668 Infighting

Lieutenant General Min Aung has always been a bit clever, the smartest of the Burmese, and he can come up with a way to kill the guards and change into his own uniform to escape. It shows that although he does not learn and has no skills, he still understands the gist of Li Daitaozhuang's military family in the thirty-six strategies. Of course, the behavior is not at all like what a commander should do. He surrendered in soldier's clothes, and he was indeed not very old, so he was deceived for a while, and according to the policy of the Allies, these people would be released soon after disarming.

Of course, in the end, the prisoners of war who despised his behavior identified Min'ang, and he was found out. Xu Chong was originally going to collapse with one shot, but after thinking about it, after all, with the rank of lieutenant general, although it is a water-injected independent army rank, it will be very beneficial for Chu Tingchang to operate and promote himself here. So he didn't kill it, and sent a report to ask Pavilion Chief Chu for his opinion, but he didn't expect Pavilion Chief Chu to think that this chess piece could still be used.

Min Ang, with Xu Chong's letter of persuasion and a company of men, was escorted to the confrontation line. Along the way, he saw American paratroopers sitting on the side of the road with their faces dirty, and the field hospital was full of wounded soldiers. He knew that the Allied forces were not strong.

The Burmese interpreter here shouted with a loudspeaker rolled up in paper, telling the other side to pay attention to Lieutenant General Min Aung coming. The other side didn't respond, but it should have been heard. Min'ang strode back with his own people.

After walking for a while, he was already far away from the Allied battle line, and Min'ang felt that the Allied army could not see him, so he took out the letter of persuasion in his arms, tore it into pieces, and threw it on the ground. Under the suspicious gaze of the Burmese army on the defensive line, he walked into the city with his toes held high like a victorious general.

Chu Ting was not so sure that he was calculating the battle situation a hundred kilometers away, in fact, he had just figured out the genealogy of the Min Aung family, and it turned out that the leaders of the Arakan army were all their families. Some overseas Chinese introduced him that the family was notoriously ruthless.

For Chu Tingchang, the worst plan is nothing more than his own mistake, and putting Minang back has no effect, but anyway, his own people need to be repaired, so just wait. Of course, you can't be passive and stupid, in Zhou Youfu's army, there are already a few overseas Chinese who volunteered to sneak into the city as an internal response. These men spoke Burmese and had learned radio communication in the East Indies and were using it. The Burmese army is a rabble, the organization is chaotic, and it is not difficult to change clothes and blend in.

He was still waiting for Zhou Youfu to quickly search the headquarters of the Yugoslav organ to see what written information was left, in addition to not wanting to fall into the hands of the Americans, he himself also wanted to see what the Japanese said about him. Of course, he had already kept an eye on what he could find, and it was likely that the enemy had deliberately left it for the Allies to show or to himself.

Zhou Youfu took a few reliable cronies to carefully search every corner of the headquarters and search every piece of paper left behind. Sure enough, he found a safe that was blown up crooked by the U.S. military, Zhou Youfu found someone from Lan Xiang's troops, cut the door of the safe, and found that in addition to the code book, there were also Japanese files inside, he didn't look at it, he quickly sealed it, pasted a seal, and asked a reliable person to send it to Chu Tingchang.

In Sittwe City, after Min Ang came back, he didn't go directly to his cousin, and now he goes, it is estimated that he will die for a lifetime, after all, it is a family, and it is still clear what kind of virtue his family's family style is. Many of the troops here are their own old units, and they must be contacted first.

Over there, Lieutenant General Gangting was also surprised to know that the enemy had actually put Min Ang back. Due to poor communication, he inspected the defense in the north of the city, and a communication soldier came to report that Min Aung had returned to the city, which really surprised him. Hurry up and ask people to find Min Ang's whereabouts, for him, this is a big trouble. Gangting was the son of General Maudin and was supposed to inherit the position, but Min Aung had deeper roots in the army, so he seized power. He had long wanted to get rid of Min Aang, but he didn't have a chance, there was news that the allies had killed Min Aang, he immediately knelt down and thanked the gods, but now he started killing his cousin, it's hard to say the past. After all, I pretended to cry last night.

Gang Ting was a little hesitant about whether to do it immediately, and wanted to wait until it was dark to start, during this period, Min Ang had already moved among the troops, and quickly mastered a large number of people, Min Ang's strategy was the same as Gang Ting, and he also waited until it was dark to make a count, and the worst plan was to kill a boss with a heads-up method.

After nightfall, the Allies began to replenish ammunition supplies. Lieutenant Colonel Zinke came to the front with the first group of paratroopers who landed in northern Burma and retook command of the 502nd Regiment's approximately 650 paratroopers, and Winters was temporarily promoted to his lieutenant for his outstanding performance.

Zink acted decisively, he wanted to launch an attack immediately, and asked the Chinese army to cooperate, but Zhou Youfu just refused to move. Zinke had to talk to the chief of Chu Ting, who believed that the time was ripe, and the front line observed that half of the enemy troops did not even have guns, but just a rabble. Chu Tingchang advised him not to be impatient, just wait until dawn, everything will be known.

Chu Tingchang's specious and pretending to be a clever virtue had already been learned by Zinker and Chu Tingchang when they discussed the battle situation together. He hated this oriental deceit, and regarded himself as an ignorant fool who needed to be seduced. But after he sent Stilwell a few telegrams, Stilwell actually defended Chu Tingchang every time, which made him very unhappy, but if Zhou Youfu's army did not cooperate, relying on his 650 people, he would not be able to defeat the real exchange at all, so he could only swallow his anger and let the troops rest first.

The direction of Sittwe City is surprisingly quiet, and there is no gunfire at all, which is unusual. The Burmese army has always had the problem of shooting into the sky after dark, giving themselves courage, but it stopped tonight.

Just near the original headquarters of the Japanese army, which was blown up by Xu Chong, the brothers Min Ang and Gang Ting agreed to meet and discuss the "overall situation of Rakhine", stipulating that only 20 people per person should be brought here.

Of course, the nature of the family is always in the same vein, and soon both sides found that the other party did not come 20 people, but hundreds of people. The two sides confronted each other in the open field, each setting up machine guns, but neither had the intention of making the first move.

In the afternoon, Min Ang relied on his three-inch incorruptible tongue to promise out more than a dozen major general ranks and a large amount of empty checks on money. Of course, the military rank can be given as he pleases, and he doesn't have money, but after he has decided to repel the allied forces, he will go and sweep the Rohingya villages, first rob the wealth, and then sell the men to the mines, and the women to the brothels in Yangon, and earn a vote. His official wish, sure enough, caught some people, but not everyone was on his side, especially the troops who followed him to Sittwe Port and were beaten back, thinking that the gods had given up on Minang.

The two sides confronted each other, but no one dared to fire the first shot.

Min Ang used a telescope to observe the opponent's formation, only to see a person on the other side walk out, waving his hands, as if to come over to convey Gangting's message. Perhaps Gang Ting wanted to end the fight with a one-on-one fight between commanders, as is customary, but that would be acceptable. He knew that his sword skills were stronger than his brother's.

The Chinese spies in the crowd found that the situation was not good, and if they solved the power problem in this way, the internal friction would be minimized, which was not what Chu Tingchang wanted to see the most.

Even if he is just an ordinary Chinese youth, he is rooted in Chinese civilization and knows how to stratagem, and his level of strategy is obviously much higher than that of the thousands of Burmese here. He knew that it was too late to inform the rear by radio at this moment, and he had to hurry up.

As the messenger reached the middle of the line of confrontation between the two armies, someone in Min'ang's army suddenly opened fire. The Messenger fell immediately. In the Burmese culture of fighting, it is absolutely not permissible to kill the intermediary who delivers the message, because it will inevitably lead to the abandonment of the gods.

Sure enough, Gangting's crowd was excited, and he soon began shooting. Min Aung was also about to track down the bastard's gun, and the other side had already fired, so he had to start organizing a counterattack.

The spy quietly withdrew from the battle line and ran out of the city, his companion had already drawn a map of the Burmese city and needed to inform the Allied command in a hurry.

Outside the city headquarters, Zhou Youfu waited with Erlang's legs crossed, he was not worried at all that the military seat plan would be miscalculated, he was just waiting for that moment to come. Zink paced back and forth, and he had already sent Stilwell a few telegrams to make small reports, hoping that Stilwell would put pressure on Chu Tingchang.

Suddenly remembering the gunshots outside, Zink hurriedly beckoned Adjutant Winter to check, and Zhou Youfu snuffed out a cigarette butt in the ashtray and finally smiled. He didn't need to look at it to know that the commander's plan was done.

Winters hurried back and whispered a few words beside Zink. At this time, Zhou Youfu got up.

"They fought on their own, you know?"

Zink ignored him, and ran outside to watch with a telescope, and sure enough, the city was full of fire, and gunfire came and went. Why do they beat themselves up? He really couldn't figure it out.

Zink turned his head and looked at Zhou Youfu in surprise.

At dawn, Tao Mingzhang came outside the city with a landing force of 4,000 people and 16 cannons. He was happy to visit Zinke and Zhou Youfu at the headquarters, he was now the division commander, and he could put a score in front of the regiment commander Lao Zhou, although Zhou Youfu commanded more troops than his.

At this time, there were still some gunshots in Sittwe City, but there were a lot of them. It looks like both sides are exhausted.

Tao Mingzhang entered the command headquarters and said hello to Winters, he spoke good English and could communicate with these Americans, there was no barrier. Together, they discuss their next steps, and Zink asks why the enemy would fight himself. He thought about it for hours, but he still couldn't figure it out. Tao Mingzhang smiled and didn't answer, just didn't reveal the details of putting Min Ang back, and deliberately gave the Americans a little frustration.

Zhou Youfu had a dark face and didn't speak, and he couldn't understand what they said. At this time, someone came in to report that the spies in the city had brought out the defense map, and another news brought by the spies was that the city was scattered and the soldiers on the defense line had no will to fight.

An hour later, the troops attacked, and the Burmese forces on the defensive line had lost their unified command, as neither commander could be found.

The attack is still carried out in a three-in-one way, so as to avoid the enemy from fighting the trapped beast. The occupation of Sittwe City is only a flank guarantee for the port, and there is no need to work too hard.

In the morning, men and horses from all walks of life successfully captured most of the city, and the casualties were very low. Near the enemy's headquarters, a large number of independent troops killed in infighting were found, and I didn't know if Min Ang and his cousin were inside, so it didn't matter, Zhou Youfu found a bulldozer and pushed the body into a big pit and buried it.
