Chapter 126 Why can the British army rob it but we can’t? (Two in one!) "What did you say? In the last heavy artillery duel, the artillery that was destroyed by the Sichuan Army was fake?" From the headquarters of the Japanese Fifteenth Army, Maszo Kawabe looked at the documents in his hands. Hearing the report from his subordinates, he raised his head and looked at each other. . "Yes, the Intelligence Section learned through reliable means that Lieutenant Ishita and others discussed destroying the supplies at the Myitkyina Railway Station in the temple. However, they were betrayed by the monks in the temple and eventually captured by the Sichuan Army." The intelligence staff member looked at Masami by the river. He quickly explained. Hearing this, Hebian Zhengzo put down the document in his hand, and then said angrily. “Are you sure?” “It’s basically certain that someone in Myitkyina saw the Sichuan Army arresting everyone in the temple, but they released them not long after.” The intelligence staff officer handed over the document in his hand. "Could it be a conspiracy?" Hebian Zhengzo did not pick it up immediately, but asked instead. Hearing this, the intelligence staff hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said. “Probably not.” “What’s the basis?”
The last heavy artillery showdown was a defeat due to heavy losses of the Japanese heavy artillery regiment. After that, the situation on the Inrawady River became out of control. The Takeuchi Alliance could only choose to hollow out the mountain and was unable to continue the attack. After that, Colonel Tomami Souji suspected that the previous intelligence was false and that he deliberately lured the heavy artillery regiment into being deceived. Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for the Sichuan Army to find out the coordinates of the Japanese heavy artillery in such a short period of time. You must know that even in modern times, it is not that easy to find the coordinates of heavy artillery in a very short time. The Sichuan Army Corps on the opposite side is just a newly formed army with no foundation. Before this, the performance of the artillery team was not obvious. Suddenly it became so powerful. Basically, it took three or four rounds to kill one of their heavy artillery positions. It was simply outrageous. At that time, many people believed that Colonel Tomami Souji was trying to avoid punishment. After all, heavy artillery is still very important to the army. Especially, more than half of the steel produced every year is eaten by the navy, a gold-swallowing behemoth. The army's heavy artillery becomes even more important. It is not that easy to make up for the loss of so many heavy artillery pieces at once. Even though the British army lost a lot of Vickers cannons, the shells of those cannons were missing, so it was naturally impossible for them to fire as unscrupulously as before. But Colonel Souji Azumi swore on his military honor that there was definitely something wrong with the intelligence and it was a trap. After receiving the complaint, Kawabe Shozo felt that the other party was considered a senior military officer. Even if he died, he had to let the other party know how to die. Order the Intelligence Section to investigate the last heavy artillery duel. In fact, he did not believe that the Sichuan Army could find the Japanese heavy artillery positions in such a short period of time.
What’s more, Colonel Souji Tomomi is not a waste. Since the other party said so, there must be a reason. This reminded him of the Battle of Nomenkan, which was also a heavy artillery duel, but that time the Japanese army's heavy artillery caliber completely defeated the Soviet army. The result was still a defeat. The reason is that the number of artillery pieces of the Soviet army far exceeds that of the Japanese army. After a long period of consumption, the Japanese army could not bear it at first. Finally, the coordinates were found and most of them were destroyed. But this time it was even more outrageous. Within half an hour of destroying the artillery of the Sichuan Army, the coordinates were found. If this was not a trap, it would really be unreasonable. "This is the news sent back by our personnel who sneaked into Myitkyina. It has been confirmed by many people. Recently, the Sichuan Army Corps even sent the officer who originally captured Lieutenant Jingxia to visit the temple to express condolences." The intelligence staff handed another photo to passed. The above clearly captured photos of Long Wenwen talking to the temple monks with a smile on his face. At this point, there are actually still many flaws. For example, the expression of the monk is very perfunctory. For example, why I happened to be photographed. But are these important? It’s not important! "Where's Lieutenant Jingxia?" Hebian Zhengzo glanced at the photo and asked casually. "I don't know. Our people tried many methods and couldn't find any information about him." The intelligence staff responded. "What do you think of this news?" Hebian Zhengsan nodded and continued to ask. “What Colonel Tomami Soji said is true, there must be something wrong with the intelligence, otherwise the Sichuan Army would not have been able to find the coordinates of the heavy artillery in such a short period of time.” The intelligence staff gave his own opinion. “But it’s hard for me to judge the matters regarding the temple and the lieutenant in the well.” "There's nothing difficult to judge. It's just that Lieutenant Jingxia has already exposed his whereabouts, or someone in the temple has informed him." Hebian Zhengzo said casually. “Then…” the intelligence staff asked hesitantly. "Colonel Tomomi Souji's overall performance is good. He is indeed an excellent artillery officer in the empire. The 56th Field Artillery Regiment still needs him. Let him return and continue to serve as the commander." Kawabe Shozo thought for a while and decided to let him go back. The other party continued to serve as the captain of the heavy artillery unit. “At the same time, let the 56th Heavy Artillery Regiment temporarily station in Lashio to rest and recuperate. It will take some time for the new heavy artillery to arrive.” “Hai.” The intelligence staff member responded immediately. "As for the temple..." When the temple was mentioned, Kawabe Shozo fell into deep thought. Especially the subordinates reported that the temples here are all golden Buddhas. That’s right, it’s a Buddha statue made of gold. Habian Zhengzo has long wanted to take advantage of this huge fortune. These natives are not really naive enough to think that they are here to rescue each other, right? If it’s true!
I can only say that the other party is really naive. Hebian Zhengsan frowned even deeper considering the telegram sent from the base camp. The telegram from the base camp was very simple, that is, to raise a batch of 100,000 tons of rice to be shipped to the mainland. One hundred thousand tons! The materials they seized were not that much. It is true that the natives have a lot of grain in their hands. Purchase money to buy? When did the imperial army have to pay for food? I don’t have this habit at all! Even if you pay, you will be given military coupons, which are too hard to wipe your butt. It is impossible to pay money. Then there is only one way left, and that is to grab it openly. Thinking of this, Hebian Zhengzo decided to issue an order to requisition food from the indigenous people. "Requisitioning food? Won't those natives riot?" the intelligence staff hesitated and said. You must know that they are in the name of rescuing the indigenous people, so the indigenous people continue to send information. If we requisition food now, the natives will definitely resist. After all, the purpose of helping the Japanese army was to drive away the British army and become independent. Now there is another one who is more ferocious than the British army. What do they want from the Japanese army? "Riot? What are the guns in our hands for? This is an order from the base camp. The first batch of 100,000 tons of rice must be transported back to the country as soon as possible." Hebian Zhengzo casually threw the telegram to the intelligence staff. Looking at the telegram, the intelligence staff was speechless for a while. He understands the virtues of those in the base camp. This time it is rice, but next time it may not be rice, but gold and oil. In the long run, the natives will definitely be pushed to the side of the British army. After all, relatively speaking, the British army's methods were relatively mild. The Japanese army's methods are really too low-level. “Hai, I understand.” The intelligence staff responded quickly. “I understand your worries, but now the Pacific War has reached a critical moment. Only by defeating the Miju can we completely dominate the Far East.” "These are the prices you have to pay." Hebian Zhengsan said seriously. “Hai.”
“Besides, the resources of this land are so rich, especially gold.” Hebian Zhengsan said with intention. It didn’t take long for the grain requisition order issued by Hebian Zhengzo to spread throughout the Japanese army. This was not the first time that the Japanese soldiers had done this. They immediately understood that this was a way for their superiors to reward them. So the accumulated desires in my heart completely exploded, and they were out of control. The most confused ones are the natives, who promised to rescue them. Why are they now more ferocious than the British army? You should know that at the beginning, the Japanese soldiers often spoke friendly words and even helped with work. Give children candy, etc. These methods convinced the natives that the Japanese army was here to help them. But now, they rob each other whenever they disagree. If anyone dared to stop him, he would be beaten with a rifle butt, or at worst, he would be killed indiscriminately. The natives in the city are a little better. After all, the Japanese army still needs to be stationed in the city and they need to save face. But the villages in the countryside have suffered such a disaster that it is hard to describe. Burning, killing, looting and all kinds of evil were committed. Sometimes entire villages were massacred. These were all seen by the natives. They did not expect that the true face of the Japanese army would be so hateful. Compared to the British army, the most they could do was oppress the people and not give them any money to eat. Occasionally, some women suffer disaster, but they will be compensated afterwards, for fear that the indigenous people will cause trouble. The Japanese army didn’t dare to ignore it at all and gave them money? They are so poor themselves, why should they give them money? If this is all, they can still bear it. After all, the Japanese army's propaganda was that these villages had helped the expeditionary force and were lackeys of the British army to divert their anger. Many indigenous people believed it, especially those in the city, and there was not much change. But the outbreak of an incident allowed the natives to see the true face of the Japanese army. That is the Thai army. That’s right, it’s the Thai army of Siam. In order to prevent Siam from falling into the flames of war, he directly chose to surrender and joined the Japanese army. He even provided a lot of help when the Japanese army attacked Burma. Now that the Japanese army has completely occupied Myanmar, these Thai soldiers, who pride themselves on their achievements and hard work, have seen that the Japanese army is doing well.
Even shifted the conflict to the British army, thinking that he could do it too. In addition, the two sides have a feud and have been invaded by Myanmar many times in history. Now that Myanmar has become a vassal, it is natural that they have other ideas. But the Thai army is not like the Japanese army who only focus on eating and drinking. Siam, like Myanmar, has nothing to worry about when it comes to food and drink, but it also worships Buddhist temples very much. So, they directly focused on the golden Buddha in the temple. Soon a temple suffered a disaster. The monks inside were bloodbathed and all the golden Buddhas were lost. The smart Thai soldiers were not fools. They directly gave half of the golden Buddha they stole to the Japanese army. Those bitter Japanese soldiers looked at the golden Buddha in front of them, their eyes widening. Even though the Japanese army looked majestic, in fact they were also suffering. The melons and dates in their pockets were all sent home to subsidize their families. Can you bear to see these golden Buddhas now?
Also praised the Thai army for doing a good job! For the indigenous people who came to protest, they even pretended not to see it. With the support of the Japanese army, the Thai army will be even more capable. For a time, a large number of Buddhist temples were damaged, many monks were bloodbathed, and the golden Buddhas were robbed. At this time, the natives exploded and the independent volunteers were also stunned. It’s okay for the Japanese army to rob it, after all, they still rely on the Japanese army to maintain their rule. But what is the Thai army on horseback and on horseback? Historically, they have always robbed each other. As a result, the situation is changing now, and I am being robbed by others. Can this be tolerated? So the Thai army suffered another disaster. The troops who went out to rob the temple were ambushed by the volunteers and suffered heavy losses. Even low-level Japanese officers were shot to death. It is not known whether the attack was intentional or whether he was shot in the chaos. But the matter eventually came to the attention of Zhengsan by the river. “Baga, these **** natives.” Don't ask Hebian Zhengsan why he is so angry. It is really because the Thai army gave him too much. There are ten half-meter-high golden Buddhas, which even attracted the attention of Hebian Zhengzo. What's more, another telegram was sent from the base camp, requiring 200,000 tons of rice, 100,000 barrels of oil, hundreds of thousands of tons of pig iron, etc. Seeing this, Kawabe Shozo knew that the base camp had no intention of maintaining the alliance between the two parties.
Thinking about how to exploit Myanmar. There is nothing we can do, and the base camp doesn’t want to either. The Pacific battlefield requires too many troops. This means that the army needs more supplies. Especially the big guys in the Navy. It is impossible to eat rice **** like the army. Their food standards are very high. This gives the base camp a headache. In addition, domestic supplies are also in a stage of scarcity. There is no other choice but to attack those colonies. So, after knowing the meaning of the base camp, Kawabe Shozo accepted this luxurious gift with peace of mind. No matter what, it is true to get it into your own pocket first. Doesn’t he know that if this continues, the natives will become more and more alienated? No! he knows! But he can’t change it! Even if he uses gentle methods to collect food slowly, he will not let the conflicts between the two parties intensify. It’s no use either! First of all, the base camp will not agree to his plan. The country will not have enough to eat. How do you still care about the indigenous people? Can you do it? If you can’t do it, just replace it! There are so many generals in the reserve force, waiting to come out again. Secondly, the slogan used by the Japanese army at the beginning was too good. Save the natives! result! Your food conscription is more ruthless than the British army! We might as well be messing around with the British army if we are riding horses. So, with this unsolvable situation, he could only take advantage of this opportunity to make more money.
“The Imperial Army of the Japanese Empire actually died in the hands of those natives.” Hebian Zhengzo sneered and then shouted. “Tell Aung San to hand over the murderer within a time limit.” “Hai.” … "The little devil couldn't help but attack these natives after all. I thought I could endure it for a few more months." Looking at the information sent by Long Wenwen, Cun Yunsheng was in a very good mood. I originally thought that the little devil could endure it for a while longer, but I didn’t expect that he couldn’t bear it anymore after only a few months. "Tuanzuo, you are still wise. You have mastered the nature of the little devil." Meng Fanxiao said flatteringly. I have to say that Cun Yunsheng has completely seen through the little devil's nature. Meng Fan didn’t expect that it would not be long before he couldn’t help but take action. “Tuanzuo, is this an opportunity for us?” Lin Yi asked doubtfully. "No, we have to wait a little longer. The fire is not hot enough now. We need to add some more firewood to them." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said. Where did this happen? If nothing else, there were still many natives who believed the Japanese army's story. “What are you referring to?” Lin Yi asked in confusion. "It's very simple. Whenever the people of the Independent Volunteer Army turn against the Japanese army, this fire will be enough." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. "Ah? Does Aung San have the courage? Their weapons and equipment are all controlled by the Japanese army." Meng Fan shook his head and said. He felt that with Aung San’s courage, he would definitely not dare to fall out with the Japanese army. "Aung San does not dare, but the same cannot be said for his subordinates. Aung San's interests have not been damaged too seriously, but if the interests of his subordinates are damaged too seriously, they will force Aung San to resist the Japanese army." Cun Yun The student looks very transparent. Now the Japanese army is targeting the indigenous people and only plundering some small temples. But as the ambitions of the Japanese army expand, sooner or later they will start targeting other large temples. Then it will be Aung San’s men’s turn to loot. When their own interests are harmed, that’s when they rebel. “The Japanese army is greedy by nature. As the scale of the war continues to expand, the need for logistical supplies is greater.” “So next, they will definitely impose exorbitant taxes.” “Sun Yunfei’s volunteer team is needed at this time.” Cun Yunsheng said with a smile. "What do you think?" Lin Yi and Meng Fan looked at each other and immediately guessed what the other was thinking and asked quickly. "Yes, let the volunteer team go out. After raising it for so long, it's time to go out. Let him cross the river to find Long Wenwen and follow Long Wenwen's command. I need this fire to become bigger." Cun Yunsheng sneered. With a cry, he randomly told his plan. After hearing Cun Yunsheng’s plan, both of them looked shocked. Unexpectedly, my group dinner has been planned for a long time?
“Tuanzuo, when did you expect today to happen?” Meng Fangliao asked in surprise. “Let’s start from the moment we saved Sun Yunfei.” Cun Yunsheng said calmly. Hearing this, both of them felt that they had been tricked by the other party again. However, they admired it very much. A few months ago, they could predict the direction of the war in a few months? "Don't be surprised. As long as you think carefully about the Japanese army, you will know that a small country has millions of troops and a huge navy. How can it support itself if it doesn't rely on plunder?" Cun Yunsheng knew the reason for their surprise, so explained with a smile. “Do you really think that the Japanese army will develop Burma under the banner of co-prosperity?” “For the Japanese army, what can the British army do? Why can’t we do it?” “I understand.” The two people responded at the same time. Sun Yunfei, who received the order on the other side, immediately took a battalion of volunteers, crossed the river from the lower reaches, and headed for the destination to join Long Wenwen. At this moment, the support team has grown to over a thousand people, but they are basically all rookies who have never fought in a war. Therefore, he has no objection to Cun Yunsheng's proposal that Long Wenwen be responsible for commanding. Besides this, they carried a company of British weapons. Sun Yunfei was originally confused as to why he carried so many weapons, but Cun Yunsheng's words suddenly made him realize. The resistance is not fierce enough and needs to be heated up. These weapons are hot oil. Something that can make the Japanese army furious and the natives ecstatic. "Company Commander Long." Seeing Long's article, Sun Yunfei lowered his posture. Long Wenwen didn't care about this. Originally, his mission was to conduct complex reconnaissance of Lashio's intelligence, but the sudden uprising of the indigenous people gave him a glimmer of a fighter opportunity. But many people in his special agent company don't know much about Aboriginal languages. Even though I have studied very hard, the study time is still too short. Now with the help of people from the volunteer team, Long Wenzhu will become easier. “Why are you bringing so many weapons?” Long Wenwen asked in surprise when he saw the opponent had two rifles per person. “The regimental commander’s order said that if you encounter people from the Volunteer Army, you can give these weapons to them. Anyway, it will make the matter bigger.” Sun Yunfei scratched his head and said. Hearing this, Long Wenwen was stunned for a moment, and then he understood Cun Yunsheng's good intentions. This is really wilting. I have to say that this move is really effective. “Company Commander, there is a Japanese detachment in the village ahead collecting food.” At this time, his subordinates came over to report. “Let’s go over and kill them.” After Long Wenwen heard this, he immediately issued an attack order. A detachment can be easily eliminated by the members of the special agent company.
But for the volunteer team who have never fought in a war, it is a good training opportunity. So this time, Long Wenwen was in charge of the command, and the special agent company was in charge of holding down the formation and guarding the periphery. The main attack is carried out by people from the volunteer team. The battle began quickly. I have to say that the soldiers of the volunteer team who went to the battlefield for the first time were very panicked. All kinds of ridiculous actions made the people in the secret service company shake their heads. "What's so funny? It's your first time on the battlefield. You're not necessarily much better than others." Long Wenwen glared. Sun Yunfei next to him was also a little embarrassed. Even though their training results were good, when they actually went to the battlefield, they found that they were completely different. Among other things, the captain of the Japanese army saw that the attacking troops were not very strong in combat effectiveness, and they were still holding British troops. They guessed that they were independent volunteers, and they were overflowing with sympathy and attacked them. Part of the volunteers were equipped with weapons provided by the Japanese army, and some used British-made weapons, so the Japanese army never thought about the Sichuan Army Corps on the opposite side. After all, the strength of the Sichuan Army is obvious to all. How could there be such a good soldier? So I decided to give them an unforgettable lesson. "Use mortars, otherwise, you guys will be the targets of the little devils." Long Wenwen looked at it for a while and couldn't help but shake his head. In just this moment, a dozen soldiers were knocked down, while the Japanese army only lost one person. Such a huge battle loss ratio reminded Long Wenwen of the past. "Is it so bad?" Sun Yunfei's originally swollen heart was sobered by the slap of the Japanese army. “There is no big problem with tactical movements. The main reason is that I have no experience. It is clear that a soldier can be quickly added to that position so that the firepower will not be interrupted.” “But, look at your men, their reaction is very slow and they can’t tell where the bullets came from. They are running around. What are they if they are not targets?” Long Wenwen shook his head and pointed into the distance. Hearing Long Wenwen's words, Sun Yunfei suddenly fell silent. Because he found that everything Long Wenwen said was right! "Don't think so much. You can become an elite just by training without going through the training of blood and fire?" “Then the troops from all over the world are elite.” Long Wenwen sneered. Although most of the people in the Sichuan Army were cannon fodder, they were defeated. But if anyone can survive from cannon fodder, they all have strong abilities. As long as they undergo systematic training and are equipped with powerful weapons, the explosive combat effectiveness will be extremely terrifying. Especially Cun Yunsheng’s mouth is very good at deceiving people. So much so that the morale of the Sichuan Army has always been very high. "Yes, I understand." Sun Yunfei responded honestly.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Following the order, the mortars that had been prepared blasted towards the Japanese positions. “Baga, why are there still mortars?” The Japanese commander was confused. Why are there still mortars? In order to firmly control Aung San's volunteers, the equipment they donated were mainly light weapons. Like the artillery, the control is tight. After all, the Japanese army themselves did not have many artillery pieces. Who would have known that the volunteer army in front of us even had mortars. “Your Excellency, Sergeant, retreat immediately.” His subordinate immediately suggested. "Baga, withdraw." The Japanese commander looked at the supplies in the distance with some regret. Fortunately, I put some of the gold I looted in my pocket. As long as I can go back, it’s not a big loss. At the same time, he secretly made up his mind to report the situation here when he returned. Those volunteers must be severely punished. Didn’t you just rob something? You have been robbed by the British army for hundreds of years, haven't you ever resisted? How long have we been robbing? The reaction was so big? These **** natives! “It’s my man’s turn.” Seeing the Japanese troops trying to escape, Long Wenwen shook his head and waved his hand. Da da da! The soldiers of the special agent company who had already arrived behind the Japanese army pulled the triggers one after another. "Baga...Why are there rice and animal weapons?" The Japanese commander did not understand it until the moment of his death. I’m too lazy, so I wrote two chapters in one breath while I was still in good condition, so I could sleep a little longer at noon. I don’t get enough sleep every day, and the dark circles under my eyes are getting worse!
