Age of Rebirth

The first thousand and 150 chapters and three anxious Americans

The Commander-in-Chief of Japan’s Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force, General Ito Yanzaburo, issued to all his troops the principle of "three do's and don'ts" to maintain a stable situation in front of the Libao defense line. Division troops.

Just tell the soldiers of the Imperial Japanese Army that they can't fight back when they are beaten or scolded, and the officers and soldiers of the Japanese army at all levels, especially the lower-level officers, who have forgotten the pain after their scars are healed, are very dissatisfied with Commander-in-Chief Ito's ban. The samurai of the Great Japanese Empire, when have they ever been so useless? We would rather meet the son of the Chinese and die with honor than live like this!

As a result, some fanatical Bushido elements incited hundreds of junior officers and soldiers to petition in front of the headquarters. As soon as Ito heard the guards finished talking about what happened outside, he flew into a rage. Make trouble yourself.

Although the base camp did not discount it, and agreed to all his requests, Ito was surprised, surprised, and deeply moved. But then, a letter from a close friend of the military department revealed the faction inside the base camp. Moreover, several bigwigs in the army sent him secret letters one after another. The ardent hopes and expectations in them, as well as the undisguised accusations, put Ito under a lot of pressure. [

After the arrival of the domestic supplement, if I still can't defeat Tang Qiuli and calm down the situation in the Indochina Peninsula, not only will I fail His Majesty's mighty grace, but I will not be able to gain a foothold in the military. If the high-ranking bosses don't throw themselves into the [-]th floor of hell after losing their face, they will have an explanation to the army.

Therefore, Ito does not want to start a war with Tang Qiuli's troops lightly under the current situation. The reason is very simple. His side is temporarily at a disadvantage. But these warriors with simple minds, well-developed limbs, and muscular heads did not understand their painstaking efforts, and the voices clamoring to take the initiative to attack were rampant.

Originally, Ito didn't pay much attention to these arguments. On the contrary, he was secretly happy that his subordinates had such morale, but today, these guys are making too much trouble, and the impact is extremely bad. If their stupid behavior leads to The troops were out of control in their pursuit of war, and Ito himself could not sing against all the officers and soldiers, which was bound to destroy his plan.

What makes Ito even more angry is that he just didn't take the initiative to attack. Confronting Tang Qiuli's troops also gave the troops a chance to recuperate. If you don't understand, what great things can be accomplished with your passion.

Ito knows better that the imperial army, especially the army, has a tradition of subduing superiors. If there are so many officers who lead troops and take the initiative to attack the troops of the independent division, it will be a disaster for the imperial southeast Asian dispatch army Sexual consequences, Tang Qiuli and Chen Bing have hundreds of thousands of soldiers. If they don't launch an attack at the northern foot of the Libao Grand Canyon, they will naturally not be merciful to their subordinates, but have another conspiracy. This is their own buffer time.

With anger, Ito hurried out of the gate of the general headquarters, followed by a large group of senior officers. Seeing Ito coming out, the leading junior officers became even more emotional, and shouted straight up: "Your Excellency, our empire!" Samurai, I ask for your permission to fight to the death with the Chinese army, and to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, even though it is a pity to die!"

Hundreds of people shouted together: "Fight to the death, even though it is a pity to die!" It was very tragic. Ito did not speak, but scanned the officers and soldiers who were obviously oversecreting male hormones with eyes full of coercion and gloomy .

Seeing that the commander-in-chief did not respond, several junior officers became more emotional. They took out a sharp knife and slashed their wrists severely. , Complementing each other, Ito walked up to a leading major with a straight face, slowly drew out his saber, and slowly raised it above his head.

Under the sunlight, the saber shone with a penetrating coldness. Everyone's eyes were focused on the saber Ito held high. The scene froze for a moment. Holding Ito's wrist, he said in a low voice: "General, please control your anger, the military spirit cannot be violated, please think twice!"

Ito calmed down, and with a flash of cold light, the saber he held high fell on a small tree next to him. The small tree, which was as thick as a rolling pin, fell down in response. His blood turned into cold sweat. He believed that General Ito would definitely cut off his head.

Ito slowly put the general sword into its sheath, and said in a cold tone: "Anyone who dares to speak out easily, is in the same position as this tree, and ordered the gendarmerie to immediately confine all the officers and soldiers who participated in the petition, and the officers were demoted by one rank. , the soldiers will be fined with military pay for three months, and each person will be beaten with a military stick according to the third level of violation of military regulations.

A turmoil within the Japanese army was suppressed by Ito with thunderous means. For a long time after that, the Japanese army did not take any action. Naturally, Tang Qiuli would not know about the farce that occurred within the Japanese army. However, he From the uncharacteristically quiet Japanese army, there was a hint of conspiracy.

At the Wubin Frontline Headquarters of the Independent Division, at the military meeting of all officers above the regiment level, hundreds of people gathered together. Tang Qiuli said: "The Japanese army guarding Libao is unprecedentedly quiet. This is not normal. This also shows that Ito It is recovering, waiting for support and supplements from the Japanese mainland, and once Ito recovers, he will implement the established plan to capture Myitkyina and northern Myanmar."

The officers present at the meeting all agreed with the division commander's analysis, but they all had a question. Since they had judged the plan of the old devil Ito, why not break through the Japanese army's defense line of Libao in one fell swoop while the Japanese army had not recovered. Taking advantage of the situation, the so-called "take advantage of his illness and kill him," it is much easier and easier to beat Ito at this time than to wait for the little devil to recover his strength, right?

Tang Qiuli saw the officers' doubts, smiled slightly, and then said: "Our eyes should not only be on the Indochina Peninsula, but on the entire Southeast Asia. This mad dog Ito will not only bite us, It will also bite other people, so, as far as the current situation is concerned, Ito can't be killed, just need to scare him away, he will go to other places to bite people."

"So, our troops on the front line of Wubin only need to maintain a strong pressure, let Ito feel fear, and scare him away." Tang Qiuli can only say so much to his subordinates. In fact, within the Independent Division In terms of fighting, the emotion of seeking war is stronger than those officers and soldiers of the Japanese army who are full of bushido spirit.

In the battle of Wubin, the little devil vomited blood. As long as there is another large-scale attack, the little devil will be finished. But at this most critical and smoothest time, the teacher suddenly called a stop, saying these things It is impossible for the brigade commanders to have no complaints in their hearts, but there is no petition like the Japanese army did.

But in private, officers at all levels, whether it is directly under the corps or the Sulu mobile corps, complained and said strange things, Tang Qiuli also heard a lot, so today's military meeting is equivalent to a situation briefing , As for how much the officers understand, it depends on the individual's understanding.

The person who can be a regiment-level commander in each corps of the Independent Division is not a person who can turn his head around and understand a little bit. The brigade commanders smiled knowingly. Chu Ziye grinned and turned to Ren Zhaoquan. I blinked my eyes and understood in my heart, "The teacher's words are vivid. Aren't Ito and his ghost soldiers just a group of mad dogs? They have already bitten the British, and they have bitten them to death. Who will be bitten next?" , isn't that obvious!" [

He forgot that after he received the order to stop the attack, it was time to jump up and get angry. Ren Zhaoquan squinted at Chu Ziye, leaned his head over, and said in a low voice: "Brigade Commander Chu, call the headquarters again to ask for a fight! "Chu Ziye blushed.

In late July, Li Honggang's No.20 Ninth Corps, which entered Burma from the Fujian Defense Area, arrived at the Ubin front line. Tang Qiuli, Tang Qiusheng, and Chang Feng personally went to Degang, north of Ubin, to welcome the The former chief of staff of the independent division who hadn't met, and the current Lieutenant General of the No.20 Ninth Corps, Li Honggang said to Tang Qiuli as soon as he met, half-jokingly.

"Master, Deputy Commander Tang has already resolved the crisis situation in northern Myanmar. You issued several orders in a row. Our No. 20 Ninth Corps arrived day and night, but there was nothing to do. Commander, let's arrange tasks for our Corps! Or, close I can't explain to 10 people what to eat."

Li Honggang's words are somewhat sour. They are also the main corps of the Independent Division. Except for Liu Tiehan's troops in the Northeast, all the others have entered Burma. Disappointed, but also resentful in my heart, seeing other corps fighting in full swing in Myanmar, Li Honggang, the former head of the first detachment of the Blood Hands, couldn't help but feel a little left out.

Tang Qiuli saw Li Honggang's thoughts, and said with a smile: "Commander Li, you came from a long way, and you didn't win a battle, so you don't feel very comfortable. Why do I smell a sour smell?" Including Li Honggang, everyone Everyone burst into laughter.

Li Honggang's No.20 Ninth Corps arrived at the front line of Wubin, bringing the independent division's strength on this front to three main regiments, close to 50 troops. Ito slowly felt relieved when he didn't see the independent division troops launching any form of attack on him.

The Japanese are relieved, but some people are anxious. Across the South China Sea, the South Pacific region, Luzon Island, Mindanao Island, Malaysia and Indonesia, the Americans in their traditional sphere of influence, are jumping in a hurry, especially in Southeast Asia and the United States. The commander-in-chief of the South Pacific region, MacArthur's four-star general, was full of anger in a hurry.
