Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The tense night passed quietly, and the sun rose over the Indochina Peninsula. The bright sunshine dispersed the dense fog, and everything in the Hukang Valley was clearly displayed before our eyes.

    In the small town of Xiduo, bathed in the rising sun, the residents who relied on their strength to make a living got up early and prepared to start a day of hard work. They opened the door of their homes and just took a few steps. They were shocked. Oh, the streets were full of people.  It was a soldier with guns and ammunition. He suddenly retracted, feeling anxious and uneasy. Could it be that Xiduo had changed the hilltop again?

    Through the crack in the door, they quietly observed these soldiers. They recognized the military uniforms on their bodies as Chinese soldiers. Now, they were relieved. These Chinese soldiers never harmed the common people. When they were there, it was rare for people to rely on their own strength to make a living.  I've been living a good life for a few days, but I'm just surprised that I didn't hear the sound of gunfire. Where did the British and those motley military leaders in the town go?

    The sun continued to rise, and those who had followed the footsteps of the British, the leaders of various armed forces, and the leaders of various forces, also got up one after another. After learning this shocking news, their faces turned pale with fright, and their hearts trembled. The Chinese soldiers'  It's amazing, they have experienced it deeply and suffered deeply, and their memories are still fresh in their minds.

    At first, I was beaten to death by these Chinese soldiers, and they were driven into the deep mountains and forests, but they still refused to let go. Finally, the British came back, and I once again lived a good life like before, earning a lot of money.  , killing someone, robbing a girl, etc., life was good, but the Chinese soldiers came back again.

    "It's a day of change, but where are those British soldiers?"  I didn't hear the sound of gunfire. The sky changed overnight. Are you going to let people live?  Why did these Chinese soldiers occupy Xiduo quietly? Their own sufferings have come again. They quickly closed the door, dug holes and buried gold and silver treasures, and then.  Run away with his cronies.

    Otherwise, after returning, those things they do, the guy who eats will definitely not be able to keep it.  The Chinese soldiers were cruel and merciless, but it was too late. The town was surrounded by water. When they reached the entrance of the town, they were blocked and they had to return home dejectedly.  His eyes were wide open, waiting for disaster to come.

    In the barracks of the British and Indian troops, there was another scene. Outside, the soldiers of the special operations detachment and the three field brigades were already in their positions, and no flies could fly out of the camp. They were just waiting for these young soldiers to get up and do morning exercises.  Then.  Taking it down in one fell swoop saves the trouble of having to wake them up one by one.

    But.  It was already past nine o'clock in the morning, the sun was rising high, and the barracks where the British and Indian troops were stationed were still quiet. There was no intention of doing morning exercises at all, but the constant sound of snoring embellished this interesting morning.

    Chu Tian and the three brigade commanders, including the soldiers, couldn't help but wonder, is today the Queen's birthday?  No morning exercises.  Sleeping until you wake up naturally is a special way to celebrate Her Majesty the Queen's birthday?

    The officers and soldiers of the ** Division know that since they were stationed in Xiduo, the British and Indian soldiers of this regiment have not gone out for morning exercises or slept in the sun to dry their buttocks.  The stomach was growling with hunger and no one got up. It is said that this was the order of Commander Brest. The reason is that soldiers who cannot rest are not good soldiers. We must fully care about the physical health of the soldiers and get enough sleep.  , is one of the needs!

    After another ten minutes, there was still no movement, not even anyone woken up by peeing. Chu Tian, ??Wang Yiwu, Zhao Shoushan, and Geng Zhijie shook their heads and sighed while discussing. As for Wang Yiwu, what was in his heart last night was not the same.  Happily, since entering Xiduo, it has long since disappeared.

    After looking at the situation at various encirclement locations, it is true that we do not need that many troops. The night is dark and foggy, and the line of sight is not wide. In addition, due to the terrain restrictions in the town, too many troops cannot be deployed, and accidental injuries are easy to occur. I feel that  That¡¯s why I understood Chu Tian¡¯s approach.

    Wang Yiwu shook his head and said: "Captain Chu, Lao Zhao, Lao Geng, have you ever seen such an army? The guns are almost pressed against their heads outside. These bastards sleep like dead pigs.  , I don¡¯t even know how to fight with such a soldier? Damn, he simply doesn¡¯t know what to say.

    Chu Tian also found it incredible and said: "My opinion is that we can't wait any longer. The division commander is still waiting to report the battle situation. Furthermore, we still have to build blocking positions, open airdrop sites, build airstrips, and a lot of things  , just start shouting, if anyone dares to resist, shoot without mercy, three brigade commanders, what are your opinions? "

    There is no reason why Wang Yiwu, Zhao Shoushan, and Geng Zhijie disagree. That is to say, Chutian was responsible for the battle to capture Xiduo and had many considerations. If it were any one of them, he would still be so polite. Sun  As soon as they showed up, they had already used bullets to blast these British guys and Indian soldiers out of bed.

    The shouting started, but there was no movement at first. Then, several exclamations came from the room, probablyWhen they reached the muzzle of the gun outside, there was immediately a noise of scrambling, knocking things over, and panicked shouts in English and Indian. Oops, it was like poking a hornet's nest in various camps of the British and Indian troops.  , it was a mess at that time.

    There are some people who do not believe in evil. A few British soldiers and Indian soldiers, who should be officers and the like, picked up the guns in their hands and pointed them outside, just beating them randomly. Probably, they thought that the muzzles of the guns outside were just decorations.

    Immediately, they knew the consequences of impulsiveness. The snipers who had been prepared for a long time, before they could retract their muzzles, "Bah, bang, bang!" Several different gunshots, large-caliber sniper rifle bullets,  Spinning and flying over, the high-speed metal projectiles carried a huge impact, smashing the heads of several blind guys like watermelons.

    The white brains, mixed with the crimson blood, spattered all over the wall. The headless corpse fell slumped to the ground. At this moment, the British and Indian soldiers in the room were so frightened that they held their hands.  The guns were as hot as a red-hot iron, and they were thrown out of the windows one after another. Soon, there were guns piled under the windows of every room.

    Then, soldiers and officers of the British and Indian troops lined up and walked out of each room obediently with their hands raised. They gathered in the center of Xiduo. They looked nervously at the Chinese soldiers around them with frightened eyes.  They could not predict what kind of fate awaited them. At 9:40 a.m. on April 29, the battle to capture Xiduo ended successfully.

    In this battle, a regiment of the West Dort Guards of the British Army in India was captured alive. More than 1,700 people, starting from the regiment commander Colonel Brest, were captured. Three brigades of the Special Operations Detachment of the ** Division and the Sulu Mobile Corps were captured alive.  , there were no casualties, the battle process was unusually calm, not even a small-scale battle occurred, and the bullets fired by the troops were only more than a hundred rounds, creating a classic example of a sneak attack.

    As for these prisoners, Major General Zhao Shoushan, commander of the 11th Brigade of the Sulu Mobile Corps, came up with a good idea. He said to Chu Tian, ??Wang Yiwu, and Geng Zhijie: "There is no reason to eat and not work. We  We can¡¯t keep these bastards in vain. In my opinion, simply put them on the construction site, clean up the airdrop site, and build a field airport. We can¡¯t let them idle anyway!¡±

    Wang Yiwu laughed, kept saying wonderful things, and jokingly said to Zhao Shoushan: "Old Zhao, why don't you let these prisoners go to your 11th Brigade to dig trenches and build fortifications?"

    Zhao Shoushan was shocked and waved his hands repeatedly, saying: "No, no, no! Old Wang, your idea is not very good. How can these losers dig trenches? I'm afraid that the trenches they dig will cost my soldiers' lives."  , let them do some unskilled work!" Several people laughed and went to work.

    At 9:50, Chu Tian, ??the leader of the special operations detachment, reported the situation of the battle in Xiduo to the division commander Tang Qiuli. The telegram was very simple, "Commander, our special operations detachment cooperated with the field troops. At 9:40 this morning,  The battle went smoothly and more than 1,700 British and Indian garrison troops were captured, and no news of the battle was leaked. "

    In the eastern section of the Hukang River Valley, on a hillside covered with wild flowers, after reading Chutian¡¯s telegram, Tang Qiuli happily patted the seat of the jeep and said loudly: ¡°Okay, Chutian has enough brains to know my intentions.  , Capturing Cido without anyone noticing is equivalent to closing the door for Alexander to escape back to East India. This is nothing more than catching a turtle in a jar!"

    What he values ??most is the last sentence of the telegram, "The battle news has not been leaked." This is exactly the result he needs. Chutian is finished. Alexander and his remaining soldiers will be defeated and will hit the iron plate.

    Then, Tang Qiuli said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, order Xiao Jinshan and Fang Yuanshan not to pursue them too closely and keep a two-day distance from the defeated British and Indian troops. At the same time, order them to move westward."  The extra eight brigades should speed up and arrive in front of Alexander. He ordered Le Yiqin to stay in contact with Xiduo and be ready to start airdropping supplies at any time. We should also slow down. "

    Zhao Yuhe said with a smile: "Commander, I'm afraid that at this time, Commander Le is not thinking about airdropping Xiduo. All his thoughts are thinking about how to fight a happy battle and blow up the British and Indian troops."  The man fell on his back!"

    Tang Qiuli also laughed. He agreed with Zhao Yuhe's words and added: "So, the order given to Le Yiqin, a militant, should be added with these words: The Xiduo airdrop mission will take priority over the bombing of the retreating British and Indian troops.  Army, otherwise, you will have to serve as my staff officer for a while!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe was overjoyed. He knew that the division commander had really pinched Le Yiqin's veins. He didn't know what kind of wonderful expression Commander Le, who commanded nearly a thousand aircraft, had when he saw the division commander's order.

    At around nine o'clock in the morning, more than 40 kilometers away from Xindu, Alexander, the commander of the British and Indian troops, was at the military doctor's office.After careful treatment, Youyou finally woke up, turned her dull eyes a few times, and said to the staff officer beside her: "Go, invite Chief of Staff Adams here, I have something important to explain!"
