November 22, 1942. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Myanmar, Ji Ling Temple.

The temple is north-west of Mandalay and has an easy road leading to Mandalay. It can be said that this is the only place for the Allied troops to attack Mandalay from Bengal in India, and it is also one of the ways for the Japanese army to advance westward. That's why several families have their eyes on this place.

Jiling Temple is located in the semi-mountainous area at the junction of mountains and plains, and the urban terrain is quite flat, in the shape of a long strip, and there is an airport. There is some farmland in the low-lying areas around the city, and several small rivers flow eastward. On the small hill near the city, you can see the splendid stupas of the city, as well as the spires of the churches.

It seems to be a paradise, and in the distance you can see some locals driving ox carts along the dirt road. Some local-style boats can also be seen on the creek.

The guerrillas arrived here without wading, only climbing mountains. Fortunately, I only walked the mountain road for three days.

It was morning, and it was peaceful because it was a Japanese-occupied area and the locals were very supportive of the Japanese occupation. Although there are Japanese with guns on their backs, it is a peaceful place.

This is true in the traditional colonies.

The spectacle of peace was soon shattered. In the sparse woods northwest of the town, there were two muffled sounds, and two bamboo buildings where Japanese soldiers were stationed in the town exploded. The building was made of bamboo, and the collapsed building apparently did not kill a few people, but it angered the Japanese army.

Is there a resistance here?

At this moment, gunshots were heard in the same woods. The gunfire was sparse, but the Japanese troops in the barracks continued to fall with the gunfire.

Soon, a Japanese squad quickly made a sortie and searched for the woods.

Although it is a suburb of town, there are many trees and grass. No way, this is the tropics, and the mountains to the west are jungles.

Shooting was still being fired in that wood. When the Japanese squad approached the woods, suddenly dozens of guns opened fire together, and dozens of devils were quickly killed.

It was also at this time that all the Japanese troops in the city were organized, and hundreds of Japanese soldiers rushed to the sparse woods.

At this time, dozens of figures stood up from the grass and ran to the west hill in a panic. Soon, the Japanese chased for two kilometers and found that those people had entered the mountains.

The Burmese who led the way said something to the Japanese army, apparently, they were unwilling to move on. However, the Japanese commander disagreed, waved his sword, and advanced! It's the dry season, the ground is dry, what's the point of going into the mountains!

A few Burmese people went into the mountains with hundreds of devils.

As soon as they entered the mountain, several gunshots suddenly rang out in front of them, and several Burmese who led the way were killed.

The Japanese troops who entered the mountains had very experience in jungle warfare, and they could see each other in groups of several people, which were absolutely not far apart, and they could communicate with each other by the sound of birds that were constantly dripping.

A veteran of the Japanese army carefully led several soldiers to search and advance, observing the surrounding terrain. The slopes here are not very steep, there are some large and small trees, and there is a big banyan tree not far away, and I want to come to those few people who resist the forces

It's right near the big banyan tree.

A few of them walked towards the big banyan tree.

After walking a few steps, they didn't notice that a person in the grass behind them had drawn a bow, only to hear the bowstring hum softly, and a Japanese soldier was hit by an arrow in the back, a small arrow.

The Japanese soldier fell to the ground.

Several other Japanese soldiers found out, looked back, and were surprised, and saw the arrow on his back, and suddenly became nervous

, searched around, but couldn't see anyone at all, and didn't find anything unusual at all.

At this moment, there was another buzz from a tree behind a Japanese soldier, and the Japanese soldier was hit by an arrow and fell.

There are only three left in this group.

The three of them were back to back, with guns in hand, slowly searching around, searching, and moving forward, unconsciously walking between the two big trees. A devil's foot tripped over something, and he thought it was grass, so he kicked it.

Suddenly, a stick hit a tree on the neck of a devil.

This kind of stick is a hunter's tool for catching animals, and even a big beast can knock him unconscious, let alone a person. The Japanese soldier was knocked unconscious at once.

There are only two left in a group.

The leading veteran was very experienced, not only his feet were light, but his eyes were also very sharp, he suddenly saw that something was wrong with the moss between the roots of a big tree, and he was about to stab him, when the muzzle of the moss slammed, and the old man of the devil fell.

Now there is only one left in the group.

At this time, the only remaining Japanese soldier was afraid, and he saw several Japanese soldiers under the big banyan tree, so he ran over, and just ran three steps, and another shot was fired under the moss.

A few Japanese soldiers under the big banyan tree were the headquarters, and one person set up a radio station, kept contacting, and was sending a telegram, but I didn't know that there was another shot there, and the telegram was killed. They kept hearing gunshots, seeing the Imperial soldiers falling, and now, even the messenger was dead.

The birdsong of the surrounding Imperial soldiers was becoming less and less.

Half an hour later, in the woods, in the trees, in the grass, under the roots, one by one the partisans came out, they quickly went to the corpse, pulled out their knives, quickly cut off the ears on the corpse, and then they began to clean the battlefield. The guerrillas took first the arms, then the belts, the steel helmets, etc., and finally, they began to strip off their clothes and shoes. Ten minutes later, more than 300 Japanese corpses were neatly lined up in the forest.

When the battlefield was cleared, a rope ladder was thrown down from the big banyan tree, and Stilwell, the path, and some observers climbed down from the big tree.

Stilwell examined it, and only one of the warriors had been stabbed in the arm.

Stilwell's heart shuddered, and he thanked God that these people were not my enemies. It's too ruthless and terrible.

When he first saw these guerrillas, Stilwell looked down on them. Some guerrillas did not have a gun for a dozen or so, and most of them were armed with bows and arrows and pikes, and their waist knives were short, similar to the rifle bayonets of the Japanese army.

Now he understands how powerful these partisans are. Although the bow and arrow are small, the arrow is poisonous. As long as you stab it, you will definitely die. The knife is sharp, and in the hands of a soldier who is good at hiding in the jungle, it works better than a rifle.

At this moment, a soldier on guard ran over and shouted a few words in the native language. Li Wei said: "Okay." He turned back to Xiaolu and said, "Report to the commander-in-chief, there are about 1,000 people from the devil's reinforcements, and they were found by the devil's telegram." ”

Xiaolu said: "Where is it?" He gave Li Wei an inquiring look.

Li Wei said: "It's three kilometers away from here, and it's estimated that it will arrive in ten minutes." His eyes understood, and he wanted to eat this Japanese army.

Xiaolu said: "Are you sure?" ”

Li Wei said: "It will take a little time. ”

Xiaolu said: "Call a few snipers to shoot and slow down the speed of the Japanese army, and the others quickly prepare, or this battlefield." ”

Li Wei said: "The Japanese army must know that we have an ambush here, and we will ambush again at the same place, okay?" ”

Xiaolu said: "It must be done." The Japanese would not have expected us to lay in ambush again. They must have received a farewell call, thinking that they were here to collect the corpse and clean up the aftermath. ”

Li Wei said: "I see." Out of the blue. They won't be able to spy on us anytime soon. ”

Xiaolu said: "Prepare a sniper rifle for me." ”

It is against military common sense to conduct the same campaign on the same battlefield, but someone did the opposite, and it worked well. Chen Geng did it once back then.

Now, Xiaolu has to do it once, the same battlefield, the same battle style.

Stilwell also understood at this time that they wanted to continue to kill the enemy.

Once again, the trail and the observers went up the trees, because they had no experience in jungle warfare, they would not hide, only the safety of the trees. The locals knew the hiding place in this big tree, but the locals were killed, and the big banyan tree was safe.

This wooded battlefield has experienced another jungle battle.

Xiaolu and Stilwell, along with several other Allied commanders, observe the battle under the branch of the Great Banyan Tree. When you look at the big tree outside the big tree, you can't see it inside, but when you look outside the big tree, everything outside is clear. The view from the big tree was wide, and from a distance, I could see that the Japanese army on the road was neat and drove quickly.

At this time, they heard the sparse sound of sniper rifles in the distance.

The Japanese troops on the main road dispersed and began to be on alert. Visible with binoculars, they reacted quickly. With binoculars, you can still see that the first shot, several Japanese soldiers died.

After a while, the Japanese army reorganized and continued to advance.

Gunfire rang out again.

This time, the Japanese quickly swooped in the direction in which the shots were fired. However, the surprise Japanese troops left the main road, entered the woods, and entered the rice fields, and the bad luck came.

In half a day, the assault ended, and almost half of the more than 100 people who went out died.

The Japanese marched slowly.

Two hours later, the Japanese army came to the battlefield where the Japanese army had just been annihilated. Stilwell had been looking through a telescope. Now he understands the wonders of the partisans.

This large area of mountains and forests is more than enough to hide hundreds of thousands of people, and when a thousand Japanese troops arrived here, it was really difficult to help these natives.

Through the gaps in the leaves, Stilwell saw the Japanese soldiers falling in the woods not far away. At times, a pile of grass leaped up and pressed against the hunched Japanese soldiers. Sometimes, when a knife flashes under the root of a tree, a good leg is cut, and as soon as a person falls, the knife flashes again, and the person dies.

This time, they didn't see many trap attacks, and most of the Japanese soldiers were killed by swords and guns.

The command of the Japanese brigade was concentrated, and only sporadic shooting killed some of them, and the ranks were large in number and in full formation.

The professional officers had the same vision, and the Japanese command also fell in love with the big banyan tree and wanted to use the big banyan tree as the headquarters, but when they were not far from the big banyan tree, they finally saw the neatly arranged corpses of Japanese soldiers. The corpses were undoubtedly Japanese, all dressed in Japanese shorts.

This was done by the other guerrillas while the snipers were delaying the Japanese advance.

The mood of this group of Japanese soldiers suddenly became excited.

All the Japanese corpses have no ears!
