Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On April 7, when the 532nd Regiment of the Army's 53rd Division threatened the Portuguese in Macau, the base camp in Beijing was already busy.  Today, the Chinese Army's battle against the Nanyang region will begin. Nearly two hundred thousand troops are already ready to go.

    "Is everything ready? Have all the units reached their designated positions? Where is the navy's fleet?" Wang Yuze also went to the base camp in person to pay attention to this combat operation.

    "Your Majesty, all units have reached their designated positions and are ready to launch attacks at any time. The Navy's fleet consisting of the battleship 'China', the battleship 'Hua Xia', two heavy cruisers and several light cruisers has already escorted the Marine Corps  Set off. Currently, the fleet of the 5th Marine Corps Brigade has arrived in the South China Sea. Tomorrow, it will be able to enter the Strait of Malacca and launch an attack on Singapore. The 8th Marine Corps Brigade will be able to land on Kalimantan today and attack the island.  The British Army on board." Chief of General Staff Xiong Wu reported to Wang Yuze.  After more than half a month of preparation, all the troops participating in the Nanyang operations are ready.

    "Very good, order all ministries to launch the attack according to the scheduled time!" Wang Yuze nodded.  The British Far East Fleet was wiped out, and there was no longer a threat from the British Navy in the entire Southeast Asia region. The French Far East Fleet had already fled the Southeast Asia and retreated to Africa.  The armies of various countries in Nanyang are no match for China at all.  For the Chinese ** troops, the threat posed by the natural environment is probably greater than the threat posed by the enemy.  Fortunately, two years ago, the Chinese ** team had already started training for combat in jungle areas, although they were not necessarily very proficient.  But it will definitely not be inferior to the elite troops of various countries.

    "Yes. Your Majesty!" Xiong Wu replied.  in this war.  The army's main attack directions are mainly Russia in the north, Southeast Asia, Japan, and possible landings in the United States, etc.  Now, on the Russian battlefield, the Chinese Army is winning steadily, and the Russian army is no match for the Chinese Army at all.  The colonial armies of Britain and France in the Nanyang region will not pose much of a threat to China.  After the war in these two places has laid the foundation for victory.  It's time for the Chinese ** troops to land in Japan and completely solve Japan.  As for landing in the United States, it depends on the subsequent development of the war.  After all, it is still very difficult to launch a military strike against the United States across the entire Pacific, even with Hawaii as a forward base.

    "During the Nanyang operations, it is especially important to ensure the logistics of the army. Especially for the troops fighting in Myanmar, due to transportation constraints, the pressure on logistics supplies will be very high. Logistics support must be provided!" Wang Yuze specifically explained.  The traffic between China and Myanmar is very bad.  There are just some old roads, or even just forest paths.  This is useful for large army marches.  It can cause a lot of stress.

    "Your Majesty, we will try our best to ensure the weapons and ammunition for the troops. But in terms of food, we hope that we can agree to the troops collecting food and grass on the spot!" said Minister of National Defense Jiang Xingguo.

    "Collect food and grass on the spot?" Wang Yuze frowned.  Of course he understood the meaning.  The number of troops fighting in Myanmar will reach 4 divisions and more than 70,000 people. It will be very difficult for such a large force to transport food and grass from the country.  The so-called local recruitment is to collect food and grass from those in Myanmar, and obtain supplies for the troops through purchase or even direct requisition by force.  In doing so, Wang Yuze was somewhat worried that it would arouse resistance from the Burmese people, which would have a very bad impact on subsequent operations.

    "What if the resistance of the Burmese people is aroused? The Burmese natives are used to fighting in the jungle, and they may cause unnecessary trouble. If there is pressure on logistics, airships can be used for transportation. Now the battle in Vladivostok is over  Yes, the airship troops can be used to support the Nanyang operations!" Wang Yuze said.

    "Yes, Your Majesty! But if we can collect food and grass on the spot, the pressure will be much less. As for the resistance of the Burmese people, we can completely solve it. There are many Chinese in Burma, and we have already made contact with these Chinese. When the time comes, they will  Give us support. In addition, there are many ethnic minorities in Myanmar. In addition to the Bamar people who account for more than half of the population, there are hundreds of ethnic groups. Most of these ethnic groups have conflicts with the Bamar people. We can support the ethnic groups in exchange for them.  Support us. On this point, the Military Intelligence Bureau has already been deploying it, and has achieved very good results. Several ethnic groups have agreed to cooperate with us!" said Xiong Wu, Chief of General Staff.

    "In that case, just follow your plan! After defeating the British, I hope to establish a Chinese-dominated country in Burma, which can become a vassal state of the empire. By then, the empire's army will ensure the security of Burma.  All ethnic groups that resist must be severely suppressed!" Wang Yuze said.  For those ethnic minorities in Myanmar, it is now available.  But after China revealed its ambitions towards Myanmar, this?The Burmese people will definitely become enemies of China.  When the time comes, it will be very necessary to support some pro-China Burmese people and brutally suppress those pro-China Burmese people.

    "Yes, Your Majesty! We will make arrangements. There are not many Chinese in Myanmar now. After the war, we can immigrate to Myanmar to ensure the rule of Manchuria!" said Defense Minister Jiang Xingguo.

    Wang Yuze nodded, which is very popular.  Although northern Myanmar is mountainous and has harsh natural conditions.  However, the southern coastal and central areas of Myanmar have many plains and fertile soil, which will be suitable for immigration. If the Bamar people, who account for the majority of Myanmar's population, can be suppressed, China will be able to ensure its rule over Myanmar through immigration.  At that time, whether it is treating Myanmar as a colony or directly annexing it to China, we can slowly consider it.  However, this task is still very arduous. Myanmar now has a total population of tens of millions, and there are at least six million Bamar people. These Bamar people occupy the most elite areas. If you want to get rid of these Bamar people, you will  It's a very big job.  However, the country will definitely need a lot of free labor by then.  In addition, there are the Indochina colonies and Malaya. The total number of indigenous residents in these areas exceeds 10 million. The Chinese only account for a very small number in these areas. To ensure the Chinese rule in Nanyang, immigration must be carried out.  , and at the same time take some measures to reduce these indigenous situations.

    Of course, these are all things after the war. At this stage, we still have to defeat the Nanyang region first.

    At nine o'clock in the morning, the Chinese troops deployed on the border of Yunnan and Guangxi provinces began to attack Burma and the French Indochina colonies.  The 7th, 28th and 52nd Divisions of the Southwest Military Region set out from Ruili, went south to attack Lashio, and continued to advance to the south.  The 30th Division set out from Tengchong, attacked Myitkyina, swept through northwest Myanmar, and then moved south.  The British troops that these four divisions have to face are only more than 30,000 people. In addition, there are more than 50,000 Indian troops urgently dispatched from India by the British, and more than 50,000 local indigenous troops in Myanmar.  Although the total number has reached hundreds of thousands, the real combat effectiveness is only the more than 30,000 British troops.  Whether it is Indian Asan or Burmese natives, they are all vulnerable.

    The 22nd Division, 24th Division, 31st Division of the South China Military Region and the newly formed 71st Division and 72nd Division set out from Guangxi to attack the French Indochina Colony.  These armies will be divided into two groups. One group will be dominated by the 22nd Division and the 31st Division. They will attack Lang Son from Pingxiang, Guangxi, then go south to attack Taiyuan City, an important town in northern Vietnam, and then go south to attack Hanoi.  On the other side, the 31st Division and the newly formed 71st and 72nd Divisions attacked Vietnam's despicable Mong Cai from Dongxing, and advanced southward along the South China Sea, with the support of the navy.  , all the way to Saigon.  As for the hinterland of Indochina, it is gradually advancing.  As long as the French troops concentrated in Vietnam are eliminated, the Indochina colony will be obtained.  After the rise of China, in order to defend its Indochina colonies, France sent more than 100,000 people to its Indochina colonies, mainly in Vietnam.  In addition, there are more than 200,000 Indochinese indigenous troops.  It's just that French people with romantic nature may have high talents in the field of art, but in war, they are not so good.  The General Staff planned that five divisions, supported by the navy, would be enough to defeat the French and colonial armies in Indochina.

    Britain only has more than 10,000 regular troops in the Straits Settlements, and they are mainly concentrated in Singapore.  The rest are just more than 20,000 colonial native troops.  The 5th and 8th Marine Brigades are enough to sweep these British troops.

    At this moment, the navy's fleet has escorted the two marine brigades to the South China Sea.  The 8th Marine Brigade can land on Kalimantan today.  The 5th Marine Brigade will not be able to launch an attack on Singapore until tomorrow.

    After the battle broke out, it went very smoothly.  The four divisions of the Southwest Military Region severely damaged the British troops in the editing area, annihilated more than 10,000 British troops and more than 30,000 indigenous troops, and entered Myanmar in one fell swoop.  The troops of the South China Military Region also defeated the French Army and the Indochina indigenous army in Lang Son and Mong Cai respectively, annihilating tens of thousands of enemies and entering Vietnam.

    The 8th Marine Brigade, escorted by the navy, landed in Bandar Seri Begawan, defeated the British troops defending this area, and began to wipe out the British troops and indigenous troops on Kalimantan Island.  The war began to develop in a direction favorable to China.  (To be continued.)
