Chapter 180 on apologies
When Major General Andamu woke up, it was already dark, and he first felt that his mouth was so dry that he couldn't help muttering, "Water, water—" and then, he heard a cry of surprise: "Your Excellency Miyamoto, the brigade commander is awake!" His thoughts immediately returned to consciousness, his eyes swept around, and he didn't see the figure of Kazuka Kazuka, but he only saw Miyamoto, who was wearing a steel helmet and looking haggard, and he shouted: "Stop! ”
The stretcher was put on the ground, and Miyamoto walked over, first saluted him, and then said with a complicated expression: "Your Excellency, you, you have finally woken up!" ”
Anda glanced around, surprised that there were only more than two hundred soldiers around, and asked, "What about the others?" What about the Chief of Staff? ”
Miyamoto bowed his head, tears in his eyes and said, "That's all, that's all I can do."
"Eight grids—ouch!" Anda was shocked and angry, and tried to sit up with his hands on the ground, but he felt a sharp pain in his right chest, and he screamed and fell back down. His chest rose and fell violently, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "What's the matter?" What happened when I was unconscious? ”
"Sir, you can drink some water first—" Miyamoto beckoned to take a jug from one of the soldiers, handed it to Anda, and then narrated. When he said that the main force of the Scholar Army rushed to the battlefield, and the Miyamoto Wing and the Shimamura Wing joined forces to break through from the direction of the British army, Anda shook his head and said: "You are wrong, since the Shina people have appeared on the battlefield, the best choice at this time is to leave the battle directly. ”
"Yes, we thought that the British were easy to fight, but who knew that Lu Dao was stuck in the quagmire - Your Excellency, the British attacked us with our weapons, which was a heavy blow to the morale of our army, and I think that the defeat of our army has something to do with this."
"Where are we now?"
"Your Excellency, I, I don't know!"
"You don't know?"
"Except for you, everyone else in the brigade headquarters is shattered-"
"The telegraph was also lost?"
"Yes!"
"Eight squares—"
At this time, it was already more than nine o'clock the next morning, and after successfully encircling and annihilating the Anda Brigade, Ouyang Yun met with Willy and Duran and other British generals. In this battle, the British prisoners of war suffered considerable losses, and only more than 1,600 of the 5,000 people who were the first to enter the battle survived, and the "Lanluga Prisoner of War Death Squad" even more than 300 people died, and the entire army was almost wiped out.
What made Song Yuanzhuang feel ridiculous and bright was that just as the battle was about to end, the British army in Lanluga City finally arrived late. The British were very smart, they actually sent sentry spies to wander around the periphery of the battlefield, and then after finding that the overall situation had been decided, Shi Shiran killed him with a clear banner. However, they obviously underestimated the ability of the Japanese army to fight to the death - more than 3,000 British soldiers lined up in a neat queue and drove towards the battlefield with great momentum, only to be killed by the remnants of the Japanese army. After a scuffle, the British army of the unit was killed by more than 400 people, and then scattered, but it became an obstacle for the student army to pursue the Japanese army. Miyamoto Chenghuan also had a chance to escape with more than 200 remnants.
More than 10,000 British prisoners of war escaped from the Lanluga prisoner of war camp, and in the end less than 4,000 survived when they were fully armed, which made Willy, Charlie and others quite speechless, and they all had a fever on their faces and were quite ashamed when they saw Ouyang Yun.
Ouyang Yun was not surprised by this. With the experience of that plane, he has long known the combat power of the British army. Rescuing British prisoners of war was not on the agenda of this large-scale offensive operation, and of course, he was not opposed to being the savior of the British. In the eyes of Song Yuanzhuang and others, the rescue of British prisoners of war was just to make trouble for the Thais and Japanese, and in his eyes, these people were all erect pounds!
Ouyang Yun was well versed in Confucius's "friends come from afar", and he was quite friendly to the British. He first expressed his condolences to the British, and then swore that they would be safe with the presence of the Cadets.
Now it is not what it used to be, the student army at this moment has made a great reputation in the Indochina Peninsula, and Du Lan and the others first have the experience of getting along with Song Yuanzhuang and others, and then the "cruelty and tyranny" of the student soldiers who have just witnessed it, and they have been completely "convinced" at this time. Like the first reaction of other foreign generals when they saw Ouyang Yun, they were very surprised by the young "commander-in-chief", Du Lan kept talking about this, and the words of flattery were endless, and there was still a little bit of arrogance that he usually showed.
Song Yuanzhuang was very happy when he saw his younger brother. The former made great contributions because of his "dedication" to a large number of British prisoners of war, and the latter was particularly favored by the commander-in-chief, and the two brothers were able to stand behind Ouyang Yun. Feeling that Duran's performance before and after was like the two of them, Song Yuanzhuang said to Song Siru: "This old British devil is not a good person. ”
Song Siru was more direct: "A sycophant!" ”
When the brothers were making fun of Duran, Charlie and Ryan were also discussing Ouyang Yun.
Charlie was a big old man, and he tasted Ouyang Yun's smile and said to Lien: "Why do I think Commander-in-Chief Ouyang's smile is like a treacherous smile!" ”
Rien looked at it seriously and said, "This is the mystery of the superior." Charlie, are you really going to join the Cadet Army? ”
"Of course, Captain Song is my master, and I want to learn the mysterious Chinese kung fu from him! Besides, if I kill so many deserters, if I go back, I will definitely go to court-martial, and instead of being imprisoned for life, it is better to go to China to help fight the Japanese. ”
Duran shamelessly slapped Ouyang Yun's ass in front of everyone, Willy blushed, and finally, he couldn't help it, and interrupted: "Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, can I make a request to you?" ”
Duran may have thought that Ouyang Yun and the Chinese soldiers around him couldn't understand English, so they were unscrupulous sycophants, but the problem was that Ouyang Yun was very proficient in English and his skin was not thick enough to a certain extent, and he also wanted to get out of this situation, so he answered: "Major, please speak." ”
Willy saluted and bowed, and then said, "Your Excellency, thank you again for your help. Yes, our army still has tens of thousands of prisoners of war in the Singapore prisoner of war camp, and I would like to ask you to help rescue them. Your Excellency, you don't know, the Japanese are not human at all, these beasts actually use our soldiers as tools for them to train special forces, and I escaped from their training base......"
Ouyang Yun was no stranger to this hand of the Japanese army, he listened intently, and then said with a twinkle in his eyes: "Major, I am very sympathetic to the plight of your prisoners of war. In the spirit of humanitarianism, there is no problem in helping you to get people out. But—do you know the 'Singapore Retreat'? ”
Willie escaped from Singapore, of course, knowing about this matter, thinking that he also had the opportunity to participate in the robbery of Chinese expatriates to escape, his face turned red, and he bowed again: "Your Excellency, I want you to solemnly apologize for that incident." ”
Ouyang Yun sneered, looked at his rank and said, "Major, you're just a regiment commander!" ”
Willie was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood the meaning of this sentence, and snorted.
Du Lan, who was on the side, felt the anger in Ouyang Yun's heart, and felt the murderous eyes of the soldiers around him, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, I don't approve of that matter-"
"Shut up!" Guo Da suddenly shouted: "What's the matter with you?" Stay cool and go! ”
Duran flattered the commander-in-chief, and Guo Da was afraid that he would lead the commander-in-chief, so he couldn't get used to it. Song Yuanzhuang had already reported to them the specific situation of this British prisoner of war, since Duran was just a straw bag brigade commander, Guo Da would naturally not be polite, and it could be regarded as revenge for having his ears polluted.
Ouyang Yun's sudden change of face was purposeful, and he continued to say to Willy: "Major, no matter what, the actions of your army in Singapore are not the actions of real soldiers. As for the apology, it should be your government and Commander Wavell to come forward. Take a good look at how many cadets we have died to save you. He suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Aren't the lives of our Chinese valuable?!" Or should you sacrifice for you if we were fools?! ”
