The war between the Chinese Empire and Britain in Myanmar attracted the attention of the whole world. However, both the Chinese Empire and the British Empire were very low-key about this war. Both sides did not promote it, nor did they declare war on each other. It seemed that the governments of the two countries did not know the war at all. In fact, hundreds of thousands of people on both sides were fighting to the death in Myanmar, and people died every moment.

In fact, this just confirms the true idea of ​​the Chinese Empire and Britain. Neither countries want to give up Myanmar, which is important in strategic locations, but neither of them is willing to provoke a full-scale war. Therefore, controlling the scale of the war in Myanmar, determining the ownership of Myanmar by the outcome of the war does not burn the war to other places, resulting in the outbreak of a full-scale war. In this way, it is beneficial to the Chinese Empire and Britain.

All countries are also paying close attention to this war, and Britain is still the world's number one power. But the Chinese Empire is indeed the absolute hegemon of the East. The collision between these two powerful countries, no matter who wins or loses, will change the world's pattern to a certain extent. In addition, the large number of new weapons used by both sides in this war also made the military of various countries pay great attention to it. After all, the battlefield is the best place to test weapons. The "Summer-class" cruiser of the Chinese Empire Navy is completely

After controlling the Burmese Sea, the Royal Navy of the British Navy did not dare to fight with the Chinese Navy and took the initiative to retreat. This made the Kingdom of France and Spain, which purchased the "Summer-class" cruisers from the Chinese Empire, pay more attention to the "Summer-class" cruisers. The two countries have never given up challenging Britain on the sea, thereby regaining the glory they had lost at the beginning. In this way, they can actually restrain Britain's strength in Europe, thus allowing the Chinese Empire to gain more advantages.

After the fall of the Kingdom of Burma, General John Colborn, commander of the British and Indian army, ordered the British army to start gathering in Yangon, including the 11th Army originally stationed in Yangon, and the other 8th Army. As for the reinforcements of the British and Indian army who once again entered Myanmar from India, the direction of advance was Yangon. As for the other areas of Myanmar, it was handed over to the British and Indian army to take charge. General John Colborn believed that if he wanted to defend Myanmar, he had to defeat the Chinese army, otherwise they would be eliminated by the Chinese army. Admiral John Colborn ordered Lieutenant General George Pollock of the 11th Army to defend Myanmar to death, and on the other hand, he ordered reinforcements from all walks of life to speed up the advance. Otherwise, once the Chinese army captured Yangon, it would not be so easy for the British army to recover Yangon.

On April 6, the 14th Infantry Army of the Chinese Army and the two Marine Brigades of the Navy were already in Yangon. Among them, the 2nd Marine Brigade, the 4th Brigade and the 14th Infantry Brigade of the Army, the 32nd Infantry Brigade confronted the British troops stationed in Yangon across the Bogu River. The 50th Infantry Brigade, the 68th Infantry Brigade and the 86th Infantry Brigade and the 14th Infantry Army of the 14th Infantry Army of the 14th Infantry Army confronted the British troops from the west across the Ryan River. The remaining more than 40,000 British Infantry Army of the 11th Infantry Army of the British Army were deployed along the river, hoping to stop the attack of the Chinese army and buy time for the arrival of reinforcements. For Lieutenant General George Pollock, the commander of the British 11th Army of the British Army, as long as the reinforcements arrive, it will be victory!

"General, General John Colborne, urgently sent a message!" In the headquarters of the British 11th Army in Yangon, a communication officer reported to Lieutenant General George Pollock. The headquarters of the British 11th Army was set up next to the famous temple in Yangon, Dajin Temple. Although Lieutenant General George Pollock was a devout Christian and regarded other religions as pagans, for safety reasons, he still thought it would be better to set up the command here. Because there are many Buddhists in the Chinese army. In George Pollock.

Lieutenant General Locke believed that those Buddhists would not deliberately open fire at these temples, so that the possibility of his command being hit by shells would be much smaller. Of course, this was just Lieutenant George Pollock taking himself for granted. In fact, on the battlefield, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese army would not take so many things. They only believe in their own emperors and the will of the emperor. It is their beliefs, the emperor's orders, and their direction of progress. God blocks and kills Gods. Buddha blocks and kills Buddhas!

"Remember!" Lieutenant General George Pollock frowned. The Chinese army had arrived in Yangon. Before the reinforcements arrived, he had to face the powerful Chinese army alone. If he had thought that the Chinese army was just a fame, then this time, after the battle between the 42nd Division and the 2nd Brigade of the Chinese Marine Corps, he had a deep understanding.

"The Myanmar War Zone General Command issued a telegram to the 11th Lord, be sure to stay in Yangon and wait for reinforcements to arrive. If Yangon is lost before reinforcements arrive, the general will be engaged in law." The communication officer said.

"Damn it! Ask General John Colborne, when will the reinforcements arrive?" Lieutenant General George Pollock cursed.

A few minutes later, the communication officer gave a reply. The 13th Army was slightly closer to Yangon, but it took about three to four days to arrive. The 8th Army was rushing towards Yangon at full speed, but Mandalay and Yangon were 600 kilometers apart, and the road facilities in Myanmar were not very good. If the 8th Army wanted to arrive, it would take at least ten days.

In fact, the army controlled by Lieutenant General George Pollock is no less than that of one infantry army and two marine brigades of the Chinese Army in terms of military strength. However, Lieutenant General George Pollock always lacks confidence and believes that if the war starts, they will definitely fail in the end. Perhaps, the previous battle shocked him too much.

"Tell Lieutenant General George Woodford that if he didn't come to collect my body, it would be better to arrive in Yangon within three days, otherwise we will be finished!" Lieutenant General George Pollock said. Lieutenant General George Woodford, whom he mentioned, was the commander of the 13th British Army, and had a good relationship with Lieutenant General George Pollock.

"Yes, General!" The communication officer curled his lips disdainfully, and then went to send a telegram. At least this officer did not believe that Yangon could not be defended for five days. Although the Chinese army was very strong, it was not so easy for the Chinese to cross the river smoothly with two rivers.

Major General Kang Rui, commander of the 14th Infantry Army of the Chinese Army, Major General Peng Mingqiang, commander of the 2nd Marine Brigade of the 2nd Marine Corps, and Major General Lu Haipeng, commander of the 5th Navy Fleet, held a pre-war meeting on the cruiser of the 5th Navy Fleet's flagship "Xia Qi". This time, the battle against Yangon was mainly responsible for Major General Kang Rui, and Major General Peng Mingqiang and Major General Lu Haipeng were responsible for assisting. Major General Liu Zhongming, deputy director of the Operations Department of the General Staff of the Chinese Empire, was already on his way to Myanmar. At that time, he would establish a front-line command center and be fully responsible for combat operations in Myanmar.

"Everyone, we don't have much time now. The British are desperately increasing troops to Yangon and planning to fight us in a decisive battle with us in Yangon. The defense in Yangon is only the 11th Army of the British Army, with more than 40,000 people left. If we can eat them in one bite, it will be easier for the next battle." Major General Kang Rui said. Before, he was also a staff officer in the General Staff, but after the army expanded, he began to serve as the chief officer of the army. Later, with his military achievements, he became the major general commander of one of the 18 armies of the Army step by step.

"General Kang, since that's the case, we will launch an attack on Yangon as soon as possible. Although the 5th Fleet only has four warships to participate in the war, we will definitely provide artillery support to the army as much as possible. The artillery fire of the British 11th Army is definitely not our opponent." Major General Lu Haipeng, commander of the 5th Fleet of the Navy, patted his chest and assured. Although one British army has hundreds of artillery pieces. A "Xia-class" cruiser of the Chinese Navy has only twenty artillery pieces, and when shooting at one side, he can often only use more than a dozen artillery pieces. However, the power of the naval gun is originally greater than the artillery pieces used by the army. In addition, the explosives of the Chinese army are smokeless gunpowder, not black gunpowder. In addition, the rate of fire is such that the four "Xia-class" cruisers of the Chinese Navy suppress the artillery of a British army. This is completely fine.

"Haha, is this more important? In terms of artillery fire, we will definitely rely on the naval brothers!" Major General Kang Rui said with a smile. As the Chinese Navy only retained two main fleets, the importance of the commanders of these two fleets is self-evident.

"General Kang, Yang Gongru from Yangon is quite a lot. It is not that easy for us to completely eat them in a short period of time. To the west, a large number of British troops are approaching. In addition to more than 100,000 British and Indian troops, there is also the 13th British Army, which is a tens of thousands of elite British troops!" Major General Peng Mingqiang, commander of the 2nd Brigade of the Marine Corps, said with some concern.

"This is a problem. However, the 7th Army will arrive tomorrow afternoon. At that time, let the 7th Army build a line of defense in the west and block the British reinforcements. With our current combat power, the 7th Army will definitely get us enough time. At that time, we can easily take Yangon and destroy the British army in the city." Major General Kang Rui said.

At 1:34 pm on April 6, 1845, four "Summer-class" cruisers of the 5th Fleet of the Chinese Navy opened fire on the positions of the British 11th Army stationed in Yangon, and the Battle of Yangon began!
