Chapter 291 Supporting the Expeditionary Force
The weapons in the hands of this group of people were obviously Type 38 rifles. They were waving their arms and talking incoherently. It was obvious that they were chasing the Kuomintang soldiers.
And this place is Myanmar, so there is no need to think too much about those Kuomintang soldiers, they should be the expeditionary force.
These natives were obviously not Japanese devils, and they were holding Japanese devils' weapons in their hands. Naturally, they were puppet forces supported by the Japanese devils after they occupied Myanmar.
Hou Xiaoge had lived in Yunnan Province for several months and was naturally familiar with the situation in Myanmar and the Expeditionary Force.
There are too many scenes like the one just now. This is actually very similar to the situation in China. China has a large territory, and there are only a few Japanese soldiers. They are scattered over the vast land and cannot be seen at all.
But what these devils are best at is supporting puppets and traitors. The number of puppet troops in the country alone is almost the same as that of the devils, not to mention the puppet police and traitors' lackeys who help the devils maintain public order.
So many times, it is actually the Chinese people who are fighting against themselves, which is really sad.
Looking at these Burmese natives, it is probably the same. The expeditionary force had such a hard time fighting in Burma, and these natives were the biggest culprits.
As for why, the main reason was not the expeditionary force, but John Bull who cooperated with the expeditionary force.
During the Qing Dynasty, Myanmar was its vassal state. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, the suzerain state was not strong enough and these vassal states were colonized by the powerful invaders one after another. Among them, Myanmar was colonized by John Bull.
The Western powers did not treat their vassal states in a rough manner like the Chinese Confucian ideology and guarantee the independence of their regimes, but instead adopted the exploitative and colonialist mentality of a bandit.
Needless to say, the various brutalities inflicted during the period of his rule over Burma included publicly "cannonballing" as the only means of dealing with resistance.
So John Bull's image in Burma is actually similar to the Japanese invasion of China, except that China is too big for the Japanese to swallow.
In the 30th year of the Republic of China, the Japanese began to occupy Burma and drive out John Bull, under the pretext of helping to drive out the colonists and build the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.
Originally, the Japanese were well-known for being powerful in the Chinese civilization circle at that time. Even most of the political figures in the Celestial Empire studied in Japan when they were young, and thus overthrew the Whip Dynasty and established the National Government, not to mention these small countries.
In the minds of Burmese people, we are all from the same cultural circle, with yellow skin, similar thoughts and culture. I used to recognize China as the big brother, and now it’s the same to recognize the little Baga, there is no difference.
So when the Japanese occupied Burma, they faced almost no pressure and with the cooperation of the local people, they drove John Bull away in just a few months.
And now the former big brother hasn't even cleaned up his own ass, and is being beaten up by the new big brother. He also encounters the expeditionary force that joins forces with John Bull to invade Burma. Who do you think these natives will side with?
On one side is the strong new big brother, with black hair and yellow skin, who will lead them to share prosperity.
On the other side was the weak former big brother, who was leading a group of red-haired and white-skinned people, shouting and trying to drive away their new big brother. The Burmese fool also thought that they should side with the new big brother.
Hou Xiaoge didn’t understand it in his previous life, but after coming to this era, he looked at the problem from a different perspective and it became clear to him.
Every country and every force has its own stance. It may seem incomprehensible to those who don’t know, but there are few fools among these forces.
There were many news reports in later generations that the locals buried the remains of the expeditionary forces in pig pens. The locals were so angry that they couldn't understand why these people were ungrateful.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand after thinking it through. The relationship between the two sides is inherently hostile, so people will naturally not sympathize with your Expeditionary Force. This is completely different from the significance of the later Volunteer Army.
Therefore, when the Expeditionary Force organized its first 100,000-man expeditionary force in 1941, in addition to fighting against the powerful Japanese devils, it was also beaten by the locals and lost miserably.
After the second adjustment, we were able to fight back and forth with the Burmese natives and the Japanese, but the war was also very difficult in the mountainous jungles filled with tropical rainforests.
According to what Hou Xiaoge knew from history in his previous life, even after the founding of the country, the fighting with the locals never stopped.
In fact, most of these Burmese natives have the same origin as the Chinese. Their ethnic groups speak the same language and have the same customs as many ethnic minorities in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces in China.
But now they are of course enemies, especially accomplices of the Japanese devils, so Hou Xiaoge will not show mercy.
After Hou Xiaoge and the other natives passed by, he picked up his machine gun and fired at the natives below.
"Ahhh!"
The natives were chasing the expeditionary force nervously, but they didn't expect to hear the sound of machine guns from behind. Because they were so close, they suffered heavy casualties.
"Disperse, disperse!" The leader was the most alert. He lay down and shouted loudly.
But people are not as fast as guns. In just a few breaths, Hou Xiaoge's big plate of chicken slaughtered twenty or thirty of the natives following behind him like cutting leeks.
Hou Xiaoge, who hadn't played for several months, felt warmed up after finishing a magazine and got into the state immediately.
After firing forty-seven bullets, Hou Xiaoge directly changed guns in space. His mental power did not stop. Dozens of melon grenades confiscated from the Japanese soldiers flew straight towards the natives hiding in the distance.
The enemy only had about thirty spears, and the rest were mostly homemade hunting rifles, spears, bows and arrows.
As long as there is no bombardment, Hou Xiaoge will not be able to react. These gadgets are of no use to Hou Xiaoge who has mental power and space blessing.
At this moment, Hou Xiaoge seemed to be like the heroes in the anti-Japanese dramas of later generations, jumping back and forth in the jungle, firing a few shots at the hiding natives or throwing a grenade from time to time.
"It's been a while since I last fought anyone. It feels so good!" In less than ten minutes, the fighting stopped.
After circling the battlefield, Hou Xiaoge did not detect anyone with his mental power, so he began to search the corpses for spoils.
These corpses are all energy, so Hou Xiaoge naturally couldn't let them go. As for the remaining clothes and weapons, he didn't despise them and put them into the space for Ling'er to deal with.
After a series of treatment, they even spared the corpses. They were even more ruthless than the Japanese.
After dealing with these natives, Hou Xiaoge chased after the expeditionary force fleeing in front.
"Platoon leader, we really can't run anymore. You should go quickly and bring a letter to our brothers' home when you go back." Two soldiers with leg injuries fell off the stretcher with all their strength and shouted in tears.
"No, I brought you guys out here, so I have to take you back."
With a bullet-bitten ear and blood all over his head, Mi Hu growled in a low voice and asked someone to carry the two men back to the stretcher.
"Platoon leader, everyone is low on bullets and hasn't eaten for a day. You can't let us hold you back any longer."
"Shut up!"
"Stop it!"
"Who is it!" More than a dozen expeditionary soldiers scattered in all directions and lay down with their guns raised.
"Not bad, very alert and professional." Hou Xiaoge said with satisfaction as he looked at the expeditionary force pointing guns at him.
Seeing that everyone dispersed and got ready in just a blink of an eye, Hou Xiaoge was also very impressed. This was much better than the natives.
"Who are you and what do you do? Stand back or you might get shot." Mi Hu pointed his gun at Hou Xiaoge, who was a hundred meters away, and warned him.
“Don’t be nervous, I’m from the Southeast Asian Chinese Self-Saving Army.
My people have killed all the natives chasing you, so you don't have to run so quickly." Hou Xiaoge smiled and took a few steps back, then threw the head of the native leader, which was held in his tattered clothes, over.
At a distance of one hundred meters, a head weighing more than ten pounds is not a melon grenade. Hou Xiaoge's move stunned everyone.
"Platoon leader, be careful, I'm going!" The soldier with a wounded leg saw Mi Hu preparing to open the cloth bag, so he quickly rolled over from the stretcher and said.
"Okay, be careful." Mi Hu was a little nervous when he saw that the soldier had touched the cloth bag, fearing that it was a bomb.
"what!"
Although we are used to seeing life and death in battle, who would not be afraid when a bloody head suddenly comes into view?
"what happened?"
“The head is the head of the Karen chief who was chasing us.” The soldier stammered.
"Let me see!" Mi Hu crawled over.
"It's true, haha! Brothers can see clearly now." Mi Hu laughed.
God knows what a blow it must have been to the comrades when more than half of a platoon of more than 30 people died.
"What do you think, everyone? Besides, there aren't many people in Myanmar who speak Mandarin as standard as I do!
Several of you are injured, and I happen to have some medicine that can help you." Hou Xiaoge said as he threw a small bag over.
"Hey! This is Tianmen Group's white medicine for wound cleaning, as well as penicillin and gauze." Several people were delighted when they saw the medicine thrown by Hou Xiaoge.
Even though Hou Xiaoge is selling this medicine, officers of the National Government generally do not give it to soldiers, as they believe that ordinary soldiers are not worthy of it.
"Brother, what's your name?" Since everyone else was showing goodwill, Mihu couldn't possibly treat them coldly.
"My name is Zhou Debiao, chairman of Tianmen Group. I'll be leaving first. You brothers can go to Tianmen Station in Hongliu Town, ten miles away, to rest for a while." After saying this, Hou Xiaoge bowed, turned around and walked into the jungle.
On the way back, Hou Xiaoge did not fly the plane. He planned to take a look at the current situation in Myanmar before sending forces to support the expeditionary force.
In the past few months, Tianmen Group has taken root in Yunnan and Guangxi provinces, and its main businesses are now medicines and eggs.
The newly established factory can now produce 500 units of penicillin, 2,000 units of allicin, and 1,000 units of Qingcang Baiyao every day.
As for eggs, one hundred tons a month, worth one hundred thousand oceans, is not a small amount.
However, whether it is penicillin or eggs, they are rare for ordinary people, and big shots don’t eat them, so the sales pressure is not small.
The National Government now has some complaints about Hou Xiaoge, so Hou Xiaoge can only find a way to target the Expeditionary Force.
Time is the best healing agent. Tianmen Group has kept a low profile in the past few months and has calmed down the initial sensation. Now it can take the initiative to look for buyers.
Along the way, they encountered four or five waves of natives chasing the expeditionary force. Hou Xiaoge solved them all and then gave these people a medical kit to "fish".
