208, Dannatt's counterattack

China's "co-work plan" has caused the entire Western world to mourn, and countless small countries have sent their elite troops to join the coalition to participate in this "crusade of the century" when they saw China's "retreat" and thought that they could take advantage of it.

However, they never imagined that a man-made flood would wipe out their elite and shatter their bones, and it was not enough to describe the mood of the leaders of these small countries at the moment.

Li Bufan's image has been completely "demonized" in the Western world, and some unscrupulous tabloids have described Li Bufan as an evil magician in Western mythology in order to increase their popularity. Why is China's Air Force so powerful? It was all caused by Li Bufan's blessing of wind magic. For a time, the whole Western world was full of rumors, and people were in panic.

Never before in history has a war been so devastating to an army. The loss of one million is not unacceptable, what makes the West unacceptable is that even the officers have been lost, and the Western world also has hundreds of millions of people. The best officers in any country are active duty officers (as a whole).

How many company commanders does an army of 1.5 million have? More than 10,000 of them. How many platoon lengths do you have to have? Thirty or fifty thousand, right? How many squad leaders do you have to have? Hundreds of thousands. How many battalion commanders, regiment commanders, brigade commanders do you have? How many good staff officers at all levels are there? A series of officers add up, how can it be more than 200,000. Where to find so many good officers at once?

So many officers and soldiers died without a place to be buried. The failure to find the corpses in the capital has caused the families of European officers and soldiers to mourn all over the country, and the European countries that were already anti-war almost rioted and were made into a mess, especially the governments of some small countries that they did not want to do but insisted on joining in the fun, and they fell on the spot.

The horror of Li Bufan's "co-work plan" not only deeply hit the Western European and American worlds, but even the red empire in the north was frightened.

The shock that this war brought to Stalin was unimaginable, and he realized that the war could be fought in this way, and that such a brilliant victory could be achieved at such a small cost, which is simply similar to the use of the bitter cold against the enemy several times in Russian history.

Stalin and the entire Military Council immediately ordered the translation of all books related to military books in China. They need to learn. Otherwise, how would they face such an unpredictable opponent in the future? Don't forget, although the Far East was returned to China in order to sabotage the Western world's plan to divert the water to the north, they still occupied a large amount of Chinese territory. Now China is so powerful, so terrifying. Once the war between China and Western imperialism is over. There is no doubt that the occupation of their territory by Soviet Russia will never be tolerated. But how could Soviet Russia be willing to give up millions of square kilometers of territory?

"According to our intelligence, that's it." On a military map of the world, Yagoda explained the changes in the situation and the marching routes of the Chinese and Western coalition forces, and of course such a large-scale decisive battle and troop movements. It's almost impossible to hide from anyone.

Stalin, Trotsky and several marshals looked very ugly, and Marshal Blyukherr said bitterly: "The distance of the Chinese is almost half less than that of the Xiafei Burmese Front, and there is still half the distance that can be transported by water to reduce physical exertion, and it is impossible for Xiafei to jump out of the encirclement of the Chinese." ”

Trotsky sighed: "Xiafei's troops quickly interspersed the supply lines of the Chinese who wanted to capture Myitkyina, because the march was too fast, the supply carrying was limited, and if the supply lines continued to deliver supplies, they could barely support the war." But now that the supply line has been cut off directly, it is a question whether it can break through. The Chinese are so powerful. Judging from the current situation, the Chinese were even more likely to lure Xia Fei to attack the direction of Myitkyina, and only by luring Xia Fei's main force to central Myanmar would Xia Fei not have time to escape. ”

Stalin frowned and gave Yagoda a look, and Yagoda understood and asked: "Your Excellency, aren't the Chinese worried that Myitkyina will really be captured?" ”

Trotsky said bitterly: "Even if Xia Fei is lucky enough to capture Myitkyina, he will only have a dead end. How much material can the Chinese consume by annihilating the coalition forces of Western Assam with a flood? Even if it is not enough to counterattack Myitkyina, it is no problem to block Xia Fei's retreat. How many troops does China have now? Eight million, of which more than 5 million are in this area, and they can mobilize superior forces to encircle and intercept Xiafei's headquarters at any time, China's weapons and ammunition are completely different from those of the West, and without the materials that can be used, they will die sooner or later. What a calculation. It's interlocking and hard to prevent. ”

Yagoda glanced at Stalin, saw the signal, and continued: "Xia Fei is also empty, and he actually stepped into the trap of the Chinese like this." If he had been more steady, protecting the flanks of friendly forces, there would not have been such a catastrophe. ”

Trotsky shook his head and said, "Xia Fei is a famous French general, how can he be so easily fooled?" At the beginning, the Chinese side divided its million troops on the Burma and Bengal borders, and the coalition forces had to divide their forces to resist in order to prevent the Chinese army of one million troops from outflanking the Assam Front. Hundreds of thousands of troops withdrew across the Salween River to defend across the river to ensure the security of the Indochina Peninsula, and Xia Fei only needed to deploy a maximum of 200,000 troops to block the counterattack of the Chinese army on the opposite side by taking advantage of the natural danger of the Salween River. The Chinese side retreated again, divided its forces again, and placed a group army on the defensive line in the direction of Myitkyina and in the direction of Tengchong, and ordered a group army to be used as a reserve, but this reserve was mainly placed in the direction of Tengchong. In other words, the enemy that Xia Fei's more than 700,000 troops need to face to attack Myitkyina is only about 150,000 troops of a Chinese group army, and who can give up such a good opportunity to cut off the supply lines of the Chinese front? ”

"Stalin and the marshal of Soviet Russia were shocked into a cold sweat by the trap of the Chinese side, which is simply a devilish opponent, and it is impossible to guard against it.

"Boom" shells roared down on the wide river and stirred up columns of water in the sky, and from time to time ships loaded with officers and men of the Chinese National Defense Forces were shot, and the shells hit the sky and burst into flames, sending the flesh and blood of Chinese officers and men flying everywhere.

The Chinese transport ships that went down the river docked one after another outside the firing range, the soldiers landed, and the others within the firing range turned around on the river to get out of the firing range, and the fleet that simply opened the way was only five ships, and lost two of them, one of which was seriously damaged, which was not a heavy loss.

And at the artillery position at the confluence of the Tibetan and Tista rivers, Dannat and Olife turned pale, and Dannat shouted: "Check me, that idiot fired a cannon, I will shoot him!" Shoot him!! ”

Olife said bitterly: "General, don't check." The second battle of Assam was so disastrous that now the morale of the army is already in turmoil, and if it continues to investigate, it is afraid that it will cause the troops to mutiny and retreat, and the consequences will be even more unimaginable. ”

Admiral Dannat glared at Olive, and for a long time he kicked in hatred against a tree on the observation heights, as if he had mistaken the tree for the artilleryman who had fired in advance. When he saw that there were only five ships of soldiers in the Chinese forward force, he immediately prepared to order that no artillery bombardment should be allowed, and he had to wait for the arrival of a large number of Chinese troop transports, cover them with dense artillery fire, and inflict heavy losses on the Chinese troops. But he never thought that the troops had become frightened birds, seeing that the Chinese's ship actually opened fire immediately, one fired and the other artillery also opened fire, as soon as the artillery group was exposed, it was equivalent to hitting the grass and startling the snake, is the Chinese a fool, can they still crash into the artillery fire?

But it is useless to be angry, it has become a fait accompli. Dannatt said to Olive: "Give me a good look, how many troops are the Chinese?" Although he is called Olivee is observing, in fact, he is also watching, of course, he is mainly looking at the equipment and fire deployment of the Chinese.

After a long time, Olivei said: "General, I counted carefully, there should be only two regiments, at most half a division. ”

Admiral Dannatt said, "Damn the Chinese, it's just too much of a deception. They didn't even carry heavy weapons, at most mortars. Half a division dares to flaunt its might in front of our entire army of more than 100,000 people" Suddenly, he suddenly came to his senses, "Yes, although the Chinese have swept through the Indian ships, they cannot place so many ships in this inland river, and many ships must have gone to the Indochina Peninsula, and their ships can transport more than 100,000 people at most at one time." ”

Olife's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "More than 100,000 people? General, our reinforcements have not yet arrived. ”

"Panic what!?" Dannatt was furious, a little disappointed in Olive, but still said, "Use your brains in case of trouble." Is it time for the Chinese to attack our defenses? The Chinese should now be heavily interspersed with the East Bengal line to form a joint encirclement of the Xiafei Burmese Front. ”

Olife's military level is extremely high, and he immediately came back to his senses, he was really flustered just now, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, general." So what do we do now? ”

Dannatt groaned and said, "Order the troops, immediately transfer three divisions and prepare to attack." ”

Olife was stunned, thinking that he had misheard: "General, let's attack?" ”

Dannat said angrily: "Nonsense. The other side only has half a division, can't we beat it with three divisions? He pointed to the Chinese troops landing in the distance and said viciously, "Although this flood is severe, I believe that a large number of troops will still escape on both flanks, and the Chinese troops are going south to outflank and encircle and annihilate our retreating officers and soldiers." Kill! At least repel them, and we may save tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of friendly troops! ”

"Yes!" Olive's admiration for Dannat from the bottom of his heart at this moment, even in the face of such a big rout, almost everyone was panicked, but Admiral Dannatt was still able to clearly grasp the situation, and actually had the courage to take the initiative to attack, what an extraordinary military quality (to be continued......
