The small town of Tuva was empty, and the British fled by sea to Rangoon without firing a shot. First of all, there were 20 armed rebels of the Hanyang-zao Hokkai-chu Independence Army, whose leader had just returned from training in Japan, a university student, and the Japanese were looking for future agents among a dozen or so Burmese intellectuals.

The soldiers of the Independence Army did not expect the liberation of the motherland to come so quickly, for this day he defected to the CCP and also colluded with the Kuomintang, but in the end, it was Keiji Suzuki who found them. The two sides hit it off, set up a training camp in Thailand, and began to train people.

Since December, thousands of Independence Army (IRA) troops, armed with weapons and radios, have infiltrated in small groups across the mountains along the Thai-Burmese border. These people mainly carried out sabotage, assassination, investigation and other tasks, which is part of the reason why the Japanese army dared to directly challenge the 60,000 British Commonwealth troops with a single B Bell Division.

Kagesa Zhenzhao had just come here five days ago, and there were not many Japanese around him, and it was close to the sea, so it was easy to replenish supplies from the sea, so it was a training base designated by Commander Iida. It was used to train and arm natives in large numbers.

The base camp considered Kagesa's rank and seniority, and was not suitable to go to the southern agency to obey Suzuki Daisa, so he was appointed as the commander of the mixed second brigade. He has no troops in his hands, so he can only be regarded as a bare-bones commander. When he arrived, he found that he seemed to have nothing to do, and neither Asano nor Hasegawa had yet to come.

The rear admiral hated Asano from the bottom of his heart for ruining his plan, and he was originally investigating Kasugamaru and researching a new salvage plan, but the navy immediately snatched the salvage matter. Then he was ordered to wither and transferred to Thailand. Later, I found out that it was Asano, the most unreliable of the three traversers, who came up with a bad idea, and named him to cooperate with his whims. Of course, Kishi Nobusuke also called him and told him that Tojo was currently investigating the behind-the-scenes of the coup d'état that day, so his departure from Japan was a strategy to retreat and advance; In addition, Kishi Nobusuke also believes that the current climate is not suitable for salvaging Kasuga Maru, so it is better to leave it to the navy, they must have a better way. Overall, he's missing out on the futuristic technology beneath the surface. As an intelligence officer who likes to get a glimpse of what is going on, this is undoubtedly the most depressing.

At noon, he put on an ordinary Japanese soldier's uniform, took only one adjutant, and walked out of the church-converted headquarters to go to the beach to relax. There were sporadic gunshots in the distance, and he didn't think it was the Independence Army fighting in the middle. There were several warehouses of the British nearby, these guys were looting the supplies left by the British, they were of different factions, they looked down on each other, and in the morning the fattest group tore off the seal affixed by the Southern Organ and began to carry things, and the other independent troops immediately followed, and as a result, the uneven distribution of the spoils led to several armed fights.

The major general stood on the surface of the sea, watching the sea rise and fall, feeling how he had fallen into this step. Asano's idea, he glanced at it, it was completely like a person who did not understand military affairs and had no common sense of logistics would put forward it, and he wanted to continue to invest troops to attack on the most difficult terrain in the world after the rainy season came, not only to capture Burma, but also to seize the Assam zone in India, so as to completely cut off China's support. It is not a question of how many troops and determination are required, but of solid logistical capabilities. Asano probably thought that he knew some history and could condescendingly direct the war, but as everyone knows, once he intervenes, history will change accordingly, and after the history diverges and evolves, there is no ready-made strategy available. So the major general felt that the real way out was to salvage Kasugamaru.

He tried to find a reef to sit on, turned his head and looked around, and saw two wild dogs nearby looking up at the sky in distraction, he also raised his head to look at the sky, but saw nothing.

"Sir, what are you looking at?" Kagesa's adjutant Oda was puzzled.

"Oh, I'm wondering, is there a reconnaissance plane approaching? It's not far from the Andaman Islands. I've heard that the British submarine is still active in this area, and a few days ago they sank a transport, so we have to be careful. ”

"Reconnaissance planes and submarines can't threaten us, right?" The adjutant was puzzled, he had been fighting against the Eighth Road in Taihang Mountain all the year round, so he naturally couldn't figure out the mind of the intelligence leader.

"I've heard that British military intelligence units have been training death squads that can be sent everywhere with submarines and planes. In North Africa, they assassinated Italian generals. When I was in Shanghai, I also saw their assassinations. ”

"It's nothing more than an agent, and I'm afraid it's vulnerable in front of the regular army." Oda laughed and said, this gaffe immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of Kagesa Zhenzhao, he himself is the head of the secret service, so he naturally does not like others to despise intelligence work.

"Oda-kun, I heard that General Abe was killed, because the intelligence work of the Eighth Route was effective. Their scouts infiltrated and found the command? ”

"This ...... That's true, but the Eighth Route Army was also lucky, and I was on the side that day, but I was only slightly injured. General Abe ......"

"That's why I say, never take intelligence work lightly. There are also some bad habits of our army, which are also very problematic, such as officers always wearing different military uniforms and carrying knives, which are too conspicuous. ”

"This ......"

"Also, don't salute me or bow in the future."

"Yes."

"Don't bow to me what I just said."

Ying Zuo shook his head and said, he does have reason to be afraid, there are so many independent armies around, they are all newly attached, no one knows the details, there may be Chinese and British spies, there may also be bandits, all are unpredictable factors.

The 419 drone is in the air for the last reconnaissance before landing, and because it flies a little low, it is sometimes detected by animals with sensitive hearing. However, the light-colored paint of the drone itself is easy to hide in the blue sky and cannot be seen by the naked eye.

Reconnaissance showed that there were only a few squads of Japanese troops in the town, mainly near the headquarters, but there were many independent troops, and they were all armed. Lin Xiuxuan couldn't determine what identity to use to blend in with the crowd, pretending to be an overseas Chinese, I am afraid that there will be a threat, and the British strategy of divide and rule in Myanmar has created a lot of contradictions between different ethnic groups. posing as Burmese, with language barriers and no appropriate clothing; After thinking about it, there was only one choice, and that was to pretend to be a Japanese soldier. They had a lot of Japanese uniforms, as well as some 33rd Division documents.

After nightfall, a black rubber boat quietly approached the beach. The four of them got off the boat and ran straight to the shore, their task today was relatively simple, that is, to find Kagesa Zhenzhao or the traverser, and then depending on the situation.

The group divided into two teams and walked forward dozens of meters apart. Ma Qiang and Xu Chong followed in a group, carrying boxes containing weapons and laser pointers.

In front of them came a group of drunken Independence Army guerrillas, dressed in native bloomers and slippers, carrying Lee Enfield rifles, bottles in their hands, and armed belts with sparse bullets. I saw the Japanese soldiers from afar, and I shouted hello in Japanese while holding up my wine bottle in greeting.

Lin ignored them and walked straight towards the headquarters of the spire, he needed to mix in with Lu Qingshan to see if there were any people he wanted, as long as one of them was there, it would be a huge victory.

He walked to the entrance of the headquarters, where two Japanese guards stood by the door. He didn't go directly from the main entrance, but ran to the back door with Lu Qingshan, and the drone reminded them that there was a secret sentry here who smoked under the palm trees inside the wall, and the night vision device reconnaissance showed that there was no second enemy in the backyard.

At the same time, Ma's team moved to a nearby hillside to stand by, where they could use low-light sniper weapons or guided laser guidance* to solve the problem.

There was no one around, Lu Qingshan jumped up the high wall, moved a few steps with his waist bent, and jumped down suddenly. When Lin Yue went up the wall, Lu Qingshan had already solved the problem, they dragged the strangled corpse to the corner, and then entered from behind. According to drone reconnaissance estimates, there were about 20 enemies inside. They climbed up to the back window of the church and sneaked in from here.

Entering the second floor of the chapel, looking down, the original long chairs have been moved around, and two large tables are placed in the middle, on which are covered with battle maps. On the map on the opposite side of Mawlamyine and Rangoon, there are two huge red arrows, which are obviously the direction of the Japanese attack in the next stage.

They crouched behind the railing and discerned the people below.

"The current position of the Uno Company is here...... The Kawashima cavalry company has just arrived at the river, and is preparing equipment to cross the river......"

"How's the enemy garrison?"

"It's roughly like yesterday, and the specific information has to wait for the news over there. General Aung San's men would send a telegram around 12 o'clock. According to other sources, a delegation of Chinese officers was in the city, led by a colonel. However, the British had not yet made up their minds to ask the Chinese army to help them. ”

A group of staff officers below are marking the situation of both sides today, and although they did not participate in the attack, they are still doing it very seriously.

The two searched and found no one they knew, just an ordinary command center, and the most senior officer was Shao Zuo. They split up and searched left and right, as there were still some rooms on either side.

The lights in the corridor were dim, Lin stood up and walked over calmly, and a Japanese soldier came in front of him, he didn't dodge, just lowered his head slightly, and the two passed by, without attracting attention.

Walking through the first room, I saw several ensigns inside sorting out the papers. As he walked to the second room, he heard footsteps and voices around the corner in front of him.

"Tell the command that the veterinary station of the 33rd Division cannot be located here, there is not even enough clean water for people to drink here."

"But the horses had to rest for at least four days when they disembarked. The superiors thought that this place was more suitable. ”

"Let General Iida figure it out, and tell Aung San that the ship carrying supplies was sunk, so the weapons and bicycles promised to him could not be given."

Seeing that the sound was about to arrive, and he couldn't hide it, Lin Luo pulled down the brim of his hat, measured his body slightly, and stood aside.

"Without supplies, General Aung San will be unhappy."

"I don't care if he's happy or not. By the way, with me, there is no need to add him the title of general. I met him a few months ago in Tokyo, when he was just an ordinary troublemaker student leader. ”

"Yes."

Kagesa Zhenzhao and his henchmen appeared from around the corner in a blink of an eye, and were seen by Lin at a glance, but there were too many enemies here for him to move. But don't worry, you can solve the problem later.

"When will the troops be able to board the ship from Jinan?"

"At least by the middle of next month, there are no transport ships at all."

"Well, you can land directly in Yangon next month, and it will save you a lot of trouble. Well, we have to let Suzuki restrain these independent troops, the military discipline is really bad. ”

Ying Zuo and his lieutenant walked past Lin Xiuxuan as they spoke, and turned around and walked down at the end of the corridor.

Halfway through, Kagezo suddenly stopped.

"Oda-kun, the person in the corridor just now ......"

"What?"

"I mean, the lieutenant just now. I've only been here for a few days, and the command is unfamiliar. But I don't remember such tall guys. ”

"Oh, I didn't pay attention just now. However, at present, there is no captain in the command except me, and all of them below are lieutenants. The commanders of the troops are still in China. ”

"Strange, I think I've seen this guy somewhere. Also, why are half of his pants wet? ”

Suspicious, Shadow Zo returned to the entrance of the hallway, and wherever he looked, there was no one left.

Let's take a few days off for the 51st holiday.
