Chapter 270 Three Points Southeast Asia
Laos, it will dry.
Located in the borders of Laos, Myanmar, and Thailand, it has a strong colonial atmosphere. Of course, this breath has nothing to do with a happy life, but is consistent with the poor and backward colonial characteristics.
No matter whether it was during the French colonial era or later, in order to gain more support from the British, and thus 'transferred' most of the territory of Laos to the British, it would never be linked to wealth.
Even if compared with the administrative city of the same level in Myanmar, it is far worse to be exposed to the sun. It is narrow, shabby, undressed, uneaten, and full of children. This is the characteristic of this city, and when it comes to scale The old stinky streets with dirty water and three crosses formed a Lao city, a poor place in Laos that is not as good as the town of Myanmar and even a village in northern China.
As soon as it was brightened, the Lao who was exposed to the sun discovered that a large army came to the mountain road ‘outside the city’ and it was really armed with teeth.
"Wow ..."
Some children who wanted to run to see the bustling children were dragged back into the house by their parents. They slammed their gaze and looked at the army they were approaching in shock.
"Burmese is here."
Some Lao people with a little knowledge could not help exclaiming when they saw the eagle flag that symbolized the Myanmar People's Army. Although this powerful neighbor, despite its strength, has not invaded Laos, it is only changing Some local activities at the border. Many people who go to the mountains go to the mountains on the border of the Three Kingdoms. They often see patrol teams with such flags. It is said that they guard the gold in the mountains, but no one knows how it actually is. But there is a saying circulating among the Lao mountain people nearby, don't get near that mountainous area, otherwise, the Burmese will use the cruelest means to kill every intruder.
But now, this Burmese army who has never stepped on the mountain has appeared in the sun, naturally causing panic. Although the Laots had forgotten the war for decades under the French and British colonial rule, the fear of the army has not been alleviated.
"Maybe they are here to rob millet and ore." Many Laots prayed uneasily. Although the French and the British are cruel, the reputation of the Burmese is not much better, especially they used to Iron-blooded means to kill mountain people who ventured into the border areas of the three countries.
A few horse riders finally appeared on the hills in the distant mountains. The person looking with a telescope looking at the sun.
"General Guluo, this is the sun. The troops in front have taken over, and the Lao people are so scared that they dare not have any resistance."
A Burmese staff member saluted before a general wearing the rank of Lieutenant General of the Burmese People's Army. The staff admired the Guluo general in front of him, not to mention his meritorious service for the Burmese people ’s government, but he could just drop the enjoyment of the Lieutenant General, dismantle the car prepared by the logistics department, and ride on The front of this unit.
The young officer sitting on the horse was Guro. Just as the Myanmar staff envied, Guro's Chinese identity was respected by the soldiers in the army, and he was praised by General Tuozhong for many times.
Against the backdrop of the Burmese People's Army uniform designed by the help of northern China, is a heroic young general. Although young, there is a kind of trembling sharpness in the eyebrows.
"Order, the troops will be replenished on-site according to the plan. The planned garrison will find a place to build a barracks. It is necessary to strictly restrain the ministries so as not to disturb the lives of the Lao people. In addition, send someone to communicate with the Lao leaders here. Say I want to see him. "
Looking at the pointed stupa in the 'iǎ city' on the opposite side, Gu Luo's mouth slightly smiled, that is already the best building here, the heart, completely exotic, maybe one day, but will completely Enter China.
He seemed to see that on that pointed stupa, not the flag of religion was hung, but the golden dragon flag, a symbol of northern politics, was hung by the Lao himself.
He is very clear about the mission of this unit he led.
This 20,000-strong Jīng Ruishan army unit will be responsible for the maintenance of law and order in the 'China's established occupation area' throughout northern Laos.
It is impossible for the North to expend great manpower and material resources to manage this place thousands of miles away. Therefore, the North China and the Burmese government reached an agreement to form a garrison army with the Burmese People ’s Army and adjust more than 20,000 people. Ruishan Army troops stationed in the area north of Tak Qu, Laos.
After coming to Myanmar for many years, in addition to making him excited by fighting the British and French, he can lead his own mountain troops to help his country in Laos today. He thinks this is a success of his own.
After all, he was never humane. The name Guluo was actually a pseudonym, even General Tuozhong did not know it. Guluo also came from China, but also had a very special Chinese name: Luo Chengjun, and a more mysterious number. : Number 295
Of course, 'Gu Luo' will not even know that his general also has a very mysterious number: 172, and an equally traditional Chinese name: Huazhong.
"A long way to go."
Gu Luo picked up the telegram in his hand and looked at it. The above is the latest march announcement in northern China. Jīng Rui's northern army was rushing all the way. It captured a British regiment stationed in the north and captured them in one go. go with.
Once Vientiane is successfully occupied, the combat mission in Laos will soon end, because he is only a step away from Vientiane.
Thinking back to the departure, General Tuo Zhong's instructions, Gu Luo could not help but move.
In addition to commanding this 20,000-strong garrison, Guluo also shouldered the responsibility of training the Lao native army. Although North China will send many officers to help him train, the entire Lao servant army needs him. Come carefully organized.
This is also the initial arrangement of northern China, first relocating troops from Myanmar, then training Lao servants, and then Lao and Myanmar officers to command and train the northern Vietnam.
This seems to command but completely avoids the self-respect of indigenous officers. The army trained in this way can ensure that these military functions can more smoothly command those 'outside teams'.
What is even more beneficial is that in the long run, Southeast Asian countries dominated by military forces will soon become accustomed to this joint rule, power and fork, and eventually become a safe territory for northern China.
This is much more advantageous than the squadron occupying these countries directly. It not only saves the garrison, but also does not cause much resistance to the indigenous people. Even if it is needed, someone will do bad things instead of the northern squadron. When necessary, they can even play a role of mediation and peacekeeping.
"General, the telegram just received."
A staff officer walked over to Lilu and gave him a telegram.
Gu Luo opened it up, and it was about Chinese teachers sent by northern China, and Chinese textbooks delivered by their peers.
"The third battalion and the third battalion of the Second Division of the Second Division were immediately rushed to the Langnan Pagoda, and the teachers and teaching materials in the north were there to pick them up. In addition, ōu transferred the engineering units to prepare for the site to build the school."
"Yes, General." The staff salutes him. He is familiar with Chinese and Chinese textbooks. He has already begun teaching in the army. In northern Myanmar, Chinese language promotion has been going on for three years. Many children in many places have begun to recite. Started Tang poetry and Song Ci, learned Chinese characters.
In the schools in northern Myanmar, although the Burmese language has not been compulsorily abolished, the teachers have no longer taught in Burmese, and Myanmar students who have outstanding Chinese learning can also receive school scholarships.
The staff couldn't help feeling that the north was moving very fast. Before the troops here occupied Vientiane, their Chinese plan went across the border.
After taking a rest for a long time, after leaving a battalion and some engineers to repair the school, Guluo continued to direct the army forward. When he saw the Laotian man who was scared to death in the morning, he just patted him. With a most sincere smile on his shoulder, he said, "Don't be afraid, everyone will be a family in the future. We are not here to kill, we are to protect you."
As a result, the other person only knew lying on the ground, scared and didn't know how to answer. In the end, he finally remembered to show loyalty and swear to his belief that he would order the Laots who would bask in the sun and obey the order.
Three days later, the Burmese mountain army again dispatched the two battalion's defensive forces and finally arrived near Vientiane.
Coincidentally, the main force of the Ninth Army has just arrived in Vientiane, and in the city of Vientiane, rifles and machine guns are being mounted on the streets and lanes in preparation for confrontation, but it is a brigade British army.
"Captain Zhang, this is the commander of the Second Army of the Burmese People's Army, and the general of the Burmese People's Army, General Guro!"
"General Gu Luo, this is the commander of the 21st Army under the Ninth Army of the Chinese People's Army, Major General Zhang Zhizhong."
Outside Vientiane City, Gu Luo finally met the general Zhang Zhizhong. His previous impression on him basically stayed on the information. Now that he has met a real person, he feels quite a general. If it were not for the severe rank upgrade system of the People's Army, Zhang Zhizhong, the army commander, would have mentioned the lieutenant general. Maybe after this Southeast Asian war, he can be promoted to Lieutenant General.
"General Zhang really has a strong general who deserves to be the northern iron general." Gu Luo stepped forward and saluted, and then shook hands with Zhang Zhizhong. "General Tuozhong asked me to convey my greetings to the generals, and I gave them a meeting gift."
What Tuozhong sent was an emerald pull finger, perhaps because he knew the strict requirements of the People's Army, and it wasn't expensive.
"General Guro has won prizes, and Wen Bai is just a mediocre general. People in the People ’s Army have more skills than me, abound. General Guro, led his troops to fight with Britain and France many times, even I heard it in the north many times, worthy of It is a model for my Chinese. Before leaving, Lieutenant General Xue Yue, commander of the Ninth Army, let me convey greetings to General Guro. "
Zhang Zhizhong took a word from the lieutenant next to him and solemnly gave it to Guro, saying, "The general's jade ring is still too precious. I will deal with it to the political commissar first, haha. This word is passed on to you by General Xue Yue of."
"Oh? It's too precious." Gu Luo took the word with both hands and opened it for a look, but couldn't help but applaud. I saw the words: "Southeast of Yong Town" written on it.
Seeing these four strong and powerful characters, Gu Luo could not help but burst into tears, saluting, "General Zhang, please tell Commander Xue Yue, my Myanmar People's Army, I Gu Luo, can afford this Four words. "
"Houjitsu patted him on the shoulder and said with relief.
"General Zhang, let us come in this siege battle." Gu Luo said with confidence. He was not speaking in vain. This army was originally a mountain army selected by jīng. Many people have participated in Myanmar. Veterans of the War of Independence were rigorously trained by northern Chinese instructors, and their weapons were considered advanced.
"Yeah, then I will transfer two 37-year-old infantry artillery regiments to cooperate with your offensive." Originally, Zhang Zhizhong was also afraid that the Burmese would attack, and the casualties were too great. The People's Army is on a par with the British and French. Although I have seen many praises from them in the data, it says that the Burmese under the leadership of Tuozhong is very brave and warlike, especially the formation of mountain troops is simply a natural choice. Mindfully, it's good to try their practical skills. Only to reduce their losses, two infantry artillery regiments were deployed to cooperate with them.
The terrain of Laos is worse than that of northern Vietnam. On the way, the 21st Army only brought infantry cannons. They pushed one by one and pulled one by one. At most, someone helped them. This improvement has been done several times for 37 years. Wheeled infantry cannons can pass on any narrow road.
"Well then, General Zhang please watch the battle with me." Gu Luo said happily.
After a while, after the infantry artillery regiment was in place, a division of the Burmese People's Army was also ready to attack. The division of nearly 8,000 people had at least exceeded the dissatisfied brigade in Vientiane City. Although Guluo was full of confidence, he did not use his superior strength, but instead sought to focus on the limited offensive surface, concentrating the most troops, and breaking through in one fell swoop.
In the combat room of the military tent, Guro simply issued an order, "Order the infantry artillery regiment, battalion, focus fire, and attack areas 3 and 4. At the same time, three divisions of a division launched a raid in area 3, five Minutes later, the main force launched a total offensive on area 4, and must win Vientiane City in one fell swoop. "
If it wasn't for the British army to build a line of defense relying on the buildings outside Vientiane City, the China-Myanmar coalition forces could even walk into the city in a casual walk. The Burmese army of more than 10,000 people, a Chinese army of the Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force, was enough to hold hands and walk Go into the city.
The most strange thing is that although the British generals on the opposite side faced tens of thousands of enemy forces with thousands of people, they were uncharacteristically and did not choose to surrender like the British troops in other cities.
Of course, neither Zhang Zhizhong nor Guluo would know. At this time in the city, Major General Paul, the top commander of the British Army and the newly-incorporated commander of the 25th Brigade, had just issued an order.
"We only need to block them for a day before we can declare surrender. The great sun does not fall over the empire, and even if it is defeated and surrendered, we must retain the gentleman's character."
From time to time, two infantry artillery regiments of the People's Army and two infantry artillery battalions of the Myanmar Army finally launched an attack on British garrisons near the outer city of Vientiane.
"Burst those buildings directly, don't bombard your shells, and don't worry about killing civilians. All you need to do is fire continuously."
This was the order the artillery had received from the commander.
At night, the areas 3 and 4 outside Vientiane City fell into a sea of ​​fire. The 37-year infantry artillery with a single explosive power was not amazing. After concentrating the artillery force of nearly 3 regiments, it finally reflected Great power came out.
The houses collapsed in pieces in the smoke of the explosion, and the British troops hiding behind the houses were blown up into the sky one by one. Although Vientiane is a major town in Laos, the entire city is not as good as a county in a certain place in the Republic of Yunnan.
There is no strategic depth at all, and there is no arduous urban assault. The soldiers with good physical strength can even catch their breath and chase from the city to the other side.
Sure enough, after the continuous shelling, the Burmese army launched an offensive. When it reached a limited level to attract the attention of the British army, Guluo finally issued a general attack order.
"The general attack begins!"
...
As a result, Zhang Zhizhong finally saw a battle in the town that made him more satisfied.
Guro first concentrated his artillery, focusing on bombing the British forces in two areas, and decided to destroy those houses at will, avoiding being used by the British as a natural strike bunker.
Subsequently, the Myanmar Second Army, which had an absolute number of advantages, launched a total offensive with a fast skirmish formation. These jīng Ruishan troops, which belong to the Second Army of Myanmar, are also very good when attacking this kind of town. They have learned a lot from Chinese instructors. After years of actual combat with the British and French, the Myanmar army does have With a minimum of combat power, he is also very skilled in the use of various tactics.
When the British major general committed suicide by triggering a pistol in Vientiane City, Vientiane finally fell into the hands of China.
Three days later, he lost control. An Indian division was easily defeated by the 21st Army of the Chinese Ninth Army. Xue Yue and even the captives went to Guro's Ministry to pursue, but he began to build fortifications.
The People's Army entered the city, but had no plans to go out again.
...
"General De Gaulle, you have also seen that the Chinese people in Laos and northern Vietnam are progressing very well. However, although they refused to negotiate and directly put forward more demanding territorial requirements, it is gratifying that They finally stopped at his song and near the sea. "Admiral William had no mercy in the face of the" French commander "who was not very lucky." You must admit that the free French government can no longer stop it. Chinese greed. Of course, neither can we. "
"Unless we concentrate our forces, it is possible to block them, but the Japanese have caused us too much trouble." De Gaulle faced those reports of defeat every day, and naturally he couldn't get better, knowing that the French Army was even being burmese in the mountains When the so-called mountain division was defeated, he felt a feeling of coming to an end. "General William, maybe we can ask for support. The British-German war in Europe does not require too many infantry, but in the Far East and India, a large number of troops are vacant."
"Useless, General De Gaulle. We can mobilize ten divisions, and the Chinese can mobilize twenty divisions, or even fifty divisions. The total number of our troops looks similar to them, but Southeast Asia is like their yard. It's too close. "William shook his head.
"What's your suggestion?"
With a pipe in one hand, William stood up, pointed at the big map, and didn't even walk over, saying, "Giving up Saigon, creating opportunities, letting China and Japan go to war, or at least destroying their vague allies is the best. Method."
De Gaulle heard that the subconscious was outraged. If Saigon was lost, Vietnam would be lost. Then the French liberal government would really depend on the colonies that had fewer than the British to survive?
William shook his head with a smile. He could see De Gaulle's embarrassment and know his concerns, but he didn't care, "General, if you don't agree, we will also take corresponding countermeasures. Hope you can seriously consider if You and I applied for joint reinforcements. At the latest, half a month, the recruits who performed well were sent in constantly. "
De Gaulle was in a very complicated mood. He could accept some of Vietnam, but now he wants to use the entire Vietnam as a bait to make two butchers compete. He feels a sense of powerlessness.
William comforted indifferently: "General De Gaulle, even if the French liberal government loses everything, we have enough places, such as India. As for the Chinese and Japanese, it may be more suitable to fight in Vietnam, and we, shrinking the line of defense, Withdrawing to Thailand and southern Myanmar may be the best option. A Vietnam, if it can exchange for Chinese and Japanese contention, it is not a pity. Regardless of your decision, I have reported this plan to British British Command. "
Four days later, after the Chinese People ’s Army formally occupied the sea and completed its combat goals on the Quhai front, the French suddenly abandoned Saigon, and all British and French troops in Vietnam north of Saigon also evacuated. The Japanese, who were about to start a decisive battle with British and French near Saigon, suddenly found that their fists were hit on cotton uā.
It took more than a week for Britain and France to completely evacuate the night from Vietnam. A large number of British, French and Indian coalition forces began to build a solid line of defense in Thailand and concentrated their forces. 30,000 Japanese troops.
Suddenly a power vacuum appeared in most of southern Vietnam. The Japanese were overjoyed and worried that China would victory from Hainan.
However, what made the Japanese, even the British and the French broke their glasses is that in the original plan, Britain and France gave up Vietnam in order to trigger Sino-Japanese scramble.
As a result, the Chinese not only went south, but instead built defensive fortifications and field airports in the sea. Where the squadron is closest to the Japanese army, you don't even need a telescope to see each other's face clearly.
But ~ EbookFREE.me ~ The squadron and the Burmese army did not do anything with the greatest patience.
A very weird situation appeared in Southeast Asia. The four countries in which China, Japan, Britain, and France were embracing each other looked at each other, but entered a short period of peace.
After the Japanese army in southern Myanmar was broken up and fled into the forest, the three parties were actively preparing. The difference was that the Japanese were busy landing more troops and supplies and preparing to attack Thailand, while the Chinese and British and French were digging trenches. However, China is defending against any possible enemy, while Britain and France have to face the attack of the larger Japanese and Southeast Asian troops.
When William discovered all this, he knew that he expected that half of the Southeast Asian situation between China and Japan would not emerge. After careful consideration, he could only sigh: "Damn Japanese, they are like a dog, they will Biting people, but fearing more powerful people, they dare to attack Britain and France, but they turn a blind eye to the huge North Vietnam, northern Laos. But one day, they will pay for this fear. The Chinese are too good at tolerance, I don't think they will ever let them go, even now they behave like a wild dog that fears tigers. "
At night, because of a trivial matter, I fell asleep before writing, woke up in the middle of the night and continued writing. Sorry. RA! ~!
