Age of Conquest Reborn

The east city gate of Imphal slowly opened. Under the bright morning light, a group of British soldiers, holding a striking white flag, led by several officers, headed towards the 1st Brigade of the Corps directly under the ** Division

Liu Hongzhang's troops came to the position.

Liu Hongzhang saw this scene through the telescope and hurriedly ordered: "The British have surrendered. Order the artillery to temporarily stop the bombardment. Let's see what these bastards say and report the situation to Deputy Commander Tang immediately. The British are holding a white flag."

, come to negotiate surrender!"

After saying that, he stamped his feet in annoyance and said to himself, "Why did you surrender? You haven't fought yet. What a bunch of weaklings. It's a pity that the battle plan I spent most of the night making is really boring.

Son!"

The staff officers in the brigade headquarters couldn't help but smile secretly. They felt very aggrieved by the brigade commander's wishes not to fight this battle. This was also the case with the joint attack of infantry, artillery and tanks carefully organized by Liu Hongzhang.

, but after really putting in a lot of effort, he just gave it up, and he felt very unhappy.

Tang Qiusheng received the report from the 1st Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps. He was stunned at first, and then smiled comfortably. It was expected, but it came a little faster. He originally thought that he would have to fight for a while to wait for the British and Indian troops to have enough.

He chose to surrender when he had no choice but to surrender. The big battle he had prepared had not yet taken place. "It seems that this Chelsea is a person who understands current affairs," he thought to himself.

Tang Qiusheng said to Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the corps: "Guanghan, ask Liu Hongzhang to send the British and Indian army negotiators to the headquarters. You should also prepare, and we will meet these British people."

Yu Guanghan said somewhat unwillingly: "Deputy Commander, what do you have to talk to them about? In one sentence, put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender. It's simple and direct. I don't think you need to ship these defeated generals. I'll send them away."

It’s theirs!”

Tang Qiusheng shook his head and said: "Guanghan, you can conquer the enemy without fighting. The best thing is, capturing Imphal without going through a fierce battle is the most ideal effect for us, which can avoid casualties in the troops.

It can save time and ammunition. It can save the city of Imphal from being devastated by war. Just because Chelsea can do this, it is worth seeing me in person. Go ahead and arrange to go!"

On the morning of May 24th, the gushing sun suddenly rose in the sky of East India. The brilliant rays of light passed through this land, reflecting the vitality. A group of three officers and a dozen soldiers of the British-Indian Army Impa

Our garrison and surrender negotiation team walked dejectedly in the sunshine. This vibrant morning had nothing to do with them.

Escorted by a platoon of troops from the guard battalion of the 1st Brigade Headquarters of the Directly Affiliated Corps, the officers and soldiers of the British and Indian Army walked along. What they saw were large-caliber rifles in a tight formation on the position of the Chinese Army.

Heavy artillery, tanks ready to go. Teams of soldiers with high morale and fighting spirit. Their hearts are more complicated.

Perhaps, among them, some of them were somewhat unconvinced by their superiors' order to surrender to the Chinese. They always thought that they could give it a fight. But now it seems that their ideas are naive and their methods are dangerous. They don't need Chinese soldiers to kill them. It's just these heavy artillery.

and tanks, they can tear the more than 50,000 soldiers of the British Empire in Imphal to pieces.

Thinking of this, the resentment hidden on the faces of the British and Indian Army officers and soldiers disappeared like snowflakes in the sun. In front of a military green tent shaded by green trees, Major General Yu Guanghan, Chief of Staff of the Sulu Mobile Corps,

, neatly dressed in military uniform, standing with hands behind his hands with a stern look on his face, looking at the officers and soldiers of the British and Indian Army coming towards him, with a contemptuous smile on his lips.

The surrender representative of the Eastward March Corps of the Indian Army approached. Yu Guanghan cast his eyes on the British colonel, the highest-ranking British colonel, and said succinctly, "Our Deputy Commander Tang is waiting for you, please come in!"

After entering the tent, the English translator immediately introduced the deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng and others who were sitting in the middle. The British colonel took a few steps forward, first saluted Tang Qiusheng and said: "Dear General Tang,

I am Colonel Davis, Chief of Staff of the British Empire's Eastward Regiment in India. Now, I have been ordered to negotiate the surrender with your army!"

Tang Qiusheng sat calmly, smiled slightly, and said: "You have made the wisest choice. I wonder what your Chelsea general is like? Does he have any requirements? You might as well speak up!"

Davis's eyes flashed with pain, and he said: "General Tang, our commander in Chelsea, unfortunately died in the line of duty last night. The commander of the eastward advancing army is now our chief of staff, Major General Weinersen, and I am serving him."

Order, come to discuss matters related to surrender!"

Tang Qiusheng's eyes jumped, "I really didn't expect that Chelsea, who was so arrogant, is already dead. The troops haven't started attacking yet. There is no possibility of being killed. He should have committed suicide. He was in a desperate situation and was unable to recover.

Under the circumstances, the last choice, Chelsea still has some military spirit, which can be considered a good thing, otherwise, the British and Indian troops in Imphal would not have chosen to surrender so quickly!"

Tang Qiusheng went on to say: "The conditions for surrender are very simple. All troops from Imphal's eastward marching legion should put down their weapons and immediately drive out of the city to assemble at our designated location. Because of your correct choice, the city and citizens of Imphal will

Your lives and personal property will be completely protected from the devastation of war, and all surrendered soldiers and officers will receive the treatment they deserve as prisoners of war, do you hear me clearly?"

Tang Qiusheng saw that as soon as he finished speaking, the face of the colonel named Davis relaxed obviously, and he felt as if he had escaped from death. Tang Qiusheng had dealt with the surrendered British and knew that these people of the British Empire

Soldiers, deep down, have a kind of pride that they cannot let go of. For example, Alexander made additional demands.

Tang Qiusheng had made full psychological preparations and was waiting for Colonel Davis to make some demands that were very reasonable to the British, but were actually absurd and ridiculous.

Unexpectedly, Colonel Davis did not make any unnecessary demands, but said gratefully: "General Tang, you are a real soldier. As prisoners of war, we know what to do. We fully accept your army's conditions.

And drive out of Imphal city as quickly as possible."

The surrender negotiator of the Eastward Army garrison in India left. Tang Qiusheng sat relaxedly on a marching chair and said to Guanghan: "Guanghan, immediately report the news of the surrender of the British Indian Army in Imphal to the division commander, and added in the telegram

In one sentence, Chelsea, the commander of the Eastward March Army of the Indian Army, has committed suicide!"

Yu Guanghan looked at him puzzled, Tang Qiusheng smiled and said: "Yes, he committed suicide, Guanghan, you can figure out the reason for yourself!" Yu Guanghan left without understanding, and Tang Qiusheng

Qiu Sheng leaned on the chair and dozed off!

After receiving Tang Qiusheng's telegram, Tang Qiuli laughed happily and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, Brother Qiusheng is really a blessed general. When he got there, the British and Indian troops there chose to surrender. No,

The soldiers who conquered the enemy in battle, well, first Alexander, then Chelsea, no, Chelsea has committed suicide, Yuhe, in Sido and Imphal, more than 100,000 British Indian soldiers were lost in the hands of Qiusheng brother

Alright?"

Zhao Yuhe smiled and replied: "Commander, I'm afraid it's more than that. Anyway, it's just more destruction than you commanded. Should we take action next?"

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Han Tie has just sent a telegram. An hour ago, seven brigades of Marines who landed on Sri Lanka Island have formed a siege situation around Colombo and eliminated the British and Indian troops there.

It’s just a matter of time before we join the army. Now, we are the only ones left. This will be the final battle and the final blow to the British!"

"Yuhe, order the troops on the front line in Muzaffarpur, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Howrah, and Calcutta to immediately move to Lucknow, Allahabad, Japurpur, and Perm

Lagar, Gongpur line, launch a fierce attack, the order adds that there is no limit on the advancing speed of the troops, but it is not allowed to be at the cost of casualties of the troops!"

Starting at around 6 a.m. on May 24, a total of 18 brigades of troops directly under the ** Division and the Sulu Mobile Corps located in the Central India area started from Muzaffarpur in the north and reached India in the south.

From the eastern port city of Kolkata, on a front line of more than 800 kilometers, they launched fierce attacks on various targets in the interior of India.

For a time, the area from Central India to the interior of India was filled with the roar of artillery, the sound of gunfire, and the smoke of war. The brigades of the ** Division, with the cooperation of bombers in the sky and tanks on the ground, advanced at an incredibly fast speed.

Surprisingly, all the second-line troops of the Eastward March Army of the Indian Army who retreated to the above-mentioned targets were unable to even parry. As soon as they made contact, the artillery shells of the ** division had not fallen on their heads in a large area, and they were invincible.

Fell thousands of miles.

By around 5 pm on the 24th, all attacking forces had completed their planned combat objectives and occupied Lucknow, Allahabad, Japurpur, Pomragul, Gonpur and other places.

Among them, the Xiao Jinshan Division of the 9th Brigade and the Fang Yuanshan Division of the 10th Brigade, which were responsible for attacking Lucknow and Kanpur, continued to attack without stopping, and successively occupied Aligarh and Agra.

Although it is not the main target of attack, it is less than 150 kilometers away from New Delhi, the political, economic, military and cultural center of Britain in India.

The Chinese troops were approaching the city, and New Delhi was in shock. The Governor-General of India was at a loss. He had only about 10,000 armed forces that could be put together. Alexander and Chelsea, with hundreds of thousands of troops, were of no avail. His own small force

, it’s not even enough to plug the gap between Chinese people’s teeth.

Urgent telegrams flew to the British mainland like snow flakes. All the suggestions had only one content, requesting the cabinet to immediately approve negotiations with the Chinese. Otherwise, the British Empire would really lose the South Asian subcontinent!
