The relatively intact bodies of the Japanese were dragged out, along with some rifle launchers and a crooked weapon. Zhou Heng asked Wang Wenyuan and the others to put the bodies together with the loot, and then asked the war reporters to take a few photos of them.
"Take a good photo and keep it well. This is the evidence of your annihilation of the Japanese. It's a precious asset for future generations.”Zhou Heng said with a smile.
It was very important to preserve these things because the descendants of the Japanese might not admit it in the future. They might say that we were not defeated by the Chinese, but by the Milijian. When the time came, they could throw these photos and recorded videos in their faces and let them see who killed their ancestors.
"Sure, sure. Hehe, remember to give me a photo after the photographer has developed it. I want to keep it for my children to see how their father fights the Japanese.”Not Spicy said excitedly.
Envious Dragon, who hadn't been able to take any pictures, was a little jealous." Tsk, what's so great about it? When I kill the Japanese, I'll make a movie. It's much more awesome than this Second Lieutenant."”
" Good, you're ambitious. I see you, Mi Long. If you can kill a Japanese colonel, I promise to use a transport plane to send newspapers to the three northeastern provinces for you in the future. I'll show your folks and let them know that there's such a great hero in the three northeastern provinces. You guys will be the same. Whoever kills an officer above the colonel will get 100,000 copies of newspapers.”Zhou Heng promised to come.
"Really, Guild Leader, you're a real man. "The Lost Dragon was so happy that he almost jumped up. No one can understand his feelings for his hometown.
The other warriors were also excited. Who didn't want to become a hero in their hometown? Who didn't want to make a name for themselves in front of their hometown? Since ancient times, China had a saying that wealth and honor were like traveling at night without returning to their hometown. All of them had this dream.
They weren't the dead soldiers that the villagers talked about. They were soldiers and heroes who protected the country.
There was some restlessness in the camp. They all stared at the place where the cannon sounds came from in the distance, as if they wanted to rush over and see if there was a Japanese colonel there and if there was a chance for them to become famous.
Unfortunately, it seemed that only one of the Japanese troops had reached the airport. The other Japanese were still chasing the British and expeditionary forces in the distance.
After the battle ended, Zhou Heng returned to the command center and called the surrounding battalions to inquire about the situation. They did not find any new Japanese troops. The scouts were searching the surroundings. There were no casualties so far, but there were already eight injured. They were all sent to the field hospital and were in stable condition.
"Any response from the British? Did they say which part of the Japanese army is near the airport? Those Japanese soldiers didn't have any markings on them. We don't even know the identity of the enemy.”Zhou Heng asked Lin Yi, who stayed behind at the headquarters.
Lin Yi shook his head and said," There's no response. The British side is too chaotic. I asked the soldiers of the expeditionary army who were taken in. They said that the Japanese's 55th Division and 56th Division were chasing them. As for which division, I don't know.”
"Bang!" Zhou Heng slammed the table. He was very angry. This British army really made him speechless. They were very good at suppressing colonial uprisings, but when it came to a regular war, they were simply a pile of sh * t. It was disgusting.
"Are there still people from the British army at the airport? Did they all retreat?" Zhou Heng continued to ask.
" Let's go. They're all retreating. The American military has sent some of them away, and some of them have driven away. Oh right, they left behind a lot of supplies. My military police saw seven 25-pound field cannons in the warehouse just now. I've seen these cannons before. They're quite powerful and have a long range. I've already sent them to Liu Laosan.”Lin Yi said about the unexpected joy he had discovered.
Leaving a few cannons behind was the only good thing that the British army did. Zhou Heng's anger dissipated a little." We'll be guarding the airport for five days. The ones chasing after them now are all the vanguards of the little ghosts. There aren't many of them. If we wait here for too long, their main force will come. At that time, our two to three thousand people won't be enough for them to eat.
I'm afraid it's very difficult to recruit soldiers in Myanmar. I've checked the information. There are probably only 200,000 overseas Chinese in Myanmar. The rest are Burmese and other ethnic groups. We can't stay here for the time being. We can expand a division by gathering the soldiers of the expeditionary army. When the time comes, we can come back and stand on a piece of land. We can move the people who have been displaced by the war here. Only then can we really stand firm.”
Zhou Heng did not shy away from voicing his thoughts. There were probably close to ten million people in Myanmar now, and the number of overseas Chinese was too small. He was not sure how many of these overseas Chinese would support him. The overseas Chinese in Nanyang were not united. They were divided into many factions and groups, and there was constant internal strife.
To gather such a large force, it was impossible to rely on just one regiment or division. At least tens of thousands of troops were needed. It was impossible to have so many troops in Myanmar for a while, let alone facing five divisions of the Japanese.
Regarding Zhou Heng's idea, Lin Yi naturally supported it 100%, but he still had doubts. He asked,"Leader, even if we take down a territory, how are we going to let the people migrate here? You have to know that we are at the front line. It is impossible for the commoners to run to the front line.”
Zhou Heng naturally knew this, but he was not worried. He smiled and said," You'll know when we get back to Chanda. I'll show you what I can do then. Alright, now take your military police to check the various positions and make sure they don't let their guard down. Right, at night, order the artillery to fire flares every ten minutes. Don't let the Japanese come up in the dark."”
"Yes, I'll do it immediately." After saying that, he picked up the steel helmet on the stool and left with a few military policemen. Only Zhou Heng was left in the command center.
Leaning on the table, Zhou Heng's brain was working quickly. He had entered Myanmar this time for the expeditionary soldiers. Taking over territory was a matter for the future. The conditions were not ripe yet. When he had 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers, he would be able to control a large area. At that time, it would not be a problem even if he and the Japanese were to run into him.
However, occupying territory was not enough. There would be many problems, such as where to occupy. It was useless to occupy the mountainous areas. The mountainous terrain was rugged, and large-scale industries could not be developed. If one wanted to occupy the land, they would still have to occupy the plains. However, the plains were all in southern Myanmar, and it was not easy to go there.
For example, the Burmese. If you occupied land, they would only think that you were another colonist. When that time came, they would often rebel. What could they do? Coupled with the surging national independence movement in the 1960s, when the Burmese wanted independence, Millikan and Big Bear would interfere. It might turn into a civil war. What should they do?
Everything had to be carefully considered and done step by step. Only then could they leave a stable habitat for the Chinese people. They couldn't just ignore it after taking over the land. If they did, the problems that they would leave behind would be endless.
