You can imagine Liao Mingyu's mood when he got this telegram. These people are not here to fight. They are not the first to get into trouble.
Those British men are really idiots. The entire 77th Brigade, with more than 7,000 people, was actually surrounded by a Japanese regiment in the valley. Instead of trying to break out, they sat there and waited for death, hoping to be rescued by reinforcements.
It is completely conceivable that if there are still no reinforcements in a day or two, they will definitely raise their hands and surrender after they have exhausted their food.
"map!"
"Come on!" Kaname quickly took out the battle map from the roll bag he carried with him.
Liao Mingyu got out of the car directly, spread the map on the front of the jeep, and used a ruler to measure the location based on the coordinates provided by the telegram.
"South 238, West 122...where is this place? If you want to, bring me that guide."
"yes!"
Kaname turned around and ran away. Before coming, they specially found a local aboriginal to be their guide. In this vast jungle, if there was no familiar person to guide them, it would be difficult to find the right direction even with a map.
After a while, Kaimabian came over with a skinny, middle-aged man with dark skin and a bare upper body. He was a hunter from a tribe of the Kachin tribe in Nankan. He had been active in the mountains and forests of northern Myanmar for a long time and knew the terrain here well.
The guide picked up the map and looked at it carefully. After a while, he began to chatter to himself. Through the translation of a soldier from western Yunnan who knew Kachin, everyone learned about the situation there.
"Haha, it turns out that this is a valley, and we actually chose such a perfect place." Liao Mingyu sneered again and again, his words full of ridicule.
The British 36th Brigade is located in a valley outside Kahun Town in the southwest of Myitkyina. I don't know what they thought they actually got into it.
The ignorant British thought they had found an excellent defensive stronghold, but unexpectedly the Japanese did not attack, blocking both ends and wasting them.
I heard from the guide that there are cliffs on both sides of the place. If you want to get in and out, there are only two sides of the valley mouth. It is impossible to fly because of the little devils.
It is not that the British army has not organized a breakout, but their combat effectiveness against the five scum is really not enough in the eyes of the Japanese. They lost many troops, not to mention that the top commander of the army, Brigadier General Norrington, was seriously injured in the bombing.
"Um, Junzao, do we want to save those foreign men?"
Seeing Junza-sama staring at the map for a long time without responding, Kaname couldn't help but ask questions.
"What the hell, uncle! A bunch of useless trash are not worth wasting bullets for me!" Unexpectedly, Liao Mingyu opened his eyes angrily and shouted loudly, directly making his attitude clear.
Hearing this, he was relieved. From the bottom of his heart, he was not willing to go to the rescue. He didn't have a good impression of those disgusting British guys.
Although Americans are loose and frivolous and focus on profit, they are still working hard. What about the British? His mind is full of red wine and afternoon tea, and he doesn't even look like he is fighting. He is always aloof and never pays attention to people of other races except white skin. When nothing happens, he pretends to be an uncle. When something happens, he becomes a grandson. What to save them?
Although Liao Mingyu had expressed his stance, his eyes stayed on the map for a long time, with a serious expression and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Everyone obeyed the order, changed the marching route, and set off from east to west towards Cajon. Dong Dao and Zhang Liu led the security battalion in front to provide the troops with reconnaissance intelligence."
"yes!"
"clear!"
Dong Dao and the others immediately responded and went to organize the troops for action without saying a word.
This scene confused Kaname. Before he could react, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Kyunza... didn't you say you wouldn't save them?"
"Who said I was going to save people? Have you seen this? This location is only ten kilometers away from the little devil's Manmei Railway, and you haven't thought about doing anything?"
Liao Mingyu pointed to a point on the map and said confidently that although the British were tactically "unscrupulous", from a strategic point of view it was not undesirable to attack Cajon Town. If they could win it, they could further curb the Japanese supply line.
Now the movements of various troops around Myitkyina are clear. Except for their team that just went north from Nankan, the Japanese would never expect that a troop of several thousand people would suddenly appear behind them to steal chrysanthemums. This is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Chance.
Compared to the ultimate goal, the life and death of the British is not important at all, and there is still a coalition there. Isn't it unreasonable not to eat the fat on the lips?
…
The distance of thirty kilometers is not too far. Under the leadership of the guide, the advance reconnaissance team composed of the guard battalion arrived near the town of Cajon in half a day.
In order to avoid exposing his whereabouts, Dong Dao only led one platoon to serve as the vanguard of the entire army. The other guard battalion soldiers were broken into pieces and roamed around the large army to eliminate dangerous enemy situations around them.
The town of Cajon is surrounded by mountains, and there are only a few small trails for entry and exit. It was originally just an inconspicuous small village in the forest, but it became an important stronghold of the Japanese because of the railway line.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance team squatted quietly on the nearby hillside. From the heights, there were faint signs of Japanese soldier activities in the town. The railway line was in a low-lying area a few miles away from the town.
After observing for a long time, Dong Dao found that their strength here was no more than one squadron, but there were not only Japanese soldiers, but also a large number of British prisoners detained here.
Those British soldiers were locked in wooden houses. Japanese soldiers kept pulling them out and tying them to wooden stakes outside and tortured them in front of everyone. It was unknown if they were to get information from the prisoners of war. Or simply just want to have fun.
There are still some corpses piled up in the open space outside the town that were too late to be disposed of. Several heads were stuck upside down on bamboo sticks. Anyone who dared to show any hostility or resistance would be brutally tortured. This is how the Japanese showed themselves. The force and brutality can also scare the captives so that they cannot resist at all.
Those prisoners who were tortured beyond human dignity were either decapitated in the end, or became targets for new recruits to practice assassination. The rest could only hide in the cage tremblingly, allowing these beasts to do whatever they wanted to their comrades.
Even if they were standing on the mountain, the soldiers in the guard camp could hear the miserable screams of the British soldiers and the arrogant and sinister laughter of the Japanese.
This feeling is so depressing that it makes people suffer. Although they are not their own compatriots, they can somewhat empathize with this scene. The little devil has committed more crimes against the Chinese people than this.
"Battal Commander, what should we do? Should we notify the larger troops to come around and kill these little Japanese?" A soldier quietly moved over and asked.
