Chapter 592: Leave a way back
Zhou Lin believed that Ang would say this, and he was quite reluctant to Ershen Mountain.
This place is not bad for the base camp that the Independence Army now occupies.
After all this, Zhou Lin drove back to Mandalay along the road.
Now in Myanmar, there is no one to ask for trouble to kill Zhou Lin.
When passing by the mine last time, Zhou Lin turned around and took a look, and found that there were more people occupying the mine again, and there were more than 80 people in this group.
They are serious miners, they also have their own armament, and they are not weakly armed.
Seeing Zhou Lin, they were all very vigilant, suspecting that Zhou Lin was here to explore intelligence.
Zhou Lin took out his documents and shook them, and those people let Zhou Lin and his party leave with confidence.
On the road behind, there was no trouble, and Zhou Lin walked smoothly.
When they arrived at Zhou Lin's home in Mandalay, Zhou Lin immediately ordered Li Shibai and them to carefully inspect the inside and outside of the house and found three bugging devices.
These were installed by those people a few months ago, and Zhou Lin asked Li Shibai to search within the effective range of the eavesdropper, looking for the person who was listening.
Not to mention, Li 18 also found a place, two people who were listening.
These two people also came by train when Zhou Lin left Yangon this time.
They have a listening room here, so they use it, and they want to eavesdrop on something useful to them, so that they can target Zhou Lin.
After asking, Zhou Lin asked Li Shibai to deal with the two of them.
Zhou Lin knew that the hatred with the Prince's Mansion could never be resolved.
Several princes died, as well as relatives in the prince's mansion, and they now wanted to eat Zhou Lin's flesh and drink Zhou Lin's blood in order to eliminate their hatred.
And Zhou Lin is not afraid of them, if there is any move, he will send it, and the master will take it.
After removing the listening system, Zhou Lin's house was safe again.
Dai Li looked inside and outside the house, in front of the house and behind the house, and said, "This house has good feng shui and is beneficial for people to live in." Moreover, it is safe, easy to find and attack, easy to defend and difficult to attack. ”
Zhou Lin said proudly: "Of course, you don't look at whose eyes it is." ”
Dai Li asked Zhou Lin to bury a bunch of keys in the ground outside the house.
Zhou Lin's heart moved: "You don't want to occupy my house, do you?" Take the money. ”
Dai Li said with a sad face: "I was thinking that one day in the future, I will follow in your footsteps and be abandoned by the old man, so I will come to this place to settle down." ”
Zhou Lin patted Dai Li's shoulder and said, "This place is too close to China, it's not safe, he wants to kill you, and you still can't escape." ”
After speaking, Zhou Lin took out a nautical chart, pointed to a point and said: "Twenty miles away from Zhoujia Island, there is an island that can live for 5,000 people, I have already bought it, and I will give it to you, who wants us to have a good relationship." ”
Dai put away the map with a dot on it.
Next, Zhou Lin asked Li 18 to take Dai Li's stand-in to make the gold tooth.
After making the gold tooth, Dai Li's stand-in was sent by Wu Yonglin to the Sino-Burmese border, entered Yunnan, and returned to Chongqing from Yunnan.
Dai Li, on the other hand, accompanied Zhou Lin to Yangon, and Zhou Lin asked Li Shibai to escort him to Singapore, from Singapore to Zhoujia Island.
Dai Li stayed on Zhoujia Island for a day, met Fang Long, asked about the situation, and then went to see the island that Zhou Lin gave him.
After seeing the island, he sent a telegram to Zhou Lin: "Very satisfied, thank you!" ”
Dai Li, then, flew from Singapore to Changsha.
Five days later, Dai Li reported to Zhou Lin that he had returned to Chongqing.
After Zhou Lin returned to Yangon, he went to report the situation to Yamada.
"You mean, it's not the Chinese Expeditionary Force on Ershen Mountain, but the people of the Independent Army?"
It's hard for Yamada to believe how the Independence Army left its lair and occupied Nishen Mountain?
Zhou Lin said: "They arranged 3,000 people on Ershen Mountain. Since the last time the Chinese Expeditionary Force was exterminated, I gave all the weapons of the Chinese soldiers to the Independence Army, so their equipment was very strong, so that people outside thought that it was the Chinese Expeditionary Force. ”
Yamada did not speak, but called the commander of the front army and reported the situation, but the people of the front army did not believe it, so they ordered the gendarmerie in Mandalay to go to a squadron of Japanese troops to rush to Nigamiyama to check.
When the gendarmerie in Mandalay saw Aang on Ershen Mountain, he learned that Ershen Mountain had been taken by the Independence Army.
So Shaozo reported to his superiors, and soon Yamada received a call from the commander of the front army: "Zhou Lin is telling the truth, Ershenshan is already on Ang." ”
This matter came to an end, and the Japanese knew that it was the independent army that occupied Ershen Mountain, and their hearts were much more stable, after all, Ang still welcomed the imperial army.
In this way, Zhou Lin returned to the Yangon pier and began his life of playing chess and drinking tea.
And the Prince's Mansion's action against Zhou Lin was halted because there was no one to support it.
Zhoujia Island is still a closed island, and agents who have been captured on the island have infiltrated several times, among these people, there are princes' mansions, and there are other forces.
Half a year has passed, and it has entered 1944.
After the defeat in the previous Burma campaign, part of the Chinese expeditionary force retreated into British India. Under the guidance of Stilwell, chief of staff of the Chinese Theater of Operations, he was trained and reorganized at the Ramgarh training camp, and in August 1943, it was reorganized into the Chinese Army in India.
At the same time, in view of the importance of Burma, China actively planned a counteroffensive against Burma, reorganized and reorganized the second batch of expeditionary forces in western Yunnan, and set up the headquarters of the commander of the Chinese expeditionary force in February 1943, ready to coordinate with the British and American forces to counterattack Burma.
In October 1943, in order to cooperate with the war situation in the Chinese battlefield and the Pacific region, the Chinese army stationed in India formulated an operational plan for counterattacking northern Burma, codenamed "Annajim", to ensure the opening of the China-India Highway (Kunming, China-Lido, India) and the laying of oil pipelines.
It is planned to start from the Indo-Burmese border town of Lido, cross the Indo-Burmese border, first occupy the area east of the Tanai River such as Xinpingyang, and establish an offensive starting position and logistics supply base.
Then, he climbed the cross-country mountains, broke through the Hukang River Valley and the Menggong River Valley with powerful firepower and outflanking tactics, seized Myitkyina, a key place in northern Myanmar, and finally connected to the Yunnan-Burma Highway in Yunnan.
In accordance with this plan, the Chinese troops stationed in India began to operate.
On January 3, 1944, the China-India Highway was opened to traffic to Xinpingyang, and all the New 38th Division of the Chinese Army in India and the 65th Regiment of the New 22nd Division arrived at the same time.
Stilwell's headquarters and forward base also advanced to this point.
Stilwell and Sun Liren personally went to the Yubang position to congratulate the officers and soldiers who conquered Yubang and presented them with medals and awards.
At the same time, the new 38th Division was ordered to attack Taibaijia on the left, the 65th Regiment to attack Taluo on the right, and the 65th Regiment to use the forest to cover the south bank of the Danai River and advance along the road, so that the enemy could be taken by surprise, and then detour back behind the enemy in the Baizhi River to surround the Japanese army.
After fierce fighting, on January 25, more than 700 people of the Japanese Okada Brigade were annihilated, the captain of the brigade Okada Nakazo committed suicide by jumping into the river, 670 corpses, more than 20 people were captured, and the 65th Regiment captured 2 rapid-fire guns, 4 pursuit guns, 8 heavy machine guns, and more than 500 light machine guns and rifles.
