Chapter 988: Chasing Dogs and Killing Chickens
While the two little ones were trying to find a way to survive, Yu Xiaoqing, who was confronting them at the Nantianmen, was also having a hard time.

His Yu Division, that is, the Sichuan Army Corps he formed, had recently received a batch of new equipment, as well as additional personnel, and was ambitiously preparing to cross the Nujiang River and fight a decisive battle with Xiaozi.

As a result, the people on the opposite side retreated and started doing civil engineering work, almost hollowing out the entire mountain.

According to the pre-made plan, if they attacked, his Yu Shichuan Army would not be enough even if all of its troops were deployed.

This completely dumbfounded the arrogant Yu Xiaoqing.

"Damn it, these bastards actually hollowed out the entire mountain?" Yu Xiaoqing was so angry that he cursed at the command center.

The other two people in the command center, Tang Ji and Director Chen, looked at each other and a hint of excitement flashed across their faces.

"Commander, we should make a new plan. The original battle plan cannot be implemented. Otherwise, even if all our Sichuan Army soldiers fight, it will not be enough." Tang Ji cleared his throat and said.

He now wished that this confrontation could last a little longer. In just this month, he could at least earn a few hundred small yellow croakers.

Penicillin was so popular that it was sometimes sold out before the goods even arrived.

Many troops have even paid deposits, hoping to have priority in obtaining penicillin next time.

Tang Ji originally thought that guarding the South Gate of Heaven was a tough job, but now it seems to be a popular job. I wonder how many people are eyeing this place.

If he hadn't negotiated with the Military Control Commission, if he hadn't given up most of his interests, the young and inexperienced Yu Xiaoqing would have been fired and thrown onto a battlefield long ago.

"Yes, Commander, I think the plan should be revised. Our Military Control Commission has received a secret report that the reinforcements from Xiaorizi were driven back to Nujiang River. Since they can't tackle the tough problem over there, they might target our Nantianmen instead." Director Chen also chimed in.

He now wishes that Nantianmen could be defended forever. During this period, the benefits gained by the Military Control Commission were so great that he was thinking, why not just run away after getting enough?
Yu Xiaoqing looked at Director Chen in surprise. He had never gotten along well with this director of the Military Control Commission’s Sichuan Corps, so why was he so kind today?

But he didn't beat around the bush. Yu Xiaoqing immediately said in a cold voice:
"Don't worry, I will never let Xiao Ri cross the river. The Sichuan Army will defend Nantianmen to the death."

"Deputy Commander Tang, Zhang Zongxian recently reported that desertion in various units is becoming more and more serious. I hope you can investigate it!"

"No problem, leave it to me!" Tang Ji responded quickly, but cursed in his heart, investigation? Where to investigate? He himself is the evil dragon.

"Master Tang, this Zhang Zongxian is a trouble." On the way back, Director Chen said to Tang Ji.

Hearing this, Tang Ji remained calm and wiped his sweat with his handkerchief: "It's really hot in Zenda."

"Master Tang!" Director Chen raised his voice.

Tang Ji glanced at Director Chen and said slowly:
"Director Chen, you need to keep calm. How can a mere Zhang Zongxian cause such a commotion? Aren't there people on the other side who are short of people? Just list some crimes and throw them at him!"

Hearing this, Director Chen looked at Tang Ji, gave him a thumbs up, and praised:

"As expected of Master Tang, you are really amazing, killing two birds with one stone. However, Zhang Zongxian is Master Yu's confidant, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with him!"

"What do you mean by confidant or not? This kid's tail is not so clean!" Tang Ji said with disdain:

"I'll charge him with the crime of failing to supervise properly and throw him into your Military Control Bureau's custody room for interrogation. Then, we'll find a reason to throw him there during the next transaction. If he dares to come back, treat him as a deserter!"

Tang Ji indeed assisted Yu Xiaoqing with all his heart. Without him, how could Yu Xiaoqing keep sitting firmly in this chair?
How is that possible? In his eyes, Yu Xiaoqing is still a child, immature. He always thinks that he got this position by relying on his ability.

Little did he know that there were many people more capable than him, so why didn’t he get this position?
However, Tang Ji wanted to try his best to get more without affecting the overall situation, otherwise the little military pay he had would not be enough for gifts.

"Master Tang is still very capable. Leave this matter to us." Director Chen also knew that if he wanted to get the money safely, Zhang Zongxian had to be resolved.

After returning to the Military Control Commission office, Director Chen immediately had Zhang Zongxian brought in for questioning.

As soon as he entered the interrogation room of the Military Control Commission, Zhang Zongxian was stunned.

"Zhang Zongxian, do you admit your guilt?" Director Chen looked at him with cold eyes, making Zhang Zongxian a little panicked.

"You don't have to say anything. Many of the deserters during this period came from your company. According to military law, you are guilty of failure to supervise properly."

"Just reflect on it here. When you figure it out, come back to me."

After saying that, Director Chen turned and left without giving him a chance to speak.

"Damn it, you are a bunch of bastards!" Zhang Zongxian finally realized what was going on after Director Chen left.

He had just reported the desertion to Master Yu, and was caught by the Military Control Commission. He would never believe that there was no trick.

Unfortunately, no matter how he shouted, it was useless because no one paid any attention to them.

······
On the other side, Tanaka Shinichi's command center welcomed an important person, or rather, a person who changed their destiny.

Looking at the command center of his daily life, Li Qing couldn't help but sigh. More than a month ago, he was still a citizen who was worried all day long.

Now, he has become the guest of honor of the commander of the Xiaoshi Division, and the Xiaoshi soldiers around him can only look at him respectfully.

These soldiers who seemed ferocious to him in the past are now extremely well-behaved.

"Mr. Li, we are in urgent need of a large amount of weapons and ammunition. I heard that you can get some?" Seeing Li Qing, Tanaka Shinichi introduced enthusiastically: "This is Lieutenant General Watanabe Masao, the commander of the 56th Division."

Hearing this, Li Qing was extremely calm. He looked at Tanaka Shinichi and said, "Well, we can indeed get a batch of weapons. It won't be a problem to equip one or two regiments!"

He had been to Lin Hao's warehouse, where there were a large number of seized daily weapons. This was also the purpose of his visit, so he spoke directly.

"Oh, that's great, but I don't know the price?" Lieutenant General Watanabe Masao was also a little surprised. He didn't expect this guy to be so powerful? Could he really get weapons?

"Fifteen tons of gold, or antique calligraphy and paintings of equal value will do!" Li Qing strictly followed Lin Hao's instructions.

After plundering most of Myanmar, they are very rich. Especially now that their supply lines have been cut off, the supplies are pitifully scarce.

So, no matter what excessive demands they made, they had to agree.

"Baga, you're robbing!" Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe roared angrily.

The weapons of the two regiments were sold for fifteen tons of gold. This was simply robbery.

"Hmph, it looks like this deal can't be done. Goodbye!" Li Qing didn't tolerate them at all. He turned around and left without hesitation.

Upon seeing this, Tanaka Shinichi hurriedly pulled Li Qing to comfort him, "Li-san, don't be angry, Watanabe-kun is just a little excited."

"Watanabe-kun, our supplies won't last long. Without weapons and ammunition, how can you attack India? As long as we take India, what's the use of a mere fifteen tons of gold?"

"Mr. Tanaka, I get it!" Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe also knew that they were now like fish on someone else's chopping board, at the mercy of others.

However, Watanabe Masao was very upset. When did the invincible Imperial Army become like this? "In three days, the weapons and ammunition will be delivered to 50 kilometers outside Myitkyina. At that time, we will exchange the money and the goods." Li Qing's expression eased a lot, but his tone was still cold.

"Thank you, Mr. Li. I heard that you can still buy penicillin here?" At this time, Tanaka Shinichi asked again.

Hearing this, Li Qing looked at Tanaka Shinichi in surprise. He was not surprised because he knew about penicillin, but because he knew that he had it, which was not simple.

After all, penicillin was very popular during this period, so it was not surprising to know about it. The key was how to know that you had it.

"I still have a good relationship with the Li family!" Lieutenant General Tanaka Shinichi said with a smile.

Hearing Li's words, Li Qing suddenly realized something and said in a deep voice, "You want to buy penicillin?"

"Yes!" Lieutenant General Tanaka Shinichi likes to plan before taking action. Since he has decided to launch an expedition to India, he must make adequate preparations. Casualties are inevitable in war, but the casualty rate must be reduced. The miraculous effect of penicillin gives Tanaka Shinichi hope.

"How much do you want?" Li Qing asked with narrowed eyes.

"Two thousand boxes. Don't worry, I know the rules. It's a golden deal." Tanaka Shinichi stretched out two fingers.

"Well, I need to ask for instructions." Li Qing thought about it and decided that he didn't dare to make a decision on his own on such a matter. It would be safer to ask Lin Hao for instructions.

"No problem." Tanaka Shinichi naturally knew that there were other people behind the other party, and immediately nodded in agreement.

Lin Hao was not surprised to receive the telegram from Li Qing, or he had guessed it long ago.

The miraculous effect of penicillin has attracted the attention of all parties, especially Bristol-Myers Squibb. Seeing that countless wealth has gone into other people's pockets, the jealous eyes are murderous.

In order to complete large-scale mass production as soon as possible, Bristol-Myers Squibb took out another loan to expand its production scale.

Knowing this news, Lin Hao began to sell penicillin on a large scale. As the saying goes, the quick hand will get the quick hand, and he had to take a bite of this golden baby before they went into mass production.

"Sell, sell them all to them, and ask them if they want food and automatic weapons!" Lin Hao thought about it and decided to strengthen Xiao Ri's strength. Otherwise, how could he beat the British army away?
As for whether there will be a backlash? The lifeline of logistics is in his hands. He can pinch them wherever he wants.

After receiving the instructions, Li Qing immediately found Tanaka Shinichi and said:

"No problem, but the price will have to double. Our production capacity is not enough these days~!"

"No problem!" Tanaka Shinichi still said with a smile.

"Do you want to buy food?" Li Qing asked again.

"Food? You have it~?" Tanaka Shinichi asked with some surprise.

He was not wondering whether Li Qing had food, but was wondering whether they would actually sell food.

Food, medicine, weapons and ammunition are all in short supply. Tanaka Shinichi was already worried about food rations, so he was naturally very happy to hear this news.

"Sure, 10,000 tons of rice, eh?"

"Yes!" Since they were going to be slaughtered anyway, Tanaka Shinichi could only comfort himself that once they conquered India, they would have all the wealth they wanted.

Three days later, the transaction went on very smoothly. It would have been unacceptable if it had not gone smoothly.

Li Qing brought a battalion of Sichuan Army to escort the transportation, and also had tanks on duty, which instantly gave up the idea of ​​robbing fellow thieves that Watanabe Masao had originally had in mind.

At the same time, he had a vague understanding in his mind. Although the escorting troops did not raise the flag, he had guessed that this was definitely the Sichuan Army Corps. Apart from them, no one else had such military strength.

Thinking back on what happened along the way from Yangon to here, Watanabe was horrified~!

Not to mention Watanabe's guess, this time in order to trade with Lin Hao, they brought fifty tons of gold, of which thirty tons were gold, and the other twenty tons were antiques, calligraphy and paintings, books and other things of equal value.

After receiving the supplies, Lieutenant General Masao Watanabe immediately led the reorganized 56th Division and Tanaka's division to break out directly from the direction of Saito without saying a word.

When they successfully broke through the encirclement, Watanabe Masao further confirmed his guess that the Sichuan Army really wanted to use them as a stepping stone to pry open Daying's defense zone.

With this realization in mind, Watanabe was no longer in a hurry. Compared to being chased like a dog before, now that he knew the purpose of the Sichuan Army, he naturally had to wipe out the timid British troops.

After breaking out of the siege, Watanabe did not tell Tanaka about his guess, but proposed to split the troops into two groups, suggesting that Tanaka attack from the coast while he continued to fight northward.

Tanaka thought Watanabe was attracting fire for him. Although he politely said thank you for your hard work, he was very happy in his heart.

You know, you know, the Sichuan Army was always following them. After they captured a city, they hadn't stayed there for long before the Sichuan Army would chase them from behind.

He originally wanted to fight with the Sichuan Army, but ended up getting beaten to a bloody pulp again. He had to simply plunder some wealth and leave quickly.

Watanabe continued to move north, of course not to attract firepower to cover Tanaka, but because the cities here were richer and more wealth could be plundered.

In this way, Watanabe's division became stronger and stronger, and had already incorporated two Burmese divisions, and was heading straight for Imphal in India.

The British troops stationed in Imphal were frightened and ran away when they heard that Xiaori's army was coming.

"Hahaha, these British beasts are cowards. Pass my order and keep attacking." The high-spirited Watanabe Masao might not be able to defeat the Sichuan Army, but he was very good at beating the British Army.

The capture of Imphal not only brought Watanabe Masao a huge fortune, but also unexpectedly expanded his military strength.

There were so many people suffering from oppression by the British army that Watanabe Masao didn't even need to recruit them. Thousands of them came to surrender on their own, which surprised Watanabe Masao greatly.

The British commander, Lord Alexander, was completely panicked.

"What? Xiaorizi is launching an attack on India?" Lord Alexander's face was full of disbelief.

"Yes, your lordship, they have taken Imphal. What should we do now? They may invade India at any time!" The officer who came to report was panicked.

"Damn it, how should I know what to do? Yes, find Stilwell and ask him to send troops to stop the little day." Lord Alexander said as he ran towards the headquarters.

Stilwell was also stunned when he got the news: "What did you say? You took Imphal? Are you attacking India?"

"Yes, Commander, please send troops. India must not be lost." Lord Alexander was extremely nervous. Without India, the British army would be completely finished.

Therefore, Tianzhu must not be lost.

"Send troops? Where to, you bastard? Where are the supplies you promised me? It's been a month, and you only sent such a small amount of supplies, not even enough for basic consumption. Now you want me to send troops? What can I use to send troops to you?" Stilwell was also annoyed. The originally good situation was ruined by this pig.

Lord Alexander looked extremely ugly after being scolded. He had always been worried that Stilwell would interfere in India, but now that the good days have come, it is clear who is more dangerous.

"Commander, I will have the supplies delivered right away. Please make sure to stop the attack from the little bastards." Lord Alexander suppressed his dissatisfaction and said humbly.

"I understand!" Stilwell rubbed his head in pain.
