Chapter 589: You're Coming to Rob My Colony?

After receiving the ammunition, the British came, and it was the commander of the British army, General Waver. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Admiral Wavell saw Xiaolu, he was even exempted from greetings, and said, "What are you communists going to do in Burma?" What are you Chinese troops going to do? Do you want to rob our colonies? "The colonizers have made the same old mistakes. No wonder the Chinese, in the eyes of the colonizers, are the characters who are enslaved by the colonization.

Xiao Lu said: "Admiral, what do you mean by this?" "Xiaolu decided not to lose either man or battle. The British were not the protagonists in the Indo-Burmese battlefield in the Great Southwest, and Xiaolu's policy this time was to have good relations with the Americans, and good relations with the expeditionary force, so that his guerrillas could cooperate well with them.

Wavell said: "What is the purpose of sending officers to Burma when you are far away in Manchuria?" Isn't it a robbery of the colonies? ”

Xiaolu said: "General, you are far away in England, but you are coming to India, what does this mean?" ”

Wavell was suddenly caught up in his own logic. However, he was very scheming and cheeky, and said: "Burma is our colony, and you are not allowed to get involved." ”

Xiaolu said: "Burma is now in the hands of the Japanese, and you should tell the Japanese about this." You shouldn't have told me. The purpose of my people is to fight the Japanese. Second, the people in the areas where the guerrillas are active do not like you, nor do they like the Japanese, and they have the freedom to decide where they belong. Moreover, this enclave in northern Burma was Chinese before it became your colony. ”

"Burma is our colony, and this is non-negotiable. ”

Xiaolu said: "Do you know why the local people are not against the Japanese? Previously, it was you British who they were against. In their eyes, you are the same as the Japanese. That is why General Aung San took refuge with the Japanese. Think about it, could the Japanese have achieved such a quick victory without the help of the Burmese? Why did you fail? It's because of your unfortunate colonial policy. ”

Wavell still had to distinguish, and said in a small way: "Indians like Japanese very much, do you know?" ”

These few words hit the nail on the head. Wavell stopped talking.

Xiaolu said: "What makes you happy is that the Chinese like the British very much. You see, the Chinese dragged millions of Japanese troops. If we do not fight with the Japanese, then, according to the plan of the Japanese, the whole of India will be occupied by the Japanese. In order to keep this crown diamond, I know that you are willing to cooperate better with the Chinese. ”

Wavell: "Did the Japanese have a plan to annex India?" Apparently, this incident caught his attention.

Koji said: "We have a Japanese channel. Wait a minute, I can give you a piece of information. ”

Wavell: "Great. "The attitude is less arrogant.

"I don't think it's the right time to talk about it. The guerrillas in northern Burma are our allies. We must fight side by side with the Allies. ”

Xiao Lu said: "General, I very much agree with General Stilwell. If you can change your attitude, I can call the guerrillas to cooperate with your jungle warfare school. ”

Wavell was taken aback and said, "You know everything. "The jungle combat school is classified, it is made up of secret personnel of the British fighting behind enemy lines, the Americans know something, the Chinese do not know at all.

Xiaolu said: "Your people did not have the protection of the guerrillas, and they would have been sold to the Japanese by the people of Aung San a long time ago." In the jungle, nothing can be hidden from the natives. You should thank me, because it was my people who persuaded the guerrillas, otherwise, they would not have protected your people. Admiral, think about the issue of cooperation. ”

Xiaolu was unkind to the British, and it spread among the Chinese garrison in India.

Everyone in the expeditionary force breathed a bad breath, because the British army did not cooperate with the Chinese army and suffered a great loss. Xiaolu didn't believe that they were too weak in battle, they just wanted the Chinese to be cannon fodder.

The people of the expeditionary force are interesting. Ordinary soldiers are grateful to the Americans, because the Americans bypassed the officers, paid them directly to their hands, gave them good food, clothing, medical treatment, and training military skills, which could save their lives.

However, the officer's idea is complicated. The army of the Republic of China is famous for eating empty salaries. From the company commander level and above, the officers are paid empty salaries. The company commander is very good: small leather shoes, clicking, combing and parting hair, is the company commander. So, without pay, they hate the Americans.

It is even more complicated for senior officers. In addition to losing their financial resources, on the one hand, they are proud of their own combat strength and have more capital in the future, and on the other hand, they are entangled in the question of whose leadership to obey. The Americans now have to lead them directly and sever their superior-subordinate relations with Chongqing.

Xiaolu left the barracks of the Indian army and went to the guerrilla camp dozens of miles away. In addition to the people seen by Xiaolu, there were a thousand people in the secret camp, and they had built bamboo towers and training grounds in just a few days. Opening up a base is their forte.

Today, there are nearly 20,000 Li Wei's guerrillas, of which more than 6,000 are veterans, members of the Northeast Army and the Northwest Army, and student soldiers who joined the army, more than 6,000 are nationalist soldiers who have been taken in, and the remaining 6,000 are native people from Wa, Kokang, and Kachin. Each of these three types of people has their own strengths and complements each other.

To Xiaolu's delight, some of the officers of the Eighth Route Army of the 115th Division had been well integrated into this unit.

The purpose of the trail to the barracks was to see how well the recruits were being trained.

Regarding the training of recruits, Xiao Lu had already repeatedly discussed with Li Wei in the telegram, and Li Wei had already started training for a long time. The trail arrived at the barracks and was ready to be accepted in a few days.

After watching it for a day, Xiaolu felt that the training was not bad, but the jungle combat skills needed to be strengthened. On the basis of the newly acquired American weapons, subjects were added, the syllabus was reorganized, and new training was conducted.

Xiaolu selected a dozen people from the Kachin, Kokang, and Wa people, and asked them to be instructors to teach other warriors the skills of jungle warfare. These people are very proud to have been chosen.

After a few days of training, the level of jungle operations of the entire unit has improved to a certain extent.

Xiao Lu knew that with Li Wei's training for a few months alone, the Kachin people's modern combat level and the jungle combat level of other fighters would not reach a satisfactory level. However, this kind of training is much better than that of the army stationed in India.

Xiaolu's guard squad leader is called Liu Baijie, a student soldier, who was brought back from Beiping after the July Seven Incident in 37. Most of these student soldiers were already battalion commanders, and a small number of them became leaders in various factories.

Because Liu Baijie wanted to be a special combat team, although he was good at guns, he was inferior to others in other aspects, so he entered the special combat training camp and suffered a lot. After the special operations training, because he was willing to use his brain, he excelled in several operations, especially in the plan to scout the former Soviet fortresses occupied by the Japanese army, and found the weaknesses of many fortresses, which provided support for the development of plans for the large army. Xiaolu took him with him and had been training for a long time.

Liu Baijie came to the south this time, in addition to arranging the safety of the path, that is, to learn the tactics of jungle warfare. This time when I went to Li Wei's station, I studied hard.

A few days later, Stilwell and other Allied officers arrived, bringing some food and other baggage.

At this time, the secret camp was further expanded, and there are now four camps here, with more than 10,000 people stationed.

Stilwell and the others saw his troops, and some of the people who doubted the number of the guerrillas stopped talking, and they wanted to see how the guerrillas fought.

Stilwell asked Li Wei if he could fight.

Li Wei also wanted to fight, and asked Xiaolu if he could fight, and Xiaolu asked Li Wei to come up with a plan. Li Wei was obviously prepared and took out the written plan.

Li Wei said: "General Stilwell, let's say okay, two ears for five robbing, see how many Japanese soldiers we can kill." ”

Stilwell was very appreciative of their attitude towards war, and after a few days, the attitude towards the Chinese army actually changed. Listening to Li Wei's request, he agreed with his mouth.

Xiaolu said: "The recruits are first-class in jungle combat, but the awareness of combat cooperation is very poor, so this time the operation is mainly based on recruits, and veterans also participate, the purpose is to win more and less, and there must be no death." ”

Li Wei said: "There is a section of road two hundred miles from the border, and a large group of Japanese troops is stationed in the city of Jiling Temple. We find a way to lure them into the forest, and we can do jungle warfare. The only requirement was for our people to take the Indian train, get off at the nearest station there, and the rest of the way was walking. ”

"As long as we can take the road of a car, we will take care of the transportation," Stilwell said. In addition, I will personally lead the Allied Observers to take a look. How many people are you going? ”

Li Wei said: "Five hundred." ”

Stilwell said, "Is it enough?" ”

Li Wei said: "For guerrilla warfare, 500 people is an appropriate scale. If there is more, it will become a positional war. ”

Stilwell said, "Do you have any Japanese military intelligence in this city?" Why hit this city? ”

Li Wei said: "The natives have provided us with very detailed information. The town was on the border, and for the Japanese army it was inconvenient to transport and there were not many garrisons. In addition, they are not very accustomed to the local climate, and a few and a half of them are sick. ”

Stilwell was secretly surprised by his information. If he had been a few days ago, he might not have believed Li Wei's words. Over the course of a few days, he had come to know the guerrillas and believed in their ability to obtain information. It's just that, how are they capable of fighting?

Liu Baijie, who was standing guard at the door, heard it, and he was very excited. I've been thinking about jungle warfare for a long time. Somehow, the commander-in-chief asked himself to study jungle warfare. Before coming to Myanmar this time, he also asked himself to pay attention to the study of tropical jungle warfare. He analyzed that the commander-in-chief may have intended to send himself to the guerrillas in Burma. Now that you have an answer to the question you've been pondering for a long time, can you not get excited?

No one expected that this time the skirmish, which was supposed to defeat hundreds of Japanese troops, turned into a small battle, and finally killed more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, and a group of Japanese troops who passed by unexpectedly joined the battle. Importantly, the battle deterred the Burmese who had defected to the Japanese army. Shortly thereafter, the Japanese encountered the guerrillas several times, and suffered many casualties.
