Chapter 40: Hands Up
Just when Pan Meiren received the secret message sent back by Xiao Yi, the Xinghua Volunteer Army began a violent operation.
The specific action plan was put forward by Cui Lin. The captain of this wolf-tooth squadron was quite bold, and he proposed that he and a wolf-tooth named Wang Gensheng accompany Lin Jiangshi to meet the commander of the British division who surrounded the camp, and then directly take him as a hostage to force the British army to get out of the way. And if this hand doesn't work, then force the attack, first bombard the temporary headquarters of the British army with mortars, and then fight all the way!
"The British are unkind to us and unjust, mother, it's time for these foreign devils to see the blood of our Chinese!" Cui Lin said to the officers of the Volunteers.
When the officers of the Volunteer Army heard this, their blood boiled, and they all geared up, and their morale soared.
The commander of the British division who surrounded the Volunteer camp was named Johnny. Johnny had just learned of Wavell's planned retreat, and was praising Wavell like a flower in front of the two brigade commanders and the chief of staff. "Admiral Wavell is simply our savior! Oh God, why didn't you transfer him to the Far East sooner? In that case? We may have defeated the Japanese by now—" He was running a train with his mouth full when a second lieutenant came in and reported, "Sir, the commander of the Xinghua Volunteer Army, Lin Qiujian." ”
"Did the Chinese notice it?" Johnny said, and Harry laughed twice, "It's too late! Let him in! ”
It had only been more than ten days since the Battle of Singapore began, and the British army had only lost 2,000 dead, but their morale had been lost. It's no wonder that they were so ecstatic and even carried away when they learned of the plan for the great retreat.
When Lin Jiangshi took Cui Lin and Wang Gensheng inside, he was stopped by two British guards at the door. The second lieutenant walked out and said to Lin Jiangshi: "You can go in, they stay!" Then he said, "Give me the guns for safekeeping, and then give them back to you when you come out." ”
Lin Jiangshi frowned, he didn't expect this little lieutenant to make things difficult for himself, his hand held the handle of the pistol, and he was hesitating whether to hand it over, but he heard a few soft shouts of "ouch", Cui Lin and Wang Gensheng suddenly stepped forward, their fists fell, and the two guards, including the second lieutenant, had already been put down.
Cui Lin shouted in a low voice: "Go!" He strode into the house.
Inside the room, Johnny and the others were talking and laughing wantonly to vent their long-standing emotions, and a brigade commander inadvertently looked at the door and saw Cui Lin and Wang Gensheng easily put down three British officers and soldiers. Taken aback, he stood up and shouted, "There are assassins!" As he spoke, he drew his gun.
The others were reminded by him to look at the door, and two of them wanted to draw their guns, but at this moment, they only heard a "horn" gunshot, and the teacup on the table next to Johnny was suddenly shattered, and then they heard a somewhat stiff English shout: "Don't move, bullets don't have eyes!" ”
Johnny was startled and asked Lin Jiangshi, "Lin, what do you want to do?" ”
Lin Jiangshi followed Cui Lin and Wang Gensheng into the house, and sneered: "Master Johnny, I should ask you this, right?" Why are you surrounding our volunteer camp? ”
"Commander Lin, there is something to say, there is something to say, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Said a brigade commander.
"Gentlemen, raise your hands and raise them a little higher!" Cui Lin held a Browning in each hand, and said senran.
The king came after them, and unloaded all the spears from their loins.
"Lin Jiangshi, do you want to rebel? Don't forget, we have a whole division here," Johnny shouted inwardly, and before he could finish his words, he was slapped hard by Wang Gensheng. "Shut your mouth if you still want to eat with two teeth!" Wang Gensheng also said in English, and the viciousness of his attack and the coldness of his tone suddenly shattered the conjectures of the British officers, making them realize that the Chinese had come for real this time.
Outside the house, hundreds of British soldiers had gathered around. However, after seeing the situation in the house, they threw rats one by one, and no one dared to get too close.
"Johnny, let them all put their guns down!" Lin Jiangshi said to Johnny.
Cui Lin motioned with a pistol to expel a total of three generals and two colonels and escort them out of the house.
"Put your guns down, quick!" Johnny and the others were already sweating, and they were scared. For them, they were in heaven just now, but now they are in hell - the Chinese not only perceive their actions, but also take needle measures, and as far as they can observe, these savage Chinese can really shoot them, if they do not cooperate.
Cui Lin and the three of them escorted five British officers to the street, and in front of thousands of British soldiers, Cui Lin put a pistol to Johnny's head and said: "Don't test our patience, if after five minutes, there is a British guy at the gate of the volunteer camp, Lao Tzu will break your head!" ”
In the face of this naked and bloody threat, Johnny had no temper at all, and angrily shouted at the British officers and soldiers around him: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, put away your guns!" Do you want to murder us?! ”
The volunteers left the camp in an orderly manner, and at the same time, the Chinese who had been notified nearby also came out of their hiding places and slowly followed behind them.
Cui Lin and Wang Gensheng escorted five British officers onto a military truck, and two people tied them to the guardrail of the military truck, the latter held a machine gun, and when the military truck suddenly activated, he suddenly swept a shuttle at the foot of the British army formation that was slowly approaching, and shouted in English: "If you are not afraid of death, follow up!" ”
Trilin pointed his pistol at Johnny, who immediately shouted in amusement; "Don't keep up! Stand by now! ”
The volunteers slowly marched towards the wharf, and Chinese people joined them from time to time along the way, and soon gathered a team of tens of thousands of people. In the meantime, some British troops tried to stop them, but they were headshot by the leading wolf fangs and killed a major and a captain. And as Johnny began to shout continuously from a loudspeaker: "I am Lieutenant General Johnny, the commander of such and such a division, soldiers, I order you not to shoot!" "The British watched them go away, and no one wanted to come out and provoke the Chinese who were already in a state of rage.
The plan for the "Singapore Retreat" was limited to a few high-ranking generals in the British army. The middle and junior officers and soldiers had no way of knowing, and they did not suffer from it.
At the same time, with the help of Xiao Yi and Zhao Haowen, Chen Jiageng gathered the nearby Chinese, with some community members as the main force, armed with cold weapons and some short guns, and hijacked Toms and killed him.
