Chapter 55
.On April 7, the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, which had been using the excuse of the fact that the troops had suffered too much loss in the just-concluded Battle of Mandalay and needed a long rest as an excuse, could not resist the repeated urging of Scherwei, who was so anxious that he jumped up and down, barely issued a combat mobilization order for the remnants of the Japanese Burmese Front, which was entrenched in the Qin settlement area at the border between India and Myanmar.
Seeing that the Chinese army was really going to mobilize troops to work for themselves, the British military, who was harassed frequently by the small Japanese troops, immediately showed 120,000 enthusiasm and vigilance! General Wewell, who was in charge of New Delhi, sent two elite divisions originally stationed in the hinterland of India to fight thousands of miles away with Chinese allies; on the other hand, through various official and unofficial channels, he solemnly conveyed such a message to the White House, Chongqing, and the senior executives of the Expeditionary Force, no matter what the situation is, the Chinese army cannot cross the Indian border. Otherwise, the heroic and powerful British army will
Forced to use all necessary means to safeguard the interests of the British Empire! What's more, the British diplomats in the United States have already waved the US dollar and pounds and moved around in the US Congress, brewing a timetable for the British Empire to return to Myanmar to the glorious return of the British Empire. The arrogant and arrogant British people who were strong outside and worked at the middle of the country were entrusted by Lieutenant General Luo who had personally led a partial division to Yangon to coordinate the tactical actions of the various troops participating in the border clearance operation. They also issued some harsh orders to the divisions and regiments, and stipulated a pursuit deadline that was dozens of kilometers away from the India-Myanmar border that was very satisfied by the British and Scherway!
Under the command of Cheng Jiaji, the 100,000 Chinese troops first traveled day and night, but as soon as they arrived at the war zone, they immediately changed their faces. They fully developed the fine tradition of fearing death, fearing hardship, and fearing the middle ground. Under the guidance of the cavalry searching force, they used the absolute safe speed of noon (to prevent Japanese air raids, resting during the day.) to squeeze through the Central Plains gradually with an absolute safe speed of only thirty miles, using a super conservative tactic of holding a group into a group.
Perhaps it was because of the fate of Cheng Jiaji's old friend, who had long been in love with him. The response of the Japanese army was exactly what Cheng Jiaji wanted.
The tentacles of China have just been connected with the scattered troops sent by the Japanese army to conquer grain. The main force of the Japanese army, the largest city in Chin State, had long been gathered in India, which was largely in the largest city of Haqqa, Qin State, and forcibly captured Aizaor, the important border town of the border before the British reinforcements arrived. In this battle, the Japanese army not only defeated a Sikh brigade in the British army, but more importantly, they also seized the British side's stolen materials from the Tonggudi aid China material warehouse and transferred the transport of nearly 10,000 tons of various military supplies gathered here, including tens of thousands of American-made guns in the mainland. The dazzling unexpected harvest was so generous that it stimulated the Japanese army, which had been sluggish since the loss in the Battle of Mandalay. The morale has soared. Looking back at the decisive battle with the Chinese people. The waves have been higher and higher.
There is a huge gap in military power comparison between the Chinese and Japanese armies at this time. The Central Plains, which has a clear understanding, did not forcefully suppress the young and strong officers who suffered from irritability, but instead put forward a huge plan, "Indian Strategy".
At that moment, a group of Japanese officers eager to avenge their former shame were all attacked by their commander's whimsical imagination. But after coming back to their senses and pondering them in detail, they had to admit that the plan was undoubtedly a magical pill for our side who were lonely in the enemy's territory, surrounded by enemies and were at risk of life at any time. And from that perspective, if everything goes well, it can also severely attack the British's ruling foundation in India at a strategic level.
Of course, if you don’t pass the level of the two purebred British divisions who were rushing towards you with murderous intent, this vast and grand plan is just a tower in the air. Fortunately, the mountains and rivers are rugged and the rivers are crisscrossing. With the current strength of the Japanese army, they will fight the British army head-on. Although they are not as strong as possible, they can defend them according to the danger and drag them for a while.
After a tense battle of wits and courage, the Japanese army, which suffered heavy casualties, finally defended several key mountain passes with the full support of the Japanese air force based on Thailand. Thus, they controlled the 70,000-80,000 square kilometers of area centered on Aizaoer. The life and death of nearly three million people who have lived here for generations was also held by the Japanese army.
As a result, a magnificent social change that made the entire civilized world dizzy and changed the life trajectory of countless people, made a magnificent debut on the simple Indian Plateau.
As we all know, in India, a country that strictly implements a splendid system for thousands of years, human beings are divided into four levels from top to bottom: the first level, Brahmins with religious people such as monks as the main body; the second level, the dignitaries in charge of secular power, including emperors, local kings, officials, etc., are called Dili; the third type is civilians and merchants who only enjoy the two political powers of payment and service. Although the Vaishya is exploited and oppressed by the upper level, the safety of life and property and personal dignity are often not guaranteed. However, like the fourth-class Shudra, the Vaishyas live in heaven again.
The all-round discrimination and exploitation that tens of millions of Shudras had not only been the veritable world number one at that time. The endless suffering he had to bear was even more than that of the American black slaves in "Uncle Tom's Cabin". At least, the owners of the southern United States generally would not strip the black slaves of worship and believe in the power of gods. Shudra was regarded by Indian society as a pariah who could not enter the cycle of reincarnation and had no honor to have any form of spiritual communication with God. As for the iron laws of various social hierarchies such as the inability to intermarry, the inability to interact, etc., there are countless. However, the Central Plains Rules, which are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, chose the article on the system of nature.
Starting from April 22, the Japanese army began to carry out organized and premeditated extermination of the Kshatriya in the Ayzaur area.
The whole process was like this. The Japanese army first broke into the door and dragged all the Kshatriyas in every manor and mansion out of the house. If there was any resistance, they would kill them on the spot. The tamers who performed well were taken to designated locations by the Japanese army to massacre.
Every time the Japanese army killed a family, they would allocate everything that these superiors owned to the local heads of the local people one by one.
The bloody massacre lasted for a whole week. There were 43,000 Kshatriya, who were bound together by dozens of Shudras who were threatened by the Japanese army, and drowned in the moat under the city of Aizaor. In addition to those who were shot and burned at home... According to incomplete statistics, the total number of victims reached nearly 200,000. A month later, the Times had a detailed serial report on the massacre that occurred in the Aizaor area with the title of the Second Nanjing.
In fact, it was already familiar with the massacre of civilians. It took only two days to take away the lives of all the Kshatriya families in the area. However, it is hard to tell whether the land hidden in the hearts of the Japanese officers and soldiers was born in the hearts of the Japanese army. If it was released, its cruelty and cruelty was greatly exceeded the expectations of senior Japanese officers. Many years later, a lucky escape from the punishment land. Tadasen Nagashinobu, who was then the deputy chief of staff of the 18th Division, wrote in his memoir: "At the emergency meeting of the division on the 25th, both brigade leaders said that the behavior of the troops was no longer controlled. If they were to forcibly blocked, the commanders of the troops at all levels would be immediately backfired by soldiers who had lost their minds and would die without a place to die."
Although the above statements were often referred to by the world as a ruling word, Yongxinzhong became a nonsense saying to escape his own responsibilities. However, it is an indisputable fact that some Japanese soldiers in Aizaoer City suddenly set fire everywhere on the evening of the 26th, turning half of the city into ashes, and burying nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers who were unable to retreat were buried in the sea of fire. Of course, ordering to kill 50,000 to 60,000 civilians and ordering to kill 200,000 civilians, are no different in nature and degree. They are all tragic massacres and are heinous crimes that are difficult to write! No one can deny this! In this sense, it is also worthy to sentence all more than 10,000 Japanese officers and soldiers who created this horrific atrocities to death, with the 18th Division as the main body of the Japanese army, which was responsible for this horrific atrocities, were sentenced to death!
In this way, in the next few days, the Japanese soldiers swung the bloody butcher knife in their hands towards the merchants and wealthier civilians in the city, and even the Shudras who had strictly ordered to protect and win over them.
The massacre was naturally just a means of the Central Plains Rule, not his purpose. When it was already a city and a countryside with corpses everywhere and smelly smelled like a scent, the city and countryside gradually calmed down under the temporary expansion of the military military police corps, and large-scale conscription began! It can be imagined that those who voluntarily and involuntarily had more or less stained with the blood of Kshatriya, which was once dirty even after stomping on them, were mostly the Shudras, who had no choice.
The choice was to tie himself to the Japanese chariot. And because the Japanese army had planned it for a long time, there were more than 20,000 volunteers alone. In addition, more than 10,000 professional bandits and unemployed people joined the Japanese army. As a result, the number of Japanese Burmese Front troops was so fierce that they had reached more than 70,000. Although these 40,000 new recruits had not received basic military training, their deep hatred for the old system and the reality that they could not turn back made them unfair.
The only thing that is lacking in fighting to the last breath is that the British army with excellent equipment and well-trained training is the spirit of dying to the point of death and having to bite the opponent. The Japanese army got this main force, and with just a little training, they kept throwing them into the main passes of the Yamaguchi that was in a confrontation state, and went to fight instead of training. Not to mention what role they would play in the battle situation. The birth of these tens of thousands of Indian Japanese troops alone represents the political significance.
It is amazing. You should know that with these 30,000 military families who enjoy relatively preferential treatment as basic people, combined with the acquisition of property, land, and female slave Shudra from the Japanese army, a huge vested interest group has been generally formed. This means that the Japanese army has a broad and deep mass base here. Even if there are more than a dozen or hundreds of thousands of soldiers, it will not be an easy task to drive the Japanese army out of this area!
The British colonial authorities, who had always regarded the Dili class as a powerful tool, were frightened to the point of being frightened. The Dili, who lived on the edge of Ayer, fled to the heart of India. Even New Delhi, had many riots initiated by the restless leader Tuola. The roots of the thousands of years of inequality were concentrated and broke out overnight. If it weren't for the scheming Weiville's proper dispatch, and the Dili in various places had also made money, people and guns to support the British army in maintaining public order, almost causing an unfathomable disaster. However, in this way, the British army's mobile forces were tied up everywhere and could not escape for a while. The culprit of the Myanmar Front would be powerless.
Against this backdrop of storms, the British who loved face no longer cared about their face. General Weiville, who had resisted the Chinese army's entry into India, urged Cheng Jiaji's troops to enter the country to help with the suppression within one day.
Cheng Jiaji, who was afraid of the infinite power of the national war, was amazed at the great aptitude of Zhongyuan Rules, and he would also take away the British fire. It was a coincidence that the Japanese troops stationed in Thailand who received reinforcements were already ready to move, which was just a good reason for Cheng Jiaji to return to Myanmar.
When the army arrived in Mandalay, another amazing news came to Cheng Jiaji's ears. Scherwei, who was guiding the Chinese army to fight on the battlefield without any suspense, was in a big light. When this American lieutenant general was shot in the chest by a stray bullet of unknown origin, his life was in danger!
Cheng Jiaji, who knew that Scherwei would not die at this moment, hurriedly handed over the troops to Chief Qiu, Wen Songyuan and others to control them. He led the military medical director Sato Shuwen, who had a high level of attainment in surgery, to Yangon, which had been successfully captured by the Chinese army.
