In October of the eighth year of the Chinese calendar, the rainy season on the Indochina Peninsula has gone, and the weather has become relatively cooler. In the early morning of October 5, more than 100,000 Burmese troops were divided into two groups, north and south, and marched towards the country of Myanmar from Meng Liang and Meng Dinh respectively.
, traveling with them were still 20,000 so-called protectors of the Republic of Myanmar.
Although the so-called protectors have a loud name, they are actually the leading party. These people were selected from Myanmar refugees. They have not received military training and have not been issued too much military equipment. Their role is
He served as a guide for the Burmese army.
But don’t underestimate these refugees. These people were trapped in the Republic of China due to war or oppression by the powerful. They have a natural hatred for the people in power in Myanmar. Many people even harbor hatred for the rich and hate the powerful landlords.
Before the Burma Army sent troops, these people were discussing in private how to kill the rich and steal their wealth.
With an army of 20,000 refugees who looked like hungry wolves, the Burmese Army was much more relaxed during the war. The Burmese Army was only responsible for attacking the local armed forces. As for burning, killing and looting, all the dirty work was left to them.
Let the so-called protectors take care of it. Anyway, the protectors just passed the thing and robbed it. Sooner or later they will have to spit it out.
This expedition to Burma was at the "invitation" of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Burma. Naturally, the confidentiality work was not done, and we marched directly and openly. Because the northwest of Burma is a plateau landform, it is called Upper Burma, with high mountains, dense forests and rivers.
Floods were everywhere, and poisonous snakes and beasts could be seen everywhere, which brought great difficulties to the march.
Fortunately, the main force of the Burmese Army is drawn from veterans of the Southwest and Southeast Military Regions. These soldiers have been fighting in mountainous areas for a long time. They are able to endure hardships and stand hard work. They can also explode with tenacious combat effectiveness even in extreme environments. They have fought in Taiwan Island.
Annan, Northern Kyushu, Luzon and other regions are iron armies tempered by blood and fire.
Not only the quality of the soldiers, the equipment of the Burmese Army is also the most sophisticated. Each battalion-level unit of the Northern Route Army is equipped with a sniper company and a reconnaissance company, and even two units consisting of ten motorcycles, a transport vehicle and
A mechanized infantry company composed of an ambulance is terrifying in terms of firepower and mobility.
In addition, the Northern Route Army also has twelve engineering battalions. They not only have large crawler bulldozers used to open roads, but also bridge erecting vehicles used to build bridges. In short, they are the masters of cutting mountains and rivers and building bridges. Such maneuverability
With an efficient engineering battalion deployed, not only can large units advance quickly, but subsequent military supplies can be transported in a timely manner.
Equipped with a variety of specialized machinery, the North Route Army can advance smoothly and quickly even when fighting in high mountains and valleys. The North Route Army advanced forty kilometers on the first day alone, approaching the fortress in northern Myanmar... Tianmaguan Pass.
.
Tianma Pass is a dangerous pass under the control of the Ava Dynasty entrenched in northern Myanmar. It is also the most important pass defense fortress in Ava City, the capital of the Ava Dynasty. In order to prevent the Peking Army from advancing westward, the Ava Dynasty built a tall pass in Tianma Pass.
There are nearly 40,000 troops stationed in Guancheng, and the defense is very tight.
Of course, such a Guancheng can also block the general cold weapon army. For the torrent of steel like the Burmese Army, no matter how tall the Guancheng is, it is paper. The Northern Route Army of the Burmese Army waited outside the Guancheng all night.
The two sides had small fights and did not attack the city on a large scale.
However, this situation only lasted until the next day. In the early morning of October 6th, the guards in Tianma Pass were still sleeping. The rumbling sound of artillery resounded through the sky like thunder. Countless cannonballs seemed to have eyes, almost
They all fell onto the city wall, scattering flowers in all directions on the stone wall. The rubble flew in all directions. The defenders on the wall were either blown away or killed and injured by the rocks. It was so tragic.
After just a few rounds of bombardment, a long crack was opened in the thick stone wall. The defenders in Guancheng had never seen such fierce firepower, and they were frightened, like chickens that had their nest exploded.
They fled in all directions, and the entire Guancheng was captured. And with the fall of Tianma Pass, the capital of the Ava Dynasty would be undefendable, and it was only a matter of time before it was captured.
The North Route Army attacked the city all the way, and the South Route Army was not willing to lag behind. Unlike the North Route Army, which was advancing steadily step by step, the South Route Army was all cavalry troops, and they all went into battle lightly. They only brought dry food such as compressed biscuits and marched along the South Route Army.
The secret that controls the country's borders
Marching secretly in the forest, they quickly crossed the plateau area and had several encounters with the army of the Toungoo Kingdom entrenched in northern Lower Burma. They all wiped out all the enemies who stood in their way. They were invincible along the way and soon killed nearby Toungoo.
Taungoo City, the capital of the country.
When the Burmese army was winning, on October 15th, the fourth fleet sent by the navy also entered the southern waters of Myanmar and sent marines ashore to attack the Baigu Dynasty entrenched in Lower Myanmar, directly threatening the Baigu Dynasty.
The capital of Baigucheng.
The Peiping Army mobilized both land and sea, with troops on all sides. Burma was greatly shaken, and the Awa, Toungoo and Baigu dynasties were even beaten to a point of confusion. Even the Peking Army did not know how many groups it came in and how many came there.
.Lack of understanding of the military situation makes these countries even more panicked and pessimistic and desperate.
On October 19, a cavalry force of 10,000 people from the Southern Route Army arrived at Dongyu City. However, they did not attack the city. Instead, they quickly went south, bypassing many large cities that were closed for defense. It only took three days to arrive directly.
In the southern gulf of Myanmar, they reunited with the Fourth Fleet and obtained a large number of armored machinery and even tanks.
This cavalry team of ten thousand people dismounted and rode on motorcycles, tanks and personnel carriers, pulling hundreds of cannons, and headed north again. They attacked the city all the way until they reached Baigu City. On October 25, this newly-equipped cavalry team
The troops and the subsequent cavalry units of the Southern Route Army met outside Baigu City, completing the encirclement of Baigu City.
At the same time, the Northern Route Army also crossed high mountains and rapids, opened roads and built bridges along the way, and fought for the camp step by step outside the city of Ava, achieving the encirclement of the two big countries entrenched in Upper and Lower Myanmar. With the two troops of Baigu and Ava
As the big dynasties were defeated one after another, some small countries and city-states that were usually attached to these two dynasties changed their gates one after another, and more of them opened their doors directly to welcome the surrender.
On the first day of November, after many attempts to persuade the city to surrender failed, the Southern Route Army began to attack Bai Gucheng. The artillery bombardment continued for five days, directly bombing the ancient Buddhist city into ruins, and tens of thousands of residents were killed in the bombardment.
The reason why the bombing was so severe was not only to intimidate, but also to eliminate the Burmese culture from the roots. You must know that Burma is close to India and is deeply influenced by Buddhism. From the king to the people, everyone believes in Buddhism. It can be said that
A Buddhist country is incompatible with the Republic of China, which advocates Taoism and science. If Buddhism is not uprooted, it will not be conducive to the introduction of the dream of Great China.
When the South Route Army was bombarding Baigu City, the North Route Army was also concentrating firepower outside Ava City for the most violent bombardment. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Ava King led nearly 10,000 troops to abandon the city and break out, and fled into the mountains.
, Ava City had no defenders. On that day, the commander of the Northern Route Army ordered all the residents and the gold and silver treasures in the city to be moved out of the city, and then set fire to the city. Another Buddhist capital fell into the sea of fire.
The Burmese army burned most of the capital, and the Burmese Guardsmen who accompanied the army were unwilling to do so, and began to burn, kill, and loot Tianyan. Since all dynasties in Myanmar are Shan people, they implemented racial discrimination policies against other ethnic groups in Myanmar.
Moreover, the majority of the Mon and Bamar people were persecuted. How could they let go of this opportunity for revenge? A series of ethnic cleansing operations were carried out in private.
Because of ethnic vendetta, a large number of Burmese people were killed, and a large number of noble landowners were exterminated. In short, the country of Burma was bleeding and the population dropped sharply. Wan Lei was secretly happy about this, but in order to create Wei Guangzheng's "Great China Dream"
"On November 11, he issued a special presidential decree strictly prohibiting Burmese people from killing each other, and also strictly ordered the Burmese army to play a peacekeeping role and prevent the massacre from happening.
Of course, orders are orders, but execution is another matter. Starting from the end of October, the massacre continued until mid-December. Towns and cities were robbed and burned down. Even Buddhist temples were not spared, and the giant Buddha was torn down.
, all kinds of Buddhist utensils and Buddhist books were looted.
On December 16, the remnants of the Ava army who fled deep in the mountains and forests were surrounded and annihilated. The King of Ava and his trusted ministers were captured. The upper Burma area was cleared and there was no resistance. The Lower Burma area also followed the fall of Baigu City and Baigu.
With the fall of the dynasty, the spirit of resistance was lost, and all the city-states, large and small, surrendered.
The so-called wall fell down and everyone pushed it down, and the drums were broken and beaten by thousands of people. When the Nanzhang Kingdom and Siam Kingdom, which bordered Burma, saw that Burma was in chaos, they also took the opportunity to add insult to injury and sent troops westward to plunder.
Of course, the Nanzhang Kingdom and the Siam Kingdom are just stealing property secretly. They are self-aware and do not dare to occupy the territory of Myanmar because they all know that Myanmar is the protector of the Republic of China. Lend them 10,000 courage
, and dare not blatantly seize food from the tiger's mouth.
On December 24, the Northern Route Army of the Burmese Army entered the mountains of northern Myanmar and occupied many fortresses and important towns in the border areas with India. The South Route Army also moved south and invaded the Kingdom of Malacca located on the narrow northern shore of the Malacca Sea.
At the same time, the Fourth Fleet also cooperated with the action, and a large number of warships were deployed across the Strait of Malacca.
Facing the surging army, the King of Malacca, Siribal Sora, was unable to resist, so he had to ask for help from the northern suzerain kingdom Siam. Siam was also overwhelmed by the power of the Peiping Army. Not only did it not dare to send troops to rescue, it also took the initiative to withdraw its troops.
Withdraw from the Malacca Peninsula and directly cede that territory to avoid territorial disputes with the Republic of China.
After two months of fighting, the Burma Army not only occupied the entire territory of Myanmar, but also conquered the entire Malacca Peninsula. On December 25, Wan Lei met with Dao Shimin, President of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Myanmar in Huayuan to discuss the Republic of Myanmar.
Among the matters concerning the founding of the country, the most important issue is the division of territory.
According to Wan Lei's plan, both upper and lower Myanmar belong to the Republic of Myanmar, but the areas in the west and north of Myanmar bordering India will belong to the Republic of China; in addition, the Malacca Peninsula did not belong to Myanmar, but now it also belongs to the territory of the Republic of China. At the same time, Myanmar
Several land and sea transportation hub cities in the country will also be set aside for the Republic of China to serve as military bases.
As the puppet president raised by the Republic of China, Dao Shimin was very sensible and did not dare to say no to any of the clauses proposed by Wan Lei. He also formally signed the China-Myanmar Mutual Protection Agreement. In this agreement,
The State of Myanmar can only maintain 100,000 security guards. The Republic of China will be responsible for the national defense of Myanmar. The Republic of China will leave no less than 50,000 troops stationed in Myanmar, even the security guards and police responsible for public security of the Republic of Myanmar.
All troops have to go to the garrison base to participate in training.
In addition to the mutual protection agreement, Dao Shimin also signed the so-called economic assistance agreement. According to this economic assistance, Myanmar's railway rights belong to the Republic of China, and businessmen from the Republic of China can freely do business and establish businesses in Myanmar.
Industry, Myanmar exempts all goods imported and exported from the Republic of China from tariffs.
In addition to military and economic infiltration, Wan Lei also intervened in Myanmar's education. In an agreement called the "Agreement on the Rejuvenation of China and Myanmar," it was stipulated that Myanmar's education should be in line with the Republic of China.
It is a textbook commonly used in the Republic of China. All high school graduates also take the unified examination of the Republic of China. Excellent candidates can enter the corresponding universities for further study. This is the Chinese version of Chiguoguo.
Of course, in addition to those aggressive assimilation clauses, Wan Lei still gave some benefits to the Republic of Myanmar. The most important one is that Myanmar nationals can freely enter and exit the Republic of China without approval from the Immigration Bureau. In other words, Myanmar people
Obtained the status of quasi-citizen of the Republic of China, which many people cannot strive for.
Wan Lei certainly had ulterior motives for granting the Burmese quasi-citizen status. In the future, a large number of Burmese people will enter the Republic of China, which will mean the emergence of a large number of pro-China factions. I believe it will not be long before the citizens of Burma will hold a referendum and decide to officially join.
The Republic of China eventually became a true member of the Republic of China.
