Chapter 150: Temple
PS: Congratulations to the class leader for becoming the leader of this book, and the class leader is an old reader who has followed all the way from the decisive battle in North Korea, thank you for your support!
Fortunately, the engineering regiment evacuated the supplies in time, because the sky was just dawning when the roar of airplanes was heard, and then after the roar of a bomb, the railway station seemed to be wiped out by a big hand, and only a bunch of bombed carriages and broken and deformed railroad tracks were left all over the ground.
Looking at all this, Wang Mazi couldn't help but look at Zhang Chi, gritted his teeth and said: "There are internal ghosts in Myitkyina!" ”
Zhang Chi understood what Wang Mazi meant.
The maximum speed of the Japanese heavy bombers was only more than 200 kilometers per hour, and the nearest airfield of the Japanese army in Burma at this time was on the Magway line, which was more than 900 kilometers away from Myitkyina.
At the speed of the Japanese bombers, these 900 kilometers or so would have taken about four hours to fly. In other words, the Japanese bombers set off last night while the Engineer Regiment was still evacuating supplies. Moreover, it was just getting dark, but the Japanese bombers were able to drop their bombs on the railway station very accurately, which indicates that someone was indicating targets for the Japanese bombers in Myitkyina.
"Maybe it's plainclothes Japanese soldiers!" Zhang Chi said.
Wang Mazi also nodded, because it was obviously not something that ordinary people could do to summon a large number of bombers from the Japanese army, not to mention anything else, just say that the radio stations that could communicate with the Japanese army were not owned by the Burmese.
Zhang Chi guessed correctly, this is exactly the ghost of the Japanese plainclothes team. There were a total of eight people in this plainclothes team of the Japanese army, and the leader was called Inoue Takeko, who was a young man.
Inoue was one of the first to enter Burma, and his plainclothes team even operated in Myitkyina for five months.
The reason why it has been in business for so long is because Myitkyina is the terminus of the Burma Railway, which is a transfer point for British military supplies. What the Japanese army lacked was supplies. So naturally, we have to keep an eye on Myitkyina.
With the help of the Burmese Independence Volunteers, Takeko's espionage operations in Myitkyina went so well that he was able to master a considerable portion of the means of transport, including the steamers used to cross the river, without the British being aware of it.
But just when Inoue Takeko thought that everything was ready, only the east wind was owed, a gunshot suddenly came from outside the city, and then Gordon excitedly reported to him: "Your Excellency Shaozuo." The Japanese army is coming! ”
Gordon is a member of the Burmese Independence Volunteers, and because he knows a few words of Japanese, he was sent to Inoue's side as a translator.
"Oh!" This news couldn't help but make Inoue Takeko excited, but when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong, and when he contacted the headquarters last night, he also said that the vanguard of the 33rd Division would take about two days to arrive, and it was only one day......
So Inoue Takeko asked more: "Which army is coming?" ”
"Oh, I don't know!" Gordon replied, "They say...... It's from across the Madeady River! ”
When I heard that Inoue Wugeng was very unhappy...... The troops coming from the direction of the Inovady River represent the troops of the Eastern Front, and the 56th Division of the Eastern Front was blocked by the Chinese army not long ago and could not move in Tangji. The airborne troops occupying Lashio also suffered heavy casualties and were unable to extend the gains of the battle, and it was impossible for them to suddenly appear in Myitkyina, 400 kilometers away.
Then a Japanese plainclothes man ran in in a panic and reported: "Your Excellency Shaozuo, Chinese, the Chinese army ...... Already in town! ”
"Chinese army?!" Inoue Takeko was stunned when he heard this, and then he couldn't close his mouth for a long time, and he realized that it was very likely that the Burmese had mistaken the Chinese army for the Japanese army and transported it across the river.
"Bastard!" Inoue Takeko couldn't help but scold: "These damn Burmese, stupid! ”
Only then did Gordon know that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly asked, "Do you want to ...... I'm going to inform them......"
"It's too late!" Inoue shook his head weakly and sat back in his chair.
You know, he's been working hard here for more than five months. For this reason, his weight was sharply reduced by more than a dozen pounds, but he did not expect that the fruits of this victory were suddenly picked by the Chinese.
The one that hurts his heart the most. Or the countless supplies at the train station...... Originally, Inoue Wugeng thought that these materials would definitely fall into the pocket of the imperial army, but he didn't expect to kill Cheng Cheng Jinlai halfway.
"Quick!" Then Inoue Takeko ordered: "Send a telegram to the headquarters and send bombers to blow up the train station immediately!" ”
"Your Excellency Shaozuo!" The subordinates couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this order.
"Go!" Inoue Takegeng accentuated his tone: "Can't let the Chinese get these supplies!" ”
"Yes!" The subordinates immediately set up a radio station and sent the news out.
Hence the bombing of the train station in the early hours of the morning.
But Zhang Chi and the others knew that there were Japanese plainclothes in Myitkyina, but they were helpless, they knew that this was a war, and the engineer regiment was not in a hurry to organize defense, so where did they still have the heart to catch spies.
But these Japanese spies are thorns in their eyes...... They could tell the Japanese at any time about the situation in Myitkyina and even about the deployment of the Chinese army. So the Japanese army could launch a targeted attack, and even these plainclothes could launch another uprising inside Myitkyina, when the engineer regiment was afraid that it would fall into the situation of internal and external attacks again.
"Sir!" When Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi were worried, they saw Liu Ting and a female soldier driving a jeep and stopped in front of Wang Mazi, and then the two heroic female soldiers jumped out of the car and saluted Wang Mazi. The report said: "We have found clues to the spies! ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Wang Mazi couldn't help but be stunned, and then slapped his face and said, "Hey, why did I forget you!" ”
These female soldiers are members of the military commander, and what the military commander is best at is not fighting, but engaging in intelligence, assassination and other espionage work. Since they are good at these, of course, they are also good at digging out the Japanese spies.
Wang Mazi didn't say much, and asked, "Say it quickly, what clues?" ”
"We saw someone setting fire on the side of the street, and we thought their movements were suspicious, so we followed them for a while!" Liu Ting reported: "It turned out that those people set fire to the four houses in a regular manner. At first we didn't understand why they did this, but after the bombing of the train station it understood......"
"Oh!" Zhang Chi couldn't help but suddenly realize: "The center of those four houses is the train station!" ”
"Yes!" Liu Ting nodded: "That's how they pointed out the targets for the bombers, so we guessed they might be spies of the Japanese army." ”
"Have you found their location?" Wang Mazi asked.
"Of course!" Liu Ting replied: "They are hiding in the temple!" ”
"Temple?!" Zhang Chi couldn't help frowning. (To be continued.) )
