No matter from which point of view, Meisi Kailing is not a place to use soldiers, but this mountain ridge is the only barrier in the west of Magao, the road leading from the Hukang River Valley to Magao, turning over from the ridge, winding through the forest, winding into the distance.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that it is a highway, it is nothing more than that when the British occupied the Indochina Peninsula, in order to plunder the rich mineral resources of the local area, they built a dirt road from Myitkyina in northern Myanmar to Ramgar in East India, which fell into disrepair for a long time, coupled with the perennial rain washing, the road became potholes, and the rain in northern Myanmar was still too much, and the highway was full of puddles of different sizes.

The main force of the British and Indian army was marching rapidly on this muddy road west of the Methkai Ridge, and the vehicles drove by, splashing large patches of muddy mud, spraying the faces of the British and Indian soldiers marching on foot, and the soldiers cursed angrily at their comrades on the truck, and the echo was a string of laughter and shrill whistles.

The soldiers on foot, who could only spit on the black smoke trucks that had gone away, to vent their dissatisfaction, marched non-stop for several hours since the Hukang River valley was defeated, and the commanders at all levels kept moving forward as if urging the soldiers. Reputedly. This was the order of the commander, General Alexander.

The soldiers' curiosity when they first entered northern Burma had been replaced by dull and tired bodies, and along the way, they saw villages where the common people ran brightly, ten rooms and ten empty rooms, and did not even see a single figure, and the commanders boasted, the local indigenous people, would welcome the troops of the British Empire. The grand event of returning to the Indochina Peninsula has never been seen at all.

Not to mention the common people and beautiful girls, there is not even a living creature in the village, only the nasty mud. Stained with heavier and heavier military boots, this army of more than 200,000 men, on the surface, was still imposing, but in fact, marching at an extraordinary speed, without a single break in between, all the soldiers were not only angry, but also exhausted, and became the last of the strong crossbows.

General Alexander's mood. Unlike all the soldiers, he was in extreme excitement, and at the moment when he walked out of the Hukang River Valley and stepped on the land of northern Burma, he really smelled the familiar breath of the northern land of Burma, the wind blowing in the mountains and forests, the afternoon sun, the fragrance of grass and trees, the undulating meadows spread out, and the jungles, all of which evoked the deep memories of the general.

It's been more than two years. The Indochina Peninsula, which I had been thinking about for a long time, finally set foot on this land again, and two years ago, I was so sad and wolf-bèi, bidding farewell to this land. Under Tang Qiuli's eyes, he walked to the East Indies step by step. The Chinese, sitting back and watching his 400,000 troops, be eaten by the Japanese in one bite.

He chased from Myitkyina in northern Myanmar to Tengchong in China, and from Tengchong to Bamo in northern Myanmar, just to be able to see Tang Qiuli and ask him to send troops, but until Mandalay was lost, more than 400,000 troops were defeated and beaten by the Japanese, and when they arrived at Myitkyina, there were only more than 30,000 people left.

At this time, the despicable and shameless Chinese Tang Qiuli appeared as a savior, in front of the world, acted in a play, he became a hero who saved the remnants of the British Empire, but he himself became a laughing stock of the defeated soldiers who lost the city and land, and since then, Alexander has hated Tang Qiuli to death. …,

In Alexander's heart, the Japanese who defeated themselves were much more upright than Tang Qiuli, who defeated their own troops on the battlefield, but Tang Qiuli seized one of his own by despicable means.

From these thoughts, it can be seen that Alexander's xìng grid has a very strict zhòng paranoid tendency, and there is also the characteristic of choosing xìng amnesia, he probably forgot jì, at the beginning, when the Japanese launched the Indochina War, the Japanese and the British were still plotting to deal with Tang Qiuli together, and the relationship between Britain and Japan was like a brother. (Just look for novel material)

Wearing a kùzi, that is a small meaning, it is a number of hardcore allies with different heads and surnames, the British even gave up the Singapore base to the Japanese Navy to use, what is the result, the Japanese turned their faces, it is a knife to Alexander in Singapore, it is very likely, in Alexander's heart, it is much more comfortable to give up the Indochina Peninsula to the Japanese than to be stolen by Tang Qiuli.

From the memories, General Alexander, who had come to his senses, swept away the decadent feelings, looked at the land of northern Burma in the afternoon sun with great ambition, and seemed to ask casually: "Gentlemen, do you know the name of the mountain range in front of you?" Do you remember how we got here? ”

No one answered, Alexander smiled embarrassedly, only to know that he was self-inflicted, these staff officers around him were all coming to Indochina for the first time, and he brought more than 30,000 subordinates to India, more than half of them died on the way, and the rest, after arriving in East India, were also unlucky with him, either ordered to withdraw from the army, or transferred to remote areas.

The staff officers could answer the name of the mountain range in front of them, but this did not affect General Alexander's feelings, he was on the grass, posed, and the only reporter accompanying the army took several pictures of him as a witness to the history of his return to Indochina.

It was of great significance to General Alexander, who was now full of ambition and ambition, and then, boarding the jeep, he waved his hand imposingly and said to the staff officers: "Gentlemen, today our camp is under the city of Margao, and tomorrow's lunch should be eaten in the city of Margao!" ”

In front of Alexander, a large group of Anglo-Indian soldiers, stepping on muddy water, marched rapidly.

At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon of April 28, Tang Qiuli's front-line headquarters was located here on the Meisikai Ridge, next to a huge rock, and the mountain tiger and the soldiers of the guard brigade dug out a shelter for him for more than two hours, and the roof was covered with thick tree trunks and covered with thick soil.

According to the requirements of the mountain tiger, even if they are directly hit by a few large-caliber shells, there will be no danger to cover the people in the department, which is a bit redundant in Tang Qiuli's opinion, it is an ambush war, not a blocking war, and the British and Indian soldiers who came from afar, under the sudden artillery fire, still have time to organize a counterattack? Then I want to be impressed by these British and Indian soldiers!

The telephone in the shelter department rang rapidly, and after a while, Chief of Staff Zhao Yihe walked out of the shelter department and said to Tang Qiuli, who was half-lying on the grass: "Division commander, I received a call from the commander of the First Brigade Liu Hongzhang at the front, the vanguard of the British and Indian Army, under the guidance of the tank, has approached the ambush position of the First Brigade. ”

Tang Qiuli looked at his watch, at 4:26 in the afternoon, Alexander came so quickly, and more than half an hour earlier than the scheduled time, he said: "Order Liu Hongzhang to continue to hide and let go of the vanguard of the British and Indian army." ”

When Zhao Yihe returned from delivering the order, Tang Qiuli asked, "Yùhe, how is the marching column of the Anglo-Indian army?" Can we put in more than 200,000 people in our ambush position at once? ”…,

Zhao Yihe shook his head and replied: "Division commander, no, according to the report of the reconnaissance unit, the length of the marching column of the British and Indian troops should exceed our ambush circle, and it is conservatively estimated that it can fit in about two-thirds. ”

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "That's right, you can kill hundreds of thousands of people at once, and the pressure on Xiduo's interception troops can also be reduced, not to mention, there is also the subsequent pursuit, when you reach Xiduo, there are not many people left in Alexander!" ”

Zhao Yihe worriedly raised another question, "Division commander, I am worried that if the British and Indian troops send a small force to search along both flanks of the Meth Kailing Road, our ambush troops will burst into targets, and it is a pity that most of the British and Indian troops have not entered the ambush circle, and the battle will start ahead of schedule, which will cause unexpected changes and difficulties to the battle." ”

Tang Qiuli smiled, not worried at all, and said: "Yùhe, the way the battle is carried out is formulated according to the characteristics of the opponent, from Xiduo to Meskailing, I have adopted the tactic of fighting and retreating along the way, and I am arrogant to Alexander, he has formed a fixed thinking, and I have no main force in northern Burma. ”

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have been like this, hurrying towards the horse, and, do you see the speed of the British and Indian troops' march, like a posture of advancing while searching? Arriving here an hour and a half earlier than scheduled, does he still have time to search carefully? I'm afraid that even if some officers propose such tactics, they will be contemptuously rejected by him. ”

Zhao Yihe thought for a moment, smiled, and said, "Commander, it's me who is too worried!" ”

Time is like a freeze, the long line of British and Indian troops, in the telescope of the brigade commanders of the direct corps, can not see the end of the rolling past, on both sides of the highway are infantry queues, in the middle, are tanks and trucks towing American-made artillery and full of soldiers, the brigade commanders, from time to time look at their watches, while anxiously turning back and forth, while looking at the telephone on the shell box from time to time.

The soldiers and commanders of the Anglo-Indian army, including Alexander, who were exhausted and hurried on the road, could not have imagined that on this earthen ridge that could not be called a mountain, on both sides of the road that stretched for dozens of kilometers, or in the dense or sparse jungle, there were ambushes of the sharpest field regiments of the independent division, 12 brigades with more than 100,000 people, five artillery brigades and artillery regiments under each brigade, and thousands of artillery pieces of various calibers.

At 5:30 sharp, the phone in the division and the shelter rang again rapidly.
