Chapter 422: Establishment of the Southeast Asian Theater of Operations

After the missile attack in Boli and Shayeva, the Allied Commands in Southeast Asia such as Mountbatten and Zimla were directly destroyed. This also led to the Allied forces in Southeast Asia suddenly becoming scattered and fighting on their own.

Du Yuming did not let go of such an opportunity and launched a new round of all-out offensive. Instead of paying attention to the few remnants of Boli and Shayawa, he ordered his troops to shift the direction of the attack, bypassing these two cities and advancing toward the coastline of western Burma.

At the same time, the troops along the Burma Railway also launched an offensive against the allied forces to the west, adopting the method of advancing along the entire line and encroaching step by step, eliminating groups of allied forces.

The Yunnan region in China also began to attack Burma, with two jungle divisions mobilized from Borneo as the main force, advancing into Burma, and the front of the troops was directed towards the Indian region.

In the Indian region, south of the border between Tibet and Yunnan, it faced an attack from the Chinese Mountain Army for the first time. Led by a mountain division and coordinated with two second-line troops, it suddenly launched a surprise attack on the Bengal region of India.

This is the most powerful force that China has shown since its peace. For the sake of the unified deployment of these troops, Chen Shao specially set up the Southeast Asian Theater, with Du Yuming as the commander-in-chief of the theater, and he will command all future wars in Southeast Asia.

Nearly a million troops in the Southeast Asian theater of operations rushed to this small place in Burma at the same time. Although the attacking troops are generally the main forces, the merits of the second-line troops cannot be negated.

Due to the equipment, it is impossible to compare the attack speed with the main force equipped with assault rifles, nor can it compete with their combat skills. But their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of the Allies. It's still a lot higher. It is more than enough to clear the resistance in the rear.

It is precisely because of these second-line troops that the advance of the main forces will be faster. The rear support is handed over to the second-line troops, and the main force is responsible for attacking and then attacking, and there is no need to care about anything else at all. Can this not be fast?

There is no need to worry about the supply line being cut off, and there is no need to worry about the unsafe and truncated retreat in the rear. The three-sided offensive line inflicted heavy losses on the Allied forces in just three days.

With Mountbatten in command before, he still couldn't stop the attack of the Chinese soldiers. Now Mountbatten and the others have gone down there. These separate Allied forces were defeated more quickly. In many places, there were even large numbers of surrendered troops. In many cases, just one round of firepower coverage can make the allies inside obediently raise their hands and surrender.

Without the commander, the morale of the army is completely lost, let alone those Indian soldiers. It's a soldier of British and French nationality. There is also not much determination to continue fighting. Storms of surrender swept through the Burmese region. Although the Allies immediately sent a famous general to take Mountbatten's place, and also brought a lot of reinforcements. But not to mention who these famous generals are, that is, the reinforcements he led are still on the mainland of the United States at this time. He himself is still in the United States. Where is it possible to restrain the Allied soldiers in Southeast Asia.

Boli and Shayewa were still in the hands of the Allies, and the Allied soldiers who were still alive inside were also glad that the Chinese army did not attack them.

Collapsed walls, blackened bloodstains, hungry soldiers, this is what two cities look like a week later.

The Chinese army outside the city is no longer the Sixth Army, but the Chinese reserve force. Although their firepower was not as strong as that of the Sixth Army, it would not be difficult to surround only these two cities.

The warehouse was completely destroyed by a missile, which detonated the gunpowder inside, causing not only a large area of underground fortifications to collapse, but also caused huge casualties to the Allied soldiers. What's worse is that it also deprived the Allied soldiers of Chengli of food.

When the underground fortifications were built, it was not without consideration that the eggs could not be put in one basket. But nowhere else is safe, and only the warehouses in the city are safer. There's no way around if you don't put it all there.

For a week, although the Chinese side did not take the initiative to shoot even a small bullet into it, the Allied soldiers inside gradually felt the coming of death. Everything else is fine, but I can't find anything to eat.

One or two thousand Allied soldiers sat quietly next to each other every day, huddled in the dilapidated streets. There was no one left in the underground fortifications. The chain reaction caused by the explosion of the powder magazine buried countless soldiers alive. The fortification structure is no longer complete, and if you stay in the underground fortifications, you may collapse completely one day. In addition, the Chinese side stopped the offensive, so those surviving Allied soldiers consciously gathered on the ground.

In the first two or three days, they were able to find a little food, plus dry food that they carried with them and food that had been turned over from the corpses, to keep them afloat. From the fourth day onwards, there was less and less food, and by now, a single piece of chewing gum can trigger a massive snatch.

It's not that they didn't want to break through, but they couldn't rush out with huge casualties, and even attracted retaliatory attacks.

Several layers of machine-gun fire networks were set up outside the city, and the Chinese side was on high-intensity alert 24 hours a day, so that they also cut off the idea of breaking through.

Come in, here comes a heavyweight figure who can be said to be a heavyweight in Chinese officials. Yan Xishan, minister of public security and commander-in-chief of the People's Armed Police Force of China, accompanied by Liao Yaoxiang, chief of staff of the Southeast Asian Theater, came here to inspect the troops.

At present, all the troops in the Southeast Asian theater, including the reserve forces and the armed police force, are included in the Southeast Asian theater. However, as the commander-in-chief of the armed police force, Yan Xishan, a veteran of the National Defense Force, still came to inspect the troops in person, and at the same time to supervise the implementation of local public order work.

If you don't count the Allied soldiers in Boli and Shayawa, these places can now be called stable rear.

After a detailed discussion with the officers and soldiers of the armed police force, Yan Xishan and his party came to the outside of Boli City.

While looking at the ruined city wall in front of him, he listened to the detailed introduction of the commander of the armed police force responsible for surrounding the place.

"It is estimated that there are still nearly 20,000 Allied soldiers in the city at this time, and there is not a single civilian, because the local people are not allowed to live in it. ......, we have tens of thousands of armed police officers and soldiers here, responsible for besieging Boli City. In the space of a week, we repelled thirteen of their breakouts with heavy machine-gun fire from near and far, did not let go of a single Allied soldier, and captured thousands of people.

At present, according to the latest situation in the city, the Allied soldiers inside have been without food for at least two days, and their mood is very low. Last night, quite a few Allied soldiers had already sneaked out to surrender to us.

……”

After listening to the sound for a while, Yan Xishan was a little puzzled, and asked Liao Yaoxiang on the side: "Brother Liao, where are you singing?" What are these Allied soldiers left here for? ”

He didn't know the plans of the Southeast Asian theater of operations, and he only came here to pay attention to law and order work. He couldn't control anything else, but it didn't matter if he knew a little bit about it.

"General Yan, there are naturally our considerations here, it was the time for a large-scale attack before, and our commander didn't want to waste his troops to attack Boli and Shayawa, who were already of little value. These two cities have been deliberately ignored by us, and they are already in our pockets anyway, and there is no hurry. Liao Yaoxiang explained.

"So now, it's impossible to leave it alone!" Speaking of this, Yan Xishan's heart was still a little itchy, and he had an urge to exert his residual heat.

"General Yan is old and strong, but we already have a plan for now. There is no need to do anything, and the Allied soldiers inside will obediently come out and surrender. Liao Yaoxiang smiled knowingly, he seemed to see a little bit of Yan Xishan's thoughts, but he didn't say anything.

In other words, he is in charge of the armed police force, and it sounds like the commander-in-chief, commanding nearly one million armed police forces across the country, and he has great power. However, this also means that there is no chance of a big war, unless the main force cannot withstand it. Is that possible, though?

Therefore, Liao Yaoxiang, as a junior, did not say anything about the thoughts of this veteran who has dominated the party since the warlord period.

"Oh, then I want to see what kind of medicine you sell in this gourd." Yan Xishan looked a little surprised and spoke. The thoughts that had just arisen in my heart also dissipated.

"Then you're in for a treat." Liao Yaoxiang replied, and then ordered the adjutant beside him: "Tell them to start preparing, remember, the stronger the fragrance, the better." ”

"Yes."

Yan Xishan didn't ask anything more, but began to chat with Liao Yaoxiang all over the world, waiting for the things arranged by Liao Yaoxiang to come on the field.

Half an hour later, there were bursts of fragrance from outside Boli City, with different tastes, but they all had one thing in common, that is, incense, which made people drool when they thought about it. No, many armed police fighters are secretly swallowing their saliva.

"I see, I see." Yan Xishan, who smelled the fragrance, immediately understood Liao Yaoxiang's plan, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Huh!" Liao Yaoxiang smiled slightly and did not speak. And his eyes also looked at Boli City.

The food with many special spices is out of the pot one by one, and there are many large fans behind it to blow the fragrance into Boli City. These special spices can spread the taste of food far and wide, and one of the most out is commonly known as "mountain incense" by southerners, which means that the fragrance can be smelled across a mountain.

In a short time, many heads appeared on the ruined walls of Boli, and they swallowed as they looked out of the city. For these Allied soldiers, not to mention the fragrance, even the bland and tasteless wowotou, they all have a strong attraction.

In the open space five hundred meters away from the walls of Boli, a long row of tables was set up, and large pots of food were placed on the tables, seducing the Allied soldiers on the walls.

"Listen to the Allied soldiers in Boli City, go out of the city and surrender at once, and you will enjoy the delicious food prepared for you. If you are still obsessed, there is only one end, hug death! From the prepared loudspeakers came the voices of persuasion, in English, French, and Bengali, over and over again.

In Shayeva, the same scenario was played out at the same time. (To be continued.) )
