"Tang, everyone is tired. It's best to rest on the spot first, and then wait for the next order from the headquarters before taking action. ∈♀ Dingfeng Novel," Mike, who came after hearing the news, called Tang Cheng to the side, with a look on his face. There was not much joy. Tang Cheng glanced at Mike in surprise. It was Mike who kept clamoring to show off to the Japanese army a few days ago. It was Mike who kicked him out to fight the Japanese army early this morning. This should be the case. It's time to pursue the victory, but Mike said to stop. Could it be that there are new changes in the headquarters?
Mike did not give an answer to Tang Cheng's question, but emphasized that the action team should not fight fatigue, so Tang Cheng agreed to suspend the operation. Several relatively intact houses were used by Tang Cheng and the others as temporary camps. Although the houses The smell of blood still lingered in the room, but it was better than letting everyone sleep in the wilderness. First, Tang Cheng, who had doubts, couldn't sleep, so he went to find Lanny, who was well-informed. The two discussed for a long time, but they couldn't figure out Mike. What's going on here.
Early the next morning, Mike, who had already rushed to the headquarters, sent a message, asking Tangcheng and the others to continue to stand by and wait for new action orders. Tangcheng was completely confused by Mike's abnormality. Since the big air raid on July 12 After that, the Japanese army in Myitkyina was completely unable to fight back. It was now the end of July, and the final attack was about to begin, but Mike always made some delaying moves.
"Are you crazy? Why did you bring him here? If the headquarters knew that we have such a guy who is interested in money, something might happen." Mike returned from the headquarters at noon. Following him in the car was Cai Jincheng, whom he had not seen for many days. Seeing Cai Jincheng, Tang Cheng immediately understood the reason for Mike's abnormal behavior these days. It must be related to Cai Jincheng, who was standing in front of him with a smile on his face. Can't be separated.
After calling Cai Jincheng and Tang Cheng into his room, Mike told the reason, "Do you still remember the Japanese code book we handed over to the headquarters? The headquarters has already intercepted the Japanese code book sent to Myitkyina. Although the content of the telegram cannot be deciphered for the time being, the Japanese army in Myitkyina has been in frequent contact with the outside world in the past few days. The command headquarters speculates that the Japanese army in Myitkyina may be making big moves. If they continue to attack them, they are fighting. However, at present, the Japanese army can only take the initiative to withdraw from Myitkyina."
Mike only said half of what he wanted to say, and Tangcheng finally understood Mike's intention. Since the Japanese army in Myitkyina has become a drowned dog, there is no need for the action team to risk being bitten by a drowned dog to go to this place. Wading in troubled waters, simply stay out of sight and out of mind and just wait for Myitkyina to be recovered. No need to fight means there will be no casualties. Of course Tangcheng supports such a good thing, but he has not yet understood Cai Jincheng The reason for appearing here.
"Sir Tang, I know you look down on people like me, but I am thinking about the future of my brothers. Do you want to see your brothers continue to live a life of not having enough to eat after they return to China?" Cai Jincheng looked at Tang Cheng with some sadness and self-deprecation, "There are also children in my family who died on the battlefield. Although they are not as skilled as you, they have all killed little Japs. What happened? The government only gave The pension is enough to buy a bag of foreign noodles, but that little money can’t even raise a child.”
This was the first time that Tang Cheng saw Cai Jincheng, who was usually cynical, shed tears. A grown man cried with snot and tears. Tang Cheng didn't feel sad, but just felt a little embarrassed. Anyway, he was
You can't act like this. "The jadeite ore we got back in Xinpingyang last time is not good stuff. It can only be exchanged for tens of thousands of oceans at most. I can only give you 40% of this money. Calculate carefully.
Come on down, Captain Tang, the hundreds of brothers under your command can only get a dozen yuan each. According to the current prices in Kunming, a dozen yuan can be enough for a family of three to live for half a year at most."
Cai Jincheng's subtext is already very clear. The gold-making plan has been carried out so far. Excluding the Cai family's share and Mike and George's shares, not much will actually fall into the hands of Tang Cheng. According to Cai Jincheng, if Tang Cheng
The city has now terminated its gold-making plan, and all it can distribute to its brothers is only a dozen yuan each. This amount of money can cover their expenses for at most half a year. Half a year later, a life of poverty is still waiting for them.
"Tang, Cai's suggestion is right. The war is about to end. We have to explain to our soldiers that Myitkyina is our last chance." Tang Cheng didn't say anything, so Mike had to take the initiative to speak. "Myitkyina is Myanmar.
The main producing area of jadeite, there are also good timber and even gold mines here. I have convinced the US military observation group to let us stay in Myitkyina for rest and recuperation. George will also be transferred to Myitkyina Airport soon. Now it depends on your attitude.
."
Mike handed the initiative to Tang Cheng, but Tang Cheng didn't feel much excitement. There were many factions in the expeditionary force, and there were many people with more background and strength than them, who wanted to steal food from those big guys.
, you have to think about the consequences of offending others first. Wealth is in danger. Since Mike has arranged everything, it is impossible for Tang Cheng to stop Mike and Cai Jincheng. Helpless, Tang Cheng finally clicked.
Then Mike and Cai Jincheng started laughing.
Tangcheng agreed to Mike's plan. In the next few days, George was successfully transferred to Myitkyina. Huang Hanju, who had been staying in Xinpingyang, also drove to Myitkyina with the recovered soldiers from his direct company to join the operation.
The number of the team suddenly increased from more than 100 to 200. In the last few days of late July, the expeditionary force that besieged Myitkyina exchanged fire with the Japanese army several times. The Japanese garrison in Myitkyina was on the verge of desperation at this time. Although the Japanese army did
They tried their best to resist, but the battle situation was completely controlled by the expeditionary force.
At this time, if the Japanese army retreats and defends the east bank of the Irrawaddy River, it will be their last chance to survive. Minami Genzo, who commanded the Japanese army, finally acquiesced to this suggestion and immediately ordered the withdrawal to begin on August 1, in batches on the 1st and 2nd.
On the night of the 3rd, they carried out the crossing of the river. After the Japanese troops successfully crossed the river as planned, they gathered in the tropical jungle one after another. The number of surviving Japanese soldiers had been reduced to about 800. Genzo Minamizu planned his own retreat and crossed the river.
Without being discovered by the expeditionary force, they organized a large number of wounded soldiers to actively launch attacks and sneak attacks on the expeditionary force's defense lines. In just three days from August 1 to the early morning of August 3, the Japanese army in Myitkyina launched ten attacks on the expeditionary force's positions.
They took the initiative to attack several times. Many of the Japanese soldiers, knowing that they had no hope of survival, asked their superior officers for grenades or explosives, trying to use suicide bombs to kill the soldiers of the expeditionary force who were fighting them.
I have to admit that Genzo Mizukami was very good at this move. Although the expeditionary force had deduced in advance that the Japanese army in Myitkyina might take the initiative to retreat, the Japanese army in front of them suddenly took the initiative to attack with great momentum. The expeditionary force did not see through the opponent at first.
The true intention. When it was discovered that the Japanese troops in Myitkyina were secretly withdrawing their troops, it was already in the early morning of August 4. Although the troops deployed by the expeditionary force in the forward position immediately launched an attack, they were still resisted by the Japanese troops desperately.
It also enabled about 800 Japanese troops to successfully cross the Irrawaddy River and escape.
Tangcheng's action team did not participate in the last few days of fighting. The few houses they captured became the headquarters of the action team. Tangcheng and the others had been secretly discussing all day long to wait for Myitkyina to be recovered before taking action.
The new station that the team wanted to obtain. At noon on August 4, the last plaster flag in the urban area of Myitkyina was slowly lowered, replaced by the British Union Jack flag and the Japanese blue sky and white sun flag. This also heralded that Myitkyina had already
Successfully recovered.
It is easy to enjoy the shade against a big tree. Tangcheng has never doubted this. The joint forces have besieged Myitkyina for many days, and all the soldiers participating in the battle have been exhausted to the extreme. Under such circumstances, Stilwell had to order all the troops participating in the battle.
They temporarily took a short rest in Myitkyina. Relying on Mike's relationship with the US military observation group, the action team finally secured its own new location. However, this new location was carefully inspected by Cai Jincheng and his people. It is said that
There is an emerald vein in the river not far from the new station, and it is not very far from Myitkyina Airport.
With the station, everything would be much easier to handle. Tang Cheng and Mike did not even participate in the US military's spoils-sharing operation in the urban area of Myitkyina, and quietly led the action team to their new station. Tang Cheng
Cheng and Mike had privately deduced the approximate time when the war in Myanmar would end. If the joint forces could maintain their current combat effectiveness and status, they might be able to eliminate Japanese troops throughout Myanmar in half a year.
Stay in Myitkyina, and then make as much money as possible within half a year. This is Mike's suggestion, and it is also a suggestion that Tangcheng cannot refuse, because Mike has already convinced Huang Hanju and Hu San. No one expects Japan to surrender now
, but whether it is the Burmese battlefield or the domestic battlefield, the advantage held by the Japanese army is dissipating little by little, especially the Japanese army in the Pacific battlefield has already fallen into adversity.
Those who can stay in the action team include Lanni and the other American soldiers, who are all veterans who have survived brutal battles. A large part of them have lost interest in the war, especially now that the defeat of the Japanese army has become apparent. Veterans
They had to think about their future lives in advance. Mike and Cai Jincheng had captured the psychology of the veterans and were able to convince all the soldiers in the action team so easily. If Tang Cheng wanted to prevent the continuation of this plan, he would
He has to face the questioning of all the soldiers in the action team.
"I'm being forced by you. If something happens then, you can't think of pushing me out to take the blame. Anyway, I won't admit it then." The helpless Tangcheng arrived at his new residence and treated me as such.
After working as the shopkeeper, he took Liu Shitou and Tan Fei around all day long, either hunting in the mountains or fishing in the water. They lived a leisurely life.
