After Cai's army won a great victory in Gyantse, they drove the British army out of Gyantse County, and the local Tibetan people returned to their homeland, singing and dancing to thank the Imperial Defense Forces and present them with white Hada.

British Major General William. Jim, graduated from the Royal Military College, laude. He served in North Africa and the Indian colonies, and defeated the French and Germans on the battlefield, and was very strong. He received a telegram from Minto, the commander of the British army in India, and rushed to Gyantse with 2,000 British troops and 10,000 Indian servants. He sent a telegram back to Minto, boasting about Haikou: "Within a week, I will plant the flag of the British Empire all over the county town of Gyantse!" ”

They stationed troops in the canyon area on both sides of the Nianchu River and confronted the squadron. William knew that the planes of the squadron were real, and in order to prevent them from being bombed, he deliberately chose to camp troops in the valley, such steep terrain and high mountains were not conducive to the flight of the aircraft. In this way, the squadron can only fight with the British army, and he believes that the British army has an absolute advantage. Unfortunately, he met a strong opponent - Jiang Baili's artillery.

On that day, the southeast wind was blowing strongly, and the air was hot and dry. The terrain and orientation were more favorable for the British army. At the beginning, William personally went into battle, pulled out his command knife to the sky, and kept shouting "fire", "fire" in his mouth. The British shelling was quite intense, as if trying to drain all their stockpiles. The forward position of the squadron was greatly damaged, and from time to time a heavy artillery shell exploded in the Nianchu River, stirring up a row of drainage flowers.

William wanted to use the heavy artillery fire of the British army to break the defense line of the squadron. Fight with the squadron. Cai asked Jiang Baili if he would retreat and return to the city of Gyantse to fight a defensive battle. Jiang Baili shook his head and commanded the reserves to rush forward in the face of artillery fire. filled the previous gap: "This time the British army is menacing, and it cannot be easily retreated, and the British ** team must be given the heaviest counterattack and forced the British army to send the main infantry force to fight for the front line!" When the time comes, our artillery tactics will be able to exert great power! Besides, behind us are Tibetan compatriots, and we have no way out! They can't be allowed to go through the devastation of artillery fire again when they have just returned home. ”

In the sweltering forest. Swarms of mosquitoes are buzzing around. The squadron held on with difficulty, and after about half an hour, the wind began to turn. From the southeast wind to the southwest wind, Jiang Baili looked at the map used for artillery bombardment, and laughed: "The end of the British army is coming!" ”

Just now, because the shelling wind direction was favorable to the British army, the distance between the positions of the two sides was 6,000 meters. It is difficult to shoot accurately. One of the most difficult is the wind deviation! According to the performance of the 87 mm cannon equipped by China, at this distance, the wind deviation can reach about 20 meters, because the rifling design of the cannon at that time was not perfect, the weight of the shell was too light, and the aerodynamic shape of the shell was not smooth and round.

Of course, Jiang Baili will not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a counteroffensive. He personally went to the heavy artillery position of the squadron and endured the roar and vibration caused by the heavy artillery fire. Intently watched as the artillery staff officers drew a brief schematic diagram on the map, pointing out from time to time. The artillerymen saw Jiang Baili. Confidence doubled, determined to defeat the opponent in the first battle, this is a contest between Chinese and British artillery, it is a contest about the honor of soldiers!

Jiang Baili encouraged the soldiers: "Brothers, I know that we are facing the strongest opponent in the world, but the honor of our Chinese artillery depends on you!" I will fight side by side with you to the end! Until the British army is driven out of Tibet and out of Asia! Do you have faith? ”

"Yes!" The commanders of the artillery shouted in unison! They commanded in an orderly manner, observed the compass of the artillerymen, and then called up the data from the command map, turned the artillery brief solution cardboard, and obtained the basic parameters, plus the height difference between the artillery position and the local position, the wind speed and wind direction, and other values, and soon came up with a standard baseline shooting Zhuyuan, that is, the artillery shooting Zhuyuan on the virtual line in the center of the artillery position, and other artillery should refer to this data to adjust the firing range left and right.

"Fire!" After adjusting the parameters, Jiang Baili ordered a counterattack.

"Bang dang! The heart-wrenching explosions of the ...... rang out in the British positions and in the Grand Canyon, and the echoes were deafening. A huge gap was blown open in the position of the British 105-mm shells, which set off a rain of earth, and the British officers and soldiers within 20 meters of the center of the explosion were seriously injured either dead or ...... Mess.

Jiang Baili saw this scene in the telescope, and commanded the Chinese artillery to continue the onslaught, and then, more than a dozen heavy artillery shells fell on the British position, this time the landing point was closer to the ridge than the last time, and a shell fell near the heavy machine gun position of the warlord, and the powerful shock wave overturned the British army's 40-kilogram 7.92 mm Maxine heavy machine gun, and the brown soil splashed on the body of the British Army Major General William who commanded it. He patted the dirt on the leg of his trousers, cursed, "**", and asked the British artillery to return fire hard.

Ordinary people, analyzing the combat effectiveness of artillery, like to look at the number, model, caliber, and power of artillery, but in fact, the key to artillery lies in people -- the power of artillery lies in the people who command, especially when carrying out artillery bombardment tasks on targets outside the field of vision, the importance of people is immediately highlighted, the importance of artillery firing command instruments is immediately highlighted, and the importance of artillery maps is even more prominent. So, artillery, more of a mental confrontation, is a confrontation of calculated speed and accuracy, and the Chinese artillery is all college students, so it is not at all worse than the British artillery.

Under the command of Jiang Baili and the officers, they operated the steering machine, the high and low machine, loaded the shells and fired them. The parameters used were all derived from the artillery staff and the artillery observation post, relying on the tenacious combat effectiveness and numerical superiority, the British artillery was confused and defended the honor of the Chinese artillery.

Only then did William feel that he had underestimated the combat effectiveness of the squadron, and he watched the British artillery overturned by the shock wave of the shells one by one, and his heart was in pain. He was powerless, and to make matters worse, the moment he withdrew his gaze from the artillery position, there was movement on the British machine-gun position, and a group of soldiers dressed in Indian servants shook off the mud and sand, slowly climbed to the side of the machine gun, and overturned the heavy machine gun.

William shouted at the adjutant, "**, Madoff, what the hell is going on?" Go and see, are those Indian Asan crazy? ”

Before the adjutant could reply, there was a burst of gunfire from the British machine-gun position. The thousands of Indian servant troops turned out to be the best people. After the victory of the squadron in Gyantse,

Thousands of Indian servants were captured, their clothes were changed, and they were ambushed in the gorge long ago, when they came out of nowhere.

William drew his command knife from his waist and commanded a group of men and horses to deal with the puppet Indian servants, when fierce gunfire and rumbling explosions rang out in the eastern gorge, and countless horses' hooves trampled the ground with a loud sound in the rapid run. At the same time, a cry of death was heard at the front of the British position, and a Chinese cavalry battalion-sized cavalry began to charge, attacking from the flank.

I saw a black and oppressive Chinese cavalry in the far away in the canyon, hundreds of Chinese cavalry galloped and galloped, and some soldiers raised their guns from time to time to shoot and charge at the British army. William had no choice but to hastily command a group of British cavalry to meet the Chinese cavalry.

"Signal soldiers! Artillery No. 2, 5, 8, 11 positions, all artillery, according to the predetermined plan, boom! ”

Immediately, the trumpets sounded from the Chinese artillery positions, and Jiang Baili commanded the artillery to launch a decisive attack...... Numerous bombing points exploded in the ranks of the British cavalry. In a flash of bright light, brown earth flew, people screamed horses, and groups of British cavalry were blown away, cut down by machine-gun bullets, and shocked to fall off their horses. However, the onslaught of the Chinese cavalry continued, and the speed did not slow down in the slightest, and the metal parts of the heavy sabers and rifles in their hands also reflected a dazzling light.

That decisive battle was fought in the bloody sun. William's British troops were attacked on three sides, and the artillery positions were soon occupied by the squadron. The squadron turned the muzzle of the heavy artillery. The cavalry and the soldiers who had infiltrated the Indian servant army were red-eyed.

William's forehead, scratched by shrapnel fragments, oozed blood, flowing to the corners of his mouth, the salty smell of blood, and the command knife in his hand was blackened by the blood of the adjutant. He was desperate, this fiasco was inevitable. He felt frustrated. But if he had known that he had lost to Jiang Baili, the Chinese god of artillery, he would not have been so depressed and desperate.

William, standing in the icy sunset, gave the order to abandon the valley positions and the British retreated. Many of the British and Indian servants, who did not have time to escape, chose to surrender. Those Indian servant troops covering the retreat of the British army became cannon fodder and live targets for the squadron, and a large number of them died.

In this decisive battle of the Chu River, the British army suffered more than 1,200 casualties and 400 prisoners, while the Indian servant army was captured 5,000 and killed more than 4,000. The squadron achieved a resounding victory over Great Britain. Only then did Minto realize that he was wrong, and sent a telegram to London: "Our army of the British Empire has suffered an unprecedented defeat! I dare to guarantee that in the future our opponents will not be Germans, but Chinese! ”

The British army was routed all the way, and Cai Ye commanded the army in pursuit, and soon reached the vicinity of the McHonma line. If they fight again, China and Britain will have the possibility of an all-out war. Cai Yi sent a telegram to ask Song Xiaofei whether he was still chasing or not, Song Xiaofei replied that he had won a big battle, and he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue, isn't that a fool? The duty of a soldier is to regain lost territory! (To be continued......)
