Anti-Japanese War: From Becoming Chu Yunfei to Rising

Siamese border.

In a river valley that was soaked and muddy by rain, the atmosphere in the temporary training camp set up by the expeditionary force to rebuild the remnants of the independence army was somewhat subtle and tense.

The air was filled with the scent of damp grass and disinfectant.

And an indescribable dejection that is unique to losers.

The aura is just not right!

Inside the camp.

Those soldiers who once followed Aung Sui San and shouted "Fight for independence".

At this time, most of them sat dejectedly under the makeshift shacks.

They had just changed into clean military uniforms provided by the Expeditionary Force and were holding steaming rice and canned beef. The food they ate was much better than what they had received under the Japanese.

However, these generous treatments failed to completely dispel the confusion and humiliation in their hearts.

They, the defeated, are also homeless.

Today's destiny is no longer in our control.

While they were still fighting with the expeditionary force, the next thing they knew was that their former enemies saved them.

The Japanese locust army they relied on was actually just taking advantage of them.
Such a gap cannot be reversed in a short period of time.

Many people find it difficult to accept this fact.

Aung San was accompanying Zhou Weiguo to inspect the situation in the camp.

He tried hard to maintain his dignity as a leader in front of his troops, but his slightly stiff smile and eyes that occasionally flashed with complex emotions still exposed his inner anxiety.

Zhou Weiguo's expression was as calm as water. As he walked, he said to Aung San in a gentle but unquestionable tone: "General Aung San, please tell your soldiers.

From today on, they will enjoy the same food, pay and treatment as our expeditionary soldiers.

We are not conquerors, but allies. We have only one common enemy, the Japanese chauvinism, the damn invaders. "

He pointed to several trucks that were loading medicines not far away and said: "The medicines and doctors are already in place, and all the wounded can get the best treatment.

In addition, I have ordered that all religious beliefs and lifestyles be respected and no one should interfere."

Zhou Weiguo himself knew that such a conciliatory strategy did calm the emotions of ordinary soldiers to a certain extent.

But it doesn't work for officers who think differently.

In an area where officers gathered.

A tall Burmese colonel with a sinister look was whispering with several other officers.

This man's name was Myo Lwin. He had previously studied at the Japanese Army Academy with Aung San and was also a capable subordinate of Aung San.

He looked at Zhou Weiguo and Aung San not far away, with an imperceptible sneer on his lips.

"The commander-in-chief is now fighting fiercely with the Chinese." Miao Lun's voice was not loud, but full of sarcasm: "Have you forgotten how many of our brothers died at the hands of the Chinese? Now you have transformed yourself into an expeditionary force?"

A major nearby echoed, "Yes, Colonel."

"Although the Japanese have the intention to exploit us, at least they promised us real independence."

"What about the Chinese? They broke us up and made us accept their transformation, which they called the 'Special Army'. In fact, it was just annexation!"

"The commander-in-chief is inviting a wolf into the house. How can we have any autonomy in the future?"

Another lieutenant was worried: "I heard that the commander-in-chief and some officers will be sent to China for 'study' in a while. How is this different from being a hostage?"

"By then, will this force really be our Myanmar army?"

Although these whispers were deliberately kept in low voices, some of them still drifted into Aung San's ears.

His expression changed slightly, he stopped, and glanced coldly at Miao Lun and others.

"Colonel Myo Lwin." Aung San's voice was a little chilly. "You seem to be dissatisfied with the current arrangement?"

Miao Lun was not afraid when he saw this. Instead, he took a step forward and said respectfully, "The commander-in-chief has misunderstood. I just feel regret for my brothers who died and I am worried about the future of the independence army. After all, we are fighting for Burma's independence. Now we have to obey the Chinese, in fact."

"That's enough!" Aung San interrupted him harshly, "Don't you understand the current situation?"

"It was the Japanese who betrayed us first and put us to death! It was the expeditionary force that gave us a glimmer of hope!"

"Myo Lun, put away your little thoughts! If anyone dares to do something secretly at this time, don't blame me, Aung San, for not remembering our friendship!"

There was a flash of disdain in Miao Lun's eyes, but on the surface he still bowed his head respectfully: "Yes, Commander-in-Chief."

Just then, there was a commotion at the entrance of the camp.

Several military jeeps drove in, and a group of people wearing national army uniforms but with a temperament that was clearly different from that of ordinary soldiers jumped out of the vehicles.

They all had stern expressions and sharp eyes, and there was a murderous aura in their movements, with the holsters on their waists bulging.

An officer at the head walked straight up to Zhou Weiguo, saluted, and handed him a document: "Reporting to Commander Zhou, in compliance with the order of the First Army Internal Anti-espionage and Anti-traitor Special Committee, the Military Control Station Action Team will go to your department to assist in security protection and personnel screening during the training period!"

This group of people are actually "Scorpion" and his Military Intelligence Bureau agents!

Zhou Weiguo took the document and nodded: "Thank you for your hard work."

"General Aung San, let me introduce you to these. These are the anti-espionage team sent by Commander-in-Chief Du. They will assist us in eliminating any Japanese spies that may exist in the team and ensure our internal safety and security."

Aung San looked at the cold eyes of the Military Intelligence Bureau agents and his heart shuddered.

He knew that this was the beginning of the Chinese's iron-fisted approach.

When Colonel Miao Lun and his cronies saw Scorpion and his group, their expressions became noticeably unnatural.

The arrival of these people actually explains the problem.

It’s okay for them to give feedback.

Continue to say things that may even incite others.

Tomorrow they will die in some corner and even their bodies won't be found.

Thai-Burma Front Command.

Terauchi Hisaichi has just received the latest intelligence from a spy lurking within the expeditionary force.

Aung San has completely sided with the Chinese, and the remnants of his forces are being reorganized.

"Commander, we have received news from the 'Chrysanthemum Agency' that we have planted inside the Burmese Independence Army that there is indeed an officer named Myo Lwin inside the Independence Army who is dissatisfied with Aung San's defection and is willing to serve as an insider and cooperate with the actions of the Imperial Army."

"Oh?" Terauchi Hisaichi stopped, a terrifying light flashing in his eyes: "Very good! Immediately order the 'Chrysanthemum Agency' to contact the colonel named Myoto!
Tell him that as long as he can get rid of Aung San and create a mutiny for his brother country, the empire will not only guarantee his safety, but will also support him to become the new leader after the war! "

He turned to the colonel in military uniform and said, "Takeshita-kun, how is your 'special operations team' preparing?" Takeshita Shun bowed his head sharply and said, "Report to the commander! The operations team can go out. Please rest assured. We have undergone comprehensive training and have relevant practical experience. I believe we will shine in the next battle."

"Yoshi!" Terauchi Shouichi nodded with a smile: "Myo Lwin will provide you with detailed information about Aung San's camp and the best infiltration route.

Your mission is to lead your men to kill Aung San and others, and even destroy more enemy forces. What I want is not just Aung San's head, I also hope that you can make it appear on my desk as quickly as possible!"

"Hai!"
-

Rangoon, headquarters of the First Expeditionary Army.

Du Yuming was looking at the report from "Scorpion", the head of the Military Intelligence Station.

"Reporting to Commander Du." Scorpion looked solemn, "Based on our intelligence and further interrogation of Gecko.

We discovered that the Japanese military was involved in a covert intelligence network that was much more complex than we had imagined.

They have multiple independent communication codes and contact methods.

The 'Gecko' line is likely just the tip of the iceberg.

Moreover, there is a high possibility that there are more than one hidden spy codenamed "Gecko", or even many."

Du Yuming nodded: "Before, Commander Chu has reminded me that I must always be on guard against their intelligence infiltration. The work of the Anti-Traitor Committee must not be compromised. The only advantage the Japanese army has at this stage is their intelligence warfare methods. Apart from that, the Japanese are nothing to be afraid of."

"Yes, sir." Scorpion looked at the heroic Du Yuming and added, "In addition, we have set up a monitoring station on the border. Recently, we captured a very weak encrypted radio wave that is not our military's standard near the former Burmese Independence Army training camp."

"We suspect that there is a traitor inside the Independence Army who is secretly in contact with the Japanese army!"

Du Yuming's eyes flashed coldly: "Can you lock the location?"

"Not yet. The other party's method is very clever. The transmission time is very short and the frequency is changeable. It is very likely that someone deliberately hid a small radio device."

"But." Seeing Du Yuming frowning, Scorpion immediately changed the subject and smiled: "We obtained a set of emergency contact codes used by the Japanese Special High Section from 'Gecko'.

If the other party sends a message, we are 70% sure that we can decipher its content!"

Du Yuming immediately showed a knowing smile. He walked to the map and lightly tapped the location of the Independence Army training camp. "Over in Aung San, Zhou Weiguo has already noticed that the colonel named Miao Lun is showing some resistance. Now it seems that the fish is about to take the bait."

He pondered for a moment, and a bold and thorough plan quickly formed in his mind.

"I heard that the headquarters intends to recruit local students in Yangon to cope with future intelligence work. You are a member of the fifth batch of Whampoa Military Academy. This is your chance."

Scorpion was silent for a moment and then nodded: "Commander Liang seems to be the candidate favored by the command."

The Chief Liang that Scorpion was referring to was Liang Ganqiao, who had dealt with Chu Yunfei before.

Although the two sides had had disagreements before.

But at this stage, from the perspective of the command, no one is more suitable for this place than him.

The most crucial point here is that Liang Ganqiao had actually taught students before.

Chu Yunfei has too much power, which is not a good thing for Shancheng.

Power that cannot be checked and balanced.

Chang Ruiyuan and others won’t be able to sleep!

"Pass on my orders." Du Yuming's tone was calm but full of unquestionable authority. "First, order Zhou Weiguo to keep a close watch on Miao Lun and others, but don't alert them. Create opportunities for him to come into contact with the 'Japanese.'"

"Second, order your technical monitoring stations to monitor 24 hours a day. Once any message is intercepted, decipher it immediately."

Du Yuming's mouth curled up in a cold arc, "The third and most important point. If the traitor is confirmed, do not arrest him immediately. I want to use him to send a 'big gift' to the Japanese."

His mind is very flexible.

Just a few minutes of conversation, a detailed anti-ambush plan of "luring the snake out of its hole and defeating the enemy at their own game" was developed.

It has already taken shape in his mind.

Du Yuming also needs this credit, and so do Scorpion and others.
-

Second War Zone, Front Command Headquarters.

Since Chu Yunfei returned to North China, the military machine in the entire war zone has been operating at an unprecedented high efficiency.

But in recent days, the attack has not been able to achieve any substantial breakthrough.

The atmosphere in the headquarters was always somewhat subtle.

Everyone knows that they will win the battle in the end.

But even after the battle had turned out like this, Chu Yunfei still did not make any adjustments, which surprised everyone.

Da da da~!

The sound of clanging footsteps was heard.

Fang Ligong walked quickly into the operations room with a copy of the latest battle damage report in his hand.

He said to Chu Yunfei, who was thinking in front of the sand table, with a heavy look on his face: "Mr. Yun, the situation over at the 14th Army is not optimistic."

Chu Yunfei raised his head and glanced at Fang Ligong: "Brother Ligong, don't worry, take your time."

Fang Ligong understood what he meant and immediately took back the telegram in his hand, and then said: "General Liu Maoen has tried his best, but the Japanese army in front of him relies on solid permanent fortifications and has extremely dense firepower.

Our army's three consecutive days of exploratory attacks failed to achieve any substantial breakthroughs except for increasing casualties.

If we continue to fight like this, I'm afraid we will end up in a meaningless war of attrition."

Chu Yunfei reached out to take the report, his eyes lingered on the cold casualty figures for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed.

Just as he expected, General Okamura had been operating in North China for many years, and his defense system was like an iron barrel. It was not easy to easily knock a hole in it.

After realizing that the troops commanded by Chu Yunfei frequently used sniper rifles and other weapons to consume them.

Most of the time, these Japanese soldiers even hid in trenches and bunkers and dared not show their heads at all.

Fang Ligong hesitated for a moment, then reminded again: "Director Zhang called and said that the chairman is about to visit India, so he wants the Second War Zone and the Fifth War Zone to fight a good battle."

"What the nobles in Shancheng are considering is not what we, the generals on the front line, should consider."

Chu Yunfei put down the report and said calmly, "A reckless attack is exactly what Okamura Neiji wants. He would like us to shed the blood of our elite troops in front of his strong position."

"However, since the Chairman has this need, perhaps we can think of a solution from Pingxingguan. Where is the 71st Army deployed now?"

"It has arrived at Fanshi and is currently being transported at an accelerated pace. It is estimated that it will reach Pingxingguan within three days."

Chu Yunfei nodded slowly, and then continued: "Calculating the time, it's almost time. If the Fifth Division sends emergency support from the country, it will arrive at the front line within a week."

"Order the intelligence department to speed up the collection of relevant intelligence, seize the opportunity when the Japanese army adjusts its deployment, and launch an attack on it" (End of this chapter)
