Chapter 1079: The Confused Führer
, Chapter 1079 The Führer of Confusion
What Chutian said in the telegram that the British army and the Burmese mixed small forces were the guides that Alexander sent to the Savage Mountain to lead the way for the Terauchi Shouichi troops, Tang Qiuli vaguely guessed the purpose of these small units of the British army and the Burmese to enter the Savage Mountain, and there was a ridiculous feeling in his heart, could it be that Alexander was an idiot or a blind man?
The Japanese are ready to move in Southeast Asia, and their intentions are already very obvious, but Alexander is still wishful thinking to curry favor with the Japanese, if he successfully brings the remnants of the Japanese army of Terauchi Shouichi out of the savage mountains to Myitkyina in northern Burma, these Japanese soldiers are not allies, but a group of hungry wolves, such people in the world?
With Tang Qiuli's experience as a person, he couldn't understand the thoughts of the British, so he emphasized in his order to Chutian, "To attack the column, we must wipe out all the small units of the British and Burmese troops that have entered the Savage Mountain, do not let them have any contact with the Japanese army, and immediately report the situation to the division after the battle." Tang Qiuli also wanted to know the real purpose of the Anglo-Burmese army.
A few days later, Chutian reported the situation, "Division Commander, I attacked all units of the column, entered the edge area of the Savage Mountain in northern Burma, and carried out more than ten operations, and annihilated a total of 18 mixed units of the Anglo-Burmese Army, about 500 people, according to the prisoners, these small forces were ordered by Alexander to enter the Savage Mountain, look for Japanese troops, and be responsible for taking the remnants of the Japanese army out of the Savage Mountain, however, because of the complex terrain of the Savage Mountain, it was not possible to completely eliminate the target, and about two or three mixed small units of the Anglo-Burmese Army lost their traces, The troops are now searching. ”
Tang Qiuli understood why Alexander transferred all the elite troops to the area close to the Chinese border, but he still repeated the old trick and let the Japanese be a free thug, and first fight with himself to defeat both sides, and the British took the opportunity to clean up the mess and completely drive out the troops of the independent division into Southeast Asia.
It's still the same old way, the British don't make any effort, pick up ready-made cheap, and take others as fools, then teach the British a lesson, let the Japanese give them a resounding slap in the face, and let the British have a longer memory, let the Japanese be thugs, not only you Alexander will do this, he gave Chu Tian a new order, "Chutian, the main combat task of the next stage of the attack column is to destroy a large number of Japanese forces, and the Japanese forces that will be able to enter northern Burma will be controlled within the range of attack capabilities, if necessary, All the special operations detachments that can be mobilized entered the Savage Mountain. ”
Tang Qiuli's order is equivalent to a problem for Chu Tian, what does it mean to have attack ability, with Chu Tian's understanding of the British army, the combat effectiveness of a wing of the Japanese army can definitely overturn a brigade of the British army, and it is a fight all over the ground to find teeth, how many little devils are appropriate, Chu Tian is in a dilemma, and he does not dare to send a telegram again to ask the division commander's true intentions.
There was no way, Chutian found another way, sent a telegram to the chief of staff Chang Feng, Chang Feng knew what Chu Tian meant, and did not inform Tang Qiuli, and his staff officers, after careful calculation, considering the consumption of the Japanese army in the Savage Mountain, and the actual strength of the British army in northern Burma, came to an approximate figure, about 40,000 to 45,000 people, such a scale of Japanese troops, can set off a storm in northern Burma, but it is absolutely impossible to destroy the British army, and the British are still capable of fighting.
Chu Tian has a bottom in his heart, and the attack column that has the initiative on the battlefield of Savage Mountain can freely decide the scale and method of the battle, and kill the little devils who are exhausted, there is no problem, at the same time, Chu Tian can't help but shudder, the division commander's order, for announcing the end of Terauchi Shouichi, give the final verdict to the Japanese army.
There are more than 200,000 little devils who have entered the Savage Mountain, and after such a long period of consumption and losses, there are still 150,000 or 60,000 people, that is to say, according to the estimation of the chief of staff Chang Feng, in the Savage Mountain, there will be more than 100,000 corpses of Japanese soldiers, and the dead corpses will be everywhere, and they will soon become a pile of white bones, shocking, the division commander is ruthless enough, and Chu Tian secretly smacked his tongue.
In fact, if Tang Qiuli hadn't been angry at Alexander's ignorance and stupidity, Terauchi Shouichi and the more than 200,000 Japanese soldiers under his command would not have wanted to get out of the Savage Mountain alive and let the British taste the pain of lifting a stone and hitting their own feet.
One night in late March, Tang Qiuli and Mei Xue, who was recuperating from her injuries in Shanghai, talked on the phone, Tang Qiuli's mood was very happy, Mei Xue's injuries healed at an optimistic speed, and she was able to move in the ward with the support of the nurse, but the girl was very reluctant to be alone in Shanghai, and after arguing that the injury was healed, she immediately returned to Tengchong and returned to Tang Qiuli's side.
Mei Xue's attachment to himself, Tang Qiuli felt it deeply, and after Mei Xue blocked the shot for herself, Tang Qiuli seemed to have a strange feeling in the depths of his heart, this feeling was not there before, he was immersed in a wonderful realm, and couldn't help but think of a long letter to himself that he had read Mei Ting in Dingbian two days ago.
In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen Mei Ting for a few months, and now, Mei Ting is in the pre-labor situation, although the medical facilities in Dingbian are the best in the country, and the parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law are all with Mei Ting, for the first child of the Tang family and the Mei family, the four old people are excited and expectant, and take care of Mei Ting as a baby.
Mei Ting's letter was full of good news, full of a sense of pride that she was going to be a mother, and also told him not to worry about himself, everything was fine, but Tang Qiuli could still see that between the sentences, there was a faint melancholy and loss that could not be concealed, and the love of parents and in-laws could not replace the care and love of her husband no matter what.
At this moment, I should be by Mei Ting's side and look forward to the birth of my first child, but how can I get out of the war in Southeast Asia? Mei Xue's coquettish voice on the phone, the faint loss in Mei Ting's letter, the different expressions of the two wives, but they are all deep love, entangled and intertwined in Tang Qiuli's heart, even he himself can't tell what kind of feeling it is.
The night was vast, Tang Qiuli looked up to the south, the night wind of early spring in western Yunnan was blowing from the South Pacific, with a faint and almost inaudible saltiness, but he clearly smelled the smell of gunsmoke, "The big war is about to start!" Tang Qiuli seemed to say to himself, exhaling the complicated feelings in his chest.
Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, hurried over, "Division commander, an urgent telegram from the German side," Tang Qiuli took the telegram, Bai Luoyu's beautiful and neat handwriting, it was pleasing to the eye when he looked at it, but the content of the telegram made Tang Qiuli very surprised, this was Battle's telegram from the Dunkirk front.
"After the German army bypassed the Maginot Line, the speed of advance in France was very fast, and hundreds of thousands of British and French troops were forced to retreat to Dunkirk, a port on the border between northern France and the Netherlands. ”
"According to the current trend of the development of the war situation, the Anglo-French coalition was surrounded and annihilated by the German army in Dunkirk, which is the inevitable result, and the group army has already issued an order to attack, but, strangely, the order from the German high command is to immediately stop the offensive, and the reason given is that the water network and swampy area near Dunkirk are not conducive to the operation of armored forces, in order to avoid losses, the ground forces immediately stopped the offensive, and the Luftwaffe attacked Dunkirk instead, according to Guderian, the order came from the German Führer Hitler."
"Brother Qiu Li, according to my observation and judgment on the battlefield, this order is very strange, it will lose the perfect opportunity to completely annihilate the Anglo-French army on the European continent, the last main force, the German army has surrounded the British and French forces from three sides, and the British and French forces have begun to organize the operation of crossing the English Channel and retreating to the British mainland, I can't guess the intention of the German high command, so, report the situation, please make a judgment on Brother Qiu Li, brother Battle."
This is a long telegram, in the rain of bullets on the battlefield, Battle can still have time to send a telegram, which shows that the German army has completely occupied the initiative on the battlefield, as long as the final blow is done, the British and French in addition to the fate of being completely killed, probably only have one way to jump into the English Channel.
Tang Qiuli almost blurted out, "Stupid and stupid, Hitler is letting the tiger go back to the mountain," do you still need to judge? Although the retreat of the Anglo-French forces from Dunkirk was a few months earlier than recorded in history, the current form of the European battlefield is exactly the same as recorded in history, with the German offensive in full swing and the Anglo-French forces facing a desperate situation.
At this critical moment, Hitler did not know what evil style he had committed, and he actually ordered the German army to stop the offensive, giving the British and French troops a once-in-a-lifetime respite, and within a few days, within the range of German artillery fire, using various ships, the 400,000 British and French soldiers were withdrawn to the British Isles under the noses of the Germans, and later, this part of the British and French troops became the backbone of the counterattack on the European continent.
According to wild history, the root cause of Hitler's fatal mistake was the stupid, showy, but ambitious Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Sherman. Göring's request, Göring did not want all the victories and halos of the German army in the European theater to be robbed by the army, and seeing that the British and French forces had become a turtle in the urn, he proposed to Hitler that the Luftwaffe alone complete the final attack on the British and French forces.
Hitler was carried away by the imminent victory, coupled with the face of taking care of his old friend and iron buddy, he actually agreed to this absurd request, as a result, in the Dunkirk area, for several days in a row of thick clouds and fog, German planes could not take off at all, the British and French soldiers, hurriedly evacuated, Goering released an empty cannon, but because of this, the future and fate of the Third Reich were ruined.
However, now with Tang Qiuli, it will be a different ending, more than 400,000 British and French soldiers will not escape the fate of being completely annihilated from Dunkirk no matter what, without him, let the Germans win a complete victory in the European battlefield, so as to be the fierce enemy of the Soviets.
