Chapter 595
On May 15, a week had passed since Germany surrendered. The Allies were embezzling the fruits of victory, and most of the focus was on the European land. They had no time to take care of the Asian battlefield for the time being, which also gave the Japanese some chance to breathe.
The Japanese, who were unwilling to fail, were still trying their best to mobilize troops and dispatched troops. On the battlefield of the Pacific Islands, the Japanese army would seal the exit of the bunker to ensure that there would be no deserters until the last person was fighting.
In addition to the warriors, every Japanese was also asked to be dying.
In the recent hot battle of Okinawa, as the Japanese guards were forced into the canyon at the southern end of the island, they also understood their destiny to be defeated.
Before the Japanese fought with the US military for their lives, they forced a large number of local people to jump from the cliff into the sea to "sacrifice" for Japan. This inhumane practice shocked the bystanders.
After completing the massacre of the people, the Japanese soldiers will launch a "Long Live" charge against the Allied soldiers. This indifference to life has had a great impact on the Allied forces.
In addition to encouraging the morale of the people in the country and promoting "patriotic feelings" that do not exist at all, the Japanese army also performed a play for Allied soldiers, who wanted to increase the pressure on the Allied forces to continue their attack.
Because in addition to causing casualties among Japanese soldiers, there will be a large number of innocent people buried with them.
Moreover, under the influence of 100 million slogans, the last conscription climax was set off in Japan. A large number of old, young, women and children were recruited to the front line and went to the battlefield after simple training.
There were even many underage children, including men and women. Boys were dragged to the battlefield to be used as cannon fodder, while girls were instilled with militarism and became accomplices of the war.
They were forced to undergo military training such as brainwashing and some battlefield first aid when they were about to bloom. The most inhumane thing was how to hide the grenade and approach the enemy, and die with the enemy after the sound.
The Japanese also judged others by themselves. They have created too many debts to the people of various countries, especially women, during the invasion. It is conceivable what kind of treatment their own citizens will be when the enemy's army set foot on their homeland one day.
So instead of letting your national women become playthings under others' crotch, it is better to let them contribute some strength in resistance.
These people unfortunately became victims of the Japanese war of aggression, but not all of them deserve sympathy. To this day, a large number of Japanese citizens still devoted all their support to their so-called jihad.
The invaders are not distinguished from men, women, age, because the bullets shot from children are as deadly as those shot from soldiers.
The Japanese army's resolute attitude did cause some trouble to the Allies. The 100 million jade crushing plan is essentially to curb the Japanese territory to increase the cost of the Allies' offensive.
The US military did fall into a hard battle in a series of island battles, and the large number of casualties and the affected civilians also put the Allies in a dilemma.
In order to resolve the Japanese issue as soon as possible, the Allied forces changed their combat methods. They no longer sought to land from the Pacific Ocean, but instead sent a large number of bomber formations to bomb large Japanese cities, including Tokyo.
This led to the destruction of a large number of houses and the displacement of countless Japanese civilians, which greatly hit their fighting will. The 100 million jade-breaking plan began to shake, and the remarks of surrender in Japan rose again, but this was not enough to shake the high-pressure rule of the Japanese military government.
Seeing that conventional means are difficult to pry open the Japanese national gates, even if they succeed, the price is immeasurable. So the Americans began to build black technology because their Manhattan plan was about to succeed, and perhaps it would not take long for Japan to taste it.
But this is all a story. At this time, the Japanese were just thinking about how to escape unscathed in southern Myanmar. After all, the troops of tens of thousands of people cannot be left there.
At present, in the Expeditionary Force, the central army composed of the Honorary Third Division and the Armored Brigade of the Heavy Artillery Brigade has captured Yongsheng, an important city in central Yangon.
The vanguard of the 200th Division and the 50th Division on the right side stood firm in the Donggua area. The subsequent main forces also successively captured several northeastern towns such as Sikyan and Gawa, and successfully met with Longwen's troops in the town of Nakisin, 50 kilometers away from Yangon in early May.
Now the three divisions of the Expeditionary Force, two independent brigades and some reinforcements have formed an encirclement of Yangon. Except for the weak blockade in the west, the other directions are as solid as ever.
After the two armies successfully met, Liao Mingyu originally wanted to appoint Long Weng as the deputy commander-in-chief of the front line and fully mobilize all offensive troops in Yangon.
However, there are hidden dangers to do this. Chen Jize and Li Liansheng are both fine. They have always been under Long Wen's command and are both old subordinates, so there is nothing to say.
The difficulty lies in the 200th Division and the 50th Division. Both division commanders are experienced in the army, especially Gao Xijiang, who is very angry, will not talk about whether he is convinced or not, nor will he have much interaction with Long Wen. If the latter cannot suppress the scene at that time, it will be difficult to deal with some hypocritical situations.
There is no way, as the troops develop faster, there are more people, and mountain doctrine will inevitably appear. There is not much time to eliminate these hidden dangers now, and it is entirely up to Liao Mingyu's own prestige to suppress them.
In order to avoid those arrogant generals causing trouble, Liao Mingyu finally decided to go to the front line to command the attack on Yangon.
The Heihe base is left to Fan Shaozeng for management. I think this smiling Buddha should not have any problems in managing local government affairs.
In addition to considering the command issues, he did not want to miss this great opportunity to hit or even wipe out tens of thousands of Japanese troops.
Liao Mingyu, who arrived at the front line, did not immediately order an attack. In fact, when the war hit this point, all the troops suffered considerable losses, and the soldiers were also a little tired and were war-weary.
Currently, compared with the new army fighting fiercely in Irrawaddy Province, Yangon is surprisingly calm. Apart from continuing to maintain a high-intensity blockade, there are no other offensive actions.
The Japanese now want the expeditionary army to launch a strong attack, and they are not afraid of even fighting street battles, because tens of thousands of people fighting at the same time can maximize their advantages in the city, and can effectively avoid being bombarded and bombarded by the enemy, further shortening the gap in firepower between the two sides.
After all, Yangon is a strategic location and has been run by the Japanese for several years. Its city is not small in size. It is very difficult to invade it in a short time under the defense of tens of thousands of Japanese troops.
