342 Persuaders
Depending on the situation, the military commander and his gang are going to run away first. Of course, Chen Zhiping knew the approximate time of the Japanese army's general attack, because that was revealed to him by Lin Xiuxuan through the radio, as for why he returned to Yangon at such a dangerous moment, the only explanation was that there was still a task entrusted by the boss that had not been completed, and in any case, this task was definitely not to blow up the materials in the warehouse. However, the information revealed through the radio only included the time of the Japanese siege of the city, not the time of the rebellion in the city, and before Lin Xiuxuan set off, he did not find out whether the Indians would definitely cause trouble, until this moment, he did not get any real news from Ma Qiang's side, and his radio was still hidden under the co-pilot seat of the truck at this time.
He was escorted by several plainclothes men to the opposite warehouse, which was at least 10,000 square meters, with makeshift fortifications and barbed wire fence at the door, and about a company of soldiers helping to carry the goods onto the truck, and another group of people assembling the trucks, apparently Dai Li's goods could not fit in one car. Chen Zhiping's own jeep was also parked inside, and several boxes were piled up behind the car.
Lin Xiuxuan swept his eyes, the * and * that were loaded on the truck just now were randomly discarded aside, and then looked into the distance, rows of trucks were parked there. When the Americans loaded the ships, they did not completely disassemble the 10-wheeled trucks, but only dismantled the back compartments, asked the British for some gasoline and drove away. Even without assembly, the pull gun is feasible. Even so, but they didn't do anything these days, and seeing that the Japanese army had arrived, they hurriedly assembled several of them just to pull their own things.
Chen Zhiping was talking to Gao Quanshun from a distance, seeing Gao Quanshun with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, nodding from time to time, as if he was being trained, when he saw Lin Xiuxuan arrive, he left Captain Gao and walked here.
"Director Chen, when are you going to blow up the supplies here? If you don't do it, you will be derelict in your duties. Lin Xiuxuan shouted loudly. Many of the soldiers moving and assembling trucks in the distance stopped to look in this direction. No one expected the prisoners to be so imposing.
"What are you yelling about? Don't think that if you turn the door high, you can deceive people. What I'm doing here is all about the war of resistance, and as for your background, I'll find out slowly. ”
"My background doesn't matter, the important thing is that the Japanese army outside is about to attack the city, and you are still here for such a little selfish gain."
A few of the soldiers who were working simply stopped, they didn't know that the Japanese army was going to attack the city, they only knew that Director Chen suddenly appeared, and he seemed very urgent, if the Japanese army was about to attack the city, everything became reasonable.
"If you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude."
"You use all the remaining vehicles to pull these smuggled goods, have you ever thought about the soldiers here? How can they leave without a truck and walk 500 kilometers on foot to Mandalay? Even if you can jump out of the Japanese encirclement and fall into the hands of the local people, what will happen to you, have you thought about it? ”
Lin's words were very provocative and had an immediate effect. Some of the soldiers stopped. They have been speculating about one thing, those boxes that Director Chen asked to be put into the car first were actually not war materials, because they didn't see him pay attention to the artillery outside. Many of them have fought in Songhu and Nanjing, and they are not afraid of death, but if they lose their lives for the sake of the national disaster and wealth of these high-ranking officials, what is the matter? Who hasn't thought about this?
"You Japanese spy, if you dare to talk nonsense, Lao Tzu will collapse you."
Chen Zhiping was annoyed and ashamed, and gave Lin An the name of a Japanese spy, of course, he also knew in his heart that it was unlikely, he estimated that this person should be sent by one of Director Dai's opponents, so he really let him collapse Lin Xiuxuan, he really didn't dare. Director Dai has many opponents, so how to solve this matter requires political wisdom. In fact, in this stall business, after all, he is just a starter, although Dai Li gave dry shares, it is only a small head, so he must leave a way back.
Lin smiled and stopped talking, he felt that the heat was almost over, so he sat down on the side of the crate and looked around, he had seen the weapons packages sent by the American ships at the Bund dock, and knew that some of the boxes contained four of them*, others were numbered rifles and ammunition, and some were medicines and siege machinery, all of which were things that the Japanese could use.
Over there, Gao Quanshun hurriedly urged his subordinates to work, but everyone was not very active, seeing that someone was going to leave everyone and leave in advance, it was already difficult to maintain military discipline.
Fierce gunfire suddenly rang out outside the warehouse. Gao Quanshun pulled out his pistol and ran outside to take a look, then retreated.
"Director, it seems to be chaotic outside. It was British trucks that broke in, dozens of them. ”
Chen Zhiping also panicked and went to the door to look at it for a while, but he couldn't make a decision, and he was stunned.
The gunfire was getting closer and closer, and Lin could hear that the two warring sides were using the same light machine gun, but the sound of other weapons firing was different, and it was clear that the Chinese official and the British 77 were exchanging fire. Soon, the firepower of the Chinese army became scattered and at a disadvantage.
The battle gradually split the winners, with the British guns gaining the upper hand, and it seems that the Indian rebels have won, and the Chinese army seems to have broken up without much fighting. In fact, the combat effectiveness of this tax police force must far exceed that of the Indian rebel troops, but for now, the Indians know what they are fighting for, and the Chinese soldiers who are called on by the chief workers here really can't figure out what they are doing.
Lin Yi turned his head and saw Chen Zhiping jumping into his jeep, which seemed to be about to slip away from the back door of the warehouse.
"Captain Gao, you have to let your people stand up. I can't stand it, I'm asking for you," he turned to a few of his subordinates on Lin's side after speaking, "You guys finish loading the last chassis goods, take this guy and make peace with me, I'm at the entrance of the British Army Headquarters in the north of the city." He dropped this sentence and hurriedly drove the driver, this American Willis Jeep only has two seats, naturally it can't hold too much goods, but he still hasn't forgotten to bring the rest of his men. As for what happened to the rest of the people here, he didn't mention it.
Seeing that the boss escaped through the back door with one foot on the accelerator, the four subordinates hurriedly pushed Lin Xiuxuan to load more than half of the truck over there. Seeing that there were still a few boxes piled up under the car, they were things that Chen Zhiping had ordered not to leave before he ran away.
Lin Xiuxuan shook off his civilian clothes and rushed over and kicked over one of the boxes. He wasn't sure what was inside, but he was sure it would give him the upper hand.
The box rolled to the ground, shattered, and the wine bottles inside rolled out, and then sprayed a large amount of white foam, many soldiers from the countryside had never seen such foreign wine, and began to exchange ears, Gao Quanshun probably saw it. You can see that his face is ugly. The hand carrying the pistol hung down. The sound of an approaching truck was heard outside, and he remained indifferent.
The machine gunners in the fortifications at the gate fired several bursts, causing a screeching braking sound, and a group of rebel trucks stopped not far away.
"Chinese soldiers, we are the soldiers of the Indian 17th Division uprising who have awakened." A stammering voice shouted, "We are not enemies, the colonialists are, we allow you to leave peacefully, but you must lay down your arms and promise or not destroy the supplies here." ”
Lin Xiuxuan was puzzled, he didn't think that there were such Chinese talents in the Indian military, and listening to the accent, it was more like a Japanese shouting.
"Chinese soldiers, give you 10 minutes to consider, if you don't evacuate, we will attack categorically."
"His grandmother's, what's this called? It's better to negotiate with the Indians, let's go. A soldier shouted. Captain Gao, whose face was pale, stood still and did not speak.
"Yes, we are here to fight the Japanese, not to smuggle and sell our lives to officials, and Lao Tzu will not do it anymore." Someone immediately chimed in, seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse.
Lin found that several military commanders around him in plainclothes were also panicked, and they all had no ideas.
A gunshot rang out, interrupting everyone's conversation. Only then did everyone find out that Gao Quanshun fell in a pool of blood, and he saw that the team was about to mess up, so he gave himself a shot, and now he is relieved.
"What's going on? Why do you work with guns inside? The voice outside shouted.
"You didn't hear it, there was a Japanese person shouting outside." Lin Xiuxuan jumped on a box and shouted, grabbing everyone's attention. At such a delicate moment, he must ascend to the heights and shout, or the enemy will succeed.
"You say, what are we going to do?"
"The Indian soldiers have been bribed to rebel, and Rangoon will soon fall, brothers, you must find a way for yourself to survive and get out of here alive." He shook off the plainclothes that were about to stop him, and said righteously.
"How do you find a way to survive?" Someone then asked.
"Do it with them. Can you still get the Indian soldiers to surrender and unload? ”
"But the guns are still in the storeroom?"
"Go a few guys and get the machine guns out of those boxes." He shouted to the platoon commander over there, "And you, go and tidy up there." ”
The plainclothes he had commanded were left in place, but the other soldiers began to move quickly, even if this person was unknown, but it would not be wrong to get the weapon first, or else they would have to wait for the slaughter. And every word of Lin is the one who can leave with everyone, since there is no captain, the soldiers also hope that someone can pick up this burden.
"What the hell is going on inside? Why shoot, do not answer, we attacked. The shouting continued. They didn't know the troops inside, they just saw the machine gun at the door.
At the entrance of the forest runway, it does not leak out.
"In five minutes, you send someone to talk, remember, only one is allowed in."
He said as he picked up Captain Gao's pistol from the ground. At the same time, the rest of the warehouse began to dismantle the boxes containing weapons like clockwork, and it usually took half an hour to clear out a grease-coated weapon, but now they only had a few minutes. Fortunately, those Thompson drums were already full of bullets.
Four minutes later, two people arrived at the door, and they violated Lin's agreement on the number of people. The two hesitated at the door, then walked in.
At the head was an Indian sergeant, and standing next to him was a Japanese man with an armband, presumably in the role of translator.
They pretended to be calm and took a few steps forward, looking proudly at the Chinese soldier in front of them, searching for the man who would stand up and negotiate with them. The floor of the negotiations has been set, and they can allow the Chinese soldiers to leave with their personal weapons, believing that the negotiations will not be too difficult.
"Have you thought about it, when will you leave?" Without waiting for the Indians to speak, the Japanese next to him spoke first.
Lin approached from behind, raised his hand and shot the Japanese, the startled Indian sergeant turned his face and looked at this treacherous fellow, Lin shot him in the head. Negotiations are over.
