Chapter 377: The Special Envoy Arrives at Mawlamyin

On January 24, Li Junhao's envoy crew flew around North Africa to the port city of Mawlamyine in southwest Burma, but the situation here made his nose crooked - the Japanese army had not yet attacked, but the British army here had already retreated!

After the captain of the expedition contacted the tower, he finally understood the other party's words from his stumbling English, it turned out that it was rumored that the Japanese army was about to come from Thailand, and the British troops stationed here had basically withdrawn, and only a company of engineering troops was carrying out the task at the port.

The captain felt that the situation here was too dangerous, so he suggested that he immediately refuel and fly to the capital Yangon to find the main force of the British and Burmese army.

Li Junhao directly rejected the proposal, and ordered the 50 attachés who disembarked with him to immediately look for supplies for the plane at the airport, and the plane left immediately after refueling and flew to Kunming, China, to stand by; And asked Xiaoyu to immediately turn on the radio he carried, inform the embassy in China of his situation, and ask him to send someone to protect his three special planes - this is his last retreat, and he must protect it.

Because he remembered the situation of the first Burma campaign, he knew that it would take time for the Japanese army to fight, so he decided to take his men by land to see the terrain of Burma on the spot, so as to have a full understanding of the entire Burma battlefield.

More than an hour later, the three planes finished refueling and flew away under Li Junhao's strict orders.

Subsequently, Li Junhao went to see the aviation fuel depot at the airport and found that there were thousands of tons of aviation fuel stored here! Depend on! These British troops, just leave these here and leave them alone?

It was too late to sigh, he asked his attachés to be on guard everywhere, did it himself, and received tens of thousands of barrels of gasoline in the oil depot into the carry-on space, and then threw them out as incendiary bombs, and did not leave them to the little devils!

He then went to the hangar, released six armored vehicles, forcibly requisitioned two guides from the airport tower, and rushed to the dock by the sea with his attachés......

The situation on the street is a bit chaotic, many people are evacuating outside the city with their families, the convoy is not moving fast, Li Junhao, who is sitting in the armored command car, looks at the Burmese people outside, his face sinks like water, especially when he finds that many of them are Chinese faces, his heart is even more uncomfortable!

As the old Chinese saying goes: It is better to be a peace dog than a troubled person! Isn't it the truest portrayal in front of you!

Xiaoyu, who was sitting next to him, knew his mood and didn't know how to comfort him, so he could only hold his hand silently and tell him that he would always be with him.

Nick, who was sitting in the front row, didn't see this scene, but Avni, who was sitting in the back seat, had a flickering eye and a lot of feelings!

Li Junhao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that now is not the time to feel nostalgic, since he has come to this point, he must go on, even if it can reduce the loss of civilians by one percent or one thousandth in the process, it can be regarded as a success!

After another hour, six armored vehicles finally arrived at the dock, and there were still a few British soldiers standing guard at the gate of the dock for munitions.

Li Junhao knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, and immediately asked the guards guarding the door to run to the company commander of the engineer company, stop their actions, and tell them to gather and leave immediately, and the wharf and freight yard were taken over by the US military!

A moment later, the captain company commander of the British army sat in a jeep and saw the door - ho, it was still an American Wesley Jeep!

Seeing the American general in front of him, the British captain was startled, and Nick, who was already also a major, stepped forward and handed the document in his hand to the other party, and the position above was "Captain of the Security Guard of the Special Envoy of the President of the United States"!

Then it went very well, the British company commander heard that he could hand over the task and go first, so he immediately hurriedly agreed, sent someone to gather his subordinates, and handed over the master control detonator and high-power battery on the jeep to the guard company, and after more than 20 minutes, he hurriedly left with his subordinates in more than a dozen vehicles.

After taking over the dock warehouse and freight yard, Li Junhao walked in to take a look, and the scene he saw made him explode!

A large number of military aid weapons and materials sent by the United States with great difficulty are piled up in docks and warehouses, and even in open-air freight yards, with thousands of trucks, hundreds of jeeps, hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers, more than 200 tanks of various types, and nearly 100,000 light weapons, of which there are tens of thousands of the latest M1 Garand semi-automatic rifles alone.

These were originally to be sent to Lashio by rail, and then to Kunming through the Yunnan-Burma Highway to support China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, but they were forcibly detained by the British army for their own interests and not allowed to be transported by the Chinese side, and even drove away the material transportation coordination team sent by the Chinese side! And now the British army heard that the Japanese army was coming, and immediately retreated on their own, throwing these weapons and equipment on the dock and sending sappers to blow them up!

If it weren't for his arrival, these military aid materials worth millions of dollars would have been blown up and burned, and if there were any leftovers, they would have been captured by the Japanese army, and they would have become their weapons in South Asia!

In this respect, the British army is indeed too unreasonable!

Li Junhao remembered that in the history of his previous life, the British army was such a bastard in the first Burma campaign, and a large number of weapons and equipment and military aid materials would rather be lost to the Japanese than to the Chinese expeditionary force! It can be said that without their "support" for the Japanese army, the Japanese army would not have been able to fight so quickly and so fiercely in Burma, because they could not supply materials at home and could not get much useful things from the Burmese people.

In the end, tens of thousands of British troops and British expatriates entered the Japanese prisoner of war camps and were tortured

Li Junhao stepped forward to put away these weapons and equipment, and secretly gritted his teeth: These British people in Burma will not be able to rectify it! This may be the role of coming to Myanmar by yourself!

It took a lot of work, and he finally finished the work of storing these weapons and equipment, and he was tired and sweaty.

After a brief rest, Lee set off with his guards, leaving Mawlamyine and rushing to Yangon, the capital on the other side of the bay - he needed to make sure that the British army would also be in this defensive state against the important town of Yangon. He expects more military aid to be withheld there.
