Chapter 317 Yu Xiaoqing’s Change!

"Baga, are the British troops crazy?" At the Japanese Army Headquarters, Lieutenant General Kimura Heitaro, the Chief of the Army, looked at the telegram in his hand, slammed the table and shouted angrily.

The reason why the Japanese army was so restrained in the Pacific battlefield was because they were afraid that the US army would also drop special bombs.

It turned out that their restraint was right.

If they dared to do anything out of line, the special bombs thrown by the US military would definitely make the Japanese army despair.

Now that the British army took the initiative to drop special bombs, the Japanese army naturally felt a little frightened.

Has the attack on India already touched the bottom line of the British army?

It shouldn’t be!

Even if India is the bottom line of the British army, it is impossible for them to drop special bombs.

After some investigation, it was discovered that the British army used special bullets to retaliate in the same way because the Japanese army was the first to use special bullets in Wuzhou City.

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Kimura Heitaro fell silent.

"Baka, baka, Nakazono Moritaka is such an idiot..." He was not scolding the other party for using special bullets, but he was just disappointed in him.

Don't you know how to do things more covertly?

Can't you just leave no evidence?

Now that the Allies know about this, given their size, I'm afraid what will happen next will be extremely tragic.

Thinking of this, Kimura Heitaro took a deep breath and then said.

"We must give an explanation to the international community by making Nakazono Moritaka, who ordered the firing of the special missile, commit seppuku. Otherwise, the Allies will intensify their retaliation against us."

Hearing this, all the officers in the base camp looked at each other in surprise.

When did they need to suffer such injustice?

And you actively order others to commit suicide by disembowelment?
If this gets out, it will definitely shake the morale of the army.

"Baga, if we don't show our attitude, then the Allied forces will drop tens of thousands of special bullets on our heads. How many soldiers will we have to spare?" Heitaro Kimura cursed in frustration.

Don’t these idiots know that Britain and the United States are not weak China?

They have a lot of special bullets.

If they are pushed into a corner, won't these special bullets be fired at their heads?

At this moment, Kimura Heitaro was scared.

Yes!

He is really scared!

Now everyone in the base camp also reacted and agreed with Kimura Heitaro's suggestion.

"In addition, send someone to communicate with Britain and the United States and tell them that the special bomb last time was just an accident. We will ensure to abide by international conventions in the future." Kimura Heitaro thought for a while and said again.

"Hay."

…………

"Damn it, these are a bunch of idiots in the headquarters." Lieutenant General Nakazono Moritaka roared angrily.

He actually forced his subordinates to commit suicide by seppuku.

Such an extremely stupid order can be issued.

He didn't know what those idiots at the base were thinking.

After reading the entire content of the telegram, Lieutenant General Nakazono Moritaka fell silent.

Ok!

This time, the operation was really not done cleanly, and the other party actually let the matter get to Britain and the United States.

More importantly, the British army directly dropped special bombs on the Japanese army in Tianzhu.

The resulting casualties were enormous.

Kawabe Masamitsu even made a direct accusation and demanded that the idiot Nakazono Moritaka be punished.

It was obvious that their offensive in India was extremely successful, and they even brought back large quantities of scarce materials such as steel.

The results of it?
The good situation was completely destroyed because of the idiot Nakazono Moritaka.

This made Hebian Zhengsan extremely angry.

Originally, they could have defeated the British army head-on when reinforcements arrived.

Now, because of the special bullets, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers have been lost on the front line.

As a result, the defense line collapsed and they had no choice but to retreat, giving the British army a chance to catch their breath.

Lieutenant General Nakazono Moritaka knew why the headquarters was so angry.

Compared to the large amount of steel that the Japanese army in India transported back to the base camp, he did not transport much food back, but instead caused trouble.

Letting his subordinates commit suicide by seppuku was already giving him face.

Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Nakazono Moritaka sighed.

"Send a telegram to Major Jiro Higashino and tell him that he can either take Wuzhou City and die heroically, or commit suicide by seppuku. This is the best choice I can give him."

"Hai."

…………

"Admiral Wavell is truly an extraordinary man of courage." Stilwell looked at the latest battle report and had to say that Admiral Wavell was indeed very smart. He understood what he meant so quickly.

More importantly, they put it into practice.

Now it seems that the effect is not bad.

The Japanese army lost tens of thousands of people, and its originally fierce offensive momentum was instantly retracted.

Even when Admiral Wavell called him, he had a happy expression on his face, completely free of his previous anxiety and nervousness.

Obviously, the other party thinks that all problems can be solved with special bullets.

"General Stilwell, you said that," the adjutant said with a smile.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid the other party wouldn't have thought of this."

Hearing this, Stilwell revealed a smug smile, mainly attributing it to Cun Yunsheng's reminder.

As an ally, it is natural to help your allies solve their problems.

Now it seems that Admiral Wavell is still very grateful for his help.

"It's time to let Du Yuming's expeditionary force move. Their supplies have been almost replenished. If they continue like this, Admiral Wavell will be very dissatisfied." Stilwell said.

During this period, Admiral Wavell spent a lot of time and effort and transported a lot of supplies, so it would be really unreasonable if the expeditionary force did not continue the attack.

"Yes." The adjutant also felt that after resting for such a long time, it was almost time to move.

Regardless of how great the results of the battle will be, at least we must take action to let the British army see our sincerity.

Not long after, Du Yuming received Stilwell's telegram.

"It looks like we have to move. If we continue like this, I'm afraid it won't work." Du Yuming said.

"Yes, the British must be impatient. They have urged us several times, but we always dismissed them with different reasons. Now it's time to take action." Zheng Dongguo also said.

"Who's going?"

Stilwell's telegram asked them to send some troops and launch a pretend attack, at least to let the British army see their attitude.

"How about I go?" Sun Liren, who had already become impatient, spoke up.

Who knows, Du Yuming shook his head and refused. "No, there is no need to send the main force now. The Japanese army has not lost many troops. Let the British army continue to consume the Japanese army for a while."

What a joke! Ever since being enlightened by Cun Yunsheng, the honest man Du Yuming has made changes.

He did not forget the soldiers of the Fifth Army, half of whom were killed by the British army, so he had to avenge these people.

"Then who will lead the troops? Should we let Jianchu lead the troops?" Zheng Dongguo asked doubtfully.

"There's no need. Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" Du Yuming still shook his head and refused.

"Then who should we send?" Zheng Dongguo was even more confused. This wouldn't work, that wouldn't work, so who should go?
"I remember there was a deputy commander in his thirties? What was his name, Yu something? He kept shouting for revenge." Du Yuming scratched his head, as if trying to remember who he was.

"Yu Xiaoqing? Is he the deputy commander of the 54th Army?" Zheng Dongguo asked puzzledly.

"Yes, it's that young man who led the Sichuan Army into the Burmese battlefield before. Let him lead a division and give him 100,000 natives. Let him be responsible for being the vanguard, building roads through mountains and bridges across rivers, and solving marching troubles for subsequent troops." Du Yuming waved his hand and said lightly.

Hearing this, several people looked at each other. They didn't know why Du Yuming would send a young man from a ragtag army to do such a pioneering job.

Normally, shouldn't we send experienced officers?

These direct descendants are very clear about Yu Xiaoqing's promotion path.

Logically speaking, it is impossible to be qualified for promotion after a series of defeats.

But the outrageous thing is that not only has everything gone smoothly for them, but they have also become bigger and bigger.

"Sir, do you have a grudge against the other party?" Liao Yaoxiang asked puzzledly.

"No, I am the commander of the expeditionary force. How could I have any grudge against a deputy commander? I am just taking care of him and letting him get some military merits so that his deputy commander can have some real power." Du Yuming said casually.

Seeing that Du Yuming didn't want to tell the truth, several people stopped talking.

Anyway, the main force is composed of indigenous people and miscellaneous troops, so it’s not a big problem even if they suffer heavy losses.

Not long after, Yu Xiaoqing, who had been doing nothing, received an order from the headquarters, asking him to lead a division and 100,000 indigenous troops to attack the rear of the Japanese army.

This made Yu Xiaoqing a little confused.

Logically speaking, this kind of pioneering work should not be his turn.

But in the current situation, this is the order from the headquarters and he must obey it.

"General, could this be a trap?" Li Bing said in a low voice.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoqing frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure.

"Don't think too much. This is the command of the headquarters and we must obey it."

"But, this order looks like a suicide order? One hundred thousand natives? What can those natives do? They can't even build a camp. And the division we lead is a ragtag division with only more than 5,000 people. It's clearly a suicide order." Li Bing is not a fool. After all, to be able to be a traitor, he must have some brains.

No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this order was somewhat unreliable.

Pioneer?
Shouldn't elite troops be assigned to clear the way?
A group of ragtag troops with a group of ragtag natives, chasing after the elite Japanese army?
What a joke.

Can this combination defeat the Japanese army?
That's what the hell.

"This is an order from the headquarters. Unless you don't want to care about your head, shut up and carry out the mission." Yu Xiaoqing was originally in a good mood, but after hearing what Li Bing said, he felt a little uncomfortable.

You don't really want him to die, do you?
It shouldn’t be!

He is just a deputy army commander. Although his title seems high, he actually has no power.

He has no troops under his control.

Apart from the guard company led by Li Bing, there was nothing else.

The original Second Reserve Division was in Tang Ji's hands, watching over the main force of the Yu family's army on behalf of the Yu family.

"General, could it be that the headquarters did this on purpose?" Li Bing said with a sudden idea.

"What do you mean?" Ever since He Shuguang, Yu Zhi and Zhang Lixian left, the only person Yu Xiaoqing could rely on was Li Bing.

So he still attached great importance to what Li Bing said.

"During this period, I have heard people complain more than once that these natives are not good at work and have nothing left after eating. Many troops have already complained. More importantly, some troops have a great hatred for the natives. Several conflicts have broken out between the two sides, and some natives have been directly beaten to death." Li Bing said in a low voice about the news he had heard during this period.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoqing's eyes turned cold.

When it comes to Burma, what he hated most were the Japanese army, the British army and the natives.

These bastards are helping the Japanese army fight them.

Why did his own Sichuan Army suffer heavy losses?

It’s because these natives tipped off the Japanese army.

"Go on." Yu Xiaoqing said coldly.

"I suspect the headquarters wants to send these natives to the battlefield to fill in the lines and consume the Japanese soldiers. Anyway, there are too many of these natives. It is very cost-effective to use them to consume the number of Japanese troops. It can also reduce our logistical pressure." After Li Bing finished speaking, he looked around, fearing that he would be heard.

Hearing this, Yu Xiaoqing wondered how credible Li Bing's words were.

Ever since being tricked by Tang Ji, Yu Xiaoqing has learned to think about problems.

It is no longer like before, where we make one-sided judgments on issues, but rather we consider various issues comprehensively.

For example, right now, the headquarters sent him as the pioneer for no reason, there must be some deeper meaning behind it.

A ragtag division led by a group of ragtag natives went to serve as pioneers.

This combination is simply impossible.

But it still showed up.

There must be a deeper meaning behind this.

What could be the deeper meaning?

That is to fill the line and consume.

Yu Xiaoqing, who had figured everything out, spoke immediately.

"Get ready quickly and set off immediately."

Li Bing looked at Yu Xiaoqing with a puzzled look.

Ah, I've made it so clear, why don't you try to find some connections? Take some shortcuts? Don't take this hot job.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. Don't you want to avenge your comrades who died in Tangji?" Yu Xiaoqing said coldly.

"Yes." Li Bing's face changed and he responded immediately.

.........

"It has to be the British. They really dare to take action immediately." Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but chuckle when he received Stilwell's telegram.

He now had a higher opinion of Admiral Wavell. This guy was really not a coward.

Hearing this, Meng Fanle also smiled and said.

"I didn't expect that the Englishman who had the chips pointed at him by you would be so bold."

"But is this really okay?"

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. After all, what the British did has nothing to do with us. But this time the Japanese should learn a lesson." Cun Yunsheng sneered and then continued.

"When will the Fourth War Zone be able to capture Yangcheng?"

"Now we must divert the Japanese army's attention to other places and not let them know our true purpose."

"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be in these two days." Meng Fanle thought for a while and said.

"The 60th Yunnan Army is on the way. After they arrive, we will arrange for them to go to the Badi area and reorganize them there." Cun Yunsheng looked at the area and pointed to the southernmost part of Annan.

If he remembered correctly, there should be a large oil field here.

　I have something to do. I have to take an elderly man in his eighties to the hospital for cataract surgery. He is almost blind. I will come back in the afternoon to see him!
