The early morning sun, warm sprinkled in the Hukang River Valley, Tang Qiuli, who had only slept for a few hours, walked out of the house in good spirits, and the sound of guns and cannons in Sido had completely dissipated, which meant that Alexander's tens of thousands of remnants had been completely surrounded in the line of Sido, and the matter here was over.

Since the beginning of the battle in northern Burma, the layout of more than 20 days, to today, the net has finally been closed, the progress of the campaign has not deviated from the track he expected, breathing the fresh air of the Hukang River Valley, looking at the direction of East India, the corners of Tang Qiuli's mouth showed a knowing smile.

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, following behind the division commander, he could feel that the division commander was in a very good mood today, which could be seen from the sunny smile on his lips.

For more than 20 days, following the division commander, seeing and experiencing with his own eyes, from the beginning of the battle to the present, every careful planning, anticipating the enemy's opportunities, and pre-layout, Zhao Yuhe was amazed by the division commander's perfect campaign command art, and his amazing foresight, he learned a lot from it, and it is a great blessing in life to follow such a commander and fight in all directions.

The sunshine, the morning breeze, the tranquility after a night of fierce fighting, and the faint smell of gunpowder in the air, this qiē constitutes a strange picture, and he is an important person in this picture.

Tang Qiuli turned his back to him and said: "Yuhe, the battle situation of Xiduo, basically, has become a foregone conclusion, if there is no extremely unexpected situation, the final battle of the Northern Burma Campaign will be carried out on the East India and East Pakistan front, after the battle, a local management agency will be established, are you interested, to be a local military and political chief?" That's the position of the feudal official! ”

Zhao Yuhe's heart was shocked, what was the division commander hinting at, the future local management of the East India and East Pakistan regions. In the heart of the division commander, he belongs to himself, and from another point of view, the division commander is interested in the upcoming East Indies War. Full of confidence in victory, he has assigned that vast land to his own name.

This hint is very tempting, to say that Zhao Yuhe is not moved, it is self-deception, that man has no ambition, no ambition to make a contribution. Jin Ge Iron Horse, fighting on the battlefield, fighting for fame before and after, and reaching the peak of personal power and reputation, this history has its own strong color and heavy ink, which is heart-pounding when you think about it.

Tang Qiuli didn't hear Zhao Yuhe's answer, turned around strangely, and saw it. It was his warm gaze, calm eyes, Zhao Yuhe replied with a smile: "Master." Yuhe is not arrogant, my mind is not on governing a place, Commander, I'm afraid your eyes are not only on East Pakistan and East India, right? ”

"If in the future, if you can't follow the division commander, gallop across the battlefield, and follow you to open up an unprecedented great cause, Yuhe will regret it for the rest of his life. Divisional commander, you don't want to change the chief of staff, do you? ”

The last sentence, Zhao Yuhe said it half-jokingly, Tang Qiuli understood his thoughts, in Tang Qiuli's heart, the chairman of the Military and Political Committee of the East India and East Pakistan region. Zhao Yuhe is the most suitable candidate, although he has only been in the position of division chief of staff for about a month, his talents, especially his comprehensive management and coordination ability, have been fully displayed.

In a certain aspect, his comprehensive essence is better than Chang Feng, Tang Qiuli did not continue this topic, and continued: "Yuhe, the battle situation in Xiduo has been decided, we should also go, the division headquarters immediately went to the East Indies region, and at the same time, informed Deputy Division Commander Tang of the situation of the division commander's trip to the region." ”…,

Adams, who was full of frustration and went to Alexandria, had no idea that his most feared opponent had been replaced.

Adams was startled at the sight of Commander Alexander, Your Excellency, described as withered, with blank eyes, if not for a general's uniform, no different from an old man in his old age.

Alexander raised his head and looked at the emaciated Adams, at this moment, the two actually had a feeling of sympathy for each other, relatively speechless, both of them knew what kind of situation they were facing, powerless to return to the sky, tied their hands and captured, humiliated to the Chinese, especially the Chinese Tang Qiuli who hated him the most, it seemed to be an insoluble death situation.

Although they all had such thoughts, no one spoke first, but Adams broke the silence and said: "Your Excellency, our situation is very dangerous, and I will not tell you that in the early hours of this morning, the troops of our independent division, which were pursued along the end of the Hukang River valley, reached Sido, and now the situation is that we have been surrounded in this small area of Sido. ”

"Breaking through, no matter which direction we go to break through, there is no possibility, we have lost all our tanks and artillery, ammunition and provisions, and it is not enough to support a long-term hold, the morale of the soldiers is no longer able to launch even an offensive breakthrough operation, in the face of such a situation, Your Excellency Commander, I hope you can have the safest way to save our troops!"

Looking at the bitterness and dazedness on his face, he completely lost the kind of high-spirited Lieutenant General Adams when he had just taken over as acting commander, Alexander's face twitched a few times, exhaled a breath of turbidity in his heart, and said: "Adams, the current bad situation is something none of us want to see, and you don't have to blame yourself." ”

"Perhaps, from the moment we sent troops to northern Burma, we fell into the trap of that sinister and cunning Chinese, the cabinet, including Prime Minister Churchill, they are all tens of thousands of miles away and do not understand the actual situation in Southeast Asia, if you want to be held responsible, I am the first one who cannot shirk, and you, Adams, after all, are under command and in danger, and all the soldiers and officers you have done are obvious to all."

Adams had a lot of emotion in his heart, but this was not what he needed to hear the most, if he could return to the East Indies safely, Alexander's words just now were enough to make him remember for a lifetime, but now, how to solve the crisis he was facing, therefore, Alexander's words were a little marginal and irrelevant.

Glancing at Adams, whose worries and dazedness had not diminished in the slightest, Alexander continued: "The only way to get out of our current situation is to immediately ask the cabinet for help!" Ask for immediate reinforcements to break Tang Qiuli's encirclement, only in this way can we avoid the end of the total annihilation. ”

Adams was shocked, the light of hope flashed in his eyes, and then dimmed again, and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, your opinion is the only feasible way at present, but you also know that our time does not allow, not to mention, the situation on the mainland is not very optimistic, the Germans have soldiers in the English Channel, and the defense of the homeland is already stretched, and the country will not send reinforcements!" ”

Alexander sighed inaudibly, and thought to himself: "A series of blows have made Adams, who has a clear mind and quick thinking, chaotic, desperate and helpless, enough to destroy all his confidence and courage. ”

Alexander's train of thought said very clearly: "Adams, don't expect that the country will send troops across the ocean, that is unrealistic, don't forget, we are in the East Indies, there are still more than 100,000 troops that can be mobilized, and, according to the battle situation in the past few days, Tang Qiuli's troops who blocked us in Xiduo are not too many, and this is the only place that can be used." ”…,

As the so-called "authorities are confused," Alexander's words woke up the dreamer Adams, and his blocked train of thought suddenly became clear, yes, why didn't I think of it?

The defenders of the independent division of Sido, under extremely favorable circumstances, did not pursue the victory, which fully proved this point, the commander of the independent division, afraid of leaving the position that could be relied on, after being counterattacked by us, the troops were consumed too much, unable to hold on to Sido, fought all night, and could not hold out, not that the Chinese did not want to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but that they were unable to do so.

At present, the only thing to worry about is that the independent division troops pursuing from the direction of northern Burma, and the eastern rejection of the pursuing troops is the focus of the current defense, and the independent division defenders who are monitoring the west are not impossible, once the reinforcements from the east Indian direction arrive, the two will work together to open the west of the country, and it is not impossible, as soon as Adams's train of thought is opened, a battle plan will be formed in an instant.

As long as you can withstand the chasing soldiers from the east and hold on for a few days, there will be a turnaround, and it is also very possible to break through the siege, looking at Adams, who was eager to sweep away the decadent Tang Dynasty, Alexander couldn't help but nod a few more words.

He said: "How to ask for reinforcements and make the senior officials in the country and the General Staff realize that they must do their best to rescue us, otherwise, the situation in India will inevitably deteriorate to the point of irreparability, this is a very skillful question, so that the country can understand that the current situation is no longer a matter of trade-offs." ”

"Adams, we must be clear that judging from Tang Qiuli's current practice, Chen Bing is in the border area of East India, which fully proves that his ambition, or the ambition of the Chinese, is not only in northern Myanmar, or the Indochina Peninsula, or the South Asian subcontinent, is the next target he is involved in.

Adams sincerely admired, Jiang is still old and spicy, and a few words from His Excellency the Commander have the finishing touch, so that the situation of fiction and alarmism, as soon as it is reported to the country, it is impossible for the cabinet not to pay attention to it, and even the chickens and dogs are not sure, the South Asian subcontinent, which is the last overseas territory of the British Empire, must not be lost.

Does the cabinet have a reason not to send reinforcements? Of course not, Adams respectfully gave Alexander a military salute and turned to leave.
