Age of Rebirth

The tent was slammed open, mixed with a night wind full of water vapor, with the smell of gunpowder coming straight in, a few beams of flashlights, first glanced randomly a few times, saw the dark people on the ground, and then fixed them on Kuiran Unmoved and calm, but in fact, the commander who has lost the ability to think.

The captain of the guard of the headquarters stepped forward, pushed Alexander to the ground, and said eagerly: "Your Excellency, please hide immediately. Our camp has been attacked by the enemy. Now the situation shows that I am protecting you." You evacuate here immediately," several strong guards came up, picked up Alexander and ran out.

The commanders have all evacuated, so wouldn't it be more dangerous to stay here? If the attackers knew that this was the tent of the Supreme Command, if the attackers were given grenades, wouldn't all the elites of the British Empire be killed here?

Ever since, dozens of British and Indian officers followed closely behind Alexander, and ran into the forest next to the tent. Only then did Alexander catch his breath and let the guards put him down, and then, With light blue eyes, he looked at the campsite that was bursting with flames everywhere, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled uncontrollably.

From Alexander's position, the battle locations were very scattered, but the area covered almost the entire camp. Only the luggage and medicine storage area behind was still dark. At this time, the officers who ran out surrounded him. Beside him, watching the bursting flames from time to time, listening to the sometimes sparse and sometimes intense gunshots, whispered in shock. [

No one laughs at the embarrassment of the other party, don't laugh at the horse's long face, the enemy's situation is unknown, and even the Commander is hiding. This is a normal reaction for us. In fact, their current location is a few kilometers away from the place where the battle took place. Far.Not affected at all.

Looking at the hideous faces of the senior military officers around him, each with their heads shrunk and their faces full of fear, the anger in Alexander's heart almost singed his hair.He asked the captain viciously: "James, do you know what happened?"

Lieutenant Colonel James, the captain of the guard, replied very simply: "Reporting to the commander, I only heard gunshots and explosions, and immediately arranged your security protection work. I don't know the specific situation. I just know that we have been attacked!" "

Hearing the words of Captain James, a major general of the British army came over and said to Alexander: "Commander, the militants who attacked our camp are very familiar with the terrain. They should be local wandering armed forces, otherwise, it is impossible. In this dark night and rainy day, launch a sudden attack, I suggest. Send troops to search and destroy this group of militants, otherwise, similar things will happen again!"

Several other senior British officers also echoed, agreeing with the major general's statement, but a few Indian officers remained silent, and the sarcasm in their eyes disappeared in a flash.However, Alexander keenly captured it with the light of the explosion.

Alexander's lungs exploded, and he almost wanted to kick this disgraceful compatriot and subordinate to death on the spot, "What a fucking pig-brained, miscellaneous armed man. Why don't you say that he is the subordinate of the devil Satan, they are idle Panicked, have nothing to do to attack the camp of the British Empire Army? Reason? Reason? This should be done by the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side!"

The battle happened suddenly and ended quickly. However, in more than 30 minutes, the sound of explosions and gunshots gradually faded away, and finally stopped completely. The smell of gunpowder was quickly blown away by the night wind mixed with rain. If it weren't for the little fire and the shouts of the British and Indian soldiers, one would almost doubt that what happened just now was a dream?

Although the battle was over, for the sake of safety, Alexander and the generals stayed hidden in this forest for more than 40 minutes before returning to the tent. The sudden evacuation, the general, did not even have time to put on the raincoat, and the night wind blew , the rain-wet military uniform, wet and cool, stuck to the body, until it was cold to the bone.

The gas lamps in the tent were relit, and the snowy lights stimulated the officers who had just returned from the darkness, and they felt dizzy for a while. Alexander's light blue eyes glowed with a cold light, and his face looked ashen as a senior officer. We haven't spoken for a long time.

After a long silence, Alexander asked in a voice as cold as ice: "Gentlemen, can any of you tell me what happened? Who attacked our camp?"

The officers looked at each other, but their hearts were not very thoughtful, "Isn't this nonsense? We are in a meeting, Commander, are you not furious and disappointed with us? Only then will you know who is attacking suddenly, maybe, only Almighty God Just known."

Seeing that the officers were silent, Alexander became even more angry, and said sharply, "Gentlemen, let me tell you the truth. I can assure you that the one who attacked us must be the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side. I am in Asia and have served the British Empire." I have been dealing with the Chinese for decades, and I understand their tricks and cleverness, and this kind of sneak attack is in line with the usual practice of the Chinese!"

The senior officers of the British army below curled their lips secretly, disapproving of Alexander's words. You are the supreme commander, so how can you make sense?The night was heavy and rainy, and we didn't even see the attacker's face, so we made such an assertion that by then, it will be you who will lose face, and it has nothing to do with us.

The British officers did not believe Alexander's judgment, but several senior Indian officers agreed with him very much, as if to prove His Excellency Commander's great wisdom and good fortune, a British colonel came in, "Report to the Commander Officer, it has been found out that the one who attacked us was a Chinese soldier, and judging from the corpses left at the scene and the weapons left behind, it can be proved that they were Chinese soldiers!"

As the colonel said, he brought up a military uniform, a steel helmet, and a submachine gun. At this moment, the senior officers of the British army widened their eyes and looked at their commander in admiration. I know, it is indeed an old fritters who have been in Asia for decades, and there is something genuine in my stomach!

The eyes of the officers did not make Alexander feel a little bit excited. On the contrary, he felt ashamed of his correct judgment, "The Chinese army on the opposite side has only about 20 troops. After a day of heavy shelling, the casualties must not be large." How dare you, you have the guts to launch a night attack and treat the more than [-] well-equipped troops of the British Empire as nothing!"

"And the reaction of the soldiers of the British Empire is so unbearable. It is a shame to let the attackers leave safely!" Although Alexander didn't want to know, the damage caused by this attack, and he also believed that it would not be too big, but, The psychological panic caused to the soldiers is immeasurable. If one of the troops under one's own command is randomly selected to launch a night attack on the Chinese army, can such an effect be achieved?

The answer is yes, no, because the soldiers of the British Empire do not have such courage to die. As for the Indian soldiers, he has no hope. This is where Alexander is sad and angry. Listen to the officers below, like flies , "Buzzing" talking about the damage caused by the attacker just now, feeling so tired.

Alexander raised his voice and said coldly: "Gentlemen, it doesn't make any sense to talk about the attackers and losses any longer. What we need to focus on is tomorrow's attack. Remember, General Chobsen, your third division will be sent tomorrow." As the main force to attack the Chinese army, I will order all artillery groups, tank units, and air force bombers to cooperate with your attack.”[

"I will not be stingy with medicine. The artillery and bombs of the British Empire Army will blow up the position of the Chinese army in Xiduo into the most desolate place. I will give you what is due to you. Master Qiao Busen, I order you , before [-]:[-] noon tomorrow, you must take down the blocking position of the Chinese army in Xiduo, otherwise, you will become the first major general in your army to be dismissed or shot because you missed the opportunity and failed to complete the order. I hope to hear good news from you before noon tomorrow! The meeting is over!"

After finishing speaking, he left behind a group of stunned generals, and walked away angrily. That Commander Qiao Busen's face turned red and white, and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose. Airplanes, heavy artillery, and tanks were all dispatched during the day. He even mobilized infantry from two divisions to attack in turn, but failed to take down the Chinese army's position.

Relying on his own division and being a second-rate unit that has never fought a battle, it only took half a day to gnaw at that hard bone. Qiao Busen was on the verge of tears. He didn't know that it was his own bad luck. It's still a matter of luck, how could he be favored by this moody old guy to complete this almost impossible task.

If Qiaobsen knew that Commander Alexander thought of his grand remarks in the forest where he was avoiding the attack, Qiaobsen himself would definitely slap himself several times and curse him loudly. "What a mouthful, misfortune comes out of your mouth! What's the point of showing off when you have nothing to do?" This also corresponds to an old Chinese saying, "A pouting mule is sold for a donkey's price, and it's cheap on the mouth!"

The night is still as thick as ink, the rain is still falling slowly, and the road is still muddy and slippery as before. On a remote and difficult mountain road from Xiduo to Magao, a group of figures, walking quickly Passing through the tall woods, from time to time someone "plopped" and fell into the muddy water, but they got up without saying a word, and rushed to the front group.

This is the troops of the Northern Burmese Border Guard Area of ​​the Independent Division that was safely withdrawn after the attack on the British and Indian army camps. In the marching team, no one spoke, only the sound of hurried footsteps, and the sound of short passwords when making contact, clearing the way with the sharp soldiers. To the muffled echo of felling shrubs and thorns that hinder the march, it is well known that the farther and quicker one is from the field, the safer one will be.

The commander, Major General Wen Rongcai, was carried away by a temporary stretcher. His body, left thigh and abdomen were wrapped with thick bandages, and the dark red blood stained his military uniform through the bandages. .
