Age of Rebirth

Tang Qiuli was furious after reading Chutian's information. Unexpectedly, it would be a headache for such a vicious and vicious Ito to drag hundreds of thousands of Yangon citizens to be buried with him. After thinking about it, he felt relieved. This is Japan. People's consistent practice, in history, when they invaded the mainland of China, they did this kind of deeds, recruiting strong men, expanding the puppet army to take the lead, serving as cannon fodder, forcing the Chinese to fight their own lives.

In order to make up for his lack of troops and maintain the rule of the occupied area, it seems that although his appearance has changed history, it has not changed the nature of the Japanese. This is probably the true meaning of "a dog can't change eating shit"?The bottom line of the Japanese can't be removed even if it is turned into ashes.

If you think about it carefully, it’s not a big deal. If the strong man is replaced by a Burmese, there will be a lot less scruples in the fight, so you don’t have to be restrained. However, you should think of a proper way to break Ito’s poisonous trick. The Burmese language activities should be more or less effective. Tang Qiuli himself was a little amused, and the move to do it when he had nothing to do coincided with Ito's tricks.

Seeing Tang Qiuli's face was gloomy for a moment, and then changed into a disdainful smile, Liu Xinlan was a little confused, and muttered, "What a weird person, sometimes it's cloudy and sometimes sunny," Tang Qiuli vaguely heard Liu Xinlan's muttering, Asked, "Xinlan, what are you talking about?" Liu Xinlan stuck out her tongue and smiled mischievously, "You're a servant, I'm reading a telegram!"

"By the way, Xinlan, immediately notify Deputy Division Commander Tang, Chief of Staff, and several corps commanders to the headquarters for a meeting!" Tang Qiuli ordered, and Liu Xinlan looked at her watch. "It's already two o'clock in the morning," Tang Qiuli said with a serious face, "It's now, an emergency military meeting. Notify me immediately," Liu Xinlan agreed. [

When he arrived at the door, he turned around and said, "You haven't rested. Taking advantage of the gap before the meeting, I asked the cooking class to make you some supper for you. If you continue to suffer like this, your body will be exhausted," he said.He went beautifully.

Tang Qiuli said, "This girl, is she praising herself or hurting herself? I have been traveling for several days, and today is the first time I am on duty. Will I be exhausted?" However, in his heart, there is still a feeling that The warmth of women's care, especially Liu Xinlan's care, gently rippling in the heart.

Tang Qiusheng was the commander of several of their corps.Being summoned overnight, everyone was nervous, thinking that something unexpected happened, and the staff who answered the phone didn't know the specific content.When Liu Xinlan notified her, she was very brief.He just told the staff who answered the phone, "Master's order. Call an emergency meeting immediately." The girl didn't think too much, she was thinking about the supper for Tang Qiuli.

Everyone rushed over anxiously and saw Tang Qiuli leisurely eating supper. Liu Xinlan bent her crescent eyes and served him food and vegetables carefully. It was so warm and homely. , Everyone was stunned, Tang Qiuli looked at the anxious generals with a innocent face, and said vaguely: "You guys sit down first, I will finish eating soon!"

The generals almost fainted, and they called us here in the middle of the night in such a hurry, thinking that some important military situation had happened, you are good, guarding the big beauty, eating a sweet supper, we were sweating in a hurry, Feng Jiwu's temperament is relatively In a hurry, he asked: "Master, you called us here urgently. Did the little devil do something unusual?"

"Chutian sent the information, please circulate it first." Liu Xinlan handed the telegram to Tang Qiusheng first. After reading it, everyone fell silent. It was indeed not an emergency, but the complicated meaning behind the information could not help but make people wonder. The senior generals of several independent divisions who had experienced battles thought deeply that the 10,000+ Japanese army is not terrible, but the hundreds of thousands of armed civilians are a very headache.

If it is not handled well, or in other words, no effective way to crack the Japanese poisonous plan has been found, it means that the independent division will not only have to fight the Japanese army, but also fight with nearly a million Yangon citizens. The cost is too high. Of course, If you are as unscrupulous as the Japanese and don't think too much about inhumanity, it is not difficult. With thousands of cannons and nearly a thousand planes, Yangon will disappear from the map in a few days.

However, the teacher made it clear that we did not come here to destroy Yangon, but to occupy and manage it. The future Yangon is the territory of our independent division. If it is destroyed and rebuilt, the price we pay is too high. Planting the seeds of hatred is not worth the loss from any point of view. Therefore, the Battle of Yangon cannot be regarded as a siege battle in a pure sense.

Tang Qiuli hiccupped comfortably, looked at the silent generals, and asked, "How about it? Do you have any good suggestions and opinions? Speak up and speak freely. I couldn't make up my mind, so I called everyone together overnight. Come, let's discuss a countermeasure together."

Tang Qiusheng first broke the silence and said: "From Chutian's information, it can be seen that it is obvious that the Japanese are going to tie the civilians in Yangon to their chariots, whether these civilians are voluntary or forced No matter how oppressive they are, as long as they go to the battlefield, there will be casualties. In this way, the sinister purpose of the Japanese will be achieved. Now, the most difficult thing is that we have no effective means to expose the Japanese conspiracy."

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Brother Qiusheng's analysis is exactly what I am worried about. Facing armed civilians, followed by Japanese soldiers, to fight or not to fight, how to fight? Do you still remember the madness of the Burmese Volunteer Team?" The energy is no worse than that of the Japanese soldiers. Of course, not all Yangon citizens are like this, but even if it is one ten thousandth, it will cause us great difficulties. Our soldiers, yes These civilians will not be shot because they are not Japanese."

Feng Jiwu thought about it and said: "My opinion is still inclined to fight. When the citizens of Yangon took up arms and joined the Japanese soldiers to fight against our troops, whether they were voluntary or forced, their identities They are no longer civilians, but our enemies. Otherwise, not only will our troops suffer unimaginable casualties during the capture of Yangon, but they will also be dragged into the quagmire of street fighting by Ito. For us, it is extremely unfavorable.”

Everyone started arguing enthusiastically, each insisted on their own opinions, and the suggestions they put forward were not perfect. Tang Qiuli didn't say a word. He thought more realistically. During the fierce battle, both sides were red-eyed. If one When a soldier is killed by a gun shot by a civilian, his comrades will definitely take revenge. This emotion spreads to the entire army, which is a kind of massacre in disguise. "

"How can these Burmese who have been arrested clearly know that the enemy of the Independent Division is the Japanese, not them. The practice of learning a few words of the local language that I advocate cannot fundamentally solve the problem, but what is there?" What's the best way?" Tang Qiuli was also at a loss and was very troubled.

Seeing Tang Qiuli frowning tightly, Liu Xinlan next to him whispered, "Should the Burmese tell the Burmese?" Tang Qiuli suddenly turned his face and stared at Liu Xinlan, which made Liu Xinlan panic. Now that I know the seriousness, even major generals and brigade commanders are not qualified to participate in a meeting of this standard, and I am just a small second lieutenant, what nonsense are I talking about?

In private, when you are with Qiuli, you can act coquettishly or say whatever you want, but in formal occasions, it is definitely not acceptable, not just a matter of exceeding authority, "Qiuli must be very angry," Liu Xinlan thought to herself , with his head down, anxious, ready to bear the wrath of Tang Qiuli's thunder, with a pitiful look on his face.

Tang Qiuli said: "Xinlan, say out loud what you were muttering just now!" Liu Xinlan raised her head unexpectedly, looked at Tang Qiuli's encouraging eyes, several people stared at her eyes, blushed, and said: " I just said this casually, let the Burmese tell the Burmese, and the Japanese army's conspiracy will be self-defeating."

"Bang" Tang Qiuli slapped the table, and shouted, "Oh!" Not only was Liu Xinlan startled, she looked at Tang Qiuli in horror, and the others were also stunned, what are you doing? Suddenly, "Xinlan's words just now reminded me that one word really awakened the dreamer, and we have all entered a dead end." Tang Qiuli said.

After receiving Tang Qiuli's praise, Liu Xinlan felt even more embarrassed, pursed her lips shyly, hesitated to speak, and now that she has an idea, the next thing will be much easier to handle. [

The meeting decided to immediately set up the Enemy Workers Corps. In the area currently under control, a large number of local Chinese and Burmese who are willing to cooperate will be absorbed into the independent division. After training, they will specialize in the work of Yangon citizens. There must be at least two companies at the first level of the main attacking force, and there must be at least two of them in each grass-roots company. There is nothing else to do, just conduct propaganda and persuade the Burmese strong men to lay down their weapons and stop working for the Japanese.

In order to attract local Chinese and Burmese to participate, anyone who voluntarily joins the independent division will be awarded the rank of second lieutenant immediately and enjoy the treatment of a regular officer of the independent division. It is suspected that it has been absorbed, the most successful case in history in the War of Resistance Against Japan, as for the candidate for the commander-in-chief, there is no suitable candidate for the time being, and Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, the deputy division commander and commander-in-chief of the Yangon Campaign, will be appointed.

In addition to forming the Enemy Workers Corps, a large number of leaflets were printed, and planes were sent over the downtown area of ​​Yangon to distribute them in large quantities. The content of the leaflets was mainly to expose the conspiracy and practices of the Japanese army to kidnap and deceive civilians in Yangon, and appealed to the citizens of Yangon , not to cooperate with the Japanese, explain the purpose of the independent division and the purpose of capturing Rangoon, and ensure that innocent civilians are not harmed.

This is a typical propaganda war. As long as the citizens of Yangon understand the truth of the matter, Ito's poisonous trick will lose its effect. Ito's swords and soldiers are facing each other, and they still have to fight with each other, destroying all of Ito's hopes, what else should he do?
