Chapter 1582
Under the light of a pile of embers ignited by the explosion, Xiao Yi, dressed as a British soldier, stood in front of Chen Zilin and the others, looking squarely at Chen Zilin with a smile on his face.

Chen Zilin and the others looked at each other, with excitement and doubt in their eyes.Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia are no strangers to the term Xuebing Army, especially in the past two years, because most of the money raised by the "Malayan Singapore Overseas Chinese Raising Relief for Wounded Soldiers and Refugees in the Motherland Committee" was transferred to the Chongqing government through the Xuebing Military Government. Yes, the term "Xue Bingjun" spread rapidly among overseas Chinese in Malaya and Singapore. As long as they are not nerds who stay behind closed doors all day, most of them know that such an anti-Japanese armed force is active in Guangzhou and its surrounding areas.

"I know Xue Bingjun, but why did you appear here?" Chen Zilin asked.

Xiao Yi: "We came from Vietnam. At the request of the French Indochina Federation, our cadet army organized an expeditionary force. Our commander-in-chief thought of the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia, and was worried about the safety of our compatriots, so we sent us to contact you. Company Commander Chen, Can you show me your ID?"

"Has the student army arrived in Vietnam?" The news made the volunteers very excited.Chen Zilin glanced at the Japanese army's positions, and confirmed that all these devils died at the hands of the soldiers who suddenly appeared, and he took out his ID card and handed it to Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi took out a small-caliber flashlight from his waist, checked his ID, handed it to Chen Zilin, then put his thumb in his mouth and whistled.He said to Chen Zilin, "We still have people."

Under the astonished eyes of Chen Zilin and other volunteer soldiers, Cui Lin and the others slowly stood up from their hiding places.

Chen Zilin took off his hat, scratched his head, and said, "From the beginning, I wondered who killed the Japanese soldiers on the mountain, so it was you."

Cui Lin and others came over.Xiao Yi introduced the two sides, Cui Lin held Chen Zilin's hand and said: "Company Commander Chen, great job! I can see that although the brothers lacked training, they fought very bravely, much better than those British guys .”

Chen Zilin's tone was a bit sad: "We really lack training, otherwise we wouldn't have killed so many brothers. British life is precious, and besides, they don't regard Xingzhou as a land that must be guarded. We are different, our home is In Xingzhou, in order to protect Xingzhou, we have no other choice." After saying this, he remembered something, and asked, "Captain Cui, when will the expeditionary army of the Xuebing Army be able to come?"

Chen Zilin obviously misunderstood what Xiao Yi said just now, that's why he asked such a question.Cui Lin couldn't answer this question. He thought for a while and said, "Company Commander Chen, you've flattered me. I, a captain, have no right to know about such things. Just now I heard that the Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese established the Xinghua Volunteer Army. Can you elaborate more?" ?"

Chen Zilin narrated the origin and establishment of the Xinghua Volunteer Army in detail, and Cui Lin frowned before hearing a few words.Out of politeness, he waited for Chen Zilin to finish his speech before expressing doubts: "I didn't expect that the Xinghua Volunteer Army was established at the request of the British. Company Commander Chen, the British have no good intentions!"

"Captain Cui, what do you mean? We joined the Volunteer Army voluntarily and were not coerced."

"No, I don't mean this. Company Commander Chen, have you thought about it? As far as the regular army strength in the British Straits Settlements is concerned, whether or not you have volunteers is actually irrelevant to the overall situation."

"Captain Cui, I don't like to hear what you say. Although we are only militia, we have courage and passion—" Yue Lin on the side suddenly said.

Cui Lin quickly waved his hands and explained: "You misunderstood me. I didn't mean to belittle the volunteer army. I just thought that the British did this with ulterior motives. According to the information we have, the British have assembled a total of about 13 people in Singapore. There are still about 3000 troops in Negeri Sembilan. These are regular troops with excellent weapons and equipment and higher training levels than yours. Think about it, if the [-] regular troops cannot withstand the Japanese attack, you will have [-] more Can people work? What the British did was clearly to tie the Singaporean and Malaysian Chinese to their chariots. Hey, I now understand why the commander-in-chief sent us here in such a hurry. It turned out that he had expected When it comes to the British, they will resort to such despicable means."

The Xinghua Volunteer Army was successfully established, and Tan Kah Kee, a well-known overseas Chinese leader in Singapore, played a vital role in his appeal among overseas Chinese.Tan Kah Kee had to do this as a last resort, after all, Sin Chew was still ruled by the British at this time; moreover, because of the relationship with the motherland, the Chinese and the Japanese army were sworn enemies.It is no secret that Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia raised funds to support China's anti-Japanese cause.It is conceivable that once the Japanese army captures Singapore and Malaysia, it will inevitably retaliate against the Chinese and overseas Chinese.All of the above, it seems that no Chinese should avoid this British-Japanese duel.So even though he knew that the British proposal to form a volunteer army might be a trap, Tan Kah Kee could only choose to lead the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia to jump bravely.

Yue Lin and the others are not in the state to comprehend and spend time thinking about these inside stories that are not on the table. Chen Zilin has heard a little bit about it, but as far as he understands, the family is almost gone, so why are you thinking about it?It is serious to fight directly with the Japanese.

What Cui Lin said was a new topic for Yue Lin and others, and made them understand the sinister intentions of the British. For Chen Zilin, it pierced the window paper to hide their shame, which would greatly weaken the troops morale, and may even cause mutiny.

Yes, the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia and the authorities in the Straits Settlements of the United Kingdom now have a common enemy, and there are enough reasons to fight side by side, but this does not mean that there are no conflicts between the two sides, nor does it mean that the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia should forget what they have suffered before. bullying.

Chen Zilin: "Captain Cui, you are too serious. The British may have the idea of ​​using us, but this is our own needs first. Our home and relatives are all in Xingzhou! The Chinese are not stupid. All the time, we're just doing our best to take control of our own destiny right now."

Cui Lin smiled: "I don't mean anything else. I understand your situation. Because of this, I admire you all the more. It is not easy for you to gain a foothold in Nanyang and make a fortune, but even so, you have not forgotten The motherland is in dire straits. It is conceivable how many overseas Chinese have sweated and sweated for that penny and dime! Company Commander Chen, I have a request, can you introduce the commander and deputy commander of the Volunteer Army for me?"

Chen Zilin nodded and said: "No problem." Then asked: "Now?"

"The sooner the better!"

"Okay! Yue Lin, I'll leave this place to you guys. Repair the position. If the Japanese attack, defend it if you can. If you can't defend it, retreat!"

Yue Lin: "Yes!"

Chen Zilin made a brief explanation, and took Cui Lin and the others straight to Bukit Timah, where the headquarters of the Xinghua Volunteer Army is located overnight.
