827 Savior Lin Xiuxuan
The village chief was beaten by a fat beating, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, Lin Xiuxuan's Malay-Chinese did not follow the major to act, they all came with hatred, so they naturally did not act lightly.
The village chief had no choice but to hand over the grain, of course, under his submissive appearance, he secretly observed the group of people, it was obvious that they spoke Chinese with a local accent, they were indeed Malay-Chinese, judging from the clothing and Japanese-style weapons, they must be guerrillas.
Since the arrival of the Japanese, these Chinese who occupy the best land have been driven out, and the Wu people have begun to grow. Of course, in order to protect their interests, the elders formulated a guideline for action after a meeting. They had to maintain a delicate balance with the Japanese and Malay guerrillas at the same time, holding on to their own acres and threes of land, and letting them fight.
To some extent, although the Japanese are the liberators of the Wu tribe, they are still godless pagans, and the Japanese have assigned a huge food supply task to every Malay village, and if they fight with the Chinese, or the British, they will never return, which is the best outcome. Of course, whether the future Malays belong to the co-prosperity sphere or are dominated by the British Commonwealth, it is not the worst option, and they still hate the Communist Party and the Chinese the most, and the two are still together. In places beyond the reach of the Japanese, these villages have established paramilitary self-defense groups to defend each other, and have received some weapons and training support from the Japanese.
Lin Xiuxuan's team not only took away the grain, but also snatched some livestock from the village to carry the grain. This, of course, would infuriate them completely, and after the troops left, the village chief sent his sons around to make contact and prepare to retaliate.
Keiji Suzuki was on board and received a telegram from a MCP traitor, who knew how important it was, but could not translate it in time. Because I was too nervous to escape from Bangkok, I don't know where my subordinates stuffed the book as a secret key. And his men did not get on the ship.
It took a long time to find the one from a stack of books in the package - the 27th edition of "Capital" of the Republic of China. He used this book as the key.
This edition had a small print run, only 2,000 copies, and most of it was captured when the Japanese captured Canton, and the second edition on the market, which appeared to be bound and had almost the same number of pages, but with the addition of the translator's foreword, the total number of pages was increased by two, which made the book extremely concealed. And even better, the fact that the general secretary of the MCP has such a book on his shelf will definitely not arouse suspicion.
He sat down in the cabin and began to concentrate on translating ciphercode, and soon found that the situation was more urgent than he had imagined, but the complexity had decreased. The call referred to a Chinese army trying to search for a Japanese scientist who had escaped from a base in Thailand, and that the commander of the Chinese army, whose name was Lin. This incident made Suzuki feel that his opponent behind the fog barrier was approaching, and he obviously consciously challenged himself, maybe soon, he and he would meet him, and then it would be up to him to see who drew the gun faster.
The espionage work during the attack on Malay was completed by the Southern Agency with the assistance of the base camp, and Suzuki was well aware of the situation in Malay. Most of the locals cover the fields, but they are not entirely reliable, unlike in Myanmar.
During the attack on Malaya, the lone Japanese army was occasionally hunted down by the Wu villages. A year earlier, Yamashita had met with the leaders of the Pan-Malay Movement Association, and had hoped that they would say something like thanking the Emperor or thanking the Imperial Army, but as a result, they had taken all the credit for driving out the British, and had been brought to them by Arab merchants in the thirteenth century. This is one of the reasons why the Southern Army did not set up a puppet organization as in other places occupied, because the commander of the temple found that the local natives had no concept of gratitude.
They also disobeyed the Japanese army, often providing rotten and flatulent millet to the Japanese army, and they were not interested in the propaganda of the Emperor's Paradise, their paradise was a place where the infidels died. The only one willing to cooperate was to provide the Japanese with information on the Macpis guerrillas, and of course, they were not directly involved in the mopping up operations.
In other words, the assistance that the locals may provide to Makino is uncertain, and perhaps they will sell Makino for money. Suzuki knew that where he was going, the Japanese forces had been swept away. He could take a sweep force of several hundred men, but the strength was clearly insufficient.
His ship was to land in Gota Baru, and it is difficult to say where it was behind enemy lines, the 201st Division was in the western part of the peninsula and was fighting fiercely with the Japanese army, and for the time being, only Major Lin's troops appeared nearby.
There was no time to wait for Kagesa to join up with the men and horses he had brought back from Burma, so Suzuki had no choice but to act first. Before landing, he had to send a telegram to the traitor Wright, asking him to restrain the guerrillas as much as possible and not to assist the Chinese army, of course, Wright, who was in Johor, could not command the troops in the far border area well, so he had to ask Wright to go in person, and did not hesitate to threaten him by revealing his identity.
Before rescuing Makino, any interest is suspiciously sacrificed, and for this, Suzuki does not hesitate to sacrifice himself, not to mention an inside line.
After sending out the encrypted message, which was bound to make Wright angry, his ship was almost on the surface of the Kota Baru Sea, and he gathered his men on the deck and gave a pre-battle lecture, telling them that they would fight under unprecedented difficulties, that the enemy's power was stronger than ever in the area, and that the only thing they could rely on was the local alliance of elders.
At the same time, the guerrillas found that their fragile and non-aggressive understanding with the local Wu tribe had broken down, and in the search for the Japanese lurking in Lin Xiuxuan, the troops were repeatedly attacked by the locals, who seemed to no longer hold on to the original boundaries of the area and began to attack the guerrillas on their own initiative.
Chen Ping realized what was wrong, and he soon learned that about four Turen villages had been robbed of food, which was the cause of the Turen attack. The MCP guerrillas here were divided into more than a dozen, and not every one of them he could control, although he was nominally the supreme commander of the guerrillas in the Pattani area, and it was only because the original commander was wiped out by the Japanese army at a meeting that this heavy responsibility fell on his shoulders. Of course, it is also a strange thing that Wright deliberately designated a young man under the age of 20 to be the commander of the military district.
In fact, Chen Ping, who was originally a military commander in the Johor district, did not know much about the situation here, and Wright forcibly transferred the commander of the unit, and he did not even have time to meet some of the guerrilla leaders here.
It seems that his troops are short of food, which has caused an incident that violates national policy, but he knows that once a conflict arises, it will be difficult to reconcile it through negotiation. It is imperative that they fight back and see their strength before they can sit down and negotiate. But Wright's telegram after telegram strictly ordered him not to take drastic action. In fact, Chen Ping didn't have time to report the local out-of-control situation, and the general secretary seemed to have known about these things through other channels.
He was thinking about how to reply, when the general secretary's harshly worded telegrams suddenly burst into gunfire outside. He grabbed his weapon, went outside to observe the enemy, and commanded the battle.
According to the agreement, he sent all his own people to find the Japanese, and at the moment there are only more than a hundred people in the command, listening to the sound of gunfire, at least a thousand enemy troops surrounded this place, of course, there are few machine guns, obviously not Japanese troops.
Chen Ping could only immediately call the nearby guerrillas to come to the rescue through the radio, of course he knew that most of the detachments did not have a radio, and even if they did, they could not be turned on most of the time because of the lack of batteries.
Lin Xiuxuan received Chen Ping's call for help on the road, he almost relied on drone reconnaissance, followed the Malay army to this place, and then heard the call for help.
Judging from the situation captured by the drone, the machine gun he gave Chen Ping worked, and the Wu Clan Raiding Army, which was ten times larger, could not attack the guerrilla headquarters occupying the commanding heights for a while, so he was not in a hurry to come to the rescue, and if he appeared now, it would inevitably appear that he had been prepared.
He hoped that today's fierce battle would scare Makino out of hiding. Extrapolating his reaction, he should restore contact with the Yugoslav authorities at the first time, but where will he find the radio? He was more worried about the telephone lines in the facilities abandoned by the Japanese army, and if Makino found these lines, his communications would become very hidden.
After waiting for two hours, he felt that the time was almost up, the gunfire of the Wu armed forces over there gradually weakened, obviously they were short of ammunition, it sounded like a little longer, the guerrillas could break through on their own.
He grabbed the intercom and began to call Chen Ping. Over there, Chen Ping finally waited for a response, but he didn't expect that it was sent by the 5th Army that the general secretary had instructed to watch out for, or that Major Lin.
"Please let me know your situation, my team is on the way......" Lin Xiuxuan called.
"I have a battle here, right in the mountain pass on the map you and I exchanged yesterday. When you get there, you can hear gunshots. ”
"I'll be there right away, I'll ...... right away"
Lin Xiuxuan had already stopped at the mountain pass, and the gunshots had been heard for a long time. So the order was given to start the vehicle and move towards the gunshot. He had calculated the time, and it was about to be time for those Wu troops to worship, and it was the best time to start.
The Wu armed forces, themselves only a rabble, gathered about 1,500 people, and could not eat a company of guerrillas, listening to the movement, they only had one Hatch Kaith machine gun, ten minutes after the battle broke out, this machine gun was out of battle, maybe it malfunctioned.
Lin Xiuxuan didn't pay much attention to them, he launched the convoy from the rear, and the personnel did not get out of the car, only using a 12.7mm machine gun, to attack the enemy who was kneeling and kowtowing to the ground, and the enemy was dispersed at once. Chen Ping's guerrillas took advantage of the situation to rush out and completely crush the enemy.
In this battle, the guerrillas suffered very little losses, but they picked up a lot of bad guns. From the corpse, they dragged out the body of a young man. Chen Ping couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, he knew that Liang Zijie was big this time, this person was the youngest son of the local sect leader, although he was only ranked nineteenth, but he was the most beloved one.
