"The British have stopped attacking, it's our turn to counterattack!" Gao Yitong said to Zhang Haobo and Mahmoudi beside him.

Zhang Haobo nodded, "Yes, we have few people, and if we don't want to fight, there will be no way to stay in Kabul." ”

"Charge now?" Mahmoudi asked.

Gao Yitong glanced at Zhang Haobo, Zhang Haobo smiled and said: "You are the commander-in-chief, you can decide, I think the time is about the same, we can't wait, that is, we want to attack while the British army and the Indians, as well as the group of Afghans under Abdul Rahman Khan are tired." ”

Gao Yitong looked at his watch, "Wait another hour, they should all rest immediately, Mahmoudi, you go and tell the signal soldiers, tell our troops, all are not allowed to rest, hurry up and eat, an hour later, at eleven o'clock in the evening, launch a full-scale counterattack on the Anglo-Indian coalition forces on time." ”

"Okay." Mahmoudi agreed.

"Wait a minute." Gao Yitong remembered something, and chased him out again, "Tell them to fight hard when they counterattack, but pay attention to Mingjin to withdraw his troops." ”

Gao Yitong was afraid of the rise of the Afghan indigenous army and other killings, and did not listen to the command, because the number of Anglo-Indian troops was too large, and not everyone was involved in the battle during the day, there were more than 100,000 people, and there were only 3,000 people on his side.

"Okay." Mahmoudi nodded, then went down to convey.

"Lao Gao's heart is really fine." Zhang Haobo appreciated.

"It's not okay if it's not detailed, I just remembered that it's not the soldiers who command us, these natives, waiting for the rise of the next killing, refuse to come out, they may be surrounded by others, and it is possible to make all the dumplings in a battle." Gao Yitong said with a smile.

"Yes, it's a possibility." Zhang Haobo said: "We are now like doing a math problem, we have to figure out how many Afghans can be added from behind every day, and how many Afghans can be consumed here every day." ”

"If there is no main force of the Chinese army to Afghanistan, we will drive the British out, which is really a great achievement." Gao Yitong yearned.

Zhang Haobo snorted, "You really dare to think that if you really drove the British out of Afghanistan without the help of the Chinese army, then Your Majesty may award you the Pentagon Medal." ”

The highest medal of the Chinese country is the pentagonal medal of the national flag pattern, which is divided into five classes, the first-class pentagonal medal, the second-class pentagonal medal, the third-class pentagonal medal, the fourth-class pentagonal medal, the fifth-class pentagonal medal, and the first class is the highest honor.

So far, the Emperor has only awarded the Order of the Pentagon of the Fourth Class and the Order of the Pentagon of the Fifth Class, and it was not awarded by His Majesty the Emperor himself, but by the government and the army to the Secretariat of the President.

"If I have it, you have it too, we are all together, and we are all loyal to His Majesty and Huaguo!" Gao Yitong heard Zhang Haobo mention the Pentagon Medal, and immediately stood in awe and said solemnly.

Zhang Haobo also restrained his smile and nodded solemnly. "The medal is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the great cause of Huaguo and Your Majesty, to serve Your Majesty!"

"Serve Your Majesty!" Gao Yitong followed and said.

An hour later, the Chinese officers were punctually leading the entire Afghan indigenous army in a counteroffensive, and several bugles pierced the night sky, and the sound of these bugles was so sharp in the ears of the British officers that it seemed as if death was calling them.

The sound of killing sounded in the sky, and the soldiers of the Afghan indigenous army, who had been driven for a whole day, now accumulated a belly of anger and accumulated a huge anger, originally white-knuckle combat was what they were best at, not to mention that the courage and will to fight were several times or even ten times that of the Anglo-Indian coalition army, so this kind of night attack and white-knuckle combat was the most suitable counterattack method for the Afghan indigenous army.

Listening to the shouts and killings outside, Daniel Lewis, the commander of the British army in India, who was camping on the hillside high ground, fell under the marching bed in fright, and asked loudly: "What's the matter?" ”

Daniel Lewis camped with the artillerymen, so that he could command the artillery and belong to the rear of the formation, so as not to threaten his command post.

"It was the Afghans who attacked at night, and the momentum was very loud, and it seemed that the whole army was dispatched." The adjutant immediately rushed in to report.

Daniel Lewis had already gotten up, didn't care about getting dressed, took the binoculars from the coat hook next to him and rushed out of the barracks, looking at the battlefield in Kabul, only to see the red light in the sky, it was obvious that the Afghan army and the Anglo-Indian army were already glued together.

Daniel Lewis couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Okay, just to fight like this, I don't care how good they can fight, just a few thousand people want to fight with my army of more than 100,000, this way to die faster!" They're looking for death. You immediately send an order, let the army stabilize, outflank the Sino-Afghan army, and annihilate them completely. ”

"Yes, General." The adjutant agreed loudly, and went down to send a herald to convey the orders of Daniel Lewis, the commander of the British forces in India.

At this time, Abdul Rahman Khan also came out, and after listening to Daniel Lewis's words, Abdul Rahman Khan frowned and did not answer.

Daniel Lewis glanced at Abdul Rahman Khan, "What? Do you think I'm not right? ”

"General, please don't underestimate the command ability of the Chinese army officers, and don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Afghans, they are very strong when they have no way to retreat." Abdul Rahman Khan replied.

"The Afghans are strong?" Daniel Lewis glanced at Abdul Rahman Khan, and said in his heart, I don't see where your tens of thousands of men are strong! "Not necessarily, right?"

Abdul Rahman Khan naturally knew what Daniel Lewis did not say, Abdul Rahman Khan sighed silently, like his subordinates, as well as the Indian coercion army, all belong to the traitor army, how strong can it be? They didn't even want to fight, and most of the British troops were from poor families in Britain itself, and they went to fight in distant Central Asia, how strong could they be? Why don't you understand such a simple truth?

This is also what Abdul Rahman Khan fears the most.

Abdul Rahman Khan was worried, as were Gao Yitong and Zhang Haobo.

The two of them stared at the tragic battlefield, their expressions solemn.

"How long do you think we're going to fight like this?" Zhang Haobo asked.

"When half of the people are dead, they will start withdrawing." Gao Yitong replied.

Zhang Haobo nodded, didn't say anything, although he was nervous, but after all, he was watching the Afghans fighting with the Anglo-Indian coalition army, and the pressure was not very great, the two of them were worried that the officers of the Chinese army would be killed and injured in the war, because they had to take them with them, and they all went up together, and they couldn't just let the Afghans go up, while the Chinese army officers were watching the play in the back.

On this battlefield, the British army officers, the Chinese army officers, are the leading role, but not the main force, the real main force is the Indians, the Afghans.

Abdul Rahman Khan's Afghans were not confident and guilty when facing the Afghan army under the former Mohammed Yakub Khan, after all, they were traitors, and they all shrank back, if it weren't for the British officers pressing the formation, in such a tragic situation, they would have withdrawn from the battlefield and collapsed.

However, the Indians killed more ferociously, because they were outnumbered and knew the importance of taking Kabul, and after taking Kabul, it would be difficult for the Sino-Afghan army to gain a foothold on the south bank of the Helmand River, and there would be at least a break in the war, and they would be able to get more rewards!

If there is no remuneration to support it, such a huge Anglo-Indian coalition army cannot be launched, and the war is always fought with money.

Half of the people were almost dead, Zhang Haobo visually saw that there were still about 2,000 people in the Sino-Albanian United Army on his side, and wanted to remind Gao Yitong loudly, but seeing Gao Yitong staring intently at the battlefield, Zhang Haobo still held back.

Zhang Haobo knew why Gao Yitong had not ordered a retreat, this kind of fighting was beneficial to the Afghans in one aspect, and moreover, the Anglo-Indian coalition army had dozens of times the superiority in strength, so old for a long time, it had not yet formed an encirclement of the Sino-Afghan coalition army?..
