"I'm sorry, General! I can't agree with you! Brigadier General French shook his head, and then continued: "We have reason to believe that the Western Sichuan Army on the opposite side has come to reinforce troops. As for the number, this is not clear. However, the army of the Western Sichuan Army on the plateau only had two brigades and more than 17,000 people. If they had sent troops from other sources, they would have run out of time. Therefore, this is our last chance to defeat the Western Sichuan Army. If we wait for the western Sichuan to mobilize reinforcements from other places, then unless we send more troops from the British mainland, all our plans will be in vain! ”

Henry? Wellesley was silent, this was what he feared most. Whether he can win this time is not only related to his personal future, but also to the glory of his family. Therefore, he must find a way to win. Otherwise, his military career would be over, and at the same time, he would be disgraced to his family. Is this Henry? Something Wellesley absolutely didn't want to do.

"Brigadier General French, then. Why don't we wait for our reinforcements to arrive before executing your battle plan? When the time comes, I can even give you more troops! "Henry? Wellesley said.

"No, General! The road conditions here are so bad that they simply can't allow a large army to march. A brigade of troops, already the limit. And, in order to increase the speed, we will carry only a small number of small-caliber guns. To ensure the suddenness of the assault! When the time comes, the Western Sichuan Army will definitely not think that we will attack from their rear. Their defense line is also oriented towards the front. As long as the general can cooperate in time after my men launch an attack, I am sure that I will defeat the western Sichuan army in one fell swoop. When the time comes, we may be able to drive straight into the plateau and occupy the beautiful Lhasa! Brigadier General French said.

"Beautiful Lhasa, I heard my grandfather talk about its beauty when I was a child. Such a beautiful place is simply not something that those yellow-skinned monkeys can occupy. Only our noble Englishmen are entitled to have her! "Henry? Wellesley said.

"Your Excellency, General. I completely agree with you. This magical land, those Chinese are not qualified to own, they can only belong to us British! So. Do you agree with my battle plan? French asked.

"Well, Brigadier General French, I agree with your battle plan. Your men will be ready to go early tomorrow morning, and I look forward to your detour back to the back of those yellow-skinned monkeys. Attack them. I couldn't wait to see how panicked they were. Brigadier General French, if you can win, I guarantee you will be the youngest major general in the British Army! "Henry? Wellesley said. With the strength of their family, and such merit, Brigadier French should be promoted to the next level. Becoming a major general, that is not a difficult thing.

"Thank you, General! I promise that I, and my troops, will do our best to win! Brigadier General French said excitedly. He spoke out to his civilian family, and he was able to go step by step to today, at the age of forty, to become the commander of an infantry brigade with the rank of brigadier general, which is already a very good achievement. If you can become a major general. Become a real general. He was undoubtedly able to become the youngest major general in the British Army now. The future is limitless. Got Henry? After Wellesley's assurance, French would pledge to do his best to complete this military operation and achieve victory for Britain.

The next morning, French set out with more than 5,000 men of the 2nd Infantry Brigade, who were to cross the high mountain on the right and then go up the river. At Sisny again crossed the mountains and appeared in the rear of the Western Sichuan Army. Launch a surprise attack on them. When the time comes, Henry? Wellesley will also attack from the front. Under the attack from both sides. French was very sure that he would be able to defeat the Western Sichuan Army in one fell swoop. At that time, the Anglo-Indian army will be able to drive straight into the plateau and occupy the plateau, even Lhasa. After all, in the intelligence they had, the troops of the Western Sichuan Army stationed on the plateau all the year round were only two brigades, and once these two brigades were defeated, the Western Sichuan Army would no longer be able to pose a threat to them for a long time. When the time comes, it will be the diplomats of the British Empire who will step up. When the army won on the battlefield, diplomats were able to use the victory, combined with the influence of the British Empire, to force their opponents to sign treaties that would guarantee British interests.

At the same time, the Ninth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army also set off under the guidance of the guide, and in order to maintain continuity, Wang Yuze specially sent signal soldiers with two wireless telegraph planes to follow them. In order to be able to grasp the movement of troops in real time. However, no one expected that the Western Sichuan Army and the Anglo-Indian Army both sent troops, hoping to return to the other party's back, and they both coincidentally chose the same route of march. The end result is that they will meet at some point in the river valley. It can be met, and then a fierce battle will break out. As for who will be able to win, it is up to the goddess of victory to be on that side.

"Chief of Staff, how's the war on the border going now?" Wang Xiao asked. Since Wang Yuze arrived at the front line, he would ask about relevant news almost every day. Today, Xiong Wu also reported on the change of equipment and defense of the troops, and after talking about the main matter, Wang Xiao still asked about the situation on the battlefield.

"Dashuai, Yu Ze has sent back a telegram yesterday. Now that the Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Brigades have all arrived in Marat, Yu Ze is ready to launch a counterattack. Now the troops should have already started the operation. Because the British and Indian troops also sent 50,000 reinforcements, Yu Ze planned to eat the troops in front of the other side before the other side's reinforcements arrived, and re-advance the battle line to the border line! Xiong Wu said.

"The British sent reinforcements again? Yu Ze only has three brigades in his hands, is it enough? Wang Xiao's brows furrowed.

"If nothing else, it should be enough. Although the British and Indian troops had a large number of troops, the British ** team plus reinforcements only had three brigades, less than 20,000 people. The rest are the indigenous Indian army, which is outnumbered, but the real role they can play on the battlefield is very limited! Xiong Wu said.

"That's going to be good! However, in order to do a good job in supporting Yu Ze, the logistics must meet the consumption of the battlefield as much as possible! Wang Xiao said.

"Yes, handsome! The Logistics Department has sent quite a number of baggage troops into the plateau to replenish the army. At the same time, the Tibetan people on the plateau also spontaneously transported food and ammunition for the front line. Although the road conditions are bad, there is no problem in ensuring the consumption of the front! Xiong Wu replied.

"Hmmm! After the war is over, it is time for western Sichuan to invest a lot of money in building a strategic highway to the border. In this case, if this happens again, it will be easier for us to deal with it! Wang Xiao said.

Xiong Wu nodded, he was very supportive of the construction of a strategic road to the border. However, the cabinet rejected the establishment of the General Staff Headquarters on the grounds that it had spent too much money and could not make any profits. However, if Wang Xiao opened his mouth, there should be no problem with this qiē. The construction of strategic highways is not only conducive to defense. And if Kawanishi has any intentions against India, it can also send troops quickly.

The soldiers of the Ninth Brigade of the Western Sichuan Army are mainly composed of the Baba people living in the plateau area and the Han and Yi people living in the mountainous areas of western Sichuan. Their ability to trek through mountains and rivers is naturally stronger than that of other troops. It is naturally more advantageous to fight in these mountains in the southern foothills of the Himalayas than other armies.

Du Qizheng, the commander of the Ninth Brigade, knew the importance of this mission, so after the troops set off, he personally led the first battalion of the Ninth Brigade to open the way for the whole brigade in front. Strive to be able to complete the detour on time and block the rear road of the British and Indian troops. He remembered that Wang Yuze said that the commander of the Anglo-Indian army this time seemed to be a duke, and he seemed to be quite famous in Britain. What a credit it would have been if the duke had been captured alive! For this reason, his troops must also speed up their march and resolutely complete the task!

"Brothers, move quickly, if it's too late, the British will be beaten away, and we won't even be able to close the soup!" Du Qizheng urged.

The soldiers of the Ninth Brigade, after hearing the urging of the brigade commander, couldn't help but speed up their pace. Although beads of sweat had already appeared on their foreheads because of the high-speed rush, everyone still walked forward desperately.

At 0:00 a.m., the vanguard of the 9th Brigade had already arrived at Sisny and began to climb the mountain. The trail was very steep and difficult to walk, and it was not until two hours later that they managed to climb the mountain and enter the valley.

Then, after resting for half an hour, they headed south along the river valley. At this rate, they will be able to reach Volt Hill by noon tomorrow, and there will be no delay in counterattacking.

However, at two o'clock in the afternoon, an accident occurred.

"Brigade commander, front, front spotted the British!" A soldier from a squad of spearheads who was in charge of clearing the way ahead came back and reported.

"What? Briton? How did they end up here? You can't be wrong, right? Du Qizheng was shocked.

"Brigadier Commander, we are absolutely not wrong. We found them resting, the Englishmen, white like ghosts, tall, very recognizable! The soldier of the Elite squad said.

"Grandma, these Englishmen are trying to sneak up on us! Command the troops, prepare for battle. Tell the deputy brigade commander and chief of staff behind them, let them speed up and prepare for a big fight with the British. First battalion, follow me. Lao Tzu wants to hit the British by surprise! Du Qizheng immediately issued a combat order.

PS: The first update has arrived! The collection is great, and the order is also great! Depressed!! ……)
