Chapter 101 Caught a big fish?
Artillery duels often take a long time to determine the winner.

During this period, the infantry on both sides suffered.

Because they were bored, they could only look at the sky and count how many artillery shells were fired by both sides.

It was exciting at first, but gradually it became boring.

"Isn't it over yet?" Bu La asked boredly as he looked at the shells flying across the sky.

"It should still be early. I just came from the artillery company position. Their artillery shells are piled up as high as a mountain. I'm afraid they won't be able to fire them all today." Lin Yi, who was in charge of the frontline position, came to the second battalion's position, saw that no one was coming, and shook his head.

"You can't finish the game today? It seems like the winner won't be determined for a while." Bu La asked doubtfully.

"It's hard to say. There was a lot of noise over at the artillery company and I couldn't understand what they were saying, so I came back." Lin Yi shrugged and said helplessly.

"What are you arguing about?" Not only Bu La was curious, but everyone else was also curious. What was the quarrel about?

Is it because there are not enough artillery?
It shouldn’t be!

Judging from the bombardment just now, there were at least a dozen artillery pieces, which is a lot.

Not enough shells?

It’s even more impossible. They’re piled up like a mountain and we may not be able to light them up today.

"What else could it be? It's just because of the specific location of the Japanese artillery position." Lin Yi said, spreading his hands.

"Didn't Krupp say he was a professional? How could he still not find it?" Bula's doubts deepened.

"I don't know. Anyway, they said that the Japanese cannon's range was too far and it was definitely not within this range. I didn't listen carefully to the details." Lin Yi said that he didn't know either.

Hearing this, Bu La thought for a while and suggested.

"What do you think? How about I take a few people over there and see if we can find the Japanese artillery positions? I think with the radio and guidance, we should destroy the Japanese artillery positions."

Lin Yi looked at the other person in surprise. You know, crossing the river at this time is tantamount to committing suicide.

Both sides deployed secret sentries to keep a close eye on whether the other side was secretly crossing the river.

Once discovered, they were greeted with various artillery bombardments and machine gun fire.

Therefore, Bu La’s suggestion to bring someone over to touch the place was very risky.

The first thing to face is the risk of being discovered by the Japanese army.

Even if we cross the river safely, we still have to cross the Japanese blockade.

Finally, we found the Japanese artillery, and it would be even more difficult to escape back.

Basically, there is no chance of survival.

This was Lin Yi’s surprised expression.

"Don't look at me with that expression. Although I haven't read much, I know one thing: a gentleman will die for his friend." Bu La's words were like a thunderclap, shocking Lin Yi speechless.

"This matter needs to be reported to the regiment commander. Don't act on your own. You know the commander's temper. Even if you survive by chance, you will be shot." Lin Yi advised.

"I know. I'm just making a suggestion. You ask the commander. If possible, I will take my men to sneak over from downstream." Bu La didn't care about life and death at all. In his eyes, it seemed like a very normal thing.

Perhaps for these old-timers, life and death have long been disregarded, and living one more day is earned.

Not long after, Cun Yunsheng received a call from Lin Yi.

"It's not spicy, but it's quite courageous."

"Okay, I get it. Tell him that holding the position is the greatest achievement."

"The Japanese artillery positions won't last long."

"I asked you to go to the front line, so I asked you to keep an eye on them. Don't let them say anything that makes you waver. You have to make your own judgment, understand?"

"I know Bu La means well, but have you ever considered that crossing the river at this time is no different from committing suicide?"

"I want him to be the battalion commander and command the troops, not the captain of a death squad."

After cursing, Cun Yunsheng hung up the phone.

"Captain, not making it spicy is also a good intention. This kind of constant testing is really a waste of time." Meng Fanle felt that there was no need to scold like that. After all, the idea of ​​not making it spicy was also considered by the whole group.

"Good intentions? He is the battalion commander, not a death-defying captain. Besides, I just want to consume them." Cun Yunsheng sneered.

"I'd like to see how many shells the Japanese army has to spend."

"In the past three days, the Japanese army has fired at least 10 tons of shells, if not 20 tons?"

"This is not an ordinary artillery shell, but a heavy artillery that cannot be produced in Myanmar."

"So, every time the Japanese fired a round, they were consuming their stockpile."

"Even if the Japanese army captured a batch of British artillery, how many shells would they have? Wouldn't it be one less shell for each one fired?"

"How long does it take to ship it from mainland China?"

"I understand your thoughts. You think that shells are more valuable. If you can solve the problem with human lives, then use human lives."

"I tell you, human life is the most precious thing to me. When we run out of ammunition, we'll ask the Americans for more."

Cun Yunsheng's words left Meng Fan speechless.

Although it has been emphasized more than once that we should not care about the artillery shells, but for the cannon fodders who are used to being poor, such a luxurious way of fighting is really a bit of a waste.

It would be better to send a suicide squad to infiltrate. With luck, they might be able to find the Japanese position.

It doesn’t matter if we fail, we can just consider it as consuming the Japanese army’s ammunition.

Human life is worthless anyway.

This is a common idea among everyone.

Even if it was the Fifth Army, if the Sichuan Army had not defended Myitkyina, the wounded would have chosen to commit suicide and would never have fallen behind.

"Krupp told me earlier that if we give them a little more time, we can find the location of the Japanese heavy artillery. I told him not to worry too much, because it is the Japanese who are in a hurry now."

"The main force of the expeditionary force is gradually withdrawing back to the country. If the Japanese army cannot take Myitkyina, they will have to change their route. So as long as we keep on at it, we will win." Cun Yunsheng explained again.

Hearing this, Meng Fan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could find it, it would be fine.

"Where is Long Wenjian? Didn't that guy go looking for the spies in the city? It's been three days, and he hasn't found them yet?" Cun Yunsheng asked.

The Fifth Army had not yet entered Myitkyina, so Cun Yunsheng did not urge them.

Now that the main force of the Fifth Army has entered Myitkyina, if the spies in the city report their specific location to the Japanese, there will probably be considerable casualties once the Japanese bombers arrive. "Found it, it is said that a big fish was caught this time." Meng Fanle explained quickly.

"Big fish?" Cun Yunsheng was stunned. Are there big fish in this city?
"Well, they found that the temples in this city provided some support to those spies."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng's eyes lit up. He knew that the temples in Myanmar were very rich.

I was originally thinking of finding a reason to cause trouble for the temple, but I didn't expect the reason to be given to me. If I don't go, it would be a waste.

"Are you sure it's a temple? Were we mistaken?" Cun Yunsheng asked again.

When it comes to temples, there must be solid evidence, otherwise it will cause a lot of trouble.

Apart from anything else, the attack from the natives was enough to give him a headache.

Believe in the appeal of these Buddhist temples.

It was because the Japanese army looted the golden Buddha in the temple that they completely angered the natives.

So he must have a legitimate reason.

"It shouldn't be a mistake. If it weren't for the solid evidence, Long Wenjian would have led people to capture those spies long ago." Meng Fanle shrugged and said.

"Where is he now?" Cun Yunsheng asked.

"It should be in the Buddhist temple."

"Let's go and take a look together?"

"Aren't you going to discuss important matters with General Du Yuming?" Meng Fanle asked hesitantly.

"Let's talk about it when we get back." After saying that, he pulled Meng Fanle and walked outside.

At this moment, Long Wenjian outside the temple also had a headache.

I didn’t expect these spies to be so cunning that they actually set their gathering point in the temple.

If we rush in and arrest people without caring about the consequences, it will definitely cause a huge sensation.

After all, the temple is a sacred place for these indigenous people and will definitely have a great impact.

Moreover, the Sichuan Army still needs to develop in Myitkyina.

If the relationship between the two sides becomes too strained, the Sichuan Army will probably be unable to move forward.

This is the reason why he has not taken any action yet.

"Sir, the regiment commander is here." At this time, the subordinate whispered in Long Wenjian's ear.

"Commander." When Long Wenjian saw this scene, he hurried forward to report.

"Are they all in there? How many people?" Cun Yunsheng nodded and asked.

"There are probably more than a hundred people, but we don't know their specific weapons." Long Wenjian reported, "I have sent people in to investigate, and I believe we will know soon."

"No need to wait, just go in. The monks in the temple must have colluded with the Japanese. If you don't go in, your people will probably be doomed." Cun Yunsheng shook his head, then walked forward and kicked the door open.

"Search!"

Several monks stared at the kicked-open door in a daze. They couldn't believe it. Since the temple was built, no one dared to do this.

I didn't expect to meet you today.

When he saw that the other party was armed with guns, the monk held back what he wanted to say.

"Donors, this is a Buddhist temple, please go out." A monk stepped forward and said.

"It's okay, I'll go out after I finish searching." Cun Yunsheng said with a smile.

"One of my soldiers is missing. My subordinates told me that he has not come out since he entered the temple. You know, I am a person who especially cares for my subordinates."

"Just let me search once, and I'll leave if I find the person."

The monk was completely confused. Is this a valid reason?

How did he come up with such a shameless reason?
"Donor, the person you are looking for is not here." The monk advised again.

Now Cun Yunsheng looked at the other person with a cold face.

"I'm not discussing this with you, I'm informing you. I advise you to be sensible. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"Search."

"Anyone who dares to stop us will be executed on the spot."

Hearing this, all the soldiers loaded their guns and stared at the monks viciously.

Now the monks were completely panicked.

I could only watch helplessly as the other party searched the entire temple.

"Found it." Finally, the dying soldier was found in a room.

Looking at the scars on the other person's body and the bloodless face, Cun Yunsheng's face immediately turned cold.

"Catch all these monks for me."

"Donor..." The monk wanted to explain something, but then bursts of fierce gunfire were heard not far away, followed by the sound of a grenade explosion.

The monk's expression changed completely.

He knew it was over.

All the gathered volunteers and Japanese spies were discovered.

At the same time, he was very curious about how the other party discovered it.

"Now, what excuses do you have for quibbling? Catch them all and interrogate them thoroughly. You colluded with the Japanese army and plotted to murder the expeditionary force. Even you, a monk, are not pure in mind." Cun Yunsheng sneered and signaled his subordinates to take the people away.

At this time, the gunshots became weaker and Long Wenjian walked over happily.

"Commander, no one escaped, and we also seized a radio and a code book."

Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of a plan.

　Five more chapters! Tomorrow will continue! I think tomorrow's plot will make the temple suffer a lot. Besides, I haven't had dinner yet! I'm going to have dinner.
