On January 10, 1942, Liu San, Gu Feiyan, Yang Yang, Xuan Ye, Shou Yue and others returned to Jinan as ordered.
Zhou Weiguo looked at the few people. Although there were a few missing, everyone was still in good spirits.
"Okay, everyone, sit down." Zhou Weiguo said, and several people sat down. "I asked you to come back this time because there is a new mission. You should know that I have been appointed as one of the combat staff officers of the expeditionary force.
"
Several people frowned, and Liu San said, "I know, but we don't accept it."
After hearing Liu San's words, several people nodded.
"It doesn't matter whether you accept or not in this matter." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "Because I have already accepted the appointment."
Several people were silent.
"Why?" Gu Feiyan asked, "This matter is of no benefit to us."
Gu Feiyan and others naturally didn't understand.
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "The British may have made a request because they were afraid of being beaten by the Japanese."
"But you have the right to say no, don't you?"
"Yes, but I have to go." Zhou Weiguo sighed. If he didn't go, how would the incident develop?
"Why?" Gu Feiyan did not agree with Zhou Weiguo accepting this appointment, but Zhou Weiguo had already accepted it, and he felt that he needed an explanation.
Zhou Weiguo felt helpless, "For the sake of one hundred thousand soldiers."
"One hundred thousand soldiers?" Gu Feiyan narrowed his eyes, "You mean, the expeditionary force?"
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Just think of it, it's for them."
"All right."
"Then, I'm going to assign a mission." Zhou Weiguo became serious and serious, "First of all, this mission is extremely dangerous, because your enemy is not only the Japanese, but also the tropical rainforest."
"Tropical rain forest?" Several people were surprised, "Master, you mean, go to Myanmar?"
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "Since I accepted this appointment, I will not go alone. Therefore, I will bring one hundred and fifty special operations team members, half of them are old team members and half are new team members."
"Of course, you can also refuse, I don't force you."
After the words fell, the faces of several people were not very pretty.
"Master, I, Liu San, am calling you Master now, but in my heart, I still regard you as a brother. Let me ask you, brother, when have you and I ever been afraid of death?" Liu San said with a solemn face.
The voice said. He Liu San, the famous thief in the world, joined the anti-Japanese war team because of Zhou Weiguo's words. When did he regret it and when was he afraid?
"Master, what Third Brother means is our opinion." Gu Feiyan also expressed his position.
"That's right."
"That's right!"
Zhou Weiguo smiled and said, "Third brother, don't be angry. We are all afraid of death, right? In fact, I am also afraid of death. There are too many things in this world that I am attached to, so I don't want to die. You don't want to die either.
Live well, until the war is over, we should let our horses go to Nanshan, and have fun and have fun, isn't it good?"
After a pause, Zhou Weiguo continued, "However, when the country and the nation need me, I will not have any hesitation. Life and other things are really nothing compared to the country."
The expressions of several people softened a little.
"As for the task, it is very serious." Zhou Weiguo said solemnly, "The Japanese gathered hundreds of thousands of troops in Southeast Asia and wanted to capture the colonies of British and American countries. Of course, this was the establishment of the expeditionary force. In terms of military strength, the British and American
The troops cannot be trusted."
"Not trustworthy?"
"Just look at the battle reports of the past few days and you will know that the Japanese are unstoppable in Southeast Asia. This will give the British and American troops the illusion that the Japanese are very powerful."
"The Japanese are very powerful." Zhou Weiguo continued, "The main reason for this misconception is that the British and American troops stationed in the colonies are too few, there are many locals, the equipment is poor, and the training is not enough."
Several people nodded.
"This is the advantage of the Japanese attacking first." Zhou Weiguo pointed to the large map posted on the wall, "Once they take these places first and then guard them with elite troops, the Allies will take them back if they want to.
We have to spend several times their troops, and the Japanese will have an advantage for a period of time, which is very important to the Japanese. After all, they have less land and fewer people."
"However, for now, the expeditionary force's entry into Myanmar is definitely a gift. The first point is the equipment of the national army. Except for a few, such as the Fifth Army, which are elite troops, the equipment gap of several other units is quite large.
, in addition, the Japs are almost all mechanized troops, with rapid reinforcements and powerful firepower. To defeat the Japs, we must use ingenuity; second point, the cooperation between the expeditionary force and the Allied forces. If the British army sells its teammates, what will happen to the expeditionary force?
Said, no less than a major earthquake."
"No way? The expeditionary force entered Burma for Britain, and they still want to sell their teammates?" Everyone didn't quite believe it. Of course, Zhou Weiguo also used "if" and only expressed assumptions.
Zhou Weiguo did not answer. Although he was using the word "if" now, in fact, the British just betrayed their teammates.
"The third point is command authority. After the expeditionary force enters Myanmar, who should have the command authority? Of course, it has not been determined yet, but it is also a dangerous factor."
"So, as a combat staff officer, I must have a perfect plan to attack the Japanese. The prerequisite for making a plan is intelligence."
"The main reason for sending you is to collect intelligence and, when necessary, serve as a commando force to deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese."
Everyone nodded, feeling that this was in line with their positioning.
…
On January 11, Zhou Weiguo received a telegram asking him to report to Yunnan in late January.
Zhou Weiguo narrowed his eyes. The original time for the expeditionary force to enter Myanmar was in mid-February, because the British did not allow the expeditionary force to enter Myanmar. Until Yangon was in crisis.
"Late late, it will start in late 21st." Liu Yuan was not very satisfied because the telegram did not specify a specific time.
"Okay, I'll just pack up and get ready to go." Zhou Weiguo smiled, "I'll take Zhao Sheng with me. As for the independent division, I'll leave it to you and Weimin, brother."
Liu Yuan nodded.
"There are some deductions about the Pacific battlefield in my office." Zhou Weiguo said in Liu Yuan's ear, "When necessary, you can refer to those deductions and send the navy and marines to get involved."
"A bit of a trick?" Liu Yuan narrowed his eyes, "I think it's okay to fish in troubled waters or something like that."
Zhou Weiguo laughed twice and patted Liu Yuan on the shoulder, "Brother, please arrange a flight. The special operations team and I will go to Yunnan together."
"OK."
…
"Yunnan?" Zhu Ziming put down the phone. Zhou Weiguo wanted to take the special forces to Yunnan and wanted the transport plane to leave. In this case, there must be escort fighter planes.
Zhu Ziming touched his chin. The Air Force has been a little idle recently. To put it simply, he wanted to find something to do.
