Gao Jiu knew that with the troops of the Anti-Japanese Army and the 38th Division who were gathered in Yangon City, his troops were still a little weak and he could not completely wipe out the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army. He could only wait patiently for the arrival of the Yunnan Army.

At the 38th Division's garrison, Gao Jiu and others continued to accept supplies from the transport plane sent by Guo Hengming. The technical force of the Golden Triangle Arsenal was very advanced. They modified many airdrop devices, which not only could airdrop various daily necessities and light weapons, but also heavy equipment such as cannons could also be airdropped. Some heavy equipment was too big, so they dismantled in advance and reassembled by technicians from the arsenal that were airdropped. The troops of the 38th Division quickly replenished the entire original set of equipment.

Not only that, in order to strengthen the firepower of the 38th Division, Gao Jiu also required the airdrop of 40 88mm anti-aircraft guns, and also equipped the 38th Division's troops with the rocket launchers that were originally reluctant to give to other troops.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu led the members of the Taohuashan Special Forces to set up strict vigilance around the temporary garrison of the 38th Division to prevent the exposing of the whereabouts of the 38th Division.

While Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the King of Yunnan, asking him to urge the 153rd Army to speed up the marching speed, and sent a small team to investigate the intermittent route.

Gao Jiu, Liao Tong, Liu Zhanying and others could only wait patiently for the arrival of the 153rd Army of the Yunnan Army. In order to avoid the 38th Division exposing their targets, after replenishing their equipment, they retreated 10km and entered the forest area.

Yangon City, coalition command.

Wang Guimin, Wang Zhankui and others received a telegram from Gao Jiu, saying that they had arrived near the planned interspersion site. After the 153rd Army of the Yunnan Army arrived, they interspered at the junction of the 22nd Division and the 23rd Division, and officially launched a battle to encircle and annihilate the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army.

He asked the Anti-Japanese Army in Yangon City to hold its position, replenish weapons, ammunition and supplies, and be ready to launch a counterattack against the Japanese army at any time.

The coalition command conveyed this good news to various anti-Japanese troops. The anti-Japanese soldiers were very motivated and ready to join the battle to encircle and annihilate the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army.

Gao Jiu and others waited for another day. The 153rd Army of the Yunnan Army and the Kokang Autonomous Army marched day and night. They had reached Ma Hongkou, 130km away from Yangon City. They said that they would be able to arrive at Yangon City one day and a half and face the Japanese 22nd Division from the northwest.

So far, the battle plan formulated by Gao Jiu and others has been progressing very smoothly. But for some reason, Gao Jiu felt a sense of ominousness in his heart, but for a moment he didn't know where the problem was.

Gao Jiu has always attached great importance to reconnaissance of the enemy, so he ordered the Taohuashan guerrillas to expand their search scope and monitor the movements of the Japanese 22nd Division and the 23rd Division.

In the evening of that day, Gao Jiu received a report from the 153rd Army of the Yunnan Army, saying that they were less than 80km away from Yangon City. It is expected that the vanguard troops will be able to arrive at Yangon City before 8 a.m. tomorrow.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the coalition command, asking them to start attacking the Japanese army at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning. He, Liao Tong, Liu Zhanying and others led the 38th Division and began to march towards the predetermined interspersed location, planning to arrive at the designated location before 7 o'clock tomorrow morning.

At 10 o'clock that night, Jia Liu received an emergency telegram, which was sent by special forces members responsible for monitoring the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army. They said that the situation of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army was somewhat abnormal.

After careful observation, they learned that there was only the Japanese division headquarters and a brigade here, and there was a brigade troops unknown where to go.

Upon hearing this news, Gao Jiu couldn't help but become nervous. He analyzed the trends of the Japanese army in this brigade and believed that there were two possibilities.

One possibility is that the Japanese army was going to detour to the south of Yangon City and to surround the defenders in Yangon City. This is a common tactic used by the Japanese army to shake the confidence of the defenders. The main forces of the two masters are attacking Yangon City. It is very reasonable for them to adopt such tactics. On the surface, it seems that this possibility is the greatest.

If this is the case, Gao Jiu was not worried, because the Japanese 23rd Division divided the troops and the 38th Division interspersed at the designated location, the pressure on the Japanese army was reduced. It can be said that this was a good fighter.

Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying also believed that the Japanese brigade troops should achieve such a battle goal, and their destination should be the south of Yangon City.

Everyone's inferences are reasonable and their opinions are consistent. Gao Jiu should be relieved, but he just had an ominous premonition and always felt that this matter seemed reasonable, but he was just uneasy.

He immediately sent special forces members to the south of Yangon City for investigation, and at the same time informed the coalition command in Sunshine City. The coalition command immediately sent troops to the south of the city for search.

About an hour later, the Japanese army indeed appeared in the south of Yangon City. They had a fierce exchange of fire with the troops sent by the coalition command to search. It seemed that the Japanese army had a lot of troops.

This basically verified the speculation of Gao Jiu and others. Although Gao Jiu was still a little uneasy, the battle plan to encircle and annihilate the 22nd Japanese Division has begun to be implemented, and he cannot hesitate. So he ordered the 38th Division of the Yuanzheng Army to continue to march towards the predetermined interspersion site.

At midnight, a transportation team of the Construction Workers Self-Defense Forces 50km northeast of the North District of the Golden Triangle suddenly encountered a large number of Japanese troops. They rushed to fight, but the Japanese army had a large number of troops. The Construction Workers Self-Defense Forces suffered heavy losses, with more than 100 casualties, and the materials they carried were also robbed by the Japanese army.

The members of the Self-Defense Force reported the news to Guo Hengming, who was stationed in the Administrative Committee. Guo Hengming hurriedly sent a telegram to Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu was very surprised when he saw the telegram. He now understood why his premonition was not good. The target of the Japanese brigade was not Yangon City, but to the northern part of the Golden Triangle. The one who appeared in the south of Yangon City was not the main force of the Japanese brigade, but at most a Japanese infantry brigade.

Gao Jiu immediately sent the information to the coalition command of Yangon City, asking them to send troops of no less than 5,000 people to the south of Yangon City to attack the Japanese troops that appeared there.

To find out the reality of the Japanese army. If the Japanese army lacks military strength, they will be eliminated resolutely.

It turned out that the Japanese army launched a large-scale attack on Yangon City, which was a conspiracy from the beginning. After a long battle in Southeast Asia, the Japanese southern dispatched troops had already made correct judgments. They knew that the anti-Japanese troops active in Thailand, Myanmar, especially the anti-Japanese troops around the Golden Triangle were supported by the strong industrial capabilities of the Golden Triangle North Region. If they wanted to eliminate these anti-Japanese troops, they must first destroy the industrial base in the Golden Triangle North Region and cut off the supply of these anti-Japanese troops' weapons, ammunition and other materials.

Therefore, their real intention of launching this battle in Yangon City was to send troops to attack the North District of the Jin Triangle. The reason why the Japanese army set up such a large formation was to attract the main forces of the Anti-Japanese Army to concentrate in Yangon City, thus creating an empty force in the North District of the Jin Triangle. Then, during the fierce battle, a brigade troops were secretly sent to attack the North District of the Jin Triangle, and attempting to completely destroy the rear base of the Anti-Japanese Army.

Now the main force of the anti-Japanese army in Myanmar is gathered in the Yangon City area. The northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle is very weak. The main force is only a reinforced squadron of the Taohuashan Guerrillas led by Li Chengwu, as well as 1,500 construction workers' self-defense team. Such a small force is obviously insufficient to defend the huge northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu and others made mistakes in judging this large-scale offensive battle launched by the Japanese army from the beginning. It can be said that they have been deceived by the Japanese army so far.

The Golden Triangle area is Gao Jiu's old nest. Most of Gao Jiu's efforts over the years have been here. Once something happens in the North District of the Golden Triangle, Gao Jiu's family has been accumulated over the years.

The two major problems facing Gao Jiu are now. One is to command the coalition forces according to the predetermined combat plan and encircle and annihilate the 22nd Division of the Japanese army. If this battle is won, the Japanese army's activities in Myanmar will be restricted for a long time. This will have a positive and significant impact on the anti-Japanese struggle situation in Southeast Asia. Now all kinds of anti-Japanese troops are gathered in the Yangon City area. This is a good fighter jet. If you give up this plan, you will not know when you will have to wait for such a fighter jet in the future.

However, the North District of the Golden Triangle must not be lost. Gao Jiu must keep his foundation no matter what.

Gao Jiu judged that the Japanese army was going to attack the North District of the Golden Triangle. He told Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying about this situation. Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying were anxious when they heard this. They immediately suggested that they give up the original combat plan of Yangon City to encircle and annihilate the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army, and return to the army immediately to rescue the North District of the Golden Triangle.

Gao Jiu thought about it over and over again and decided to implement it according to the original combat plan. He could not give up this good fighter jet that encircled and annihilated the 22nd Division of the Japanese Army and seized the initiative on the battlefield.

The Japanese army reduced the strength of a brigade in Yangon City, which was more conducive to the anti-Japanese army's encirclement and annihilation of the Japanese 22nd Division. After Gao Jiu made up his mind, he sent a telegram to Guo Hengming.

Guo Hengming quickly replied to the telegram, in which he said: "Please rest assured! We will be able to defend the northern part of the Golden Triangle and prevent the Japanese army from damaging every tree here." Guo Hengming followed Gao Jiu for more than a few years and was his beloved general. He acted calmly and Gao Jiu trusted him very much.

With Guo Hengming's guarantee, Gao Jiu's heart was at ease and strengthened his determination to implement the original combat plan.

He said to Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying: "Command the troops immediately and make sure to arrive at the scheduled interspersed position at 6 o'clock in the morning."

Although Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying were very worried about the safety of the North District of the Golden Triangle, they saw that Gao Jiu had made up their minds and were very moved by Gao Jiu's attitude of taking the overall situation into consideration. They immediately ordered the entire army to speed up the march and continue to move towards the predetermined goal.

At the same time, Gao Jiu sent a telegram to the coalition command in Yangon City, asking them to eliminate any interference and resolutely follow the original combat plan.

Gao Jiu did not tell Wang Zhankui, Wang Guimin and others about the news that the Japanese army wanted to attack the North District of the Jin Triangle. He was worried that they would be in chaos when they received this news, which would affect the morale of the entire army.

After sending a telegram to Gao Jiu, Guo Hengming immediately issued a mobilization order, calling on all residents of the North District of the Golden Triangle to arm themselves and fight against the Japanese attack.

The Japanese army has always been around the North District of the Golden Triangle. Although the residents of the North District of the Golden Triangle are mainly focused on building the North District of the Golden Triangle, they have never given up their preparations for the Japanese attack.

The Administrative Committee of the Golden Triangle has formulated an emergency combat plan to prevent the Japanese raid. While carrying out economic construction, it has not forgotten the basic training for the majority of residents. Today, the northern area of ​​the Golden Triangle has a population of more than one million, and most of them are industrial workers. These workers themselves have strong discipline and have also received basic military training. They have to conduct assembly exercises to prevent the Japanese offensive every month. They are also organized into militia organizations based on factories and can quickly gather in a short time. Staff from various departments of the administrative committee have also received basic military training.

Today, in the northern part of the Golden Triangle, there are few simple farmers. A few rural areas have established militia organizations and can also take on combat tasks at critical moments. In order to arm the people in a timely manner, the administrative committee's organs have already stockpiled a large number of weapons and ammunition in various agencies, institutions, villages, and factories so that they can be collected nearby.

After Guo Hengming issued the war mobilization order, alarms sounded everywhere in the northern part of the Golden Triangle.

In a factory, workers on night shifts were busy nervously. After they heard the alarm, everyone immediately shut down the machine and quickly ran out of the workshop to gather on the open space outside.

The workshop director stood in front of the team and shouted loudly: "Comrades, the Japanese are coming to attack our Golden Triangle. In order to defend their homes, everyone will follow me to collect weapons and resolutely eliminate the invading enemies."

In the industrial school in the North District of the Golden Triangle, with the alarm sounded, a large number of young students gathered on the school’s playground while wearing clothes.

The director held a submachine gun in his hand and said passionately: "Teachers and classmates! The Japanese are coming to attack our Golden Triangle. The Administrative Committee has issued a mobilization order calling on us to arm ourselves and resolutely repel the Japanese attack, defend our homes, our schools, and our peaceful desks."

The reason why the Director of Education issued such a mobilization order was because during the War of Resistance Against Japan, a very famous saying circulated.

: "In such a huge China, it is impossible to put down a peaceful desk." Such mobilization slogans have greatly inspired the fighting spirit of students and faculty to defend schools and peaceful learning environments.

Everyone immediately lined up to collect weapons. Under the leadership of the school leaders, they walked out of the school and ran towards the assembly ground in the city.

The above scene can be seen everywhere in the northern part of the Golden Triangle, and a large number of armed people gathered quickly towards the assembly ground in the city.

So, the cadres of the agency, staff, factory engineers, technicians and ordinary workers quickly collected weapons and quickly gathered according to the usual training.

The staff of the Administrative Committee immediately carried out active mobilization activities, and they mobilized a large number of ordinary citizens.

Most of the ordinary citizens of the Golden Triangle come from all over the world, and most of their lives were difficult and difficult. Now, in the Golden Triangle, they live a happy and prosperous life that they can't imagine in their dreams. They have great enthusiasm for defending their homes.

In just three hours, the North District of the Golden Triangle not only mobilized 400 Taohuashan guerrilla special forces members, 1,500 construction workers' self-defense team members, but also gathered 250,000 workers, 25,000 basic militia from the countryside, and 100,000 ordinary citizens, and also picked up weapons and joined the battle.

Among these people, there are a large number of foreigners from all over the world, with nearly 10,000 people. They also love this homeland, and they unswervingly picked up weapons and joined the battle ranks.

According to the usual training and combat plan, Guo Hengming assigned the special forces members to these armed teams as commanders, and then led them to fight the invading Japanese troops.

In a very short time, 100,000 armed forces were gathered in the northern part of the Golden Triangle, which was Guo Hengming's confidence.

After receiving Guo Hengming's telegram, Gao Jiu couldn't help but laugh. He handed the telegram to Liao Tong and Liu Zhanying.
Chapter completed!
