Lost and Spy

Chapter 1963 Keeping on your behalf
On March 1942, 3, the British and Burmese troops fled Rangoon hastily without resistance.

Yangon has fallen!

Same ancient times, face the Japanese army!
The morale of the First Division of the British Burmese Army stationed in Tonggu was low and they did not want to fight at all.

On March 3, Alexander succeeded Hutton as the commander-in-chief of the British Burmese Army.

Alexander's first order after taking office was to the First Division:

All the defense of Tonggu was handed over to the Chinese Expeditionary Force, and the first division was preparing to withdraw from Tonggu and withdraw to Promey.

The British decided to give up Tonggu.

This was already expected by the Chinese Expeditionary Force.

Now, they only need the cooperation of the British troops on the western front to ensure the safety of the supply line.

Under Meng Shaoyuan's fight, Scott kept a large amount of supplies and some medicines from the First Division.

Ammunition, however, is a big problem.

Therefore, the unobstructed supply line means that Tonggu can get the supply of ammunition and the timely arrival of reinforcements!
"Don't count on the British."

At the military meeting held by Dai Anlan, Meng Shaoyuan said categorically: "The British will never cooperate. Even our supply lines will be cut off. Tonggu will face the situation of fighting alone!"

All the officers present here are higher than Meng Shaoyuan. Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to him.

"Your information is accurate?" Zhou Zhi frowned again: "Although the British army has suffered repeated defeats, the British army on the western front still has a strong force, so they can't even defend the supply line?"

"It's not that I can't defend it, but I can't defend it!" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "There are constantly defeated British troops evacuating from the Pew River Bridge. It is a waste to give them those weapons and ammunition. But we need it, and we can't take our lives and the little ones." Japanese fight?
What will happen to the other troops, I don't know, but I have already issued an order to the advance battalion. Those who pass the Pew River Bridge must pay me tolls. What is a toll?Weapons and ammunition, pay and leave! "

The officers of the 200th Division looked at each other in blank dismay.

The deputy commander, Peng Bisheng, couldn't help asking: "Will the British hand it over to you so honestly?"

"Of course not. How can these British gentlemen be so obedient?" Meng Shaoyuan said unhurriedly: "But they have to pay if they pay, or they have to pay if they don't. Honestly pay, get out. If you don't want to pay? Don't I? Will you grab it?"

Hey!
What kind of military officer is this?

The British dare to grab it!
Dai Anlan quickly coughed a few times: "Well, Meng Shao was joking, you don't have to take it seriously."

……

Pew River Bridge.

More than a dozen British soldiers and soldiers from the advance battalion confronted each other with guns!
The sergeant of the British army who led the team looked livid: "We will never put down our weapons."

"Hey, what you're talking about is magnificent." Although Ding Wenrui's English is not fluent, there is no problem with daily conversations:

"If you have the ability, don't run away. If you refuse to put down your weapons, the Japanese will be right behind your ass. Turn your guns and fight them to your death!"

The sergeant was pissed off.

But it is absolutely impossible to get angry and turn around to fight the Japanese.

Ding Wenrui's complexion sank: "Under the order of the Myanmar Sino-British Allied Forces Command, our department will take over Tonggu's defense. All British troops passing by Tonggu must put down their weapons and ammunition. Our department will ensure that your troops pass through Tonggu safely and reach Prome !"

Immediately, he said slowly: "We are allied forces. If you are really unwilling to lay down your arms, our department will not force you. However, our battalion was ordered to defend the Pew River Bridge. In order to ensure the safety of the bridge and Tonggu, avoid Japanese They are mixed among the defeated army. All people passing the Piqiao River Bridge must be carefully checked, and only after the check is completed can they leave."

He glanced at the British sergeant: "The time for this investigation is estimated to be completed in ten days and half a month. You have to forgive us. We are also defending Tonggu and Burma."

what?
Ten days and a half months?
It was occupied by the Japanese long ago.

The British firmly do not believe that the Chinese Expeditionary Force will be the opponent of the Japanese army.

"If you find this troublesome, there is another way."

Ding Wenrui looked considerate: "You can go to Prome by detour, I repeat, we are allies, so I will provide you with drinking water and food!"

Detour?

Where to go?

Send it to the mouth of the Japanese?
The British sergeant was a little embarrassed.

The key problem is that he still has no way to contact his superiors.

But then again, even if we got in touch, so what?

The superiors are now overwhelmed.

The British are in a hurry, but the Chinese are not.

Ding Wenrui smiled: "You take your time to figure out what to do, I will wait for you there."

As he said that, his face darkened: "If you dare to forcibly attack, it will be regarded as an attack on our expeditionary force, and you will fight back immediately!"

With an order, the safety of the weapon was pulled.

"and many more!"

Seeing that the Chinese officer was about to leave, the British sergeant hurriedly stopped him: "Our department has been fighting the Japanese army for a long time. The soldiers are exhausted and it is inconvenient to carry weapons and ammunition. Therefore, I will temporarily leave it to your department for safekeeping. However, you must issue me A proof."

I rely on!

This British man is not a donkey!
Can you come up with such a fresh and refined excuse?

"of course can."

Ding Wenrui also didn't want to make extra troubles, so he agreed without hesitation.

Hand over weapons and ammunition here, and issue certificates there.

It is "custodial on behalf of"!
Ding Wenrui was really convinced.

Everything is within the commander's calculations.

Meng Shaoyuan had already said to Ding Wenrui that he had to be tougher with these British people.

"Now that the British are busy fleeing for their lives, they don't care about the face of the British Empire." Meng Shaoyuan told Ding Wenrui sarcastically, "Just follow what I told you, be tough but also be polite.

Allies, allies, understand each other.I guess, they are eager to flee for their lives and will not confront you for a long time. Maybe, according to the pissing nature of the British, they will find a high-sounding excuse to promise them these insignificant things! "

It's comfortable to follow this officer!

He can catch bullets empty-handed, and he can figure out what the British are thinking.

……

"Master, sir, let me tell you something."

As soon as the military meeting ended, Liu Shuren, the head of the 599 regiment, stopped Dai Anlan.

"Say."

"Well, didn't Meng Shaoyuan be appointed by you as the attached and instructor of my 599 regiment?" Willow said with a smile: "The war is imminent, and my 599 regiment is in the midst of employing people. How about you return this person to me?"

"What? Give it back to you?"

"That's right, I'm a member of the 599th regiment, that's returning to the team." Willow said confidently: "I think this kid is a good guy, and he suits my appetite. I take it back, it's only right and proper."

"You haven't woken up yet, Willowman." Dai Anlan glared: "You really regard him as yours? I appointed him, and he stayed in the advance battalion. Without my order, he would not be anywhere." Go!"

"You are being unreasonable."

The willow man muttered: "No, yes, this kid's method is good, I thought, I have to do the same!"
