Chapter 269: The Merchant of Venice
Merrill spread out the map and assigned the combat missions one by one. The scrivener was given the task of leading the Knife Company to attack the right flank of the airfield on the outskirts of Myitkyina.
The old generation took over the task and held a small meeting for the platoon commanders of the sharp knife company alone to refine the task, Gong Daniu's machine gun platoon broke through, Lu Shuting's 2nd platoon was responsible for covering, responsible for clearing possible pillboxes and other bunkers, and Dong Xuesheng's 1st platoon was supplemented.
Just finished the task, Polgar actually came, which surprised the scrivener, the big war is coming, Polgar should not have the leisure to walk around at will. Her role is to keep Merrill safe, and it stands to reason that she should stay on top of her feet. She must have something very important coming to her at this juncture.
The scrivener consciously followed Polgar to a secluded place.
"Dai, I have something to tell you. Bhasin will die in the upcoming raid, and you, we will announce your death after the battle. Polgar said very directly, without the slightest transition.
“hy?” The scrivener looked suspicious, and Polgar's words brought him not only doubts, but also a chill. Could it be that this old boy is going to do it to himself? But what's in the way of Bhasin? He's going to die too? "Is Haysom doing the trick?" He asked.
Polgar shook her head, she had been looking at her watch, apparently not having much time to explain. "Remember the two special missions you flown out? Sinkhole once, Savage Mountain once. The problem lies in these two missions. You, along with Bhasin and Li Keji, are the only ones alive on two missions. The higher levels do not allow such people to exist, and you must die. Li Keji is estimated to be dead, and the rest is you and Bhasin, and in the next few hours, you and Bhasin must die! Polgar made a shocking announcement.
The scrivener squinted, and his brain flashed all kinds of images of the two missions like a movie, some of which he only knew: ivory bone mountain, mandala flower...... Any set of images will shock the world. He had been suspecting that the motives of the two missions of the high-level organization were not pure, and now it had finally been confirmed. He has always kept it a high degree of secrecy, and has never mentioned it to anyone, but in the end, it still doesn't work, and the higher-ups are now holding the attitude of preferring to kill all the survivors by mistake.
"Okay, that's all I have to say, you get mentally prepared. As soon as the battle is over, we will announce your death, and you will disappear forever from the Chinese army in India, you know? If someone is detected, not only you, but also your men, including us, will be affected. No one will survive. Polgar looked anxious, she really didn't have much time to explain.
A desolation rose from the heart of the scrivener, and he died to perform the task all his life, in exchange for this kind of ending? He suddenly thought of Song Da Tongue, Old Song was really lucky, he was eliminated at the last moment, and he did not participate in the second special mission, so he picked up a life. As an ordinary soldier, can he only be a high-level pawn and a puppet in war? The old generation is not convinced, but so what, nothing can be changed.
"I'm leaving, you prepare well and leave!" Polgar put the word "leaving" very seriously.
"Why did you save me?" The scrivener asked Polgar's back.
Polgar didn't look back, turned his back and said: "Because you are a qualified soldier, if you don't expose Garson today, this sneak attack will be completely ruined." The tide of the war in northern Myanmar will also change dramatically. You are a hero and you don't deserve to die like this. ”
The scrivener is very relieved that there is still a force of justice in the Allied forces. How I wish there would be a little more, a little more of Polgar's kind. The old generation is still thinking about a question, how did Polgar know such an important secret? It is impossible to get access to such an important secret as Polgar. He thought of Rena, thought of Jim, most likely one of them.
Polgar hadn't gone far, but the scrivener didn't want to ask the question anymore, and sometimes it was bad for the other party to make the question too clear, and he couldn't hurt the person who sympathized with him.
Bump, boom, bang, bang, click...... The gunfire erupted from all directions, and at the beginning it was extremely fierce without the slightest transition. The order to attack was finally given from Merrill's mouth, and the general offensive began.
Dawn is approaching. It was a short time and the night was still very thick, and the sentinels were at a point of fatigue after a full night of patrolling, and the night was about to pass when the defenders were at their most relaxed, and at the same time dawn was also the time when people were most likely to be sleepy. All these factors combined to cause the devastation of the Allied forces.
The Japanese soldiers never expected to encounter a sneak attack, the battlefield was hundreds of miles away, separated by the steep Kumang Mountain and the devilish Hukang River Valley, how could the enemy suddenly attack here? When the impossible became possible, the Japanese defenders were taken by surprise.
Gong Da Niu's sharp knife company was like a group of fierce tigers, unstoppable, breaking through the three blockade lines in one breath and reaching the hinterland of the airport. Other Allied detachments also won successively, breaking through the perimeter into Myitkyina airfield.
The Japanese troops guarding the Myitkyina airfield numbered just over 100 men, and they were almost completely annihilated by the Allied surprise attack.
The radio waves of the "Merchant of Venice, Merchant of Venice ......" radio reached the Allied headquarters, which was the code, which meant that Myitkyina Airport had been controlled by the Allied forces!
Allied warplanes hovering hundreds of miles away swooped over Myitkyina, and the dense Allied warplanes covered the sky over Myitkyina like a swarm of bloodthirsty wasps. Bombs rained down on Myitkyina. The Japanese troops, who were originally going to reinforce the airfield, were forced to burrow into the tunnels and could not move an inch. The Allied forces that raided Myitkyina airfield were given a respite and, after capturing it, quickly built up defenses and firmly occupied the airfield.
Kong Zhaoqiang, Lu Shuting, Little Monkey, Gong Daniu and others looked at the dense Allied planes over Myitkyina, and their hearts were indescribably happy, if the battle was fought like this, little Japan would be able to jump for a few days! "Old generation, how did you succeed!" He happily said to the scrivener beside him.
"yes, we made it." The scrivener muttered.
"What, you have something on your mind?" Kong Zhaoqiang saw that the scrivener box was absent-minded and asked.
"No, I'm happy." The scrivener pretended to be happy. "By the way, I'm going to a meeting at the headquarters in a moment, maybe on a secret mission, and I'll be back in a while. The company was temporarily commanded by Lao Lu. The scrivener said solemnly to everyone.
"On a mission again? And there's more! Is there anything more important than taking Myitkyina? The little monkey was full of grumbling.
"Old generation, you can go with confidence, the task of attacking Myitkyina will be handed over, and I will ensure that it will be completed beautifully." Gong Da Niu is still excited.
The heart of the scrivener is dripping blood, and I hope to fight with these brothers. However, even this minimum wish could not be realized. He had to go, otherwise it would affect the entire Sharp Knife Company, which was more than a hundred living lives! "I'm leaving, take care of yourself, and listen to Lao Lu in everything." He said to the crowd, "Lao Lu, I have handed over the brothers to you, take care of the brothers, and don't be rash. ”
"I know." Lu Shuting replied.
"Bhasin is dead, do you know?" Dong Xuesheng brought a shocking news.
"What? How can it be! Someone exclaimed.
"Really, the corpses are sitting over there, covered in blood."
The scrivener pretended not to hear, and walked away silently, avoiding everyone's gaze, and stepped into the depths of the dense forest alone......
Allied transport planes flew over Myitkyina, and one after another landed at the newly occupied Myitkyina airport, and the reorganized soldiers stepped off the planes in groups. Cannons, ammunition, and all sorts of material resources were pouring in at Myitkyina airport. The Allied forces increased dramatically from one battalion to eight battalions. These soldiers will be the main force in the assault on the city of Myitkyina. At the same time, a large number of troops were parachuted in to provide sufficient supplies for the attack on Myitkyina.
Stilwell solemnly announced to the world that the Allies would occupy Myitkyina Airport before dawn on 17 May. Myitkyina, an important town in northern Burma, was about to fall into Allied hands...... (To be continued.) )
