At this point, all the independent troops inside and outside the house were killed, and Xu Chong and Ma Qiang checked it several times, but found no leaks. However, in a small house in the backyard where tools were placed, I found a coffin made of good wood, but it had not had time to be painted.

Lin Xiuxuan dragged the dead bodies into the house, and since the pit had been dug, he kept it to bury himself. The bandit leader was hit in the back of the head, fainted severely, and seemed to still have air intake, so he didn't care about it and threw it directly into the pit, filled it with soil, and patted it with a shovel.

Xu Chong went to check on the white-haired overseas Chinese in the courtyard and found that they were hopeless. I couldn't bury it with the bandits, so I dug a pit in the yard, carried the coffin in the backyard and filled it with the body, and buried it together with the jade mahjong, with an unnamed wooden plaque inserted on it. If there are still family members, they should find out when they come back in the future.

As for those gold and silver belongings, dollars and pounds, it seems to belong to the family, but once they are put in the coffin, it doesn't seem to be appropriate, Lin Xiuxuan is a person who is good at adapting to power, not so principled, he didn't hesitate too much, he decided to keep it for himself, and the money he got in Shanghai last time was almost used, and he would need to spend money immediately if he couldn't keep it 419.

When burying the bandits, a letter of appointment was also found from the bandit leader, and Lin Neng understood some written language of the Tibeto-Burman language, which was issued by the Independent Volunteer Army Command, and the appointed advance army Captain Minden was the major battalion commander of the 11th detachment. It seems that he was the one who was buried alive, and even himself, a total of 5 people, became the battalion commander? It is estimated that the Japanese don't really give money, otherwise there are so many grass kings, how can they give it, so they come out to rob it.

In order to prevent other enemies from coming to the door, this place is not to stay. They quickly left with their gear and found a hidden vantage point in the nearby jungle, perfect for radio listening. So he set up an antenna and began to listen to the AM radio stations of the British.

The British have a stronger sense of secrecy than the Japanese, and there are a large number of secret words on the phone, which cannot be deciphered in a short time, and Qin Xiaosu is not there. However, the number of communications equipment they have can easily reveal the location of the headquarters. At present, there are two radio stations on the front, Hutun's headquarters in Mawlamyine, and the inspection point of Chinese officers, where messages are also constantly being sent, and the power of the radio stations is also greater. The radio station used the code of the national army, and the content of the report was unfavorable to the British army.

A telegram, most likely signed by Du Yuming himself, stated that the loss of Rangoon was inevitable and that it would not be possible to effectively stop the Japanese until the British arrived with the 7th Armored Brigade and Indian troops from North Africa. He suggested that the pace of the Chinese army's entry into Burma should not be too fast, and that it was better to judge the determination of the British to hold Upper Burma first. The focus of the observation is whether the British blow up the oil facilities in Ringanqiang in the coming months, and if not, whether the British still have the fighting spirit. On the contrary, it is not advisable to be too positive. It seems that the alliance has not yet been formed, and all sorts of calculations have already begun.

Subsequently, the exchange of telegrams between the Japanese side and the Burmese side was monitored. Sure enough, the radio lurking on the west bank of the Salween River reported the current location of the Chinese Expeditionary Force Commander's Corps and the deployment of troops, and the local spies clearly grasped that a battalion of the Burmese Second Brigade was responsible for guarding it, and the Chinese officer corps consisted of 36 people. The telegram then also reported on the current water level of the Salween River. A second telegram a few hours later reported that the British commander, Wavell, would leave his headquarters in Rangoon and go to Mawlamyine to meet with General Du Yuming and make up a part of the documentary for tomorrow morning.

For the time being, there was no waiting for the Japanese side to resume the call, and the special team could only rest temporarily. Lin was on duty guarding the radio, thinking about how to connect with the showy interpreter in the headquarters; In fact, Chu Aiyun is still just a small person, and if he can be notified, he should be able to come out at any time. But the communication equipment could not establish contact with him, most likely before he defected to Chongqing, he threw away the handset, which is of course also a very reasonable move, if the non-digitized handset is discovered, the consequences are unpredictable.

Later in the evening, the radio overheard messages from the little-used channels of the South Bangkok Agency, apparently addressed to Burma's elite sleeper spies, rather than a reply to the aforementioned message.

The telegram demanded that the Ishii special attack group, which had already crossed the river and completed the infiltration, abandon the operation originally scheduled to rescue U Nu in Yangon and turn to the direction of Mawlamyine. The order calls for the establishment of a 300 x 500 meter zone in the open area west of the river bank at 10 o'clock tonight, and the establishment of aviation identification signs.

The telegram was not clear, but it only asked the agents in Hexi to act, but it was unable to understand the intentions of the southern authorities. Lin looked at the map, if it was just to provide bomber identification, it seemed that there were no valuable targets there, and he himself had infiltrated from here yesterday, and the British army was really loose to let go. Wavell's corps-level headquarters was far away in Yangon, and Hudun's division headquarters was in the city, and it was also very far away, so close to the station of Du Yuming and his party.

"Look at the posture, the Japanese are going to drop paratroopers." Xu Chong said.

"Don't make trouble with Lao Xu," Ma Qiang shook his head, "Have you heard that in World War II, Japanese paratroopers played a very active role?" ”

"yes, I can't remember it either, but isn't the way the ground responds, isn't it just going to be a low-altitude airdrop at night?"

"Maybe it's just airdropping weapons and ammunition to the Independence Army, or dropping a handful of spies." Ma Qiang said.

"If it's just a few people, why build such a big drop zone? Besides, the British defense along the river leaked like a sieve, and a small group of people came by small boats, so why bother with airdropping. ”

Both sides seem to make sense. Lin Xiuxuan listened on the side and did not express his opinion for the time being.

"Team leader, what do you think the Japanese conspiracy is?" Ma Qiang asked about Lin Xiuxuan and seemed to seek support.

"I think what Xu Chong said makes more sense." Lin Xiuxuan decisively stood on Xu Chong's side, "Now we must not continue to use history as a reference for action." A few months ago it might have worked, but recently, history has changed a lot. ”

"So, you think it's going to be an airdrop of a large army?"

"Yes, that's what I judged, and I had to make a big move. The enemy's crossing of the river may be brought forward. We need to prepare for the worst. ”

"Isn't that a bit of an overkill?"

"You have to take into account that Asano is a guy who likes to make trouble, didn't he get the Second Mixed Brigade in North China here? Once he has allies at the decision-making level, he will definitely put his whimsical ideas to work. And if it is really a paratrooper, the purpose of the campaign should not only be to create chaos behind enemy lines, but also to attack the meeting place of the senior generals of the Sino-British coalition forces. You see, the timing is so timely, and the demarcated area is only 6 kilometers away from the observatory. As it falls in the second half of the night, it can be reached before dawn, and the efficiency of the British should not have had time to detect any anomalies. ”

"Will killing Wavell or Du Yuming have a bad impact on the battle situation?"

"I don't know about this, but if Chu Aiyun has three longs and two shorts, Cheng Dayang will not be able to explain there, so you have to prepare first."

The three of them began to plan an operation, of course, based on the assumption that the Japanese might be airdropped. After nightfall, Lin Xiuxuan also threw a drone to reconnoiter the area where the enemy might have airdropped, and found that sure enough, a small group of people were approaching and stacking firewood in the forest glade. Regardless of whether there will be a large-scale airdrop, Lin decided to launch a sabotage operation first. So they hurried there, and set up a bonfire on a rocky beach full of thorns on the side of the hill from the predetermined marking field. In short, add to the mess first, and then it depends on the situation. Lin did not attack the Japanese spies on the ground, because he was not sure what would happen, maybe it was just an airdrop of weapons, so he did not want to expand the scope of action for the time being.

As soon as the appointed time arrived, the rumbling of engines sounded in the sky, which was not at all the movement of one or two planes, and it flew very low.

Bonfires were lit almost simultaneously on both sides. The pilot on the Nakajima transport plane suddenly turned around. The formation had already reduced its altitude and did not have effective means of communication with the ground, so the formation immediately began to disorganize, and part of it flew to the wrong place. The other part was hesitant and threw it very off.

The approximately 400 soldiers of the Kume Kuzen Brigade were tasked with a major and secret mission, and they plunged headlong into the unknown. A good special operation, which starts in a catastrophic way.

The soldiers jumped down in a dense formation at a low altitude of 300 meters by opening their parachutes, and landed in a deadly area with black eyes. When the two transport planes hesitated to make a turn over two landing fields several kilometers apart, they also collided together, and the intelligence staff officer of the 15th Army, Akiho Nakasa, who was in charge of receiving them on the ground, watched the gorgeous air fighting behind enemy lines, and the absurd movement became uncontrollable.

The soldiers who landed tumbled and fell to the slope, and some parachutes were caught by tall trees and could not move. Some people fell to the ground, broke their legs, broke their heads, and even more unlucky people were directly stabbed in the organs by tree branches and died. The planes that arrived later threw down the packed weapons and equipment, and they were also thrown in a mess.

Lin Xiuxuan used the call sign of a nearby garrison of the Anglo-Indian 17th Division to send an urgent call to the headquarters of Major General Hu Dun to discover the enemy's airborne landing. He was confident that his English was good, and he could get through the tricks and arouse the vigilance of the British army. It turned out not to be what he had hoped, and someone from the Ministry of Communications immediately asked for identity verification and asked him for the name of the chaplain of the unit. He knew where to go, so he quickly stopped the call, and he didn't know what was wrong. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the accent and call sign, but the other party thinks that such a ridiculous thing as the paratrooper paratrooper landing can only be the whispering of some grass and trees, or the intelligence deception of the Japanese army.

As soon as the 400 Japanese troops landed, they lost more than a third. But Lin Xiuxuan's efforts to arouse the vigilance of the British army also failed. With the tenacity of the Japanese, even if they suffered heavy losses, they were afraid that they would have to take further action.

5 kilometers away from this show, the first batch of expeditionary forces to enter the Burmese officer corps station. Several officers were gathered in a room with felt-cluded windows on all sides, still fearing that the light would leak out and be attacked by air raids, and only a few rows of candles were lit in the room.

Most of the attendees were high-ranking officers, or at least colonels, but somehow there was a lieutenant among them, who sat on one side, crossed his legs, and listened quietly to the commanders complaining about the bad prospects.
