Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1061 Don’t dare to fight

The Japanese have been slow to take action in Southeast Asia, so Tang Qiuli had to speculate in many aspects. Of course, he would never regard the British attitude towards the Japanese as a sign of goodwill towards him. From the heart of the British

He said that the Japanese are not welcome, and the Chinese will never be entertained with fine wine.

John Bull, a pragmatist, is very strict about what is within his own forbidden area, and changing the previous cooperative relationship with the Japanese can only show that the British still have the confidence and strength to compete with the Japanese and themselves.

Faced with the challenge, the original compromise on cooperation was nothing more than an attempt to use the Japanese against him.

Looking at the European battlefields, it is not difficult to draw this conclusion. Since the German army launched the war against Poland on September 1, it only took 28 days to occupy the Polish capital Warsaw. The two industrial bases in Eastern Europe are relatively developed.

The countries, Czechoslovakia and Poland, were included in the territory of the German Third Reich.

At this time, the German head of state, Hitler, was very ambitious and occupied two countries one after another. Although half of Poland was divided by the Soviets, which made the head of state feel uncomfortable. Perhaps, the German head of state's hatred of Stalin's greed and ambition came from this.

It started at a certain time, but after all, this was an unprecedented victory for the Third Reich.

It is conceivable that the Head of State was in a good mood. What made Hitler even more happy and strange was that Britain and France, as Poland's traditional allies and having signed a treaty of alliance and mutual assistance, sat back and watched Poland being occupied by the German army and divided between Germany and the Soviet Union.

Apart from weak diplomatic condemnations, the British and French troops hid behind reinforced concrete fortifications and did nothing.

Regarding this phenomenon, the German head of state Hitler, after occupying Poland, expressed his appeasement of the West in one sentence: "For this ending, the Poles should thank their British and French friends." After settling Poland and Czechoslovakia, the head of state again turned his attention to,

Focusing on Northern and Central Europe.

Because there has been no large-scale war with Britain and France for the time being, the British army and the French army on the European continent have not suffered any losses and their strength is still there. Tang Qiuli understood what the Japanese were thinking. They were waiting, waiting.

Depending on Hitler's next move, if Germany defeats Britain and France, then the Japanese will have no worries about taking action in Southeast Asia.

During this period, Emperor Hirohito of Japan was not in a very good mood. The war against China lasted for more than two years and more than one million troops were invested. In addition to the incomplete Northeast, the Kwantung Army was also in the hands of the Imperial Japanese Army.

No army can stand firm on Chinese soil.

In the recent Southern China Campaign, the Southern Expeditionary Force, which had high hopes, was first frustrated by the Central Army of the Chongqing Government, and then was severely defeated by the Japanese Army of the Demon Tang Qiuli of China, and was forced to withdraw to Southeast Asia. Originally, the Imperial Army

The occupation of Southeast Asia was carefully planned, but the favorable opportunity never appeared.

Hundreds of thousands of troops had to retreat to where they were. Emperor Hirohito was very angry. To be precise, he suffered from pink eye syndrome. Look at Germany, which conquered cities and territories in Europe and ate up two countries in one go. Nothing happened.

No one made any irresponsible remarks, no other countries came together to attack, and if they took it, they would take it. Hirohito was so greedy that he was so flustered that he couldn't sleep at night.

Look at the Japanese Empire again. It invested so much manpower and material resources, but it frequently failed in the battlefield of China and lost troops and generals. The root of all this lies in the China devil Tang Qiuli, who is the nemesis of the Imperial Japanese people.

, His Majesty the Emperor's nightmare, the war with China has come to this point. In addition to hating Tang Qiuli to his bones, Hirohito was also quite dissatisfied with his generals, especially General Touichi Terauchi, whose life or death was uncertain in Savage Mountain.

A dispatched army with hundreds of thousands of soldiers was turned into this by him, losing half of its troops, several generals, and being driven away by Tang Qiuli in a panic. He had no choice but to apologize to the British and ask to be taken in.

When had the imperial army ever been so miserable and humiliated?

And now, the British disgusted Emperor Hirohito and even declared the imperial soldiers who entered northern Burma to be refugees. Emperor Hirohito was almost furious. This was an insult to the samurai of the Japanese Empire, but he was angry. Hirohito was temporarily

I really don't dare to fight against the British in Southeast Asia.

There is only one reason. The strength of the British has not suffered major losses. As an old colonial empire, the British have a strong family background, which is not comparable to that of Japan, a newcomer. Although Southeast Asia is

This fertile land fascinates Emperor Hirohito, but he still has to hold back his saliva and wait for Japan's ally, the Germans, to beat the British until they are half alive. That is the best time for the Imperial Army to take action.

The biggest problem before Emperor Hirohito and the base camp is how to keep Juichi Terauchi and his men in combat and safely walk out of Savage Mountain. As long as the samurai of the empire can still pick up guns and fight, the so-called statement of the British does not matter.

Taking into account the more than 200,000 imperial soldiers, the British did not dare to take action easily. It was also a good move to occupy a piece of land in northern Myanmar as an important military force to cope with the future Southeast Asian campaign.

Emperor Hirohito had a very good abacus, and the British were not stupid. On the one hand, Alexander mobilized British troops and stationed heavy troops in Myitkyina, an important town in northern Myanmar. He monitored the exit of Savage Mountain in northern Myanmar and waited for the Japanese to walk out of Savage Mountain.

, he immediately asked people to hand over their guns. As for the more than a thousand Japanese soldiers sent by Xiaobayashi Shuichi to prepare to welcome the compatriots, they had long been imprisoned by the British army.

On the one hand, they continued to go to areas with frequent activities of the ** Division troops to increase their strength and put on a posture of never giving up until they drove the Chinese out of the country. Tang Qiuli was reminded by Alexander that the British dared to be beaten up.

After many times, there is only one reason for massing heavy troops to attack your own troops. In Southeast Asia, there are no Japanese troops for you Chinese to fight against. Therefore, it makes no sense for the Chinese ** troops to stay in British territory.

Alexander's purpose was very clear, to use war to promote peace. Tang Qiuli did his part and saw through the British's sinister intentions. He thought he was Li Hongzhang in the late Qing Dynasty? If a few cannons are fired at the border, I have to behave.

According to the British terms, go to the place designated by the British to negotiate.

The British were trying to drive out tigers and wolves. They used the Japanese division troops to defeat the Japanese and solved the instability within their sphere of influence for the British. Then they turned around and attacked themselves. Why did they allow the Japanese to be allowed in the first place?

?It’s not just that the Japanese Army deployed hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, which made the British feel uneasy, it just so happened that the Japanese became free thugs.

As expected, on October 10th, Tang Qiuli issued a combat order to the troops fighting overseas, "The current combat targets of each combat group have been switched from the Japanese army to the British army and the puppet troops controlled by the British.

The main tasks are, firstly, to control the area currently occupied, and secondly, to severely defeat the British army, mainly to annihilate the effective strength of the British army."

Since the British wanted to fight, they would accompany them. So, on the border line that had been silent for a few days, artillery roared again and gunpowder smoke filled the air. The Japanese divisions started fighting with the British. The Japanese were the happiest.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the General Staff Headquarters of the Japanese Army Base Camp formulated a plan to provide aerial supplies to the Terauchi Juichi troops trapped in Savage Mountain. The actual situation was that the Japanese troops who entered Savage Mountain encountered great difficulties, and the difficulties came from many sources.

On the other hand, the extremely harsh natural conditions are certainly factors that cannot be overcome.

And Tang Qiuli's ferocious attack on the Japanese army before the Japanese army entered the Savage Mountain made the Japanese army unprepared and entered the Savage Mountain in a panic. This was the absolute factor that put the Japanese soldiers to death. There was no food, no salt, and very little left.

Medicines are like virgin forests that have never seen the light of day.

The silent miasma, infested beasts, deadly swamps and ubiquitous dangers were deadly killers for the Japanese soldiers. In just five days after entering Savage Mountain, the Japanese army had already lost more than 20,000 people, and the muddy mountain roads

, corpses of Japanese soldiers can be seen everywhere. If some wounded are included, Terauchi Juichi has lost more than 40,000 people.

It can be said that these dozens of kilometers of roads were paved step by step with the corpses of Japanese soldiers. But where does the road ahead end? Not only ordinary Japanese soldiers do not know, but even their commander-in-chief, General Touichi Terauchi,

His eyes were blank and his mind was desolate.

After a few days, the majestic army general of the Japanese Empire was so haggard that he almost lost his appearance. Only now did he understand why the troops could enter this man-eating savage mountain without being blocked. It was completely because of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli.

With his careful planning, Savage Mountain was a huge trap he left for himself and more than 200,000 imperial soldiers.

Tengchong, Baoshan, and even Ruili were heavily guarded by the Army Division. Only the Savage Mountain opened its doors to the imperial soldiers. When he hesitated, he devoted all his troops to fiercely attack the rearguard troops, even raising the necessary troops.

They can't do it even with supplies. All of this is to put themselves and the troops into a desperate situation.

Perhaps, when he commanded the imperial soldiers to storm Loushanguan, this vicious plan had already been formed in the mind of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli. This man was so terrifying that he completely controlled the rhythm of the battlefield. Thinking of this, Terauchi Shouichi

He couldn't help but shudder. Facing an opponent like Tang Qiuli, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Along the way, seeing the corpses of the imperial soldiers, Temple Shouichi's heart became numb. Not only the ordinary soldiers, but even he himself did not know whether he could drink the clear water of Myitkyina alive, so he could only

Asking for help from the base camp, as for the dignity of the imperial general, it became worthless in the face of life.

The only good news that brought him to his gloomy heart was that the base camp organized a huge fleet of transport aircraft to airdrop supplies to the troops. This was the only hope for the imperial soldiers to escape the fate of annihilation. He received a telegram from the base camp.

Afterwards, Juichi Terauchi almost shed tears.

In order to show the importance he attached to this airdrop, the Commander-in-Chief personally arranged the airdrop site. After lighting three bonfires as required, Terauchi looked at the eastern sky expectantly.
