220. Battle of East Bengal 9

"I've decided to fight an East Bengal battle with the Western coalition forces."

In the headquarters, Li Bufan said this, which stunned Li Songshan and Zhang Xiaozhun.

Zhang Xiaozhun immediately said anxiously: "Commander-in-chief, I don't think it's a good time now, our troops and heavy weapons are relatively scarce, and we can't transport them." Otherwise, with the current overall superiority of our army, we will have no problem completely annihilating the enemy. ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "A living person can still suffocate urine." It is true that we in Assam have no way to send troops to the front line on a large scale, but that does not mean that it cannot be used elsewhere. ”

Li Songshan said thoughtfully: "Myanmar? What does the commander-in-chief mean, is it by sea? ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "That's right. ”

Zhang Xiaozhun suddenly said: "Yes, this is indeed a good way." Although there are enemy submarines in this area, our anti-submarine forces have been fully demonstrated in the South Sea, and although it may not be easy to completely eliminate the enemy's submarines, it can completely guarantee the safety of sea transportation. The US-led Combined Fleet has not yet arrived so soon, and we have had time to transport troops. It doesn't matter if it's discovered, isn't it possible that the enemy won't save us if he finds out that we are increasing troops by sea? ”

Li Bufan sneered and said, "Found? We will transfer Adjutant Li Hengshan to participate in the anti-submarine campaign, and we must ensure the secrecy of the increase in troops by sea, and the 30-kilometer radius of Chittagong will be under full martial law. Only secrecy could attract the British and Indian forces as much as possible, and then gather and annihilate them. Otherwise, what's the point of us just annihilating some cannon fodder? ”

Every high-level official knows very well that China is fighting southward this time. Annihilate the white Western army as much as possible, so as to achieve the goal of inflicting heavy damage on the Western world, so as to force the Western world to end the war and recognize the rise of China. Once this goal is achieved, with China's single-handedly rivaling the entire Western world, any country will have to recognize China as the world's number one power.

The main reason is that China's rise is too short, it lacks talent, and its industrial capacity is insufficient, and it is almost impossible to completely defeat the West at once, and there is a behemoth in the north eyeing it. Although a non-aggression pact was signed with Soviet Russia. But the northern polar bear did no less treacherous thing. Li Bufan really didn't dare to risk losing both sides and fighting with the West, lest he be made a fisherman.

Zhang Xiaozhun didn't know about the existence of the base car, but he knew that Adjutant Li Hengshan went to the Nanyang area to anti-submarine and sank more than 100 submarines in the West in a short time. Let the Western submarines be like frightened birds. Up to now. Western submarines should not sink more than 200. The waters around the South China Sea have almost become off-limits for submarines.

Li Songshan pondered for a while and said: "It's just that if the Xiafei Burmese Army does not attack our defense line from the east or approach our defense line, Dannat is afraid that it will not attack easily, and their main naval force will not approach easily." If we are going to lure and annihilate the main forces of the British army in India. Then Xia Fei's troops must be released. ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "Don't worry. The troops are short of food, and the Xiafei headquarters will definitely reduce the rations of the officers and men of the troops, and I think they will have no problem supporting them for more than ten days, and the longer the time drags on, the more beneficial it will be for us. We want to give them hope, but time is limited, so we have to go all out when attacking, so that we can really bring out the main force of the British army. ”

Li Bufan knew the shamelessness of Britain, and it was also the same in East Asia when it was engaged in a balanced strategy in Europe, and the First Sino-Japanese War was also a product of its strategic balance in East Asia.

But at present, this war, Britain is absolutely unavoidable. Xia Fei's Burmese Legion, which is nearly a million troops, is a multinational force, and the British are not able to rescue them with all their might, let alone give an account to the Western world. The consequences are very serious, even if many countries still continue the war, but they will definitely shorten the supply line and set up the defense line in the Middle East, which is blocked by desert hazards, then Britain will be unable to support itself in the Indian battlefield, what will it use to stop China's millions of troops? I'm afraid that if a battle is fought, the British men will die and become extinct.

The British had to go all out to the rescue because they needed troops from other Western countries to help them keep India. Once India falls into the hands of China, the consequences will be extremely serious, Chinese submarines can blockade the Red Sea, at least half of the interests of the entire Indian Ocean will be surrendered, and once in this situation, Australia will also fall into the point of isolation, and it is very likely to follow in its footsteps. Almost all of these places were British possessions, and Britain could never afford such consequences.

The British don't know what Li Bufan thinks, even if Li Bufan clearly says that he doesn't want to occupy India now, I'm afraid that the British will definitely not believe it.

Li Bufan did not want to occupy India so soon, naturally there was the factor of disaster victims, and at the same time, it was also in view of China's national strength, China's comprehensive national strength at this time was much weaker than that of the West, and if the supply line was lengthened to fight, the consequences would be worrying. For this reason, China must shorten the supply line as much as possible, keep the enemy on a relatively long supply line, and at the same time ensure the security of the mainland as much as possible.

Li Songshan and Zhang Xiaozhun said at the same time: "The commander-in-chief is wise. ”

Li Bufan smiled: "Don't come to this set." Hurry up and sum it up with this idea, how to trap these Western barbarians. ”

"Hey, hey" -

On the retreat road of the Xiafei Burmese Army, all the officers and soldiers were desperately hurrying.

Everyone already knows that since the Chinese have dug such a big pit for them, they want to bury them, and they will definitely not let them go easily, and the bombing of the Chinese Air Force along the way is already very revealing. For this reason, they are now running for their lives, and there is no need for the officers to urge them at all, and almost everyone uses the strength to eat milk and run away.

They didn't know that there were several pairs of eyes in the darkness watching them with a cold glow.

Suddenly, an officer in the darkness waved his hand, and the soldier pressed the detonator that had been prepared.

The "boom" stretched for a kilometer of highway exploded almost simultaneously, and the long blasting fire was particularly conspicuous in the dark night, and it was even more thrilling, and countless coalition officers and soldiers were flying flesh and blood, and after the explosion, countless wounded were wailing all over the field, and countless soldiers were shooting frantically to the west.

In the darkness, there were not many deadly bullets fired between the trees on both sides, and the tongues of fire were faintly visible.

Soon, however, some of the officers of the coalition forces shouted at the soldiers to attack the woods, and some of the more calm veterans quickly rushed into the woods under the command of the officers, but they did not know that they rushed into the woods and broke several lines, and a series of grenades hanging from the trees exploded, forming a rain of bullets in the steel forest, and the officers and men who rushed in were either killed or wounded.

They did not know that the officers and men of the Chinese Airborne Regiment had already retreated quickly after the first wave of attacks, and the reason why they opened fire was only to let the coalition forces know that they existed, so that the coalition forces would not dare to act rashly, and at the same time, it would be easier for them to evacuate.

Since China's main bombers and transport aircraft are used to deliver supplies to the East Bengal defense line, the ability to airdrop is limited, so in fact, there are not many bombs buried in this kilometer of explosion traps. Not many people were killed in the explosion, but countless people were injured.

Xia Fei and General Paul of the American Army both had extremely ugly faces, and in this team, there were the largest number of French and American troops, and they could clearly feel the uneasiness and fear of the officers and staff officers of the command.

Paul said incredulously: "Damn, how can there be an army of Chinese here." Indeed, although the Chinese army quickly penetrated the front line in Bangladesh, the "co-work plan" of the Assam Chinese side disrupted ground transportation, and it was impossible for the Chinese side to have cars on the front line, and even if they did, it would not be enough to transport troops to block the attack.

Xia Fei said bitterly: "Airborne troops, this is China's airborne troops. At the beginning, the Chinese used airborne troops to raid the rear of the Tibetan rebels, and even the headquarters, so as to quickly sweep away the civil strife in Tibet, so fast that even the British could not react. ”

Paul frowned and said, "It's the airborne force composed of the guards directly under the Chinese military leader Li Bufan?" But they only had one battalion. It is impossible for Li Bufan to send such a only elite army here to die, we have more than 700,000 troops here. ”

Xia Fei shook his head and said, "The army can be expanded, and it doesn't necessarily mean that it will be sent to death." I think their purpose is simply to delay our retreat and buy time for their main forces to close in. ”

Paul nervously said, "What then?" If we sabotage along the way like theirs, we can imagine the speed of our march. Moreover, the defense line of the Dongge Pass in the Rakhine Mountains was hit by the Chinese super artillery group, and has now retreated to the last line of defense, and they will not hold out for long. ”

Xia Fei glanced at Paul with disdain and said, "Immediately send troops to attack the establishment of the interior." ”

Paul said hesitantly: "General Xia Fei, the Chinese have planted suspended bombs in the woods, and the troops attacking in front have already suffered many casualties. ”

Xia Fei said lightly: "If there are immortals in the war, which army will go?" He looked at Paul, but he saw Paul's dodge, and as far as he could see, the liaison officers of the various countries in this temporary command were dodging, disdainful and disappointed. I had to laugh at myself, "Since there is no one to go, then leave it to our French army." In fact, he judged in his heart that China's ambush officers and soldiers had withdrawn, after all, no matter which commander was at a critical point of life and death, it was impossible to use the precious airborne troops and ordinary army fire.

Sure enough, the French troops soon took control of the woods on both sides of the road, and although there were still some mines and some losses, they did not engage the Chinese troops head-on.

But Xia Fei knew the news, but he was even more desperate. Because if the Chinese are not fully prepared, they will definitely resolutely resist and buy time. But the Chinese did not buy this time, which shows that the Chinese are very convinced that the front can stop them.

Xia Fei looked at the road to the west, where it was dark and the future was unknown (to be continued......
