Chapter 993: Rainy Night Raid

The northern country is the season when thousands of miles of ice are frozen, but the land of southern Yunnan is full of green and lush. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As dusk approached, an endless layer of dark gray clouds slowly moved northward, soon obscuring the brilliant sunset, and the sky and the earth suddenly darkened, and the heavy night shrouded the earth in the blink of an eye.

Before long, a strong wind blew, and the Mokong Mountains on the border between China and Myanmar swayed, and a burst of raindrops the size of beans knocked the trees all over the mountain into a loud sound.

After a few minutes of heavy rain, it turned into a heavy drizzle, and the temperature dropped suddenly, except for the sound of the wind and the sound of dripping raindrops all over the mountains.

At the foot of Mangsang Mountain, at the western foot of the Mokong Mountains, a small wooden building hidden in the shade of the trees revealed a few dim lights.

On the ground floor of the wooden building, where livestock were originally housed, dozens of men wearing kawa clothes and trousers with black turbans wrapped around their heads sat faintly.

On the beams in the middle of the upstairs hall, a lantern hung high, swaying slightly in the wind.

Under the horse lamp, four fierce Kawa men, almost head to head, stared at the map on the small square table, nervously discussing.

A sudden night rain disrupted the upcoming raid plan of the Kawa self-defense army commando, the eldest son of the head of the Banlao village and the captain of the commando Kun Shan was very anxious, this is the first counterattack since the youth and Zhuang of the surrounding three counties united to form the self-defense force, if it is messed up, it will not only affect the reputation of Kunshan himself and the Banlao Dazhai, but also affect the confidence of the fathers and villagers of Cangyuan, Gengma, and Shuangjiang counties to resist the Anglo-Burmese army, and Kunshan, who is known as the first warrior of the Kawa tribe, really can't afford to lose this person.

"Old Wei, will the explosives not blow up if they are rained?" Thirty-three-year-old Kun Shan looked at Wei Changhui, deputy captain of the Special Brigade of the Southern Yunnan Garrison.

Wei Changhui glanced at Kun Shan: "Didn't the instructor of the blasting team already demonstrate it a few days ago?" The explosives package made by our An Jiajun, you can soak it in the water, and two years ago we used this to blow up several boats in small Japan, so scared that they no longer dared to enter the mouth of the Yangtze River. ”

"Hey, hey! It's me who is in a hurry......" Kunshan smiled embarrassedly.

Wei Changhui was wearing a Kawa costume, and like the brothers in the eight-person instructor group, he was very unaccustomed to it, and after answering Kunshan's words, Wei Changhui tightened the belt of his trousers tied with a cotton rope again, and his bearded face was full of helplessness, which amused a few brothers on the side at once.

A month and a half ago, Wei Changhui was ordered to lead a team of eight instructors to Banlao to serve as the chief instructor of the Kawa Self-Defense Force commando.

I don't know if the garrison commander Dai Zhengliang intentionally or unintentionally, quietly revealed to several leaders of the Kawa tribe that Wei Changhui cut off the head of the British ** official, Wei Changhui immediately became the object of reverence of the Kawa people who worship heroes, plus in the dozens of days as an instructor, whether it is fighting or drinking, the young and strong of the Kawa tribe can't do Wei Changhui, who doesn't talk much, Wei Changhui taught the commando several sets of extremely exquisite and practical detachment tactics, but also made him a young and strong cow of the Kawa tribe, and now everyone has great respect for Wei Changhui.

Kun Shan's assistant, is the first warrior of Meng Lian Xia Pawa Dazhai Kunda, thanks to the good relationship between Xia Pawa Dazhai and the An Jia Army, Kunda from the beginning of October last year, with more than 100 brothers from Meng Lian Zhai into the garrison headquarters teaching team, at the end of the year the Kawa people could not bear the humiliation and plunder of the British and Burmese army, formed the three counties self-defense army, Kunda and more than 100 brothers and his more than 100 brothers were naturally transferred into their own national army. The leaders of the self-defense forces are all Kawa village leaders, and only the leaders are Kunshan and Kunda, the later generations of real generals.

Wei Changhui is an iron man with clear grievances, in his eyes, there is nothing to scruple in the world, as long as the goal can be achieved, it is the best way and result, many times, he simply does not pay attention to any ethnic customs, let alone hesitate because of the sudden change in the weather, on the contrary, he thinks that it is more advantageous to carry out operations in the rainy night, even the Kawa people who live here have so many concerns, and believe that the Anglo-Burmese troops guarding the mining area and border road checkpoints will also complain.

Another favorable factor was that although the Anglo-Burmese coalition forces had not organized large-scale mining of silver mines in the recent period, the retreat of the Kawa people had paralyzed the Anglo-Burmese forces. In the first few days, for the sake of their own lives, everyone could maintain a high degree of vigilance for the sake of their own lives, but for a long time, it slowly became paralyzing, especially on such a stormy night, when it was difficult to even walk, let alone launch a large-scale military operation. Therefore, it is estimated that the Anglo-Burmese army has even saved the sentry posts that should be deployed on weekdays.

The rain in southern Yunnan has always come and gone quickly, but it is difficult to encounter such a continuous and continuous rain like tonight, which is enough to make people feel slack.

"Kunshan, can your brother walk at night when it rains?" Wei Changhui asked as usual.

Kun Shan suddenly looked at him angrily: "Old Wei, what are you talking about?" Look down on us kava? ”

Wei Changhui shook his head calmly: "It's not a question of who you can't look down on, but whether your actions will be inconvenient to move and delay time or even seriously affect your combat effectiveness because of this heavy rain." There is a company of the Burmese army in the entire mining area, plus two checkpoints, and we need to deal with 180 people with 50 people. ”

Kunshan's face looked much better, and he replied affirmatively: "Although we Kawa people rarely travel in rainy days, the warriors here today are all selected from various villages, and this wind and rain is nothing at all." Let's say, Lao Wei, we promise that it will not affect the smooth progress of the operation. ”

Wei Changhui nodded: "Okay, since that's the case, then I'll assign the task." Kunda ......"

"Here!"

Kunda already has a military habit.

Wei Changhui pointed to the map and gave a low command, Kunda nodded again and again to say that there was no problem, and then Wei Changhui assigned a task to Kunshan, Kunshan accepted it happily, and finally asked what to do with the captive?

Wei Changhui suddenly looked at Kun Shan in surprise, and asked Kun Shan for a while: When did you Kawa people keep prisoners?

Kun Shan smiled knowingly, turned around and went out, Wei Changhui sat down, took out rubber-soled shoes from behind his waist, and put them on his feet full of mud. No matter how brave and good he is, there is one thing that is not as good as the Kawa warriors, that is, no matter how cold and muddy it is, the Kawa people fly over the mountains and mountains with a pair of bare feet, and Wei Changhui can't do it no matter how big his ability is.

In the middle of the night, two violent explosions sounded from the border river, two improvised wooden bridges and more than a dozen Burmese army sentries were wiped out in the smoke of gunpowder, and then a series of violent explosions were heard from the depths of the mining area, and the flames that soared into the sky tore through the sky shrouded in the rainy night.

On February 22, 1934, on the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year, Nanchang set camp.

As soon as Chiang Kai-shek got up, he received a letter of protest from the British in Nanjing, and he couldn't help but be startled, and immediately ordered his attendants to summon An Yi urgently. The news that more than a dozen British ** officers and more than 100 Burmese soldiers guarding the Lufang mining area were mercilessly slaughtered, and that two small bridges and all the mine pits were blown up is definitely not a trivial matter. Chiang Kai-shek's first thought was what An Jiajun did, and only An Jiajun would come up with this kind of "everyone is not too young" trick.

However, when Deng Wenyi rushed to An Yi's private room on the sixth floor of the Jiangnan Hotel, there was no one to see, and he asked a few guards who stayed behind, but he didn't know where An Yi went. Deng Wenyi was anxious, Zhu Peide's door opened, and Zhu Peide, who came out for a walk in a long robe, saw Deng Wenyi, was stunned for a moment, and then asked Deng Wenyi what was the matter?

Deng Wenyi smiled bitterly and said that the chairman of the committee was invited, but he couldn't find An Yi's person, and he didn't know where the kid had gone so early.

Zhu Peide laughed: "You are asking the right person this, last night the commanders and commanders who commanded the various anti-bandit armies gathered in the camp to report to the chairman of the committee, and at the same time attended today's meeting as observers. Jiang Mingsan, Chen Cixiu, and Gu Mosan came to find An Yi after meeting the chairman of the committee, and without saying a word, they went to the Jiangnan nightclub, probably drunk there. Speaking of this, Zhu Peide was very strange: "By the way, what happened?" The chairman of the NPC committee had a late rest last night when he met with military and political officials from all walks of life, and he was anxious to find An Yi early this morning, and there must be something important going on. ”

Deng Wenyi said with a wry smile: "Last night, there was a big explosion in the furnace mining area in southern Yunnan, and many British officers and Burmese officers and soldiers died. ”

When Zhu Peide heard this, his face became extremely serious: "It shouldn't be An Yi and his subordinates." Yesterday, I discussed the situation in Yunnan and Burma with him, and he said that he would abide by the requirements of the commission and not act rashly, and I had a very hard fight with him for this. If An Yi had done it, the British would not have died so much. ”

When Deng Wenyi heard it, it was really like that, but he didn't dare to make up his mind for the chairman, so he said goodbye to Zhu Peide with a smile, and then rushed to the Jiangnan nightclub.

At the door of the nightclub, Deng Wenyi happened to meet An Yi and Jiang Dingwen and others who staggered out with their shoulders on their backs, Deng Wenyi hurriedly greeted them, and after saluting everyone, he conveyed Chiang Kai-shek's order, and at the same time whispered a brief explanation to An Yi about the explosion in the furnace room mining area in southern Yunnan and the suspicion of the chairman.

An Yi was very surprised: "I and my third brother Ming were drunk last night, where do you have the time and energy to command this kind of petty explosion?" I guess it's the result of the revenge of the Kawa people...... I'll rush back to the hotel now, and now it's like this, it's not easy to go to see the commissioner, the clothes are not neat and full of alcohol, and it is estimated that before I speak, I will provoke the commissioner to get angry. Now that the central government is vigorously promoting the 'New Life Movement', I don't want to be set up as a bad example. ”

Deng Wenyi nodded, saying that he would go back to report to Chiang Kai-shek and help say a few good words, and then bid farewell to Jiang Dingwen and Chen Cheng with a smile.
