Age of Rebirth

At this time, Winston Churchill, the Prime Minister of the British wartime cabinet, hated Alexander to death. This guy who has shamed the British Empire and lost all the military power in overseas territories has more than enough to die!

Lost in the hands of the Japanese and lost the Indochina Peninsula, Churchill can still understand Alexander's difficulties. After all, in Asia, the Japanese are the well-deserved bosses in the region. This rising industrial country has unprecedented economic and military strength. In Northeast China, the Russians were overthrown, and in Southeast Asia, the Americans daunted.

With a murderous look, quite a bit of savagery, and the courage of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, the British were kicked out of the Indochina Peninsula by the Japanese, and Churchill could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. The reporter said, is it useful to lose your temper?The Japanese don't care about your stuff at all.

But this time, after being defeated by the Chinese, Churchill would never forgive Alexander, the Chinese?Can they also defeat the army of the British Empire?This century-old turbulent, impoverished and weak country has just cut off the braids at the back of its head in just a few decades. Can it be the opponent of the British Imperial Army with the backing of the Americans?

In Churchill's view, the two sides were not rivals on the same level. However, the offensive launched by the British Empire in northern Burma was indeed a failure. This is an unavoidable fact. Waiting for the important task, facing the Chinese who still use the rifles of the [-]th century, they can suffer defeat. How unbearable is Alexander?Unforgivable! [

I wanted to boost the morale of the country by fighting against the Chinese in Asia. Whether it was a bluff or a bluff, Prime Minister Churchill needed this battle, and it was a battle that must be won, so as to show the world.In particular, the Germans showed that the war potential of the British Empire was far from being developed in Asia, which was tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mainland.There is also the ability to initiate a war on its own initiative.

However, it failed and was defeated by the Chinese. All Churchill's wishful thinking was in vain, and the loss of face of the British Empire was only a superficial consequence.The deeper consequence is that the weakness of the British Empire was completely exposed, and all of this was caused by Alexander, who failed to accomplish anything but failed. At this time, Churchill had already murdered Alexander.

However, Churchill was a seasoned politician with his side.There is also no shortage of smart people. There are still more than 8 people stationed in India who need to be brought back to India.This is the basis for the future revival of glory. At this time, if Alexander is dealt with and killed before the battle, it will definitely have a turbulent effect on the troops at the beginning of the defeat. Everyone is in danger, and no one can guarantee what unexpected consequences will happen.

therefore.In the name of the prime minister of the wartime cabinet, Churchill ordered the General Staff to issue an order that the troops stationed in India would still be under the command of Commander Alexander for the time being, and his position would also be temporarily retained.The only task is to ensure that more than 8 people return to India safely.

Behind the scenes, Churchill ordered the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff to form a joint team and send capable senior officers to India. Once Alexander and the remaining troops arrived in India, he would immediately arrest Alexander, replace all senior officers, and send them to India. The members of the team took over all command of the Indian Army and began to purge the troops.

As for his lieutenant general Adams, Churchill didn't even think about it, and sneered in his heart, "Alexander made a good plan, and his chief of staff took over the post of commander. In spite of your kindness, why don’t you be confessed as a benefactor? Indirectly, the troops stationed in India are still under their own control.”

The cunning Churchill will never give Alexander, who has humiliated himself, any chance to make a comeback. In all fairness, Churchill is a bit too sensitive and a villain. , is still an orthodox British soldier, and will never do these sneaky things.

Nai, the British Prime Minister Churchill himself is a politician who is good at playing tricks and conspiring endlessly. According to his understanding, what Alexander did must be a conspiracy. However, in the eyes of his great conspirator, This kind of little trick is too childish. Since Churchill had such thoughts, one can imagine the tragic end of Alexander.

The order from the British Army's General Staff was quickly conveyed, and Alexander, who was still being treated in Xinduo in the Hukang Valley, looked at the telegram from the highest local military command, and rubbed his eyes in disbelief. , shed tears of excitement, he didn't expect that the country still had such trust in him after losing so badly.

Alexander swore secretly in his heart, "The remaining troops will be brought back to India no matter what, and in his lifetime, he will train another elite army for the British Empire. Our capital, one day, the Union Jack of the British Empire will still be flying on the land of the Indochina Peninsula."

Alexander, who had been lying down for a few days, suddenly regained his energy, and even got out of bed by himself, looking quite refreshed. It seemed that a telegram from China, like a panacea, made his heart trouble go away.

Looking at the energetic Commander and Chief of Staff Adams beside him, I feel a little lost in my heart. How could this be the result of the matter?Is my luck too bad, or Alexander's luck is too good?The telegram from the General Staff Headquarters did not even have a word of accusation or reprimand, and the matter of the defeat in northern Burma was lightly revealed in this way, which was unexpected by Adams.

Alexander looked at Adams who was distracted, and said, "Dear Adams, you have worked hard these few days. Now, immediately convey my order that the troops should not stay in Xinduo for too long. After replenishing supplies, set off immediately. , leave a full brigade in Xinduo, build fortifications, and prepare to stop Tang Qiuli's troops chasing after them."

"I have a hunch that that hateful and despicable Chinese, his troops, are not far away from us, so, Adams, leave all the heavy weapons and as much supplies and medicine as possible to the Xinduo defenders, they The task is to block the independent division's pursuit of troops in Xinduo for more than three days, and then, you can decide the route and method of retreat by yourself!"

Adams agreed in a bad spirit, and Alexander didn't think much about it. He thought that his chief of staff had been overworked these days, and continued to say with concern: "Dear Adams, after all this work, go and rest. By the way, there is , Immediately send a telegram to Brest, the garrison commander of Xiduo, to prepare the supplies and supplies needed by the troops in advance, that confused guy must tell him!"

Adams was busy conveying orders. He walked out of the tent that smelled like medicine, put his hands on his hips, and looked towards the west of the Hukang River Valley. The greenery was everywhere. The Hukang River was flowing eastward in rough waves. If you advance all the way like a broken bamboo, you will think that now, you will retreat sadly. When you come, there are thousands of troops and the momentum is like a tiger. When you return, the remnants are defeated and dejected. Life is really normal!

Alexander shook his head, trying to expel these bad emotions from his mind, "In another five days, we can safely reach the Plum area in East India. If Tang Qiuli's troops don't catch up, he will Lost the last chance, five days, only five days, Tang Qiuli, the hatred between me and you, the law will be resolved!"

Alexander, who gritted his teeth and hated Tang Qiuli to the bone, believed that the troops of the independent division did not follow closely. It was his luck and that of the more than 8 remnants. It can be seen that Alexander's thinking was still at the level of World War I. Knowing that the line is flat, parallel pursuit, and he claims to be a master of China, how can he understand the essence of the ancient Chinese art of war?

Just when the remnants of the British and Indian Army were resting and taking a breath in Xinduo, they surrounded and annihilated eight brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, more than [-] people, along the route when the British and Indian troops invaded northern Myanmar. , with the Hukang River Valley as the center, it is divided into four north-south roads, and it is inserted in many directions to the west. [

In order to gain time for the troops of the Sulu Mobile Corps, interspersed with Xiduo, the twelve brigades of the directly subordinate regiments chasing along the Hukang River Valley deliberately slowed down. The two vanguard regiments kept a two-day distance from the British and Indian troops. , once again created an illusion for Alexander that the chasing troops of the independent division were still far away from him. Otherwise, in the case of a hasty retreat, he could not order the troops to rest for more than a day in Xining.

And Sido, the last pass from northern Myanmar to East India, has become an insurmountable gap for the British and Indian troops. Starting from the morning of April 29, the transport aircraft unit of the Southern Aviation Group of the Independent Division began to transport a large amount of equipment and materials And medicine, as well as the equipment to build the blocking fortifications, were continuously air-dropped to Xiduo.

The flight route of the airdrop deliberately avoided the airspace of the Hukang River Valley. Without disturbing the British and Indian troops retreating along the Hukang River Valley, the transport aircraft unit set up a supply line in the air, and waited for the airstrip to be built. After the transport plane was able to take off and land, an organized field hospital, a large number of doctors, nurses, medical equipment, etc. arrived randomly, and a complete field rescue base was established in the hidden mountains north of Xiduo.

Subsequently, there were four heavy artillery regiments and three rocket battalions of heavy equipment, which were continuously airlifted to Xiduo. According to the request of the division commander Tang Qiuli, the three brigades of Xiduo, without backup, blocked 8 More than ten thousand British and Indian troops spent four days and four nights without losing money. The importance of heavy equipment to the blocking war can be seen from this.

The troops of the independent division were far away from the retreating British and Indian troops, but this did not mean that Tang Qiuli could let Alexander and his defeated soldiers walk to Xiduo comfortably.
