Although this dam was huge in size, it could not accumulate 50,000 troops. Feng Zicai still left the large army in the valley of Kumenling and took a group of people to garrison.

At this time, Feng Zicai was sitting in a spacious bamboo building. Opposite was an old man with a kind and majestic expression. He was pulling a young man with a shirtless upper body, long-tied pants on the lower body, and a red cloth wrapped his head in red cloth, saying, "Thank you for saving my son. The firearms of those foreigners are very powerful. Our tribe members have been defeated in them several times. Now you are here."

Feng Zicai originally thought it was the Burmese army, but it turned out to be a militia from a small mountain village!

Feng Zicai exchanged a few greetings and asked, "The most urgent task now is to collect information from Myitkyina to see how many British troops are there and how to deploy defenses? Only by taking it down can the British troops not dare to go deeper here, and the village on the back can be saved." Feng Zicai took out a map and pointed it at the old man to see it.

The old man saw the location clearly and said, "No problem, there are many Allahs there, and there will be news within three days."

Three days later, Feng Zicai, who was stationed in Sawan Village, indeed received detailed information from Myitkyina. Myitkyina is located downstream of the confluence of the two branches of the Irrawaddy River, the Enmeikai River and the Mailkai River. It not only produces fragrant rice, but also jadeite. Myitkyina is the main jadeite production in the world, and Myitkyina is the main jadeite production in Myitkyina. The jadeite produced here is as crystal clear as spring water, spiritual and moist as well as "imperial jade".

As the only important town in northern Myanmar, it supports almost all the economy of northern Myanmar. The mountain people living in the mountainous areas have been transporting specialties from the mountains here on bamboo rafts for thousands of years, and then replaced them with the salt and iron they need. The river valley near Myanmar is also the most densely populated place in the mountainous areas in northern Myanmar. With this, the British army's power can radiate to the mountainous areas in northern Myanmar, so there have been thousands of British guards here for a long time.

However, the long-term safety made these British soldiers look a little lazy. The British soldiers responsible for patrol and standing guard were simply a warning. In their opinion, those Burmese mountaineer dared to attack the squads that they went out to sweep and would never dare to attack the city with strong fortifications. This should have been a correct analysis, but it was unexpectedly changed because of China's participation in the war.

The 386th Regiment of the Royal Far East Army stationed here was the British Royal Far East Army. Because the Third Battalion, which had been performing a cleanup mission before, disappeared mysteriously. The regiment commander Mosen had ordered the remaining First and Second Battalions to recover and defend Myitkyina.

After getting the exact news, Feng Zicai took the three-branded horse to Myitkyina. The British army there should have smelled some smell and adopted a comprehensive contraction.

Feng Zicai didn't see the troops of the level zero god http://www.77nt/19181/Battle of the battalions. Even if the 385th Regiment of the Royal Field Division, not far from Myitkyina, arrived, he believed that his third-tier troops could still be eaten in one bite.

The mountainous areas in northern Myanmar are almost a continuation of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. You can often see river valleys that are thousands of feet deep, and it is very difficult to transport heavy weapons here. It is difficult to avoid the long nights and dreams, which made the British army discover the news of the Qing Dynasty's troops. Feng Zicai gave up the camp artillery, Haqikas, and other heavy equipment, and led all the infantry to run south. At this time, the results of the troops' early mountain cross-country training were revealed. In the wet and hot rainforests and steep mountains, soldiers could still walk as fast as they could, prevent mosquitoes and fevers. Under such circumstances, Feng Zicai's two-target team ran 100 miles in two days, and surrounded Myitkyina before the British army found that the situation was not good.

Feng Zicai brought one of his sets of guns. Although it was difficult to transport guns in the valley, the latest equipment mortars were very easy to carry, and all of them were brought with them more than 500.

At night, it was pitch black, and the Myitkyina, surrounded by mountains and rivers, was like a wild beast, lying there quietly. The stars hid in the clouds in a coordinated manner, making the surroundings look dark and unclear.

Feng Zicai's gun flag has set up artillery elements 1 kilometer away, and 500 mortars fired at the same time. I believe that there is no need for several rounds of gunfire, and the seemingly solid city gates and towers of Myitkyina will be full of holes.

"Boom, boom..."

After 10 minutes of continuous bombing, a large hole was blasted out of the city gate. There were also large holes two or three meters wide in the city tower. The artillery fire had just stopped. At almost the same time, Feng Zicai's two army troops rushed into the city together.

For a moment, it seemed that there were fires everywhere in Myitkyina. When Mosen woke up from his sleep, Feng Zicai had already led his army into the city and was following the streets to fight towards the British barracks.

"What happened? Was it the Burmese riot in the city?"

"I'm afraid not, your lord. The enemy rushed in from outside the city, and the city gate was seriously bombarded."

"Those natives have artillery?"

"I'm afraid it's not the natives. They seem to be speaking Chinese. The infantry rushed in are also very firepower and the rifle shooting is very accurate."

Colonel Mosen felt a little sweat on his forehead at this time. Could it be that the Chinese really participated in the war? God, could they be crazy?

"Retract all the troops in the city immediately and hold the camp and wait for the arrival of reinforcements." According to military common sense, it was understandable that Colonel Mosen did this, because he judged from the density of gunfire that the number of enemies would exceed them. If he broke through rashly, he would probably be swallowed by the enemy during the mobile battlefield. Now he could only hope that the 385th Regiment, not far from Myitkyina, could arrive as soon as possible. However, at the critical moment, Mosen mistakenly estimated the combat effectiveness of the Qing army surrounding them, and even the city tower with solid fortifications would instantly be destroyed under the 10-minute shelling, let alone a small military camp.

Feng Zicai did not even organize an army to charge, but just let the cannon marks at the opponent's camp and bombard the other party's camp. It was cooked into a pot of bloody steel man meat soup. This time the troops were 10:1. With strong firepower support, Feng Zicai wiped out the two battalions of the Myitkyina guards in just three hours and recaptured this important city in the north from the British.

The speed was so fast that there was not even time for rescue in the 385th Regiment 50 miles away. By the time the 385th Regiment arrived, the dragon flag was already hanging on the Myitkyina city tower!!

This is just a microcosm of the first phase of the Qing army's battle. The British army did not expect that China would suddenly join the war, but was caught off guard. On the eastern Shan State Plateau, Liu Yongfu wiped out two British Indian Division regiments and defeated another regiment. He restored two major cities on the Shan State Plateau, Lashio and Jingdong. The British finally established their territorial forces here and were severely damaged.

Intelligence that the regiments suffered heavy blows was spread to the Expeditionary Force headquarters in Mandalay, saying that their troops had contacted the squadron, and concluded that "a new pair has undoubtedly joined the war."

Lieutenant General Wallace didn't believe it at first. He even thought that those regiments lied about military information because of the news sent from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. China should be in Mongolia, Xinjiang and Russia at this time. There is no time to take into account the war in Myanmar!!

However, after Guan Xuqing's oral statement, a condemnation letter written by Li Hongzhang appeared on his behalf in the office of the British Consulate in China. Wallace believed that China really participated in the war! This terrifying army that once captured more than 30,000 French soldiers had entered the emerald green land of Myanmar under his nose.

"Myanmar is a vassal of the Qing Dynasty. It has been more than 200 years and has been promoted to tribute every year. It is known to all the Chinese and foreign countries. In the past decade, there have been many civil strife in the country. The court's name is Xiaowei, and Diezi sent troops to make a decision. Now the British sent troops to occupy Myanmar without reason. The country did not abide by the treaties, did not abide by the public law, and he acted at will, and he acted as a trick. The public opinion was obvious. He used special notices to the world and let Xiaoran handle this matter in the court. In fact, the British and Chongqing Alliance were in trouble, and it was unreasonable and it was difficult to be with a noble family. Zuo Zongtang ordered the dispatch of various troops to quickly attack and gathered the heroic troops to advance one after another to save the Burmese people from the disaster. This envoy was hereby informed, and I admired this! Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty." User.
