Regent Yang Guozheng is deeply involved in government affairs and diplomacy. He knows that the Saar people are facing internal and external difficulties. If they save some face, the other party will definitely be willing to compromise with him.So he sent envoys to meet the governor of Zaini.
After the envoy arrived in Mumbai, he first explained Maine's determination to demand independence and get rid of the colonization of Saar to the governor in Zhai.Ask Saar to withdraw from the government agencies in Yangon, hand over the command of the Burmese army to Kokang chieftain, and recognize Maine's independence from the rule of Saar.
The Saar people will naturally not agree to the envoy's request. Once they recognize Maine's independence, there will be a chain reaction, and other colonies will become more unstable. Maine will become a very bad negative example, inspiring The colonies seek independence.
The Sar people had a firm attitude and did not allow Maine to be independent at all, so Wu Yuzhang and Yang Sen decided to intensify their attacks and occupy Yangon in one fell swoop.The rebel army soon began various preparations for the siege. All heavy weapons, including more than 70 cannons, were transported here, and they were going to attack the city with all their strength.
Yangon is located near the estuary of the Irrawaddy River, at the confluence of the Yangon River and the Patheintang River, [-] kilometers away from the Andaman Sea.
Chapter 181 Bing Wai Yangon
This is the largest port in Maine and the richest place in the whole of Maine.As the last stronghold of the Burmese army, there are more than 1 people stationed around Yangon at this time.These troops stationed at various strongholds outside the city, and dug deep and wide trenches around the city wall, preparing to fight to the death with the Kokang Self-Defense Forces.
Looking at the terrain around Yangon with a telescope, Wu Yuzhang and Yang Sen couldn't help sighing.The Burmese army has obviously obtained the true biography of the Saar people. Their trenches were dug in an unconventional manner, and their troop deployment was very reasonable.
Yang Sen looked into the distance with a telescope and said: "It seems that if you want to capture Yangon, you must win Yangon Mountain. As long as you occupy Yangon Mountain, we can launch an attack from top to bottom and capture the entire city of Yangon in one fell swoop. "
"You said it lightly. Look how many trenches are there on the outskirts of Yangon Mountain? Our little people can't rush up." Wu Yuzhang said.
"I remember when I was studying in the Armed Forces Academy, I learned the way of siege in tunnels. Let's give it a try." Yang Sen said with a smile.
"I also have the same intention, but the students who were sent have been recalled, we can only do it ourselves, I think I will do it first this time." Wu Yuzhang nodded.
"That can't be done, I came up with the idea, so naturally I will take the lead." Yang Sen quit.
"You are the one who takes the lead. When you capture Mount Yangon, I will be responsible for the task of attacking the city." Wu Yuzhang replied happily.Hearing that the other party took away the task of attacking the city, Yang Sen pointed at him with a smile and said, "You are still so cunning. I couldn't beat you in school. It's still the same now."
"To each other, haha." Wu Yuzhang also responded with a laugh.
When Yang Sen and Wu Yuzhang were observing the terrain on the top of the mountain, it was a different scene in Yang Guozheng's camp. "Regent, the current military power is in the hands of those two outsiders. The officers at all levels are outsiders appointed by them. Once they rebel, they will be irresistible." An officer named Yang Biao was muttering in front of Yang Guozheng. with.
He is a member of the Yang clan, and now he also holds some military power in his hands, but the main attack is from the troops of Yang Sen and Wu Yuzhang. The army of more than 8000 people led by Yang Guozheng is generally doing logistics work.Seeing the increasing prestige of his repeated military exploits, these members of the Yang clan are inevitably a little jealous.
"Don't talk nonsense, they are here to help us, not to mention that we are all Hualan, we can't split the family." Although Yang Guozheng said so, he was actually uncomfortable in his heart.Originally the regent of Kokang, he held absolute power in his hands, but since these outsiders entered Kokang, his power has been weakened day by day.
Although these outsiders were respectful to him and didn't act out of courtesy, seeing that the elite troops became their subordinates, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.Since last month, a group of civil servants came from China, and they quickly took over the administrative power of the entire Kokang region, and at the same time promoted the Great Hualan doctrine in the area under their own actual control.In addition, these people reduced rent and interest, and established many large factories, which attracted a lot of people.Many low-level people's awe of the chieftain is no longer as good as before, so Yang Guozheng felt a little uneasy in his heart, but Yang Biao happened to reveal what was on his mind today.
"Regent, let's live a good life in Kokang, why do we have to provoke the Saar people? Are those Saar people so easy to provoke? Now they are in some trouble in Zhaini, but when their troubles are over, there will be us The benefits?" Another member of the Yang family, Yang Tong, also urged.
"Today's 8000 Self-Defense Forces, we only have [-] people in our hands, and the guns and ammunition are also supplied by others. What else can we do?" Yang Guozheng said angrily.
Yang Biao shook his head and said: "Didn't the Romance of the Three Kingdoms say that soldiers and horses go first without using food and grass? As long as there is no food in the army, the army will avoid chaos. When Yuan Shu dealt with Sun Jian, he used this trick, and Sun Jian was killed because of it." Even Zu Mao was killed by Hua Xiong." Yang Biao didn't have any military qualities, so he copied the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
"That's right, the food is supplied by us. From now on, we will cut off the food supply and see if they are still in a mess." Yang Tong also laughed.Yang Guozheng thought that this matter seemed inappropriate, but thinking about the increasingly weakened power, he had no choice but to nod in acquiescence.
Yang Sen didn't know that there were discordant voices behind him. At this time, he was concentrating on attacking Mount Yangon.Yangon Mountain is not steep, but after all, it has a top-down advantage. If the attack is launched with tunnel operations, the casualties of the attacking side must be not small.
According to this situation, Yang Sen and Wu Yuzhang slightly adjusted the plan. They dug trenches from the west of Yangon and extended them towards Yangon City by means of civil engineering.The Burmese army was suppressed by artillery, and the soldiers of the Self-Defense Forces began to dig into the trenches with shovels.
The excavation of this kind of trench is quite particular. They first dig a horizontal defensive trench, and then extend the offensive trench forward from this trench, that is, the vertical trench.When the vertical ditch had advanced about 100 meters, they continued to use the vertical ditch as a benchmark and dug another horizontal ditch, which pushed their position forward by [-] meters.
In this way, the Self-Defense Forces moved towards Yangon City little by little with very low casualties.The Burmese army panicked when they saw the attacking methods of the Self-Defense Forces. They quickly dispatched troops to the city wall, taking advantage of the height of the city wall, and shot down the Self-Defense Forces in the trench from top to bottom. However, Yang Sen's countermeasure came soon.
There are two thousand veterans of the former independent regiment in the self-defense army. Their shooting accuracy is very high, and they can find two or three hundred sharpshooters by random selection.Distribute these sharpshooters into the trenches, and once someone emerges from the top of the city, they will be killed immediately. Soon the Burmese army will not dare to lean out and shoot, and the advancement of the trenches can proceed smoothly.
It is not cost-effective to carry out civil engineering work near Yangon, because the terrain here is low-lying and close to the sea, and water will seep if you dig more than half a meter deep.Coupled with the nearby rainforest climate, it rains twice a day, so the soldiers are always in muddy water.Digging trenches in such a place consumes a lot of energy, so Yang Sen had to divide his troops into several groups and take turns to dig. Even so, the soldiers were very tired.
The soldiers were too tired, and their food intake was naturally increasing, and the army's food reserves would soon bottom out.For this reason, Wu Yuzhang immediately sent people to Yang Guozheng's place to urge food, but he sent three groups of people there in a row, but there was still no news, and even the people he sent didn't come back. Wu Yuzhang immediately felt that something was wrong.
Chapter 182 The Battle of Tongues
There was not much food in the army, and if it continued like this, it would run out of food in at most two days, so Wu Yuzhang decided to go over there to find out the reason for the delay in food supply.With a guard platoon and two personal guards, Wu Yuzhang quickly came to the Yang Guozheng barracks more than ten kilometers behind.
When he came near the barracks, Wu Yuzhang felt a tense atmosphere.There was no one in the barracks, and no one could even be seen moving around. Only the light and shade posts far and near were still watching the surrounding situation. Occasionally, a sentry looked at Wu Yuzhang with cold eyes.
Wu Yuzhang secretly thought it was not good, he asked everyone to be vigilant, and then strode towards the gate of the camp.When they were approaching the gate of the camp, two sentries stopped them: "Stop, what are you doing?"
"I'm Wu Yuzhang. I'm here to see the Lord Regent. Please inform me." Wu Yuzhang stopped five meters away from the sentry and said loudly to them.
"Commander Wu can go in, the others are waiting outside the camp." The sentry shouted impatiently.
"When did the self-defense army have such a rule? Why didn't I know. My brother came and turned away. Are you a member of the self-defense army?" Wu Yuzhang asked coldly.
This sentence made the sentinel stunned. After all, these people were all from the northern districts, and the soldiers were very familiar with them. If they really counted, they might be able to find some relatives, so the atmosphere in the army was always very harmonious.It's really unreasonable to keep my brothers out of the door now, especially in this season when it might rain at any time.
"Forget it, let the brothers rest in the tent, but Wu Commander can only go to see the regent alone." The sentinel finally took a compromise note.Wu Yuzhang nodded, he whispered a few words to the guards around him, and strode into the gate of the camp.
Yang Guozheng paid attention to ostentation, so the tent he lived in was extra spacious, and several layers of guards stood nearby to protect his safety.If anyone sees him, they have to go through layers of notifications, and wait until he agrees before they can enter.Wu Yuzhang was not surprised by this, and he waited patiently for the notification before he walked into the camp quickly.
A large chair was placed in the large tent, covered with soft cushions made of silk, and Yang Guozheng nestled in the middle, waiting for Wu Yuzhang's arrival.There was no furniture in the tent, so it looked quite spacious, but there were officers from the Yang family standing on both sides, as if some kind of military meeting was being held.
Seeing Wu Yuzhang coming, Yang Guozheng said with a smile: "Commander Wu is not on the front line commanding the battle, how come he has time to come to me?"
Wu Yuzhang looked at the hostile eyes around him, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "I just came to ask the Regent, why there is no food distribution in the past few days. The food in the army is not enough, so I came to take a look. "
"Are you questioning me for not giving out food?" Yang Guozheng's tone was a bit unfriendly.
"Of course not, but now is the critical moment of the battle. Once Yangon is captured, Kokang Chieftain will be able to complete the control of the entire Maine. It would be a pity if he failed because of the lack of food." Wu Yuzhang's words were neither humble nor overbearing, obviously He was testing Yang Guozheng's mind.
"Control Maine? It's not certain who this Maine will be at that time, maybe I dare to change the surname of the Yang family." Yang Biao said sarcastically from the side.
"What? Does Brother Yang have any questions? Aren't we helping Lord Chieftain and Lord Regent to drive away the Saar invaders and defeat the Burmese army? What's the problem?" Wu Yuzhang asked rhetorically.
Yang Biao snorted coldly: "You sound good. I ask you why the government affairs of the entire Maine are in your hands now? Why is the army in your hands? When the whole Maine settles down, I'm afraid that the Yang family will They will all die without a place to bury them.”
"Government affairs were taken over because the chieftain had very few literate people and no experience in governing such a large area, so we urgently allocated a group of talents to help the chieftain manage the place. Now the people are convinced and praise the chieftain's good governance. Is this not good? As for who leads the army, what does it matter? We are also serving Lord Chieftain and Lord Regent. Is it okay to hand over the army to you guys who don't understand military affairs? Do you want to fight the battle? "Wu Yuzhang found that the atmosphere was not right. He knew that this was the time for tit-for-tat confrontation. Once his language was weak, it would be easy for the opponent to gain the upper hand.
"Nonsense, it's all nonsense. I have seen your thoughts a long time ago. When the Saar people are driven away, you will be the ones who oppress us. Would you be kind enough to help us fight the war, and then give the whole of Maine to Shall we manage it?" Yang Tong on the side chimed in.
Wu Yuzhang laughed loudly: "Your thinking is really naive, no wonder you can't become grand. Can people live only by oppressing others? We have already explained that the day we entered Kokang, everyone is Hualan, and Hualan We should unite to the outside world, so that those foreigners who bully us will not be underestimated. Now that we are in victory, but you are messing with your own brother at this time, I doubt that you are a traitor bought by the Saar people."
"You're talking nonsense, what evidence do you have that I'm a traitor?" Yang Tong said angrily.
"Now the Sar people have no time to take care of Maine, and the Burmese army is on the verge of collapse. The only chance for them to come back is our civil strife. Under such a good situation, you deliberately provoked civil strife. Didn't the Sar people give you money to let Did you do this?" Wu Yuzhang sternly said: "Your Regent, the matter is obvious, once we fight among ourselves, the Regent should be very clear about who will win."
"This..." Yang Guozheng also lost his mind at this time. He was very clear about the current situation. Once his family fell into chaos, the previous good situation might collapse immediately.But now the threat of outsiders like Wu Yuzhang is too great, even if he launches an attack at this time, it is difficult to guarantee success, and it may even endanger himself.It is really difficult for him to decide whether to gamble once, trust the sincerity of the other party, or stand up and die together.
"Regent, don't listen to this guy's nonsense, why are they so kind. Now they are attacking Yangon, as long as we attack from behind, we can easily wipe them out, so Maine is ours." Yang Biao said angrily Said.
"And then? When the Burmese army in Yangon goes out of the city to counterattack, can you stop it? At that time, the regent's army will suffer heavy losses in the internal strife, and the only way to be defeated is to be attacked by the Burmese army again. Do your best to serve the Saar people. Plan, do you still dare to say that you are not a spy?" Wu Yuzhang sternly said, now he must bite the other side's pretext that he is planning for the Saar people, in order to break the deadlock.
Chapter 183 Doubt
"You're talking nonsense." Yang Biao trembled angrily, but he couldn't find any words to refute.
Seeing Yang Guozheng's melancholy and hesitant face, Wu Yuzhang knew that he had to add fire, and that the case might turn the situation around, so he immediately said loudly: "Originally we watched the Hualan people in the Kokang area being oppressed and slaughtered, and we couldn't bear it." Our family has suffered such a catastrophe, so we angrily help. Otherwise, do you think we will be interested in a poor place like Maine? Since the Lord Regent has become suspicious, it is not good for our brothers to stay here, we immediately Evacuate everyone from Maine and go back to China. It is up to the Lord Regent to decide where Maine will go in the future." Wu Yuzhang wanted to leave after speaking.
"You still want to leave? Do you think you can still get out of the camp?" Yang Biao suddenly jumped out and drew out his pistol, and pressed it against Wu Yuzhang's waist.
