A certain unit of the Yamato Corps, which received reconnaissance information from the Navy SEALs, traveled through the jungle under the stars and night to rush to this mountain stream where the Burmese army was stationed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoThe Burmese chose to camp in mountain streams, on the one hand, it is convenient to get water, and on the other hand, it is convenient to have their backs against the cliffs, and only two ends need to be defended. However, this also became the reason for their defeat, as soon as the Tang army came up, they blocked both ends of the valley, and the Japanese soldiers established a fire defense line, so that the Burmese army could not break through either end at all, which also made the Burmese army a turtle in the urn. After the bitter battle, there was still no achievement, and the commander of the Burmese army finally admitted and surrendered to the Yamato Corps.

This time, the Yamato Corps did not kill more than 1,000 Burmese, and the captives were sent to Siam and became drudgery. Even though Siam had liberated the lower class serfs, the status of prisoners of war had not improved in the slightest, and they were still typical of forced labor, not to mention that they were still the feuding Burmese who invaded Siam.

This battle annihilated thousands of Burmese troops in one fell swoop, and made the Tang army's combat objectives continue to push forward. However, it did not take long for the elusive Burmese army to bypass the mountains and attack a village behind the Tang army, even though a company of Japanese soldiers resisted desperately, but the Burmese army was surprised and still destroyed the village controlled by the Tang army, the company suffered heavy losses, more than 70 people were killed, and the Burmese army also obtained dozens of Tang rifles through this battle. Of course, even if they get it, there is not much hidden danger, because the Burmese people have no bullets and cannot form a scale.

The only concern was the possibility that the Burmese might sell the S1 rifle to the neighboring British East India Company. Although the S1 rifle is no longer a sharp weapon in Datang, it is still an artifact level for European powers. The Europeans actually knew for a long time that the foreign trade muskets sold to them by the Tang were not the most advanced. The Don themselves used rear-loading rifles with metal cartridges instead of paper shells. With the gradual increase in the industrial strength of Britain, France and other countries. It's not that they don't have the ability to craft some similar weapons. But the difficulty of mass production still exists. Whether in terms of materials or technology, there is still an almost unbridgeable gap between European countries and Datang.

But the S1 rifle that has been circulated is bound to inspire the Europeans, at least in terms of design.

In fact, with the increasingly close exchanges between Datang and foreign countries, this situation has become more and more unavoidable. There are now hundreds of students from various European countries in Los Angeles, and even if they are not in the same class as their Tang classmates, the content of the professors is all abridged versions, but the efforts of Europeans to search for Datang knowledge can be said to be unsparing. As a relatively open country. Some knowledge can't be stopped at all.

For example, Datang's education department pays great attention to the popularization of knowledge, and Datang has many bookstores that sell books covering all kinds of knowledge. These books are of course open to ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty, and many people are able to study on their own through these books. In the beginning, the Tang people had strict control over the sales of books, and foreign students were not allowed to buy books involving high-end knowledge. For example, an electrician's textbook that can be found everywhere in bookstores explains basic electrical knowledge such as electromagnetic induction, as well as some basic principles of electric motors. Foreigners are not allowed to buy it. However, the relevant departments later found out. Many of the foreign students who come to Datang are spies, and they don't have a lot of money in their hands, so they will contact some profit-hungry guys, let those Tang people go into bookstores to buy similar professional books, and then pay them higher prices.

Strictly speaking, this has constituted the crime of espionage, but when the relevant units reflect on it, it is unanimously agreed that it is difficult to completely ban foreigners when knowledge is in a state of high openness and circulation in the country. Even if everyone doesn't buy books for foreigners, they can get them by kidnapping and stealing them.

It will take a long time for Europeans to absorb and digest the knowledge from the Tang Dynasty, and relying on this knowledge to build their own industrial system, such as researching self-made generators or manufacturing automobiles, will not be a one-time thing. For the Tang people, self-cherishing and concealment is not the best strategy, it is important for the protection of important technology and knowledge, but at the same time, the best way is to continue to develop itself.

From this point of view, although the S1 rifle has been circulated, the Tang people are not overly annoyed by it. Datang's lead is not only in a technology or a class of weapons, but in the overall leadership of the entire civilization level and ideology.

Speaking of the war with Burma, although the Tang army continued to win, the Burmese were not completely powerless to fight back, and often caused a little accident, of course, these small accidents were harmless. On the contrary, the Burmese army's own losses are slowly becoming unbearable.

Just when Meng Yun was about to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty, the Yamato Corps of four brigades rushed to Siam and threw themselves into the war. The Tang army, which was suddenly full of troops, suddenly trembled, and a brigade of troops entered Laos, and soon cleared the small Burmese army that was in rebellion there, and then the main force of the Yamato Corps of about 8,000 people crossed the border between Siam and Burma and entered Shan State (of course, it was not called Shan State at this time).

The local Tai toasts basically did not resist, and Chang Bin mobilized a part of the Siamese toasts who had a friendship with the local toasts before to carry out the necessary communication. Most of these local Tusi were realistic, and although the implementation of the new system of the Tang Dynasty's overseas territories had an impact on their power, the Tang people were obviously better than the Burmese. openly opposed to Tang Jun, there is not a single hair left, and everyone knows how to choose.

As a result, the Tang Army's military operations in Shan State were actually relatively limited, mainly against the Burmese army. In addition to the military aspect, the Tang people restrained the local Tusi, and Huairou demonstrated at the same time, and then ruled the entire region not particularly directly. According to the agreement, the local Tusi owns the land and is recognized by the overseas consular government. According to the new model, they hired peasant laborers for production, and at the same time abolished conscription and military service, and the Don Army was responsible for their safety. Those who did not obey were naturally purged as hostile elements.

Not long after the main force of the Yamato Corps stayed in Shan State, the Tang army conquered Loikaw, Taunggyi and other places, and was already aiming at the nest of the Burmese people and going to the Burma region. At this time, Meng Yun was in a hurry and urgently gathered the army to deploy defenses in the Upper Burma region to resist the Tang army. He didn't expect that he originally just wanted to show off his martial arts and stabilize the throne, but he ended up stabbing the hornet's nest. (To be continued.) )
