Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Tang Qiuli's thoughts have jumped out of the current world and flown back to a few decades later. Since he has such strength and such an excellent opportunity, if he does not take advantage of it, historians of later generations will use it like this.  At first glance, I am a big fool, an idiot and a fool.

    Since the British Governor in India could create the McMahon Line and leave China with a scar, he cannot create the Tang and Qiu Offline and dismember the Indian continent. Anyway, India is now in the hands of the British.  If you want to give something but don't take it, it goes against the harmony of nature. Everything is a fait accompli. Even in later generations, let the Asans and the British fight the lawsuit.

    However, I am afraid that by then, Ah San and the others will not even be able to find their true master. This time he flew to Germany just to destroy the British Isles. Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli became very excited and prepared for his motherland in advance.  Getting rid of a restless and annoying neighbor is not a waste of time.

    From a distance, Shanhu saw that Tang Qiuli's expression was in a state of confusion and contemplation again. He thought to himself, "Okay, Xiaoqiu's old habit has happened again. Why are you giggling over there?" However, after that,  It has happened many times, and the mountain tiger has become accustomed to it.

    Shanhu came to Tang Qiuli to report something. The troops that entered the East India region early sent a capable guard regiment to greet their division commander. The regiment commander was not far away, and he was excited.  Waiting for the teacher's summons.

    When Shan Hu arrived in front of Tang Qiuli, he deliberately sighed and said, "Hey, I'm lost again. If I had known this, I would have asked Liu Xinlan to follow me, and it would have saved me the whole day of worrying!"

    Tang Qiuli came back to his senses and saw the sympathy on Shan Hu's face. He shook his head and sighed, glared at Shan Hu and said, "Huzi, why are you so lost? I'm thinking about the problem. What does it have to do with Liu Xinlan?"  , tell me, what¡¯s the matter?¡±

    Shanhu replied: "Look, you're angry." (Read the novel soon.) The army has sent people to greet us. The regiment leader is waiting for you, the senior commander, to summon us. I'm here to report and ask for help.  Instructions!"

    Tang Qiuli looked at Shanhu for a while, then smiled and said, "Huzi, you. When did you become glib? If Ouyang Lan sees it, would it be weird if you don't fix it?"

    Immediately, his face changed and he asked: "What did you just say? Send people to pick us up and return the strength of a regiment. It's nonsense. In this case. The main purpose is to hide. How big a target is a few thousand people?"  Do you know what they are thinking?"

    Colonel Colonel.  Excited and anxious, waiting for the division commander to meet, Tang Qiuli and Shan Hu came over. The regiment leader hurriedly stepped forward, stood at attention and saluted: "Report to the division commander, Yu Jingjiang, commander of the first regiment of the second brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps.  , on the order of the brigade commander, come to protect the safety of the division headquarters, please give instructions to the division commander!"

    Yu Jingjiang is a little nervous, too.  In the army of nearly one million people in the ** Division, there are probably several thousand regiment-level officers alone, but only a few can see the division commander in person and receive his instructions in person.  This is a great honor. When I accepted the mission, several other old guys were so jealous that their eyes were red, and they complained that the brigade commander was partial and gave away all the good things.

    Tang Qiuli took a look at Yu Jingjiang. He was an officer in his thirties. He exuded a capable air. Although he was sweating profusely, his military appearance and appearance showed no signs of confusion or embarrassment. He nodded slightly.  , very satisfied with his performance.

    Then, seemingly casually, he asked: "Captain Yu, why did your second brigade send someone to pick up the division headquarters? How far is your brigade headquarters from here? Was there any fighting on the way here?"

    Tang Qiuli has a kind attitude and a gentle tone. This is also Tang Qiuli's habit. He never gets angry with the commanders of the grassroots troops. If it is because he sends people to protect himself and exposes the hidden location and intentions of the second brigade, the brigade commander Major General Liao Zhenbang  , I'm afraid I'm going to be unlucky.

    Of course Yu Jingjiang didn't know. Tang Qiuli asked about the meaning of these words and replied honestly: "Report to the division commander, this is the hidden area of ??our second brigade. It is more than thirty kilometers away from the current position. This area  , were all under our control, and there was no danger. After receiving the telegram from the division headquarters, the brigade commander ordered our first regiment to protect the safety of the division. It was dark and the location of the brigade headquarters was difficult to find. "

    Yu Jingjiang's answer was concise and clear, without any nonsense or sloppiness. Tang Qiuli nodded with satisfaction. The problem he was most worried about no longer existed. His face became more kind and he said: "Captain Yu, could you please lead the way?"  , I will bother you, Brigadier Liao, tonight."

    Then he said to Zhao Yuhe beside him: "Yuhe, send a notice to the brigade commanders. Tomorrow morning, a military meeting will be held at the second brigade station to make arrangements for the battle against the British-Indian Army's Eastward March Corps. Let's go, don't let it go."  Commander Yu is waiting for us. Let's see what Brigadier Liao has prepared for us.?Local food?  "

    Yu Jingjiang smiled honestly, and his nervous mood immediately relaxed, and he thought to himself: "The teacher is more approachable than I thought, but I was nervous for nothing."

    Night has enveloped the land of East India. In the pitch-black night, a long convoy of vehicles speeds along a simple dirt road towards the station of the 2nd Brigade. The car lights cut through the night sky like sharp swords, except for the notification.  Except for the troops, no one would have thought that Tang Qiuli, the number one figure of the Army Division, the division commander who stirred up troubles in Indochina and the Hukang Valley, had entered the land of East India.

    "Compared with Tang Qiuli's relaxed and relaxed attitude, Lieutenant General Chelsea, the commander of the British Army's Eastward Regiment in Imphal, was in a bad mood and wanted to curse.

    According to the traditional habits of the British Army, the Eastward March Corps of the Indian Army should be organized into a group army, and the number of troops under its command can reach more than 200,000. Lieutenant General Chelsea could fly to Imphal a day earlier and open the troop deployment table.  , only took a few glances, and the first thing he did was to slam the coffee in his hand, together with the cup, at the feet of the training director of the Major General of the Army in India.

    The poor major general training director did not dare to say a word. He looked at the angry commander and was filled with grievances. Can he blame himself?  The daily training of the troops stationed in India is always a matter of hit or miss. The Indian soldiers are okay, the British soldiers are almost like young masters. When it comes to drinking, gambling and picking up women, all of them are masters.  , but when it comes to training, you can hide when you can, and rely on when you can.

    In addition, this time Commander Alexander marched eastward to northern Burma to fight with the Chinese. He also mobilized all the relatively well-trained troops. What was left were some old fried dough sticks, crooked melons and jujubes, etc.  soldiers, if most of the Indian soldiers were not there to fill the facade, I, as the training director, could be dismissed, and this department should also be abolished.

    Chelsea waved her hand, like a fly, telling the training director to get out immediately. He looked upset, and the training director, as if he had been granted amnesty, packed up the things on the table and disappeared from the eyes of the commander with movements faster than a rabbit.

    "If Chelsea wants to scold someone, the first thing she needs to scold is Alexander, this old bastard. He drained all the elite troops stationed in India to see what he has left for him?"

    According to the troop allocation table, there are no more than 90,000 troops in total. I am afraid only God knows how many positions there actually are. Moreover, they are distributed all over the Indian continent, especially in the East India and East Pakistan areas. There are almost only one troops left.  It's empty, the garrison in some places only has the strength of a pitiful company, but that's fine.

    The key is the quality of the soldiers. This is the most annoying thing about Chelsea. When he first arrived in Imphal, he took the time to check the local garrison with all the officers of the empty regiment command organ. It was not bad. Alexander gave Imphal a report.  Parr left behind a regiment of garrison troops, but when the troops were assembled, Chelsea's enthusiasm turned into a basin of cold water, which chilled her heart!

    It is said that it is a regiment, but the assembled soldiers are only a little more than two battalions, and most of them are Indian soldiers smelling of curry. As for our compatriots, they look like a swinger brother.  They all had a military temperament and were listless and unshaven, as if they were still hungover.

    The majority of the British soldiers were in disheveled military uniforms. If the Indian soldiers were not present, Lieutenant General Chelsea, who was extremely disappointed and furious, would not hesitate to order them to run along the playground until they vomited blood, so as not to hurt the British.  The Empire's soldiers are in disgrace.

    Checking the weapons and equipment again, Lieutenant General Chelsea was completely speechless. Many of the soldiers' weapons and equipment were actually dilapidated and defective products. The rifles in the hands of some soldiers were stained with rust in the barrels. They either lacked triggers or were missing.  After getting the parts, upon closer inspection, each soldier fired live ammunition less than ten times per year on average, with only five rounds fired each time.

    In other words, after serving as a soldier of the British Empire for two or three years, the total number of bullets fired was less than 200. Lieutenant General Chelsea was convinced that even if these soldiers were to shoot Chinese soldiers from a distance of 20 meters, among them  More than half of them would miss the target, and the rest would be so scared that they wet their pants, couldn't even lift the gun, or simply ran for their lives.

    As for the Imphal garrison regiment, the whole regiment does not even have a single heavy artillery or field artillery. It only has more than twenty mortars, and there are also very few light and heavy machine guns. This is the garrison of Imphal, an important town.  Army, what about other places?

    Lieutenant General Chelsea did not dare to think about it. That old bastard Alexander did a great job. He transferred all the artillery and tank troops away, leaving nothing good for himself. What happened?  In the Hukang River Valley in the north, he was surrounded by the Chinese and was pitifully waiting for rescue

    In the end, Lieutenant General Chelsea didn¡¯t even have the strength to get angry. The biggest problem he faced was how to solve the problem of the equipment of the troops, as well as the time for the troops scattered in various places to gather in Imphal on time.
