Age of Conquest Reborn

The troops of the Myanmar Northern Border Guard Area of ​​the ** Division who were ordered to withdraw to Magao, after a day of hard blocking in Xiduo, carried out another night attack. Both energy and physical strength, as well as ammunition, were consumed to an extremely low level.

In addition, Commander Wen Rongcai was seriously injured and unconscious. Like a huge mountain, it weighed heavily on the heads of every officer and soldier, but they did not realize that there were more than 7,000 evil wolves following behind them.

Brigadier General Singh was about to succeed, but the goddess of luck never favored this Indian officer. Wen Rongcai's troops, near Xinduo, and the Xiao Jinshan Department of the Ninth Brigade of the ** Division's Direct Regiment rushed to the Xiduo blockade.

meet.

After the brigade commander, Major General Xiao Jinshan, arranged for the field hospital with the army and performed an operation on his old comrade Wen Rongcai, he felt angry in his heart. The British and Indian soldiers had already occupied Xiduo, and it was meaningless to stop them by themselves.

only

Only by recapturing Xiduo can we complete the mission, but we are facing more than 200,000 well-equipped British and Indian troops. Together with the 10th Brigade Fang Yuanshan Division on the other side, we only have more than 30,000 troops. How can we fight face to face with the British and Indian troops?

A battle for position?

The terrible thing is that Xiduo is the first blocking point for the 9th and 10th brigades according to the order of the division headquarters. However, now that it is lost, he has no right to blame his old comrade Wen Rongcai and his troops for using an army without

The heavily armed local garrison defended Sido for a whole day and withstood the fierce attack of more than 200,000 British and Indian heavy artillery and tanks. When they were about to retreat, they severely bit the British and Indian soldiers.

If his own Ninth Brigade had done nothing more than this, in his heart, he only had admiration for the troops in the Northern Myanmar Border Guard Area. Back in the tent, Xiao Jinshan was thinking about this issue. At this time,

Outside the tent, there was a loud "Report!" "Come in!" Xiao Jinshan shouted without looking back.

A young major, covered in mud and water, was wearing a tropical jungle combat uniform. There were small cuts everywhere, but he came in full of energy. Xiao Jinshan looked up and asked in surprise: "Isn't your reconnaissance battalion in front of you?

Did the troops clear the way? Why did they come back?"

The major couldn't suppress his excitement. He came to Xiao Jinshan's side and said mysteriously: "Brigadier Commander, this is a big deal coming to our door!" Xiao Jinshan perked up and asked hurriedly: "Li Jinfeng, please explain clearly.

What a big deal, don’t keep it secretive?”

The Ninth Brigade Reconnaissance Battalion is directly under the brigade headquarters. As a unit directly under the brigade headquarters, you can see several big guys from the brigade headquarters every day. Major and battalion commander Li Jinfeng is also Xiao Jinshan’s confidant. He is familiar with the brigade commander.

Without further ado, he replied sternly: "Report to the brigade commander

, the reconnaissance battalion discovered a group of British and Indian troops more than 40 kilometers west of Xinduo. They were still about two hours away from our camp. Because there was no order from the brigade commander, they were not alerted. My

The troops are still monitoring!"

Xiao Jinshan's eyes shone and he asked eagerly: "How many troops are there? How are the troops organized? Are they followed by a large British and Indian army? Are there artillery and tanks? Tell me the details!"

Li Jinfeng replied: "The strength is about five brigades, more than 7,000 people, most of them are Indian soldiers, and a small number are British soldiers. It is a mixed force of British and Indian soldiers. There are no tanks and artillery. It is far away from the main force of the British and Indian troops.

, it’s about a day and a half’s journey, and it’s a lone troop going deep. I judge that it should be heading towards us!”

Xiao Jinshan clapped his hands and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'm worried that I have no place to start, and there is fat meat coming to my door. Judging from the strength and equipment of the British and Indian troops, they are not coming for us.

A brigade of the British army, that is, less than half of our troops. Do you think the British and the Indian military death squads came towards Lao Wen's troops and just hit the muzzle of our guns? It was really a disaster.

A business that comes to your door!"

Xiao Jinshan said to Li Jinfeng: "You rush back to the army immediately and continue to monitor. Without my order, you are absolutely not allowed to take action. If the fat in your mouth escapes, I will not skin you!" Li Jinfeng grinned and saluted.

After receiving the gift, he hurried away.

Then, Xiao Jinshan grabbed the talkie and said, "Lao Fang? I'm Xiao Jinshan. What do you mean, we can't talk to you if you have nothing to do? I'll tell you good news. There's a big or small deal coming to your door.

Here you go, how about we work together?"

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Major General Fang Yuanshan, commander of the 10th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, curled his lips and said teasingly: "I don't believe you, Lao Xiao, who is used to eating alone, can share it with me when you have a good deal.

!”

Xiao Jinshan was a little anxious and said: "Don't mistake your good intentions for donkey's liver and lungs. To be serious, my reconnaissance battalion discovered a mixed British-Indian brigade with more than 7,000 people more than 40 kilometers west of our camp.

Yeah! I guess they are here after Lao Wen and the others. I don’t know if our two brigades are here. If they are unlucky and give us a chance to open their doors, we can work together to kill them. Are you interested?"

When Fang Yuanshan heard this, his eyes lit up and he said hurriedly: "Are we stupid if we don't eat the fat meat that is brought to our lips? There is no conflict between eating meat and performing the interdiction mission. You can get a charter and tell me how to fight. I, Fang

Just cooperate fully!”

Xiao Jinshan shouted: "Okay, it's great. It's great to join hands with you, Lao Fang. That's it. Our ninth brigade will set up a pocket formation in front, and your tenth brigade will go around to the back. We'll fight and keep this

Help the guy run back, you block him, then give him a stick in the pocket, and we two brigades will pack more than 7,000 dumplings for the British and Indian soldiers, and the battle will be resolved in three hours, and it will be done!"

The 1st Jungle Brigade of the Puram Garrison of the Indian Army, which was hotly pursuing Wen Rongcai's troops, ran into the encirclement of Xiao Jinshan's 9th Brigade in the dark night. What greeted them was a sudden and fierce artillery fire. The 9th Brigade

The brigade has concentrated the heavy artillery regiments of the brigade, the artillery battalions of each regiment, and hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers. They are responsible for fixed areas according to different firing ranges. There is no dead space of one square meter between areas.

Dense shells, with long tail flames, cut through the dark night sky, screaming and falling, "Boom, boom, boom!" The fire flashed and the huge roar echoed in the woods.

Everywhere, there were the fragmented bodies of British and Indian soldiers, tall trees suddenly broken, and balls of soil and gravel stirred up.

Brigadier General Singer and his brigade headquarters were very unfortunate to fall victim to the first round of artillery bombardment. Moreover, the benchmark bombardment of the 9th Brigade Heavy Artillery Regiment fell in the middle of his brigade headquarters. The reason was very simple. A well-meaning staff officer,

In order to enable the anxious Brigadier Singh to see the compass clearly, he turned on the flashlight, although it was only for a few seconds.

But it was this light that was keenly captured by the artillery observers. The data subsequently reported led to the first round of dozens of large-caliber artillery shells. Brigadier General Singh's body, together with his desire to eliminate Wen Rongcai's troops, promoted him to general.

The sweet dream, amidst a ball of fire and a loud noise, turned into pieces of flesh and bones, scattered on the muddy mountain road of the Hukang River Valley.

Along with Brigadier Singh, the communication department of the brigade headquarters was also unlucky. Therefore, in the end, no message was sent out from the 1st Jungle Brigade of the British garrison in Puram, so Commander Alexander had no way of knowing.

The whereabouts of the brigade.

The British and Indian soldiers who were suddenly attacked by artillery fire lost their command structure and were in disarray. Xiao Jinshan arranged this ambush with the intention of fighting to death. The troops were also responsible for blocking the British and Indian troops.

, it is inconvenient not to mention the inconvenience of keeping prisoners, and having to send people to send them back. It is troublesome, why not just give them a cannonball and send them back to their hometowns in England and India.

Brigadier Xiao Jinshan's order was completely implemented by the artillerymen. The artillery shells were fired indiscriminately. Because they were in a pursuit state and were afraid of falling behind, the formation of the British and Indian soldiers was absolutely dense. Coupled with Hu Kang's

Due to the terrain restrictions of the river valley, the troops could not disperse. People were crowded into piles. As soon as a cannonball was fired, more than a dozen British and Indian soldiers flew into the air.

Facing the overwhelming artillery fire, the British soldiers could not stand it at first. They were so distraught that they turned around and ran back. As soon as the British ran away, the remaining Indian soldiers, of course, would not wait to be bombed like fools, and they would also be defeated.

There were more than 7,000 British and Indian troops in one brigade, and more than 3,000 people fell in the Hukang River Valley. The artillery of the 9th Brigade had been shelling for less than 50 minutes.

The British and Indian soldiers ran away, and the artillerymen were not polite. They adjusted their coordinates, kicked their butts, and sent over a thousand rounds of artillery shells. More than a thousand British and Indian soldiers fell on the way to escape. Xiao Jinshan was stunned.

He clucked his lips and muttered: "This battle is really fucking weird. Thousands of people were driven away with just one shell. Why don't we charge?"

Xiao Jinshan was very regretful. He had deployed hundreds of light and heavy machine guns on the forward position, but had no chance to display their power. The British and Indian soldiers turned around and ran away before they reached the fire range of the light and heavy machine guns. Those machine gunners who were gearing up

They saw the explosion point of the artillery shell getting further and further away from their position, and they jumped up and cursed in anger.

Xiao Jinshan picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Old man, I'm almost done. The rest is all yours. How much do you want to keep? Most of it. How about it? We didn't eat alone. Isn't that interesting?

!”

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, the commander of the 10th Brigade Fang Yuanshan laughed and said: "Old Xiao, I don't know that you are reluctant to say anything when you have the opportunity to eat alone. Don't try to sell me a good deal. You have to."

, after the battle is over, why don’t I treat you to a drink?

Putting down the walkie-talkie, the combat staff beside him asked for instructions: "Brigadier Commander, the British and Indian troops have escaped. Several regiment commanders called to ask for instructions. Should we pursue them?"

Xiao Jinshan glared at the young staff officer and said in a lecturing tone: "You don't understand tactics, don't you? How can the British and Indian soldiers escape from the pocket of the 10th Brigade? In the dark night, the terrain is complex, the enemy and ourselves are

It's hard to tell, this

Pursuing under such circumstances will increase a lot of casualties. Besides, if the British commander with enough brains launches a counter-ambush, wouldn't we suffer a big loss? As the military manual says, don't pursue the poor enemy.

Well, learn more in the future!"

The staff officer lowered his head and smiled secretly. Xiao Jinshan was also very satisfied. He killed more than half of the British and Indian soldiers without hurting anyone. This battle was a good deal!
