The commander of the Yamada Kiyoshi Division, who was in a mess, no longer had his former charm. His soldiers carried him to run south for several kilometers, and finally escaped from the encirclement of the Chinese.

But there were only a few soldiers around him, and there were only a few dozen people who were counting carefully. They were all covered in dirt and were embarrassed, as if they had lost their three souls and seven spirits, and they looked dazed and confused.

Yamada Kiichi was already desperate. At least two-thirds of the Fifth Division were surrounded by Chinese people. There were only a handful of people who could escape. The most important thing was that there were still pursuers behind and were chased and beaten along the way.

There were countless soldiers dead, and the entire Fifth Division was completely finished.

After the 50th Division and the 200th Division joined forces, some people remained to encircle and suppress the trapped Japanese troops. The rest began to pursue the Japanese who fled in a hurry, and at the same time prepared to take down Taungchi in one go, completely cutting off the opponent's retreat.

This extremely urgent battle made Feng Wen almost faint on the spot at the foot of the mountain far away in Mandalay. If something went wrong with Taungra, Mandalay would be completely surrounded by the Chinese and would never have a day to turn over. It was a matter of time before it was broken.

At this moment, the Fourth Division, which had been silent and bubbled, suddenly jumped out. They set up ambush on all the main roads and came to wait for the 50th Division who was pursuing them.

As soon as the two sides contacted, the Fourth Division caused considerable trouble to the Fifty Division with its cold landmines and steady attacks. Many underprepared soldiers died under the sneak attack and ambush of the Japanese.

The loss from the front line was so angry that the division commander Gao Xijiang was furious. He immediately ordered the troops to concentrate their troops and lead the team himself, and was about to fight to the death with the Japanese.

But the Japanese in Osaka are very smart and are not greedy after taking advantage of the situation. They immediately turn around and fight and retreat while fighting. At the same time, they gather the defeated troops of the Fifth Division and stabilize the situation on the battlefield again.

Although the people under his command are not inconsistent, they are still quite successful at critical moments. The commander of the Fourth Division, Masaro Masao, can finally be proud this time. Now he is like a savior, actively leading his army to block the enemy and gather the remaining troops.

He actively reported the situation to the superiors and explained why he had been wandering around. It was because he had long seen through the tricks of the Chinese people and did not step into the trap.

Of course, the headquarters knew what the other party was doing, but due to the current situation, it had to agree and support his behavior, and ordered them to continue to defend against Taung Chi and repel the attacks of the Chinese.

However, the Osaka soldiers have always been slick. They know that they will definitely suffer losses if they fight head-on with the current Chinese army. If they take advantage of the situation, they will stop when they are better. They will not be able to do a business that loses money.

So the troops of the Fourth Division began to withdraw from the battlefield in an orderly manner. When Gao Xijiang and Gao Ji people came to take the main force to prepare for a decisive battle, they were already missing.

In fact, most people in the Fourth Division do not want to fight against the Chinese. After all, from the perspective of the entire battle situation, they are already at a disadvantage, and there will be no reinforcements. Staying here will only follow the footsteps of the Fifth Division.

It is better to return to the Taung Chi area and rely on layers of terrain fortifications to slow down the enemy's offensive to advance south.

Although the actual situation is indeed the case, there are always some people who are not clear-headed and unwilling to admit it. Many soldiers of the Fifth Division even believe that these behaviors are manifestations of cowards. If the Fourth Division had not shrunk and delayed the opportunity to fight, they would have

It would not end in a crushing defeat, including Lieutenant General Yamada Kiyoichi who survived from death.

After returning to Taung-chi, he immediately sent a telegram to the Mandalay Command and the Base Camp, first outlining the entire battle process, admitting his faults and helplessness, and then accusing the cowardly behavior of the red deer with a deep hatred.

However, Yamada knew very well that after suffering such a serious failure, he could not be immune to it. The best outcome after returning to China was to go to the military court and die, and he could still retain some dignity and make his family in China live a better life.

Then, the senior Japanese officer took a shower and changed his clothes on a quiet night and chose to end his life with a short knife. A few days later, the Fifth Division he cared about had to cancel the organization because of excessive losses in the army, and the rest

More than 3,000 soldiers were temporarily incorporated into the 4th Division's combat sequence.

At this point, the Fifth Division, which committed numerous crimes in China and was known as the "Steel Army" of Japan, was finally completely defeated by the Chinese and eventually destroyed in the long river of history.

In the Japanese Mandalay Defense Zone, the harsh air raid sirens had already sounded, and the ground was full of soldiers running around. The fire snakes spurted out from the anti-aircraft guns intertwined in the sky, and the whistling of countless fighter planes even resounded through the sky.

The US bomber formation has begun to launch endless bombings on the city of Mandalay, and more than a dozen tons of aviation bombs are thrown on the Japanese's head every day.

In view of the situation in front of him, Yamashita Fengfu had to move the command center into an air-raid shelter and live a gopher-like life every day. In the following days, the battle situation on both sides, which were originally in a evenly matched battle, was a turbulent battle.

Go straight down,

First, in the Kyaose Plain, the Yinlun troops, which were originally highly anticipated, were almost wiped out. Then the Fifth Division was unable to be surrounded and was defeated. Taung-jee was in danger, but had to rely on the least favored Fourth Division.

Stabilize the situation.

The attack frequency of the front-line honorary third teacher has become increasingly higher in the past two days. From the initial feint attack, it gradually transformed into a real attack battle with real swords and guns. The terrifying shelling has never stopped. The Japanese army could only struggle to support it but did not.

A way to open up the situation.

Just as Fengwen was in a state of confusion at the foot of the mountain, another bad news came to Mandalay - the Chinese army that killed its Silver Wheel troops on the Jiaose Plain actually appeared in the lower reaches of the Irrawaddy River.

They took only two days to cross more than 300 kilometers. When the Japanese scouts discovered that the other side had already crossed the river, the black troops continued to advance south at an extremely fast speed.

Because Fengwen of the Yamashita placed the large troops on the upper defense line of the Irrawaddy River, the troops behind were empty, and the armored brigade roared past and entered a deserted land. Lian Keshijie, Ximikon, Jiujiang and other Japanese strongholds were completely cut off

The connection between Mandalay and southern Myanmar.

This is not over. After controlling the downstream areas, Chen Jize once again led his troops south, and his troops pointed directly at Mitela, the second important city in central Myanmar!

This place belongs to the Japanese army's logistics hoarding point in central Myanmar and is also an extremely important military location. If it is taken down, it will not only cut off the retreat of the Japanese army in Mandalay, but also use its materials to supplement its own consumption. It can be said that it will kill two birds with one stone.

On the third day, the Armored Brigade did not delay at all. Except for the maintenance personnel and some wounded soldiers who dealt with the faulty vehicles, the rest continued to move forward, and were about to take down Mitela before the Japanese could react.

When the news came back to the Japanese army, the entire Japanese army was shocked, and Fengwen of Yamashita stood there even more. Unexpectedly, the Chinese actually came to intersperse for a long distance and directly rushed to their rear.
