Age of Conquest Reborn

>The military meeting that Alexander could or could not hold did not last long. By about eight o'clock in the night, it was coming to an end. At the end of the meeting, Alexander gave a very passionate final speech, which can be regarded as

It was a pre-war mobilization.%网

He said: "My generals, a historic moment is about to come. After more than two years of absence from the Indochina Peninsula, our troops of the British Empire will once again return to this area developed by our ancestors, and they will feel as familiar as home.

I believe that our old friends will sincerely welcome us back to our homeland and bring them happiness and prosperity."

"To this end, I have a special order for our soldiers to have a good rest tonight and prepare a sumptuous dinner. Of course, they can drink some wine appropriately. In addition, let our young men shave off their beards.

Putting on new military uniforms and appearing on the land of northern Myanmar in high spirits, some people may say that my words were too early."

"No, gentlemen, I am not exaggerating in the slightest. Xinduo is the last barrier out of the Hukang River Valley. Once Xinduo is captured, there will no longer be any obstacles in front that can stop the progress of the British Empire. It is beautiful and rich.

The land of northern Myanmar is

Like a beautiful oriental beauty, exposed in front of us, dear Fisher, at exactly 5:30 tomorrow morning, use the sound of your cannon to play the prelude to our return to Indochina! Gentlemen,

Have a good time tonight! The party is dismissed!"

I have to admire Alexander's eloquence and provocative power. His words aroused the passion in the bones of the British officers and provoked a burst of applause and cheers from the officers present. What's more, some even blew a sharp whistle.

The whistle made a serious military meeting as smoky as a third-rate bar where London gangsters gather.

Obviously, Alexander was very satisfied with the effect of this meeting. He believed that the enthusiasm of the officers and the passion for conquest in their bones had been ignited by him. Of course, after the meeting, he did not forget to give Ledo, Sujia, Jamai, and Xintai

The troops in the direction of Kyrgyzstan issued a stern order: "Before noon tomorrow, we must arrive in northern Myanmar as planned according to the original plan, and launch attacks on all scheduled occupation targets on time!"

In Xinduo Town, Xiao Jinshan, who was observing the movement on the other side on the stone wall, listened to the faint laughter from time to time in the camp of the British and Indian troops, and looked at the brightly lit camp, all showing an undisguised expression of anger.

Arrogantly, he looked back at the soldiers hidden behind the wall, silently munching on dry food, gritting his teeth.

These bastards are too arrogant. Using a telescope, Xiao Jinshan could even see piles of bonfires. The British and Indian soldiers were sitting around the bonfires, enjoying the barbecue and drinking gulps of wine from time to time. It didn’t take much.

Dozens of cannons blasted him for half an hour. Keep this night, and the British and Indian soldiers will not be able to sleep soundly.

However, there was not even a mortar. According to the division commander's order, it had already withdrawn to the rear. Xiao Jinshan regretted this. He kept complaining to himself, "Why are you so honest? It's impossible for the division commander to send people."

Let’s think about it, if we leave a dozen mortars, we can go over there under cover of night and fire some shells, and keep them safe to make these bastards stand on their feet.”

Xiao Jinshan angrily stood on the wall, walked back and forth, walked to a heavy machine gun, pulled the shooter aside, raised the muzzle of the gun, and was about to fire, but looked at the distance, then put it down in frustration, the distance was too far.

The range of the heavy machine gun is not enough, so it can only make people angry.

After watching it for a while, Xiao Jinshan's mind was brewing countless combat plans to attack these bastards under the cover of night, but they were not 100% sure, so he had to give up and said glumly to the communications staff officer who was following him.

: "Give it to the teacher

reported the situation in Xinduo. At about 6:30 this evening, the British and Indian troops advanced to a distance of five kilometers from Xinduo. At first, they prepared for an attack. Later, for unknown reasons, they did not attack Xinduo.

Launched the attack, everything is normal now."

At two o'clock in the morning on April 28, Ma Gao, Tang Qiuli, the frontline headquarters of the Northern Burma Campaign of the ** Division, stood in front of a large military map, looking intently at the marked map of the situation between the enemy and ourselves. So far, the battle has

The process was completely under his control, and the rhythm and development of the battle did not deviate from the predetermined track.

Alexander's middle route army has already approached Xinduo, the last barrier out of the Hukang River Valley. According to normal circumstances, the British and Indian troops will launch an attack on Xinduo at dawn tomorrow. By tomorrow evening, they can approach the vicinity of Magao.

The Magao ambush battle will start on time, and the campaign in northern Myanmar will officially begin.

Everything went according to his plan, there were no loopholes, but for some reason, Tang Qiuli's heart just couldn't calm down. He always felt that something was missing? But he couldn't tell the specific details, and the premonition came and went suddenly.

, but he couldn't catch it in his hand. This feeling made him uncomfortable. He frowned and thought hard. Even Liu Xinlan came over to ask him for supper, and he didn't notice it.

It wasn't until Liu Xinlan gently pulled on his sleeve that Tang Qiuli came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream. Looking at Liu Xinlan's worried eyes, he smiled apologetically and let go of his worries, "Maybe everything went too smoothly.

I am worrying too much, what kind of threat can the British and Indian soldiers pose to the troops with their combat effectiveness!"

Looking at the supper brought by Liu Xinlan, Tang Qiuli sniffed it vigorously a few times and said repeatedly: "Xinlan is good at cooking. I am very lucky. Oh, Xinlan, go and call Chief of Staff Zhao. He is busy."

By now, I'm probably so hungry that I'm so hungry." Hearing his compliment, Liu Xinlan smiled sweetly and replied, "I've already called him and he'll be here soon. I've prepared it for two people, so feel free to eat!"

Zhao Yuhe came over and smelled the sweet smell first. He rubbed his hands in embarrassment and said, "Sir, I see that Staff Liu's cooking skills are getting better and better. You are in luck!"

Tang Qiuli was eating supper and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, sit down, Xinlan's cooking is definitely good. If you have time, go back to Dingbian and ask my mother to teach her some Northeastern cuisine. I can do it too."

I often eat hometown dishes, you don’t know, Yuhe, it’s been a long time

I feel so greedy if I don’t want to eat it, especially the pig-killing vegetables. Oops, I can’t eat enough for one meal after another. When I was in my hometown in the Northeast, when winter came, every family would kill pigs and stew sauerkraut.

With the addition of white meat and blood sausage, the taste will never be forgotten in my life!"

Liu Xinlan's face couldn't help but blush, and she couldn't help but yearn for it. "When I return to Dingbian and see the two old people, my identity will be confirmed. I must learn the Northeastern cuisine Qiu Li mentioned and cook it every day."

"He did it." The little girl's face was full of sweetness. Little did she know that she could find pure Northeastern-style sauerkraut in Indochina, which is about as difficult as the moon.

Zhao Yuhe also smiled and said: "Teacher, after so many years, you have not forgotten the taste of hometown food. In fact, I am too. My hometown is Shaanxi. I studied in university in Xi'an. Since that time, I have followed

Sir, I often recall the street snacks in Xi'an. It has been several years and I have no chance to go back!"

Liu Xinlan listened with interest to the two grown men discussing food and drink. Tang Qiuli casually asked: "Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan didn't send a telegram, right? These two guys must be in Xinduo, with Yingyin

The army fought a battle, and in my heart

Just as I was having fun, I ordered the intensity of the resistance to be increased. I don’t want them to fight a small-scale battle. With Xiao Jinshan’s character, if he can do it, Fang Yuanshan will not do anything extraordinary.

The main one is Xiao Jinshan."

Zhao Yuhe smiled and said: "Commander, you did not guess correctly this time. Twenty minutes ago, when we received a telegram from the two brigade commanders Xiao and Fang, the forward troops of the British and Indian troops advanced to the vicinity of Xinduo.

, did not launch an attack immediately, but camped on the spot. At this moment, I guess Brigadier Xiao is sulking! There is no chance of fighting!"

Tang Qiuli was stunned, stopped chewing, and asked: "What? There was no fighting in Xinduo? That's not normal!"

Zhao Yuhe nodded with some strangeness and confusion. Tang Qiuli seemed to have grasped the source of his uneasiness. Compared with Alexander's crazy advance in the past two days, it was abnormal that he did not immediately launch an attack on Xinduo.

, Alexander is also a veteran soldier, and he will not fail to know that time is very precious to him, and he must get out of the Hukang Valley before his main force reinforces northern Myanmar.

This is a common sense question. Otherwise, if he is stuck in the Hukang River Valley, his situation will be very dangerous. But Alexander, who is as anxious as a spark, stopped abruptly in Xinduo and would rather give up one night. Why? What is it?

Let him make such a decision?

Seeing Tang Qiuli's thoughtful look, Zhao Yuhe and Liu Xinlan looked at each other, and they both stopped what they were doing and looked at his face.

Tang Qiuli filtered the entire battle plan in his mind. He suddenly discovered that the order he gave to Xiao Jinshan Brigade and Fangyuan Mountain Brigade had a fatal flaw, that is, the time to evacuate Xinduo before eight o'clock in the morning

, with Xiao Jinshan's personality, he will never evacuate until 7:50. If his troops don't leave, Fang Yuanshan's troops can't evacuate either.

If Alexander orders the troops to launch an attack on Xinduo in the early morning, there will still be a few hours at eight o'clock. Xinduo is important to northern Myanmar. As Alexander, who has been running the Indochina Peninsula for many years, he is more important than himself.

Clearly, he could also tell that he would not easily let his troops leave the Hukang Valley.

Although Alexander judged that the local troops did not have much combat effectiveness, it did not rule out that he believed that Xinduo must be the last line of defense held by the ** division troops, so the attack method would inevitably be more violent than the fighting along the way.

Yes, artillery fire, the new terrain conditions and defense facilities are not conducive to infantry attacks. Only by destroying the defenses with artillery fire can the passage into northern Myanmar be opened as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this, the sweat on Tang Qiuli's forehead started to drop!
