Chapter 1866 A Sudden Ceasefire

Although the Japanese base camp had issued a general retreat order to the Malayan and Burmese-Indian fronts, there were many problems in how to retreat and how to transport as many people and materials as possible to the nearest islands to avoid the advance of the Anjia army.

After all, if the commander of the An family army is allowed to drive straight in, not only will the troops and materials that could be withdrawn under the original normal resistance not be saved, but it may even bring about an even greater fiasco, which the base camp and the southern army headquarters do not want to see in any case.

On 3 November, the Japanese, Burmese, and Indian forces successively blasted the two major dams of Ganta and Rajer on the Ganges River, and one day later blew up the Thera Reservoir on the Brahmaputra River.

Still not satisfied, the Japanese army blasted the dam on the upper reaches of the Gornopuri River on 6 November, and Chittagong and the surrounding area instantly became an ocean.

The viciousness of the Japanese is far beyond the imagination of the world.

In this sudden flood, the huge flood peaks that are tens of meters high are frantically swept across the vast wilderness, sweeping away and destroying all life.

The flood did not cause much casualties, but the indigenous people on the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of the field were killed, and a month later, the flood slowly receded, and the various units of the Anjia Army entered the disaster area, and the rotting and deteriorating corpses could be seen everywhere in the mud, whether it was in the city or in the countryside, they were surrounded by sediment, and the depth was as high as about half a meter, and it was conservatively estimated that the indigenous civilians lost more than 10 million people.

In Malaya, Japanese troops set fire to the areas of Mount Besa, Mount Hinglou, Mount Yunbing, Chung Shan and Mount Bukit in the south of Rames City on November 4.

Due to the use of a large amount of fuel to support combustion, hundreds of fire points in the south-central part of Malaya, which was originally Linhai, were ignited, and quickly showed the trend of sparks, coinciding with many days of no rain, the hot weather mixed with the sea breeze blowing from the ocean, the fire borrowed the power of the wind, and instantly formed a forest fire area that stretched for hundreds of kilometers.

In a fire of this magnitude, in addition to the invasion of flames, there is also the terrible sāo disturbance of thick smoke, and people will experience symptoms such as dizziness and suffocation after inhaling a large amount of smoke.

On the one hand, they sent sappers to cut down a large number of trees using construction machinery to create a separation zone several kilometers wide, and on the other hand, they ordered the main force to retreat north to suppress bandits in the mountainous areas of north-central Malaya, and at the same time to assist the Democracy Movement Corps in its work.

Unlike the East Indies and Malaya, Burma did not have a large dam built by the British to destroy it, and there was no dense tropical rainforest in Malaya to set fire to it.

First, a brief introduction to the situation in Burma.

As early as mid-October, Wei Yihang's Sixth Army captured Daxi City and joined forces with Wang Huanyan's Third Mountain Army and Ye Qingfeng's Fourth Mountain Army, which had attacked from the east and connected to Dongzhi, Heihe, and Gelau cities. In late October, the road cluster successively captured the cities of Biaobei, Mula, Dagong and other cities, and successfully entered Pinmana, the Jiāo hub of the East Myanmar Railway.

In the West Road Cluster, Li Zhenhan's 21st Group Army, the 1st and 2nd Tank Brigades directly under the Front Army, and the 1st Independent Heavy Tank Brigade launched an attack along the railway along the Irrawaddy River in late September, linking Kemuda, Velu, Nadoki, Minjian, Kyaukbodong, Ringanqiang and other places. After more than a month of continuous fighting, the army occupied the central city of the Central Railway at the end of October. Due to the lack of logistical supplies and the shortage of fuel and ammunition, the troops temporarily rested in the city of Beyi to confront the Japanese troops who were building a defensive line on the Ruidang Mountains in the south.

After these two armies, Luo Lei's Fourth Army, which had successfully ended the fighting in Mandalay, assigned the task of garrisoning and maintaining law and order to the newly established Mandalay Garrison Division and the Jinsha Provincial Armed Police Corps, and together with the headquarters of the Front Army and the departments directly under it, marched south in mid-October, marched in the middle of the east and west road clusters, and by early November had already advanced to the line of Eastern Dunzhi and Sadwa.

Since the oil fields of Ringanqiang, Xiaofu, and Ayemai have just been recovered, and the oil wells and other facilities have been damaged by the Japanese army, it will take at least two or three months to resume exploitation, and at the same time, Burma's oil refineries are mainly concentrated in the Yangon area, and the fuel supply of the front-line troops is heavily dependent on supplies from the rear.

Of course, the Japanese army did not know about these circumstances.

In order to resolve the threat once and for all, on the night of 5 November, the Japanese army in southern Burma launched a surprise attack on Chinese villages and communities in Yangon, Bago, and Pak Sang, and in a short period of time, abducted more than 100,000 overseas Chinese and imprisoned them in concentration camps.

Subsequently, on the front line of the despicable Sino-Japanese confrontation, the Japanese army sent special personnel to enter the position of Li Zhenhan's 21st Group Army with white flags, and took out hundreds of photos of hostages to prove the determination of the Japanese army.

Xia Jian, who was having a meeting in Xinjing, received an urgent report from the front line, felt that things were tricky, and immediately found An Yi.

An Yi thought about it for a while, thinking of the top-secret information he had received before, sighed in his heart, and immediately made a reply: In order not to anger the Japanese and take risks, the Burmese troops will consolidate the existing areas from now on, clear the remnants of the Japanese army and the indigenous army, hoard war materials, and prepare for the next stage of the war.

In this way, there was a strange ceasefire between China and Japan in early November, and the Japanese army seized this rare opportunity to organize a retreat with all its might, and the Anjia Army also began to conduct a dragnet investigation of the newly occupied areas to get a clear picture of the situation in the newly occupied areas.

At the same time, the military forces of all sides have concentrated their efforts to treat the wounded and sick who have reached a total of 124,956 and have informed the families of more than 38,000 martyrs of the bad news about their sons or husbands.

Under the deliberate destruction of the Japanese invaders, more than 1 million indigenous people were found in the newly occupied land of more than 600,000 square kilometers in the recovered north-central Malaya, central and northern Burma, and the East Indies.

These remnants of the natives, either hidden in the nearby mountains and forests, or hiding in their own cellars, because the food was taken away by the Japanese army, most of them were malnourished, some of the young NV who should have been green and beautiful, skinny, lack of clothing covered by them, ** shriveled down in front of Xiong, like a deflated balloon, which makes people look extremely sad.

However, war is not all bad for these regions.

Taking the East Indies as an example, the people here have long been exploited by religion, landlords and usurers, and the Hindu caste system has made rigid rules on the status of high and low from the very beginning, and the caste groups, which account for the vast majority of the population, must always endure poverty, backwardness, and dedication to the high caste from the moment they land.

War has destroyed the very foundations of all this existence.

In the eyes of the Japanese army, all Indians were the same, they were all living as objects of conquest and enslavement, and a large amount of land was directly confiscated by the Japanese army and resold to the Japanese chaebol to grow the prescribed cotton, hemp, sugarcane and other cash crops;

In order to plunder the wealth, the Japanese army ruthlessly knocked down these temples one by one, the statues were transported away, and the temples were dug three feet into the ground, and the elders and believers who came forward to stop them were all ruthlessly killed by the Japanese army.

It is important to know that the elders of these temples are mostly Brahmans and Kshatriyas, who are in charge of the birth, old age, sickness and death of a region, and have a clear hierarchy of people living in the area, and at the same time, they also serve as administrators and judicial officials, and have the power of life and death over the local people.

The disappearance of this class will have an unimaginable impact on rural India.

After the An Jiajun took over the power from the Japanese, while distributing food relief to the aborigines, it also declared that all fields, forests, ponds, and houses in India belonged to the government of the Republic of South China, abolished all the privileges enjoyed by the high-caste people, distributed land and houses equally among the aborigines according to the family population, and burned the confiscated caste records in public and replaced them with simple household registers to reassure the people.

After half a year of training, the cadres of the Democracy Movement Corps, who have become proficient in Hindi conversation, have gone to various places in the form of village-based work teams to use life-saving food and yào products to open the way, preach the land and ethnic policies of South China, and tell the people about the rights and obligations they enjoy, and this measure has achieved very good results.

The indigenous people, who make up the vast majority of the population, felt that they could enjoy so many preferential treatments for the first time.

The cities of the occupied territories are crowded with refugees from all directions.

The Democracy Movement Corps, together with the garrison and the armed police force, set about establishing military management committees, building regional party offices of the National Democratic Party, setting up offices in neighborhoods, and setting up neighborhood committees in residential areas to coordinate disaster relief matters.

According to the plan, the young and middle-aged people among the indigenous refugees will be used to repair the nearby railways and roads damaged by the Japanese army, repair urban houses, widen streets, dredge sewers, and work to obtain food for survival, while children will be sent to Hope Primary School to learn Chinese language and cultural knowledge, and the few elderly people will be engaged in simple tasks such as cleaning the streets.

In this way, the situation in Hunluàn was immediately changed.

According to the plan, except for a small amount of land allocated to the local indigenous people, the rest of the land in these areas of the Ganges River basin, which is extremely well cultivated, will be paid by the Chuannan Group from the state treasury for a ransom of up to 500 million Chinese yuan, and then disposed of by its subordinate agricultural companies.

After the agricultural company sends a special person to measure it, it will distribute the land evenly and set up industrial factories -- farms.

Most of these farms are led by disabled soldiers, and the workers mainly hire the families of martyrs and disabled soldiers, and at the same time, FUNVs from single-parent families with difficult families are recruited from southwest China and South China to serve as cooks and breeders. According to the output of agricultural products and personal performance, the farm gives rewards and punishments in addition to wages, so as to actively produce stinging ji.

If the farm carries out large-scale agricultural mechanized planting, mainly sowing rice and wheat, if the planting variety is changed, it needs to be reported to the company, the group headquarters and the Ministry of Agriculture, and the three must agree at the same time before proceeding, otherwise the person concerned will be fined a huge amount of money enough to destroy the property.

The main reason for this is to ensure the supply of staple food in Nanhua, so that there is no panic when there is food in hand.
