Age of Rebirth

Chapter 79 Confused Head of State

What Chutian said in the telegram was that the British army and the Burmese mixed small force were the guides sent by Alexander to Savage Mountain to lead the Shouyi army in the temple. Tang Qiuli vaguely guessed that these small British and Burmese troops The purpose of entering Savage Mountain has an absurd feeling in my heart. Is Alexander an idiot or a blind man?

The Japanese are ready to move in Southeast Asia, and their intentions are already very obvious, but Alexander is still wishful thinking to please the Japanese. If he successfully brings the remnants of the Japanese army of Shouichi in Terauchi out of the Savage Mountain to Myitkyina in northern Myanmar, these Japanese soldiers are not What kind of allies, but a group of hungry wolves, what kind of people are there in the world?

With Tang Qiuli's experience, he also couldn't understand the mind of the British, so he emphasized in his order to Chu Tian, ​​"Attack the column, and all the small units of the British Burmese army that entered the Yeren Mountain must be wiped out. Do not allow them to have any contact with the Japanese army, and immediately report the situation to the division commander after the battle is over." Tang Qiuli also wanted to know the real purpose of the British and Burmese troops.

A few days later, Chutian reported the situation, "The division pointed out that I attacked all the units of the column and entered the edge of Yeren Mountain in northern Myanmar. People, according to the account of the captives, these small groups of armed forces entered the Savage Mountains under the order of Alexander to look for Japanese troops and were responsible for bringing the remaining Japanese troops out of Savage Mountains. However, due to the complex terrain of Savage Mountains, they could not be completely wiped out The target, about two or three mixed small units of the British Burmese Army, has disappeared, and the troops are now searching.”[

Tang Qiuli understood why Alexander transferred all his elite troops to the area close to the Chinese border. He still repeated the same trick, letting the Japanese be free thugs and fighting himself first. The British took the opportunity to clean up the mess , Completely drive out the troops of the Independent Division that have entered Southeast Asia.

It's still the same old way, the British don't work hard, pick up ready-made cheap ones, and treat others as fools, then teach the British a lesson, let the Japanese give them a resounding slap in the face, let the British have a longer memory, and let the Japanese People are thugs, not just you, Alexander. He issued a new order to Chutian, "Chutian, the main combat mission of the attack column in the next stage is to wipe out a large number of Japanese troops who will be able to enter northern Burma. Control it within the range of attack capability, and if necessary, all special operations detachments can be mobilized into Savage Mountain."

Tang Qiuli's order was tantamount to creating a problem for Chutian. What does it mean to have an attack capability? Based on Chutian's understanding of the British army, the combat effectiveness of a Japanese regiment can definitely overwhelm a brigade of the British army. How many little devils should be let go? Chutian was in a dilemma, and he didn't dare to send a telegram again to ask the teacher's real intention.

No way, Chutian found another way and sent a telegram to Chief of Staff Chang Feng. Chang Feng knew what Chutian meant and did not inform Tang Qiuli. The depletion of the British army and the actual strength of the British army in northern Burma give a rough figure, which is about 5000 to [-]. A Japanese army of this size can cause a storm in northern Burma, but absolutely The British army cannot be wiped out, and the British who beat them are still capable of fleeing.

Chu Tian had a solid idea in his mind. The attacking column that had mastered the initiative of the Savage Mountain battlefield could freely decide the scale and method of the battle. It would be no problem to kill the impoverished little devils. At the same time, Chu Tian couldn't help shivering. The order was to announce the end of Shouichi Terauchi and give the Japanese army the final verdict.

There are more than 20 little devils who entered Savage Mountain. After such a long period of consumption and loss, there are still 6 to [-] people. The corpses of the soldiers of the Ten Thousand Japanese Army were strewn all over the place, and soon they would become piles of bones. It was shocking, the commander was ruthless, and Chu Tian secretly smacked his tongue.

In fact, if Tang Qiuli hadn't been angry with Alexander's knowledge and stupidity, none of Terauchi Shouichi and his 10,000+ Japanese soldiers would have walked out of Savage Mountain alive, and let the British experience the pain of lifting a rock to smash their own feet , It’s a long memory. The remaining Japanese army was a disaster for the British army in northern Myanmar. It was not enough for the independent division to eat.

One night in late March, Tang Qiuli and Mei Xue, who was recuperating in Shanghai, talked on the phone. Tang Qiuli was in a very happy mood. Mei Xue's injury healed at an optimistic speed, and she was able to recover with the help of the nurse. She was active in the ward, but the girl was very reluctant to be alone in Shanghai, and clamored that after she recovered from her injury, she immediately returned to Tengchong and Tang Qiuli's side.

Tang Qiuli deeply felt Mei Xue's attachment to him, and after Mei Xue blocked that shot for himself, Tang Qiuli seemed to have a strange feeling deep in his heart. No, he was immersed in the wonderful realm, and couldn't help but think of a long letter that Mei Ting had read to himself in Dingbian two days ago.

In the blink of an eye, I haven't seen Mei Ting for several months. Now, Mei Ting is in a pre-delivery situation. Although the medical facilities in Dingbian are the best in the country, and her parents, father-in-law and mother-in-law are all by Mei Ting's side For the first child of the Tang family and the Mei family, the four old people looked forward to it with excitement, and took care of Mei Ting like a baby.

Mei Ting's letter was full of good news, filled with a sense of pride about being a mother, and told him not to miss herself, everything was fine, but Tang Qiuli could still see that between those words, there was a cover-up. The constant melancholy and loss, the love of parents and in-laws cannot replace the husband's care and love no matter what.

At this moment, I should be by Mei Ting's side, looking forward to the birth of the first child together, but, the war in Southeast Asia is about to break out, how can I escape?Mei Xue's charming voice on the phone, Mei Ting's faint disappointment in her letter, the two wives' different expressions, but they are all deeply in love, entangled and intertwined in Tang Qiuli's heart, even he himself can't tell whether it is What a feeling.

The night was dark, and Tang Qiuli looked up to the south. The night wind in the early spring of western Yunnan was blowing from the South Pacific, with a faint, almost inaudible saltiness, but he clearly smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke, "The war will start Ah!" Tang Qiuli seemed to be talking to himself, exhaling the complicated emotions in his chest.

Chen Feng, the director of communications, hurried over, "Master, there is an urgent telegram from Germany." Tang Qiuli took the telegram, and Bai Luoyu's beautiful and neat handwriting was pleasing to the eye. However, the content of the telegram, But Tang Qiuli was very surprised. This was a telegram from Battelle from the Dunkirk front.

"Brother Qiuli, after the German army bypassed the Maginot Line, they entered France at a very fast speed. The 10 British and French allied forces were forced to retreat to Dunkirk, a port on the border between northern France and the Netherlands. My command The "Lightning" armored assault division, as the vanguard of Guderian's first army, has arrived at the rear defense line of the British and French coalition forces in Dunkirk, and the battle is very fierce."

"According to the current development trend of the war situation, it is an inevitable result that the British and French coalition forces were encircled and wiped out by the German army in Dunkirk. However, the attack was stopped immediately. The reason given was that the water network and swamps near Dunkirk were not conducive to armored operations. In order to avoid losses, the ground troops immediately stopped attacking and the Luftwaffe attacked Dunkirk instead. According to Guderian, the order came from Hitler, the German head of state."

"Brother Qiuli, according to my observation and judgment on the battlefield, this order is very strange. It will lose an excellent opportunity to wipe out the British and French coalition forces in the European continent, the last main force. The German army has surrounded the British and French coalition forces from three sides. The British and French coalition forces have begun I can't figure out the intention of the German High Command to organize the crossing of the English Channel and withdraw to the British mainland, so please report the situation and ask Brother Qiuli to make a judgment, brother Battelle."

This is a long telegram. On the rainy battlefield, Battelle still has time to send a telegram. This shows that the German army has completely taken the initiative on the battlefield. As long as they make the last blow, the British and French Apart from the fate of being wiped out, there is probably only one way to go by jumping into the English Channel.

Tang Qiuli almost blurted out, "Stupid and idiot, Hitler is letting the tiger go back to the mountain." Do you still need to judge?Although the British and French allied forces retreated from Dunkirk a few months earlier than the historical records, the current form of the European battlefield is exactly the same as the historical records. [

At this critical moment, Hitler didn't know what kind of evil wind he committed, but ordered the German army to stop the attack, giving the British and French allied forces a once-in-a-lifetime respite. Within a few days, within the range of the German artillery fire, using various ships, Four 10,000+ British and French soldiers were withdrawn to the British Isles under the noses of the Germans. Later, this part of the British and French troops became the backbone of the counterattack on the European continent.

According to unofficial historical records, the root cause of Hitler's fatal mistake was the stupid, showy, but ambitious Luftwaffe Commander-in-Chief Sherman.Goering's request, Goering did not want all the victories and halos of the German army in the European battlefield to be snatched by the army. Seeing that the British and French allied forces had become a shackle, he proposed to Hitler that the Luftwaffe would complete the final attack on the British and French allied forces alone.

Hitler was dazzled by the upcoming victory, and in order to take care of his old friend and iron buddy, he agreed to this ridiculous request. As a result, the Dunkirk area was densely clouded and foggy for several days. Unable to take off at all, the soldiers of the British and French allied forces withdrew in a hurry. Goering fired an empty cannon, which ruined the future and destiny of the Third Reich.

However, with Tang Qiuli now, it will be a different ending. The more than 40 British and French soldiers will not escape the fate of being wiped out from Dunkirk anyway. He let the Germans fight in the European battlefield. A complete victory, so as to be a strong enemy of the Soviets.
