In Yangon City, in the war room of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Headquarters, Ito and Kawashima, no one spoke again, it was already the morning of November 21, and the brilliant autumn sun outside the house seemed to have nothing to do with the two of them, only boundless cold and fear, seeping into their bones.

Kawashima is quite normal, he has already guessed Tang Qiuli's intentions, anyway, he has already made it clear, it doesn't matter, Ito is different, all along, what he is proud of is originally given by his opponent, and he can live until now, it is because people disdain to take his own life, how can he bear it in his heart?

Insult, **naked insult, from northern Myanmar to Yangon, that devil has been insulting himself, insulting a dignified general of the Japanese Empire, Ito's face was red and white, his eyes were fierce for a while, and blurred for a while, he didn't doubt Kawashima's words now, in the more than 20 days of surrounding Yangon, if Tang Qiuli wanted to do it, he and more than 200,000 subordinates would die a few times.

"Mercy? Open the net? "Speaking of it, Ito himself doesn't believe it, Tang Qiuli's cruelty and ferocity to the imperial troops, from the northeast to Burma, that time was merciful? How many famous generals and soldiers of the empire died in his hands, so Ito judged that the reason why Tang Qiuli did this must be a huge conspiracy in it, but what is this conspiracy? Ito couldn't tell.

I knew it was a conspiracy, but I didn't know what the conspiracy was, which was enough to make people crazy and confused, Ito was in such a state now, he asked the chief of staff, Major General Kawashima, again, "Kawashima-kun, if that's the case, what should we do?" ”

Kawashima said: "Abandon Yangon, continue to retreat south, transfer to the Malay Peninsula through Bago, and hold on to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, and in the narrow and narrow area of the Malay Peninsula, the density and thickness of troops will increase more than ten times." Even if the troops of the independent division follow the pursuit, we can block the attack step by step, and then ask the country to send a fleet to withdraw from the sea to the mainland or Taiwan. Preserve the strength of the sending army. ”

Ito jumped up and said loudly: "Chief of Staff Kawashima, your construction is very dangerous, this is an insult to the emperor's ** people, when I was ordered to hold Yangon, I had already made up my mind to let me retreat without a fight." Isn't it a disappointment to the high expectations of His Majesty the Emperor and the expectations of the people? ”

Looking at Kawashima, whose face changed and was a little frightened, Ito probably felt that his words were too heavy, softened his tone, and continued: "Kawashima-kun, today's words. That's it, only the two of us know, otherwise. The military discipline of the empire can't spare you," Ito finished speaking, leaving Kawashima, who was sincerely afraid, and walked away.

It's just that Ito didn't see it, and with his figure, disappeared into the war room, the corners of Kawashima's mouth, showing a smile, he knew. Although Commander-in-Chief Ito was impassioned, his own words had taken root in the Commander-in-Chief's heart.

He hurriedly chased after him and said to Ito: "Commander-in-chief, then, we have troops of the separate division. Is there a necessary counterattack to recapture the lost positions? ”

Ito shook his head, didn't look at Kawashima, and said: "No, strengthen the defense of the city, don't forget, our established strategy is to fight a large-scale street battle with the troops of the independent division in the Yangon room, oh, by the way, chief of staff, study the terrain around Bago, as long as you know it yourself." Kawashima's smile grew even stronger.

Yangdong, the Yangon Front-line Headquarters of the Independent Division, Le Yiqin, who drove overnight, was in good spirits and had no tiredness, and even the big victory put his spirit in an extremely excited state, and on the way to come, he was very high-spirited, sweeping a group of little devils who dared to attack, and the fight was enjoyable and exciting, and he had to calculate well to destroy the air team of a few little devils?

No wonder the old man Liu Cuigang said sourly in the telegram: "You eat meat in the south, I can't even drink soup in the north, and grass is about to grow in my idle shoes, are you a good brother?" Why don't we change it? "Le Yiqin played smoothly, at that meeting, Liu Cuigang refused, no, after resting in Myitkyina for less than three hours, the division commander urgently summoned him, and there was meat to eat!

Now, Le Yiqin stood straight in front of the division commander Tang Qiuli, just now, it was Liu Xinlan who brought him in, he finally saw Staff Officer Liu who had been dealt with many times on the phone, and when he saw it, Le Yiqin was shocked, but then he was relieved, only such a girl deserves to follow the division commander.

He was also afraid that Liu Xinlan would settle accounts with him, and he was a little nervous, but Liu Xinlan smiled at the previous things and didn't say a word, Le Yiqin had seen Mei Ting and Mei Xue, the other two wives of the teacher, and secretly compared them with Liu Xinlan, not to mention, Chunlan and Qiuju are good at winning, and it is difficult to distinguish each other.

After receiving Le Yiqin, Tang Qiuli didn't talk nonsense, and asked at the split: "Le Yiqin, can the combat radius of your bomber cover Okinawa Island?" "Le Yiqin will come when he opens his mouth" Division commander, the bomber with auxiliary fuel tanks can completely cover Okinawa Island and even the mainland of the little devils, there is no problem, if you have any orders, you can give them! ”

Tang Qiu left a selenium and said: "Why, Commander Le Da has won a few battles and has become a winning general, so he gets carried away and is invincible?" You think you're invincible, don't you? ”

Le Yiqin's old face turned red, peeked at it, and Liu Xinlan, who was snickering on the side, replied honestly: "Report to the division commander, Le Yiqin doesn't dare to be careless, I have a basis, the bomber group and the escort fighter group can take off from Shanghai Airport and cross the East China Sea, in this way, the flight range will be shortened by two-thirds, and you can also avoid the ground air defense posts of the little devils along the way." ”

Tang Qiuli didn't speak, staring at Le Yiqin, seeing that Le Yiqin was uncomfortable, his heart was furious, he didn't know his words, something was wrong there, this was the tactic he came up with on the way to the Yangdong Headquarters, and he thought about it many times, and he felt that there were no loopholes, but looking at the posture of the division commander, he seemed to be very dissatisfied.

With Liu Xinlan on the side, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter, she was even more panicked, the sweat on her face came down, and she said, "Hey, let this little girl see a joke, it's enough to lose face!" Liu Xinlan looked at this majestic and murderous major general, embarrassed like a big girl in front of her beloved man, and felt more and more interesting.

Le Yiqin himself didn't know that after several air battles in Southeast Asia, he had become a well-known figure in the independent division, those young female officers, from time to time, talked about him, and the admiration was overflowing, Liu Xinlan didn't hear a lot of admiration for him, if those little girls saw the current appearance of the big hero in their minds, they would definitely fall out of sight.

Seeing that Le Yiqin was uncomfortable, Tang Qiusheng came over to relieve the siege, "Division Commander, let Yiqin sit down and say, Yiqin, what else do you have to add, report carefully to the division commander, in order to ensure the smooth completion of the task, the more perfect, the better!" ”

Le Yiqin wiped the sweat on his head, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for several bigwigs of the independent division, Le Yiqin was only afraid of the division commander Tang Qiuli, I don't know why, standing in front of the division commander who was several years younger than himself, that kind of coercion and intimidating momentum made him nervous every time, and he didn't dare to say anything false, so he replied honestly: "Division Commander, Deputy Division Commander Tang, I just thought of this, there is nothing to add!" ”

This time, even Tang Qiusheng was happy, Liu Xinlan even covered her mouth and ran out of the door, Tang Qiuli suddenly laughed, shook his head and said: "Le Yiqin, I really convinced you, even if you follow the words of the deputy division commander, you won't be able to climb up the pole" Seeing Le Yiqin staring at the big eyes, he still didn't know why, he was really speechless.

He said: "Well, taking off from Shanghai Airport, you can achieve the purpose of surprise, the idea is very good, it proves that you have used your brains, let me ask you, when you return from the air raid, there are several factors, have you considered it?" The carrier-based planes of the First and Second Fleets of the Japanese Navy, the remnants of Taiwan's 17th Air Force, the fighters of Japan's own territory, and even the fighters of the Japanese Air Force bases on the Korean Peninsula can intercept and kill the returning bomber groups on the way. ”

The sweat on Le Yiqin's head came down again, these factors, he really didn't take into account, if it was in the past, Tang Qiuli would not have considered these factors, since the incident of the Japanese Seventh Air Force on Okinawa Island, a long-distance attack on the fleet, he deployed all combat missions, he was much more cautious, and repeatedly warned himself that the arrogant army would be defeated.

Seeing the shame on Le Yiqin's face, Tang Qiuli's heart was not happy, as far as Le Yiqin's ability and combat achievements were concerned, he absolutely admired such an air general, the first person in the independent division air force, this was the first long-distance attack on a major aviation base of the Japanese army by the Southern Flying Group, various factors must be taken into account, he did not want to have such a heavy loss as the fleet carrier-based aircraft.

At this time, Tang Yunfei's delicate and resolute face appeared in front of him, and his heart suddenly ached, two days and two nights have passed, and Yunfei has no news, which is also one of the purposes of his bombing of Okinawa, in addition, in his previous life, Okinawa Island, as one of the main air bases of the Americans in the South Pacific, took off fighter jets from time to time to show off their might along the coast of China, or deliberately provoked.

Thinking about it, Tang Qiuli was angry, so he blew up the small island with a big fart, and suddenly found that he was distracted, and then said: "As far as the air defense force of the [Ri] himself is concerned, the above situation I mentioned is very likely to occur, so your Southern Flying Group alone will not be able to ensure the safe return of the bomber group." ”

Tang Qiuli continued: "I have already telegraphed Liu Cuigang of the Northern Flight Group to mobilize six fighter regiments to work with you to complete the task of this long-distance attack on Okinawa Island. ”――
