Chapter 221: The First Confrontation with Comrade Li
Wu Nu now wants to spit on Yang Feng's face, and the no-fly zone, what kind of logic is this? We are not allowed to fly in the sky of our house, but you can fly at will, and even shoot down our plane at will, I have seen a bully, but I have never seen such a bully!
There are also combat planes on both sides, does Li Zongren have combat planes?
However, Yang Feng bullied him.
He is really helpless, except to protest against this hegemonic behavior, he has nothing to do, and he can't even turn protest into condemnation, because he is afraid of provoking Yang Feng to drive the aircraft carrier directly to Yangon, with Tianzhu and Java, he knows very well that in front of Yang Feng, it is best to maintain restraint.
If you don't restrain yourself, you can't do it, just his little air force, just those eight vampires and dozens of Spitfires, if you really don't restrain yourself, people will raise their hands and shoot them to death, you must know that people have stationed a fighter wing in Imphal alone, a jet fighter jet fighter like Spitfire, which is used as a trainer in the Daming Air Force.
So at the same time as the protest negotiations, Wu Nu also issued an order to his air force, of course, not to order the air force to prohibit entering the no-fly zone, which would be too embarrassing, and the bad guys are also dignified, so he used the excuse that the Karen Alliance had launched a rebellion again, and the army on the Eastern Front was insufficient, so he transferred the air force to Zhen to suppress the rebels of the Karen Alliance.
Anyway, since Yang Feng said it, he would definitely do that, Wu Nu is very sure of this, Yang Yuan has always been true to his word, in fact, less than half an hour after the announcement of the establishment of a no-fly zone, more than a dozen meteors of the Ming army appeared in Meng Gong, so instead of leaving the air force in Mandalay, he stared. It's better to be transferred to bomb the Karens!
All right. Mandalay is actually on the 22nd parallel.
"Karen people? I really took the opportunity to pick up the cheap ones! β
Yang Feng was very interested in this news.
"The Karen Union has been making a fuss. It's been several years, don't look at these long-necked poor, but they are very capable of fighting, some time ago they even almost hit Yangon, U Nu can't do anything about them, the main force of the Burmese army was watching them on the eastern front before, and now there is such a good opportunity, they will definitely not miss it. β
Yan Enyu, who was summoned to Xilong by Yang Feng, said.
"In that case. I will go to Li Zongren, bring all the old arms that he has eliminated, find a smuggler or something, and sell them to the Karen people cheaply. β
Yang said lightly.
Well, it's good business, and those broken guns are all back to the furnace anyway. But it's a good thing for the Karen people, if they can divide another Karen state in Honsawady. It's also a good thing, these guys and Li Zongren don't play with each other in the east and west, and they just want to eat the territory of the Burmese people happily, and it will be very interesting to play the Three Kingdoms in this place in Honsavady in the future.
Now Yang is always full of irrepressible enthusiasm for his neighbors, just like the rice people of later generations, he always wides his eyes and refuses to let go of even a glimmer of hope.
"Do they have a lot of warriors like this who fight for freedom?"
Yang Feng asked Yan Enyu.
"FΓΌhrer, they have one hundred and thirty-five nationalities, and every other ethnic group except the Burmese is likely to be an anti-Zhengfu armed force."
Yan Enyu said with a smile.
"Ah, in that case, a special department is needed to deal with these warriors, and you will be responsible for this work in the future." Yang Feng said with satisfaction.
At this time, Li Zongren's army was still moving south, and after easily conquering Mengyang, he immediately seized Mau Lu before the reinforcements of the Honsavady arrived, and then defeated the main force of the counterattacking Burmese army at Mau Lu.
Because there is no interference from the Burmese aircraft, Li Ben has played the artillery fire to the fullest, although the infantry weapons of the Seventh Army have not yet begun to be reequipped, but as the main attack force, the artillery is all up to date, in the battle of Maulu, not only rocket artillery, even the M40 self-propelled artillery have been fired on the battlefield, 155 mm heavy artillery bombarded the Honsawardy people.
However, after conquering Mauru, he immediately stopped his advance.
There is no such a good combat environment in the future, the vast majority of this place in northern Myanmar is deep mountains and dense forests, and the Burmese army can only take two roads if it wants to go north, one is to go north along the Irrawaddy River and turn to Ba Mo to Mizhina, this road is farther, and there is only one road along the same high mountains and dense forests. After Li Zongren gave up Bamo, he deployed the 46th Army and Yu Chengwan's 26th Army along the line, not to prevent the Burmese army, but to prevent the Xinhua army from crossing the border.
The other way, which is Li Benyi's attack route, is the shortest and best to take, from Meng Gong along the Mengyang River Valley to the south, after passing Maolu into the Mezha River Valley, all the way south to the great plain in the middle reaches of the Irrawaddy River. On both sides of him are hundreds of kilometers deep tropical rainforest, not to mention this time, even in modern times, there is no way to go, that is, some Kachin mountain people are active, and the latter will not attack him, so just rush straight like a wild boar, but after Maolu will not work.
Out of here, he basically entered the main settlement area of the Burmese people, and the transportation was gradually convenient, and he would be guilty of the taboo of going deep alone, and he had to wait for the 48th Army to cooperate with the action behind him to reform the most powerful double fists of the Gui family.
But at this time, Wu Nu was already panicking, after all, in addition to failure or failure, it was useless for Wu Nai Win to go out in person, and the battle of Mau Lu was personally commanded by the commander-in-chief of the Burmese army, and as a result, the two divisions made it easy for the family to fight back. Li Zongren has only been responsible for the offensive until now, and if his remaining four armies are all put into the battlefield, even the most optimistic estimate is that he can hold the Irrawaddy River defense line in Mandalay.
Of course, this was only the most optimistic estimate, because U Nai Win, who had been bombarded back by 155-millimeter heavy artillery, told him in frustration that with the firepower of Li Zongren's troops, if he wanted to hold the defense line of the Irrawaddy River, he would have to mobilize at least all the land forces in the country to barely have some hope.
But the problem is that the rebellion of the Karen people is also dangerous! Although these bastards are shameless, their combat effectiveness is indeed not weak, as far as the three divisions currently left on the Eastern Front can stop them, it is difficult to say whether they can stop them, Li Zongren can't reach Yangon, but they are right next to them! The last time I almost surrounded Yangon, I still remember it vividly.
As for the expansion of the army, needless to say, even if he expands another hundred divisions, even those recruits who can't even put guns, going to the battlefield is nothing more than consuming some other people's bullets, not to mention that he doesn't have so many guns to arm recruits, even if he buys it, it can't be bought in a short time.
Under these circumstances, Wu Nu finally made an extremely important decision, he quickly established diplomatic relations with Comrade Li and invited the Xinhua army to cross the border to attack Li Zongren's troops.
"Lao Pan, I think we are friends, you are not righteous like this, but they are also their own compatriots, although you were enemies before, but now they have admitted defeat and withdrawn, it is a bit chilling for you to help outsiders kill them all."
Yang Feng, who had just returned to Yingtianfu, said to Lao Pan very directly.
"Your Excellency, what are you talking about?"
Lao Pan said quietly.
Of course, he knew what Yang Feng was talking about, and Comrade Li did make the decision to accept the invitation of the Burmese army, after all, such a People's Chinese army staying in northern Myanmar would definitely become a big trouble for them in the future, but this matter is still under secrecy, where did Yang Feng know?
"Everyone is a smart person, so there is no need to pretend, my reconnaissance plane flies in Yunnan in northern Burma every day, can't you see a large number of your troops on the ground gathering on the border?"
As Yang Feng spoke, he took out a stack of aerial photos from the side, which showed a large number of Xinhua troops assembled in Yingjiang, with at least one army, and some other photos of the Yunnan-Burma Highway, all of which were Xinhua soldiers marching in a circle of branches, and some of the enlarged close-ups, even the appearance of the generals on horseback could be judged. Yang Feng had just learned from the inside that Comrade Li was preparing to leave the country to fight the day after the Air Force sent over the abnormal movement of the Xinhua Army.
And that's just to cover up the question of his real sources.
Lao Pan frowned and said, "Your Excellency, your plane is a blatant invasion of our airspace. β
"I don't think it's your airspace, in my opinion, it's the airspace of the Ming Empire, of course I can fly if I want, the next time you have the ability to expel my reconnaissance plane, it makes sense to say this again, but it's useless to say this now.
Well, I can also be very honest with you, Li Zongren and I are just going to let them stay in northern Burma, they have all been equipped with the new equipment I provided, but I will not allow them to develop northward again, even if they want to expand, they must expand to the territory of the Honsavady people, otherwise I will stop supplying arms to them, so you don't need to worry about them counterattacking, I will not allow this to happen.
But I will not allow you to cross the border to attack them, if you cross the border to attack, not only will all the cooperation between our two sides stop now, but I will also bomb your army, including the bombing of Yunnan, and even I will provide arms to the bald guys, I think I have given you face very much, then I also hope that you can give me face, if you don't even give me this face, then we are enemies. β
Yang Feng said unceremoniously. (To be continued.) )
