The Japanese would have never imagined that the Nationalist Government would send an expeditionary force to fight in Burma. After all, in the Sino-Japanese War, China had always been at a disadvantage. It could be said that it had too much time to take care of itself, so how could it be able to help others.
Therefore, this information is very important. After all, after the Chinese Expeditionary Force enters Myanmar, the Japanese will be caught off guard.
But after the expeditionary force entered Myanmar, the results were not very good, and it even became a shield for the British.
It was precisely because of the Chinese Expeditionary Force that they fought bloody battles with the Japanese and stood in front of the British, allowing the British troops to escape safely.
The Chinese Expeditionary Force, which was exploited, ended badly. Not only did they have a bloody battle with the Japanese, but their retreat was cut off by the British. In the end, they retreated back to the country in embarrassment, and even ventured into Savage Mountain, resulting in not many people returning home safely.
.
The Japanese did not gain much from this battle. After all, they could gain benefits only by fighting the British. However, if they did not gain anything from a battle with the expeditionary force, it was not worth the gain.
Therefore, the only people who benefited from the Central Plains Expeditionary Force's entry into Myanmar were the British.
Li Yunsheng was naturally unwilling to let the expeditionary force end up like this, but his status in the National Government was not high, and he had no say in this matter.
Even if some information is sent, it will probably be ignored by Principal Chang and those politicians.
That's why Li Yunsheng sold this secret to the Japanese. After all, compared with the Chinese army, the British are extremely rich. As long as the Japanese get the news in advance, they will definitely make a wise choice.
"Thank you sir for your cultivation!"
Knowing the value of this news, David Ikeda immediately spoke happily, thinking that even if he took some risks, getting this information would be worth it.
"You just have to work hard."
Li Yunsheng responded lightly, with a very calm tone, because he had other purposes to inform David Ikeda of the news.
After that, the two of them said a few more words and left one after another.
Two days later, David Ikeda handed an important piece of information to Li Yunsheng.
This information was naturally the list of personnel Li Yunsheng wanted, as well as some information about the officers of the Panasonic Regiment.
After getting the list of these people who had re-enlisted, Li Yunsheng took action immediately and secretly investigated the characters of these people.
These retired soldiers were ordinary people who wanted to investigate. So two days later, Li Yunsheng selected several targets.
Matsuzaki Shigenari is a retired soldier who previously belonged to the Matsushita Regiment. Since the Regiment came to Tianjin for rest and recuperation, his service years have also come to an end and he was discharged from the army.
There were many people who retired this time. After all, there were many veterans in the Matsushita Regiment, and among the same batch of retired soldiers, Matsuzaki Shigenari had some prestige, like a leader.
Originally, this group of retired soldiers planned to return directly to Japan, but before and after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the ships returning to Japan were extremely tight, so these people could only stay in Tianjin.
These people had just retired from the army and naturally had some spare money, so they always gathered together to eat and drink when they had nothing to do.
On this day, more than a dozen retired soldiers gathered in a restaurant to eat and drink again. One soldier drank too much and complained: "It's really annoying to stay here. I don't know when I can go back to China!"
"It's almost time. As long as the situation is no longer tense and there is a ship back to Japan, we can go back."
Because he was the leader, Matsuzaki Shigenari naturally wanted to comfort the soldiers. After speaking, he even patted the man on the shoulder.
"Oh, it's so annoying!"
The person who complained muttered again, looking very irritated.
Matsuzaki Shigenari comforted him a few words again, and then continued to eat and drink with his comrades. After all, these retired soldiers had nothing to do and could only pass the time by chatting.
After comforting his complaining comrades for a while, Matsuzaki Shigesei heard a voice: "Are you telling the truth? The military really wants us to re-enlist in the army and then go to fight in Southeast Asia."
"Yes, this order will be issued soon. I don't know who the bastard suggested it."
Immediately, another voice came, with a very irritated tone.
These two sounds immediately made Matsuzaki Shigenari nervous, and he couldn't help but look towards the place where the sounds came from.
What caught Matsuzaki Shigenari's eyes were two middle-aged men in their thirties, sitting at a table not far away drinking.
Although Matsuzaki Shigenari didn't know these two people, he felt a military temperament from the two of them and immediately guessed that the other person should be a retired soldier like himself.
When Matsuzaki Shigenari looked at the two people, the person who spoke first said again: "We people have worked hard for many years and managed to escape death. Now we have just retired and we have to re-enlist to fight for our lives. Are all the people above crazy?
.”
"Not only those of us who have just retired have to re-enlist, but also those who are about to retire will also be added to the troops in Nanyang to fight against the white-skinned pigs."
Another voice sounded again, his tone full of helplessness.
Next, the two people kept discussing these matters about re-enlisting into the army, and analyzed the current war. They also described the war in Nanyang as very tragic, which made people feel panic when they heard it.
As the two people continued to discuss, Matsuzaki Shigenari could no longer sit still, and immediately came over and said politely: "Both of you, are everything you said true?"
Matsuzaki Shigenari's tone was very anxious. After all, what the two men said was too horrifying and related to retired soldiers like them.
As soon as Matsuzaki Shigenari finished speaking, the two of them looked over at the same time, showing a hint of defensiveness.
"Don't worry, my friend. I, Matsuzaki Shigege, am also a recently discharged soldier. This is my discharge certificate."
Looking at the gazes of the two people, Matsuzaki Shigenari immediately took out the discharge certificate issued by the Japanese military and showed his identity.
When the two people saw Matsuzaki Shigenari's discharge certificate, their expressions finally returned to normal, and one of them said: "Of course what we said is true, believe it or not!"
"How is this possible? We have just retired, how can we re-enlist?"
Matsuzaki Shigenari asked again, showing a look of disbelief.
No wonder Matsuzaki Shigege couldn't believe it, because the Japanese army has a clear system. After serving for a certain number of years, one will definitely be discharged.
Even if you re-enlist in the army, it will take a year or two to give the soldiers some time to rest.
"Believe it or not?"
The person who spoke was very impatient and didn't want to talk to Matsuzaki Shigenari anymore. After finishing speaking, he drank a glass of wine bitterly.
When it came to another person, there was a look of sympathy in his eyes, and then he said: "Friend, this news cannot be false, because Mr. Takeda has several fellow villagers who work in the headquarters, so he can get this news in advance.
.”
As soon as this person finished speaking, Matsuzaki Shigenari's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said bitterly: "How could this be possible? We have just retired."
"It doesn't matter that we have just retired. After all, we have rested for a while, but those who are about to retire will be even more unlucky. They don't even have time to rest and will not retire at all."
As soon as Matsuzaki Shigenari finished speaking, an angry voice sounded again, as if he was very unwilling to do so.
