¡ª¡ª    go¡ª¡ª>At about nine o'clock in the morning on November 14th, the Andaman Sea was calm and the sun was shining brightly. The water was like endless dark blue satin, spreading out in front of our eyes. The sky was filled with white clouds and the sea breeze  The breeze was blowing, and the gulls and birds were flying together. It was a rare good weather for sailing. The Japanese sailors gathered on the deck in twos and threes, feeling the warm and humid sea breeze of the Indian Ocean comfortably, as leisurely as on vacation.

    Hasegawa Kiyoshi walked out of the cabin, stretched out his hands to block the bright sunshine, looked far into the distance, and took a deep breath of the fresh sea breeze with a salty taste. He felt refreshed and in a rare happy mood. This was also the best sleep he had had in several days.  It was a sweet night, and if the personal adjutant hadn't woken him up as instructed, the Commander would have slept until nightfall.

    The communications staff walked quietly behind him, for fear of disturbing the commander's intoxication, and whispered: "Commander, Commander-in-Chief Ito called to ask if anything unexpected happened at the current position of our fleet? How long will it take?  , you can arrive at Yangon Port, and Commander-in-Chief Ito will personally go to the port to greet the Commander.¡±

    Hasegawa Kiyoshi smiled disdainfully, "This old guy can't wait. He seems to be expecting something unexpected to happen to me. Is there any force that can threaten my Third Fleet in the vast waters of Asia and even the Pacific? Do you think it's like you guys?"  Like the army, they were defeated steadily by that Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, and they lost the face of the Japanese Imperial Army. "

    "Personally come to the port to greet me. What a joke, is it to welcome the carrier-based aircraft and naval guns of my Third Fleet, right? You're not showing it to the base camp in this state!" Ren Na, if there is a prejudice, the other party sings  , it sounds like everyone is cursing.  This is exactly how Hasegawa Kiyoshi felt about Ito Genzaburo. Anyway, nothing the old guy said sounded good.

    Hasegawa Kiyoshi said without looking back: "Reply your call, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief Ito, our Third Fleet and troop transport fleet have entered the vicinity of the Nicobar Islands in the Andaman Sea. Thanks to your great blessing, everything is normal and will be here soon."  Three days later, we arrived at the port of Yangon. If the commander-in-chief is busy with military affairs, or facing the attack of the ** division, he is in a hurry and has nothing to do. There is no need to come to the port to greet him. As a subordinate, Hasegawa Kiyoshi cannot bear it.  We are even more afraid of being blamed for delaying the opportunity to carry out such a grand ceremony.¡±

    After the communications staff recorded the contents of the message, he did not leave immediately. He hesitated and reminded in a low voice: "Commander, is it inappropriate to call back like this? Commander-in-Chief Ito will have other ideas!" The communications staff meant well.  He was afraid that his unruly and arrogant commander would cause misfortune to come out of his mouth, and that the people around him would also suffer misfortune.

    Hasegawa Kiyoshi frowned and said "hmm" in displeasure. The pressure of a superior person made the communications staff tremble all over.  He quickly lowered his head and said, "Baga, there's nothing wrong with it. As written, go quickly!" "Hai!" the communications staff officer replied loudly, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and ran away as if running away, still feeling in his heart  Secretly glad, "I just got called a bastard. I don't have a big mouth, so lucky!"

    Hasegawa Kiyoshi was in a very good mood.  His temper was particularly mild, especially the call back to that old guy Ito. He was very proud of it. He could even imagine Ito's hands trembling, his face turning blue, and his lips trembling when he saw the call back. He was in a good mood, naturally.  He would not tamper with a small staff officer, as that would be very rude, and besides, he was doing it for his own good.

    Northwest of Yangon, the small town of Yangdong, the frontline headquarters of the Yangon Campaign of the Japanese Army, was beaten severely by Liu Xinlan, and Tang Qiuli, who held the girl's little hand and slept soundly, was somewhat ashamed.  Tang Qiusheng, the deputy division commander and commander-in-chief of the battle, who marked various symbols on the map with Chief of Staff Chang Feng, followed Liu Xinlan into the headquarters with an eye-catching look. As soon as he saw them coming in.

    He left the map and came over, and said hurriedly: "Commander, we were about to go find you. The Intelligence Office sent us a piece of information about the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet." Tang Qiuli's attention was immediately attracted. Now, except Hasegawa Kiyoshi,  He was not very interested in anything.

    Tang Qiusheng looked at Liu Xinlan, whose face was full of pride, and then at Tang Qiuli, who was attentive. He shook his head slightly and chuckled in his stomach, "These two people are interesting!"

    After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli smiled without surprise and said: "Brother Qiu Sheng, as expected, MacArthur really let the water go. The Japanese Navy's Third Fleet and the troop transport passed through the Strait of Malacca without any danger, and there was no incident between the two sides."  Any conflict, according to the information obtained by our intelligence personnel, MacArthur and Stilwell went to Sumatra and Kalimantan respectively. Interestingly, this is a tacit understanding between the Japanese and the Americans. I am afraid that MacArthur is much more afraid.  Some!"

    Chang Feng asked: "Commander, what should we do next?" Tang Qiuli said slyly: "In my name, send a telegram to the US military headquarters to condemn their behavior. The more violent the words, the better. You can put it in the telegram  , scold them severely, especially MacArthur, and must not leave any words behind his mouth.?, keep the Americans from letting out a single fart. In addition, by exposing the Americans' affair, MacArthur will be charged with treachery first, and then he can recover the interest on my treatment in Manila!  "

    Everyone laughed, Tang Qiusheng shook his head, and said half-jokingly: "Commander, this is not very kind of you! General MacArthur is also a four-star general and the commander-in-chief of the US military. He is also a leader in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific.  Celebrities, save some face!¡±

    Tang Qiuli paused and replied: "MacArthur has always been shameless. Giving him face is to increase his psychological burden. He may be anxious. We are helping him." These words were harsh and mean.  Everyone in the command post burst into laughter, and Liu Xinlan was laughing so much that she was almost lying on Tang Qiuli's shoulder.

    Different from the happy atmosphere in the ** division headquarters, there was an atmosphere of tension in the Japanese headquarters in Yangon. It was all caused by the call back from Kiyoshi Hasegawa. After Ito received the call back from Kiyoshi Hasegawa, it was not like Ito  Hasegawa Kiyoshi was as furious as he imagined, his face was as usual, and he could not see any fluctuations in his emotions. He gently put the telegram on the table, and even smiled slightly, as if nothing happened.

    Kawashima admired him very much, "After all, the commander-in-chief is well-educated and has the demeanor of a general. He doesn't care about Kiyoshi Hasegawa." Before the admiration in Kawashima's eyes dissipated, Ito ordered the communications staff: "Immediately send  Hasegawa Kiyoshi's reply, together with my telegram, was forwarded to the base camp and the general staff." Kawashima was so surprised that he passed by.

    This tricky accuser is capable, deep, sinister, ruthless, and poisonous. He is really high. The big guys at the base camp compared the two telegrams and saw clearly the magnanimity of Ito and Kiyoshi Hasegawa in black and white.  A harmonious person, able to make judgments from high to high, and more persuasive than anything else. Kawashima was completely convinced, and calmly gave Hasegawa Kiyo the maggots.

    Poison knives are much more powerful than soft knives. From now on, when dealing with this immediate boss, it is better to be cautious at all times. Don't say anything else when he says something. Don't let the general fall into a trap if you are not careful.  This is the master of fighting in the nest, killing without blood!  I'm convinced, I'm convinced!

    On the morning of November 15th, the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet had arrived in the waters near the Andaman Islands. In just over a day's journey, it would be able to disembark at Yangon Port. This is an archipelago under the control of British India. Several of them  There was a British fleet stationed on the island. The sudden appearance of such a large Japanese fleet on the empty sea really made the British commander on the island so nervous that he almost wet his pants.

    No need to ask, this was coming towards me. Urgent telegrams were sent to the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in India one after another. But what could the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army do? It was said that they were lost on several small islands far away from the mainland.  The entire Indochina Peninsula is not suffering from dumb losses. The Japanese can take it if they want.

    The order issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in India to the British commander on the island was exactly the same as the order issued by MacArthur to the US military. The content was almost the same, and there was one more sentence than the American one: "As long as it is the Japanese naval fleet, attack the island."  The British defenders issued an order to surrender. All the defenders stationed on the island must follow the Japanese orders. In addition, the weapons of the defenders were immediately sealed and awaited inventory and inspection by Japanese soldiers on the island. "

    As expected of brothers in distress, the British went further and more thoroughly than the Americans. Before they could figure out the Japanese intentions, they abandoned their martial arts skills, surrendered their guns, and waited to be taken prisoner. I am afraid that the shadow in the hearts of the British is worse than that of the Americans.  Americans are even more important. The performance of British and American troops in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific is enough to explain why in history, the Japanese army, with less than 100,000 troops, was able to sweep away hundreds of thousands of British and American troops in the two places.

    Kiyoshi Hasegawa looked at the increasingly clear outlines of the Andaman Islands, and suddenly thought, "If the British on the island are given a few cannonballs, how will the British react? Will they swallow their anger and not fire a single shot like the Americans?"

    Just as he said, Hasegawa Kiyoshi ordered the destroyer "Shishima" to immediately bombard one of the islands. The shells roared and fell on the island. The British Union Jack flag that was flying high just now collapsed with a burst of smoke and fire.  Next, there was another burst of artillery shells, and the walls of the British army's barracks collapsed. Hasegawa Kiyoshi was looking forward to the sound of the British army's counterattack.

    He didn't mind razing this pigsty-sized island to the ground. He treated it as a live fire. After waiting for more than 20 minutes, the smoke on the island had dissipated. The British were more honest than rabbits, let alone  There was not even a ghost of a British soldier in the sound of counterattack. Hasegawa Qingzhen wondered whether the naval guns had killed all the British?

    Little did he know that the British commander hiding in the underground fortification was trembling and pale-faced, discussing the matter of surrendering under the white flag. Hasegawa muttered "It's boring" and then ordered: "  The fleet is moving forward at full speed! ¡±¡ª¡ªover¡ª¡ª>
