Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Alexander, Commander-in-Chief of the British Army in Burma and Southeast Asia, and Ebson, the British Governor-General in Burma, came to Tengchong in China this time to meet with the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government and the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government, who deployed nearly one million troops on the borders of China, Burma, Vietnam, and Laos.  Tang Qiuli, the commander of the North China Army Division, negotiated. As an old saying goes, he "returned empty-handed."  , which made him miserable.  Strange

    On the way back to Yangon, the two were in an extremely depressed mood. This made the British, who were accustomed to running rampant in Southeast Asia, extremely unhappy. Moreover, Tang Qiuli overturned the two old-fashioned colonialists and established a strong attitude toward China.  All awareness.

    Alexander, in particular, had more worries in his heart. The fact that more than 7,000 British prisoners of war fell into the hands of Tang Qiuli has always been a worry for him. What kind of fuss would this tough and arrogant Chinese use the prisoner of war issue to make?  Woolen cloth?

    Perhaps, his initial plan was wrong. Paying a certain price to facilitate Tang Qiuli's release of prisoners of war should be the best way to solve the problem. But why did he think that Tang Qiuli would unconditionally release British prisoners of war?  It is based on the understanding of China.

    But what Tang Qiuli did was obviously different from the Chinese people he knew. It was very different. There was no servility in front of the generals of the British Empire and no fear from the bottom of his heart. Thinking of Tang Qiuli's words before leaving,  The mocking gaze made Alexander feel confused and unsure of his reasons.

    Ebsen's thoughts were different from Alexander's. He was equally depressed and worried. Tang Qiuli's troops had penetrated dozens of kilometers into the British sphere of influence in Indochina. Alexander's troops were unable to stop or drive them away.  .

    In the long run, China's penetration in Southeast Asia will gradually encroach on Britain's sphere of influence, and the consequences will be quite terrible. Based on his observation after meeting Tang Qiuli, this tough-minded Chinese has both the strength and capital, as well as the  With such courage and thought, it is very likely that in a few years, he would become the last governor of the British Empire in Southeast Asia. Ebsen was disturbed by this terrible speculation.

    Looking at Alexander who was swaying silently as the car bumped, Ebsen said: "General, if the Chinese army stays in Southeast Asia, it will be a very serious problem for the interests of our British Empire.  Threat, Tang Qiuli is very ambitious, and he will never be satisfied with the status quo."

    "I personally believe that since negotiations cannot solve the problem, it must be solved by force. General, please forgive me, is it really impossible for our army to expel or eliminate the Chinese invaders who are invading our interests? As far as I know,  The general has hundreds of thousands of troops in Southeast Asia?"

    Alexander suddenly opened his eyes, the anger in his eyes flashed through, and he thought to himself, "This cunning old guy, he is doubting me. He did not attack China hard enough and did not use all his strength to save one hand.  Stupid, what's in it for me?"

    He originally wanted to retort a few words, but then he thought about it. His troops were beaten into chaos by the Chinese and suffered consecutive defeats. This was a fact after all. The troops were defeated and it was useless to say anything, even if they wanted to  Even if you lose your temper, you can't stand up!

    Then he smiled bitterly and replied patiently: "Your Majesty the Governor, the opponent we are facing is no longer the Chinese we are familiar with. As for Tang Qiuli's Chinese, you have also seen the equipment of his troops and the fighting will of his soldiers.  The level of training and training is beyond our imagination. Frankly speaking, with the current situation of our British Empire¡¯s troops in Southeast Asia, they are no match for China. Although this makes me very painful, I have to admit this. Perhaps, maintaining the status quo is  The best ending right now?¡±

    Ebsen glanced at Alexander in surprise, as if he didn't know him, "This stubborn soldier relies on himself to command the overseas armies of the British Empire. In front of him, he has always been arrogant and in his own authority.  He is still meddling in everything within the scope, and he is unwilling to admit defeat. What is going on today? "

    Ebsen smiled sinisterly and said: "General, maintaining the status quo is tantamount to leaving hidden dangers. That Tang Qiuli will never be satisfied with the status quo. Since our existing troops in Southeast Asia cannot complete the task of stopping China's invasion  "General, why don't you ask for local reinforcements in the name of the commander-in-chief of the army? I think the parliament and the cabinet will not turn a blind eye to this, right? The worst is to have another Opium War!"

    Alexander¡¯s eyes lit up, yes, why did he forget to ask for help from the mainland?  Not only the army, but also the navy and air force are all trying to increase their strength in Southeast Asia. However, they can't do it alone. They have to involve Ebsen. If they lose face, they will lose it together!

    Alexander sat up straight and said: "Your Excellency the Governor, your suggestion is very timely. I would like to jointly make a statement to the local government in the name of both of us."??In Southeast Asia, China's aggression against the overseas territories of our British Empire is more convincing and will attract the attention of Parliament and the Cabinet. What are your opinions?  "

    Ebsen, an old fox, could see through Alexander's intentions at a glance. However, Tang Qiuli's threat to Southeast Asia was related to the common interests of both parties. Even if they united with him, they would not suffer any loss. Therefore, the two parties  In the car, we carefully discussed the specific content of the report to the country.

    The dull atmosphere in the car was swept away, and the proud laughter of two old foxes could be heard from time to time. In their hearts, Tang Qiuli threatened to surpass Japan. The convoy arrived in Myitkyina, and Ebsen returned by plane.  Rangoon, Alexander remained in Myitkyina.

    Inspecting a refugee camp that was under construction for more than 200,000 Japanese immigrants to enter the mountains. While inspecting the refugee camp, Alexander already had an idea. No matter what excuse Tang Qiuli used, he would stay.  If they don't leave Southeast Asia, they will take in these Japanese immigrants.

    Moreover, they also need to rearm. Once domestic reinforcements arrive, these Japanese soldiers who have been favored by the British Empire will go to China again to fight against Tang Qiuli's troops. This will be a great help to themselves and their troops.  As long as Japan restrains most of Tang Qiuli's troops and clears out the troops in Southeast Asia, it will be much easier.

    The British just carved out a piece of land in northern Myanmar, but got so many benefits. Alexander believed that it was worth doing. Therefore, he ordered the person in charge of the construction of the refugee camp to improve the infrastructure and let the Japanese  After being able to rest well, there was one thing he didn't say, "These Japanese are all free thugs in the future. Let the dogs bite them, and you have to give them a bone! Not to mention dealing with Tang Qiuli, a serious enemy.  Suddenly, he was full of expectations for the Japanese soldiers entering the mountains. "

    In the wilderness and in the mountains, Juichi Terauchi, who was about to go crazy from torture, could not have imagined that the British entered Alexandria, bathed in the October sunshine of northern Burma, and were plotting against him and his exhausted imperial soldiers. For more than ten years,  More than 200,000 Japanese soldiers struggled desperately in the virgin forest covering hundreds of kilometers.

    Temple Shouichi and the Japanese soldiers faced the enemy invasion not from the well-equipped ** division troops, but from the harsh natural environment in the mountains. What the Japanese army lacked most was food and medicine. Tang Qiuli blocked the Japanese airdrop of supplies from the air.  The strategy was very effective. Many times, the Japanese soldiers looked eagerly and saw the transport plane with the sun logo on its wings flying towards the narrow Lan Yao above their heads.

    Cheering, jumping, shouting long live His Majesty the Yao Emperor, eyes filled with excitement, but in the blink of an eye, in the blue sky, a fighter jet with five-clawed golden dragon and Great Wall patterns on the wings suddenly appeared, like a falcon, ferocious  He pounced on the big and heavy Imperial Japanese transport plane and watched as the transport plane turned into black fireworks in the sky. The broken fuselage, filled with thick smoke, fell to the feet of the Japanese soldiers.

    Despair, cold despair, made the eager hearts of the Japanese soldiers fall to the bottom. Countless hopes were shattered, and the hearts of the Japanese soldiers were so numb that there was no wave. Even the Japanese Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force dropped every time,  Sending a large number of fighter jets to escort them could not change the dilemma faced by Japan's dispatched troops to southern China.

    Le Yiqin faithfully carried out the order of the division commander Tang Qiuli and concentrated two-thirds of the fighter units of the ** Division Aviation Force. The First and Second Southern Flying Groups took turns to fight in the Yerushan airspace in northern Myanmar, fighting with  The Japanese escorted the fighter formations and launched a fierce aerial battle. After more than ten days of fighting, the Japanese aviation could not bear the heavy losses. Finally, it stopped airdropping supplies to the Japanese troops into the mountains.

    The reply from the base camp to Juichi Terauchi was that in view of the strong strength of the ** Division¡¯s aviation force, in order to avoid heavy losses to the aviation units of the Empire¡¯s Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, which would affect the Empire¡¯s overall strategic plan in Southeast Asia, they had to terminate their support for your department.  Air supply, I hope you will carry forward the spirit of Bushido, overcome all difficulties, and go out into the wild and into the mountains.

    In a word, life and death are determined, and whether you can live or not, smelling the air in northern Myanmar depends on your luck. The telegram from the base camp was torn into pieces by Touichi Terauchi. From this moment on, Touichi Terauchi felt,  He and more than 200,000 imperial soldiers had become the outcasts of the empire and were in a state of self-destruction. For the sake of the empire's Southeast Asia strategy, they were abandoned in the wild and wild mountains.

    "The few materials and supplies that the Japanese transport planes dropped by chance, braving the artillery fire of the Japanese Air Force's fighter jets, were nothing compared to the more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers. It was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

    Therefore, the majestic General of the Imperial Japanese Army, His Excellency Juichi Terauchi, had no choice but to eat the wild vegetables that his subordinates worked hard to get to fill his hungry belly. When it rained, he could only squat in a crowded and damp tent.  , soaked like a chicken, racking his brains to think about how to defeat Noiryama.The only enemy entry.

    He did not expect that Tang Qiuli had sent the most elite Chu Yao special warfare detachment to pursue him and his Imperial Japanese Army soldiers to death.
