    Zhao Yuhe was puzzled. How could his words make the teacher's face look so ugly?  Did you say something wrong?

    Tang Qiuli calmed down his agitated mood. He knew that the suggestions made by the three brigade commanders responsible for intervening or the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe were based on realistic considerations for the smooth implementation of the campaign plan. There was nothing wrong with this.  To a certain extent, this is the best solution, but it is the most intolerable way to solve the problem.  (Just read the novel.)

    Tang Qiuli was silent for a moment, his expression softened, and he said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, when I was sixteen years old in the Northeast, I formed the first team, the Blood Hand Regiment, the predecessor of the *** Division.  I have established a tradition and never give up on every soldier. Therefore, many old backbones of the army fought with me from the Northeast to the Indo-China Peninsula. After countless battles, they became the middle force of this army. "

    "Placing non-combat attrition soldiers on the spot seems like a good idea, but have you ever thought about the intersecting troops and the British and Indian troops crossing each other in a criss-crossing pattern? Who can guarantee that they will not encounter each other?  What should the British-Indian search force do if they encounter it? Also, do some local tribal armed forces pose a threat to their lives? How can they wait until the end of the battle due to the lack of medical treatment?

    Zhao Yuhe lowered his head. He had indeed not thought about what the division commander said. His thoughts, like those of the three brigade commanders, revolved around how to successfully complete the insertion mission. These assumptions of the division commander,  Maybe it will happen, but besides that, is there any better solution?  The troops cannot march in concealment with a large number of wounded. This in itself will slow down the marching speed of the troops.

    Tang Qiuli said in a gentle tone: "From the perspective of the overall deployment of the northern Burma campaign, the interleaving mission of the three brigades is mainly to march covertly and not be discovered by the British and Indian troops. The interleaving speed is too fast, and Xiduo is captured in advance.  Alexander found that his retreat was cut off, would he continue to attack Magao? "Definitely not."

    "No general found that his retreat was cut off, and he desperately attacked the so-called intended target, unless this target could determine the outcome of the battle. Once Alexander's center army retreated to India, the three interspersed brigades,  How much pressure will they have when they have to endure a fierce attack by more than 200,000 British and Indian troops who have suffered no losses and are eager to retreat?

    "When I issued the insertion order, I told them that we would mainly march in a concealed manner, and when we arrived near Xiduo, we would lurk and wait. However, they understood that they wanted to capture Xiduo as soon as possible. This eagerness for success was the result of  It is not necessary. Therefore, the battle to capture Xiduo must be carried out after the Magao ambush begins, and before the British and Indian troops show signs of retreat, as a front-line general, they should be very careful. "

    Looking at Zhao Yuhe's shameful expression, Tang Qiuli couldn't bear to blame him anymore, and continued: "Order the 10th, 11th, and 12th brigades of the Sulu Mobile Corps to rush to the vicinity of Xiduo with the wounded.  No one can be left behind. In addition, I will order Chutian's special operations detachment to enter the Hukang Valley area and take on the task of capturing Xiduo."

    Zhao Yuhe's expression has returned to normal. Although the teacher did not blame him, there was still a strange feeling in his heart.  It is said that kindness does not govern soldiers and justice does not support wealth. The division commander's order seems to go against this convention. However, the decision is based on the consideration of the overall situation of the campaign and the greatest possible care for the lives of the soldiers. At this point,  I still have a lot to learn.

    Tang Qiuli looked at his young chief of staff and continued: "Yuhe, don't have any psychological burden, draw up an order, Air Corps Music Department, Division Chief Song Wenhai, Division Field Hospital, in our  After the intersecting troops captured Xiduo, the heavy equipment, ammunition and materials needed by the blocking troops, as well as materials needed for building fortifications, etc., were airlifted to Xiduo in a timely manner. In addition, the field hospital needed to establish a complete field rescue system in Xiduo, which was also determined by  Southern Flight Group is responsible for air transportation.¡±

    After recording the order, Zhao Yuhe saluted with a military salute and said, "Commander, I have gone to convey the order. Do you have any other instructions?"

    Tang Qiuli nodded and said: "Go ahead, airlift supplies to Xiduo and the field hospital. We need to start handling it now. Tell the baggage department that the troops need to prepare more. The troops that block the gap are attrition."  Fighting, I don¡¯t want my soldiers to fight with British and Indian soldiers with bayonets with empty bullets!¡±

    On the morning of April 28, in Xinduo, Hukang River Valley, Major General Xiao Jinshan, commander of the 9th Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps, stood on a high ground with a telescope, looking attentively at the direction of the British and Indian troops coming, and shell boxes  On the made table, the phone rang quickly as he remembered it. He grabbed the phone and frowned before the other party could say a few words.  (Just read the novel.)

    "First regiment commander, you didn't hear clearly the order from the division headquarters."?  Your battalion has buried so many bombs on both sides of the road that it can overturn half of the mountains onto the road. How can you let the British and Indian soldiers move forward? Just clearing the road will not last for ten days or eight days.  Damn it, it's impossible to pass. Yes, reduce the volume to less than one tenth. Just think about it. I don't expect your group to block these bastards.  "

    "By the way, your four battalions are arranged in echelons to block the attack in turn. Each battalion is only allowed to fight for fifteen minutes and then withdraw. Where is all this nonsense? Execute the order. Also, send your regiment-affiliated artillery battalion.  Retreat to the rear, what can you use to fight? You can ask this question, is the thing in your soldier's hand a fire stick? "

    Putting down the phone, Xiao Jinshan shook his head and said to himself: "I don't know what the division commander is thinking. A main field brigade insists on pretending to be a bear. Artillery, recoilless guns and rocket launchers are not allowed to be used.  "Um, can I beat the British and the Indian soldiers with my fists? Isn't this a case of collapse at the first touch?"

    The combat staff officer on the side asked for instructions, "Brigadier Commander, Commander Wang of the Heavy Artillery Regiment called to ask for instructions. Do you want to set up an artillery position immediately? The observation post of the Heavy Artillery Regiment has already reached the front and started to determine the coordinates."

    Xiao Jinshan said nonchalantly: "What artillery position? Tell him that in this section of the Hukang River Valley, there is nothing to do without his artillery. He is just squinting from behind! Get everyone back!" A young staff officer said.  Stick out your tongue and quickly call the heavy artillery regiment to stop working. The brigade commander said that nothing will happen without your artillery!

    After wandering around the high ground for a few times, Xiao Jinshan felt aggrieved and picked up the walkie-talkie, "I'm Xiao Jinshan. I said, Lao Fang, this battle is difficult to fight. If we retreat ten kilometers, we will gain more. Otherwise, we can  The two of them join forces to fight these bastards in Xinduo and then retreat?"

    On the other end of the walkie-talkie, Major General Fang Yuanshan, the commander of the 10th Brigade, grinned and said: "I said, Lao Xiao, you don't have a fever, do you? What did the division commander's order say? Even the artillery is not allowed to be used. What can we do with the two soldiers?"  More than 100,000 British and Indian troops are fighting? If you scare away the British and Indian soldiers, just wait for the division commander to deal with you. Removal is frivolous, so just follow the division commander's orders honestly!"

    Xiao Jinshan sighed and said: "This battle has been fought so hard. With the marching formation of the British and Indian troops, my heavy artillery regiment can kill thousands of them with a single volley. It's better now that it makes people chase them away."  What the hell is this? By the way, we have to retreat at the same pace. Don't you retreat first and let the British eat my dumplings from behind!"

    Fang Yuanshan opened his mouth angrily and shouted loudly: "Old Xiao, what did you say? I won't be done with you just based on your words!"

    Xiao Jinshan also knew that what he said was a bit too much, so he hurriedly said: "Old Fang, don't take it to heart, isn't this feeling aggrieved! You, Old Fang, are not that kind of person to complain to an old comrade!  "After saying that, Fang Yuanshan put down the walkie-talkie without waiting for him to speak.

    Four hours later, near noon, more than fifty kilometers away from Xinduo, a burst of fierce gunfire suddenly broke out. Xiao Jinshan perked up and thought to himself: "The first battalion of the regiment, with the British and Indians  The soldiers are on the move, damn, after waiting for these bastards all night, they finally show up!"

    Seven or eight minutes later, the phone rang again. Xiao Jinshan picked up the phone. It was a call from a regiment commander. Listening to the voice, he was a little angry and said, "Brigadier Commander, the British have dispatched tanks. These idiots have learned their lesson.  Within five minutes of the fight, the tanks were dispatched. I lost dozens of people, and I had organized a rocket launcher unit to go up. I had to kill the British tanks! "

    Xiao Jinshan yelled: "Are you an idiot? You are absolutely not allowed to use rocket launchers. The British have sent out tanks. You should withdraw immediately. Why are you waiting to be beaten?"

    The first regiment leader argued: "Didn't you order us to fight for fifteen minutes? We have only been fighting for seven or eight minutes, and the bullets haven't been finished yet." Xiao Jinshan angrily slammed the shell box and shouted: "Right now  Retreat! Retreat to the back of the Fourth Battalion. I have never seen you so determined. You are crazy about wanting to fight, right?"

    More than forty minutes later, regiments and battalions of soldiers retreated in a huff. Xiao Jinshan watched from the high ground. He felt that they were in a rout. He was so embarrassed that he gritted his teeth and the gunshots were silent.  After a while, it broke out again, and the second battalion of the first regiment was at war with the British and Indian troops again. Xiao Jinshan ordered to the staff: "Convey my order. The blocking time of each battalion is shortened to ten minutes. When the British troops dispatched tanks,  , evacuate the original position immediately.¡±

    The commander of a regiment ran over panting. As soon as he saw Xiao Jinshan's face, he shouted loudly: "Brigadier Commander, what kind of battle is this? I have lost dozens of brothers, and I have a guy in my hand. I am stunned.  If you don¡¯t let them use it, you¡¯ll let the British and Indian soldiers take advantage. I can¡¯t figure it out!¡±

    Xiao Jinshan glanced at the regiment leader coldly and said, "What are you shouting about? I can't figure it out.Go to the back and leave the blocking task of your group to several other groups!  "

    The first regiment commander was still trying to distinguish, but the gunshots in front became sparse again. Xiao Jinshan picked up the binoculars, observed the situation, and left the first regiment commander, who was full of grievances, to dry out.
