The Rakhine Mountains are a mountain range in southwestern Myanmar, and to the southwest, is a narrow coastal plain. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn the entire mountain range, there are only two easy roads that pass through it.

But even so, it would have been much easier for British* troops to attack from there if they wanted to march from India than from elsewhere. After an infantry brigade was completely annihilated, the retaliation of the British troops in India soon began. Three infantry divisions of the British 15th Army, four infantry divisions of the 4th Army and a tank brigade immediately went into action.

Among them, the main force is on the line of the Rakhine coast. Relatively speaking, the traffic conditions here are a little better.

Lieutenant General Slim arrived from Calcutta and personally led three infantry divisions of the 15th Army, as well as an infantry division and a tank brigade drawn from the 4th Army to reinforce them, a total of four infantry divisions and a tank brigade, about 50,000 men, from India, along the coast of Rakhine to attack Burma.

On the day Qin Shou returned to Burma from the United States, the British army crossed the border and entered Burma.

This also made the conflict between the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and Britain inevitably expanded.

"Steven, it's no wonder we're not going to blame. It was not that we wanted to escalate the situation, but that the British took the initiative to provoke it. Now that they have sent their troops to attack, we have no choice but to return fire. "When Qin Shou learned that the British had crossed the border and entered the coast of Rakhine, his attitude became even tougher.

Lieutenant Colonel Steven looked at Qin Shou, but in the end he didn't say anything. He knew that with Qin Shou's character, it was impossible not to have any reaction. This also means that a large-scale conflict will break out between the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and the British.

"Qin, as your friend, I still hope that the scale of this conflict can be controlled as much as possible. Otherwise, it won't do you any good. Lieutenant Colonel Steven said solemnly.

Qin Shou nodded, he knew what Lieutenant Colonel Steven meant, it was nothing more than that the Americans would not sit idly by. When the time comes, once the scale of the conflict expands, no matter who is in charge, the Americans will be dissatisfied.

After Steven left, the military meeting of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army continued. It's just that the atmosphere is more tense than before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have heard that the British have attacked. Naturally, then, we can't do nothing. We have to take out the main forces of the British, so that we will hurt them and let them know that we are not something they can bully at will. Qin Shou said to a group of generals.

"Commander, what you say, we will do." Sun Changwu and others said.

Qin Shou looked at the map, and then said, "The terrain of the Arakan coast is narrow. Since the British marched along the coast, their troops would inevitably stretch for a long time. And this gives us a chance. I hope that all the British can be put in. Then, plug the head and tail and surround them on the coast of Rakhine. In this way, we can use the terrain to wipe them all out on the coast of Rakhine! ”

Since the British sent the main force to attack Burma, what Qin Shou thought was naturally to kill all the British * troops that were coming to attack. Although, the attacking British* army was only more than 50,000 people. But if they are eliminated, the British troops stationed in India will have no power to attack.

"Commander, the traffic in the Rakhine Mountains is relatively bad, and we have to go around to the rear of the British, I'm afraid it will be very difficult." Chief of Staff Liu Shiquan frowned. Those trading roads, even if they were passable, a lot of heavy equipment could not pass through the mountains. In this case, the troops blocking the rear route of the British will undoubtedly be under tremendous pressure. If it is not good, under the frantic counterattack of the British, it will suffer heavy losses.

Qin Shou certainly wanted to completely annihilate the attacking British army, but in the same way, he didn't want his troops to lose too much. In this case, it will be very detrimental to the subsequent operation.

"Even if you can't carry heavy equipment, the terrain of the Rakhine Mountains is narrow, as long as you can pass two regiments. Then the frontal forces intensified the offensive, and the air force was attacking, trying to get rid of the heavy equipment of the British as much as possible. That way, there won't be any problems. Qin Shou explained.

The other generals, after thinking about it carefully, had no objection to Qin Shou's opinion.

"If you don't have any objections, so be it. The 3rd Infantry Division drew two regiments from Min Vu, crossed the Rakhine Mountains, and reached Jagu, where it built a defensive line to hold back the British. Remember, because of the time constraints, you only have two days to cross the Rakhine Mountains. Qin Shou looked at Chen Dehai, the commander of the 3rd Infantry Division, and said.

Although the Rakhine Mountains are only 40 kilometers wide, this is not the case with mountain roads. To traverse the 40-kilometre wide mountain road, I am afraid that you will have to walk more than 80 kilometres. This was undoubtedly very difficult for an infantry division with a large number of artillery pieces.

Even if these two infantry regiments only carry mortars and 75mm field guns, it will be very difficult to climb over the Rakhine Mountains.

"Commander, don't worry, I will personally lead the troops over the Rakhine Mountains. I promise that after the order is given, we will be able to cross the Rakhine Mountains on time and block the back of the British. Chen Dehai assured Qin Shou.

Qin Shou nodded, and then looked at Sun Changwu: "The task of the 1st Infantry Division, the remaining troops of the 3rd Division, the armored brigade and the heavy artillery brigade is to rush to the cave to deploy along the coast of Rakhine. Hold off the British attack. After the British troops had all gathered on the Dong Pie line, the two regiments of the 3rd Infantry Division crossed the Rakhine Mountains and blocked the retreat of the British. Give them an urn to catch turtles. ”

"Yes, Captain." Everyone replied. They knew that if Qin Shou's plan succeeded, the British who let them in would almost be dead.

"Lao Xu, the task of the aviation team is not light. The British also had a lot of fighters in Burma. Although, the strength is not as good as ours. However, the gap is not too far either. Once the battle begins, the air force must guarantee air supremacy. And, attack the British heavy artillery and armored targets, and take out all their heavy weapons. Qin Shou said.

If the air force is not able to complete the task, the two regiments that are responsible for blocking the rear of the British army will be under great pressure.

"Yes, Captain." Xu Huansheng nodded heavily. The current air force can be described as strong and strong. They really didn't take the British Air Force into account.

"Ladies and gentlemen, whether we can get rid of the British in their entirety depends on the next battle. I hope we can win! ”

"Victory!" Everyone replied.
