Afterwards, when Kimura Hyotaro recalled this battle, he said: "Many people think that this battle was my command, so that the imperial army successfully stopped the Chinese army in Bago for a while, but only I know it, and this is actually not my credit, because at that time the troops were out of control, and the only thing I could command was the guard troops around me!" It's hard to believe that they, who are not under command, have repelled the attacks of the Chinese again and again! ”

Then, the situation deteriorated further as the transport planes brought supplies and reinforcements to the airfield, and the Japanese artillery rained shells on the airfield just after the transport planes landed...... This made the airport a chaotic situation, the transport planes that had just landed did not have time to put down their cargo in a hurry and took off again urgently, some transport planes were unfortunately hit by shells and were quickly blown to pieces, and the runway was also bombed by artillery fire and was not suitable for airborne, several transport planes ventured to land, and the reinforcements of the 50th Army on it almost jumped off the plane and went into the battlefield.

The artillery of the new 1st Division also sounded, and the artillery of the Chinese army wanted to suppress the Japanese artillery, but what made the Chinese artillery a little helpless was that the Japanese artillery was irregular, and the artillery suppression did not have much effect.

However, the Yankee pilots were also a little bold, and in this case, their transport planes landed at the airport one after another, bringing reinforcements to the airport and letting them go.

The reinforcements were from the 149th Regiment of the 50th Army, and they took over the defense of the airfield as soon as they got off the plane, and then Chen Shanguo transferred the new regiment to the direction of the city to prepare for an attack on the Japanese defense line.

"Here's the thing!" Wang Mazi convened a few cadres for a short meeting before the attack, and Wang Mazi said while writing the map: "The main force of the devil is here...... There is also an unknown number of people in the city of Bago. This time we have to deal with the devils are very cunning, one of them disguised as Burmese infiltrated the Burma in the city, according to the experience of the friendly army in the previous attacks, most of them suffered the loss of the devils mixed with the people. Let's figure it out! ”

The commander of the engineer battalion couldn't help but gasp when he heard this, and said: "The devil's trick is really bad, we can't shoot at the people like the devil, so ...... You have to always be on guard against devils coming from behind! ”

"Can you take a detour?" The tank battalion commander asked.

"The highway goes straight through Bagu Town...... Wang Mazi replied: "It's not impossible to take a detour." But tanks and the like can't get by! ”

"A detour is not an option!" Zhang Chi said: "Now there are Burmese people everywhere in and out of the city, even if we take a detour, we will also be plotted by devils!" ”

"That's right!" The tank battalion commander nodded helplessly.

Then there was silence around them, and after a long time, the engineer battalion commander sighed and said, "Tuanza, I see...... We can't fight this battle, and if we want to fight it, we will have to wait until dawn, and then we will drive all the Burmese people, whether real or fake, to the rear. In this way, you can let go of your hands and feet and fight with the devil! ”

What the engineer battalion commander said still has some truth, if you don't move all the people in the town out. In any case, the Chinese army will fall into passivity.

But here's the problem......

"Wait for dawn?" Wang Mazi replied angrily: "The devil's reinforcements have arrived before dawn, so it's a fart!" ”

As soon as Wang Mazi said this, the cadres were silent again.

"Tuanza!" After thinking about it, Zhang Chi said, "Otherwise...... Let's impose martial law! ”

"What kind of martial law?" Wang Mazi couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhang Chi pointed to the map of Bago and said: "We only need to pass through Bago from the main road in the middle, in order to prevent the devils from taking advantage of it, we can use bulldozers to seal the street connected to this main road, and no one is allowed to approach the main road, otherwise the bullet will not be long!" ”

"It might work!" Wang Mazi nodded: "If you don't come to be ruthless, you can't deal with it!" ”

"But......" the tank battalion commander asked, "let's only pass through one main road, isn't that a long line of snakes charging towards the devil's defense line on the other end?" Can this be done? ”

What the tank battalion commander said, of course, made sense. The taboo of the two armies on the battlefield is to rush into the enemy's defense line with a long snake formation, and to do so is undoubtedly to jump into the enemy's encirclement.

But Zhang Chi replied: "Judging from the previous friendly attack reaction, the defense of the devils outside the city is not systematic, and they do not have an obvious line of defense. To put it simply. It's just that the devil's way of fighting is to break up into pieces and scatter to fight guerrilla warfare with us. This kind of fighting can make our troops not focus on it, and no matter how we fight, we will not be able to grasp their main force, but if we concentrate our forces to break through from one point. They will be too scattered to take us! ”

The engineer battalion commander agreed: "Yes, we can't follow the devil's ass, we have to give him a hard blow!" ”

"But that's not right, is it?" The tank battalion commander said: "It's okay for us to concentrate and disperse." If you want to annihilate the devils, you have to fight separately! ”

"I didn't say I wanted to annihilate the devil!" Zhang Chi said.

"The commander of the first battalion means ......" Hearing this, the cadres couldn't help but cast puzzled glances at Zhang Chi.

"The devil is fighting guerrilla warfare with us." Zhang Chi said: "They use guerrilla tactics to buy time to wait for reinforcements, we can't play with the devils here......"

As he spoke, Zhang Chi drew a line on the map and said, "Why can't we just leave these devils and rush directly to the Boyang Highway?" If the devils are having fun here, let them continue to play, let's go to Yangon! ”

Hearing this, the cadres couldn't help but be stunned.

It was a viable approach, but they didn't think of it.

This is not to say that Wang Mazi and other officers are stupid, but the long-term combat habits make them not even dare to think about this aspect...... This is mainly due to the fact that the equipment of the Chinese army lagged behind the Japanese army in the past, so they did not dare to leave a Japanese army, even a small group of Japanese soldiers, behind them and continued to push forward, which was tantamount to exposing their backs to the Japanese army, and no unit on the domestic battlefield dared to do so.

But now it is different, the Chinese army has enough strength to compete with the Japanese army, and even the equipment and quality of the Chinese army are obviously higher than the Japanese army in front of them, but the Japanese army has used some special tactics to make the Chinese army a little weak.

So now, why can't you go over them and go straight to Rangoon?
