Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1434 dig a pit for Alexander

General Alexander, the supreme commander of the British-Indian army who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and attacked northern Burma in five directions, had a very bad sleep last night. His mind was filled with all kinds of judgments and assumptions, making it impossible for him to sleep peacefully.

The disastrous defeat of the Air Force stationed in India was like a big mountain, weighing heavily on his heart. Even if he took this opportunity to get rid of that annoying Lieutenant General Bright, what could he do? The cruel fact could not be changed. From today on, the stationed in India

Hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the army will be exposed to Tang Qiuli's bombers without air cover.

Alexander was worried about this situation. The two consecutive days of bombing by the Chinese had caused a lot of casualties to the troops except his own Central Route Army. This was not only terrible. What was terrible was the impact on the morale of the soldiers.

In the telegrams sent by the four division commanders, they all mentioned the problem of unstable military morale.

And Tang Qiuli's aviation unit suddenly launched a powerful attack with thunderous means, destroying his own air force in one battle. What about his ground troops? What are they doing?

General Alexander knew nothing about all this. The troops had advanced hundreds of kilometers into northern Myanmar and passed the middle section of the Hukang River Valley. In a sense, they had entered the hinterland of the Army Division, but in the middle

Except for Xiduo, there was no interception by the Japanese troops along the way. Before this, it can be explained that Tang Qiuli's main force had not had time to move to the north of Myanmar, and the local troops were unable to block it.

But after today's air battle, Alexander suddenly realized that everything was a little abnormal. With the experience and sensitivity of a veteran soldier, he smelled the dangerous smell and ominous atmosphere in the air. The British Empire in Indochina Peninsula

The intelligence network was destroyed by Tang Qiuli's counterintelligence department, and he could not get any information about the mobilization of the ** division's troops.

Continue to advance to northern Myanmar, what will be waiting for you? The confidence before sending troops was destroyed by an air battle. The air combat power displayed by Tang Qiuli's troops frightened Alexander. If these powers are used

Regarding our own ground troops, what will be the consequences? I am afraid that by the time we reach the Magao area in northern Myanmar, the losses of the troops will not be enough to support the continued fighting.

Vigilance and fear gave Alexander the opportunity to adopt a more prudent approach. Last night, he issued an order to all units to suspend their advance and rest in place. Since he could not determine the specific direction of the next step, he would just wait where he was.

Looking at Tang Qiuli's next move, given the current position of the troops, it's still too late to turn back.

Although time is very precious to Alexander. Every minute and every second is very precious. If Tang Qiuli's main force cannot get out of the Hukang Valley before it reaches northern Burma, waiting for him,

Even if you retreat in a hurry, return to the East India region in disgrace, and be ridiculed by your colleagues, you will become the laughing stock of the troops stationed in India.

Weighing the pros and cons, various thoughts and judgments were entangled in Alexander's heart, making him anxious and in a dilemma. It also made him hesitant. If Tang Qiuli's main force blocked the exit of the Hukang Valley, what would happen to him?

I gave up and simply withdrew my troops back to India. Losing face was much better than being wiped out or suffering heavy losses.

The key to the problem is that Alexander did not have any information and knew nothing about the movements of the ruthless, cunning and vicious Chinese Tang Qiuli. He even had an illusion that Tang Qiuli was somewhere in northern Myanmar.

, waiting for his arrival with a sneer, sharply sharpened knife, ready to massacre the soldiers of the British Empire.

Such hallucinations made Alexander uneasy and even had the idea of ​​​​retreating immediately. Finally, he gave a convincing reason, "If the Chinese bombers no longer bomb the troops tomorrow, it will prove that

Bright's air force suffered heavy losses, and Tang Qiuli's air force also suffered a heavy defeat and was unable to attack again."

Before the troops were put into a formal decisive battle, they were blown to pieces by Chinese bombers in the forests and river valleys of northern Myanmar. Alexander would never do it. This was the main reason why he ordered the troops to stop advancing.

, and the emergence of this situation is what Tang Qiuli, who is paying attention to the movements of the British and Indian troops at the frontline headquarters of the Magao ** Division, is most worried about.

Under the cautious call of the adjutant, Commander Alexander finally got up. He shook his head vigorously because of overthinking and lack of sleep. His head was like a ball of mush. Following the open tent curtain and the cool morning wind blowing in,

It didn't keep his head clear, and he listlessly put on his military uniform while being served by his adjutant.

The adjutant looked at the haggard face of the Commander and asked cautiously: "Your Excellency General, is today's breakfast still according to yesterday's standards?" Alexander smiled bitterly in his heart, "Why are you still in the mood to have breakfast? Yesterday's breakfast was nothing.

"I forgot," the adjutant said "hmm" absently, and exited.

Alexander yawned and turned on the radio. This was a good habit he had developed over decades. The first thing he would do when he got up early tomorrow morning was to listen to the news broadcast to understand the situation. The channel he tuned was a Chinese radio station.

"Voice of Central and South China," a voice came from the radio.

"Our Yangon news, yesterday evening, Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, deputy commander of the ** Division and director of the Yangon Military Control Commission, was entrusted by the division commander, General Tang Qiuli, and drove overnight to Myitkyina City in northern Myanmar to represent General Tang

I would like to express my condolences to the pilots of the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division, and visited the families of the pilots who died and the injured pilots, and expressed my deep condolences and care to them."

"The latest news from our station, General Tang Qiuli, commander of the ** Division and chairman of the Military and Political Commission of the Indochina Peninsula, met with our reporters at the ** Division headquarters in Yangon last night. He said that the British brazenly launched an attack on us in northern Myanmar.

The crazy attack in the border area is a naked act of aggression. Without preparation, our troops in the northern border area of ​​Myanmar suffered the greatest losses."

"Their heroic actions will forever inspire the officers and soldiers of the *** Division. General Tang also said that we will resolutely fight back against the British aggression that ignores the Allied Treaty and the Allied relationship between the two sides. Territorial sovereignty

It cannot be violated. The general himself will rush to the Myanmar area in the near future to set up a campaign headquarters and personally direct the anti-invasion campaign."

"This station has news from Yangon and Kuala Lumpur that the ** Corps directly under the ** Division, the Sulu Mobile Corps, the Niangziguan Garrison Corps and the 29th Corps have canceled their vacations and entered a state of combat readiness. According to well-informed sources, all ministries

Elite troops will be mobilized, and after the formation is completed, they will go to the battlefield in northern Myanmar and assume the task of fighting against the British and Indian troops."

"Our station has exclusive news from Myitkyina in northern Myanmar. Major General Le Yiqin, commander of the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division, delivered an important speech at a ceremony to commemorate the fallen pilots. General Le said that the air battle in northern Myanmar that just passed was a great blow to the south.

The aviation group suffered the heaviest losses since its establishment. A total of more than 800 pilots were killed or wounded in battles with the British Air Force in India."

"General Le said that this blood debt will be recorded on the heads of the invaders. The pilots who died are the heroes of the aviation force. Their heroic combat actions smashed the British Air Force's air attack on the northern Myanmar city of Magao and protected the citizens there.

The safety of lives and property, and inflicting heavy damage to invading enemy aircraft in other airspaces, their sacrifices are valuable."

"General Le also said that the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division is a particularly combat-effective unit. It will not be depressed and lose its fighting spirit because of this loss. The blood of the fallen soldiers will not be shed in vain. He has already told the division commander Tang Qiu

General Li made a request to replenish 600 to 700 fighter jets and bombers as soon as possible. Once the replenishment is completed, the sky in northern Myanmar will be the grave of the British Air Force in India, and the general himself will personally fly fighter planes to participate in every air battle.

Revenge for the fallen comrades!"

The news broadcast on the radio deeply attracted Alexander, making him forget everything and wanted to get in and listen. From these pieces of news, Alexander got the information he wanted, and it was the information he had dreamed of, allowing him to

The situation on the Indochina Peninsula feels like the sun is clearing from the clouds and the situation is suddenly enlightened.

He came to two conclusions. First, Tang Qiuli was still in Yangon and was actively mobilizing troops to form a field regiment for himself. His main force had not yet gone north to northern Myanmar. With the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops,

Could it be an easy thing? No wonder, during the advancement of the Hukang River Valley, we only encountered one stubborn resistance in Xiduo. It turned out that Tang Qiuli's local troops were no longer able to stop him.

Second, the ** Division Aviation Department suffered heavy losses in the battle with Lieutenant General Bright's air force and was unable to launch large-scale air strikes against its own troops. More than 800 pilots were killed or injured.

How many pilots can Yiqin lose, and how many planes can be crashed? The greatest threat to our ground forces, the Southern Flying Group of the Japanese Army, has been severely damaged.

These two points, no matter which one, are good news for Alexander. Tang Qiuli's main force was mobilized to the northern Burma area and formed an attack posture against his own troops. It would not be possible in less than a week.

, and Le Yiqin's aviation force could not complete the replenishment of aircraft and pilots and form combat effectiveness in less than half a year.

This was an opportunity created by God. That guy Bright used all the belongings of the air force stationed in India to severely damage Tang Qiuli's aviation force, removing the factor that threatened him the most, and finally did something meaningful.

In one week, our hundreds of thousands of troops will be able to gain a foothold in northern Myanmar.

Alexander, who was ecstatic, turned around suddenly, and with a bang, something fell to the ground.
