Chapter 1465: Siege without attacking is fishing

Xiao Jinshan, commander of the 9th Brigade of the Corps directly under the division, and Fang Yuanshan, commander of the 10th Brigade, have this entanglement in their hearts, since they entered the Hukang River Valley, they have not fought a decent battle.

If you want to say that you were caught, it is not accurate, people are automatically sent to the door, and the attitude is very careful and sincere, as if you are afraid of not being captured. {}

Looking at the demeanor of these guys, it was like seeing relatives, waving white flags, with smiling faces, on the trees on both sides of the highway, there were also white flags, and even more, there were no white flags, and they took out white sheets, and hung them decently, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to see them, the guns were stacked neatly, and the brains of the British and Indian soldiers were not burned, right?

Several officers, with the rank of colonel, limped to see the faces of Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan, first "snapped" a military force, and then, muttered a lot of foreign words, as if they had taken a big advantage, the two of them were a little dizzy, fortunately, in the division's troops, there was no shortage of officers who knew English, and after a few words, they figured out the reason.

Looking at the wounded soldiers of the British and Indian Army who were covered in bandages, half-dead and radiant, Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan had two big heads, thousands of people, if they were all taken away, my vanguard regiment would not have to do anything else, and it would simply be changed into a prisoner of war camp.

As soon as the two of them calculated, they simply sent a telegram to the division commander, such a troublesome matter should be handed over to the troops in front to deal with!

After receiving the telegram from the two, Tang Qiuli was overjoyed, not because of the wounded soldiers of the British and Indian troops, but because of those military doctors and nurses, with the increasing expansion of the division and troops, there were no achievements in weapons and equipment, but the experienced doctors and nurses in the field hospital were in short supply, and they were cheating. The British education process is far greater than that of the rest of the world.

Although the Military Medical University of the Dingbian Special Economic Zone recruits a large number of cadets every year, it still cannot keep up with the development trend of the troops. These captured British military doctors and nurses were exactly what the troops urgently needed, and they were gifts from Alexander to me.

As for the wounded soldiers, they are also very useful. It was a bargaining chip for negotiations with the British, and Tang Qiuli immediately ordered Lieutenant General Zhang Quan, head of the logistics department of the division, to send a special person to deal with the matter, and all the wounded soldiers were treated, and the military doctors and nurses were placed separately, in a word. After a few months, to become a teacher, of course. The cost of treatment will be recorded in the account, and when the time comes, it will be calculated together with the British!

By 5 May, the troops of the eight brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps had finally penetrated to Sido eight hours earlier, and at this time, Alexander's tens of thousands of troops were still under the indiscriminate bombardment of Le Yiqin. The turtle crawled ordinary, with an obsession, and retreated towards Sido.

On 6 May, Tang Qiuli issued an order for the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th Brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps to march from the west to the East Indies. In the vicinity of Simpson and Ramgar, concealed, waiting for orders, the 8th and 9th Brigades, together with the 10th, 11th, and 12th Brigades, which had been in Sido for a few days, a total of five brigades, were waiting for Alexander's troops to hit the wall in Sido.

At this time, his attention was on Alexander, who was no longer a turtle in the urn, but on the other units of the British and Indian armies in India, which was the last bit of essence of the British Empire in the South Asian subcontinent, and it was also the purpose of Tang Qiuli's next move.

Alexander's remnants, once blocked in Sido, the British and Indian troops in India should not sit idly by and watch tens of thousands of soldiers, just near the border of East India, being annihilated by himself, and will definitely do their best to come to the rescue, Tang Qiuli hopes that British Prime Minister Churchill can do this, it is better to do so. …,

On 7 May, Tang Qiuli handed over the command of the corps directly under him to Tang Qiushu, deputy division commander who had arrived from Yangon, and he took Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff, Huang Shanhu, captain of the guard brigade, and members of the division headquarters to Xiduo by plane to form the East India Campaign Headquarters.

According to the development of the war situation, the Northern Burma Campaign was divided into two parts, one part was in Sido, besieging Alexander's tens of thousands of remnants, and the secondary part, in East India, the purpose of the battle was to come to the rescue of Alexander's British troops in India, and the last troops, Alexander was the bait, and the British and Indian troops who came were fat.

Before leaving, on the temporary field airfield in Xinduo, Tang Qiuli took the hand of Tang Qiusheng, who had just gotten off the plane, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiusheng, I didn't plan to bother you to come all the way, but there have been new changes in the battle situation, the East Indies need to be personally in charge, that is your old army, you should go, and you can use it casually, but the campaign plan is formulated by Yuhe, and I will do it for you!" ”

Tang Qiusheng looked at his cousin with satisfaction, nodded and said: "Fortunately, my health is good, when I came, Mei Xue asked me to bring a lot of good things, all on the plane, you are also in a hurry, a telegram, without even the time to prepare, flew to northern Myanmar, Mei Xue is a lot of complaints!" ”

Tang Qiuli smiled and said: "Brother Qiusheng, the play you sang in Yangon, but it made Alexander suffer a lot, Mei Si Kailing an ambush battle, he was dizzy, at this moment, Le Yiqin's bombers, and bombing day and night, enough for Alexander, by the way, Brother Qiusheng, about the situation of the Xiduo battlefield in the Northern Burma Campaign, let Yuhe introduce it, Yuhe!" Yuwa! ”

Tang Qiuli shouted a few times, Zhao Yuhe, who usually never left an inch, was not by his side, Tang Qiusheng said: "Don't shout, Yuhe and Yu Guanghan, I'm afraid that there was a handover at the end at this time, Xiaoqiu, what are my old troops, aren't they all your subordinates, just the dozen or so brigade commanders under me, who haven't been trained under you?" ”

After Tang Qiusheng finished speaking, both of them laughed, indeed, the brigade commanders of the division's corps, including the corps commander, are all old men who went out of the original bloody hand regiment, and there are quite a few of them, or the companions who went out of Tang's nest together, and they have become senior generals of the division after years of work.

The two brothers are talking, Zhao Yuhe and Yu Guanghan, there is a past of talking and laughing, both of them are from the division chief of staff, when Zhao Yuhe served as the director, Yu Guanghan was the deputy director, an old acquaintance for many years, the personal relationship between the two is very good, and the work is also a relative tacit understanding, but later, Zhao Yuhe was transferred to Liu Tiehan's East Command Army as the chief of staff, and the liaison was less.

After Zhao Yuhe was transferred back to the division headquarters as chief of staff, the two met for the first time, old friends met, and there were endless words, but the division commander and the deputy division commander were waiting at the airport, one had just arrived, and the other was about to leave, so there was time to talk about personal friendship, so after Zhao Yuhe introduced the situation at length, he hurriedly left the airport, and he was about to follow the division commander Tang Qiuli and fly to Xiduo.

As soon as Yu Guanghan saw Tang Qiuli, he first saluted, "Hello division commander!" Then, at the end, he complained, "Division commander, this is not fair, Alexander, this old thing, has been cleaned up by a few tricks by you, and has become a ripe persimmon, which will fall off when touched, such cowardice, you let the deputy division commander and me clean it up, it is not combative, is this unfair?" Divisional commander, let's negotiate, what about me and the deputy division commander going to the East Indies? ”

Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Guanghan, I can't be the master of this, the East India battle plan is all done by your old subordinates, and the secondary Chief of Staff Zhao agrees, I have no opinion, what kind of Yuhe, you can decide!" ”…,

Zhao Yuhe just smiled quietly, and did not speak, but gave Yu Guanghan a look, which means, you go to grind the master, Yu Guanghan saw it, and knew that there was no play, Zhao Yuhe's addiction to war was bigger than himself, how could he give up casually at such an opportunity, but he was also quite satisfied, there was a fight, it was better than nesting in Yangon.

Tang Qiuli looked at his watch and said: "Brother Qiusheng, Guanghan, the battle of Xiduo, besiege but not attack, the fight is fire, for the purpose of fishing out other units of the British and Indian army, okay, Yuhe and I should go!" ”

Tang Qiuli's plane flew along the Hukang River valley in the direction of the west, and Le Yiqin sent two squadrons of fighter planes to escort it, knowing that there was no risk in the sky over northern Myanmar and even East India, but Le Yiqin insisted on doing this in line with the criterion of being careful and not making a big mistake, Tang Qiusheng was also not accommodating, there was no way, he could only follow their wishes.

Once in the early summer, in the Hukang River Valley, not a month ago, the pale green color, but everywhere is a kind of emerald green full of vitality, looking down from the porthole of the plane, full of verdant, bright sunshine, the Hukang River is like a shining streamer, stretching into the distance, refreshing.

However, from time to time, what has been reflected in the field of vision is the barren red soil, crooked trees, and pieces of scorched, some bad scenery, no need to ask, it is the masterpiece of the Le Yiqin bomber, Tang Qiuli looked at it, and was secretly surprised, Le Yiqin, this guy, on the top of Alexander's head, how many bombs were dropped?

Tang Qiuli also deliberately inspected it, and found no trace of the soldiers of the British and Indian troops at all, he really didn't know, how did those bomber pilots find out the purpose?

On the way, they happened to encounter a group of bombers returning home in a formation after the bombing, and met the landline of the division commander Tang Qiuli, and the pilots of Qiē, all of whom were overjoyed; under the order of the commander of the formation, each bomber shook its wings a few times towards his landline, which was the highest etiquette of the air force.

Tang Qiuli's face showed a shallow smile of satisfaction, the Northern Flying Group, after the Great War, once grew into Southeast Asia and even the South Asian subcontinent, the undoubted air supremacy, this qiē is inseparable from Le Yiqin.

Tang Qiuli raised his gaze and said to Zhao Yuhe in the back seat: "Yuhe, prepare a telegram!" ”
