Chapter 48: Anyway
The Japanese army has always been wary of the Burmese Independence Volunteers.
They know that many of these Burmese independence volunteers are genuinely fighting for Burmese independence, and the reason why these people helped the Japanese army is only because they believed the lies of the Japanese army.
Then, as soon as these Burmese fighters find out that they have been deceived, or suspect that they have been deceived, they will quickly turn their guns on the Japanese.
As the saying goes, paper can't hold fire, and the Japanese also know that there will always be a day when the stuffing will leak, so their surveillance of the Burmese Independence Volunteer Army has never relaxed.
This made Neela and Dent's plan very difficult...... It is almost impossible to make contact with the Chinese without being discovered by the Japanese, which is almost impossible to do under Japanese surveillance.
But the bold and careful Neela did.
Nila's target was Lingbang, and her idea was that the Japanese and Chinese forces were in a stalemate in other directions, and it was obviously more difficult to penetrate the defense line and contact the Chinese in those positions, but it was easier for the fiercely fighting Lingbang with the two sides of the defense line to do so.
And Nila also has a good excuse, which is to bring the Burmese Independence Volunteer Army to deliver supplies to the "Imperial Army" and provide the necessary reinforcements for the "Imperial Army".
This is what the Burmese Independence Volunteers often do, and the Japanese army in Ling State was indeed in need of supplies at this time, so the Japanese army not only did not suspect but praised Nila greatly.
So that night, when Zhang Chizheng and Pete were looking at the map, they heard Xiao Zhejiang report: "Company commander, we have caught a Burmese spy!" ”
Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning: "What is there to report if you catch a Burmese spy." Interrogate yourself and look at it! ”
"Company commander......" Xiao Zhejiang hesitated a little: "That's a woman, and...... It seems that she has come to surrender, and it seems that if there is something to say, we don't know what she is talking about! ”
"Hmm!" After thinking about it, Zhang Chi nodded: "Bring it up!" ”
Soon Nila, who was tied up by the flowers, was brought into the company.
Almost at the same time, both Zhang Chi and Nila said, "It's you!" ”
"It's really a narrow road, I didn't expect to meet you here!" Zhang Chi said with a smile.
Neela gritted her teeth. Looking at Zhang Chi's eyes full of hatred and anger, she could never forget how many of her comrades-in-arms died in the battle of the highway bridge and fell under the gun of the Chinese in front of her.
But when Nila heard that Zhang Chi could speak fluent Burmese, she had to suppress her anger...... The one who can help himself now may be the Chinese in front of him.
"What? Are you here to surrender? Looking at Nila's hesitant look, Zhang Chi asked.
"No, I'm not here to surrender!" Nila replied, "I want to see your superiors!" ”
Obviously, Nila thinks that the Chinese official in front of her is too small...... It's just a captain, and to talk about such things as Sino-Burmese cooperation, you have to have a lieutenant general or a major general or something. Otherwise, it is negotiated now, and what if the Chinese do not recognize it when they turn around?!
Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but be stunned, and he vaguely felt that the arrival of this Nila in front of him was not simple. It is likely that she was negotiating with the Chinese army on behalf of the Burmese Independence Volunteers.
It is not difficult to guess this, this is because Zhang Chi knew that the historical Burmese Independence Volunteers discovered the truth soon after and turned against the Japanese army, and secondly, this Nila came to his superiors as soon as he came...... What do you do with your superiors? Naturally, there are important things to discuss.
But Zhang Chi spread his hands pretending not to know and said, "So...... You may have come to the wrong place, Xujia Village has been surrounded by the Japanese for more than ten days now. I'm afraid that I won't be able to fly out here, and the biggest official you can see here is me! ”
Hearing this, Nila couldn't help but be stunned, as soon as she heard the name "Xujia Village", she knew that Zhang Chi was telling the truth, and she had already learned about the war situation in the Lingbang area before she set off. I know that Xujiacun is indeed a place surrounded by the Japanese. Nila's target was originally Lingbang, but he didn't expect to see the road clearly because it was dark, and he was always worried that he would be discovered by the Japanese, so he rushed into Xujia Village.
This annoyed Neela a little. At this time, if you mix it out and then infiltrate Lingbang, it will obviously be more difficult and full of variables.
Zhang Chi raised his head to the left and right to signal them to leave, then pulled out his thorn to cut the rope tied to Nila's body, and casually moved a chair and placed it in front of Nila. "You have two choices, one is to wait here for a month or more, after we defeat the Japanese," he said. I promise to take you to my superiors! ”
Nila shook her head in annoyance, the Burmese Independence Volunteers couldn't wait that long.
"Another option......" Zhang Chi continued: "Maybe you can tell me what you want to say clearly, and I will report to my superiors through walkie-talkie!" ”
Neela was silent for a moment, and although it was not appropriate to talk about it on the walkie-talkie, there seemed to be no other way now.
"What level of Supreme Commander can you contact?" Neela asked.
Zhang Chi thought about it for a while, and said, "General Stilwell on the American side, is it enough?" ”
Of course, Neela had heard Stilwell's name, so he nodded, looked at no one around, and said, "I am a representative of the Burmese Independence Volunteers, and the Burmese Independence Volunteers want to work with you to defeat the Japanese!" ”
Although Zhang Chi had already guessed this, he still asked, "Why?" Haven't you been helping the Japanese fight us? ”
It's not that Zhang Chi is pretentious, but that he does everything on the battlefield, and Zhang Chi is not sure if this is a trap set by the Burmese and the Japanese.
"Because they're not here to help Burma become independent!" Nila replied: "Our division commander's family has died tragically at the hands of the Japanese, and the Japanese still have all kinds of evil deeds in Burma, and they have not yet torn their faces with us because we still have use value." ”
As she spoke, Nila told Zhang Chi what had happened in Mandalay.
Zhang Chi nodded after listening, and at this time he already believed that Nila and the Burmese Independent Volunteers were really going to do it anyway.
Of course, this is good news for the Chinese army, and even for the Chinese, British, and American coalition forces, but Zhang Chi has a scruple.
Zhang Chi's scruples were not the Japanese or the Burmese, but China's allies, the British, the British, who shamelessly sacrificed the interests of their allies in the First Burma Campaign and ultimately upset the war.
If the British heard the news, I am afraid that they will have to play the businessman's calculus again. (To be continued.) )
