Chapter 143: Going to Huanglong
Morey, this small border town, has been completely controlled by the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. The local natives of Myanmar who live here have also been expelled. In the war years, no one would pay attention to the lives and deaths of these natives.
In a small village not far from Morey, two native Burmese people were talking sneakily in a thatched hut.
"Are you sure that the Chinese troops left Morey?" asked a native. Although their faces were dark and their outfits were completely different from those of the locals in Burmese. However, if you distinguish them carefully, you can still tell that they were not natives of Burmese, but Japanese.
During World War II, Japan and China's intelligence work was undoubtedly done very well, even ahead of other countries. Long before the war began, they sent a large number of intelligence personnel to infiltrate China and Southeast Asia. So much so that after the war broke out, they were able to quickly obtain detailed information.
After the Japanese army suffered a severe blow on the battlefield in Myanmar, the Japanese intelligence agencies in Japan strengthened their attention to the fight against the Japanese National Salvation Army. They also secretly infiltrated near Morey in the vicinity of Morey to collect intelligence. If the entire Morey were not under the control of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, they might have sneaked into Morey directly.
"Yes, Nagano-Kun. Our people found the number of their troops, the 1st Infantry Division, the 2nd Infantry Division and the 3rd Infantry Division, and all left Morey. Now, there is only one infantry division and several brigades left in the whole Morey." Another Japanese* himself said.
The Japanese intelligence officer named Nagano nodded with satisfaction.
"Yosi, this is definitely a very important information. I will report it to my superiors immediately. When the Myanmar Front defeats Morey, we will all be meritorious personnel." Nagano said.
"Hi!" Another intelligence officer was also very excited.
Those who can be sent abroad by the intelligence agencies of Japan and China to perform missions are all elites. They are also the group of people who are extremely loyal to Japan and are extremely enthusiastic about the war to expand territory. It is precisely because of this that these people even sacrifice their lives in order to obtain intelligence.
The news that the three main infantry divisions of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army left Morey was delivered to Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemae that night. Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemae was also stunned after learning the news. Although he had known that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was very difficult to deal with. However, it was beyond his expectations that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army adopted such a tactic.
"Damn Chinese, what tricks are they playing?" Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemaki frowned tightly.
"Isomura, please come to Sato, Takehara and Rabashi. I want to hear their opinions."
"Hi, Commander." Major General Takera Isomura nodded and immediately went to give orders.
Soon, Lieutenant General Sato Yukitoshi, commander of the 31st Division of the Japanese Army, Lieutenant General Takehara Saburo, commander of the 49th Division, and Lieutenant General Masato Masato, commander of the 53rd Division, arrived at the temporary command center.
"You guys, we have the latest information. The 1st Infantry Division, 2nd Infantry Division and 3rd Infantry Division of the Chinese have left Morey and rushed towards the troops led by Muda, Akiyama and Watanabe. Now, in Morey, there are only one 4th Infantry Division and several brigades left." Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa said.
"What? The Chinese people dare to divide their troops at this time? Are they really trying to die?" Several division commanders exclaimed.
"The Chinese may want to defeat Muda-kun and the others first, and then deal with our main force." Major General Fury Isomura said from the side.
"Hmph! The Chinese people are overestimating the combat effectiveness of their troops. Although Muta-kun's 18th Division and Iwara-kun's 56th Division have damaged a lot of troops, they still have more than 18,000 people after adding an independent mixed brigade. Such troops are no less than that of an infantry division in the Chinese. The 54th Division and the Independent mixed 105th Brigade led by Akiyama have more than 25,000 people. It is impossible for the Chinese people to rely on an infantry division to defeat our troops." Lieutenant General Sato was full of sarcasm, as if he thought that the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army was seeking death by itself.
"Yes, Commander. I also think that the Chinese people are too overestimating the combat effectiveness of their troops. They have indeed defeated the Imperial Army many times before. However, the Imperial Army is definitely not easy to bully, and they cannot bully it at will." Lieutenant General Takehara Saburo also fits this view.
"The Chinese people defeated us before. Every time they gathered their superior forces, and their superior forces and firepower, to defeat us. But this time, the Chinese people will no longer have that advantage. Not only are we not at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, we also have advantages. It is impossible for the Chinese people to defeat us easily." General Masato Masato also affirmed this.
Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa nodded: "Yoxi, do you think that the three infantry divisions of the Chinese people cannot defeat our three units?"
"Yes, Commander." The three division commanders replied.
"Very good. Since that's the case, then we have no worries. Let Mutianjun and the others drag down the three main infantry divisions of the Chinese. I want to see how the remaining infantry divisions and several brigades of the Chinese people resist the attack of our three main divisions. Since the Chinese people dare to divide their troops, we will attack Huanglong and take down Morey." Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemae ordered.
Lieutenant General Aoki Shigemasa undoubtedly made a good plan. He thought that he would lead the main force to take Morey, so that he could not only eliminate an infantry division of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, but also eliminate several brigades. More importantly, the aviation teams and airports of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, as well as the arms stored in Morey, would fall into their hands. Without the arms and no supplies, the remaining troops of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army would be no match for them. It would be easier for them to completely win this battle.
"Hi, Commander!"
Several division commanders said one after another. They also believed that if they directly attack Morey with the strength of the three main divisions, there was no reason not to be able to take over the ones there. Once they took Morey, then the battle could be won. And the seemingly powerful anti-Japanese and national salvation army would be completely eliminated. They would reoccupate the entire Myanmar.
