Chapter 84 The War of Destruction

Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/        Myanmar, Meng Dong.

The Southwest Army led by Zuo Zongtang has quietly entered Myanmar from Chiang Rai, North Vietnam. The British have occupied most of the Myanmar territory under the continuous destruction of two colonial divisions. However, their power has not yet expanded to the China-Myanmar border, so Zuo Zongtang has led a large army into Mengdong and the British are not aware of it.

Zuo Zongtang took a map of the dilapidated Myanmar and looked at it carefully. Due to the defeat in front of him, many Myanmar troops were retreating. The firepower configuration was quite clear about the deployment of the British. The two colonial divisions entering Myanmar this time were composed of the First Field Division of the Far East Army and the 18th Army of the Indian Colonial Vassal Army. The total number was nearly 50,000. In the past few months, the British have also incorporated many Myanmar bandits and formed another colonial division. So in Myanmar,

The current British troops have reached nearly 80,000. However, in addition to the strong combat effectiveness of a reorganized field division of the Royal Army, the 18th Army, mainly composed of Indians, may not be as good as the combat effectiveness of the 400,000 troops formed by Daqingxin. The combat effectiveness of the colonial division composed of Myanmar bandits is probably not even a second-rate. Although it is equipped with British weapons, it lacks training and poor discipline. The characteristics of poor discipline are destined to be a soft persimmon that everyone bullies.

"Liu Yongfu, as the vanguard of the army, you attacked by Meng Dong to Yangon. The British supplies all came ashore from Yangon. We detoured from the southeast to the northwest. The new army would detour from Ruili to the northeast to the southwest, trapping all the British in Myanmar and cutting off their supply line!" Zuo Zongtang pointed to the map and said leisurely.

Nie Shicheng frowned and said, "Master, Yangon's port fortress is outdated. Even if we capture this place, we cannot resist the bombardment of the British fleet. If we cannot defend it for the time being, we may suffer a lot of casualties. When the British attacked Myanmar, the Myanmar army only defended for four hours and declared it lost."

"The deep foot in Myanmar can keep our army away from the range of British ships. The materials he transports must be sent through our encirclement. If you can't even block the British transport team, then you will go home to carry the children sooner or later, don't embarrass me here." Zuo Zongtang touched his long beard and continued: "Besides, my Qing Dynasty navy has also gone south to open up the life channel between the South China Sea and the Indian Ocean. If you see our Qing Dynasty warship in Yangon, then the war will basically end."

Since Liu Yongfu's black chess army was incorporated by the court, it has been systematic and formally trained. Although its combat effectiveness is not as good as the rest of the army, it has improved significantly compared to before. Moreover, this army responds faster when encountering special circumstances. After all, its main generals are all struggling from blood and have very rich practical experience. Often this combat experience can play a decisive role in the battlefield. Therefore, Zuo Zongtang decided to let Liu Yongfu be the vanguard of the entire army.

On the other hand, the new army Feng Zicai's troops entered Myanmar from Ruili. This place is almost the same as the terrain of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, with high mountains and ridges. Sometimes there are some basins called "bazi" and are where people live.

When Feng Zicai entered Myanmar, he had already contacted the Myanmar anti-British rebel army as the guide of the army. However, the British army has recently increased its anti-British rebel army against Myanmar, and several rebel armies were beaten to pieces. When Feng Zicai crossed the mountains, he had already lost contact with them. After three days of entering Myanmar, Feng Zicai was still wandering around the Kumenling Mountains, and there were still many uninhabited places in the deep mountains and forests of Myanmar. When he entered Myanmar, he specifically picked up the uninhabited place for the hiddenness of the army, and now it is difficult to find a village to establish coordinates. Although Feng Zicai's troops brought more than ten days of military food and grass and seven-day dry food each person carried, ammunition could also support three to five consecutive days of battle. However, not leaving this deep mountains and forest for three consecutive days made Feng Zicai angry.

"Military Gate, what kind of ghost place does not shit? There is no one, why are you still wandering around in the same place for three days?" A personal soldier wiped the big man with his head complaining.

"Fuck it

Chaos is reborn as the king of another world http://www.77nt/23488/, and now he has lost contact with the country. This is a terrible radio station. Don’t expect domestic supplies in a short period of time. Now the most urgent task is to find a place with people, determine your location, clarify the surrounding environment, and then contact the country." Feng Zicai is a veteran general who has experienced many battles. Although he is irritated, he can still adjust his best choice in time.

Just as the Qing Dynasty entered Myanmar, the British were filled with optimism and anger. The editorial of the London Tays wrote: "As long as there is no accident on the Sino-Myanmar border, the victory of this war is a foregone conclusion." Driven by the idea that the war will end soon, the British Expeditionary Force has devoted its energy to how to avoid the backlog of military supplies in Myanmar. Lieutenant General Wallace, the commander of the Expeditionary Force, was at his headquarters in the Mandalay Palace.

China issued an order to "removal of all restrictions" and "launch the last attack with all its might", and the Expeditionary Force Command also began to "arrange the actions after the reduction of war, so that British soldiers could withdraw from Myanmar first." In their opinion, Myanmar only has the life to maintain public order, and these colonial soldiers can do it. The Indian colonial government also notified Lieutenant General Barclays that they would stop transporting supplementary personnel to Myanmar, and Lieutenant General Wallace did not object to this.

Major General Marceau, the 18th Army of the Indian Colonial Army, told Lieutenant General Wallace that his ammunition was more than enough. All ammunition and equipment transported from India could be transported back to India. All orders for ammunition in Britain could be stopped because the war was about to end.

When the British Expeditionary Force logistics personnel distributed Christmas gift price lists to British soldiers in Myanmar, many soldiers threw the price list, thinking that Christmas is absurd in Myanmar.

The British army has not suffered a great defeat for more than a hundred years, and they are not worried about the possibility of China's intervention in the war. "How dare that uncivilized country challenge the British Empire?" The British's stubborn arrogance is fully reflected at this moment.

The British generals and the United Kingdom did not expect China to intervene in the war. Afterwards, Lieutenant General Barclay, the commander of the British Expeditionary Force, said: "Although the country has always reminded me that China may intervene in the war, we think we know everything, but in fact we don't know anything. However, the other party knows everything. So the war began."

"Bang, bang..." The deafening gunshots and fighting echoed in the deep mountains.

"Where to shoot? Where to shoot?" Feng Zicai asked loudly.

"The military gate, the sound should be that there is gunfire in the direction of Li Biao's troops." A personal soldier replied after thinking.

"Quickly, let the correspondents go and get the situation clear and repay me."

"twitter."

In a small valley in Kumenling, a Burmese army with bows and arrows and scimitars were fighting against the British army with all the Maar rifles. The red uniform seemed particularly dazzling. Although the Burmese army had an absolute advantage in the number of people, the situation seemed to be very unfavorable to them. The British army had surrounded the Burmese from both ends of the valley.

The Burmese people rushed towards the British army surrounding them very bravely, hoping to break through the British army's encirclement.

The British army was divided into two rows, kneeling on the ground with one knee in the front row, and the rear row held a rifle flat. The Burmese tried hard to rush over, but the British neat infantry accurately shot the Burmese in vain and suffered casualties. Many Burmese had fallen 100 meters in front of the valley entrance.

"Reporting to the military gate, Li Biaotong's return. It was because the British troops had been in a state of confrontation with the Burmese, but the cold weapons used by the Burmese could not resist the British army. Li Biaotong asked if there were any reinforcements."

"Okay, tell Li Kuan that the army entered Burma was extremely hidden. It cannot be leaked in advance. All British troops were wiped out. No one could be let go, otherwise I would have to ask for his head." Feng Zicai said kindly.

"twitter."

After a fierce battle for the whole afternoon, the Burmese people were finally reborn with Li Kuan's troops. Because of these Burmese people, Feng Zicai's army was finally able to leave the hateful deep mountains and forests.

But the disappearance of this small British force aroused suspicion from the British.

"What? The Third Battalion has not come back yet? What's going on? Have you sent someone to the cleaning war zone they are responsible for to check?" Colonel Mosen, the commander of the 386th Regiment of the 2nd Brigade of the 1st Field Division of the Royal Far East Army, looked at his intelligence counselor in surprise.

I have sent people to it, and found traces of fierce fighting in the Sawan Mountains generation. I believe they should have been missing there. We did not find the soldiers' bodies nearby, but we found some strange things, which is this." Intelligence counselor Major Henry took out several shells from his shirt pocket. "This is the bullet of the American Li Yi gun, which is lighter than Marr's bullet."

Colonel Mosen frowned and took the shell from Major Henry, stood up and said, "How could these natives have American rifles? Are Americans secretly supporting these natives against the British Empire?"

Major Henry asked Colonel Mosen and said, "We have never seen the natives here use it before. They only have some Marls that have been taken from us. In fact, it is not only Americans in the world who use the Li Yi gun. The Chinese also have such rifles."

Mosen suddenly turned around and looked at Major Henry and said, "Do you mean the Chinese sent troops?"

Major Henry said with a blank expression: "There is no possibility of this."

"This is ridiculous. Now I have missed the best time to join the war. If they sent troops before the Battle of Bagan, maybe we have not yet taken Mandalay. And the Chinese are confronting the Russians in the north, where do they have the courage to challenge the two world powers at the same time?" Colonel Mosen shook his head like a rattle.

Major Henry suggested at this time: "I think we should report this to the headquarters."

Mosen shook his finger and said, "Is it just these few shells? Maybe China supports those natives? If we report it like this, we will be ridiculed as ignorant. It is better to have detailed information before reporting it."

"Yes." Henry's heart was outward, a standard attentive.
