In accordance with the above decision, the headquarters of the special forces in Myanmar is located in Lamao. After the troops arrived in Lamao, they negotiated with the British side and submitted to the British side a report on the number of patrol troops to be deployed, the number of escort troops, and many other matters, and they were not allowed to act on their own in accordance with the regulations of the British side. According to the British side's regulations, Chinese troops can only operate along the transportation lines, and are not allowed to go deep and indulge without authorization. It took two days of tossing and turning for all the negotiations to be settled.

During this period, Tao Yong's negotiations with the British side also took two days, because the British side was responsible for the rest of their journey, and everyone had to take photos to build up their identity files. On this day, at Lamao Station, Mu Shixiong saw off Tao Yong and others. "Brother Tao, don't say goodbye, I wish you a smooth journey. I hope to meet you at the port of China when I see you again. "Brother Mu, don't worry, I won't let you down!." Both sides hug. The train started slowly, Mu Shixiong's vision was a little blurred, and in the vast sea ahead, a fleet seemed to be setting off.

The words were divided into two ends, and Hao Yi led a special operations team of 30 people to stay in this section of the road with the most complicated terrain. Mu Shixiong left Hao Yi here for the purpose of active defense and active search for the enemy, rather than passively waiting for the enemy to attack. In the evening of that day, several military tents appeared in the woods on the road. At this time, Hao Yi and the team leader were discussing. "Regiment Commander, according to the information provided by the guide, we have analyzed that the enemy may be hiding in these five cottages in the southeast, which should be roughly this range."

Hao Yi glanced at the military counterpart and said: "Immediately send a reconnaissance team to find out the situation of these five cottages under the leadership of the guide." The commander called, the British were only allowed to move along the road, not deep inland, so we must destroy this enemy as soon as possible before the British knew it. "Commander, I will personally lead the reconnaissance team to set off tonight." "Your reconnaissance team carries a radio station, and calls as soon as they find out about the situation!" "Yes!" After nightfall, the detachment leader led the reconnaissance team and the guide and disappeared into the dense forest.

A small cottage by the mountains and rivers, the scenery is very beautiful. The unique stilted buildings of the cottage are scattered and distributed, highlighting the unique charm of the exotic. Inside a building on stilts. A short, slightly chubby guy with a cloth wrapped around his head and wearing a Burmese costume had a gloomy face and said to his two subordinates: "The Chinese army suddenly sent troops into Burma for the purpose of strengthening the security of the transportation line. The Chinese army suddenly sent a strong force to guard the transport line, indicating that they were to transport important military supplies, or weapons and ammunition. ”

The person who spoke was called Yokoji Takeda, an agent of the Southern Intelligence Bureau, the base camp of the Japanese army. He led two of his subordinates to entangle more than 20 outlaws in northern Burma and launched an attack on this section of the Burmese transportation line in Burma. In six months, they successfully carried out 12 raids, blew up more than 20 trucks, and attacked 8 mule and horse convoys. And get a lot of loot. Yokoji Takeda and two of his subordinates, carrying a radio station, have been operating very smoothly for half a year.

But today's operation failed. The reason why the Burmese gave them their lives was that they were given weapons and money, and second, the loot of the robbery was completely owned by the Burmese, and the latter naturally aroused the enthusiasm of the Burmese people. "Team leader, yesterday thanks to our familiarity with the terrain and fast running, this branch of the army is different and seems to be professionally trained." One of his subordinates was apprehensive. "I called back from the peak, there was a new deployment at the base camp, and I was asked to go to Mandalay. During this period, you should not act rashly, but be more careful. "Understood!"

When the Japanese special industry was negotiating, the guide led the team leader to this cottage. At this time, the detachment leader held a telescope to observe the cottage, which was quiet, and there were no clues on the surface. The first 4 cottages did not find anything suspicious, this is the last one. If there is no situation in this cottage, then the enemy must be hiding in the wilderness, and if the enemy hides in the wilderness to find it, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack. There was a slight noise from the side, and two soldiers flashed out.

"Captain, what do you think this is?" A soldier handed over an empty green tin can. White English letters were printed on the empty can, and the detachment leader's eyes lit up and hurriedly took the empty can to check it. "Squad leader, the identity of this cottage is closed, and there must be a problem with foreigners' canned food. This kind of canned food is available for the military supplies transported, and I have seen this kind of canned food in Ruili. The detachment leader said decisively: "Send a report to the regiment commander immediately, find out where the enemy is hiding, and ask for support!" ”

That night, Hao Yi led the detachment to the west side of the cottage. "What's new?" As soon as I met, Hao Yi asked. The detachment leader said: "Regiment commander, this afternoon we detained a mountain man who was hunting. According to the description of the mountain people, a group of outsiders did come to the cottage. The strangers had guns in their hands. He also said that the foreigners are very friendly and often give them the things of the foreigners. It is now completely confirmed that the attackers were this group of strangers. ”

"Have you figured out the exact location?" "I figured it out, according to the mountain people's confession, the number of this group of outsiders is 28. The foreigners live in two stilted buildings in the south of the cottage, two of which are adjacent to each other, one of which houses 25 people and the other houses 3 people. Judging by this, the stilted building where the three people live must be their heads, and it may also be a Japanese spy! "Very well, it's not appropriate to move when it's dark, we have to catch it all and start the action at dawn tomorrow."

That night, Yokoji Takeda, accompanied by a guide, went to Mandalay to escape the disaster. At dawn, under the guidance of the mountain people, Hao Yi led a special detachment to surround the two stilted buildings, and then launched an operation ・・・・・・. The battle was negligible, and the special forces dealt with these little thieves with their hands in hand, and the Burmese were captured almost in their sleep. However, two Japanese agents reacted quickly, and they smashed the radio station and resisted stubbornly.

The battle ended in less than half an hour, and Hao Yi went up to the stilted building to see the smashed radio station, the burned cipher code, and the bodies of two Japanese agents, and felt a little helpless. "Report to the head of the group, after interrogation, these Burmese are indeed the attackers, their leader is called Yokoji Takeda, and the real identity of the Burmese is not clear. Yokoji Takeda left the cottage abruptly last night, and his whereabouts are unknown. "It is now completely confirmed that Japanese agents have launched an operation in Burma and immediately escorted the Burmese to Lashio!"

The next day, in the courtyard of the British army garrison in Lashio, 25 Burmese squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, their eyes showing despair. The bodies of two Japanese agents and the smashed radio station were exposed to public view. British Major Davis, who stood up and looked at his fat body, then gave the order: Shoot these Burmese traitors immediately. Without waiting for Mu Shixiong to stop him, the British soldiers stepped forward to execute on the spot. In a chaotic burst of gunfire, 25 Burmese fell in pools of blood.

Major Davis, the supreme commander of the British army in Lashio, had every authority to execute the Burmese. "General Mu, thank you for your shocking attack. I'm relieved that your ministry will be in charge of guarding the transportation line. Davis smiled, and his attitude changed drastically, inviting Mu Shixiong into the room to talk. After entering the house, Davis poured red wine into the glass and said, "General Mu, come and toast to our sincere cooperation!" "Clinking glasses is a Western etiquette to express their hearts, and Mu Shixiong is just hospitable.

"Major Davis, as far as I know, your government and the Nationalist government are in Chongqing to hold consultations, and a preliminary consensus has been reached on the Sino-British joint defense of the Yunnan-Burma Highway and the Sino-British military alliance, and the progress is going well. I think that in light of this, you and I should be one step ahead. Major Davis is a smart guy and should know what I mean. Moreover, this strangulation of the Japanese sabotage is completely the result of the cooperation of your ministry! ”

"General Mu is a friend enough, I understand what you mean. In return, I can facilitate your ministry within the scope of my authority. Mu Shixiong hinted that the credit for the strangulation of Japanese agents and Burmese traitors was entirely Davis's doing. Mu Shixiong continued: "In September last year, the French governors of Vietnam, Jean and Degu, surrendered to the Japanese army, and in order to retain their position as governor, they joined forces with the Japanese army. Vietnam was occupied by the Japanese army, and Myanmar was in danger. Thailand remains neutral, and the next step of the Japanese army will definitely be to attack Burma, the signs are clear. ”

"General Mu is very strategic, and you are right, which is exactly what the British Empire fears. At present, we are fighting Germany with all our might, and we have no time to pay attention to Indochina, especially Burma, which is why we have entered into a military alliance with your country, we have common interests, and your government will not refuse. "Major Davis said it well, why don't we put the icing on the cake before the Sino-British military alliance comes into force. I don't think Major Davis would refuse a promotion. ”

What Mu Shixiong said is very clear, what we want is the absolute safety of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and what you want is results. "Deal, in my jurisdiction, you can take any military action, but you must let me know that I will provide the greatest convenience!" "Deal!" There was a clang, and the glasses of both sides clashed again. The purpose of giving benefits to Major Davis is to make it easier for him, because it is important.

Mu Shixiong returned to the headquarters and immediately called the chief of operations. "You see, this is a map used by Japanese agents, and every trail on the map is clearly marked. You are required to lead the operational staff to draw a detailed military map of the area east of Lashio, and the specific location, coordinates, and altitude of each river, mountain, and forest must be detailed and clear. Seeing the confused expression on the face of the Chief of Operations, Mu Shixiong couldn't explain it, because this was Ouyang Jian's request.

"Also, in the process of drawing the map, you need to be familiar with all the terrain and features of the area east of Lashio, understand?" "Understood!" "If you understand it, you will implement it, and it will be completed by the end of the year!" "Yes!"
