Chapter 873: Still killing, killing all the labor force
The Burma campaign was a matter of national prestige, and the high command wanted to demonstrate their power and not lose face for the nation. Therefore, the troops deployed this time were all well-equipped elite troops.
The 5th Army, the Independent Brigade and several other armies are all the best in the army.
Everyone started to discuss, but no one spoke first. Little Zhuge's eyes fell on Zhou Weiguo's face; "Weiguo, what do you think?"
I……
Zhou Weiguo looked at the others and saw them looking at himself, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Among those sitting here, except Bai and Long who were both generals, the rest were lieutenant generals and major generals. However, no matter in terms of seniority or ability to lead troops in battle, these people were above him.
How could he interfere in other people's business?
"Sir, General Du's troops have been resting in western Guangxi. Western Guangxi is similar to Myanmar. Perhaps General Du knows something about this."
Don't make me hate you. I'm not familiar with the people here yet. What if they try to make things difficult for me?
General Du turned his head to look at Commander Bai who was sitting at the head of the table. "Commander, I think..."
The meeting lasted more than an hour and a lot of things were passed, but some were not yet fully finalized.
Zhou Weiguo was planning to return to his room, but was stopped by Commander Bai.
"You seemed very quiet during today's meeting. This is not your usual style. Tell me, what's going on?"
They are all old subordinates. Zhou Weiguo’s actions today are very wrong.
Zhou Weiguo rubbed his head and said, "Sir, I'm new here, so I dare not belittle myself or give any random opinions about the deployment of my colleagues."
"When did you become so cunning, kid?" Little Zhuge asked after motioning him to sit down. "Now that we're alone, tell us what you're considering and what we need most. Tomorrow, the negotiators and military from the South Asia Governor's Office will be here to discuss a joint defense plan and material assistance. As usual, you guys will go and talk to them."
Zhou Weiguo held out his hand. "We don't need much ammunition, but we can get some tanks, armored vehicles, and trucks to facilitate our transportation. Furthermore, the Yunnan Army is also participating in this battle. They are poorly equipped, so we need to resupply them with supplies to avoid any dissatisfaction on their part. However, this is not important. The important thing is that Myanmar is sheltering from the rain, and deep in the jungle, jungle combat is unavoidable. The terrain there is humid, so we need more medicine and mosquito repellent, as well as raincoats and boots suitable for dealing with rain."
There was no telling how many leeches and other scary things might be hiding under the dead branches and leaves. Since he was going in to fight, he had to avoid this problem.
"Sir, how about we discuss this? Why not arrange for the inspection team to conduct an actual inspection immediately? That way, we can know what our troops are lacking. However, we must prepare medicine, raincoats, and shoes. Otherwise, if someone gets sick, it is very likely that Nanny Wang's combat effectiveness will be weakened."
"You're right. This matter should indeed be investigated. Also, ask Xiao Ya what preparations are needed for the Burma campaign. After all, she's in the navy. Although she doesn't do many landings, the preparations should be similar."
"clear."
In Yangon, the orange sunlight shone on the ground. After getting up, the young aunt took the towel from Du Xiaoyue, washed her face, tied her hair up on her head, put on a big navy felt hat, and went out.
Gao Qiaoyi and Du Xiaoyue followed her and walked forward silently.
Yangon has been occupied for several days, but the chaos on the streets seems to have not stopped yet. The air on the streets is still filled with the smell of blood and decay.
"Why are you still killing?" Xiao Ya frowned as she saw several Japanese soldiers not far away shooting two people without any scruples. One of the women was even dragged into a corner nearby and asked dissatisfiedly.
"Ma'am, we Marines have been ordered to move forward. This place has been handed over to the Army Red Deer. They are not ours."
"You won't amount to anything." Xiao Ya raised her head and glanced at Tian Hou, then turned around; "Let's go, let's go back."
"Madam, don't you want to visit the temple?"
No, you won't go. What you left behind is just a pile of ruins. There's nothing to see. After all, the statues and other things have been snatched away by Liu San and his men and loaded onto the transport ship. Their destination is the mountain city.
Chang Guqing, who was having breakfast, saw Xiao Ya come in. He was confused for a moment and then pointed at the breakfast on the table; "Have you eaten? How about we eat together?"
"No." Frankly speaking, Hase Qing immediately ordered his adjutant to bring bowls and chopsticks to Xiao Ya.
Sitting on the chair, Xiao Ya took a few bites of food and looked up at Hase Kiyoshi across from her. "Can you please contact the army to stop the killing? This is the port, there are so many eyes watching us. Are you really shameless?"
"That was done by the army idiot, what does it have to do with me?"
"No, whether it's the Army or you guys, aren't you Tokyo's national defense military force? Then the world will only know that it was you Tokyo who did it, but they won't think it was the Army or your Navy who did it. Also, don't you think it's a pity to just kill these laborers like that?"
amount……
Hasegawa Kiyoshi wiped the corner of his mouth; "Isn't that the last sentence what you're thinking about?"
Xiao Ya hummed in agreement. "When we cleared the road, it gave you time to build the railway. Now that the railway has been abandoned, according to my analysis, construction will soon resume. It would be a shame to kill these free laborers. Wouldn't it be better to send them to build the railway?"
Looking at Xiao Ya's calculating yet clear eyes, Hase Kiyoshi picked up his teacup and took a sip. "Got it. I'll go find Terauchi Juichi later."
Just as she finished speaking, Du Xiaoyue walked in and handed Xiao Ya a telegram; "Madam, this is from the brigade commander."
Awen?
Xiao Ya's clear eyes instantly revealed the attachment of a young man and woman. Chang Guqing looked at the table and saw the change in his eyes, and clicked his tongue twice; "He is obviously very intelligent, but he only thinks about love. What's so good about him, Zhou Weiguo?"
"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder," Xiao Ya read the message without looking up, then handed it to Hase Kiyoshi. "Awen and his team are about to enter Burma, but they don't know much about the situation here, so they called to ask what they need to prepare."
Hase Kiyoshi took the message and read it, then frowned and spread his hands. "You really are asking the wrong person."
"What do you mean?"
Chang Guqing put the telegram down and looked at Xiao Ya questioningly. "If you ask me how the ships are organized and how they fight, maybe I can tell you a little bit. But if you ask me about preparing supplies, how can I, a navy man, know about the army's affairs?"
"Then why don't you ask the Army?" Even if you just ask around, you'll know.
army?
Chang Guqing tutted his words, "I'm afraid those red deer wouldn't know too well."
what?
