Bailey desperately climbed on a horse, tried to escape from Naqu, and galloped for more than ten miles before he relaxed a little, and came to a high ground to look at Naqu, where the smoke had gradually dissipated, and the explosion was no longer visible, but he knew that the song was over.

He knew that it would be impossible for these rebels in Tibet to resist the attack of the Chinese National Defense Forces, but he never expected such a fall.

The Chinese army actually attacked not from the ground, but from the sky. He knew about parachuting, the Allied countries and the Entente countries in the world war all invested a large number of aircraft in combat, as he participated in the world war, he is no stranger to pilot parachuting. However, as far as he knows, it is a high-risk behavior, and there are many parachute failures, and almost 20-30% of pilots who parachute jump because of parachute failure die that year. He never thought that the Chinese would actually use elite troops to parachute to attack Naqu, and even less would he have thought that the Tibetan rebels were directly frightened by this offensive method, thinking that they were heavenly soldiers and divine soldiers sent by the Buddha's heavenly punishment, and they directly lost even the courage to resist.

"Damn it, foolish fool!" Bailey yelled viciously in the direction of the song, he didn't know how to explain such a failure. At the same time, I was also very shocked by China's new combat method, which can completely carry out special attacks on the enemy's rear and deep and vertical, which is absolutely an abnormal and terrible thing. If, in a large-scale battle, the opposing side attacks the rear command in such a way, the consequences are unimaginable.

With the fall of Nagqu, there is no doubt that the defenders in Ba Qing will be attacked from both sides and will be defeated. Once the Chinese army entered Nagqu. Then if you go to Lhasa, there is hardly any particularly dangerous terrain to rely on.

"No, I have to go and inform Lhasa as soon as possible to get ready." Bailey gritted his teeth and rushed in the direction of Lhasa.

"I didn't expect it to work so well."

In the Nanjing Ministry of National Defense, Wu Di looked at the telegram and smiled proudly. Of course, this airborne operation was proposed by him, a traverser, with a somewhat ostentatious meaning. But he never thought that the Tibetan feudal superstition, coupled with their lack of knowledge, directly thought that this was a "divine soldier from heaven", and he didn't even have the courage to resist. And then the airborne "Tiger Battalion" directly divided two companies of fast horses to approach Ba Qing. and frontal troops flanking the rebels of Ba Qing. Directly beat the rebels.

Li Bufan frowned and said: "We have now exposed airborne operations, and the great powers will definitely imitate them in the future." ”

Wu Di sneered: "Then they have to build a qualified transport plane first." Besides, we now have radar, and I wish they had airlifted hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers to deliver food to our air force. The man fell from a height of several thousand meters. Directly fell into slag. ”

Li Bufan smiled. Of course, I didn't care about Wu Di's words that were not nutritious. Hundreds of thousands of people are transported by air, so how many planes are needed, according to the current aircraft carrying capacity. If you don't talk about 20,000 planes, it's even more impossible. At the moment, he reined in his heart and said: "This method is good. A total of 7 tiger ben were lost in the total airborne operation, three of whom were killed by parachuting because the parachute failed to open, and the rest were injured more than a dozen people, with negligible casualties. ”

Wu Di suddenly said: "What does the boss mean, are you going to do it again?" ”

Li Bufan nodded and said: "The rebels of Naqu will think that this is a 'divine soldier descended from heaven' and dare not resist, then I think the rebels in Lhasa are no different, as long as we act before their rout flees back to Lhasa, the probability of success is very high." ”

Wu Di thought for a while and said: "I don't think the problem is big when you take Lhasa, the rebels in Lhasa are only more than 10,000 people, and when they are in a state of discouragement, they basically have no power to resist, and they can be defeated with one blow." But the question is, there are only a few hundred people in a battalion of Huben, how to control the situation? ”

Li Bufan said in a deep voice: "Defeat Lhasa, open up an airstrip on the spot, and airlift troops to reinforce it. Anyway, at this distance, our H-1 modified transport plane could have flown back and forth without refueling. ”

Wu Dixi said: "The boss is wise, just do it." I'm afraid that if we play like this, we will directly play the British guys crazy. ”

Li Bufan laughed and said: "This is the effect I want." I don't think we can always let the tiger take action, and after a while, we will set up a special airborne force. ”

Wu Di smiled: "Good idea." Still, boss, I have a better idea. ”

"Say." Li Bufan's spirit was shocked, and he really wanted to see what special ideas Wu Di, the traverser, had, such as other future tactics.

Wu Di smiled dryly: "Aren't we connected with anti-colonial revolutionaries in India and other fields? You see if we're going to get them to do some preparations, like building some airstrips in their control area or some secret place. When the time comes, we will directly blossom from behind the foreign devils, or transport weapons and equipment to them. ”

"Good idea, pick a few troops to learn simple Indic."

"Uh, boss, Indian is English"

"Nonsense. Hindi is Hindi, English is English, and English became the official language of India, and that is because India is a British colony, how many people can be educated in India? Civilians still speak Hindi."

“”――

It was nearly 300 kilometers from Naqu to Lhasa, and Bailey drove all the way through Namtso Lake until evening, but he did not dare to stop, and asked the herdsmen to order something to eat, so he continued on his way. Originally, he wanted to find a guide, but the herdsmen were reluctant to cross the Tanggula Pass at night, which is said to anger the gods.

Bailey was helpless about this superstition, so he could only ask for directions and run by himself. It's not that he didn't want to force the herdsmen to lead the way, but at this juncture, he really didn't want to make a fuss.

In order to be in a hurry, he barely crossed the Tanggula Pass before it was completely dark, but he was unable to carry the horse. But I never expected this damn plateau climate, at night, the temperature difference was simply ten or twenty degrees, and the wind was so strong that he almost didn't freeze to death, and it actually snowed.

This snow, I can't tell the way at all. Bailey was cold and hungry, and almost insane.

He knew that if he braved the minus 10 degrees Celsius to go on like this, he might freeze to death before he reached Lhasa. I had to find a shelter from the wind. Find some dry grass, cow dung, etc. to make a fire to keep warm, and he was frightened and afraid of being tired for a day, so he fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, he woke up from freezing, and although the snow in the place he was looking for did not freeze him to death, the whole person was almost stiff from the cold. Fortunately, the horse was still there, and he didn't care much, so he looked in the direction and walked directly south, because he couldn't find the way anymore.

I don't know how long I walked. I finally met a herdsman. After asking for directions, I realized that he had gone a little off, and more than 30 kilometers west was Lhasa.

Bailey didn't think much about it, and immediately mounted his horse and galloped towards Lhasa. One more time. Far away, he could already get to the Potala in Lhasa. For a while, I was full of emotion: "I went through a lot of hardships and finally arrived." God forbid, I didn't die on this damn plateau. ”

But. He vaguely heard a roar in the sky, and his heart groaned, and when he looked up, he didn't see anything, only white clouds in the sky. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart: "Damn, I must have been overhungry and hallucinating." They only attacked Nagqu yesterday, how could they attack Lhasa today?" shook his head, and with a big banner, he was ready to march forward.

However, the roar of the engine grew louder and louder, which made Bailey's heart numb.

Suddenly, he saw more than a dozen silver-gray planes burrowing out of the clouds and swooping down in the direction of Lhasa, and then he saw a violent explosion in the direction of Lhasa, and he could clearly see the skyrocketing fire rising in the distance.

"God, damn it, I'm a step too late." Bailey closed his eyes in pain, but he quickly picked himself up, gritted his teeth and said, "No, there should still be a chance." As he spoke, he galloped in the direction of Lhasa, and while galloping on his horse, he did not forget to look at the sky, and he clearly saw dozens of big-bellied planes drilling out of the sky, and then hundreds of umbrella flowers floated in the sky over Lhasa

When Bailey arrived in Lhasa, gunfire was heard in the city, but he saw countless Tibetans kneeling on the ground praying. This situation made him very irritable, and he finally rushed to the rebel headquarters, only to see that the headquarters was already in disarray, and the gunfire was getting closer and closer.

Bailey did not notice the leader of the rebels, nor did he see the officer corps who came to the rescue, and anxiously grabbed one of the soldiers and shouted: "Where are the people? What about your commanders and the officers of the British Empire? ”

"Report to the sir, I've long since gone. Just now, the heavenly punishment sent down 'hellfire', destroying the barracks, and the troops lost more than half of them. ”

Bailey almost vomited blood: "Damn, in which direction did you run?" ”

"Riverside."

Bailey was extremely speechless, he knew that he could not save this defeat, mainly because the morale of the army had collapsed, and the dragons were leaderless, he was a foreign officer, and he could only speak a few simple words in Tibetan, and he could not command the rebels. Of course, he didn't want to die here, so he could only rush out and ride towards the river.

The river is the Brahmaputra River, and the water of the Taotao River goes to the east, and it is necessary to ferry to cross the river.

Bailey rushed to the river, saw that several boats had already begun to cross the river, and one was about to start crossing, and he had already seen the boats of the rebel leader and the British officer corps, so he hurried to get on board. After crossing the river, he went to Colonel Vic, the head of the officer corps, and shouted on the spot: "Why? Why not resist? ”

Colonel Vic said helplessly: "Bailey, what do we use to resist?" The barracks were bombed and directly lost nearly half, and the rest of the troops thought it was God, oh no, they thought it was their Buddha punishing them, and they didn't even dare to fire their guns. Hell yes. How did you end up here, not in that song? ”

Bailey could only smile bitterly: "We were attacked in the same way, and the song is over." I rushed to inform you overnight, just hoping that you could be prepared, but I didn't expect to be late. ”

Colonel Vic patted Bailey on the shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. Only those idiot politicians in Downing Street would think that this waste can stand up to the Chinese, in fact you see, this is the result. What kind of heavenly punishment, divine punishment, they are betrayers with weak hearts, so they have this thought, they are always afraid in their hearts, this kind of garbage cannot become the climate. ”

Bailey could only smile bitterly, no matter what he thought, he could not change this fact, and he knew that soon tens of thousands of troops of the Chinese National Defense Force would continue to arrive, and it was only a matter of time before Tibet was completely controlled by the Chinese side (to be continued......
