The tent was violently opened, mixed with a night breeze full of moisture, and the smell of gunpowder smoke rushed in, and several flashlight pillars of light, first glanced at a few random glances, and saw the black people on the ground, and then, fixed on the commander who was immobile and calm, but had lost the ability to think.

The captain of the guard team of the headquarters stepped forward a few steps, pressed Alexander to the ground, and said eagerly: "Your Excellency, General, please hide immediately, our camp has been attacked by the enemy, and now the situation shows that I will protect you to evacuate here immediately" Several strong guards came up, picked up Alexander and ran out.

Wouldn't it be more dangerous for the commanders to stay here, if the attackers knew that this was the tent of the High Command, and that a grenade and bullet would have killed the elite of the British Empire?

So, dozens of Anglo-Indian officers, following closely behind Alexander, ran into the forest next to the tent, and only then did Alexander catch his breath and let the guards put themselves down, and then, with light blue eyes, looked at the campsite with fire everywhere, and the muscles on his cheeks trembled uncontrollably.

From Alexander's position, the battle site was very scattered, but the scope covered almost the entire camp, only the baggage and ammunition storage place behind, it was still dark, and at this time, the officers who ran out after him gathered around him, watching the flames that exploded from time to time, listening to the sometimes sparse and sometimes fierce gunfire, and whispering in shock.

No one laughs at the other party's embarrassment, donkey don't laugh at the horse's long face, the enemy's situation is unknown, even the commander's Excellency is hidden, we are a normal reaction, in fact, where they are now, there are still a few kilometers away from the place where the battle took place. It didn't affect at all.

Looking at the high-ranking officers around him, all of them shrunk their heads and ugly faces full of fear, the anger in Alexander's heart was almost scorched his hair. He asked the captain of the guard viciously, "James, do you know what happened?" ”

Lieutenant Colonel James, the captain of the guard, replied very dryly: "Report to the commander, I only heard the sound of gunshots and explosions, and immediately arranged for your security protection, the specific situation is not clear." Just know, we were attacked! ”

Hearing the words of James, the captain of the guard, a British major general came over and said to Alexander: "Commander, this militant group that attacked our camp is very familiar with the terrain, and it should be the local miscellaneous army, otherwise. It is impossible to launch a sudden attack in such a dark night and rainy day. Send troops, search for and exterminate this group of militants, otherwise, something similar will happen! ”

Several other high-ranking British officers also echoed the voice, agreeing with the major general's statement, but a few Indian officers were silent, and the mockery in their eyes disappeared for a moment. But Alexander was keenly captured by the light of the explosion.

Alexander was so angry that he almost wanted to fly up and kick this disgraceful compatriot and subordinate to death on the spot. Why don't you say it's Satan's men of the devil, who are idle and panicked, and have nothing to do to attack the camp of the British Empire? The reason? The reason? This should have been done by the Chinese soldiers on the other side! ”

The battle happened suddenly, and it ended quickly, but in more than 30 minutes, the sound of explosions and gunfire gradually fell down, and finally, it completely stopped, and the smell of gunpowder was quickly blown away by the night wind mixed with rain, if it weren't for the little fire, and the shouts of the British and Indian soldiers, people almost doubted that what happened just now was a dream?

Although the battle was over, for the sake of safety, Alexander and the generals were still in this forest, hiding for more than forty minutes before returning to the tent. …,

The gas lamps in the tent were rekindled, and the bright lights stimulated the officers who had just returned from the darkness, dizzy, Alexander's pale blue eyes, glowing with cold light, and his face was pale and he looked at the senior officers who were like chickens in soup, and he didn't speak for a long time.

After a long silence, Alexander asked in a voice as cold as ice, "Gentlemen, can any of you sue me what happened?" Who is it that attacked our camp? ”

The officers looked at each other, but they didn't think much in their hearts: "Isn't this nonsense?" We're in a meeting, Commander, aren't you angry and disappointed in us? That one will know who it is that suddenly attacked, perhaps, only God Almighty knows. ”

Seeing that the officers did not speak, Alexander's anger became even greater, and he said sharply: "Gentlemen, I tell you the truth, I dare to conclude that the one who attacked us must be the soldiers of the [China] country on the other side, I have served the British Empire for decades in Asia, and I have been dealing with the people of the [China" country for decades, I understand their tricks and cleverness, such a sneak attack is in line with the consistent practice of the people of the "China!" ”

The senior officers of the British army below secretly pouted and disagreed with Alexander's words, you are the Supreme Commander, and it is not how you can make sense of what you say? The night was so rainy that I didn't even see the face of the attacker, so I made such an assertion that when the time comes, it will be you who will lose your old face, and it has nothing to do with us.

The British officers did not believe Alexander's judgment, but several high-ranking Indian officers agreed with his statement, as if to prove the wisdom and greatness of His Excellency the Commander, and the fact that he was like a god, a British colonel came in, "Report to the Commander, it has been ascertained that it was the soldiers of the squadron who attacked us, and judging from the corpses left at the scene and the weapons left, it can be proved that they are the soldiers of the 'Chinese'!" ”

The colonel said, sending a military uniform, a steel helmet and a submachine gun, this time, the senior officers of the British army, their eyes widened, and they had to look at their commander with admiration, amazing, even this knows, it is worthy of the old fritters who have been mixed in Asia for decades, and there is really a bit of genuine goods in their stomachs!

The eyes of the officers did not make Alexander feel a little excited, on the contrary, he also felt ashamed of his correct judgment: "The squadron on the opposite side, but 10,000 troops, after a day of fierce shelling, the casualties are definitely not small, and they still have the courage to attack at night and treat more than 200,000 well-equipped British Imperial troops as nothing!" ”

"And the reaction of the soldiers of the British Empire was so unbearable that the attackers left safely, shame!" Although Alexander did not want to know the damage caused by this attack, and he believed that it would not be too great, the psychological panic caused to the soldiers was immeasurable, and if he could choose a random unit from the troops under his command and also carry out a night attack on the squadron, would such an effect be achieved?

Answer: Yes, no, because the soldiers of the British Empire did not have such courage to die, and as for the Indian soldiers, he was even less hopeful, this is where Alexander was sad and angry, listening to the officers below, "buzzing" like flies about the losses caused by the attackers just now, and his heart was so tired.

Alexander raised his voice and said coldly: "Gentlemen, there is no point in talking about raiders and losses, what we have to focus on is tomorrow's attack, remember, General Qiaobusen, your third division, tomorrow will be the main force of the attacking squadron, I will order all the artillery groups and tank units, as well as the bombers of the air force, to cooperate with your attack." ”

"I will not be stingy with ammunition, the shells and bombs of the British Empire, to blow up the position of the Cido squadron into the most inhospitable place, I will give it to you, Commander of the bridge busson, I order you, before twelve o'clock tomorrow noon, you must take the blocking position of the Cido squadron, otherwise, you will be the first in this unit, because of the delay of the fighters, the major general who did not complete the order, and will be dismissed or executed, I hope to hear your good news before noon tomorrow! Meeting! ”…,

After speaking, he left a group of stunned generals, and walked away angrily, the commander of the Qiaobusen division, his face was red and white, and beads of sweat appeared on the tip of his nose, during the day today, planes, heavy artillery, and tanks were dispatched, and two divisions of infantry were also mobilized, and they took turns to assault, but they failed to take the position of the squadron.

Relying on his own division, moreover, it was a second-rate army that had never fought before, to gnaw that hard bone, and only gave half a day, Qiao Busen was simply crying without tears, he didn't know whether he was unlucky or lucky, how could he be favored by this moody old guy to complete this almost impossible task.

If Hashibusen had known that he had been remembered by Commander Alexander for his own grandiose remarks in the forest where he was hiding from the attack, Hashibusen himself would have slapped himself a few times and scolded "What a mouthful, woe comes from the mouth!" What's the matter? This also corresponds to the old saying in China: "The price of a donkey is cheap when you pout your mouth and sell a mule!" ”

The night was still as thick as ink, the rain was still falling unhurriedly, the road was still muddy and slippery as always, on a remote and difficult mountain road leading to Magao in Xido, a group of figures quickly passed through the tall woods, and from time to time someone "plopped" and fell into the muddy water, but they got up without saying a word and rushed to the brigade in front.

After attacking the camp of the British and Indian troops, the troops of the northern border garrison area of the division were safely withdrawn, and no one spoke in the marching ranks, only the sound of hurried footsteps, the sound of short passwords during contact, and the dull echo of opening the way with the sharp soldiers, cutting down the bushes and thorns that hindered the march, and everyone knew that the farther and faster they were from the battlefield, the safer they were.

The commander, Major General Wen Rongcai, was carried by a makeshift stretcher, his body, left thigh and abdomen, wrapped in thick bandages, red bloodstains, through the bandages, wet his military uniform.
