In the mountains of northern Myanmar, the original Kachin village is now the headquarters of Yimu Qingzhi.

Icki was wiping his saber, and yesterday he drank too much and used it to slash a Kachin villager who begged for mercy to death, and when he woke up, he regretted that there was already a gap in the blade. Unexpectedly, the Kachin looked thin and had such a stiff neck, and he knew that he should have stabbed him to death with a bayonet. It is the tradition of this unit that the commander kills people himself and uses living people to practice assassination, and this unit, which is known for its ferocity, has never been defeated since the 77th century.

Someone came in to report that the bodies of the three soldiers killed on the outskirts of the camp had been found, all of whom had been stabbed to death. It is possible that there may be a small force of paratroopers in Weingate nearby. He sneered disapprovingly, then ordered his troops to assemble and prepare to pursue them north.

His troops are the elite of the elite, as early as before the base camp invaded Nanyang, when he began to train more than a dozen specialized troops, he positioned the main force to attack the fortification, and the size was about a wing. The scale of jungle operations is not necessarily as large as a division, regiment, brigade, or regiment, but there are too many cumbersome units, which are not easy to mobilize and slow to react.

Each time he attacked, he would not bring the entire Ichiki detachment, but only more than 1,000 people, simplifying the personnel outside the combat unit, further strengthening the mobility ability, and reducing the dependence on logistics; The combat side emphasized bayonet battles and, if necessary, the discarding of the wounded.

His forces are usually divided into two parts, a smaller one for reconnaissance and pilot, and a slightly larger one for immediate response. With this, he made a name for himself in the Philippines and New Guinea. The annihilation of thousands of Allied forces made a decisive contribution to the capture of Port Moresby.

The Ichiki detachment was originally transferred to fight against the bush warfare unit (Wingate's troops) that the British army was assembling together. Unexpectedly, East India collapsed all of a sudden, and now, it is up to him to carry Chu Tingchang to death. He rejected Kimura's suggestion to wait for the troops to assemble and go north, and only took the elite to meet the battle, and in pursuit, leaving behind the mixed 2nd Brigade that cooperated with the battle, only a Burmese armed force could catch up with his troops, which was familiar with the mountains and was quite useful to the Ichiki detachment.

But this morning things were different, and the once brave Burmese soldiers were flinching. When he gave the order to assemble, he could tell that something was wrong from the hesitant expressions of the Burmese soldiers. Yimu speculated that it had something to do with the fact that when crossing the river yesterday, the Burmese soldiers saw too many corpses piled up on the river beach. He warned Wu Pan not to rush forward, but Wu Pan was too greedy for merit, so he still threw off the Japanese army and advanced lightly, and was wiped out by the flood without a battle. Yimu regretted a little, and agreed in the morning that the Burmese army had absorbed the remnants of Wu Pan who had run back one after another, apparently these deserters who had survived the catastrophe had brought some morale-disturbing stories.

He ordered someone to bring in the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Burmese Army, Qiao Sen.

Qiao Sen is Wu Pan's cousin and the commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Burmese Army, which is currently following the Japanese army.

Dressed in a green military uniform, wearing a red turban, wearing a medal, and carrying a scimitar, Qiao Sen came to Ichiki.

"Commander, your troops look like they're having a morale problem?" Kazuki gets straight to the point, and then waits for the translation.

"Yes, Wu Pan's soldiers have brought bad news."

"What news."

"There is a demon in the enemy army who can call the wind and rain, and they can awaken the river god to his use."

"Do you believe such things?"

"Of course, the mountains and rivers of Myanmar are not under the control of the Han Chinese, unless they are extremely skilled people. For now, only when my great wizard arrives, she still has a day and a night to travel, and she can convince the god of mountains and rivers not to be deceived by the Han people. ”

Ichiki really wanted to cut this fool who opened his eyes and said nonsense with a knife, and cooperated with these people who believed in animism, and he was most afraid of this kind of thing.

"We crossed the river yesterday, aren't we okay? It was just a flood caused by heavy rain a few days ago, and Wu Pan was unlucky and picked the wrong time to cross the river. ”

"Just wait one more day, Commander, one day," Jossen said earnestly, "and if there were no wizards, my centaurs would be afraid." ”

"Then you stay and wait for your wizard." Kazuki said unhappily

He didn't have time to entangle with such superstitious people, and he was determined to catch up with his headquarters. He had just received a telegram from the advance troops more than a dozen kilometers ahead, and found that the enemy had found a clearing in the woods to assemble, and might have to wait for the airdrop, which was an excellent opportunity to annihilate the enemy, and he could also grab ready-made supplies, and he must not be delayed.

At the beginning of twenty kilometers to the north, groups of American planes flew in pairs, looking for ground signals and preparing for airdrops. The scheduled airdrop location is in a glade. According to a series of principles of jungle warfare summarized by Wingate, the air-head zone should be established at least 20 kilometers away from the enemy after getting rid of the Japanese army, because the position where the aircraft dropped their parachutes may indicate the position of the ground forces for the enemy, so special caution should be taken. However, what Chu Tingchang wanted was seen by the enemy, and his tactics even Stilwell found incredible.

The pilot saw the smoke rising from the glade below, so he formed up and began to airdrop.

The Japanese army, which was closely behind Chu Tingchang, was only 2 kilometers away from the Chinese army, and the umbrella flowers in the sky could be seen clearly. They reported to Kazuki in the rear, found that the enemy was dropping, and received an order from Kazuki to immediately attack, not to give the enemy a chance to get supplies. In Kazuki's opinion, the enemy was obviously dying of starvation, and he should have been shot to waste a day waiting for a witch.

The Japanese troops saw from afar that the Chinese troops began to collect those supplies. They did not have time to spread out their formations and hastily assembled mortars for firing. Then about 200 people rushed towards the clearing, and in fact they were also eager to grab supplies. They marched lightly without much supplies, and had no time to loot the nearby villages, and had been hungry for two days.

Observing the enemy's attack, Chu Tingchang ordered the troops to retreat quickly. At the same time, coordinate US military aircraft in the air. His tactics, which called for U.S. air support, were carried out by B17 bombers and P38s carrying * and *. Then his troops covered it from both sides. The enemy army behind, Xu Chong spoke highly of it, and his combat ability was very strong, although he was sure to eliminate, but he didn't want a costly victory.

The Japanese troops rushed from the hidden forest to the open field with a shout, and found that the enemy had already run away. The second group of planes in the sky had just arrived, and it was estimated that they would be airdropped, and they did not distinguish the difference between the transport plane and the B17 bomber on the ground for a while, although the latter had four engines. Moreover, the stereotyped thinking of the Japanese army determined that this was an airdrop site, and there would be no * falling, and who would bomb the supplies they had just dropped.

3 B17s flew by at low altitude and dropped a large number of small* for carpet bombing. The Japanese troops, who were in a hurry to collect supplies, were covered by carpet bombing, and for a while the chickens and dogs jumped.

The escorted P38 fighters swooped down and fired at the exposed enemy with * and 4 machine guns and 1 machine gun in the nose. It can be regarded as avenging the Marines in New Guinea.

After the stormy attack, Chu Tingchang's troops came out of the ambush position, and Xu Chong's troops had already cut off the enemy's retreat and killed the two mortars left behind.

This Japanese army is the first meritorious force in the invasion of China, since the attack on Wanping City, it has not tasted a single defeat, where has it suffered such a loss, but it is exposed to the open space, and it is impossible to effectively counterattack. When the Chinese army counterattacked, only one light machine gun was left to fire, and it was quickly wiped out.

The battle ended in 20 minutes, and the 240 people of the invincible Ichiki advance force were completely annihilated, and only a dozen of Chu Tingchang's troops were wounded, and the only casualties were caused by the Japanese army detonating * while cleaning the battlefield.

After the annihilation of the Japanese army, the troops quickly collected the remaining supplies and found that there was nothing left after the American bombing. The reconnaissance unit reported that the Ichiki detachment in the rear was approaching, and the troops hastily collected a few bags of rice and scattered ammunition and withdrew into the forest. The troops are talking about it, Chu Shiza's family must be very rich, otherwise how could they come up with such a strategy to bomb their own supplies.

A lone reconnaissance plane of the Japanese army came to reconnoitre. After a few circles, it was shot down by a P38 fighter. This was the first time that Chu Tingchang had seen a Japanese plane since the Chinese army entered northern Burma. The 5th Flying Division has been severely injured twice after being beaten, and I don't know when it will recover. It seemed that the Japanese air power in northern Burma had collapsed and was completely unable to threaten the Hump route, and he was even more determined to think that the counteroffensive must not follow the rhythm of the British, but faster.

Early the next morning, Tianjin.

Lin Xiuxuan and Lu Qingshan set off for the Japanese Concession and went to the Japanese Concession to participate in the celebration meeting. Originally, it was just a small traditional festival in Japan, but because it needed to boost morale and win over pro-Japanese factions, it was immediately agreed with the Tianjin Special Government to make this festival bigger. They hired two foreign cars to go to the Japanese barracks at Haiguang Temple. The coachman was clearly reluctant. In the coachman's opinion, it is clear that the people who can go to that place today are not people with bones.

The Japanese concession was already crowded with men, dressed in traditional costumes, relaying against a wooden shelf for statues of gods. The coachman excused himself by saying that the road was impassable, and that he would be easily beaten by the Japanese if he walked further, so he left the two on the road. Lin still gave the full amount of the car, and the driver turned around and left without thanking him, so he walked with Lu Qingshan.

In fact, they don't have any specific goals, and confirming the location of the traverser is still a rather ethereal task, and the enemy chieftain gathering in Haiguang Temple will also be at night, so they will set up stalls and wander around to collect intelligence, and they don't expect to bump into the traverser.

Walking down the street, there was a Japanese schoolgirl who stuffed a piece of paper into Lin's hand. It is written in Chinese and Japanese characters: Sino-Japanese Cultural Homology Discussion, located in the lecture hall on the first floor of Songdao Girls' High School. Students are welcome.

Lin Xiuxuan thought about it, why don't you go and take a look. The two asked passers-by about the direction of the girls' school, and then went to the school. According to Lin's personal observations, in the concession in Shanghai a year ago, the resistance of the Chinese to the invasion of Japanese culture was quite obvious, and the bottom line of the so-called Yidi defense did exist in the hearts of most people. Even if goodwill activities are to be carried out, they are confined to a very small circle in the cultural circles, but the atmosphere in Tianjin is very different now. Perhaps the Japanese restrained their bayonets a little, and the common people gradually lost their hatred of the invaders, and the lively scene here can be seen, and a large number of Chinese are quite excited to watch the Japanese performance.
