Age of Rebirth

The first thousand and 110 three chapters come from all directions

In the early morning of June [-]th, the hundreds of thousands of British troops in Libao, about [-] kilometers north of Mandalay, were ambushed again by the Japanese army. When they learned that all the Japanese troops were wantonly shooting prisoners of war, they felt that they had no way out. , with a fierce spirit that was put to death, after paying the price of more than [-] casualties, it broke through the blocking position set up by the Japanese army at the northern foot of the Libao Grand Canyon, and rushed towards Myitkyina.

Regarding the Libao Grand Canyon, the tragic bloody battle of the British army seems to be recorded in historical materials, and there are very few records. The British officers and soldiers who participated in the battle in person, and the survivors evacuated to India, did not talk about it. , the official newspapers and magazines of the United Kingdom and the United States, but Tang Qiuli knows it like the back of his hand.

When the British army broke out from Mandalay, the Chutian Special Operations Detachment, which was ordered to monitor the movements of the British and Japanese troops, kept reporting various situations to the division commanders at any time, including Yansaburo Ito in the Libao Grand Canyon The ambushes, the progress of the situation, happened exactly as he expected.

Whether the British were half-mutilated or wiped out by the Japanese army in the Libao Grand Canyon, it was in line with Tang Qiuli's intentions. For this bloody battle that made the British bloody and bloody, nothing touched the British army more than the independent army. Major General Yu Guanghan, the Chief of Staff of the Lu Mobile Corps, led the Corps' [-]rd and [-]th Field Brigades in an ambush on the Xiegu line, which was only [-] kilometers away from Libao. [

After the Japanese army began to bombard the British on a large scale, Yu Guanghan led a capable small force to approach the battlefield quietly. On a mountain overlooking the entire battlefield, Yu Guanghan witnessed everything that happened.

In his telegram to the commander Tang Qiuli, he described the battle in detail, "Master, the vanguard of the British army, about [-] people, has entered the Japanese ambush circle. The Japanese army covered the canyon area with fierce artillery fire. In addition, Fierce battles also broke out at the southern foot of the Lipau Gorge, and the whole line was full of gunfire and smoke, causing heavy casualties to the British troops."

"Two hours later, the Japanese planes rushed to the battlefield and carried out large-scale bombing of the crowded British army. The British soldiers were bloody and bloody, and most of the vehicles and tanks were destroyed. Immediately, the Japanese infantry launched continuous attacks on the British army. By the end of the evening, the British army had suffered more than [-] casualties. If there were no accidents, tomorrow would be the day when the British army fell, and the Japanese army would put all their attention on the British, and they were close to me. The two brigades of the army did not notice it."

The telegram that Yu Guanghan pointed out to the teacher had no other meaning. Nearly a million people were mixed together. The scene of gunpowder smoke and gunfire was earth-shattering. His blood was racing and his palms were itchy. He didn't have the idea of ​​saving the British, but looked at the Japanese soldiers beating the British in front of them, with such vicious and complacent vigor, he was very upset.

He now has more than 3 people in his hands. If he unexpectedly hits the little devil on the back, and the battle ends in an hour, he is absolutely sure to kill more than 1 little devils, and then retreat without leaving a trace. , The meaning of his telegram is to remind Tang Qiuli that I am in an absolutely favorable position now, and the Japanese army is not prepared.

Tang Qiuli's call back was very simple, just a few words: "Stand still and watch with a cold eye. Violators will be dealt with by military law." Looking at the battlefield full of fireworks, he swallowed and spit.

In fact, this is not just Yu Guanghan's own thoughts. When the Japanese army launched a devastating attack on the British, the commanders of many troops called the division one after another, asking the division commander to take advantage of the little devil and the British. The chance to be together, suddenly beat up the little devil, take a bite and leave.

It's not that the commanders of these troops are sympathetic to the British and are going to the rescue. The key is to see that Libao is fighting lively. There are so many Japanese troops gathered together, it is a big piece of fat, and everyone wants to take a bite. Tang Qiuli The call back to them was exactly the same as the call to Yu Guanghan, and Tang Qiuli was quite annoyed by the short-sighted behavior of these generals.

He said to Chief of Staff Chang Feng: "Some of our generals still haven't been able to fully understand the real intention of the Burmese campaign formulated by the teacher. They just want to have a good time. When they see the Japanese army, they can't help itching. Both sides consume each other during the battle, which is beneficial to us. If we intervene at this time, it will not only help the British a lot, but also attract the attention of the Japanese army to us. This not only violates the original intention of the battle, but also The gains outweigh the losses, I am really worried that our generals will suffer a lot from this."

When Tang Qiuli was in the Intuwa area of ​​the Ganli Mountains, when his generals expressed their concerns about their untimely pursuit of war, Alexander, the commander-in-chief of the British army, drove in a crazy mood on the rugged mountain roads in northern Myanmar. Rufei rushed to Bhamo, he had never been so anxious and irritable.

In Myanmar and the Indo-China Peninsula for decades, there have been ups and downs, and Alexander can be regarded as an old man, but he has never had the fear of facing annihilation like today. If he can't contact Tang Qiuli, he has an ominous premonition in his heart. , I am afraid that this time, no one will reach out to save the soldiers of the British Empire, and neither will Tang Qiuli.

This cunning Chinese occupied Myitkyina, opened up the channel to retreat westward to India, and gave himself and hundreds of thousands of British soldiers a hope full of danger. But he refused to stretch out his hand any more. In his heart, Alexander scolded Tang Qiuli thousands of times with the most vicious words such as "liar, villain, selfish villain".

However, he had no choice but to ask Tang Qiuli, otherwise, whether the British army was wiped out in the Libao Grand Canyon or surrendered, for Alexander, he would have lost all his money and would never have a chance to stand up again. Well, his fate is to leave sadly, but he never thought about it, if he hadn't been thinking all the time, let the Chinese protect him from the disaster, would there be today's ending?

Knowing that his weight in Tang Qiuli's heart was not enough, Alexander sent a telegram to the British government and the American government respectively before coming to Bhamo, truthfully and even exaggerating the current desperate situation facing the British army, hoping to arouse the two governments. He attached great importance to it and jointly put pressure on the national government, which is equivalent to putting pressure on Tang Qiuli.

The newly appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, even though he is also in a state of distress, the British Isles are facing locust-like German planes every day, carrying out continuous bombing of all valuable targets in all parts of the UK, the capital London, and even more It is the key bombing target, and the air defense force of the British army is almost lost.

However, Churchill would never give up the interests of the British Empire in Asia. Hundreds of thousands of troops would be the capital to return to Southeast Asia in the future. The long telegram, the words are warm, the words are humble, and Churchill, who is known for his arrogance, is the only telegram that lowers his head in the exchanges with other heads of state.

Speaking of which, the situation faced by the British at home is still thanks to Tang Qiuli. Hitler, the head of state of Germany, accepted Tang Qiuli's suggestion and turned his attention to the European continent to the British Isles. If you want to use bombs to make the British succumb, at least they will be dying, and it will have no effect on Germany's future strategy.

In the telegram, Tang Qiuli said to the German head of state, "Your Excellency, the German army is an enemy in the European continent, while the British mainland is protected by the Atlantic Ocean, and the industrial system has not suffered any losses. It is a clear threat to Germany. And the United States will never stand by and watch the war on the European continent, and the military actions of the head of state have violated the interests of the Americans in Europe."

"The Americans who have always intended to dominate Europe will never let the mighty Germany go unifying Europe, and will inevitably transfuse blood into Britain, which has a unique geographical location. Therefore, only the British surrender, or the German army occupies the British mainland, and the European war This is the complete victory of Germany."[

I don’t know Hitler’s real thoughts. Anyway, he will be transferred to the Eastern Front. Most of the air forces on the Soviet-German border will be concentrated on the English Channel side. Moreover, all the shipyards in Germany and the occupied countries are working day and night to catch up with the enemy. Building warships and landing craft is entirely a posture of a cross-sea expedition.

The German head of state believed in Tang Qiuli's words. It seemed that this young Chinese friend made no mistakes in every strategic prediction on the European battlefield. He said that the British would become Germany's potential enemy and biggest enemy in the future. If there is no threat, then conquer the British first, and then turn around to deal with that ugly Russian gorilla. As a result, the cloud of war over the British has become more and more intense.

The Americans are also in a hurry. They are now going all out to give the British blood transfusions. They don’t want to have any kind of conflict with the crazy Japanese in Asia. However, after the British in Southeast Asia have been completely eradicated by the Japanese, The greedy and crazy Japanese will inevitably turn their blood-red eyes on the American sphere of influence.

This is definitely not in the interests of the Americans. Therefore, President Roosevelt of the United States also sent a long telegram to Generalissimo Jiang, urging the Chinese government to send troops immediately to rescue the British army surrounded by the Japanese. Finally, he said without threatening: "If the British power in Southeast Asia is completely destroyed by the Japanese, the United States of America has to consider forming an alliance with the Japanese in Asia."

The threat in Roosevelt's telegram is obvious and naked, to form an alliance with the Japanese, and the subtext is that the intention to carve up mainland China with the Japanese in the future cannot be ruled out. This is the real face of the Americans, and there are only eternal interests.

The two telegrams sent by the leaders of the United Kingdom and the United States were like heavy bombs. Chairman Jiang stared at gold stars. He recruited Dai Li, the director of the Military Control Bureau, to the chairman's residence in Huangshan, Chongqing. In the same way, he said to Dai Li: "If you can't find Tang Qiuli, don't come back."
