Chapter 1059: The British are playing with fire
, Chapter 1059 The British are playing with fire
In charge of a series of incidents such as diplomatic and military disputes in Southeast Asia, the British negotiator, the British Governor-General's Office in Burma, and Lord George, who was sent to the northern part of Burma by the British Governor's Office, were disgraced by Tang Qiuli, and not only failed to fulfill his original desire to extort a sum of money, but also failed to complete the errand given by the Marquis Ebson, the governor of Burma, and General Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British army in Burma.
Therefore, Lord George could only lie, and it was a lie after lie, and concocted a summary of the negotiations between the two Mo people, and did his best to distort the facts, and this summary of the negotiations containing water, as soon as it was sent to the Governor-General's Palace of Burma, it caused an uproar at that time, and the British were shouting and shouting as if their ancestral graves had been dug up.
Since the British Empire's strong ships and cannons entered the land of Asia, no official representing the British Empire has been threatened with such force, especially surrounded by Chinese troops, and this is worth it, if this matter is not resolved decently, where is the dignity of the British Empire? How can interests in Southeast Asia be secured?
The British returned to the tried and tested magic weapon, the British Royal Army, the British Governor in Burma, the Marquis Ebson, and the British Commander-in-Chief in Burma, General Alexander, after several days of secret consultations, decided to use force to teach the Chinese a lesson.
Not only that, General Alexander also secretly met with Lieutenant General Kobayashi Shuichi, commander of the remnants of the Japanese troops retreating to the border area between China and Southeast Asia, and the commander of the 93rd Division of the Japanese Southern Dispatch Army, and the two sides reached an agreement to jointly encircle and suppress the squadron that entered the sphere of influence of the British Empire.
I really wanted to fall asleep, so I sent a pillow, Kobayashi Shuichi retreated to Southeast Asia, the soldiers in his hand, but more than 5,000 people, and the other troops were all killed by Ma Chaoyang's corps.
Now the British asked for cooperation, Kobayashi Shuichi was so happy that he almost cried, so he almost took Alexander's hand and shouted Long live the unity of Japan and Britain, the feelings of brothers and buddies, two old foxes with their own plans, and soon reached an agreement, the British army and the Japanese army worked together to deal with the squadron that entered Southeast Asia, and the Japanese army was the main force, and the British army assisted.
In return for the actions of the Japanese army, Alexander promised to give the Japanese army a full area of activity on the Southeast Asian side of the Chinese border, and the British army was responsible for the supply of the Japanese army, and the two sides exchanged information.
Fighting snakes with sticks, taking advantage of Alexander's pleasure, Kobayashi Shuichi entered the Savage Mountain, and did not know whether the main force of the dispatched army was alive or dead, and also brought it up, proposing, whether the army of the Great Japanese Empire could rest and recuperate in northern Burma, and then kill back in China.
Alexander kept an eye on it, he didn't know how many people and how much strength the main force of the Japanese army entered Burma, and only promised to set aside a number of rest areas for the Japanese army in northern Burma, and under the surveillance of the British army, Alexander's calculations were very good.
The Japanese were defeated by the Chinese, ran to northern Myanmar to avoid the limelight, reduced their troops to pieces, and were under the surveillance of the royal army, no matter how cunning the Japanese were, they could not turn up the big waves, and when the Japanese recovered their vitality, and then went to find trouble with the Chinese, we could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, without sacrificing the lives of the British Emperor, we could teach a hard lesson, the Chinese who became arrogant, why not?
The British think they are extremely smart, and the Japanese are not stupid, Kobayashi Shuichi sneered in his heart, as long as the emperor's ** team and the commander-in-chief of Terauchi Shouichi enter northern Burma, repair for a period of time, and recover their vitality, whether to return to China to fight, or take advantage of the situation to occupy Southeast Asia and drive the British away, then it is up to the British to decide.
Alexander and Kobayashi Shuichi achieved their respective goals, both of them were overjoyed, and returned to the Japanese garrison, Kobayashi Shuichi sent more than 1,000 troops to set up camp in the area of the northern exit of Savage Mountain in northern Burma, and prepared to welcome the arrival of the commander-in-chief, His Excellency Terauchi Shouichi, and more than 200,000 imperial soldiers.
Kobayashi Shuichi ordered the Japanese officers leading the team to prepare sufficient food and medicine in the camp in northern Burma, and the camp should accommodate at least 220,000 people, and he had already estimated the danger of the Savage Mountain, including the danger of the Savage Mountain, when he was evacuated from the Yunnan-Burma border, the main force of the dispatched army had more than 230,000 people, and the natural attrition of about 10,000 people was already a great casualty.
More than 1,000 Japanese soldiers, with the heavy trust of the commander of the Kobayashi Shuichi Division, were in full swing, stretching their necks every day with eager expectations, looking at the direction of Savage Mountain, hoping to see the figure of their compatriots, and immediately served a hot and fragrant meal, and said again, "You have worked hard!" "How touching that scene must be.
After Tang Qiuli returned to Tengchong, within a few days, he received a telegram from Chutian, reporting on the recent situation of overseas operations, "Division commander, in the course of clearing the remnants of the Japanese army, our special operations detachment has discovered a new situation. ”
"At present, the British and Japanese tripartite joint arms, the strength of the unit far exceeds the strength of one of our detachments, and it is more difficult for the troops to carry out operations, I have ordered all detachments to temporarily turn into a state of concealment, and not to act rashly, in addition, I also have a plan, I plan to concentrate three to four detachments to form an advantage in troops, and carry out a destructive attack on the important strongholds of the Japanese army.
Tang Qiuli read Chutian's telegram, sneered, and said: "Sick and rushed to the doctor, the British are playing with fire, cooperating with the Japanese as a wolf lamb, there is a time when he cries his father and shouts his mother, when the time comes, I am afraid that there will not even be any bones left, interesting, hundreds of thousands of Japanese troops are assembled in the Indian Ocean, Rangoon is under the threat of the Japanese army, Alexander actually transferred most of the British troops to the Chinese border, it is unreasonable!" ”
Chief of Staff Chang Feng asked, "Division commander, how do I call back to the commander of the Chu detachment?" Tang Qiuli pondered for a moment and said: "Mention Chutian's request, if necessary, you can also concentrate your forces again, gather back the five fingers that are scattered, and form a fist, if you don't fight, you must completely annihilate it." ”
"Whether it is against the Japanese army, the British army or the puppet army, we must follow this principle, in addition, tell Chutian, don't have any scruples, let go of your hands and feet to fight hard, destroy the remnants of the Japanese army, and beat the British in front of me to sue for peace, it is a victory, but you can't fight hard and hard, if the casualties of the special operations detachment exceed one percent, I will settle accounts with Chutian!"
Every member of the special operations detachment is the elite of the independent division, Brother Qiuquan spent a lot of money to cultivate, don't lose too much in Chutian's hands, so I want to give Chutian a wake-up call, after Chang Feng went out, Tang Qiuli stood in front of the map for a long time, and after Chang Feng came back, he quietly watched the division commander repeatedly compare on the map.
He didn't dare to disturb, Chu Tian, who knew Tang Qiuli's habits very well, knew that in this state, the division commander was considering a new combat plan again, and after giving ten minutes, Tang Qiuli withdrew his mind from the map, looked at Chang Feng, and said, "Chang Feng, record the following order." ”
"After receiving the order, the various corps stationed on the Sino-Vietnamese, Sino-Laos, and Sino-Burmese border lines will transfer the reconnaissance units of the entire corps and use the scale of regimental units to enter the territory and be assigned to fight in various detachments of the special operations detachment, and the combat targets are the Japanese, British, and puppet army units.
Since the British dared to come forward, stop their own troops, clear the remnants of the Japanese army, and harass and threaten all places, there was nothing to spare, so they simply fought a big fight, hurt and frightened the British, and let them know that if they cooperated with my enemy Tang Qiuli, that was my enemy.
After Chang Feng recorded the order, he reminded: "Division commander, is the scale too large?" The five main corps, the reconnaissance unit alone, I am afraid that there are more than 30,000 or 4,000 people, plus the special operations detachment, it will have more than 40,000 troops, no less than a medium-sized battle, if the British pay attention to us, will it have an impact on the next Southeast Asian operation? ”
Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Your worries are all right, but have you thought about it, once our army enters Southeast Asia to fight, the battle line will be very long, these remnants of the Japanese army hidden in the jungle and mountains, taking advantage of the tension in the front, will jump out, and continue to attack our logistics supply lines, causing a huge threat. ”
"Moreover, after the elimination of these Japanese troops, the British will also feel great pressure, and they will take the initiative to come to the door and ask for negotiations, of course, protests and the like, don't pay attention to them, the British are pragmatists, we give the British a promise, the attention of the British will be turned to southern Burma, so that the Japanese will not do it, the British can't even parry a round, so that we are facing the Japanese army in full swing, there is no benefit!"
"More importantly, if the British lose too quickly, they will lose confidence, and it is possible to cede Burma to the Japanese, and our troops, entering Southeast Asia to fight, will have less legitimate reasons for the British to be eager to invite, and in the future, there will be a lot of trouble."
Chang Feng was dazzled when he heard it, and he was deeply impressed, the division commander is strategizing, it seems to be a battle of will, but it contains many strategic considerations, following such a commander, this life is in vain!
A few days later, from the Beibu Gulf in the east to the junction of the Sino-Indian border, thousands of kilometers long, the smoke of gunpowder was everywhere, and the flames of war were raging, and the most troublesome thing for the British came.
