The expeditionary force responded to Aung San's request for a meeting. In order to show his sincerity, Sun Liren, commander of the expeditionary force, was going to hold a secret meeting with Tonggu and Aung San. When the news came back, Aung San could not hide his excitement and sent someone to reply that he would have a secret meeting with Tonggu in two days.

Before the meeting, Wu Teng Win had already sent someone to communicate with Zhang Qifu and the others, and the preliminary intention had been reached, and some specific important issues still needed to be discussed in detail after Aung San and Sun Liren met.

As soon as he had finished giving these orders, the guards came to report that "Watanabe Takayuki Osaku of the Southern Agency has arrived, and he has brought a team of soldiers. ”

"And brought a team of Japanese soldiers?" Aung San was shocked, Wu Dengwen on the side glanced at him, and then stepped forward vigilantly and said: "Could it be ......" He wanted to say if the secret talk was leaked?

Aung San understood, "Don't worry, let's go out and greet you." ”

When Aung San and U Thein Win came downstairs, they saw that in the hall of the building, Takayuki Watanabe of the Southern Organ was standing there with his * carrying, and behind him was a group of Japanese soldiers wearing Japanese training uniforms and carrying rifles.

"Watanabe Daisa, what wind blew you here? It's a long way off. Aung San stepped forward happily and pretended to be nothing.

Watanabe held the saber with a serious face, and Wu Dengwen next to him had already put his hand on the pistol box on his waist, if the matter was really revealed, it would be a matter of fighting.

Watanabe didn't notice this detail of Wu Tengwin's action, he walked forward quickly and said to Aung San seriously: "General Aung San, may I ask why you didn't take action for a long time in the last time?" ”

When he asked this question, Aung San sighed in his heart, it seems that it is not a matter of secret talk, as long as it is not this matter, then it is easy to say anything.

"Watanabe Daisa, I don't know what you're talking about?" Aung San asked with an innocent expression.

The cool breeze brought by the tireless spinning of several ceiling fans overhead did not make people feel comfortable, on the contrary, Aung San and U Thein Win were already sweating on their backs.

Watanabe Takayuki swallowed the "Yaga" on the side of his mouth again, and he changed his tone of hatred to iron: "General Aung San, how can you be so forgetful? Have you forgotten the destruction of the Chinese army in the Tonggu region that I talked to you about last time? ”

Aung San then remembered that Watanabe Takayuki had told him about the expeditionary force's mass work in Tonggu, and that they had gathered the people's hearts well, so Watanabe suggested that a small team disguised as an expeditionary force should be burned and looted, so as to achieve the problem of destroying the credibility of the expeditionary force among the local people in Burma.

"Ahh In fact, I don't want to hide from Watanabe Daisa, I have already sent someone to start planning. As he spoke, Aung San turned his head and glanced at Wu Tengwin, who immediately understood.

"This is the commander of the 1st Division of the Burmese Independence Army and an important staff officer of our Independence Army, General U Teng Win. He is specifically responsible for this matter. With that, Aung San introduced U Teng Win to Takayuki Watanabe.

Wu Tengwen knew some Japanese, and Aung San had indeed mentioned these things to him before, so he said: "Watanabe Daisa, I have already begun to prepare for this matter, and the personnel have been selected properly, and I can leave in these two days." ”

A smile appeared on Watanabe's face after hearing this, and he waved his hand and said, "Yamada-kun, come here!" ”

Then, a stocky man with a captain's collar badge and neatly draped walked over, and he snapped upright.

"This is Yamada-kun, who is professionally trained to speak not only Burmese fluently, but also Chinese. This time, he was the team leader. As he spoke, he pointed to the group of soldiers behind him and said, "They are carefully selected by me, and they are all the bravest soldiers in the Empire. Now I'll bring them all. Master Wu, once your people are ready, we can set off tomorrow. ”

"Okay, with these warriors, it will be fine." Wu Dengwen nodded and responded in response.

Watanabe Takayuki stayed here with great interest, and he sat in the parlor on the second floor with Aung San for a long time. The window of the living room opened, a British-made ceiling fan whirred, and after a few people went upstairs, Takayuki Watanabe and Aung San Qian sat down.

Aung San asked people to serve herbal tea, and Watanabe Takayuki brought it over and drank it all, boasting several times.

Aung San's attitude was perfunctory, although he was polite on the surface, but because Japan had not been able to agree to Burma's independence before, he was naturally a little unhappy in his heart.

"Watanabe Osa came here today, is it just to go to Tonggu? Isn't there anything new in Tokyo? As soon as he finished saying this, Aung San said as if asking himself: "Presumably no, the last time Tokyo said it very clearly." ”

Aung San deliberately revealed his dissatisfaction, and from time to time he uttered a few whining words. After hearing this, Takayuki Watanabe put down the teacup in his hand and didn't say much, just shook his head and smiled.

"Come, let's continue drinking tea." Aung San also said in a somewhat helpless tone.

"General Aung San, don't be discouraged." Watanabe Takayuki came this time, first, to appease them on behalf of the Japanese side; He reassured Aung San that Burma's independence should not be rushed, and that the Chinese and British troops still occupy half of the country, and they need to work together to drive them out.

"On behalf of the Japanese Empire, I promise you that after the expulsion of the Chinese army, I will finance the independence of the Burmese government. However, the time is not yet ripe for hasty independence, which is not conducive to war. Or work together to drive away the Shina and the British and American ghost animals. ”

Aung San naturally saw some of the situations clearly, but for now, he naturally couldn't fall out with them, so he had to sigh and say, "Okay, then let's work together to drive out the invaders." ”

"Well, as long as we work together, we will definitely be able to drive out the British and American ghost animals and realize the common prosperity of Greater East Asia at an early date." Takayuki Watanabe said expectantly.

"Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity!" Aung San chimed in.

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while,

After Watanabe Takayuki left, Wu Dengwen changed his original face to a grim look, and he asked Aung San seriously: "General, this time the Japanese plan to send people to Tonggu, although it can destroy the work of the expeditionary force, but it is inevitable to burn, kill and loot, this matter is a bit tricky. ”

Aung San waved his hand, "It's okay. You send some dissidents in the army to follow them in disguise, and I have my own way of destroying them. ”

Wu Dengwen immediately understood, and his face immediately showed joy, and he asked in a low voice: "What does the general mean, with the help of the hands of the expeditionary force?" ”

Aung San nodded and did not answer.

Wu Dengwen gave a thumbs up and praised sincerely: "High! ”

……

When Aung San was planning the hole cards for the meeting with Sun Liren, Sun Liren was also thinking about how to use this meeting to win Aung San over.

Can Sun Liren agree to Nanjing's request for money and equipment from Aung San? Huang Ke personally called Sun Liren back, "If you don't see a rabbit, you don't scatter an eagle." Aung San could give them some money and equipment, promise them that both the expeditionary force and the Nanking side would support their independence, and tell them that with the expeditionary force stationed, the British would not be able to return to Burma. But they also have to take action. If necessary, the Burmese army can be plotted against the Japanese army. ”

Huang Ke also said, "Aung San is waiting for the price to sell. Even if you can't talk this time, don't take drastic actions, you can talk a few more times. Remember, a living Aung San is far more useful than a dead Aung San. ”

These words naturally told him Nanjing's hole card on the situation in Myanmar, and then he talked with Aung San, and he had a grasp of the scale.

After everything was arranged, we waited for Aung San to come. At this time, the person in charge of the investigation came back and reported, "It has been verified that the Burmese Independence Army is operating in the Dagon area, and the number is about 20,000." ”

Sun Liren was taken aback, it seemed that the matter was more serious than expected, of course, it made sense why they were able to bypass the defense line and reach their rear without realizing it.

But fortunately, I don't have to worry about it, and it was the Burmese Independence Army that mixed in, not the Japanese army field troops. This is a relief. Everyone knows that the combat effectiveness of the Burmese Independence Army is worrisome, and with a force of 20,000 people, the expeditionary force can eat them up with a single division.

However, Sun Liren knew that the Burmese Independence Army would definitely not take such a big action alone, and according to the past practice, they would cooperate with the Japanese army, and there would inevitably be a wing of Japanese troops among the 20,000 people.

Sun Liren tapped on the map and said, "Which force is near Dagon?" ”

"Report, it's the 3rd regiment of the 1st division." The staff officer replied.

"Okay, let the artillery directly under the headquarters cooperate, and the 3rd Division and 1st Regiment will immediately launch an attack on the enemy forces on the outskirts of Dagon. In addition, with the cooperation of the air force, it sent fighter planes to sweep and drive the group back to Dagon's den first. Tomorrow morning, when the troops arrive at their positions, they will launch a general attack and eat them in one bite. ”

After the deployment, Sun Liren angrily threw the command baton on the map, "This Aung San is still playing this hand with me, while he wants to negotiate with us, but on the other hand, he has sent the independence army over." ”

Senior Commander Dai walked in and said with a smile: "It seems that this Aung San is not simple, if this hand is successful, won't negotiating with us pinch our necks even more?" ”

"Well, it's hard to say, it's a two-faced guy, he's playing politics, you and I have to be careful." Sun Liren voiced his concerns.

"Talking to us is also to leave a way out." Master Dai said slowly: "As long as the battle with Tonggu goes smoothly this time, even if we don't see him, he will take the initiative to come to us." In the final analysis, it is the situation on the battlefield that dominates. ”

"Well, now everything is ready, and the east wind is coming. I think we can launch an attack on the Japanese army. "Sun Liren cut the railway.
