Chapter 1113: The Wind Comes from All Directions
. Chapter 1113 The wind comes from all directions
In the early morning of 10 June, hundreds of thousands of British troops who were ambushed by the Japanese army again and Libao, about 100 kilometers north of Mandalay, learned that all units of the Japanese army were wantonly shooting prisoners of war.
Regarding the Libao Grand Canyon, the tragic and bloody battle of the British army, it seems that in the historical data, there are few records, the British officers and soldiers who personally participated in that battle, and the survivors withdrew to India, they also kept silent about it, the official newspapers and magazines of Britain and the United States, but Tang Qiuli knew everything about it.
When the British army broke through from Mandalay, the Chutian special operations detachment, which was ordered to monitor the movements of the British army and the Japanese army, constantly reported various situations to the division commander at any time, including the ambush of Ito Yanzaburo in the Libao Grand Canyon, and the progress of the situation was completely according to his expectations.
Whether it was the British in the Libao Grand Canyon, half-crippled by the Japanese army or completely annihilated, it was in line with Tang Qiuli's intentions, for this bloody battle that made the British flesh and blood, the deepest feeling was none other than the independent division of the Sulu Mobile Corps Chief of Staff Major General Yu Guanghan, at that time, he led the third and fourth field brigades of the corps, ambushed in the valley line only 20 kilometers away from Libao.
After the Japanese began to carry out large-scale artillery bombardment of the British, Yu Guanghan led a small and capable army to quietly approach the battlefield, and on a mountain peak that could overlook the entire battlefield, Yu Guanghan witnessed what happened.
In his telegram to the division commander Tang Qiuli, he described in detail the course of the battle, "Division commander, the vanguard of the British army of about 100,000 people has entered the ambush circle of the Japanese army, and the Japanese army has covered the canyon area with fierce artillery fire. ”
"Two hours later, the Japanese planes arrived at the battlefield and carried out a large-scale bombardment of the British troops who were crowded together, the British soldiers were full of flesh and blood, most of the vehicles and tanks were destroyed, and then, the Japanese infantry launched a non-stop attack on the British army, and by the evening, the British army suffered about more than 100,000 casualties, if no accident happened, tomorrow would be the day of the destruction of the British army, and the Japanese army would pay all its attention to the British, and they were unaware of the two brigades and troops that were close at hand."
The telegram that Yu Guanghan pointed to the division had no other meaning, nearly a million people were mixed together, the kind of earth-shattering scene of gunsmoke and gunfire everywhere, he saw that his blood was full of blood, and his palms were itchy, he did not have the idea of saving the British, but looked at the Japanese soldiers in front of him, beating the British, that kind of fierce and proud energy, and he was very unhappy.
He now has more than 30,000 people in his hands, if he unexpectedly beats him in the back of the little devil and ends the battle in an hour, he is absolutely sure to kill more than 10,000 little devils, and then, without leaving a trace, the meaning of his telegram is to remind Tang Qiuli that I am now in an absolutely advantageous position, and the Japanese army is defenseless.
Tang Qiuli's reply was very simple, just a few words, "Do not move, watch coldly, violators, military law will deal with you," Yu Guanghan read the telegram, his whole body tightened, grinned, dispelled the idea of taking the opportunity to make a big profit, looked at the battlefield full of fireworks with greedy eyes, and swallowed and spat at the mouth.
In fact, this is not just Yu Guanghan's idea alone, when the Japanese army launched a devastating attack on the British, the commanders of many units called the division commander one after another, asking the division commander to take advantage of the opportunity of the little devil and the British to get together, beat the little devil coldly, take a bite and leave.
It's not that the commanders of these troops, sympathize with the British, and want to go to the rescue, the key is to see Libao fighting lively, so many Japanese troops, gathered together, are a big piece of fat, everyone wants to take a bite, Tang Qiuli's call back to them is exactly the same as that given to Yu Guanghan, and Tang Qiuli is quite annoyed by the short-sighted behavior of these generals.
He said to Chief of Staff Chang Feng: "Some of our generals still haven't been able to fully understand the real intention of the Burma campaign formulated this time, just want to have a good time, see the Japanese army, can't help but itch their hands, in this battle both sides consume each other, both are beneficial to us, if we intervene at this time, not only will we inadvertently help the British, but also attract the attention of the Japanese army to ourselves, which is not only contrary to the original intention of the campaign, but also outweighs the loss, I am really worried that our generals will suffer a big loss in this." ”
When Tang Qiuli was in the Intuwa area of the Ganli Mountains, when his generals were untimely and worried about the war situation, Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British army, drove to Ba Mo on the rugged mountain roads in northern Burma in a mad mood, and he had never been so anxious and impatient.
In Burma and the Indochina Peninsula for decades, Alexander is also an old man, but he has not experienced the fear of facing extinction today, and he can't contact Tang Qiuli, he has an ominous premonition in his heart, I'm afraid that this time, no one will reach out to save the soldiers of the British Empire, and Tang Qiuli will not either.
This cunning Chinese, occupying Myitkyina, opened the passage to withdraw west to India, gave himself and hundreds of thousands of British soldiers a hope full of danger, and the rest of the way was for us British to go by ourselves, but he no longer refused to stretch out his hand to pull, Alexander in his heart, scolded Tang Qiuli thousands of times "liar, villain, selfish villain" and other most vicious words.
However, he had to beg Tang Qiuli to leave, otherwise, whether the British army was completely annihilated in the Libao Grand Canyon, or disarmed and surrendered, for Alexander, he lost all his old book, and there was no chance to turn over, his end was to leave gloomily, but he did not think that if he had not been thinking about it, let the Chinese block the disaster for him, would there be today's ending?
Alexander knew that his weight in Tang Qiu's centrifugation was not heavy enough, and before coming to Bamo, he sent a telegram to the British government and the United States government respectively, truthfully and even exaggerated the desperate situation facing the British army, hoping to arouse the great attention of the two governments and jointly exert pressure on the national government, that is, it was equivalent to putting pressure on Tang Qiuli.
The newly appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, although he himself is now anxious, the British Isles are faced with locust-like German planes every day, carrying out non-stop bombardment of all valuable targets in Britain, and the capital London is the key bombing target, and the British army's air defense force has almost been lost.
However, Churchill would never give up the interests of the British Empire in Asia, and hundreds of thousands of troops were the capital to return to Southeast Asia in the future, and he personally drafted a telegram, and in his own name, sent a long telegram to Chairman Chiang in Chongqing.
Speaking of which, the situation faced by the British on their homeland was still due to Tang Qiuli, and the German Führer Hitler accepted Tang Qiuli's proposal, turned his attention to the European continent, and turned his attention to the British Isles, concentrating all his air forces, and using bombs to make the British submit, at least they were dying, and they could not have an impact on Germany's future strategy.
In the telegram, Tang Qiuli said to the German Führer, "Your Excellency, on the European continent, the German army is invincible, while Britain itself has the protection of the Atlantic, the industrial system has not suffered any losses, and there is an obvious threat to Germany, and the United States will never stand idly by and watch the war on the European continent, and the Führer's military action has violated the interests of the Americans in Europe." ”
"The Americans, who have always intended to dominate Europe, will never let the powerful Germany and unify Europe will inevitably transfusion the geographically advantaged United Kingdom, so only if the British surrender, or the German ** team occupies LinkedIn, the European war can be regarded as a complete victory for Germany."
I don't know what Hitler really thought, anyway, he was going to transfer to the Eastern Front, most of the air forces on the Soviet-German border were concentrated on the English Channel side, and all the shipyards in Germany and the occupied countries were working day and night to build warships and landing craft, which was completely a cross-sea expedition.
The German Führer was convinced of Tang Qiuli's words, and when it seemed that this young Chinese friend, who had made no mistake in every strategic prediction on the European battlefield, said that the British would become a potential adversary and the greatest threat to Germany in the future, so that they would first conquer the British, and then turn their heads to deal with the ugly Russian gorilla, and as a result, the war clouds over the heads of the British became more and more thick.
The Americans are also in a hurry, they are now going all out to give blood transfusions to the British, and they don't want to have any kind of conflict with the crazy Japanese in Asia, but after the British in Southeast Asia are completely eradicated by the Japanese, the greedy and crazy Japanese will inevitably stare at the Americans' sphere of influence with blood-red eyes.
This is absolutely not in the interests of the Americans, so US President Roosevelt also sent a long telegram to Chairman Chiang, urging the Chinese government to immediately send troops to rescue the British troops surrounded by the Japanese. ”
The threat in Roosevelt's telegram is obvious and naked, an alliance with the Japanese, and the subtext is that it is not ruled out that in the future, the intention to jointly carve up Chinese mainland with the Japanese is the real face of the Americans, only eternal interests.
The two telegrams from the heads of state of Britain and the United States blew up Chairman Chiang like a bombshell, and he summoned Dai Li, director of the Military Command Bureau, to the residence of Chairman Huangshan in Chongqing, and after scolding him, his tone was as cold as ice, and he said to Dai Li: "If you can't find Tang Qiuli, you won't come back." ”
