Chapter 7: Doomsday Disaster (II)

With the help of the Air Force, and the main force of the trains and railways that can still be used after renovations, the travel speed of the main force of the Southward Group has been greatly accelerated. By March 10, the transportation trunk line from Digboy in the north and from Sirjer in the south has been controlled by the People's Army. Under the radiation of the traffic trunk line, the strategic points such as Dura and Shillong in the Kashi Mountains, and Mogogjong, Koshima, Ukruhr, and Impal in the Naga Mountains were also controlled by the People's Army.

When they entered Sirge, Chen Zhiyuan led the main force of Nanjin Group to rest for 4 days. First, to relieve the tension and fatigue of the troops since their march; second, to wait for the supplement of logistics supplies, especially fuel and "mixed surfaces", and third, to speed up the construction of several simple airports so that their subsequent march can be effectively cooperated by the Air Force.

Although the number of mice in the mountains has increased a lot since the march from Disbury to the east, highly corrupt corpses or bones can still be seen from time to time in the waist-high dead grass. Although the number of mice in the mountains has decreased compared to the road, it also requires a lot of manpower and material resources to deal with it carefully. For more than 20 days, dealing with corpses and rats continuously, and when they reach a place with a little more crowded population, it is time for the officers and soldiers to relieve them.

However, this so-called large population is only compared to the area Chen Zhiyuan and others have seen before. At present, the Nanjin Group has not occupied Tripura and Mizoram, but has controlled the vast majority of the British India Assam Province. The 89 million population originally had in the controlled area, but now there is only about 3 million. In addition, Tripura and Mizoram, the remaining total population in the entire Assam region is only about 4 million. In other words, due to the severe epidemic that has continued to date, the population of the entire Assam region has shrunk by more than half. In other words, due to the severe epidemic that has continued to date, the population of the entire Assam region has shrunk by more than half.

Assam, which has many mountainous areas and relatively low population density, is in such a miserable situation. What will the Bangladesh region, which is located on the plains and has a highly dense population? Chen Zhiyuan and others really dare not imagine it.

As for the airport, although the y-1 transport aircraft took off from Thimphu in Bhutan and could fly over all the current control areas of Nanjin Group, considering that several other airports were built later, the y-1 type was unable to effectively cooperate with the Nanjin Group to march south by the limited take-off and landing of Thimphu Airport alone. Therefore, after Chen Zhiyuan and others took over Gohati, they reported to Zhao Zhenzhong for approval to build an airport in Gohati.

Take off from Gaohati, the y-1 aircraft not only can reach the entire Assam and Chittagong area, but also has a significant increase in air stagnation time. Before the construction of several airports in the eastern region originally planned by Zhao Zhenzhong, only Gaohati airport can effectively provide support to the Air Force, thus cooperating with the follow-up operations of Nanjin Group.

Using the components transported by the logistics department, the Nanjin Group's engineering regiment has successively assembled more than 30 construction machinery such as bulldozers, forklifts, excavators, etc., and there is also cement that has taken moisture-proof measures. It is not difficult for the Engineering regiment to open a flat cement floor in Gaohati for aircraft take-off and landing in one week.

On March 15, Nanjin Group acted again with the cooperation of the Air Force. On this day, Zhao Zhenzhong called Chen Zhiyuan and others: "After investigation, the waterway in Chittagong area was not blocked and available. However, the berth of the port terminal was abandoned for one year, and cleaning and epidemic prevention measures were required. Therefore, your department must arrive in Chittagong before April 5 and complete all preparations before April 10 to receive overseas materials."

Although Chittagong has a long history and is a famous port, it is not located by the sea, but on the ridge of the Hidagonda hills on the right bank of the lower reaches of the Gornopri River, 16 kilometers away from the estuary. In order to transport oil, tea, and agricultural products from the Assam region to the outside, the British and Indian authorities have built many docks in Chittagong, and the berths are usually at a depth of 6 deep. The port has cranes and other equipment, and ten-ton cargo ships can enter the port along a 198-274-meter-wide channel.

As mentioned earlier, although Chittagong is famous, its status is not as good as Yangon Port in Myanmar to the east and Cunning Port in Kolkata to the west. Before the 1930s, Chittagong could not dock ships of 10,000 tons or above. The production of Assam and Bangladesh was previously transported by the British to the outside by freighters below 10,000 tons. However, when Huamei launched container transport ships and oil tankers of 10,000 tons in the early 1930s, and Rockefeller and Huamei successfully developed oil fields in central Sumatra, in order to increase the competitiveness of relevant products, the British and Indian authorities expanded and deepened oil shipments such as Chittagong. This enabled Chittagong to have the ability to dock cargo ships of 10,000 tons or above.

After receiving the telegram from Zhao Zhenzhong at the end of January, Tang Ming arranged for the Australian fleet to go to Yangon, Myanmar to take advantage of the opportunity to go to Yangon, Myanmar to explore the situation in Chittagong under the pretext of seeking tea business opportunities. Although the investigators did not land because they avoided the epidemic, they saw no abnormalities in the waterway and berths except for the lack of people on the dock and the equipment was severely rusted. Judging from the water depth, it is no problem to dock a 30,000-ton cargo ship, and it is also feasible to dock a 50,000-ton ship at high tide.

Therefore, through e-commerce with Zhao Zhenzhong, Tang Ming decided to transport materials and personnel to Chittagong during the spring tide and the Bay of Bengal tide season, and determined the transportation plan and arrival time.

"There is more than 600 kilometers of railway journey from Sirjer to Chittagong. Even if we have to clean up dead people and dead mice along the way, we can arrive within 10 days." Yu Zhenshan is very confident, "The extra time can be prepared more."

"Time should be enough, but we can't take it lightly." Chen Zhiyuan was just cautiously optimistic. "From the situation discovered by the Air Force, the plains west of the railway line and east of the Garney River are almost an unmanned area, in addition to being close to the Tripura area in the eastern region, and the flooding of rats is more serious than what we have experienced before. In addition, the Air Force can only cooperate with us in the area north of Rakham, and the remaining nearly 200 kilometers to Chittagong, and Cox Bazar, 150 kilometers southeast of Chittagong, are all up to us, it's not easy."

Due to the closed epidemic area, except for a few places with radio signals that need to be paid attention to, the People's Army Air Force can basically operate in the entire airspace. However, ships often pass by in the Bay of Bengal. In order to avoid premature discovery from the outside world, the Air Force temporarily stopped over Rakham dozens of kilometers away from the sea.

After pausing, Chen Zhiyuan said again: "My opinion is that with the cooperation of the Air Force, we will take up to 3 days to advance to Rakham by train, and then in about 10 days to advance to Chittagong. The remaining time is for us to clear the port, carry out epidemic prevention, and advance into Cox Bazar."

Considering that the railway situation was undecided before, and the epidemic and rat disaster were far more serious than before, Chen Zhiyuan's arrangement was reasonable in terms of time. Yu Zhenshan and Cheng Weiyuan also nodded in agreement.

"I wonder, why do you think there are so many rats here? Could it be that the rat spirit who captured Tang Sanzang in "Journey to the West" came from this place back then?" Cheng Weiyuan said with a thoughtful thought.

"Just think about it." Li Wenyong teased, "The novel is about myths, stories, and not true. Although Buddhism originated in India, how can you see the slightest Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss here? Do you still want to meet a delicate mother rat spirit here?"

"You've brought people here to make a documentary, but you don't even understand the origin of art from life." Cheng Weiyuan has learned some Buddhist allusions from the translator who followed the troops these days, and said unwillingly, "The Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss is impossible. At present, the silence of sentient beings is a bit serious. Besides, even if there is really a mother rat spirit, it's definitely the same as the residents here, black and black. I heard from the gentleman that there is a Bengal tiger here, so be careful not to be taken away by the tiger."

"Whether the mother rat spirit or the tigress, before the epidemic is completely eliminated, we are not allowed to have too much contact with local residents except for medical staff, and we are not allowed to eat any local meat. This is discipline." Yu Zhenshan also joked with Li and Cheng with great interest.

"There are so many rats that have a lot to do with the natural environment and the epidemic here." Chen Zhiyuan only smiled at the joke of several people, but said, "It is said that rats are 'one male and one mother, two hundred and five years a year'. This is still the underdeveloped crop production in northern China. In Shannan, it can be cooked twice or even three times a year. It is not cold in winter. There are many foods in the plains, and there are not many natural enemies. In addition, the population has died in large numbers after the outbreak of the epidemic. It is strange that this rat can be cooked with meat and vegetables. It is not easy to have a lot of food."

However, in the plains east of the Garney and Mekna Rivers and west of the Tripura Mountains, there is another reason for the large number of rats. Although Bangladesh often suffers from flooding, it is connected to the Tripura Mountains east of the rivers by land. When floods occur, many rats will escape to the mountains in high places in the east with their natural vigilance and return to the plains after the flood.

Compared with rats, the residents of this area have no ability to detect disaster signs and are reluctant to leave their homes. Floods often bring them a disaster and cause a large number of casualties. This provides rats who return to the plains after the floods to expand their teams.

After talking about mouse questions, Chen Zhiyuan and others led the troops forward according to the established arrangement.

Although Nanjin Group has encountered serious difficulties and has paid the price of hundreds of people's sacrifices so far, the entire operation is still very successful. After Zhao Zhen was slightly more relaxed in the center, he made a series of arrangements with Tian Yunyi.

Military supplies are transported by the Logistics Department. After taking epidemic prevention measures, the two teams of railway construction and oil production must also send personnel to Shannan one after another.

As for the Construction Corps, although the epidemic has not been completely eliminated and the epidemic prevention materials are a little tight, so it is impossible to dispatch a large number of people to Shannan, but it is still feasible to send tens of thousands of young and strong people who have been vaccinated to farm on both sides of the Bumalaputra River. In this way, after the summer harvest, the logistical pressure will be significantly reduced, and it is also easy to deal with the domestic situation.

Of course, Zhao Zhenzhong did not forget Ma Bufang and others who had led the team to southern Xinjiang. It is time for Ma to let Nanshan be released now.

With the cooperation of the People's Army's security department, taking advantage of the New Year, Ma Hongkui stepped forward to work on the former Ningma army and the leading figures of Ningxia Muslims. The Ma Bufang brothers lobbied Yuan Qingma, Qinghai and Gansu Muslims, and the action to summon Muslims was much smoother than expected.

For the captured Ningma and Qingma people, although life will be more stable, the labor reform in recent years has been difficult. Moreover, after fighting these years, most people will not be separated. Instead of leaving a difficult life, it is better to go out and have fun. Besides, the big nose on the other side of the mountain may not be stronger than the People's Army, and it is unknown whether it is possible to make a name for this. Therefore, not only the captured Qingma, but also the Muslims in Ningma are willing to go, but even the other captured Muslims who were detained by the Xijin Group were also very moved. In this regard, Zhao Zhenzhong decided to let go together.

In addition to the captured people, some Muslims in Qinghai and Gansu were suppressed by the People's Army for their rebellion. Some people involved were worried that the People's Army would settle the accounts later, and they were willing to follow Ma Bufang and others to go south.

In this way, before the first month of the year came, after counting, there were more than 70,000 Muslim young and strong people who were willing to leave with Ma Bufang and others, which was not considered the family of these people.

In early March, Zhao Zhenzhong asked the Logistics Department to arrange a train to send more than 30,000 Muslims from Ningxia, Qinghai and Gansu to Xinjiang, and met more than 30,000 Muslims detained in Xinjiang to go to southern Xinjiang. In southern Xinjiang, more than 7,000 Muslims who were afraid of being killed by the Ninth Column also joined the team of Ma Bufang and others.

After rushing to southern Xinjiang and reorganizing more than 70,000 people, Ma Bufang and others set the date of departure on March 19.

On March 19, just as the Muslim troops were ready to go in Puli and Ma Bufang himself was about to leave, Zhao Zhenzhong appeared.

"Chairman Zhao, why are you here?" Zhao Zhenzhong's appearance surprised the Ma Bufang brothers.

"Mr. Ma, I promised to give you a farewell. You are about to set off now, so of course I have to fly over to fulfill my promise." Zhao Zhenzhong smiled, "What? Mr. Ma is not welcome?"

"Whether, Ma can't even invite a person like Chairman Zhao." After these contacts and seeing the changes in the northwest, Ma Bufang was already worried about the young man in front of him.

"Equipment, food, clothing, medicine, and radio stations are all ready, right?" Zhao Zhenzhong asked with concern.

"Thank you very much for Chairman Zhao's kindness, Minister Zou of your department and Commander Zhang of Xinjiang, who provided us with many conveniences. Everything is fine at present." Not only was he grateful, Ma Bufang also felt extremely moved. He had never put together a 70,000 army of guns and cannons for so many years, but when he was tortured by the People's Army and even became prisoners, he was operating from time to time. With such a situation at the moment, it was even possible that the country would be divided into changes in the world in the south of the mountain. It was so wonderful that it was so wonderful that the world was changed in this area.

"I have mentioned everything I should say to Mr. Ma before. I will only mention it a little here." Zhao Zhenzhong paused and said, "When I get there, we must not relax military affairs, but we must pay more attention to political offensives. Although Mr. Ma has tens of thousands of troops at present, after all, the people and the land are separated, so we should not rely on force alone. It is best to join forces with local Muslim forces to put pressure on the British and Indian authorities. This will result twice as much as possible."

"Ma remembers Chairman Zhao's good words in mind." Ma Bufang replied, "Last time, Mr. Zhao mentioned the man named Jinna. I will definitely focus on searching after I get there."

"It's good if Mr. Ma remembered it." Zhao Zhenzhong smiled, took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it over, "The army is starting, I can't invite everyone to drink and eat. This is a little bit of fun. Mr. Ma can use it in Shannan."

"What's this?" Ma Bufang took it and did not open it, but looked at Zhao Zhenzhong.

"There are several pound checks issued by Standard Chartered Bank in the UK. They can be cashed in big cities in British India, and they can be used urgently." Zhao Zhenzhong didn't say much, "Mr. Ma, don't be polite, accept it."

"Since that's the case, then Ma will be disrespectful." Ma Bufang bowed and took it away. Anyway, the 70,000 troops are all from Zhao Zhenzhong. If there is another military expenditure, then it will be the same.

After hesitating for a moment, Ma Bufang couldn't help asking: "Chairman Zhao raised Ma with all his might, and Ma was grateful. However, Ma was confused. What are the benefits of Chairman Zhao's sponsorship to your party and army?"

"I might as well tell the truth to Mr. Ma. Let you go to Shannan to incite Muslims to oppose the British and Indian authorities, which is to cause trouble for the British so that they have no time to take care of our actions in southern Tibet. We have already met the Soviet Union, and Japan will definitely face domestic competition in the future. Even if the British on the other side of the mountain have to think of delaying the time. Of course, if possible, we also want to take back the territory of Shannan Tibet." Zhao Zhenzhong said bluntly, "Mr. Ma's trip is for the Muslims and Mr. Ma to fight for territory themselves, but it is also equivalent to helping our People's Army to contain the British and Indian authorities."

Ma Bufang and Ma Buqing suddenly realized. Although it was uncomfortable to be exploited by others, the Ma brothers thought about it carefully and could only continue after knowing the truth. The reason was that Zhao Zhenzhong's move was of great benefit to Ma Bufang and others. It was to take advantage of the situation and openly conspiracy. Besides, if there was no benefit in the northwest, Zhao Zhenzhong was not stupid, so how could he send people and equipment and supplies? How could he come to send military expenses before the troops set off?

"Chairman Zhao is honest and admirable." After understanding the joints in the second thought, Ma Bufang bowed and said, "No matter what, the past grudges will be wiped out Chairman Zhao's friendship, Ma remembers it in his heart."

Zhao Zhenzhong did not wait much, and after explaining to the Ma brothers and sending him off, he flew back to Lanzhou.

"Bu Fang, how much did Zhao Zhenzhong give? We almost wiped out our property, but we ran here to give people favors? It's hypocritical." Ma Buqing was still a little dissatisfied with Zhao Zhenzhong, so he asked on the march.

Ma Bufang was a little helpless. His elder brother and his uncle had been together for a long time, and under the influence, he also valued money and property. He didn't think about how the 70,000 troops and equipment came from now.

After Ma Bufang opened the envelope on the horse's back, he found that there were a stack of 12 Standard Chartered Bank checks, each with a denomination of 10,000 pounds.

Seeing the 120,000 pound check, even though Ma Buqing on the side complained, he was stunned: "This Zhao Zhenzhong is so big, it's equivalent to two million oceans."

"So many?" Ma Bufang was also stunned.

"I heard that Nanjing was going to implement fiat currency reform. I discussed the prices between gold, US dollars, pounds and oceans with my uncle and Jin Shuren in Xinjiang." Ma Buqing stared at the check and his eyes shone. "According to the current price comparison, about 6 pounds can be exchanged for 100 oceans. Isn't this 120,000 pounds equivalent to two million oceans?"

"Since that's the case, brother should stop thinking about the little property confiscated by the northwest in the future. With people, guns, cannons, and food and wages, we can go there to create a bigger family business," Ma Bufang said with the opportunity.

"Then we have to wait until we create it." Although the resentment in my heart subsided, Ma Buqing's mouth was still hard enough.

In this way, from March 19 to March 24, Ma Bufang led tens of thousands of troops through the Hongqirafu Pass controlled by the Ninth Column of the People's Army, entered Kashmir, British India, and began his experience of riding the horses and mountain south.

Ma Bufang and others just started their journey in Shannan, but the People's Army's Nanjin Group's operation was over. After a lot of hardships along the way, Chen Zhiyuan and others finally arrived in Chittagong on March 27. In addition to the Cox Bazar, 150 kilometers southeast, still waiting to be occupied, Nanjin Group has basically achieved its original strategic goal.

Since the beginning, in addition to encountering more than 40 gunmen in the Digboi Oilfield and Silgeir and other places, Nanjin Group has not seen any organized and large-scale resistance in more than a month. Despite this, the pressure and dangers faced by Nanjin Group are no less than any large-scale battle.

During the war, officers and soldiers could relax during the break and even seize the time to sleep. However, since they advanced to Shannan, the officers and soldiers of the entire Nanjin Group were tense. Even during the four days of rest, everyone dared not take it lightly. Moreover, the epidemic has not yet been eliminated, and the depression brought about by fighting against invisible enemies still exists. If you want to truly relax, you must completely eliminate the epidemic, which is not something that can be accomplished in the short term.

After arriving in Chittagong, Chen Zhiyuan and others began to understand the situation and deploy relevant defense, epidemic prevention and port cleaning work.

Chittagong in this era is far less prosperous than later generations, and the situation in Richtagong in recent years was quite bumpy. In April 1930, just as the great crisis swept the capital world, Chittagong had turmoil against the British and Indian authorities. Some people robbed the port's arsenal and caused considerable damage to the port. Later, under the impact of the British and Indian authorities' suppression and the great crisis, Chittagong was in a depressed state for several years. 34 years later, Chittagong gradually recovered, but it suffered an unprecedented epidemic last spring and has continued to this day.

In addition to the surrounding areas, Chittagong area originally had hundreds of thousands of people. However, under the sweeping of the epidemic, the entire port is now a dead port. In addition to those who died of illness, other people either used the port to escape to other areas or entered the Aragan Mountains in the east to escape.

With foreign sea routes, railway commercial transportation is interrupted, daily necessities are scarce, even without the epidemic, a commercial port cannot guarantee the survival of hundreds of thousands of people. When the epidemic breaks out, watching and listening to the familiar or unfamiliar people around you fall every day, no living person can calm down.

Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths. Faced with unprecedented threats of the epidemic and the panic caused by this, hundreds of thousands of people showed their magical powers to make a living, except those who died of illness. Those who were incompetent or unable to leave had almost died of illness or were hungry in the past year. After arriving in Chittagong, Chen Zhiyuan ordered people to search the entire port area carefully, but only found hundreds of men, women, young and old who struggled to survive on moldy rice in a dilapidated warehouse.

What surprised Chen Zhiyuan and others was that among the more than 420 weak people, there were 175 overseas Chinese. When they heard that the accent of the People's Army officers and soldiers had different accents, but it was obviously Chinese Mandarin, they were excited, and the 175 men who survived the disaster all cried and said and compared them, and finally the medical staff who treated them understood the origin of these overseas Chinese.

These people came from Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Lianghu. They basically went to Yangon, Myanmar to make a living after the flood in the south in 31 years. Later, they were recruited by a company and sent to Chittagong. A few years later, these people finally learned the local language and could make a living together, but they encountered an outbreak of the epidemic. There was no way to escape, so everyone had to rely on the rice in the warehouse they were guarding. If the People's Army did not come, these people would probably end up waiting for death. As for the other more than 200 people, they were poor people who came from northern Myanmar to work, and they were familiar with these overseas Chinese.

As for locals who are familiar with the surrounding situation, as long as they do not die prematurely, they either leave by car or by railway, or leave by boat or by sea, or walk to the Alagan Mountains, they have escaped with their families. But Chen Zhiyuan and others know that the epidemic area is so wide that it is difficult for others to have a good ending except for those who are not infected and leave British India on a boat, who can escape their lives.

After settling down these people who survived the disaster, Chen Zhiyuan and others reported the relevant situation to Zhao Zhenzhong, while cleaning up the entire Chittagong to prepare for the arrival of overseas supplies. At the same time, a force was sent to advance towards Cox Bazar in the southeast.

Chen Zhiyuan and others were not waiting in Chittagong for a long time. On April 3, two container ships with a load of 50,000 tons took advantage of the spring tide in the Bay of Bengal, and the water depth of Chittagong berth was nearly 11 meters.

The two ships claimed to take European routes, departing from the Port of New York, across the Atlantic Ocean, crossing the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, and the Arabian Sea. After entering the Gulf of Bengal, they did not run towards the Strait of Malacca, but took the opportunity to enter Chittagong.

As mentioned earlier, Chittagong is not located by the sea, but is connected to the Bay of Bengal through a 16-kilometer long channel. However, the 16-kilometer long channel is not straight, but in the shape of "s". In this way, as long as the ship enters the channel and travels for a distance, it is blocked by buildings and hills, the virtual reality of Chittagong cannot be found from the direction of the Bay of Bengal.

Before the outbreak, there were only a few ships to ports near Chittagong and Kolkata in the northern Bay of Bengal, but due to the outbreak, the northern waters of the Bay of Bengal have become a place to avoid during shipping. Even ships that had to pass through the Strait of Malacca also sailed to the Andaman Sea in the southern Bay of Bengal early and then rushed to the Strait.

The characteristics of the waterway and the impact of the epidemic are also the basis for Zhao Zhenzhong to implement the overseas material replenishment plan now.

"Commander Chen, you need more help in the unloading work." After meeting Chen Zhiyuan at the Nanjin Group Command Center, Fang Haitao, who led the team, made a request, "We are just the first to attack the front station, and more ships will arrive later, but we need to step up."

Fang Haitao and Ruan Mingbo were the first to accept the container ship concept proposed by Zhao Zhenzhong and accompany them to the implementation. Later, Ruan Mingbo was arranged by Zhao Zhenzhong to focus on submarine manufacturing, while Fang Haitao specialized in surface ship direction. After studying and working in the United States for 12 years, Fang Haitao has become an expert in ship manufacturing. When he arrived in Chittagong, he will assume the heavy responsibility of building surface ships for the People's Army Navy. The equipment required for building docks and shipbuilding will also arrive in subsequent fleets.

"The more you come, the better, we will cooperate with each other." When Chen Zhiyuan heard more supplies were coming, he was very happy and agreed, "You are an expert, and we will do whatever you say."

Chen Zhiyuan and Fang Haitao also met at the Second Congress of the People's Party held last year, but they were not very familiar with each other. The two felt very intimate this time.

"However, the epidemic here has not yet been eliminated, and all comrades who arrive here must take preventive measures. Let the medical staff check your health, then give you a few injections, and take the medicine on time."

"It should be. I heard before I came that the epidemic here is very serious. We also brought a batch of medicines and epidemic prevention materials to replenish them after unloading the ship." Fang Haitao had no objection to Chen Zhiyuan's arrangements.

If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of the subsequent fleet and load and unload the materials quickly, many of these materials brought by Fang Haitao are specially used for loading and unloading of materials from ports and terminals and dredging of waterways. Otherwise, the equipment that is severely rusted by Chittagong alone will definitely not be able to undertake high-strength operations.

Since two 10,000 tons of freighters entered the port on April 3, Chen Zhiyuan mobilized more than 10,000 officers and soldiers to carry out shifts, specifically responsible for unloading the ship. In addition to the equipment and materials that were first to be used were assembled by engineering and technical personnel who came back with Fang Haitao and used for loading and unloading of docks, some cars and construction machinery were also used to speed up the opening of material storage places near the docks.

Most other containers are transported to warehouses or flat ground near the dock, and then piled up after moisture prevention measures. Now it is too late and there is no ability to transport these materials to the rear in the short term, so they can only be temporarily dealt with first.

By April 9, the cargo on the two freighters was unloaded and drove out of the dock at night and turned to Australia. However, without waiting for Chen Zhiyuan and others to take a breath, on April 10 and 11, five 50,000-ton freighters that were slowly sailing on the nearby sea entered the waterway near Chittagong after receiving the telegram.

There is only one terminal that can dock 50,000-ton cargo ships, and another 10,000-ton cargo ships are being expanded. These five cargo ships can only park on the dredged waterway first.

With the increase in loading and unloading equipment assembled and put into use, starting from April 15, when the beginning and end are unloaded at the same time, the time required for unloading each ship is greatly reduced, and it can be unloaded in one day and night.

By May 16, Chen Zhiyuan and others completed the unloading mission of 33 350,000-ton cargo ships, and 11 cargo ships waiting to be unloaded were parked in the dock and the 16-kilometer waterway. However, at this time, the situation in British India had undergone great changes, and the People's Army's actions in Shannan were also revealed, and the operation of materials would be over.
