Mandalay, located in the south-central part of Myanmar, is the traffic pass of the Myanmar Railway, in the railway that runs through Myanmar, Mandalay stuck in the middle, the location is very important, it is the key point of transportation, and it is also the transit point of material transportation.
The transportation industry once made this Burmese city extremely developed, and various commercial and trade economies were also stimulated.
However, a few days ago, the original land was shattered by a surprise attack by the Japanese army, which raided southern Burma, and Mandalay, in the middle of Burma, inevitably fell into the panic of war.
Myanmar, Mandalay Station The Mandalay station, which was supposed to be orderly, has now become very chaotic, with a mix of Burmese coolies carrying goods, Indians driving people with whips, Anglo-Burmese soldiers on guard, Burmese traders trying to sneak into the station, Burmese people storming the station and climbing the train, and pickpockets with strange eyes All kinds of people were mixed together, pushing, arguing, and some even tried to snatch the weapons of the British and Burmese soldiers, and it was a chaotic scene, and the scene was no different from the scene of the riot.
The station is littered with vigilant British and Burmese soldiers and Vickers heavy machine gun emplacements piled up with sandbags.
"Bang, bang" Several British officers from time to time with the Webley pistol in their hands to shoot into the sky, aggravating the chaos at the station, but failed to suppress the situation, a station, is the epitome of the current situation in Burma, Mandalay is located in the south-central Burma, and the British army's defense focus in the south of Burma, its main force, all in the southern coastal cities near the defense, to deal with the Japanese attack, everywhere can be used field forces, but everything that can be pulled, have been pulled by the British to the south of Burma.
The invasion of the Japanese army exacerbated the chaos of the situation in Burma, exposing the various shortcomings of British rule in Burma one by one.
In the station, the only pure land, probably belongs to the north side of the station platform, here is different from other chaotic station areas, the platform is full of soldiers wearing German-style steel helmets, backpacks behind them, the soldiers of the national army sitting on the ground are densely packed until the exit of the station, on the border line on the north side of the station, dozens of Chinese soldiers with Thomson submachine guns and bayonets formed a cordon, with dark muzzles and shiny bayonets, as well as the murderous aura on the soldiers' bodies, as if forming an enchantment, no one violated.
The Burmese who had infiltrated the station, and the British-Burmese army had pushed and fought with each other, but none of them dared to come to the north of the station, no, to be precise, when the 2nd Supplementary Regiment had just entered the north of the station, some Burmese people flocked to the 2nd Supplementary Regiment, but they were greeted by the powerful rifle butts of the soldiers of the 2nd Supplementary Regiment and the crushing drive.
"Sir, after talking to the British in charge of the station, the train assigned to us has been prepared, but it will be an hour at night, the British say that the station is too chaotic, many Burmese want to climb the train, and there are thieves and suspected anti-British Burmese people making trouble, the chaotic situation delayed their original transportation plan, blocked the wagons in front, the car in front of them can't go in the platform, and those who pull us can't get into the platform, and the transportation of our regiment can only be delayed, and, the British said, for apologies, if you want, he can invite you to have two drinks."
On the inside of the platform, a young Chinese officer, a Briton in a decent suit and an officer of the Second Supplementary Regiment stood together, after the British said a lot, the young officer immediately translated the English and relayed it to Zhang Wei, the translator was Hou Teng's original staff officer who was transferred to the Second Supplementary Regiment, Captain Hu Kainuo who graduated from the 13th Cavalry Section of Huangpu, his name sounded very foreign, this person was born in a wealthy family in Southeast Asia, proficient in English and French, with a baby face, no military uniform, and no difference from Gongzi.
Now, he was temporarily appointed by Zhang Wei as a captain's liaison officer for the 2nd Supplementary Regiment, specializing in translation and dealing with the British.
"Drink and fart, tell him that our time is precious, and we can't delay, let this Englishman urge him again," Zhang Wei said to Hu Kainuo with a dark face.
The station was chaotic, and the troops couldn't get on the train, so Zhang Wei, who was anxious, asked Hu Kainuo to urge the British, and it was the Englishman in a suit in front of him who was urging him.
How did he know that he got an answer like "can only postpone transportation", Zhang Wei was furious and immediately asked Hu Kainuo to question the British.
A minute later.
Hu Kainuo: "Sir, he said that he couldn't rush it, the situation was too chaotic, and he could only delay the transportation plan." ” Zhang Wei was speechless, this special has been thrown at the station to grind foreign workers, who can stand it, looking at the chaotic situation in front of him, Zhang Wei was upset for a while, he is the vanguard, time is a race against time, it is advantageous to rush to Tonggu one second earlier, who would have thought that he would encounter this kind of bird thing before he hit the road.
The officers of the Second Supplementary Regiment behind him also frowned and worried.
Qiu Wei, the commander of the first battalion, said to Zhang Wei: "Regiment commander, if you don't wait, the British can't help it, it's too chaotic, those Burmese people are snatching guns." ” Zhang Wei: "I know, but now I can't delay for a moment, the pioneer group, the pioneer group, just to be in the front, what is it to do in this bird place." ” Everyone was speechless, staring at the chaos ahead, and after a while, Zhang Wei gritted his teeth.
"Xiaohu, tell the British, he can't suppress this mess, I'll help him play the pressure, let him arrange the train number, I'll put the situation down, hurry up and let the train go, let the car pull us into the station" Hu Kainuo was stunned.
"Sir, this" Zhang Wei: "Don't talk nonsense, translate the past" After speaking, Zhang Wei ignored the disagreement of the British and directly gave orders to the troops.
"He Jinhai Xue Rong" "Yes" "He Jinhai took the engineer company and Xue Rong's special service platoon rifle with bayonets, submachine guns loaded with fire, rushed to the main platform to drive away those troublemakers for me, light machine guns for Lao Tzu to set up, help the British army to suppress the situation, restore the station quiet, other troops are ready to get on the train, according to the formation sequence of the regiment directly under the troops and each battalion, board the following train, remember, who dares to resist, the first time to fire a warning, the second time to serve with the butt of the gun, the third time to shoot and kill, do you understand?"
He Jinhai and Xue Rong replied at the same time: "Understood" A minute later, under the surprised gaze of the British, the engineer company and the special service platoon of the Second Supplementary Regiment rushed into the chaotic main platform with their weapons in hand, lined up in seven or eight lines of human wall skirmishers, and headed at the Burmese crowd who were making trouble Please remember that the first domain name of this book is:.
