In Yangon in October, when the sun was rising, it was still very hot, and Lieutenant General Takemoto, who was hiding in the British residence and enjoying the ceiling fan, was still sweating on his face. This guy who was appointed by the base camp as the commander of the Burmese Dispatch Army was reading the information just sent by the Special High Division, since the Thunder entered Burma to fight, the Sixth Division was completely annihilated, the remnants of the 55th Division surrendered, the remnants of the 22nd Division and the 56th Division fled back to Yangon, and the 18th Division, which had always been pinned on by Takemoto, had also been surrounded by the Thunder Regiment in Taunggyi, and this information from the Special High Division was about the 18th Division.

The 18th Division, which also suffered heavy losses, did not have a good time, the division commander Mutaguchi Lian also fell ill with malaria, more than 10,000 soldiers of the 18th Division are now under the control of Chief of Staff Suzuki Jiro, the lack of food and medicine makes the 18th Division sick every day, if the sending army can no longer find a way to rescue, maybe the 18th Division will be completely removed from the sequence of the imperial army.

"Yaga, Mutaguchi Ryoya, this idiot is our command of the troops? How could you be surrounded and killed in Taunggyi by the Thunder's troops? Takemoto yelled at the air in annoyance, but losing his temper can't solve the problem. More than 10,000 soldiers of the 18th Division were surrounded in Taunggyi, and there were only the remnants of the 22nd Division and the 56th Division in Yangon.

Is it necessary to transfer back the 31st Division of Ringanqiang back to Yangon? This thought had just flashed into his mind, and Takemoto immediately dispelled it. The 31st Division is heading for the Ringanqiang oil field, and the empire needs more war resources, and now transferring back the 30th Division may disrupt the arrangements of the base camp, but if the 31st Division is not transferred back to Yangon, Wu Ben is afraid that the troops going south will be coming to Yangon.

Takemoto only cared about the arrangement of the base camp, but completely forgot the geographical location of Taunggyi, and the Thunder, who had already occupied Donghu, could occupy Bei Miao as long as he moved his troops westward. Once the battle was humbled by the thunder, the 31st Division of the Japanese army operating on the front line of Ren'anqiang could be cut off even if the retreat route was cut off, and the thunder only needed to encircle Ren'anqiang, and the 31st Division could be worn to death.

"General, urgent mail from the front" Takemoto's adjutant hurried into his office, holding a large envelope sealed with fire paint in his hand. In front of Takemoto, the adjutant opened the envelope, and a stack of photos fell out of the envelope, "Nani? This seems to be the head of the Takeuchi Wide Division? There is also Wing Captain Ohara "Takemoto's adjutant was stunned by the people in the photo, the envelope contained all the photos of the officers of the 55th Division who had surrendered to the thunder, the division commander Takeuchi Kan had the most photos, and the shaved head of Takeuchi Kuan was wearing a Burmese black homespun trouser gown with a haggard face, and the whole person looked more than ten years old.

The photos in the envelope are more of a record of the surrender of the officers of the 55th Division holding their command swords, and the thunderous mercenaries in the photos are majestic, which is just in contrast to the officers of the 55th Division with a haggard and indifferent face.

"General, there is another letter here, which is indicated to you" The adjutant pulled out a letter from the photographs piled up on the table, and on the cover of the envelope was written in Japanese the words General Takemoto personally opened. The cautious adjutant walked to the window with the envelope, held it up and looked at the sunlight for a long time, and after making sure that it was not a trap, he handed the envelope to Takemoto.

"General Takemoto, your army is vulnerable, since the thunder crossed the river, all battles have been won, and the sixth division, known as Kumamoto, has been completely annihilated by my thunder, and the 55th division has also taken the initiative to ask me to surrender with thunder. Now the 18th Division of your army is under siege by our army, and after our army has completely annihilated the 18th Division, it will soon go south to Yangon, hoping that Wu Benjun will be ready to be captured by my thunder" Wu Ben read the content of the letter word by word with a blue face, this is simply a war letter, full of wanton sarcasm.

"Zhao Zhi" Wu Ben almost gritted his teeth and read out the letter at the end, "Baga, this damn Zhao Zhi, actually dares to use a letter to humiliate me, it's really damn, damn it" The two exquisite jade ornaments placed on the table were vigorously swept to the ground by Wu Ben, and the sound of the jade breaking made the angry Wu Ben regain some reason a little. The battle plan of the base camp against the Thunder has failed, and there are now less than 50,000 Japanese troops in the entire territory of Burma, and the 33rd Division, which was supposed to land in Burma, suddenly diverted to Indonesia, and Takemoto now suddenly finds himself as if he does not have the strength to fight the Thunder.

"General, it's another urgent letter sent back from the front" The adjutant who went back and forth entered Takemoto's office with another urgent letter in his hand, this time there was only a letter in the envelope and no photos, which made Takemoto's heart feel better. Takemoto's lieutenant carefully checked the envelope as usual, and after making sure that it was just an ordinary letter, the letter was handed over to Takemoto's hands.

"General Takemoto, Burma is a British colony, the European campaign has ended, the new British government has surrendered to Germany, and issued a statement that all British colonies overseas will also surrender to Germany. Thunder's entry into Burma was hired by the German government to govern Burma on its behalf, and the Japanese army's entry into Burma was already an attitude of declaring war on Germany. I now inform you that all Japanese forces in Burma should be withdrawn within one week, otherwise we shall regard the beginning of a formal declaration of war by the Japanese army against Germany, at which time we will carry out a major attack on Rangoon, where you are staying, and hereby inform you that "

Wu Ben was about to collapse, and the reason for the thunder was very good, Britain had surrendered to Germany, and the British colonies should indeed be taken over by Germany, and the Japanese army entered Burma so rashly to take over the territory of the British army, in a sense, it was indeed provoking the power of Germany. The alliance between Japan and the British government-in-exile was only private, and they did not dare to say it in front of Germany, because Japan and the United States were fighting fiercely, and if there was a German army in the middle of this, Japan would definitely not be able to bear it.

After careful consideration, Thunder's threatening letter and notification letter were sent back to the Japanese base camp in Tokyo by telegram in their original form, and in order to ensure the authenticity of the letter, Takemoto did not change a word. Zhao Zhi's name first appeared in the ears of the high-level of the Japanese army base camp, or because of the first loss of Zhangwu County, and then Zhao Zhi's name appeared in the Japanese army base camp gradually increased the number of times, until Zhao Zhi led the troops to cross the Nu River into Burma to fight, and his name was once again regarded as a flood beast by the Japanese army base camp.

"Talk to him, as long as the Thunder releases back the 18th Division and the 55th Division that have surrendered under their siege, you can consider withdrawing all the imperial forces in Burma" The attitude and reaction of the Japanese base camp was surprisingly fast, and there was a reply within four hours of Takemoto's telegram. The Japanese base camp was a compromise made in the absence of a way, the British who were cowering in Australia were too weak, and most of the warships supporting the Japanese naval fleet were about to be decommissioned, and if they could not fight with the US Navy a few times, they would become targets that would only lag behind, and with the increasing strength of the Japanese army and the strength of the thunder, the Japanese base camp planned to temporarily abandon Burma.

Takemoto was not a pioneer in the territory, and after receiving the order from the base camp, he had no choice but to appoint a Dazuo officer to go to Donghu with his own handwritten letter, preparing to meet Zhao Zhi to discuss the withdrawal of the Japanese army. "Sir, how do you know that the little devil will definitely send someone to talk to us?" Looking at the Japanese officer who had just been sent from Donghu by the infiltrator troops from a distance, Yan Wudao, who had a bearded face, smiled a little arrogantly, and he could force the Japanese to come to peace talks with his side, and his own husband was bullish enough.

"There is news from the United States, the US Navy will soon have three aircraft carriers to be launched, and the Japanese fleet is now fighting less and less, as long as they lose the opportunity to control the sea, the war in South Asia will be controlled by the US military" Zhao Zhi, who was holding a cigar, also smiled, "We bite the Japanese army in Burma, they can only keep mobilizing troops to fight us here, but they can't beat us, so they have to give up Burma, and by the way, they can sell it to us."

After three days of haggling, the delegates sent by Takemoto from Yangon stayed in Mandalay, and after some bargaining, Zhao Zhi promised to let go of the 18th Division's retreat south, allowing them to return safely to Yangon and wait for the evacuation from Burma. The 31st Division of the Japanese Army in Ringanqiang also retreated south to Rangoon from now on, and after the 18th Division and the 31st Division left Burma, Thunder released the Japanese prisoners of war who had been captured by them. However, at the end of the armistice withdrawal agreement, Zhao Zhi also added a clause that all Japanese troops withdrawing from Burma must lay down their weapons, because these weapons will be left to Thunder as war compensation.

The Japanese army base camp did not want to agree to Zhao Zhi's condition, but now the leading power is in the hands of Zhao Zhi, and the officer sent by Takemoto also elaborated on the deployment of Thunder's troops in Mandalay after returning to Yangon, and the hundreds of European-style chariots alone are enough for the Burmese Japanese army to drink a pot, not to mention that Thunder is now forming a Burmese mercenary army with a size of 150,000 people. Once the Thunder turned around and continued to move south, the Japanese base camp had no other way to fight the Thunder than to continue to mobilize troops from the South Asian battlefield to aid Burma.

"Sir, are we really going to let these little devils leave Burma alive?" Looking at the Japanese soldiers who boarded the truck empty-handed, several mercenaries with burning eyes asked Zhao Zhi angrily, this time in Burma to fight, there were also a lot of casualties among the mercenary troops, watching the Japanese army escape with such a swagger, naturally some people could not accept it.

"The armistice and withdrawal agreement between us and the Japanese army only says that we allow the Japanese army to leave Burma empty-handed, Burma is still a long way away from Japan, and if something happens to the Japanese army at sea, it is estimated that it will not be able to complain about our thunder, right?" Zhao Zhi showed a weird smile, which made the mercenaries around him feel cold, and secretly muttered that his boss was too insidious.
