Chapter 181: Revenge

Li Mi knew that even if it was just such a symbolic counterattack, the result could only be a loss of troops, and no results would be achieved at all. However, this battle must still be fought, otherwise he will have no reason to apply for funds, arms, and other assistance from Taiwan, and if he does not obey the chairman's orders, then the chairman will most likely send another person to replace him, and it doesn't matter if he sends someone else, but if he sends Li Guohui back again, it will be troublesome. Moreover, another advantage of fighting a war is that it can take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents and get rid of all disobedient people by the hands of the People's Liberation Army.

Therefore, Li Mi's battle plan is actually to fight guerrillas, just go to Yunnan to hang around, if you can loot some supplies and come back, it is the best, as long as you can ensure the vitality of the force, then it will be considered a success, but he can't and won't tell anyone this kind of thing, especially the outsider Chengichi in the temple. Therefore, even if he knew that this business was not very cost-effective, he was in a hurry to send him away, and then began his own plan to counterattack Yunnan.

Li Mi's operational plan for counterattacking Yunnan was as follows: The entire army was divided into two echelons. The northern echelon was the main attacking force, led by Li Guohui, commander of the 193rd Division, and left Mengsa on March 18 and secretly moved northward, asking to arrive near Sambang in Burma on the Yunnan-Burma border in a week to wait for news from the southern echelon; The southern echelon was a feint, and a week after setting off from Qianyun's Zhou Division, it set out from Mengsa with great fanfare, led by the army commander Lu Guoquan himself, and the target was Cheli, Fohai, Nanqiao and other places in Yunnan 100 kilometers away. Li Mi's plan was for the feint troops led by LĂź Guoquan to attract the main force of the communist army to the south, and then the Qianyun Zhou Department on the north road successfully plundered the two counties of Gengma and Cangyuan.

Although there were a few twists and turns, in any case, Terauchi Seiichi's task was almost completed, and the experience of the other Inujiro was not much better than him.

At first, Inujiro's purchase of the awakening agent went well, after all, his purchase price was much higher than the market, so many pharmacies were willing to sell the awakening agent to him privately. But it didn't take long for the number of people to grab goods from him gradually increased, especially the Yamaguchi group, which has been making a lot of noise recently, and it was his biggest opponent.

The early Japanese underworld. For example, the "Black Dragon Society", "Xuanyang Society", etc., are all legally registered institutions, but they make a living from crime. What's more. Their criminal activities are needed by the Japanese government and the Japanese military. One of the most important tasks of these underworld at that time was to collect intelligence and act as spies.

But after the war, Japan was occupied by the U.S. military because it was a defeated country in World War II. And many of Japan's old mafias were involved in the act of war. As a result, some mafia leaders were also tried after the war. The old triad organizations that contributed to the war were ordered to disband during the US occupation. Thus, the "Yamaguchi-gumi" was given a huge historical opportunity.

When the Yamaguchi-gumi were founded, they were just a small gang organization that mainly made a living in the port of Kobe. During World War II, many members of other larger, established triad organizations were conscripted into the army, or the triad directly participated in and cooperated with the military's operations. However, the head of the "Yamaguchi-gumi" was in prison at that time for murder. Evaded conscription. When he was released from prison, Japan was defeated. The old-fashioned mafia that had been involved in the war was too notorious to survive, but the inconspicuous "Yamaguchi-gumi" had little to do with the war and were nothing more than local hooligans and criminal gangs, so they did not receive much attention. At the same time, other reasons in post-war Japan also led to the rapid rise of the "Yamaguchi-gumi".

Japan was defeated. The history of Korea and Taiwan as Japanese colonies also came to an end. Prior to this, there were quite a few Koreans living in Japan, who had suffered unfair colonial treatment. After Japan's defeat in World War II, gangs of Korean expatriates flexed their muscles in Japan. There is a posture of revenge. In post-World War II Japan, the police were limited, and the U.S. occupation forces were not interested or able to deal with these troubles. The Korean gangs are only one of the troubles of public order, and there are many contradictions in Japanese society after the defeat of World War II, and the Japanese police are unable to maintain public order in an all-round way. At that time. The Japanese police took the initiative to approach the "Yamaguchi-gumi" and seek help from the "Yamaguchi-gumi", especially in dealing with the provocations of the North Korean gangs. At that time, there were rumors that the North Korean gang was going to attack the police station, and the police were not manpowered, so they transferred the "Yamaguchi-gumi" and gave them guns and ammunition to prepare for a big fight. Later, the North Korean gang did not want to fight hard, and this bloody battle did not appear. However, on other occasions, the "Yamaguchi-gumi", who had disguised law enforcement powers, clashed with the North Korean gang several times, and eventually the two sides shook hands and made peace. This was also the beginning of the cooperation between the "Yamaguchi-gumi" and the Japanese police.

Not only did the Japanese government support the "Yamaguchi-gumi", but the American occupation forces also needed the "Yamaguchi-gumi". After the outbreak of the Korean War, Kobe became an important distribution center for war materials for the U.S. military. Due to wartime needs, the United States had a lot of loading and unloading work in the ports, and most of the dock workers were supporters of the Japanese Communist Party, so the "Yamaguchi-gumi" appeared again. At this time, they actively cooperated with the US military, mobilized their own gang forces, ensured the efficient operation of the port and wharf, and supported the US military's war in Korea, which was affirmed by the US military. As a result, after the general trend of Japan's old underworld has gone, the once unknown "Yamaguchi-gumi" has sprung up and finally become the largest "violent gang" in Japan, and it is a legal organization.

Therefore, the current Yamaguchi-gumi is strong and ambitious, and he is no longer satisfied with just staying in Kobe, and this time he is taking advantage of the opportunity to establish an awakening agent market to radiate his power to major cities across the country.

And there is another reason why the Yamaguchi-gumi targeted Inujiro, and that is Kodama Yushio. Seriously speaking, the development of the Yamaguchi-gumi is also inseparable from him, when the third-generation leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Kazuo Tatsuyo, escaped from prison with the amnesty of the Japanese emperor, the entire Yamaguchi-gumi had only more than 30 members, and it was in the most difficult period of ups and downs that it was Kodama Yushio who helped to match the bridge between the Yamaguchi-gumi and the US military, which made the Yamaguchi-gumi develop again.

Previously, due to the attack on Matsuda Yoshiko, Tang Ning forcibly kicked out Kodama Yushifu, which made his reputation plummet, so this time when Kodama learned that Tang Ning's subordinate Inujiro was buying awakening potions at a high price, and the Yamaguchi-gumi had recently intended to expand his power, he retaliated and provoked the Yamaguchi-gumi to block Inujiro's acquisition.
