Age of Conquest Reborn

After leaving the Hukang River Valley, the eyes suddenly opened up. The great plains and shallow hilly landforms of eastern India were displayed in front of Tang Qiuli's eyes. Tang Qiuli patted the driver's shoulder, and the armored command vehicle stopped suddenly and steadily.

The ground stopped on a high ground. (Just read the novel.)

The evening breeze blows slowly and the brilliant sunset casts a layer of orange-red luster on the earth. It is different from the solid green in the Hukang River Valley, and it is also different from the high mountains, low hills and clumps of shrubs in northern Myanmar.

, constitute the main scenery, with occasional large areas of flat land. To be fair, the natural conditions here are much better than those in northern Myanmar.

From a military perspective, such terrain conditions are most suitable for large-scale armored groups to conduct plain assaults. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe said: "Division Commander, judging from the map, we have entered the East India region. Strangely.

Yes, I looked carefully and found no boundary markers."

Tang Qiuli also carefully observed the surroundings. Sure enough, nothing was found. He couldn't help but feel strange. If he remembered correctly, two years ago, the 6th and 7th brigades of the Directly Affiliated Corps surrounded a village in the Hukang River Valley.

After the brigade of British-Indian troops, under pressure and beaten to pieces by the Japanese in Indochina, they retreated in disgrace. The British colonial authorities in India signed a border agreement with themselves, and the relevant documents were signed by themselves.

There should be boundary markers here. This is the simplest common sense issue. Our side will not ignore such an important matter. This route is the main passage through which Alexander commanded hundreds of thousands of troops to invade northern Myanmar.

, another cycle of history, and now, along this route, I have entered the East India region. For the British who have always been obsessed with Indochina, it is really a great irony!

Could it be that the boundary markers were knocked down by the British, or that they deliberately confused the border line? While he was thinking about it, Shan Hu on the side said: "A few stone boundary markers are missing. Is there anything strange about it? Maybe.

Was he stolen away by that old guy Alexander?"

Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe were speechless at the same time. Shan Hu's words were as unreliable as they were. What could a dignified British-Indian army commander who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops have to do with a few stone boundary monuments? What was he doing?

Isn’t that sick? Besides, the boundary marker has been torn down, but are the documents still there?

Shanhu's ridiculing words. He is really right. When Alexander's troops entered northern Burma, he ordered the soldiers to knock down a few boundary monuments in the Hukang Valley and load them into their vehicles.

, as for where he wants to be buried. According to his idea, it is not just the Indochina Peninsula, but probably Yunnan in China. Or even further away, Chongqing. With one defeat after another, his ambition has become a complete laughing stock.

It's okay to be ambitious, but you have to correctly estimate your own strength, starting from British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, to Alexander who was surrounded in Sido, and then to Lieutenant General Chelsea, the commander of the British Army's Eastward March Corps in India who is about to appear.

, all overestimated the capabilities of the British. They thought that the British Empire was still the empire on which the sun never sets a hundred years ago. On the contrary, they greatly underestimated Tang Qiuli's strength.

Alexander, the only one who had awakened, and his chief of staff, Lieutenant General Adams, were surrounded by Sido, besieged on all sides and in constant panic. With a glimmer of hope, they were waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Regarding the topic of boundary monuments, Chen Feng, the division commander's communications director, interrupted him. Chen Feng took a telegram and said, "Division Commander, I received a telegram from the leader of the Chutian detachment of the special operations detachment. Please review it!"

Tang Qiuli received the telegram, "Division Commander, I have ordered the detachment to go deep into the East India and Dongba areas. I will now report the detected situation as follows. Starting from the afternoon of May 15th, the detachment will be dispersed in the East India and Dongba areas.

The garrisoned British and Indian troops gradually gathered in the Imphal area, and I led a special operations detachment to sneak attack a small unit of the British and Indian troops."

"According to the prisoners' accounts, they received orders from the new commander of the Eastward March Corps, Lieutenant General Chelsea, to gather in Imphal and organize into a new combat unit. Their designation is, the 3rd Eastward March Corps of the British Empire in India.

The Third Regiment of the Sixth Division, due to the low status of the prisoners, cannot obtain more information. We will continue to conduct reconnaissance and report specific information at any time!"

Tang Qiuli smiled truly happily. The war situation was developing according to his expectations. The British finally gathered together the last bit of troops and came to fight for him. Chutian's intelligence proved this. They came at just the right time. Look

Come on, Alexander is very cooperative!

He handed the telegram to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and asked: "Yuhe, what do you think?"

Zhao Yuhe thought for a while and replied: "Division Commander, I think that the emergence of the new designation of this so-called East March Corps is, as you expected, a new formation by the British to rescue Alexander's troops. I personally

It is believed that this should be the last strength of the British army stationed in India. Our troops suddenly surrounded Alexander's troops in Cido, causing panic among the British. [Point]"

"This eastward marching regiment should not be formed just to rescue Alexander's troops. I am afraid it also has another purpose. Imphal is closest to the India-Myanmar border and has convenient transportation, which is conducive to troop assembly. It is the nearest major route to Xiduo.

The town should be the starting point for the attack of the British-Indian Army's Eastward March Corps. My judgment is this much. Please correct me, division commander!"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Yuhe, why are you so humble? You have judged all the situations. What do you want me to correct? However, there is one thing that needs to be paid attention to. The British and Indian troops are in East India."

It is easy to assemble the troops in the region, and it will probably not take a day or two for the troops inside the Indian mainland to reach Imphal."

"Therefore, if we want to fight the East India Campaign, we must make two-pronged preparations, whether to attack all of them or part of them. If the eastward marching regiment is too late to assemble all its forces and uses its existing forces to attack Xiduo, our battle will certainly be

The fight was easy, but it could not achieve the main goal of annihilating the British troops stationed in India. If we wait for the British and Indian troops to be assembled, no one can predict how long it will take."

"It is impossible for our seven infantry brigades and two artillery brigades, with more than 100,000 troops, to lurk in the Imphal area for a long time. What will happen if Chelsea, the commander of the British and Indian Army, becomes aware of our strategic intentions and retreats?

, these are all issues that your staff office needs to consider when formulating a combat plan."

Zhao Yuhe wrote them down one by one, and Tang Qiuli said to Chen Feng: "Director Chen, call Chu Tian back. First, be sure to investigate clearly the equipment, strength, formation, departure time, etc. of the British-Indian Army's Eastward March Corps.

, in particular, whether it has a specific number of armored forces."

"Second, the scope of action of the special operations detachment can be expanded to the following areas. Imphal, Simpson, Saudi Arabia, Dinsukia and other places can choose suitable targets to attack, but they must create the appearance of infiltration by small groups of troops.

, to create panic for the British and accelerate their troop concentration. All attack plans must be reported to the division headquarters for approval before they can be carried out."

Then, he said to Chen Feng: "Send a telegram to Commander Tang of the fleet at Yangon Naval Base. The task force will set off in two days. Before that, collect intelligence on the following areas, the Nicobar Islands in the Andaman Sea.

, the Andaman Islands, the Chagos Islands in the southern Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka, and the Maldives. For specific channels to obtain intelligence, please contact the Director of the Division's Intelligence Office."

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe and Director of Communications Chen Feng looked at each other after listening to division commander Tang Qiuli's words. The British were in danger. The division commander was going to attack all the British forces in the Indian Ocean from both land and sea.

The islands are all listed as targets for capture. It is an astonishing feat to build a chain on the sea to contain any forces on the Indian mainland from reaching the Indian Ocean.

However, neither of them dared to ask whether the division commander's next step would be to attack the South Asian subcontinent from the southern tip of the Indian continent. If so, the strength of the two corps would obviously not be enough. If troops were mobilized from the Malay Peninsula,

That means that the strategic focus of the Japanese Army has shifted from the Indochina Peninsula to the South Asian subcontinent. What should the Japanese do?

In particular, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe was slightly worried. Tang Qiuli saw the content in the eyes of his two subordinates. He smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm not that arrogant. The vast Indian continent is not."

What can be obtained at the moment can only be waited for the opportunity. The layout of the sea will contain any power that rises in the future on this continent. Just imagine, what big development can regional powers that cannot get out of the Indian Ocean have?"

Zhao Yuhe and Yu Deshui smiled brightly, feeling a little uncomfortable because of their own nervousness. In fact, neither of them could understand why Tang Qiuli, after his rebirth, wanted to fight against the British in the East India region.

In addition, they will also launch a large-scale war in the Indian Ocean and use all the islands surrounding the Indian mainland as targets for occupation. This is based on the memories brought by later generations.

The neighbor who lives in the southwest of China is a restless man. He has a lot of messes in his house, but he always wants to be the leader in Asia. Naturally, he sees China as a thorn in his side and a thorn in his side, and he causes trouble from time to time.

Son, either hook up with the United States and contain China, or buy a few broken warships and clamor to leave the Indian Ocean and drink from the Pacific Ocean.

In their view, the Indian Ocean is India's inland sea. Comparing prices with China all day long, the cowhide boasts loudly, but they can't get the real thing. Their extremely manic hearts and the actual national power have caused the abnormal practices of those Asan brothers.

, Jealousy and hatred. In history, Brother Asan was doing something in southern Tibet. Mao Mao gave an order, and the Chinese slapped him with a big slap. At that time, Asan vomited blood and found teeth all over the ground.

Now that there is such an opportunity, Tang Qiuli will never miss it. He will make arrangements in advance so that Ah San will stay on his own territory and be a law-abiding and obedient little brother, so that he can live a more comfortable life!
