A week later, it was New Year's Day in 1941.

Zhong Yi had just listened to the New Year's Day announcement issued by Principal Chang at the Myanmar War Zone Chief Office, and the adjutant Zhang Shiliang hurried in and reported to him: "Captain Zhong, the Japanese army has advanced to the east bank of the Salwin River!"

Zhong Yi was talking, Stilwell immediately stopped talking.

Stilwell said: "Zhong, the Japanese army came faster than expected."

"It was expected." Zhong Yi grinned and continued, "The work of the Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs is still very effective, and the infiltration of Myanmar seems to be relatively successful, so we can roughly know some of our defense deployments. In this way, the rapid advancement of the Japanese army is reasonable, and I am not surprised at all."

After pausing, Zhong Yi smiled and said, "But the faster the Japanese come, the more beneficial it is for us! It's just right to take advantage of this opportunity to give the Japanese a warning!"

"Discharging?" Stilwell's heart moved.

...

In southern Myanmar, tiles.

"Bang!" Otsuki Kenji slapped himself hard on the face. When he took it down, there was a flower mosquito in the palm of his hand, and a pool of blood was spreading around him.

"Bagayaru." Otsuki Kenji couldn't help but curse, "There are so many flower mosquitoes in Myanmar. When will the mosquito coils from the Military Force be delivered?"

The quarconian next to him was timid, not sure what was going on.

"Damn it, we will be killed by the corrupt officials of the Military Forces Department sooner or later!" Otsuki Kenji said angrily, "I heard that the corrupt officials of the Military Forces Department actually smuggled opium with the military's transport ships! In order to make a few black money, they really don't even care about the lives and deaths of hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers on the front line?"

"Mr. Otsuki, be careful of your words." Mutaguchi Ryokawa couldn't help but remind him.

"Hayi." Otsuki Kenji paused and said unconvincedly, "Captain of the division, isn't what I said? We endured the bites of mosquitoes and flies in the swamp jungles in Southeast Asia, but the corrupt officials of the Military Control Commission were still thinking about making money. They were sinners of the empire and they must be severely punished by the imperial military laws!"

Ryo Mudaguchi also said: "The question is, are you saying these useful?"

"Uh..." Kenji Otsuki was speechless. Yes, is it useful to say these?

The answer is obvious. Even if he makes the world come to absolutely unsuccessful, it will be useless.

"So, you might as well save some effort." After Mudaguchi Ryoya said that, he slapped his neck and then took it down. When he took it down, there was a mosquito in his palm.

Looking at the mosquitoes in the palm of his hand, Ryoma Mutaguchi was also helpless.

Mosquito has no eyes, so he will not be able to show off his face just because he is the commander of the division.

Of course, as the division commander, there is still some privilege. The small amount of mosquito coils carried by the baggage unit could be given priority to the division headquarters, but Mutaguchi Ryo also equipped the mosquito coils to the 55th infantry revolver.

After dusting the mosquito corpse to the ground, Mutaguchi Ryokan also asked: "Otsuki, where has the 55th Infantry Regiment been?"

"Hayi." Otsuki Kenji paused and replied, "Half an hour ago, the 55th infantry revolver had successfully advanced to the vicinity of Maudami. If nothing unexpected happens, it should have reached the east bank of the Salwin River."

"Have you reached the east bank of the Salwin River?" Mutaguchi Ryoya's eyes fell back on the map and asked, "Have you been attacked along the way?"

"No." Otsuki Kenji said excitedly, "not only did the 55th infantry rebels not suffer attacks, but were warmly welcomed by the natives of Myanmar along the way, saying that they were thanking us for rescuing them from the enslavement of the British."

"Save? Hahaha." Mudaguchi Ryo also laughed, "Do you really believe these stupid natives?"

"They really believe it." Otsuki Kenji laughed, "These indigenous people not only took out a lot of food to comfort the Imperial Army, but also local militias took the initiative to join the Imperial Army and fight with the British Army and the Chinese Army. However, the equipment of these militias was too poor and the quality of the soldiers was of varying quality, so I was afraid it would be of great use."

"You must use it even if you are embarrassed." Mutaguchi Ryoko also sneered, "You can always be competent as cannon fodder."

After a pause, Mutaguchi Ryo also continued: "Let me find a few officers to be military advisers for them and arm these militias as soon as possible."

"Hayi." Kenji Otsuki paused his head and agreed.

Mudaguchi Ryo asked again: "What's going on over the Navy?"

Otsuki Kaneji said: "Commander Yamamoto sent a special condemnation team to the Andaman Sea to cooperate with us. The British may have been scared by the battle on the Malay Peninsula and Singapore. The Navy Special Condemnation team had just entered the Andaman Sea, and the British fleet that had originally wandered in this area retreated."

"The British army was scared out of fear? Da Yue, you are wrong." Mudaguchi Riki also shook his head and said, "Although the British army suffered defeats on the Malay Peninsula and Singapore, the foundation of the superpower is still there. It is impossible to be scared out of fear by us. The British army should be concerned about our air force!"

"Air Force?" Otsuki Kenji said in surprise, "Have the Air Force arrived in Bangkok?"

"Yes, I'm in Bangkok." Mutaguchi Ryokawa nodded and said, "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has just reached a military agreement with Thailand. The two airports in Bangkok have been requisitioned by the Imperial Air Force. The British fleet in the Andaman Sea should be concerned about the bombers taken off in Bangkok, so they retreated in a hurry."

While speaking, a roar of the plane engine suddenly rang out above my head.

When the two of them rushed out of the tent and looked into the sky, they saw more than a dozen bombers lined up in a formation and were flying over from a high altitude.

Although the bomber's flight altitude is very high, the patterns under the wings are still clearly visible in the clear sky, which are the sunrise pattern of the Imperial Air Force.

"What a pity." Otsuki Kenji said, "It's a step slower."

"There is nothing to be a pity." Mudaguchi Ryokawa also shook his head and said, "As long as air control is in the hands of the Imperial Army, the British fleets in the Andaman Sea and the entire Indian Ocean will sooner or later be annihilated by the empire."

"Hayi." Otsuki Kazuji said, "at least now the 55th Infantry Regiment can easily cross the Salwin River with the assistance of the Navy."

"No." But Ryo Mutaguchi shook his head and said in a deep voice, "The 55th Infantry Regiment cannot cross the river."

"Nani? Can't cross the river?" Otsuki Kenji said in surprise, "Second Commander, why is it that the river not crossed? According to reliable information, the Chinese army did not set up defenses on both sides of the Salwin River?"
