Age of Conquest Reborn

The 10th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the ** Division was at the Xiduo blocking position. The brigade commander, Major General Wang Yiwu, put down the phone and said to the brigade chief of staff Che Yunxi in a self-deprecating tone: "Chief of Staff, I'm afraid this blocking battle is the worst.

Boring

One time, you see, the artillery position did not allow any movement. The light artillery battalions of each regiment and the machine gun companies of each battalion became the main firepower. My two heavy artillery regiments could only stare at it.

, what is this called?”

Che Yunxi looked at the brigade commander with a look of displeasure on his face, and said with joy, "Brigadier Commander, it's not like the division commander didn't let us use heavy artillery? It's just that it's limited to repelling one attack by the British and Indian troops."

Wang Yiwu squinted his eyes, looked at the overjoyed Chief of Staff, and said angrily: "Just a vanguard unit, at best, a reinforced regiment, is it worthy of me using heavy artillery to greet them? Chief of Staff, order the forward troops to concentrate all mortars.

Artillery, take care of this vanguard first, and use the heavy artillery before it’s time!"

Xiduo, Tang Qiuli's headquarters and chief of staff Zhao Yuhe, reported the situation of the forward observation post to the division commander Tang Qiuli. Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Each brigade will be given a chance to use heavy artillery.

The brigade commanders who took down the grand battle must be feeling aggrieved. Yu He, let’s go to the front line and go to Wang Yiwu’s brigade!”

Zhao Yuhe looked troubled and replied: "Sir, I really want to go to the frontier. However, I don't have the say on this matter. I still need Captain Huang's consent. Besides, when we were in Xinduo, Deputy Commander Tang was particularly

Tell me to keep an eye on you! Let me go to the frontier to understand the situation and report back to you!"

Tang Qiuli didn't say anything and just gave instructions to a staff officer. After a while, Shan Hu came in. Tang Qiuli pulled Shan Hu aside. The two of them didn't know what they were muttering. Zhao Yuhe held back his laughter and observed secretly.

, I saw Shan Hu's face was in embarrassment, the division commander was gesticulating and talking, blowing his beard and glaring from time to time.

A few minutes later, Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe with a proud look of victory: "Let's go, Yuhe, to the 10th Brigade." Shan Hu followed behind and shouted: "Special Guard 1, 2 Squadron

, according to the original security measures, protect the division commander and go to the 10th Brigade Headquarters, remember, it is the Brigade Headquarters!"

Zhao Yuhe couldn't help laughing. This was the agreement they reached. Shan Hu asked the division commander to go to the front line. The division commander promised Shan Hu that he would stay at the 10th Brigade Headquarters and no longer rely on the front line. I'm afraid, this

Is it the freedom that was obtained by the teacher's continuous begging and threats? In many words, the relationship between the two people seems strange, but in fact, I don't know how many people would die from envy.

The place in Xiduo is not big. From the headquarters to the brigade command post of the 10th Brigade, it is only two or three kilometers away. Less than ten minutes after setting off, the group heard "Boom, boom, boom!" and a burst of intensive artillery sound came.

Tang Qiuli stopped at that moment, with a look of anger on his face.

Zhao Yuhe listened carefully and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew why the division commander was angry. He thought it was a few brigade commanders who violated the regulations and used heavy artillery without authorization.

Zhao Yuhe said to Tang Qiuli: "Commander, the fighting in front is quite lively. Listening to the sound of artillery, I'm afraid there are hundreds of mortars firing!"

This is the cleverness of Zhao Yuhe. He did not say the words directly, but used another way to remind the division commander and point out the truth of the shelling. At the same time, he also avoided the embarrassment of the division commander. A man commanding nearly a million troops

The supreme commander couldn't even distinguish the sound of artillery. Wouldn't it make people laugh out loud?

Tang Qiuli glanced at Zhao Yuhe and said nothing, but the approval in his eyes was undisguised. This is the difference between Zhao Yuhe and Chang Feng, or even the previous chiefs of staff such as Feng Jiwu and Li Honggang. Chang Feng

His character is very bookish, and he is a person who says what he wants and speaks outright about everything. However, Zhao Yuhe always handles things very satisfactorily... However,

This is not to say that Zhao Yuhe is tactful and does not have his own principles. On the contrary, Zhao Yuhe's methods and methods of handling things often make him very satisfied, and the people below are also satisfied. This

It was not easy. As the scale of the army grew larger and more complicated affairs increased, Tang Qiuli found that he really needed people like Zhao Yuhe by his side.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the 10th brigade branch, the guards saw that the division commander was coming. They hurriedly saluted and went to report. Tang Qiuli waved his hand to stop him. Before he entered, he heard Wang Yiwu's voice coming from inside. His voice was quite loud.

.

"Okay, let's fight like this. Don't be complacent. This is the vanguard of the British. Order the mortar positions to be moved immediately. Nonsense. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If the follow-up troops of the British and Indian troops catch up, they will be

Dun shells, those mortars of yours

The artillery has been reimbursed if we can't afford it. Our heavy artillery? Don't worry about it. The division commander has an order not to use it if it is idle. Come on, execute it immediately! I can tell you, your regiment is the first line of resistance, be good

Fight, don’t embarrass our 10th Brigade!"

Tang Qiuli couldn't help but smile. None of the brigade commanders and corps commanders under him had a good temper. They talked as if they were quarreling. But with this voice, he was happy and unhappy.

After more than ten years of gunfire, the murderous aura that filled my body and the little bit of ink in my belly no longer existed!

Tang Qiuli ducked in and saw Wang Yiwu facing him, his left foot on the shell box, his right hand unconsciously touching the short stubble on his chin, thinking about it!

Tang Qiuli said calmly: "I finally heard the truth. Wang Yiwu, you are very dissatisfied with my deployment. You are full of complaints and angry, right?"

Wang Yiwu turned around suddenly and said in surprise: "Commander, why are you here without saying hello in advance? Besides, this is the frontier, just within the range of the British artillery. It's dangerous!"

Tang Qiuli glanced at him and said slowly: "Why, you have more than 10,000 troops in your hands, but you still don't feel confident? I don't believe that your command post, Wang Yiwu, can be blown up by artillery shells from the British and Indian troops.

Hey! You’re not afraid, so what should I be afraid of?”

Wang Yiwu wanted to say something else, but he swallowed back half of the words. He looked at Shan Hu as if asking for help, pulled his collar, and whispered: "Hu Zi, you are looking for death. How can you let the division commander come to the front? You forgot

What did Brother Qiu Sheng explain?"

Shan Hu looked gloating and did not pay attention to his accusation. Instead, he said: "Yi Wu, just wait to be punished. I didn't see that the boss's face was not good. I can't help you." After saying that, he turned towards Tang Qiuli.

A mouthful.

The two of them were muttering, and Tang Qiuli pretended not to notice. They had been friends since childhood, and knew everyone's temper very well. Wang Yiwu of Deheng came over, and Tang Qiuli asked: "Commander Wang, tell me.

Well, how was the battle just now?"

Wang Yiwu replied solemnly: "Reporting to the division commander, more than 20 minutes ago, the leading force of the British and Indian troops, about the strength of a reinforced regiment, entered the eastern part of Xiduo, the forward position of the second regiment of our brigade. However, I used

More than half of the more than 400 mortars were knocked down, and the rest ran back rolling and crawling. I have ordered the troops in the first line to retreat to the second line to avoid being killed by the British and Indian artillery fire.

!”

Wang Yiwu had just finished his report, and before Tang Qiuli had time to speak, a burst of shrieking sound of artillery shells piercing the air came from far and near, "Boom, boom, boom!" The ground shook and the mountains shook, and the soil on the roof of the command post roared.

"Falling down, several special guards immediately pressed the division commander underneath them and used their bodies to make a shield.

Tang Qiuli felt aggrieved and shouted loudly: "The impact point of the artillery shell is still more than three hundred meters away from the command post. Why are you nervous? Get up quickly, you will crush me to death!" It's useless, it's useless.

Tiger's order is that even if the shells fall directly on him, several special guards will not get up... Wang Yiwu rushed to the phone in one step, "Second regiment? How is the situation? Well, okay, calm down!"

Then, he said to Tang Qiuli, who had just gotten up from the ground: "Division Commander, the British shelled the front-line position just now. There were no casualties in the troops. However, according to reports from the front, the artillery of the British and Indian troops used American-made 155 mm calibers.

Howitzers, according to our judgment, there is at least the firepower of an artillery regiment in the direction of the second regiment!"

Tang Qiuli first glared at Shan Hu fiercely, and then said: "Alexander is impatient. This time, let your heavy artillery regiment speak. Remember, just destroy the British and Indian artillery positions!" Shan Hu on the side,

An innocent look on his face.

Then, he said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, Alexander really took out the close range. The formation of troops was very organized and very relaxed. Did you hear that this artillery fire was full of shells? He was

We want to capture Xiduo in one go and open the way for further retreat. Today’s blocking battle is to defeat this idea!"

In a dense jungle less than ten kilometers away from Xiduo, the British-Indian army headquarters is located here. The commander, General Alexander, is by no means as relaxed as Tang Qiuli imagined.

The unsuspecting British and Indian soldiers, who only thought about Xiduo's delicious meals and hot coffee, felt as if they were at home when they saw the outline of Xiduo town, feeling lazy and unable to lift their spirits.

Along the way, I could finally relax my tense nerves. After passing Xiduo, I had eaten and drank enough, and in just over a day's journey, I could return to East India, away from the terrifying jungles of northern Myanmar and away from the Chinese soldiers.

A reinforced regiment of British and Indian soldiers swaggered towards Xiduo. Thousands of them were in no formation. They were crowded together. Suddenly, there was a sudden burst of sharp screams in the air.

The experienced veteran of the British and Indian Army turned pale at that time. Oh my God, that was the sound of countless mortar shells falling from the sky!

Xiduo, aren't your troops stationed there? No matter how much you think about it, mortar shells have already hit your head, the fire is shining, shrapnel is flying, and the smoke is filling. In twenty minutes, the leader of a reinforced regiment has

The troops abandoned more than a thousand corpses and ran back rolling and crawling.

After receiving the report, Alexander suddenly sat up from the stretcher, and the cold sweat fell off his face!
