Chapter 269: Refusal of Peace Talks
Gunfire came from the far West Bank, and it was the landing of the advance regiment that began.
Yan Wenhua stepped up his advance, pushing aside the grass in front of him while striding forward, finding a way for the soldiers behind him to go ashore.
There were really no Burmese defenders here, and when the whole platoon had gone up to the embankment, the sky was already light, and an avenue was displayed in front of them.
Yan Wenhua decided to immediately advance along the avenue and give the enemy on the left flank a surprise attack.
He ordered the first squad to explore the road in front, and he led the second and third squads to follow behind, because the gunfire in front was rapid, so they advanced faster, for fear that they would not be able to catch up with the battle.
The gunfire was getting closer and closer, and Yan Wenhua had already seen that the first squad had already connected with the enemy, and he waved his hand and shouted loudly: "Rush forward!" Hit me hard! ”
He led two squads up a small hill, and saw the enemy who was blocking the advance of our army, and the first squad was already firing at them, he picked up the Type 48 Mini gun, fired five or six shots in a row, and knocked down four Burmese soldiers, and the second and third squads that came up together also opened fire one after another.
The sudden appearance of Yan Wenhua's platoon blinded the Burmese soldiers, they didn't know how many soldiers came, and they didn't send people to reconnoitre, so they ran away, and it was the officials who ran first.
The entire defense line of the Burmese army was like a mud wall, and it collapsed with a slight push.
After the commander of the 101st Division crossed the river, he immediately promoted Yan Wenhua to company commander.
When Gao Junshan learned that the troops had crossed the river and that the Burmese army was retreating, he ordered that after the troops crossed the river, they should continue to pursue the Burmese army, not to covet how many places they occupied, but to destroy their living forces.
After the 101st and 102nd Divisions had crossed the river, he ordered the 201st, 705th, and 706th Divisions to cross the Irrawaddy River.
He sent a telegram to Zhou Shichen, the commander-in-chief of the front, telling him that the 101st, 102nd and 201st Divisions were responsible for destroying the enemy, and the 705th and 706th Divisions were responsible for defending the captured cities.
He left the 305th Division in Yunnan to strengthen local security in Yunnan.
Gao Junshan's headquarters in Yunlong Prefecture commanded this campaign against Burma.
In December, a convoy from the Logistics Department came.
This convoy of 200,000 people is a huge convoy.
All kinds of strategic materials were transported to Yunlongzhou, because the headquarters was located in Yunlongzhou, so the warehouse of the logistics department was also located in Yunlongzhou.
Yunlong Prefecture suddenly became lively.
Yunlong Prefecture belongs to the mountainous terrain, from west to east in the north-south direction, there are Chongshan Mountains, Panshan Mountains, Qingshuilang Mountains, Lancang River, Nanjiang River runs through the whole territory from north to south, Nu River passes around the western border, the scenery is incomparably beautiful.
Yunlong Prefecture is a multi-ethnic area, with more than 20 ethnic groups such as Bai, Han, Yi, Miao, Hui, Dai, Susu, and Achang.
The headquarters of Gao Junshan was located here, which enhanced the harmony among various ethnic groups in Yunnan.
Merchants from all over Yunnan also gathered in Yunlongzhou, and Gao Junshan lost no time in promoting the policies of the Huaxia Kingdom to the merchants and encouraging them to trade overseas.
The expeditionary army was progressing smoothly, and no matter how strong the Burmese army was, it could not stop the fierce offensive of the Huaxia army, and they soon withdrew from northern Burma and demanded peace talks.
The Myanmar side put forward a condition for peace talks:
1. Burma pays tribute according to the ancient rites;
2. Burma will never violate the border of the Celestial Empire;
3. Burma handed over the Guiwang Zhu Youlang to Huaxia.
Gao Junshan sent a telegram to Zhou Shichen instructing:
Burma has been the territory of China since ancient times, and does not accept the peace talks of Burma.
Because of the material support of 200,000 transport troops, the 101st, 102nd and 201st divisions have been provided with sufficient ammunition and equipment for the winter.
In the face of the strong offensive of the Chinese State, the Burmese Dynasty could only shrink on the defense, and did not dare to have any delusions of counterattack.
At this time, Siam also took the opportunity to launch a large-scale counteroffensive against Burma and wiped out the Burmese army that invaded Siam.
King Mangda had no power to return to heaven, and he was looking forward to delaying time, waiting for the Western powers to intervene in China.
The reason why Gao Junshan was determined to recover Burma was that he fell in love with the granary of Burma. Moreover, Myanmar's climate and soil are very suitable for growing rubber, and it is impossible to meet the use and sales of rubber in the whole country by relying on one place on Hainan Island alone, so it is necessary to develop new rubber plantations.
In addition, in this part of Myanmar, rice and corn can be harvested at least three times a year, and dragon fruit, bananas, watermelons and other fruits are abundant, which are necessary for our Chinese people.
How can such a treasure land be given to others?
Gao Junshan's telegram to Zhou Shichen was only sent, and he received a telegram from Dai Zicheng.
Dai Zicheng built a city in Xichang (a city adjacent to the Rakshasa Kingdom, that is, Yekaterinburg in later generations), and now Xichang has been built, and he was ordered by Gao Junshan to pull his engineering team to Shanghai, and this telegram was sent by Dai Zicheng from Shanghai.
"I've arrived in Shanghai, ask for instructions!"
This is Dai Zicheng's short message.
Gao Junshan sent him a long telegram back, ordering him to build Shanghai in the direction of a big city, especially to build a large port on the Huangpu River.
For Shanghai, he has a clear classification, and the drawings have come out, but they have not yet been conveyed to Dai Zicheng, and now they have been sent to Shanghai by hand.
For the planning of Shanghai, it is basically done in accordance with the pattern of later generations, divided into Huangpu, Xuhui, Changning, Jing'an, Putuo, Hongkou, Yangpu, Minhang, Baoshan, Jiading, Pudong, Jinshan, Songjiang, Qingpu, Fengxian, Chongming 16 districts, the difference is that in Huangpu District and set aside a piece as the seat of the United Nations, here to build a United Nations Daxia, this United Nations Daxia is the landmark building of Shanghai.
Gao Junshan also instructively suggested that first of all, do a good job in the city's infrastructure construction, especially municipal construction, and in the 16 districts that have been demarcated, it is first necessary to do a good job in underground drainage shafts, and reserve the locations of subways, underground cables, and underground domestic water pipelines.
Subway?
That's right, it's the subway. Although it is not available now, it is necessary to reserve a place at the beginning of the planning of the city, so that it will be much more convenient when the subway is built in the future, and it will also save the cost of repeated excavation.
Not only has the subway reserved a place, but also the public transportation on the ground, buses, trams, and even the train station have already been planned, and the train station only asked Dai Zicheng to lay a good foundation, and did not give them the task of construction.
The railway station was built on the original site of the Shanghai Railway Station in later generations, which were designed by the engineers of later generations.
After the infrastructure construction in Shanghai was completed, he asked Dai Zicheng to go to Hong Kong, which was also built according to the scale of Hong Kong in later generations.
Of course, the most important thing is the port, without the port, Shanghai and Hong Kong will be difficult to develop, so he ordered Dai Zicheng to first build the wharf.
With cement, the construction of the wharf is not a problem, and after Dai Zicheng received a telegram from Gao Junshan, he began to prepare for the construction of a cement factory in Shanghai.
Building cement factories is a breeze for Dai Zicheng, who has already built five cement factories in western Xinjiang, and building two more cement plants in Shanghai is not a matter for him.
