Age of Conquest Reborn

.Chapter 1,123 Alexander is gone

June 23 was undoubtedly an unforgettable day for Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British garrison in Indochina. On this day, he personally came to the outskirts of Myitkyina to greet his troops. After going through many hardships and dangers, he finally evacuated safely to Myitkyina.

..

For this hard-won welcome, he prepared a passionate speech to encourage and comfort the soldiers who had gone through a difficult journey. This was his greatest asset in Southeast Asia. No amount of etiquette could be excessive. Moreover,

There is still a trace of guilt in the heart of the Commander-in-Chief. When the troops were experiencing danger, as the supreme commander, he was not with the soldiers. Thinking of this, Alexander felt somewhat uncomfortable.

On the other hand, Alexander was worried about Tang Qiuli and had already decided that he did not want to stay in Myanmar for a day. After resting for three days in Myitkyina, he immediately withdrew to India and let the treacherous and cunning Tang Qiuli

Qiu Li, go face the ferocious attack of hundreds of thousands of Japanese alone. When the Chinese and Japanese are both defeated in the Indochina Peninsula, it will be time for you to lead the British Empire's army and return.

The military flag finally floated in front of him. The first thing Alexander saw was the tired, dusty and slumped Chief of General Staff Major General Francis, and dozens of ragged and scarred officers. Alexander hurriedly greeted him and walked all the way to the front.

He reached out his hand enthusiastically and said loudly: "My dearest Francis, you have created a miracle! Under heavy siege by the Japanese, you are the biggest contributor to being able to lead the soldiers to Myitkyina safely!"

The enthusiasm of His Excellency the Commander was not responded to. Francis, including the officers, looked at the commander-in-chief with a cheerful face with dead eyes and lifeless eyes. He dared to love, and Francis wandered to Myitkyina like a zombie, sleepwalking,

Along the way, I never thought about sending a telegram to Alexander.

Looking at Alexander, Francis's ashen eyes changed a little, and he walked in front of him with heavy steps, "Report to your Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, Major General Francis, Chief of Staff of the British Empire in Indochina, leading all more than 30,000 soldiers

Please report to the Commander-in-Chief for instructions!" Francis' tone and tone were lifeless, as if he had just crawled out of a pile of dead people, which made people feel goosebumps all over their bodies.

Alexander took a few steps back and asked in disbelief: "Francis, what did you say? More than 30,000 people? When our air force was covering the retreat by the Yindun River, weren't there still more than 200,000 soldiers?" Francis

He just shook his head and refused to say another word. He did not ask Francis again, but hurried up a small hill at a speed that even young people could not match.

At this time, the morning sun was rising, and the mist over the fields was dispersed by the sunshine. Everything under the hills was clearly visible. The British soldiers, who were not in any formation at all, supported each other, staggered, and walked away from them exhausted.

In front of the commander-in-chief, like a zombie, he was mechanically moving towards Myitkyina.

Unless he is blind, anyone can see the difference between hundreds of thousands of people and more than 30,000 people at a glance. Stars were flying in front of Alexander's eyes. He felt dizzy and passed out at that time. The guards and staff who followed him hurriedly brought the commander-in-chief

The officer got into the car and sped towards the Army Field Hospital in Myitkyina City.

Alexander was on the hospital bed. After listening to the chief of staff who was more or less angry, Francis reported the whole process. Francis' dry words had stopped. Alexander seemed to have not yet reacted. He stared at the white and dazzling ceiling in a word.

He didn't even say anything, he had nothing to say.

Of the more than 400,000 troops, only more than 30,000 troops finally arrived in Myitkyina, not even one tenth. He lost all his last possessions and all the capital to establish a foothold in Indochina. In his heart,

He no longer knew what pain and sadness were. Strangely enough, Alexander didn't really hate the Japanese who slaughtered hundreds of thousands of his soldiers.

On the contrary, he hated Tang Qiuli deeply. Perhaps it was his resentment towards Tang Qiuli for refusing to save him, or perhaps it was his long-standing contempt for the Chinese. In front of the Chinese, the British gentleman lost all his pants, and

But he had no choice but to watch the outcome happen, with a kind of resentment that turned into anger. In fact, even if the ** division troops really made a huge sacrifice to rescue the British from Mandalay, Alexander would not feel sorry for him in his heart.

Tang Qiuli was grateful, but believed that this was a matter of course.

This is really strange logic. Could it be that the huge failure caused a serious distortion in the heart of this British man? Instead of hating his enemies, he developed hatred for the Chinese who had been scheming. It is really unreasonable. Tang Qiu

It was precisely after Li saw this about Alexander that he looked on with cold eyes.

Three days later, on June 26, 1940, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in Indochina and Burma, Lieutenant General Alexander, took more than 30,000 people who had lost all their energy and spirit to survive.

The soldiers left Myitkyina and headed towards the Hukhan Valley, continuing to promote the evacuation plan to India.

Before leaving, Chu Ziye, commander of the Sixth Brigade of the Corps directly under the ** Division and commander of the Myitkyina garrison, went to the outskirts of Myitkyina to see him off on behalf of the division commander Tang Qiuli. In order to express concern for the allies, the ** Division Logistics Department presented

The poor British people received a large amount of supplies and materials, lost all their belongings, and were left with only a pair of underpants to show their concern.

Regarding this move, Chu Ziye was reluctant and thought it was unnecessary. He complained to his teacher Tang Qiuli on the phone, "Sir, when I see the British, I get very angry. This is

What the hell kind of army there are, more than 400,000 men, complete with guns and artillery, and good equipment, yet they were beaten into such a bear shape without even scratching the kid's fur, how shameful!"

Tang Qiuli said to Chu Ziye on the phone: "Midnight, a gentleman breaks off friendship without saying anything bad. Besides, the British are not useless at all. After all, they have slowed down the Japanese army's advance. What's more, they

He also gave us the entire Indochina Peninsula, which is reasonable, so just work hard and go on my behalf!"

I don’t know what kind of psychology Tang Qiuli had. Anyway, when Chu Ziye gave the materials and supplies to the British, Alexander didn’t react at all. He just gave Chu Ziye a cold look.

Chief of Staff Francis expressed his gratitude enthusiastically.

Seeing the British gradually disappearing into the mountains of northern Myanmar, Chu Ziye muttered fiercely, "Damn it, you look so unlucky on your face, you're going to do that to a little devil? There are so many good things, you might as well feed them to dogs!"

"It was what happened later that made all the army generals who were puzzled by Tang Qiuli's move start to figure it out.

Reporters from many domestic newspapers, including foreign reporters stationed in China, visited the scene in person and witnessed the Chinese Communist Party. Their deep friendship and heart for the Allied Forces were faithfully recorded with their cameras and pens in their hands.

Everything that happened in Myitkyina, within a few days, various newspapers reported in large articles the ** Division's assistance to the Allied forces.

Many influential overseas newspapers, including the New York Times in the United States, also reported on the matter, accompanied by large photos of the deputy commander of the ** Division and the Northeast Command Headquarters far away on the front line in Jinzhou, Northeast China.

Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, the commander-in-chief, looked at

The newspaper said meaningfully to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, "Yuhe, the division commander played this trick very beautifully. The British suffered a dumb loss and couldn't catch anything at all. They also publicized it to the outside world.

The reputation of our nurse is so high!"

Alexander left, taking the remaining defeated troops with him, which meant that the British power had completely faded out of the Indochina Peninsula. The nearly century-old history of monopolizing this fertile land was over. The British Empire lost its colonies in Southeast Asia.

, Alexander left and never returned to Indochina again. He had no capital, and Tang Qiuli did not give him such an opportunity. From then on, the British general known as the Emperor of Indochina was gradually regarded in people's eyes and hearts.

Forgotten, and eventually disappeared.

Tang Qiuli used his unparalleled strategy to open a new page in the history of Indochina. From then on, this land became the world of the Chinese and the battlefield of the war with the Japanese. After several centuries,

This land that was separated from Chinese territory has returned to China. This is the end of an era.

Just when Alexander left Myitkyina with infinite sadness and melancholy, Tang Qiuli led Shanhu and a dozen special guards on a hillside, far away on the road that the British army must pass through.

He stared at the lifeless and dragging march of the British army. The cool morning breeze, carrying the rich aroma unique to northern Myanmar, blew through the tips of his black and white hair.

Shan Hu, who was beside Tang Qiuli, noticed that the division commander's eyes contained extremely complex emotions, including coldness, contempt, and even a trace of pity. Shan Hu had personally experienced everything that happened in the Burma Campaign. Ying

The ending of the army being almost wiped out made Shan Hu confused and shocked at the same time.

More than 400,000 people were wiped out like this in seven or eight days. What kind of army is this? The combat effectiveness is so unbearable. And all this is the childhood friend in front of me, today's brother of life and death.

His masterpiece, with the help of the Japanese, more than 400,000 British troops were completely wiped out. Shan Hu found it incredible when he thought about it.

Tang Qiuli withdrew his gaze, saw the confusion and sigh in Shan Hu's eyes, and said somewhat halfheartedly: "Hu Zi, am I very cold-hearted? After all, there are hundreds of thousands of lives!"

Shan Hu shook his head and replied: "Xiao Qiu, I don't know the truth. I only know that everything you do is for our brothers and the Chinese people!"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said, "The British have left. It's time to deal with the Japanese. Commander Ito will definitely not be left alone." Amidst the laughter, several cars sped away, setting a sign along the way.

Smoke and dust.
