Chapter Seventy-One: Heading North to Lindy

After the total annihilation of the British army, the African People's Army fell silent for a week, and did not make any moves, but this also put the British troops in Lindy and Morogoro provinces and Iringa provinces, which are close to the jurisdiction of Lee Junhao, into a high degree of tension.

In the beginning, the British made a massive reduction in their forces, holding choke points or some of the larger cities. For example, some villages and towns were completely abandoned, which made the abandoned places in Britain very chaotic, and rape and robbery were repeated every day. Some people even swaggered and deceived in the name of Lee Jun-ho.

Finally, after a week of silence, on April 1, 1937, April Fool's Day, the African People's Army officially received an operational order for Lee Jun-ho to go north.

By this time, the roads in the area controlled by the African People's Army had already been built, so the troops marched several times faster and were soon assembled in Lukuledi district in Mtewara province. Of course, Li Junhao also came to Lukulaidi County with the army, and when the troops entered the city, the soldiers and civilians of Lukulaidi County warmly welcomed him.

In the evening, Nebron and Jeriola set up a family banquet for Lee Jun-ho, Durabo and several high-ranking officials, and the African People's Army forbade public banquets, and the rest of the entourage moved freely after dinner. After the family dinner, Nebron and He Gerio introduced some information about the Mtwara Provincial People's Army to Lee Jun-ho, and Lee Jun-ho said with a smile: "We will talk about business tomorrow, and we will talk about family affairs today." I haven't seen you both in over a month. Tanned even more. ”

When the two heard that Li Junhao actually saw that he was not talking about official business but chatting about family life, they were immediately confused. Recently, Lee Jun-ho has become obsessed with traveling, and he must look at a place and write a poem, which feels good, so he decided to show off his talent in front of two old subordinates.

At this time, Nibron spoke: "I heard that the chairman likes to practice Chinese calligraphy with a brush when you have been fine lately. I don't know if Jeriola and I will be able to see it. ”

Li Junhao's head turned black when he heard this, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Is this this?" I'm a personal pastime and an indecent person. Let's change the subject. ”

Although Li Junhao refused, Jeriola on the side brought over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that had been prepared. Li Junhao had no choice but to write "Go north to chase the UK, and succeed immediately". Although the eight characters are worse than those written by some calligraphers, they are already as decent as the vast majority of literati and writers.

Soon Lee Jun Ho was praised by Ni Brown and Jeriola, and Lee Jun Ho seemed extremely excited. But the time passed quickly, and it was about 10 o'clock in the night. At this time, Li Junhao changed his normal state and said: "It's time for us to talk about military matters." ”

Of course, Nebron and Jeriola knew Lee Jun-ho's intentions, but some things were easy to explain in the dead of night, and it was inevitable that the walls would have ears. So I've been accompanying Li Junhao, and now when I see Li Junhao talking about business, I also put away the slave statue. said with a serious face: "Chairman, even if you command, we will definitely complete it for you." ”

"At present, the flow of refugees in our base area is wave after wave, and the government, enterprises and institutions have been overwhelmed by these refugees. Food is a big issue. That is why we must launch the task of liberating the provinces of Lindi and Rogoro and Iringa as soon as possible. There can be no delay. Remember, liberating Lindy province, I will only give you one week. In any case, in a week, I will order the rest of the troops to march north in columns and march northward, with a view to liberating these three provinces by the beginning of May. Lee Jun Ho says:

After hearing this, Nebron pondered for a while and looked at Jeriola and said: "The task of the chairman is not a big problem, at the moment I have nearly half of the army in my hands, and it is not difficult to end the battle of Lindy in a week." ”

Before Lee Junhao and his team left for the south, the 123rd Army of the African People's Army in Lukuledi County, under the leadership of Lieutenant General Nebron, began to cross the town of Lyon, on the border between Lindy and Mtewala provinces, and stepped into Lindi Province. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd armies of the KPA marched separately to Lindy Province: the First Army marched from Nda, via Mutawa, Mutsu, to Lindy City, a coastal city in Lindy Province and the capital of Lindy Province; The Second Army marched from Mi Taka to the city of Kimanbi in Lindy Province via Mutua, Riwale, and Bariciva; The Third Army marched from Luculedi County to Woomanca in Lindy Province via Nuneluo and Midalai.

The British army in Lindi Province was panicked when they discovered that the African People's Army had entered Lindy Province, and mobilized 15,000 main British troops from Lindi City and Enjin Bridge to hurriedly reinforce them, and tens of thousands of black servants in various places were also ordered to stop the African People's Army, and the main force of the British army in the rear of Lindi Province was also continuously sent to the southern part of Lindi Province. Josno, the governor of Lindy, knew that if the south of Lindi was not protected, neither would Lindy!

After occupying Mutawa, the Second Army of the People's Army continued northward and occupied the city of Mutsu; After capturing Mutua, the Second Army marched towards Rivale and then took control of Barrichiva. Approaching the city of Kimanby, the Third Army entered the territory of Lindy Province and rushed all the way to Nuneluo, followed by the capture of Midola. Head to Whooshmanca in Lindy. Subsequently, the three armies attacked Lindi City at the rendezvous to complete the great cause of unifying Lindy Province.

Soon, the soldiers marched in automobiles, and did not encounter any decent resistance from the British along the way. Although tens of thousands of British troops also emerged during this period, they were immediately crushed. As a result, the 1st and 2nd armies of the African People's Army (APA) landed in Lindi on the same day.

But the next day passed, and the first and second armies of the African People's Army did not launch an attack on Lindy City, which made Nebron very annoyed, but when he saw the telegram sent by the second army and the first army, he suddenly had nowhere to vent his anger, but said angrily in his mouth: "The **** British Royal Navy Lao Tzu is not finished with you." ”

It turned out that the city of Lindy was close to the Indian Ocean, within the range of British naval artillery fire, adjacent to the Dipao Bay, where several British warships had been waiting for a long time. As a result, the attack was unprepared and was killed and wounded by naval guns, and hundreds of people were wounded. In the end, Nebron gave the letter to Lee Jun-ho again. When Lee Joon-ho saw the contents, he ordered his navy to set off. After more than a day's trekking, the navy finally approached the bay of Lindy, and this time the navy came with all submarines, and finally several troops were sunk and damaged, and several escaped.
