Chapter 1055: Chen Bing's Border
, Chapter 1055 Chen Bing Border
The British Governor in Burma sent the consul of northern Burma, Mt. Estron. Lord George's vigorous protest is insignificant, even negligible, but it is a big thing to put on the British, who have always been arrogant and have never looked at the Chinese squarely.
The point is that the British, who have always been arrogant, feel that their dignity has been provoked, which greatly hurts the self-esteem of the British gentlemen, and they are Chinese who have been weak for a hundred years, and dare to challenge the empire on which the sun never sets.
In fact, this protest was forwarded to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chongqing State Government through the British Embassy in China.
Running out of ideas, anxious to turn around, a big man with a lot of brains, said as if he had an epiphany: "Everyone, the matter is related to the British, and it involves major matters of diplomatic relations between the two countries, none of us can be the master, according to the foolish opinion of the brothers, report to Chairman Jiang, please make a decision, and we will do it, we also have a charter, right?" ”
Everyone roared and promised, this protest letter was sent to Chairman Jiang's hands, and when Chairman Jiang saw it, he became angry at that time, "Niang Xipi, these fools of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, what is the matter with the trouble caused by Tang Qiuli at the border, handed over to me?" Do you still want me to apologize to the British, compensate for it, sue the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and let the British directly make Tang Qiuli to make representations, or that sentence, Tang Qiuli represents the national government. ”
With a light kick, Chairman Jiang regarded the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the state government as a big problem, and kicked it at the feet of Tang Qiuli, and all the bigwigs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs threw themselves to the ground for Chairman Jiang's admiration, "It's still our chairman who is wise, this matter was originally provoked by Vice Chairman Tang, why did the Ministry of Foreign Affairs carry the black pot for him, and the Tai Chi kung fu of the commission is amazing." ”
In this way, after three turns and two turns, the British protest letter, when they arrived at Tang Qiuli, they saw this young vice chairman, with an extremely contemptuous sneer on the corner of their mouths, and the gentry with good ears heard Chen Feng's words, everyone stopped laughing and looked at Tang Qiuli.
Mr. Zhang Youde, a local celebrity in Tengchong and a retired former county magistrate, stepped forward with concern and said: "Vice Chairman Tang, this is the consistent method of the British, when I was the county magistrate, I dealt with many similar diplomatic disputes. ”
Zhang Youde is an honest official, deeply popular, in the county magistrate, has made great achievements in local construction, the greatest merit is to establish the Tengchong local county school in Tengchong, so that some children of poor families, have the opportunity to receive education, in addition, Tengchong since ancient times has a rich literary style, out of a lot of celebrities.
For such a respected old gentleman, Tang Qiuli did not dare to be arrogant at all, during the banquet, he had been carrying out the rites of disciples, and when he heard Zhang Youde say this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked: "Mr. Zhang, has the border dispute with the British always been based on our concessions and compensation?" ”
Zhang Youde smiled bitterly, shook his head again and again, and sighed and said: "It has always been the case, Kokang and other areas in northern Myanmar, during the Qing Dynasty, were still within the jurisdiction of our China, after the Opium War, Burma became a British colony, forcing the Qing court to sign a border treaty, and these places became the territory of the British. ”
"In order to make a living, the border people went into the mountains to engage in production and hunting, and sometimes strayed into the area and were caught by the British, which was a big diplomatic incident, and they had to make the local government apologize and extort huge compensation, but the British and the Burmese who worked for the British deliberately occupied our land, and the local government sent troops to drive them away, and the British faced each other by force, and in the long run, many border lands were so tacitly accepted as British places, and they resigned in anger, and they were unwilling to endure humiliation."
Tang Qiuli's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said: "Whether it is the British or the Japanese, they are all the same and insatiable greedy for our land, but the Japanese are robbers who fight with open fire, and the British are profiteers who are scheming and scheming, all the same," Mr. Zhang Youde nodded with deep sympathy.
The next day, Tang Qiuli took Mei Xue, Shanhu and others to the place where the Japanese army entered the Savage Mountain Pass, where the Fourth Brigade of the Corps directly under the guard was on guard, and the mountain pass was strictly controlled, and the brigade commander Wang Chengye heard that the division commander had personally come to inspect, and hurriedly drove here, and did not forget to order a battalion of troops to establish a cordon at the place where the division commander inspected.
As soon as he jumped out of the car, Wang Chengye hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Report to the division commander, Wang Chengye, the commander of the Fourth Brigade of the directly subordinate corps, come to report and ask the division commander to give instructions!" He hadn't forgotten that he had questioned the division commander's orders, but until now, the discomfort in his heart had never been vented.
Tang Qiuli glanced at Wang Chengye and said: "It's Brigade Commander Wang, what's the matter, seeing so many Japanese soldiers, all of them burrowing into the big forest, feeling sorry and greedy, I don't feel very comfortable, as the division commander, Tang Qiuli, what kind of bullshit order did he give?" Wang Chengye replied loudly: "Division commander, soldiers regard obedience to orders as their duty, and they dare not have other ideas. ”
Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "I still have ideas, but I don't dare to say it, you will understand in the future, more than 200,000 Japanese troops, without you Wang Chengye to fight, will collapse themselves, and the Fourth Brigade does not need to be consumed here, send a regiment of troops, in any area where you can pass guò, it is enough to set up a monitoring post, rest assured, the Japanese army will not run back." ”
Speaking of this, Tang Qiuli remembered one more thing, and said to Chen Feng, director of the communications department: "Send a telegram to Le Yiqin, the Southern Flight Group of the Independent Division's Air Force will form a combat readiness duty unit at Kunming Airport, with a strength of no less than four fighter regiments, responsible for the air blockade in northern Burma. ”
Tang Qiuli left this order, and the absolute bottom of the kettle was drawn, which was equivalent to cutting off Terauchi Shouichi and more than 200,000 Japanese troops, the last ray of hope, didn't the British not allow the squadron to enter Burma to fight? Well, I'll be in the air, jamming the Japanese by the neck, if the British plane dares to cover the Japanese transport plane for the airdrop, even the British plane, together with the killing.
After returning to Tengchong, Tang Qiuli made adjustments in strategic deployment, Tang Qiusheng's Sulu Mobile Corps immediately moved south to the Sino-Burmese border, Li Honggang's 29th Corps entered the Sino-Laos border, and Ma Chaoyang's Southeast Mobile Corps continued to garrison the Sino-Vietnamese border.
Feng Jiwu's Niangziguan Garrison Corps handed over the garrison tasks of Fujian and the coastal areas of Guangxi and Guangxi to Jiang Yanming's Songhu Garrison Corps, the Guangdong Provincial Garrison Command, and the Guinan Garrison Region.
The aviation units of the independent division and the northern flying group will transfer one-third of their combat units to the Nanning Airport as the base to form the second southern flight group of the aviation unit, which will be under the unified command of Le Yiqin, commander of the aviation unit of the independent division.
The joint logistics headquarters of the independent division has stockpiled a large number of medicines, foodstuffs, ammunition, and other materials in the troop assembly area, and each corps, at least two fully equipped brigades, has been equipped with jungle warfare equipment, and the material preparation work will be completed before the beginning of October.
Among them, the Yunnan-Burma border area was the area where Tang Qiuli judged that the war broke out first, so the three first-class main corps of Tang Qiusheng's corps, Feng Jiwu's corps, and the directly subordinate corps, were concentrated, and orders were issued to all troops.
For Zhang Quan, commander of the Joint Logistics Command of the Independent Division, this is a considerable pressure, and the gathering of the five corps at the border is a big problem for the transportation of materials and ammunition, and the road conditions in Yunnan are not very good, and in less than half a month, it is necessary to transport the supplies and ammunition of more than 800,000 troops to the designated area, which is a severe test for the rear joint logistics command.
Zhang Quan was busy every day, the old man's temper was getting bigger and bigger, his usually amiable and always smiling appearance was gone, and he also shouted and shouted to kill, Tang Qiuli knew that such a huge transportation volume was extremely stressful for Zhang Quan, so he transferred Zhou Yushan, commander of the transportation command of the independent division and deputy director of the division's logistics department.
Not only did Zhou Yushan come, but he also brought his thousands of trucks to transport troops, and the old buddies of the two partners joined hands again, Zhang Quan's anxiety also came to naught, and the materials and ammunition transported to the war zone increased by a hundredfold.
After finishing all this, Tang Qiuli remembered that there was still a matter of protest by the British, anyway, there was nothing serious, and he would be the British consul of northern Burma who was full of nonsense, shouting and shouting and killing, Misterran. Lord George, what kind of bird is this Englishman?
He then informed the Tengchong local government to make an appointment with the British, and while Tang Qiuli was busy adjusting the deployment, as soon as he connected to three letters of protest from the British sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Government, his words became more and more intense.
It's strange, the British are like crazy people, the party with a mouth full of gunpowder, the head of the special operations detachment of the independent division, Colonel Chutian, didn't even have a telegram, not only the people in the division were strange, but even Tang Qiuli wondered, how did Chutian provoke the British?
