。 The troops of the northern Burma border garrison area of the division that were ordered to withdraw to Ma Gao, after a day of arduous blocking battles in the west, carried out another night attack, both in terms of energy and body, as well as ammunition, were consumed to a very low level, plus the commander Wen Rongcai was seriously wounded and unconscious, like a big mountain, weighing heavily on the heads of every officer and soldier, but he did not realize that behind them, there were more than 7,000 evil wolves. Brigadier General Singh was about to succeed, but Lady Luck did not patronize the Indian officer, Wen Rongcai's troops, near Xinduo, to rendezvous with the Shaw Jinshan Division of the 9th Brigade of the Division's Corps, which had rushed to the site of the Xiduo blockade.

Brigade commander Major General Xiao Jinshan, after arranging the field hospital with the army and operating on his old comrade-in-arms Wen Rongcai, he held back a fire in his heart, the British and Indian soldiers have already occupied Xido, and there is no point in blocking it again, only by recapturing Xiduo can the task be completed, but in the face of more than 200,000 well-equipped British and Indian troops, he and the 10th Brigade on the opposite bank of the Yuanshan Division, together, but more than 30,000 troops, how can they fight a face-to-face battle for positions with the British and Indian troops?

What's worse is that the order of the division headquarters, Sido is the first blocking point of the 9th Brigade and the 10th Brigade, but now that he has lost it, he has no right to blame his old comrade-in-arms Wen Rongcai and his troops, with a local garrison force without heavy weapons, hold on to Sido for a whole day, withstand the onslaught of more than 200,000 British and Indian heavy artillery and tanks, and when he was about to retreat, he also bit the British and Indian soldiers fiercely.

If it were his own Ninth Brigade, it would be nothing more than that. in his heart. For the troops of the northern border garrison area of Myanmar, there is only admiration, back in the tent, Xiao Jinshan's mind is thinking about this problem, at this time, outside the tent, a loud "report!" "Come in!" Xiao Jinshan shouted without replying.

A young major, covered in mud and water, dressed in a tropical jungle combat uniform. There were small cuts everywhere, but he came in full spirit, Xiao Jinshan looked up and asked in surprise: "Didn't your reconnaissance battalion open the way for the troops in front?" How did you run back? ”

The major couldn't suppress his excitement. Approaching Xiao Jinshan's side, he said mysteriously: "Brigade Commander, a big deal sent to the door!" Xiao Jinshan's spirits perked up, and he hurriedly asked: "Li Jinfeng, you make it clear, what kind of big deal, don't be mysterious?" ”

The reconnaissance battalion directly under the brigade headquarters of the Ninth Brigade, as a directly subordinate unit, can see several bigwigs of the brigade headquarters every day, Major Battalion Commander Li Jinfeng. It was Xiao Jinshan's confidant and favorite general, and he was familiar with the brigade commander, and he no longer sold his guanzi, Zhengse replied: "Report to the brigade commander, the reconnaissance battalion found a group of British and Indian troops more than 40 kilometers west of Xinduo, which was about two hours away from our camp, because there was no order from the brigade commander, so they were not alarmed. My troops continue to watch! ”

Xiao Jinshan's eyes lit up, and he asked eagerly: "How many troops?" Troop formation? Is it followed by a large force of Anglo-Indian troops? Are there artillery and tanks? Tell us all the details! ”

Li Jinfeng replied: "There are about 51 brigades and more than 7,000 soldiers, most of whom are Indian soldiers and a small number of British soldiers. Mixed units for Anglo-Indian soldiers, without tanks and artillery. It was about a day and a half away from the main force of the Anglo-Indian army, and it was a lone army in depth, and in my judgment, it should be coming towards us! ”

Xiao Jinshan clapped his hands and said again and again: "Okay, okay, I am worried that there is no place to eat, there is fat meat sent to the door, judging by the strength and equipment of the British and Indian troops, it is not for us, a brigade of the British army, that is, half of our strength is less than that, do you think the British and the Indian military death squad, they are coming to Lao Wen's troops, just hit our muzzle, and it is really a deal sent to the door!" ”…,

Xiao Jinshan said to Li Jinfeng: "You immediately rush back to the troops, continue to monitor, without my order, you are absolutely not allowed to do anything, if you are shocked to the fat in your mouth, I will not pick your skin!" Li Jinfeng grinned, saluted and hurriedly slipped away.

Subsequently, Xiao Jinshan grabbed the talkative machine, "Old Fang?" I'm Xiao Jinshan, what do you mean, you can't talk if you're fine? Good news for you, there is a small deal, sent to the door, how about a partnership? ”

At the end of the walkie-talkie, Major General Fang Yuanshan, commander of the 10th Brigade of the directly subordinate corps, pouted, teased and said: "Just you, Lao Xiao, the master who is used to eating alone, if you have a good deal, you can still share it with me, I don't believe it!" ”

Xiao Jinshan was a little anxious, and said: "Don't treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, to be serious, my reconnaissance battalion, more than 40 kilometers west of our camp, found a mixed brigade of the British and Indian army, more than 7,000 people!" I guess it's chasing Lao Wen and them, I don't know if our two brigades are here, count them unlucky, give us a chance to open up, and partner to kill them, are you interested? ”

When Fang Yuanshan heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "If you don't eat the fat meat that is sent to your mouth, are we stupid?" Eat meat and carry out blocking tasks, do not commit conflicts, you take a charter, how to fight, my old party will fully cooperate! ”

Xiao Jinshan shouted: "Okay, happy, it's refreshing to join hands with your old party, in this way, our ninth brigade will arrange a pocket formation in front, and your tenth brigade will go around to the back, and we will do a dozen, keep these guys running back, you block it, and then give him a stick, our two brigades will wrap the dumplings of more than 7,000 British and Indian soldiers, and solve the battle in three hours, and this will be done!" ”

The 1st Jungle Brigade of the Plame Garrison of the Indian Army, which was closely chasing Wen Rongcai's troops, crashed headlong into the encirclement of the 9th Brigade of Xiao Jinshan in the dark night, and they were greeted by a sudden and fierce artillery fire, and the 9th Brigade concentrated the heavy artillery regiments of the brigade, the artillery battalions of each regiment, and hundreds of artillery pieces of large and small calibers, which were responsible for a fixed area according to the different firing ranges, and between the areas, leaving no dead ends of a single square meter.

Dense shells, with a long tail flame, pierced the dark night sky, screaming and falling "Boom, boom!" "The fire, the roar of which echoed through the woods, the shattered corpses of the British and Indian soldiers, the tall trees that shattered, and the clumps of earth and gravel that stirred up.

Brigadier General Singh and his brigade headquarters were very unfortunate to fall victim to the first round of shelling, and the benchmark shelling of the 9th Brigade Heavy Artillery Regiment fell in the middle of his brigade headquarters, for the simple reason that a kind staff officer, in order to make the anxious Brigadier Singer, see the compass, turned on the flashlight, although only for a few seconds.

But this light was keenly captured by the artillery observers, and then the number of reports attracted the first round of dozens of large-caliber shells, and Brigadier General Singh's body, together with his desire to destroy Wen Rongcai's troops and his dream of being promoted to general, was reduced to broken flesh and bones in a ball of fire and a loud noise, scattered on the muddy mountain roads of the Hukang River Valley.

Along with Brigadier Singer, the communications department of the brigade headquarters was unlucky, so in the end, the 1st Jungle Brigade of the British Army in India, Plame, did not send any news, and Commander Alexander had no way of knowing the whereabouts of this brigade.

The British and Indian soldiers who were attacked by sudden artillery fire lost their command organs, and they were in chaos at that time, Xiao Jinshan was thinking of fighting to the death, and arranged this ambush battle, and the troops were also responsible for blocking the British and Indian troops, not to mention that it was inconvenient to keep the prisoners, and they had to send people back, and it was troublesome, it was better to send them back to their homes in Britain and India with a shell.

Brigade Commander Xiao Jinshan's order was thoroughly carried out by the artillerymen, and the shells were fired out in no number, because they were in a state of pursuit, for fear of falling behind, the formation of the British and Indian soldiers was absolutely dense, coupled with the terrain restrictions of the Hukang River Valley, the troops could not disperse, crowded into piles of people, and as soon as the shells went down, more than a dozen British and Indian soldiers flew into the air. …,

As soon as the British ran away, the remaining Indian soldiers, of course, would not wait for the bombing like fools, and they would also be defeated, and a brigade of more than 7,000 British and Indian troops fell in the Hukang River valley, and more than 3,000 people fell in the Hukang River valley, while the artillery of the Ninth Brigade had just shelled for less than 50 minutes.

The British and Indian soldiers ran away, and the artillerymen were not polite, adjusted the coordinates, grabbed the back of their butts, and sent more than 1,000 shells, and more than 1,000 British and Indian soldiers fell on the way to escape. ”

Xiao Jinshan was very sorry that he had arranged hundreds of light and heavy machine guns on the forward position, and there was no chance to exert his power, and the British and Indian soldiers turned around and fled before they reached the range of light and heavy machine gun fire.

Xiao Jinshan picked up the walkie-talkie, "I said old man, I'm almost over, the rest is all yours, how much is left?" It's more than half of it, how about it, we didn't eat alone, it's interesting enough! ”

On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Fang Yuanshan, the commander of the 10th Brigade, laughed and said: "Old Xiao, I don't know you yet, you have the opportunity to eat alone, so you are reluctant to talk about it, don't sell it to me, you have to get it, when the battle is over, I can't invite you to drink!"

Putting down the walkie-talkie, the combat staff officer next to him asked for instructions: "Brigade commander, the British and Indian troops have escaped, and several regiment commanders have called to ask for instructions, should we pursue?" ”

Xiao Jinshan glared at the young staff officer, and said in a tone of lesson: "Don't you understand tactics, can the British and Indian soldiers run again, and they can still run out of the pocket of the tenth brigade?" In the dark night, the terrain is complicated, and it is not easy to distinguish between the enemy and us, and the pursuit in this case will increase a lot of casualties, besides, in case the British commander who has enough brains to come to a counter-ambush, won't we suffer a big loss? ”

The staff officer lowered his head and smiled secretly, Xiao Jinshan was also very satisfied, without hurting a single person, he killed more than half of the British and Indian soldiers, this battle was a good deal!
