    At this time, Wang Maoru was discussing with the Chief of Defense Staff Sa Zhenbing, Deputy Chief of Defense Jiang Fangzhen, Chief of Staff Wu Peifu, Deputy Chief of Staff Ren Yuanxing and He Anding at the Ministry of National Defense, because Xiao Yaonan had entered Myanmar from a small road and had arrived at Gunong Town (Gunong, located in Myanmar)  A small town on the border with China, nearly half of the town is Wa and Dai people, the rest are Bamar people, and a small part are Indians).

    Can't beat the town?  Rolling around means declaring war on Britain. If we don't fight, the army will already be outflanking it, so why wait?

    Wang Maoru¡¯s attitude towards Gunong Town was to fight and annihilate it, catching the British by surprise, and blocking the news so that the British had no idea.  This is consistent with the thinking of the Ministry of National Defense. At the same time, the experienced Chief of Defense Staff Sa Zhenbing suggested: "Since the army has entered Myanmar, in order to avoid trouble, I have ordered them to take off China's five-color military emblem and flag after entering Myanmar."

    ¡°Ginger is still spicier when it¡¯s old.¡± Wang Maoru extended his thumb and smiled.

    Chief of Staff Wu Peifu added: "After attacking Gunong, we must make up our minds whether to annihilate the British. This time is different from Kashmir and Tibet. Tibet and Kashmir have been recognized by the world as Chinese territory since the Qing Dynasty.  , but our troops are now in Myanmar."

    "Don't fight?" Wang Maoru shook his head and said, "We have to fight, and we can't wait at all. Once the British react, it's not them who are being attacked from both sides, but us."

    Ren Yuanxing nodded and said: "The president is right, this battle must be fought quickly and the British army must be annihilated in one fell swoop."

    "So let them outflank them quickly and eliminate the gunnong defenders as soon as possible. Then immediately withdraw to Cangyuan, Yunnan." Wang Maoru said with a smile, and then said: "By the way. Aren't the Burmese people always resisting the British? In this way,  We will give the credit for occupying Gunong to the Burmese Revolutionary Army, and the army that outflanked Ban Hong was our squadron."

    "Myanmar's rejuvenation?" Wu Peifu was surprised, "Where did the Burmese resumption come from?"

    Wang Maoru laughed loudly and said: "No, we will build one, send a secret message to Xiao Yaonan, and recruit Burmese people. All the supplies we seized except money and important information will be used as a 'Burmese revenge weapon'. The British will give  If we are looking for trouble, let¡¯s make trouble for them first. Let¡¯s throw a monkey into Princess Iron Fan¡¯s belly and let them cry. If we offend the Chinese, let¡¯s play some tricks with them.¡±

    "Yes." Wu Peifu said.

    Sa Zhenbing added: "After the war, we can have something to say, let's say that we captured the bandit armed forces in Yunnan. The bandit armed forces attacked our Wa and Dai ethnic villages, killing many people, and they have been wiped out."

    Wang Maoru laughed loudly and said: "Ming Gong has also learned to be cunning."

    The next day, Xiao Yaonan reported an incident to the Ministry of National Defense in a confidential telegram, which made the Ministry of National Defense laugh. When the 257th and 258th regiments of the 3rd Mountain Division's outflanking troops had just surrounded Gunong.  Ronongcheng immediately raised the white flag without hesitation.  Seeing the white flag raised in Gunong City, Xiao Yaonan was slightly surprised, so he sent two soldiers in to investigate in case there was a fraud.

    As soon as the two Chinese soldiers arrived at the gate of the town, they heard gunfire and shouts of killing inside. They immediately retreated and reported to Xiao Yaonan.  Xiao Yaonan was puzzled.  Is this enemy a suspicion formation?

    After half an hour, the door opened.  A group of indigenous Burmese soldiers wearing British military uniforms lined up with guns raised and surrendered.

    Xiao Yaonan cautiously ordered the first battalion and two companies of the 257th Regiment to accept the surrender. After the two teams of soldiers collected all the guns, they searched the gunong and found no ambush inside.  At this time, Xiao Yaonan ordered the troops to occupy Gunong directly. After questioning, he found out that this was what happened inside.

    The current prisoners are all British Burmese soldiers - these Burmese people are not willing to sacrifice their lives for the British. They have long hated the British.

    In 1886, the British completely occupied Myanmar through three Anglo-Burmese wars and listed Myanmar as the Burmese Province of British India. King Xipao of Myanmar was exiled to India, and he and his children were imprisoned until death.  Subsequently, the British immigrated a large number of Indians to Burma. These Indians did not express sympathy for the destruction of Burma. Instead, they bullied the new slaves like old slaves, helped the British persecute the Burmese people, and massacred the guerrillas composed of Burmese people.  Therefore, in Burma, most of the soldiers were Indian soldiers, and only a small number of Burmese were forcibly recruited as soldiers.

    After the Indian soldiers and Burmese soldiers stationed in Gunong were surrounded, they learned that the Chinese army had entered. The Burmese soldiers immediately shot the Indian soldiers in the back. At the same time, the Burmese in Gunong also began to kill the Indians in the city -  This is like the Indonesians persecuting the Chinese under the notice of the Dutch - before Xiao Yaonan's mountain troops entered Gunong City, most of the Indian soldiers were killed by the angry Burmese, and all the Indian people in the city were also killed by the Burmese soldiers.  The act of killing Indian soldiers was so exciting that the Burmese people, full of hatred, immediately harassed the Indian people.??Kill them all.  This is why when two soldiers came to visit, they suddenly heard the sound of killing and gunshots coming from inside.

    There were several Yunnan soldiers of the Wa ethnic group in the 3rd Mountain Division. They took the initiative to ask questions to the locals. Through communication, they learned the cause and effect, and reported it to Xiao Yaonan. Xiao Yaonan smiled bitterly and said: "Damn it, now Liang Zi is in trouble."  Big.¡±

    Twelve Indian soldiers were collectively shot, and forty-one ordinary Indians were killed in the city, including women, children, adults, men, and elderly people. It is estimated that these Burmese people were not interested in dark-skinned Indian women, so they just chopped them off with knives.  Death is not an insult.

    Xiao Yaonan ordered the burning of the bodies of Indians and Indian soldiers, then summoned everyone in Gunong City and asked them to keep it secret and hand over all captured weapons to the Burmese.  That night, Xiao Yaonan received another request from the Ministry of National Defense to leave a force to form the Burmese Revolutionary Army, and to hand over the credit for the attack on Gunong City to the Burmese Revolutionary Army.  Xiao Yaonan took the secret message from the Ministry of National Defense and said to Hong Linge, the leader of the 257th Regiment, and Wang Changhai, the leader of the 258th Regiment: "The higher-ups are worrying too much. This was not won by us in the first place, and we will not take the credit."

    Hong Linge and Wang Changhai laughed endlessly. The three of them discussed it and left a squad of soldiers to change their military uniforms and wear local clothes to organize the "Myanmar Restoration".

    The soldiers in this class are very depressed. The regular army has become a guerrilla. Who would be happy to replace it?  But orders are orders, so these eleven men began to recruit local young people to form a guerrilla army.  The locals were very enthusiastic, probably because they were bullied miserably by the British, coupled with the enthusiasm of the young people in Myanmar and the support of China, they recruited fifty-seven people in one morning.  Fifty-seven Burmese young people and 11 Chinese soldiers formed the so-called Burmese Revolutionary Army and began to attack on all sides.

    And in the morning of the same day, Xiao Yaonan had already assembled his team and started heading northeast to Banhong.  When passing the border checkpoint, the camouflage uniforms of the Chinese ** team played a very good concealment role. The soldiers found that although their military uniforms looked "disgusting", just like the skin of a toad, the concealment effect was really good.  good.

    The seventh platoon of the 3rd Battalion sent by the 258th Regiment sneaked up and knocked down the burning card composed of twelve Indians and one British man.  The people inside had no idea that an army would attack them from behind. Even the short Yunnan soldiers in the seventh row were able to kill the British and their lackeys inside with only bayonets.

    The British are sleeping, and the Indian lackeys are cooking potato curry and enjoying themselves

    When Xiao Yaonan arrived with a large force, he looked at the thirteen prisoners sitting on the ground, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "But even so, the British have nothing to fear."

    "Despicable! Despicable!" the only British soldier protested loudly.

    Xiao Yaonan didn¡¯t understand English, so he asked his adjutant what the boy was talking about. His adjutant graduated from Yakeshi Army Academy and couldn¡¯t understand either, so he guessed, ¡°I¡¯m probably scolding you.¡±

    "I'm from his grandmother." Xiao Yaonan said angrily, "Give them all to me"

    "Take a seat, take a seat." Liu Bin, commander of the third battalion of the 258th Regiment, ran over with a smile and shouted, "There is something good."

    "what?"

    Liu Bin waved his hand and said with his pocket: "Just now, two of my guys from Guizhou went to poop, and they almost died because they stepped on a snake nest. Fortunately, these two people were born in the mountains and knew how to catch snakes, so they caught them."  More than twenty snakes. All venomous snakes!" he emphasized.

    When Xiao Yaonan heard this, he suddenly thought of an idea. He smiled maliciously and looked at the British and Indians, and said, "You said if we let them go, will anyone know that we went back to China from Burma?"

    Wang Changhai, the leader of the 258th Regiment, immediately advised: "You can't let go of the seat. If you make a mistake, the result will be serious."

    Xiao Yaonan smiled and said: "I have a better way, we don't need to take action."

    "what way?"

    Xiao Yaonan pointed at the snake bag, then at the prisoners, and smiled evilly.  Liu Changhai and Hong Linge immediately shuddered. This method was too abnormal.

    But five minutes later, screams echoed through the sky.

    Xiao Yaonan and other Chinese officials said with emotion: "It is really unfortunate that the border post was attacked by a poisonous snake! I deeply regret what happened to the British side."

    This is not done by the Chinese, this is not done by the Chinese

    After dealing with the prisoners, the second team of the 3rd Mountain Division continued to set off, with the third battalion of the 258th Regiment as the forward, and quickly penetrated into the Banhong area.

    The army passed through Yonglao, Yongchang, and Bangao Village overnight. These places were deserted, and they were all driven away by the British. However, when they were going to Jiajia, a group of people suddenly sprang out from the grass on the roadside.  The soldiers of the third battalion almost opened fireHe was shooting, but he saw the crowd rushing out waving the Yellow Dragon flag¡ª¡ªfuck me, it was the Qing flag¡ª¡ªrunning over.  It turned out that these people were villagers who hid in the mountains when the nearby villages were driven out by the British.

    Liu Bin, commander of the third battalion, was immediately horrified and said: "Has the secret of our march been leaked?"
