Age of Conquest Reborn

After receiving Tang Qiuli's telegram, the first reaction of Tang Qiusheng, the commander-in-chief of the Xiduo Campaign, was that the situation on the East Indian battlefield had undergone unexpected changes. Otherwise, the division commander would not have mobilized so many troops to rush to the war zone.

.

The subsequent battle deployment report confirmed his judgment. On the afternoon of May 17, Tang Qiusheng issued a combat order, with Xiao Jinshan's headquarters of the 9th brigade and Fang Yuanshan's headquarters of the 10th brigade directly under the corps, at 4 p.m. that day.

At the right time, a fierce attack was launched on the British and Indian troops on the left bank of the West Dohukang River Valley. The remaining troops held fast to their existing positions to prevent the British and Indian troops from taking the opportunity to break through.

Tang Qiusheng understood Tang Qiuli's intention and cleared the passage on the left bank of the Hukang River Valley so that the eight brigades, as well as artillery and tanks transferred to the East India battlefield could pass quickly. Therefore, this battle was not about annihilating the British and Indian troops.

As long as they have the strength to drive them across the river, the purpose of the battle will be achieved.

However, in this way, hundreds of thousands of troops marching westward through the left bank of the Hukang River Valley will inevitably alarm the besieged Alexander. A commander with a little military knowledge will immediately determine what is going on, and a telegram is sent

In the past, no one could predict what changes would happen to the British and Indian troops assembled in the East India area. The efforts of the troops who entered covertly in advance would be in vain.

This is what Tang Qiusheng is most worried about. Major General Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the Corps, also raised the same concern, "Deputy division commander, there are more than 100,000 people in eight brigades, trucks and tanks. It is impossible to hide it."

British, in this way, the division commander's pre-deployed intention to launch a covert attack in the East India region will be exposed. Deputy division commander, is it necessary to point this out to the division commander to see if there are other ways?"

Tang Qiusheng did have this idea, but after careful consideration, he felt it was unnecessary. Tang Qiuli must have taken this into consideration when he changed the battle deployment and mobilized the troops directly under the corps to advance westward. That is to say, he was not afraid of exposing the battle.

Intention. What I want to do is to drive the British and Indian troops on the left bank of the Hukang River Valley across the river as quickly as possible and clear the way for the troops to move westward.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Xiduo battlefield, which had been silent for two days, heard earth-shattering sound of artillery fire again. However, the fighting only took place on the left bank of the Hukang Valley, across the river from the British and Indian positions on the right bank. Not a single artillery shell was fired.

fall.

The acting commander, Lieutenant General Adams, put down his telescope in confusion. He could not understand why the troops of the ** Division suddenly launched an attack. After being surrounded for two days, the ** Division troops never attacked. According to

Adams' understanding was that the reason for the lack of troops was that he still had more than 70,000 people. If the Chinese wanted to swallow it in one gulp, they would still need to work hard. Otherwise, the Chinese would not be idle and go to Xiduo to surround themselves.

I can't break through. It's still possible to stand still and wait for reinforcements, but what's happening now is really incomprehensible. What are the Chinese trying to do? Could it be that their follow-up troops have arrived and are going to defeat them one by one?

Just as Adams was racking his brains, the communications staff came over and said, "Report to the commander, I have received a telegram from the commander of the left bank troops. Their position is being subjected to fierce shelling by the ** Division's artillery. The scale is greater than ever before. The troops are holding fast."

The position was too dense and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties. They requested to withdraw to the right bank to avoid the shelling, otherwise the position would be lost!"

Do you still need them to report funerals? Across the Hukang River Valley, Lieutenant General Adams could clearly see that just a few kilometers away on the other side, it was shrouded in thick smoke and dust. The fireballs caused by the shells were flying with the dirt.

In the air above, there must be the bodies of British Empire soldiers. They were beaten but had no strength to fight back. This helpless feeling tormented him painfully.

The only thing Adams could do was to ask the troops on the other side to withdraw and avoid the overwhelming artillery fire of the ** Division's artillery. It would be safer for the time being. He was already mentally prepared. Maybe the soldiers on the other side had just crossed the river and the Chinese artillery shells would hit them.

I will catch up with my heels, and when the time comes, I will also bear the baptism of these steel storms.

However, if the troops are not allowed to withdraw, can they watch them being blown to pieces by Chinese artillery shells and finally being annihilated? Of course not. Under the fierce artillery fire, the British and Indian soldiers on the left bank of the Hukang River Valley fled for their lives.

He seemed to be desperately trying to cross the Hukang River in various ways. He was so embarrassed that Adams's eyes were filled with stars, his lips were scorched and his mouth was dry.

The soldiers who climbed ashore panting with panic on their faces were all as stunned as drowned rats. Strange things happened again. The bombardment of the bombardment division stopped suddenly as suddenly as it started. From the earth-shattering loud noise

, there was silence, which gave Adams an unreal feeling. The roar of the engine could be heard in the smoke that had not yet dissipated.

The effect of the shelling was beyond Tang Qiusheng's imagination. When the troops of the 9th and 10th brigades rushed onto the road, the British and Indian soldiers had already run away. In addition to the broken corpses, even the wounded soldiers were struggling.

While crossing the river, the expected fierce battle did not happen at all, which made Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan extremely depressed.

Adams and a dozen senior staff officers looked at each other, unsure of what was happening on the other side. After a long time, the smoke cleared, and what appeared in Adams' eyes was the road on the other side, with dozens of bulldozers busy bulldozing the road.

Bulldozers quickly passed over the crater.

Then, without being able to see the head and tail, there were trucks full of ** soldiers, artillery carts dragging large-caliber howitzers, and tanks roaring in. The traffic was rolling, stirring up dust all over the sky, and moving westward. Adams watched in stunned silence.

All this, the brain is in a state of numbness.

A senior staff officer beside him muttered: "The Chinese's shelling just now was to seize the road on the left bank of the Hukang Valley. Their troops were heading west. God, they weren't going to attack East India, were they? If we had artillery,

, this is the best opportunity to kill and injure Chinese soldiers!"

Adams shivered. At this moment, he understood everything. Tang Qiuli's purpose was not Xiduo, let alone his tens of thousands of remnants. His purpose was to rescue his eastward march.

The legion, himself and tens of thousands of soldiers are just bait, a conspiracy, a huge conspiracy.

Adams's heart sank to the bottom coldly. He knew that the telegram for help that he and Commander Alexander jointly sent out would probably have consequences. It would cost hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Eastward Army! Tang Qiuli

Those vicious eyes have already been fixed on them.

Adams suddenly shouted like crazy: "Communications officer! Communications officer! Send the report immediately!" The sudden movement made more than a dozen senior staff officers around him tremble with fright, thinking that the acting commander could not bear the stimulation just now and was nervous.

Confused?

The communications officer stumbled over and saw the blood-red eyes of the acting commander. When Adams dictated the message, it was a little incoherent. The content was only one sentence. Tang Qiuli set a huge trap in Xiduo and headed eastward.

Legion, immediately give up your plan to rescue our unit!

The telegram was sent. While Adams was anxiously waiting for Lieutenant General Chelsea's reply, he stared blankly at the rolling westward advance of the ** Division troops on the other side of the Hukang River Valley.

The troops of the ** Division spent a whole afternoon, and at night, they could still see long lines of light composed of car lights piercing the night sky. However, Adams did not wait for Lieutenant General Chelsea's call back, and he sent several more messages one after another.

There was no news from the letter, and Adams was almost crazy with anxiety. He sent another letter to the General Staff, but also received no reply.

Despair, fear, worry, regret, all negative emotions filled his heart. His Excellency, the acting commander, who had always been gentle and gentle, finally showed his true colors. Like a shrew, he cursed and cursed Jesus in his tent.

, listen carefully, not only did he scold Lieutenant General Chelsea, he also scolded the Chief of General Staff, Admiral Brandts, and even Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill, who became the target of his greetings to his female relatives.

Lieutenant General Adams was hurriedly cursing people in the Xiduo encirclement, and he was so angry that he almost exploded. Lieutenant General Chelsea, the commander of the eastward advancing army, was also cursing people. However, the young and energetic commander only cursed one person, and that was

Commander Alexander.

After a few days of busy work on gathering troops and weapons and equipment, we finally got a clue. American equipment continued to arrive in India through the port of Calcutta, and was quickly dispersed and transported to various assembly points. When the troops were assembled, the equipment was loaded onto the equipment.

American weapons rushed to kill Xiduo in a mighty manner, but at this moment, that damn old bastard Alexander received such a telegram.

What is the basis for saying that Tang Qiuli set up a huge trap in Xiduo, waiting for him to jump in? I saw with my own eyes that the troops of the Japanese Army continued to move westward. What a big joke, the Hukang River Valley was

On the cross-strait road, tens of thousands of Alexander's troops are stuck there. Could it be that the soldiers and tanks of the Japanese Army had wings and could fly over?

Even if the troops of the ** Division are indeed heading towards East India, then how come you, Alexander, are safe and sound? Why don't you send me such a bullshit warning telegram? Could it be that Tang Qiuli was extra kind to you and showed mercy to you?

Give me a tip? This is so illogical!

If I were Tang Qiuli, the Chinese who was rumored to be magical, the safest and most direct way would be to kill you, the old bastard, first. That way, I would not be afraid of exposing my intentions, and my sudden surprise would not count.

, and also sent a telegram to the General Staff, lying about the military situation. The mission of the Eastward Army was not only to relieve the siege of Xiduo, but also to keep the Chinese at the gate of East India.

Therefore, the opinion of the General Staff requires me to decide whether to rescue the troops surrounded by Xiduo. Chelsea's attitude is very simple. It is no longer important to rescue Xiduo. What is important is that since the Chinese have attempted to invade East India,

We should make preparations in advance and speed up the gathering of troops.

Adams' telegram not only failed to warn Chelsea, but instead made the British and Indian troops gather faster. If Adams knew this effect, he would definitely regret everything he did.
