Not to mention Patton did not expect that the Japanese in front of the Chinese and American troops did not expect that Zhang Lingfu would launch an attack as soon as he arrived. As a result, just as Zheng San of the Hebang adjusted his deployment and planned to send a new force to deal with the ace of the Chinese army, Zhang Lingfu's attack began.

"They had almost no rest, and just before they arrived at our position, they had just rushed for dozens of kilometers... They didn't even make the pre-attack deployment, they launched an attack as soon as they arrived. However, in the attack, their cooperation was very beautiful and the offensive was very fierce, which caught the Japanese off guard. Of course, the Japanese were also very difficult. After the initial setback, they immediately took advantage of the military strength to stabilize the defense line. However, the attack of the Chinese army also made it impossible for them to organize an effective offensive in a short period of time, which gave us the opportunity to rest..."

"...The battle lasted for about half a day, but it shocked me very much. I had never seen such a fierce battle on the battlefield, which was completely different from the battle between Western countries. After that, I realized that the reason why I could hold on until the reinforcements arrived was actually the Japanese who did it on purpose. They did not launch the most fierce offensive. They just wanted to use us as bait to lure the Chinese army into the Myanmar battlefield and let them come out of the solid defense line... After figuring out these, I was very injured. Really, very injured. Because I must admit the fact that after lacking the support of strong industrial power, we are indeed not as good as these Orientals... But fortunately, our industry is ahead of them for decades!"

Patton later told people about the battle like this, and repeatedly mentioned that the experience in Myanmar was the most difficult and terrifying battle in his life.

He said, "If it weren't for the timely support of the Chinese army, I might have really surrendered... Although I have always led the young men to persevere and suffered huge losses, I know that I can't lead them to death. At that time, our casualties had reached 7,000, which was a terrifying number. Nearly one-third of the casualties, I don't know how I persevered at that time... British people? Well, I admit, I was really angry at that time, but those guys should thank the Chinese. Because if I was really defeated and captured and eventually rescued from the prisoner-of-war camp, the first thing I had to do was not to use my fists, but to find them with my gun... I would take them to hell together."

...

The participation of the 58th Division represents the official entry of the Chinese army into the Myanmar battlefield. As the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Front, Hebian Zhengsan began to readjust the deployment to cope with the large-scale entry of the Chinese army. In their opinion, since all ace troops like Zhang Lingfu have arrived, what they need to face next is definitely the large-scale attack of the Chinese.

But what everyone unexpected was that the Qin Wei, who was responsible for commanding the Myanmar battle in Kunming, strictly ordered that no Chinese army be allowed to cross the border without authorization. The Japanese 15th Army, Iida Xiangjiro's troops, who were responsible for pursuing the British army, actually chased the British army to Mandalay. The advance troops rushed to the Yunnan border soon after, and received a piece of news that the entire Myanmar Front, even the entire Southern Army, and even the entire Japan were surprised: there were not many Chinese troops on the Yunnan border. In front of them, the Yunnan Production and Construction Corps without formal combat organization!

At first, Shiuichi Tekanai and others, who had been tested by Qin Wei, were a little surprised by the news. In their opinion, it was impossible for Qin Wei to make such a mistake. Although that guy was just an air force, even a soldier should know how to protect his own portal... Isn't that guy afraid that they will go straight in and occupy Yunnan?

In order to prevent it, Shouichi Deanuchi even crossed the riverside Masazo, the commander-in-chief of the Myanmar Front, directly ordered Iida Sujiro to strictly order the 15th Army not to cross the Chinese border, nor to fight with the Chinese army without authorization. At the same time, he asked Iida Sujiro to send more reconnaissance forces to detect the Chinese deployment... "We must pull out all the Chinese troops hiding in the dark"!

As a result, the Japanese army was waiting for two weeks on the Sino-Myanmar border. During this period, Yoshijiro Iida tried to send troops across the border and attack China many times, but were severely stopped by Shouichi Desouchi and Seishiro Sakagaki. During this period, the British army, led by Alexander, were finally caught up by the Japanese. The troops were quickly dispersed, and in the end, less than 10,000 British and Burmese troops successfully fled to India. At the same time, in order to prevent the British Navy from participating in the war, the Japanese Navy launched an assault on the British Navy base in Ceylon, forcing the British Navy to retreat to the Maldives Islands.

In the whole of Myanmar, the only Japanese opponents were Patton and Zhang Lingfu who were still fighting stubbornly in the area of ​​Relem! Although the Japanese were determined to eliminate these two troops, the combat effectiveness of these two troops was not weak, especially Zhang Lingfu's troops, which fought extremely fiercely. Once, they even counterattacked the front command of the Japanese 33rd Division and almost captured the division commander Shirota Sakurada. This made the Japanese angry and a little confused: What if they knocked their teeth off when they eliminated these two troops? In the two battles between Myanmar and Malaya, the Japanese army had not yet

I have suffered too much losses. If I break the "golden body" here, it seems that it is not worth the loss. After all, these two troops have been surrounded by them, and as long as I insist on siege, I will easily win. And if Zhang Lingfu, a powerful general in the Chinese battlefield, can surrender, the impact will definitely be much greater than killing him on the battlefield. In addition, there is the US army... If this "US army stationed in the Philippines" is eliminated, the Americans will definitely be united in hatred, but if they only capture these American ghosts and animals, it will seriously damage the morale of the Americans.

So, after some careful consideration, Soichi Sedori personally went to Yangon, commanding the riverside Masasa to continue to siege Patton and Zhang Lingfu, and deploying a new round of attacks...the attack on Yunnan, China.

Iida Yoshiro's 15th Army won the main attack opportunity for this battle.

Afterwards, the main force of the 15th Japanese Army, which gathered on the Sino-Myanmar border, was attacked by the Yunnan Production and Construction Corps led by Yang Jie...

************************

“Has it started?”

Since he knew that the war was about to officially begin, Chiang Kai-shek has been unable to sleep well, not eating well, and basically not thinking about food and food. Although he is already very confident in Qin Wei and believes in the abilities of Yang Jie and others, he is just worried. Because on the Sino-Myanmar border, Yoshiro Iida led four divisions. But their opponent is only a residual army of the production and construction corps... He has never fought this kind of battle in his life, so of course he is guilty.

“As planned, it should start.”

The boss was frightened and the younger brothers naturally had to follow him. He Yingqin, Chen Cheng, Zhang Zhizhong and others gathered at the Military Commission, waiting for news from the front line at all times.

"I don't know if it can be done." He Yingqin gasped, "This Qin Wei is really proud... By the way, the orders given to Guan Yudong have been sent, right?"

"I sent it out yesterday. As long as there is a problem on the front line, the 28th Army will immediately go south to support it." Zhang Zhizhong said.

"Where is Lu Han? They are responsible for the second group of attacks and must not make any mistakes." Old Jiang said suddenly.

"Lu Han would never dare to make trouble at this time, let alone this is a great opportunity to make their Yunnan Army stand out. If he doesn't know how to seize this, it will only mean that he is out of reach." Chen Cheng said.

"Send a report to the front line again to ask about Qin Wei, the war..."

"Committee!"

Old Jiang was so angry that he wanted to send someone to send a telegram to ask Qin Wei for information. At this time, Mao Qingxiang suddenly rushed in with excitement on his face:

"Good news, commissioner! Yang Jie led the armored cluster to break through the defense line of the Japanese 55th Division, and Takeuchi Hiroshi has retreated! At present, our unit is continuing to attack towards the 56th Division!"

“…”

************************

"Which mud? Armor cluster?"

After a brief shock in Chongqing, there was already a lot of joy, but just found the villa that Qin Wei lived in when he came last time in Yangon, and made it a temporary residence for him, Shouichi Seunuchi was not so happy. After receiving a telegram from the commander of the 55th Division, Takeuchi Hiroshi, he was shocked.

"How could the Chinese have armored clusters? How could this be possible-?"

"But, according to the report of the Fifty-fifth Division, the enemy had at least a thousand armored vehicles... everywhere."

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. The armored vehicles and tanks left by Temuxin are still on the front line in Shanxi. In the hands of Hu Zongnan, they will never appear in Yunnan! It is absolutely impossible!" Teraenuchi could not believe it, nor could he believe the fact he heard. Because he knew that after the continuous and high-intensity battle, the Japanese army had been a little relaxed... The British army was defeated, and there was only a farm reclamation force responsible for clearing the land. Could such a battle still not be won? Under such circumstances, he was suddenly attacked by a huge armored cluster, and the impact on the Japanese army would be extremely huge, and the blow to them would be extremely deep. But the question is, how could the Chinese suddenly have a huge armored force? The batch of armor left by the Soviets were obviously still in the north.

"Order Iida Yoshiro to organize defense immediately. Tell him that China would never have such a force. Let him use the position fortifications and take out the courage to deal with the British armored forces to drive the Chinese back and return--"

"I can't get back!"

Teruchi Nakachi ordered the front line almost frantically. Because he had already smelled the defeat of another battle, which he absolutely could not tolerate and accept. But soon, Seishiro Sakagaki's phone call arrived and informed him of another very unfortunate news:
Chapter completed!
