Chapter 82: Two Heads

"Donkey said, the little devil was playing in a hole here back then?" Sun Gang couldn't help scolding, and he encountered more than a dozen forks along the way, which shows how complicated this military base is.

"Back then, the little devils didn't have to work hard in this part of Myanmar." The big-tailed wolf seems to know this history well.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, due to the weak industrial foundation of China, a large number of materials and foreign aid were urgently needed, so the Yunnan-Burma Highway was built in early 1938. Inspired by the belief in resisting the Japanese and saving the country, 200,000 people from 28 counties in western Yunnan brought their own rations and tools, slept in the open air, split rocks and drilled rocks, and built the Yunnan-Burma Highway with their hands and blood and sweat on the rapids and rapids of the high mountains and valleys, along the mountains and fields of western Yunnan and northern Myanmar for 990 kilometers. During this period, countless people died due to blasting, falling rocks, falling into rivers, heavy pressure of soil and rocks, and dysentery. Opened to traffic at the end of 1938, the Yunnan-Burma Highway has become a blood vessel for the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression began, the little devils tried to use force to interrupt the "third country's" aid activities to China. In the winter of 1939, the Japanese occupied our southern and Ningning provinces, cutting off our international communication line to Haiphong, Vietnam.

In the spring of 1940, the little devils bombed the Yunnan-Vietnam Railway indiscriminately; In June, France was forced to accept a demand to stop shipments from China and Vietnam. In September, the little devils invaded Vietnam and signed a friendship treaty with Thailand, and the Yunnan-Vietnam line was completely interrupted. The Yunnan-Burma Highway has become the only route for aiding China.

Myanmar is a strategically important country on the Southeast Asian peninsula. To the west is British India, bordered to the north and northeast by Huaxia XZ and Tiannan. The Yunnan-Burma Highway is an important international communication route in China, and the little devils can also threaten the rear of Tiannan in China. Burma is strategically important to both China and Britain in the allies. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, the little devils swept Southeast Asia in a short period of time, and then the spearhead was directed at Myanmar.

In order to defend Burma, China and Britain hatched a military alliance as early as early 1941. Huaxia actively prepared and proposed that the Huaxia army enter Burma as soon as possible to deploy defenses. After the outbreak of the Pacific War, on December 23, 1941, China and Britain signed the "Sino-British Agreement on the Mutual Defense of the Yunnan-Burma Road" in CQ, and the Sino-British military alliance was formed.

However, because the British army underestimated the strength of the Chinese army, overestimated itself, and did not want the foreign [***] team to penetrate deep into their colonies, they repeatedly delayed and obstructed the Chinese expeditionary force from entering Burma, and the Chinese expeditionary force scheduled to enter Burma had no choice but to stay on the Sino-Burmese border.

However, in early January 1942, after the little devils launched an attack, the British and Burmese troops were defeated all the way, so they hurriedly invited the Chinese army to enter Burma to participate in the war. Huaxia established the 1st Route Commander of the Expeditionary Force and went to the Burma battlefield.

However, because the first opportunity to fight has been lost, the defense of Myanmar has been lost. This was mainly due to Britain's extreme adherence to the established strategy of Europe first and then Asia, and once the war situation was unfavorable, it completely lost interest in defending Burma and retreated repeatedly, turning the Chinese Expeditionary Force's defense of Burma into an operation to cover the retreat of the British army.

However, the Chinese Expeditionary Force still made achievements that were admired by the British and American allies, and achieved certain strategic goals. From March 1942, when the Chinese Expeditionary Force began to fight against the little devils, to the withdrawal of the Sino-British coalition forces from Burma in early August, it lasted half a year, fought more than 1,500 kilometers, fought bloody battles, and repeatedly defeated the enemy's front, so that the army suffered a heavy blow that was rare since the Pacific War, and gave strong support to the British and Burmese troops many times, and won victories such as the Battle of Tonggu, the Battle of Sva, the Battle of Ringanqiang Liberation, and the Battle of Taunggyi Recovery.

In the First Burma War, the army suffered about 45,000 casualties, the British army suffered more than 13,000 casualties, and the Chinese expeditionary force suffered more than 50,000 casualties (most of them were in the Savage Mountains in the Hukang River Valley).

After that, the second expeditionary war was launched, which lasted one and a half years, annihilating more than 48,000 Japanese troops, more than 18,000 casualties of the Chinese garrison in India, and more than 40,000 casualties of the Chinese expeditionary force.

The victory of the counteroffensive of the Chinese Army in India and the Chinese Expeditionary Force reopened the international lines of communication, so that the international aid to China was continuously transported into China. drove the little devils out of the southwest gate of China, and opened the prelude to the frontal battlefield against the Japanese counterattack; It pinned down and inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese armies in northern Burma and western Yunnan, creating favorable conditions for the Allied forces to recover the whole of Burma.

The Sino-Burmese and Indian War lasted three years and three months from the time the Chinese army entered Burma, with a total of 400,000 troops and nearly 200,000 casualties. The blood and lives of the Chinese Expeditionary Force wrote an extremely tragic stroke in the history of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.

From the point of view of the little devil, the invasion of China in many ways, the lack of troops, and the inability to launch a larger-scale war to invade the rear of the southwest, so a lot of efforts have been made in the solid defense, and in the rear of the southwest and Burma, they are like rats, digging holes everywhere: "I have been to a few military places built by the little devils back then, not to mention, the ability to make holes is really good, and several places are also regarded as special operations training grounds." ”

Sun Gang joked: "One thing is certain, there are often earthquakes on the island, and the little devil has become a surname for earthquake prevention, and the earthquake prevention must have been taken into account when the hole was drilled." ”

"What is this?"

When they came to a combat rest area, everyone's eyes were straight, and there were twelve large animal skeletons here.

"It's the skeleton of a tiger, it should be an Indochinese tiger."

The big-tailed wolf quickly recognized: "Could it be that the little devil collected it back then, I didn't expect the little devil to have such a bad taste." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Hei walked to the skeleton, completed a set of animations with great human surnames, gestured and bit the skeleton, and then held his head high, as if to announce: This is my trophy.

"Wow, Xiao Hei is amazing!"

Ye Zijing walked over and touched Xiao Hei's head as a reward. Qin Xuebing had a black line, he didn't expect this big guy to have a bad taste for collecting animal skeletons.

Continue to walk forward, come to the next combat rest area, everyone is no longer dumbfounded, but feel dizzy, there is only a pair of animal skeletons in this rest area, but it is nearly fifteen meters long, it should be a big python.

Xiao Hei was even more proud, holding his head high, and let out a howl, as if to say: Am I very powerful.

"This guy looks like he's taking us to see his loot."

Qin Xuebing smiled bitterly, he was not interested in animal bones: "Xiao Hei, we still have to find something, can we visit it again when we have time?" ”

What Qin Xuebing didn't expect was that Xiao Hei nodded very humanely, which also surprised everyone, and said that this guy had a surname.

Everyone returned the same way and came to the first fork, Qin Xuebing was just about to step in, Xiao Hei suddenly stopped in front of him, whined, and shook his head constantly.

"Xiao Hei, you want to say that there is danger inside?" Qin Xuebing could see a hint of eagerness in Xiao Hei's eyes, as if he didn't want him to go in.

Blackie nodded once. But in order to find treasure and gold, no one here will back down: "Xiao Hei, don't worry, we all have guys with us." ”

Qin Xuebing turned around again and said, "The others go behind, big tail wolf, you follow me, prepare the bazooka, if you encounter danger, give him a shot first." ”

"Good!" The big-tailed wolf had a serious face, he could hear Sun Gang say about Xiao Hei's brilliant achievements, and now Xiao Hei felt the danger, how could he dare to laugh at the unknown things in the cave.

The group walked cautiously, the more they walked in, the more gloomy they felt, and suddenly they felt a burst of emptiness in front of them, and the light shining in through the ventilation window could roughly see the environment here, the whole space was nearly 100 square meters, surrounded by stone walls, and there were many patterns on the walls.

But everyone consciously ignored the patterns on the wall, and stared at the wooden boxes in the opposite corner, which should be gold.

Yes! Yes! Yes......

The screams came one after another, and everyone was frightened, because two heads poked out of the wooden box, and in the insufficient light, they looked like people and non-people, ghosts and ghosts, and they were terrifying.

ps: There is another more, it will be late, thank you for the support of Tibetan friends.
