Age of Rebirth

The words of Kawashima, Chief of Staff of Japan’s Southeast Asian Dispatch Army, probably surprised Ito. His eyes lit up, and he urged eagerly, “Kawashima-san, please speak, I am all ears.”

Kawashima said: "Commander-in-Chief, my solution is to recruit all the adult men among the Burmese in Yangon City to form a new Burmese Volunteer Team to assist the Royal Army in defending the city. , 45 to 10 years old, in this way, we can add several [-] people out of thin air, which is a force that cannot be ignored.”

Ito leaned back, hummed disdainfully, and murmured in his heart: "I thought it was a clever way, just pay attention to this bullshit? Those Burmese who have not received any military training are placed in the imperial army. On the contrary, it has reduced the combat effectiveness of the troops, besides, these inferior Burmese, when the time comes, if they strike back again, wouldn’t the imperial army ask for bad luck?”

Ito knows too well. After the imperial army of the Japanese Empire occupied Yangon, what did the soldiers of the imperial army do to these Burmese people, breaking in, looting money, and raping women? People hate the soldiers of the imperial army deeply. The Burmese hate the Chinese and hate the Japanese even more. "

Seeing Ito's disdainful expression, Kawashima didn't care. He was confident that His Excellency the General would be interested, and then said: "The Burmese Volunteer Team does not form an army alone. After simple military training for them, they are randomly assigned to the Emperor Among the various units of the army, each squad should be supplemented with five to eight people. In this way, in the combat units of the imperial army squad, the ratio of imperial soldiers to Burmese volunteers is five to one, even if the Burmese If you retreat or turn against the enemy, the imperial army can quickly deal with it.”[

Hearing this, Ito figured out what it was like, and sat up straight. "Mr. Kawashima, please continue!" Kawashima continued: "We don't expect the Burmese Volunteer Team to be able to repel the attack of the Independent Division, only when the battle occurs. Let these people rush to the forefront, the emperor Soldiers of the Burmese Army are relatively safe, as long as members of the Burmese Volunteer Team are killed by soldiers of the Independent Division, it will arouse their hatred of the Chinese.”

Kawashima's words, when it came to this, Ito fully understood and was completely convinced.I can't wait to keep Kawashima for a few mouthfuls. His head looks so damn valuable, it's not as stupid as that Nomura, pig. The idea is right, and Ito has perfected the details based on Kawashima's method.For example, members of the Burmese Volunteer Team can be related by blood.In a team.

As for the language barrier, poor command, and the inability to carry out the imperial army's intentions, Ito's method is more direct. The bayonet and the son can explain all the problems. Burmese can't understand Japanese, and can't understand the attitude of the imperial army?

The son was beaten to death by the Chinese, as a father, can he not take revenge desperately?No need to mobilize.The Burmese themselves will find soldiers from the Independent Division to fight desperately. Similarly, if the elder brother or the younger brother is lying at his feet covered in blood, the result will be the same. The more they discuss, the more excited they become.It was decided that Chief of Staff Kawashima would be solely responsible for this matter.

After talking about the business, Ito and Kawashima felt relaxed, as if they had unloaded a heavy burden. The series of dismal emotions in the morning were swept away. Taking advantage of the mood, they asked for food and drinks, and they drank to the point of getting drunk. If you are in a good mood, you will naturally think about doing other things, otherwise, it will not be complete. The two each hugged a coquettish female officer, waved their hands and feet to say goodbye, went into the room, and went to enjoy themselves.

Ito and Kawashima racked their brains to find a way. In contrast, Tang Qiuli was at ease and felt that there was something to do. Brother Qiusheng was in charge of the battle command and he didn't have to worry about it. The directly subordinate corps was commanded by Chang Feng. Li Honggang was a single-handed fighter, and the only thing he was worried about was the safety of Chutian Hawkeye's team.

Tang Qiuli also considered whether to let Chu Tian and the others withdraw from Yangon City, and consulted several generals. Everyone agreed that the danger of withdrawing now was greater than continuing to lurk. According to the Hawkeye team's final It was judged by a telegram that the Japanese army in Yangon City stepped up their search, and the wind was getting tighter. When it surfaced at this time, it was tantamount to being exposed to the guns of the Japanese army. After comprehensively weighing the pros and cons, I agree with everyone's opinions.

The battle situation in Yangon was in a relatively stable state for the time being. Tang Qiuli was waiting for the Japanese reinforcements. There was nothing to do. He took Liu Xinlan every day to visit the mountains, rivers, temples and scenic spots near Yangon. Historic sites are nothing more than hunting in the mountains and enjoying picnics. Tang Qiuli's barbecue skills have conquered Liu Xinlan. This is the most relaxed and leisurely time since he sent troops to Burma.

During this period of time, the relationship between the two has undergone a fundamental change. Tang Qiuli has enjoyed a great fortune. Except for the girl who has not yet broken through the last test, her body has been touched all over by his pair of Lushan claws. However, Liu Xinlan was not ashamed and annoyed as before, and she was more or less pandering to her halfway.

Tang Qiuli's heart seems to have returned to the northeast of his hometown, playing with his friends in the forests and mountains, the years between the white mountains and the black waters, the battlefield of blood and fire, and the passionate time of youth emerge from the depths of his memory. , Accompanying him is the first lover in his life, giving him the illusion of going back in time.

In memory, with nostalgia and sentimentality, wandering between the past and reality, southern Myanmar in November is still full of greenery, except for a few yellow leaves that occasionally fall, and the maple leaves are turning red at a few points in the green bushes. The sun is still bright and warm during the day, and I don’t feel that it is already early winter. In my hometown, at this time, the wind is howling and the snow is fluttering.

Tang Qiuli knew that he had merged Liu Xinlan and Xiaoling into one in his heart, and he knew better that this was very unfair to Liu Xinlan. No woman wanted to be in a man's heart. A substitute for a woman, but he often couldn't tell whether it was Liu Xinlan or Xiaoling who was holding him in his arms.

This feeling is very uncomfortable. Seeing Liu Xinlan's happy appearance, he couldn't bear to tell all his inner thoughts to this innocent girl who loves him. Maybe, doing this is more cruel, but he is not The right time to speak, yesterday, my wife Mei Ting in Dingbian, and Mei Xue who stayed in Kunming, received letters almost at the same time.

Mei Ting's letter was still the same as before, with ardent concern and deep concern. Like the elder sister, she told him to pay attention to this and that. Looking at Mei Ting's letter, Tang Qiuli's heart was more peaceful, especially for him. What made him happy was that Mei Ting told him in the letter that their little baby was about to be born in a month or so. With the care of both parents, don't worry about anything!

Mei Xue's letter is full of lovesickness, hot and crazy, "Qiu Li, my love, it's been more than two months since I left Kunming. During the day, I'm busy with work and it's easy to pass the time. At night, I'm back The residence where we left our memories, under the lights, everything remains the same, but without you, everything will be meaningless."

"Every night, I fall asleep surrounded by your breath, and often wake up from the dream with a smile. I know that you are not by my side, but I don't want to open my eyes. I would rather be immersed in a dreamlike feeling. Only then do I know that missing is so important. Hard work, in Kunming, I can often see all kinds of victory news on the front line in Yangon, and the man I love is talked about by everyone, almost like a god."

"In this regard, I am proud and proud, because the general who has won all battles is my husband, everything is fine here, don't worry about me, of course, I have to work hard, otherwise, I will be left behind by you , Tang Qiuli's wife should also be beyond ordinary people, shouldn't she? By the way, without my care by your side, life must be a mess, right?"

"Warning, don't take advantage of the fact that my sister and I are not around, and find another person to take care of you. Just kidding, even if there are other girls around my husband, it is normal. Well, just write these , look forward to the day of reunion with you, come soon, love your wife Mei Xue, Cao and Kunming residence on November [-]th."

Tang Qiuli did not carry Liu Xinlan's back, and this is not something to hide. After reading the letters from the two wives, Tang Qiuli's heart is filled with sweetness and warmth. At the same time, there are also some worries. Mei Xue's jokes are unfortunately right. In the past few days, if I am not with Liu Xinlan, I am not thinking of leaving. Of course, Mei Ting and Mei Xue both know about their past in the Northeast. [

Not noisy, not to mention jealousy, Tang Qiuli's distress and embarrassment is how to distinguish Liu Xinlan from Xiaoling, instead of hurting this simple girl, this thought makes him melancholy, the memory is sad, The reality is happiness, wandering between sadness and happiness, tormenting Tang Qiuli's heart.

The evening breeze in the valley brought a little coolness. Seeing the steaming sunset, which dyed half of the sky red, Tang Qiuli sat by a stream by himself, sorting out his messy thoughts. In the distance, were the busy figures of special guards , the low voice of conversation seemed to come from the distant sky, everything was so quiet, so quiet that he felt lonely, even Shanhu didn't come to accompany him.

A windbreaker was lightly draped over him. Tang Qiuli turned his head and saw Liu Xinlan, smiling peacefully. Her bright eyes looked at him with searching and concern. Tang Qiuli smiled, "Xinlan, accompany me!" I'll sit for a while."

Liu Xinlan obediently leaned against his shoulder, and sat beside him. Immediately, she leaned her head on his shoulder, and a scent unique to her daughter's home surrounded Tang Qiuli like a mist. He couldn't help stretching out his arms to hug Liu Xinlan. In her arms, the girl moaned and sighed contentedly, "Qiu Li, do you have something on your mind?" Liu Xinlan asked leisurely.
