Chapter 44 Kill two birds with one stone!
"Are there other people in the village?" Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly when he heard Shepig's report.
"Chinese?"
"No, it seems to be a group of natives." Snake Butt shook his head.
This time Cun Yunsheng's heart skipped a beat. He didn't have a good face towards these natives.
This was because in order to control Myanmar, the Japanese army supported a puppet army of over 10,000 people, commanded by Aung San.
This guy was an accomplice of the Japanese army and killed more than a thousand expeditionary troops.
The indigenous people in each village were accomplices of the Japanese army, responsible for providing them with intelligence and supplies.
This is why in the original book, Milong and others were mistaken for friendly forces by the Japanese army and were not attacked because their plane was shot down and they were wearing indigenous clothes.
It can be said that most of the natives were accomplices of the Japanese army. For a moment, Cun Yunsheng's eyes showed a hint of murderous intent.
"Captain, is there any problem?" Snake Butt also felt that something was wrong with Cun Yunsheng and asked in a low voice.
"Bring all those natives here to me, and tell the brothers who are escorting them to be careful of any trap." Cun Yunsheng did not answer, but ordered people to escort all the natives here.
Although he didn't understand Cun Yunsheng's actions, Shepi still followed orders very well.
"Commander, do you suspect there is something wrong with the natives?" Lin Yi asked doubtfully.
"It's not a suspicion, but there must be a problem. I was originally wondering why this village is still intact given the brutality of the Japanese army. Now I can be sure that these natives are accomplices of the Japanese army." Cun Yunsheng said calmly.
"Isn't this too hasty? How about sending someone to investigate?" Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, felt that it was still a bit hasty, and offered his own suggestion.
"When have you ever seen the Japanese army being merciful? They didn't even harm a single person? Are they still the Japanese army? Other than being friendly forces, I can't think of any other reason." Cun Yunsheng looked at Lin Yi and continued.
"For us, we came to drive out the Japanese army, but for the indigenous people, we may not be just, after all, they are still nominally a colony of the British army."
"They were not an independent country, but the slogans raised by the Japanese army helped them break away from the control of the British army."
Lin Yi was not a fool. He reacted almost instantly. He broke out in a cold sweat and said with some fear.
"Commander, according to what you said, we not only have to face the Japanese army, but also have to guard against those natives?"
"Yes, those who are not of our race must have different hearts. Be careful. Since we set foot on this land, don't trust anyone other than our own people." Cun Yunsheng reminded again.
"Yes, Commander." Lin Yi felt a little scalp-numbing. He really didn't expect that there were so many complicated relationships involved.
No wonder Cun Yunsheng said that Yu Xiaoqing would face a hellish situation.
Now it seems that it is not a lie.
Not only did they have to face the Japanese army, but they also had to guard against the British army abandoning their allies and the indigenous people stabbing them in the back.
This situation is really frustrating.
Soon, more than thirty natives were brought in front, surrounded by soldiers from the guard company armed with live ammunition.
According to Cun Yunsheng's orders, as soon as anything was found wrong, they had to open fire immediately and suppress everyone.
"Everyone, don't be afraid. We are the expeditionary force and we are here to help you drive away the Japanese." Cun Yunsheng said in a deliberately derogatory tone.
The reason why he did not use the indigenous language was because he knew that the business exchanges between China and Myanmar were very close, so ordinary people here could speak Chinese.
At the same time, the purpose of belittling the Japanese was to test the reactions of these people.
As expected, when a few people heard what the Japanese said, their emotions changed significantly.
Taking all this in, Cun Yunsheng continued speaking calmly.
"Those are the Japs. We have wiped them all out." He said, pointing at the piles of Japanese corpses.
This caused even more commotion, and many of the natives had expressions of disbelief in their eyes.
The Japanese soldiers who seemed like heavenly soldiers in their eyes were all dead.
The Japanese army was invincible and forced the British army to retreat step by step. So in the eyes of the natives, the Japanese army was a god sent from heaven to save them.
The results of it?
It was somewhat unbelievable for them that they were all killed.
"These bastards actually defeated the heavenly soldiers." A native cursed in a low voice in his native language.
This sentence instantly caused the face of a soldier next to Cun Yunsheng to change drastically.
In order to prevent the natives from communicating in their native language, Cun Yunsheng specially called a soldier who could speak the native language and asked him to stand beside him and provide translation at any time.
"Commander, he is cursing us."
Cun Yunsheng nodded, his facial expression did not change at all, and he continued to speak in a friendly manner.
"If you know where the Japanese are hiding, please let us know. We are here to help you drive them away."
After saying this, Cun Yunsheng waved his hand to signal to let them go without waiting for the natives to react, and ordered the troops to withdraw from the village immediately.
"Commander, why is this happening? Why are you withdrawing for no reason?" This move puzzled even more people.
"Yeah? Didn't you say to take a break?"
"correct."
"Do you want to die or live?" Cun Yunsheng's words shocked them.
"Commander, are you saying that there is something wrong with these natives?" Meng Fanle didn't change much and immediately guessed what Cun Yunsheng meant.
"That's right. When I mentioned the Japanese just now, some people in the crowd became very excited and even cursed us in the native language. They wished we would die, so I suspect these people have channels to contact the Japanese." Cun Yunsheng's eyes showed a hint of cruelty.
In fact, if he hadn't found a reasonable reason, he would have wanted to have these natives shot to death long ago.
But doing so would only alienate his subordinates.
After all, in their eyes these natives are just ordinary people.
Killing innocent people indiscriminately will only cause resentment among your subordinates.
But if it is found that they are accomplices of the Japanese army, no one will have any objection.
"Are you planning to let them lure the Japanese here and then capture them all in one fell swoop?" Meng Fanle's eyes lit up and he guessed.
"That's right. We will leave the village soon. Dong Dao will leave a few people nearby to see if those natives are going to contact the Japanese army."
"The second and third battalions, along with the transport company and logistics, will go first. The first battalion and the guard company will stay. Let's set an ambush and see if we can catch the big fish." Cun Yunsheng nodded and immediately began to arrange combat tasks.
As expected, as the Sichuan Army left, the natives could no longer hold back, and several of them ran in the opposite direction. It was obvious that they were going to inform the Japanese army.
"These bastards are truly the accomplices of the Japanese." Meng Fanle and others gritted their teeth after receiving the news. They came to help the other side drive away the Japanese army, but in the end the other side fought fiercely with the Japanese army.
It's really a waste of my sincerity.
"Now it depends on the weight of these natives in the eyes of the Japanese army." Cun Yunsheng was not annoyed at all. In his eyes, these natives must die. The only thing that interested him was how many Japanese devils could come.
