The Chinese planes raged for half an hour before leaving.

At this time, the British coalition garrison was unrecognizable, and there was no trace of its original appearance.

Without the command of their commanders, the soldiers began to clean up the corpses of their comrades, or put out the flames burning around them.

During this half hour, everyone's ears were filled with the whistling of airplanes, the strafing of machine guns, and the explosion of aerial bombs.

Half an hour had passed, and the voice seemed to have not completely disappeared from their ears, and it was always echoing in their minds. At the same time, pictures of death flashed one after another.

After the plane left, Haig and Gammelin hurriedly summoned several senior officers for an emergency meeting.

Although Haig has no way of knowing the exact situation of the airport now, he can imagine that the situation must be very bad. Now he didn't count on planes either, two air defense regiments did nothing, and three times five divided by two were wiped out. Haig is now unable to take the initiative to attack, but Haig is also glad that if he hadn't hidden the artillery well, he might not even have the strength to defend.

The conference room only explained that he would go back to appease the soldiers next, but did not explain the next military action. Whether it was offense or defense was not mentioned.

When everyone had left, Haig stopped Ganmalin.

"Everything in the war situation is too much for us to expect, although I am very reluctant to admit it, but the military strength of the Chinese side is too strong. This is no longer deniable, perhaps this war was a mistake from the beginning, we underestimated our opponents and looked down on ourselves. In Haig's mind, in the entire coalition army, only Gammelin was qualified to listen to him say these words.

"For the first time today, I learned that our opponent is much stronger than Germany. Or rather, it's not on the same level as us at all. However, no matter how powerful they are, they have weaknesses, and as long as we find their weaknesses, we may be able to redeem the current disadvantages. When Ganmalin heard Haig's words, he was also a little emotional. But it's impossible to tell him to give up.

"Yes, we're not here yet. We still have a chance, and since I have lost air superiority, it is not suitable to take the initiative to attack. However, we can use the cover of the jungle to defend against each other. Then carry out our decapitation plan, which is our only chance to win. Haig said.

"Because we can't take the initiative to hold back the Chinese army, this plan is very dangerous and the success rate is not high. But this is the only way at the moment, and I can only try my best. I hope that your Gorkha Mountain Brigade will be able to perform miraculous feats again. "Gummelin Road.

"If it fails, there is no other way but an all-out war with China. Perhaps we can take advantage of the fact that China has just completed reunification and achieve victory, and perhaps we will also get great benefits, but our two countries have won and are basically half-crippled. Moreover, it has only been ten years since the end of the First World War, and the people will not agree to us fighting a war thousands of miles away. Haig said helplessly.

"China has too many people, and it's not the China of more than 20 years ago. Those short-sighted politicians, for the sake of that damn face, fight such a war, don't they know that if the war is lost, it is very likely that they will lose the entire colony in Southeast Asia. I don't want to think about it, people even dare to sell 5w tons of battleships, will they have no strength? Perhaps it was the scene of the bombing just now that made Gan Molin too depressed, and when he heard Haig's words, he suddenly burst out: "They don't want to think about it, Japan is defeated, and they are fighting on their own territory and occupy various advantages." It's all a bunch of wishful thinking. ”

"Ahem! I don't understand politicians, and we don't need to discuss that. Maybe when we are all defeated, both sides will return to the negotiating table. Haig stopped the conversation, and he was not angry, but it was not appropriate to say it now.

"Alright! I really hope that I will tell you that the two sides will come to the negotiating table. But if I were China's decision-maker, I wouldn't let it go. It is safe to take Hong Kong back, but I will also take Southeast Asia. If we fail, it means that there will be no resistance at all. In just a few days, the whole of Southeast Asia will become their colony. And our army is still thousands of miles away on our homeland. "Gammelin was very unhappy with the French decision, but as a soldier, he had no choice.

Gammelin's words made Haig also a little worried, or maybe Haig had always had this concern before, but it was only amplified by Gammelin's words. But he knew that now was not the time to talk about this, and it was not their turn to take care of this kind of thing, they just had to fight this battle.

It's easy to talk when the battle is not clear, but once the battle is clear, people will always have some ideas that they didn't dare to say before.

After the bombing in the morning, the Chinese Air Force did not strike again. This gave the Anglo-French troops a respite, and under the command of the officers, all the fires were extinguished and the bodies were all disposed of. With Haig's order, two divisions of Indian soldiers, led by Gan Malin, began to reinforce the front line, and opened a five-kilometer horizontal line to search directly to the forward defense camp. Nearly a thousand patrols kept patrolling the surroundings, and the atmosphere of the entire British and French garrison reached its peak at once.

Haig This is also for the greatest safety, he doesn't know if there are any spies of the Chinese army around the station, but he can only do his best to check, if this can't find anything, then Haig has no choice, can only be regarded as safe around.

There was only a high hill around the Anglo-French garrison, and the whole hill was surrounded by dense forests, and the trees were so tall and full of branches that no sunlight reached the ground in all seasons, and was blocked by leaves. At this time, on this mountain, on the tops of several large trees, there were three green net pockets, and three scouts were hiding on them, and their bodies were all covered with green, which combined well with the surrounding colors. They had been on it for three days, keeping an eye on the Anglo-French garrison in the distance.

One of the scouts gently brushed aside the corner of the leaves, and saw another patrol walking by. After the patrol team walked away, he said to the team leader who led the team around him: "What kind of wind is this from Britain and France, four patrols have passed in just ten minutes, is the other party starting to make any big moves?" ”

"Just care about those, just keep an eye on the short guys on them, and someone else will take care of the rest, and we can do our job well." The team leader replied softly.

"Alas! You say, are those short guys that powerful? I can deal with a few like this, and I don't have a single hair left when the time comes, I really want to meet them. ”

"I don't know, I've heard that they're very good at jungle warfare. But I can tell you one thing, their opponents are not our regular troops, so put away that useless mind. It's better to train well, improve your own strength, and wait for the next time the Tigers are recruited, you can be included, this is the most important thing, not only for you personally, but also for our entire team. The team leader replied unceremoniously.

Hearing the words of the team leader, the observer who had just spoken was very excited, and it was only a little bit last year. He had already reached the last hurdle, but he was eliminated because a tactical move was not in place, and after ten months of hard training, he was very confident that he would be able to enter this year.

"I will definitely enter the Tigers this year and will not disappoint my comrades."

Below there was another patrol, and the trees were silent. At noon, the already dense patrols began to increase again. The three people hiding in the tree remained motionless, for fear of exposing themselves. As the saying goes, there are good things for those who wait, and this phrase applies exactly to the three of them.

There was a group of soldiers in the British and French garrisons, numbering about four or five thousand, and they were all very short, at most one meter and six years tall. The appearance of these people caught their attention. When they left the camp and ran into the jungle, the route was under the tree where the three of them were staying.

Wait until everyone walks over.

The observer said: "The target is dispatched, and it can be determined that it is the dwarf of the Gurkha Mountain Brigade, each with a dog-legged knife pinned to his waist. ”

"Inform the next observation point, and report to command that the rabbit is out of the nest." The team leader said to the communicator next to him.

――――――――――――――

Huang Bai was holding a meeting with Fang Jiwei and several other officers at the level of division commander, and at the beginning of the meeting, he received a report from the observation group. Huang Bai did not make his own decisions, but again sent a telegram to the General Staff of Operations, saying that the Gurkha Mountain Brigade was not the target of the Janissaries, but the main force of the Anglo-French forces.

"The Anglo-French forces are still motionless, and the bombing of the air force this morning has made them more cautious. According to intelligence, two more divisions of Indian soldiers have reinforced their forward forces this morning, so that we have five divisions of troops directly ahead, numbering at least 80,000 men. Moreover, the opponent's heavy artillery has not been shot, and we must also pay attention to this, so as not to suffer losses in this regard at that time. Huang Bai was the first to speak.

The Praetorian Guards did not choose to attack immediately, the battle was not very easy to fight, and the opponent had been hiding in the jungle, which brought a lot of trouble to the attack.

"The enemy's heavy artillery is okay to say, as long as we have air superiority, no matter how much heavy artillery the other side has, it is useless. My fear is that the other side is engaged in guerrilla tactics with us and asks for more troops in the country, which will keep the war going on and on and on in the end. ”

"Yes, this war must end as soon as possible, and the other side must not see any hope that it can continue."

"Except for the use of incendiary bombs to force the opponent out, our tanks cannot advance in the jungle, and only some small armored vehicles can exert their combat effectiveness in the jungle. All this will reduce our original advantage, and the victory of this war depends on the quality of the soldiers. Tell the soldiers that war can start at any time. After the meeting, Huang Bai concluded.
