Chapter 603 The Most Civilized Pursuers
No matter what kind of fighting method he used, General Watson was sure that he could not withstand such intensive artillery bombardment.
With this density of artillery fire, all his men would be blown to the sky in a few days. Finally, he decided to pack up and run away.
There is only one way out, which is to retreat to the south. Retreating to the south is also a good option. You can retreat to the south and take a boat back to India.
He had no choice but to retreat south, he couldn't get out anywhere else.
If the enemy did not attack, General Watson could not escape in such a mess, so he ordered all military supplies to be packed up and retreat calmly.
If you run, I will chase you. Luo Shixin's three armies are still following slowly behind.
At first, the British and Indian forces were very scared, fearing that the pursuers behind them would be too aggressive.
But they never expected that even when they were resting at night, the pursuers did not launch a sneak attack, making them the most civilized pursuers.
In this way, a few days later, the British-Indian forces fled to Naypyidaw.
Naypyidaw is the most important military stronghold in southern Myanmar, where 30,000 British troops and 40,000 Indian troops are stationed.
In Loikaw, 150 kilometers east of Naypyidaw, there were 5,000 British troops and 10,000 Indian troops stationed.
General White was stationed in Naypyidaw. When he saw General Watson coming, he quickly opened the city gate to let them in.
They came, and Luo Shixin followed.
Luo Shixin's three armies, with nearly 200,000 people, surrounded the north, south and north sides of Naypyidaw, leaving only the east side unsieged.
The old trick is to surround them and bombard them with artillery.
General Watson told General White that we couldn't win the fight, so we should retreat.
General White refused to accept the defeat and ordered his soldiers to charge south, but as expected, they were pushed back by machine guns.
More than 3,000 people were killed in one charge, and General White was convinced.
We can’t wait to die, retreat!
They could only retreat eastward, which was the direction of Leigu.
They retreated to Lei Gu, and Luo Shixin's troops also chased to Lei Gu.
Now General Watson, General White and General Williams at the fortification have joined together, and the total force has reached 120,000.
Luo Shixin's more than 200,000 men surrounded the fort from the north, west and south.
The British-Indian forces tried to break out three times but failed, and another seven or eight thousand men died.
In the end, they had no choice but to head east into Siam.
Once you enter Siam, you will reach Mae Hong Son, where there are only more than 5,000 Siamese troops stationed.
They did not allow the British and Indian forces to come in. The British and Indian forces had nowhere to go, so they had to come in, and the two sides started fighting.
The fact that the British army could not defeat the new Chinese army does not mean that their combat effectiveness was particularly poor.
This is because the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army is too incredible. The gap between them and the Chinese army is several generations, which is an absolute dimensionality reduction attack.
There was still a big gap between the Siamese and Indian armies. When they met the British, they could only be beaten.
The result was that the Siamese army was completely wiped out before the 2,000 garrison troops in Chiang Mai could come to the rescue.
If more than 100,000 people can't defeat 5,000 people, they might as well find a piece of tofu and kill themselves.
Since the relationship had already fallen out, General Watson, General White and General Williams discussed and decided to take over Chiang Mai as well.
Otherwise, the place in Mae Hong Son is too small to display the skills.
As they marched eastward, they encountered two thousand Siamese soldiers coming to rescue from Chiang Mai, and took care of them immediately!
Luo Shixin's 100,000 troops followed the British-Indian forces but did not attack them. They just watched them fight the Siamese army.
After taking Chiang Mai, the British army breathed a sigh of relief. Since the Chinese would not chase them, they could rest here!
What are Luo Shixin's other 100,000 people doing?
They continued to fight from the north and west along the coast, advancing all the way to Bassein.
Then they chased the 10,000 enemy troops in Bassein eastward, and from south to north, they chased the 50,000 enemy troops in Rangoon and the 20,000 enemy troops in Pegu into Siam.
These 70,000-plus British-Indian troops entered Siam and took out their frustration at being bullied by the Chinese New Army on the Siamese.
They captured Dafu in one fell swoop, and because the people of Dafu helped the defenders to put up a desperate resistance, they massacred the city with blood after entering it.
Luo Shixin's troops drove more than 50,000 British and Indian troops from Hpa-an, Mawlamyine, Yacheng and Dawei to Kanchanaburi in Siam.
It was not that the British-Indian Allied Forces had to flee to Siam. The key point was that they were all blocked by Deng Yongchang. They couldn't escape even if they wanted to, unless they were not afraid of being fed to the fish and swimming to India.
At this point, the entire territory of Myanmar was recovered.
Yining was dragging his weak body to eat the New Year's banquet in the imperial garden of the palace.
The eunuch came trotting over with the telegram, shouting,
"Your Majesty is overjoyed, Your Majesty is overjoyed, a great victory has been achieved in Burma!"
The eunuch's face was full of smiles!
Why was he so happy? Because according to convention, anyone who reported good news or victory to the emperor would usually be rewarded.
When they arrived in front of Yining, Yining ordered,
"What's the content?"
"Your Majesty, the telegram says that General Luo has recaptured all of Burma, and over 200,000 British troops have fled to Siam!"
After everyone heard this, the atmosphere suddenly became lively, and everyone present, except the imperial concubine, knelt down to congratulate the emperor.
Although the result was expected, Yining was of course very happy. He immediately called back and praised Luo Shixin and others highly.
Yining appointed Wu Bo as the governor of Myanmar Province and asked Luo Shixin to help Wu Bo pacify the local area. Martial law was temporarily implemented throughout the country to prevent sabotage by some local armed forces or forces.
He also said that after the New Year, some cadres trained by the emperor himself would be sent to help Wu Bo implement socialist reforms.
After the Chinese New Year, Yining selected hundreds of cadres to go to Myanmar.
These cadres are all graduates of the emperor's training class, including Zhang Congzhi, and the imperial envoy leading the team is Zhang Qingxi's brother Zhang Changtian.
After nearly two years of study, Zhang Changtian and Zhang Congzhi have gained a considerable understanding of the socialist model of later generations.
They also strongly agree with Yining's concept of equality for all, common prosperity, eliminating differences, and building a harmonious society.
After they arrived, they started to work hard.
First, the Socialist Reform Committee was established, with Wu Bo as director and Zhang Changtian and Zhang Congzhi as deputy group leaders.
Various functional departments such as the Department of Finance, the Department of Industry, the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Fisheries, and the Department of Construction were established in accordance with domestic settings.
The next step is to redivide administrative regions and establish three levels of government: district, county, and township based on actual conditions.
The whole of Myanmar is divided into seven regions, each with one district chief and two deputy district chiefs. These positions are held by cadres from the training class.
Several departments were set up below, such as the Agriculture Department, Industry Department, Water Conservancy Department, Fisheries Department, Urban Construction Department, Education Department, etc., and the directors of these departments are all local Burmese people.
Another 110 counties were established, and all county governors were cadres from the training classes.
The county has set up various departments and bureaus, and the directors are Burmese.
