The ambush at Meiskailing lasted two hours and more than ten minutes, and ended victoriously, with more than 140,000 British and Indian troops annihilated and captured, and the main force of the British army stationed in India was completely lost after this battle. ()

The brigades of the Corps directly under the Independent Division that participated in the Meisi Kailing ambush lost no more than 1,000 people, and most of them accidentally burned and injured themselves when cleaning up the battlefield, which belonged to non-combat attrition.

If the Meisi Kailing ambush was carried out in a conventional way of fighting, the hundreds of thousands of British and Indian troops who were still trapped in the beast would not be able to completely solve it without being entangled for a few days, and the casualties of the directly subordinate corps would also increase dozens of times.

At this moment, looking at the logistics department of the directly subordinate corps, several telegrams urging ammunition, Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, director of the division logistics department and commander of the joint logistics command in Kunming, couldn't help but scold his mother.

"These losers, I don't know how much ammunition I feel sorry for, how many hours of fighting in two hours, I actually fired hundreds of thousands of shells, tens of thousands of rockets, losers, that large-caliber rocket, enough for me, a lieutenant general, a few months' allowance, is money! They don't feel distressed, I feel distressed! "Of course, scolding and scolding, things still have to be done.

Behind the telegram, the name of the division commander Tang Qiuli, and the officers of the Joint Logistics Department were also accustomed to the old man's nagging, and that time he signed to deliver ammunition and materials from the warehouse of the Joint Logistics Department, the old man was not a pain in his face, as if he was selling blood, so on the transportation line from Kunming to Myitkyina, tens of thousands of trucks began to rush around again.

Tang Qiuli didn't have to worry about these at all. What he was worried about was that after capturing so many British and Indian prisoners of war, they were all wounded, how to settle them? Just like a Japanese soldier. A bullet solves the problem, so it is worry-free, but these captured British and Indian soldiers, especially British soldiers, are bargaining chips with the British, and they have great use value.

But tens of thousands of wounded, just the consumption of medicine. It was a number that made Tang Qiu feel painful, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, seeing the division commander's troubles, thought for a while and said: "Division commander, on the issue of the placement of prisoners of war, leave it to our staff office, just right, part of the personnel of the division headquarters." To return to Magao, I asked Chief of Staff Ge Zhenzhuang to lead the team to deal with the issue of prisoners of war. Don't worry about it! ”

Tang Qiuli said in a straight voice: "Very good, but Yuhe, you have to clearly explain to Ge Zhenzhuang, the treatment of British and Indian prisoners of war, all the expenses, there must be a detailed account, this money, we don't pay, it will eventually fall on the heads of the British!" In addition to the cost of medicines, you also have to add nursing expenses, labor costs, food costs, hospital bed expenses, and so on. Don't be sloppy! ”

Zhao Yuhe was stunned for a moment, how does the division commander's face look like a profiteer now, he hurriedly blinked his eyes vigorously, and looked at it again, it still felt like that. He shook his head, remembering the purpose of his visit to the teacher.

Zhao Yuhe said: "The division commander and the brigade commanders have called to ask, when the division commander will give the order to pursue, all the prisoners of war have been sent to Magao overnight, and the troops are ready to go, just waiting for the order!" ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head with a smile and said: "Don't worry, give Alexander a few hours to gather the troops, otherwise, tomorrow Le Yiqin them, it will be a waste of hands and feet, after the battle of the troops, the soldiers are tired, order the troops, rest in place for five hours, eat and drink enough, sleep well, at two o'clock in the morning, with Xiao Jinshan's Ninth Brigade and Fang Yuanshan's Tenth Brigade as the lead, pursue along the direction of the Hukang River Valley!" ”…,

At three o'clock in the morning of April 29, the unique morning fog in the Hukang River valley area covered the earth in a dreamlike manner, pulling continuously, not chaotic, mountain cliffs, jungles, roads, are hidden in this fog that even the sky and the earth, only the torrent of the Hukang River, with a slight whistle from the fog, people still have a real feeling.

It was the darkest hour before dawn, and the morning fog aggravated the night, only occasionally the fog was blown away by the morning wind, revealing a few twinkling morning stars in the sky, and then, the fog closed, and the heaven and the earth fell into a white chaos.

On the highway leading to Xinduo, more than 80,000 British and Indian soldiers hurried silently, and all the vehicles turned on their headlights, trying to look at the road with visibility of only ten meters as carefully as possible, which was also illuminated by the soldiers on foot, but in the eyes of the soldiers who were blank and tired from the spirit, the faint light like a ghostly fire seemed to be possible to be blown out by the wind at any time, which made them even more afraid.

Witnessing the daytime, the squadron's devastating artillery fire, all the soldiers, the joy of the rest of their lives, was replaced by the fear in the depths of their hearts, and the whole team, permeated with an atmosphere of frustration and defeat, like mold, eroded the hearts of every soldier from the commander to the soldiers, and only wanted to escape from that terrible place as far away as possible.

Lieutenant General Adams, the chief of staff, looked at the puppet-like soldiers with a worried face, and sighed deeply, he knew very well that the situation of the troops was so bad that the wind was loud and the grass and trees were all soldiers, not to mention that there was no strength in a battle, even a few sudden gunshots could make the troops disperse.

The dignified chief of staff of the lieutenant general of the army stationed in India, when arranging the rearguard troops, could not command a brigadier brigade commander, and there was no such force, who was willing to serve as a cover for the retreat? p>

What made Chief of Staff Adams the most chilling was the faces of his compatriots, the ugliness of the officers who were usually arrogant, and the appearance of those high-ranking generals, who had completely lost the pride and self-confidence of the generals of the British Empire, and finally, Chief of Staff Adams had to forcibly order Lambgar to garrison the Third Brigade as the rear guard of the retreating troops, a brigade with an overwhelming majority of Indian soldiers.

The brigade commander is vacant, and for the time being, the deputy brigade commander is under the command of an Indian brigadier general officer, and the Indian brigadier general does not dare to disobey the order of the chief of staff, and the British officer can shirk his responsibility with a dead face and play a slippery head not to send him to death, but he does not dare, and he is said to be the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Adams, that is, a British junior major, who can also take off him, the brigadier general, as a meal guy, on the grounds of enforcing battlefield discipline.

The brigadier general's face was ugly and he did not say a word, and of course, the chief of staff of Adams did not treat him badly, and announced on the spot that he was officially appointed as the commander of the third brigade of the Lambga garrison, with full authority to command the troops.

The newly appointed brigade commander, without the slightest joy after being promoted, was sealed on the spot, just to be a cannon fodder himself, a comfort, whether he can come back again, only God knows, he hung his head and took the soldiers he knew were going to die, turned around and walked back, but no matter how you look at it, there is no generous and tragic atmosphere, but like a group of death row prisoners who were put on the execution ground.

What made Chief of Staff Adams feel a little relieved was that the rearguard troops had not yet received reports of exchanges of fire with Tang Qiuli's troops, that is, the terrible Chinese troops had not yet caught up, and the panicked British Imperial Corps was safe for the time being.

But looking at Commander Alexander on the side, Adams's mood was extremely bad, since the retreat from Meth Kailing, Commander Alexander, except for being furious and grabbing his neck once, has never said a word, has not given an order, no way, Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Adams, can only bravely play the role of commander, but he knows that at this moment, how heavy is this burden? …,

The other officers, seeing Commander Alexander, could still remain calm in such a big defeat, and secretly admired in their hearts, they deserved to have the demeanor of a general, if this matter had fallen on them, I am afraid that they would have collapsed long ago, right? His silence was seen as a review of the ambush at Meth Kailing.

Only Chief of Staff Adams knows in his heart that His Excellency the Commander is probably on the verge of collapse, his eyes are dazed and sloppy, and his mouth is muttering, which seems to be contemplative, and when he occasionally glances at you, you will find that His Excellency General's gaze is empty and disorderly, in order to prevent Commander Alexander from injuring people or committing suicide, Adams arranged four strong guards to stay by the commander's side for a moment.

Suddenly, Alexander stood up from the slow-moving military jeep, nervously waved his hands, and shouted: "I understand, I understand everything, stop and scoop the map!" ”

Adams hurriedly ran over and asked, "Your Excellency, please sit down, this is dangerous!" If you have any orders, you can give them! ”

Alexander said eagerly: "Adams, I understand, this is a big conspiracy, a big conspiracy from beginning to end, the troops in other directions are very dangerous, quickly, order the troops in the direction of Ledo, Sugia, Gamai, and New Taiji to immediately stop the attack and return to the East Indies by the same route!" Order them to blow up all the lots along the way that can stop the pursuers. ”

After speaking, he laughed out loud, looked at the thick fog in the Hukang River Valley and the night sky in the direction of northern Myanmar with hateful eyes, and then said: "I just let that mean, cunning Chinese Tang Qiuli taste a defeat, my main force is gone, but the other troops are still there!" ”

At this time, more than nine hours had passed since Tang Qiuli ordered all brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps to launch a devastating attack on the British and Indian troops in front of him.

And in such a long time, it is enough for Tang Qiuli to launch another large-scale campaign, not to mention, the encirclement prepared by Tang Qiuli for the four divisions that assisted Alexander is far several times more than the strength of the ambush at Meth Kailing, and Alexander's belated awakening is nothing more than a heavier blow.
