Chutian's group, risking the danger and passing through the artillery fire, under the condition of reducing the number of nine people, sneaked into Yangon from the front of the Japanese position, and Chutian's appearance made the remaining eleven team members, including the detachment leader, admire, this is not only improvisation, super psychological quality, but also the method that they dare to take when they absolutely understand the mentality of Japanese soldiers and officers. **(）

Chu Tian glanced at his deputy, and then said: "It is very easy to kill the Japanese soldiers of this squad, but have you thought about it, in this way, not only will we be exposed, but also other groups will bring mortal danger, we are just shelling, and we did not attack, a small group of Japanese soldiers, suddenly died, any Japanese officer with a little brain, will judge that someone has infiltrated Yangon, and then, we will face the search and arrest of the Japanese army in the whole city, how to complete the task?" ”

The detachment leader's face turned red, and he lowered his head and said: "Detachment leader, it's because I'm thinking about the problem simply, and you criticize me!" Chu Tian smiled gently, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and said: "As a commander of the special forces, we must consider the problem comprehensively, and it is a last resort to eliminate the Japanese army that discovered us, okay, this is not the time to review, the rest time is up, let's go!" ”

The city of Yangon was already in chaos, both tall buildings and low dwellings were black-lit and closed, and the cemeteries were generally desolate, and on the streets, only a group of Japanese troops drove out of the city to rush to the outlying positions, and the chaotic footsteps and the rapid shouting of Japanese were all loud, but it added to the terrifying and tense atmosphere.

Chutian's small team of more than a dozen people passed by the Japanese army from time to time, no one noticed them, and no one wondered how a small team could come from the opposite direction, the Japanese troops in Yangon City, as many as dozens of formations, each unit, received different orders. But the direction is the same, that is, to the west and north of Yangon, the area where the artillery of the separate division is shelling.

The whole city. As if facing a great enemy, this sudden shelling was completely unexpected by Ito Yanzaburo, and he never expected it. The troops of the independent division, which would attack at night, and the heavy shelling of the trenches outside the city could be seen as a prelude to a large-scale attack by the troops of the independent division. Otherwise, Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, would have gone crazy and used so many shells and such a fierce artillery bombardment to harass the imperial troops.

According to the pre-war plan, the troops that reinforced the front-line positions had already been sent out, and they set off early. *1*1* has arrived at the designated location. Major General Kawashima Shingoro, the new chief of staff and artillery commander of the Dispatch Army, put down his phone after giving the order to all the artillery groups to prepare for the bombardment, looked at the commander-in-chief who was frowning like ants in a hot pot, and stopped talking.

Kawashima is strange, for attacking a city. Launching an all-out offensive at night is by no means the best option. Urban street fighting, will make the attacking side. Pay several times more casualties, but why did the commander of the independent division do this? What is the rationale? Kawashima couldn't figure it out, and wanted to exchange opinions with His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, but when he saw Ito's appearance, he swallowed it back when it came to his mouth.

In fact, Ito is also worried about this problem, the outer trench has been shelled, it has been almost an hour, and there is no sign of stopping, the artillery of the independent division seems to be specially ruthless under this trench that has poured their hearts and souls, and the shells are raining down, but the front-line position less than a kilometer away from the outer trench has not even dropped a piece of shell skin.

What made Ito even more incomprehensible was that none of the positions on the front line had found any precursors for the independent division troops to prepare for the start of the attack, so why did the hateful devil of Shina go crazy in the middle of the night and pour thousands of shells into the outer trenches, as he judged, just to harass the Imperial Army troops?

This is also outrageous, unless Tang Qiuli took the wrong medicine, Ito asked a few whys in his heart, but he couldn't give an answer, this feeling made Ito almost yell in frustration, and looked up to see Chief of Staff Kawashima, the eyes of the two touched, and they both saw the doubts between each other, or Kawashima spoke first, "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the troops of the Independent Division, against the norm, carried out such a large-scale and fierce artillery bombardment at night, its intention is worth our deep thought!" ”

Ito glared at his chief of staff angrily, and said in his heart, "Isn't this nonsense, if I could know what the intentions of that madman-like devil are, I wouldn't be guilty of thinking about this sorrowful and almost tearing out my hair," "Chief of Staff, what is your opinion on the independent division's troops suddenly launching such a large-scale artillery bombardment at night, let's hear it?" Ito asked.

What opinion can Kawashima have, he is also a mess, but the commander-in-chief asked like this, and if he didn't answer a four, five or six, it seemed that he was incapacitated, too hasty, originally, because of a few words, he suddenly added to a high position, many people were unconvinced, and he was also a little trembling, but Ito's question was really difficult to answer.

Looking at Ito's scrutinizing eyes, Kawashima's anxious brain was sweating, and suddenly, he had an idea and said: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, there is a judgment on the basis of whether the purpose of this shelling by the artillery of the Independent Division is to destroy the outer trenches of our army and clear the way for large-scale attacks in the future, otherwise, it cannot be explained, the areas of the shelling are concentrated in the area of the outer trenches, but the forward positions are unscathed and not a single shell has fallen." ”

Ito patted his head, there was a feeling of suddenness, looking at this chief of staff who was temporarily promoted on impulse, it was much more pleasing to the eye, this is the only explanation, and it is also the most likely thing, the outer trenches that stretch on three sides around the city of Yangon are an insurmountable obstacle for the troops of the independent division, especially for the tanks.

At the beginning, he spent a lot of effort to dig this defensive trench in order to delay the speed of the attack of the independent division's troops, and then, using crossfire, to give the soldiers of China the maximum damage, it can be said that the outer trench that protects the three directions of the urban area of Yangon is the hard shell of the city's defense, and Tang Qiuli will inevitably destroy this defense in order to be able to attack the urban area of Yangon.

The train of thought is right, the next question, just go along this line of thought logically, all the doubts, will be solved, Ito patted Kawashima on the shoulder with a smile, with affection in the apapproval, and said: "Kawashima-kun, your ability has been proven again, I am not wrong about you, your mind is first-class, greatly good, and it has solved the doubts in my heart." ”

Kawashima did not look flattered, but looked worried, and said in a low tone: "Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief, my concern is that once the outer trench is destroyed by the artillery fire of the independent division, our defense system will lose an important support, and since Tang Qiuli has made up his mind, he will not give us a chance to repair it again, and the defensive deployment of the imperial army, it seems, still needs to be adjusted!" ”

Kawashima's tone seemed very helpless, and the feeling of being beaten passively was indeed uncomfortable, unexpectedly, Ito smiled indifferently, and said lightly, "Kawashima-kun, you are too worried," Kawashima was a little anxious, "Your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, the humble position is by no means alarmist, please think twice!" ”

Ito laughed, his eyes flashed with a cunning and ruthless light, and said to Kawashima: "Kawashima-kun, please sit down, tomorrow, no, after the shelling stops, we can repair the outer trench immediately," Kawashima said inexplicably: "General, the troops we sent to repair the outer trench will be destroyed by the artillery fire of the independent division, this is more than worth the loss, please think twice!" ”

This is the second time Kawashima has asked Ito to think twice, it seems that this chief of staff is still very loyal, and he is more stubborn, Ito waved his hand and said: "Kawashima-kun don't be impatient, I won't send a soldier of the imperial army, there are hundreds of thousands of citizens in Yangon City, they are coolies who don't need money, and they are also very good resources, I am under the nose of the devil Tang Qiuli, and I drove the citizens to repair the outer trench with great fanfare." ”

"Our soldiers, mixed with the citizens are responsible for guarding and supervising, if Tang Qiuli in order to prevent us from repairing the outer trenches, will inevitably take military action, shells fall, and it is the citizens who are killed, so that the citizens will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, and the hatred for Tang Qiuli will increase to an incomparably greater extent, and we will use it again, this is not out of thin air more than 100,000 Burmese garrisons loyal to the imperial army."

"If Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, does not dare to take attack on the citizens of Yangon who repair the outer trench, then our repair work can be completed very smoothly, he bombs it again, we repair it again, and so on and so forth, the outer trench is still an insurmountable moat for the soldiers of the independent division, and even if Tang Qiuli has several times the strength and equipment of the imperial army, what can I do! Yes! ”

After Ito finished speaking, he leaned back on the chair relaxedly, his expression was leisurely, looking at the serpent-like smug light in the eyes of the commander-in-chief, Kawashima stood up, bowed deeply, and said with great reverence: "Humble and subdued, Your Excellency the commander-in-chief is far-sighted and good at using various resources, which is by no means beyond our reach, Yangon will be safe with you, please accept my highest respect!" After saying that, bow to the end.

Kawashima is really convinced, such a method can be thought of, otherwise why is the commander-in-chief, high, high! Ito is very useful, and it feels good to be adored by his subordinates, and he feels more and more that Kawashima is a cute person, and he is a junior worthy of training.

Yang Dong, the headquarters of the Independent Division, Tang Qiuli asked Liu Xinlan, "Xinlan, have all the teams of Eagle Eye sent back telegrams?" Liu Xinlan replied precisely: "Five minutes ago, I received a telegram from the last group, which had infiltrated Yangon, and so far, twenty groups have sent back news that they have infiltrated. ”

Tang Qiuli nodded and said, "Order Zheng Yong, stop the shelling, everything we can do is done, and then, it depends on how Chutian and them make trouble in Yangon, and all the telegrams from the Eagle Eye team will be handed over to me immediately." ”
