On the night of 25 April, all the airfields of the British Air Force stationed in India were nervously busy because of an order from Commander Bright, the overhaulers were busy like oil monkeys, and the staff officers and operations departments were busy drawing up tomorrow's flight plans and surprise attack plans.

Lieutenant General Bright himself personally sent a telegram back to Commander Alexander: "Your Excellency, the Air Force of the Indian Army will, in accordance with your orders, dispatch all fighters and bombers to complete the surprise attack on the Chinese bombers bombing our ground forces at about eight o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

Brett played a little trick cunningly, he knew very well that Myitkyina was Leyiqin's aviation base, and all the fighters of the Southern Flight Group of the Independent Division were concentrated there, and his own plane was tantamount to pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth.

As for what Alexander would think, Bright thought that he had faithfully carried out his orders and sent out all the planes of the Air Force stationed in India, and that old guy would not push people too much, right? Many words had to bomb Myitkyina by themselves.

Indeed, after receiving Bright's telegram, Alexander, who was camping in the Hukang River Valley, was still in a very happy mood, first smiling happily, and then, not without a proud thought: "That timid and cunning Bright has finally been forced to take out his own money, as for what targets his plane wants to bomb, that is his business, let him make up his own mind!" ”

Alexander is still very self-aware and unfamiliar with the field. It's better not to meddle, otherwise, it's easy to get into trouble, actually. As long as Brett can do it, let Tang Qiuli's bomber not drop bombs on the heads of his own soldiers and affect the speed of the troops' marching, with the joy of subduing Bright, after drinking a glass of whiskey, His Excellency the commander fell asleep contentedly.

On the night of April 25th. In the northern Burma campaign headquarters of the Independent Division, in the small town of Magao in northern Burma, the lights were bright, the "ticking" of the radio station, the rapid chirping of the telephone bell, and the correspondents and staff officers were coming in and out. It's a tense and hectic situation.

Tang Qiuli was in the war room, looking at a few telegrams, and Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe was busy with the combat staff officers. After checking all kinds of numbers, Liu Xinlan walked in cautiously with a bowl of steaming soup, and after putting it in front of him, her face was painful, and she kept blowing her fingers, which alarmed Tang Qiuli, who was working at the desk.

Tang Qiuli raised his head, saw Liu Xinlan's frowning appearance, put down the telegram in his hand, and complained distressedly: "Why are you so careless." I'll see, have you burned your fingers? As he spoke, he was going to pull Liu Xinlan's little hand.

Liu Xinlan puffed out her small mouth, but she put her little hands behind her back and said angrily: "Didn't you let you drink it while it was hot, and go to the stranger's house." Before coming to northern Myanmar, Sister Xue told me, you must take care of you, if someone loses a few pounds, I can't afford to be guilty! ”

Tang Qiuli noticed that a bowl of fragrant and hot soup, a few fresh mushrooms, and some unknown wild vegetables, emerald green, and of course, his favorite meat, exuding an attractive aroma, Tang Qiuli's index finger moved, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked, "Xinlan, the things you got there taste very unusual?" ”

Liu Xinlan replied with a little pride: "I'll go to the mountain behind and pick it for you, the special guards have beaten a few pheasants, see that you haven't been busy in the past two days, and make up for your body, but I've been busy in the kitchen for more than two hours, drink it while it's hot, how about it taste, if it's good, I'll make it for you tomorrow!" ”…,

Tang Qiuli took the spoon handed over by Liu Xinlan, took a big sip, closed his eyes, enjoyed his face, and said intoxicatedly: "Delicious, the beauty holds the soup, the jade hand mixes the soup, and the ingredients are selected from the natural wild, it is really delicious in the world!" ”

Seeing Tang Qiuli shaking his head and looking like he was in trouble, Liu Xinlan almost bent down with a smile, panting and said, "Sour, sour!" When chatting with Sister Xue, I told you, you sometimes love to drop the text, I still don't believe it, this time I saw it with my own eyes, it is even more powerful than what Sister Xue said, and it is even better! ”

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe hurriedly came over, holding a stack of telegrams, and just shouted "Division Commander", when suddenly his nose twitched a few times, and said, "It's so fragrant, Division Commander, what are you drinking?" He saw the bowl of soup on the table.

Tang Qiuli vigilantly took the soup in his hand and replied, "Chief of Staff Zhao, if you have something to say, don't care too much about the rest!" ”

Zhao Yuhe smiled, and before he could speak, Liu Xinlan on the side said: "Look at your stinginess, Chief of Staff Zhao, I'll go find a bowl and serve some for you, this is what I boiled for the division commander, you taste it!" ”

Zhao Yuhe said with a smile: "Staff Officer Liu, this is what you specially boiled for the division commander, I don't have this mouthful, didn't you see the vigilance on the face of the division commander?" ”。 After speaking, she laughed, and Liu Xinlan couldn't help laughing.

Tang Qiuli finished drinking the soup and asked, "Yuhe, is there anything wrong?" ”。

Zhao Yuhe said while sorting out the telegram in his hand: "Division commander, it is the Sulu Mobile Corps, interspersed with calls from the four brigades of Sido, which have already set off an hour ago in accordance with the order of the division commander, and in addition, the troops of the eight brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps, which are responsible for setting up ambushes in the direction of Ledo, Sugia, Gamai, and Xintaiji, can arrive at the designated position at about 10 o'clock this evening, and the 9th and 10th brigades directly under the corps will call, and they will meet the main force of the British and Indian troops in the Xinduo area of the Hukang River Valley at about 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Okay, the deployment of the campaign has been carried out according to the original plan, send another telegram to the four brigade troops interspersed with Xiduo, and tell them that the main thing is to conceal the intention, and the battle of Magao will take a few days to start, and there is plenty of time and time, by the way, Xiao Jinshan of the Ninth Brigade and Wu Zhenjiang of the Tenth Brigade have anything to build?" ”

Zhao Yuhe looked at the telegram and replied: "Brigade Commander Xiao and Brigade Commander Wu Jian Yì, can the troops fight hard with the British and Indian troops in Xinduo and kill their sharpness?" For this idea, the two brigade commanders made full preparations, and suddenly killed from the dense forests on both sides of the Hukang River valley in the form of an ambush, and after dark, the troops disengaged from the British and Indian troops and retreated! ”

Tang Qiuli shook his head and said categorically: "No! The 9th and 10th Brigades, mainly tired British and Indian troops, were originally to attack more with less, in case they were entangled and surrounded by the superior forces of the British and Indian troops, it would be very dangerous for them, and it would also destroy the entire campaign plan. ”

"Telegraph to Xiao Jinshan and Wu Zhenjiang, act according to the established campaign plan, fight more in Xin, and leave, to ensure a principle, before the heavy artillery units of the British and Indian armies have not yet reacted, withdraw from the battlefield, if because of their two command mistakes, or if they are eager to fight, and the casualties of the guide troops are too large, I only ask the two of them!"

Zhao Yuhe recorded them one by one, and said with a smile: "As soon as this telegram is sent, the two brigade commanders Xiao and Wu, I don't know how disappointed they will be?" They were holding back their energy and wanted to do a big job! ”

Zhao Yuhe was just about to send a telegram, but was stopped by Tang Qiuli again, "Yuhe, wait a minute, record the following order, Commander Tang of the Independent Division Navy Fleet, after receiving the order, send a task force of no less than two aircraft carriers to the waters of the Eastern Indian Ocean to carry out combat missions, and the specific tasks will be sent to you during the voyage, in addition, the fleet should carry no less than three brigades of marines and act together." ”…,

Zhao Yuhe was stunned for a moment, looked at Tang Qiuli and asked, "Commander, ...... are you?" ”

Tang Qiu walked a few steps away from the military map, pointed to the eastern Indian Ocean and said: "Yuhe, our eyes should not just be on land, since we have torn our faces by fighting with the British, then, the so-called Allied Treaty, for me, there are no restrictions, not to mention, only allow the British to attack us, we are not allowed to fight over!" ”

"There is no such reason in the world, so I have decided not only to kill all the main forces of the British army in India in the Magao and Hukang River Valleys, but also to take down the Andaman Islands, Nicobar Islands, and Sri Lanka Islands in the Bay of Bengal occupied by the British, and extend our sphere of influence to the southernmost tip of the South Asian subcontinent."

Zhao Yuhe said with a bit of a stutter: "Division commander, the land and sea sides will start at the same time, and that is a full-scale war against the British!" Will there be a ripple effect? He thought about the appetite and intentions of the division commander, but he never thought that the division commander's appetite was terrifying, if a campaign was launched like this, and the land and sea would attack, and the British occupied India, would it be the second Indochina Peninsula? Included in the scope of control of independent divisions?

Zhao Yuhe was taken aback by his own thoughts, the teacher's approach was too crazy, right? The Northeast confronted the Japanese Kwantung Army, Outer Mongolia and the Soviet Army, the Malay Peninsula was still the Japanese army, the encirclement and annihilation of the British and Indian armies that were about to begin, and the plan to occupy the islands in the South Pacific, which was the sphere of influence of the Americans.

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Yuhe, I'm not as crazy as you imagined, as far as the battle of the British and Indian armies is concerned, it is not a question of whether we want to go to war in an all-out way, but the British have poured all their strength into the Indian army to attack our northern Burma region, and then plot the entire Indochina Peninsula to contain the British forces in the South Asian subcontinent, just for them, and they can't act rashly in the future!" ”
