro frowned and said, "Great General, what about you?"

"Am I?" Umezu Mijiro smiled miserably.
