Age of Rebirth

Good memories are always intoxicating. Of course, Commander Alexander also received a call from Major General Hopkins, the commander of the [-]rd Division, to inform Fischer about his showy behavior.

This didn't affect Alexander's mood. At this moment, Fisher's little trick was like a naughty child. He looked at his subordinate's transgression with a tolerant attitude. There was one thing that Alexander firmly believed in. No matter how showy Fisher is, he can't get out of his own shadow.

The supreme commander of the army is himself, and all the credit for his subordinates can be attributed to his good command!In other words, the more military exploits your subordinates have, the higher your image will be, and this is the reason why a rising tide raises all boats.

When the artillery group of the Independent Division, the overwhelming artillery fire suddenly arrived, Alexander stared with incredible eyes, watching a column of smoke and flames rising a few kilometers in front of him, like a giant ax falling from the sky, The troops were cut off at the middle, and the Meisi Kailing Highway became a slaughterhouse of death in the blink of an eye.

After Alexander reacted, the first order he gave was, "Immediately order all the troops to stop advancing and retreat quickly!" It was easy to give orders, and most of the troops that could execute the orders were shrouded in smoke. [

When Alexander's jeep was more than [-] kilometers away from the shelling area, he came to his senses and hurriedly ordered to stop. The chief of staff, Lieutenant General Adams, reported dejectedly: "Your Excellency, most of the troops have lost Contact, only the rearguard and supply troops, follow your order, retreat quickly."

God Alexander's eyes looked at the overwhelming cannons and the black smoke that exploded, and asked consciously, "How many troops have been withdrawn?"

Lieutenant General Adams said in a low voice: "Including the supply troops, there are only more than [-] people, our main force. They are all within the range of the Chinese army's shelling. I left a brigade of support troops. I just asked, I didn't see a single soldier withdrawing!"

Alexander's pupils were dilated.Staring at the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Adams, he said almost to himself, "Why? Why is this happening? Can anyone tell me why this is happening?"

No one could answer the question, which even the commander himself could not figure out. Alexander suddenly grabbed Adams by the collar nervously, and shouted loudly: "Order the troops, attack immediately. We must break through the encirclement of Tang Qiuli's troops! Soldiers rescued!"

Chief of Staff Adams looked at the commander who was on the verge of collapse with pity. He didn't speak, and let him hold on to his collar. He knew what the commander was saying now.It's a manifestation of loss of sanity and collapse, not to mention just the non-main force of more than 8 people, there are another 8 people.Throwing into such a meaningless battle is also the result of annihilation of the entire army.

The artillery fire of the Chinese army almost hit half the sky red. How many soldiers can the British Empire have to fill it in?It's not the time to die. The ambushed troops have only one way to die, Adams knew very well.

Alexander suddenly let go of his hand, and collapsed on the armchair of the jeep.He said to himself: "The conspiracy, the trap, is a huge conspiracy and trap from the beginning to the end. That damn Chinese, that sinister and cunning Chinese, his main force, has long been waiting for me in northern Myanmar. Why? Why would I be fooled?"

Adams looked at Alexander who was talking to himself.Regarding the current situation, there is no order at all. The troops of more than 8 people just stay in this wilderness, watching the smoke and flames soaring to the sky on the Meisi Kai Ridge in the distance, feeling under their feet, The trembling ground, a trace of coolness, uncontrollably penetrated into the bones, and the face was full of fear!

If the troops continue to stay here, Adams can't guarantee that the 8 people may disperse and become a rout. Moreover, once Tang Qiuli's troops chase up, none of them will be able to escape!

Adams said as calmly as possible: "Your Excellency, this is not a time for us to be sad. You should issue an order that the troops retreat to East India along the original route of the Hukang River Valley. Otherwise, we will be in danger!"

Alexander nodded blankly. In fact, in his mind, he was thinking about why he was defeated so badly all of a sudden. How did that Tang Qiuli pre-set so many cannons on his way in?Of course, there are still the main corps that haven't shown up. Did he fall into Tang Qiuli's trap from the very beginning?

He just nodded subconsciously in agreement with Adams' words, but this did not prevent Adams from issuing an order for the entire army to retreat in the name of the commander. , with the fastest speed, return the same way, although there is no pursuit of the independent division behind, they still retreat like a frightened bird.

At about 28:[-] p.m. on April [-], the ambush on Meisikai Ridge was coming to an end. Tang Qiuli stepped out of the shelter and looked into the distance. 』Out of the whole picture, the setting sun is like blood, and the forests are completely dyed. Among the lush greenery everywhere, a scorched curve winds through the mountains.

That is the main battlefield of the Magao ambush. The artillery of the independent division used 10,000+ cannons and tens of thousands of rockets to create a scorched land area tens of kilometers long and ten kilometers wide, burying green, 10,000+ British and Indian soldiers, from the start of the battle to the end, it took only two hours and ten minutes, clean and tidy.

The progress of the battle was relatively smooth. More than ten days of hard work and careful planning finally brought about today's results. After this battle, the main force of the British garrison in India was lost. It belongs to myself. On the land of the Indochina Peninsula, in less than three years, the Japanese and the British have been defeated in a row. The Chinese have really gained a firm foothold on this land!

Taking a deep breath of the air full of gunpowder smoke and blood, Tang Qiuli felt a wave of heat surge in his chest, which was like blood but not blood, swelling his heart, full of pride, so that he couldn't help but want to shout to the sky, the west wind Lie Lie, blowing a corner of his military uniform, mottled hair floated up, and the sunset glow all over the sky, covered him with a layer of blood-colored colorful clothes.

Liu Xinlan, who was right behind him, looked at the man she loved, that not generous back, unexpectedly from him at this moment, she could see the sharpness that pierced through history, the mixture of contempt for the world and inner loneliness. It's just that this man at this moment is so far away from me.

Liu Xinlan let go of all the thoughts in her heart, walked lightly to Tang Qiuli, and said softly: "Qiuli, the wind is blowing, let's go back!" Tang Qiuli turned her head and smiled at her beloved woman. , came back again, making her almost doubt whether what she saw and felt just now was a dream? [

Seeing Liu Xinlan's concerned eyes, Tang Qiuli smoothed her long hair, and said, "Xinlan, the troops are going to chase overnight, and the personnel in the division headquarters must form a capable command team to follow the troops. , In this way, you and the remaining personnel will return to Magao together, and the next march will be very tense and difficult, and you will save me from worrying about you when you go back!"

Liu Xinlan's face was full of reluctance, she was really reluctant and worried, Tang Qiuli had no one to take care of her, and just about to ask for it, she saw Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe walking over excitedly, shouting happily from afar : "Teacher, great victory! An unprecedented victory!" Liu Xinlan swallowed the words she had slapped knowingly.

Tang Qiuli looked at him with a smile, and said half-jokingly: "Oh, if we can make our Chief of Staff Zhao happy like this, the result of the battle must not be small, let's talk about it!"

Zhao Yuhe held a stack of manuscript papers and said, "Master, the battle reports of each brigade have been counted. After more than two hours of fighting, the British and Indian troops in the ambush circle, about 14 people, were shot down by artillery fire. More than 8 people were killed and more than 4 were captured, almost all of whom were wounded. It can be said that apart from the British and Indian soldiers who died in battle, our prisoners of war were more than [-] wounded.”

Tang Qiuli pretended to be serious and asked: "Chief of Staff Zhao, the statistics of the battle results are not rigorous enough. There are still nearly 2 people. Where did they go?"

Zhao Yuhe hurriedly said: "Master, I haven't finished my report yet. As for the more than 2 British and Indian soldiers, no matter what, they couldn't find their bodies. According to Artillery Commander Zheng Yong, they should be covered by rockets. , disappeared, so it can only be listed as missing! This is the data obtained from the surprise interrogation of prisoners of war by our various brigades."

"In addition, Brigadier Liu Hongzhang of the First Brigade in charge of the westernmost position of the ambush circle reported that about an hour ago, the British and Indian troops who did not enter the ambush circle, about 9 to [-] people, had gone to the Hukang Valley Direction to retreat."

Tang Qiuli smiled sarcastically and said: "Alexander has suffered a great loss. Now, thinking of running back, it's too late and he has no chance. Order the troops in the direction of Ledo, Sugiya, Gamai, and Xintaiji, Quickly encircle the target, and wipe out the British and Indian troops in front of you before [-]:[-] am tomorrow at the latest, and then immediately rush towards Xiduo."

"Order, all the troops of the 11th, [-]th, and [-]th Brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps lurking near Xiduo and the Chutian Department of the Special Operations Detachment should capture Xiduo by [-]:[-] p.m. tomorrow at the latest. At the same time, No.[-] The brigade sent a regiment of troops to the Ramgarh area of ​​East India to monitor the situation of other British and Indian troops."

"Order, the Le Yiqin Department of the Southern Flying Group of the Air Force will start air supplying heavy equipment and supplies to the troops on the front line of Xiduo starting tomorrow morning. Troops, carry out uninterrupted bombing and air strikes until the battle is all over!"

Zhao Yuhe replied with the loudest voice: "Yes, Commander! Immediately convey the order to all troops!" Looking at Zhao Yuhe's hurried back, Tang Qiuli said softly: "Alexander, we will meet again soon! "
