Age of Rebirth

It can be seen that Le Yiqin has made careful preparations for Tang Qiuli's arrival. In the combat room, all kinds of equipment are available. On the wall, a large military map of northern Myanmar has been hung, telephones, radio stations, including Reporting officers in aviation uniforms are all sitting at their respective posts.

Seeing the commander come in with the teacher, they stood up and saluted together: "Hello, teacher!" Tang Qiuli smiled knowingly, waved his hands and sat down for everyone, and said to Le Yiqin disapprovingly: "Yiqin, I can't see it. You rough guy, you are still so careful, yes, once you come in, you will give people the atmosphere of a battle."

Le Yiqin smiled "hehe", although he didn't say anything, he was very proud in his heart, isn't he? The division commander came to northern Myanmar to command the battle against the British and Indian troops. The headquarters must be located in Myitkyina. If you want to say, the aviation unit One bad thing is that they are always far away from the division commander, unlike several army regiments, the division commander stays with them all day long.

This time, I finally got a chance to get along with the teacher, so I haven't created a satisfactory environment for the teacher, Le Yiqin asked with a smile: "Master, are you satisfied?"

Tang Qiuli glanced at Le Yiqin, who looked like a monkey offering a treasure, and replied affirmatively: "Very satisfied, thank the officers and soldiers of the Southern Aviation Group for me, well, get into the mood immediately, first report about the situation in the Hukang River Valley !”[

As soon as war was mentioned, Le Yiqin's face immediately lit up, and he said to a lieutenant colonel officer who was only in his 30s: "Commander Yue, let you report to the division commander!"

The lieutenant colonel walked vigorously to the front of the military map, and first saluted Tang Qiuli, "Reporting to the division commander, Yue Ziqin, head of the reconnaissance aircraft regiment of the Southern Aviation Group of the Aviation Force, will report to you the reconnaissance results. , Carried out multiple aerial reconnaissances in the Hukang River Valley and the India-Myanmar border area."

"The result of the reconnaissance is that at around 24:[-] am on the [-]th, two British and Indian army mechanized troops were found on the roads on both sides of the Hukang River Valley. In front of them, they have crossed the West Koma line and are heading towards West. In addition, British and Indian troops were found in Ledo, Sugiya, Gamai, Xintaiji, and four places. However, these four British and Indian troops are all light infantry, and the specific strength is about one division each. Report complete!"

Tang Qiuli did not speak, without any doubts, the British launched a large-scale attack on the northern Burma region, and the attack posture of the British and Indian troops.With the Hukang River Valley where mechanized troops can pass through as the center, spread out the two wings and advance in multiple ways, and attack the front in the direction of the attack.It expanded to more than 400 kilometers, forming five attack arrows, and mainly attacked Myitkyina, an important town in northern Myanmar, through the middle road.

In the direction of the Hukang River Valley, the ones heading west should be the main force of the British and Indian Army. Tang Qiuli already had a basic idea in his mind about how to fight this battle, but before coming to Myitkyina.The information obtained about the attack route of the British and Indian troops is very little, and the other four British and Indian troops are not included. The battle plan should be revised and more troops must be added!

Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli called out, "Chief of Staff Zhao!" There was no answer.He raised his head to look for Zhao Yuhe, and Ge Zhenzhuang, the chief of staff of the division headquarters, hurried to him and said, "Master, Chief of Staff Zhao is contacting Wen Rongcai, the commander of the northern Burma garrison, in the telecommunications room. Do you have any orders to convey?" ?”

Tang Qiuli said: "Director Ge, record the following order, the Hukang River Valley campaign plan, revised as follows, Commander Tang of the Sulu Mobile Corps, after receiving the order, rush to Ledo with the first and second brigades of your department The first line, the third and fourth brigades, rushed to the first line of Sujiya, the fifth and sixth brigades rushed to the first line of Gamai, and the seventh and eighth brigades rushed to the first line of Xintaiji. Advance to the northern Burma region to ensure the smooth progress of the Hukang River Valley Campaign, and wait for the opportunity to eliminate it."

"In addition, the other units of the Corps, as the general reserve of the campaign, maneuvered in the southern section of the India-Myanmar border area, directly under the ninth and tenth brigades of the Corps, and immediately entered the Hukang River Valley from Magao west. On the front line, take over the blocking tasks of the first and second garrison teams in the northern Myanmar garrison area, adopt layer-by-layer blocking and gradually retreat tactics, slow down the speed of the British and Indian troops, and buy enough time for the battle."

Ge Zhenzhuang quickly recorded the command of the division commander. He knew very well that the revision of the Hukang River Valley campaign plan meant that the scale of the campaign had more than doubled.Two main field corps participated in the battle, with more than 40 troops. On the front line of the northern border of Myanmar, an unprecedented battle will break out. After recording, Ge Zhenzhuang asked: "Master, the revised campaign plan will be sent to Sulu Mobile at the same time." Corps?"

Tang Qiuli nodded, Ge Zhenzhuang hurried out, and he shouted again: "Xinlan, record the order, the third and fourth garrison teams of the Northern Burmese Border Guard Zone are responsible for blocking the troops before the Sulu Mobile Corps arrives at the designated position." The task of the four-way British and Indian troops requires a little bit of blocking and gradual retreat, focusing on attacking and delaying the speed of the British and Indian troops, so as to buy enough time for the Sulu Mobile Corps to arrive."

The deployment of the British campaign disrupted Tang Qiuli's original plan. If the British and Indian troops only marched along the Hukang River Valley, he would have plenty of time to set up the battlefield west of Magao, but four British and Indian troops came out. Before Brother Qiusheng's troops reached the designated position, they could only use two regiment-level local troops in the northern Myanmar border guard zone to take on the arduous task of blocking the four divisions of the British and Indian troops.

The garrison team in the border guard area in northern Myanmar is a reinforced regiment-level organization. Although it has more troops than field troops, its weapons and equipment and combat effectiveness are not at the same level. It is really a last resort to use two reinforced regiments to deal with the four divisions of the British and Indian troops. For this reason, similarly, the two garrison teams in the Hukang River Valley could not withstand the mechanized main force of the British and Indian Army at all. Even if the two main brigades directly under the Corps went up, it would not help.

Therefore, Tang Qiuli's campaign was conceived to prevent the four British and Indian troops from continuing to advance, and the main force of the British and Indian troops in the middle route would continue to move in the direction of Magao in northern Myanmar. Putting it in and fighting, this is a tactic I have used many times, and it has worked repeatedly. The Japanese have suffered losses many times, and the same is true for the British.

Tang Qiuli did not intend to let the British take the initiative to provoke the war. He didn't know how much he was British. What he wanted was the complete annihilation. Through this campaign, the British and Indian troops in northern Myanmar would be invaded. Afterwards, a large-scale counter-offensive was carried out to reach the East India region, and a de facto occupation was carried out to achieve the goal of completely controlling the Bay of Bengal and the East Indian Ocean.

During this period, Bangladesh has not been separated from Pakistan by India, and India and Pakistan have not been divided. India has not even smelled independence. The South Asian subcontinent is still a British colony. At this time, don’t take the opportunity to cut more meat , let alone when, if this great opportunity is missed, historians of later generations will evaluate themselves with two words, "idiot!"

The British's sudden attack on northern Burma certainly caused some troubles for Tang Qiuli, but what followed was a huge opportunity to infect the subcontinent of South Asia. Therefore, at this moment, Tang Qiuli was determined. This is also an important reason for him to transfer Brother Qiusheng's regiment and join the war.

After giving out a series of orders, he turned his head and saw Le Yiqin, still waiting beside him eagerly. Tang Qiuli looked Le Yiqin up and down a few times, and Le Yiqin felt hairy when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Mr. See if you need anything else, if not, then I'll be busy with other things!"

After finishing speaking, I'm going to slip away, why don't I go, and wait to find someone to be reprimanded?Didn't you see the teacher's eyes? In fact, Le Yiqin listened to the teacher's orders with keen eyes, and they were all for the army. After listening for a long time, there was no aviation at all!

The division commander's headquarters is located in Myitkyina, which is one of the bases of the Southern Aviation Group. It is right next to the division commander, but the aviation unit has no mission. Stuck and hungry? [

"Come back!" There was a low shout from behind, Le Yiqin hurriedly turned around, looked at the teacher inexplicably, Tang Qiuli said: "Le Yiqin, I know your evil intentions, don't you just look at the others Corps, all have combat missions, are you hungry?"

Le Yiqin smiled and said: "It's still the teacher who understands me. Since we knocked out the little devil's fleet, we have been free. Isn't this a panic in our hearts? Let's see if there is anything we need to contribute, even if it is an accessory. Give it to that brigade!"

Tang Qiuli said solemnly: "Le Yiqin, accept the order, the Southern Flying Group will dispatch all bomber units from tomorrow to carry out uninterrupted saturated air strikes on the British and Indian troops in the following areas, Ledo, Suji Ya, Gamai, and Xintaiji, carry out harassing air strikes on the British and Indian troops in the Hukang Valley, and execute the order! By the way, there must be escort fighter jets, the British are in East India and have aviation power!"

Le Yiqin was so happy to give Tang Qiuli an out-of-shape military salute, and said loudly: "Please rest assured, Commander, Southern Flying Group, we promise to complete the task successfully! Blow up the British guys all over the ground!"

In fact, Le Yiqin also wanted to suggest that the main force of the British and Indian troops in the Hukang Valley should be the main bombing target, how exciting it would be!But thinking about the battle mission that was so hard to get, if that sentence is wrong, the division commander will cancel his qualification to participate in the battle, and those gang leaders who are screaming, won't eat themselves?Accept it when you see it!

Looking at the back of Le Yiqin excitedly, Tang Qiuli's eyes were full of smiles. He just liked this guy's will to fight. For this battle in the Hukang River Valley, Tang Qiuli's inner pressure was lighter than previous battles. This is also the main reason why the strength of the independent division continues to grow. If you want to fight a war of annihilation, is your appetite high?He smiled self-deprecatingly.
