Age of Conquest Reborn

Beautiful memories are always intoxicating. Of course, Commander Alexander also received a call from Major General Hopkins, commander of the 3rd Division, who informed Fisher about Fisher's limelighting behavior.

This did not affect Alexander's mood. At this moment, Fisher's little tricks were like a naughty child. He looked at the overstepping actions of his subordinates with a tolerant attitude. There was one thing that Alexander firmly believed,

No matter how much Fisher takes the limelight, he can't escape his own shadow.

The supreme commander of the army is himself, and all the merits of his subordinates can be attributed to his good command! In other words, the more military achievements of his subordinates, the taller his image will be. This is the principle that a rising tide lifts all boats.

When the ** division's artillery group and the overwhelming artillery fire suddenly arrived, Alexander stared in disbelief, looking at a place a few kilometers in front of him, a column of smoke and flames rising up, like a giant ax falling from the sky.

Cutting off the troops, the Meishikailing Highway turned into a slaughterhouse of death in the blink of an eye.

After Alexander reacted, the first order he issued was, "Immediately order all troops to stop advancing and retreat quickly!" It was easy to give orders, but most of the troops who could execute the orders were shrouded in smoke.

When Alexander's jeep was already more than 20 kilometers away from the shelling area, he came to his senses and hurriedly ordered it to stop. Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Adams reported dejectedly: "Your Excellency, Commander, most of the troops have been lost.

Contact us, only the rearguard and baggage troops will follow your orders and retreat quickly."

Alexander's dull eyes looked at the overwhelming artillery shells and the black smoke that exploded, and he unconsciously asked: "How many troops have been withdrawn?"

Lieutenant General Adams whispered: "Including the baggage troops, there are only more than 80,000 people. Our main force. They are all within the artillery range of the squadron. I left a brigade of supporting troops. I just asked

For a moment, I didn’t see a single soldier withdrawing!”

Alexander's pupils were blurry. He stared at Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Adams with wandering eyes and said almost to himself: "Why? Why is this happening? Who can tell me why this is happening?"

No one could answer the question, and even the commander himself could not figure it out. Alexander suddenly nervously grabbed Adams by the collar and shouted loudly: "Order the troops to attack immediately. We must break through the encirclement of Tang Qiuli's troops! Put me

Soldiers rescued!"

Chief of Staff Adams looked at the commander who was on the verge of collapse with pity. He said nothing and let him hold on to his collar. He knew that what the commander said now was a sign of losing his mind and collapsing.

, not to mention the non-main force of more than 80,000 people, even if there are another 80,000 people involved in such a meaningless battle, it will also be the result of the entire army being annihilated.

The artillery fire of the Chinese Army almost turned half the sky red. How many soldiers could the British Empire have to fill it? It was not the time to die. The ambushed troops had only one way to die. Adams knew it very well.

Alexander suddenly let go of his hand and collapsed on the back seat of the jeep. He said to himself: "Conspiracy, trap, it is a huge conspiracy and trap from beginning to end, that damn Chinese, that insidious and cunning China

His main army has been waiting for me in northern Myanmar for a long time. Why? Why would I be fooled?"

Adams looked at Alexander who was talking to himself. He didn't have any instructions for the current situation. More than 80,000 troops stayed in the wilderness, watching the sky-high Meskai Ridge in the distance.

The smoke and flames of gunpowder, feeling the trembling earth under my feet, a hint of coolness, uncontrollably penetrated into my bones, and my face was full of fear!

If the troops continue to stay here, Adams cannot guarantee that the more than 80,000 people will disperse and become a rout. Moreover, once Tang Qiuli's troops pursue them, no one can escape!

Adams tried his best to soften his tone and said: "Your Excellency Commander, now is not the time for us to be sad. You should issue an order for the troops to retreat to East India along the original route of the Hukang Valley. Otherwise, we will be in danger!"

Alexander nodded blankly. In fact, in his mind, he was thinking about why he suddenly lost so miserably. How did Tang Qiuli pre-set so many artillery pieces on the path of his advancement?

Of course, there are still main troops who have not shown up. Could it be that he fell into Tang Qiuli's trap from the beginning?

He just nodded subconsciously in agreement with Adams' words, but this did not prevent Adams from issuing an order for the entire army to retreat in the name of the commander. Under the sudden westerly wind, more than 80,000 British and Indian troops managed to escape the fate of total annihilation.

, returned as fast as they came along the same route. Even though there was no pursuer of the Army Division behind them, they still retreated like frightened birds.【】

At about 7:40 in the evening on April 28, the ambush battle on the Meiskai Ridge was coming to an end. Tang Qiuli stepped out of the shelter and looked into the distance. The smoke on the battlefield had been blown away by the west wind, and gradually...

The whole picture was revealed, the setting sun was like blood, the forests were dyed, and among the lush greenery, a charred curve snaked through the mountains.

That was the main battlefield of the Magao ambush battle. The artillery of the ** Division used hundreds of thousands of artillery shells and tens of thousands of rockets to create a scorched earth strip dozens of kilometers long and ten kilometers wide, burying the green everywhere.

Hundreds of thousands of British and Indian soldiers fought in just two hours and ten minutes from the start to the end of the battle, which was neat and tidy.

The process of the battle was extremely smooth. After more than ten days of painstaking efforts and precise planning, we finally achieved today's results. After this battle, the main force of the British Army in India was lost and there was no longer any strength to fight again. East India and the East Indian Ocean,

They have everything they own. On the land of Indochina, in less than three years, they have defeated the Japanese and the British in a row. The Chinese have truly established a firm foothold on this land!

Taking a deep breath of the air that smelled of gunpowder smoke and blood, a heat wave that looked like blood but not blood surged in Tang Qiuli's chest, swelling his heart. He was so full of pride that he couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and roar, the west wind

Lie Xun blew up a corner of his military uniform, causing his mottled hair to float, and the sunset glow in the sky covered him with a layer of bloody clothes.

Liu Xinlan, who was just behind him, looked at the unkind back of her beloved man, and unexpectedly saw from his body at this moment the sharpness that penetrated history, the contempt for the world and the loneliness in her heart, a strange mixture.

It just feels like this man at this moment is so far away from me.

Liu Xinlan put aside all the thoughts in her heart, walked to Tang Qiuli with light steps, and said softly: "Qiuli, the wind has started, go back!" Tang Qiuli turned around and smiled at the woman she loved. Liu Xinlan was familiar with him.

, came back again, making her almost doubt whether what she saw and felt just now was a dream?

Looking at Liu Xinlan's concerned eyes, Tang Qiuli smoothed her long flowing hair and said: "Xinlan, the troops are about to pursue a night-long pursuit. The personnel of the division headquarters must form a capable command team to follow the troops.

, In this way, you and the remaining personnel will return to Magao together. The next march will be very tense and difficult. You will save me from worrying about you when you go back!"

Liu Xinlan's face was full of reluctance. She really didn't want to give it up and didn't feel relieved. There was no one around Tang Qiuli to take care of her. Just when she was about to ask for it, she saw Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, who came over happily and shouted happily from afar.

: "Sir, what a great victory! An unprecedented victory!" Liu Xinlan swallowed back the words that were spoken.

Tang Qiuli looked at him with a smile and said half-jokingly: "Oh, if we can make our Chief of Staff Zhao so happy, the results will be huge, let's talk about it!"

Zhao Yuhe held a stack of manuscript paper and said: "Division commander, the battle reports of each brigade have been compiled. After more than two hours of fighting, the number of British and Indian troops in the ambush circle was approximately more than 140,000.

The artillery fire killed more than 80,000 people and captured more than 40,000 people, almost all of whom were wounded. It can be said that apart from the British and Indian soldiers who died in battle, our prisoners of war included more than 40,000 wounded people."

Tang Qiuli pretended to be serious and asked: "Chief of Staff Zhao, the statistics of the results are not rigorous enough. There are nearly 20,000 people. Where are they?"

Zhao Yuhe said quickly: "Commander, I haven't finished the report yet. As for the more than 20,000 British and Indian soldiers, no bodies can be found anyway. According to Artillery Commander Zheng Yong, they should be covered by rocket launchers."

, disappeared into ashes, so it can only be classified as missing! This is the data obtained from the surprise interrogation of prisoners of war by our brigades."

"In addition, Brigadier Liu Hongzhang of the 1st Brigade, who is in charge of the westernmost position of the ambush circle, reported that about an hour ago, the British and Indian troops who did not enter the ambush circle, about 80,000 to 90,000 people, had moved towards the Hukang River Valley.

Direction to retreat.”

Tang Qiuli smiled sarcastically and said: "Alexander suffered a big loss. Now, when he thinks of running back, it's too late. He has no chance. He orders the troops in the direction of Ledo, Sujia, Jamai, and New Taiji.

Quickly encircle the target and annihilate all the British and Indian troops in front of you by five o'clock tomorrow morning at the latest, and then immediately advance in the west direction."

"Order, all the troops of the 10th, 11th, and 12th brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps lurking near Xiduo and the Chutian Department of the special operations detachment, to seize Xiduo no later than 4 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. At the same time, the 11th

The brigade sent a regiment of troops to the Ramgarh area of ​​East India to monitor the situation of other British and Indian troops."

"Order, the Le Yiqin Department of the Southern Flying Group of the Aviation Force, starting tomorrow morning, to carry out aerial supplies of heavy equipment and materials to the troops on the West Duo front line. The bomber force of the department will, starting tomorrow morning, carry out aerial operations against the hastily retreating British and Indian troops.

Troops, carry out non-stop bombing and air raids until the battle is over!"

Zhao Yuhe replied in the loudest voice: "Yes, division commander! Immediately convey the order to all units!" Looking at Zhao Yuhe's hurried back, Tang Qiuli said softly: "Alexander, we will meet again soon!

"
