Chapter 46 What awaits us is glory!
"If we want to play, we must play big. What's the point of playing small games? If we want American weapons and equipment, we must show some real skills and let the Allies see our value."
"Otherwise, why should we have priority over those direct troops in obtaining American equipment?" Although Cun Yunsheng's words were a bit harsh, they were the truth.
If a ragtag army wants to gain respect, it can only fight hard on the battlefield.
"The Japanese army is now invincible in the Burmese battlefield and has won every battle. If we can find the Japanese lair, then we will be the winner."
Cun Yunsheng gave a thumbs up.
"What is this? A hero!"
"When the time comes, we will be greeted with flowers and applause."
"Just think about it, what a glorious moment that was."
Cun Yunsheng's words made everyone feel elated, except Meng, who curled his lips in annoyance, thinking that his own leader had started to fool people again.
All along, Meng Fanle's mind remained clear and he could see through his own commander's tricks at a glance.
But just as Meng Fanle said, they are a bunch of grass-eating things, when have they ever been seen by others in a dignified manner?
The arrival of Cun Yunsheng made them realize how good it felt to be treated as a human being.
When Zenda set off, the people who came to see him off had eyes full of respect. It was a scene they would never forget.
Therefore, even though they knew that Cun Yunsheng was deceiving them, they were willing to do it.
"Commander, let's do it. Damn it, they are just a bunch of Japanese devils. There's nothing to be afraid of." Li Sifu gritted his teeth and said loudly with determination.
"Commander, I want to kill the Japanese and avenge my father." Lin Yi, who was always gentle and elegant, also said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"What are you looking at me for? When did the young master say he would quit? The Japanese only have three tricks. If we break them, the Japanese will be nothing." Meng Fanle said lazily.
Seeing this scene, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
These are his most trusted confidants. As long as he can convince them, he won’t have to worry about others.
"Commander, Dong Dao is back." Just as several people were discussing what to do next, Xue Tian came to report.
Seeing Dong Dao coming back, Cun Yunsheng asked.
"The Japs are coming?"
"Yes, Commander, your guess is right. That group of natives really went to contact the Japs. Dozens of Japanese soldiers appeared in the village just now." Dong Dao looked at Cun Yunsheng with eyes full of admiration.
"Ah? Just a few dozen people?" Hearing that there were only a few dozen people, Cun Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
I originally thought I could catch a big fish, but it turned out to be just a small shrimp. All my preparations went to waste.
"Commander, I originally thought there were only a few dozen people, but later I found something wrong. This group of Japs did not pursue us immediately, but turned back. Not long after, more than a hundred people came." Dong Dao finished speaking quickly.
"A squadron?" Cun Yunsheng's eyes lit up. At least it was not a small shrimp, but a small fish.
"Yes, nearly two hundred people." Dong Dao nodded.
"That group of devils are now following the footprints we left behind and are chasing us here. We estimate they will arrive in 20 minutes."
Hearing this, Cun Yunsheng was not panicked and looked at the few people.
"Orders, follow the predetermined plan, enter the ambush point, wait for my signal and then open fire, and try to wipe out the Japanese completely."
"Yes, Commander."
"Remember, no one is allowed to shoot first without my signal. Violators will be punished by military law." Cun Yunsheng said murderously.
"Yes." Everyone answered in unison. Soon, everyone entered the ambush point and lay in ambush. No one spoke, and even if snakes, insects, rats or ants passed by, they did not dare to make any noise.
"Here they come." Just as Cun Yunsheng was looking at his watch and estimating the distance of the Japanese army, Dong Dao's words made him stunned.
coming?
Didn't see anyone?
It’s no wonder he was confused. Even Lin Yi next to him was dumbfounded. Where was the enemy?
"Unlucky Star, are you too nervous? Where are the Japanese?" Meng Fanle glanced into the distance and then asked in a puzzled voice.
"No, they are coming. I can smell them." Dong Dao shook his head and said firmly.
"This is really ridiculous..." Before he could finish his words, Meng Fanle was dumbfounded. He heard a slight noise coming from the jungle in the distance.
"You're really here?"
I saw a Japanese sergeant and three soldiers walking out of the jungle in the distance. They moved very quietly but very vigilantly.
His eyes kept moving, not missing any suspicious place.
This time Meng Fanle was completely convinced. With this skill of identifying the direction by sound, he was definitely a talent.
Lin Yi next to him didn't say anything, but he was also impressed.
"This is the Japanese reconnaissance unit. These Japanese are really cunning. They even knew to send out a reconnaissance unit. I thought they had been blinded by the successive victories." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and said with regret.
If the Expeditionary Force had not entered Burma, the Japanese army might not have sent out a reconnaissance unit and would have just rushed forward recklessly.
After all, the weak appearance of the British army had been completely torn apart by them, and they did not take the British army seriously at all.
But the expeditionary force was different. Not to mention that the two sides had been fighting for several years and were familiar with each other, not to mention that those who were able to enter Burma to fight were all elite troops.
That's why the Japanese army was so cautious, fearing an ambush.
"Send a signal to Krupp, tell him to prepare for a fire strike one hundred meters ahead, tell him not to be reluctant to use his artillery shells, and to bomb these Japs hard." The original plan was that the Japs would rush into the ambush circle all at once, and then everyone would open fire together, and that would be the end of it.
Now it seems that it is not that simple. If we want to completely wipe out this group of devils, we must use some trump cards.
"Yes." The signalman responded immediately, and then retreated carefully. When he reached a certain safe position, he got up and trotted quickly.
"Sergeant, are we being too cautious?" a Japanese soldier couldn't help but say.
"Yeah, those Chinese may have withdrawn long ago."
"Be careful, those Chinese are too cunning." The sergeant shook his head. He had dealt with the Chinese army before and they were not easy to deal with.
After searching for a while and finding nothing wrong, the Japanese sergeant asked his subordinates to send a signal to the troops behind him.
As the command flag was waved, soon a Japanese squad of dozens of people appeared in everyone's sight.
Until now, the Japanese army has been very cautious and has only sent out a small team of dozens of people to act as the vanguard.
"Isn't this little Japanese too cautious?" Lin Yi said in amazement.
This was his first time on the battlefield, so he said this.
"Captain Ayi, the Japs are not fools. If they really charge in a group foolishly, no matter how many people there are, there will not be enough bullets to kill them. The Japs are not as weak as we think." Meng Fanle still had that venomous look on his face.
"Commander, what should we do? Should we open fire?"
"Wait a little longer." Cun Yunsheng shook his head and then looked up at the sky.
