    Liu Xinlan's answer was concise and to the point. She explained all the situation clearly in a few words. Moreover, after receiving the telegram and without receiving instructions from her superiors, she clarified all possible problems. This was a very special decision.  A competent staff officer, no wonder the division commander would keep her by his side. Zhao Yuhe looked at the beautiful Liu Xinlan with admiration.

    Seeing that Tang Qiuli was still deep in thought, Tang Qiusheng said: "Consultant Liu ordered Wen Rongcai, commander of the Northern Myanmar Border Guard Area Command, to immediately verify the authenticity of the intelligence, and ordered Yu Deshui, director of the Intelligence Division, to provide relevant intelligence. I suspect  , whether our patrol was attacked by unknown armed forces and was misjudged to be an attack by the British and Indian troops! "

    Tang Qiuli slowly shook his head and said: "Brother Qiusheng, I think Wen Rongcai's telegram is telling the real situation. In the Hukang River area, Chutian's special operations detachment was chasing Japanese soldiers who were harassing our logistics supply line.  When I joined the troops, I wiped out all the armed bandits in that area, Chu Tian reported to me! "

    "Therefore, those who dare to attack our patrol at the border post can only be the British and Indian troops. Moreover, five patrols lost contact on the same day, which further proves the authenticity of Wen Rongcai's intelligence. It is very likely that they were attacked  The British and Indian troops suddenly attacked and all were killed, except for one patrol that sounded the alarm."

    "Also, we publicly shot forty-seven British spies and caused Churchill to lose face in the world. We cannot rule out the possibility of the British taking a risk. The British have been recovering from injuries in East India for more than two years and feel that they have  Now we have the confidence to return to Indochina," Tang Qiuli said, and no one stopped arguing about the authenticity of the intelligence.

    As the division commander, Tang Qiuli has already made a judgment, which is to set a general policy. Everyone's eyes are looking at him, waiting for his decision.  to take the next concrete action.

    To be honest, Tang Qiuli was a little upset now. The British suddenly made such a move, which surprised him at the same time.  (Just read the novel.) I am also vaguely worried that it will distract me from paying attention to the European battlefield, or even the secret visit to Germany. Hitler's affairs are much more important than the British's sudden attack on northern Burma.

    ¡°Also, the attitude of Americans is beyond his comprehension.  Logically speaking, MacArthur spent so much effort, using conspiracies and small tricks to come up with the "Operation Tiger Shark Plan" aimed at targeting the Japanese troops under Ito in Singapore, just because he thought that he was in the intense preparation stage.  Aren't you afraid that the British will ruin their good deeds?

    Without the support of the Americans behind them, would the British have the ability and confidence to launch such an attack?  But the situation has arisen. Why did the Americans not stop it? What conspiracy is there?  chaos.  Tang Qiuli's mind was indeed a little confused, mainly because he couldn't see through the Americans' thoughts, and his biggest worry was that this unexpected situation would prevent the Japanese and Americans from fighting.

    Tang Qiuli didn't speak, and everyone waited quietly. He felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to spend money on it. I wanted to clean up Yuhe Jiefeng, but the British made trouble, and Qiu Sheng brother tried to stop Qiu Feng.  , it¡¯s all over, let¡¯s put the blame on the British and go to the war room to study countermeasures.¡±

    When everyone arrived at the war room, the new Chief of Staff, Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, had already prepared maps and relevant information about the Hukang Valley in northern Myanmar.

    Tang Qiuli walked to the map, pointed at the Hukang River Valley and said: "The Hukang River Valley is the only main passage in and out of northern Myanmar and East India. It is most suitable for mechanized troops to move in, especially armored vehicles and heavy artillery. They are found here.  The British-Indian army was not a coincidence, but a purposeful choice by the British. Brother Qiusheng, remember, this was the route Alexander took when he fled into India with his remaining defeated soldiers. "

    Tang Qiusheng nodded thoughtfully and said: "Yes, it is this route. The only road from eastern India to northern Myanmar that can pass mechanized troops and heavy equipment. Therefore, the division commander judged that in this area,  When our patrol is attacked, it can only be done by the British and Indian troops. It is logical (just read the novel.)"

    "However, I am afraid that the number of troops dispatched by the British will not be small. It is difficult to stop the British and Indian troops from advancing towards northern Myanmar with the strength of the troops in the northern Burma border guard area. If they forcefully block the attack, the casualties of the troops will be too great. They should be formed immediately  The battle headquarters mobilizes the main force and eliminates the British on the spot. Let¡¯s do this, division commander, you stay in Yangon and command the overall situation, and I will go to northern Myanmar to command the campaign!¡±

    Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Brother Qiusheng, your suggestion is exactly what I want. However, since entering Myanmar, you have been the commander-in-chief of the front line. We have fought countless small battles. This time, let me go."  Teach the British a lesson, don¡¯t fight with me! You are still in Yangon and haven¡¯t commanded a battle for a long time. Let¡¯s brush up on the British!¡±

    Looking at Tang Qiuli¡¯s eager expression, Tang Qiusheng could only?He reluctantly agreed, and the topic shifted to organizing the battle.

    Tang Qiuli said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, you immediately start to mobilize the relevant departments of the division headquarters to form the Hukang Valley Campaign Command. This time, there are not too many troops participating in the war, so just bring the directly affiliated corps.  My plan is to encircle and annihilate the advancing British and Indian troops along the line from Magao to the middle section of the Hukang River Valley. Based on this idea, I will formulate a battle plan. "

    Zhao Yuhe agreed and wrote down Tang Qiuli's words in his notebook. Tang Qiuli went on to say: "Xinlan, record the order and order the directly affiliated corps to immediately go to the Magao front line to assemble on standby. Order the Southern Flying Group Le Yi of the Aviation Corps.  Qin, based at Myitkyina Field Airport, the unit participated in the Battle of the Hukang Valley and ordered the commander of the Northern Burma Border Guard District Wen Rongcai to immediately report the situation in the Hukang Valley, and ordered the Director of the Intelligence Department Yu Deshui to quickly find out the location of the British and Indian troops.  Who is the commander? What about the distribution of troops and weapons and equipment?¡±

    After issuing the order, Tang Qiuli muttered in a low voice: "I don't know what Yu Deshui did? There is such a big movement from the British, but the Intelligence Department didn't respond at all. Is it strange?"

    Others were busy with what they were doing, but Tang Qiusheng heard what he said and wanted to blame the Intelligence Department. He felt that it was necessary to mention Yu Deshui to explain. Otherwise, this misunderstanding would affect his cousin's correct evaluation of the work of the Intelligence Department.

    He pulled Tang Qiuli aside and said, "You are so forgetful. I remember that when Yu Deshui reported to you and prepared to set up an intelligence network in the East India region, you said that the British were already fighting against the enemy.  After defeating the rooster, there is no need to make waves. There is no need for the intelligence department to focus on a defeated general who cannot be called an opponent. Why, now the blame comes from De Shui? "

    Tang Qiuli scratched his scalp in embarrassment and said, "Brother Qiu Sheng, did I really say such a thing? Why don't you remember it?" Tang Qiuli shook his head helplessly, "You!"

    At this time, Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Department, entered the war room, walked up to Tang Qiuli, stood at attention and saluted, and said loudly: "Commander, Yu Deshui, the director of the Intelligence Department, was ordered to report. Division commander, I request punishment. The British and Indian Army  For such a big operation, as a specialized agency of military intelligence, the Intelligence Division did not receive information in advance. This is a dereliction of duty on my part!¡±

    Tang Qiuli blushed in a rare blush and said: "Director Yu, there is no need for punishment. I am responsible for this. Who would have thought that the British suddenly went crazy!"

    Yu Deshui paused for a moment, the teacher was reviewing himself!  That's not okay. After all, it was the Intelligence Department's mistake. Yu Deshui couldn't forgive himself. If he wanted to say anything else, Tang Qiuli stopped him with his hand and said, "Deshui, when you go back, fill in this gap and return it."  Yes, follow my order just now. I want to know the details of my opponent this time."

    In the early morning of April 24, Tang Qiuli led all members of the Hukang Valley Battle Command, accompanied by Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, and the guard brigade for protection, leaving Yangon City at dawn, passing through Mandalay,  Rushing to Myitkyina, an important town in northern Myanmar, Liu Xinlan, as a confidential staff officer, was of course also in the marching queue. However, she was treated to ride in the same armored command vehicle as division commander Tang Qiuli.

    At around eleven o'clock that night, the convoy drove into the city of Myitkyina in a dusty manner and drove directly to the headquarters of the Southern Flying Group. The commander, Major General Le Yiqin, and all the members of the headquarters lined up in front of the door according to their military ranks.  They formed two neat rows, waiting for the teacher and his entourage. Judging from their posture, they must have been waiting for a long time!

    Seeing the division commander getting out of the car, Le Yiqin hurriedly trotted over to greet him, stood at attention and saluted: "Reporting to the division commander, Le Yiqin, commander of the ** Division Aviation Southern Flying Group, led all the staff of the headquarters to welcome the division commander to Myitkyina. Please invite the division commander."  instruct!"

    Seeing Le Yiqin putting up such a huge formation, Tang Qiuli said with a smile but not a smile: "Commander Le, how come you have learned how to flatter? You are only a few dozen miles away from the city to greet him. I remember, you are not the most annoyed by this."  Set?"

    Le Yiqin laughed along and explained: "Sir, it's not what I meant. It's mainly because these guys refused to leave when they heard that the teacher was coming. They insisted on seeing the teacher. I also think that everyone  I just missed my teacher, so I didn¡¯t stop him.¡±

    Tang Qiuli didn't ask any more about this matter. Le Yiqin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Tang Qiuli said again: "There will be a war soon. There is no time to make false instructions or other false routines. The heads of the combat department and reconnaissance department left  Now, everyone else should go back to work and prepare for the battle. There is no need to accompany me! Let¡¯s go to the war room, I want to know the specific situation in the Hukang Valley.¡±

    Then, he said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, contact Wen Rongcai immediately and ask him about the situation there. The group walked towards the war room, looking at the hurried back of the division commander, and other aviation officers.Sadly dispersed.
