Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Xiao Jinshan, commander of the 9th brigade of the **Division's direct corps, and Fang Yuanshan, commander of the 10th brigade, were tangled in their hearts. They had not fought a decent battle since they entered the Hukang River Valley. In Xinduo, they were captured.  Capture prisoners and take over for defense. Here, it is even more outrageous. Thousands of wounded soldiers, medics and nurses of the British and Indian troops were captured. What is going on?

    It is not accurate to say that he was caught. They took the initiative to send him to his door, and his attitude was very serious and sincere, as if he was afraid of not being captured.

    Looking at the demeanor of these guys, they felt like they were meeting relatives, with white flags and smiling faces. There were also white flags hanging on the trees on both sides of the road. What's more, there were no white flags. Taking out the white sheets also  They were hung up properly, as if they were not visible, and the guns were piled neatly. The brains of the British and Indian soldiers were not burned out, were they?

    Several officers, with school-level military ranks, limped into the presence of Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan. First, they "popped" their military strength, and then they babbled a lot of foreign words, which seemed to take up a lot of time.  It seemed like a bargain, and the two of them were a little dizzy. Fortunately, there were many officers proficient in English in each unit of the ** division. After a few words, they figured out the reason.

    Looking at the half-dead and weak wounded soldiers of the British and Indian Army who were covered with bandages, Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan had two heads. If there were thousands of people, if they were all taken away, their vanguard group would not have to do anything else.  We might as well turn it into a prisoner of war camp.

    The two of them combined their efforts and simply sent a telegram to the division commander. This troublesome matter should be left to the troops behind to solve it!

    After receiving the telegram from the two men, Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, not because of the injured British and Indian soldiers, but because of the military doctors and nurses. With the increasing expansion of the ** division, there was no problem with weapons and equipment, but the field hospital had experience.  To be fair, doctors and nurses are in short supply.  The education level of the British is far higher than that of the country.

    Although the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Military Medical University recruits a large number of students every year, it still cannot keep up with the development trend of the army.  These captured British military doctors and nurses are what the army urgently needs. They are gifts given to me by Alexander. After ideological transformation and better treatment, they will still be used by me. How can I not accept them all?

    As for those wounded soldiers, they are also of great use.  It was a bargaining chip for negotiations with the British. Tang Qiuli immediately ordered Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, the director of the division's logistics department, to send a special person to deal with the matter. All wounded soldiers would be treated, and military doctors and nurses would be placed separately. In one sentence.  A few months later, the person who is going to become a master, of course.  All the treatment expenses will be recorded in the account, and when the time comes, they will be calculated together with the British!

    By May 5, the eight brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps finally reached Xido eight hours ahead of schedule. At this time, Alexander's tens of thousands of troops were still under indiscriminate bombardment by Le Yiqin.  As if crawling like a tortoise, with a sense of obsession, he retreated towards Xiduo.

    On May 6, Tang Qiuli issued an order for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps to move from West Duoxi to the East India line.  In the area of ??Simpson and Lambgar, they deployed covertly and waited for orders. The 8th and 9th brigades, as well as the 10th, 11th, and 12th brigades that had arrived in West Duo for a few days, a total of five brigades, were deployed in West Duo.  Wait for Alexander's troops to hit the wall.

    At this time, his attention was no longer on Alexander, who was trapped in the urn, but on the other troops of the British-Indian Army in India. That was the last bit of the British Empire in the South Asian subcontinent, and it was what Tang Qiuli wanted to eat next.  The goal.

    Once the remnants of Alexander's troops were blocked in Sido, the British and Indian troops in India would not sit back and watch tens of thousands of soldiers being annihilated by themselves near the border of East India. They would definitely use up their last elite troops.  , came to the rescue, Tang Qiuli hoped that British Prime Minister Churchill could do this, it is best to do this.

    On May 7, Tang Qiuli handed over the command of the directly affiliated corps to the deputy division commander Tang Qiusheng who came from Yangon. He took the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe, the guard brigade captain Huang Shanhu, and the division headquarters  Members took a plane and rushed to Xiduo to form the East India Campaign Command.

    According to the development of the war situation, the Northern Burma Campaign has been divided into two parts. One part is in Xiduo, where tens of thousands of Alexander's remaining troops are besieged. The main part is in East India. The target of the battle is the British garrison who came to rescue Alexander.  The Indian army was the last force, Alexander was the bait, and the British and Indian troops who came were the fat.

    Before leaving, at the temporary field airport in Xinduo, Tang Qiuli held the hand of Tang Qiusheng, who had just got off the plane, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiusheng, I didn't intend to trouble you to come all the way, but the war situation  There have been new changes. In the East India area, someone needs to be in charge. That is your old army. You were supposed to go there, and you can use it easily. But the battle plan was all drawn up by Yu He, so I will do it for you!  "

    Tang Qiusheng looked at his cousin with satisfaction.?? nodded and said: "Fortunately, I'm in good health. When I arrived, Mei Xue asked me to bring a lot of good things, which are all on the plane. You were too hasty. A telegram didn't even take the time to prepare.  No, she flew to northern Myanmar, and Mei Xue complained so much!"

    Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Brother Qiusheng, the play you sang in Yangon caused Alexander a lot of losses. An ambush battle in Mesikailing made him dizzy. At this moment, Le  Yiqin's bombers are bombing day and night, which is enough for Alexander. By the way, Brother Qiu Sheng, let Yu He introduce the situation of the Xiduo battlefield in the Northern Burma Campaign, Yu He!  "

    Tang Qiuli shouted several times, but Zhao Yuhe, who usually stayed close to him, was not around. Tang Qiusheng said: "Stop shouting, Yuhe and Yu Guanghan, I'm afraid they have already started handing over at this time, Xiaoqiu,  What about my old troops? They are not all your subordinates. Just the dozen or so brigade commanders under my command, who have not been trained under you? "

    After Tang Qiusheng finished speaking, both of them laughed. Indeed, the brigade commanders of the various regiments of the ** Division, including the commanders of the regiments, were all old men who had left the Blood Hand Regiment. Many of them had left Tangjiawopu together.  In the past few years, both of his partners have become senior generals of the army. When the two of them talked, they felt quite emotional about the vicissitudes of life.

    While the two brothers were talking, Zhao Yuhe and Yu Guanghan came over, chatting and laughing. They were both chiefs of the Army Staff Division. When Zhao Yuhe was the chief, Yu Guanghan was the deputy chief.  , old acquaintances for many years, the two had a very good personal relationship, and they had an absolute tacit understanding when working together. However, later, Zhao Yuhe was transferred to Liu Tiehan's East Point Force as chief of staff, so there was less contact.

    After Zhao Yuhe was transferred back to the division as chief of staff, this was the first time the two met. They met as old friends and had endless things to talk about. However, the division commander and deputy division commander were waiting at the airport. One had just arrived and the other was coming soon.  If you want to leave, you have time to talk about personal friendship. Therefore, after Zhao Yuhe briefly introduced the situation, he hurried to the airport. He was about to fly to Xiduo with his division commander Tang Qiuli.

    As soon as Yu Guanghan saw Tang Qiuli, he first saluted with a military salute, "Hello, sir!" Then he began to complain, "Sir, this is unfair. This old guy Alexander has lost his temper with a few tricks of yours.  They have become overripe persimmons that fall off when touched. You can let the deputy division commander and me clean up such a coward. There is no challenge. Isn¡¯t this biased? Commander, let¡¯s discuss it. The deputy division commander and I will go to East India.  ,How about it?"

    Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Guanghan, I can't make the decision. The East India battle plan was all made by your old boss. The main thing is Chief of Staff Zhao agrees. I have no objection. What about Yuhe? You decide  Bar!"

    Zhao Yuhe just smiled slightly and did not speak. Instead, he gave Yu Guanghan a wink, which meant, go and grind the teacher. Yu Guanghan saw that there was no chance. Zhao Yuhe was addicted to fighting more than himself.  Da, how could he give up such an opportunity so easily? However, he was quite satisfied. Fighting was better than staying in Yangon.

    Tang Qiuli looked at his watch and said: "Brother Qiu Sheng, Guang Han, in the battle of Xiduo, we encircled but did not attack. The purpose was to fish out other British and Indian troops. Okay, Yu He and I should  gone!"

    Tang Qiuli's plane flew along the Hukang River Valley in the west direction. Le Yiqin sent two squadrons of fighter jets to escort him. Knowing that there was no danger in the skies over northern Myanmar and even East India, Le Yiqin acted with caution.  Tang Qiusheng was not accommodating and had no choice but to follow their wishes despite the principle of no big mistake.

    It¡¯s the early summer season, and the Hukang River Valley is no longer the same green color as it was a month ago, but is filled with a vibrant green. Looking out of the airplane window, everything is green and brilliant.  Under the sun, the Hukang River stretches into the distance like a shining ribbon, which is refreshing and refreshing.

    However, what came into view from time to time was the barren red soil, swaying trees, and patches of burnt wood, which somewhat detracted from the scenery. Needless to say, it was the masterpiece of Le Yiqin's bomber. Tang Qiuli saw it and also  Secretly surprised, how many bombs did Le Yiqin drop on top of Alexander's head?

    Tang Qiuli also carefully observed it and found no trace of the British and Indian soldiers at all. He really didn't know how the bomber pilots found the target?

    On the way, they happened to encounter a group of bombers returning in neat formation after the bombing. They met the plane of division commander Tang Qiuli. All the pilots were overjoyed. Under the order of the formation commander, every bomber headed towards him.  This is the highest aviation etiquette for flying a plane and shaking its wings a few times.

    Tang Qiuli's face showed a satisfied smile. The Southern Flying Group, after falling through the war, has grown into the unquestionable air supremacy in Southeast Asia and even the South Asian subcontinent. All of this is inseparable from Le Yiqin.Tang Qiuli withdrew his gaze and said to Zhao Yuhe in the back seat: "Yuhe, draft a telegram!"
