Chapter 132: A squadron of fighters? No, the price has increased!
"William, I heard that you didn't come back last night again." Looking at his comrade who was coughing heavily, Sergeant John next to him frowned and said.

"Sergeant, this military station is too boring, so we went out to find some fun." William looked at his squad leader, yawned, and said nonchalantly.

For them, this boring garrison mission would drive them crazy if they didn't find some fun.

Sergeant John naturally knew that the so-called fun was to go to the nearby indigenous village and find some women.

This situation cannot be stopped despite repeated bans.

It's because being stationed at a military station is so boring.

If you don't entertain yourself, you'll really go crazy.

There are many people like this who go out to have fun.

Some are addicted to alcohol or gambling.

"It's your turn to stand guard today. Pick up your weapon and stand guard." Sergeant John ordered.

"Hey, Sergeant, I'm very tired. Can you let me have a good rest today? You don't know, I fought hard all night last night, and I defeated Mike next to me. I won honor for our class." William said proudly.

Hearing this, John showed a hint of displeasure on his face.

"William, I don't need such an honor at all. Now, take up your weapon and stand guard."

Seeing his squad leader's unquestionable tone, William had no choice but to pick up his rifle and walk towards the sentry post.

Walking and yawning all the way.

"William, I heard that you fought all night last night. You looked awesome." The corporal in charge of changing shifts said enviously when he saw William.

"Hey, brother, you don't know how powerful I am." William boasted to him as he replaced shifts with him.

After the handover was completed, William forced himself to stay awake and looked into the distance.

As a result, I fell asleep while watching.

After a while, the sound of snoring filled the entire sentry post.

Inside the military station, the British soldiers were boasting and drinking heavily.

For them, that's all the fun left.

Everyone was drunk.

At this time, about three kilometers outside the military station, a team of Japanese soldiers crouched and approached the military station cautiously.

According to intelligence, a large amount of supplies are stored in the military depot.

If they didn't want to starve, they had to find a way to take over the military station without bloodshed.

But this is totally unrealistic. After all, the British soldiers at the military station are not fools and there will definitely be sentries.

In response, Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai directly dispatched elite troops to crawl forward.

Try to eliminate the sentry as quietly as possible, and then launch the charge with the main force.

The supplies at the military depot must not be destroyed.

"Second Lieutenant, there seems to be no British troops at the sentry post." A Japanese soldier reported in a low voice.

"Baka, keep your voice down." The lieutenant glared at him. If he hadn't been crawling on all fours, he would have slapped him in the face.

"Hay."

"Well, since there are no British troops, let's move over there." The second lieutenant waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers around him quickly crawled towards the sentry post in front in a standard crawling posture.

The Japanese soldiers were seen biting their bayonets in their mouths to prevent themselves from hitting rocks while crawling, as the pain would cause them to scream out subconsciously.

Therefore, even if it was extremely painful, it would not make too much noise when biting the bayonet.

At the same time, when jumping up, you can also stab the enemy at the fastest speed.

After all, the speed of taking a bayonet from the mouth is different from the speed of taking a bayonet from the waist.

When I arrived at the sentry post, I heard a deafening snoring sound coming from inside.

The Japanese soldiers looked at each other in confusion. Sleeping in broad daylight?

Is this the British Army?
It was not until this time that the Japanese army suddenly realized that there seemed to be no difference between the British Indian Army and the British Burmese Army.

Are they overthinking it?
Corporal William felt dazed and felt that there were people all around him. He opened his eyes subconsciously and saw several Japanese soldiers around him.

My brain froze instantly.

How could there be Japanese troops?

With the little remaining brain capacity he had, he simply couldn't understand why there were Japanese troops here?

Shouldn't it be on the Imphal front?
Could it be a dream?
Unfortunately, it was not until his neck was cut and breathing became difficult that William realized that this was not a dream but reality.

In an instant, his pupils revealed an expression of fear and his body began to struggle desperately. He wanted to survive.

He hasn't enjoyed it enough yet.

His fiancée is still waiting for him.

Unfortunately, his consciousness was growing weaker and weaker, and his body was unable to struggle.

Take down the sentry and the rest will be much easier.

When Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai learned the news, an excited smile instantly appeared on his face and he immediately ordered his subordinates to launch an attack.

boom!
boom!
boom!
As the gunshots continued, the British troops at the military station finally reacted.

Although they didn't understand why there were Japanese troops here.

But the atmosphere of fear spread throughout the entire military station. Some British soldiers remembered the brutality of the Japanese army and did not even think of fighting back. They simply dropped their weapons and began to flee into the distance.

Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai was too lazy to order a pursuit. His current task was to count the supplies.

In order to force the march these days, the amount of combat rations has been increased.

The purpose is to fill their stomachs and have strength to fight after the rapid march.

In other words, if the military depot cannot obtain supplies, they will collapse without a fight.

Fortunately, this time with the blessing of Amaterasu, they were able to seize a large amount of supplies.

Looking at the countless supplies in front of him, Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai swallowed his saliva.

With these supplies, his troops could reach Imphal.

We can attack Imphal from the north and south with the 18th Division.

Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai was instantly extremely excited when he thought about the countless honors waiting for him.

"Order, everyone rest immediately and attack Imphal in three hours."

"Also send a telegram to Mutaguchi-kun, telling him that we have seized a large amount of supplies, enough to sustain us for three months of operations."

Lieutenant General Shozo Sakurai calmed down and began to give orders.

"Hi." The communications staff responded immediately.

When Mutaguchi Renya received the telegram, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

The information turned out to be true.

Those military depots really have supplies.

At the same time, it is a bit of a pity. If a division was sent out, the previous scene of 50,000 forced landing of 100,000 could be replicated.

It's too late to send reinforcements now, the allied forces on the opposite side must have received the intelligence.

If we send reinforcements at this time, they will only be bombed.

Thinking of this, Mutaguchi Renya immediately dispatched all the air forces, aiming to capture the Allied fighter planes over Imphal.

In addition, he once again ordered the vassal troops to attack the position.

"Sir, can you let my troops rest for a while? My First Division has lost nearly half of its soldiers, and their morale is very low." Aung San looked at Mutaguchi Lian'ya in front of him and pleaded.

Even if he was a fool, he would know what Mutaguchi Ren'ya was thinking, which was to consume these vassal troops.

In the eyes of the other side, the so-called vassal army is nothing more than a group of cannon fodder.

As for Major General Chachai next to him, his face also showed anticipation.

His troops also lost nearly half of their strength. If the battle continued, he might lose a whole division. Mutaguchi Renya remained expressionless. If it was before, he would have to coax these vassal troops with a pleasant face.

But it is totally unnecessary now.

If you don't listen, just change it.

After all, he was about to complete his strategic plan to outflank Imphal from the north and south.

He had even drafted a telegram asking Kawabe Masamitsu to immediately send more vassal troops.

Now Siam can be considered their ally, and it has every responsibility and obligation to dispatch more vassal troops.

You don't want to pay anything, but just want to reap the benefits?
Is this possible?

Mutaguchi Renya sneered.

"My troops have bypassed Imphal and now I need you to use your courage and blood to break through the position in front of you."

"As for the troops you lost, I will replenish them for you. Reinforcements are on the way and will arrive in three days at most."

"So, what reason do you have for refusing to attack?"

Hearing this, Aung San and Chachai showed a hint of shock on their faces.

Actually went back to the rear of Imphal?

This method of deploying troops is simply a stroke of genius.

The British army would never have imagined that a troop would go around to their rear.

Thinking of this, the two men did not dare to say anything more and could only go back to reorganize their armaments.

Originally, the morale of these vassal troops was very low, and some even showed anti-war sentiments.

But now, everyone is crying out, especially Xu Nuo, who says that once Imphal is taken, he will let them plunder for three days.

Morale was high again at the thought of the vast wealth of Imphal.

"Are these natives crazy?" At the front line, the soldiers of the newly formed 38th Division looked at the natives at the bottom and said puzzledly.

"I don't know. It's like they took drugs. They're all crazy."

"Could it be that the Japanese army is supervising the battle from the rear?" many veterans speculated.

Soon, this abnormal situation immediately attracted Sun Liren's attention.

"Something is wrong, something is wrong, very wrong. These natives shouldn't be like this."

If all the natives had this kind of fearless spirit, Imphal would not have been possible to defend.

After all, supplies will run out one day, and there are tens of millions of indigenous people.

"Commander, what happened?" Deputy Division Commander Tang Shouzhi asked in confusion.

"I don't know, but something must have happened. We don't know anything now and can't make any judgment." Sun Liren took a deep breath and then gave the order.

"Except for the troops at the frontline who are counterattacking, the rest of the troops should not move in case of an emergency."

"Commander, do you mean that the Japanese army has completed the encirclement?" Deputy Division Commander Tang Shouzhi showed a trace of disbelief on his face.

"I don't know, but it must be related to this." Sun Liren shook his head. Now he could only pray in his heart that the British army would fight for their dignity and nothing would happen.

As a result, his prayers were really answered.

Something big has happened.

At the Allied Headquarters, Admiral Wavell looked at the telegram in his hand in disbelief, exchanged a glance with Stilwell, and said tremblingly.

"Two squadrons?"

"Yes, Admiral Wavell, can you tell me that your depot is not infallible?"

"Shit, you liar, Imphal is now caught between the north and the south, tell me, what should we do now?" Stilwell was completely furious. He had chosen to trust Admiral Wavell again and again, and this was how this guy repaid him?
"General Stilwell, please be respectful." Admiral Wavell was a little embarrassed after being scolded. After all, he was the Governor-General of India and the Commander-in-Chief of the British Indian Army. His status was much higher than Stilwell.

As a result, being scolded like this naturally made him feel a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, Stilwell continued to mock.

"Respect? Tell me, how can I respect you? Respect requires strength. Admiral Wavell, what is the strength of the British army? Is it running away?"

Stilwell had controlled his temper before, but now he would not tolerate the other party and started scolding him directly.

Admiral Wavell was speechless after being scolded by the other side. It was all the British army's fault.

A regiment of British troops ran away without firing a shot?

This is not Myanmar.

It was deliberately discarded by the British army.

This is India!

If this is lost again, the British Empire will be completely finished.

Without the title of Emperor of India, who would care about him?

For a moment, Admiral Wavell even wanted to kill the fleeing commander.

"General Stilwell, now is not the time to argue about this."

"I think we should send more transport planes to move the remaining troops to Imphal."

"Only with enough troops can we defend Imphal." Admiral Wavell took a deep breath and said.

"You are right, but I ask you to immediately dispatch a flying squadron to the Sichuan Army in Myitkyina." Stilwell said to him coldly.

"Don't refuse, otherwise I will transfer all these transport planes to Myitkyina. I believe we can definitely transport a division's worth of weapons and ammunition in the shortest possible time."

This is not exaggeration. Fifty transport planes can definitely transport a division's weapons and ammunition within three days.

With these weapons and ammunition, the Sichuan Army could basically complete its reorganization.

"I..." Admiral Wavell wanted to refuse, but Imphal really couldn't be lost.

"I agree. I will dispatch a squadron of fighter planes right away."

Hearing this, Stilwell breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to order the Flying Tigers to transport British troops to the rear.

At the same time, transport aircraft were also used to increase the supply of weapons to the Sichuan Army Corps.

Cun Yunsheng, who received the telegram, looked at the telegram in his hand and laughed heartily.

"Damn the British, are you finally getting anxious?"

"How dare you scold me? I've never been scolded like this in my life."

"How dare you call me a yellow monkey?"

"Humph, if you don't bleed a little this time, you want me to send troops? Don't even think about it."

After reading the telegram, Cun Yunsheng said to Meng Fanle.

"Commander, you are really amazing. You predicted the Japanese army's prediction." Meng Fanle couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Just what will happen next? What if Imphal is lost?"

"Don't worry, Imphal will not be lost. The British know how important it is. They will definitely go crazy and send troops to defend it to the death." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said.

"Stilwell will not abandon Imphal. He will definitely use a large number of transport planes to transport soldiers and supplies from the rear."

"This time, the worst-hit city should be Shancheng."

"Mountain City? Why them?" Meng Fanle asked in confusion.

"Need I say more? The Hump Route has been affected. Won't those troops who are crying out for food be in a panic?" Cun Yunsheng smiled.

"But, this is a good opportunity for us."

"Commander, General Stilwell sent another telegram, a squadron of fighter planes will arrive soon."

"A squadron? No no no!"

“The price has gone up now!”
