The War of Resistance: My Expedition, My Country

"Captain Qin, I didn't expect you to lead the team!" Liu Xiao was very excited. With the 2nd Battalion here, the success rate of this rescue will be greatly improved!

Without saying much, the two of them immediately began to communicate about the enemy's distribution, night shifts, patrols, secret sentries, heavy firepower locations, etc. Liu Xiao handed the simple topographic map he had surveyed and drawn to Qin Shi, and repeatedly instructed him to give priority to rescuing the expeditionary officers and British soldiers who were tied to the water dungeon and wooden pillars. One of the British soldiers was Lieutenant Colonel Flying Officer William, a member of the British royal family. The Japanese army was not aware of his identity.

Qin Shi nodded affirmatively. If nothing else, rescuing Lieutenant Colonel William would at least allow them to exchange more supplies from the British for what China needed. As for prioritizing the rescue of the captured officers, Qin Shi planned to make a feint. While rescuing these officers would certainly help stabilize the POWs in the short term, it would be detrimental to the guerrilla warfare in Burma later on. Qin Shi decided to take it one step at a time.

Liu Xiao led an elite team and quietly infiltrated the concentration camp through a secret passage. Meanwhile, Qin Shi led a large force, some of whom swam along the river, while others followed the riverbank to nearby locations to organize support and defense.

Qin Shi assigned Deputy Battalion Commander Wu Liu to oversee rescue and combat operations near the river, while he himself led a company, along with the overseas Chinese guerrillas and artillery company, to quickly move toward the vicinity of the Japanese garrison. When Liu Xiao informed him that the Japanese forces there were only a half-strength squadron, Qin Shi's resolve surged—he must annihilate these enemies and seize their weapons!

Under cover of darkness, Liu Xiao and his companions carefully traversed a secret passageway and entered the concentration camp, where they soon reunited with the prisoners preparing to revolt. Li Huaixi then realized that the organizer of the rebellion was this hated "traitor." Liu Xiao immediately combined the soldiers and prisoners he had brought with him into several security teams. Then, he quietly began to awaken the prisoners one by one and began an orderly evacuation of the camp...

Qin Shi's team also advanced with equal urgency and order. They were divided into several groups, each carrying out different tasks. Some were responsible for observing the surrounding situation, while others prepared their weapons, ready for any possible battle. They knew that this operation was not only related to their own safety, but also to the life and death of their fellow prisoners in the concentration camp.

No matter how well-planned, accidents are bound to happen. A Japanese soldier was apparently woken up by the urge to urinate. He came out to urinate in a daze and accidentally discovered a group of prisoners of war. So he picked up his gun and shot a prisoner: "Bang", the prisoner fell to the ground. The soldier in charge of covering him did not hesitate, "bang bang", two shots killed the Japanese soldier.

The gunshots alarmed the Japanese army, and the concentration camp immediately sounded alarms. Searchlights shot towards the prison sheds, and the enemy's light and dark firepower turned around and opened fire on the group of prisoners of war.

"Fire!" Qin Shi shouted, and several mortars and machine guns roared, shells raining down on the Japanese camp. The searchlights on the Japanese stilt houses were instantly destroyed, and flames burst forth, illuminating the entire night sky. After several violent explosions, the Japanese heavy firepower points were also destroyed, and they fled in panic.

The morale of the soldiers of the 600nd Battalion of the 2th Regiment was greatly boosted. They rushed towards the Japanese army with weapons in hand like tigers descending from the mountains. The Japanese army was slaughtered and left with no weapons or armor, in a state of disarray.

"Mosi Mosi, Mosi Mosi..." Kawasaki, who was awakened, was terrified. He picked up the phone and desperately asked for help from the Japanese army in Tonggu 30 kilometers away, but the telephone line had been cut off long ago and could not be dialed at all.

At this time, the captain of the security team, Ken Kuma Zhisan, hurried into the headquarters and shouted to Kawasaki breathlessly: "Commander, it's bad. We are under attack by a large number of unknown armed forces. The other side has mortars. We can't hold on. Retreat quickly!"

Kawasaki's face turned pale. He overturned the table in anger, picked up his saber, and roared loudly: "Baga! Damn Chinese!" As he said that, he rushed out the door with Kenkuma Shizo, ready to escape from the battlefield.

However, Qin Shi and others had already set up a trap here, and they were quietly waiting for the enemy to arrive. When Kawasaki and Ken Xiongzhisan led a small number of Japanese soldiers to try to escape from another direction, they were greeted by a burst of dense and rapid gunfire.

Kawasaki's eyes widened, a look of despair on his face. He had never imagined that he would find himself in such a desperate situation. In the end, the executioner, his hands stained with blood, finally fell under the gun of justice, ending his sinful life.

Over 120 Japanese garrisons and a dozen Burmese traitors were killed or executed. 1845 Chinese and British prisoners of war, including Lieutenant Colonel William, were rescued, along with over 100 overseas Chinese. After a brief gathering of supplies, Qin Shi and his men quickly retreated into the jungles of eastern Burma.

"What? The prisoner-of-war camp was attacked?" Lieutenant Colonel Sakamoto Uki, commander of the Togu Garrison and captain of the Japanese Security Battalion, was furious upon receiving the report. He repeatedly berated Kawasaki and the other garrisons for their incompetence. Major Sumihisa Kitaro, a staff officer, gestured, "Captain, please refrain from scolding the Imperial warriors who died in battle!" (Captain, Imperial de 戦死した勇を叱らないでください!)

"What? Major Kawasaki died in battle? (Naru? Major Kawasaki died in battle?)"

"Yes, including Kawasaki-kun, all the imperial soldiers in Tonggu Concentration Camp were killed! According to battlefield observations, the enemy used mortars above 81mm. It should not be a simple guerrilla attack, but a regular army! The enemy's enemy's 81mm or above forced cannons are used to attack the battlefield, and the enemy's mm or above forced cannons are used to attack the enemy.

"Nani? Regular army? Where did they run out from? (Nani? Regular army? He らはどこから出げ出したのですか?)"

"Preliminary estimates suggest that it should be an organic unit of the Chinese army that has not been eliminated. A rough estimate is that it has at least a battalion of troops. (Initial recommendation of Nabu The Chinese army’s undefeated organized troops, the large and powerful troops, and the small and powerful troops.”

Sakamoto was shocked when he heard Mo Jiuxi's answer! A battalion? That's not a small number! Add to that the nearly two thousand prisoners of war who had been rescued, and this is a huge scale. Sakamoto waved to Mo Jiuxi with a serious expression, indicating that he could leave. After Mo Jiuxi left, Sakamoto didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Security Command (brigade level) in Yangon to urgently report the situation.

After hanging up the phone, Sakamoto realized the seriousness of the matter. He quickly issued an order to impose martial law in Tonggu and surrounding areas to ensure that no one would slip through the net.
