Age of Rebirth

Colonel Liu Xianyong, head of the First Bomber Regiment of the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division, was about to give the order to drop, but he received a call from the commander Le Yiqin, which shocked him a lot. Why?Brit fighters coming?

Hastily turned on the airborne radar and searched the surrounding airspace carefully. Looking at the blank radar screen, Liu Xianyong breathed a sigh of relief, "Report to the commander, I bombed the airspace near the area, but no target was found. Please tell me, should the bombing continue?"

Le Yiqin simply replied: "Follow the original plan!" Then, he ended the call, which made Liu Xianyong baffled and even made a false alarm. A regiment of bombers dropped all the planned targets on both sides of the Hukang River Valley. After the bombing, climbed up one by one, Liu Xianyong looked at the black smoke rising from the ground, and ordered: "The first thousand and 420 chapters of Tang Qiuli's bold plan, all return to the voyage!"

In all fairness, Liu Xianyong did not feel the [excitement] of completing the bombing mission. The reason was that the bombing was not enough for him. At the Myitkyina Air Force Base, Le Yiqin put down the communicator, and regretfully said to the Minister of Operations: "The British guy didn't take the bait." , ordered the fourth regiment of fighter jets to return from the Hukang Valley airspace." He didn't quite understand whether his plan to lure the snake out of the hole failed, or the British became smarter?

The bombing by bombers of the ** Division did not cause much damage to the British and Indian troops. As far as a regiment-level bombing was concerned, the losses were minimal. Liu Xianyong's regiment did not carry out intensive and violent bombing. Watching the bombers of the Chinese squadron disappear into the blue sky, Alexander's light blue eyes were full of worry. [

Now that Tang Qiuli had dispatched the bombers, there was no secret about the concealed advance of the Central Route Army. Now, the only solution was to get out of the long and narrow area of ​​the Hukang River Valley as quickly as possible.Occupy Magao and Myitkyina, and gain a firm foothold in northern Myanmar, otherwise, as long as it is the troops of the Chinese Army Division.Gaining time, blocking the Hukang River Valley's exit to northern Myanmar, what awaits him is Chapter 420 Tang Qiuli's Bold Plan, a protracted war of attrition.

The battlefield is in Burma. Tang Qiuli can afford energy consumption, but Alexander can't afford it. His logistics supply base.In Imphal, India, the deeper the troops went into Myanmar, the longer the supply line would be pulled. Therefore, for the bombing operation of the bombers of the Imperial Division just now, Alexander interpreted it as slowing down the marching speed of his troops.

Tang Qiuli's main force is still in the Malay Peninsula.It will take time to transfer to northern Myanmar, such a harassing bombing.It was for him to mobilize the troops to buy time, so Alexander's order to the troops was "advance at the fastest speed!"

A series of air strikes that followed further confirmed his judgment. From the four directions of Ledo, Sujiya, Gamai, and Xintaiji, the four British divisions that served as the assisting mission for the campaign entered northern Myanmar. At the same time, a telegram was sent to the headquarters.Both said that "at about [-] o'clock this morning, our troops were bombarded continuously and violently by the bombers of the ** Division, and the advance of the troops was blocked."

Bombed, Alexander believed, however.If it comes to violent bombing, he doesn't really believe it. The bombers of the Grand Division, with more than 20 troops crowded on both sides of the Hukang River Valley, will not come to violent bombing, but will attack your mere division's troops marching in the dense forest area. , carrying out heavy bombing, is Tang Qiuli sick?

There is only one purpose, to slow down the speed of our army and buy time for him to mobilize troops. Therefore, the commanders of the four divisions of the British army in Alexander gave the same order, "This is a harassing bombing that slows down the speed of our army." , Don't worry about it, speed up the march, enter northern Myanmar as soon as possible, and then launch, capture the intended target, and cooperate with the main force's offensive in northern Myanmar!"

In all fairness, Le Yiqin's bomber unit bombed the British troops in the four directions of Ledo, Sugia, Gamai, and Xintaiji. The effect was not ideal. The reason is very simple. , all walking are remote mountain roads, except for the lush and dense forest, there are few areas with a wide view.

Most of the bombs were thrown into the forest. As for how many British and Indian soldiers were killed, only God knows. However, the British and Indian troops of these four divisions have never been bombed by air raids, let alone bombs roaring and falling on their heads. In addition, the bombing intensity and the number of bombers dispatched are several times higher than the bombing intensity of the Hukang Valley, and they are attacking in turn. Therefore, the report to Alexander was violently bombed, and it seemed that the bombing was very miserable. mean.

It was the appearance of the bombers of the [-]th Division that reminded Alexander. He said to the combat staff: "Order, Lieutenant General Bright, Commander of the Air Force Garrisoned in India, your department immediately dispatches all fighter planes to eliminate the enemies of Ledo, Sugia, The troops in the direction of Gamai and Xintaiji, the bombers of the First Division bombing, in addition, carry out saturation bombing on Magao and Myitkyina to completely eliminate the threat from the [Chinese] Chinese from the air. This order is executed immediately! Otherwise, the military law Love, you have to take full responsibility!"

Alexander had to add these two sentences at the end of the order. From the bottom of his heart, he didn’t feel any favor for the guys in the Air Force. Back then, when the British troops stationed in the Indochina Peninsula were withdrawing to Mandalay, they encountered Seeing the indiscriminate bombing by [Japanese] planes, I repeatedly asked for air support. These guys only sent a dozen fighter jets to deal with it.

I didn't even see the shadow of the [Japanese] bomber, and hurriedly turned around the Yindun River before returning home. At that time, my subordinates were blown to pieces by the [Japanese] plane, blood The miserable scene of the river being dyed red and the corpses of the soldiers flowing eastward along the torrential river is still unforgettable to Alexander.

What's even more exasperating is that the British air force stationed in the Indochina Peninsula, which was originally under his command, had just heard gunfire from the [Japanese], and these guys, without receiving their orders, set up the plane and flew away. It seems that they ran to the East Indies, leaving behind poor infantry, who were devastated by [Japanese] planes.

It's just that after I escaped to India, I was left out in the cold and lost power, so I didn't have the ability to find trouble with these guys. Today is different. I am the commander-in-chief of the Indian Army and has the right to mobilize all troops, including those who are usually arrogant, The pay is good, and when there is a war, the air force who thinks about running away will force them to fight no matter what. If they dare to disobey their orders, Commander Alexander does not mind using the heads of air force officers to stand up!

Tang Qiuli used aerial bombing to slow down the speed of the British and Indian troops, and Alexander judged it. However, Alexander was very wrong in judging the final goal. This fatal mistake was enough to lead to an entire army. Annihilated fiasco.

The troops of the ** division are not being mobilized to northern Myanmar, including the later mobilized Sulu Mobile Corps, which are basically in place, facing the northern Myanmar in the four directions of Ledo, Sugiya, Gamai, and Xintaiji At every exit, there are two brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps defending, and it is still a pocket formation, waiting for the British and Indian troops to drill.

For the British and Indian troops of the four lightly armed divisions, the Sulu Mobile Corps, which has an absolute advantage in both strength and firepower, can encircle and wipe them out effortlessly. In the direction of Ma Gao, the troops of the eight brigades directly under the Corps have At the pre-ambush location, we waited for Alexander's more than 20 troops to drill out of the Hukang River Valley, crash into the ambush circle, and wipe them out in one fell swoop.

However, in the ambush circle near Magao, Tang Qiuli's commanded troops did not have an advantage. The eight brigades directly under the corps had 13 troops, and the British and Indian troops had more than 20 troops. It seemed very dangerous. Surround it five times, wipe it out ten times." The stuffing is big and thin, so you're afraid that you won't be able to swallow it in one bite, and it will burst?

Regarding this question, the ** division chief of staff Zhao Yu and the major general raised questions cautiously. He said to Tang Qiuli who was looking at the map of the Hukang River Valley at the Magao headquarters: "Master, at present, the British and Indian troops The intention is already obvious, the enemy army marching along the Hukang River Valley is its main force, according to the aerial reconnaissance report, there are more than 20 people, and it is also equipped with a large number of tanks, and its firepower is also very strong."

After looking at Tang Qiuli, the division commander who was calm but obviously listening carefully, Zhao Yuhe continued: "The troops we set up in an ambush near Magao are far less than the British and Indian troops. Therefore, I suggest that we transfer another six to eight brigades of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps to participate in the Magao ambush. Is this safer? Moreover, according to the current position and advancing speed of the British and Indian troops, we should mobilize our troops again , completely in time!" [

Tang Qiuli nodded approvingly after listening to Zhao Yuhe's words, and said, "Yuhe, I'm very glad that you can speak your mind directly in front of me, and you can put forward your own suggestions. I am worried that you have been away from the division headquarters for too long, and you cannot let go of your hands and feet to work because of various concerns, now, I am relieved."

Zhao Yuhe's complexion changed, and he replied solemnly: "Master, as your chief of staff, it is the main responsibility of the chief of staff to express your feelings and provide your own reference opinions for the teacher's decision, even if the teacher doesn't like it. I'm also blunt!"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Okay! Yuhe, that's how it should be. I don't like to be arbitrary and talk about it. Well, I'll give you an analysis of the reason why I set up an ambush in Magao with my current strength. , and save you from worrying!"

Tang Qiuli first took out a file bag, and after opening it, he took out a few pages, patted them lightly, and said playfully: "Before deciding on the battle mode, the first thing I need to know is my opponent, how many A few hours ago, I received information from the intelligence office that the supreme commander of the British army commanding hundreds of thousands of British and Indian troops to invade northern Myanmar is called Alexander."

Looking at Tang Qiuli's expression, Zhao Yuhe seemed to have a trace of ridicule, so he asked very strangely: "Teacher, are you familiar with this Alexander?"! ! !
