Two days passed quickly.
The British-Burmese Army did not have any doubts about the orders issued by the headquarters. The Burmese Army's 1st Division, 17th Division, 36th Division, 63rd Independent Brigade and 7th Armored Brigade successively moved to Meng Gong.
Here I have to mention the situation on the African battlefield.
After the German-Japanese-Italian Axis Alliance was fully formed, and World War II broke out, Italy targeted North Africa, especially Egypt.
Italy¡¯s coveting of Africa has historical genes.
Since the time of the Roman Empire, Beizhou has been a Roman colony.
But now, North Africa is a British overseas colony.
So it was inevitable that a war would break out between Italy and Britain.
However, Italy's combat effectiveness is well known to everyone. As soon as the battle began, it was defeated by the British army led by Montgomery. In order to save face and obtain the colonies in North Africa, Mussolini could only ask for help from the head of state, so the head of state sent Rommel led the German army to help North Africa.
Now the war situation in North Africa has reversed again.
Montgomery attacked the Italians like he was chopping melons and vegetables, but when he encountered Rommel, the desert fox, he immediately turned into a vegetable. In just three months, he retreated to Egypt and saw that the Suez Canal was about to be lost!
Against this background, British Prime Minister Churchill began to mobilize troops frantically from overseas colonies.
Therefore, the British and Burmese troops heading north to Mengong did not become suspicious. They all thought that they were about to be transferred to Egypt to fight the German army.
As for the weapons and equipment left behind, they fully believed what the command said in the order. The weapons and equipment left behind were used to arm the national army. After they walked to Egypt empty-handed, they could obtain the American troops transported from the United States. This can save a large number of weapons transportation tasks.

December 24, 1940, evening.
The British soldiers of the British-Burmese Army were already preparing to spend Christmas Eve, and a ragged army marched into Meng Gong.
Robert is a staff sergeant in the 1st Division of the British-Burmese Army. He is responsible for the food supply of a company. In fact, he is equivalent to the cooking squad leader of the national army.
Because tonight is Christmas Eve, I¡¯m going to go shopping for some fruits, eggs, etc.
The British and Burmese troops have actually not had an easy time in the past year or so, because after the attack on the British mainland, the British government has been overwhelmed by itself. The troops stationed in overseas colonies no longer receive local supplies, not just ammunition supplies. , Even military pay can no longer be paid.
But fortunately, the colonial government was still able to provide some supplies.
But because it was Christmas Eve, the officers and soldiers must have a big meal, so Robert took a few soldiers to the local streets of Mengong to purchase supplies.
I had just bought a basket of durians when I saw an army approaching in front of me.
The soldiers who were following Robert immediately widened their eyes and screamed.
"Oh, my God, what do I see? Is this an army? Or a bunch of beggars?"
"My God, there are such pitiful armies in the world? What are they wearing on their feet?"
"It's straw sandals, God, I know these things. I have seen them on the Burmese natives, but the Burmese natives wear leather soles!"
"God, look how thin they have become."
"I think they must not have had a full meal for a long time."
Amidst the whispers of several soldiers, Robert finally turned around.
When Robert¡¯s eyes fell on this army, he couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.
God, what kind of army is this? The world actually has such an army?
I saw that this army was moving forward in four columns. The soldiers in the queue were all sallow and thin. The clothes on their bodies could barely be seen as military uniforms, but they were in tatters.
Some soldiers¡¯ uniforms have turned into tattered strips of cloth, hanging on their bodies like that, swaying in the wind.
Under the tattered military uniform, what are exposed are clear ribs, thin arms, and the muscles on the cheeks are also deeply sunken.
As a cook, Robert could tell at a glance that the food in this army was very bad.
Because judging from their appearance, these soldiers are already severely malnourished and can fall down if the wind blows!
Out of professional instinct, Robert suddenly felt angry in his heart. The commander of this army is really such a bastard.It must be that they withheld funds, which led to a shortage of food for the army. That's why these soldiers were malnourished, and that's why they became like this.
However, Robert quickly gave up this idea.
Because there is no proper depression on the faces of these soldiers.
Rather than being depressed, these soldiers all seemed to be in high spirits!
"Oh God!" Robert said in a low voice, "Where did this army come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, an officer walking in the queue suddenly replied in English: "Hello, British, we are the Sichuan Army from Sichuan, China. Have you heard of the Sichuan Army?"
¡¡
The Sichuan Army officer who answered Robert was Li Yueshen, a fifth-term student of Army University.
Before Li Yueshen joined the army, he attended a local church primary school in Guang'an for several years and studied English with a priest for several years. Because of his excellent language talent, he spoke English quite well.
Before being selected by Zhong Yi to study at Army University, Li Yueshen was just a battalion commander.
But now, Li Yueshen is already a colonel commander of the 27th Group Army.
After returning to the old army, most of the trainees of the special fifth batch were promoted to regiment leaders.
"British people, where is the British-Burmese army camp?" Li Yueshen asked politely, "Our regiment has come to receive your equipment under the order of the Burmese Theater Commander's Department. Can you take us there? "
Hearing this, Robert's face suddenly fell. It turned out to be the Chinese army.
To be honest, Robert has no ill feelings toward the Chinese and even has some sympathy for them.
But the arrogance in their bones did not allow them to hand over the equipment in their hands.
Even though the commander of the British-Burmese Army has given a clear order, they are still reluctant to hand over their weapons and equipment, especially if they are handed over to the Chinese, they are even more reluctant.
"I don't know." Robert snorted and denied, "Ask someone else."
Li Yueshen couldn't help but frown slightly. The guys in front of him clearly spoke English and were wearing British military uniforms. Dare you say that they are not British soldiers?
Where are you coaxing ghosts? Li Yueshen thought angrily.
At that moment, Li Yueshen waved his hand and led his troops to follow Robert.
Robert walked for a while and found that the Sichuan army was following him, and he couldn't help but become anxious.
"Fake, why are you following us?" Robert asked, "I told you earlier, we are not the British-Burmese army, and we don't know where the British-Burmese army is stationed."
