Age of Conquest Reborn

Major General Fisher, the commander of the 1st Division of the vanguard force of the British garrison in northern Burma, suddenly ordered the driver to stop after passing the Methkai Ridge. It was not out of the sensitivity of a professional soldier that he discovered something was wrong.

[point]

It was an unintentional move. He just wanted to determine how far away from Ma Gao he was so that he could adjust his marching speed. After the car stopped, Major General Fisher said to the staff officer beside him very elegantly:

"Bring me the map!"

As soon as the staff officer took out the map from his satchel, a harsh scream suddenly came from the sky. Major General Fisher looked back in surprise. His pupils suddenly tightened due to extreme fear, and he instinctively

Shout: "Shell!"

The commander of the Third Division, Major General Hopkins, was also the one who noticed the artillery shells falling from the sky as dense as locusts. He also shouted: "Enemy shelling! Evacuate and take cover immediately!"

After shouting, the major general ran towards the bottom of a cliff with quick movements, but it was too late. The artillery shells of the artillery group directly under the ** division had already hit his head, leaving several balls of black smoke and several balls of flames.

In a flash, Major General Hopkins, several of his guards and a dozen staff officers disappeared without a trace, leaving only a few craters with lingering smoke, which were then covered by subsequent artillery shells.

Major General Fisher was quite lucky. He witnessed with his own eyes that within a few minutes, the Meskai Ridge behind him and the muddy road turned into a furnace of boiling molten iron, and there were plumes of smoke from artillery shells everywhere.

and dust, and the major general himself was only a few hundred meters away from the bombardment area, but the difference was like heaven and hell.

Commander Fisher watched all this in stunned silence, watching the trees crashing to the ground, watching the smoke filling his vision, until he could only see the light of the fire and hear the loud noise of the earth shaking, and he woke up as if from a dream.

General, shouting at the top of his lungs: "Signal Corps! Signal Corps! Immediately report to Commander Alexander that our First Division was suddenly bombarded by the Squadron!"

This is the difference between an experienced commander on the battlefield and a rookie commander who has never smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke. Fisher's judgment was that his first division was suddenly bombarded, but he did not expect it at all.

All the British and Indian troops in the Lingtang Qiuli ambush circle were covered by the artillery group of the regiment directly under the ** Division. The scale of such an artillery attack was far beyond his imagination.

The communication soldier of the 1st Division, who had also never been on the battlefield, could only see the overwhelming artillery fire in his eyes, and could only hear the deafening sound of artillery in his ears. The ground was shaking, until the division commander himself shouted angrily in his ears.

, after reacting, the communication soldier's hands were shaking uncontrollably, and he couldn't fix the radio for a long time.

The more than forty tanks also stopped. The British tank soldiers got out of the tanks and looked at everything in horror. Even if they were hiding in the tanks protected by thick armor, they did not feel the slightest sense of security from such shelling.

In terms of strength and density, a tank is no more useful than a soldier's body; it is just a moving living coffin.

A regiment of British-Indian infantry and a battalion of British tanks were isolated and isolated by artillery fire, and their minds went blank. No one, including the commander Major General Fisher, knew what to do? It was like an outsider.

, looking at the Meskai Ridge Highway shrouded in steel fragments and smoke and flames.

Turn around and go back? You are looking for your own death. I am afraid that before you have walked a few hundred meters, you will be swallowed up by this steel storm. You will be left with no bones left. Continue to rush forward? Major General Fisher, do you still have the courage? No.

Being frightened and paralyzed on the jeep is enough. My God, the Chinese can use large-scale artillery fire here. God knows, what more terrifying things are waiting for them ahead?

At this moment, a regiment from Xu Xianzeng of the Fifth Brigade rushed over with a "crash". Colonel Xu Baojiu laughed out loud when he saw the situation in front of him, "Nearly two thousand British and Indian soldiers, a group of

Like a stupid goose, he was only a hundred meters away from the shelling area, staring blankly, even his own troops rushed over, but there was no reaction. (Just read the novel.)

Xu Baojiu ordered loudly: "The battalions spread out in combat formation and surrounded these British and Indian soldiers. If they dare to resist, they will be killed on the spot!" The regiment-level establishment of the field brigades of each corps of the ** Division has more than 3,000 troops.

People were several hundred meters away, and they rushed over in less than ten minutes, immediately surrounding the British and Indian soldiers.

"Hands up! Hands over and don't kill!" the soldiers shouted loudly. The British and Indian soldiers could not understand Chinese, but the black muzzles of the guns and the murderous faces were more vivid than any language.

The effect, in contrast, was that some Indian soldiers behaved quite well. They picked up the guns in their hands and were about to fire.

"Da da da!" There was a roar of submachine guns, and nearly a hundred bearded Indian soldiers had more than a dozen bloody holes on their bodies. They fell to the ground, their bodies convulsing and twitching. This bloody scene,

It was so convincing that the guns in the hands of the British and Indian soldiers were as hot as red-hot iron bars and they subconsciously dropped them to the ground.

Do you still want to fight back? The nearly a hundred bloody corpses lying on the ground are the best illustration. If you want to prove your courage, you have to pay with your life. Those who want to show bravery are already lying on the ground. The rest

Yes, they are British and Indian soldiers who are very cooperative.

When the drivers of forty or so British tanks saw the Chinese soldiers surrounding them, they hurriedly started their engines and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. A plume of black smoke came out from behind the butt of the tank, and they ran away aimlessly. They didn't even have the courage to fire.

.

Xu Baojiu did not call for artillery, but ordered the rocket launcher and recoilless gun detachment, "Knock out a few of the British tanks that dare to escape! If he runs again, I will blow him up!"

"Boom, boom, boom!" Several groups of fire flashed past, and a puff of black smoke rose up from the running British tanks. The broken tracks fell to the ground with a clatter. Three unlucky British tanks were hit by several rocket launchers.

The bullet hit, and the exploding ammunition tore through the armor, turning the outstanding descendants of the British Empire inside into a molecular state.

The remaining British tanks parked there knowingly. The tank soldiers got out of the tanks and raised their hands honestly. Xu Baojiu saw a British officer from a distance, as if he was stupid, still sitting on the jeep, until the soldiers

After pulling his head out of the car, this guy started shouting as if he was waking up from a dream.

Xu Baojiu walked up slowly and said coldly in proficient English: "Report your name, serial number, position, military rank, and also, you must have the consciousness of being a prisoner, otherwise, you will suffer a lot!"

This sentence sounds familiar. It was said by division commander Tang Qiuli to the chief of staff of the Japanese Hainan Island garrison division during the battle to capture Hainan Island. Later, it became one of the catchphrases among the troops of the ** division.

Major General Fisher was shocked. In the wilderness of Indochina, a group of stupid Chinese people, a colonel of the Chinese Army, could actually speak fluent English. With someone to talk to, Fisher

Major General Er couldn't help but want to show off the attitude of a British Empire general and aristocrat, but when he saw Xu Baojiu's eyes, he felt excited and quickly gave up the idea and honestly reported his identity.

Xu Baojiu shouted excitedly, "Correspondent, report to the brigade commander immediately that the fourth regiment successfully completed its mission and captured more than a thousand British and Indian troops and 32 tanks. The specific number of prisoners is still being counted. In addition,

Our regiment also caught a big fish, a British major general and division commander!"

Xu Xianzeng, commander of the fifth brigade, was so happy that he couldn't smile from ear to ear after receiving Xu Baojiu's report. He walked around in the command post several times and kept mumbling, "Xu Baojiu, how are you?

Like, really show your face to our fifth brigade!" After calming down, he quickly picked up the phone and said, "Division headquarters, I'm looking for the division commander!"

Tang Qiuli answered the phone, and Xu Xianzeng's excited voice came over immediately, "Commander, this is Xu Xianzeng. Our brigade successfully completed the task of solving the emerging British and Indian troops, capturing more than a thousand people, thirty-two tanks, and

Yes, Commander, I caught a big fish. It is the Major General Commander of the First Division who has been serving as the vanguard of the main force of the British and Indian Army. His name is Fisher!"

Tang Qiuli said happily: "Okay, Xu Xianzeng, your Fifth Brigade opened the record first. You should be credited with a great contribution. You must convey my order to the troops. The order of not keeping prisoners does not apply to the British and Indian prisoners of war. Send the troops."

Escort the prisoners of war to Magao! The major general named Fisher will be held in solitary confinement. Keep an eye on him so nothing happens!"

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe reported: "Division Commander, the shelling will stop in ten minutes. According to reports from each brigade, a total of more than 100,000 British and Indian troops were surrounded in the ambush circle, because the shelling has not yet begun.

Stop, the exact number is unknown, but according to the brigade commanders, the number of prisoners captured may be much less!"

Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "It is pure luck to survive under such a fierce bombardment. I ordered each brigade to enter the battlefield immediately after the bombardment stopped, annihilate the remaining enemies, and then switch to pursuit! I judged that during the ambush,

The British and Indian troops outside the circle are running back desperately!"

Indeed, among the dozens of senior generals of the British and Indian Army, the lucky ones favored by God were not only Major General Fisher himself, but also the commander, General Alexander, and all the senior generals in his headquarters.

After leaving the Hukang Valley, Alexander accidentally marched in the rearguard and escaped disaster. Otherwise, your Excellency, the General, would have become the first general-level person to be killed in battle in the history of the British Empire's expansion of overseas colonies.

's officer.

When Major General Fisher had already left the Meskai Ridge, General Alexander and his headquarters were still seven or eight kilometers away from the Meskai Ridge. At this time, the Commander-in-Chief was speaking in poetic language.

All the officers who listened attentively to his story about the wonderful time in Indochina with flattering smiles were filled with emotion.
