General Aung San of the Myanmar Self-Defense Force sent his cronies to secretly sneak out of Yangon City to look for the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
Ma Gui, Chinese Expeditionary Force Headquarters, Yue Hanping was working at the headquarters, and the adjutant came to report that a person claiming to be General Aung San's messenger came to see him.
Yue Hanping thought for a moment, understood the truth in his heart, and immediately ordered people to come in. After a while, the adjutant came in with a Burmese man.
Yue Hanping didn¡¯t even raise his head. The Burmese Nono didn¡¯t dare to say anything for a long time. It took about six or seven minutes before Yue Hanping put down the pen in his hand and looked up at him.
"Who are you? What do you want from me?" Yue Hanping asked calmly.
"Are you General Yue Hanping, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force?" the visitor asked cautiously, but he spoke fluent Chinese.
¡°Oh, I¡¯m just, what¡¯s the matter with you?¡± Yue Hanping asked, slightly surprised.
The man hurriedly took out a wax pill from his body, crushed it with his fingers, carefully took out a letter, and handed it to Yue Hanping respectfully. "General, I am the personal guard of General Aung San of the Myanmar Self-Defense Forces. General Aung San has a secret letter that I must hand over to you."
Yue Hanping hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the letter. The content of the letter was not long, but the main idea was that the Burmese people now understood the true colors of the Japanese army and were willing to cooperate with the Allied forces to regain Burma.
Yue Hanping lowered his head to look at the letter, then raised his head after a long time and smiled slightly, "Oh, come, serve tea to the guests."
The orderly quickly poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of the Burmese man. The man stood up in fear. Yue Han pressed his hands and said, "Please sit down, please sit down."
"Do you know the content of General Aung San's letter?" Yue Hanping asked nonchalantly.
¡°General, I don¡¯t know.¡± The man quickly continued, ¡°However, General Aung San was very distressed during this period and often thought hard in his office alone.¡±
"Oh, why is that?" Yue Hanping asked with interest.
"General Yue, these days, General Aung San has been regretting that he should not have trusted the Japanese and tried to rely on the Japanese to realize the independence of the Burmese nation. Now, General Aung San wants to lead the Burmese people to overthrow Japanese colonial rule." That Myanmar The man said clearly.
Yue Hanping smiled coldly, "How do you know General Aung San's thoughts? Who are you? General Aung San will not tell you these thoughts easily, right?"
The Burmese man stood up and said slowly, "I am a member of the Myanmar Communist Party led by General Aung San, and I am also General Aung San's personal secretary. General, please believe my words and General Aung San's thoughts."
Yue Hanping gently put the letter on the table and smiled faintly, "We Chinese have a saying that 'listen to his words and watch his actions.' I dare not comment on General Aung San's thoughts. However, if General Aung San If you really have this idea, the Myanmar Self-Defense Forces must take some action, right?¡±
The man's face flushed with anxiety, "General, General Aung San is now completely monitored by Japanese advisers and has almost no freedom of action. I took great risks to sneak out of Yangon and bring this letter out. As long as you attack In Yangon, General Aung San will definitely arrange internal responses. General Aung San himself is now trying to find a way to escape from Japanese control."
Yue Hanping was noncommittal and pondered for a while, "In this case, you go back and tell General Aung San that we hope he can become an ally and a friend of the Chinese. I believe in his pursuit of national independence in Myanmar. I can tell you clearly that we are very The attack on Rangoon is coming soon. At that time, I hope General Aung San will take appropriate action.
"If General Aung San does not take any substantive actions, when we capture Yangon, General Aung San and the Myanmar Army led by him will be war criminals and will be tried by the allies. "
The Burmese hurriedly said: "General Yue, how about you write a reply?"
Yue Hanping said softly: "I can't write you a letter to take back. Firstly, it is to protect General Aung San, and secondly, I believe in General Aung San's decision. We don't need to contact you anymore. When we arrive at Yangon City, Aung San General Shan can send someone to contact us and we can discuss a joint action plan."
The Burmese people hurried back to recover their lives. Liu Wenye walked in and asked gently: "Sir, do you really believe in General Aung San?"
Yue Hanping nodded slightly, "Does he still have a choice? As long as he has a little bit of brains, he will understand that the Japanese will not be in Myanmar for long. This is his chance."
¡°Now, it¡¯s time for us to build some momentum!¡± Yue Hanping tapped his fingers on the table.
"What do you mean?" Liu Wenye looked at him doubtfully and understood his thoughts instantly.
Liu Wenye laughed, "OkayCommander, you want to carry out renovations in a big way and make a move to attack Yangon to attract the attention of the Japanese army. "
"The one who knows me is Brother Liu!" Yue Hanping laughed.
The headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force issued an order to repair in Magway. The entire city of Magway was filled with peace, and the Chinese Expeditionary Force rested and prepared here with great fanfare. The hidden intelligence personnel of the Japanese army quickly reported the information to the 15th Army Headquarters.
Lieutenant General Songshan received the information and looked at the map with confusion, "That's not right. The Chinese should take advantage of the situation and move eastward. They shouldn't be making repairs at this time."
He repeatedly checked the intelligence, and the report from the intelligence personnel at the front was extremely positive, and even listed in detail the numbers of the troops of the Chinese Expeditionary Force resting in Magway. There is also the situation of the weapons and equipment of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, especially the report that the armored force of the Chinese Expeditionary Force lost more than 200 tanks.
Lieutenant General Matsuyama breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "It seems that the capture of Magui has severely damaged the Chinese people's vitality. I have enough time to set up defenses."
Just when Lieutenant General Songshan was feeling proud, Huang Wei's Armored Corps left all the more than 40 injured tanks in Magui, and the entire army quietly set off to Pingmanna to assemble.
Of course, the Japanese intelligence officers saw many injured tanks, but they actually had their tracks deliberately removed or were disguised as battle-damaged tanks. Anyway, Japanese spies couldn't get close to see them, so they could only estimate them based on the number parked in the repair shop.
At the same time, the Chinese Expeditionary Force quietly gathered transport vehicles and transported all the New First Army out of Magui at night, and assembled in Pingmanna for preparation.
The squadron mobilized its troops very carefully. These armored vehicles and personnel carriers were parked in cities under our control during the day and were camouflaged. The troops marched only at night, and strict light control was implemented to strictly disclose the secrets of mobilization.
Under the condition of extreme secrecy, the Chinese armored force and motorized infantry gathered in the Pingmanna area without anyone noticing, and successfully completed the gathering of troops.
Chongqing, Chiang Kai-shek¡¯s official residence. Chiang Kai-shek sat in front of his desk, leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes slightly closed, and his left foot was hooked on his right foot and swaying slightly. In front of the table is a telegram from Yue Hanping.
Chiang Kai-shek's thoughts crossed the long river of history, thinking of the humiliating treaties that resulted in the loss of sovereignty. They were like ropes, choking Chiang Kai-shek out of breath.
He received a telegram from US President Roosevelt inviting him to attend the Cairo Conference. He did not expect that the United States and Britain would invite him to attend the meeting. This is an honor that China has dreamed of for many years. But what exactly is this meeting going to discuss? To be honest, he didn't know or didn't expect that this was a meeting between big powers to share the spoils.
In the telegram, Yue Hanping analyzed the purpose of the meeting and possible situations. These were all unexpected by him, and he felt an inexplicable irritation and fear in his heart. Whether he admired Yue Hanping or was afraid of Yue Hanping, he couldn't tell.
This is a secret message, you can only read it yourself. Chiang Kai-shek calmly ordered the guards to find a box of matches, light a matchstick, and put the telegram on the flame to slowly turn into ashes. The flashing firelight illuminated Chairman Chiang's uncertain face, which was strange and strange.
Ma Gui and Yue Hanping looked at the map quietly, and he calmly ordered: "Tell Huang Wei that the Mawlamyine frontline will be unified under the command of Sun Liren. On November 6, the attack will begin."
On November 6, the Chinese Expeditionary Force Armored Corps and the New First Army quickly set off from Pingmanna and approached Bago along the Sidang River. The Chinese ** team moved quickly and advanced more than 100 kilometers in one day.
Lieutenant General Matsuyama Yuzo was shocked when he learned at the Bago headquarters that the Chinese Communist Party was suddenly attacking Bago. Lieutenant General Qiang is calm, and the second division is on guard. The second division with strong combat effectiveness should be able to withstand for a while.
Major General Gao Wei, the chief of staff, hurriedly reminded the commander, "Your Excellency, General, will you mobilize the troops from Moulmein to urgently reinforce Bago?"
The lieutenant general shook his head slightly, "No, I don't know the purpose of the Chinese army yet, so don't worry."
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Chinese army's station has slogans "Fight to Bago and liberate all of Myanmar" written everywhere on the station. It seems to be attacking Bago.
Major General Ogao turned around and gestured on the map, then turned back and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Chinese people's goal should be Pegu. First of all, the Chinese people deliberately let off the news, saying they wanted to rest, but then suddenly sent this force to attack. And Pegu is located in Mao Between Mawlamyine and Yangon, occupying Bago can cut off the connection between Mawlamyine and Yangon. We will be divided and annihilated."
Lieutenant General Songshan looked at the map calmly without saying a word. Suddenly, his expression changed, "No, the Chinese are going to attack Moulmein."
Major General Wei Gao was stunned, "General, how could that be?"
Lieutenant General Songshan glanced at Major General Wei Gao with contempt, "The Chinese can conceal their purpose once, and they can conceal it twice. How can they do it?"??People who deliberately mark their attack destinations during wars are not deliberately trying to lure us into being deceived? "
"Capturing Bago can certainly cut off our connections, but capturing Mawlamyine can lock us in Myanmar. All our supplies will be cut off, and we will be in chaos without a fight." Lieutenant General Matsuyama continued.
Major General Wei Gao took a breath and looked at the commander blankly.
The ensuing battle puzzled Lieutenant General Songshan. The Chinese armored forces stormed the Japanese positions outside Bago, and the infantry also joined the attack ferociously. It doesn't look like they want to attack Moulmein.
Lieutenant General Songshan touched his chin, unable to understand the intentions of the squadron. The worst thing is that the Chinese ** team cut off the Japanese army's telephone communication lines. The communication between Bago and the outside world was all by telegraph, and the phone calls could not be made at all.
