British Wartime Prime Minister Winston? Churchill, at this time, had already hated Alexander, this guy who had successively disgraced the British Empire and lost the military strength of the overseas territories, and he was more than innocent!

Defeated at the hands of the Japanese and lost Indochina, Churchill could also understand Alexander's difficulties, after all, in Asia, the Japanese are the well-deserved bosses of the region, this rising industrial country, whose economic and military power has swelled unprecedentedly, overturned the Russians in northeast China, and made the Americans daunting in Southeast Asia.

With a dignified murderous aura, quite a brute spirit, and the courage of a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, the British were beaten out of Indochina by the Japanese, and Churchill could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and he didn't dare to have a temper at all. The Japanese don't pay attention to you at all.

But this time, defeated by the Chinese, Churchill will definitely not forgive Alexander, the Chinese? They can also defeat the armies of the British Empire? This country that has been in turmoil for a century, poor and weak, has just cut off the braids on the back of its head, and has only been working hard for decades, can it be the opponent of the British Imperial Team with the backing of the Americans?

In Churchill's view, the two sides were not a level of rivalry, however, the British Empire's offensive in northern Burma was indeed a failure, which is an unavoidable fact, which can only show that Alexander is a mediocre talent, not enough to take on such a heavy responsibility, in the face of the Chinese who still use nineteenth-century rifles, can suffer defeat, Alexander can not afford to do anything? Unforgivable!

I wanted to use the war against the Chinese in Asia to boost the morale of the country, whether it was bluffing or making a fool of myself, Prime Minister Churchill needed this war, and it was a battle that must be won, so as to use it to the world. The Germans, in particular, showed that the war potential of the British Empire was far from being exploited, in Asia, tens of thousands of kilometers away from home. There is also the ability to initiate a war on its own initiative.

However, defeated, defeated in the hands of the Chinese, all Churchill's wishful calculations fell through, and the face of the British Empire was lost, which was only a superficial evil result. The deeper evil consequence is that the weakness of the British Empire is completely exposed, and this qiē is caused by Alexander, who has not achieved enough things and has more than enough failures, and Churchill at this time has already killed Alexander.

But Churchill was a sophisticated politician by his side. There is no shortage of shrewd people, and there are more than 80,000 troops stationed in India, which need to be brought back to India. At this time, if Alexander is disposed of and the generals are killed in battle, it will certainly have a turbulent impact on the troops at the beginning of the defeat, so that the remaining officers and soldiers of the army stationed in India who retreat to India will be in danger for everyone, and no one can guarantee what unpredictable consequences will happen.

Therefore. In the name of the wartime Prime Minister, Churchill ordered the General Staff to issue an order that the troops stationed in India would remain under the command of Commander Alexander for the time being, and his post would be temporarily retained. The only task is to ensure that more than 80,000 people are safely returned to India.

Behind the scenes, Churchill ordered the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff to form a joint team, send competent senior officers, rush to India, and once Alexander and the remnants of the troops arrived in India, immediately arrest Alexander, remove all the senior officers, and the members of the team sent by London took over all the command of the army in India, and began to purge the troops.

As for the lieutenant general he recommended, Churchill didn't even have the mood to think about it, and sneered in his heart, "Alexander made a good calculation and recommended his chief of staff to take over the position of commander, wouldn't that be a change of soup and not a change of medicine, Adams has the grace of your recommendation, and he still doesn't treat you as a benefactor?" Indirectly, the troops stationed in India are still in their own hands. ”…,

The scheming Churchill will never give Alexander, who has embarrassed himself, any chance to make a comeback, in all fairness, Churchill is a little too sensitive, villainous, no matter how unbearable Alexander is, how defeated again and again, in his bones, he is still an orthodox Englishman, and he will never do these stealing things.

Helplessly, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill himself is a politician who is good at playing tricks and intrigues in an endless stream, and in his understanding, what Alexander did must be a conspiracy, but in the eyes of his big conspirator, this kind of trick is too pediatric, since Churchill has such a mind, Alexander's tragic fate can be imagined.

The order of the General Staff of the British Army was soon conveyed, and in the hands of Alexander, who was still in the Hukang River Valley, looking at the telegram from the highest military command organ in the homeland, Alexander rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and then, shed tears of excitement, he did not expect that the defeat would be so miserable, and the country still trusted him so much.

Alexander secretly swore in his heart, "The rest of these troops, no matter what, must all be brought back to India, in their lifetime, to train another elite division for the British Empire, although there is no hope of revenge for Tang Qiu, that is also the capital of the younger generations, one day, the British Empire's rice flag will still fly on the land of Indochina." ”

Alexander, who had been lying down for a few days, suddenly came to his senses, and actually got out of bed by himself, looking quite energetic, and it seemed that a telegram from China, like a panacea, made his heart sick.

Looking at the refreshed Commander, Chief of Staff Adams on the side, he felt a faint sense of loss in his heart, how could the result of the matter be like this? Was it his own bad luck, or was Alexander's luck too good? The telegram from the General Staff did not even have a word of accusation or reprimand, and the matter of the defeat of northern Burma was gently revealed, which Adams did not expect.

Alexander looked at Adams, who was a little distracted, and said, "Dear Adams, you have worked hard for the past few days, now, immediately convey my order, the troops must not stay in Xinduo for too long, after replenishing supplies, set off immediately, in addition, leave a full brigade of troops in Xinduo, build fortifications, and prepare to block Tang Qiuli's troops who are chasing after them." ”

"I have a hunch that the hateful and despicable Chinese, his troops, are not far from us, so, Adams, leave all the heavy weapons and as much supplies and ammunition as possible to the Xindo defenders, whose task is to hold off the pursuing troops of the Independent Division for more than three days in Xindo, and then, can decide for themselves the route and way of retreat!"

Adams agreed in poor spirits, and Alexander didn't think much about it, thinking that his chief of staff, who had been overworked in the past few days, continued with concern: "Dear Adams, after you are done with this, you go to rest, by the way, and, immediately send a telegram to Brest, the commander of the garrison of Sido, to prepare the supplies and supplies needed by the troops in advance, that confused fellow, must tell him!" ”

Adams was busy conveying the order, walked out of the tent full of the smell of potions, crossed his hands on his waist, and looked at the western part of the Hukang River Valley, full of verdant, the Hukang River was flowing eastward, a few days ago, his own troops, like a bamboo, all the way forward, that would think, now, but gloomy retreat, when coming, thousands of troops, momentum like a tiger, when returning, the remnants of the army defeated, depressed, life is really impermanent!

Alexander shook his head, and tried his best to expel these bad feelings from his mind, "In five more days, you can reach the Puram area of East India safely, Tang Qiuli's troops, if they don't catch up, he will lose the last chance, five days, it only takes five days, Tang Qiuli, my hatred with you can't be dissolved!" ”…,

Alexander, who gritted his teeth and hated Tang Qiuli, thought that the troops of the independent division did not chase closely, which was the luck of himself and more than 80,000 remnants, it can be seen that Alexander's thinking is still at the level of the First World War period, and he only knows the first line of flat pushing, parallel pursuit, and self-proclaimed Chinese expert, how can he understand the essence of the ancient Chinese art of war?

Just when the remnants of the British and Indian armies were resting and taking a breath in Xinduo, they surrounded and annihilated the troops of the eight brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, more than 100,000 people, along the route of the Anglo-Indian army when they invaded northern Burma, with the Hukang River valley as the center, divided into four roads in the north and south, and slammed into the west.

In order to gain time for the troops of the Sulu Mobile Corps, interspersed with Sido, the twelve brigades of the directly subordinate corps pursued along the valley of the Hukang River deliberately slowed down, and the two vanguard regiments, keeping a two-day distance from the Anglo-Indian army, once again created an illusion for Alexander that the pursuing troops of the independent division were still far away from him, otherwise, in the case of a hasty retreat, he would not have been able to order the troops to rest for more than a day in Xinduo.

Beginning on the morning of 29 April, the transport aircraft units of the Southern Flying Group of the Independent Division began to airdrop large quantities of equipment, supplies, and ammunition, as well as equipment for building blocking fortifications, to Sido.

The airdrop flight path deliberately avoided the airspace of the Hukang River Valley, and without alarm, the Anglo-Indian troops retreating along the Hukang River Valley, the transport plane unit set up a supply line in the air, and as soon as the airstrip was completed and the transport planes could take off and land, they formed a field hospital, a large number of doctors, nurses, medical equipment, and so on, and arrived at random, and established a perfect field ambulance base in the hidden mountains north of Sido.

Subsequently, there were four heavy artillery regiments and three rocket artillery battalions of heavy equipment, which were continuously airlifted to Xiduo, and in accordance with the requirements of division commander Tang Qiuli, the three brigades of Xiduo blocked more than 80,000 British and Indian troops for four days and four nights without backup, without suffering losses.

The troops of the independent division were far away from the retreating British and Indian troops, but this did not mean that Tang Qiuli could let Alexander and his remnants be defeated and go to Xido comfortably.
