For General Masuda Tomikawa, today is really a very unlucky day.
The devastating blow suffered by the Sakamoto Aviation Group during the day was enough to make him angry. At night, because he had just received a telegram from Yamamoto Isoroku, he learned that the headquarters had sent the aircraft carriers Ryujo and Hosho over.
, he was breathing a sigh of relief when the supreme commander of the Thai Army, Marshal Sarit, suddenly called - there were about a brigade of Thai troops stationed in Lanluga City, and fierce gunfire suddenly rang out from the direction of the prisoner of war camp.
The Thai army brigade commander did not know the truth and thought that the Japanese were shooting prisoners of war, so he immediately reported it to the Thai military's high command. The Thai military officer on duty realized that the situation was serious and did not dare to take action, so he immediately transferred the call to Sarit.
Sarit was shocked when he heard this. He felt that if these more than 10,000 British prisoners of war were killed, the Thai military would definitely be responsible, so he unkindly called Masuda and asked him to immediately order to stop the barbaric behavior of his men.
At first, Masuda thought it was Kudo taking out the prisoners in revenge for the killing of the two Imperial soldiers, so he didn't take it too seriously. He made a promise to Sarit and promised to handle the matter properly. After hanging up the phone
He asked his telecommunications officer to connect the phone to the prisoner of war camp.
The telephone line that kept the prisoner of war camp in contact with the outside world had long been cut off by Lei Tianwei and the others. How could the phone be connected? During the day, the shadow of the conspiracy against the Sakamoto Aviation Group passed through Masuda's mind, and the old Japanese felt extremely bad.
I immediately called Sarit and told him that the phone number in the prisoner of war camp could not be reached and asked him to send the garrison of Lanluga to find out what happened.
For the sake of the imperial army's face, the old Japanese did not express his worries. Sha Lilong would not think of anything else, so he asked the brigade commander to send a few people to take a look.
The brigade commander carried it out to the letter, but the result was tragic. While the Tai soldiers riding three attack vehicles to the prisoner of war camp were still on the way, the prisoner of war camp had already changed hands - because the unarmed prisoners of war were attacked at the last moment.
The guards slaughtered the prisoners, and the enraged prisoners not only killed all the Japanese, but also became unprecedentedly united.
Nine Thai soldiers surrendered, and a very real question was placed in front of the British. Now that the Japanese and Thai military have noticed it, what should they do next? The Japanese and Thai soldiers have become the de facto commander-in-chief of the British prisoners of war.
Major Willie Jones convened a meeting of officers. He first pointed out based on his own experience that breaking out from the west was an act of trying to escape from the enemy's mouth. Then, under everyone's worried gaze, he pointed at Lei Tianwei, who was standing in a dark corner outside the fence.
Others said: "Now, we can only ask the Chinese for help!"
"Major, do you mean to break out to the east?" a major general named Dulan asked.
"Yes. Gentlemen, you should know that if it weren't for the help of the Chinese tonight, I would have met God at this moment. And sooner or later, you will die on the shooting range where the Japanese train new recruits -"
"Major Willie, you escaped from the Singapore prisoner of war camp. What happened there? Is it worth taking such a big risk?" asked a colonel named Heili.
The British prisoners of war held in the Lanluga Prisoner of War Camp all belong to the same army and belong to the same system. Compared to their collective, Willy is actually an outsider. Willy's identity and origin are no longer a secret, and many people
I don’t understand why he had to risk his life to escape from the Singapore prisoner of war camp when he was fine. When Heili asked, everyone looked at Willy with an inquiring look.
The British were not of one mind, or it should be said that not everyone had the courage to risk their lives and participate in the riots. Therefore, even though they had gained freedom at this moment, many people were still uneasy and even thought that Willy had harmed them.
Forced to recall his experience at the Xiongfeng Training Base in Singapore, Willy's face showed a painful expression. He pondered for a few seconds and felt that if he didn't tell his own experience, it wouldn't be enough to dispel everyone's illusions about the Japanese.
He opened his mouth slowly and truthfully told what he saw and heard.
As he told it, all the British were stunned. Major General Duran crossed himself on his chest from time to time, and Heili took a breath from time to time...
The British were still undecided, and Lei Tianwei became impatient. He said to Song Yuanzhuang: "What are the British doing? Are they still planning to fight with the little devils?"
Song Yuanzhuang threw away the cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath, and said lazily: "What are you worried about? In the current situation, they have no other way out except following the route we set. Xiao
Ray, how about a bet? I bet the Brits will be begging us within five minutes."
"Come on! What's the point of this bet? It's coming, it's coming!"
Willie was in front, and the others were behind. A group of British officers walked towards Lei Tianwei and Song Yuanzhuang. As they approached, Willie raised his hands to salute them and said: "Thank you again, our savior. Two gentlemen,
There is an old proverb in your country - save people to the end, and send Buddha to the west. You have rescued us from the Japanese, so please do your best and help bring us out safely!"
Willy did not play tricks and put forward his request straight to the point, which is exactly the way a soldier talks about things. Song Yuanzhuang's English is better than Lei Tianwei's, and he said in a straightforward manner: "No problem, but I have a request.
"
"Speaking."
"Since we can liberate you from the Japanese, we are naturally capable of taking most of you out safely. However, in order to minimize casualties, you must completely listen to us!"
"Are you asking for command authority? No problem, I can grant it to you."
"Well, I think the team has finished gathering. Without further ado, let's set off immediately."
"Yes! Sir, what should I call you?"
"My surname is Song, and this is my partner, Second Lieutenant Lei."
"Second Lieutenant Song, Second Lieutenant Lei!" Willy said a military salute to Song Yuanzhuang and Lei Tianwei seriously, then turned to the others and said: "You have heard this, gather the team immediately and set off with the two officers!"
When Lei Tianwei and Song Yuanzhuang first decided to rescue British prisoners of war, their plan was just to use their power to cause trouble to the Japanese and Thai military in the hinterland of Thailand. However, after receiving a telegram from Lu Zhibai during the day, they judged that
Chu Tiange's First Army had already captured Rayong Mansion, and the two men's thoughts changed.
Lei Tianwei's original words were: "The commander-in-chief said that sooner or later everyone in our Langya will be general material and can stand alone. This is a ready-made internship opportunity!"
Song Yuanzhuang was even more straightforward: "Look at what the commander-in-chief wants, this time he wants to go straight to Huanglong! Then we might as well take over Lanluga. There is an armory in Lanluga, which is enough for us to arm the British.
Once Lanluga is captured by us, it will be equivalent to driving a nail into the hinterland of Thailand. If the Thai devils and Japanese devils want to remove our nail first, then our army will have many choices - to achieve this
In this step, the biggest problem is how to make the British people obey!"
The British took the initiative to hand over the command, and the biggest problem was solved. Lei Tianwei and Song Yuanzhuang were more confident, and the plan to sneak attack Lanlujia was launched as expected.
