Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1054: The Consul of Northern Burma

Juichi Terauchi commanded the main force of Japan's Southern China Expeditionary Force. After many days of forced marches, the scent of Tengchong and Baoshan could be smelled. However, the Japanese's good luck ended here.

First, the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division Aviation Force, under the command of Commander Le Yiqin, dispatched more than 700 bombers and fighter jets. They were divided into five groups and carried out an aviation battle against the Japanese troops heading towards the Yunnan-Myanmar border passage.

The largest air raid since its establishment.

For more than six hours of air raids, the Japanese army withstood countless heavy aerial bombs. The greatest threat to the Japanese soldiers was the aviation's deadly weapon "Buddha's Light" napalm bombs, which burned the verdant mountains and forests in western Yunnan into flying flames.

The smoke was billowing, and the Japanese soldiers could only avoid, hide, and defend themselves from the air, watching helplessly as the bodies of their companions were blown to pieces by the Chinese aerial bombs, and burned into black coke by the flaming napalm bombs.

After the air raid ended, the Japanese disaster did not end there. When they arrived at Yingjiang, Baoshan, and Tengchong, the Myanmar border was close at hand. The distance of more than ten kilometers seemed to be crossed in a few steps. However, what greeted them was the Japanese Army.

The directly affiliated corps has ten brigades of troops lined up on the front line.

Temple Shouichi commanded the troops, tentatively attacking Baoshan, Tengchong, Yingjiang, and the artillery of the directly affiliated corps. They used volcanic eruption-like artillery fire to blow up the Japanese offensive route into a sea of ​​​​fire. The Japanese attack was thwarted across the board, and the temple was bruised and bloody.

Shouyi never had the courage to organize a second attack.

With no way forward and no way to retreat, he looked around blankly. Myitkyina in northern Myanmar was dozens of kilometers away, so close to the horizon. Retreating to Savage Mountain was the only choice for Shouichi in the temple. In other words, 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 repeated itself, but the protagonists were replaced by the Japanese. At the beginning, only 10,000 of the 50,000 soldiers of the expeditionary force walked out of the Savage Mountain. Today, of the more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers, only a few can walk out of the Savage Mountain.

.

The Japanese army turned to the direction of Savage Mountain. Tang Qiuli ordered all units of the directly affiliated corps to attack across the board. Before the Japanese army was swallowed up by Savage Mountain, he struck a hard blow, leaving the Japanese with no time to prepare more supplies. They entered Savage Mountain in the most haste.

.

However, the combat orders issued by Tang Qiuli to the brigades of the directly affiliated corps still make people confused and confused. "Each brigade must lead with tanks, followed by infantry and artillery, push forward in a straight line, and drive away the Japanese army with firepower.

No brigade is allowed to attack and advance alone, let alone intersect, divide and encircle the Japanese army. After all the Japanese troops enter Savage Mountain, the battle must end and the troops are not allowed to pursue. Remember, the key point of this battle is to force the Japanese troops to flee south, not to annihilate them on the spot.

."

After receiving the order, the brigade commanders of the directly affiliated corps pondered for a long time and did not understand the intentions of the division commander. Among them, the commander of the fourth brigade, Wang Chengye, was in the most advantageous position. He had ordered the troops to prepare and go around.

The Japanese army in front blocked these little devils between Gushui and Houqiao, creating a situation of closing the door and beating the dogs.

The division commander's order filled Wang Chengye with enthusiasm, which turned into annoyance in his heart. The fourth brigade had no problem blocking the Japanese army for more than two hours. The troops behind them caught up and were able to make dumplings for more than 200,000 little devils in no time. However, the division commander

This inexplicable order is really...

The chief of staff of the brigade came over to ask for instructions whether the troops should set off immediately. Wang Chengye threw the telegram on the table and said: "What else are we going to attack? The division commander gave an order to let our brigade wait for other brigades to arrive and push forward together. I don't understand.

Okay, what's going on, Commander? Since we arrived in western Yunnan, we have issued some incomprehensible orders."

In fact, not only Wang Chengye felt this way, but also the brigade commanders of the directly affiliated corps and even the Chief of Staff Chang Feng had this strange feeling. However, no one said it. The Chief of Staff carefully read the instructions of the division.

After giving the order, he pondered for a moment and said: "Brigadier, there is something wrong with this order. Isn't this letting the little devil escape?"

Wang Chengye punched the table hard and said, "Who said it wasn't that? I don't understand how the division commander would issue such an order. No, I have to ask." After saying that, he picked up the phone and said, "Chief of Staff

? I am Wang Chengye, is this really an order from the division commander? Our brigade is now in a very advantageous position, and we are absolutely sure to block the little Japs between Gushui and Houqiao..."

Before Chang Feng could answer, Tang Qiuli on the side took the call, "Is it Wang Chengye? Why, do you doubt the order? The only thing you need to do is to execute the order unswervingly. I tell you, don't

You are trying to grab credit, otherwise, you can become a consultant to me!" There was a "bang", and before Wang Chengye could speak, Tang Qiuli put down the phone on the other end.

Wang Chengye shrank his neck, looked at the phone with a "beep" busy tone, stayed for a while, and gave a helpless smile to the chief of staff, saying: "The teacher is very angry, let's not get into this bad habit, and we won't let the fat in our mouths go."

Eat, endure it, and order the troops to stay put and wait for other troops to arrive."

Temple Shouichi passed through Savage Mountain and entered northern Burma to reach Myitkyina. He was also unsure. What he was worried about was the supply of the troops. From the map, there were hundreds of kilometers of no-man's land with no supplies at all along the way. He was about to order the troops.

, solve the supply problem nearby. The so-called solution nearby is nothing more than burning, killing and looting the surrounding Chinese people, and looting everything.

But Tang Qiuli didn't give him this chance. Three tank brigades and more than a thousand tanks rushed over, followed by the artillery of the directly affiliated corps and hundreds of thousands of infantry. A barrage of artillery fire and tank assaults, the fight was not over.

The Japanese troops who had time to attack the Chinese people scurried away.

Upon seeing this, Terauchi Shouichi hurriedly ordered the troops to enter Savage Mountain and get rid of the pursuit of the Japanese division troops. The artillery shells exploded in the buttocks. The Japanese soldiers carried deflated dry food bags, little ammunition left, and their physical strength was on the verge of collapse. They panicked and chose the road.

They broke into the Savage Mountain with a radius of several hundred kilometers and embarked on the path of death that Tang Qiuli chose for them.

Tang Qiuli looked over from the hall and saw the continuous mountains in western Yunnan, like giant dragons, straddling the border between China and Myanmar. He even thought viciously that if he sent a troop to ambush at the exit of the Burmese side of Savage Mountain

After going through a lot of hardships and narrowly escaped death, Juichi Juuchi in the temple saw the village houses in ruins and the smoke rising from the cooking stoves. Did he feel excited to return to the human world?

When the ragged and haggard Japanese soldiers were ecstatic that they had saved their lives and were grateful to Amaterasu and the Emperor for their protection, and were weeping with joy, a group of men and horses suddenly came out and in an instant, the Japanese soldiers who had escaped death were thrown out of heaven.

How pleasant it must be to enter hell and watch the Japanese soldiers go from full of hope to extreme despair.

However, entering Myanmar to fight is not an easy task. The British are more prepared for China than they are for the Japanese, and will not allow the Chinese troops to enter their territory. The thinking of the British is full of selfishness and pragmatism.

They would rather let the Japanese army retreat into Myanmar than allow the Chinese to enter their territory.

Originally, the hundreds of thousands of British troops in Burma and Southeast Asia were not of concern to Tang Qiuli. It was easy for him to order his troops to cross the Sino-Burmese and Sino-Vietnamese borders to pursue the retreating Japanese troops. As for the British protests,

Just treat things like this as farts. The British Empire brand can scare the big guys in the government.

Wanting to scare Tang Qiuli is not strong enough, but the time is not yet ripe. If the Japanese division forces forcefully enter Burma and Vietnam, the selfish, arrogant and stupid British will most likely join forces with the Japanese army to deal with the Japanese.

Although the division troops are not afraid, it is not cost-effective in terms of strategy and tactics to have more enemies appear out of thin air.

There was also a fundamental conflict with Tang Qiuli's strategic vision. When the Japanese took action in Southeast Asia and fought fiercely with the British and Americans, Tang Qiuli deployed troops on the border. According to historical records, Japan launched the Southeast Asian war.

This is the time when people are sweeping across the British and American forces, advancing all the way, and conquering cities and territories with great ease.

The British were retreating steadily and had to flee to India, and the Americans were scurrying about. MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the US military in the Philippines, took a small boat of the US Navy and fled to Australia. This was the best time to send troops to Southeast Asia.

Let the Japanese, the British, and the Americans fight fiercely first. When the British and Americans can no longer hold on and come to ask for help, the initiative is in their own hands. There is an old saying that "wait for the price and sell it." Tang Qiuli

What we need to do now is to prepare for war, save enough capital, and wait for Britain and the United States to come.

Two old colonial powers, two fat sheep raised with the blood and sweat of the colonial people, Tang Qiuli will never be soft when he uses the knife, the knife will penetrate into the bones, and he will not leave even a breath to Britain and the United States.

, no one would understand his long-term strategic vision, and even if he told others, no one would believe it.

The tanks on the front line roared, the artillery roared, and there was peace and tranquility in Tengchong City. This thousand-year-old ancient city in western Yunnan was spared from the Japanese war and the destruction of historical monuments. Tang Qiuli was proud that he hosted a banquet for the local gentry in order to learn more about this ancient city.

The background and connotation of the story were intertwined with laughter.

Chen Feng, the director of the Communications Department, came in and handed him a document with a heavy face. The content of the document was sent by Lord Smitrang George, the British Governor-General in Myanmar and the consul in northern Myanmar.

The letter of protest read, "Her Majesty the Queen of the British Empire, the Governor-General of Burma, and the Governor of Northern Burma, Lord Smitrang. George, on behalf of the Governor-General himself, objected to the Chinese People's Liberation Army's unauthorized crossing of the Sino-Vietnamese border and infringement of the interests of the British Empire.

File a solemn protest to the Republic of China government!"

The lower part of the document contains the specific content of the protest. The text is full of arrogance and prejudice, rudeness and threats. What makes Tang Qiuli most ridiculous is that the Governor of Northern Burma of the British Empire, in the letter of protest,

In the end, he was threatened nakedly.

"If the army of the Republic of China government does not give an apology that satisfies the British side and pay reasonable compensation, the army of the British Empire has the right to carry out armed attacks on the Republic of China army. All consequences will be borne by China.

conceited!"
