After Shang Jinzhu fired a rocket, he immediately put away the bazooka, took the ammunition hand, and immediately moved to another crater, steadily propped up the bazooka, aimed at the target, and another British tank, black smoke and flames came out all over his body.

Just after Shang Jinzhu shot, when all the British tanks stopped, another group of bazookas fired at the same time, and several British tanks were hit, however, Shang Jinzhu also exposed his position, and the British tanks that were not hit, the barrel spewed out a stream of flames, "Boom, boom!" "Several low-trajectory shells exploded at the location of Shang Jinzhu.

The ammunition hand was shocked to the point that his head was "buzzing", and when he came to his senses, he found that his platoon commander was lying in the crater covered in blood, and the ammunition hand crawled over, Shang Jinzhu was already unconscious, his left leg disappeared without a trace from below the knee, and he didn't know how many wounds there were on his body, and he was still holding the rocket launcher that had been blown up tightly.

Adams was startled by several loud explosions, and hurriedly raised his binoculars, in the lens, the tanks participating in the first wave of the attack, without exception, ignited a raging fire, and the ammunition exploded, and the invulnerable steel fortress was blown into a ball of fire, which was extremely dazzling in the night.

Adams sighed, and in an inaudible voice, muttered, "It's finally begun!" Then, close your eyes and wait for the cannonballs to fall from the sky and send yourself to heaven.

However, after a few minutes, nothing happened, the gunfire on the battlefield was still intense, Adams could hear that none of them were the sound of heavy artillery shelling, he was puzzled, and asked a few senior staff officers around him, "Can any of you sue me, what the hell is going on?" Why did the troops of the separate division not use artillery, then how were our tanks destroyed? ”

No one could answer, and Adams himself was even more confused. What did the commander of the independent division of Sido, who did not use heavy artillery, want to do? The thoughts of the sinister and cunning Chinese can never be guessed by themselves.

Command post of the 10th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps. The brigade commander, Major General Wang Yiwu, put down the phone with an ugly face and said to the chief of staff: "You say, what kind of battle is this fighting?" The tanks of the British came up, and most of the bazooka squads of our various companies had casualties, and I received a call from the commander of the second regiment. Shang Jinzhu, the platoon leader of the machine gun platoon of the third company of their first battalion, lost a leg and is now in first aid! Whether you can survive or not is a matter of two words! ”

After speaking, he was like a sleepy beast, took a few turns in the command post, and then said: "No, I have to ask the division commander, our artillery." If you don't fight the infantry of the Anglo-Indian army, can't you fight tanks? I can't let my soldiers trade their lives for a few British tanks, right? ”

The chief of staff shook his head with a wry smile. said: "Brigade commander, don't bother, I just saw the order of the division commander, the two artillery brigades, as well as the heavy artillery regiment of our brigade, have been transferred to the direction of the East Indies, no, the order is in my hands!" ”

Wang Yiwu snatched the order, and after reading it, he patted his head and said distressedly: "What is the division commander going to do?" The transfer of two artillery brigades does not count. I also transferred my heavy artillery regiment away, is it possible to clean up the tens of thousands of British and Indian soldiers on the opposite side and rely on these guys in my hands? It's a really boring battle! ”

Then, to the chief of staff, it was said: "Order the forward troops." Without my order, you can't attack, just stick to your position, that regiment has suffered heavy casualties, and the regiment commander came to me to explain! ”

With the Anglo-Indian tanks, all of which became a pile of burning scrap metal, the Anglo-Indian soldiers who had lost cover were staggered by a burst of dense mortar shells and heavy machine gun bullets, and half an hour later, the Anglo-Indian soldiers who attacked Sido, leaving behind thousands of corpses and dozens of burning tanks, had to retreat. …,

The British and Indian soldiers, without the fierce spirit of the Japanese soldiers, fought such a battle, especially at night, which was not what they were good at, and the blocking positions of the independent division, the bullets were as dense as a torrential rain, constantly screaming and falling mortar shells, and in the night, they drew dark red ballistic tracks and exploded into dead smoke and flames.

Even if they had the courage, the comrades around them, with the smoke and screaming bullets, turned into fragmented corpses, or bloody people covered in holes, and one life disappeared before their eyes, and the confidence of the British and Indian soldiers was shaken, and the little fierceness that was puffed up at the beginning had long since disappeared after losing the cover of tanks and artillery fire.

Looking at the soldiers who retreated like a tide, Adams went crazy, he kept ordering the troops, attacking or attacking, combining the disabled troops, and then attacking, he wanted to fill the land of Sido with the corpses of his own soldiers, and drown the soldiers of the independent division with blood, and the bloody battle was fought all night, and the guns rang out all night.

The Anglo-Indian army fought very hard, in contrast, the five brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps of the Independent Division fought very easily, after destroying all the tanks of the Anglo-Indian army, the blocking battle became easy, and without the armored assault force, it became very easy to repel every attack of the Anglo-Indian army.

Because of the limited terrain conditions of Xiduo, and in addition, it is only necessary to defend the eastern part of the Hukang River valley, and each brigade can only put one regiment of troops on the defensive position at a time, and each brigade has four regiments, which take turns to go into battle, and when they repel an attack, they will be replaced to rest.

At more than three o'clock in the morning that night, after Tang Qiuli slept beautifully, he got up refreshed, did a few activities around him, and walked out of the house, the warm evening breeze of the Hukang River Valley, mixed with the smell of gunsmoke, drifted in the night, on the streets of Xiduo, from time to time there were teams of soldiers, running by, but there was no tense atmosphere at all.

Listening to the fierce gunfire in the east of Sido, looking at the fire that reflected half of the sky, and the huge explosion echoing in the night sky, Tang Qiu couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly thought to himself, "When did Alexander become so crazy, what stimulated him to lose his mind?" Since about 6 o'clock yesterday evening, the British and Indian troops began to attack, and it has been almost ten hours since the fighting, and the attack has not stopped. ”

For Alexander, this was an offensive with no chance of victory, his own troops, with five brigades of nearly 80,000 people, held on to the danger, and waited for work, with sufficient ammunition and provisions, that is, they fought for three days and three nights without stopping, and the troops did not worry about the lack of ammunition, and Le Yiqin's transport aircraft troops could be replenished by air at any time.

And what capital does Alexander have? What is the point of the defeated and retreating troops, the long march, the soldiers who have been repeatedly attacked by air raids, their physical strength and morale have dropped to the lowest point, they have lost all their artillery and tanks, and they are still attacking Sido like this? Can't he see that his troops in Xido are just to block his retreat, how can he give up lightly, Tang Qiuli can't help but feel that Alexander's approach is not worth it.

Listening to the sound of gunfire, Tang Qiuli's heart began to heat up, and he turned back to the mountain tiger who was following closely and said, "Huzi, bring a few special guards, how about we go to the front line?" Let's go to Wang Yiwu of the 10th Brigade! Almost all night, that guy doesn't know what to look like? ”

Shanhu grinned and said, "Xiaoqiu, is your heart itching again?" Why don't we go straight to the front line? Participate in battles, and if you're lucky, you can fight for a while, so it's so much fun! ”…,

Tang Qiuli glanced at Shanhu vigilantly, and said, "Huzi, don't tempt me, I just left with my front foot, and you will immediately go to Brother Qiusheng to tell the truth, right?" When did you learn to be cunning? ”

The two of them were arguing, and the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe came over and said: "Division commander, I received a telegram from Deputy Division Commander Tang that the two vanguard regiments of the 10th Brigade and the 9th Brigade of the Corps directly under the Corps have arrived close to Xiduo, and the follow-up troops can arrive at their current position at about 8 o'clock this morning." ”

Tang Qiuli said: "Come very quickly, Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan, I heard that Xiduo was fighting, these two people, maybe what kind of hurry they will become, what else does Deputy Division Commander Tang have?" ”

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Deputy Division Commander Tang said in the telegram that he intends to launch an attack on the British and Indian troops with the two vanguard regiments of the 9th and 10th Brigades at about 5 o'clock in the morning, attacking their rear flank, so as to relieve the pressure of the Western Resistance Battle, and at the same time, press Alexander, and ask for help from the Indian army as much as possible. ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said affirmatively: "This is not what Brother Qiusheng meant, it must be Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan, seeing that Xiduo is fighting hot, his hands are itchy, and he will have such a deployment, otherwise, with Brother Qiusheng's steady personality and style, the main force directly under the corps will never launch any attack before it arrives, and he also knows that Xiduo has no pressure." ”

It really made Tang Qiuli guess, less than ten kilometers away from the Xiduo battlefield, Xiao Jinshan looked in the direction of Xiduo with his eyes, and talked to Fang Yuanshan, the commander of the 10th Brigade on the other side of the Hukang River Valley.

"I said the old side, I don't know the battle plan we reported, did Deputy Division Commander Tang approve it, Xiduo is fighting in full swing, we just watched, idle and panicked, our two reinforced regiments of nearly 9,000 people, taking advantage of the British and Indian soldiers to be unprepared, pumping cold and stabbing them in the back, you say, this effect, is not better than fighting in Xiduo for half a day?"

In a jungle on the other side of the Hukang River Valley, Fang Yuanshan drank water and said slowly: "Old Xiao, don't be too optimistic, Deputy Division Commander Tang and the division commander have different styles of commanding and fighting battles, seeking stability, our combat plan may not be approved, wait and see, even if it is a fight, I estimate that we will have to wait until the troops behind arrive." ”

Xiao Jinshan was in a hurry and said, "When they catch up, the cucumbers and vegetables will be cold," and as he was speaking, the gunfire in the direction of Xiduo suddenly weakened and gradually subsided.
