Age of Rebirth

At 28 o'clock in the morning on April [-]th, Ma Gao, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe was on the phone at the frontline headquarters of the Kuomintang Division's Northern Burma Campaign, "Commander Le? Aerial reconnaissance information in the surrounding area, yes, we need it right away. (This chapter was uploaded by a friend)”

After a while, Zhao Yuhe walked into the combat room with a telegram, and said to the division commander Tang Qiuli who was carefully observing in front of the large military map: "Mr. Commander, the reconnaissance information of the aviation unit has been obtained!"

Tang Qiuli didn't look back, and said, "Yuhe, let's talk about the situation. After spending today's time in the Hukang River Valley, I finally entered northern Burma. At this moment, Alexander is probably rushing towards Magao in a hurry. !"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Yes, Commander, the situation detected by the air force is indeed true Stop for a short time, and then go straight to Magao. So far, there are still about eight hours away from Magao. According to the current marching speed of the British and Indian troops, they will reach Magao around 440 o'clock this afternoon. "

"Moreover, after we lowered the blocking intensity, the British and Indian troops in the direction of Ledo, Sugia, Gamai, and Xintaiji moved forward significantly faster. They did not get entangled with our small blocking troops along the way. The distance of the Central Route Army was shortened to about half a day, and the direction was very clear, pointing to other important targets in northern Myanmar except Magao and Myitkyina.” [

Tang Qiuli turned around and said: "Oh, Alexander paid attention to the coordinated attack. The ninth brigade and the tenth brigade abandoned Xinduo. It seems that he did not arouse much suspicion. If we are in the other four directions, no Reduce the intensity of the blocking and push the British and Indian troops too hard. Based on Alexander's experience, he will definitely stay in Xinduo. Wait for the other four-way assist troops to follow."

"Alexander's tactic is to launch a hustle everywhere in northern Myanmar, and take advantage of the fact that our main army has not arrived, and seize the time to attack the city and seize the territory. Control the entire northern Myanmar region, Chapter 440 Three ambushes, the battle of Magao! ([-] ) The four-way British and Indian Army occupied other key points in northern Myanmar. Alexander commanded the main force to fight Magao and Myitkyina. of."

"However. My old friend, I'm afraid I'm going to be disappointed. By the way, Yuhe, did the plane that picked up Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan land at Magao?"

Zhao Yuhe replied: "We arrived 10 minutes ago. Now, the brigade commanders Xiao and Fang are in the conference room."

Tang Qiuli looked at his watch. There were still more than 30 minutes before he left the meeting.Then he said to Zhao Yuhe, "Yuhe, invite the two of them to the war room, and talk to them while there is still some time!"

As soon as Zhao Yuhe walked to the door of the meeting room, he heard a loud voice from inside saying: "I said old nine, old ten, walk around the Hukang River Valley, lead the British and Indian soldiers by the nose, every day It's a good job to fight a war. Why are you two wilting like eggplants beaten by Shuang? You don't know, but it makes us so greedy!"

In the conference room, a burst of good-natured laughter broke out, and then.It was a few other brigade commanders who asked about the battle situation inquisitively and made a lot of noise. Although Zhao Yuhe had not returned to the division headquarters for a long time and also served as the chief of staff of the corps directly under him, he also It can be heard that the loud voice is Chu Ziye, the commander of the [-]th Brigade directly under the Corps. Apart from him, no one else has made such a big noise.

When Zhao Yu and Men'er came in, the brigade commanders stopped talking and greeted him one after another. Zhao Yuhe nodded with a smile. In front of the dozen or so brigade commanders directly under the regiment, he didn't have any capital to show his old status. , Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan seemed to be in low spirits and preoccupied, Zhao Yuhe said with a smile: "Brigade Commander Xiao and Fang, Master, please go over there."

Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan looked at each other, got up and followed Zhao Yuhe and left. The figures of the three disappeared into the meeting room, and the remaining brigade commanders wondered what the division commander meant.

Liu Hongzhang, the brigade commander of the first brigade, said: "I'm talking about the fourth one. With your loud voice, you can make a noise like thunder. Don't you think it's too loud? Why do you sound a bit sour inside and out?" , Old Ninth and Old Ten are not in a good mood, didn't you see through Chu's loud voice? I reckon, in the past two or three days in the Hukang River Valley, the Ninth Brigade and the Tenth Brigade are probably at a disadvantage. Otherwise, what about the teacher? Find them alone!"

Speaking of which, the more than a dozen brigade commanders directly under the Corps, in private, do not call each other's positions, but follow the order of battle, from the first brigade to the No. At this moment, Liu Hongzhang, the commander of the first brigade, trembled and assumed the posture of the boss at every turn.

But none of the other dozen or so brigade commanders were fuel-efficient, especially Chu Ziye, the commander of the fourth brigade, was even more unconvinced. No, when he heard Liu Hongzhang's words, he rolled his eyes and said, "What? As far as the commanding experience of Lao Jiu and Lao Shi is concerned, if you suffer a loss in such a battle, can you still stay in the corps directly under it? As long as you are well-informed, oh, by the way, we can't compare with you, Brigadier Liu, How should I put it, you have also been a staff officer by the teacher's side for a period of time, and you have a deep understanding of it!"

In the meeting room, there was a burst of laughter, well, this is Liu Hongzhang’s weakness, his best friend and competitor Chu Ziye, from time to time, would use it to talk about things and beat Liu Hongzhang, especially when he was putting on the boss posture , and even called him "Liu Gaocan!" in a serious manner. He hated Liu Hongzhang so much that his teeth were itchy, but there was nothing he could do.

Compared with Chu Ziye's theory, Chu Ziye plausibly said, "I have a basis for this, major general staff, can my identity be compared with those lieutenant-level staff officers? Where is the identity? Our ** division is from the division to the various corps. There must be more than 100 major generals. You, Brigadier Liu, are the first major general to serve as a staff officer. Except for the chief of staff, you have the final say. In order to show the difference, it is most appropriate to call him a senior officer. !"

As soon as Chu Ziye's words came out, Liu Hongzhang froze at that moment. He waited angrily for the triumphant Chu Ziye to take a look, and shut his mouth. The other dozen or so brigade commanders were laughing up and down. There was no big battle coming. Feeling nervous at the moment, the staff officers passing by heard hearty laughter and glanced curiously into the meeting room. Good guy, the room is full of generals shining, dare to love, all the bosses of the brigades directly under the Corps are there.

The atmosphere in the conference room was cheerful and relaxed. These brigade commanders who followed the division commander Tang Qiuli from the northeast to the Indochina Peninsula had seen many big scenes, and they didn't pay attention to Alexander's 10,000+ British and Indian troops. Here, the generals directly under the corps, the ability to command operations is not comparable to the British and Indian generals who have been nesting in India and have never seen blood.

Absolute self-confidence is based on confidence in one's own strength. What's more, for ambush warfare, these brigade commanders, who haven't learned a few skills from their teacher Tang Qiuli, are ready to set up their nets. The tension when the war is approaching.

Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan arrived in the war room. As soon as they saw Tang Qiuli, Xiao Jinshan said, "Master, I'm here to review." Brigadier Xiao, I will definitely not see you again!"

Tang Qiuli smiled gently, waved his hands and said, "Sit down, I didn't ask you to make a review. The matter has passed, and it is enough to learn from experience and lessons. I came to you mainly to understand the combat operations of the British and Indian troops. The characteristics and firepower configuration, to be more detailed, the two of you have been entangled with your opponent for several days, and no one has more experience than you!" [

Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan let go of the burden in their hearts, and looked at the teacher's smile gratefully and guiltily. The two of them thought that the teacher would find himself before the meeting. No way, I didn't expect it to be such a result. Tang Qiuli's attitude was more memorable to them than harsh criticism of them.

The two spoke in great detail, including their experience of fighting the British and Indian troops along the way, especially their thoughts in Xinduo. Tang Qiuli listened carefully, bowing his head in thought from time to time. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe , and even wrote down every word they said in the notebook.

Tang Qiuli was in front, followed by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, Xiao Jinshan, and Fang Yuanshan. When they entered the conference room, the brigade commanders stopped talking and laughing, and kept looking at the expressions of Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan. , to verify my inner guess.

Tang Qiuli sat down on the main seat, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "The chat is very lively, the battle is imminent, there is no tense atmosphere, very good, this is the confidence to win, and I also agree with the deployment of the battle." I won’t repeat it, it’s all in the campaign plan, I just want to tell you one piece of news, Alexander is very active, and the speed of progress is faster than expected.”

The spiritual leaders of the brigade commanders suddenly mentioned that the situation on the battlefield has changed, which means that the style of play may also change. Tang Qiuli looked at the generals who were eager to try, and smiled even more happily, and then said: "Don't think about beautiful things. The style of play remains the same, with some small adjustments in some parts. However, the start time of the ambush west of Magao will be more than an hour earlier."

"The start time of the battle is set at [-]:[-] this afternoon. After the battle starts, the ninth and tenth brigades who just came out of the Hukang River Valley will serve as the battle reserve team. Once the British and Indian troops retreat, you two brigades, Just be the leader of the chasing troops. Are you familiar with the terrain? I want to emphasize that everyone is a veteran of ambush warfare. Suddenly, violently, ruthlessly, and quickly, concentrate all the artillery fire to cover the marching ranks of the British and Indian troops. Okay, let’s all go back Get ready!"

Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan, when they first heard that the division commander wanted their two brigades to be the reserve team, they looked depressed. Later, when they heard that they were the forerunners, they were overjoyed, and looked at other colleagues with different eyes.

The brigade commanders all left, looking at the empty conference room, Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, we should go too!"! ! !
