It's about to come down from the new book list, and the soldier hopes to get a place on the recommendation list, hoping that the brothers will support him. The soldier promised that as long as he could occupy a single position on the recommendation list, the soldier would be on the third watch.

*******

Sakurai Province stood in front of the map and looked at the British army's defensive line northwest of Pingmanna in a daze.

As the commander of the 33rd Division of the Japanese Army, he has more than 20,000 soldiers in his hands, so every step must be carefully weighed over and over again.

Although the British army was once crushed under the attack of the imperial army, it may have been because the British army was unprepared and was taken by surprise, or the British army had long been prepared to fight the Japanese army to the death on the Pingmanna line, and it may even be luring the 33rd Division to go deep into the ...... In short, the 33rd Division repelled several times the British army at such a fast speed and so easily, which made Sakurai Shozo feel a little frightened.

As a soldier, a Japanese soldier, he could not understand why the British army would flee without a fight when they had such excellent equipment and superior forces.

What if all this is an illusion?

What if it's all a scam?

What if the British just wanted to take advantage of the 33rd Division's continued pursuit to surround and annihilate the 33rd Division with superior forces?

Therefore, it is not so much that Sakurai is weighing it, but that he is hesitating: whether to wait for the friendly forces of the 55th Division and the 18th Division on the right flank to catch up, or to continue to attack the British line in one go.

Obviously, the first option is more secure.

The second option...... The British army has more than 40,000 people, and the rifles in their hands are still Enfield, and the firepower is by no means comparable to the Japanese army's 38 big covers, not to mention that the British army still has a large number of advanced tanks and heavy artillery in their hands. If you attack rashly, it is easy to be entangled by the British army alone, and at that time, the squadron in Pingmanna will be surrounded to death by only one outflank.

But let's not continue to attack, Sakurai Shozo feels a little pity......

What if the British army is still as vulnerable as before?

What if the British army formed a defensive line just to scare people?

What if the British army hadn't recovered from the rout?

If this is the case, the 33rd Division is here waiting for friendly troops to catch up, on the one hand, it is to miss the opportunity to give up an opportunity to make meritorious achievements, and on the other hand, it is to give the British troops time for them to organize defense, and then it will be difficult to fight again.

So war is sometimes a big gamble: if you win, you will not be a meritorious service; If you lose, you will not only lose your life, but also leave an infamy.

Just when Sakurai couldn't decide, a Burmese hurried in as soon as a report came in from outside the door.

When Sakurai Province heard the voice, he knew that it was the 1st Division of the Burmese Independent Volunteer Army.

Although Sakurai was a little impatient in his heart, he still stood up with a smile and greeted politely.

On the one hand, this is because the Burmese people still have the value of use at this time, and on the other hand, because this Dalai is still worthy of respect.

After more than a month of contact, Sakurai knew that this Talai was a brave warrior, and the reason why he spared no effort to help the imperial army was not because he was afraid of death or greedy for vanity, but because he really believed that the Japanese army had come to liberate Burma and help the Burmese people become independent.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General!" Dalai saluted Sakurai and reported in stiff Japanese: "I have a piece of information to report to His Excellency the Lieutenant General!" ”

"Please!" Sakurai nodded slightly.

"That's right!" Dalai walked to the map, looked for a while, and then pointed to a place and said, "Here, Ren Anqiang." I got the news that the British 7th Armoured Brigade had withdrawn here! ”

"Oh!" Sakurai's eyes couldn't help but light up.

If this information is true, on the one hand, it determines the location of the British Seventh Armored Brigade, and on the other hand, it also exposes the intentions of the British army...... Withdrawing the armored troops to the second line before the war began, it was obvious that they were preparing to flee without intention.

"Is this news true?" Sakurai Province asked three questions.

"This ...... Seven points to be believed! Dalai was also unsure: "This information came from one of my subordinates, who was captured by the squadron and heard the conversation between the Chinese soldiers and the British soldiers in Pingmanna. And he added that the British had been reluctant to supply the Chinese. ”

"Hmm!" Sakurai nodded.

He had also heard about the British refusing to supply the Chinese from Japanese plainclothes, and Sakurai did not understand why the British did that. Are you reluctant to give up those supplies and gasoline? If you are not reluctant, why are you captured in batches along the way when the Japanese army attacked?

It's no wonder that Sakurai doesn't understand that the Japanese are sometimes a tendon in their heads, and of course they can't figure it out about the British's behavior of "preferring jackals to friends over friends."

"Do you want to ...... Shall I send some people to Ringanqiang to reconnoitre? Dalai asked.

"Do you have anyone near Ringanqiang?" Sakurai asked.

"Yes!" Dalai nodded, but a trace of embarrassment quickly appeared on his face: "But if you want to connect, it's ......"

Although Talai didn't say anything further, Sakurai still understood what he meant: the Burmese Independence Volunteers can be said to be everywhere, and if necessary, they can find Burmese people in any village. But the problem is that the Myanmar Independence Volunteer Army has limited radio stations, and most of them are distributed in important cities such as Yangon and Mandalay, and the small city of Ringanqiang naturally does not exist.

If there is no radio station, then you need to contact the nearby radio station, and then rely on the correspondent to convey the instructions, and in the same way, after getting the news, you have to send the news back in this way, which is only afraid that it will be delayed for several days.

These few days may not be a lot for ordinary people, but for a war, a few minutes or even seconds can change the outcome, let alone a few days.

Thinking of this, Sakurai shook his head and said, "No need! ”

After a pause, Sakurai pointed to the map and asked, "From us, is there a path to bypass the British defense line to reach Ringanqiang?" ”

"Yes!" Dalai was obviously well prepared, and without thinking, he pointed to the map and said: "There is a village called Nam Ho in the west, where there is a path through the jungle that goes straight to five kilometers south of Ringanqiang, and if you force a march, you can reach it in one day and one night!" ”

"Good!" Sakurai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and he was still hesitating whether to fight or not just now, so he made up his mind at this time.

"Dalaijun, you go and prepare!" Sakurai Shosan ordered: "Your troops will lead a wing of the Imperial Army directly into Ren'anqiang and cut off the rear route of the British army. ”

"Yes!"

"Dalai-kun!" Sakurai patted Talai on the shoulder and encouraged: "With the struggle of you and me, Myanmar's independence is just around the corner!" Let's work hard for the establishment of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere and for the freedom of Myanmar! ”

"Yes!" Dalai saluted Sakurai with dignity, his eyes full of joy and longing.
