Chapter 147: Receiving (Four More Requests for Subscription)
This hump route is actually to use the British venue to use Yankee supplies and planes to transfuse blood for China's anti-Japanese war.
Therefore, although Zhang Chi wanted to teach the British a hard lesson, from the overall strategic consideration, he could not tear his face with Britain and the United States under any circumstances, and it was conceivable that if he tore his face with Britain and the United States, Chiang Kai-shek would also divide the division of labor for the sake of the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War.
But what the old man said reassured Zhang Chi.
The old man handed Zhang Chi a pot of water, looked at the gunfire on the other side and puffed his chest and said with emotion: "Comrade, did you hear that?" Those are the gunfire of our Burmese Independence Volunteers, and they know that you are coming, so they will take the lead in controlling the points and important facilities in Myitkyina, so that they can cooperate with you to repel the British! ”
"Oh!" This time Zhang Chi understood, it turned out to be the Burmese Independence Volunteer Army.
In fact, it is not only the Burmese Independence Volunteers, but also many Anglo-Burmese troops who have long had different intentions...... Just like the Anglo-Burmese soldiers in Ringanqiang, many of the Anglo-Burmese troops stationed in Myitkyina were ready to mutini early in the morning, and as soon as they heard that the "Japanese army" was already crossing the river, they no longer waited, and immediately launched a series of mutinies in the hope of "cooperating with the Japanese army" to defeat the British army in one fell swoop.
Therefore, on the battlefield in Burma, it is not without reason that the towns garrisoned by the British army are often handed over to the Japanese army as they are. This sometimes cannot be said to be the incompetence of the British army, even if Zhang Chi stands in the case of the British army, he is afraid that he will not be able to return to the sky.
This can only be said to be the price paid by the British army for the previous colonization of Burma, but the British army also pulled the Chinese expeditionary force into the water when they paid the price.
More than 20 minutes later, Wang Mazi, Zhang Chi and others landed on the other side of the Inovady River, and at this time, the engineering regiment, including tanks and armored vehicles, all crossed the river smoothly, and it can even be said that there were some more things, these things were eggs, pancakes, corn, and so on sent by the Burmese people who had heard that the "Japanese army" had arrived...... This made Zhang Chi really envious of the Japanese army.
From this point of view, the Japanese troops who entered Burma to fight were very happy. Because they enjoy here the "military and civilian fish and water conditions" that they can't enjoy on other battlefields.
As soon as Wang Mazi came ashore, he glanced at one of the lieutenants.
The adjutant immediately dispersed with a team of guards to the ferries, ostensibly to help with the crew, but in fact to keep the ferries firmly in their hands...... Wang Mazi didn't want these ferries to soon become a means of crossing the river for the Japanese army to attack Myitkyina.
"Comrade!" At this time, the Burmese old man didn't know where to pull out a revolver and said, "Let's go, let's show you the way." We know where the command of the British is! ”
Zhang Chi looked at Wang Mazi, Wang Mazi nodded, so Zhang Chi and the others followed the old man quietly.
Along the way, the engineer regiment hardly encountered any decent resistance, and if there was any resistance, it was that more and more Anglo-Burmese troops joined behind the old man halfway, and later even the tanks were so crowded that they had to drive forward carefully so as not to crush people.
Zhang Chi was a little helpless about this, because he knew that if they were really "Japanese troops" at this time, then the Japanese army would easily occupy Myitkyina under the leadership of the Burmese. There are even Ba Mo and Jingdong.
If one day, when these Burmese people discover the true face of the Japanese, and then recall today's scene, I don't know how they will feel.
It only took more than half an hour for the engineer regiment to occupy the British headquarters, and it was more appropriate to use "receiving" than "occupying", because they almost followed the footsteps of the Burmese military and civilians to rush into the British headquarters. And in the huge British army headquarters, except for a few British soldiers with their hands raised and their faces were pale.
At this time, Adjutant Lin couldn't help laughing when he saw the British soldier holding his hand. He stepped forward and scolded a British major: "You drop, didn't you let Lao Tzu wait for you to agree at the other end of the river?" Lao Tzu is here now......"
Maybe this Adjutant Lin is a little carried away. So the words spoken turned out to be Chinese, so everyone was stunned on the spot, and the Burmese people around who were still cheering and cheering just now suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at Adjutant Lin like ghosts.
Adjutant Lin found that he was showing his feet, and couldn't help but look at Wang Mazi behind him in embarrassment.
Wang Mazi glared at Adjutant Lin fiercely, and then gave an order: "Do it!" ”
"Wow". The muzzles of the fighters were all turned to the Burmese.
At this time, the Burmese were surprised to find that they did not know when the "Japanese army" had occupied the commanding heights and surrounded them with firepower.
"Comrade!" The old man asked Zhang Chi suspiciously: "What are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Chi touched his nose, as the so-called "hands that take people are short, and the mouth that eats people is soft", the old man gave Zhang Chi and the engineer regiment so many benefits and help. At this time, if you want to make Zhang Chi turn his face and not recognize people, it will be really embarrassing.
"Comrade!" Zhang Chi replied: "We are Chinese......"
"Zhong......" The old man looked at Zhang Chi in disbelief.
"Yes!" Zhang Chi nodded: "We are allies of the British and enemies of the Japanese!" But we are not enemies of Myanmar! ”
Zhang Chi said this sincerely, but the old man obviously didn't appreciate it, he was about to spit at Zhang Chi with a "bah" sputum, but was snatched up by the hooligan in time and knocked to the ground with a rifle butt.
"it!" The hooligan spat at the old man and scolded: "Just because you are still 'bah' people? Let's take a picture of the pee, sell it to the Japanese and count the money for them...... There will be regrets in the future! ”
Wang Mazi was no longer polite to these Burmese who couldn't see the situation clearly, and ordered: "All the guns have been confiscated, and there will be no mercy for violating the order!" ”
"Yes!" A group of fighters responded and stepped forward with guns in hand and motioned for the Burmese to pile their guns and equipment on the ground.
Many of these Burmese had defected from the Anglo-Burmese army, and at this time, they saw that Chinese were tanks and armored vehicles, and the machine guns and artillery completely blocked them, and they did not dare to resist at the moment, and one after another piled up guns and equipment in the center...... To the ridicule of Zhang Chi and the soldiers, in addition to Enfield rifles, there were many knives, hoes, and even poles and sticks.
However, it is not surprising that during the British colonization of Burma, it was strictly forbidden for the people to be armed, so some people simply took these rudimentary "equipment" to support the "Japanese army". (To be continued.) )
