Age of Conquest Reborn

No wonder Zhao Yuhe asked this question. When the three main regiments of the ** Division fought out of the country and marched into Myanmar, Zhao Yuhe was still serving as the Chief of Staff of the Northeast Advance Command Headquarters, and all his attention was spent on how to do it.

Lieutenant General Liu Tiehan, who assisted the deputy division commander and commander of the East Point, how to deal with the Kwantung Army, had no understanding of what happened when the troops first entered the Indochina Peninsula.

Tang Qiuli smiled, like an old fox, and said: "Not only are we familiar with each other, but we have also interacted with each other several times. Moreover, when the troops first entered Burma, the Japanese were beating the British to a rout and were retreating steadily. I took the opportunity

He tricked Alexander and forced him to lose almost all his family property and flee to India in embarrassment. This changed the pattern of Indochina and finally established our absolute advantage in Indochina."

Zhao Yuhe was very interested in what the teacher said. He had never heard of this period of history. Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "Yuhe, today is not the time to answer questions. You should understand, right? I

The reason why you dare to design a large ambush circle near Magao with a force smaller than that of the British and Indian troops must be reasonable!"

"Yes, based on their understanding of Alexander, the British are not willing to lose their dominance of the Indochina Peninsula and want to take it back in their dreams. However, they are afraid of being beaten by the Japanese. Now, our ** division troops have beaten away the Japanese.

Man, the British mind is alive again, and the execution of forty-seven British spies is just a trigger."

"Therefore, when Alexander commanded the British and Indian troops, he came with a desire to avenge his shame. He was eager for success and would inevitably place his hope on the success of the First World War. But Alexander, to be honest, belongs to the group of people with great ambitions and short talents. He has never

Having fought against our squadron, you have no way of understanding our combat methods and the combat effectiveness of our troops. This is far worse than the Japanese's understanding of us."

"But I know the British quite well, and I also know their weaknesses. Starting from East India and passing through the entire Hukang Valley, a route of several hundred kilometers is a labor expedition. Alexander first committed a taboo among military strategists, and then

In addition, I arranged for two directly affiliated corps

The main brigade was blocking layers of troops along the way, not to eliminate many enemies. It was not to slow down the advancement of the British and Indian troops, but to paralyze Alexander and make him think that my main force had not had time to mobilize and exhausted the British and Indian soldiers.

Morale and physical strength.”

"Yuhe, do you think how much combat effectiveness such a force can have when it reaches our ambush circle near Magao? In addition, Alexander has no backup troops and is going deep alone. Moreover, I am fighting an ambush.

Instead of encirclement, within the ambush circle of Magao, with our existing strength, we cannot completely annihilate the more than 200,000 British and Indian troops. We only need to cripple and drive them away to destroy the British and Indian troops to the maximum extent.

The will to resist will achieve the purpose of the campaign."

"The mobilization of the Niangziguan Garrison Corps and the 29th Corps on the front line in Kuala Lumpur will definitely alarm the Americans and expose my campaign intentions. Moreover, the two corps have hundreds of thousands of troops and are in the Malay Peninsula. The enemy is shrinking.

The Japanese troops under Ito in Singapore are a huge deterrent and pressure, and can also prompt the Japanese to take action against the Americans as soon as possible, so the troops in the Malay Peninsula cannot be moved."

Zhao Yuhe suddenly understood and added: "I completely understand the division commander's intention. In the Magao ambush circle, we strive to annihilate the largest number of British and Indian troops and form an encirclement situation. In this way, when the battle situation is unfavorable, we are afraid

If the entire army is wiped out, Alexander will inevitably retreat to the East Indies, and we will follow and pursue him, chasing the heels of the British and Indian troops, and penetrate into the East Indies."

Tang Qiuli nodded approvingly and said: "The idea is clear and very good. However, Yuhe, your appetite is still too small. I have no intention of letting Alexander go. The best place to annihilate the British and Indian troops is not in Magao."

, and on the Xiduo line in the Hukang River Valley, what was more, what was being surrounded and annihilated were the frightened British and Indian soldiers who fled back in panic."

Zhao Yuhe's eyes widened in surprise and asked: "Commander, your next plan is to completely annihilate the British and Indian troops. You will choose Xiduo in the Hukang Valley. How can our troops follow and pursue them? How can we surpass them?"

The retreating British and Indian troops rushed to the front to intercept? The Hukang River Valley is a narrow strip. Hundreds of thousands of people are crowded in it. I am afraid that even a bird cannot fly across?"

Tang Qiuli shook his head with regret and said: "Yuhe, your thinking is still on parallel pursuit. The battle of Magao has not yet started. Alexander can't think of my back-up plan anyway. This is what I want to do next."

The task assigned is to order the four brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, which serve as the battle reserve, to immediately and covertly penetrate to the Xiduo line from now on, and be responsible for intercepting the retreating British and Indian troops."

Zhao Yuhe's face turned red. He had indeed not thought of this, but he said bluntly: "Commander, let me share my opinion. The troops are facing five routes of enemy troops. In order to avoid encounters with the enemy troops, the marching route must be

It is an inaccessible jungle area, and all heavy equipment cannot be carried. In that case, it will inevitably increase the difficulty of intercepting the troops."

"Once Alexander knew that his retreat was cut off, he would definitely fight tooth and nail. With only lightly armed troops, heavy casualties were unavoidable. Moreover, the intensity of the battle was conceivable. Faced with hundreds of thousands of British and Indian troops fleeing for the road, it was unavoidable.

Soldiers, the consumption of ammunition will inevitably be a staggering amount. Just relying on the carrying capacity of the interspersed troops may not be able to sustain it for too long. Please consider this, division commander!"

"In addition, once it is known that Alexander's troops are besieged, the British and Indian troops in India will organize reinforcements and come along the Hukang River Valley. The intercepting troops will be attacked from both sides. Division Commander, that's all I can think of. My suggestions are for the division commander's reference!"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Okay, I analyze the problem objectively and calmly, and I am a qualified chief of staff. Regarding this question, I will answer you now. The intervening troops should carry as little supplies and equipment as possible to reduce the stress of the soldiers.

Don't forget to carry heavy loads. We have powerful air power. We can set up a number of supply airdrop locations along the way. After the troops arrive in Xiduo, transport opportunities will airdrop the heavy equipment and ammunition there. In this way, the problem will be solved.

What!"

"In addition, troops from eight brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, which met four British-Indian military divisions in the directions of Ledo, Sugia, Gamai, and New Taiji, followed them after completing the task of annihilating the enemy on the opposite side.

If we follow the current route and rush to the Xiduo line, what will intercept Alexander's retreating troops will be the entire Sulu Mobile Corps' twelve brigades with more than 200,000 troops. Yuhe and even the British can piece together a support army, and

What can be done?"

"Furthermore, Le Yiqin's nearly a thousand bombers and fighter jets can allow the British reinforcements to reach Xiduo smoothly? Two corps, twenty-five brigades, and more than 400,000 troops, chasing behind and blocking at the front, Alexander also has

Is it capable of breaking through fishing nets? If they want to occupy the entire East India region, the strength of this regiment is far from enough. Moreover, the British will definitely counterattack. If they do not fight several major battles in the East India region, the British

I won’t admit defeat!”

Tang Qiuli's words were full of self-confidence and strong confidence in controlling the situation. Zhao Yuhe was sincerely convinced. His thinking, following the teacher's words, expanded infinitely to the entire Southeast Asian battlefield. For Zhao Yuhe's future

The road to development is of vital significance, allowing his way of thinking and speed to finally keep up with the pace of his teacher Tang Qiuli.

Several years later, Zhao Yuhe, who was already the commander of the ** Division Corps, talked about the long conversation he had with the division commander in Magao, a small town in northern Myanmar, and said with emotion: "Before that, I might have been a pretty good person.

However, I benefited a lot from that long conversation. My own way of thinking and perspective, as well as the change of roles, all started from that moment."

Tang Qiuli patted Zhao Yuhe, who was still deep in thought, and said gently: "Okay, Yuhe, this cannot be accepted in an instant. It must be accumulated through continuous actual battles. However, we

With your thinking and vision, you must jump out of the inherent circle in order to combine everything organically and maximize the purpose of the campaign!"

Zhao Yuhe said with reverence: "Sir, Yuhe has learned a lesson. By your side, I feel my own changes every moment. You are the best commander I have ever seen!" Zhao Yuhe's

His words and attitude are very sincere.

Tang Qiuli also noticed that Zhao Yuhe was excited and said with a smile: "Have I just returned to the division headquarters a few days ago and have you learned to flatter me? However, there is still one problem that needs to be solved right now, that is, the British Air Force has him.

, is a big obstacle to the implementation of our campaign plan, and I don’t know how Le Yiqin’s fishing plan is progressing?”

Major General Le Yiqin, the commander of the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division Air Force, who was worried about by the division commander Tang Qiuli, was in the war room at the moment, looking at today's flight records in a daze with a frown on his face.

Beside him, the chief of the flight group's operations department and a dozen staff officers exchanged surprised looks. Everyone wondered when Commander Le, who had always been carefree and brave, had such a sentimental and childish attitude.

?

Le Yiqin was really worried. After receiving the order from the division commander to bomb the British Indian Army, Le Yiqin put forward his own plan based on the order, which was to lure the snake out of its hole and attract all the bombers and fighter jets of the British Indian Army.

Come out, before the Magao ambush, it is the air power that destroys the British, allowing the troops to capture the East India region and clear out the air threat.

For this reason, Le Yiqin dispatched all the bombers to carry out indiscriminate bombing on the five routes of British and Indian troops. At the same time, he did not send out an escort fighter group. The commander of the bomber group was confused by this order that violated the rules.

They all asked, and Le Yiqin replied, "Follow the order!"

The bait was thrown out, but the big fish did not take the bait. All afternoon, Le Yiqin muttered just two sentences, "Am I not good at fishing, or have the British become smarter?"
