The final stage of the plan, of course, was to proceed step by step, with the Superior Division and the gendarmes, seizing radio and communication codes from the place where the assassins had plotted, as well as all kinds of evidence.

In view of the existence of a non-aggression pact between Japan and the Soviet Union, and the fact that the new national policy could not be an enemy of the Soviet Union, the scourge of this assassination will not be directed directly to the Soviet Union, but to the Chinese Communists. The entire assassination plan will be characterized as an act planned by the CCP and carried out by traitors hiding among the Japanese, conspiring to disrupt the good situation of the jihad.

Ying Zuo looked at his plan, in fact, there were some flaws, first of all, it was not so credible to blame the CCP, and it was doubtful whether the CCP was capable of directing such an assassination. The second is that there are too many links, and he knows that too complex actions are prone to mistakes. For example, the plan needs to coax the die-hard members of the Japanese Republic and the Imperial Road faction at the same time, get them involved, and finally have to kill them, will they detect it in advance? Or just give up out of timidity? These are unknowns.

Of course, he also has a backup plan, once the assassin is timid, he will use his own people, and then arrange the corpses of these Japanese communists near the council hall to form a chain of evidence, but this will leave more clues, more aftermath measures are needed, and insiders need to be eliminated one by one in the next few months. And Kagezo knows very well, so these puppets are cleaned up to the end, and they are left with themselves, and once the moment comes to stop the loss, they will not hesitate to kill themselves.

But he had no choice, the time given by the guards was too tight, and he could only do it at the end of the year, in fact, Tojo was originally scheduled to go to Southeast Asia in February to inspect, according to his habits, he must take army bombers, so he needed to make frequent transfers in Southeast Asia, this was the best time to kill him at the lowest cost, and politically it was easy to blame Britain and the United States. It's a pity that Japan can't wait 60 days. Japan's war machine was still rumbling, but the turning point was imminent, or had already arrived, when the newly reported navy engaged the U.S. fleet east of the Coral Sea, ending in heavy Japanese losses. It seems that in the dark, Asano's most feared turning point, the Battle of Midway, was only postponed, and the losses were even greater.

The whole plan, without leaving any words, was all memorized in his head, and of course there were some plans of the council hall, on which the routes and arrows were drawn, although only he could understand them, and when the plan was completed, it was also burned. In the evening, he would tell the guard all about his plans and tell him what to do. It would be better if you could find a lighter fuse, and the ticking of the clock timer is also a problem, and it is true that Bhamo is the leading party, but that does not mean that he must be stupid.

In Jingdong, Burma, Chu Tingchang met with Chen Cheng again and informed the commander of the expeditionary force of his plan to seize Myitkyina in collusion with Stilwell.

In fact, Chen Cheng's defense area is in the east of the Nujiang River, which has little to do with this campaign, of course, out of respect, and I really want to touch Guo Rugui, Chu Tingchang still personally went to explain the plan in detail.

Guo Rugui just listened carefully on the side, and no one said anything, let alone heard any hints. Chief Chu wanted to arrange for Guo Rugui to inspect the front line, after all, he was also a counselor of the National Defense Research Institute, and it was his duty to walk around. The original intention was to create a chance for him to meet Xiong Xianghui, but Guo Rugui politely refused on the grounds that he had diarrhea recently, these guys who are good at hiding are not so easy to guess their ideas.

Chen Cheng praised Pavilion Chief Chu's bold idea, and he proposed that he could attack from several directions at the same time and deal with the enemy with a faster speed. Chu Tingchang felt that the strong attack would inevitably cause huge casualties, so it was better to divide the primary and secondary directions, and there was no need to be too greedy for speed. This made Chen Cheng quite surprised, surprised that he always had the string of casualties in his mind, which was unique among the soldiers Chen Cheng had come into contact with.

When Xue Yue was defending Changsha, he constantly sent Whampoa trainees to bundle* and rush into the enemy group and die with them, this tactic did not have much tactical significance, that is, to convey to the Japanese the message that the Chinese are not afraid of death. Because of the victory in the sea of blood in Changsha's corpse mountain, Xue Yue received the first Blue Sky and White Sun Medal of the year. But the winner of the third Blue Sky and White Sun Medal in front of him, Chu Tingchang, known as the "contemporary Kong Ming", has always been looking for problems for himself, he not only wants to defeat the Japanese, but also reduce his own losses.

When Chu Tingchang introduced the plan, he always mentioned the word exchange ratio, Chen Cheng looked at the business, of course he knew what it meant. The military conference in Chongqing will not submit a comparison, nor will it introduce words with similar meanings, because it is to make itself ugly. On the domestic battlefield, with a five-fold and tenfold superiority in troops, there were not a few who were defeated by the Japanese army. As for the "exchange ratio" of these defeats, it is even more a bad account, many troops are paid empty salaries, and many strong men starve to death before they reach the battlefield, and there is no way to calculate them carefully.

"Brother Ting, you have not been to a military academy for half a year, but you know the army so well, far better than those of us who have gone to the military academy and fought for half our lives. Hugely different, it's not like ......"

Chen Cheng suddenly felt something, sighed for a while, and then stopped there. It seems that something interesting came to his lips, and he couldn't describe it for a while.

"Commander, do you want to say that Commander Chu is not like a mortal? Like Kong Ming alive? Guo Rugui, who has not spoken much, took over, "Hey, in fact, Kong Ming has never attended an officer school, and he didn't know the army as soon as he was born?" ”

Guo Rugui seems to have relieved the siege for Pavilion Chief Chu, if Chen Cheng said at the end: You are not like people of our time, Pavilion Chief Chu is really difficult to deal with.

"Chu also learned some mobile warfare when he followed his second son in northern Myanmar."

"No, no, the second son is not so godly, the second son assisted Mai Dashuai, and he just suffered a defeat." Chen Cheng shook his head, "By the way, I have something I want to ask the pavilion chief about you." ”

"Don't dare to be."

"Do you think that in today's operations, firepower is more important or mobility is more important?"

"In my opinion. Of course, there are needs for each according to the time and place, but most of the time, mobility is more important. ”

Chen Cheng nodded, this answer was completely within his expectations. But he had to ask in detail.

"How so?"

"Even if there are few troops, if you can grasp the advantage of mobility, you can be outnumbered everywhere, on the contrary, although there are many troops, you can't maneuver, you can only fortify everywhere and you can't defend it. In the end, it can only be outnumbered locally and be divided and eliminated. ”

"Well said. Well said. But in this mountainous area of northern Burma, the Japanese army is so good at mountain maneuvering, how can we suppress it with maneuver? ”

"Occupying the highway is one of them, which can give full play to the advantages of our army's wheels and tracks on the Japanese army's horses, but mobility is not necessarily a vehicle, today's paratroopers, when recruited, come to be able to fight, if you can be good at using it, it is also the way to win."

"Uh-huh, that makes sense."

Chen Cheng nodded yes, but he was actually in a fog of listening. Chu Tingchang's "Chu Clan's Art of War," which is chattering and avoiding the important and trivial, quietly bypasses the most important "reconnaissance chapter," or the part of intelligence warfare. Otherwise, there are several highways in northern Myanmar, how can he know which one can be walked and which one cannot be walked.

Xu Chong flew for several hours to the airport near Dhaka, East India, where a force of 90 men had already been formed, and because he was the only one who had penetrated into the field, he had to command the battle. According to the plan, they will take off before dawn and land at the top of the mountain after dawn, bypassing the east (avoiding the sun).

The Takeuchi division hollowed out the mountain and hid his heavy artillery in the mountain, and the mission of the assault team was to eliminate the heavy fire points that these planes could not hit from above. There are two ways to destroy these large-caliber guns, one is to attack the gun position and destroy the gun barrel, and the other is to create a landslide through blasting to block the gun position's firing range. Then the ground troops will be able to fight through the passes. The process of ground attack is also very complicated, and it is necessary to clear the road in a minefield under enemy fire, but fortunately, Chu Tingchang has a ready-made Lan Xiang unit in his hands.

The unit formed this time is still a mixed Sino-American force, and the US commander is still Lieutenant Winters, who cooperated with Xu Chong during the attack on Sittwe Port, but because the US 40 people are responsible for attacking and carrying out the blasting, including many engineers, the combat effectiveness has been discounted, while the 60 men on the Chinese side are responsible for covering and repelling the enemy's counterattack when the US side carries out the blasting.

Dick Winters saw Xu Chong coming, and took the initiative to come over and shake Xu Chong's hand, in fact, he had been holding back some questions and wanted to ask Xu Chong in person. The last time they attacked Sittwe together, Xu Chong was 250 meters away, sniping continuously and accurately, killing 2 Burmese puppet soldiers who were dragging cannons, and finally made the cannons roll down from the commanding heights, which Winters saw in his eyes. Later, he also bothered to count it, the cannon rolled down the steep slope, and a total of 58 enemy soldiers were smashed to either death or injury, while Xu Chong only fired two shots.

Winters casually pulled an interpreter to the side: "Xu, how did you hit the side of a human body less than a foot wide from 760 feet away with two consecutive shots?" I examined the body, and it was all through the chest. ”

The second knife was completely unsatisfactory to the translation, but fortunately, Xu Chong's English in terms of military terminology was okay, and he understood it in advance. So before waiting for the interpreter to stammer, there was time to think about how to make up a lie.

"Our family's ancestral hunters," Xu Chong said, giving a thumbs up, "all have good marksmanship." Top good. Better than me. ”

Winters waited for the translator to finish, and shook his head, expressing disbelief. When he was a child, most of the hunters in rural Pennsylvania were still hunting with front-loading smoothbore guns, and very few of them were more than 100 meters above the right head, and he did not believe that Chinese hunters were better equipped.

"Xu, I've seen your plan, it's very risky."

"Are you afraid to take risks as a paratrooper?"

"Don't be afraid of ......," the lieutenant said, handing over a small bottle of wine.

"I thought you didn't drink."

"Who told you that? Was it Lieutenant Nixon? The lieutenant's face changed slightly, "I'm just not used to drinking in normal times." But before the war, tension can be relieved. ”

"I see."

"By the way, why did you become a soldier?"

"Of course, it's to confront China's opponents."

"Japanese Army?"

"Not exactly."
