The severe situation made people feel overwhelmed. Souchi Seuchi shook his head helplessly, and his dry hands kept pressing and rubbing his temples, which made him feel physically and mentally exhausted:

"The Chinese on the Lashio battlefield were too fierce. They could not defend the south crossing the river. The British army was also ready to move north of Mandalay. Alas... we have lost the best opportunity to counterattack northern Myanmar."

"Hiss Commander, what are you going to do next?" Yamashita Tomoto asked quickly.

"We can only give up the Wa State area and retreat to Taung Chi and Mandalay. No matter what, we must protect central Myanmar!" The temple said firmly and firmly.

At present, the situation of all fronts of the entire Southern Army is not very good. Iida's 15th Army was directly destroyed in northern Myanmar, and the 14th Army was far away from the Philippines. The 16th and 25th Army dispatched many troops to varying degrees to the Pacific battlefield, and the rest had to defend Malaysia, Indonesia and other regions.

If Mandalay is lost again, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Myanmar, and the other party will even threaten Malaysia. This is something that is absolutely not allowed to happen.

Soichi Tezuchi thought for a while, and his gloomy eyes suddenly raised and looked at Yamashita: "Matsumoto Tomogawa's ability is really mediocre. If I hand over Mandalay to you... how sure do you have to block the Chinese?"

The temple finally made a decision, and the current situation did not allow him to hesitate too much because he had no more generals available to him.

Although the foot of the mountain is a bit reckless, compared to others, the former is still somewhat remarkable in terms of command ability.

When he heard this, Fengwen of Shanxia immediately became energetic, stood with his heels straight, and promised loudly: "Hey! I am willing to issue a military order and I must defend Mandalay, otherwise I will apologize to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Yosi, I will give the Prime Minister an explanation in the Philippines. Mandalay will ask you, Yamashita!"

"Hi!" Yamashita Tomoto was overjoyed. This time it was done. Finally, he didn't have to go to the Philippines to fight the Americans desperately.

As for the issues mentioned in the temple, he felt that it was not enough to worry about it. No matter how strong the Chinese are, they can never compare to the US military. When the time comes, they will win a few battles and see what else they have to say to those deer.

...

At the end of May... Nearly a month has passed since the Lashio counterattack. With the full support of the Americans and the British, the 88th Army was invincible and pushed the front all the way to Nanping.

The Japanese no longer had the idea of ​​continuing to fight. The 54 and 55th divisions successively withdrew from the battlefield and retreated south, while Long Weng led the 200th Division and the Third Regiment to chase each other.

The mobile troops composed of Greyhound armored vehicles are really like hunting dogs in the jungle. They are extremely fast and have strong firepower. They can always take the lead in the enemy to reach their position and launch a sudden attack, raising and chasing them with their butts.

After being beaten a few times, the unwilling Japanese devils set up an ambush circle and waited for the enemy to come up again, but they ignored the other party's air power.

After the assault vehicle troops were ambushed, they immediately contacted the rear command and ordered to go directly to the aviation team. With the powerful firepower of the armored vehicles, they were not afraid even when facing the encirclement.

Andre's pirate formations were hovering over the nearby sky, and immediately flew to the positions of both sides of the war after receiving the order.

After throwing a few napalm bombs down, the Japanese's attitude improved a lot in an instant, and they turned their heads and ran away without saying a word.

On the other hand, Chen Jize's strong attack on the Nandu River Bridge was also very smooth. The Japanese position on the south bank collapsed in less than two days under the attack of aircraft and cannons. First and second main forces quickly crossed and rushed south.

The 49th Division of the Japanese army collapsed and fled from the battlefield in a panic. At this time, Long Weng, in the southeast, called the third main force to attack the Nanduhe area, and immediately hit the Japanese seven inches.
