Zhao Yuhe was puzzled, how could his own words make the teacher's face so ugly? Am I wrong?

Tang Qiuli calmed down his agitated mood, he knew that whether it was the three brigade commanders in charge of interspersing and Zhao Yuhe, the chief of staff, the proposal was based on the realistic consideration of the implementation of the campaign plan, there was nothing wrong with this, from a certain point of view, this was the best solution, but this was the most intolerable way to solve the problem

Tang Qiuli was silent for a moment, his face softened, and he said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, when I was sixteen years old in the Northeast, when I pulled up the first team, that is, the Bloody Hand Regiment, the predecessor of the Dúlì Division, I formed a tradition of never giving up every soldier, so many old backbones of the army fought with me from the Northeast to the Indochina Peninsula, and they have been tested by countless wars and become the middle force of this army. ”

"It seems like a good way to place the soldiers who are not reduced in combat, but have you thought about it, interspersed with troops and the Anglo-Indian army crossed, into a dog-tooth staggered trend, who can guarantee that they will not encounter the search force of the Anglo-Indian army, what if they do? Also, do some local tribal armed forces pose a threat to their lives, lack of medical care, and how can they wait until the end of the battle? ”

Zhao Yuhe lowered his head, what the division commander said, he really didn't think about it, his thoughts, like the three brigade commanders, revolved, how to complete the interspersed tasks smoothly, these assumptions of the division commander may really appear, but, in addition, is there any better solution? The troops must not always march with a large number of wounded and concealed, which in itself is slowing down the speed of the troops.

Tang Qiuli said softly: "From the perspective of the overall deployment of the Northern Burma Campaign, the interspersed tasks of the three brigades are mainly to conceal the march and not be discovered by the British and Indian troops. Interspersed too fast, occupying Sido in advance, Alexander found that his rear road was cut off, would he continue to attack Margau? Definitely not. ”

"There is not a single general. Finding that his rear route was cut off, and there was a so-called predetermined target to attack regardless of a single qiē, unless this goal could determine the outcome of the battle, once Alexander's central route army retreated to India, the three brigades interspersed would have to withstand the fierce attack of more than 200,000 British and Indian troops who were eager to retreat without any losses. How stressed will they be? ”

"When I issued the interspersed order, I told them that they would mainly march in concealment, and when they reached the vicinity of Sido, they would lurk and wait, but they understood that they were in a hurry to take Sido, and this kind of rush was unacceptable. Therefore, the battle to capture Sido must have been after the start of the Magao ambush. Before the British and Indian armies showed signs of retreat, the scale, as a front-line general, should be well grasped. ”

Looking at Zhao Yuhe and the embarrassed gods, Tang Qiu couldn't bear to blame him anymore, and then said: "Order the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps to rush to the vicinity of Xiduo with the wounded, and not a single one can be left behind, in addition, I will order Chutian's special operations detachment." Enter the Hukang River valley and take on the task of capturing Sido. ”

Zhao Yuhe's god has returned to normal, although the division commander did not blame him, but in his heart, there is still a strange feeling. It is said that the division commander's order seems to go against this convention, but the decision made is based on the consideration of the overall situation of the campaign, and the greatest possible love for the lives of the soldiers, and in this regard, I still need to learn a lot.

Tang Qiuli looked at his young chief of staff and continued: "Yuhe, don't have any psychological burden, draw up an order, the aviation unit Leyi Qin Division, the division baggage division director Song Wenhai, the division field hospital, after I intersperse the troops to seize Xiduo, the heavy equipment, ammunition, materials, and materials needed for the construction of fortifications will be airlifted to Xiduo in a timely manner. ”…,

After Zhao Yuhe recorded the order, he saluted and said, "Division commander, I went to convey the order, what other instructions do you have?" ”

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Let's go, the matter of airlifting supplies to Xiduo and the field hospital, we have to start handling it now, tell the sù baggage, the troops need to prepare more, the troops who are plugged are fighting a war of attrition, I don't want my soldiers, with submachine guns that have run out of bullets, to fight with the British and Indian soldiers with bayonets!" ”

On the morning of April 28, Major General Xiao Jinshan, commander of the Ninth Brigade of the Corps directly under the Hukang River Valley, stood on a high ground with a telescope, and looked at the direction of the British and Indian troops with a knowing look.

"First regiment commander, what did you not hear clearly about the order of the division headquarters? Your battalion has planted so many explosives on both sides of the road, it can overturn half of the hill onto the road, you let the British and Indian soldiers go, just to clear the road, there is no ten days or eight days, there is no way to get through guò, yes, reduce the amount, less than one-tenth, it means that it will be fine, I don't expect your regiment to block these bastards. ”

"By the way, your four battalions are arranged in echelons, blocking in turn, each battalion is only allowed to fight for fifteen minutes, and then they will be withdrawn, where is so much nonsense, carry out the order, and, withdraw your regimental artillery battalion to the rear for me, what to fight? You can ask such a question, is the guy in your soldier's hand a burning stick? ”

Putting down the phone, Xiao Jinshan shook his head and said to himself: "I don't know what the division commander thinks, a main field brigade has to pretend to be a bear, artillery is not allowed to be used, recoilless guns and bazookas are not allowed to be used, can my old Xiao beat the British and Indian soldiers with his fists?" Hit and go, isn't this a one-touch collapse? ”

The combat staff officer on the side asked, "Brigade commander, commander Wang of the heavy artillery regiment called to ask for instructions, should you set up an artillery position immediately?" The observation post of the heavy artillery regiment, having reached the front line, began to determine the coordinates. ”

Xiao Jinshan said thoughtlessly: "What artillery position, you sue him, this section of the Hukang River Valley, there is nothing to do with his artillery, honestly squinting in the back!" Withdraw everyone to me! As soon as the young staff officer stuck out his tongue, he hurriedly called the heavy artillery regiment, don't be busy, the brigade commander said, nothing is wrong with your artillery!

After walking around the high ground for a few laps, Xiao Jinshan felt aggrieved and picked up the walkie-talkie, "I'm Xiao Jinshan, I said Lao Fang, this battle is difficult to fight, retreating ten kilometers is Xinduo, or, let's join forces and fight hard in Xinduo and these bastards?" And then withdraw? ”

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Major General Fang Yuanshan, the commander of the 10th Brigade, grinned and said, "I said Lao Xiao, you don't have a fever, right?" What did the division commander's order say, even the artillery was not allowed to be used, what should we do with more than 200,000 British and Indian troops? If you scare away the British and Indian soldiers, you wait for the division commander to clean you up, the dismissal is light, you can honestly follow the division commander's orders! ”

Xiao Jinshan sighed and said: "This battle is fought, aggrieved, in the form of the marching army of the British and Indian army, my heavy artillery regiment can kill thousands of him, now it's good, let people chase after their butts, what is this called!" By the way, we must retreat at the same pace, don't you withdraw first, let the British bread my dumplings from behind! ”

Fang Yuanshan opened his mouth angrily and roared loudly: "Old Xiao, what are you talking about? Just by what you say, it's not over with you! ”

Xiao Jinshan also knew that his words were a little too much, and hurriedly said: "You have to get the old side, don't go to your heart, isn't this aggrieved!" Sending a prison sāo with an old comrade-in-arms, your old party is not that kind of person! After speaking, without waiting for Fang Yuanshan to speak, he threw down the walkie-talkie. …,

Four hours later, near noon, more than 50 kilometers away from Xinduo, a burst of fierce gunfire suddenly broke out. ”

Seven or eight minutes later, the phone rang again, Xiao Jinshan grabbed the phone, it was a regiment commander calling, listening to the voice, a little angry, "Brigade commander, the British sent out the tank, these turtle grandchildren have learned smart, less than five minutes after fighting, the tank was dispatched, I lost dozens of people, I have organized a rocket launcher detachment to go up, I have to kill the British tank!" ”

Xiao Jinshan yelled: "Are you an elm pimple head? Bazookas are absolutely not allowed, the British have sent out tanks, you immediately withdraw them, what are you waiting to be beaten? ”

The commander of the regiment argued: "Didn't you order us to fight for fifteen minutes, it has only been seven or eight minutes of fighting, and a shuttle of bullets has not yet been fired," Xiao Jin angrily shook the shell box and shouted: "Withdraw immediately!" Withdraw to the back of the fourth battalion, I've never seen you so dead-eyed, you want to go crazy if you want to fight, right? ”

More than forty minutes later, a regiment and a battalion of soldiers, hula lala, hula la, Xiao Jinshan watched from the high ground, how to look at how to feel that it was a rout, the wolf bèi, see him gritted his teeth, the gunfire was silent for a while, and then broke out again, the first regiment and the second battalion exchanged fire with the British and Indian troops, Xiao Jinshan ordered to the staff officer: "Convey my order, the blocking time of each battalion is shortened to ten minutes, and when the British army dispatches tanks, immediately evacuate the original position." ”

The commander of the regiment ran over panting, and as soon as he saw Xiao Jinshan's face, he shouted loudly: "Brigade commander, what kind of battle is this?" I lost dozens of brothers, I have a guy in my hand, and I don't let it be used, so I let the British and Indian soldiers take advantage, I can't figure it out! ”

Xiao Jinshan glanced at the head of the regiment coldly and said, "What are you yelling about?" I can't figure it out, go to the back and think about it, and the blocking task of one of your regiments will be handed over to the other regiments! ”

The head of the regiment still had to distinguish, and the gunfire in front of him fell down again, Xiao Jinshan picked up the binoculars, observed the situation, and hung the head of the regiment full of grievances.
