Once Sakagaki's plan was achieved, Chu Tingchang's theoretical supply line was only a tortuous route through northern Burma into Yunnan to Guangxi, and then into Laos and Vietnam. According to Kagesa's assessment, after cutting off the Thai-Burma railway, Chu Tingchang's logistics capacity will drop from 400 to 600 tons per day to about 150 tons. Moreover, it is unlikely that the warlords in Yunnan will go all out to maintain such a transportation line that has no interest in themselves, and they will inevitably pluck their feathers. And the only thing that is really reliable is the capacity of American aircraft, and this air transport line, which is not as close to the Chinese side as the Hump route, and the ground aviation base on the Malay Peninsula has an advantage in interception distance.

It is expected that the operation plan will be completed before the rice in Vietnam and Thailand matures, so as to quickly fill the domestic food gap. As in the past, the battle plans of the Japanese General Staff were always overdetailed and over-thought.

Regardless of whether this battle is won or lost, in fact, it has already shaken the national foundation of Japan, and a large number of newly recruited troops in Japan, unable to complete even the basic light weapons, will be sent to the northeast to fill the vacancy of the Kwantung Army, while in the direction of Australia and New Guinea, they can only be filled with divisions formed by re-recruited veterans who have been re-recruited in their hometowns, but these divisions are also lacking in weapons. The situation on the battlefield in China was precarious, and the war for law and order in North China consumed a large number of troops. Through the reopened China-Burma highway, the Kuomintang army, which has received new equipment, is growing rapidly. Replacing Toshishi Hatatake, Rokuoka Village Ninji, is also stretched thin and tired of coping. But Rao is like this, and the base camp is still open to fight with Chu Tingchang.

Of course, the entire Japanese plan, 419 has not yet been perceived, because most of the enemy's movements have not yet begun. Troops are also massing towards the port city. The entire redeployment is expected to take two to three weeks. During this period, Sakagaki was ready to use all his strength, test with Chu Tingchang, and improve the future attack plan.

After Saigon's empty city plan was successful, Sakagaki had two completely different experiences, first, of course, he was shocked by the precise and rapid mobilization of Chu Ting's troops. The second is to feel confident. He realized that Chu Tingchang's omnipotence and anticipation of the enemy's opportunities were actually loopholes and could be deceived, and he also noticed that Chu Tingchang was very frightened*. Sakagaki feels that this psychological weakness is bound to be the core of future fights.

Of course, after the failure of the plan to use the captured American-made B17 bomber to transport/drop nuclear bombs, the task of mobile dropping nuclear bombs fell to the nose of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' new four-engine bomber, but this kind of bomber is still in the test flight stage, and there are countless problems. The most serious problem, of course, is that the bomb bay is too small to carry the Japanese nuclear bomb with too many servos and strange shape, which is theoretically feasible to mount in the open cabin, but the speed, range, and flight altitude are greatly affected. A basic problem was that if the plane dropped a nuclear bomb, it would not have time to escape, so the military department decided to build a suicide bomber, but this again involved the problem of nuclear bomb fuses (according to the information that has been gathered, the military department wants to explode in the air, and several air pressure fuze designs are not yet foolproof).

Before the airfield in Saigon was restored, Sakagaki took a seaplane provided by the navy to chase after the retreating Chu Tingchang's troops, and he wanted to observe the enemy's movements from the air and observe all the details of Chu Tingchang's army. He knew that it would be difficult for US planes to arrive here, and that the Japanese army aviation units on the Jinou Peninsula had only a few planes left, but as long as they could fly, they would be able to gain air supremacy. Of course, the most important security guarantee comes from self-discipline, simply put, he can't report any of his whereabouts in advance, which is what Ying Zuo taught him. In this way, the enemy loses the ability to obtain information by eavesdropping on the radio.

Now he is going to use the weakness of the enemy he has mastered to the extreme, dance on the blade, and have a good deal with Chu Tingchang.

Soon the plane caught up with the rearguard of Chief Chu Ting, and with the help of the borrowed Navy 20x binoculars, he could clearly see the enemy's convoy. The trucks were moving along a rough mountain road, and the distance between the vehicles was well maintained. The infantry column walked on the side of the road, apparently attacking the troops of Chu Dinh Chang in Saigon, but still not fully motorized (in fact, the Vietnamese guerrillas who retreated with Chu Dinh Chang).

On the Mekong, several pontoon bridges laid with pontoons and steel plates are transporting infantry. Trucks are speeding through at breakneck speeds, and the standard of these pontoons is much higher than that of Japanese standard pontoons made of boats and planks.

On a nearby road bridge, trucks towing heavy artillery are driving through the forest. Trucks occupy one side of the bridge, leaving the other side for motorcycles.

In the middle of the river, on motorized or hand-propped ferries, medium tanks were parked. About 30 tons of Sherman exceeded the bridge weight limit, so they used a ferry boat to transport it. It seems that the enemy is advancing in many directions, and there is no confusion in the slightest. The troops marched in an orderly manner, with no signs of sluggishness or blockage. In contrast, the army motorized exercise hosted by the Army University has not been very successful every time, and the scale is large, and it will definitely be chaotic. Either the truck can't wait for gas, or the tank is missing parts and breaks down on the road, or the bridge is crushed.

Sakagaki himself participated in several marches with the participation of motor vehicles on the Chinese battlefield much earlier than the exercises, and each time there were accidents in which tanks fell into rivers and trucks overturned in the mountains. How did Chief Chu's troops do all this? He observed in northern China that the Chinese drove on the left, and horseback or pedestrians did not care left or right, rushing everywhere, but it was really strange that the march of the Chu Ting Chang was on the right.

Anti-aircraft positions near the bridge began to fire, and the Sakagaki aircraft turned away.

In the Tokyo Army Hospital, Wang Jingwei's fourth plan experiment is underway. His heart rate had dropped to the point of dying, and he was still on constant blood transfusions and booster shots to sustain his last breath. The Japanese are ready to squeeze their surplus value to the extreme.

Finally, it was too late to complete the last plan, Wang didn't hold on, and the smoke was gone. All of a sudden, the heart rate flattened, and no amount of medication was working.

A doctor covered in blood walked out and bowed to Chen Bijun expressionlessly: "Your Excellency Chairman Wang, it's over." Then he left.

Chen Bijun sat on the ground against the wall for a long time, and then began to cry: "The country is so ruined, how can you let go?" Without you, China will perish...... You don't want to think about the country, you have to think about me, think about your children, you have no conscience and lack great virtue, why did you leave......"

On the other side, Makino's surgery has already begun. In fact, Dr. Hirano had already been sure that Wang Jingwei did not have to die, but he still asked his assistant to flesh out another plan in case of contingency.

The operation went very smoothly, and Makino's injuries were not as old as Wang Jingwei's, although the pain caused by the temporary infection was great, but the shrapnel was still exposed, and Wang's tumor was not formed.

In only three hours, Dr. Hirano removed the shrapnel, he felt that he was a little conservative, it seemed that Wang Jingwei's experiment was a little redundant, but whatever he was, the responsibility for what the military department agreed to was not on himself.

So far, the heads of several puppet regimes supported by Japan, except for Bose, the father of the Indian independence movement, who escaped from the battlefield and his whereabouts are unknown, the rest have died mysteriously. Of course, most of them were poisoned in the coup d'état that overthrew Tojo, and Wang Jingwei escaped for a while and became the last person to die.

On the Vietnam-Cambodian border, in the temporary headquarters of Chief Chu Ting, a military meeting is being held. The first thing is, of course, to review Saigon's retreat.

The Viet Minh leaders present at the meeting first expressed their dissatisfaction, believing that after their day and night onslaught, the enemy was already crumbling and needed at most a few more shells from the Chinese allies. But at this moment, the Chinese actually fled.

"This is a very shameful failure." The guerrilla leader Le Duan took the case, "We Vietnamese will not retreat if we come back, the Vietnamese have defeated the Han Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and the Vietnamese can also defeat the Japanese." However, someone betrayed us. ”

On the side, Ho Chi Minh hurriedly looked at the translator, so that most of the content of Le Duan's arrogant words was not translated into Chinese, even so, Li Duan's provocative arrogance was already very obvious, fortunately, Zhou Youfu's ear hearing has not recovered, otherwise it is inevitable to drag Li Duan out and beat him violently.

"As an allied force, I don't think the Chinese army did the right thing to retreat at the last moment." Ho Chi Minh said in Chinese. He is still a city government, and he seems neither humble nor arrogant.

"You know what a fart," Ho Bisheng, who was in charge of the Saigon offence, was the first to jump up, "Don't retreat, the enemy is ...... That's ......*...... Only...... It's ringing, do you understand? ”

Why bother to win, he will stutter a little when he is in a hurry. Zhou Youfu saw that the scene was hot and was eager to try, but his ears didn't hear it too clearly, so he couldn't interject for a while.

"Don't even make any noise." Chu Tingchang waved his hand, "This retreat is really providential," he said as he walked to the statue of Emperor Guan at the back of the tent and lit a stick of incense.

"Here in the Viet Minh, I will give an explanation, and give them all the weapons captured in this attack."

He knew that Ho Chi Minh's authority was also challenged by his military leaders, and in fact the retreat from Saigon would shake his position, and it was not enough to give him some face now, but also to give some inside.

"Commander Chu, what's next? Saigon won't fight? Ho Chi Minh asked.

"Emperor Guan Shengjun Divine Domain cannot be violated, let's hold off for a while. This year, before the rice is ripe, there will be another onslaught from the Japanese, so we need to be prepared. ”

"It's just inexplicable, why take it slow, why not drive the Japanese into the sea?" Li Duan attacked again, this time all translated into Chinese.

"You want to eat...... Want to eat ......*? He Bisheng shouted.

"What is *?" Le Duan said blankly, of course, there is no * this word in Vietnamese, the translation is directly pronounced in Chinese, of course he does not understand.

"You're a bastard,* ...... I don't know...... Shot...... Not too much. "He Bisheng knew* only two weeks earlier than Li Duan, but it was enough afterwards.

Chu Tingchang didn't want to listen to their quarrel, so he turned to look at the map. He knew his biggest problem had arrived. The Japanese army did not react quickly, but it was not static. They're adapting, they're learning. They are studying countermeasures, how to regain the initiative on the battlefield.
