The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 578 For the Chinese

The 139th Regiment of the British Huang Family Army has been established for 197 years. The original designation was the 39th Regiment of the Huang Family Army. Later, according to the sequence of overseas colonies, the Indian mainland was the first area, and the sequence was established by the army garrisons in overseas colonies. For the 139th regiment, this became the [-]th regiment.

This troop once had a glorious tradition and made outstanding contributions to the expansion of the British Empire. It was almost invincible on the Indian mainland, and the officers and soldiers were very proud.

It is a pity that it has been many years, and the 139th Regiment of the Huang Family Army has not fought a major battle. The officers and soldiers lack combat experience, and their original strong combat effectiveness has already weakened a lot.

Their equipment is also very backward and has not been updated for many years. Most of the weapons are still preserved from the First World War.Over the years, Britain has also been developing advanced weapons, but the situation in Europe has been tense, and now there is a war with Germany. Britain's weapons supply is very tight, and it doesn't care about the British troops in the Indian mainland.

Of course, they don't need to change their costumes, because the resistance of the locals is too weak, and they still occupy a crushing position.Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the 139th regiment are still very arrogant.

After the establishment of an autonomous government in the Kokang area, the British army dispatched a small number of garrison troops, mainly Burmese servants, to the Kokang area to suppress, but was defeated.

This time, the British Governor's Palace dispatched two regiments of regular troops, including the 139th regiment, to the Kokang area for suppression.This time, the officers and soldiers of the 139th regiment thought it was easy. They lined up neatly and drove towards the Kokang area brazenly.

At this time, they were still more than 90 miles away from the Kokang area, and they never dreamed that they would be attacked here.

There were many things they couldn't think of. In addition, the enemy's troops were more powerful, about 5000 people, and their firepower was strong.In addition to a large number of artillery, there are also a large number of automatic firearms. What is even more unexpected is that the enemy's tactical level is also very high, and their combat skills are also very good.

The battle had just started, and most of the British officers riding tall horses were wiped out, and the machine gunners and artillerymen also received key attention.

As soon as the battle started, the British army was defeated.

It turned out that Gao Jiu learned about the combat deployment of the British army from the captured British servant battalion commander, and he wanted to defeat them one by one before the British army was assembled.

Therefore, he concentrated the main force of the coalition forces composed of the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Kokang Autonomous Army, used night marches, concealed his combat intentions, and ambushed him on the only way the 139th regiment of the British Huang Family Army must pass.

In this battle, Gao Jiu did not just attack with firepower to wipe out the enemy's vital forces as before, but ordered the Taohuashan guerrillas, the self-defense force of the construction company, and the Kokang Autonomous Army to attack the British army after the first round of firepower attacks. A full-scale attack was launched.

Gao Jiu must let the self-defense force of the construction company and the Kokang Autonomous Army go through a bloody battle so that they can grow up quickly.

Before the battle started, the officers and soldiers of the Self-Defense Force of the construction company and the Kokang Autonomous Army were very nervous, but when the battle started, they saw the British army was beaten up and defeated, and they were so numerous that they bravely swarmed superior.

When the coalition forces launched a charge, the British soldiers who lost their command suffered heavy casualties under the fierce artillery fire, and their inherent pride had already flown to Java.They panicked and could not organize effective resistance at all.Seeing thousands of enemy troops swarming forward, most of them directly chose to surrender.

The concepts of countries such as Britain and the United States are different from those of the Orientals. As long as their troops lose one-third of their troops, they can withdraw from the battle as a matter of course.When surrounded and out of ammunition and food, they can also honorably choose to surrender.

In this way, in less than half an hour, the proud 139th regiment of the Huang Family Army was completely wiped out.

After this fight, the self-defense force of the construction company and the Kokang Autonomous Army thought that fighting was nothing more than that. Everyone relieved their nervousness and entered a state of excitement.

Gao Jiu felt that the morale of the army was available, so he went directly to attack the 140th regiment of the British army.

At this time, the 140th Regiment of the British Army was marching on a road 40 kilometers away from here.Because the 139th regiment was destroyed too quickly, they did not get any news, and they also marched on the road with pride and swagger.Their destination today is Mengchuan Town.

Gao Jiu led the main force of the coalition army to continue the long-distance attack. He planned to destroy the British army in the wild before the British army entered Mengchuan Town.

After a long and rapid march, they rushed to the road.At this time, the British army has passed by here, and the marching ranks of the British army can be seen from a distance.

Gao Jiu made a decisive decision and ordered Guo Hengming to lead the cavalry unit of the Taohuashan guerrillas to cut off the retreat of the British army. He led the main force of the coalition forces to attack the British army directly.

Strictly speaking, the combat effectiveness of the British Huang family army is still very strong. When they found the enemy army coming behind them, they immediately set up a formation to fight back.

The two sides hurt each other and temporarily formed a stalemate.

Gao Jiu also hoped so. After a long march, the coalition forces exhausted a lot of energy. The confrontation between the two sides would help the troops recover their strength.

The coalition forces carried a large number of mortars, the total number of which reached more than [-], and they bombarded the British army indiscriminately.

The British army's equipment was backward, and the entire infantry regiment had only 4 mountain guns and [-] mortars, which could not withstand the enemy's shelling at all.

Under the command of Gao Jiu, the artillery of the coalition forces concentrated their artillery fire to destroy the enemy's artillery first.The artillery battle between the two sides lasted for a short time, and all the artillery of the British army was destroyed.Next, the British army was completely passive.

This is in the wild, there are no fortifications, and the British army has no place to hide, and suffered heavy losses from the artillery fire.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the British commander ordered the troops to retreat while fighting, trying to enter Mengchuan Town and rely on buildings to resist.

It's a pity that Guo Hengming's special forces were waiting for them in front of them, and their retreat was tightly blocked by fierce firepower.

At this time, because the coalition forces did not launch a charge, the British army was still resisting tenaciously.

In order to speed up the collapse of the British army, Gao Jiu asked Wang Zhankui to lead some special forces to turn around from the right flank. In this way, the coalition forces surrounded the British army from three sides, and the British army became more and more chaotic.

Gao Jiu saw that the fire was almost ready, so he ordered all the artillery to fire six rounds rapidly, blowing up smoke and dust billowing from the British army's position.Subsequently, Gao Jiu ordered to stop the shelling and issued an order to attack.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the coalition army had been lying on the ground for a long time, and their physical strength had already recovered. When they heard the order to attack, they all rushed up shouting.

This time the resistance of the British army was quite tenacious, but they had no solid fortifications, backward equipment, and insufficient numbers. Under the attack of the powerful coalition soldiers who had just won the battle, they finally collapsed and the entire army was wiped out.

Gao Jiu let the coalition troops rest for 40 minutes, called the officers to mobilize, and decided to attack the third division of the Burmese slave army while the iron was hot.

After two brutal battles, the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces have fully adapted to the battlefield environment.Everyone's morale was high, and regardless of fatigue, they embarked on the march again.

This time, Gao Jiu and the others made a trip for nothing.Since the Third Division of the Burmese Servant Army lost a battalion at Shuiwenkou, they have been very careful and sent a large number of scouts.When they learned that the troops of the two regiments of the British Huang's Army had been wiped out, they turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Gao Jiu and the others hurried on, but on the way they picked up some hats and shoes left by the officers and soldiers of the third division of the Burmese servant army, and two marching pots, but nothing else.

Gao Jiu and the others stopped to rest and bury the pot for cooking.Two and a half hours later, the coalition troops split up to attack the city and seize the territory, sweeping up the grassroots organizations of the British and Burmese governments.

Three days later, the coalition forces stopped the attack.So far, the coalition forces have occupied a large area of ​​land and expanded the area controlled by the Kokang Autonomous Government from the original 100 square kilometers to 18 square kilometers in 7000 counties.

The British Governor's Office in Myanmar finally figured out that the reason why the Kokang Autonomous Army is so powerful is because it has the help of China's Gao Jiu's Peach Blossom Special Forces.

The British governor had also heard of Gao Jiu's name. Knowing that he was not an opponent, he sent a telegram to the British mainland and protested to the Nationalist government through diplomatic channels.

The person in charge of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government is in a very complicated mood. Weak countries have no diplomacy. For many years, they have protested against foreign countries after being bullied.Unexpectedly, now, the mighty British Empire on which the sun never sets will protest to the national government. This is simply the sun rising from the west.

They were both excited and a little scared, so they reported the matter to the big shot.

The big man felt a little worried, because for a long time, he had a fear of Western powers such as Britain and the United States, and now the national government's main aid comes from the United States, including the United Kingdom in the past.Later, after the outbreak of the Anglo-German War, the British no longer provided assistance to the National Government, but after all, there have been such situations before.

The big shots are still worried that it will cause dissatisfaction in Britain, the United States and other countries, thus weakening the help to the national government.

However, after getting to know Gao Jiu all these years, he knew that Gao Jiu was not a reckless person, so he must have thought of a way out by doing this.So, he sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, hoping that Gao Jiu could return to Chongqing and explain the situation to him.

Gao Jiu understood his feelings, so he flew back to Chongqing.

It was already 8:30 in the evening when Gao Jiu arrived in Chongqing, Ouyang Xue went to the airport to meet him, and accompanied him back to Gao Jiu's villa.

The next morning, after Gao Jiu woke up, he saw Ouyang Xue standing in front of the window in a pajamas with long hair and shawls.Seeing Gao Jiu wake up, she said affectionately: "Good morning, Darling. The attendant of the Military Commission has called. I have prepared breakfast for you. You should get up and wash up. After eating, I will accompany you Let's go meet the big shots together."

After breakfast, Director Wang from the attendant's room of the Military Commission came to pick Gao Jiu up in person, and they arrived at the mansion's mansion not long after.

The big man still received them in the small living room on the second floor, and his wife was also present. She was worried that the big man would lose his temper over this matter, and she stayed with him in the mansion specially to persuade him at critical times.

In any case, this incident has caused troubles for the National Government.The big man said unhappily: "Gao Jiu, what are you doing in Burma? Why did you hit the British?"

Gao Jiu said: "I just can't bear the sight of the British bullying us Chinese, and I just want to teach them a lesson."

The big man said: "The British are China's allies and have normal diplomatic relations. If you do this, you are disregarding the overall situation."

Gao Jiu knew what he was worried about, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal for the British to protest, just like our foreign ministry, doesn't it often protest against foreigners? What's wrong with them?
Western powers are more pragmatic than the Chinese, they don't care about feelings but only about interests.Although the current British Empire is still known as the empire on which the sun never sets, they have already declined. Now they are shrunk down in the British Isles after being beaten by the Germans. They have no ability to trouble us.

Not only that, but they cannot do without the help of the National Government. On the one hand, they need the National Government to provide tungsten metal. For the time being, they cannot find an alternative country, and they will not stop importing tungsten metal.

Especially in the United States, they count on China to contain the Japanese army's strength and consume their national strength, and they will not give up aid to China. Not only that, but they will rely more and more on China's eastern battlefield in the future.

Don't take these Western powers too seriously, teach them a lesson, and they will know how to respect people. "

The big man thought about Gao Jiu's words seriously, and didn't say a word for a while.

Seeing that the big man didn't speak, Madam worried that he would lose his temper, so she spoke good words for Gao Jiu. She said, "Actually, what Gao Jiu said has some truth. affected."

Not long after Gao Jiu talked with the big shot last time, the United States had cut off the export of products and raw materials related to the Japanese military industry, which verified that Gao Jiu's prediction was correct.

The big man chose to trust Gao Jiu, he said: "This matter is your own fault, you have to be responsible for handling it."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "Don't worry! I've already made arrangements. The British Governor in Burma will invite me to negotiate in the next two days."

The big man nodded, and stopped talking about this matter, chatted with Gao Jiu for a while, and then ended the interview.

After Gao Jiu left, the big shots sent instructions to the Foreign Office, asking them to reply to the British Foreign Office, saying that Gao Jiu was a bandit, and the national government couldn't control him, and you should kill him if you have the ability, and the national government would never intervene.

Faced with such an answer, the British Foreign Office had no choice but to report to the big shots in the UK.

On the way back to Gao Jiu's villa, Ouyang Xue said with some expectation: "Ninth Brother, you are going to Yangon to negotiate with the British, and I will be your interpreter."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "No need. I've already arranged this matter, so there's no need for you to suffer any more."

Hearing this, Ouyang Xue felt a little disappointed, but she is a woman who knows how to measure, so she stopped talking about this topic.She said: "Ninth brother, you can stay in Chongqing for a few more days, let me accompany you well."

Gao Jiu said: "I plan to leave tomorrow afternoon and stay with you for another day." Ouyang Xue was very happy, she cherished every minute and every second with Gao Jiu, and accompanied him tenderly.

Gao Jiu has indeed made arrangements for negotiating with the British.

Li Shasha in Hong Kong received a telegram from Gao Jiu a few days ago, asking her to get in touch with the British government through her father to negotiate a solution to the Burmese issue.

The United Kingdom is now bombed by the German Air Force all day long, and it is always on guard against the German army crossing the English Channel to attack the British mainland. They simply don't care about remote Burma.

They didn't want to make extra troubles, so they entrusted the Hong Kong Governor's Office to send people to assist in the completion of this negotiation.The British Governor in Hong Kong, accompanied by Li Shasha, flew to Yangon, Myanmar this morning.

The reason why Gao Jiu only set off tomorrow is to leave time for the British to negotiate.
