"General, the 52nd Infantry Division has been completely annihilated by the Chinese, and Major General Anggs has surrendered to the Chinese. The 52nd Infantry Division is in rout, it is coming to our side, the Chinese are chasing after us, what should we do? A major staff officer said to Lieutenant General Alexander with some panic. Obviously, one of the two infantry divisions was annihilated and the other was defeated, so that the 13th Army had lost almost half of its troops. Although the remaining two divisions still had sufficient combat strength, their morale was also greatly affected. This battle was very unfavorable for the 13th Army, and if it was not done well, not only would it not be able to reach Yangon, but it would also be severely damaged by the Chinese.

"Bastard, what is that Angus guy doing? How so? Lieutenant General Alexander was also dizzy as if he had been hit on the head. Even when he learned that the 52nd Infantry Division was under siege, he did not feel this way. Now, the 52nd Infantry Division is gone, and the 51st Infantry Division must also have suffered heavy losses, which is almost equivalent to the loss of half of its combat strength!

"Order the 50th Infantry Division and the 49th Infantry Division to immediately defend on the spot and prepare to resist the attack of the Chinese! In addition, order the follow-up infantry corps of the British and Indian Army to speed up! If we're done, they'll be dead. In the meantime, we are going to tell John about the situation here. General Colburn reports that we need his command! Lieutenant General Alexander said. Obviously, the current situation of the war. Already overwhelmed him and didn't know what to do? The only thing he could do was to try his best to resist the attack of the Chinese* army. At this time retreat. In all likelihood, it will turn into a rout. In that case, there will be no more chances.

"Yes, General!" The officers hurriedly went to deliver the order. The 50th Infantry Division and the 49th Infantry Division, which were advancing, stopped advancing and began to organize defense on the spot. The artillerymen also cut off the artillery from behind the horses, and they didn't even have time to build artillery positions, just aimed their guns at the places where the enemy might appear? Everyone's faces were a little grim. They knew that the next battle would be a test for them.

Less than half an hour. The rout of the British 51st Infantry Division appeared. They were disheveled, they didn't know where their weapons had been thrown, their faces were full of terror, and they fled back in a panic. It was as if the devil was chasing them after them.

"Bastard. Let those guys spread out and not ram our ground! Seeing such a scene, Lieutenant General Alexander scolded with some anger. He was sure that those Chinese were following behind those routs, and if they continued like this, how could they get it?

"Whew! "There was a sharp whistling sound in the sky, which any veteran who had been on the battlefield could hear, it was the sound of a cannonball quickly cutting through the air. What this means. Everyone is also very clear that many people's faces have changed. Turned pale.

"Shelling! Shelling by the Chinese, quickly hidden! The officers of the British army began to shout. However, this is an empty field, where is there a place to hide? There is simply nowhere to hide. Many people had to lie on the ground and pray that the shells would not fall on their heads.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The shells exploded on the ground, leaving craters and taking away lives.

In the process of the British escape, the 7th Army of the Chinese Army was also quickly chasing. Not only the infantry was chasing, but the artillery was also close behind. Having discovered the main forces of the British 13th Army, the artillerymen immediately began to attack first. For both armies, it was an encounter, for which neither side was prepared. Whoever can achieve the final victory depends on their respective efforts.

"Fight back! Hurry up and fight back! Lieutenant General Alexander hurriedly ordered. The Chinese came so quickly, and even the artillery followed, which was completely unexpected by him. This also made Lieutenant General Alexander feel that the Chinese* army was more difficult to deal with than his counterpart.

"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "The British artillery also launched a return fire, but, in the panic, they did not even find a target, so they could not pose any real threat to the Chinese* army.

In fact, the number of Chinese * troops chasing was not very large, it was nothing more than an infantry brigade. The follow-up troops are still far behind. It will take a lot of time to catch up.

After a shelling by both sides, there was no further fighting. The Chinese* army was too small in strength and the troops were very tired from the previous battle, so they did not attack again, but slowly retreated, and the two sides were about two or three kilometers apart. And the commander of the British army, Lieutenant General Alexander, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Order all units to begin an orderly retreat to avoid being pursued by the Chinese!" Lieutenant General Alexander ordered. The British army began to retreat slowly.

Although the Chinese* army had the intention to pursue, because the British army was well guarded, it was out of the range of the artillery of the Chinese* army before running wildly. After the arrival of the main forces of the 7th Army of the Chinese Army, the British army had already retreated. In this regard, Major General Liu Wu can only regret it. However, the 7th Army has been fighting for most of the day, not only is the weapons and ammunition consumed quickly, but the soldiers are also very tired, and if they continue to pursue, they may not be able to take advantage. Now the 7th Army has completely annihilated one division of the British army and defeated one division, which has already dealt a heavy blow to the British 13th Army. This was already a remarkable victory for the 7th Army, which had just entered Burma to fight. What's more, the British 11th Army in Rangoon, having lost reinforcements, could no longer hold out in Rangoon. The Chinese* army will continue to have the upper hand on the battlefield in Burma.

After the 7th Army of the Chinese Army defeated the British 13th Army and forced the British 13th Army, which suffered heavy losses, to retreat westward, the Battle of Rangoon was a winner. The Chinese* army undoubtedly won this great war. Although the total strength of the British army was larger, they also suffered more losses. The 11th Army was almost completely annihilated, and the 13th Army was also heavily damaged. You must know that although the British army invested a lot of troops in Burma, the main force was only the 8th Army, the 11th Army and the 13th Army, which were composed of three British. It is still unknown how much combat strength the remaining six Anglo-Indian armies will have.

The commander of the British 11th Army, George Brown. Lieutenant General Pollock learned that the British 13th Army had been routed by the Chinese* army at two o'clock in the afternoon of 8 April. At that time, the 13th Army was in a hurry to retreat, and even at night it was marching, and there was simply no time to send telegrams. It was not until the morning of April 8, when it was determined that it was safe and that the Chinese* army did not pursue it, that Lieutenant General Alexander gave the order to the commander of the expedition to John. Admiral Colburn sent a telegram. And George. The telegram received by Lieutenant General Pollock was also received by Lieutenant General Pollock. Admiral Colburn sent it there. John. Admiral Colborn's telegram was very simple, the 13th Army had already been defeated, and if George Brown. If Lieutenant General Pollock's 11th Army is able to hold Rangoon, then they will continue to hold Rangoon, and if they can't hold it, they will immediately retreat to avoid being completely annihilated by the Chinese.

However, because it was too late to receive the news, 80% of Yangon's urban area was already under the control of the Chinese army. And most importantly, the Chinese* army also sent an infantry brigade north of Yangon, blocking the way for the British to retreat to the north of Rangoon. As a result, the remnants of the British 11th Army were all surrounded in the city of Yangon, and it was difficult to fly with wings.

"Bastard, Alexander, you damn fellow, why were you defeated by the Chinese and didn't inform me earlier? You killed me, and you killed tens of thousands of people in the 11th Army! "After receiving the telegram, George. Lieutenant General Pollock was full of resentment. He never imagined that he would be like this. Now he is in a desperate situation, and he can't escape from Yangon at all. Except for the 42nd Division, which withdrew from the battlefield ahead of schedule due to heavy losses in the 11th Army, the remaining three infantry divisions had already lost more than half of them. The last 10,000 remnants of the army were defeated and retreated in the northern part of Yangon.

George. Lieutenant General Pollock is also a man who can afford to let go, and he has come to this point, and he does not intend to continue fighting. If the battle continues, there will be only one result for the 11th Army, and that is to be completely wiped out by the Chinese* army. Although George. Lieutenant General Pollock is middle-aged, but he doesn't want to end up like this, he still wants to continue to live. Not to mention the other English lads, none of whom wanted to go to God so early.

So, George. At 3 p.m. on April 8, Lieutenant General Pollock led more than 10,000 British soldiers trapped in the city of Rangoon to surrender to the Chinese* army. Lieutenant General Pollock took over his command knife in his hand, symbolizing the end of the Burma campaign. Although Major General Liu Zhongming, deputy director of the Operations Department of the General Staff, was the nominal supreme commander, the attack on Rangoon was mainly due to the 14th Infantry Corps and the two Marine Brigades, and he did not want to take this credit and did not bother to do so.

After the surrender of the British 11th Army, the Chinese* army occupied the whole of Rangoon. In this battle, the Chinese army almost completely annihilated the British 11th Army, inflicted heavy losses on the British 13th Army, annihilated more than 30,000 British troops and captured more than 20,000 prisoners. And the losses of the Chinese * army itself, less than three thousand people. That's almost a 1:7 battle loss ratio. It can be seen from this that in terms of combat power, the Chinese Army is much stronger than the British Army. The British were not only superior to the Chinese Empire in terms of navy, but also no match for the Chinese Army in terms of land. If this continues, what face will the British have to continue to be the world hegemon? (To be continued......)
