    On the night of April 25, all the airports of the British Air Force stationed in India became busy due to an order from Commander Bright. Those who were overhauling aircraft were busy like grease monkeys, and the staff and combat departments were busy.  As the flight plan and raid plan for tomorrow are being formulated, there is a tense atmosphere everywhere, although most officers have no idea what they are busy with.

    Lieutenant General Bright himself personally sent a telegram back to Commander Alexander: "Your Excellency, Commander, the Air Force of the Indian Army will dispatch all fighter jets and bombers in accordance with your order. At 8 o'clock tomorrow morning,  Xu, complete the raid on the Chinese bombers that bombed our ground forces. In addition, our bomber group will carry out indiscriminate bombing of Magao. Due to the insufficient number of bombers, the plan to bomb Myitkyina will be difficult to realize. Please forgive me, Commander.  !¡±

    Bright played a cunning little trick. He knew very well that Myitkyina was Le Yiqin's aviation base, and all the fighter planes of the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division were concentrated there. Going there with his own plane would be like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.  If he is not careful, there will be no return, so he will not get into trouble.

    As for what Alexander would think, Bright believed that he had faithfully carried out his order and sent out all the aircraft of the Indian Air Force. The old guy wouldn't push people too far, right?  I had to bomb Myitkyina myself.

    Indeed, after receiving Bright's telegram, Alexander, who was camping in the Hukang Valley, was still very happy. First he smiled happily, and then thought with pride: "That timid and cunning Bright was finally caught.  He was forced to spend his money. As for what targets his planes want to bomb, that is his business. Let him make his own decision! "

    Alexander is still very self-aware of unfamiliar areas.  It is best not to interfere randomly, otherwise, it is easy to fall into trouble, actually.  As long as Bright can do it, Tang Qiuli's bombers will not drop bombs on the heads of his troops and affect the marching speed of the troops. With the joy of surrendering to Bright, after drinking a glass of whiskey, Your Excellency Commander  Go to sleep contentedly.

    The night of April 25th.  In Magao, a small town in northern Myanmar, the ** Division's Northern Myanmar Campaign Headquarters is brightly lit, with the "tick-tock" sound of the radio station and the rapid chirping of the telephone ringing. Correspondents and staff officers are coming in and out.  A tense and busy situation.

    Tang Qiuli was in the war room, looking at several telegrams. Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe was busy talking to the war staff.  After checking various data, Liu Xinlan walked in carefully with a bowl of steaming soup. After placing it in front of him, she had a look of pain on her face and kept blowing on her fingers, which alarmed Tang Qiu who was working at the desk.  Leave.

    Tang Qiuli raised his head and saw Liu Xinlan's frown. He put down the telegram in his hand and complained distressedly: "Why are you so careless? Let me see if you burnt your fingers?" With that, he was about to pull Liu Xinlan away.  little hands.

    Liu Xinlan pursed her lips, but clasped her little hands behind her back, and said angrily: "Why don't you drink it while it's hot? Go to a weirdo's house. Before coming to northern Myanmar, Sister Xue told me to take good care of you.  If someone loses a few pounds, I can¡¯t afford it!¡±

    Only then did Tang Qiuli notice a bowl of fragrant and hot soup, a few fresh mushrooms, some unknown wild vegetables, green and green, and of course, his favorite meat, which exuded an alluring smell.  The aroma made Tang Qiuli move his index finger, swallowed, and asked: "Xinlan, does the food you get there taste very unusual?"

    With a little pride, Liu Xinlan replied: "I went to the mountain behind to pick them for you. The special guards also shot a few pheasants. Seeing that you have been busy these two days, I will give you a supplement."  "Body, I've been busy in the kitchen for more than two hours. Drink it while it's hot. Try it. If it tastes good, I'll make it for you tomorrow!"

    Tang Qiuli took the spoon handed over by Liu Xinlan and took a big sip. He closed his eyes and said with a look of enjoyment on his face, "It's delicious. The beauty holds the soup and her hands mix the soup. In addition, the ingredients are selected from the natural wilderness. It's really delicious."  The most delicious food in the world!¡±

    Seeing Tang Qiuli shaking his head with a serious look, Liu Xinlan smiled so much that she almost bent over and gasped: "It's sour, it's so sour! When I was chatting with Sister Xue, I told me that you sometimes like to drop articles, and I still  If you don¡¯t believe it, you¡¯ve seen it with your own eyes this time, it¡¯s even more powerful than what Sister Xue said, even worse!¡±

    Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe hurried over, holding a stack of telegrams. He just called "Commander" when suddenly his nose twitched a few times and said: "It smells good, Commander, what are you drinking?" He saw the one on the table.  Bowl of soup.

    Tang Qiuli took the soup in his hands vigilantly and replied: "Chief of Staff Zhao, if you have something to say, just talk about it. For other things, don't worry too much!"

    Zhao Yuhe smiled, but before he could speak, LiuLan said: "Look at how stingy you are, Chief of Staff Zhao. I'll find a bowl and put some in it for you. This is what I cooked for the teacher. You can try it!"

    Zhao Yuhe said with a smile: "Counsel Liu, you made this specially for the teacher. I don't have this blessing. Didn't you see the vigilance on the teacher's face?" After saying that, he laughed, and Liu Xinlan couldn't help but follow.  Laughed.

    Tang Qiuli finished drinking the soup and asked, "Yuhe, what's the matter?"

    Zhao Yuhe said while sorting out the telegram in his hand: "Division commander, it's the Sulu Mobile Corps. The four brigades that interspersed with Xiduo have set off an hour ago in accordance with the order of the division commander. In addition, the troops responsible for  Troops from the eight brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps who have set up ambushes in the directions of Ledo, Sujia, Jamai, and New Taiji will arrive at the designated position at about 10 o'clock tonight. When the 9th and 10th brigades of the directly affiliated corps receive a call, they will  At about 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, we will meet the main force of the British and Indian troops in the Xinduo area of ????the Hukang River Valley."

    Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Okay, the battle deployment has been carried out according to the original plan. Send another telegram to the four brigades that are interspersed in Xiduo, telling them that the main purpose is to conceal the purpose of the Magao Battle.  It will take a few days to start, and there is plenty of time. By the way, Xiao Jinshan of the 9th Brigade and Wu Zhenjiang of the 10th Brigade, what suggestions do they have? "

    Zhao Yuhe read the telegram and replied: "Brigade commanders Xiao and Wu suggested that the troops could have a head-on fight with the British and Indian troops in Xinduo to kill their spirit? Regarding this idea, the two brigade commanders  We made full preparations and used an ambush method to suddenly break out from the dense forests on both sides of the Hukang River Valley. After dark, the troops broke away from contact with the British and Indian troops and retreated!"

    Tang Qiuli shook his head and said decisively: "No! The 9th and 10th brigades are mainly composed of exhausted British and Indian troops. They are supposed to attack more with less, in case they are entangled and fall into the superior strength of the British and Indian troops.  For them, siege is very dangerous and will destroy the entire campaign plan. Also, the heavy artillery of the British and Indian troops is not a decoration. If you engage in positional warfare, you will be looking for trouble. "

    "Telegraph Xiao Jinshan and Wu Zhenjiang to act in accordance with the established battle plan, hit Xinduo and then leave. To ensure a principle, evacuate the battlefield before the British and Indian heavy artillery units can react. If they make a command mistake,  , or they are eager to fight, resulting in excessive casualties of the troops, I only ask them two! "

    Zhao Yuhe recorded them one by one and said with a smile: "As soon as this telegram was sent out, how disappointed were the two brigade commanders Xiao and Wu? They had worked hard and wanted to do something big.  field!"

    Zhao Yuhe was about to send a telegram when he was stopped by Tang Qiuli, "Yuhe, wait a moment, record the following order. Commander Tang of the Navy Fleet, after receiving the order, dispatch no less than two aircraft carriers."  The task force will sail to the eastern Indian Ocean to perform combat missions. Specific tasks will be issued to you during the voyage. In addition, the fleet should carry no less than three brigades of Marine Corps troops to operate together. "

    Zhao Yuhe was stunned for a moment, looked at Tang Qiuli and asked: "Sir, what are you?"

    Tang Qiuli walked to the military map in a few steps, pointed to the East Indian Ocean and said: "Yuhe, our eyes should not just be on the land. Since we have already torn our skins in the fierce battle with the British, then  , the so-called Allied Powers Treaty, for me, has no restrictions, not to mention that the British are only allowed to attack us, but we are not allowed to fight through! "

    "There is no such truth in the world. Therefore, I decided not only to kill all the main forces of the British troops stationed in India in Magao and Hukang Valley, but I also wanted to kill the British occupied areas at sea.  Take the Andaman Islands, Nicobar Islands, and Sri Lanka Island in the Bay of Bengal and expand our sphere of influence to the southernmost tip of the South Asian subcontinent.¡±

    Zhao Yuhe stuttered and said: "Commander, the land and sea are attacking at the same time. That would be an all-out war against the British! Will it cause a chain reaction?" He had thought about the appetite and intentions of the division commander, but he had never thought about it.  The division commander's appetite is frightening. If a campaign is launched in this way, attacking on both land and sea, and the British occupy India, will it be the second Indochina?  Included within the control of the nurse?

    Zhao Yuhe was shocked by his own thoughts. What the teacher did was too crazy, right?  Several fronts are being fought, the Northeast is facing the Japanese Kwantung Army, Outer Mongolia is confronting the Soviet army, the Malay Peninsula is still the Japanese army, the encirclement and suppression of the British and Indian troops are about to begin, and there is also the plan to occupy the islands in the South Pacific. That is the American plan.  sphere of influence.

    Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Yuhe, I'm not as crazy as you think. As far as the British-Indian army's campaign is concerned, it's not a matter of whether we want to go to war in an all-out way, but that the British have already poured their strength into it."  The Indian army will use all its strength to attack our northern Burma region, and then plot the entire Indo-China Peninsula to push back the British forces., besieged in the South Asian subcontinent, just for them, and they will not be able to act rashly in the future!  "
