, Chapter 1054 Archon of Northern Burma

Terauchi Shouichi commanded the main force of the Japanese Southern Dispatch Army, and after many days of forced marching, he was able to smell the breath of Tengchong and Baoshan, however, the good fortune of the Japanese ended here.

First of all, the Southern Flying Group of the Independent Division's Air Force, under the command of Commander Le Yiqin, dispatched more than 700 bombers and fighters to carry out the largest air raid on the Japanese troops who were divided into five routes and marched towards the Yunnan-Burma border passage.

During the air raid for more than six hours, the Japanese army endured countless heavy aerial bombs, and the greatest threat to the Japanese soldiers was the "Buddha Light" napalm, the air force's mass killer weapon, which burned the verdant mountains and forests of western Yunnan with flames soaring and thick smoke billowing out, and the Japanese soldiers could only dodge, hide, and defend the air, and helplessly looked at the bodies of their comrades, and were torn apart by the aerial bombs of the Chinese people, and were burned into black char by the napalm of a piece of fire.

After the end of the air raid, the disaster of the Japanese did not end there, to Yingjiang, Baoshan, Tengchong, the Burmese border is close at hand, a distance of more than ten kilometers, it seems that they can be crossed in a few steps, but they are greeted by the troops of the first line of the corps directly under the independent division.

Terauchi Shouichi commanded the troops, tentatively attacking Baoshan, Tengchong, and Yingjiang, and the artillery of the directly subordinate corps used volcanic eruption-like artillery fire to blow up the Japanese offensive route into a sea of fire.

There is no way forward, there is no way back, looking around blankly, dozens of kilometers away from Myitkyina in northern Myanmar, close to the end of the world, retreating to the Savage Mountain, is the only choice for Terauchi Shouichi, or rather, it was Tang Qiuli who forced him to choose this route, a dangerous road that has swallowed the lives of more than 40,000 Chinese expeditionary force soldiers.

History repeats itself, however, the protagonist was replaced by the Japanese, at the beginning, 50,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force, only more than 10,000 people walked out of the Savage Mountain, today, more than 200,000 Japanese troops, I don't know how many people can get out of the Savage Mountain.

The Japanese army turned to the direction of Savage Mountain, and Tang Qiuli ordered all units of the Corps directly under him to attack on all fronts, and before the Japanese army was swallowed up by Savage Mountain, he would strike hard, so that these Japanese would not have time to prepare more supplies, and enter Savage Mountain in the most hasty situation.

However, Tang Qiuli's combat orders to the brigades of the directly subordinate corps still make people puzzled and puzzled, "All brigades must take tanks as the lead, infantry and artillery follow, push the line flat, and drive away the Japanese army with firepower, that brigade is not allowed to attack alone, let alone intersperse and divide and surround the Japanese army, after all the Japanese troops enter the Savage Mountain, the battle must end, and the troops must not pursue, remember, the main point of this battle is to force the Japanese army to flee south, not to annihilate on the spot." ”

After receiving the order, the commanders of the brigades directly under the corps pondered for a long time, but they did not understand the intentions of the division commanders, among them, Wang Chengye, the commander of the Fourth Brigade, was in the most advantageous position, and he had already ordered the troops to prepare and go around to the front of the Japanese army, blocking these little devils between Gushui and Monkey Bridge, forming a situation of closing the door and beating the dogs.

The division commander's order made Wang Chengye full of enthusiasm and turned into chagrin in his heart, the fourth brigade blocked the Japanese army for more than two hours It is not a problem, and the troops behind chase after it, and they can immediately wrap dumplings for more than 200,000 little devils, but the inexplicable order of the division commander is really.

The brigade chief of staff came over to ask for instructions on whether the troops should leave immediately, Wang Chengye threw the telegram on the table and said: "What else is there to attack, the division commander has come to order, let our brigade and other brigades arrive, and push it together, I don't understand, what is wrong with the division commander?" Since he hit the west of Yunnan, he has given some inexplicable orders. ”

In fact, it is not only Wang Chengye who has this feeling, but all the brigade commanders of the directly subordinate corps, and even the chief of staff Chang Feng, have this strange feeling, but everyone didn't say it, the chief of staff carefully read the order of the division commander, groaned, and said: "Brigade commander, there is a problem with this order, isn't this letting the little devil run?" ”

Wang Chengye slammed his fist on the table and said, "Who said it's not that, I don't understand, the division commander is so good at giving such an order, no, I have to ask," After speaking, he grabbed the phone, "Chief of Staff?" I'm Wang Chengye, is this really the teacher's order? The current position of our brigade is very favorable, and we are absolutely sure that we will block the little devil between Gushui and Monkey Bridge. ”

Chang Feng hadn't answered yet, and Tang Qiuli on the side took the phone, "Is it Wang Chengye?" How, there are doubts about the order? The only thing you need to do is to unswervingly carry out the order, tell you, don't have the intention of grabbing merit, otherwise, you will come to me as a staff officer! "Bang dang", before Wang Chengye could speak, Tang Qiuli put the phone away at the other end.

Wang Chengye shrank his neck, looked at the "dood" busy phone, stayed for a while, and helplessly showed a wry smile to the chief of staff, and said: "The division commander is very angry, let's not touch this moldy head, don't let the fat in your mouth be eaten, bear with it, order the troops, stay put, and wait for the arrival of other troops." ”

Terauchi Shouyi pair of Guò Savage Mountain, into northern Myanmar to Myitkyina, his heart is also bottomless, he is worried about the supply of the troops, from the map, hundreds of kilometers of no man's land, there is no supply along the way, is about to order the troops, the nearest solution to solve the supply problem, the so-called nearby solution, is nothing more than the surrounding Chinese people, burning, looting, and robbing everything.

But Tang Qiu didn't give him this opportunity, three tank brigades, more than 1,000 tanks, all pressed over, followed by artillery and more than 100,000 infantry of the directly subordinate corps, a cannon fire and tank assault, and the Japanese troops who had not had time to attack the Chinese people were rushing around.

Seeing this, Terauchi Shouichi hurriedly ordered the troops to enter the Savage Mountain to get rid of the pursuit of the troops of the Independent Division, the shells blew up on the buttocks, and the Japanese soldiers carried deflated bags of dry food, with few ammunition left, and the body on the verge of collapse, panicked, and broke into the Savage Mountain within a radius of several hundred kilometers, and embarked on the road of death that Tang Qiuli chose for them.

Tang Qiuli looked over from the hall, the continuous mountains of western Yunnan, like dragons, lay across the Sino-Burmese border, and he even thought viciously that if he sent a force to ambush at the exit of the Burmese side of the Savage Mountain, Shouichi Temple, who had worked hard and died for a lifetime, would he be excited to return to the world when he saw the village with its cottages and smoke.

When the ragged and withered Japanese soldiers were ecstatic that they had picked up a life, thanked Amaterasu and the emperor for their protection, and wept with joy, a group of men and horses suddenly came out, and in an instant, the Japanese soldiers who had escaped death were sent from heaven to hell, and what a pleasant thing it must have been to look at the Japanese soldiers, from full of hope to extreme despair.

However, it is not easy to enter Burma to fight, the British are better at guarding against China than against the Japanese, and they will not allow the squadron to enter their territory, the British thinking, full of selfishness and pragmatism, they would rather let the Japanese army retreat into Burma than allow the Chinese ** people to step into their territory.

Originally, the hundreds of thousands of British troops in Burma and Southeast Asia were not put on Tang Qiuli's heart, and it was easy for him to order his troops to cross the borders of China and Burma and China and Vietnam to chase down the retreating Japanese army.

If the troops of the Independent Division forcibly enter Burma and Vietnam, the selfish, arrogant and stupid British are very likely to join forces with the Japanese army to jointly deal with the troops of the Independent Division.

When the Japanese were in Southeast Asia and were fighting with the British and the Americans, Tang Qiuli was on the border with his troops, and according to historical records, the Japanese who launched the war in Southeast Asia were the time when they swept through the British and American forces, marched all the way, and attacked the city with great ease.

MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the US military in the Philippines, fled to Australia in a small boat of the US Navy, and this was the best time to send troops to Southeast Asia.

Let the Japanese fight with the British and the Americans first, and when the British and the United States can no longer hold on and come to ask for help, the initiative will be in their own hands.

Two old colonial powers, two fat sheep raised with the blood and sweat of the colonial people, Tang Qiuli will never be soft, the knife will not be soft, and half a breath will not be left for Britain and the United States, no one will understand his long-term strategic concept, even if he says it to others, no one will believe it.

The front-line chariots roared, the cannon rumbled, Tengchong City, a peaceful and peaceful, this thousand-year-old city in western Yunnan, free from the Japanese army's war, the destruction of monuments, Tang Qiuli was proud enough, he feasted the local gentry, but also to better understand the heritage and connotation of this ancient city, between the staggered, laughter and laughter.

Chen Feng, the director of communications, came in and handed him a copy of the text with a heavy face, the content of which was the British Governor's Office in Burma, the consul stationed in northern Burma, Smidrand. Lord George, sent a letter of protest, "Her Majesty the Queen of the British Empire, is hereby appointed Governor General of Burma and Governor of Northern Burma, Smidrand. Lord George, on behalf of the Governor himself, lodged a solemn protest to the Government of the Republic of China against the fact that the Chinese People's ** Army had crossed the Sino-Vietnamese border without authorization and violated the interests of the British Empire! ”

The second half of the text is the specific content of the protest, between the words, full of arrogance and prejudice, rudeness and threats, the most ridiculous thing for Tang Qiuli is that the British Empire's Consulate General of Northern Burma, at the end of the protest book, actually threatened nakedly.

"If the army of the government of the Republic of China does not give a satisfactory apology to the British side and reasonable compensation, the army of the British Empire has the right to strike at the Chinese People's ** army by force, and the Chinese side shall bear all the consequences caused by it!"
