Age of Conquest Reborn

In Tang Qiuli's view, the reason why Churchill ignored the domestic crisis and insisted on attacking himself in northern Burma and wanted to take back the original colonies was for one reason. The underlying intention may not be a bluff and a disguised attack on Hitler.

A warning is given that the British war potential is far from exhausted.

Normal understanding is that one opponent will not attack another opponent until it is completely defeated. This is where Hitler hesitated, and there was a telegram inviting Tang Qiuli to secretly visit Germany. He needed to be with

Tang Qiuli, who was at war with the British, came to answer his questions, or in other words, to make up his mind.

Of course, this is Tang Qiuli's own speculation about Churchill's actions. Although he has the memory of later generations, he has some erratic and unconventional behavior towards this British Prime Minister, one of the four giants of the Allied Powers in history.

There is no way to guess what he did, let alone historical data. However, Churchill's approach obviously frightened Hitler.

Let him be hesitant, otherwise, with the stubborn and crazy character of the German head of state, when the German army swept across the European continent with no opponents and triumphant all the way, facing the feuding Soviets, he would never be able to suppress his murderous intentions, and history would continue according to the

The original trajectory of the war between Germany and the Soviet Union broke out in late June of this year.

However, history took a turn here, because Hitler turned to Tang Qiuli for help. With Tang Qiuli, a monster who came from later generations and was a human for two lives, everything changed and became beyond recognition, which affected subsequent generations.

From this point of view, Churchill did Tang Qiuli a big favor regarding the direction of the war and the world structure. He should thank that crazy British Prime Minister.

Now that the German Yuan had sent a sincere invitation, and this invitation was what Tang Qiuli had dreamed of, the two hit it off immediately. Tang Qiuli personally drafted a reply message. The message was very simple: "Your Excellency, Your Majesty the Head of State, you have taught me a lesson to the United Kingdom."

Afterwards, I will fly to Berlin. Please prepare beer, sausages and grilled fish. After several years, I still often recall the wonderful taste!"

Then, she carefully put the telegram manuscript into a kraft paper file bag, sealed it, and asked Liu Xinlan to call Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, and ordered: "Chen Feng, activate the secret radio station to contact the German Head of State. You

Send this telegram in person. Don't let the second person know. It's a very important matter. It must be double-encrypted. When sending the telegram, no one except me is allowed to approach the secret telegram room. The specific security measures are for you and Shan.

Let’s discuss it with Tiger.”

Tang Qiuli had to be cautious. The Allied Powers and the Axis Powers were two hostile camps, and they were fighting to the death. He was the first deputy commander-in-chief of the Allied Theater. But he had flirted with the top figure of the Axis Powers, and he was almost in trouble.

He had to fly to Germany in person. If it were leaked, he would be suppressed by several parties. Not to mention the domestic side, wouldn't he become a traitor and a traitor?

Politicians from all over the world have done things that are disrespectful to the world, especially when the world is in turmoil and war is full of smoke. Yesterday, you were fighting to the death. Today, it is not uncommon for people to call each other brothers. The so-called "ugly things happen to everyone"

Yes, he is a master if he doesn't show it." From this point of view, Tang Qiuli's caution is definitely not an exaggeration.

After replying the telegram to the German head of state, a major event that affected Tang Qiuli's mind was finally settled. He took out his cigarette, lit it, and took a pleasant puff, enjoying himself like a god. Liu Xinlan came over to pour him tea and saw him

While he was enjoying it happily, he wrinkled his little nose in disgust, stretched out his hand to disperse the smoke in front of his eyes, and was about to give him a few words of warning.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came in in a hurry. Liu Xinlan swallowed back her words obediently, but gave him a dissatisfied "hum" and rolled her eyes at him. Mei Ting, Mei Xue, including Liu Xinlan, all strongly opposed Tang Qiuli's smoking.

, the reason is very good, it affects his health, so there is no restriction on his drinking, which makes Tang Qiuli want to smoke, but he only indulges in the habit at the division headquarters.

Zhao Yuhe took two telegrams, nodded to Liu Xinlan, said hello, and then said: "Division Commander, I received a call from the two brigade commanders Xiao Jinshan and Fan Yuanshan. The interception of the British and Indian troops in the Hukang Valley is as planned.

It started smoothly. So far, there have been dozens of battles. The British and Indian troops used tanks as the assault force and the offensive was very fierce. By about 17:00 in the afternoon, our troops retreated to the Xinduo line."

Tang Qiuli did not accept the telegram handed over by Zhao Yuhe, but said with a smile: "The two of them are not just reporting on the battle situation, especially Xiao Jinshan, I won't let the cannons and tanks be used, obviously they are

The main force has to pretend that it cannot withstand the attack and is retreating steadily. Fighting such a battle will definitely make you feel uncomfortable. Yu He, tell me, what are their plans?"

Zhao Yuhe was amazed. The commander knew the personalities and characteristics of the senior generals below very well. He guessed what they were thinking. He hit the nail on the head and admired them.

Zhao Yuhe replied with a smile: "The division commander really guessed it right. The two brigade commanders Xiao and Fang suggested that they ask the division commander for approval. The two brigades should work together to establish a blocking line in Xinduo and use the terrain conditions of Xinduo to fight head-on.

We want to fight against the rapidly advancing British and Indian troops, so as to kill their spirit and slow down the advancing speed of the British and Indian troops!"

Tang Qiuli said without hesitation: "No, tell Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan not to keep thinking about fighting big battles. Their current tactics are to create favorable conditions for annihilating Alexander's main force. Whether they fight well or not

, directly affects the course of the battle, this must be made clear to them."

"In addition, the strength of Xinduo's resistance must not be too great. There are still more than two hours before dark. After eight o'clock tomorrow morning, let Alexander's main force pass Xinduo, and order Ledo, Sujia, and Gaimai

, the forces in the direction of New Taiji have increased their blocking intensity, delaying the speed of the British and Indian troops, and there is a one-day time difference with Alexander's main force."

At about 6:30 in the evening on April 27, Alexander's forward troops of the Central Route Army, the main 1st Division of the British Army in India, advanced to a point five kilometers away from Sindo. The division commander, Major General Fisher, was about to order the vanguard troops to

A regiment, equipped with two battalions of tanks, launched an attack on Sindo. Behind the starting point of the British and Indian army's attack, the heavy artillery of the British and Indian army had begun to build artillery positions.

The division commander, Major General Fisher, led a large group of staff officers to observe the terrain of Xinduo at the front. Under the dusk, the small town of Xinduo was completely silent. No smoke could be seen and no human voice could be heard. It was as quiet as a block of silence.

The stones, the sound of the flowing water of the Hukang River, screamed slightly under the setting sun, and the flaming sunset reflection danced on the wide river surface.

On the outside of Xinduo, there is a thick wall made of large stones, about five meters high. On the wall, there are still observation crenels and mottled vegetation. Under the twilight, there is a faint glow.

With cool dark light, it reveals antiquity and vicissitudes. This is a typical town of the cold weapon era with an effective defense pattern. Xinduo's geographical location happens to be blocked on the chokepoint from the Hukang Valley to northern Myanmar.

.

The Hukan River flows through the middle of Xinduo Town, dividing the town into north and south halves. Three stone bridges connect the towns separated on both sides into a whole. The road winding from East India is not wide in the first place.

When you reach the west side of the town, it suddenly narrows, and you have to climb more than a dozen stone steps to enter the town. From the overall layout, Xinduo is a militarized fortress that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There are stone walls and narrow roads outside, and no amount of troops can be deployed. Because of the limited terrain, there is only one choice for the attack point, which is the road to the west of the town. One attack can bring up a company of troops, which is already the largest

Any commander would have a headache or be helpless with such terrain conditions.

However, in the view of the division commander, Major General Fisher, there was no problem. This seemingly fortified town that was easy to defend and difficult to attack could stop thousands of charging soldiers on horseback, but it could not stop well-equipped soldiers.

, the British Imperial Army marched forward in triumph, armed with cannons and tanks.

Major General Fisher was absolutely sure that in just thirty minutes, his artillery would be able to bombard the town into ruins. Any defensive facilities would be vulnerable to the flying shells. As a result,

More than 80% of the soldiers in the First Division, the main force of the Indian Army, are British soldiers.

Moreover, the ordinary mixed division of the British and Indian Army has only one artillery regiment, but Major General Fisher's First Division is equipped with two artillery regiments, one of which is a heavy artillery regiment equipped with a US-made 155-caliber howitzer, and the two artillery regiments

, a salvo fires hundreds or thousands of artillery shells. As long as the division commander is willing and does not skimp on the artillery shells, even a hill can be cut in half.

A communications soldier with a walkie-talkie on his back quickly ran to the division commander Major General Fisher, who was pointing at Xin Duo, "Your Excellency, division commander, the commander of the artillery regiment reported that the artillery position has been constructed. Could you please tell me the time for the bombardment?"

Major General Fisher looked at his watch, nodded with satisfaction, and said to the staff officer beside him: "Okay! Our artillery moved very quickly. It was probably Colonel Buffett and Colonel Hughes who were impatient, as if they were seeing the east.

Like a beautiful woman, along the way from Xiduo to here, the poor artillery was of no use, and the Chinese ran away without a trace before their artillery was ready."

A group of staff officers laughed together, listening to their superiors lamenting there. Major General Fisher said more and more coquettishly: "Now, I will give them a chance to let their rusty barrels smell of gunpowder. Poor poor

For Chinese soldiers, their dinner is no longer just food, but shells flying in the sky, which they will never forget."

Then, he said in a tone of voice: "My soldiers will enter the town in forty minutes. Oh, my God, I hope you can keep a complete house for me, otherwise, I will have to sleep again."

Damn the tent, now, gentlemen, let's start enjoying the fireworks of death! Convey my order and start the bombardment in ten minutes."
