Based on the current situation, it can be concluded that both Mizhina and Menle City have been occupied by the Japanese army. There is no news about the situation of the Yuanzheng Army and the British Army.
However, I still found out some good news. There is a post office in this town with a civilian radio station.
Xu Dalong was very happy after hearing this and immediately held a combat meeting.
He said to Li Changchun, the two battalion commanders, Gross and Wang Guoxiong: "The situation of the enemy troops at the foot of the mountain has become clear. Our food can only last one more day, and the wounded also need medical treatment.
My opinion is that we go to Jingma Town tonight, annihilate the Japanese and puppet troops in the town, seize the civilian radio station at the post and telecommunications station, and replenish daily necessities. Wait until you get in touch with your superiors before making any plans. "
Everyone heard that there were not many Japanese and puppet troops in the town, and Xu Dalong's special forces were here, so it shouldn't be a problem to capture the town, so they all agreed with Xu Dalong's opinion.
That evening, Xu Dalong, Li Changchun, Gross, and Wang Guoxiong led 280 coalition soldiers to the outskirts of the town and met with Monk Wei and others who stayed here to monitor.
Monk Wei said: "We have been monitoring the situation in the town, and the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops has not changed."
Xu Dalong nodded and began to assign combat tasks.
First, they sent several special operations team members to the roads at both ends of the town to monitor the situation on both sides of the road and block possible reinforcements from the Japanese army.
Xu Dalong and Wei Monk led the special forces to seize the town's gate, while Li Changchun and Gross led the remaining troops to wait in hiding outside the town.
After the tasks were assigned, the troops began to take action.
At 1 o'clock in the morning, seeing that the troops led by Li Changchun and others were ready to attack, Xu Dalong personally led several special forces members to prepare to eliminate the enemy's sentry and seize the town's gate.
The reason why Xu Dalong wanted to complete this task personally was because the coalition forces had just been formed and the first battle was very critical. If this battle can be successfully won, it will greatly improve the morale of the coalition forces, and at the same time it will establish Xu Dalong's prestige, making it easier to lead this patchwork force, so it must be foolproof.
At the gate of the town, there was a Japanese soldier and a puppet soldier standing guard.
The Japanese army was very vigilant and looked around.
The puppet soldiers actually wanted to be lazy, so they had to cheer up like him.
Under such circumstances, it was very difficult for Xu Dalong to approach them silently.
Xu Dalong saw that there was a wilderness near the entrance of the town, and it was impossible to approach them directly.
After observing for a while, he detoured from the fields and went directly into the town. Then he came to the gate and quietly approached the Japanese and puppet troops standing guard from behind.
Xu Dalong came to the gate, looked out from the door frame, and saw the Japanese and puppet army sentries less than 5 meters away from him.
He took out his Browning pistol, put a silencer on it, shot the devil in the back of the head, and then sprinted over.
The Japanese sentry fell down silently. The puppet sentry had not reacted for a moment. He looked at the fallen Japanese soldier in surprise. When he saw the fresh snow flowing out of the Japanese soldier's head, he became horrified. Want to shout louder.
At this time, Xu Dalong had already rushed behind him, reached out and covered his mouth, put the pistol against his temple, and said in English: "Don't move, I'll beat you to death if you do."
In Southeast Asia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Indu and other places are British settlements. English is one of their official languages and the vast majority of people can speak English. Although many people have average writing skills, they can still understand spoken language.
The sentry understood, and he did not dare to move at all, for fear that he would end up like the Japanese sentry next to him.
Xu Dalong escorted him out of the town. Several special forces members behind him immediately controlled the gate, disguised as sentries, and monitored the situation in the town.
Xu Dalong brought the puppet sentry to Li Changchun and others, asked him about the deployment of Japanese puppet troops in the town, and then told everyone what he learned.
Gross has already communicated with Xu Dalong and knows that his English level is very high. Li Changchun and others did not expect Xu Dalong to be proficient in English. Due to the propaganda of the Kuomintang reunification, in the minds of the Kuomintang officers and soldiers, the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces were called Tubal Road, which meant that they had a very low level of education.
Xu Dalong can speak Japanese, and even English. This completely subverts their impression of the underground party's anti-Japanese armed forces, and they admire Xu Dalong even more.
Xu Dalong drew a simple diagram on the ground with branches, explained their respective combat tasks to Wang Guoxiong, Gross, Li Changchun and others, and then led the team into the town.
According to the combat plan, Xu Dalong and Wei Monk led the special forces, together with 100 fruit soldiers led by Li Changchun, and first came to the Japanese barracks.
When they approached the Japanese barracks, the Japanese sentry noticed something unusual on the street and loudly asked for the password.
Xu Dalong raised his hand and shot the sentry to death, then led the team into the Japanese barracks.
Xu Dalong used a silent pistol. After the Japanese sentry was killed, it did not attract the attention of other Japanese soldiers in the barracks.
By the time the Japanese officers and soldiers heard the movement outside, it was already too late.
The special forces members and soldiers of the Guo Army kicked open the door of the room where the Japanese soldiers lived, and fired randomly inside.
Most of the Japanese officers and soldiers were asleep and went directly to see the King of Hell. The other soldiers had no time to resist and were shot to death.
Monk Wei led several special forces members to a house at the top. They kicked open the door and rushed in. Inside was a suite. When they started to search around, bullets were fired from a room, and one person was killed. The SWAT team member was shot in the shoulder.
Monk Wei threw a grenade into the room, annihilating the Japanese squad leader and one of his orderlies inside.
A small group of Japanese troops was completely wiped out in this way, and the special operations team member with an injured shoulder was the only coalition soldier injured during the attack on the Japanese troops.
Gross led the British soldiers and a battalion commander led 100 fruit soldiers. The battle was extremely smooth, with no casualties. He used the same method to annihilate a company of puppet troops in the town.
Wang Guoxiong led his men to capture the pseudo town hall and eliminated the self-defense forces inside. There were also no casualties in the battle.
After the battle, Monk Wei led several special operations team members to the post and telecommunications station. They broke open the door and found the civilian radio station.
Xu Dalong and others stayed in the town for more than an hour, left the town and returned to the temporary camp in the mountains with a large number of seized weapons, ammunition, food and other living supplies.
In this battle, the coalition forces annihilated a small group of Japanese troops, a company of Burmese puppet troops, and more than 20 members of the Self-Defense Forces. Only one special operations team member suffered a minor shoulder injury.
The officers and soldiers, especially the officers and soldiers of the Yuanzheng Army, had never fought such a happy battle, and everyone was very excited.
After seizing the civilian radio station, since Li Changchun did not have the code book to contact his superiors, Xu Dalong could only contact the domestic underground party superiors, who would then contact the Yuanzheng Army.
The underground party received the telegram from Xu Dalong and contacted Guofu, who in turn contacted Yuan Zhengjun. After several telegrams, the news finally came through.
The telegram stated that most of Myanmar has been occupied by the Japanese army, and most of the British and Yuanzheng Army troops have withdrawn to northern Myanmar.
There are also some Yuanzheng Army and British troops remaining south of Yangon City. The scope of their activities is approximately the Manan River area southeast of Yangon City. His superiors asked Xu Dalong to find and rescue these scattered British and Fruit Army troops, and bring them to northern Myanmar to meet with the Yuanzheng Army headquarters.
Xu Dalong, Li Changchun and others decided to accept the task assigned by their superiors, and then led the team towards Yangon City.
Xu Dalong and others did not understand the enemy's situation. In order to avoid encountering the Japanese army and causing unnecessary battles, they marched along the mountainous forest areas as much as possible.
This morning, Monk Wei, who was on a search mission at the front, heard gunshots coming from the front. He sent a special operations team member back and reported to Xu Dalong. He himself took other people to the front to conduct reconnaissance.
Monk Wei and others passed through a mountain forest and saw two British soldiers running on the hillside in front of them, followed by a group of Japanese and puppet troops. The two British soldiers only had one gun in their hands, and they turned around and fired from time to time to stop the pursuit of the Japanese and puppet troops.
When the British soldier turned around and raised his gun to shoot again, there was no bullet in the gun. He simply threw away the rifle and continued to run away.
The Japanese and puppet troops were chasing after them. They fired guns as they chased. One British soldier was shot and fell down. Another soldier looked back at him, shouted twice, and saw that his companion could no longer stand up. , he could only turn around and escape alone.
Monk Wei is hoping to understand the local situation. He must not let this British soldier be killed by the Japanese army again. He and his special forces members immediately opened fire at the Japanese and puppet soldiers who were chasing behind them, killing two Japanese soldiers and one puppet soldier on the spot.
The number of Japanese soldiers was not large, only about ten people in total. After encountering the attack, they did not dare to pursue them and hid. When they saw that there were not many people including Monk Wei and others, they fired and rushed towards Monk Wei and others.
After Xu Dalong received the report, he immediately rushed up with his troops. Seeing a battle taking place ahead, he immediately organized his troops to attack from the front and outflank them on both sides.
When the Japanese and puppet troops saw such a large force suddenly coming, they turned around and ran away in fright. Xu Dalong and others pursued them for a period of time and annihilated most of them. In the end, a few Japanese and puppet troops escaped by taking advantage of the complicated terrain.
The rescued British soldier was a machine gunner of the Huang Family 141st Regiment, and he provided the intelligence he knew.
The company of the British machine gunner was responsible for protecting a British medical team. After they were separated from the main force, they were chased and intercepted by the Japanese and puppet troops. In the end, the entire army was annihilated, and most of the officers and soldiers died in the battle.
He and more than 60 British officers and soldiers, including the British medical team, were captured by the Japanese army and imprisoned in a prisoner of war camp in front.
There were about 300 other British prisoners of war in the prisoner-of-war camp, and there were also some 400 soldiers from the Yuanzheng Army.
The location of the prisoner of war camp was a rubber plantation, and the prisoners of war were used as laborers to perform hard labor in the rubber plantation.
The British prisoner of war and his companions took advantage of the guard's unpreparedness while working, killed a guard, grabbed a gun and escaped.
Fortunately, he met the coalition troops, otherwise he would have been dead.
Xu Dalong and others asked the British prisoners of war about the situation of the Japanese defenders, but he could not explain clearly. As a prisoner of war, all he could see was the Japanese troops guarding them, including an infantry squad. As for whether there were other Japanese troops around, he did not know.
The British soldiers cried out about the inhumane treatment they suffered in the prisoner-of-war camp, and begged Xu Dalong, Gross and others to rescue the prisoners of war.
The task Xu Dalong accepted was to find the separated Yuanzheng Army and British soldiers. Of course, these prisoners of war must be rescued.
He checked the military map and saw that the prisoner of war camp was located near a county town, and judged that there must be Japanese and puppet troops stationed in the county town.
After discussion, everyone decided to camp temporarily in the nearby mountains and forests first, and then make plans after reconnaissance of the surrounding enemy situation.
Since several Japanese and puppet troops escaped just now, the appearance of Xu Dalong and others in this area will definitely attract the attention of the Japanese and puppet troops. They will most likely send troops to encircle and suppress them.
So Xu Dalong and others started a rapid march, walked more than 40 kilometers in one breath, found a mountain forest area far away from the town to hide, and then sent scouts to follow the British prisoner of war to detect the enemy's situation.
After two days of reconnaissance, the enemy's situation has been clarified.
In the prisoner-of-war camp, in addition to an infantry team guarding prisoners of war, there was a processing factory next to the rubber plantation, where an infantry team of the Japanese army was also stationed.
Due to the appearance of Xu Dalong and others, the Japanese army had just transferred an entire infantry brigade in order to strengthen the protection of prisoner of war camps and processing plants.
With this small number of coalition forces, it is absolutely impossible to deal with so many Japanese troops.
Faced with this situation, differences also arose among the coalition forces. Although everyone hoped to rescue the prisoners of war, seeing so many Japanese troops in this area, they were not sure at all. Therefore, some people suggested that we should ignore this prisoner of war camp and continue to search for the Yuanzheng Army or other British troops with the coalition forces.
Grosken disagreed. He heard that there were so many British officers and soldiers detained in the prisoner-of-war camp, and there was even a medical team. There were female soldiers there, and they might have suffered some inhuman treatment. He insisted on staying in the prisoner of war camp.
Xu Dalong, of course, could not ignore death, and he also agreed to attack prisoner of war camps. He is the temporary supreme commander of this force. He makes a decision, and everyone naturally has no choice but to obey, but privately everyone is not optimistic about it.
Xu Dalong checked the map carefully and came up with a battle plan.
