Chapter 481 Sending guns to the Kachin people has deep meaning
Although Miki's explanations were all general information, they were extremely precious to Zhang Junhao and others. This made me feel a certain impression of the 18th Division, knowing where the various units of the 18th Division were in and who were in charge of the team.
It was also very helpful for Wu Qiong to intercept and decipher the telegram of the 18th Division.
The head man asked to take Sanmu away and hand it over to the Kachin people for disposal, and Zhang Junhao agreed.
Shortly after Miki was taken by the head man, amid the cheers of hundreds of Kachin people, the head man cut off his head with a long knife.
After dark, the Kachin people brought several large pots of mutton, fish, rice and sparse vegetables, ignited a bonfire, and the commandos surrounded the bonfire and had supper.
After supper, the Kachin and the commandos sang and danced together.
Zhang Junhao, Luo Zhong, Zachry, Wu Qiong, Li Li, Xie Xinming and Wang Jinxian, led by the head man, came to a high ground and looked out to the west.
The head man pointed to the west and said, "There is a big river between the mountains called the Tanai River. You can reach Mengguan along the Tanai River, where heavy Japanese troops are stationed."
Zhang Junhao looked at the head man and asked in a low voice: "Can our team pass?"
The head man sighed and said, "There is no one from Mengguan to this area. There are all swamps and jungles. The road is too difficult to walk. If you are not careful, you will fall into the swamp, and there is only one way to die."
Zhang Junhao asked: "Can you walk the Tanai River?"
The head man shook his head and said, "There is no boat. The mountains in this area are high and the water flows too fast. You can't walk without a boat."
Zhang Junhao asked: "Even you Kachin people can't go there?"
The headman said: "We have been to the Pachai Hunter in our village. But he is in his fifties and suffers from rheumatoid arthritis and cannot walk far away."
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "Take him to see me."
The head man nodded and said, "Okay!"
Zhang Junhao and others returned to the hall and sat down to drink water.
Half an hour later, the headman came with the Pachai Hunter.
The Pachai Hunter is in his fifties, dressed like a head man, and his legs are indeed inconvenient.
Zhang Junhao asked Pachai Hunter: "Have you been to Mengguan?"
Headman translation.
The Pachai hunter laughed and said, "When I was young, I hunted and went everywhere within a radius of hundreds of miles. Of course, Mengguan has been there!"
Zhang Junhao asked: "How did you go?"
The Pachai hunter said: "Walking with dry food and clean water, we walked along the beast path. There are all kinds of beast paths under the dense jungle. The beast paths are wide and narrow. Walking on the beast paths, it is dark and dark. If you encounter lions and wolves, most people will be eaten. If you encounter elephant groups, it will be even more dangerous. The male elephant will rush straight over and kill people with ivory and long noses."
Zhang Junhao looked at Pachae's eyes and asked with a smile: "Since the beast path is so dangerous, how did you take risks?"
Pachai smiled and said, "First of all, I have three brothers walking together! There are more people, one can be brave and help each other, the second is that they bring more things, one carries water, one carries food, and one carries other supplies. Third, we have a hunting rifle and also carry a gong. When we walk forward, we beat the gong from time to time. If there are beasts in front of us, we will enter the forest and avoid it when we hear the sound we make."
Zhang Junhao nodded and asked with a smile: "What should I do when I encounter a swamp?"
Pachai smiled and said, "First of all, we can't pass the rainy season. In the rainy season, even gods cannot travel through the jungle. Not to mention that swamps will kill people, even the heavy miasma, mosquitoes, ants and lees will kill people. The swamp is connected to the river, giant pythons and crocodiles are rampant, and no one will go from this area to Mengguan during the rainy season. In the dry season, it is not something that ordinary people can go to. People who are not familiar with the temper of swamps will probably be eaten by swamps. The surface above the swamp is dry, but in fact, there are many crises below. If you step on your feet, you will be deeply trapped in it."
Zhang Junhao sighed heavily and said, "How did you get through?"
Pachai smiled and said, "We walk on the edge, use long wooden sticks to explore the way forward, poke to hard places, and can walk. When we encounter particularly soft places, cut down some branches and spread them on it. This is not enough. We will make wooden stick shoes and tie the wooden stick shoes to our feet. Although we are very tired when walking, we will not easily fall into the swamp."
Zhang Junhao frowned and asked, "What do wooden stick shoes look like?"
Pachae gestured with his hands.
Zhang Junhao instantly understood that it is not necessary to use a wooden stick, but a wooden piece is fine. Connect a few pieces of wood with rope or rattan, put your feet on it, and tie the pieces with your feet together. The principle is very simple. To expand the stress surface and disperse the weight of the human body on the wood piece, you will naturally not fall into a swamp.
Zhang Junhao was overjoyed and asked with a smile: "If we carry you away, would you be willing to lead the way for us?"
Pachai hesitated.
Zhang Junhao waved to the head man, and the head man approached him.
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "You helped us through the jungle, which is equivalent to participating in a war with the Japanese."
The head man nodded and translated it to the Pachai Hunter.
Zhang Junhao continued: "This house is my command center for the time being. When there is no war, I will give this house to you."
The head man was shocked and whispered: "This house belongs to the Shanguan family."
The head man did not translate Zhang Junhao's words to Pachai Hunter, and directly spoke to Zhang Junhao in Chinese.
Zhang Junhao whispered: "The family of the mountain officer has been killed by the Japanese, and this house has become a masterless house. I am here, and I can requisition this house on behalf of the government, or give it to those who actively participate in the War of Resistance."
The head man whispered: "The mountain official was killed and there was no mountain official. Can you find a way to let me serve as a mountain official?"
Zhang Junhao asked: "What procedures should I go through when I become a mountain official?"
The headman said: "The mountain official and the headman are appointed by the chieftain."
Zhang Junhao nodded and asked, "Where is the toast? Let him come to see me."
The head man said: "The place where the toast lives is in the north, more than twenty miles away from here."
Zhang Junhao nodded and said, "It's not far away! Send someone to notify him, saying that I have a lot of guns, and I will give them to him and ask him to form an armed force."
The head man smiled and asked, "Can you give me some guns?"
Zhang Junhao said: "The guns of the twenty-one Japanese devils who were just wiped out will be given to you."
The head man quickly said thank you.
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "You will accept the jade mine immediately."
The head man smiled and said yes.
Zhang Junhao said: "I only take a part of the property that Sanmu robs, and all the rest is distributed to the Kachin people who participated in the War of Resistance."
The head man was crying and nodded repeatedly and said thank you.
Zhang Junhao said: "You have to tell the Kachin people that we are a family and that we are here to help them. You have to mobilize them to work for us, carry supplies for us, and do miscellaneous things."
The leader nodded repeatedly and said that there was no problem.
Zhang Junhao laughed and said, "I will write letters overnight. You will send someone to the toast tomorrow morning with the letter I wrote. Then, follow me back to the camp. From now on, you are an activist in the War of Resistance Against Japan, so don't be afraid of hard work."
The head man shouted yes.
In the room of Zhang Junhao on the second floor, Zhang Junhao, Colonel Luo Zhong, Colonel Zachary, Lieutenant Colonel Xie Xinming, Lieutenant Colonel Wang Jinxian, Lieutenant Colonel Wu Qiong, Lie Lie Lie and others either sit on the bed or sit on a small stool and talk.
Zhang Junhao said: "Send a report to the team headquarters to inform us of our actions today, and tell them that Luo Zhong and Wu Qiong will return to the team headquarters tomorrow morning, and the work here will be chaired by Xie Xinming."
Xie Xinming said: "Okay."
Zhang Junhao said: "Xie Xinming has to work hard and wrote a letter to the chieftain in my name overnight, asking him to come here at noon the day after tomorrow. I want to see him. In the letter, he told him that we would give him a thousand guns and let him form a strong team. The move must be heavy, or if he doesn't take action, he must take him down."
Xie Xinming nodded and said, "Okay. It's just why we have to send so many guns to the toast?"
Zhang Junhao glanced at Li Li and said meaningfully: "This is a border area in China. Fighting the Japanese is not only a matter of the army, but also a matter of the whole people. The anti-Japanese united front strategy is not only applicable to Zhejiang, but also to northern Myanmar."
Luo Zhong nodded and said, "Anyway, our weapons and ammunition are provided by the US military, and all of them can be given to the locals."
Li Li smiled and said, "The captain has already considered the post-war and you will understand it in the future. Things can only be done, absolutely not said."
