Chapter 214 Opening the Gate

Just as Yang Feng was paving the road and building the bridge outside, a series of bad news began to spread among the various armies in Kunming.

First of all, the successive falls in the southeast coastal areas. Now it can be said that except for Sichuan and Yunnan, most other places have already had their surnames. Even the bald man ran away. Millions of troops are coming. The fourth field vanguard has approached Qujing, and those who have come from Guangxi have passed by Baise. There are five corpses in total, all of which are elite troops fighting from the north to the south.

Second, the Soviets' atomic bomb exploded, and their boss is now awesome, so there is no need to look at the Americans' expressions anymore.

Third, it is said that the Americans are already negotiating with Xinhua and are preparing to abandon them and be friends with Comrade Li. The news is still very popular, as if they are here in person. In short, it is very convincing. Anyway, they don’t have a good news channel at this time, mainly relying on the radio of the Ming Empire Radio Station. Needless to say, what the radio station will say at this time.

Fourth and most importantly, the Hongshawadie people were not allowed to pass the convoys that transported arms to them. Food and medicine could be used but not the arms, which means that their hope of receiving arms in Kunming was shattered.

"The head of state's arms have arrived in Assam. It's in Redo's warehouse. Brother Yang knows where Redo is?"

⊙On a hillside outside Kunming City, a Ming soldier said seriously that dozens of soldiers lying around him were idle and basking in the sun, which were from Li Mi's subordinates.

"I know, we came back from there through the Wild Man Mountain."

A veteran of the Expeditionary Force beside him said.

"The arms given to you by the Head of State are now stopped there. The Hongshawadie people will not let them come over, and he can't do anything about this."

"Ma'am. None of these monkeys are good. When they attacked the Japanese, they followed the Japanese to beat us. Our brothers fell into their hands, which was even worse than those in the Japanese. When they followed Commander Du across the Wild Man Mountain, more than a thousand wounded brothers were unwilling to fall into their hands, so they would rather pour qi oil on their own and burn it to death."

Another veteran said hatefully.

"What else can you care about? Let's go south. Anyway, you are familiar with the road!"

A soldier with a more anxious temperament shouted.

"No, no, at least they are also a country now, so we can't do that, but the Head of State is discussing with them, and it is said that they want to buy them for their way."

The Ming soldier hurriedly said.

There are many people who do similar jobs like him. For the various army in Kunming, the Ming army who lived with them day and night were not only good at skill, well-equipped, but also knowledgeable, generous and righteous. They are definitely trustworthy, especially when they heard that they beat Java, the Indians were so traumatized that they were very troubled by the deeds of the local girl.

This group of soldiers came from the Second Airborne Brigade that occupied Hyderabad. They served as the local emperor in Hyderabad for several months. The experience was quite wonderful, which made people fall in love with it after hearing it.

These people were chatting in the sun. Suddenly, a camouflage-painted short car drove over from the southern highway. There was a Ming soldier standing on the roof of each car. In front of them were large-caliber machine guns or grenade launchers with shields. They were different from these airborne soldiers. They all had a full set of combat equipment. They wore bulletproof vests and sunglasses on their faces, which made the soldiers stunned.

"Ma, the guard regiment directly under the War Zone Command? What are they doing here?"

The Ming soldiers who were speaking just now were also stunned. The doors of the military vehicles were all carrying the logo of the Assam War Zone Command. The Ming army still had six brigades of ground troops in Assam, and there was also an air cluster composed of nearly 200 combat aircraft, which was unified under the command of this command. The commander was Marshal Kesselin. His service contract with the Ming army ended next year.

In fact, the service period of most Prussian officers will end before 52 years, and then go home with the same treatment as retired officers of the Ming army, which means there will be a fixed pension every year. Anyway, Head Yang is not short of that little money, and the contributions of these people are also worth the treatment. Besides, they have to continue to serve the Ming army as consultants.

In the envious eyes of the soldiers, the military vehicle rushed by.

"Brother Liu, what kind of car is that?"

A soldier asked the Ming army soldier.

"The warriors use off-road, light armored vehicles, and at most rifle-blocking bullets. They are just strong and do odd jobs like the small jeep in the Mid-range army. We all have this kind of cars, and you will definitely be able to match them in the future. It seems that today we are a big shot, otherwise it would not be escorted by the Assam War Zone Command Guard Corps."

The latter said.

The person who came was indeed a big shot. Chen Hu, the deputy chief of staff of the Ming army, did not take a plane, but came from Assam by car, and inspected the traffic conditions along the way. Although the thousands of kilometers of roads from Leido to Kunming were incomparable to the Ming Dynasty, which had basically begun to harden asphalt, it was barely enough. After all, the Allied forces relied on this route to counterattack. Now after repair, the transportation capacity was even significantly improved compared to that time.

“Anyway, there is no problem with the road.”

After being welcomed to the headquarters by Li Zongren and others, this former guerrilla who had fought side by side with them back then pointed to the map he brought.

"The road from Ledo to Michina was just repaired last year. Although it was not hardened, there was no problem with the five-ton truck. From Michina to here, although the road conditions were slightly worse, it was barely possible. We prepared 20,000 cars in Assam, including trucks and some large buses, which could transport at least 300,000 people at a time. If you are sure, I can now give the order there to send the civilians you accompany to Assam first. It is estimated that it will take up to ten days to complete.

Your army can first walk south in batches, leaving an army as a guard. The most threat to you is the troops chasing from Guizhou. Their vanguard has just arrived in Qujing. When we turn around, we dispatch a batch of bombers to blow up the bridges along the way. They walk in this kind of mountainous environment, and it is difficult for them to walk hundreds of kilometers in ten days. After completing civilian transport, the guards will load the truck and arrive at the border in one day.

We have already negotiated with the Honshawadi government that you can carry weapons, but they will have two divisions to supervise, so how to make excuses and launch an attack on them needs to be solved by yourself, but one thing is that we will not give you arms before you take action, and we will not intervene. So once you take action, you must control the India-Myanmar Highway as quickly as possible. This is the core of the plan. As long as this road is still controlled by the Honshawadi people, we cannot force it through."

Li Zongren nodded.

This problem is easy to solve. His 200,000 army was lined up in a long snake formation. It is estimated that when the speed reaches the India-Myanmar border, the slowest one is just coming to the Secretariat. Once the position is arranged, each unit will take action together, and the entire road will be taken down in one fell swoop.

As for the two divisions of the Burmese Army, they are not worth mentioning to them. Who are these people? The elite troops who have fought in a hundred battles and the garbage in Hongshawadie are nothing more than pushing them over. What's more, there are many people here who have fought for many years before and are very familiar with the terrain.

"As long as you complete these, there is nothing else to say, but there is another point that our air force will not take the initiative to enter into battle. We must use this as an excuse to set up a no-fly zone over the war zone."

Chen Hu said.

Li Zongren didn't say much either.

"As for how to fight, I won't say much, you've been through the battlefield for a long time. In short, you can build as much territory as possible in the shortest time possible. It's best to get a relatively closed and easy-to-defend area and then place your family."

Chen Hu said.

"These are all small things, but there is one thing that must be asked clearly, how will the Head of State be ready to end."

Bai Chongxi asked.

What he asked was how to end after the battle was finished. War is OK at any time if you want to fight, but it is not OK at any time if you want to end. Besides, hundreds of thousands of people were killed to other countries to grab territory. This international influence must be considered. It is not in ancient times now, and there is still a United Nations at least.

"End? It's very simple. You grab territory as quickly as possible. When you think the area you have grabbed is enough, just tell us it. We will think of promoting peace talks. This is very simple. Just drive the aircraft carrier formation over. The best thing for the Hongshawadies to agree to peace talks. If we don't agree, we will bomb Yangon directly. In Southeast Asia, this is usually the end.

Then you maintain the occupied area and just quarrel at the negotiating table. We don’t say or leave, or leave. In short, we just stay here, slowly clear the occupied area, keep it if you are willing to obediently, drive it away if you are unwilling to obediently, and consolidate the rule of the occupied area. In short, let’s talk. When there is nothing to talk about, we will create some conflict. The two sides will have a break when the talk breaks down and then talk when it needs to be discussed.

So my personal opinion is that you don’t need to grab too many in the early stage. There are less than one million people in total, and you can’t control them too much. It’s enough to take the secret as the core. The terrain here is closed, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It’s backed by Assam. Everything you want is easy to do, including the nearby mountainous areas, the area is nearly 100,000 square kilometers, which is enough in a short period of time. Maintain it for three or five years before looking for something else.

But one thing is, you must control this area to the south.”

Chen Hu said, and he drew down from the Mizhi on the map with his fingers, and kept paddling along the tributary southwest of the Irrawaddy River, and kept marking hundreds of kilometers before stopping in a small basin called Maulu. Then he nodded with satisfaction and said, "This distance is safe enough. You only need to get here. In short, this valley corridor must be controlled in your hands and firmly in your hands, because it is related to your future."

“What’s here?”

Bai Chongxi asked without hesitation, all of them were old fried dough sticks, and he knew that there was something good here as soon as he heard it.

"It's very simple. The largest and probably the only jade ore in the world!"
