Chapter 20: The Devil's Attention (Ask for Collection)

Qin Shou, after being reborn into this world, his ambition was also ignited. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info as a person with advanced cognition, his eyes are no longer limited to this war. Winning the little devil and winning this war is just the first step. He also needs to think about the future.

Domestic affairs, Qin Shou didn't want to get involved. He wants to raise an army in this war and lay down a vast territory in the South Seas. After all, in Nanyang, there are tens of millions of Chinese, and there are definitely a lot of them. These Chinese are very wealthy, but their political status is not high, and even the safety of property and life is not guaranteed.

In the eyes of many Western forces and the natives of Nanyang, the hard-working Chinese are nothing more than pigs raised by them. After fattening, it can be slaughtered. For various reasons, the country is unable to provide support to these Chinese. Then, since Qin Shou came here, he didn't want such a tragedy to happen.

How are the despicable Western colonizers, who are lazy and lazy, like pig-like natives, who are qualified to treat the Chinese like this? The hard-working Chinese are the real Chinese in this land.

These are undoubtedly what Qin Shou has thought of since this period of time, as well as the goals he has determined for the future. He also knows that it will be very, very difficult to achieve this goal. However, he believes that as long as he works hard, one day, his goal will be achieved.

After getting straight to the point and clarifying his thoughts, Qin Shou felt a lot more relaxed. And Liu Shiquan's full support made him more confident in the future. After all, with Liu Shiquan's support, the supplementary group will have no other problems at all. The next thing Qin Shou has to do is to build a stronger army based on the supplementary regiment.

Early in the morning of May 30, the supplementary regiment withdrew from Sunbrabeg. The reconnaissance company, as the vanguard, left last night. Sunbrabang is more than 150 kilometers away from Myitkyina, and it is a mountain road. In order to avoid being discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes, the supplementary regiment could only go out by day and night. During the day, he rests in the dense forest and trains his troops. Hurry again in the evening.

Although this speed is a little slower, there is no problem in reaching Myitkyina within five days.

Now the supplementary regiment has more soldiers, and there are more subordinate troops. However, many of the soldiers were from various units of the previous expeditionary force. It will take some time to twist the entire replenishment regiment into a rope and exert its maximum combat effectiveness. The period from Sun Brabang to Myitkyina was the time that Qin Shou used to train his troops.

When the troops marched at night and rested and trained during the day, Qin Shou often went down to every battalion, whether it was an infantry battalion, an artillery battalion, or a heavy weapons battalion. Mingle with the officers and soldiers and listen to their voices.

And Qin Shou's approach also made the people who supplemented the regiment accept this young and excessive regiment leader.

Especially when they learned from the veterans of the supplementary regiment how Qin Shou led the supplementary regiment on the verge of collapse step by step and developed into the current powerful force, they admired him from the bottom of their hearts and were willing to fight under his command.

Of course, all this was arranged by Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan.

In such a predicament, it is very necessary to unite the combat effectiveness of the troops and create a heroic image. And Qin Shou is undoubtedly the most suitable person. The officers and men adored him and obeyed him. In this way, Qin Shou would be able to better control the entire army.

As the replenishment regiment grew stronger day by day, it was getting closer and closer to Myitkyina. The activities of the supplementary regiment were finally learned by the Japanese army.

Northern Myanmar is mountainous and full of inaccessible places. However, between the mountains, there are also patches of plains. The northernmost plain in Myanmar, called the Grape Plain, is located on the left bank of the Mai Li Khai River and is named after the abundance of grapes.

Here, it originally belonged to Burma, and the map of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China did not have territorial claims and actual control over it, and then joined the map of the Republic of China in 1936 for unknown reasons.

Of course, now it is under the control of the Japanese army. The headquarters of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army was located here.

Suzuki Shigenao Shaosa was a staff officer of the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, responsible for the logistics and supply of the division. On the battlefield in northern Burma, the 18th Division was the well-deserved main force of the Japanese army, defeating many powerful units of the expeditionary force. Of course, the 18th Division also paid a lot of losses because of this, especially in terms of weapons and equipment.

After driving the Chinese Expeditionary Force into the vast Savage Mountain, the 18th Division stopped the offensive and waited for follow-up supplies, preparing to launch an attack on China after regaining its combat effectiveness.

It's just that something has happened that worries Suzuki Shigenao Shaozo, and the supplies that should have been shipped a long time ago have not been traced yet.

"Someone, is the captain of the Mizutani Wing back?" Shigenao Suzuki asked.

"Sir, Chief Mizutani hasn't come back yet." A Japanese soldier reported.

"Damn! If you don't bring the baggage back, it will be difficult for Your Excellency the division commander to explain it. ”

Just when Suzuki Shigenao Shaozo was in a hurry, the commander of the 18th Wing of the 18th Heavy Infantry under the 18th Division of the Japanese Army, Mizutani Toraki Nakasa, appeared. It's just that his face is very ugly.

"Mizutani Nakasa, where are the weapons and ammunition that the division urgently needs?" Shigeno Suzuki asked.

"Suzuki Shaosa, we didn't get weapons and ammunition. Sunbra was destroyed, and the arsenal was emptied. In addition, in the valley ten kilometers north of Sunbrabeg, the bodies of the officers and men of the two squadrons of the 46th Wing were found dead, all of whom had been shattered. ”

"Nani? How so? Who did it? "It's like I've seen a ghost.

"It's still unclear, I don't know if it was the Chinese or the Burmese indigenous people who did it." Mizutani Hukichi shook his head.

"No, I have to report to His Excellency the division commander immediately." Shigenao Suzuki did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly reported to the division headquarters.

"Report, Your Excellency Division Commander, there is an emergency report from the lowly post!" Shigenao Suzuki stood respectfully in front of the division commander, Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya.

"Suzuki-kun, what's going on? What about the weapons and ammunition that we urgently need? Why hasn't it been delivered yet? Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya frowned. This batch of weapons and equipment is directly related to the next offensive plan of the 18th Division.

"I'm very sorry, Your Excellency the Division Commander. Those weapons and equipment, I'm afraid they won't be able to come. Suzuki lowered his head and reported everything that had happened to Lieutenant General Mutaguchi Ryoya.
