Chapter 88 My dear ones, I have finally waited for you to come!

Due to the volunteer team's propaganda, the Chinese in Tangji packed up their luggage and began to flee.

Looking at the long line of refugees, Cun Yunsheng sighed lightly. These people were forced to leave their homeland because of the war.

Maybe they have no idea what they will face on this trip.

But still follow without hesitation.

Just because the Sichuan Army can guarantee their lives safety.

Such a humble request made Cun Yunsheng feel very uncomfortable.

I would rather be a dog in peacetime than a man in troubled times.

In troubled times, people are worse than dogs.

Just a simple promise and they were determined to follow.

"Let the third battalion cover the retreat and try to help the refugees. I leave this to you. Ensure the safety of the refugees. There are other things waiting for me to solve ahead." Cun Yunsheng thought for a moment and gave the order again.

"Yes, Commander." Lin Yi nodded.

Cun Yunsheng led the guard company to the front of the team, because the closer they got to Lashio, the greater the possibility of encountering the Japanese army.

He must always understand the enemy situation and make the best judgment.

After all, he now has more than 2,000 soldiers from the Sichuan Army on his shoulders, as well as thousands of refugees.

So he must be vigilant at all times.

"Commander, there is a small town ahead with about three thousand natives. How do we get there?" When Li Liansheng saw Cun Yunsheng coming over, he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a brief introduction of the situation here, then asked.

Cun Yunsheng did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.

It’s not that the small town in front of him gave him a headache, but that he didn’t want to alert the enemy.

There is no doubt that there are indigenous people in this town who have defected to the Japanese army.

As soon as he left, someone would definitely report their situation to the Japanese army.

That will cause even bigger trouble.

If we were to say which unit of the Expeditionary Force is the most hated by the Japanese army, it would probably be the Sichuan Army.

After the Japanese army entered Burma, most of their defeats were caused by the Sichuan Army.

It was the Sichuan Army that destroyed the most Japanese troops.

It can be said that the Sichuan Army was the number one enemy of the Japanese army.

So there is no doubt that when the Japanese army knows the specific location of the Sichuan Army, they will definitely dispatch heavy troops to encircle and intercept them.

Not to mention, the Sichuan Army is now dragging a long line of refugees.

These refugees are not soldiers, so walking dozens of kilometers a day is no problem.

They had to rest every ten kilometers they walked, and with the presence of many women and children, their marching speed was greatly reduced.

Some people have proposed abandoning these refugees and forcing a march around Lashio to Myitkyina.

However, Cun Yunsheng refused, as he believed that these refugees were all Chinese and compatriots.

When the country was in danger, they donated money and supplies. Now that they are in trouble, we naturally cannot just ignore them.

"Commander, I would say we should just charge straight ahead. A small town of 3,000 people can be taken with just one charge even if there are Japanese troops stationed there." Meng Fanle said shamelessly.

The truth is this.

However, Cun Yunsheng shook his head and rejected his proposal.

At this time, Long Wenjian said sinisterly.

"Commander, I have a plan."

"Oh? What are your plans? If you have anything to say, come on." Cun Yunsheng said unhappily.

"Didn't we seize a batch of Japanese military uniforms when we broke out before? I think we can disguise ourselves as Japanese soldiers. In this way, those natives might mistake us for friendly forces." Long Wenjian suggested.

"Yes, this is a good plan. If we encounter the British army, we can also... cough cough cough..." Meng Fanle was kicked before he could finish his words.

Cun Yunsheng glared at him, regardless of the occasion?
Can you say anything?
Didn’t you see Steve and the others not far away?

If they hear this, we will be in big trouble.

Killing friendly forces is a very serious crime.

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Meng Fanle didn't dare to say anything more. He just curled his lips, feeling a little unconvinced. Isn't what I said what you were thinking?

Humph, how could I not know you?
He was always thinking about how to trick the British army.

"Dead dead, your plan is good. I'll give you a credit." Cun Yunsheng gave Long Wenjian a thumbs up and praised him.

"Commander, I just said it casually." Long Wenjian said modestly.

"Okay, I'm still showing off after praising you a few times."

"Li Liansheng immediately had people change into Japanese military uniforms and raise the Japanese flag. From now on, we are the Japanese army. Is there anyone who can speak Japanese?"

"Forget it, let Sun Yunfei pick a few people who can speak the native language, and let them be responsible for communicating with the natives." Cun Yunsheng thought that the only person who could speak Japanese was Lin Yi, who was still maintaining order in the back, so he simply asked Sun Yunfei to pick a few local Chinese and let them be responsible for communication.

Isn't it normal for the Japanese army to carry a few translators?

The small town in front of us has a population of more than 3,000 people, most of whom are local indigenous people.

After the Japanese army occupied Lashio, they ordered Aung San's volunteer army to contact indigenous people in various places and let them rise up against the British army.

Therefore, this small town had already been instigated to rebel at this time. After all, it had been oppressed by the British army for hundreds of years. Now that they could finally drive away the British army, they were naturally extremely happy.

When they were about a few hundred meters away from the town, the soldiers of the First Battalion, disguised as Japanese soldiers, encountered dozens of natives.

When these natives saw them, they were not afraid but very excited.

He even took the initiative to step forward and shouted in broken English, "Sir, are you troops from Japan?"

When Cun Yunsheng in the team saw this scene, he couldn't help but curl his lips. As expected, these natives really defected to the Japanese army.

But this is not surprising, after all, the Japanese army’s flag was to rescue Myanmar.

Looking at the excitement and anticipation on the faces of the natives, Cun Yunsheng didn't want to dampen their enthusiasm, so he signaled Meng Fan to leave.

Meng Fanle immediately understood what Cun Yunsheng meant and spoke in fluent English.

"Yes, we are the Japanese army, and we are here to help you."

Upon hearing this, the natives cheered instantly, and some even came forward and surrounded them enthusiastically, introducing this and that to them.

The people who had already been reminded by Cun Yunsheng remained silent, which made the natives more convinced that the army before them was the Japanese army.

Because only the Japanese army has such strict military discipline.

"My dear ones, we have been waiting for you for so long. We have been waiting so hard." The leading native came forward and shook Cun Yunsheng's hand, saying excitedly.

Looking at the other person's mouth full of yellow teeth, he almost felt sick.

Especially the next words of the native made him almost unable to resist drawing his gun and killing the other party.

"When the British heard that the Heavenly Soldiers had occupied Lashio, they immediately packed up and fled."

"I guessed it, it must be the heavenly soldiers coming, and sure enough, I've been waiting for you to come. Welcome, now that you're here, we're saved."

"You are our saviors. The British have bullied us a lot over the years."

The native in front of him held Cun Yunsheng's hand and kept complaining, which made him very embarrassed for a moment.

It is obvious that the British Army has given them a lot of trouble over the years, otherwise why would they be so happy when the Japanese Army attacked?
Isn't it just thinking that the mountain pressing down on your head is gone?

Little did they know that after everything settled down, the Japanese army became several times more brutal than the British army.

At that time they began to miss the British rule again.

I can only say that people are mean.

If the natives in front of him were not of some use, Cun Yunsheng would have shot them to death long ago.

It's really disgusting.

Especially with that mouth full of yellow teeth and the foul smell, he felt like he would have no appetite for the next few days.

"My dears, are these the British weapons you captured?" The natives said with some envy as they looked at the weapons and equipment in front of them.

Although they had captured a number of Japanese uniforms, they really had no weapons and equipment, so they still carried American equipment.

It was this point that caused the natives to have some doubts.

"Oh, this is what we captured from the British army. We ran a long distance and didn't have enough ammunition. Plus, the British army discarded so many weapons, so we used these." Cun Yunsheng's words were flawless.

"You are awesome! You are indeed heavenly soldiers. Even the powerful British army was defeated by you." The natives echoed.

To be honest, Cun Yunsheng's performance was very aggrieved, especially the other party's series of disgusting words, which gave him goosebumps.

If he didn't need these guides, he really wanted to shoot this guy dead.

"We need to pursue the British army and the expeditionary force now. I wonder if you have seen it?" Cun Yunsheng tried his best to communicate with the natives in English.

Upon hearing this, the native immediately told him excitedly what he knew about the whereabouts of the defeated soldiers of the expeditionary force.

If they hadn't had weapons, they would have chased after and destroyed these enemies long ago.

What they meant was that they hoped the Japanese army could give them some weapons and equipment.

The natives said they could provide some supplies.

In order to show his sincerity, he even asked people to go back to the town to bring out eggs, pancakes, corn, potatoes and other food.

Cun Yunsheng's eyes widened when he saw this, and he even envied the Japanese army.

He was obviously here to be a robber, but the treatment he received was completely different.

This bunch of traitors not only delivered food but also led the way.

What about them?
Forget about food, the natives avoided them as if they were enemies.

It would be good enough if we don't cheat them.

Forget about leading the way.

"Sir, we know a secret base of the British Army, but the entrance to that base is too solid. Even with explosives, we can't blow it open." The native broke another shocking news, which made Cun Yunsheng open his mouth wide.

What exactly did the British army do that angered God and the people?
Why did these natives do this to them?
Even the so-called secret base is known?
After asking, we found out that when this secret base was built, a lot of people were specially recruited from the town. In the end, only a few of them went back, and the others disappeared.

Later, when the Japanese army arrived, the British army directly blocked the entrance to the base.

The natives had no explosives, so it was impossible for them to open the entrance.

"Commander, could it be an armory?" Meng Fanle whispered in his ear.

"It's possible, but it's just an arsenal, there's no need to silence them, right?" Cun Yunsheng frowned slightly.

To be honest, he has no shortage of arms now.

If nothing else, the weapons and equipment that Goldfinger brought were enough to equip another battalion.

Not to mention that when he arrives in Myitkyina, Stilwell will prepare a large amount of American equipment for him.

So he really has no shortage of equipment.

"Are you suspecting that there are other things in the base?" Meng Fanle immediately came to his senses.

"Maybe it's a gold mine or something. After all, there are quite a lot of gold mines here." Cun Yunsheng said casually.
