Chapter 8: The Order of the Cherry Branch
As the train continued to move forward, shovels of black coal were thrown into the boiler of the steam locomotive, and in the flames, a white fog band fluttered between the sky and the earth, leaving patches of green mountains and winding streams behind them.
Although the carriage was beaten to tatters, and if you leaned your body on it, you might fall directly to the outside of the carriage, and each face was covered with thick smoke and dust, but they were all laughing. Everyone looked at Lei Zhen with eager eyes, and looking at their expressions, they really looked like a group of children who had just done good deeds and were eager to be praised by the teacher.
In the case of an absolutely unfavorable situation, they fought back desperately, successfully saved the entire train of military vehicles at the cost of zero casualties, completely annihilated the agents who infiltrated the military vehicles, and even used the anti-aircraft machine guns of the combat vehicles fixed on the train to successfully shoot down a dive bomber, of course, they are qualified to be praised!
However, Lei Zhen didn't smile, in fact, his face was gloomy like water, looking at the loot placed in front of him, he didn't know what he was thinking.
These agents, who infiltrated military vehicles and assisted the bombers in locking on to their targets, of course came prepared and made sufficient preparations. From the bodies of these seven bodies alone, the officers and men of the special service platoon found a small transmitter, smoke bombs, three-color signal flares that can lock on to the target of bombers at night, and the 94-type 8-millimeter caliber self-defense pistol produced by the Southern Military Department Factory, which can kill people in a matter of seconds Poison, narcotics, military maps, printed with a series of pictures and simple Burmese pronunciation, can be used by anyone, hand and foot, to communicate with the Burmese natives...... However, what really attracted Lei Zhen's attention was the rectangular metal box that everyone had on their bodies. These metal boxes contained a thick stack of pounds sterling that could be used in the British colonies, and the wealth they represented was enough for a Burmese to buy a large estate in this land ruled by the British colonists, and live a happy life with a group of wives and concubines.
Next to this stack of banknotes, there are two Buddha statues carved from green jade, just look at the Buddha statue that is as warm and flawless as a blue wave, and then look at the exquisite carving skills that can only be described by ingenuity between the fine chiseling and the hook, embellished with wisps of Buddhist dignity, can only be described by ingenuity, even if they don't know anything about jade antiques, everyone present can also see that each jade Buddha statue is worth a lot of money. In Myanmar, which believes in Buddhism, such a beautifully carved Buddha statue that can even dissolve into a kind of vitality has an incomparable special meaning and value.
The ghost who also reached out to open a metal box and looked at it carefully, but his attention was attracted by something else in the box. He carefully stretched out his fingers and pulled out a peanut-sized gold medal from the box, which was in the shape of a tree branch and could be pinned to his collar.
After carefully looking at it a few times, and then weighing the weight of the medal with his hand, the ghost said with a puzzled face: "Master, what is the use of these few small toys made of gold, not to mention the light, they are cast from the reverse mold, purely from the value of gold, they seem to be too far from the Buddha statues and banknotes, right?" ”
Lei Zhen looked at these gold medals side by side in the box with a solemn expression, and a ray of sunlight shone through, and the brilliant golden reflection stung Lei Zhen's eyes in an instant. After being silent for a long time, Lei Zhen said in a low voice: "The patterns on these medals are cherry branches!" ”
Other people haven't done much yet, following Lei Zhen to learn every day, his vision and experience are no longer what they used to be, and before he set out on the expedition, he conducted a detailed investigation and research on the customs and customs of Myanmar, and his face has changed.
Myanmar is a multi-ethnic country, and the absolute dominance is the Burmese ethnic group, which has 71 percent of the country's population and is known as the "Burmese proper". The Burmese people revere the white elephant, the lion, the banyan tree, the wonderful sound bird and the twigs of the cherry tree as symbols of life and strength.
The hands of the ghost holding the metal box were trembling slightly, he raised his head, looked at Lei Zhen, and said in a lost voice: "Master, we ...... Oh no, stop it! ”
Listening to the sudden shouts of the ghost talent, most of the people in the car widened their eyes inexplicably, growing up with the ghost talent since childhood, Jiangdong Sun Shangxiang, who knew everything about his favorite prank surname, said unceremoniously: "Ghost talent, what are you crazy again?" ”
"The ghost is right, we must stop immediately!"
From the moment he entered the carriage, Luo Sanpao, who had been lowering his head and carefully studying the military map captured from the intelligence officers, said without raising his head: "The fact that Agent Ben can appear on this military vehicle is enough to show that all our recent military operations have completely fallen under their surveillance. If we succeed in destroying our train full of tanks and all kinds of ammunition, it will deal a serious blow to the expeditionary force, both mentally and physically. Just now, I had been wondering how the intelligence agency, with its style of acting, could have sent only two warplanes to attack such an important military target as ours. ”
Listening to Luo Sanpao's words, the faces of everyone present became heavy, and their eyes were staring at the golden cherry branch medal in the hand of the ghost talent, and the second squad leader Wang Ersheng suddenly asked a question, "Is this kind of little play equivalent to a military merit medal?" ”
Lei Zhen nodded slightly, if the banknotes represent the temptation of material life, and the Buddha statues represent the catering of religious beliefs, then these cherry branch medals made of pure gold are the recognition and respect for the invincible warriors who charge on the battlefield!
"Grandma's, these little ones carry a bunch of military medals with them, doesn't it make it clear that there is a group of turtle sons and bastards who were bought by them in front, hiding in the shadows, just waiting for us to rush up and take the time to give us a cold shot?"
Speaking of this, Wang Ersheng's eyes widened suddenly, he slapped his forehead hard, and shouted, "No, stop quickly!" If we don't stop, we'll just leave the tiger's den and go into the wolf's den by ourselves! Instead of just stopping, we should immediately turn around and go back the way we came. If we really stop here stupidly, I'm afraid that it won't be long before their second wave of bombers will fly over us! ”
Listening to Wang Ersheng's suggestion, Lei Zhen, Ghost Cai and Luo Sanpao shook their heads together, this second squad leader, who claims to be a "rat in the granary", has a flexible mind, and understands the philosophy of driving away good fortune and avoiding evil enough, but his vision seems to be a little shorter.
"I said that I played this trick well!"
The ghost cai snorted and said: "No wonder they first destroyed the radio station on this military vehicle as soon as they made a move, so that we lost contact with our superiors. A person who can formulate such a set of iron locks to seal the river and make people in a dilemma can really be called a super genius who kills people without seeing blood! ”
"I think what kind of poisonous tricks are designed to make people in a dilemma, and what kind of tricks to kill people without seeing blood, compared with you, a super genius who likes to harm others and benefit yourself since you were a child, at most you are half a catty and eight taels of good people."
In this kind of situation where you can't move forward and can't retreat, you can still use a joking method to successfully relax everyone, of course, Luo Sanpao, who has participated in the Northern Expedition and doesn't know how many winds and waves he has experienced. He stared at the map with both eyes, his finger fell to a certain position above, and said in a deep voice: "If there is really an ambush in front of us that is familiar with the terrain of the Burmese indigenous miscellaneous army, in order to make up for the difference in combat strength with us professional soldiers, they should choose this mountainous area that can give full play to the terrain advantages to the limit." Here, as long as they occupy both sides of the railway too steep, in order to prevent the gravel from rolling down, they have made anti-collapse treatment, and even the monkeys have no way to climb the mountain wall, even if they are smashed with stones, we can be smashed into a pile of rubs with people and cars. ”
Wang Ersheng interjected: "In my opinion, wouldn't it be better to bury some explosives on the railway, blow up the front of the car directly, or simply detonate the shells on the car?" said that I used this method to bomb Zhang Zuolin back then, and they can be regarded as old in their profession when they do this kind of thing! ”
Listening to Wang Ersheng's words, Luo Sanpao couldn't help frowning, if this is the case, it is indeed impossible to prevent it. But the ghost shook his head, "I'm not worried about that. ”
Facing everyone's inquiring eyes, the ghost is a guy who has liked to play pranks since he was a child, but at this time, he just sold Guanzi, and suddenly hummed a song: "We are all sharpshooters, every bullet destroys an enemy, no guns, no cannons, the enemy makes us; We are all flying troops, even if the mountains and rivers are high and deep, there is no food or clothing, and the enemy sends us forward ......"
The ghost Cai's incomplete singing voice is definitely a fight with the [***] guerrilla member Tie Dan, only listening to Tie Dan sing it once, the ghost Cai obviously didn't fully remember the lyrics, and now he sings casually, it really can be called a nonsense and nonsense, but listening to this song, Luo Sanpao's eyes lit up, and even Jiangdong Sun Shangxiang's eyes lit up.
If this raid had been led by the intelligence forces, they would have planted a large number of explosives under the railway embankment and blown up the entire train of military vehicles. However, led by the Burmese National Freedom Movement, which also uses guerrilla tactics, even with the covert support of the intelligence services, but still has a serious shortage of weapons and ammunition, and also needs to be captured from the "enemy", they will definitely use more "modest" methods to achieve victory.
If the situation permits, they can grab as much as they can, which is in line with their survival principle of fighting to nourish the war and getting stronger the more they fight!
Several pairs of eyes fell on the position of Luo Sanpao's finger at the same time, and by this time, the location of the Burmese guerrillas ambushing their military vehicles had been revealed.
"If you want to rob us, we might as well be the first to strike!" Wang Ersheng licked his lips and said, "We are still more than ten kilometers away from the position where the other party set up an ambush, let's just stop here, and then select some capable brothers to move forward lightly, and smack them hard from behind!" Let them know how many eyes Lord Ma has! ”
Luo Sanpao was the first to echo Wang Ersheng's suggestion, "That's right, instead of being led by their noses, it is better for us to take the initiative with a backhand blow, maybe we can win in the chaos." ”
"Of course, it is a good way to take the initiative to attack and replace defense with offense, but in terms of details, we must pay more attention to strategy and tactics!"
As long as you look at the weird smile on the face of the ghost, the Qinggang brothers who grew up with the ghost know that what they are playing here is to harm others and themselves, and they don't know what it means to be a rabbit who doesn't eat the grass next to the nest in his head, and what idea of playing the dead is not paying for his life.
"This intelligence agency is not their allies, these guys wearing yellow monk's robes and shaved their heads are not their close comrades-in-arms. Think about it, if a group of Allied comrades-in-arms wearing yellow monk's robes and a cherry medal pinned to their collars cautiously approached them, attacked from behind without noticing, walked in front of them with a smile on their faces when they found out, and then raided face to face, what would the Burmese guerrillas who were beaten to a great deal think in their hearts? Did you shoot back at the first time, or did you subconsciously stretch your neck and shout something, 'Taijun, we are allies and comrades-in-arms, you hit the wrong person'? ”
With an absolutely weird, absolutely insidious smile, the ghost smiled and said: "Anyway, don't care what they shout, we are kicking up the guy and shooting violently, and at the same time we are replying to something like 'Ba Ge Yalu, your dead work', 'Yours, Tai Ba Shell, my Mishimsi have' and other Burmese people can't understand, and I can't figure it out, in short, we must make them stunned, we must make them stupid, and when they finally react and want to fight back, I think how can we kill seventy or eighty people, right?" ”
"That's right," Luo Sanpao, who has rich experience in actual combat and is estimated to have absolutely good experience in sneak attacks, interjected again: "The magazine capacity of the Thompson submachine gun we use is limited, and a burst of fire will shoot the bullet into the air, in the face of those enemies who have not been killed, and may beat you into a honeycomb as soon as they return fire, you must not show timidity, and your face must show anger and madness, as if someone else borrowed three hundred pieces of white flowers from you the year before last, and you haven't paid it back until now, But suddenly offered to borrow another 500 oceans from you. Coupled with the shining eyes of the thief, the powerful waving arms, and the angry cry of 'Bage Yalu', in short, no matter what, you must use your expressions, voices, and movements to gain the absolute upper hand in momentum, so that the other party thinks that you or the people around you have really done something angry and resentful, and really offended your important close comrades. That way, you'll have enough time to get a second magazine while they're on their minds. If you're fast enough, you might even be able to drop a grenade or two! ”
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! Dadada......"
Luo Sancang's mouth simulated the sound of grenade explosions and submachine gun strafing, and his hands were still in the air to draw several explosive shapes, as for the expression on his face...... If the expression on the face of the ghost is the weirdness of playing the dead and not paying for his life, then Luo Sanpao, who has been in the Qinglou for three years and doesn't know how many beauties he has scooped, has a silver swing on his face! Facing his eyes full of temperature and high-voltage electricity, everyone present, except for Jiangdong Sun Shangxiang, an individual with different surnames, all secretly beat a shiver with the same surname!
And when they looked at Ghost Cai and Luo Sanpao, their eyes were full of a few big characters...... You guys are fucking shameless!
"Well, yes, I'm relieved that you can have such an awareness."
At this time, who else can still speak out and praise, except for their Lei boss Lei platoon leader, who else can there be? Lei Zhen lightly traced the shiny blade of his fighting saber with his fingers, and said with a smile: "We only collected seven corpses, in other words, there are only seven sets of monk's robes, and it is obviously unwise for only seven people to sneak attack a large number of enemies, so you must do a good job of collecting supplies first." ”
Following Lei Zhen's gaze, Luo Sanpao and the ghost clearly saw that in a certain corner within their sight, there was a temple that was not too big and could be seen everywhere in Myanmar.
"Let's go in and 'borrow' a few sets of monk's robes," Lei Zhen's malicious gaze swept over the thick black hair on the heads of Ghost Cai and Luo Sanpao, and swept the two of them with a burst of shock, as if the knife had fallen on their heads.
"Don't forget what you said just now, when you go in to 'borrow', or 'turn into a relationship', you must say a few more words of 'Ba Ge Yalu, your dead work', you must shine more with your eyes, and make more use of the momentum formed by your expressions, limbs and voices, to achieve the goal of surrendering without a fight, and successfully get dozens of sets of monk robes!"
Speaking of this, Lei Zhen suddenly raised an absolutely weird smile on his face, he reached out and took out a cherry medal made of pure gold, but the weight is absolutely limited, from the metal box, and said: "Of course, we didn't go from the temple for nothing, and after collecting enough materials, you can take such a medal to thank the abbot of the temple." But remember, the materials you collect must be more than three times the gold value of this medal, if someone refuses our 'goodwill' exchanges, refuses to recognize the sacred value of the Cherry Medal, you can also pull out your own Southern 94 pistol, and have a good talk with the other party, under the premise of not killing people and not bodily harm, educate them to learn that the situation is stronger than people, and we can't change the status quo, we must first learn to adapt to the status quo, such a big truth. ”
Ghost Cai and Luo Sanpao both looked at their Lei Platoon Leader Lei with the most respectful eyes, and in their hearts, they thought the same thing, "Black, it's so fucking black!" ”
No one understands the significance of Lei Zhen's tactics better than Ghost Cai and Luo Sanpao, and Agent Ben has formulated a series of bribery policies based on Burmese's religious and ethnic characteristics, especially their mass-customized gold cherry branch medals, which will stimulate a wave of competition among members of the Burmese Freedom Organization.
But what Lei Zhen instructed them to do, although they were disrespectful to the Buddha, would completely devalue this cherry branch medal. In fact, if the soldiers really retained the minimum respect for the Buddha, how could they go to China and see the Buddha statues engraved in the Tang Dynasty in the grottoes with cultural value, and cut off the Buddha's head without saying a word, and then transport it back to China, and call it a fucking cultural study?
I'll cut off your head, send it to the research institute, and shout about the research for the development of human civilization, are you willing or not?
And the next few words of Lei Zhen made the legs of Ghost Cai and Luo Sanpao tremble violently, "I don't feel at ease when others lead the team, so I will let the two of you personally lead it, well, things are urgent and simple, we will avoid this kind of thing as burning scars with incense, but at least the procedure of shaving and cutting off the three thousand troubles is still inevitable, how about it, which of the two of you will come first?" ”
…… Thirty minutes later, a group of "monks" who looked more like bandits than bandits, and were brandishing military pistols of the 94 style, swaggered into the temple. Walking in the front, there are two people who don't know why, but there are a few pieces of hemostatic gauze pasted on their heads, and their faces are really murderous ascetics.
These two ascetics, who looked absolutely different, were surrounded by other people's stars and the moon and strode forward, as soon as they walked into the temple, they opened their mouths and spit out seventeen or eighteen "Eight Ge Yalu", and shouted out ten ** "Die, die, work"! Before the host could figure out what was going on, they took off his monk's robes. Even if the other monks are dissatisfied, but in the face of those who are full of anger, their arms are waving vigorously, their eyes are radiating flame-like light, and they are still playing with ropes, knives, pistols, and grenades in their hands, their expressions are really like the eighteen vajra, and like the companions of the Venerable Dragon and Tiger, who dares to say anything more with the Buddha above?
Within five minutes, the entire temple monks were stripped of their tunics, and the most unexpected thing was that these unusual peers even politely paid the cost of "buying" clothes, and a golden cherry blossom medal that could be blown away with a single breath.
Looking at the beautiful Cherry Branch Medal in his hand, the look of surprise on the face of the abbot of the temple had not disappeared, and the ascetic monk with three or four pieces of hemostatic gauze on his head strode up to him again and took the Cherry Blossom Medal again.
In front of all the monks, the hair on his head was shaved by Lei Brother Lei's platoon commander himself, and he cherished the gold cherry blossom branch medal into his mouth, bit it hard, and then broke it with his fingers, and in the stunned gaze of all the monks, the gold medal that represented the respect and recognition of the most outstanding warriors and bit out a row of deep tooth marks was divided into two halves when all living beings were born.
With a proud expression of kindness on his face, the ghost cai weighed it twice, and put the medal that was bitten in half, the lighter one, and put it in the host's hand, patted the other party's shoulder, and gently left a sentence of "Eight Ge Yalu", lest others not know that they were the agents of the book, playing with the 94-style pistol in their hands, the ghost Cai waved his hand, and in the cry of "Yasi gives", with a group of brothers who were more bandits than bandits, but finally kept the necessary distance and restraint on the monks, Without looking back, he strode away, leaving only a group of monks who looked at each other and fell into a complete stupor, leaving only the muscles of their faces still beating.
Anyway, this time, the dirty, said that the agents of the intelligence department who disguised themselves as monks and infiltrated into Myanmar everywhere were determined, and they had four copies of the gold cherry branch medal, and the depreciation was even more depreciated!
Although these soldiers do not believe in ghosts and gods, they still have a lot of respect for monks and temples, and they are absolutely unwilling to offend if it is not necessary. But now that the intelligence department has turned the monks into their protective colors, in the face of the decisive battle between the two peoples, once they are involved, what can they do alone?
Twenty-four soldiers of the special service platoon, plus 14 officers and men of other units who did not jump out of the car and volunteered to participate in the operation, put on monk's robes. A group of monks with shaved hair on their heads and rosary beads stood together, each with their heads held high, and they looked like they had a bit of Buddhist solemnity, but the Thompson-style submachine guns in their hands, filled with bullets, and the offensive grenades and grenades looming on their waists, greatly diluted this rare atmosphere of compassion.
In the face of such a group of daredevils dressed as monks, the battle of life and death is imminent, and the order of Lei Da Da Lei's platoon commander is very simple but very instigating, "Amitabha, my Buddha is compassionate." Brothers, get your chance and shoot those turtle sons bastards from behind! ”
