Chapter 1447: Counterattack
Luo Youlun strictly followed Wang Yan's instructions and took the wounded back to the western front to pick up the troops.
Because Wang Yan had already pulled away the entire Burmese battlefield, the journey back was relatively safe. The Japanese army had shrunk its front line and had retreated a long distance.
The troops dispatched from China this time were not new recruits, but some troops from the rear were directly transferred here, which would be much faster. Therefore, Luo Yulun only had a short window of time to withdraw troops from the Western Front.
During this window period, Wang Yan took targeted actions to attract attention, thus eliminating the window period of insufficient troops on the Western Front.
Luo Youlun finally got the military power, but he didn't do anything to cause trouble. He had seen how powerful Wang Yan was when he was with him. From training, to leading troops, from fighting, to thinking, from tactics and strategy to conflicts between two soldiers, he handled everything in an orderly manner.
He saw more than 4,000 new recruits go from being strangers to Wang Yan, to respecting him, and now being his die-hard loyal followers.
When Wang Yan talked to his brothers, he never told them not to be afraid of death, but to be not reckless and to save their lives. He always emphasized that death must be worthwhile. His classic saying is that if a brother fails to kill three devils, he will be at a loss if he dies. The key is that he really did this with his brothers.
With a force of more than 8,000 people, including more than 4,000 new recruits, they did it. The casualty ratio was too exaggerated.
Solo Yulun led his troops honestly and, according to Wang Yan's instructions, bypassed the front line and launched an attack on Mandalay from the northwest.
At the same time, Wang Yan led his team to attack from the northeast side. All the captured cannons were pulled out and many shells were fired.
Mandalay is the capital of the last dynasty of Myanmar, the second largest city in Myanmar, and a transportation hub for its inland areas. If Wang Yan were to capture this place, the Japanese troops in the north of Mandalay would be defeated. If this really took place, then the "Battle of Mandalay" would be a key battle that would affect the direction of the war in the China-India-Myanmar region.
The Japanese army certainly had this understanding, and they wanted to cover Wang Yan with all-round artillery fire, and they attached great importance to it. So after Wang Yan's previous struggle, the Japanese army concentrated their forces to protect Mandalay. Even though Wang Yan later withdrew his troops, the Japanese army did not retreat, and continued to defend it strictly.
So even though Wang Yan bombarded Mandalay, he still failed to get in, and the casualties were not too great. The Japanese army knew that Wang Yan's guerrilla warfare was amazing, so they lined up outside Mandalay and did not pursue him even if they had superior forces. He had already learned it well.
Otherwise, they are called Japs, which means they are very cunning and crafty.
So after fighting all night, all the shells of various cannons that were captured were used up. They were all mountain cannons and howitzers, which were large in size and heavy in weight, and inconvenient to carry. They were not suitable for the guerrilla warfare tactics used by Wang Yan. He couldn't take them away, so he simply used them together to bombard the Japanese.
Even if the casualties were small, dense artillery fire for several hours could still cause hundreds of casualties.
After running out of shells and blowing up the cannons, Wang Yan followed the original plan and divided his troops into two groups and marched south before daybreak, once again trying to rescue the Allied troops who had been trapped in western and central Burma.
These foreign devils are really disappointing. Their forces are basically equal, but they are beaten by the Japanese. The Pacific War has been going on for a year, and Wang Yan has clearly felt the weakness of the Japanese army compared to when he first arrived in Burma.
This is a problem of the entire system. The soldiers' training is not in place, the officers' command is not in place, and the logistics supply begins to have problems. All these combined have caused the Japanese army to start to go downhill little by little...
Wang Yan led the team for half a month and arrived at the destination. He contacted the Allied forces that had been beaten and launched a two-pronged attack, making the Japanese army attacked from both sides.
Not to mention that it was Wang Yan who led the army. Even if it was not him, there was someone who could directly lead the troops to advance alone in the siege of the Japanese army. The addition of more than 10,000 troops to the tense battlefield was crucial to the changes on the battlefield here.
After all, on this battlefield, both the Allied forces and the Japanese army have more than 20,000 troops.
Even if the Japanese troops in Mandalay knew of Wang Yan's movements and had already informed us of the information, the Japanese troops here were already on guard.
However, in the face of the actual disparity in military strength, it is useless to be on guard, not to mention that Wang Yan is commanding the battle.
Not surprisingly, the situation here has changed significantly.
During the one month since the arrival of Japanese reinforcements, hundreds of battles of varying sizes broke out here. Wang Yan took command of the area with his strong command ability.
Of course, there was no official status. It was just that at the beginning, Wang Yan provided the Allied forces with locations and asked them to attack. Often the Allied forces did not obey, resulting in missed opportunities, or because they did not move, they were attacked by the Japanese army, causing certain casualties.
Gradually, the commander there acted according to Wang Yan's suggestions. He sent people to fight wherever Wang Yan said, and he deployed troops in whatever way Wang Yan asked him to deploy troops.
Wang Yan believed that the Allied commander must be very happy.
Because there was no conflict of interest between them, all the credit went to the foreign commander, who became a famous general of England. Just by fighting here, he was able to return home safely, and this life was worth it.
It was precisely because of the cooperation of the foreign commander that Wang Yan was able to take charge of the overall situation of the battlefield and coordinate the troops. In addition, the Allies had superior forces and were not short of tanks and artillery. The overall situation was that the combined forces of the Allies and the expeditionary force represented by Wang Yan defeated the Japanese army.
When the Japanese army was on the verge of collapse, Wang Yan sent Allied troops to rescue the group in the south, defeating the Japanese army in the south and allowing the Allied forces south of Mandalay to gather together.
The fighting over the past month was very intense, and roughly speaking, the Japanese casualties were at least 4,000. This was the number of troops counted by Wang Yan.
The casualties caused by the Allied forces were likely even greater, and in the end, this wave killed more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers.
This was still Wang Yan's restrained fighting. He mainly played a role of containment, not letting his brothers fight desperately. The desperate work was given to the soldiers of the Allied Forces, and he found opportunities to fight more people against fewer.
In general, the purpose of this battle is to revitalize the battlefield in Myanmar, reduce the number of deaths of our own people, and retain our strength. If we have to die, it will be the foreigners who die.
This battle also shattered the Japanese army's original plan. Although they increased their troops, when the new troops arrived at the local area, they took further calculations and found that they did not increase the number of troops too much.
At the same time, the Japanese army was in a more passive situation. This time, they were really attacked from both sides. The Japanese army in northern Myanmar was attacked from both sides. The Allied forces also began to advance eastward in southern Myanmar to expand their victory, cut off Japan's land supply, and completely trapped the Japanese army inland.
The situation this time was different from the last time. The large-scale rout had shaken the morale of the Japanese army, which had a significant impact. It was extremely difficult to turn the situation around. Especially since the Allies were still cutting off the Japanese army's supplies, the morale was shaken even more.
Their combat quality was already declining, and now faced with this crisis, the three people at the riverside who had just arrived were about to explode.
Why do I have to take the blame as soon as I arrive?
Wang Yan finally got a rare chance to relax during the war, and his brothers also got a chance to rest.
He took this opportunity to reorganize his subordinates once again, incorporating the more than 4,000 people previously led by Luo Youlun into his own team.
Of course, there aren't so many people now. After all, it's a war, and they can't be the only ones killing the Japanese. There are also casualties among themselves, just not that many.
At present, the troops under Wang Yan's direct leadership, including those who are still alive, are more than 11,000 people, and there are more than 100 seriously injured but not dead, as well as hundreds of other injuries that affect combat effectiveness and need time to recuperate. Roughly speaking, since the second war, more than 1,000 people have died directly, and including the disabled who survived, more than 2,000. Fortunately, they were fighting with the foreign devils, and with the spoils from the little devils, the anti-inflammatory drugs that had trapped Fan La for a long time were in short supply, but not without them, and even the latest penicillin on the market, that is, penicillin.
In addition, Wang Yan personally served as a military doctor, which effectively saved many lives.
In addition, of course, there are many analgesics, much more than anti-inflammatory drugs. After all, whether it is the Japanese or the foreign devils, they all take them while doing it...
However, Wang Yan seldom lets his brothers use it unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, it is too addictive and it is not like they will die after the battle. The harm is too great and the gain does not outweigh the loss.
"Master Wang, why are we reorganizing now?" Luo Youlun really couldn't understand Wang Yan's decision. "We should expand our advantage now, chase the Japanese and attack them hard, attack from the north and south, and completely annihilate the Japanese forces in Burma!"
Wang Yan smiled and said, "Lao Luo, the brothers are exhausted. Now that we have the conditions, let's take a break. Besides, the foreign devils are fighting fiercely. The Japanese army has been badly defeated. There is no need for the brothers to continue risking their lives."
"Then we should hunt down the Japanese troops and destroy their manpower!"
"Do I have to explain it so clearly? You are a smart man, Lao Luo. You must know my situation, right? The war has been fought to this point. The foreign devils have made contributions, and you have made contributions too. Do you think I have made any contributions?"
"Of course!"
"Then who gets the credit for my work?"
"Of course, it was taken down by all of us in our expeditionary force."
Wang Yan smiled and said, "That means it has nothing to do with me."
"We have been working together for a while, and from what I understand, you are not someone who cares about these things."
"Will you compliment me?"
"To be honest," Luo Youlun said, "but let's be honest, without the Allied Forces and the Expeditionary Force, you wouldn't be able to achieve what you have today."
"Of course." Wang Yan nodded with a smile, "But on the other hand, without me and my brothers, the Allied Forces and the Expeditionary Force would still be beaten by the Japanese. In the past battles, my brothers and I played a key role and were irreplaceable. But as a leadership contribution, those with higher ranks than me have all benefited."
"Didn't you always say you wanted to kill the Japanese? Why are you making a fuss about it now?"
"The Japanese must be killed, and the future of me and my brothers must be considered."
"Raising an enemy to protect oneself?"
"How could I do such a thing? My brothers and I were just taking a rest, but we didn't aid the enemy. Don't accuse me of that. We couldn't beat the Japanese because they were incompetent."
"Will you still have to fight after that? Won't your brothers still have to die? Why not do it now, cleanly and decisively, and put an end to it all."
"Lao Luo, we should be the same age, right? You have been an official for many years, you should be able to see it." Wang Yan lit a cigarette, "This guy is a scumbag. If you treat him well, he will habitually ignore your contributions. Whatever you do is what you should do, and not doing it is wrong!
Even though he knows he is wrong, he won't admit it and still blames you. Tell me, whose fault is this?"
"They are all wrong..." Luo Youlun sighed, "At a time when the country is in crisis, they are still trying to be so mean."
"I'll just treat you as if you're talking nonsense. You're talking as if you're innocent. How can you talk to me here if you're not a scoundrel?" Wang Yan's disdain was written on his face. "Okay, I've said everything I need to say, and my meaning has been clearly conveyed. Don't make trouble with me. Just do what you need to do."
Luo Youlun left helplessly. He wanted to say that Wang Yan was wrong, but he himself was not right either. After all, he came here to hinder Wang Yan, but he was suppressed forcefully...
At this time, he thought of a phrase: the winner takes it all, and whoever wins is right.
Obviously, at present, Wang Yan is right.
"This guy is not a good guy." The veterinarian listened to the whole thing, walked over and snorted unhappily, "He speaks so lightly, but he is not the one who died or was injured!"
"The old man sees it clearly. He is only concerned about himself. He doesn't care about other people's lives."
"It's up to you."
"I didn't care. We have more than 30 old brothers, but now there are only about 20 left..."
"That's because they are enjoying themselves, and we are the only ones left to fight the war. But I feel that if we fight for a few more years, the Japanese will be driven away, and the brothers who are still alive will enjoy themselves. It's hard to say whether we are making a profit or a loss."
"It's all good. It's not a bad thing to suffer less."
"I don't understand what you said, old man."
"Old man, people change. Why did those emperors who conquered the world in ancient times kill their brothers after they came to power? The brothers had great power, were dishonest, and were too greedy. Without a common goal, everyone would rebel, and that would be like killing the dog after the rabbit is dead."
"You are so arrogant that you think you are the emperor." The veterinarian laughed, and then he smoked the cigarette improperly and started coughing again.
"Old man, when we fight back to the rear, you should go back to Zenda. Don't bother anymore. We don't need you anymore. There's no news from your two sons. They must have been killed by the Japanese. I'll find you a wife in Zenda. Try your best to have another child and enjoy your good life."
"What are you talking about? Can I still have a baby?"
The veterinarian stared at Wang Yan, scolded him, and sighed, "I also know that my son will not survive, but in this war, people will die. If you die, you die. This is how life is..."
I would like to thank the good brothers who give rewards, vote for monthly tickets, recommend tickets, and read books silently for their strong support!
