The food collection work was actually very easy and simple under Meng Shaoyuan's arrangements.
It's just that Tang Yufu's journey was a bit more difficult.
Most of the villages in Myanmar are relatively remote and the roads are not that easy to travel.
Many times, one day is not enough time for a round trip.
For example, Maimei.
It is true that it is a big village.
The problem is, to get there, start collecting food, and fight against the die-hards, it is estimated that even three or four days will not be enough.
Meng Shaoyuan assigned five guards to Tang Yufu.
And he was specifically told not to spend the night in the village to ensure safety.
The person responsible for protecting Tang Yufu's safety is a squad leader named Ke Quan.
He participated in all the battles in the defense of Tonggu and performed very bravely.
There was also a translator named Dong Chengcai, an overseas Chinese. After the advance camp arrived, he took the initiative to act as translator for them.
The people of Maimei have some resistance to the grain requisition.
Tang Yufu is very experienced and uses both coercion and inducement.
He even took out an "IOU" stamped with a British seal.
It is stated that this is a requisition of grain, but it is also a "borrowing of grain".
Once the Japanese troops are defeated, the temporarily "borrowed" food must be returned in full.
If most places in Myanmar are currently pro-Japanese, then some areas are pro-China and pro-British.
Mai Mei is a typical Anglophile.
To be honest, the British people contributed a lot to the development of this village to its current scale. They frequently conducted transactions here, which also boosted the local economy.
Therefore, despite his inner resistance, after Tang Yufu's repeated persuasion, he finally agreed to raise food as soon as possible and deliver it to Mei Miao within the time specified by the British.
Tang Yufu's mission is more than half completed.
It was getting dark, and it was definitely too late to go back.
Tang Yufu kept Meng Shaoyuan's words in mind and did not spend the night in the village. Instead, he spent the night in the nearby woods.
Ke Quan arranged sentries for the first half of the night and the second half of the night.
The Japanese army is still far away from Meimiao, and the Japanese special forces and local guerrillas here have also been eliminated.
In terms of safety, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
But what Tang Yufu and Ke Quan didn't know was that from the moment they entered Maimei, the wolf's eyes had been fixed on them!
A food collection team entered Maimei.
Shihogo received the news immediately.
The commander of the "Mei Miao Advance Army" was also very courageous. In order to avoid overshooting his target, he entered Mei Miao alone.
Shihogomi, who arrived at Meimiao, quickly contacted the remnants of the guerrillas.
Moreover, these guerrillas contacted a group of local pro-Japanese elements.
Shihogo sees that he still has some abilities.
In the process of demagogueing these people, he gave each of them a job in the future Burmese government.
This ability cannot be fulfilled, and Shihogo is not sure at all.
But these Burmese people believed it all.
They were originally pro-Japanese, and coupled with the temptation of high-ranking officials and generous salaries, they joined the "Mei Miao Jin March" with almost no time to think.
Weapons are also very poor.
The Japanese army did not occupy Meimiao, and the transportation of supplies was very difficult.
Most of the previous guerrillas were wiped out, leaving only a few rifles and two grenades.
As for Shihogo, he only carried a pistol and four grenades with him.
Shihogo saw that he was still not worried. He directed these troops to advance and made a batch of home bombs.
He just wanted to use these pitiful weapons and equipment and a dozen home bombs to create a "miracle".
Those who advanced into the army blended into Mai Mei.
They were all locals from Meimiao, so they were mixed in and could not be distinguished at all.
Therefore, as soon as the food collection team arrived at Maimei, Shihogo knew it immediately.
He decided to take action to give the "Mei Miao Ting March" a good start and boost morale!
The scariest thing is not how powerful the troops are, but how familiar the locals are with the terrain.
Just like the Japanese army, led by Burmese traitors, sneak attack on Donggu Airport, the expeditionary force on that small road didn't even know it existed.
They know this place inside and out.
They knew exactly where to pass, where to spend the night, and even where to find bear traps.
A hunting plan has been quietly formed.
Late at night.
In the woods, apart from the sound of swaying branches, there were only a few unknown wild beast calls occasionally heard.
The "Mei Miao Marching Army" quietly approached.
They were all barefoot and made no sound when they stepped on the ground.
And even late at night, with their eyes closed, they can still figure out the way.
The figure of the sentry was vaguely seen.
Shihogomi, who was barefoot like the locals, stopped the group.
With the help of the moonlight passing through the woods, Shihogomi made a quick judgment.
He reached out and took out a grenade first.
Then, the people around him took out grenades and bombs one by one.
The local man named Awang took a few steps forward.
He is a famous local hunter and a famous marksman.
He took out a blowpipe, observed the position of the sentry, and blew hard.
"Whoosh"!
The blow dart accurately hit the sentry.
The arrows are coated with poison, and even if a wild boar is hit, it will be poisoned to death in an instant.
The Sentinel couldn't react at all.
As he fell to the ground, his finger was on the trigger of his rifle.
As long as he was given a few tenths of a second, gunshots would ring out.
It's a pity that he doesn't have even this time.
But the sound of him falling to the ground instantly woke up Ke Quan, who had been half asleep.
"There is a situation."
Ke Quan got up in a hurry.
He quickly picked up the gun at hand.
At the same moment, Shihogomi also made a timely decision.
The sound of falling to the ground is relatively loud. If the opponent is a soldier who has experienced many battles, he will definitely be awakened.
"superior!"
Shihogo was the first one to rush out.
After rushing forward for more than ten steps, gunfire rang out from the opposite side.
Seeing that there was no hesitation, Shihogo threw the grenade with all his strength.
Immediately, everyone around him threw grenades and bombs out.
"Boom" explosions kept coming.
The Burmese people rushed forward with shouts of "ouch".
The attack came too suddenly.
Ke Quan, who was lying in a pool of blood, made a "wuwu" sound from his mouth, seemingly telling Tang Yufu to run away!
That's too late.
This bomb knocked down three guards including Ke Quan on the spot.
The remaining people, in the dark, had no idea where the enemy came from.
There are people everywhere.
Tang Yufu struggled to kill an enemy. When he was about to shoot again, a heavy object hit him in the head.
Tang Yufu fell to the ground.
It was a short battle.
Shihogo glanced at the corpses on the ground: "Take away the living people and evacuate immediately! Take away all the weapons, their weapons!"
This was the first attack Shihogomi commanded after he was promoted to the "Meimiao March", and he succeeded.
Chinese? The most powerful agent on the planet? That’s all!
