Everything that the 30,000 men did in Imphal reached the ears of the Burmese king, and the Burmese king was really taken aback, and the 30,000 men who were sent to Homarin were only second-tier troops in the eyes of the Burmese king, or the Burmese king would not have sent them to Siam first, and then to Homarim.

But these people who disregard life and death have created a miracle for the Burmese king, and also led the Burmese king astray, although these people have made war exploits in Siam, but most of the war exploits have been divided among the high-level generals, leaving only some scraps of the 30,000 Burmese army.

For the combat power of these people, the king of Burma does not have a full understanding, in his cognition, the fact is that the British army is not so terrible, twenty years ago in the Anglo-Burmese war, the current king of Burma was still the crown prince at that time! There was no chance of going to war at all.

The second-tier team can capture Imphal, and this English is nothing more than that!

The battle of Imphal not only surprised everyone, but also allowed the king of Burma to regain the ambition of the king of the first country in the southeast peninsula.

The whole army rebuilt Yangon and recovered the lost territory of Lower Burma, these two can continue with the battle of Imphal, the reconquest of lost territory is a trivial matter, and the reconstruction of Rangoon to restore the glory of a great country is the real big thing.

"! The king of Burma is crazy! Compare the most elite troops of the Burmese army with the most fucked-up troops in England and rebuild Rangoon, which is fucking death!

Bosheng and Yangon are only a few hundred miles apart, and the British army can reach Yangon with two charges, so that Qiao Gunai can strengthen his vigilance, and the British army must not be allowed to capture the king of Burma. ”

Although the king of Burma said that he had made a stinky move, it was for Yang Meng. That's not a bad thing. The city of Imphal was slaughtered. Then the Burmese king's way of negotiating peace, coupled with the Burmese king's self-confidence, presumably the Anglo-Burmese war was still fought.

The Battle of Imphal Massacre, which spread from India to England, took more than ten days, and this news shook the English government and the public, and the real war broke out unexpectedly.

Viceroy of India. When the Thai-Burmese War was underway, the Indian Governor General was the main battle, but this somewhat radical plan was suppressed by the high-level people in England.

In the end, it was just an order to test with more than 10,000 Indian soldiers, not that the English were cautious, it was just a microcosm of the power struggle.

Yang Meng miscalculated before, and the king of Burma also miscalculated. England sent troops to Homarin, although it was a war. But there are many tentative elements, and landing from Bosheng is just Yang Meng's own thoughts.

And the 30,000 butchers of the Burmese army slaughtered the city of Imphal with great arrogance, which is undoubtedly a resounding slap in the face to the high-level bigwigs in England, and the lesson 20 years ago has long been forgotten.

Unlike the Viceroy of India, most of what the English government did in Asia was to preserve India and the crown jewel of Queen Victoria.

But the barbaric and cruel practices of the Burmese army have undoubtedly soiled this pearl, and the original tentative war has directly turned into a real war.

And such a result is also the product of a power struggle, and the Indian Governor has also done disgraceful things in it, are the Indian soldiers really so powerless? The English had a lot of soldiers in India, and more than ninety percent of the legions that defended India were Indian soldiers.

Indian soldiers are also strong and weak, the Indian corps with British officers is still very combative, all of them are legions composed of Indians, and their combat power can be imagined.

It was a coincidence to capture Khormarin, but Imphal was slaughtered, and it was also unexpected by the Indian governor, who thought that Imphal, which was defended by a thousand British troops, was a fortified city, but he did not expect that in two days, it was captured and slaughtered by the Burmese army.

There are not many people who pay attention to the war, especially the war in the colonies, but the slaughter of the city is different, the Burmese army has slapped too hard, and the news of the slaughter of Imphal will be affected if it spreads all over India, then the rule of England will be affected, and if it reaches Europe, the pattern of the European continent will be affected.

War, most of the time is in a hurry and blind, Yang Meng, who is sitting in Mengla, thinks a little too much, even England can not be exhaustive, Imphal was slaughtered, sounding the clarion call for the British army to attack Burma.

It was the responsibility of the Viceroy of India to seize the city of Imphal and cover up the news of the massacre. The British army in Tjerj once again embarked on the journey, starting from the foot of the mountain to collect the corpses, and it took the British Indian army of more than 10,000 men to clean up the corpses all over the mountain.

The attack on Imphal has also become a problem for the British army, and the direct losses are too great, and the more than 10,000 Indian soldiers before can be said to be a miscellaneous card in a miscellaneous card, or it can be regarded as a supernumerary army, and the loss of 10,000 people can still be easily accepted by the Indian governor.

But the loss of a thousand native English soldiers is a little unacceptable, a thousand people, the number of a regiment, the loss of a regiment of the native army, this is also a major loss, and it also shows that the Burmese army defending the city still has a certain combat capacity.

The British garrisons in India, Bangladesh, and Pakistan are not as many as Yang Meng imagined, adding up to more than 40,000 people, counting the Indian colonial army, the total strength of the British in India is only more than 100,000, excluding the army guarding India, the British can come up with 60,000 or 70,000 people at a time, which is considered a big deal.

In the face of Imphal City, the new 10,000 Indian soldiers were also a little timid, and the corpses on the mountain were not something that anyone could wait to ignore, thinking that it was a group of demons defending the city, these Indian soldiers were a little frightened.

The first tentative siege of the city, this group of Indian soldiers saw the strength of the Burmese army, muskets and artillery, for the Burmese army, is not a rare thing, although not as good as the Indian soldiers, but condescending to shoot live targets, they can still easily competent.

In three days, three temptations, three temptations lost nearly 1,000 lives, and Imphal, which was guarded by less than 20,000 Burmese troops, remained unmoved, and the fighting spirit of the Indian soldiers was almost wiped out.

Imphal is a mountain city, and the siege artillery cannot be transported. A few small cannons with the army broke down the walls of Imphal. There are also some foolish dreams.

Help. The English commander on the front line can only helplessly ask for help, Imphal is not short of water or food, and if he wants to besiege the city, it is basically a joke, and if he does not wait for the British army to trap the Burmese army in the city, the supply line of the British army will be dragged down.

Besiege. Yes, it is also necessary to reoccupy LinkedIn Parr, three brigades of Punjabi infantry, one brigade of Sikh infantry, and one regiment of Nepalese mountain infantry were sent to Imphal, and the arrival of Sikh infantry and Nepalese mountain soldiers also fully illustrates the determination of England.

In the face of more and more Indian soldiers under the city, the Burmese army in Imphal was also a little afraid. They are not afraid of the death of the young and strong of the Tai people, nor of the death of the people in the city of Imphal. But they were afraid to die on their own.

Imphal's gold and silver treasures have been transferred, and the Burmese king has not ordered the loss of Imphal, and in the face of more and more Indian soldiers, the Burmese army is also becoming more and more willing to retreat.

The newly reinforced Indian soldiers are very powerful, and they have also caused some casualties to the Burmese troops defending the city several tentative sieges, especially the Indian soldiers who are wrapped in golden and red turbans, wearing red battle suits, and beards, they are very strong in both marksmanship and courage.

Moreover, the reinforcements also brought some artillery that could hit the city wall, which was the real reason why the Burmese generals decided to retreat, and the British army also used 24-pounder mortars, although this kind of artillery was mostly used on warships, but it was also a sharp weapon for siege of the city, light weight, and four soldiers could carry it away.

Although the number of 24-pounder mortar guns under the city is not large, the pressure on the Burmese generals is not small, and it is the first time they have seen artillery that can hit hidden targets.

The main attack of the British generals, also did not want the Burmese army to lose Imphal, through a few days of observation, the British generals, also found out the Burmese army to capture Imphal, although it is feasible, but the Burmese army in the city of Imphal, and the number of Indian soldiers led by themselves is almost small, revenge, destroy this Burmese army, although it is the idea of the Indian British army, but the enemy was wounded 1,000 and 800 self-losses, he got the order is to capture Imphal, not to exterminate the Burmese army.

The Indian legion is only stationed in the front, undoubtedly to make the Burmese army retreat on its own initiative, and perhaps when the Burmese army retreats, it can still grasp the fighter plane and pursue it.

The Anglo-Burmese army in the confrontation in Imphal, after you pushed me to give in, finally ended with the retreat of the Burmese army, and the Sikh brigade of the British army also showed its combat strength and kept the Burmese army back to Homarin.

In the first battle of Imphal, the regular Burmese army only suffered a few hundred casualties, but the Thai Zhuangding, who could be brought back from Siam, died nearly 20,000, and the Burmese army won in terms of the number of killings.

But strategically speaking, the British army that recaptured Imphal was victorious, and if Imphal could not be recaptured, the Burmese army would be able to attack India anytime and anywhere, although the Burmese king did not have this idea, but England was afraid that he would have it!

The Burmese army that captured Imphal and retreated to Homalim was also expected by the king of Burma, now is not the time to expand the territory, and recovering Burma is what the king of Burma will do next, the 30,000 Burmese troops who came back from Siam, and the remaining 10,000 Tai young and strong, will obediently become defenders in Homalin.

"The Sikh Brigade? This is a soldier of Ah San! This battle is like this, and the British army is not very strong? ”

After getting the reward of the mountain monkey, Yang Meng pinched the information, and he also despised the British army a little, and even Imphal couldn't take it down cleanly, and these three soldiers were too incompetent.

The combat strength of Ah Sanbing is not good, and it can also confirm the combat strength of the British army from the other side, Yang Mengcai doesn't care what the British policy is? If anyone dared to slaughter the city in Yunnan and chase them to the ends of the earth, Yang Meng would also destroy them.

No matter how big the casualties are and how many people are killed, Yang Meng will not blink an eye, this is the face, according to the Qing Dynasty, this is called the national body, according to the later generations, this is called the sense of national honor, there is a saying among the people that it is better, and there is no revenge for the net!

"Master, it's time for England to have an erection next, do we need to arrange it?"

Wei Fuzi has been sent back to Yiliang by Yang Meng, and now Solang Baima is Yang Meng's personal secretary, Wei Fuzi can be a military advisor, and Solang Baima is the best secretary candidate, as long as Yang Meng said something, Solang Baima will remember it, and when it is time to use it, this one can also be at his fingertips.

"Hmmm! It has to be arranged, Bosheng has no shore defense, this boundary is originally England, we have to fight near Bosheng, and there is no advantage at all.

Perhaps in terms of military geography, the British army is more proficient than us, and the king of Burma, that bastard, is not good to stay in the meanness and run to Rangoon to die, in case the British army lands on the coast near Rangoon, then the fun will be great.

However, the Burmese king's men were not all waste, and the Burmese army stationed in Mishita was a good way to go east, which could guard against both the Siamese and the British.

Bai Ma, inform Xu Ziwei, this time to prepare for the war, and at the same time prepare a back road for himself, to tell him the truth, the first war Lao Tzu is not optimistic, the British army's large army scheduling ability, must be stronger than ours, this contact, mainly to learn, once the war is not effective, immediately give up the Tai people's youth, our people and Qiao Gunai's people, must be withdrawn. ”

The British army fought indecently in Imphal, and it was very willing to take revenge on the king of Burma in Rangoon or the humble life, the first round of offensive, the British army was full of spirit, Yang Meng did not think that Xu Ziwei and Qiao Gunai could block the offensive of the British army, and retreat should be the first priority.
