Age of Rebirth

From Tang Qiuli's point of view, the reason why Churchill, regardless of the domestic crisis, insisted on taking action against himself in northern Burma and wanting to take back the original colonies was due to one aspect of the reason. It is a warning that the war potential of the British is far from exhausted.

It is normal to understand that before an opponent is completely defeated, he will not attack another opponent. This is where Hitler hesitated, and there was a telegram inviting Tang Qiuli to visit Germany secretly. Tang Qiuli, who was at war with the British, came to answer his questions, or in other words, to make up his mind.

Of course, this is Tang Qiuli's own guess about Churchill's actions. Although he has the memory of later generations, he has some perverse and unreasonable views about the British Prime Minister, one of the four giants of the Allied Powers in history. The way of doing it is also based on guesswork, and it will not be seen in historical materials. However, Churchill's way obviously frightened Hitler.

Let him be hesitant, otherwise, with the stubborn and crazy character of the German head of state, when the German army has swept across the European continent, has already defeated its opponents, and is triumphant all the way, facing the enemies of the Soviets, he will definitely not be able to suppress his murderous intentions, and history will continue to follow. The original track glide, the German-Soviet battle, broke out in late June of this year.

However, history turned a corner here, because Hitler turned to Tang Qiuli for help, and Tang Qiuli, a descendant, came through time. The evildoer of the two generations, everything changed, became beyond recognition, and affected the subsequent generations. From this point of view, Churchill has done Tang Qiuli a big favor in terms of the direction of the war and the world structure, and he should thank the crazy British Prime Minister. [

Now that the Deutsche Yuan issued a sincere invitation, which Tang Qiuli had dreamed of, the two hit it off, and Tang Qiuli personally wrote a reply message. I will fly to Berlin, please prepare beer, sausages and grilled fish, after several years, I still often relive the wonderful taste!"

Then.Carefully put the draft of the telegram into a kraft paper file bag, seal it, and let Liu Xinlan call Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, and ordered: "Chen Feng, activate the secret radio station to contact the German Fuhrer's Palace. Send this telegram. Don’t let the second person know. It’s a big deal. It needs to be double-encrypted. When sending the telegram, no one except me is allowed to approach the secret telegram room. You and Shanhu need to discuss the specific security measures. Do it at once."

Tang Qiuli had to be cautious.The Allied Powers and the Axis Powers are two hostile camps. The two sides are fighting to the death. I am the first deputy commander in chief of the Allied Forces Theater.But flirting with the number one figure in the Axis countries, he was on the verge of asking for help, and he had to fly to Germany in person, not to mention being suppressed by several parties if it was leaked. The traitors and traitors accused by thousands of people?

Politicians from various countries have done things that risk the world's disgrace, especially in the turbulent world situation and the war environment filled with gunpowder everywhere, they fought you to death yesterday.It's not uncommon to see people calling themselves brothers and sisters today. The so-called "ugly things happen to everyone, and those who don't "reveal" them are masters." From this point of view, Tang Qiuli's caution cannot be overstated.

Complete the telegram to the German Führer.A major event that touched Tang Qiu's mind finally settled down. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff comfortably, enjoying it like a fairy. Wrinkling his little nose, he stretched out his hand to disperse the smoke in front of his eyes, and was about to warn him a few words.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in in a hurry, Liu Xinlan swallowed the words obediently, but just let out a dissatisfied "hum" and gave him a sideways glance. Mei Ting, Mei Xue, including Liu Xinlan, all strongly opposed Tang Qiuli's smoking , The reason is very good, it affects his health, and there is no restriction on his drinking, which makes Tang Qiuli want to smoke because he is addicted to smoking in the division headquarters.

Zhao Yuhe took the two telegrams, nodded slightly to Liu Xinlan, said hello, and then said: "Master, I received a call from the two brigade commanders Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan. It started smoothly, and so far, there have been dozens of battles. The British and Indian troops used tanks as assault forces, and the offensive was very fierce. At around [-]:[-] in the afternoon, our troops retreated to the Xinduo line."

Tang Qiuli did not accept the telegram that Zhao Yuhe handed over, but said with a smile: "The two of them, it's not just as simple as reporting the battle situation, especially that Xiao Jinshan, I don't allow the use of cannons and tanks. The main force still has to pretend to be unable to withstand the attack and to retreat steadily. It must be uncomfortable to fight such a battle, Yuhe, tell me, what the hell do they have in mind?"

Zhao Yuhe was amazed. The teacher knew the personalities and characteristics of the senior generals below very well, guessed their thoughts, and admired them to the point.

Zhao Yuhe replied with a smile: "The division commander really guessed it right. The two brigade commanders Xiao and Fang suggested that they ask the division commander for approval. The two brigades will work together to establish a blockade line in Xinduo, and use Xinduo's terrain conditions to head-to-head. Fight against the fast-moving British and Indian troops, so as to kill their vigor and slow down the speed of the British and Indian troops!"

Tang Qiuli said without hesitation: "No, tell Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan not to think about fighting a big battle. Their current tactics are to create favorable conditions for the complete annihilation of Alexander's main force. Whether they fight well or not , will directly affect the progress of the campaign, this must be made clear to them."

"In addition, Xinduo's blocking strength must not be too high. There are still more than two hours before dark. After eight o'clock tomorrow morning, let Alexander's main force pass Xinduo and order Ledo, Sujiya, Gamai , The troops in the direction of Xintaiji have stepped up their blocking efforts, slowing down the speed of the British and Indian troops, and there is a one-day time difference with Alexander's main force."

At around 27:[-] p.m. on April [-], Alexander's Central Route Army's vanguard force, the [-]st Division, the main force of the British Army in India, entered a distance of five kilometers from Xinduo. The division commander, Major General Fisher, was about to order a regiment of the vanguard force , Tanks attached to two battalions launched an attack on Xinduo. The British and Indian troops attacked behind the starting point, and the heavy artillery of the British and Indian troops had already begun to build artillery positions.

The division commander, Major General Fisher, led a large group of staff officers to observe the terrain of Xinduo at the front. Under the twilight, the small town of Xinduo was silent. Like a silent stone, the sound of the Hukang River's flowing water screamed slightly under the setting sun, and the broad river surface was beating with flame-like reflections of the setting sun.

On the periphery of Xinduo, there is a thick wall made of large stones, about five meters high. On the wall, there are still watchtowers and mottled vegetation. Underneath, there is a dark light with a cool tone, showing antiquity and vicissitudes. This is a typical cold weapon era with an effective defense structure. On the main throat of northern Myanmar.

The Hukang River flows through the middle of Xinduo Town, dividing the town into two halves, the north and the south. Three stone bridges connect the towns separated on both sides into a whole. The winding road from East India is not wide in the first place. On the west side of the town, it narrows suddenly, and you have to climb more than a dozen stone steps to enter the town. From the overall layout, Xinduo is a militarized fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There is a stone wall outside and narrow roads. No matter how many troops there are, because of the limited terrain, there is only one choice for the attack point. Limits, any commander will have a headache or be at a loss for such terrain conditions.

However, in the eyes of the division commander, Major General Fisher, everything is fine. This seemingly fortified, easy-to-defend small town can stop thousands of soldiers charging on horseback, but it cannot stop the well-equipped , marching forward, armed with artillery and tanks of the British Empire Army.

Major General Fisher is fully confident that his artillery can blast this town into ruins in just three to ten minutes. Any defense facility will be vulnerable under the flying artillery. The number one main force of the Indian Army, in the First Division, more than 10% of the soldiers are British soldiers. [

Moreover, the ordinary mixed division of the British and Indian Army has only one artillery regiment, while the first division of Major General Fisher has two artillery regiments, one of which is a heavy artillery regiment equipped with American 155 caliber howitzers, and two artillery regiments In the regiment, a volley fires hundreds of thousands of cannons. As long as the teacher is willing, he is not stingy with the cannons, even a small mountain can be cut in half.

A communication soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back ran quickly to the division commander, Major General Fisher, who was pointing fingers at Xin Duo. "Mr. Commander, the commander of the artillery regiment has reported that the artillery position has been built. Please tell me the time for the bombardment?"

Major General Fisher looked at his watch, nodded in satisfaction, and said to the staff around him: "Okay! Our artillery moves very quickly, probably Colonels Buffett and Colonel Hughes, who are already impatient, as if seeing the East Like a beautiful woman, all the way from Xiduo to here, the poor artillerymen were useless, and the Chinese ran away before their cannons were ready."

A group of staff officers laughed together and heard their superiors expressing emotion there. Major General Fisher said more and more showy: "Now, I will give them a chance to let their rusty barrels smell of gunpowder. Son, poor Chinese soldiers, their dinner is no longer feed, but cannons flying all over the sky, which will make them unforgettable for a lifetime."

Then, he said in a tone: "My soldiers will enter the town in four or ten minutes. Oh, my God, I hope I can keep a complete house, otherwise, I will sleep again." Damn the tent, well, gentlemen, let's enjoy the fireworks of death! Give my order, and the bombardment will start in 10 minutes."
