Chapter 163 Internship Opportunities
For Lieutenant General Masuda Tomikawa, today is really a big day.
In the evening, because he had just received a telegram from Yamamoto 56 that he had learned that the General Headquarters had sent the aircraft carriers Longxiang and Fengxiang, he was relieved, and the supreme commander of the Thai Army, Marshal Sawit, suddenly called - there was about a brigade of Thai troops stationed in the city of Langluga, and fierce gunfire suddenly sounded in the direction of the prisoner of war camp, and the commander of the Thai army did not know the truth, and thought that the Japanese were shooting prisoners of war. Immediately reported to the Thai military high command. The officer on duty in the Thai military realized the seriousness of the situation and did not dare to take charge of it, so he immediately transferred the call to Shali. Sha Li was shocked when he heard this, and felt that if more than 10,000 British prisoners of war were killed, the Thai military would definitely be to blame, so he called Masuda very unkindly, asking him to immediately order to stop the barbaric acts of his subordinates.
At first, Masuda also thought that Kudo was angry with the prisoners of war in revenge for the killing of the two Imperial soldiers, so he didn't take it too seriously. He made a promise to Shali that the matter would be handled properly. After hanging up the phone, he asked his telecommunications officer to answer the phone in the prisoner of war camp.
The telephone line that kept in touch with the outside in the prisoner of war camp had long been cut by Lei Tianwei and them, how could this phone be connected? During the day, the shadow of the calculation of the Sakamoto Air Regiment swept over Masuda's mind, and the old devil had a very bad feeling in his heart, and immediately called Sha Li, saying that the phone in the prisoner of war camp could not be reached, and asked him to send the defenders of Lanluga to check what was going on.
For the sake of the imperial army's face, the old devil didn't say what he was worried about, and Sha Liyu wouldn't think of anything else, so he asked the brigade commander to send a few people to take a look.
The brigade commander carried it out to the letter, and the result was tragic. While the Thai soldiers were still on their way to the camp in three storming vehicles, the camp had already changed hands - because the unarmed prisoners of war at the last moment were slaughtered by the guards, and the enraged prisoners not only killed all the devils, but also became more united than ever.
Nine Thai soldiers threw themselves into the net, a very real problem was placed in front of the British, since the Japanese and Thai military have been aware, so what should they do next? Willy, who had become the de facto commander-in-chief of the British prisoners of war? Major Jones called a meeting of a group of officers, first pointed out from his own experience that breaking through from the west was a sheep's mouth, and then, under the worried eyes of everyone, pointed to Lei Tianwei and others standing in a dark corner outside the fence and said: "Now, we can only ask the Chinese for help!" ”
"Major, do you mean to break through to the east?" A major general named Duran asked.
"Yes. Gentlemen, you should know that if it were not for the help of the Chinese tonight, I would have seen God at this moment. And you, sooner or later, will die on the range where the Japanese train recruits-"
"Major Wiley, you escaped from a POW camp in Singapore, what really happened there? Is it worth the risk? A lieutenant colonel named Kurori asked.
The British prisoners of war held in the Lanluga POW camp were all from the same army and belonged to the same system. Compared to their collective, Willy is actually an outsider. Willie's identity and origin are no secret, and many people don't understand why he had to risk his life to escape from the Singapore POW camp. When Kuri asked, everyone looked at Willy with an inquiring look.
The British are not of one mind, or should it be said, not all of them have the courage to take a gamble. Therefore, even though they have been freed at this moment, many people are still worried, and even feel that Wili has harmed them.
Forced to recall what happened at Singapore's Xiongfeng training base, Willy's face showed a pained expression. After pondering for a few seconds, he felt that if he didn't tell what had happened to him, it would not be enough to dispel everyone's illusions about the Japanese, so he slowly opened his mouth and told the truth about what he had seen and heard.
As he spoke, all the Englishmen were stunned, and from time to time Major General Duran drew a cross on his chest, and from time to time Kuri gasped......
The British didn't make a decision for a long time, Lei Tianwei was impatient, and he said to Song Yuanzhuang: "What are the British doing? Are they still ready to have a big fight with the little devils? ”
Song Yuanzhuang threw away the cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath very comfortably, and said a little lazily: "What are you worried about?" In the current situation, they have no second way out except to follow the route we have set. Xiao Lei, how about another bet? I'm betting that within five minutes, the British will come and beg us. ”
"Come on! What's the point of this bet? It's coming, it's coming! ”
Willy was in front, others were behind, and a vote of British officers walked towards Lei Tianwei and Song Yuanzhuang. As he approached, Willy raised his hand to salute them and said, "Thank you again, our savior." Two gentlemen, there is an old proverb in your country - save people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, you have rescued us from the hands of the Japanese, so please do good things to the end, help take us out of the city safely! ”
Willie is not pretentious, and puts forward his request straight to the point, which is exactly the way a soldier speaks of things. Song Yuanzhuang's English is better than Lei Tianwei's, and he said very happily; "No problem, but I have a request."
"Please."
"Since we can liberate you from the Japanese, we naturally have the ability to bring the vast majority of you out of the country safely. But in order to minimize casualties, you must listen to us completely! ”
"Are you asking for command? No problem, I can promise you. ”
"Okay, I see that the team has also finished gathering, without further ado, let's go immediately."
"Yes! Sir, what shall I call you? ”
"Your surname is Song, and this is my partner Second Lieutenant Lei."
"Second Lieutenant Song, Second Lieutenant Lei!" Willy gave a military salute to Song Yuanzhuang and Lei Tianwei very seriously, and then turned to the others and said, "You all heard it, immediately gather the team and set off with the two commanders!" ”
When Lei Tianwei and Song Yuanzhuang first decided to rescue the British prisoners of war, they just wanted to use their strength to add some trouble to the Japanese and Thai military in the hinterland of Thailand. After receiving Lu Zhibai's telegram during the day, they judged that Chu Tiange's first army had captured Rayong Mansion, and their minds changed.
Lei Tianwei's original words were: "The commander-in-chief said that everyone in our wolf teeth will sooner or later be the general's material and can stand alone. This is an internship opportunity! ”
Song Yuanzhuang was even more straightforward: "Look at the commander-in-chief's meaning, this time I want to go straight to Huanglong!" Then let's just take Ranluga. There's an armory in Ranluga, enough for us to arm the British. If Ranluga is taken by us, it will be equivalent to driving a nail in the heart of Thailand. If the Thai devils and the Japanese devils want to pull out our nail first, then our army will have many choices - to achieve this step, the biggest problem is how to make the British obedient! ”
The British took the initiative to hand over the command, and the biggest problem was solved, Lei Tianwei and Song Yuanzhuang doubled their confidence, and the plan to attack Lanlujia was launched as they wished.
