- General Burke was a little desperate.
The fierce Chinese offensive made him and his men feel collapsed. The mountains roared and the tsunami, and the densely packed Chinese soldiers were like a flood, were about to wash them away.
¡°Obviously, the Chinese will never give up as long as they have not occupied this place.
As for Montgomery, there was no other action except encouragement and comfort. Now for Boerke, what he needs is not comfort, but the most real support.
However, there are no reinforcements¡§
It got dark and dawned again, and then General Boerke and his men once again had to face the most terrifying impact from the Chinese Army.
Apart from the exhaustion of the entire brigade, the most disturbing emotion was the despair.
The Tambia Valley is full of Chinese soldiers, and the confidence of the St. Meissen Infantry Brigade, which cannot receive effective support, is quickly shaken. Many of them doubt whether they can continue to hold on.
Soon bad news reached General Burke¡¯s ears, and a company of troops once again suffered a terrible blow. Most of them were killed, and all the rest were taken prisoners.
Now, General Burke knew that the final moment had arrived.
He also knows the importance of his responsibilities. If the Tambia Valley is lost, then the troops commanded by General Montgomery will be most directly exposed to the Chinese attack, and at the same time, the Germans will also launch the most effective attack. , leaving the possibility of collapse of the British army throughout Africa at any time.
General Burke has given up all illusions. The only thing he has to do now is to fulfill the honor of a British officer and hold on here to the death.
The Tambia Valley has been regarded by General Burke as his own tomb. 1
On March 5, the Chinese ** team once again advanced the front, and troops of the St. Meissen Infantry Brigade collapsed one after another, and the breath of death deeply enveloped this unit.
General Burke began to prepare for the worst. He ordered the destruction of classified information, which would never fall into Chinese hands if that failed.
The sound of gunfire outside sounded very clear. Perhaps Chinese troops began to appear around their brigade headquarters?
Requests for reinforcements continued to come from the front, but General Boerke could only smile bitterly and ask that they must persist alone. He did not have any troops to send them.
He made a last request for support to Montgomery. The good news was that General Montgomery had done everything he could and sent an infantry regiment and a tank company to reinforce the Tambia Valley. The bad news is that due to bombing by the Luftwaffe, the reinforcements are moving slowly and will not arrive until the 7th at the earliest.
Number 7? General Burke shook his head in distress. Can your troops still hold on until the 7th?
¡°General, a Chinese captain has arrived and demands to see you immediately.¡±
"A Chinese captain?" General Boerke was startled, but then he reacted: "He's here to persuade you to surrender, right? Well, let him in."
¡°As General Burke had judged, this captain who could speak fluent English was indeed here to persuade us to surrender. He and General Boerke analyzed the current poor situation of the St. Meissen Infantry Brigade and suggested that for the safety of the soldiers' lives, the St. Meissen Infantry Brigade should immediately lay down their weapons, and the squadron will ensure their safety.
"I refuse." Burke's answer was very firm: "Even if the situation on the battlefield is not favorable to us now, I will never order my soldiers to lay down their weapons, and I will not tarnish the honor of the British Emperor." honor!"
"That's a pity." The Chinese captain said calmly: "General, you must consider what you and your men will face if you reject our kindness. Your troops will be attacked in retaliation by us. At the same time, After the St. Meissen Infantry Brigade was defeated, we could not guarantee the safety of the British officers and soldiers of the brigade."
"That's our responsibility, Captain!"
Burke seemed very stubborn: "Thank you for your kindness, but my soldiers understood their responsibilities from the first minute they set foot on the battlefield. All their sacrifices are worth it in my opinion."
The Chinese captain did not get what he wanted and left here with some regrets.
However, Boerke knew very well that the Chinese were not there to intimidate him. They would destroy this place and their own troops at all costs.
Fierce artillery retaliation began.
A large number of artillery shells roared towards the British position, and a large number of German aircraft appeared over the battlefield. ?Attack¡¤Although the attack was quickly repelled, more Chinese troops soon appeared in front of General Burke.
The Chinese obviously thought they had captured a big prey. They did not use heavy weapons, but patiently built simple fortifications around the perimeter. They wanted to catch it alive.
Looking at the Chinese soldiers on the opposite side who were busy but busy in an orderly manner, General Burke understood why he failed.
What I am facing is a group of elite and well-trained troops. They are brave and decisive when attacking, but they are so calm when facing major problems on the battlefield.
The failure was not unjust, General Burke thought in his heart.
After careful preparation, the Chinese attack began.
They advanced here from two directions, suppressing the British with machine gun fire, and then the infantry controlled the situation here bit by bit. If General Berkeley wanted to rely on his own guards and staff to resist the Chinese attack, it would be really difficult for him. It's something that's unlikely to happen.
"General, we can't go on any longer."
As soon as a staff officer said these words, he groaned and fell to the ground. He was hit by a cold gun from the Chinese¡§
"Yes, I can't hold on any longer. General Burke thought sadly in his heart.
After tenacious resistance, the British here still failed to stop the Chinese advance. They no longer had to wait for the general's orders, they proactively put down their weapons.
At 1 pm on March 6, 1943, more than a dozen Chinese soldiers stood in front of General Burke. The leading Chinese military officer said in less than standard English:
"Sir, you are captured."
General Burke smiled with relief, and then put down the weapon in his hand.
The battle in the Tambia Valley ended with the capture of General Burke. The door to the battlefield was opened. Now the Chinese Army can unscrupulously attack the main force of the British army commanded by Montgomery.
When Montgomery learned that the St. Meissen Infantry Brigade had been almost completely wiped out, even though he had been mentally prepared, he was still stunned.
St. Meissen is an elite British army. They have performed extremely well on the African battlefield and were able to launch a counterattack even under Rommel's fierce offensive. However, now this unit has been defeated by the Chinese.
Now, the Chinese and German troops are about to launch the most direct attack on the Allies. The situation on the entire African battlefield is already in danger for the Allies!
Montgomery could not think of any way to block such an attack. Originally, he had successfully reversed the passive situation of the Allies in the African battlefield and blocked Rommel's sharp offensive. However, when another Allied enemy: China appeared on the battlefield, When I got there, all of this changed most directly.
May God bless Britain. May God bless Britain?
Montgomery suspected that God was on the side of the Chinese.
"General, this is the last telegram sent by General Burke."
Montgomery¡¯s chief of staff placed a telegram in front of him, but Montgomery did not go
No need to read, there is no need to read anything now.
"General, the Chinese are gathering in large numbers."
"General, the German bombing has intensified!"
News one after another reached Montgomery¡¯s ears, and he knew that the largest offensive operation on the continent of Africa would soon begin.
The terrifying opponent he faced was named:
Liu Zhaocheng!
