Start as a young leader, grow bigger and stronger, and create more glory

In Xu's army, deducting military pay is not allowed as a punishment, and military orders cannot be used to punish or execute soldiers easily, because even in a machine gun division, the soldiers are elites, not to mention the armored divisions, air force, navy, etc. If one dies, there is one less, and it will be too troublesome to replenish them.

Xu Le had long known from Jiang Feng that Liu Quanhua wanted to help him establish military prestige, but in the Xu family army, many things could not be done according to common sense!

In order not to disappoint Liu Quanhua, he took the opportunity to get rid of him not long ago.

However, because of this difference, the people of Xu's army valued the equipment in their hands too much. Because if they want to have a better life and get more money and material rewards, they must rely on equipment.

Otherwise, without the equipment advantage, all the military merits would be snatched away by other troops, and you would only be able to get the minimum monthly military pay, and you would be embarrassed to go out and see people.

All the soldiers of Xu's army now know that every household of the old soldiers in the Acropolis has built a Western-style house and has become a local rich man.

Even the second batch of Pu County veterans and the troops under Dai Ming and Lu Biao, most of them had accumulated medals and hundreds of dollars. They were frequent visitors to the Logistics Department, and they were treated to sums of money at every turn!

Therefore, Xu Le's punishment of confiscating equipment was equivalent to destroying the soldiers' future and face.

Among the soldiers who can fight the Japanese on the front line, how many are afraid of death?

What they feared was loss of face, not being able to hold their heads up in front of their brothers, and returning home in the future to tell their fellow villagers that they had only killed one enemy, while their brothers and friendly forces had killed an average of 10.

Sure enough, An Jiehui frowned after hearing what Xu Le said.

15 days is neither long nor short.

Although they had a large number of jeeps to help, they had two regiments of new recruits, and most of them had not even completed basic shooting training.

In addition, the terrain in northern Myanmar is complex, and there are many places that jeeps cannot enter. If the Japanese engage in jungle warfare, it will be a bit troublesome.

"Don't worry, Marshal. I will complete the mission. I will let them know that my machine gunners are not made of silver!"

The machine gun division has been changed to be the same as the Meidongshan Guard Brigade and is directly under the headquarters. Xu Le's direct orders to it do not count as bypassing the level of command.

Moreover, the machine gunner is not only equipped with machine guns, but also fully equipped with automatic rifles, pistols, and Type 42 grenades.

Each machine gun regiment has three machine gun battalions, plus a mortar company and a Type 3 anti-aircraft machine gun company. Its firepower damage is not as strong as that of other divisions, but its firepower density is definitely the highest.

"Well, I'm very optimistic about you. If your idea is feasible, I plan to expand it into a military-level unit in the future!"

After returning to Mandalay, Xu Le spent another 100 million to add 1000 jeeps and 1000 light and heavy trucks.

The plan for a comprehensive attack on Myanmar jointly formulated by Fang Yue, Wei Li and Zhu Xiaoping has also come up with a plan, waiting for all members of Guo Tietie's 2nd Army to arrive!

A great war was about to begin, and dark clouds stretching for hundreds of miles gradually enveloped the area around Mandalay.

......

On the Japanese side, the army suffered heavy losses north of Mandalay, with 30 troops lost. A number of high-ranking Japanese army officers were extremely furious.

In addition, Xu Le's actions caused a huge loss of resources, which made them even more furious, especially Terauchi Hisaichi. The headquarters blamed him for the main responsibility.

Another point is that Japan had recently increased its allocation of resources to the army, which had already caused complaints from naval generals.

Now that this had happened, the army, led by Army Minister Hideki Tojo, was humiliated by the ridicule of Navy Minister Shimataro Shimada and Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet Isoroku Yamamoto.

So, at the suggestion of Emperor Showa, Hideki Tojo and Sugi Sanmoto developed an emergency counterattack plan.

The Burma Front Army was reorganized, with Terauchi Hisaichi serving as the commander-in-chief concurrently.

原下辖的第5、6、16、18、38、55、56、112等师团，或被全歼，或被俘虏，总之是没有留着的必要了，于是将这些师团的番号撤销。

The original 9th ​​Flying Division only had one-third of its aircraft left, but after replenishment it was restored to full strength!

在从大唐、本土和太平洋地区抽调部队补充后，新缅甸方面军下辖：第19、20、34、101、106等5个师团；以及独立混成17、20、22旅团；战车第4、6、7师团；外加飞行第9、12、13师团，以及多个炮兵联队！

It is mainly distributed in southern Myanmar and Thailand.

至于在英帕尔的第2、4、42师团和独立混成21、29旅团，以及第9飞行师团，则是被踢出了缅甸方面军行列，和锡兰岛的部队新编为印度方面军。

The organizational information of these troops naturally came from Keiko Yamaguchi, and the more detailed deployment was unknown.

But Keiko Yamaguchi emphasized one point, that whether it was infantry, tanks, or the air force, they had all been specially adjusted to specifically fight against Xu's army.

"There's something wrong with the organization of the Japanese's new Burma Front Army!" Fang Yue was the first to raise questions upon hearing the news.

Wei Li also said: "It is indeed wrong. The total strength of the Burmese Army once exceeded 30, including many elite troops, but we defeated them all. The total strength of several divisions and brigades today is only 15. Counting the rest of the troops, there are at most 20 troops.

It is impossible that the Japs don't know our strength, but they still use fewer troops to fight us. This can only mean that the Japs have undergone special adjustments internally and must have made changes to their weapons and equipment! "

Xu Le also nodded. The current organization of the Japanese invaders had completely deviated from the track of the previous life, which made him a little confused.

"The Japanese know that they cannot fight us head-on with their infantry, so they put their main forces on the tank division and the aviation division, with three of each. If we calculate according to the previous organization, we will have more than 3 tanks and more than 1500 aircraft of various models!"

"Moreover, I dare to conclude that the main models of their tanks will not be the Type 95 and Type 97 that we have seen in the past. The fighter jets of the air force may be mainly the Condor, and it is very likely that there will be fighter jets stronger than the Condor!"

Fang Yue raised his head and looked at Xu Le: "Why do you say that, Marshal? According to the records of the Japanese's deployment in various battlefields, apart from the Shenying fighter, there are no other new tanks and aircraft!"

Wei Li gave Fang Yue a meaningful look and said, "Before our bombers bombed Chiba County, we had never seen the Condor fighter jets anywhere else!"

"I understand!" Fang Yue suddenly realized: "The new equipment developed by the Japanese specifically to deal with us is only to create surprise during combat, so as to achieve the effect of shooting down our bombers like Chiba did!"

"Yes, the confidentiality is very good, otherwise even Yamaguchi Keiko wouldn't be able to find out! But no matter what, we still have to be prepared. The Japanese want to use the coordination of air force and tanks to fight."

Guo Tietie, who had been silent until now, said: "I will send the 2th Armored Regiment and the 4th Self-propelled Artillery Regiment of the 8nd Armored Division to the 'Sanwen' area in the south of Mandalay to assist the 176th Division in garrisoning! Two mechanized infantry regiments will also be transferred to Lashio for security!"

"Okay, the other three divisions of your 2nd Army will serve as second-line troops. Once a war breaks out, they will be ready to provide support at any time!" Deputy Chief of General Staff Wei Li issued the order.

Now, due to the changes in the Japanese tactics, the previously formulated combat plan needs to be corrected.

It was already mid-November. Just when Xu Le was thinking about whether to update his tanks to deal with the Japanese's unknown tanks, something unexpected happened.

In the early morning of November 11, the North China Front Army in Shanxi Province mobilized more than 16 troops and nearly 10 puppet troops to launch a new round of mopping-up operations against guerrillas in North China.

Under the guidance of hundreds of artillery fire, the North China Army suddenly launched more than 500 tanks in the Xinkou area and launched a fierce attack on the 3rd Armored Division which had just taken over the defense.

Under the leadership of the 4th Cavalry Brigade of the Japanese Army, the 3rd Division and the 7th Division of Shijiazhuang launched an attack on Niangzi Pass.

In northern Henan and southwestern Hebei, the 13th Division and the 28th Division, in the form of regiments and battalions, launched a fierce attack on the Second War Zone in southeastern Shanxi from multiple routes.

The number of bombers and fighter jets deployed exceeded 300!
