Shu Yude, who had a pale face, trembled and walked down Xigao Mountain. Occasional gunshots and fighting could be heard behind him, and some stumps and corpses could be seen from time to time along the way. The bloody scene made him almost unable to suppress the disgust in his heart, and he stopped from time to time to spit out some sour water.

After he came down the mountain, he immediately connected with a group of soldiers in the forward position, and at the same time, the ten Qing soldiers who escorted him down the mountain also obediently handed over their swords and guns and became prisoners.

The sound of fighting on the mountain is still the same, Feng Adeng's troops were defeated by Song Weifeng and Gao Gu, who suddenly defected, but there were five or six hundred men and horses led by Du Feng personally on the top of the mountain, and when Song Weifeng and Gao Gu's men and horses drove the defeated troops to attack the mountain, Zhao Erhuan's team was almost defeated.

"General Wang, little one...... The little one is fortunate to live up to its mission. has persuaded Song Weifeng and Gao Gu to come down. Hearing the sound of fighting on the mountain, it must have been Zhao Erhuan who also defected. The little ones congratulate the adults and make new contributions. Shu Yude said to Wang Lian with a sneer.

"What are the conditions for Gao Gu and Song Weifeng?" Wang Lian had a satisfied smile on his face. This battle is easy, the Qing soldiers fought by themselves, and Shu Yude, a white fat man, still has two uses.

"Nope. No conditions. Shu Yude's fat head shook like a rattle, and hurriedly said: "General Wang, those two have no conditions, no conditions." Heavenly soldiers Xuanhe, the number of days has been set, and those of us who fled into Myanmar have already made up their minds that what they are seeking now is just a way to live, how dare they still have him? They have already killed Qingnu Feng Arden, showing their sincerity. I only pray that the general will send reinforcements sooner. ”

When the remnants of the Qing army in Yunnan and Guizhou fled into Burma, the world was clearer than the form after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Back then, Li Dingguo and Zheng Chenggong were able to fight with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although the Qing army obviously had an advantage, but what about the previous Qing army? Chen Hanna swept through thousands of armies, and after the Qing army's expectations of the horse team were shattered, there was no other strength to rely on. Moreover, the form in the area ruled by Chen Han is far more stable than that of the place after the Eight Banners entered the customs.

The Fu Han army, under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty, obviously won the support of many Han people, even if their policies caused Chen Han a lot of trouble at the beginning.

However, under the strong military guarantee of Chen Han, the backlash of those local gentry and landlords never caused a catastrophe. Some of the riots were easily suppressed by Chen Han's local soldiers and horses.

So it is clear to anyone who is not confused that the Manchus have no hope left. They hid in Myanmar without the mentality of the Thirteen Families of Kuidong, but how many of them had the mentality of Li Laiheng, Yuan Zongdi, Liu Tichun, Hao Yongzhong and others who would rather die than give in and never surrender?

That's very little, very little. Even Zhangbao fled to Britain, and the flight of a large number of Han troops also reflected their fighting spirit from one side. It can be said that as long as there is a little bit of preferential treatment, many people will surrender.

The first Qing prisoners of war who were reformed through labor have already been released, and although many people died during this period of reform-through labor, there are still many, many people who did not die. The Han soldiers of the Green Battalion were not banner soldiers, and the latter were thrown into the mines, or went to the hot and humid south to open farms, which was more dangerous; Many of the latter will be building roads and ports, and even if they enter the mines, they will be used sparingly, and even if they reach the new land in the south, they will survive in safer land.

The news continued to flow into Burma, causing a greater impact on the Han army.

Gao Gu and Song Weifeng, who were unwilling to give up a trace of life, joined Feng Arden at the last moment, even if they didn't get any promises, even if Song Weifeng was still a Han army bannerman.

……

The enemy started infighting on his own, and with the cooperation of the surrendered troops, a group of troops easily packed up the capital. Wang Lian left two teams of troops to escort the troops, and the rest of the troops rushed to Mubang City, where there should still be a tough battle waiting for him.

He hoped to catch the Burmese off guard, but the Burmese were noticeably more vigilant than he had thought.

In the battle situation, the Burmese army in Mubang City gathered seven or eight thousand people, almost twice the size of a regiment, but the Burmese army was always on the defensive and did not intend to fight hard with the national defense force in the field.

This was already reflected in the battle between the Burmese army and the Qing soldiers, and the Burmese army's field combat capability was relatively weak, but its defensive strength was obviously stronger by relying on the terrain. The war between the Qing army and Burma, if it weren't for Mingrui's rash advance and the supply of the back route was cut off by the Burmese army, it might not have been so badly defeated.

The 17,000 troops of the Mingrui Department only fled back with 10,000 people, regardless of how many 17,000 people actually there were on paper, it can be said that Mingrui not only buried himself in that battle, but also lost 6,000 or 7,000 elites.

And the Burmese also knew that when the Qing army fought against the Fu Han army, just as they resisted the Qing army at the beginning - it was completely a turtle with a shrunken head. It can be seen that in the field battle, the predecessor of the Wehrmacht, the Fu Han Army, far surpassed the Qing Army, and now how dare the Burmese fight with the Wehrmacht? Even if the total strength of a regiment is more than half of theirs.

"This is the exact opposite of the attitude of the Burmese towards the Siamese army!" In the Nanjing Imperial Palace, Chen Ming angrily threw the report of the Burmese war situation on the table. Defense, defense, the Burmese can only defend, they built fortresses with solid stones and wood, such defenses can easily withstand bullets and small-caliber mortars, artillery, and then the latter can still destroy the fortress after a long time, but it takes too long. The Burmese built forts in Lashio behind the city of Mubang to resolutely resist the attack of the Wehrmacht.

If it is a field battle, if it is a head-to-head duel, the opponent who can obviously be solved in one or two battles has been delayed for so long, his eldest son is going to return to Nanjing from Sichuan, Chengjun Public School is about to open, and the Fifth Mountain Infantry Brigade is still trapped on the other side of the Nandu River.

However, in the southern battlefield of Yangon, the Burmese army and the Siamese army fought one battle after another, and they would take the initiative to attack and ambush the Siamese.

The purpose of the Battle of Yangon was not only to occupy a single city of Yangon, but also to the surrounding areas of Yangon, Bago and Bosheng, it can be said that the purpose of this battle was the entire Irrawaddy Delta.

So the resistance of the Burmese was very fierce. The delta region of any place can be said to be the most suitable area for human growth and life, and the Irrawaddy River Delta can be the richest piece of land in the whole of Myanmar, and it is also in order to drive the Siamese people into the sea and cut off Siam's strategy of opening up a second battlefield, Ava constantly sent troops south to Yangon.

And there are not so many mountains in this part of Yangon, but there are still a lot of high and low hills, and more importantly, the forests here are just as large. Meng Mang made full use of this convenient condition and took advantage of the favorable terrain to constantly attack the Siamese army. Now Siam has only taken the disastrous city of Yangon with the help of Chinese sailors.

In the previous battle, the Shwe Daguang Pagoda, which is very symbolic in Myanmar, was blasted out of several holes by artillery. Some of the fallen gold and gems were also looted in the rebellion, but Myanmar is a Buddhist country after all, where Buddhism is the symbol of the whole country, and the Shwedagon Pagoda is a symbol of Myanmar's worship of Buddhism, which is of special significance. Therefore, before the Marine Corps completely took control of this place, the damage encountered by the Ruida Light Tower was not very serious.

The countless gold and thousands of dazzling gems inlaid on the exterior of the Shwedagon Pagoda have not been plundered by the defeated soldiers except for the 'free fall', and the top of the tower, which is completely cast in gold, the double and double diamonds, the jade carved statues of sitting and lying Buddhas and the Rakshasa statues, have not suffered major damage. In addition to the Shwedagon Pagoda itself, several small pagodas outside the Shwedagon Pagoda were also hit by shells. After Chen Ming received this news, he could be said to be relieved.

He didn't want to colonize Burma like the British, nor did he invade like the Japanese, not to mention the murderous and greedy Britain and Japan, and he didn't completely destroy the Shwedagon Pagoda, so Chen Han wanted to protect the Shwedagon Pagoda. This is a symbol of the Burmese people, who looted the Shwedagon Pagoda before the imperial army had completely taken Burma, which was too easily resented and revolted by the locals.

Now the Siamese side has sent the news that the flying pigeon will fly directly from Siam to Yunnan-Guizhou, and then go all the way down the river in Sichuan, and will soon arrive in Nanjing. Although a number of carrier pigeons will be lost along the way, this method of delivering the message is really fast.

According to the original plan, the armies of the north and south of Siam should be divided into the city of Gwa. The Southern Route Army marched north from Yangon, and the Northern Route Army moved south from Bago, intending to connect the city with a large network, and at the same time open up the communication lines between the two places, and at the same time strangle the Burmese army during this period as much as possible. In order to deal with the gathering of troops and horses and waiting for Bosheng. The latter is an important port city in Myanmar, on the left bank of the Pak Seng River in the Irrawaddy River Delta, 250 li from the mouth of the river in the south and about 300 li from Yangon in the east. After Meng Mang lost the two coastal towns of Yangon and Bago, he transferred his headquarters to Bosheng.

The Gongbang Dynasty was not the previous Donghu Dynasty, and its kingdom of Ava was quite far from the Irrawaddy River Delta, and if the Siamese army in Yangon and Bago dared to abandon Bosheng and attack Ava directly to the north, Meng Mang would definitely give the Siamese people a taste of the cut off of back transportation. In order to deal with the Burmese to the greatest extent, Zheng Xin, who personally led the troops to Yangon, was the best to capture Bo Sheng.

Meng Mang was also unwilling to give up Bosheng, and was gathering troops with all his might, which was a great thing for the Siamese army at that time. Rather than fighting every city, it is better to gather troops in one place and fight to the death. It is precisely for this reason that the Siamese army will attack in two directions to make a sweeping momentum, the fastest to clear the Burmese guerrillas between Rangoon and Bago, and then the city of Bosheng will be wiped out.

It is not that there is no rain in Myanmar during the dry season, and when it does, it is not a light rain.

It was just after noon when a strong wind blew violently. Soon the sky was cloudy, and then it rained before two o'clock. It started with a light rain, and soon it became heavier and heavier. On the rugged mountain road, more than 500 soldiers of the Kuan Apaiwang Division fell on the slippery mountain road from time to time. The sound of "snapping" is endless.

Kuan Apaiwang was a battalion officer, and his Siamese royal janissary was the first Siamese army to be sinicized with pure firearms. To be able to become a battalion officer in one of the battalions, Kuan Apawang, who is just 27 years old this year, is very good, and he comes from a famous family.

"Sir, it's raining too much! Do you want the soldiers to hide from the rain first?! "The captain of the first team on guard in the wind and rain leaned into Kuan Apaiwang's ear and shouted vigorously." With such heavy rain, the Burmese people will not brave the rain. We still have plenty of time. ”

"No! The troops cannot stop. Kuan Apayan shook his head and shouted firmly. Then he turned his head and shouted at the guards who were following him left and right, "Tell everyone in the troops!" Let's do it harder! Climb over these mountains and you'll be quaint! If we stop it before the Burmese pass through the Ghose, everyone in our battalion will be a hero. In order to be able to identify our enemies as soon as possible. What is this little rain?! Don't forget what the instructor said to us at the beginning, soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, and our task is to preemptively block the antique. Now, even the knives in the world have to rush for me! Kuan Apayan shouted loudly. But the rain was too loud. What he said couldn't even be heard by himself!

The flame of hope that had just ignited in the eyes of the guards around him was extinguished. His words of encouragement did not excite the guards either.

It's not cold here, though. But when the rain came down, it was still quite cold. There were no ponchos in their battalion equipment, and the only thing that could protect them from the wind and rain was the hats on their heads. Unlike the Chinese mountain infantry brigades, there are ponchos in the equipment, made of canvas, which are usually stacked in the sidecar. In case of rain, you can use it immediately!

The rain soaked the clothes and stuck to the body, which made people feel very wet and cold, and what made the soldiers feel even more uncomfortable was the slippery mountain road. The slippery mountain road is that no matter whether you are a battalion officer or an ordinary soldier, in front of it is the emperor Lao Tzu is also equal to the name Huazi, and I can't count how many times I fell. Everyone, including Kuan Apaiwang, was covered in mud and was extremely slimy.

But Kuan Apaiwang insisted on sending troops on guard.

The Burmese had a completely different attitude towards Siam and the Wehrmacht, and they would take any place where the Siamese army had neglected to deal a heavy blow to them, so the Kuan Apawang battalion was still on guard during the march.

In fact, Kuan Apayan would have liked to take a break. How good it would be to wait for the rain to stop before walking. The clothes on my body are wet and cold, and I make people shiver! The wind and rain are a very annoying thing for the Siamese who likes warm temperatures, but he can't. If he had let go of the hateful Burmese army because of his own negligence, Kwan Apaiwang would not have been able to forgive himself. Of course, his superiors will not forgive him.

Kuan Apaiwang has lost count of how long he hasn't trekked. The Janissaries' range of activities was in Thonburi, and Kuan Apaiwang rarely went to Bangkok, which was just across the wall, except for training during training. As a firearms-only unit, he also prefers a double-line, platoon-and-shoot approach to hand-to-hand combat around the rainforests and hills.

According to the intelligence, there was a certain discrepancy between the Burmese and the rest of the army, but he was not sure that the difference would continue to increase and eventually intercept the hateful Burmese harassing force in Guse.
