Chapter 365 - Evacuation of Overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia
In China, outside the city of Mandalay, the Burma Railway.
Two kilometres from the border, a temporary shelter tent area is set up here. On the small highway in the distance, there are constantly buses transporting truckloads of Chinese to the border.
The evacuation of overseas Chinese is not only by sea, but also on the land side of Southeast Asia, many buses are dispatched to go deep into Southeast Asia to pick up the Chinese. The tent area is the place where these Chinese are temporarily housed. And according to the wishes of these Chinese who were brought back, they would be separated here and sent to any part of the country.
In China, there are also many people who are looking forward to the return of their overseas relatives. The evacuation of overseas Chinese is not only related to the lives of Chinese people, but also allows many Chinese families to reunite as soon as possible.
At this moment, in Burma, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Cambodia, Chinese government workers, accompanied by soldiers, went deep into every village to bring back those Chinese one by one. Sometimes it takes days to reach a village after going deep into the jungle.
Considering the difficulty of marching, those more remote places, which are generally visited by soldiers, will be faster and more efficient. The purpose of this is to get all the Chinese back.
And each team of Chinese search personnel was accompanied by Japanese military personnel to prevent China from "playing ghosts" in Southeast Asia. As for the accompanying Japanese military personnel, the Japanese side also gave a very lame excuse: "protect the Chinese government functionaries." ”
China didn't say anything about Japan's approach, just follow it, anyway, even if it wants to make a ghost, it won't let those "followers" know. However, the Chinese military also proposed: "In order to improve work efficiency, the Chinese military will dispatch reconnaissance planes to search every jungle." And the Chinese military will also send small troops into Southeast Asia to protect the safety of the Chinese. "Such a condition, to which Japan said that as long as it is not a fighter, the protection force in each place cannot exceed one platoon, and the Japanese side can agree to it.
If it weren't for the fear that the helicopter would be exposed too early, Chen Shaodu planned to directly dispatch the army aviation troops, which would increase the efficiency many times.
The Salween River valley in Myanmar is the focus of the search by the Chinese government staff, and reconnaissance planes of the Chinese Air Force are constantly flying at low altitudes in the sky, looking for those villages that are stuck in the jungle, and then notifying the ground to go to these villages to see if there are any Chinese people living there.
Because in Southeast Asia, in the past 100 years, many Chinese have mixed with locals, and some have gone to the mountains and forests, so this kind of work is indispensable. Moreover, they were all accompanied by Chinese military personnel, who were more scouts and were very good at surveying and mapping. Scouting the terrain of Southeast Asia is also a potential purpose. That's why China is so fanfare, "above board" to check the terrain.
Those relatively large villages, and where there are roads passing through, have become transit points on the Chinese side. A loud radio sound, sounded from time to time. Those Chinese who were picked up from the jungle would wait here first, and then line up and board the buses back to China in turn.
Buses will also bring some food tents, after all, you may have to wait here for a day or two. It is also necessary to take into account the food, clothing, and housing of the Chinese, it is impossible to make them hungry!
On the edge of the Salween River valley is a small town called Akchin, which has been occupied by the Japanese army. In the past, there was also a company of British ** troops stationed here, because there was a road connecting many places. There are many branches, and it can be regarded as a transportation town.
Nowadays, this has become the main foothold of the Chinese official to transit the Chinese, many Chinese with the help of the staff, the family rushed here, after a short rest, as soon as the bus arrived, it would immediately send away some of the Chinese.
Over the past few days, the size of the town has also "expanded" a lot, and a lot of tents have been erected outside the original town. Every noon, many Burmese locals gather here, who have no way to escape and are restricted by the Japanese army. Those who were able to run away had already run to the Chinese border. If it weren't for the need for these locals in some places, it is estimated that the Japanese side would have raised their butcher knives against them by now.
These days, Chinese people are constantly being concentrated here, and many of them have come out of the jungle to relocate their families with the help of the staff.
At noon, the Chinese side will bury the pot and make rice. Those Burmese people will be attracted by the fragrance, and for them, even steamed buns have a very strong attraction. Because the Japanese are running out of food, they can only eat something that is difficult to swallow every day.
Looking at those hot steamed buns, as well as the fragrant lean porridge. These days, they're all gathered around the tent and watching. It's not that they don't come closer, it's that the entire tent area has been fenced off by Japanese soldiers and they are not allowed to pass at all. The same land, the same people, but the face of life is very different.
"Brother Chen, we still have a lot of food, and we will send a lot of food when we get out of the car, if we don't give a little bit to those Burmese people, they will be pitiful enough. I really don't know what their lives will become in the future. In the Chinese tent area, a captain with a three-star bar on his shoulder opened his mouth and asked a middle-aged man next to him.
"Xiao Xu, this matter is not impossible, but it still needs to communicate with the Japanese side."
Xiao Xu's full name is Chen Guangdi, and he is the deputy head of the Chinese working group for the evacuation of overseas Chinese from Myanmar. And the warlord captain named Xiao Xu is called Xu Da, and he is the military chief of the security forces in this area to protect the Chinese and the working group. He is also secretly in charge of surveying the terrain of this area. Born as a scout, he served in the special forces.
In order to ensure the safety of the Chinese here, there is also a platoon of Chinese troops in the town of Akchin, all of which are loaded with ammunition, mainly to prevent the Japanese army from coming in chaos.
"This matter is easy to do, I'll go and say, it is estimated that little Japan will not dare not agree, and it is not to use their food." Xu Da said.
"Then be careful, don't mess around." Chen Guangdi admonished.
"Don't worry! I know that. Xu Da also spoke.
After speaking, Xu Da sorted out his officer uniform and walked towards the Japanese soldiers, and the two soldiers also followed, walking behind Xu Da, staring at those Japanese soldiers tightly.
"I'm looking for your chief, Masao Watanabe." When he came to the Japanese army, Xu Da spoke directly in Chinese. It doesn't matter if these Japanese soldiers can understand it or not.
A few Japanese soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and the last soldier Cao came over and asked in Chinese, "What do you have to do?" ”
"I want to see Masao Watanabe." Xu Da spoke again.
"Wait a minute." Jun Cao nodded, and gave an order to a Japanese soldier beside him: "Go and inform the captain that the Chinese soldiers want to see him." ”
Xu Da didn't wait too long, a Japanese officer with the rank of Nakasa came out of the town, he was Watanabe Masao in Xu Da's mouth, the highest commander of the Japanese army in Akchin Town. When the Burmese saw the comers, they scattered in a hurry, as if they had seen some wild beast.
"Captain Xu, are you looking for me?" Watanabe Masao, who walked in front of Xu Da, said, as early as when Xu Da and the others arrived here, the two sides had already known each other. According to the rank of the Japanese army, the captain of the Chinese army was two levels lower than the Japanese army's Zhongzuo. And Watanabe specially called Xu Da as Captain Xu, the meaning is obvious. You're just a captain, and I'm still a lieutenant, and the condescending meaning is very obvious.
"Watanabe, I have a request, and I hope you can grant it." When Xu Da heard Captain Xu in Watanabe Masao's mouth, a trace of anger flashed in his heart, and he was not so polite when he spoke, so he called Watanabe directly.
"Oh, what a request, if I can cooperate, I won't refuse." Masao Watanabe was also very annoyed by such a title, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
"We have food leftovers here, let these Burmese people come over, and we will give them a little bit of food." Xu Da said.
"No problem, but our soldiers have to watch." Watanabe didn't refuse, and there was no need to refuse, and he didn't use his own food anyway.
"Okay!" After Xu Da finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Seeing Xu Da's back in the distance, Watanabe's heart was filled with anger, a captain could despise himself like this. If the other party was a Chinese officer, then he would not be so angry, but the other party was just a small captain, at best, a Japanese squadron leader. This made him very unhappy, but his forbearance was okay, at least he didn't show his anger.
On the other side, Xu Da was also quite unhappy in his heart, and said in his heart: Isn't it just a Japanese army captain? If it's on the battlefield, add some condiments and mix you directly, so sell skin, what's the spirit.
After the communication was completed, the Japanese side also opened an opening, asking those Burmese to line up and come to the Chinese tent area in turn. And the Chinese side is also ready to gather those leftover foods. Distributed to those Burmese.
Many well-fed Chinese around stood by and watched, with inexplicable sadness in their hearts. If it weren't for the empire behind them, perhaps they would be like these Burmese now, with little food and clothing, and no food and drink. It won't be like now, with plenty of food, you can leave this hellish place.
Many Chinese are also regretting why they didn't "go home" earlier and why they were reluctant to give up their family business here. If I had responded to the call of the country and went back early, there would not have been so many things today.
However, for those Burmese, they also have endless regrets. Why is it not good to have legs and feet, make up your mind to run away early, maybe you are already in China now, and it is not bad to be a Chinese citizen, where is there such a life that is not a human life now. And so many people went to China to become citizens of China, why didn't they follow at that time? If I were a Chinese citizen in China now, I would not have such a fate.
Ask the Buddha to bless you, hurry up and drive away these god-killing devils!
