499 Target: Gandhi

Chu Tingchang's troops went all the way north, without following the pursuers, and although they avoided the most difficult mountains at the bottom of the Hukang Valley, they still became the only troops to enter the Savage Mountain, because they were too far from the coast, and soon broke out of the full communication range of 419.

However, at this time, 419 no longer paid attention to the synthetic regiment of the muddy mountain march, and in the eyes of Cheng Dayang and Lin Xiuxuan, the Japanese army had stayed around Tamanti, and its purpose was clear. Their next attack on India was not to the north, but to Imphal. This, of course, depends on two unavoidable military judgments: first, that access to India is relatively flat; The second offensive had to rely on an amphibious assault, so it could not be far from Chittagong. Asano is well aware of the historical defeat at the Battle of Imphal, so he should avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, especially if the Japanese navy still has an advantage.

On the whole, Chu Tingchang now has 4,000 troops in his hands (not counting the Weingate), and he should be the third largest army leader in northern Myanmar after Sun Liren and Liao Yaoxiang, and he will definitely be a general relied on by both China and the United States in the future. This is also the embarrassment faced by 419, because creating a big man out of thin air and becoming one of the historical celebrities is bound to have an impact in the future.

In Magway, which was controlled by the Japanese army, in the mansion arranged by Keiji Suzuki, the frustrated Asano and Masanobu Tsuji were surrounded by a group of geisha and drank sullen alcohol.

This place was actually designated by Asano, who had stayed at this hilltop villa a month earlier, and was later killed in a mess of grass at the bottom of the mountain; Asano wanted to come here to welcome the victory and at the same time pay homage to his old friend. Hasegawa's death left him stunned, and he lost his important weight in the fight against Makino.

The geisha painted with big white faces played and sang hard, and performed hard, but the three of them were sullen except for Suzuki, who could barely squeeze out a smile; Because they did not wait for victory here, they waited for the news of the loss of their troops. At the end of the Burma Campaign, the Japanese army suffered a staggering 45,000 men, more than the other battlefields in the South Seas combined.

"Asano-kun, don't keep your face shy, since the war in Myanmar ended in a complete victory for our side, let's do this cup first." As Suzuki spoke, a geisha snuggled up and poured Asano a drink, and Asano tilted his neck and drank clean.

"Troops, there must be something wrong, history should not evolve like this."

Asano slammed down the cup.

Seeing that he was about to mention the secret, Suzuki hurriedly motioned for the idlers here to withdraw. Eventually, there were only three people left in the room.

"Chu Corps...... Did this Chu Tingchang really appear in Shanghai? Asano gritted his teeth and said, obviously they had communicated before, at least he finally knew about the existence of Chu Tingchang.

"I mentioned it when His Excellency Kagesa was here, but I didn't go into details, you know that we are engaged in intelligence, and we like to hide what we know in our hearts, rather than record it," Keiji Suzuki nodded, "But now that His Excellency Kagesa is deep in India, there are many things that cannot be known." And there are great changes in personnel in Shanghai, and I can't find Kinoshita-kun for a while, but I heard that I went to His Excellency Kawamoto in Tianjin to be in charge of a confidential mission, or your companion Makino-kun-kun. ”

"How can there be such a person in China?"

"Most of our current intelligence comes from open information from the Allies, and this man is actually the focus of propaganda by the Allies, and in the last month alone, six newspapers and publications in the U.S. military have used his portrait. Most of the time in his unit, there was an American film crew. By the way, Asano-kun, since you are familiar with history, do you have an impression of this person? ”

"Not at all...... Could it be that our appearance has messed up history and allowed small people who should have been unknown to come out and destroy good things? ”

Asano continued to linger, he knew very little about historical disturbances, thinking that everything was simply superimposed, since in the original history, the Japanese army was able to strangle the Chinese elite in Savage Mountain, then with his little guidance, he would definitely be able to go one step further on this basis, and as a result, a Chu Tingchang came out and mixed up everything.

"What else do you think of this man?"

"I always felt that there was something strange about why he was when I was in Shanghai. And now to Myanmar again? Could it be that the disturbance of history that Makino is talking about, referring to such a thing? ”

"Anyway, Makino did a good job there, the 5th Division swept away the Americans' vaunted 1st Marine Division in New Guinea."

Masanobu Tsuji, who was sullen on the side, spoke, as if he was deliberately angry with Asano.

"It's my idea to abandon Solomon's army and focus on attacking New Guinea, but Makino happens to be there, in addition to being able to draw drawings, what kind of advanced strategy does he have?" Asano said coldly, but Tsuji's words reminded him, why didn't there be a historical disturbance in Makino? Thinking about it, it's just that I'm thinking too much, and the harm of this Chu Pavilion Chief should be just a flash in the pan.

"I think the navy's fleet is already on its way to Mengjiala Bay, and General Kimura is urging me to immediately launch a special operation to prepare for the landing. Now Chandrabose is confident and ready to take over the entire Congress party. ”

"Are you really going to kill Gandhi?" Masanobu Tsuji asked, having always believed that military action could solve all problems and was not too interested in such things as assassinations.

"Yes, the British thought that everything would be fine with the transfer of Indian troops, but India is already a * barrel, and it only takes one spark to ignite."

"I also think it's a great strategy." Asano poured himself another glass and echoed that his view of history always made him inclined to all kinds of opportunism, and it was not surprising to agree with Suzuki.

"However, what needs to be done is very thorough, once we miss, we will lose the hearts and minds of the people of India before we enter India."

"Rest assured, I have designed everything with the Sixth Division of the Imperial Security Bureau...... In all cases, there will be many Congress Party inmates present as witnesses," said Suzuki, clasping his hands and showing confidence.

"If that's the case, that's fine." Asano was confused, for the first time since he began to design history, he felt that history should not be blurred, so that he had to rely on the wisdom of the people of his time.

Suzuki clapped his hands vigorously, and the dancers who were waiting outside swarmed in and continued to sing and dance.

On the 419, the trio was still judging the situation, due to the complex terrain, even if the submarine used the underwater acoustic channel in this area, the range that could be monitored could only go to the Andaman Islands, and the situation east of Malacca was completely unknown. They had just spotted six Japanese light cruisers entering the Bay of Bengal and were confronting the Dutch fleet near the island of Andaman Island, but no aircraft carriers were found. Perhaps these warships came with their eyes on the British aircraft carrier Jingshen, or perhaps with other purposes.

Judging from the previous actions of Yamamoto's fleet, his way of attacking was to directly use submarines to reconnoiter the route, and then the high-speed aircraft carrier squadron took the lead.

Judging from the telegrams he heard, Marshall sent several encrypted telegrams to Stilwell, the contents of which were similar, but each of them contained some earnest new instructions, which were the usual ones, asking him not to be excessively entangled with Chongqing in some personnel details.

In the bloody month of May, Burma was one of the few bright spots for the allies, and while it was difficult for ordinary people to see much hope in a fart retreat, he saw examples of the successful use of American equipment, and he admired the legendary Chinese general's battlefield instincts. This also proves from the side that American weapons are superior, completely contrary to the feedback received in North Africa and the Soviet Union, the Russians and the British always depreciate the effectiveness of American weapons, so he suggested that the Chinese army should be equipped first, which is also what the president meant.

It seems that Chu Tingchang's troops were quickly armed, and it was a sure thing. Lin Xiuxuan was about to discuss this matter, but unexpectedly, the Guantong department made a discovery, and the sonar heard that the Japanese submarine parked at Sittwe Port had been dispatched, and it went straight to the northwest. They decided to track the enemy's movements.

It was not realistic to attack the British fleet with such old submarines, and given that the Japanese had a precedent for rescuing people off the coast of Rangoon, Lin Xiuxuan suggested that they might have a special mission, and from the information they had, the Japanese might go to save Nehru or Gandhi. But he couldn't figure out what the Japanese were trying to do to save Gandhi, Gandhi was unlikely to cooperate with the Japanese military, and non-violence was his consistent advocacy for rectification. And with some heavyweights, Bose's position will be challenged.

The sonar soon detected the appearance of another sneaky submarine near Achab, which was close to the voiceprint signature of the U-boat recorded 2 months earlier, and it looked like things were getting complicated. Hayashi subconsciously thought that countermeasures should be formulated immediately, but his information was almost blank, except that he knew that Gandhi was in the island prison, there was nothing superfluous, and he didn't even know that Kage Satsuaki was also locked up in the same place, and he didn't have the internal plan of the facilities on the island, so he naturally couldn't formulate-for-tat actions.

Two Japanese submarines were heading off the coast of Calcutta as they sailed one after the other, without any other escort. Each ship had a force of 30 Japanese and 30 Indians, armed with captured automatic weapons. Except for Captain Nitta Wakaji, who was in the lead, no one on the submarine knew the whole plan. For the Yugoslav authorities, this is an action that cannot afford to be missed.

In 10 hours, the two submarines took advantage of the night to approach Calcutta, and the British fleet led by the Athletic God had already left to guard the Andaman to support the Dutch fleet, of course, in case the Japanese fleet appeared, it would be convenient to escape and not be blocked in Mengjia Bay. Now it's empty here, just a couple of gunboats.

The Japanese submarine did not take advantage of the moonlight to launch an immediate operation, but floated to the periscope level to send a report, and sure enough, it got a response from the German U-boat, it seems that there is really some conspiracy, but unfortunately the cracked message is only an agreed action, there are no specific details.

The submarine surfaced, and the team members began to pump up the rubber boat on the foredeck, and after a while, 60 special forces, divided into 12 small boats, headed towards the small island where political prisoners were held, and at the same time, the U-boat in the distance did not move, but only maintained the periscope depth. The 419, which was secretly tracking, took off the drone and looked down from the air, but it was still confused and could not figure out what the enemy's purpose was.
