    The troops of the Myanmar Northern Border Guard Area of ??the ** Division who were ordered to withdraw to Magao, after a day of hard blocking battle in Xiduo, carried out another night attack. Both energy and physical strength, as well as ammunition, were consumed to an extremely low level.  In addition, Commander Wen Rongcai was seriously injured and unconscious. Like a huge mountain, it weighed heavily on the heads of every officer and soldier, but they did not realize that there were more than 7,000 evil wolves following behind them.

    Brigadier General Singh was about to succeed, but the goddess of luck never favored this Indian officer. Near Xinduo, Wen Rongcai's troops were fighting with the Xiao Jinshan Department of the Ninth Brigade of the ** Division's Direct Regiment that rushed to the Xiduo blockade.  meet.

    After the brigade commander, Major General Xiao Jinshan, arranged for the field hospital with the army and performed an operation on his old comrade Wen Rongcai, he felt angry in his heart. The British and Indian soldiers had already occupied Xiduo, and it was meaningless to stop them by themselves.  Only by recapturing Xiduo can we complete the mission. But we are facing more than 200,000 well-equipped British and Indian troops. Together with the 10th Brigade Fang Yuanshan Division on the other side, we only have more than 30,000 troops. How can we fight against the British and Indian troops?  A face-to-face battle for position?

    The terrible thing is that Xiduo was the first blocking point for the 9th and 10th brigades according to the order of the division headquarters. However, now that it is lost, he has no right to blame his old comrade Wen Rongcai and his troops for using a force without  The heavily armed local garrison held Sido for a whole day and withstood the fierce attack of more than 200,000 British and Indian heavy artillery and tanks. When they were about to retreat, they severely bit the British and Indian soldiers.

    If it were your own ninth brigade, it would do nothing more than this.  In his heart.  I have nothing but admiration for the troops in the Northern Myanmar Border Guard Zone. Back in the tent, Xiao Jinshan was thinking about this issue. At this time, outside the tent, there was a loud "Report!" "Come in!" Xiao Jinshan also raised his head.  shouted without reply.

    A young major, covered in mud and water, wearing a tropical jungle combat uniform.  There were small cuts everywhere, but he came in full of energy. Xiao Jinshan looked up and asked in surprise: "Isn't your reconnaissance battalion clearing the way for the troops in front? Why did you run back?"

    The major could not suppress his excitement.  He came closer to Xiao Jinshan and said mysteriously: "Brigadier, what a big deal is coming to our door!" Xiao Jinshan perked up and asked hurriedly: "Li Jinfeng, please explain clearly, what a big deal it is, don't worry.  Mysterious?"

    The Ninth Brigade¡¯s reconnaissance battalion is directly under the brigade headquarters. As a directly affiliated unit, you can see several bosses from the brigade headquarters, Major and Battalion Commander Li Jinfeng, every day.  Xiao Jinshan's confidant and favorite general, who was already familiar with the brigade commander, no longer tried to show off, and replied seriously: "Report to the brigade commander, the reconnaissance battalion discovered a group of British and Indian troops more than 40 kilometers west of Xinduo.  , it is still about two hours away from our camp, and because there is no order from the brigade commander, my troops are still monitoring!

    Xiao Jinshan¡¯s eyes shone and he asked eagerly: ¡°How many troops are there? What is the formation of the troops? Are they followed by a large British and Indian army? Are there artillery and tanks? Tell me the details!¡±

    Li Jinfeng replied: "The strength is about five and a brigade, more than 7,000 people, most of whom are Indian soldiers, and a small number of British soldiers. It is a mixed force of British and Indian soldiers, without tanks and artillery. It is far away from the main force of the British and Indian troops.  , it¡¯s about a day and a half away, and it¡¯s a lone march. I judge that it should be heading towards us!¡±

    Xiao Jinshan clapped his hands and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I am worried that I have nowhere to start, and there is fat meat coming to my door. Judging from the strength and equipment of the British and Indian troops, they are not coming for us.  There is a brigade of the British army, which is less than half of our troops. Do you think the British and the Indian military death squads came towards Lao Wen's troops, and they happened to hit the muzzle of our guns. It was really a disaster.  A deal at home!"

    Xiao Jinshan said to Li Jinfeng: "You rush back to the army immediately and continue to monitor. No action is allowed without my order. If the fat in your mouth escapes, I will not skin you!" Li Jinfeng grinned and saluted.  After receiving the gift, he hurried away.

    Then, Xiao Jinshan grabbed the talkie and said, "Lao Fang? I'm Xiao Jinshan. What do you mean, we can't talk to you if you have nothing to do? I'll tell you good news. I have a small or medium-sized deal, delivered to your door.  Come on, how about we work together?¡±

    On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Major General Fang Yuanshan, commander of the 10th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, curled his lips and said teasingly: "I don't believe you, Lao Xiao, who is used to eating alone, can share it with me when you have a good deal.  !¡±

    Xiao Jinshan was a little anxious and said: "Don't mistake your good intentions for donkey liver and lungs. To be serious, my reconnaissance battalion discovered a mixed British-Indian brigade with more than 7,000 people more than 40 kilometers west of our camp.  Yeah! I guess they are chasing Lao Wen and the others. I don¡¯t know if our two brigades are here. If they are lucky enough to give us a chance to open up, do you have any interest in killing them together? "

    When Fang Yuanshan heard this, his eyes lit up,He hurriedly said: "Are we two stupid if we don't eat the fat meat that is brought to our lips? There is no conflict between eating meat and carrying out the blocking mission. You can get a charter and how to fight. I, Lao Fang, will give my full cooperation!"

    Xiao Jinshan shouted: "Okay, it's nice to join hands with you, Lao Fang. It's like this. Our ninth brigade will set up a pocket formation in front, and your tenth brigade will go around to the back. We'll fight and keep this  Help the guy run back, block him, then give him a stick, and we two brigades will pack more than 7,000 dumplings for the British and Indian soldiers, and the battle will be resolved in three hours, and it will be done! "

    The 1st Jungle Brigade of the Puram Garrison of the Indian Army, which was hotly pursuing Wen Rongcai's troops, ran into the encirclement of Xiao Jinshan's 9th Brigade in the dark night. What greeted them was a sudden and fierce artillery fire. The 9th Brigade  The brigade has concentrated the heavy artillery regiments of the brigade, the artillery battalions of each regiment, and hundreds of artillery pieces of various calibers. They are responsible for fixed areas according to different ranges. There is no dead space of one square meter between areas.

    Dense shells, with long tail flames, cut through the dark night sky, screaming and falling, "Boom, boom, boom!" The fire flashed and the huge roar echoed in the woods.  Everywhere, there were the fragmented bodies of British and Indian soldiers, tall trees suddenly broken, and balls of soil and gravel stirred up.

    Brigadier General Singer and his brigade headquarters were very unfortunate to fall victim to the first round of artillery bombardment. Moreover, the benchmark bombardment of the 9th Brigade Heavy Artillery Regiment fell in the middle of his brigade headquarters. The reason was simple: a well-meaning staff officer,  In order to enable the anxious Brigadier Singh to see the compass clearly, he turned on the flashlight, albeit only for a few seconds.

    But it was this light that was keenly captured by the artillery observers. The data subsequently reported led to the first round of dozens of large-caliber artillery shells. Brigadier General Singh's body, together with his desire to eliminate Wen Rongcai's troops, promoted him to general.  The sweet dream, amidst a ball of fire and a loud noise, turned into pieces of flesh and bones, scattered on the muddy mountain road of the Hukang River Valley.

    The communications department of the brigade headquarters was also unlucky with Brigadier Singh. Therefore, in the end, the 1st Jungle Brigade of the British Army in India, Puram Garrison, did not send any message. Commander Alexander had no way of knowing.  The whereabouts of the brigade.

    The British and Indian soldiers who were suddenly attacked by artillery fire lost their command structure and were in disarray. Xiao Jinshan arranged this ambush with the intention of fighting to death. The troops were also responsible for blocking the British and Indian troops.  , not to mention the inconvenience of keeping prisoners, and having to send people to send them back, which is troublesome, why not send them back to their hometowns in Britain and India with a cannonball.

    The orders of the brigade commander Xiao Jinshan were completely implemented by the artillerymen. The artillery shells were fired indiscriminately. Because they were in a pursuit state and were afraid of falling behind, the formation of the British and Indian soldiers was absolutely dense, plus Hu Kang  Due to the terrain restrictions of the river valley, the troops could not disperse. The people were crowded into piles, and as soon as a cannonball was fired, more than a dozen British and Indian soldiers flew into the air.

    Facing the overwhelming artillery fire, the British soldiers could not stand it at first. They were so distraught that they turned around and ran back. As soon as the British ran away, the remaining Indian soldiers, of course, would not wait like fools to be bombed, and they would also be defeated.  A brigade of more than 7,000 British-Indian troops fell in the Hukang River Valley, with more than 3,000 people falling, and the artillery of the 9th Brigade had been shelling for less than fifty minutes.

    The British and Indian soldiers ran away, and the artillerymen were not polite. They adjusted their coordinates, kicked their butts, and sent over a thousand rounds of artillery shells. More than a thousand British and Indian soldiers fell on the way to escape. Xiao Jinshan was stunned.  With his mouth licking, he muttered: "This battle is really fucking weird. Thousands of people were driven away with just one shell. Why don't we charge?"

    Xiao Jinshan was very regretful. The hundreds of light and heavy machine guns he deployed on the forward position had no chance to display their power. The British and Indian soldiers turned around and ran away before they reached the fire range of the light and heavy machine guns. Those machine gunners who were gearing up  They, seeing the explosive point of the shells getting farther and farther away from their positions, jumped up and cursed in anger.

    Xiao Jinshan picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Old man, I'm almost done. The rest is all yours. How much do you want to keep? Most of it. How about it? We didn't eat alone. Isn't that interesting?  !¡±

    On the other end of the walkie-talkie, the commander of the 10th Brigade Fang Yuanshan laughed and said: "Old Xiao, I don't know you. You are reluctant to say anything when you have the opportunity to eat alone. Don't try to sell me a good deal. You have to."  , when the battle is over, why don¡¯t I treat you to a drink?

    Putting down the walkie-talkie, the combat staff beside him asked for instructions: "Brigadier Commander, the British and Indian troops have escaped. Several regiment commanders called to ask for instructions. Should we pursue them?"

    Xiao Jinshan glared at the young staff officer and said in a lecturing tone: "You don't understand tactics, don't you? How can the British and Indian soldiers escape from the 10th Brigade's pocket? In the dark night, the terrain is complex, the enemy and ourselves are  It is not easy to distinguish. Pursuing in such a situation will increase a lot of casualties. Besides, what if the British commander with enough brains comes?If there is a counter-ambush, wouldn't we suffer a big loss? As the military books say, don't chase the poor enemy. Learn more in the future!  "

    The staff officer lowered his head and smiled secretly. Xiao Jinshan was also very satisfied. He killed more than half of the British and Indian soldiers without hurting anyone. This battle was a good deal!
