General Alexander, the supreme commander of the Anglo-Indian Army, who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops and attacked northern Burma in five directions, slept very badly last night, and his mind was full of all kinds of judgments and assumptions, so that he could not sleep peacefully.

The fiasco of the Air Force stationed in India weighed heavily on his heart like a mountain, even if he took this opportunity to get rid of that annoying Lieutenant General Bright? The cruel fact cannot be changed: From today onwards, hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the troops stationed in India will be exposed to Tang Qiuli's bombers without air cover.

For this situation, Alexander was worried, the Chinese bombing for two consecutive days has caused great casualties to the troops except for his own Central Route Army, this is not this terrible, terrible is the blow to the morale of the soldiers, the telegrams of the four division commanders, all mentioned the problem of unstable military morale.

And Tang Qiuli's aviation unit suddenly attacked with thunderous means and attacked strongly, and destroyed his air force in the first battle, so what about his ground forces? What are you doing?

General Alexander did not know anything about this qiē, the troops had advanced hundreds of kilometers into northern Burma, passed the middle of the Hukang River Valley, in a sense, it was equivalent to entering the hinterland of the division, but the squadron blocked along the way, except for Xiduo, not once, before this, it can be explained that Tang Qiuli's main force had not yet had time to be transferred to the direction of northern Burma, and the local troops were powerless to block it.

After today's air battle, Alexander suddenly realized that this qiē was a little abnormal, and with the experience and sensitivity of a veteran soldier, he smelled the smell of danger and ominous smell in the air, and the intelligence network of the British Empire in the Indochina Peninsula was destroyed by Tang Qiuli's counterintelligence department, and he could not get any information about the movement of division troops.

Continue to advance towards northern Myanmar and wait for your own. What will it be? Before sending troops, he was full of confidence, but he was defeated a lot by an air battle, and the air combat strength displayed by Tang Qiuli's troops made Alexander frightened. If these forces are used on their own ground forces, what will be the consequences, I am afraid that by the time they reach the Magao area in northern Burma, the loss of troops will not be enough to support the continuation of the war.

Alert and frightened, Jean gave Alexander a more secure approach he had taken last night. The order was given to all the troops to suspend the advance and rest in place, since the specific direction of the next step could not be determined, then wait in place and see Tang Qiuli's next move, with the current position of the troops, it is still too late to turn back.

Although time was very precious for Alexander. Every minute and every second is very precious, if Tang Qiuli's main force did not reach the northern Burma region. If you can't get out of the Hukang River Valley, what awaits you is to retreat in a hurry, return to the East Indies in disgrace, and suffer the cynicism of your colleagues, and you will become the laughing stock of the Indian army.

Weighing the pros and cons, all kinds of ideas and judgments, tangled in Alexander's heart, made him anxious and in a dilemma. It made him even more hesitant, if Tang Qiuli's main force blocked the exit of the Hukang River Valley, then he would be dead hearted, and simply withdraw his troops back to India, it is much better to lose face than to wipe out the whole army or suffer heavy losses.

The crux of the matter. It was Alexander who did not get a little information, did not know anything about the movements of the ruthless, cunning and fierce Chinese Tang Qiuli, and he even had the illusion that Tang Qiuli was somewhere in northern Burma, sneering and waiting for his arrival, sharpened with a knife, ready to slaughter the soldiers of the British Empire.

Such an illusion made Alexander unsettled, and even had the idea of retreating immediately, and in the end, he gave a reason that could convince himself, "If tomorrow, the Chinese bombers will no longer bomb the troops, it will prove that Bright's air force has suffered heavy losses, and Tang Qiuli's air force is also a miserable victory, and it is unable to attack again." ”…,

Before the troops were put into a formal decisive battle, in the forests and valleys of northern Burma, they were bombed by Chinese bombers, and Alexander would never do it, which was the main reason why he ordered his troops to stop advancing, and this situation appeared because Tang Qiuli, who was concerned about the movements of the British and Indian troops at the front command of the Ma Gao Division, was most worried about the situation.

Under the cautious call of the adjutant, Commander Alexander finally got up, shook his head vigorously because of overthinking and lack of sleep, like a mess of paste, along the open tent curtain, the cool morning wind blowing in, did not clear his mind, and under the adjutant's service, he put on his military uniform listlessly.

The adjutant looked at the haggard face of His Excellency the Commander, and asked cautiously, "Your Excellency General, is today's breakfast still according to yesterday's standards?" Alexander smiled bitterly in his heart, "What are you in the mood to eat breakfast, you forgot everything about yesterday's breakfast," and the adjutant withdrew, absent-mindedly.

Alexander yawned and turned on the radio, a good habit he had cultivated for decades, and the first thing he would do when he got up early tomorrow was to listen to the news radio to understand the situation.

"Yangon: Yesterday evening, Lieutenant General Tang Qiusheng, deputy division commander and director of the Yangon Military Control Commission, was entrusted by division commander General Tang Qiuli to drive overnight to Myitkyina City in northern Myanmar to express his condolences to the pilots of the division's Southern Flight Group on behalf of General Tang himself, and to visit the families of the fallen pilots and the wounded pilots, expressing deep sympathy and concern for them.

"According to the latest news from this station, General Tang Qiuli, commander of the division and chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the Indochina Peninsula, said at a meeting with this reporter at the headquarters of the Yangon division last night that the British had brazenly launched a frenzied attack on the border areas of northern Burma, which was an act of naked aggression.

General Tang also said that he would resolutely fight back against the British aggression in disregard of the Allied Treaty and the relationship between the two sides as allies, and that territorial sovereignty would not be violated, and that the general himself would rush to the Burma region in the near future to set up a campaign headquarters and personally command the anti-aggression campaign.

"According to the news from Yangon and Kuala Lumpur, the division's direct corps, the Sulu Mobile Corps, the Niangziguan Garrison Corps, and the 29th Corps have canceled their vacations and entered a state of combat readiness.

"According to the exclusive news from Myitkyina in northern Burma, Major General Le Yiqin, commander of the division's Southern Flying Group, delivered an important speech at the ceremony to commemorate the fallen pilots, and General Le said that the air battle in northern Burma that just passed was the heaviest loss of the Southern Flying Group since its formation, and a total of more than 800 pilots were killed or wounded in the battle with the British Air Force stationed in India."

"General Le said that this blood debt will be recorded on the head of the aggressor, the sacrificial pilots, are the heroes of the air force, their heroic combat behavior, smashed the British Air Force air raid on the northern Burmese city of Magao, protected the lives and property safety of the citizens there, and in other airspace, inflicted heavy damage on the invading enemy aircraft, their sacrifice is valuable."

"General Le also said that the division's southern flight group is a particularly combat-effective unit, and it will not be slumped and lose its fighting spirit because of this loss, and the blood of the fallen soldiers will not be shed in vain, and he has already made a request to the division commander, General Tang Qiuli, to replenish 600 to 700 fighters and bombers as much as possible, and once the replenishment is completed, the sky in northern Burma will be the grave of the British Air Force stationed in India, and the general himself will personally fly fighter planes to participate in every air battle to avenge the death of his comrades-in-arms!" …,

The news broadcast on the radio deeply attracted Alexander, so that he forgot about it, and he couldn't wait to get into it and listen, in these news, Alexander got the information he wanted, and it was the information he dreamed of, which made him feel that the situation in Indochina was cleared and suddenly enlightened.

He came to two conclusions, one is that Tang Qiuli is still in Yangon, and is actively mobilizing troops to form a field corps against himself, and his main force has not yet gone north to northern Burma, and the transfer of hundreds of thousands of troops can be an easy thing, no wonder that in the process of advancing in the Hukang River Valley, he only encountered a stubborn resistance in Xiduo, and it turned out that Tang Qiuli's local troops were no longer able to stop themselves.

Second, the divisional air force Leyiqin suffered heavy losses in the battle with Lieutenant General Bright's air force, and was unable to launch a large-scale air attack on its own troops, and more than 800 pilots were killed or wounded.

Tang Qiuli's main corps, mobilized to northern Burma and formed an attack posture against his own troops, could not be done without a week, and Le Yiqin's aviation unit, after replenishing the planes and pilots, to form combat effectiveness, could not be done in half a year.

This is the opportunity that God gave Chuangzào to come out, Bright's guy, with all the belongings of the air force stationed in India, severely damaged Tang Qiuli's air force, removed the factor that posed the greatest threat to himself, and finally did a meaningful thing, time, there is a week, and his hundreds of thousands of troops can completely gain a foothold in northern Myanmar.

Alexander, who was ecstatic, turned around sharply, and with a "bang", something fell to the ground?
