All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

What does it take to fight a war?
money.

What is gold?
money.

The gold was robbed, which was equivalent to Chen Hao's life.

The army aviation team formed by three straight nines was ordered to take off, and immediately went to the scene of the incident to investigate and search, vowing to find out and kill the enemy who robbed the gold.

At the same time, the Sichuan Army Corps held an emergency meeting.

before the meeting.

Long Wenwen was called by Chen Hao alone.

"Your brain is muddled, gold is so important, you let the British escort?"

"Those grandsons are out of tune, and they have been dealing with each other for so long, don't you know?!"

Without outsiders, Chen Hao didn't save him the slightest bit of face, and bowed Long Wenwen's head like a gray grandson who did something wrong.

More than 500 catties of gold, one catty is worth 5000, worth more than [-] million.

Add some more money and you can buy another helicopter.

Chen Hao was furious, the loss of gold was one aspect, and Long Wenwen's failure to do things in place was the main factor of his anger.

I have always felt that Long Wenwen is a very useful helper.

When Chen Hao left this world, he also entrusted the Sichuan Army Corps to him.

With such a big mistake, Long Wenwen failed Chen Hao's trust.Chen Hao's lungs were about to explode, and he stared at him fiercely, waiting for him to give an explanation.

The storm with spittle stars has passed.

Long Wenwen wiped his face, and explained sincerely: "Tuan Zuo, I didn't think carefully about this matter. Later, when the troops were sufficient, I also forgot to take over the matter of escorting the gold.

I also didn't expect that the Japanese army would move so fast. It was not good to fight, but they had to fight for gold. "

He concluded that it was the ghosts of the Japanese.

The two groups of British who escorted the gold were one of the non-staff troops of the Sichuan Army.

The main ingredients are the British soldiers from the original gold mine airport and the British soldiers who were later rescued from the prisoner camp.

Although the fighting power of the British guy is not very good, but not everyone can bully.

Twenty people are equipped with light machine guns and [-] automatic rifles. Even if they encounter a hundred or so bandits or the Imperial Association Army, they can completely survive.

As a result, the entire army was wiped out, and there was no time to withdraw.

Such an organized and premeditated ambush can only be done by well-trained Japanese troops.

Hearing Long Wenwen's explanation, Chen Hao's anger dissipated a little, and he frowned and fell into thought.

There is indeed reason to suspect that the Japanese army did it, but other organizational forces cannot be ruled out. After all, five hundred catties of gold is a lot of money.

Wealth moves people.

No one is doing the business of losing money, and the business of beheading is rushing to do it.

Those daring guys don't think your Sichuan Army is powerful.

The signal soldier knocked on the door: "Report, the latest news from the Gold Mine Airport."

After reading the inspection report, Chen Hao's face changed slightly: "Your judgment is correct, it was indeed done by the Japanese army."

Judging from the traces left at the scene, there are traces of grenadiers and [-] large covers, which are iconic Japanese weapons.

The parts of the British shot were mainly concentrated in the chest and head.

It is in line with the fact that Japanese soldiers generally have better marksmanship.

Long Wenwen thought about it, and solemnly reminded: "Tuan Zuo, this is the Japanese army fighting against us.

It is not a big army marching with great fanfare, but a small group of troops infiltrating and harassing and attacking. The war has already begun. "

Chen Hao nodded: "That's right, we suffered a loss, we need to make corresponding coping strategies."

The beginning of war is never rigid in form.

There are public opinion wars that affect people's hearts, and intelligence wars on the underground front.

Sneak attacks belong to the consistent style of the Japanese army, such as September [-], Marco Polo Bridge, and Pearl Harbor.

It seems to be itchy all over if you don't take advantage of it.

Fighting openly and aboveboard will only become the execution strategy of the Japanese army when it is a last resort.

In the combat conference room, the senior cadres of the Sichuan Army gathered together.

There are more than [-] battalion commanders, staff officers, and regimental staff officers in total, and the lowest rank is major.

Of course, the cap is the colonel who is the head of the regiment.

"Team seat."

Everyone stood up straight and paid attention in unison.

"Sit down, everyone sit down." Chen Hao signaled everyone to sit down, and after they were seated, he asked the staff officer Wang Yunshan to introduce the situation.

The team transporting gold was attacked by the Japanese army, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for everyone who had been peaceful for more than ten days.

Everyone smelled the cloud of war.

After the introduction, Chen Hao glanced at the people on both sides of the long table: "If you have any opinions, please tell me."

"You bastard, Xiao Dongyang is playing tricks, and if you don't talk about martial arts and sneak attacks, we have to retaliate and dig out Xiao Dongyang's ass."

Seeing that other people didn't speak up, it was very active to take the initiative to fight.

Last time, their third battalion didn't win many battles, and it basically became an armed parade. Now the troops' tanks and infantry fighting vehicles have been replenished.

When he couldn't beat Xiao Dongyang, he didn't want to fight, but if he could beat Xiao Dongyang, why hesitate?
I am so hungry and thirsty that I want to fight.

Meng Fanlai knew what Chen Hao was thinking, and was afraid that other people would be emotionally aroused by Bu Lai, so they all clamored for war.

Meng got annoyed and quickly expressed his opinion, turning the topic back to the original way.

"I don't think this attack will be an isolated phenomenon. Our Sichuan Army has no rear area, and there is room for enemy activities in all directions.

It is very likely that the enemy will send many such teams to attack our team everywhere, causing sabotage and chaos. "

As Chen Hao's adjutant, Meng was annoyed. He often accompanied Chen Hao to convey Chen Hao's orders, and was regarded by everyone as the mouthpiece of the group.

The opinion he expresses is the will of the group.

Following the direction Meng Fanle pointed out, everyone couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

There are not many areas controlled by the Sichuan Legion, the base camp of the Gold Mine Airport, the wharf storage area on the Ruibo Plain, and the central city of Mandalay.

The three areas are connected in series by the Burma Road, three points and one line, and the control area is long and narrow.

From the northernmost Goldfield Airport to the southernmost Mandalay, on the 150-kilometer-long Burma Highway, there is at least [-] kilometers for the guerrillas to take advantage of loopholes and carry out ambushes and sneak attacks.

Milong said carelessly: "Then send armed infantry escorts. Machine guns sweep away the shells and explode them. The guerrillas don't have anti-tank weapons. If they dare to ambush, they will die."

His point of view immediately got a voice of approval.

"That's right, the escorting gold transport team, assuming there is an infantry tank, the enemy can't do anything with them."

"We have quite a large infantry fighting vehicle, and we have sent one or two companies to the various transport teams. There is no problem at all."

The actual combat effect of the Type [-] infantry chariot was obvious to all, and everyone gave advice.

How to take advantage of the advantages of the infantry fighting vehicle to ensure the transportation channel, someone proposed to take the opportunity to lure the enemy to ambush before the infantry fighting vehicle appeared, and hit a wave severely.

Lin Yi, who is in charge of logistics, expressed a different opinion:
"I think it should be completely wiped out, because on the long road, the enemy doesn't even have to take the initiative to show up. It only needs to plant some landmines on the road from time to time, and our transport team will be greatly damaged."

Immediately there were objections.

"How can it be possible to completely wipe out?"

"When people hide in the jungle, where do you go to find them? After killing a batch, another batch will emerge, and the Japanese army can replenish them at any time. It is impossible to kill."

Jungle fighting is as difficult as street fighting.

The infantry battalion commanders who had suffered before felt that it was a nightmare in retrospect, let alone actively fell into it.

The commander of the transport battalion who was in charge of two hundred trucks immediately became unhappy.

Thinking about the fact that the transport soldiers under him are bombed by landmines every day, the men under them will definitely complain that the transport tasks cannot be completed after losing too many vehicles.

Their transport battalion must be the biggest victim of the Japanese guerrilla warfare.

Seeing the two parties arguing with different views, Chen Hao felt very disobedient, as if he was caught in a security war in Iraq, and he had to be careful of roadside bombs wherever he went.

and also,

The Japanese army, which had always engaged in large corps operations, played guerrilla warfare.

Did they learn from the Eighth Route Army?
It is completely inconsistent with the tone of the Japanese army.

Chen Hao couldn't help thinking about what the Japanese army was up to.

Noticing that the group seat was absent-minded, Long Wenwen waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and the quarreling conference room fell into silence.

After a long time, the corners of Chen Hao's mouth turned up in a flash of inspiration, feeling very happy for his conjecture.

Everyone was baffled, what did the group members think of so happy?
Chen Hao came back to his senses, smiled and said to more than 20 pairs of eyes seeking knowledge:
"Our ancestors told us that if we know ourselves and our enemy, we will never be imperiled in a hundred battles. Do you know our opponent, Shojiro Iida, the commander of the No.15 Japanese army?"

That must be known.

The opponent of the Sichuan Army is no longer a division commander, only the [-]th Army is worthy.

Thanks to Yasumoto Taro and others who surrendered, the intelligence of a series of high-level Japanese commanders such as Iida Shojiro has been known to them.

Although only superficial.

But Chen Hao has more in-depth information about this person, and he knows more about him than just the middle-level officer Anyuan Taro.

After all, a major, how would he know how much the lieutenant general is on top of him.

The difference between the two is four levels, and they seldom meet each other on weekdays.

According to Chen Hao's understanding, Shojiro Iida's greatest skill is his ability to "reincarnate".

Sounds like a joke.

The fact is, many things are born with, there are.

No, there are few opportunities in that lifetime.

Iida Shojiro's father was the Japanese Baron Toshisuke Iida Lieutenant General in the Army. He once participated in the Russo-Japanese War and made great achievements.

As the second son of this military family, he defeated 90.00% of his peers at birth.

Therefore, Iida Shojiro began to receive kendo training while his peers were playing mud in the field.

Received a good education since childhood, and graduated from the 20th term of the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy.

I have to say that having a good father is awesome.

In the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy, Shojiro Iida was in the same period as Shimomura Sada, Yoshimoto Teiichi, Kimura Heutaro, Ushijima Man and others.

Subsequently, Shojiro Iida continued his studies in the 27th term of the Japanese Army University.

And Naozaburo Okabe, Shozo Kawabe, Hideki Tojo, Jun Imamura, Masaharu Honma, Rensuke Isoya, Isamu Yokoyama became classmates in the same period.

Take a look at these classmates of Iida Shojiro, they are the backbone of the Japanese commanders in World War II.

The major generals are not good enough, and the good ones have become generals.

Of course, Shojiro Iida, who has a deep background, is not bad himself.

After graduation, he began to serve as a staff officer and instructor in various grassroots Japanese army units, and once visited Europe as a class member of the Japanese Military Affairs Bureau.

At that time, according to the consistent promotion ideas of the Japanese military, these experiences of Shojiro Iida were the precursors of being promoted and reused.

After graduating in [-], he came to the Huaxia battlefield in [-] and directly served as the chief of staff of the Japanese First Army and was awarded the rank of major general.

In less than 23 years, military school graduates became major generals.

Absolutely Roman, promoted by plane.

Less than a year after being gilded in the First Army, Shojiro Iida became the commander of the brigade.

After the pace of the Japanese army's full-scale invasion of China accelerated, Iida Shojiro led his troops to cooperate with the Japanese navy to capture Hainan Island.

This kind of performance can be said to be quite satisfactory, and there is nothing outstanding.

But the family relationship is not ordinary, and a little credit can become a big credit.

Therefore, in [-], Iida Shojiro was successfully promoted to a lieutenant general of the Japanese army, and at the same time served as the head of the Japanese guard division.

The "Guards" are the emperor's direct troops, and ordinary generals don't get this kind of treatment.

Everyone was engrossed in hearing this, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: "It's really different from people. It's going smoothly for a lifetime, and it's completely treated by Tianlong people. It's enviable to hear it."

Suddenly someone asked:

"Tanza, are you saying that Shojiro Iida is a fool and nothing to worry about?"

As soon as he said this, many people felt that it made sense.

They know very little about Japanese people with strong backgrounds and good backgrounds, but there are many children from bureaucratic families in the local area, and everyone has heard of them.

Putting it in other positions is nothing more than corruption and extravagance, which is not bad in comparison.

There's nothing worse than being in the lead.

One general was incompetent and killed the three armies. I don't know how many soldiers died.

Anyone who mentions it is disgusted from the heart.

Of course, if the idiot officer is the enemy, it would be great, and it is not too much to celebrate.

It's a pity they were happy too early.

"Shojiro Iida is not an idiot, and an idiot can't be the commander of the [-]th Army." Chen Hao shook his head and sighed.

This is not random speculation, it is supported by war evidence.

Shojiro Iida is not a reckless man, he is quite politically minded and will use tricks to outwit him.

Before attacking British Burma, his primary goal was Siam, which was later renamed Thailand.

At that time, Siam was a neutral country, and the Japanese army attacked and landed, and there was no defense force on the coastline.

The Japanese armed men easily boarded the shore, and under the leadership of the local Japanese consul, they went straight to the local police station.

Shojiro Iida asked the front intelligence officer to try to bribe the local Siamese police with money, asking for a way for the Japanese army to surprise the British troops stationed on the border between Siam and Malaya.

Is this an idea that normal people can come up with?

The army has all moved into the city, saying that it is an excuse to deceive people as fools.

The Siamese police responded with heavy gunfire, telling Iida Shojiro that there is a price to be paid for cheating.

Near Dongwuan Airport outside Bangkok, several Japanese spies who were going to Bangkok to find out the truth were also killed by Siamese soldiers and civilians.

However, despite the resistance of the Siamese military and civilians to the Japanese aggression, Iida Shojiro shrewdly resolved the resistance of the Siamese high-level.

Under the intimidation and lure of Shojiro Iida, the then Prime Minister of Siam, Luang Phibun Kansong, ordered the whole country of Siam to stop resistance, and signed the "Japan-Thailand Offensive and Defensive Alliance Treaty" with Japan.

In this way, Iida Shojiro's [-]th Army took Siam almost without bloodshed, and used it as a springboard to attack the British Burmese army.

Then when he attacked Burma, he repeated the same trick.

After the Japanese army successfully occupied Yangon, Shojiro Iida ordered the release of Dr. Bhamo, a Burmese politician, and "tied" him to the throne of Myanmar's prime minister.

Shojiro Iida wanted this pro-Japanese Burmese puppet government to help him achieve twice the result with half the effort and get what he couldn't get on the battlefield.

Afterwards, he could concentrate on dealing with the British army, thereby cutting off the only land line of communication between China and the allies: the Burma Road.

The combat effectiveness of the British army is too scumbag, and it is not an opponent of the Japanese army at all.

The reinforcements brought by the British, the [-] Chinese Expeditionary Army, became Shojiro Iida's next opponent.

He directed this battle well.

Use a part of the Japanese army to contain the main force of the expeditionary force, and then send a reinforced division to sneak a long-distance attack, and seize the rear base of the expeditionary force, Lashio, in one fell swoop.

And the expeditionary force that was cut off from the rear was like having no supplies of food, grass and ammunition. They couldn't sustain continuous combat at all, and began to waver across the board.

This way of cutting off the logistics is quite the essence of Boss Cao's sneak attack on Wuchao.

Counting the experience of this person commanding operations, there is no doubt that he is a very cunning and intelligent commander who likes to use his strength to fight.

Against this kind of enemy with [-] minds, if you think less, you will be killed.

Suddenly someone asked: "Tuan Zuo, is it a conspiracy for the enemy to send out a small group of troops to sabotage?"

Chen Hao shook his head: "No, it's just that they have nothing to do."

"???"

Everyone was even more puzzled when they heard it. The enemy commander said that he looked very intelligent, and he would fight guerrilla warfare as soon as he made a move.

How can it be said that there is no way!
