Chapter 432 Two-Front Law and War (12)
The three British infantry divisions, trapped 50 kilometers north of Yangon, received a telegram from Lieutenant General Macbeth of the Myanmar Command, 'Your troops break through as soon as possible.'
The three teachers and teachers have different ages and different personalities. But after seeing the telegram, they threw the telegram to the ground without exception. If they could break through, they would have broken through long ago. How could Lieutenant General Macbeth be so blind?
At this moment, the Chinese Air Force came again. After several days of fighting, the Chinese Air Force was already unparalleled. The plane was firing wildly at the ground at a height of about 100 meters from the ground. The water seeped out of the British trenches was no longer than the knees of British officers and soldiers, but British officers and soldiers could only hide in the trenches in mud and water. This was their safest place to hide.
While the air force was raging, the light infantry of the Republic of China's National Defense Force launched a ground attack on the wide front. One by one, three-person combat teams climbed through the wet ground and approached the British trenches. The maximum caliber of the artillery equipped by the Republic of China's National Defense Force was only 120 mm, which was much lighter than the 150 heavy artillery on the European battlefield of the British army. However, the land in Myanmar was not suitable for heavy troops to fight, so the Chinese light infantry carried 60-caliber mortars, and the battalion-level troops were equipped with 75 guns.
On the other hand, the besieged British troops were also equipped with 100 caliber artillery when they started to head north. However, these artillery had been destroyed by the air force of the Republic of China Defense Forces in the past few days of battle. The remaining 75 artillery shells were basically exhausted in the past few days. Therefore, the British troops on the front line had to retreat after the attack.

"For surrendered troops, we will retain their personal belongings, but we will not recognize the items they plundered by illegal means. For surrendered officers and soldiers, we will allow their military ranks to be retained and their personal safety and personal dignity."
After hearing this, the British colonel thought that this was the content of the Vienna Convention. Moreover, when it comes to retaining personal belongings, China's policy of captives seems to be more tolerant.
After another exchange, the two sides ended the meeting. On March 11, three British infantry divisions announced their surrender.
At this time, journalists from various countries had gathered near the battlefield. The British commanders who learned about this news felt much more relaxed. A civilized country would not do inhumane things with the presence of journalists from various countries.
The surrender ceremony was simple and bright. The British army handed over the military flag to the Chinese army, and the division commanders immediately handed over their swords to the surrendered Chinese army. Most of the reporters present were very excited and took a precious scene with cameras and cameras.
After the surrendered Chinese major generals took over the swords of the British division commanders, they handed them to the guards around them. They then drew out the military daggers they carried and gave them to the British division commanders as a gift.
Although the British journalists in the journalist group felt the shame of defeat, they were also moved by the politeness of the Chinese army. Among more reporters, French journalists gloated, and former allied journalists such as Germany and Austria involuntarily imposed themselves into the Chinese army. If the loser of the European war was Britain...
After the surrender ceremony, the reporters went to the specific surrendered troops for interview. The British army was in combat and did not have time to loot, so after the British army handed over the weapons, the National Defense Forces' body search only ensured that there were no hidden weapons on the prisoners.
As for the items carried by other individuals, they were not taken away. Even when they were found during the search, a very small number of people were carrying several pocket watches, the National Defense Force did not conduct special interrogation of such an unusual matter. Instead, they asked the prisoners to follow his original troops to the prisoner-of-war camp.
On the second day of the arrival ceremony, General Zhong Yifu, the commander of the Myanmar War Zone, arrived at the front line. Before the plane landed, General Zhong Yifu had already seen through the porthole and saw that there were people standing outside the airport. Even though the distance was very far, Zhong Yifu could still vaguely distinguish the cameras and cameras carried by those people. Before departure, Zhong Yifu had already let the National Defense Forces emit the news. Seeing so many reporters waiting outside the airport, Zhong Yifu felt that the hard work of his special trip had become valuable.

When the plane landed on the runway and stopped, Zhong Yifu got off the plane, and journalists from all over the country flocked to Zhong Yifu for an interview. The spokesperson of the National Defense Forces said loudly: "Quiet! Please be quiet!"
When the reporters stopped making noise, the spokesperson said: "We can have a brief press conference at the airport."
As soon as the reporters finished speaking, the reporters shouted, "I am a reporter for the New York Times!", "I am a reporter for Le Figaro!", "I am a reporter for the Hungarian Liberty!"...
The spokesperson already knew who the reporters were. He ordered the reporter of Le Figaro, France. The reporter immediately asked: "General Zhong, do you think about the victory of this battle?"
Zhong Yifu took the microphone and said in a calm voice: "The outbreak of this battle is not reasonable from a military academic perspective, but from a political perspective, it has its reasons. The purpose of the British army's offensive was to prevent the prosecution team of the Asian International Court of Justice to investigate the ANZHK massacre. My thoughts on this battle were not about the outcome of the battle, but about the improvement of the degree of civilization in Britain. If it were the past, the British army's attitude towards massacre was that I was a massacre, I was reasonable. Because of the backwardness of British civilization, they claimed that massacre was a means to promote civilization, and massacre was right, and massacre was advanced, glorious, and great. Now, Britain has begun to try to stop the massacre investigation, proving that the British government finally understood that massacre was barbaric, evil, and unsightly."
The reporters from France and former allied countries burst into laughter, while the British journalists looked resentful.
Zhong Yifu looked calm because he had already prepared how to answer these questions. So when the reporters finished laughing, Zhong Yifu pressed down on his hands to calm the reporters, "My reporters, I am not mocking Britain. Because in the early stages of human civilization, massacre was a common thing. As an ancient plain text, China has many historical records in thousands of years of history. It is precisely because China's civilization developed earlier that China also got rid of the stage of barbarism and ignorance earlier and realized that any massacre was wrong. And passed on this cognition and judgment standard for thousands of years. If this battle can make China's understanding of civilization more deeply rooted in people's hearts, that is, the positive effect brought by the unfortunate war."
The spokesperson immediately clicked the reporter of the Hungarian Free Press. The Hungarian reporter asked excitedly: "Genius General, will this battle affect the operation of the Asian International Tribunal? In other words, will the captured British army be tried by the Asian International Tribunal?"
"I have been engaged in military command and do not know much about the Asian International Tribunal. Judging from my responsibilities and quotations, the war between us and the British army is only war. At least until now, we have not discovered that the British army has acted against civilians in addition to war, so the British prisoners of war will not be tried by the Asian International Tribunal."
The spokesperson immediately clicked on the Times reporter. After a previous reporter asked, the Times reporter asked: "General, now the Chinese army has occupied part of British India. I know that this part of the land was once called part of the Kingdom of Myanmar, a vassal state of China. How will the Chinese government deal with the land of the former vassal state of Myanmar?"
Zhong Yifu looked serious, "When China established relations with Myanmar, the Romans were still the rulers of Britain."
Hearing this, the reporters, especially French journalists, laughed out loud.
Zhong Yifu continued: "The stable relationship between China and Myanmar has been maintained for thousands of years, so the Chinese government will handle the relationship between China and Myanmar based on the traditional stable relationship in history."
The Times reporter immediately asked: "What do you mean is that China will re-establish Myanmar?"
