Major Lu Xishan, commander of the night bomber formation of the Southern Flying Group of the Independent Division's Air Force, led the formation around a high mountain, and what he saw in front of him almost had an illusion.

In the jungle and open space on both sides of the Hukang River Valley, there are piles of burning bonfires everywhere, in the dark night, there is no more conspicuous target, Lu Xishan's heart jumped wildly uncontrollably, this task is too easy, right? In the Hukang River Valley, where many words were dark, the British and Indian troops were exposed in front of him at a glance, and he had a feeling of unreality.

When the commander gave the order, Lu Xishan still didn't believe in his heart, the British and Indian soldiers were not fools, they could guide their bombers to the target, at this time, he believed it, and he threw himself to the ground with the five bodies of Le Yiqin's worship, the commander was really clever, how did he know that the British and Indian soldiers were camping with bonfires?

Lu Xishan steadied his mind for a moment, and immediately called the base empty finger, "One, one!" Nighthawk 001 reported that the target was spotted, and there were bonfires everywhere, which was spectacular, please ask for an immediate attack? ”

Le Yiqin laughed proudly and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's fight, rub it off for a while, these bastards should slip away! ”

Lu Xishan grinned and hurriedly ordered: "Attention teams, according to the predetermined plan, disperse the attack!" "The captain of more than fifty bombers, after hearing the order, pressed the nose of the plane, and immediately entered the bombing route, in his eyes, there were only bonfires everywhere, this is a fucking good opportunity, when I was training before, I bombed all the dead targets, this time, take these British and Indian soldiers, and have a good meat!

The night flight group of the independent division, just after Xinduo, including Alexander, all the British and Indian officers and soldiers had already heard the roar of the aircraft engines, and Alexander raised his head suspiciously. Looking at the dark night sky in the east, there was nothing but hazy stars obscured by thin clouds.

But there was a roar from there. Is it going to rain? Is Alexander's against himself? If one thing doesn't go well, everything doesn't go well, if you are unlucky, any trouble will come to the door!

No one thought that it was the night flight group of the independent division, and it was Hades who came to ask for his life, and it was not to blame Alexander for his lack of vigilance. Historically, in the early stage of World War II, the air force planes of various countries carried out missions at night, which was basically a fantasy, and the navigation equipment had not yet reached that kind of range, and only in the later stage of the war did various new technologies emerge one after another. Night flights became a simple matter.

Chief of Staff Adams, too, heard an increasingly dull roar, though. His attention was not in the sky, and he hurriedly called a few guards and ordered: "You guys, immediately set up a tent for His Excellency the Commander!" ”

When several guards were busy with their hands, Lu Xishan's bomber group had already reached the top of his head, and Alexander was stunned when he looked at the black shadow that fell from the sky, and he even forgot to lie down and avoid the air attack. How is that possible? Tang Qiuli's bombers can also be dispatched at night? My God, it's not an illusion, is it? Not a lot of words

Of course, it was not a hallucination, with a terrible scream, and countless small black dots fell from the dark night sky. In the blink of an eye, the ground exploded into orange-red flames, accompanied by a huge explosion, resounding in the night sky, and the Hukang River valley immediately became noisy, steel and flames became the main colors of the night.

The bomber crews of the Independent Division were almost happy in their hearts, and around a bonfire, there was a circle of British and Indian soldiers, there was no more obvious landmark, even than in the daytime, it was easy to recognize, a bombshell was dropped, and the bonfires exploded in all directions, like fireworks suddenly blooming in the night sky, dotting sparks, with the limbs of British and Indian soldiers, scattered in the Hukang River Valley. …,

The afterglow of the campfires scattered around exposed the figures of the British and Indian soldiers who fled in all directions, and the bombs chased the figures one by one to explode, and the camp of the British and Indian troops became a sea of fire and a hell of death, which was still without the use of "Buddha light" napalm, otherwise, the bombing at night alone would have killed half of the British and Indian soldiers!

In less than an hour, more than 50 night bombers of the Southern Flying Group sent tens of thousands of British and Indian soldiers into the night of terror. ”

The captains, pulling up the bomber, looked back again, the Hukang River valley full of fire, still unfinished, Lu Xishan's headphones, there were bursts of joyful voices, "Nighthawk 001, you have good luck again, go back, please drink a few brothers!" "Come on, just call Lao Lu, you kid, there have been a lot of good things recently, I'm afraid the day of hanging the lieutenant colonel sign is not far away!"

Le Yiqin was in the empty finger war room, listening to the sound from the loudspeaker, he was overjoyed, and said to the chief of staff, Dong Ningxuan: "I said Chief of Staff, how about it, didn't fly into the air, our planes of the Southern Flying Group, as long as they go out, there is no habit of coming back empty-handed, by the way, what these boys said makes sense, among the dozens of captains, there are not many with the rank of major, right?" Quite a few words"

Dong Ningxuan thought for a moment and replied: "Commander, there are nine people, but they are all a little bit of a condition, you also know that our troops, how difficult it is to be promoted to a first-class rank, even if it is the division commander, it will not be able to pass!" ”

Le Yiqin waved his hand and said majestically: "Others can delay it, Lu Xishan's military rank must be promoted, two battles a day, capture prisoners in the sky, bomb the camp at night, and make extraordinary moves, don't worry about this, I'll find the division commander to grind, staff officer, notify the canteen, add food, make it a little more sumptuous, after the night flight formation comes back, I and the chief of staff invite them to drink!" ”

The bomber group of the Independent Division disappeared into the endless night sky, leaving behind burning trees everywhere, a messy campsite, fragmented corpses, the painful wails of wounded soldiers, and the panicked figures still running aimlessly.

The smoke and smell of blood shrouded in this jungle, Alexander got up from the ground, there was a sharp pain in his left leg, he groaned in pain, and fell to the ground, a piece of shrapnel mercilessly pierced into the left thigh of His Excellency the commander, red blood, soaked through the military trousers, under the flickering firelight, the irregular edges of the shrapnel, flashing with the cold light of metal.

Alexander this time, not so lucky, the bombing came too suddenly, too unexpected, no one thought that the bomber group of the independent division would carry out a fierce air attack at night, corresponding to the camp of the Indian army, the guards did not have time to cover, a bombshell, to take the lives of several guards, but also let Commander Alexander, gloriously become a wounded.

The physical pain is far less than the pain in his heart, blow after blow, every time, it is hitting Alexander's confidence, without air supremacy, nightfall, should be the best cover, he will change the way of marching, however, Tang Qiuli's viciousness, the ferocity of his number one general, Le Yiqin, and the unexpected way of blowing, shattered all Alexander's hopes.

What kind of troops can withstand such a dense air raid if they can't go during the day, and they can't be restless at night, and they can't be peaceful at night, day and night? The only way is to march at night, without a little firelight, otherwise, tonight's nightmare will repeat itself every night, but can the morale and body of the soldiers support the daily march with dry food and cold water, without a little lighting? …,

In any case, Alexander had to go on in one breath, so Chief of Staff Adams buried the bodies of a group of soldiers, left thousands of wounded, and left a terrible place in the boundless night.

It's just that in the dark night, in the marching ranks of the Anglo-Indian army, groping forward, there is an extra stretcher, and Commander Alexander lies on it with a pale face, Chief of Staff Adams, can leave any wounded, but only if you can't leave Commander Alexander and leave the commander to the Chinese as prisoners, then this army will really be completely finished.

In the next few days, the British and Indian troops spent time in the bombing of Le Yiqin's bomber group, day and night, every day, Le Yiqin would send several formations to do search bombing along the Hukang River Valley, even if it was a single figure during the day, and a little Mars at night, it would attract heavy bombs falling from the sky.

The day and night movements of the British and Indian troops were completely restricted, and the distance they retreated each night was only about 20 kilometers, and the time to avoid air raids far exceeded the time of marching.

Tang Qiuli commanded the troops of the twelve brigades, and was not in a hurry to catch up, hanging far behind Alexander, keeping a distance of day and night, and did not fight a single battle, but the troops became a containment team, and along the way, they successively accepted seven or eight thousand wounded of the British and Indian troops, especially the vanguard regiments of the Ninth Brigade and the Tenth Brigade, which served as the leading troops.

These wounded British and Indian soldiers who knew that they had no other way to live, but they were also smart and had a strong sense of survival, and on the high places next to the highway, they hung up the white flag early, and the weapons in their hands were neatly stacked in a pile, waiting for the Chinese soldiers to capture them, and they also understood that those who were officials left themselves behind for fear of dragging them down and being caught up by the Chinese soldiers.

Rather than waiting for death on their own, it is better to be captured by the Chinese, and there may be a way to live, with this mentality, the wounded soldiers of the British and Indian troops, and the military doctors and nurses who remained, but some hope that the soldiers of the independent division will catch up quickly so as to take them away from this terrible place.

As they wished, the Chinese soldiers really arrived, and these wounded soldiers and doctors and nurses of the British and Indian troops greeted them with a smile as if they had seen their relatives, but it made Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan, who led the team, unable to figure out their minds at the same time, and muttered in their hearts?
