Chapter 760: The Dust Settles III
Every day, tens of thousands of people were slaughtered, thousands of women were looted, large quantities of gold and silver fell into pockets, and the towns, temples, and villages they passed through were poured with kerosene and burned.
Although the locals took advantage of the mountainous terrain to organize armed forces to resist, the 36th Army came from the Miao and Lika ethnic groups in the mountains of western Hunan and the ethnic minorities in the mountains and forests of northern Burma.
In addition to their own weapon advantage, the NLD also used a new weapon: napalm grenades!
This is a very cruel weapon, it is filled with colloidal gasoline in a regular grenade, and after exploding, it forms a layer of flame that sputters in all directions, emitting a high temperature of about 1,000 degrees, which can stick to other objects and burn for a long time.
If the colloidal gasoline splashes on the person, it will be like lard paste, viscous and burn-resistant, the more you slap it with your hands, the bigger the fire, and rolling on the ground to extinguish the fire will make the whole body on fire, and there is more fire on a certain person, and the people on the side must try to stay away, because the struggle of the person on fire is easy to throw the burning oil on the body of others, forming a secondary killing effect.
For people who have been hit by napalm, death is the greatest relief, and this kind of burn is not the same as ordinary burns, but also with poisoning effect, a large number of chemical accelerants and white phosphorus are used in napalm, and there will be highly toxic chemical residues after combustion, which enter the blood through the open wound of the burn wound, causing blood poisoning, and the burn surface is also due to this reason, it is generally purple, or blue-black, which is daunting.
So, napalm is so lethal that why not make it into a cannonball? This is obvious, the ignition point of gasoline is low, and it explodes directly before it is fired in the gun chamber, which is why all modern napalm gasoline bombs are aviation bombs.
The NLD did not have aircraft, and for the time being, they had not begun research in this area, so military workers took advantage of the characteristics of napalm to develop a batch of napalm grenades, which were a sharp weapon for striking the guerrillas, although their power was incomparable with that of aviation bombs and their burning range was limited.
When the British vanguard of 5,000 troops arrived in Arakan, the armed resistance had been suppressed by the Democratic Alliance forces by drastic means, and only a few scattered armed forces remained, but judging from the situation, it could not last long.
Hundreds of thousands of people in the Arakan region, except for more than 60,000 young women who were taken by the Democratic Alliance forces, were almost nowhere to be seen, which made the British have to give up their wishful thinking of using ethnic ~~ contradictions and religion~~ conflicts in Arakan to incite the war against China in Baibailin, Bangladesh.
Although the wildfire burns inexhaustibly, and the spring breeze blows and grows, I have broken all your roots, what tricks can you play? Why are there so many massacres throughout history? Because the massacre is indeed the solution once and for all.
On the last day of the month-long period, the British did not dare to bet on whether the NLD army would launch a whole war against Lower Burma, and Paner withdrew from the Plakan with all the British and Indians, and headed for Arakan, after all, if they left now, they could still leave with their possessions, and when the NLD army launched an attack, even if they could survive the war, they would be prisoners and would have nothing.
