Qihou Sushan rushed to Tengchong, Yunnan, where the Dahua Royal Army camp was located.
He took a train from Hanzhong south to Chengchong, where he changed to a carriage and dared to go to Tengchong, Yunnan.
The current railway network has not yet been completed, especially in areas where roads are difficult to travel, such as the northwest, Wusizang, Mobei, and Yunnan-Guizhou.
It will be the last area where railways will be built.
Hanzhong, the land of dragon prosperity, and Sichuan, the land of abundance.
These two places enjoy special treatment. Even if the same roads are difficult to travel, they are also the first places to build railways.
There are no railways in places like Yunnan and Guizhou, but the imperial court has built asphalt roads and all counties are connected by highways.
In order to reach Tengchong as quickly as possible, Qihou Sushan lost six of his carriages.
We used ancient roads and built them in sections to expand this path, which can only be barely traveled by people, so that it can carry heavy vehicles."
December 23, 4337 (1640 AD).
They continued walking south along the road, and the sky was getting a little dark.
After Su Shan inspected the camp, he was preparing to send the army off to the border not far away.
They walked across the steel cable bridge, and the unladen carriage also carefully crossed the steel cable bridge.
If a soldier does not fight, it will be difficult to get a good assignment.
Now that the roads are basically open, the main force of the army should also head to the border areas.
Su Pengfei burst into tears and immediately nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Mr. Qihou, the Sixth Army will never hold you back.
Chai Jin's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Su Shan.
When Su Shan heard Su Pengfei's story, he realized that he had forgotten about it.
The carriage stopped by the chain bridge, and they walked on the chain bridge.
At that time, many people thought that the commander-in-chief of the army this time would be Su Zhuang, Duke of Song Dynasty.
The Second Army is a direct descendant of Song Guogong. Although Su Pengfei and Emperor Su He have a kinship relationship that goes beyond the fifth server.
But he didn't want to offend Song Guogong Su Zhuang because of this reason.
As long as Qihou Sushan is determined and does not care about the casualties of the Sixth Army, he can completely arrange the Second Army in the rear.
The Second Army is stationed in Chongqing, Rongcheng, and Kunming.
Chai Jin explained at the side: "This is a mountain pass that is too narrow for carriages to pass.
Su Shan smiled and said: "To deal with tribal armed forces like the Burmese Army, we can easily defeat them using only light weapons."
Qihou Sushan patted Su Pengfei on the shoulder and said happily: "I have won a good opportunity for you this time.
We are going to celebrate the New Year in a big city in Myanmar.
The battle in the southwest was planned first, and before the commander-in-chief was decided, the Governor-General ordered the troops to assemble.
You responded too slowly and lost this opportunity.
It’s not your fault, after all, the Second Army’s defense area is too close to Tengchong.
In order to prevent accidents, His Majesty the Emperor sent two armies to attack Burma.
The combat effectiveness of these armies is worrisome, and the general has never taken them seriously."
Qihou Sushan, accompanied by the generals of the Second Army and the Sixth Army, visited the road opened by the Second Army.
In such an important war, the opponent is the Burmese army, which has very weak combat effectiveness.
Qihou Sushan looked at the speed of these machines driving through the mountain.
They soon arrived at a large lumber camp.
The gravel from the blast is a very good material for paving roads.”
The enemy you designated, all soldiers of the Sixth Army will destroy this enemy without fear of sacrifice."
The convoy had not been walking for long, and the roads here were not even paved with gravel.
Most of the regular traces are the fires we set.
Even if it was to compete for military glory, Chai Jin would not miss this opportunity.
This war is rare. If you want to participate in larger-scale wars in the future, you will have to pay more.
This commander is trustworthy, and at least he will not rob his subordinates of their military glory.
Su Shan nodded and watched the carriage driving on the mountain road.
Otherwise, nearly 100,000 troops would approach the tropical rainforest unprepared.
A small number of tribes here harassed us, firing cannons and setting fire to the forest.
Who knew that God would provide for unexpected events, but Su Zhuang, the Duke of Song Dynasty, was unable to lead the troops in battle due to physical reasons.
Fortunately, Chai Jin did not let the army clear the road in advance. Fortunately, Chai Jin took this into consideration.
You must display the momentum of the Sixth Army."
…………………………
Chai Jin is also a smart man, and the idea he came up with is very good.
Commander Chai, do you have confidence?"
Su Pengfei was afraid that because of this matter, he would lose Xigua, who commanded the battle.
Regardless of whether it was in terms of seniority or the adaptability of the direct army, Duke Su Zhuang of the Song Dynasty was the first choice.
The Sixth Army took a train from Xiangyang, Wuchang, Changsha and other places to Rongcheng, and then transferred to a carriage to reach Tengchong.
During the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qihou Sushan miscalculated the future situation of the imperial court.
It is basically impossible for a soldier without military exploits to compete with someone who has military exploits.
This time, he had a sudden idea to win a military honor for himself before everyone else could.
Su Shan looked at the high canyon and the raging river below.
Su Shan summoned Chai Jin in the commander's tent.
When Su Pengfei, commander of the Sixth Army, received news of Su Shan's arrival, he immediately went out of camp to greet him.
The simple bridge built with iron cables cannot allow heavy artillery and baggage to pass, but the army can pass quickly.
There are currently nineteen armies in the Dahua Dynasty, and a brigade commander in the First Army can be promoted to army commander due to military merit.
This directly led to the collapse of most of Chai Jin's plans.
This road is an expansion of the original ancient road, not a new road built in the mountains.
Su Shan also has a relatively stable personality and is not good at fighting for military glory.
The Second Army was also in the southwestern region, but their Second Army left Tao Guifan and recovered the vast Usizang area.
Su Shan looked at Su Pengfei and said with a tone of hatred: "This is a good idea.
Heavy artillery and other items that are too heavy require engineers from the Logistics Department to build the mountain road on the left.
"We succeeded and the road was completely opened."
I will ask for credit from your second army.
He waited until the sun had completely set and the cheers of soldiers could be heard from ahead.
The high-speed rotating chain saw, driven by the steam engine, only takes three or four seconds.
As a commander-in-chief, if you don’t understand your own side’s situation.
As he was about to attack Burma, he had to conduct a detailed survey of the army's situation.
Even if the mountain road is repaired and the marching route remains unchanged, it will still take five hours more to travel."
It can directly chop down trees as thick as one person.
I thought on the way that the road is the most difficult part of this trip to Myanmar.
The Sixth Army is among the entire army, and it is a famously useless army.
Chai Jin shook his head and said: "Qi Hou, how could you set fire to the mountain?
They passed a mountain pass first.
He briefly told Qihou Sushan about the relevant matters.
Chai Jin's expression was very respectful, and he reported in detail to Qihou Sushan the relevant situation of cutting down mountains and opening roads.
The Second Army, who were almost connected by fate, Tao Guifan occupied Wusizang, giving the Second Army a new way out.
For the safety of the army, these dangerous places can only be burned down with fire."
Su Shan smiled and said: "The Second Army handled this matter very well.
Su Shan asked curiously: "Chai Jin, commander of the Second Army, isn't he in the camp?"
Chai Jin said: "Qi Hou, this is very simple. Just remove the fuse of the rocket, use the rocket to pull the steel cable, and hit the steel cable directly to the opposite side."
The time has been calculated and today is the time for the road to be completely opened.
They should first open a road to Burma before waiting for the arrival of the commander-in-chief.
The Second Army arrived in Tengchong and did not establish a military camp for training.
Su Shan can see that there are traces of fire in many places.
It would at least bring thousands of casualties to the army and delay the passage of the army.
Su Pengfei stayed at the camp, training the troops and assisting the logistics department in mobilizing supplies.
Most of the woodlands set on fire are areas frequented by venomous snakes and beasts.
On both sides of the road are dense virgin forests.
Their Sixth Army has an outstanding reputation within the entire system of the Royal Army of China. It is not a good reputation.
Su Shan looked at the road and saw that he could make two carriages run side by side.
Five soldiers cooperated with each other and pushed the steam felling machine to quickly cut down the trees.
Many generals in the army can see that being able to do this well is a very impressive achievement.
We drilled holes on both sides of the mountain and used explosives to blow up the mountain.
When Chai Jin returned to the camp, he felt a little uneasy.
If you take the path below, it will be impassable for baggage vehicles and five more hours will be wasted.
When Su Pengfei heard Su Shan's inquiry, his face was slightly nervous.
Our opponent, the Burmese Army, can defeat them even without rifles.
Qihou Sushan said bitterly: "I'm afraid it will delay you for a few more years.
Many generals of the Sixth Army have been waiting for this opportunity for too long, and I don't want to let them down."
After Su Shan heard the relevant information, he was very satisfied.
It caused several small wildfires, which we have put out.
How can we attack Burma, with these traces of fire?
Now the tide has turned, and their Second Army has become the weak side. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.
How is it possible to say that they are not envious?
As a result, the Sixth Army never fought another war after the founding of the People's Republic of China.
But at the beginning of the war, we must not let the Burmese army block our army in the tropical rainforest.
The cable bridge we built can withstand a weight of more than 2,000 kilograms.
He was most afraid that if the road was not opened, Qihou Sushan would choose to force a replacement, thus making wedding clothes for others.
He asked curiously: "How did you throw the steel rope thicker than your thumb across the other side?"
The mountain road was undulating, and he also saw a newly built iron cable bridge.
The Third Army and the Sixth Army issued orders via telegraph via the Metropolitan Governor's Office.
Chai Jin introduced: "Qihou, soldiers can quickly go to the other side through this iron cable bridge.
He heard the staff report that Chai Jin, commander of the Second Army, had returned to the camp and reported to him the relevant situation.
Chai Jin was responsible for clearing mountains and opening up the road from Dahua to Myanmar.
Su Shan came here just to watch this road be completely opened.
He could understand that more than 40,000 people, working with these machines, could indeed open up this mountain road in more than a month through multi-section road construction.
He said worriedly: "Old leader, your health is not very good, why are you so anxious to leave?
If Chai Jin didn't come, he wouldn't worry that the Second Army wouldn't get a good mission.
They came out of the camp. Qihou Sushan was in the carriage and asked Chai Jin:
"The Second Army moved very quickly. It only took a few months to open this road."
When the Sixth Army arrived in Tengchong one after another, they found that the Second Army had arrived in Tengchong for many days.
How can we know ourselves and our enemies and win the war?
The first group of soldiers arrived in Tengchong more than a month ago.
The amount of cargo loaded on a wheelbarrow can easily pass through the cable bridge.
He was very curious. Chai Jin, the commander-in-chief, did not come to greet him on his first day at the camp. This was very abnormal.
Su Pengfei knew that Qihou Sushan knew the Sixth Army so well that he didn't want to waste any time and came to the camp as quickly as possible.
It is a mature etiquette in the military that subordinates must cleanse themselves of their superiors.
The Sixth Army was originally a direct descendant of Qihou Sushan.
He and Chai Jin divided the work and cooperated.
Myanmar is mountainous, rainy and forested, which requires the army to get used to fighting in the rainforest.
When Su Pengfei heard this, he was a hard-blooded man and couldn't help but shed tears.
Su Pengfei looked at Su Shan, who was tired from traveling and looked a little haggard.
With the Second Army as the vanguard, they formally attacked Burma.
Su Shan came to the camp and began to review the army and check the situation of supplies in the camp.
Before setting the fire, an isolation strip dozens of meters wide had been dug to prevent the fire from spreading.
There is also the celebrity Qu Tian, who is already the deputy chief of staff of the General Staff Department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office.
Su Pengfei went to understand the situation.
Instead, he took all the soldiers to the border area to clear mountains and cut trees, hoping to open a road for the army to pass.
Chai Jin himself thought that the old leader Su Zhuang would become the commander-in-chief of this war.
This is a dirt road paved with gravel.
Chai Jin immediately replied: "Master Qihou, we are not busy, we have conducted careful inspections in the early stage.
He had previously looked down upon the Sixth Army.
Chai Jin can think of this, which is very good."
If the commander-in-chief is dissatisfied with an army, there are many ways to correct it.
A few days earlier and a few days later will not affect the outcome of the war.
If a forest fire really breaks out, it may not be possible to extinguish it in a year, let alone a month.
We cannot break up with the Second Army just because we are competing for military glory.
He asked: "Commander Chai, are you setting fire to the mountain?"
Su Shan and Su Pengfei walked towards the camp.
The Second Army is closer to Tengchong.
Su Shan was in the carriage and heard the sound of the steam engine.
Su Shan admired him very much. He had also commanded the army to build roads. Under normal circumstances, roads were difficult to build and took a long time.
After opening up the road, with the Second Army as the vanguard, we immediately launched an attack on Burma."
Basically all generals have not been promoted.
The vast majority of the Sixth Army had no resentment in their hearts when they were surpassed by people who were far inferior to them before.
With only five kilometers to go, they would have broken through the entire tropical rainforest.
He remembered what happened when he first arrived at the camp more than a month ago.
Waiting for the arrival of Qihou Sushan, he officially launched an attack on Myanmar.
Su Pengfei also coveted this task. The Second Army had already taken the lead, but he couldn't compete.
Chai Jin pointed out that there are dense tropical rainforests on the China-Myanmar border and there are no accessible roads at all.
Seeing this situation, Su Shan smiled and issued an order: "The road is completely opened, and I will give the Second Army three days to reorganize the army.
We have also taught a lesson to the Burmese army who crossed the border to provoke.
This also shows that subordinates are willing to obey military orders.
Chai Jin immediately saluted the military salute and replied: "Don't worry, Marquis Qi, the general will not let the army celebrate the New Year in the wild.
With the strength of our army, we will definitely be able to break the Burmese army’s defense line.”
On February 26, Qihou Sushan issued an order.
One hundred thousand Royal Chinese Army broke out of the tropical rainforest on the border and launched an attack on Myanmar.
