Chapter five hundred and seventy-eight for the Chinese

The 139th Regiment of the British Huang Family Army was established for 197 years. Its original number was the 7th Regiment of the Huang Family Army. Later, according to the sequence of overseas colonies, the Indian mainland was the first area and the 39th Regiment was the garrison of overseas colonies, which became the 139th Regiment.

This army once had a glorious tradition and established outstanding achievements in expanding territory and boundaries in the British Empire. It was almost invincible on the Indian continent, and the officers and soldiers were very proud.

Unfortunately, for many years, 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 power has long been much weakened.

Their equipment is also very backward and has not been updated for many years. Most of the weapons are still preserved during World War I. Over the years, Britain has also developed 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 is impossible to care about the British army on the Indian continent.

Of course, they didn't need to change their clothes, because the resistance of the locals was too weak and they still occupied a crushing position. Therefore, the officers and soldiers of the 139th Regiment were 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 the Burmese minion army, and went to the Kokang area to suppress it, but was defeated.

This time, the British Governor's Office dispatched two regular troops, including the 139th Regiment, to the Kokang area for suppression. This time, the officers and soldiers of the 139th Regiment thought this matter was easy, and they lined up in an orderly manner and drove towards the Kokang area with great might.

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

There were too many things they could not imagine. In addition, the enemy had more troops, about 5,000 people, and had strong firepower. In addition to a large number of artillery and a large number of automatic firearms, what they did not expect was that the enemy's tactical level was also very high and their combat skills were excellent.

The battle had just begun, and most of the British officers riding tall horses were eliminated, and machine gunners and artillery were also given special attention.

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

It turned out that Gao Jiu learned about the British army's combat deployment from the captured British servant battalion commander. He wanted to defeat them one by one while the British army had not yet assembled.

So he concentrated the main force of the coalition forces formed by the Taohuashan guerrillas and the Kokang Autonomous Army, and used the night marching to hide combat attempts, and ambushed the only way for the 139th Regiment of the British Huang Family Army to attack him.

In this battle, Gao Jiu did not just use firepower to attack the enemy's live power as before, but ordered the Taohuashan guerrillas, construction company self-defense forces, and Kokang Autonomous Army to launch a full-line attack on the British army after the first round of firepower attacks.

Gao Jiu must let the construction company's self-defense force and the Kokang Autonomous Army experience a bloody battle to allow them to grow up quickly.

Before the battle began, the officers and soldiers of the Construction Company Self-Defense Force and the Kokang Autonomous Army were very nervous, but after the battle started, they saw that the British army was beaten and overturned and were defeated. They were also crowded and powerful, and they were brave enough to swarm.

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

The concepts of countries such as Britain and the Mid are different from those of the Orient. As long as their troops lose one-third of the people, they can withdraw from the battle for granted. When they are surrounded and have no ammunition and food, they can also choose to surrender gloriously.

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

After this battle, the construction company's Self-Defense Force and the Kokang Autonomous Army believed that the war was just like this. Everyone eliminated their tension 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 British Army's 140th Regiment was marching on the road 40 kilometers away from here. Because the 139th Regiment was destroyed too quickly, they received no news and were also arrogant and swaggering on the road. Their destination today is Mengchuan Town.

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

After a long and rapid march, they arrived on the road. At this time, the British army had passed by here and could see the British army's marching queue from afar.

Gao Jiu made a quick decision and ordered Guo Hengming to lead the cavalry troops of the Taohuashan guerrillas to cut off the British army's retreat. He led the main force of the coalition to launch a direct attack on the British army.

Strictly speaking, the British Huang family army is still very powerful. When they found that the enemy was behind them, they immediately set up a formation to fight back.

Both sides were hurt by each other, and temporarily formed a stalemate.

Gao Jiu also hoped that this was the case. After a long-distance marching, the coalition forces consumed a lot of physical strength, and the two sides formed a confrontation, which was conducive to the troops' recovery of physical strength.

The coalition carried a large number of mortars, and the total number reached more than 60 gates, bombing the British army.

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

Under Gao Jiu's command, the artillery of the coalition forces concentrated artillery fire to first eliminate the enemy's artillery. The artillery battle between the two sides took a short time, and all the British artillery was destroyed. Then, the British army was completely in a passive state.

This is in the wild, without fortifications, and the British army has no place to hide, and they suffer heavy losses due to artillery fire.

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

Unfortunately, in front of them, Guo Hengming's special forces were waiting for them, and fierce firepower tightly blocked their retreat.

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

In order to accelerate the collapse of the British army, Gao Jiu asked Wang Zhankui to lead some special forces members to detour from the right wing. In this way, the coalition forces formed an encirclement from three times, and the British army became increasingly chaotic.

Seeing that the fire was almost done, Gao Jiu ordered all the artillery to fire a six-speed fire, causing smoke and dust to roll in the British positions. Then, Gao Jiu ordered the stop of artillery bombardment and issued an order to attack.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces had been lying on the ground for a long time, and their physical strength had already recovered. When they heard the orders for the attack, everyone shouted and rushed up.

This time, the British army's resistance was quite tenacious, but they had no solid fortifications, were backward, and had insufficient numbers. After the attack of the coalition soldiers who had just won the battle and were full of momentum, they finally collapsed and eventually destroyed the entire army.

Gao Jiu asked the coalition forces to rest for 40 minutes, summoned the officers to mobilize, and decided to strike while the iron was hot and attack the Third Division of the Myanmar Servant Army.

After two cruel battles, the officers and soldiers of the coalition forces had completely adapted to the battlefield environment. Everyone was very motivated and despite their fatigue, they embarked on the road of marching again.

This time, Gao Jiu and others made a trip in vain. Since the Third Division of the Burmese Servant Army threw away a battalion at the 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 Family Army were eliminated, they turned around and ran away without saying a word.

Gao Jiu and others rushed to the scene, but they picked up some hats and shoes left by the officers and soldiers of the Third Division of the Burmese Servant Army on the road, as well as two marching pots, and found nothing else.

Gao Jiu and others stopped to rest and bury the pot to make rice. Two and a half hours later, the coalition forces divided their troops to conquer the cities and stormed the grassroots organizations of the British and Myanmar governments.

Three days later, the coalition forces stopped the attack. So far, the coalition forces occupied a large area of ​​land and expanded the area controlled by the Kokang Autonomous Government from the original more than 3,100 square kilometers to 18 counties and more than 17,000 square kilometers of land.

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

The British Governor had also heard of Gao Jiu's title. He knew that he was not an opponent, so he sent a telegram to the British mainland and protested to the National Government through diplomatic channels.

The head of the Foreign Ministry of the National Government was in a very complicated mood. Weak countries had no diplomacy. For many years, they had been bullied and protested against foreign countries. Unexpectedly, now, the dignified British Empire will protest to the National Government. This is like the sun coming out of the west.

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

The big man felt a little worried because he had long been afraid of Western powers such as Britain and the United States. Moreover, the main aid of the National Government now comes from the United States, including Britain before. Later, after the outbreak of the British-German War, the British no longer provided assistance to the National Government, but after all, this situation had happened before.

The big shots are still worried that it will cause dissatisfaction among Britain, the United Kingdom and other countries, thereby weakening their help to the National Government.

However, after his understanding of Gao Jiu over the years, he knew that Gao Jiu was not a reckless person. If he did this, he would have decided to have a way out. 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 mood, so he flew back to Chongqing.

It was already 8:30 pm when Gao Jiu arrived in Chongqing. Ouyang Xue went to the airport to greet 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 wearing a pajama. Seeing Gao Jiu wake up, she said affectionately: "Goodmorning,.darling. The call has come from the attendant room of the Military Commission. I have prepared breakfast for you. Get up and wash up quickly. After dinner, I will accompany you to meet the big guy."

After breakfast, Director Wang from the Military Commission's attendant room came to pick up Gao Jiu in person. Soon after, they came to the official residence of the big man.

The big man still received them in the small living room on the second floor, and the wife was also present. She was worried that the big man would lose his temper with this matter, so she stayed in the official residence to accompany him in order to persuade him at critical moments.

No matter what, this incident still caused trouble to the National Government. The big man said with some displeasure: "Gao Jiu, what did you go to Myanmar to do? Why did you hit the British?"

Gao Jiu said: "I just can't stand the British bullying us Chinese and teach them some lessons."

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

Gao Jiu knew what he was worried about and smiled and said, "Actually, it's no big deal for the British to raise protests. Just like our Ministry of Foreign Affairs, don't you often protest against foreigners? What's wrong with them?

Western powers are more pragmatic than the Chinese. They are merciless and only talk about interests. Although the British Empire is still known as the empire of the sun never set, they have long been declining. Now they are beaten by the Germans and are hiding on the British islands. They are not able to cause trouble for us.

Not only that, they are also inseparable from 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 a replacement country, and they will not stop importing tungsten metal.

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

Don’t take these Western powers too seriously. Give them some lessons so that they will know how to respect people.”

The big man thought about Gao Jiu's words seriously and did not say anything for a moment.

When the lady saw that the big man didn't say anything and was worried that he would get angry, she said good things for Gao Jiu. She said, "In fact, what Gao Jiu said makes sense. Western powers are a bit bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. I also think this matter will not have much impact."

Shortly after Gao Jiu talked with the big guy last time, the United States had cut off the export of Japanese military-industry-related products and raw materials, verifying that Gao Jiu's predictions were correct.

The big man chose to believe Gao Jiu, and he said: "This matter is caused by you, you must be responsible for handling it."

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

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

After Gao Jiu left, the big shot sent instructions to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, asking them to reply to the British Ministry of Foreign Affairs, saying that Gao Jiu was a bandit and the National Government could not control him. If you have the ability, you will destroy him. The National Government will never interfere.

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

On the way back to Gaojiu Villa, Ouyang Xue said with some anticipation: "Brother Jiu, you are going to Yangon to negotiate with the British. I will be your translator."

Gao Jiu smiled and said, "No need. I have arranged this matter, so there is no need for you to suffer any more."

After hearing this, Ouyang Xue felt a little disappointed, but she was a woman who knew the right way, so she stopped talking about this topic. She said, "Brother Jiu, you can stay in Chongqing for a few more days and let me accompany you."

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 she had with Gao Jiu and accompanied him gently.

In negotiating with the British, Gao Jiu has indeed made arrangements.

Li Sasha in Hong Kong had received a telegram from Gao Jiu a few days ago, asking her to contact the British government through her father to negotiate to resolve the Myanmar issue.

Britain is now under bombing from the Luftwaffe all day long, and is always on guard against the Germans crossing the English Channel to attack the British mainland. They don’t care about the remote Myanmar.

They were unwilling to cause trouble, so they entrusted the Hong Kong Governor's Office to send people to assist in the completion of the negotiations. The British Governor to Hong Kong, accompanied by Li Sasha, flew to Yangon, Myanmar this morning.
