After listening to Zhou Weiguo's explanation, Chiang Kai-shek felt that the Japanese had to guard against this idea. If this was true, it would cause them great trouble.
But it seems impossible to prevent this kind of thing.
After all, many places in Southeast Asia are already under the control of the Japanese. Moreover, the people of Southeast Asia do have a lot of expectations and good impressions of Japan.
"What's the explanation?" Old Jiang looked at Zhou Weiguo.
"There is no solution. We can only continue to fight until they are scared." Zhou Weiguo smiled. There is really no solution, because the favorability of both Chinese and British Americans in Southeast Asia is too low.
"Eh." Lao Jiang sighed, "The national situation is difficult, the people's livelihood is very difficult, and the road to resisting Japan is long and I don't know how long it will take."
What can Zhou Weiguo say? He can only listen to old Jiang Fa complaining.
…
After the conversation with Lao Jiang, Zhou Weiguo went to find Du Yuming.
"Are you out?" Du Yuming was surprised when he saw Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "What time is it now? The Chairman also needs to rest."
Du Yuming nodded, "I have already given the order without going through Stilwell and the others."
"Yeah." This time, Zhou Weiguo felt more relieved, "What, why are you still not sleeping so late?"
"Well, I want to see if it is possible to give the Japanese a counterattack." Du Yuming smiled, "What Dai Anlan did today was unexpected, but it also opened up an idea for us. Look..."
Du Yuming began to discuss with Zhou Weiguo.
After a long time, the two stopped discussing.
By this time, it was already the early morning of the 14th.
"Oh, it's so late, really!" Du Yuming was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. Bro, please improve this plan and submit a written report to the Chairman tomorrow. I think the Chairman will be very interested!"
"good!"
…
After Zhou Weiguo returned, he received some telegrams from Zhao Sheng, most of which were sent back by soldiers from the special operations team. After reading them one by one, one of them really caught his attention.
It was from Gu Feiyan. At this moment, Gu Feiyan arrived in Moulmein.
The Japanese army gave equipment and weapons to the so-called insurgents in Myanmar, and at the same time they were recruiting Burmese people to join the army. The people of Burma actively signed up.
Zhou Weiguo really wanted to scold himself for being a crow's mouth, but he really got it right.
During World War II, the Japanese army had a total population of more than 70 million, but it recruited more than 7 million soldiers. There were many soldiers, but the quality of the soldiers had declined. The Japanese army’s reserve military service system was very complex and complete, and was divided into: reserve service and reserve service.
, the first supplementary soldier, the second supplementary soldier. After the soldiers retire, they are all incorporated into the reserve force. After three years, they are incorporated into the reserve force. The first and second supplementary troops are those students who have participated in military training and those who are of appropriate age to enlist in the army.
Young people, these people are all registered. Once the war requires, Japan can quickly expand its army. Even in the later period, the height standard for Japanese military recruitment was reduced from 1.60 meters to 1.45 meters.
Most of the troops in China are relatively early Japanese troops, with higher quality and strong combat effectiveness. Therefore, if the Chinese had not held back most of the elite Japanese troops, the situation in Southeast Asia would have been even worse.
However, what the Japanese did now was beyond Zhou Weiguo's expectation, because historically, the Japanese army did not officially recruit soldiers of Southeast Asian nationality.
Zhou Weiguo can only attribute it to the butterfly effect.
"Let Lao Yan and the others find out how many people the Japanese plan to recruit and how many Burmese troops they plan to form." Zhou Weiguo said, "Let them also protect themselves and never be exposed."
"Yes!" Zhao Sheng nodded and began to operate.
Zhou Weiguo sighed, "Let's take a rest after finishing. It's not too early today."
"Okay, Master."
Zhou Weiguo thought for a while, took the telegram, and went to find Du Yuming. In the entire expeditionary force headquarters, the only one he could really talk to was Du Yuming. It was too late and inappropriate to go to the chairman of the committee now, although it was just
Predicted.
…
"The Japanese are really good!" Du Yuming took the telegram and his face darkened. "This will create many more variables."
Zhou Weiguo nodded, "So, maybe we have to wait a little longer."
Du Yuming nodded, "Where did you get this information?"
"I sent someone to investigate." Zhou Weiguo said, "We made arrangements together when we came here before."
Du Yuming nodded, expressing his understanding, "Can you find out more details?"
"The arrangements have been made. Now, we can only wait for news." Zhou Weiguo said helplessly, "However, although the Japanese army's move was unexpected, it is also reasonable."
"Yes, the Japanese have spent so many troops in China. Now they are attacking Southeast Asia. It is not difficult to rely on people from Southeast Asia who want to get ahead to raise troops. After all, they are very good at doing such things, whether it is the Puppet Manchukuo
, or the pseudo-National Government." Du Yuming sighed, "It's just that doing this in Southeast Asia has made us who are already very passive even more passive. Do you have any ideas?"
Zhou Weiguo spread his hands and said, "What can you think of? It's just that the soldiers will come to block it and the water will come to cover it up. This temporary army may cause a lot of trouble. I think they may be evenly matched against the British army."
"Haha." Du Yuming smiled, "Okay, let's go back and rest first. We will discuss this matter tomorrow."
…
March 14, Tonggu.
Dai Anlan looked at the almost completed position in front of him and nodded. He had previously sent some troops to Tonggu to start building the position, and he led a part of his troops to ambush the Japanese. The efficiency was much higher.
"Master, the Japs are less than 50 miles away from us."
Dai Anlan nodded, "It's okay, the devils are coming, let's just fight them as usual."
"yes!"
"Master, we don't have many shells left."
Dai Anlan frowned, "I guess you didn't fight much yesterday, right?"
“A lot of it is used in Yangon.”
"Telegraph the headquarters to see if we can speed up the shipment later."
"yes!"
"See if there is anything else missing, send it to them, ask for supplies, and learn to cry for poverty."
"yes!"
Dai Anlan waved his hand, and then the soldiers left. After thinking about it, he felt that sometimes in war, it is really impossible to be upright. He still came up with strange strategies.
It's like the enemy's plan in Yangon.
This is not called cunning, but cunning.
It's just that the Japanese army is the enemy, so we call them cunning. If they were our own people, they would definitely be praised as cunning.
Thinking of this, Dai Anlan walked back to the headquarters and consulted with someone.
At the same time, 50 miles away to the south of Tonggu, dozens of trucks were driving in a row, and the end could not be seen at a glance.
"Your Excellency, Captain, 50 miles ahead is Tonggu!"
"Yo Xi, are the troops behind following you?"
"Hi!"
"Yo Xi! This time, we must avenge yesterday's revenge! We must surround the Chinese army in Tonggu! Then, surround the point for reinforcements! Let the Chinese come to rescue!"
"Hi!"
"Tell the warriors to watch carefully! We must avenge the warriors who died yesterday!"
